It was midnight and the star shower began to take center stage in the night sky, an impressive spectacle, especially if you see it from a high point like the mountain behind the school. Among the stars that paraded across the sky, one of them fell fleetingly right near where the thousand-year-old tree was, a huge tree known by the inhabitants of that city because, as its name says, it's very old.
The star that had fallen there was much smaller than the others, a star that emitted a curious violet light that blinked repeatedly, as if it wanted to be found. A couple of minutes after that happened, a pink door appeared out of nowhere at the base of the mountain, it immediately opened to reveal Doraemon and Nobita, who used one of the gadgets of the future to reach the mountain in an instant.
The silly boy was still in his pajamas but put on his shoes to be able to go outside with his friend, both of them being stunned by the star shower. "Wow, that's impressive!" the boy says out loud.
Doraemon puts the Anywhere Door in his pocket, although he was confused, he had no idea what was going on and why his human friend wanted to go there, he only said something about (meeting her), but Nobita's strange behavior had to do with that dream, so to find answers he had to follow his story. "How do you know who you're looking for is here? Better said. How do we know what we're looking for?"
"She told me in a dream to find her, she has to be the only platinum-haired person in Tokyo, and I think the mountain looked like the place I was in the dream. We have to go up." The boy points up to start climbing, Doraemon just sighs but he had to play along, even he seems to be curious about it, of course, two children being careful at midnight on a dark mountain was never too much.
Both of them started to climb while little by little the rain of stars finished its act of appearance, Nobita's ardent spirit to find the answer to what he had dreamed was replaced by the tiredness of the walk, once again, his reputation as the weakest and slowest of the class was present when he sits on the grass where higher up there was a cave almost in sight "I can't go on anymore, I'm tired"
As the boy rested on the grass, to his bad luck, the duo of pale men who were previously hiding in a cave immediately came out "The rain of stars is finally over, now we can do our job" Demetrius says.
"Yeah but, we have a couple of unwanted snacks here" Echo points out as Doraemon approaches Nobita while sighing tiredly. "A blue raccoon and a human child at this hour?"
Demetrius smiles as he licks his lips "Well, a midnight snack wouldn't be bad before going for her, animal blood isn't that good or nutritious, but I want to know what a blue raccoon tastes like"
Doraemon makes an irritated face, although he didn't hear them call him a raccoon, he felt a disturbance that bothered him without knowing why, although he then looks at Nobita "Did the spark of curiosity go out so quickly? If you want, we can go back home, being outside at this time and with everything that has happened is not good, maybe it was just a dream and nothing more"
"We can't! We have to find her, I need to know why I dreamed about her, I know it's real, I feel it inside me"
When Nobita gets up, he could barely notice a purple glow near the ancient tree, although as they were still far down the mountain, the flickering light was barely noticeable, but the boy had a hunch that it was THAT.
"I think I know that..."
The boy doesn't finish his sentence when he hears the sound of something hitting metal, when he turns around he turns pale when he sees how one of the members of Scarlet Moon tried from behind to bite Doraemon with his fangs on the head but couldn't do it "V-v-v-v-v-va..." He says scared while pointing at his friend.
"I felt something but..." Doraemon looks at Nobita scared "What?" When he slowly looks up he sees Demetrius holding his head getting the same reaction as Nobita "V-v-v-v-v-va..."
His partner Echo approaches in the form of a bat and then transforms into his normal version but with black bat wings on his back, it seems that they use them when flying
"Da tu ce faci?! Trebuie să-i scurgi sângele!" ("What are you doing?! Drain its blood!")
"Încerc, dar chestia asta e forarte încăpățânată, nici nu știu dacă are gât, e minuscul, de aceea am încercat să-l scurgi prin cap, dar nu merge!" ("I try but this thing is so big headed, I don't even know if it has a neck, it's tiny, that's why I tried to drain it through its head but it doesn't work!") Demetrius says
"Echo, nu suntem în Amarant, amintiți-vă că trebuie să ne adaptăm limbajul la mediul în care ne aflăm" ("Echo, we're not in Amarant, remember that we have to adapt our language to the environment we're in")
"Oh, e adevărat, cu această surpriză am uitat" ("Oh, that's right, with this surprise I forgot") Echo coughs a little as he lands hiding his bat wings and sighs "But you forgot too"
"Anyway, I don't think this blue raccoon has any blood!" Demetrius while tapping Doraemon's head a little who went from fear to rage in a second
"I'M NOT A RACCOON, I'M A ROBOT CAT!" After screaming, the robot returns to terrified mode "Uh..."
"VAMPIRES!" Nobita screams terrified, he didn't know whether to be happy because he was right or terrified because he was in danger.
"Robot? Ugh, it's not food. What a waste of time!" Demetrius says, releasing Doraemon as he runs towards Nobita, standing in front of him to protect him. "But the boy is still there. We'll drain him and then destroy the robot!"
"You already tried to drain the robot. You lost your turn. It's my turn to drain the boy!"
"D-D-D-D-D-Doraemon!" Nobita tries to hide from the vampires' gaze.
The blue cat was scared, just like the boy, but he gets startled. "I know!" Doraemon takes out 2 takecopters and gives one to the boy. "When I give you the signal, fly." The vampires rush towards the pair, but the robot takes out one of the pencil crosses that Nobita made from his pocket, causing them to retreat in fear.
