KID VS Jareth TRUE ENDING

"JARETH!" Kid shouted, announcing his presence as he stormed the great hall of the Goblin King's castle.

"Well, well...so the thief has arrived."

"Enough games, Jareth! I will save Tantei-kun, and—" Kid cut off, realizing something. "Hey, wait...where is he?"

"What? He's right over there..." Confused, Jareth blinked and looked to the spot the kidnapped not-child was supposed to be. Instead, there was a small group of sheepish-looking goblins trying to avoid glancing anywhere in the two combatants' direction now that they'd been noticed.

Jareth's eye twitched. "Well?" He demanded. He was a friggin Goblin King, he DID have things to do—kingdom to run, children to kidnap, teenage girls to seduce, other fanfics to appear in...he was a busy man, after all.

One of the smaller goblins was pushed forward. With little choice, he shuffled up to Jareth and held up a note.

"He says to give you this."

Annoyed, Jareth snatched the note and began to read. Kid, being Kid, looked over the older man's shoulder to read the note as well.

"Jareth and Kid,

Not nice of you boys to have a party and not invite me. So, I figured I'd make off with the treasure since you two were too busy posturing. No need to worry. The little detective is perfectly safe in my hands.

Signed,

Lupin III"

And almost as if it was mocking them, the note even included a little drawing at the bottom of what could only be Lupin SMIRKING at them.

Stare.

Blink.

Stare.

Blink. Blink.

And then it finally hit them just what happened.

Kid's eye twitched. "That...damn..."

Cut to outside.

"LUUUUUPIIIIIIIIIIN!"

Goblins trembled, strange bird-creatures scattered.

And the world finally knew the true meaning of fear...

Jigen looked back at the castle. "Someone sounds mad."

"Well, he shouldn't have wasted all that time, then." Lupin shrugged with a grin.

Conan sighed. "Not that I don't appreciate the help," Because at least SOMEBODY had tried to get him out of there, "but did you REALLY need to antagonize him?"

Lupin shrugged. "Hey, no good thief just CLAIMS a detective. We earn them!"

"That sounds surprisingly noble of you." Goemon noted.

"Besides, if anyone should get to claim a detective, it should be me!"

Conan sighed. "So much for noble."

"Never claimed to be." Besides, he was still annoyed about the hissy fit Kid threw over Lupin's previous face-off with the shrunken detective.

After all, Kid may have successfully embarrassed Conan in front of a crowd of sympathizers to guilt him into coming to his next heist, but that hardly meant he'd stand by and let Lupin get away with it. And he most certainly didn't.

Lupin STILL couldn't look Zenigata in the eye.

Jigen frowned "Hey, Lupin. You're not still mad about Kid super-gluing you to—"

"That never happened!"

"But—"

"NEVER. HAPPENED."

There was silence for a moment as the other three stared at a twitching Lupin.

"O...kay..." Conan muttered, looking away.

He wouldn't ask. It'd be better for his sanity that way.

"So what now?" The spectacled boy wondered.

"Hmm..." Lupin thought it over for a moment before grinning. "Hey! Why don't you join my crew here!"

Pause.

Conan stared. "What?"

"Well, far be it from me to give up an opportunity to tick off that annoying phantom wanna-be." And if rescuing the little hostage before Kid could didn't tick Kid off, having said hostage hanging with his group would certainly do the trick.

"But I'm a detective!"

"We can fix that."

"That's not something you can just 'fix'!"

"Never know till you try, right?"

Conan slapped his forehead. 'Can someone SANE save me? Anyone? Please?'

Lupin: Because YES, I AM awesome enough to steal the ending. And the story is better off for it.

*Groan*

Lupin: Looks like it's time to head out. Till next time! *Flees*

What happened? Why is there an extra chapter here? *Reads over, eyes widen* Oh...oh boy...I didn't know they could do that.
