On a high mountain where the sky is always at night, in a dark and gloomy castle, the Wicked Witch of the West stood in the great hall with a cauldron bubbling and waiting for her packages to arrive.
Finally the winged monkeys arrive with the newly captured pair and leave both Nobita and Doraemon in front of the witch sitting on the ground, who snaps her fingers bringing in a pair of Winkies, soldiers with large gray woolly hats with a Gray armor with red details, with large spears and with green skin and a large nose. The witch had a large army of these, and let's not forget the flock of flying monkeys in her service that fly over them.
The Winkies who answered the witch's call take out a pair of ropes and tie the prisoners with their hands behind their backs and then stand back while watching them. -Well well! It seems that you are finally mine, you pair of silly children!- The witch says victoriously.
-Let us go!- Doraemon exclaims angrily, to which a Winkie grabs him by the ropes that had him unprotected and begins to bring him closer to the sticky, boiling green cauldron and keeps him on top of it.
Nobita looks at that worried for his friend -What do you think you're doing?!-
-I was craving a little bit of, I don't know... Raccoon stew. HAHAHAHAHA!- The witch laughs evilly.
-I TOLD YOU THAT I'M NOT A RACCOON, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A STEW!- Claims the blue cat, kicking in fear because he felt the heat of the boiling cauldron.
-Don't do it! You can't boil my best friend! Leave him go!- Nobita shouts as he begins to tear up.
-I said I would take care of you two, and I'll start with your friend first!- What the evil witch says makes Nobita try to stand up but the winkie who was behind him prevents him. -If you don't want me to turn your weird "cat" into my dinner, you know what I want in return, child- says the witch to which Nobita looks at the shoes and just sighs sadly.
-O-okay, keep the shoes, but don't hurt Doraemon-
-Nobita- Doraemon looks at his friend with a sad look
-Do you see that it was easy to just hand me the shoes? Anyway, raccoons give me indigestion- says the witch in a mocking way to make Doraemon upset by making him turn red.
-UGH, I'M NOT A RACCOON, INSISTENT! AND STAY AWAY FROM NOBITA, IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON HIM, I SWEAR THAT...!-
The Winkie locks Doraemon in a cage, puts him on the ground and sends him to a corner with his foot so that he doesn't get in the way. There was a hole through which the flying monkeys he was carrying outside the castle passed through. -Doraemon!- The silly boy shouts, looking at the fact that they had put him in a cage.
-There you stay until I know how I will get rid of you- The witch approaches the boy and kneels -And now you, first I'll take off MY ruby shoes and then I'll turn you into a frog, frog legs are very nutritious. HA HA HA!-
Nobita's face turns blue with fear just hearing that -I-isn't this supposed to be a safe simulator?! This witch is going to eat me!- He thinks while the witch brings her hands closer to one of his feet and grabs one of the ruby shoes.
But when the evil witch tried to take one of them from him, sparks began to come out but they didn't release from the boy's foot, even one Winkie tried to take it away by pulling on his foot while another grabbed Nobita by the shoulders. Nothing, that makes the witch frustrated by the situation. -It doesn't work and only sparks come out! Damn!- Says the witch while she bites one of the nails on her hands out of rage.
The boy with the glasses begins to think about that kiss on the cheek that he received from Fairy Shizuka -Surely that is protecting me in some way, thank goodness. Like the real Shizuka, she is also very good- He smiles blushing while he thinks about that and the kiss, but the villainess didn't understand that face.
-Surely you must be protected by magic and I can't take off your shoes in the traditional way. Well, then I have no choice, I'll use something lethal to end your life so that the shoes can be free.- Nobita's smile disappears when the Wicked Witch of the West mentions that, making a large hourglass appear, the contents of which begin to fall slowly while an arrow and a bow appear levitating in front of the boy, making him jump again.
-Look closely brat, this bow is pointing the arrow right at your chest. When the last grain of sand falls, this will automatically fire hitting whatever is in front of it, so it will hit you right in the heart, finishing you off once and for all. And then the ruby shoes will be mine once you breathe your last breath! You won't be able to do anything with your hands tied and the Winkie preventing you from moving.I would kill you quickly but it's more fun to see how you suffer from the suspense. So look at the hourglass, because that will be the time you have left to live! HA HA HA HA HA HA!-
Nobita looks at the hourglass and then at the arrow pointing at his chest, and can only cry softly while the witch only laughs at him. Doraemon sees this from afar and insistently manages to free himself from the ropes thanks to the fact that the Winkie who tied him didn't do it well.
-Nobita will die if I don't do something, this was supposed to be a safe simulator but everything is getting worse.- Doraemon looks at his pocket doubtfully -I could use the hoop-tunnel to get out of here and the air cannon to free him and escape using the hopters. But that would cause the simulator to restart and we would have to do everything again. And I don't think Nobita wants to repeat even this scenario. But if I don't...-
The blue cat once again gives up on using the gadgets and LITERALLY uses his head to attack the bars of the cage, and since his steel head was very hard, he was able to break one side of the cage. He looks back for a moment as he sees Nobita that he was sad waiting for the end of him. -Don't worry Nobita, I'll be back with help-
Doraemon takes advantage of the hole next to him to be able to get outside and using a vine that grew down from the castle, although then it breaks and the cat lands abruptly, alerting one of the Winkies who was by the window while he was there. He runs away from the castle. -Mistress, the strange cat escaped and is fleeing the castle!-
The Witch sits on a large chair that she had summoned to wait for the shoes -It doesn't matter, let him go, I'm going to get what I really want- she then looks at Nobita -Did you hear that kid? Your friend abandoned you to save himself! HAHAHA!-
-Doraemon would never abandon me, I know he will come back to save me, he is my best friend and I trust him!- Nobita says upset, tearing up.
