Chapter seven- Power of the Key

"So your leaving this world" Dr. Light said with a single tear in his eye, Mega Man nodded, "The key is in danger here doc, it's best if I take it somewhere were the Heartless cant get their filthy little claws on it" the robot replied, Dr. Light nodded sadly, then picked up a long, silver spanner shape tool and held it over Mega Man's chest, the tool started glowing blue…al of a sudden, a glowing gold key melted out of Mega Man's body and landed in Dr. Light's hand, the key continued glowing as if a shield was around it. "The key has a protective shield around it to keep spies like Gollum from using it for evil, unfortunately Quan Chi can absorb light energy, so we had to hide it from him and the Heartless, but no one else can get the key unless they have nothing but true and good intentions for its use, then the shield will lower" the doctor explained then handed the key to Mario. The key glowed again, brighter than before and a voice inside Mario's head began to speak, "State your business for using this key" the mighty voice boomed. Mario stood bravely and answered, "The Heartless have a returned, we need to a get a the key back to a the Temple of Order to a protect it from a them" the plumber answered. The voice waited a while then responded, "You speak the truth…the key is yours" the voice boomed, then the glowing halted and the key lowered into Mario's hand.
"Awesome!" DK yelled and began dancing around, Kirby joined in, the smashers all cheered that their task was done, now the Heartless were history. Mario handed the key to Mega Man, "Only I can take the key to different worlds" Mega Man stated, Mario nodded, "Samus, call a Raiden, tell him we have a the key" Mario said, Samus winked and raised the communicator and pressed the button and Raiden answered, "Well done heroes, we may be able to defeat the Heartless for good now" Raiden said. The smashers and Mega Man started glowing white and then vanished. Dr. Light looked up at the sky, "Goodbye my son" he said.

Peach ran into the Temple of Order throne room, she had been awake for quite a while and had not seen Raiden or anybody for all that time, "I have to warn Mario…were is he?" the princess asked herself, she looked very worried, as if she knew something. Peach was unaware or the figure behind her, "Grrrr it's that princess, we cant have her messing up the masters plan" Maul thought to himself, he then raised his hand and caught Peach in a force lock, "Ahhh, hey!" Peach yelled unable to move, Darth Maul then walked out from the corner, "Back to your cage princess" the sith laughed, Peach struggled against the force but was unable to brake free. Darth Maul threw Peach into the resting room, "Mario and my friends will stop you and your master" she yelled, Maul smiled, "No they wont Princess, my master has your friends in his hand already" then he slammed the metal door and locked it. Peach smiled slightly and looked down at the door frame, a small stick laid their just holding the door open, "Yes they will" she said, then crept towards the door and slipped out, unnoticed by the evil Jedi.
