        "What do you need from me?" R.O.B. asked the group.  He sounded like the combination between a male Siri and a fax machine.

        The whole group of heroes and villains were in a moderate sized room.  The walls, ceiling, and floor were an 8-bit style and all black.  Mega Man stood in front of the heroes and was talking to R.O.B, who was standing by the back wall.  On the back wall behind R.O.B. was a huge keyboard about twenty times the size of a regular computer keyboard.  Next to the robot was a huge, complex machine.  The rest of the room was filled with electronic clutter.

        "I beseech you for your help," Mega Man pleaded.

        "And what makes you think that I'll help," R.O.B. questioned.

        "We need to be transported somewhere far away," Mega Man responded, "and we need your help getting there."

        "You heroes are so needy," R.O.B. insulted.  "You can insult others but when you need something, you expect to get it right away."

        "Please R.O.B," Mega Man said, bending on his knees.  "Put whatever you have against us aside.  I know you.  Please, help us out just this once."

        "Why should I?" R.O.B. asked with anger.

        "If you don't help us, we'll all be dead," Mega Man continued, "including you."

        There was a hesitation in speech.  It looked like R.O.B. was thinking about something.  Then, he finally spoke.

        "Alright, I'll do it," R.O.B. hesitantly agreed.  Then, he walked closer to the bulky machine next to him.  He put his robot hand on it.  "I've made this baby myself, along with all of the other wondrous and complex inventions in here.  This can take you anywhere.  So, where do you want to go?"

        Mega Man gulped.  "The Final Destination."

        Even though he didn't have one, R.O.B.'s stomach dropped.  "It will be tough," he admitted.  "Master Hand and Crazy Hand have that place blocked with all sort of magic.  But, I could probably charge it overnight and it could take you there."

        Everyone became happy.  "Thank you so much R.O.B." Mega Man thanked.

        "Don't thank me!" R.O.B. snapped.  "I'm doing this for myself, not you."  Then, he walked back over to the huge keyboard and pressed some buttons.  Then, on the right wall, a huge black space formed, about the size of a door.  Then, green 1s and 0s filled the space.  Soon, the numbers formed an actual door.  "You'll sleep in there for the night," R.O.B. said.  "Two to a room.  Go now."

        So, the group departed to the door to find a line of doors like a hall from a hotel.  All of the heroes and villains went to a room, two in each.  There was just a perfect amount for them, too.  

        Night was very close, and then it came.  They would have to wait until tomorrow before they could go to The Final Destination, so they just had to rest.  Mario was sleeping peacefully until he heard a voice.

        "Wake up," someone whispered while shaking him.  This jolted the plumber up.  He looked to see Mega Man on top of him, shaking him.  They stayed in the same room for the night.

        "What?" Mario groggily mumbled.

        "I saw something strange while talking to R.O.B," Mega Man said.  "I need to show you."

        So, Mega Man dragged Mario out of the bed.  Then, they opened the door and walked very quietly down the hall.  Then, they opened the door into R.O.B's invention room.  Yet, they saw someone else there.  They quickly hod behind one of R.O.B.'s other inventions and peeked around to get a better look.  Someone in a black robe was tampering with the teleportation machine, but the black robe covered them.  However, the person was the perfect size to be Dark Pit.  That's what Mega Man and Mario assumed.

        "We have to a-stop him," Mario whispered.

        "No, we can't," Mega Man whispered back.

        "Why a-not?" questioned in a hushed voice

        "R.O.B. may be a hero, but he is a selfish one," he answered very quietly.  "He hates being called a toy and a wasted character space.  If we fight this person, we will wake R.O.B. up and if we do that, he will never transport us to The Final Destination."

        "So we just a-let him do this?" Mario inquired silently.

        Mega Man sighed.  "Yes."

        Then, the mystery person was done with the machine and started walking back to the hallway.  Mario and Mega Man ducked down as the figure walked by.  Then, when they went in, Mega Man and Mario ran to the keyboard.

        "What did you a-want to show me?" Mario asked in his normal voice.

        "This," Mega Man answered.  He picked up something on the keyboard.  It was a metal circle about the size of a bottle cap.  In the middle was a red circle.  Mario stared at it awe.

        "What a-is it?" Mario asked in amazement.

        "I don't know," Mega Man replied.  Mario just started at it like it was an ancient relic.  Then, the two heard a noise coming from R.O.B.'s room.

        "Let's go back," Mega Man whispered as they quietly rushed back into the room.  Then, they went back to the beds.

        But, Mario didn't fall back asleep.  He had secretly kept the unknown contraption.  Mario just stared at it in wonder the whole night.
