Last chapter shows the "meeting" between Ankh, Kaito Kuroba/Phantom Thief Kid and Kyuji Hino, so now the trio are about to form an UNEASY ALLIANCE to save the airship from becoming a tool for the Red Siamese Cats' malevolent schemes. Although this won't be as easy given how sharp the terrorists can be and they must find a way to sneak in without being caught on sight.

Also, Heiji Hattori makes an appearance here…

At the airship, the prisoners are being taken and are sent to be locked up inside the smoking room area while the Red Siamese Cats are preparing their plot to cause trouble as the airship is just a several minutes away from arriving at the Osaka prefecture, where the people there are unaware of the trouble that is hounding the airship, although the Tokyo authorities are finally been aware of the situation as Shintaro Gotoh used his connection being a former policeman to explain to them the current crisis.

Indeed, as they attempt to contact the airship, there was no answer, thus confirming Gotoh's claim that the airship is indeed taken over by the dreaded Red Siamese Cats.

At the Metropolitan Police Department, Juzo Megure is having an emergency meeting with the rest of his colleagues after getting confirmation about the situation of the airship where Jirokichi Suzuki and his guests are taken prisoner and hostage by the Red Siamese Cats, after getting word from Gotoh about the situation, and they even got more confirmation after the airship's direct line wasn't answered and there was no answer from Kogoro Mori's phone, assuming it was in "silent mode" or taken away by the terrorists. Joining Megure in the discussion were:

- Wataru Takagi

- Miwako Sato

- Ninzaburo Shiratori

- Detective Chiba

- Kiyonaga Matsumoto

- Shintaro Chaki

Each of them offered their comments and suggestions on what their next move would be so as to anticipate the Red Siamese Cats' next move, and since they concluded that the airship are just several minutes away from reaching the Osaka boarder, each one of them offered to inform the Osaka Police District of the situation at hand.

"Everyone...thank you for coming on such short notice...as I told you just now, Shintaro Gotoh called me and informed me of what is happening...and after repeated attempts to call Jirokichi Suzuki and the media crew who are with him went unanswered...it is now proven that the airship has indeed been taken over...although I asked Gotoh to produce proof about the Red Siamese Cats' involvement, he sent me a video of it and there you saw it as well..."

"This has to be a bad day of Jirokichi...he's looking forward to capture the Phantom Thief Kid in front of everyone inside the airship..."

"Anyhow...what should we do...? We can't just send the SWAT team to go after it..."

"Yeah...and they're nearing Osaka by then, so they got a huge head-start and we can't possibly catch them without provoking a firefight..."

"Point taken...even if we did disable the airship...it might crash towards the sea or at the ground should it reach Osaka..."

"How about the airstrike force?"

"You idiot! We can't provoke them in to a firefight! They might be forced to use the hostages as shields!"

"Then how about we have someone sneak on board?"

"And how would you do that when we can't even get close without having them seen us?"

"Then we negotiate with them?"

"You know the Diet's policy - "no ransom and no demand"! We just can't!"

"Wait a moment, everyone...you..can you contact Tokyo Air Traffic Control?"

"Yes, sir..."

"Tell them this..."

After considering his colleagues' opinions, Megure asked one of the MPD's staff members to contact the air control tower to try and determine the airship's current position, but after 15 minutes the staff member came back and told Megure that the airship has deactivated its tools making the airship "invisible" to sensors, though Megure now has to rely on Gotoh's information that it is nearing Osaka prefecture. There he talked to his colleagues on what their opinions be to make their next decision.

"It looks like the Red Siamese Cats have no intention of talking to us..."

"Then what should we do now? We can't sit here and do nothing!"

"Okay, what do you propose?"

"Are you challenging me?"

"Gentlemen! Stop bickering among yourselves!"

"I know! Let's call Heizo Hattori from the Osaka Police District! Since the airship is nearing Osaka...maybe they can anticipate them and maybe try to slow their movement..."

