Although the Cornerstone is a powerful artifact and heavily protected, Maleficent is able to negate its power by taking advantage of a door that appears into Disney Castle-exile [[Pete]]'s past after he is made miserable by her constant abuse. Using the door, Pete is sent back in time to when the castle had yet to be built, and the Cornerstone sat unprotected on a hill.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', [[Maleficent]]''': "On the other side of this portal, they're about to begin construction on that wretched castle. But until then, their treasured Cornerstone of Light lies unguarded, with all of its power still contained!"</ref> There, he attempts to destroy the Cornerstone, weakening the defenses of the present Disney Castle and allowing Darkness to penetrate the castle; the [[Heartless]] then invade and attempt to take the castle and its inhabitants prisoner.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', [[Timeless River]] - [[Pete]]''': "As part of Maleficent's scheme to take over Disney Castle, Pete plans to destroy the Cornerstone of Light. Without the Cornerstone, Disney Castle will be defenseless."</ref> As Maleficent's trademark thorns surround the Cornerstone, she appears as an apparition to taunt Queen Minnie about her imminent victory.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', [[Minnie]]''': "This is the castle's cherished Cornerstone. But look. The thorns...They must be the work of someone very evil. I wonder what this could mean..."</ref> | |||
