Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The End

A bridge straight in front of him. A platform floating right above him. And a koopa…attacking him. Bowser was defending his bridge release button from the one and only Mario. Mario jumped onto the platform and jumped over bowser, straight onto the button. The bridge below Bowser crumbled and he fell straight down it. Mario escaped it and ran over to Princess Peach who Bowser was holding captive. Now with Bowser gone, Mario and the princess could live happily ever after. Or so he thought.

"Alright! Our next adventure awaits us so there's no time to waste! We are sonic heroes!" said Sonic with his friends Tails and Knuckles right behind him. They crossed triple loop when Amy started catching up to them. She tackled Sonic. "I wouldn't let you get away from me this time Sonic!" she said as Sonic sighed.

"Come on Munchy! You don't want to eat us! Think of all we've been through together. Okay, bad example." said Clyde, running away from Pac-Man with his ghost friends Pinky, Inky, and Blinky. Pac-Man looked to Pac-Man Jr. He ran in the direction of the ghosts and jumped into the air where a Power Pellet that Pac-Man Jr. had just thrown was. Ms. Pac-Man cheered him on and Pac-Man landed right in front of the ghosts. They turned blue and Pac-Man went on chasing them.

All of a sudden, one of Erwin's syphon portals appeared right in front of Pac-Man and the ghosts. Now, Pac-Man's power pellet had worn out and the ghosts were back to normal. "Orson? Can you still here me?" Pac-Man asked into the open when he then heard Orson's voice in his head again "Affirmative, Pac-Man." "I think Erwin might still be at it. A syphoning portal just appeared right in front of me and my ghost buddies." Pac-Man said. "Uh, Pac-Man? I'm not detecting any portals in front of you. Not from Erwin or even the Spectral Realm…" Orson replied. Something strange was afoot.

"Tails! What's that!" Sonic said pointing to a giant portal that had appeared in front of them. "Do you think Chris is coming back?" Knuckles asked. "Nah, he can't come back. Are space won't be aligned for a very long time." Tails stated. Sonic started walking up to the portal. "Don't just go inside in Sonic!" Tails screamed.

"Mario. Come with me. There is something you must see." Princess Peach said, grabbing Mario's hand and pulling him. She ran over to another chamber in Bowser's castle. Inside it was a portal. Mario through fireballs inside of it and they just disappeared as soon as they went through it.

"Should I check it out, Orson?" asked Pac-Man. "It's up to you Pac-Man. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep in contact with you if you go through…" Orson responded. Pac-Man walked straight up to the portal. Sonic stuck his hand through the portal. "Sonic, no!" Amy screamed worriedly. Mario told Princess Peach to stay there and ran right up to the portal. At the same time, the three of them all walked straight into the portal.
