Doraemon, Shizuka, Suneo and Gigante see how at the bottom of the rocky dungeon Nobita was locked in a cage and crying. For now the boss of the dungeon had not made his appearance

-We must go down to rescue Nobita!- Says the girl with the pigtails

-I know but we must do it according to the plan. If there really is a general of the Demon King guarding here, we must be careful. While you distract him, I will fly to the cage to get Nobita out of there.- Mention the blue cat and turn to see Suneo -When I get him out of there we need you to shoot one of your fiery arrows to cause a distraction and flee from here -

Suneo just looked at Nobita in the cage while he narrowed his eyes, he was suspicious.

-SUNEO!- Giant shouts so that the elf boy reacts -Didn't you hear?! We need you to use your arrows to distract the general and flee with Nobita when we have him!-

-Uh? Yeah, yeah, yes I heard, I'm not deaf- says the dwarf boy -It's just that there is something that caught my attention, let's go for the fool now!-

Suneo says that and begins to go down with the rest while he still had his doubtful look -I don't know if I saw wrong but, the other 3 are so engrossed in recovering Nobita that they haven't realized- The boy thinks as he went down the slope

The four of them go down to the base at the end of the dungeon and slowly approach the cage. Nobita realizes this and smiles crying.

-Doraemon, you came to save me, what a joy!- The silly boy mentions excitedly and sees the other three. -You guys are here too.-

-Of course, as soon as we knew what happened we came to this world to save you, I'm glad that we finally found you! -Shizuka says happy to see her friend again.

Nobita sees Shizuka for a while but immediately turns around a little indifferent to seeing Doraemon, which Suneo also notices.

-I'm glad you're safe Nobita, well, you're hurt but you're in one piece!- Doraemon says -Come on, let's go home-

-NOT SO FAST WIND WIZARD!-

A large humanoid gray wolf in a knight's outfit was also at the top end of the dungeon. He was Rioku, one of the Demon King's generals. He was smiling with a mischievous smile showing his canine fangs.

-That child belongs to me- says the canine, crossing his arms.

-Are you Devan?! The one who tortured Nobita through his dreams?!- Shizuka mentions to which Rioku is offended.

-Don't compare me to that lightning rod, little girl! I'm Rioku, the Wind General of the Demon King!- Says the canine while his token appeared in his head

/Rioku. Third general of the Demon King. Anthropomorphic Wolf. Level 115. Rank S. Element: Wind. Gentleman. Affinity: Armed Sword. Ability: Pack; He is capable of being able to summon and control other canine anthropomorphic beings that are close to his location and that are below his range to fight for him without the need for a summoning spell./

The wolf takes a deep breath and is confused. -This is rare. I smell a cat here, but I only see three children of different species and an ugly and chubby blue raccoon.-

-I'M NOT A RACCOON, I'M A CAT AND MY NAME IS DORAEMON!- Doraemon mentions annoyed because he seriously hated being compared to a raccoon.

-Really?!- The canine jumps and with the power of the wind on his feet he falls to the ground without getting hurt, remaining next to the cage making a grand entrance. -Well, I have very bad news for you, "Goraemon." I HATE CATS- The canine says that with anger.

-Normal, anthropomorphic, semi-human cats. I come from a town of wolf bandits where we hate cats.- The canine sees Doraemon's token and is outraged. -And that you are from the same element as me, DISGUSTS me-

-Please, don't do anything to my friend- says the boy with glasses tearing up.

-Silence slave, remember your place!- Rioku shouts as he kicks the cage, and that makes Nobita upset by throwing a look of hatred at the canine general.

-Release Nobita immediately!- Doraemon says, taking out his staff from his pocket, to which the other guys also take out their weapons.

-No filthy cat tells me what to do! What's more, the Demon King's order is to keep the boy alive until the new 100 Years War.- Rioku looks maliciously at Doraemon and takes out his knight's armed sword -But he didn't say anything about keeping his friends alive. I'll start with you Goraemon!-

-I'm Doraemon, not Goraemon!- The cosmic cat turns to look at the guys -Now, according to plan!-

Doraemon takes out the capcopter and flies away while Shizuka, Giant and Suneo try as much as they can to distract Rioku.

The blue cat quickly flies around the battle and reaches the cage, which Rioku notices but still ignores with a smile.

-I don't care if you free him from there, my levels crush your miserable bodies!- With his sword he makes a slash of wind that the guys barely manage to dodge, except for Giant, who ends up against the wall when the attack narrowly misses for a bit.

-Takeshi!- Shizuka shouts and runs towards the robust man. With his orb she uses a water healing spell that he was able to learn thanks to leveling up, while Suneo takes the lead to cover her.

-That guy is a bully!- Giant exclaims annoyed.

-It's curious who mentions it- Suneo says indifferently.

-DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?!- The robust man shouts.

-I-I-I said it's a relief that Shizuka learned that healing magic!- The nervous dwarf replies.

-Nobita!- Doraemon shouts as he lands and uses a little magic from his staff to force the cage door and open it -You're safe now!-

Nobita comes out of the cage and runs to hug Doraemon while he hugs him back.

-Thank you very much for saving me, I missed you a lot!- The silly boy says happily hugging the blue cat.

-I missed you a lot too Nobita, the Demon King isn't going to torture you anymore! Everything will end soon-

The blue cat says that happily while the boy with glasses looks at him with a smile while he slowly puts his hand in his shorts pocket.

Doraemon was so focused on getting his friend to safety, that he didn't realize that out of nowhere, a fire arrow was shot and hit "Nobita" in his hand, only grazing him and causing a burn wound.

-NOBITA!- The blue cat turns around and sees that it was Suneo who had shot the arrow, while the others stare stunned by the elf's recent action.

-I still can't control these arrows well, oh man- Suneo complains with his bow in his hand.

-What are you doing Suneo?!- The robust man demands angrily.

-I just prevented Doraemon from getting hurt because he was distracted-

The dwarf boy points to the ground, his companions look at where he pointed and there was a kunai lying near Nobita's feet.

-Nobita?- The scared cat looks at his friend who just picks up the kunai without saying anything and with a look of sadness. -You tried to...-

-HA HA HA! How do you feel, blue cat?! Tell me! How does it feel that your best friend wanted to kill you while you were vulnerable?!- The canine shouts, putting away his sword and mocking.

-Surely it must be something from the slavery collar on his neck that is forcing him to want to hurt Doraemon-

Rioku looks askance at Shizuka and smiles -But of course! That boy has been busy while he was with us! That weak boy's hands are stained with the blood of other adventurers who fell because of us. What better mental torture than to force him to eliminate others, especially since he may not be able to stop himself because he is our slave!-

-No, it can't be- Shizuka says, covering her mouth sadly. -They have forced him to do something so cruel and surely he must be suffering for not being able to avoid it-

-No, it's not like that-

Everyone looks at Suneo who was still looking seriously at Nobita and angrily scolds his team.

-Oh, come on! Am I seriously the only one who noticed this?! That's NOT Nobita over there!-

Doraemon, Shizuka and Giant startle when they hear the elf boy. How come that child wasn't Nobita? So...Who was he?