The Wicked Witch makes a disgusted face -Ugh, that thing you call "friendship" disgusts me. Anyway, when he returns my troops will be waiting to stop him, so he won't be there in time to save you anyway, you silly boy-
Meanwhile, Scarecrow Dekisugi, Tin Gian and Lion Suneo go deeper into the forest to go to the witch's castle, but they didn't know exactly where, that the Tin Boy was starting to get annoyed.
-WHERE IS THAT CASTLE?! We have walked for a long time and I have only seen withered trees and the dark sky!- The sturdy tin boy crosses his arms in annoyance.
-Yeah, I already think that these trees look ugly at me because they are so strange!- Says Suneo, the kitten, trembling looking at the trees.
-Let's calm down, I know that we will be able to orient ourselves well and find the way, we have to do it for Nobita and Doraemon- Says the straw boy
But just when it seemed like they were at a dead end, Doraemon comes running exhausted.
-I finally found you!- Doraemon takes a deep breath from having run so much and approaches the trio.
-Wow, you escaped!- The kitten says in amazement. -And Nobita?-
Doraemon finally calms down -Actually I came to look for you, the Witch is going to kill him to take the shoes, we have to save him!- The other three startle
-That's terrible, we must save our friend!- Says the straw boy
-Will she finish him?! Not if I can teach them a lesson first for trying!- Exclaims Tin Gian
-And how will we get in without the monkeys attacking us? Surely there are guards there too- Lion Suneo says worriedly.
-And there are, but that's not why we're going to let her get away with it, Nobita's time is running out and if that happens...- The robot just turns pale just imagining the boy being wounded by an arrow, or worse.
Straw Dekisugi scratches his head for a while and is startled -I think... I think I might know how to infiltrate us-
In the castle, the boy with the glasses looks everywhere while the witch was sleeping for a moment in her chair just like the Winkies who fell asleep standing up, he gets up slowly since even with his arms tied behind his back, his legs were free.
Carefully and trying not to make noise he walks slowly towards the stairs to escape. -Almost there- Thinks the raven man, sweating with nerves and approaching the stairs -Almost theeeeere- Unfortunately, Nobita is surprised by the flying monkeys waking up everyone while they catch him again and make him sit back in his place.
-Did you seriously think you were going to escape while I was sleeping?! You are a stupid child!- Go to the Winkie who was watching him -And you are useless! Don't fall asleep again, you're lucky the monkeys stopped the boy from escaping, at least tie his legs so he won't escape again!-
-E-excuse me, mistress, immediately- The Winkie takes out more ropes and ties Nobita's legs so that he can't even get up, leaving him sitting so that the arrow can hit him in the chest.
The boy just tears up again -Oh my- he says, sighing and looking at the hourglass that was already halfway over.
The quartet manages to reach the castle of the Witch of the West and they see that four winkies who were about to enter the castle with the others take the opportunity to approach them from behind and pull them towards some rocks to knock them out. In a while, the boys were wearing the Winkies' clothes and quickly lined up with the others to finally enter the castle. -Wow, it really worked- Tin Gian says quietly.
-Well done- Doraemon says looking at the straw boy.
-It took me a lot to think of this idea, but it was really worth it if we saved Nobita this way- Scarecrow Dekisugi smiles.
-Now let's take the opportunity to go up to where he is- says Lion Suneo and the 4 slowly separate from the group to go up the stairs where the door to the main room was, which had been locked by the Winkie recently to prevent another escape attempt, the 4 take off their costumes and Tin Gian takes out his axe.
Inside it, the witch sees how the sand in the clock was already in the last grains while she rubbed her hands from waiting and smiling. -It's almost time. Finally the ruby slippers will be mine, MINE!- The witch shouts with an air of victory while Nobita watched the grains fall with a panicked face and tearing hard.
-So... Someone... help me...- The boy was only paralyzed by the fear of being shot with arrows and could only scream -DORAEMON!-
At that moment Tin Gian breaks the door with his ax and tackles the Winkie who was guarding the silly boy. The monkeys were going to intervene but Straw Dekisugi uses a kitchen knife that was on a nearby table to throw her at the rope holding a large chandelier that falls on top of the monkeys while they run towards Nobita.
-You?!- The witch shouts as the last grain of sand was about to fall, Doraemon runs along with Suneo the lion and they get Nobita out of there just in time before the arrow hits him, it ends right in the wall because his victim was removed from there. Tin Gian takes the opportunity to throw the large hourglass so that it breaks, making the witch retreat to avoid the impact.
-Doraemon, guys! Thank you!- Nobita says, tearing up while Straw Dekisugi unties his legs and arms. When he finishes, the boy with glasses throws himself towards the blue cat, hugging him while he cries in relief -I knew you weren't going to abandon me!-
-Of course I wasn't going to leave you here to die, I just needed a little help- Doraemon says happily as he hugs the boy.
-Don't thank us, you wanted to stay to help us when we were in trouble with the flying monkeys, it's the least we could do- Says the straw boy and Tin Gian shows his thumbs up smiling.
-Yeah, you're welcome, now let's go, here come the monkeys and the guards!- Lion Suneo points out how the flying monkeys were flying towards them.
The 5 run and go down the stairs to leave the castle. A Winkie happened to be carrying a bucket of water and a rag to clean the entrance as he sighs tiredly. At the same time the boys were about to leave through the main door, but the Winkies and the monkeys block the entrance, they turn around and see the witch in front of them who was walking towards them with her broom in her hand.
-Enough of the meaningless nonsense, it's time to finally end this and take what belongs to me- says the witch, looking at the ruby shoes.
