The villains' castle stood far away, dark and silent, like it was watching the world. Inside the massive hall, five villains gathered around their leader. The air felt heavy, filled with anger and unfinished battles.
Lord Umbra sat calmly on his throne.
"Speak," he said. "Tell me about the ones who stand against us."
Glacira stepped forward, her cold eyes sharp."Kazama," she said. "Smart. Calm. Dangerous. Even without his powers, his mind is a weapon. He plans every move. If his powers return, he will be a problem."
Voltazo laughed darkly."Masao looks weak, but he isn't. When he had strength powers, he shocked everyone. Even now, he hides courage behind fear. That kind of heart is annoying."
Thornfang clenched his fists."Nene. Loud. Fearless. She never backs down. When her powers return, her voice alone can destroy armies. I hate that confidence."
Jokerbane tilted his head and smiled."And Bo-chan… silent, strange, unpredictable. He watches everything. His calmness scares me more than shouting heroes."
The villains growled in agreement.
Then the hall went silent.
Umbra slowly stood up.
"And Shinchan," he said quietly.
Everyone turned.
"He is careless, foolish, and laughs in danger," Umbra continued. "But that is exactly why he is dangerous. Even without powers, he never gives up. When his strength returns, he will fight without fear."
Umbra's eyes darkened.
"He is very strong."
All the villains nodded together.
"You are right, Umbra," Glacira said."Shinchan is our biggest enemy," Voltazo added."Yes," Thornfang growled."He must be stopped," Jokerbane smiled.
The decision was clear.
The Promise at Home
Shinchan, Kazama, Nene, Masao, and Bo-chan stood quietly. They were normal now—no powers, no strength, no special abilities.
Just five Commoners with courage.
Hiroshi looked at Shinchan seriously."You're going somewhere dangerous, aren't you?"
Misae held Himawari close."Please come back safely… and bring Ai-chan home."
Shinta jumped forward."I want to come too! I'll fight them!"
Shinchan placed a hand on his head."No, Shinta. This place is not for kids."
Himawari frowned."I want to go with you."
Kazama shook his head gently."We can't risk you."
Shinchan looked at everyone and spoke honestly.
"Our powers are gone. We don't know when they'll return. But we will still go. We promise—we'll come back safely, with Ai-chan. Please wait for us."
Hiroshi nodded slowly."We'll wait."
The door closed behind them.
The Journey Begins
The path grew darker as they walked. The air felt strange, like something was watching them.
Masao whispered,"What if our powers don't come back?"
Nene clenched her fists."Then we fight without them."
Bo-chan nodded."…Together."
Finally, they reached the villains' place.
From outside, it looked terrifying—dark walls, sharp towers, and a heavy silence.
Shinchan gulped."Yep… villain vibes."
They stepped inside.
And froze.
Inside, the place was beautiful—bright walls, shining floors, peaceful music.
Kazama frowned."This is wrong."
Shinchan slowly reached for the door of the main villa.
"Stay alert."
The door opened—
BOOOOOOM!
A giant monster appeared, releasing a powerful wind blast.
"AAAAAA!"
All five were thrown back violently across the floor.
The monster roared, shaking the walls.
Shinchan pushed himself up, breathing hard.
"…Guess they were waiting for us."
