Chapter 1 - Chapter 1:A Gadget that shouldn't exist

The sky cracked open.

A streak of blue light tore across the air before slamming into the ground with a deafening blast. Dust and wind exploded outward, shaking everything nearby.

Doraemon stumbled back, barely keeping his balance.

"…You again," he said, voice tight.

From the smoke, a figure stepped forward.

Tall. Calm. Smiling.

In his hand—

a strange device glowed with a dark, pulsing light.

"You're late, Doraemon," the man said casually. "I was starting to think you gave up."

Nobita, standing behind doraemon

, trembled.

"W-Who is that…?"

Doraemon didn't answer. His eyes were locked on the device.

"That gadget…" his voice dropped,

"You shouldn't have that."

The man tilted his head, amused.

"Why not?" he said. "It's perfect."

He raised the device slightly.

"After all… fear is the strongest force in any era."

Doraemon's expression hardened.

"Give it back."

For a moment, silence filled the air.

Then—

Doraemon lunged forward.

The man didn't move.

Instead, he smiled and was starting to use the weapon.

But doraemon used his ultimate gadget "Time stop watch".

Time got froze no one was able to move doraemon slowly came closer to the man.

The man couldn't do anything.

"…What did you do…?" he forced out.

Doraemon had come very close to the man.

But the man had no fear in him instead he was laughing menacingly.

"Haha.. do you think stopping time would stop me?." The man started to move like nothing happened but the time was still frozen.

Doraemon felt fear inside him for the first time he silghtly trembled and asked "How did you do it no one can move if i paused the time except me?"

The man grinned and said"Did you forget which gadget i am using the strongest gadget ever made in history. "

" Don't tell me you are using Abyss? " doraemon asked while having fear in him.

"But how did you get it there is no way a lowly thief like you can have that gadget?"

The man smiled borader "you are hurting my feeling you know?" and about how i got this gadget why should i tell you? "

Though i am sure you know it's powers but i won't loose anything about bragging it works--

"Simple," he said. "I reminded your body what fear feels like."

He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a wishper.

"And it obeyed."

Doraemon gritted his teeth.

His body trembled—but this time, not from fear.

With effort, he forced his arm to move.

"Not… happening…"

With a burst of strength, Doraemon reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gadget.

"Let's see how you handle this!"

He activated it—

A blinding flash erupted between them.

BOOM.

The ground shook as both forces collided.

The device in the man's hand flickered violently.

Cracks of energy spread across it.

"…Tch."

For the first time, the man's expression changed.

Unstable energy surged outward—

—and the gadget slipped from his hand.

"No my only hope from my messed life is you"

It shot into the air, spinning wildly.

Then—

it vanished.

Doraemon dropped to one knee, breathing heavily.

Nobita collapsed behind him.

"…Where did it go…?" Nobita whispered.

The man slowly straightened.

His smile returned—but colder now.

"…You've ruined everything but this

is interesting."

He turned away.

"I'll get it back."

And just like that—

he disappeared.

Far away…

In a quiet street—

A small object fell from the sky.

thud.

A boy looked down at it.

"…Eh?"

He picked it up, turning it in his hands.

A button blinked softly.

Shinchan grinned.

"Hehe… looks fun."

His finger moved toward the button.

A boy same age as him came closer to him and asked him"hey shinchan what are you doing? What is that thing? Don't you know we shouldn't touch unknown things? "

Shinchan made a funny expression on his face and Shinchan slowly crawled over behind him like a sneaky cat.

Kazama felt a weird presence.

"Shinchan… what are you doing?"

Before he could turn fully—

PFFFFF!

Shinchan blew a sharp puff of air right into Kazama's ear.

Kazama jolted up instantly.

"YAAAH! Shinchan!!"

Shinchan blinked innocently. "Huh? I was just testing if your ear is a balloon~"

Kazama's face turned red. "Ears are NOT balloons you idiot!!"

Shinchan tilted his head. "Really? Because yours sounded empty."

Kazama ignored shinchan babling and asked him what he was gonna do with the thing.

Shinchan replied "it glows very beautiful i wonder how will nanako did react with this when i perform my buri buri zaimon dance with this?"

"Hey Kazama-kun… do you want to see my Buri Buri Zaemon dance too?"

Kazama froze. "N-no! I don't want anything from you!"

But Shinchan had already started.

He bent his knees, struck a heroic pose, and began his ridiculous little chant:

"Buri Buri Buri Buri Zaemon~!"

"" Eh.. Its already oretty late we should go home shinchan. "

Shinchan suddenly appeared right in front of him like a ghost.

"Go home? But Kazama-kun, home is just a place… friendship is eternal~"

Kazama's eye twitched.

"Don't start philosophical nonsense at this hour."

Shinchan tilted his head. "Then let's race home!

Loser has to do Buri Buri Zaemon dance in front of their parents!"

Kazama instantly backed away. "I am NOT accepting that rule!"

Shinchan grinned. "Too late! It's already decided in my heart!"

"See you tomorrow, Kazama-kun! I'll bring new ear-blowing techniques!"

Meanwhile-

At another side doraemon having crisis of fear"No no it can't happen it can't be we have to find that gadget before that man finds the abyss"

Nobita putting a hand on doraemon's shoulder "why are you having so much tension is that gadget so dangerous? "

Doraemon replied him trembling"you don't know nobita that gadget can destroy the entire timeline with a single button. We have to find that gadget before that man finds it. "

" Then why don't you use your own gadgets to find the gadget that has been lost"nobita siggestedwhile smirking.

"Yeah you are right nobita why didn't i thought of that you truly are a genius when it comes to gadgets "doraemon's fear has been calmed down now a little.

He slipped his hand inside.

He frowned.

"…Huh?"

He tried again, digging deeper.

"…Wait."

He pulled his hand out, looked at the pocket, and tried again—this time more seriously.

"Strange… I can't feel anything."

Nobita blinked.

"What do you mean you can't feel anything?! That's your entire job!!"

Doraemon started sweating a little. "I know! I know! This has never happened before!"

Doraemon stepped back. His expression turned serious for the first time.

"…That man."

".. He jammed my pocket system."