"I agree with that!"

"Sounds good to me..."

"Better than nothing."

"That may be our only hope..."

"Looks like they are in agreement, Megure..."

Seeing that most of them having the same suggestion, Megure decided that they must inform the Osaka Police about the matter so as they would be able to deal with the problem once the airship enters Osaka's prefecture, and there they can make use of its air SWAT team to zero in on the airship and try to disable it without causing risks to the passengers and the civilians below.

At the ground, where Kyuji, Ankh and Kaito are currently standing, the trio are discussing on how to get to the airship without arousing suspicion and detection from the terrorists, knowing that the Red Siamese Cats would open fire at any flying objects flying near the airship, and there Shinichi's consciousness mentally spoke to Ankh, which the Greed replied aloud in annoyance, though Kaito is amused to see how Shinichi is still "alive" despite his body being controlled by someone.

"Hmm...so Shinichi is still mentally alive...yet he is still unable to take control of his body..."

Kaito glances at Ankh, curious as to how he is able to change Shinichi's body to Conan Edogawa's form and he mentally thanked himself for not bringing with him the Hikuidori Medal with him as he felt that Ankh might detect it and take it from him through force. The then watches Ankh and Shinichi "argue" for several minutes before the next scene unfolds.

"You want me to what?"

"Pose as me for a while...there is someone I want you to talk to..."

"Over my dead body! I did what you asked me to at that airship and now you want to to talk to someone?"

"Please...this is important! Lives are at stake!"

"I don't care!"

"If you do this, I'll help you get your Core Medals back..."

"Are you sure of your promise?"

"Yes."

"Blast it! You'd better keep your end of your bargain!"

"Thanks."

The next scene shows Shinichi finally persuaded Ankh to follow his lead and uses the bowtie to alter its voice mechanism and he now sounded like Shinichi, and through Shinichi's instruction, he contacted Heiji Hattori, who is currently in Osaka with his current lover, Kazuha Toyama, having an excursion, and soon Heiji answered his cellphone after it rang for several minutes.

"Hello?"

"Heiji!"

"Shinichi? Hey! I haven't heard from you for months! Even as your alter-ego, Conan! What's the call?"

"We got ourselves a situation...and this also involves your place in Osaka."

"What about it? Huh? Airship? I heard that Jirokichi is going to nab the...what? Seriously?"

"Yes...the Red Siamese Cats took over the airship...and has everyone hostage..."

"...I see...yeah...will call my dad...okay...thanks..."

"Thanks."

After being told about the situation, Heiji told Kazuha the upcoming crisis and she insisted that she come along to assist, which he reluctantly accepted and they boarded a motorcycle to head for the Osaka Police District HQ to inform his dad, Heizo, who is the OPD's chief. To anticipate their next move, he called his dad on his cellphone and told him what he knows, and there Heizo told his son that Tokyo's MPD informed him and his office the situation and tells him to stay in the streets and be vigilant, instructing him to call the OPD HQ the moment he sees the airship on sight.

Back at Tokyo, the trio came up with a plan and Kyuji summoned more Tako Candroids and had them form a bridge that would follow the airship while sending a swarm of Taka Candroids to use them as "foils" to distract the terrorists and when everything is in place, Kyuji instructs Ankh and Kaito to board the Ride Vendor, now in "motorcycle form" and cruise on the "bridge" as the Candroids will be able to catch up with the airship, though Kaito rebutted that Kyuji would be left behind.

"...and that's the plan..."

"Fine with me."

"But what about you? Youdon't have a bike to ride..so you'll be left behind..."

"That won't be a problem for me. You two should be enough to ride the Ride Vendor..."

"Well...I guess you have a plan..."

"Ankh...I know you want your medals back...but will you be patient for a little longer?"

"Fine."

"Again I must ask...how will you catch up with us if you don't have a way of getting to the airship faster?"

"That won't be a problem."

"Hey, Kyuji! Don't do something foolish...!"

