"Today's the day!" Emmet gets up in the morning for another day. But today was no ordinary day. Mr. Business had something big announcing today. So big, that he walks to talk about it in person! It's been about a year after the whole 'Lord Business' deal. He's been changing the world for the better, indeed. I turn on the TV to see the news. A news reporter was on the scene of a jail cell, melted away.
"...and we look in here to see that once again, The Brickster has escaped his jail cell using the Jalapeño Pizza trick, melting away the locked cell. Mr. Business is trying to pass a non-spicy jail cell law, that is still being debated. In the meantime, if you find The Brickster anywhere, call Emergency Services and we'll handle with the problem. We go on scene with the witness of the escape, Pepper Roni. What do you have to say about what has happened, Pepper?" The News Reporter asks a boy in a Pizzeria Uniform.
"I swear, I didn't know he would try it again! I just thought he was hungry, that's all." Pepper replies.
"Boring." Emmet changes the channel, to see another news reporter.
"In half an hour from now, Mr. Business will make his new announcement at City Hall." The News Reporter continues.
"Yes! This is it!" Emmet puts down the remote, and listens closely.
"Mr. Business has only gave out this information: 'This New Technology will change this town, maybe even all of the worlds forever!' he exclaims. This is big news for everyone, far and wide. No one should miss out on this Town Hall Meeting. And now back to Tom with the weather."
Emmet powers off the TV, and gets ready.
"Thirty minutes to get ready and head to Town Hall. Better hurry if I want to make it on time." Emmet rushes to get prepped and then heads to his car. He turns on the radio, and 'Everything Is Awesome' plays. Emmet lets out a grunt. "I've heard this so many times, I'm getting sick of it. Anything else on?" Emmet decides to change the radio.
Everything is awesome!
He changes again
Everything is cool when you're part of a team!
And again
When you're living in a dream!
And again...
Let's party forever!
"We really need some new songs." Emmet realizes.
Emmet makes it to City Hall, and the crowd is full of people, even his friends, who Emmet could see are up close to the podium.
"Looks like they got good seats." Emmet replies.
Emmet tries to park his car, but the spots close to City Hall were already taken. So, Emmet had to park far away. However, just Emmet's bad luck, he hears Mr. Business talking, and cheering.
"Oh no, I'm late!" Emmet hurries up and runs to City Hall on foot. He is able to make it there, and wiggle his way to the front, with his friends. Emmet listens up on what Mr. Business is saying, even though he missed a little bit of it. A strange machine is covered in a tarp behind him.
"And now, without further delay, I present to you, Octan's newest invention!" Mr. Business uncovers the tarp, and reveals a portal.
Everyone gasps and takes pictures.
"The Human World Portal!" Mr. Business shows off the new invention. "This will take anyone in and out of the human world, the world where no one has gone before, and came back, except for one. Emmet, please step forward." Mr. Business gestures to Emmet, standing close to the podium.
Emmet was surprised of this. "Y-yes, sir?"
"Emmet, my dear boy. You've changed the way I've seen this world, and I wish to expand. What was it like on the other side?" Mr. Business asks.
"Well, it was much bigger than anyone could imagine, but I couldn't explore, because I was stuck frozen." Emmet explains.
"Exactly. Scientific Studies have shown that on the other side, we won't be able to move at all. Not any longer." Mr. Business pulls out a vile from his pocket. "I call this the Progressive Panacea. One spray will have you moving on the real world in no time."
Emmet wasn't sure about this. "Sir, how are you sure this will work?"
"Very simple, I have already sent a test subject in. We all just hope he returns. If he were to return, he will come out of the portal in 10 seconds." Mr. Business gestures to the portal behind him.
Everyone goes silent. Some even count the time. The time passes, but he doesn't come out. Mr. Business starts to believe it was a dud, until an astronaut, obviously the test subject, stepped out.
"It worked!" He exclaims.
The crowd cheers, and Mr. Business takes a silent sigh of relief.
"I knew it would work, my dear boy. In a matter of days, we will have many portals up and running, being able to let anyone pass though the world and expand our territory as we please." Mr. Business announces.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Mr. Business?" Emmet still has doubts.
Mr. Business whispers to Emmet, as he waves to the crowd. "If it doesn't end up working as I planned, we'll just pull the plug on this operation. Just give me a chance, Emmet."
Emmet sighs. "Alright, sir."
Mr. Business returns to his limo, and his scientists take the portal back to Business Towers. However, the car stops for a moment.
"One more thing. I'm going to need a little bit more help with guarding tonight. Good Cop got a bad cold, and you know how that effected Bad Cop. Who can take his place?" Mr. Business asks.
"Me! Me! Let me do it!" The joyful and happy pink unicorn cat jumps up and down.
"Unikitty? Are you sure you can handle that?" Mr. Business seems surprised that of all people, Unikitty wanted to do it the most.
"I'll be a good guard!" Unikitty smiles at Mr. Business through the Limo window.
Mr. Business was going to say no, but he saw the face she was giving. Mr. Business couldn't handle it, and gave in.
"Very well then. But please be on your best. I don't want anyone do steal it or anything." Mr. Business nods his head.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's gonna be so great protecting something to cool!" Unikitty jumps with joy.
Mr. Business sees how happy Unikitty is, and it kind of makes him smile. "Be at the Towers at 10. Got it?"
