"Who's there?!"
Gian tried to muster his courage, his voice trembling as he shouted.
"I'm here to help you. If you want to survive, follow me."
"Yes, we have comrades nearby. It's safe."
"We can protect you."
Several more voices echoed from behind, sounding genuinely concerned about Nobita and his two companions.
In this strange, monster-filled environment, hearing such kind human voices immediately made Nobita and his friends feel at ease.
"Really? Can you help us?" Nobita asked with a smile.
"Yes, we can help you. Hurry over; our base is nearby," the voice urged them.
"Alright!"
Hearing this, the three let down their guard and ran toward the source of the voices, hoping to see familiar human faces.
"Great! Thank you for being willing to help us!"
However, as they reached the corner, their expressions froze in shock.
Instead of seeing humans, they were confronted by several creatures with blood-red bodies, crawling on all fours, their mouths resembling that of a crocodile.
At their feet lay the remains of brutally dismembered humans.
These creatures were Mimic Beasts!
"No need to thank us. We should be thanking you for willingly coming up to feed us."
The creatures spoke in human voices, mocking them as they opened their jaws wide.
"Ahhh!!"
The horrifying sight caused the three to scream in terror. They quickly turned and ran, narrowly avoiding the creatures' attacks due to their small size as children.
"Why is this happening? Why are there monsters?"
"Mommy!!"
Screaming, the three children ran as fast as they could, terrified of being caught by the monsters.
But their speed was no match for the Mimic Beasts.
In the blink of an eye, the Mimic Beasts, using their astonishing speed, caught up to the children, trapping them with no escape route in sight!
"Ahhh!!"
Seeing no way out, the three huddled together, their faces filled with fear, crying for their mothers.
They had no idea what to do.
"Three kids, not much meat. Share sparingly."
"Hehe, whoever bites first gets it!"
The Mimic Beasts argued amongst themselves, and then leaped at the three children to feast on them.
"Interference initiated."
At that critical moment, an electronic voice rang out.
A yellow beam of light shot toward the children, creating a protective barrier around them.
Then a piercing noise filled the air.
"Ahhh!!"
The Mimic Beasts, upon hearing the sound, screamed in agony, covering their ears like humans, writhing on the ground in pain.
The next moment, a giant bat appeared above them.
A figure jumped down from above.
Looking closely, it was none other than Batman, transformed into Kamen Rider Knight!
Batman landed swiftly and swung his long sword, delivering a flurry of slashes that decapitated the Mimic Beasts in an instant.
"Ahh!"
The Darkwing Bat immediately swooped down to devour the fresh corpses.
"Are you all okay?" Batman ignored Darkwing Bat, turning to check on the three kids, who were shielded by the yellow barrier and unaffected by the piercing soundwaves.
He raised his yellow Power Ring and recalled the barrier.
"This ring is truly incredible. It can handle anything," Batman said, gazing at the yellow ring on his hand.
Earlier, he had been testing it, and sure enough, he could create anything he imagined with the light. It was a truly unbelievable artifact.
"Is this alien technology?"
Batman couldn't help but think deeply. If such powerful technology existed, what would happen if an advanced alien race invaded Earth one day?
"Um, excuse me, who are you?" Shizuka asked cautiously, breaking Batman's train of thought.
"Hm?"
Batman snapped out of it, looking at the three kids.
"You three!" Batman immediately recognized them as the ones who had entered the Ikea store from Doraemon's world.
If they were here, it must mean...
"Nobita! Gian! Shizuka!"
Just then, a voice familiar to the children rang out.
It was Doraemon, flying down from the night sky with the Mini Adventure Team. Seeing Nobita and his friends safe, Doraemon couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Doraemon!"
The three children, upon seeing Doraemon, jumped up and down with excitement, unable to hide their joy, even shedding tears of happiness.
"Doraemon, you're finally here!"
"Sniff! I was so scared."
"My best friend, you're always the most reliable!"
"Alright, alright, as long as you're safe," Doraemon said, relieved. He patted their heads to comfort them.
"Are you Doraemon?" Batman stepped forward, unable to resist asking.
He had only seen Doraemon through screens before, and now, finally seeing him in person, he couldn't help but feel intrigued.
"Wait, are you Batman?" Doraemon was just as surprised, recognizing Batman and not expecting to meet someone from another universe.
"Huh? Doraemon, do you know him?" Gian asked curiously.
"Not exactly," Doraemon thought for a moment, unsure of how to explain.
Viewers outside the screen were equally astonished by the encounter between Doraemon and Batman.
This Ikea store could really connect different universes.
Tony Stark: "I knew it! This store can actually let people from different universes meet. This Batman kid is so lucky to see Doraemon!"
Diana: "Does that mean there could be trades?"
Luffy: "So jealous! I also want to meet Doraemon and trade for some of his gadgets."
Tsunade: "Jiraiya, have you reached the Sand Village yet? Can you go into the store and find Doraemon?"
Jiraiya: "I just got here, but I need to handle these Sand Village ninjas first to avoid any major conflict."
Jiraiya smiled wryly, glancing around at the crowd of Sand ninjas staring intently at him.
