Tsunade: The mont a shadow touches you, it devours you—regardless of body size. What is this monster?
Jiraiya: This isn't just a monster anymore. We can't even determine what kind of creature it is.
Asmitah: It feels more like a conceptual entity.
Degel: Conceptual? Could this Shadow Fiend be an embodint of a concept or a rule?
Hypnos: That would make it a supre deity! A god who represents fundantal laws!
Thanatos: Don't be ridiculous. A being of that level would be on par with a chief deity—or even higher. There's no way sothing this small could be that.
Diana: Small? Did you not see how massive it becos when devouring its target?
Clark: This thing is a real problem. Once its shadow touches you, you're finished. And it seems to gain speed from its prey, making it impossible to escape.
Dan Moroboshi: What's worse is that ranged attacks don't seem to work. I'm not sure if our Ultraman light beams will be effective either.
Daigo: If they aren't, I don't know how we're supposed to contain it.
Barry: If it shows up, maybe I should try? My speed might keep the shadow from touching —I could outrun it.
Bruce Wayne: Still a major risk. Honestly, I hope it never shows up in our universe.
Ryuu: I agree. This thing is just too bizarre. If it does appear, there shouldn't be any living beings near it.
Sengoku: Sa here. If it can't move, maybe it's manageable. But if it can move? We're in big trouble.
As everyone debated, the screen began predicting which universe the Shadow Fiend would appear in.
"Now predicting the next universe for the Shadow Fiend's appearance: the Doraemon Universe."
As soon as the voice finished, Nobita let out a scream.
Nobita: EHHHHH?! No way! That thing's showing up in our world?!
Suneo: Calm down, Nobita! What are you panicking for?
Nobita: How can I not panic?! If its shadow touches you, you're done for! How do we even contain that?
Shizuka: He's right. I doubt attacks will work on it at all...
Dorami: Don't worry. I've got a plan. If there are no shadows, then there's no problem, right?
Gian: Huh? You an we wait until nightfall or sothing?
Dorami: No, I can use a gadget to cut off your shadows. That way, there's no risk of them touching the Shadow Fiend.
Nobita: Oh yeah! That trick!
Bruce Wayne: Wait... what? Cut off shadows? What kind of tech is this?
Dorami: I'm not exactly sure how it works... It's just a 22nd-century gadget.
Bruce Wayne: My god… being able to cut off shadows at will. Your tech never stops being terrifying.
Dan Moroboshi: No kidding. Even the Land of Light couldn't pull sothing like that off.
Dorami: Ehehe, thanks for the praise!
At that mont, the screen switched to a live view showing the Shadow Fiend's current location.
It was calmly resting in the middle of a street.
The street was bustling with people, and shadows continued to fall across the Fiend's form.
Suddenly, it burst into enormous clouds of smoke, splitting into multiple tendrils that darted toward each person whose shadow had touched it!
The abrupt attack terrified everyone—panic broke out as they fled.
Nobita: Aaaah! It's happening! The Shadow Fiend is attacking people!
Gian: We need to get over there fast! Otherwise they're dood!
Suneo: No good—we're too late!
Dorami: Leave it to !
Just as the smoke was about to reach the targets, everything stopped.
People mid-run, the moving smoke, the flicker of the wind—all of it ca to a halt.
Ti itself had stopped.
Dorami: Whew... Just in ti to use the Ti Stopper.
Shizuka: Thank goodness! You used the Ti Stopper in the nick of ti!
Dorami: Yup! I figured the mont a containnt creature appeared, soone might get hurt. So I prepared in advance. As soon as I saw a problem, I stopped ti.
Gian: Dorami, you're amazing! If it were Doraemon, he might not have thought that far ahead.
Suneo: Yeah, seriously.
Nobita: Hey! Don't badmouth Doraemon!
Shizuka: You two idiots, Doraemon's not even back yet.
Gian: Ah, sorry Nobita! I didn't an it.
Suneo: Yeah, sorry...
Nobita: Whatever, it's fine...
Dorami: Ahem! Anyway, let's get moving!
Due to the containnt threat, everyone had gathered at Nobita's house.
Of course, the excuse was "studying"—they were doing howork while monitoring the situation on the screen.
"Alright, I'll remove your shadows now."
Dorami pulled a pair of shadow-cutting scissors from her pocket.
With a few snips, she cut away the shadows of the four kids.
"Okay! Now let's transform into Digimon!" Gian shouted, raising his Digivice with flair.
"Yeah!" the others responded eagerly.
They each transford into their Digimon forms:
ramon, Angewomon, Elecmon, and Kumamon.
The four Digimon stood proudly in the room.
"But we have to act fast. If too much ti passes, shadows might rebel and try to replace their owners."
Dorami warned.
"To be safe, I'll just store your shadows in my pocket."
Without waiting, she stuffed all four shadows into her pocket—ignoring their resistance entirely.
Then she pulled out the Anywhere Door and stepped through to the Shadow Fiend's location.
Thanks to the ti stop, the Fiend was still in its divided smoky form.
It was only one centiter away from touching its victims.
"Let's move them out of range!"
Dorami commanded.
The team quickly relocated every target the smoke tendrils were reaching for.
"Clear a wide space!" Dorami continued.
They moved everyone nearby, evacuating the entire street.
"Say, does the Shadow Fiend still have any offensive power right now?" Nobita asked, curiously staring at the smoke.
"Probably not... Ti is frozen," Suneo guessed.
"I'll try sothing."
Nobita picked up a rock and tossed it into the smoke.
But the stone never ca back out.
Everyone stared in shock.
Nobita then tried using a fire attack on it.
But when the flas—far larger than the smoke—touched it, they too vanished instantly!
"No way! Ti is frozen, and the Shadow Fiend still retains its deadly properties?!"
Dorami exclaid in shock.
