This finalizes the first movie! Yay! Writing this took a long time.

So, I know the movies are technically non-canon but I'll be treating all the ones from Detective Conan as if they were part of the main story.

This is only the first one. I hope everyone liked it.


Helicopters flew over the Beika City Building as explosions kept occurring. The bombs had yet to stop but they seemed deliberately calculated. Although columns and walls came down, they only blocked doorways, staircases, and hallways. The tall skyscraper showed no signs of being brought down because of any of it.

Maybe that made the crowd a little more comfortable because despite having run away from the building, they remained on the plaza around it to watch.

The ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks arrived one after the other. They all got to work, doing their own duties without a second to breathe in between.

It took over half an hour for Conan and the others to drive to the Beika City Building. Even with the police sirens on, it was already close to 11:00 by the time they got there. Detective Shiratori arrived right after in another car with the cuffed Moriya Teiji.

Conan wasted no time in sneaking off. He took the chance while the rescue teams were still determining the situation to go in through the small spaces he could find. There might have been many inconveniences with being a child, but right now, it was seriously helpful to him. As Shinichi, he might not have been able to get through.

Still, the spaces were too small and he was covered with dirt all over, some pieces of his clothing being torn by the sharp rubble and metals. Shinichi didn't even glance down at his appearance, his small legs not stopping. Hold on, [Name]! I'm coming!

Meanwhile, inside the lobby of Cinema 1.

[Name] had been blown away by the first blast. When she came to, her ears were ringing and everything sounded muffled around her.

[Name] held her head, wobbling as she got back on her feet. Her head was in so much pain that it felt as if it had been split in half and smashed with a hammer countless times. "Just what...?"

Inside the lobby, some people were awake and others were unconscious. Some sat in a corner in desperation while others tried to find a way out of here. Those whose phones were still working tried to call for help, but the rescue teams were still unable to get up here. There were others who sent messages and called their loved ones, unsure if this would be the last time they would be able to talk to them. If the calls were unable to get through, they just recorded videos for them.

The air was seriously depressing.

[Name] grabbed her bag from the floor and placed the strap on the opposite shoulder as if it were a sash. It was harder for her bag to fall like this. Her phone had ended up pretty far away from her, but other than the screen being cracked, it worked just fine.

Once the dizziness she felt was gone, [Name] used the flashlight on her phone to search around. She knew some people had tried to find an exit already but there was a difference between a panicking civilian and a calm expert. Unfortunately, there wasn't even the smallest space to get out through. The doors were all sealed and there were no windows in here either.

There was no way out. They could only wait for rescue to come and clear the rubble that was blocking the doors. [Name] scratched her head as she returned to the lobby. Even if I call them, they wouldn't be able to do anything. Ah, I really don't like waiting around. I hope Shinichi didn't make it.