Kyuji told Kaito that it won't be a problem as he puts on the O-Driver and slots in three Core Medals – Taka, Ocelot, and Cheetah Medals and then scans them with the O-Scanner, evoking his transformation into O's, much to Ankh's annoyance as Kyuji had just revealed O's secret to the Phantom Thief Kid, though Kaito is rather fascinated at seeing O's transformation.

O-Scanner: "TAKA…OCELOT…CHEETAH!"

"You fool!"

"Wow...nice transformation."

"Alright...let's go!"

"Grr...what an idiot..."

And so Ankh and Kaito cruises the Ride Vendor over the Tako Candroids who formed a makeshift bridge that would soon connect them towards the airship while O's began running and got ahead of the two using the Cheetah Medal's power of speed, and he hoped that the Taka Candroids are already there and start to distract the terrorists long enough to allow the trio sneak inside the airship without trouble.

At Osaka, the scene shifts to the Nara prefecture where Heiji is talking to some policemen sent by Heizo to assist him in finding the airship should it enter Osaka, and while they are discussing on what to do next once the airship is spotted, one of the policemen called their attention after he checked his laptop where he received an e-mail that was sent by the Red Siamese Cats, which the e-mail message claimed that the terrorists will release the deadly bacteria onto the city of Osaka once the airship enters the area of Nara, and this didn't sit well with Heiji and Kazuha.

"Sir...I got an e-mail message...and I believe it's from the Red Siamese Cats!"

"What does it says?"

"It says that they intend to release the deadly bacteria onto Osaka once it reaches Nara prefecture...and well..."

"They can't be serious...they hijacked the airship and took hostages just to cause biological warfare attacks on Osaka?"

"Blast! I didn't anticipated this!"

"What if it's a hoax?"

"I don't think so. Remember 10 years ago? They stole an ampoule at a lab and it is assumed that they held it up until now...it's likely that they're serious about their threat..."

"What should I do now?"

"Find the IP address...and maybe we can pinpoint the airship's current location..."

"I'm on it..."

As the policeman tries to find the source of the IP address where the message came from, Kazuha tells Heiji and pointed out at the streets, where the residents and tourists are panicking at the streets, causing a stampede and soon casualties began to mount, as they appeared to have heard about the bacteria from 10 years ago and feared of being infected. It soon became a pandemic panic as police are sent to restore calm and perform some crowd control.

"Heiji...look! Everyone's in panic!"

"This is more than what I thought...the Red Siamese Cats sent the messages on all over Osaka...they intend to cause panic and sow fear to everyone here!"

"Sir...the message was sent to every computer in Osaka!"

"Blast! Call the crowd control! and some ambulances! There's going to be a lot of casualties here!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Blast...why didn't Shinichi told me about the fact that those terrorists are holding that bacteria?"

Heiji became concerned at the turn of events, wondering what the Red Siamese Cats are planning to do and wondered if this is really what the terrorists are aiming for instead of holding the hostages as part of their ransom demands.

To Be Continued…

Looks like Osaka is in turmoil after getting a "death threat" from the terrorists in threatening to unleash the bacteria upon its citizens. Heiji is sure going to have his hands full in figuring out what the Red Siamese Cats are really intending to do once the airship arrives.

Either Kyuji is very naïve or foolish…revealing his transformation in front of Kaito, as Ankh wanted to smack Kyuji for his reckless action though it is too late to stop as the trio are heading for the airship to sneak inside and save the hostages. However, it would be bound to happen that Kaito and Ankh might fight each other since the two of them are after the red Core Medals that needed to reclaim in order to get his ORIGINAL body back.

Ankh vs. Kaito at the end of this arc…?

Preview:

The next chapter will be action –packed as our heroes get onboard the airship and started to take down the terrorists. Also, there will be some detective elements as Shinichi notices something suspicious about the Red Siamese Cats' actions and started to doubt their intentions, sensing something deeper than unleashing a plague on Osaka.
