Things were now awesome again and after five years of being constantly attacked by aliens, things were finally at peace but before the first alien invasion Emmet and Lucy met a boy named Danny. What the couple didn't know, was the boy that they found was not a little kid at all. In fact the child's real age was fourteen. As to how Danny ended up here, it was because his friends, family and teacher all died at the hands of the Nasty Burger explosion thanks to an older and crueler version of himself. He had no other family except for his godfather Vlad and Danny refused to stay with him because it was what led him to that dark future in the first place. Feeling bad that he couldn't do anything, a ghost who goes by the name of Clockwork suggested that he take him to a universe where LEGO figurines are real people.
Clockwork knew that Danny liked LEGO back when he was a kid so he actually found a world where Emmet Brikowski was a family friend during Jack's college days. As a result, he figured that this version of Emmet would be a good influence on Danny. Another reason he thought that this world might be perfect for him was because there were some famous LEGO characters from the LEGO movie that Danny liked knew him. He then knew that he was going to have to make some changes to that world and the first thing that Clockwork did was alter some of the resident's memories since the Danny of that world died along with everyone else during the explosion. It was hard work, but he managed to do it. The next thing that he did, was of course, tell Danny who reluctantly agreed since he really didn't want to turn into Dark Phantom. As a result Danny was able to cross over to that world safely and after a while of living in that world, Danny warmed up to the idea and decided that he liked Emmet and Lucy as parents and apparently they got married right after ourmomaggedon.
Speaking of Lucy and Emmet, Lucy still did her daily brood since Danny was now a teenager again and as far as she was concerned, dealing with teenagers were tough. In fact she was really into her brood since Danny was a teenager now. Not only that but she didn't even notice any of her surroundings when she said,"Things may be awsome again, but the difficulties of adapting to this new environment proves to be difficult on a daily basis, especially now that Emmet and I have to face the greatest challenge of all: parenthood." As she continued to brood, she did not notice that her adoptive son and husband were watching her. The two began to stare and since she so into the moment, that both Danny and Emmet accidentally interrupted Lucy's brooding session. Once she noticed their presence, she became embarrassed that half ghost teenager stared at her and that was when Emmet said,"Hi Lucy, did we accidentally interrupt your brooding time again?"
"Oh no, your fine," said Lucy."I was just finishing it before we leave but are you sure that moving would be such a good idea? I am actually a bit worried about Danny because he is mentally unstable right now and I am afraid that moving would only make things wrose. What if the other kids make fun of him?"
"Hey." Said Danny surprising the two adults. Though, Danny knew that Lucy was right and he knew that he was a weird kid thanks to all of those phycology visits. Danny was always isolating himself from the other kids at school and apparently this worried his adoptive parents. In fact, it was because of the way that Danny was behaving that led to the phycology visits. Not only that but somehow Danny managed to hide everything from five different phycologists. Apparently he was able to dodge everything that they threw at him and doing it was easy since he had a wannabe phycologist for a sister.
As a result, they were getting nowhere with this and it resulted with their latest phycologist who suggested that they should move to someplace new in order to help with Danny's mental health. Emment then told Lucy about it and said that they should go to Ninjago since he heard they are desperate for more construction workers. Not only that but the job payed more since the town was constantly attacked by an evil warlord. Danny even wondered if this was really a good idea as a result and he knew that most of his dad's ideas ended up in a disaster. It was clear that Danny was worried.
As for Danny, he thought back to when he became a kid again. It was during the invasion and he remembered how back then he was unable to transform into his ghost half for some reason. Luckily he was rescued by Emmet and the other Master Builders. During the two years when the people of Appocolypsburge tried to get back on their feet, Danny tried to figure out why his powers weren't working and that was when he realized that it was because he was afraid. Unfortunatly, what triggered this fear was the Nasty Burger explosion. He hoped that this wouldn't be a problem and as time went he realized that didn't need them. He was still scared.
Surviving in real life Apocolypseburge was hard. Still, he thought that seeing the LEGO figurines in real life was pretty awesome. Emmet looked pretty much the same as he did in the movie and the only difference was that he had tan skin from being out in the sun all day. Lucy looked the same as well, but she had no tan and when Lucy's real hair was revealed, Danny wondered how he never noticed that she was wearing a wig the entire time to this very day. Aside from that, Danny was grateful that he at least got to experience the second movie and Danny stil wore his outfit from when the town was still in an apocalyptic state only because he thought that the outfit looked cool. He still wore his classic white t-shirt with the red circle in the middle and the only difference was that he wore a simple pair of shoulder armor and had goggles that rested upon his forehead.