"Yes, sir!" Unikitty gives a salute as he drives away.
"What if something happens? Will you be alright, Unikitty?" Lucy asks.
"Yep. I have firework magical powers in case anyone wants to steal the portal or the pana... panape... panepepper..." Unikitty can't seem to get the word right.
"Progressive Panacea." Batman says.
"That is a bit confusing." Emmet says.
"Well, it's purple, and it's a potion, so why don't we nickname it the Purple Potion?" Benny suggests.
"Good idea. That will be much easier to say." Lucy replies.
"Well, good luck." Metalbeard replies.
"I'll do great!" Unikitty cheers.
That night, Unikitty was standing guard. She's pacing back and forth, being very observant.
"Nothing to my right, nothing to my left. I'm good so far." Unikitty says.
Little did she know, someone was breaking in. A robber with a mask and a moustache was breaking in through the window. He was climbing the giant tower, undetected. His face matched the one on TV. It was the Brickster for sure.
"Cursed tall tower. Why did Business make it so big? It's completely unnecessary!" The Brickster finally made it up to the floor he was looking for, and snuck in.
Meanwhile, Unikitty wants to look inside and see the portal.
"Oh man, what I would do to just look at how that thing worked. But I should remember what Mr. Business said. On my best behavior." Unikitty tried to fight her curiosity. She tried looking at the time, playing mind games, and other things to pass the time, but nothing was working her curiosity was getting to her.
"Maybe just one peek..." Unikitty opens the door, and walks in. "Wow, it sure is dark in here."
The Brickster quickly slithered into the shadows. Unikitty uncovered the portal, and looked at it. She saw the potion near it, and decided not to touch that.
"I wonder how to turn it on?" Unikitty tries to find a way to turn it on. She then sees a lever out of the corner of her eye. "Hey, it looks pretty simple." She pulls the lever, and the portal turns on. "What do you know, it works. Now just to pull the lever again..."
But before she could, that was when Brickster grabbed her, and covered her mouth, so she couldn't scream.
"Shhhhh. You're not turning that portal off, and this potion is mine." With the other hand, Brickster grabs the serum and attaches it to his back. "I'm getting away with no more punishments, no more jails, and especially no more pizza."
Unikitty tries to scream, but Brickster still has his hand over her mouth. She instead lets out a silent whimper.
"And you're coming with me, because you saw nothing, and I saw nothing." Brickster quietly chuckles.
This was the time to escape. Unikitty bites the Brickster's arm, and she's given a few seconds to scream, before Brickster covered her mouth again.
"You stupid pony cat! You won't see the light of day when I'm done with you."
From another room, some of the guards heard the short scream.
"It came from over there." One of the robot guards points to the portal room.
"Open up, or we're coming in!" Another one threatens at the door.
"You're really done it now, princess." Brickster pulls out his laser blaster, and puts it to her head, as the guards burst in.
"It's the Brickster! Terminate on site!" One guard exclaims.
"Cease fire! Cease fire! He has Princess Unikitty hostage!" Another guard screams.
Then, Mr. Business storms in, and sees the situation.
"Put the blaster down, and step away from the Princess. You don't want to do this, Brickster." Mr. Business tries to negotiate with him first.
"You won't put me back in jail again. I'll never let you do it again!" The Brickster suddenly gets blinded by the light coming from the window he came in. A searchlight from a helicopter is on him.
"Let's do this the easy way before I use lethal force." Business warns.
"Looks like my time is up here. So long, suckers!" The Brickster puts the blaster away from Unikitty, but directly hits Business, giving him enough time to make his escape though the portal, still having Unikitty hostage.
"Fire! Fire!" Business tries to get him, but he's too late, as they disappear though the portal. "Why am I so stupid? I knew I shouldn't have put her on the job! This is my fault! What will I tell the others?"
The next morning, Mr. Business assembled the Master Builders.
"Why did you bring us here?" Lucy asks.
"Does this have to do with Unikitty? Where is she?" Emmet asks.
"I am very sorry to say but, something has happened to your joyful friend." Mr. Business says.
"What happened to her?" Benny asks.
"Well, The Brickster broke into Business Towers last night and made his escape through it, along with the Progressive Panacea. He wanted no witnesses, and Unikitty was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Business explains.
"She didn't deserve this." Emmet replies.
"Of course she didn't, she was doing her duty. They've made their way into the other world, and will only grow farther away from our world. That is why I assembled all of you here. Please, you must return Brickster to jail and Unikitty back home safely. If Brickster needs to be executed, then so be it. But I would hate to see Unikitty fall because of my mistake."
"Unikitty helps us all the time when we're in a tight spot, and she's always willing to try as best to her potential. Now it's time to return the favor. We're going to get her back home safely, and end The Brickster's terror. Who's with me?" Lucy puts her hand in, and all of the other Master Builders put their hands in too. They raise their hands up high.
"That's the spirit I like to see! I can't have the people lose their trust in me, so this will stay undercover, and I will stay here. I have created enough Progressive Panacea to keep you mobile in the other world for a week. It might not seem like much, but it's all we could create on such a late notice." Mr. Business sends in the tanks of the potion for all of them.
"Well bring her back, we promise." Lucy promises.
They all take a moment, spray themselves, and walk through the portal.
