"Nobita, you're okay! Thank goodness!" she exclaimed, clearly relieved to see Doraemon and me safe and sound.
"Shizuka, I'm so sorry for worrying you again!" I apologized sheepishly.
"I'm just glad you're alright," she said with a warm smile that made my heart skip a beat.
Suddenly, Dorami eyed Doraemon suspiciously. "Big brother, have you been drinking?" she asked, sniffing the air. I tensed up, hoping she wouldn't notice the faint smell of alcohol.
"Of course not! You know I only like dorayaki," Doraemon replied nervously. I could tell he was lying through his teeth.
That's when Shizuka noticed Morina standing behind me. Her eyes narrowed as she took in the tall, curvaceous woman. "Nobita, who is that?" she asked, her voice laced with jealousy.
Uh oh. I quickly tried to change the subject. "Let me introduce everyone! This is Morina. Morina, these are my friends from Earth - Shizuka, Dorami, and..."
I rattled off introductions, but I could feel the tension in the air. Morina smiled coyly at Shizuka. "My, your Earth friends are so adorable, Nobita!"
Great. I was stuck in the middle of a classic love triangle scenario. Should I feel lucky or cursed? The situation was equally thrilling and terrifying.
Thankfully, Doraemon came to my rescue. "Now that we're all here, let's prepare to stop Galtite Mining and save planet Koya Koya!" he declared dramatically.
"Yeah! I can't wait to beat those Galtite jerks to a pulp!" Gian shouted, swinging his baseball bat enthusiastically.
"G-Gian, you'll protect me, right?" Suneo whimpered, clinging to Gian's shirt.
We all rolled our eyes at their antics, but it was time to get moving. Our first stop was the mysterious volcano that had appeared out of nowhere. We strapped on our Take-copters and took to the skies.
When we arrived at the volcano, we discovered a hidden valley with a suspicious-looking base. This had to be Galtite Mining's headquarters. Doraemon, Morina and I decided to sneak in first while the others provided backup.
Inside the base, we immediately spotted a massive drill-like machine emitting an ominous red glow. "What is that thing?" Doraemon whispered.
We carefully crept through the facility, dodging floating security cameras. But despite our best efforts, we were quickly discovered. Blinding spotlights illuminated our position as alarms blared.
"This is as far as you go, kids!" a voice boomed from a hovering security ship.
"Morina? What are you doing here?" the voice continued. "Did you hear about your father being captured?"
"What? My father is here? How could they bring him to such a dangerous place?" Morina cried, clearly shaken.
I grabbed her hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm here for you," I said, trying to calm her down.
"Release Mr. Burns immediately!" I shouted defiantly at our captors.
"Well, if it isn't the little Earthling who escaped death. You won't be so lucky this time!" the voice threatened menacingly.
A platform rose from the ship, revealing two figures - Guillermin and Borgant.
"We meet at last, Nobita Nobi," Guillermin said with an eerie calmness that sent chills down my spine.
"So you're the mastermind behind all this?" I asked, sizing him up. He reminded me of the masked villain from that Cretaceous Period movie.
"This ends now. You've been quite the thorn in our side," Guillermin said with a cold smile. Then his expression hardened as he barked an order: "All Galtite ships, launch! Eliminate these Earth brats and Morina!"
"Is it really necessary to use our full force against these kids?" Borgant questioned.
"Even a lion uses all its might to catch a rabbit. That's my philosophy," Guillermin replied ominously.
I was caught off guard by how quickly things escalated. This villain wasn't messing around with dramatic speeches - he went straight for the kill!
"Oh, and Morina," Guillermin added with a smirk, "Take a look. Your father is right here. Think carefully about whether you want to side with these Earthlings."
A purple spherical cage materialized, containing Mr. Burns. "Morina, run! Don't worry about me!" he shouted desperately.
"Dad!" Morina cried out in anguish.
I pulled her behind me protectively, using my psychic powers to form a shield against the barrage of attacks. Doraemon deployed his Reverse Cloak, sending energy blasts ricocheting back at our attackers.
Purple beams of energy crisscrossed through the air as chaos erupted around us. Just when things seemed dire, I heard a familiar battle cry:
"Gian, ready!"
Suneo lobbed a baseball high into the air. With a mighty swing of his bat, Gian sent it hurtling towards a Galtite ship like a cannonball. The reduced gravity of Koya Koya amplified his already superhuman strength.
"Direct hit!" Gian and Suneo cheered as the ship plummeted from the sky in a fiery wreck.
"Nice one, guys!" Dorami called out encouragingly. "Keep it up!"
Gian and Suneo continued their assault, taking out ship after ship with their improvised artillery. Meanwhile, Dorami handed Shizuka a Reverse Cloak and pulled out a...air cannon?! She began blasting away at the densely packed Galtite fleet, each shot bringing down another vessel in a plume of black smoke.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness we'd gathered the whole gang before taking on the final boss. If I'd come alone, I definitely would have been toast against this level of firepower!
As the onslaught of attacks lessened, I knew our chance to strike back had arrived...