He also wore camouflage jeans, fingerless gloves and a brown scarf that tied around his neck. Though for Danny, it was a big change when his dad made peace with the Sy-Star system so the only thing that Danny decided to ditch were the shoulder pads. It was cool and all but he still can't seem to get his powers to work. Though he still thought that Emmet and Lucy were cool parents and they both at least saved him more than once. Apparently the apocalypse really messed up his phyc. As a result, his parents helped him cope from that as well as with the incident at the Nasty Burger. To this day, Danny was grateful that the two were able to help him get through it all
In fact he was grateful that Emment and Lucy took him in during the first invasion even thought it was hard to settle in because of said invasion but at least the construction worker already knew that he agreed to take him in because of Social Services. Still, it was too bad that his powers weren't working at the time because he still wished that he could have helped out more. He was angry that he wasn't able to help anyone as he remembered that after that episode, he decided to swear off his powers for good. As a result he feared that he might become Dark Phantom. Heck, he even feared what others might think of him.
It couldn't be helped and he knew that he couldn't change the past. Besides he knew that his new family would accept his ghost half. He just needed to work up the courage to do so. That is, if he wanted to tell them. To this very day, he still worried about becoming Dark Phantom. In fact he was still busy thinking about how scared he was and it wasn't until then that he only snapped out of it when his adoptive father said,"Danny, are you ok? You were kind of spacey there for a moment."
"I'm ok dad, I was just thinking about something personal." Danny admitted.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Emmet asked only to be ignored. He then thought that moving may not be such a good idea after all. Unfortunatly the construction worker knew that this was all his idea and he knew that the move was going to happen anyway since he and Lucy were talking about it for months but that wasn't until after a lot of convincing. As for Lucy, she reluctantly thought that maybe moving would probably be good for Danny. Though she was still worried for him. The female Master Builder then decided to shrug it off as she began to pack the last of the boxes before putting them into the moving van. Seeing the blank expresion on Danny's face, Emmet then spoke up and said,"If this is about the move Danny, don't worry about it. Besides don't kids your age like anime and manga?"
"Yes, dad." Danny sighed and even though he liked anime and manga as much as the next guy, he was more into outer space and spaceships. In fact if the half ghost had to be honest, his love for space was why he and Benny got along so well. The half ghost then decided that he was going to miss Benny the most once he saw that everything was all packed whe he and the rest of the family went into the car with the moving van following behind them. As Emmet drove, Danny then began to think some more and while they were driving Danny was once more lost in thought. Apparently the long car ride made Danny feel a bit drowsy and it wasn't until after they finally got out of the car then that Danny was snapped out of his thoughts.
Once he was fully awake, the half ghost teenager then found all of their friends at their destination. There, he hound himself and his family saying goodby to their old friends in front of the Good Times Sypocolypseburge Airlines. In fact everyone was there when he saw, Bat-Man, Unikitty, Benny, Sweet Mayhem, Whatevera Wa'nabi and Metalbeard all waiting for them.
"Oh wow, you guys came to say goodby?" Said Emmet thrilled to see them all again.
"It was all Unikitty's idea, not mine." Said Bat-Man not admitting that the idea was really his.
"Thanks, I think." Said Emmet unsure of what to say next. However that wasn't until he asked,"Bat-Man, are you crying?"
"No, I still have glitter in my eyes." This was true, seeing how they all had a goodby party the day before they were supposed to leave for Ninjago. Danny then remembered how the party got out of control and Bat-Man, was for some reason, was covered in glitter. Not only that but he is still trying to get rid of the leftover glitter since yesterday not realizing that the others thought that his predicament was funny.
Unikitty then spoke up and said, "Nah, you're just sappy when it comes to saying goodby." Danny then snickered when the unicorn cat said this so as a result, Bat-Man was caught off guard when she announced,"Group hug!" They all did so including Danny and Bat-Man.
"Take care of you yourselves and Danny I would like you to have this old spaceship part to remember me by. Spaceship!"
"Thanks." Said Danny as he tried not to laugh at the sudden outburst. He then put the screw that Benny gave him inside his pocket as he said his final goodby. Before everyone knew it, the Brikowski family was now on their flight for Ninjago and as the plane took flight, Danny saw the last of Sypocolypsburge. However, as the plane landed in Ninjago, it was a familiar sight to behold. To say that Danny was excited was an understatement and he only recognized the place because he used to watch the show as a kid and watched the movie when it was in theatres.
In fact, he just so happened to like them both but he decided that he was going to keep that information to himself as he wondered if he was in the world of the show or the movie. Once the plane landed, Danny was glad to finally get off the plane since he was starting to have cabin fever. That was not fun and the raven haired teen was actually glad that they finally began to settle at the new house. Once at the house however, all Danny wanted to do was lay down but unfortunatly for him, the bell rang.