"Damn it, get that out of my sight!" One of the vampires shouts as they both kneel down in fear.
"Oh look, it's true that crosses scare them just like me when Gian threatens to hit me" Nobita says surprised but then he shouts angrily "DID YOU SEE?! I TOLD YOU THAT VAMPIRES DO EXIST, YOU ALL OWE ME AN APOLOGY!"
"Now isn't the time! Thank goodness you thought of doing these things with pencils. Let's take advantage of the fact that they are weakened for a while to escape, FLY!" At Doraemon's signal, they both put on their copters and fly away from the mountain. The blue one's idea was to go home and close the windows so that the vampires can't catch them.
But although the raven-haired boy was pouting annoyed because he still wanted an apology, he remembers the purple glow, and sadly looks back away from the mountain, he felt that in reality that dream was a cry for help. A cry for help that he couldn't ignore now.
"Was that Romanian they were talking about just now? Well, it would make sense if we take into account that the legend of Count Dracula is in Transylvania. But I find it impressive how quickly they adapted to our language..." Doraemon notices how Nobita changes direction returning to the mountain but going up towards the thousand-year-old tree, so he goes after him "What are you doing?! We must go back home, if the vampire myths are as they say in fantasy books, vampires can't enter human houses if they aren't invited, so we will get rid of them!"
The boy with glasses had a determined look "I can't leave her alone, remember that we went there to find the platinum-haired girl, I don't intend to abandon her. Those vampires could find her and hurt her."
"But how do you even know if she is real or just a product of a dream?!" The cat claims and then exchanges glances with his friend who didn't lose that determined and serious look.
"Just like the vampires that ACCORDINGLY everyone told me didn't exist but almost ate us just now?!" Nobita had really won the argument with that, despite all the adventures with fantastic creatures that had happened, he was practically questioned for believing that everything that had happened since the other day was because of (blood-sucking beasts).
Even Doraemon doubted his theory, so he couldn't deny now what the boy wanted to do, so... "Yeah, you were right, sorry for doubting that. Besides, your idea of the pencil crosses saved us both, you deserve to be right about this." That certainly put a smile on Nobita's face, it was what he wanted to hear, especially from his best buddy "Let's go where you want to go, but if it's something else dangerous, I'll get you out of there even if you get angry, we already have enough with a couple of vampires in the city."
The boy nods as he shakes hands with his friend, so flying together, they reach the ancient tree, getting a big surprise.
What seemed to be a kind of small purple meteorite was flickering its brightness next to the tree. Doraemon was surprised to see a kind of space rock like that, on the other hand Nobita was with a mix of emotions. Shock, excitement, curiosity and a pinch of fear invaded his body.
The boy is the first to get off, slowly approaching the mini-meteorite, Doraemon also lands behind him "W-wait Nobita, we must be careful, we don't know if this object can produce some kind of radiation or if it has something dangerous inside or...!" The boy ignores the robot's warning, he was so enthralled by knowing what was there that the memory of the dream passes through his mind again while he was already face to face with the meteorite.
The momentary silence was invaded by the sounds of the crickets chirping around, the dream environment was becoming an almost real scene, everything was falling into place, there was only one thing left that Nobita knew he had to do. So swallowing saliva, the boy slowly brings his hand closer, although the nocturnal music of the environment was playing in the background, both he and Doraemon were tense because they didn't know what exactly was going to happen.
The boy's fingers delicately touched the meteorite, it didn't look like it but the object felt smooth and not rocky as a meteorite should feel, noises began to be heard inside the meteorite interrupting the crickets and making Nobita back off, it seemed there was something inside. But unlike the dream, a small gate opens on the top of the oval meteorite. "This meteorite... Is it actually an escape pod? Well, it's not new for escape ships to have this kind of appearance to go unnoticed, but I wonder what this one is doing on Earth?" Doraemon says, raising an eyebrow as he inspects the meteorite pod.
"Foame" (Hunger)
Nobita is confused because he heard a weak female voice inside his head, he looks around believing that someone had spoken to him, but he doubts that Doraemon said anything to him "Did you say something Doraemon? I heard someone say (Foame)" The blue cat just shakes his head at his friend's question, who immediately looks at the capsule, the answer was inside.
"Sunt...slab, n-am mâncat nimic" (I'm...weak, I haven't eaten anything)
Yes, it came from the capsule. The boy turns his gaze towards his friend, so they both approach to see the inside of the capsule, the most surprised was Nobita who could not believe his eyes: A cute girl with pale skin, straight and long platinum hair with a short black and purple Gothic-Victorian style dress that had long black stockings and gloves, purple ballerina shoes like her headband, was lying with her eyes closed inside the capsule that looked futuristic inside
"It's her, the platinum-haired girl, I knew she was as real as vampires!" Nobita shouts happily because not everything was a waste of time, he had found her, it was her. "But... Was she the one who spoke to me? Not even you heard what she said, that voice was similar to the one in the dream."
"I don't understand, your dream ended up being real in a way, it's like you had some kind of premonitory dream, and now only you heard it even though it seems that she is asleep. There are more questions than answers. How come you...?"
Doraemon's question is interrupted when the girl wakes up to get up quickly, revealing her beautiful amethyst purple eyes crossing glances with Nobita who seemed to remain stunned while she looked at him curiously, it is as if for both of them time had stopped for a moment with just a glance, all while the sound of the crickets' song began to sound again.
