Hello! I had a dream a while ago that inspired this story, and this is the beginning of this product. I hope you like it!

Chapter 1:

Because It Rhymes

"He is coming. Cover your butt."

"Cover your what?"

A second later, the door swung open – and who should it be but Lord Business. Just after I had lost three of my friends, one of them had come back for revenge.

"Vitruvius," he said.

"Lord Business," I said back.

"You've guarded the Kragle well, old man," he said.

"Experienced," I shot back.

"But it's over now. Just give me the Kragle and no harm will come to you," Business said. I knew that wasn't true – two weeks after the incident, he would harm me as much as he possibly could, even if I gave over the Kragle.

"The only harm I fear is the harm that will befall this world if the Kragle falls into your hands," I said. Whenever I needed a distraction, I always turned to some witty wordplay. But Business knew the trick too well.

"Your wordplay is weak," he said. "I like to stay straightforward with my wording. Like this: Robots, destroy him!"

"Yes, Lord Business," the robots next to Business said. They started slowly walking toward me with what looked like a laser gun.

"Your robots are no match for a Master Builder," I said as I started constructing something – so many years later, I can't remember what – "for our eyes see everything."

As if on cue, the robots shot the laser gun, and it just so happened to hit my eyes. I was thrown back, as if a gust of wind had come and slapped me out of the air.

Suddenly, everything was black. It was a darkness I had never felt before – it was as if there had never been light before.

And that's when I realized – I was blind. I wouldn't be able to see a thing for the rest of my life. And I wouldn't be able to stop Lord Business from taking the Kragle.

I could hardly feel or hear anything from the excruciating pain, but as it started to clear up, I could faintly hear Business say, "Nothing's gonna stop me now!"

"Wait," I said faintly. I heard him turn around.

"There is a prophecy," I said.

Of course there wasn't a prophecy. I just had to distract him for a second. And it was also something that I needed to do for myself. I needed hope. Three of our most skilled Master Builders had left us two weeks before, and one was back, ready for revenge. And, believe it or not, I was scared. I needed a way to say to myself that everything would be okay.

"Oh, now there's a prophecy," Business said, sarcasm dripping from his voice like honey.

"About the Piece of Resistance," I said. My voice, on the other hand, did not sound like honey. It sounded like I was dying – I wasn't (although I would eventually know what it sounded like) but it sounded like it at the time.

"Oh, yes, the so-called Piece of Resistance that can supposedly stop the Kragle – I mean, give me a –"

Somehow, I found the strength to stand up. And I started to speak, somehow making up rhymes as I went along.

"One day a talented lass or fellow

A Special One with face of yellow

Will make the Piece of Resistance found

From its hiding refuge underground

And with a noble army at the helm

This Master Builder will thwart the Kragle and save the realm

And be the greatest, most important, most interesting person of all times

All this is true because it rhymes."

"Oh, sure," Business said. "That was a great and inspiring legend – that you MADE UP!"

He kicked me over the edge of a cliff.

"A Special One?" I heard him say as I fell. "What a bunch of hippie, dippie, baloney."

It took Business eight and a half years to construct a mech that would work with the Kragle. Every step along the way, we'd try to take the relic back – but to no avail. And believe me, we tried. Once, when we knew that the group we'd been sending would be taken on sight, we tried to send in MetalBeard and his Pirate Crew – but that didn't work either.

But it also took him eight and a half years to figure out that the prophecy was fake. And that kept him nervous, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it. And he only figured out because in the end, I told him.

This is the story of what made me tell him. And the secret we had to keep.

Well, I hope you like this part of the story! It won't go too far away from the movie - the plot will stay the same, only the dialogue will change slightly - but there will be some added drama that happens during the original movie's timeline that wasn't directly in the movie, but will be shown in this story.

Edit: A little funny thing that happened - just after I posted this chapter, I was browsing the TV - and The Lego Movie was on! I didn't watch, due to the fact that I've watched it twice this week as research for this story, but it was still cool.

Feel free to review, but please no negative reviews or cursing. Thanks!