"Danny, can you get the door?" Asked Lucy who was now in the middle of putting plates away. Reluctantly he did so and he was a little shocked to see that the one knocking was Misako. Not only that but her son Lloyd was with her in front of their new house so naturally he slammed the door shut not wanting to get himself involved.
"Danny don't be rude." Lucy scholded as she opened the door. As a result, Danny was now nervous mostly because her mother was glaring at him and that wasn't until she said,"I am really sorry about that, my name is Lucy. Don't be shy, come on in."
"Hello, my name is Misako and this my son Lloyd. I baked you this pie to welcome you into the city."
"Wow thanks, that was so thoughtful of you. Emmet honey, the neighbors have come to say hi!" Said Lucy this time calling for her husband who clumsily fell down the stairs while both Lloyd and his mother closed their eyes each time he fell seeing how painful it was. However, once Emmet was able to collect himself together he was about to say hello until he got distracted by the smell of the pie and with Emmet being Emmet he was actually going to eat it right away. Though it was a good thing that Lucy smacked his hand before he could grab a bite. Danny even had to hold back a laugh when Emment told Lucy that it hurt as a result.
However, that wasn't until after he saw an old photo fall out of Danny's pocket. Emmet then picked it up and as he looked at the photo he saw that it was a photo of Danny, Sam and Tucker before the Nasty Burger explosion. Danny then groaned in frusteration and it was only Danny's luck when the construction worker beat him to it when he tried to pick it up before annyone noticed.
"Wow!" Said Emmet holding up the photo."It's you! Before you were all angry, gritty and insecure! Wait? I don't remember this photo being taken."
"Dad!" Danny said taking the photo away before Emmet could investigate further. As a result, Danny was feeling both angry and embarrassed. Though, Lloyd could almost swear that Danny's eyes were green for a moment. As for Lucy, she sensed that her adoptive son didn't want to talk about it so she changed the subject quickly by saying,"Ok Danny, that is enough."
"Why don't you guys come in and have a seat?" Emment offered but as Lloyd saw the couch he asked,"What the heck is that?" Danny then covered his face in embarassment as he said this.
"Double decker couch." Answered Emmet who was also feeling slightly embarrassed.
"That is literally the dumbest idea ever." Said Lloyd not really caring about the consequences of his actions.
"Lloyd, don't be rude." Scolded his mother and sensing that this conversation would end badly Lucy said,"Danny, why don't you and Lloyd head upstairs and try get to know one another?" Sighing in releif, Danny did what he was told. Lloyd on the other hand, was curious about that photo that he caught a glimpse of earlier. Not only that, he was also curious about the couch since he was weirded out by it and as the two teenagers went upstairs there was a long silence until Lloyd said,"So... that happened. No offense, but your dad is weird."
"None taken and besides my real parents were much weirder." Said Danny surprising himself in the process. Wait? Did he just open up to the kid? Of all the people he could have opened up to, it had to be the Green Ninja. However, as Danny thought about it some more he thought that he might as well let it all out.
"So... are you like adopted?" Lloyd asked while Danny nodded his head. Lloyd then thought that the this was starting to get awkward and he knew that the reason that they were meeting the new neighbors in the first place was so that he could make a new friend. He also knew it was hard for him to make new friends because of his dad so wanting to avoid the topic he then asked,"If you don't mind me asking, what did your real parents do that was so weird?"
"They...hunted ghosts. No lie dude." Answered Danny and for a while there was an awkward silence. Though it was quiet until both boys began laughing. As for Danny, he thought that even though that his parents were long dead he still found it amusing that they were ghost hunters of all things and once the laughing ended Lloyd then spoke up and said,"Ok wow, that must have been so embarrassing. No offense, but that makes me feel better about having a warlord for a father and I probably should have not mentioned that because you now probably hate me."
"None taken. My family isn't the type to judge based on who there parents are and from the looks of it, I bet lot of people probably hates you because of your dad so I think that I can sort of relate to that. Although, I was made fun of mostly because my parents hunted ghosts." Danny explained as Lloyd nodded his head.
"That is really weird and since my mom wants me to show you around, I might as well introduce you to my friends." Said Lloyd while Danny silently thought that it was going to be cool to be meeting the other ninja. Unfortunatly, Danny saw that Lloyd wasn't too thrilled about the idea. Still he hoped that they could be friends with him since he technically idolized him as a kid and he knew that he didn't want to screw this up once he realized that trying to make friends with this guy was going to be difficult.
