Orange Team Finale

[voidtreckermods]

Four days of ice maze, four days of cold, four days of wandering lost, falling into traps and slowly getting closer to the centre of the labyrinth.

There is very little warning in the labyrinth, those nearer the outer walls may see the storm get more intense outside but their first real indication that something is wrong is when the world lurches.

Parts of the maze have moved before, passages opening and closing. But now the whole labyrinth moves, shaking and twisting, spinning in the sky, as if it were trying to shake those inside out. They may be able brace themselves, they may be thrown down passageways, into ice walls.

The whole place seems to get colder. An attempt to freeze them out. The shaking only lasts a few minutes, but it is intense.

But even this attempt at getting rid of them isn’t enough it seems, because those close enough will soon find themselves entering through the last gap in the ice. To the machine room itself. Indeed it might be that they were flung closer by the shaking itself.

"I take care of stuff people blame on ghosts and exorcize haunted buildings. Nothing like hunting down serial killers! Why doesn't law enforcement do its job wherever all you kids are from, my god..." Seriously, all these kid geniuses and superkids are starting to concern Reigen, if there's no way for them to leave this sort of thing to responsible adults.

Honestly, he wasn't thinking enough to question the pills, since he trusted Heiji knew what they did if he could rattle off the name like that. "Ha, right, I had to herd some farm animals during that--good job thinking ahead, Heiji-kun. We'll have to keep preparing for getting banged up at this rate, between this stuff and the dinosaurs..."

Hattori looked at Reigen skeptical for a moment before remembering that his world might not have ghosts, but another world might. The question about the police had him smirking. "My old man is the Chief of the Osaka Police Department so I've been around it all my life. We don't really answer to anyone so sometimes the high school detectives can go and do things police can't. Also, regular police officers just aren't as good as Kudo and I are."

He had opinions about how often the real 'kids' (from his point of view) got brought into their cases because of Conan, but he wasn't going to get into it here. He didn't like it when Kudazu and Ren got involved and they were Kudo and Hattori's same age.

That aside, his smile grew a bit at Reigen approving of his supplies. However, he chuckled and shook his head about the dinosaurs. "These missions are really weird." Anyway.. "Will you be able to walk with help now? We don't have to just yet, but at some point that machine is going to get hacked and we might have to make a fast exit." He just hoped there would be something underneath them when they jumped.

Reigen couldn't help feeling a bit conflicted at that answer. He knew a lot of young people that were capable of stuff he wasn't: hell, his own student had a power that he barely understood. Still, it couldn't be good to not let kids have the chance to have normal childhoods because of how skilled they are. "Well...try not to get shot again." Not the best advice, probably, but Reigen wasn't sure saying he was worried would go well for Heiji. He didn't want to condescend the kid.

"Ha..tell me about it. They keep getting weirder and weirder." With a small laugh, Reigen observed the busted leg and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be ok. Think Spider-san will let me hitch a ride?" That was half a joke, since riding a giant spider actually sounded terrifying.

Hattori was pretty used to people having opinions on what he did as a high schooler so he wasn't too worried when he saw the telltale signs of Reigen not being too happy about him solving murder mysteries. His mother had a similar opinion.

What comes out of the older man's mouth next though had him smiling. He appreciated Reigen saying that opposed to something like 'stop messing around with murderers'. "It's always the goal, I promise!"

He looked around for the spider, but noticed Conan was starting to stir. "I'll tell her if I see her. I need to get back to Ku-Conan. Holler my way if you need anything else okay?"

"Thanks, I owe you one. But I'll be fine, you go take care of Conan-kun!" After all, Conan was like seven, unless he turned out to actually be some immortal genius or whatever in the form of a child like Joscelin.

Reigen didn't like basically not being able to move while a crisis was going on, but better now than while they were stuck in the labyrinth, honestly. Man, when all of this was over, Reigen needed a hot bath and a nap.
