When Universes Collide.

Prologue

He stared at him; his eyes were ablaze as He held the dagger tightly in his fist. The hero just looked defiantly at him, blood streaming down his face, starting to seep into his eyes, blurring his vision slightly.

"I will ask you one more time. Where is the Opening!" He was getting impatient, but he didn't care. In fact he was beginning to find it amusing.

"I told you," The hero lied, "I don't know anything!"

He looked at him, almost sensing the Hero's lies. He raised the dagger. And slashed.

The Heroes face was a bloody mess. He turned around and looked at his guards

"Lock him in the dungeon, and," He smiled wryly, "Treat him as our "Guest" Hahaha!" He walked away as the guards tied him up.

As the hero sat in his cell, unable to clean the blood from his face, he stared at the sky through the barred windows. He remembered what the Prophet had told him, "Throughout 7 universes, 7 Universe Keys and 7 Universe Gates," 7, I wonder where my one went?

You are our last hope. He thought to himself. Godspeed, Mario, Godspeed.
