"What a wonderful day." Emmet wakes to another beautiful day. He gets ready for the day in his own way for work.
Next door he sees the girl who built a house next door.
"Hey, Emmet!" Lucy waves to him through a window.
He steps outside, and everyone notices his face.
"Good Morning, Emmet!" Everyone waves to him.
"It's such a beautiful day!" Unikitty prances by, singing.
Emmet looks to the big screens above which just at that moment is broadcasting Mr. Business.
"Good Morning, everyone." Mr. Business greets everyone down below.
"Good Morning, Mr. Business!" Everyone greets him back.
"Remember to be yourself and create works of art!" Mr. Business says.
Emmet continues to drive to work, but suddenly he gets cut off by some strange racers.
"Hey, guys? Can you move out of the way? I've got to get to work." Emmet pops his head out of his car to talk to them.
They shake their heads. "Look to the screen again." Johnny Thunder points.
Suddenly, a tribesman grabs Mr. Business and gets him away from the camera.
"How did you get in here? Let go of me!" Mr. Business struggles to break free, but King Kahuka is too strong. Then, a slick man in a NASCAR outfit with the letters RR on his chest takes over the broadcast.
"I know him! That's Rocket Racer!" Benny exclaims.
"Emmet Brickowski! I know you're out there! Listen to me very closely." At this point, he has Emmet's full attention.
"M-me?" Emmet feels a little worried.
"I've noticed your performance when it comes to building is exceptional, but how will it do compared to my performance in racing? I have Mr. Business held captive, and in 3 days, I will electrocute him in the same way he almost did to you." Rocket Racer turns the camera to Gypsy Moth, who straps him to the same device in the Thinking Room. "When time is up, I'll set the device to 3 Mississippi, and you'll be far too late!"
"This is terrible!" Unikitty squeals in fear.
"One he's out of the picture, I will be President of Octan and everyone in all of the worlds! People won't call me Rocket Racer anymore, but Rocket Ruler! If you think that your so precious 'teamwork' is really going to make a difference, go right ahead. You'll all end up failing anyways. There's only one winner in every single race. And in the end, I'll end up on top like I always do!" Rocket Racer laughs maniacally.
"This man is completely crazy." Batman replies.
"Unless, you can defeat all 6 of my racing champions, and reach the top of the Tower in those 3 days. Let's see who's the true master builder." Rocket Racer gives another crazy laughs, and the camera turns off, leaving everyone in fear.
"Well then, there's only one way to take down this guy." Lucy and the rest of the gang join up with Emmet.
"That's right. We're going to build race cars. For all of us." Emmet declares.
"Alright!" All of his friends cheer.
They all get to work on their vehicles. Batman sits around, since he already has the Batmobile. Hours pass and they all work hard on their cars. Benny is the first one to finish up.
"Let me guess, you built a spaceship?" Batman guesses before turning to see his invention.
"How did you know?" Benny asks. Benny's vehicle is a car that looks like a spaceship. It has wings and everything.
"Good Cop, Bad Cop, what do you think?" Batman asks.
Good Cop checks the car, followed by Bad Cop.
"This car looks like it will be good for getting great airtime!" Good Cop gives a thumbs up.
"But it lacks much ability to turn." Bad Cop looks closer.
Next one up to finish is Metal Beard.
"What you got?" Batman asks.
"Ye get a car that will take out the competition." Metal Beard reveals his car. Metal Beard's vehicle is a car that looks like a pirate ship. It has a cannon on the hood of the car.
"This car looks like it can take a hit, and deal one even better!" Good Cop smiles.
"But it is very heavy and will weigh down your speed and acceleration during a race." Bad Cop adds.
"It is done, and it looks beautiful!" Unikitty finishes her car. Her car is a sight to behold. It is very bright and colorful, along with lightweight. She has a steering wheel perfect for her hooves.
"This car is amazing! The car is light, and has a strong engine! This will make your car have a lot of acceleration and not to shabby top speed, either!" Good Cop replies in excitement.
"But it's not perfect. It's minimal parts and low weight will make it a sitting duck in combat. A few blasts from an opponent and all you'll have left is a steering wheel." Bad Cop adds.
"Well, I guess I won't get hit then, now will I?" Unikitty replies.
"Fair enough." Bad Cop nods.
Lucy is next up to show her vehicle.
"I present to you the Wyldcycle!" Lucy shows off her cart. Her vehicle is a motorcycle with great exhaust and very slim.
"Incredible! This motorcycle looks like it can make any opponent eat your dust with its amazing top speed!" Good Cop gives her a thumbs up.
"But it will take a while to reach that speed. Plus the turning isn't horrible, but it surely is poor." Bad Cop replies.
"And last but certainly not least, Emmet! What have you got buddy?" Good Cop asks.
"I have this." Emmet reveals his car, which has an orange color and looks like a construction machine that was made for racing.
"I don't believe it... everything is so balanced. The handling, the top speed, acceleration, damage input and output, and the weight. It's a well rounded car!" Good Cop jumps in surprise.
"Even though it might be very well balanced, it is not incredible under any aspects. It is merely average, but for a beginner racer, it could be for the better. I don't say these things to any of you to hurt you, I do it to show you what you need to be careful about when you get out there." Bad Cop explains.
"We're just nervous for you all. You're about to race against the greatest racers in the entire galaxy." Good Cop adds.
"So be ready for a hard task ahead." Bad Cop finishes.
"Starting off with ye." Suddenly, a Pirate with a hat and peg leg, along with a hook. "Captain Redbeard be my name. Arr, if ye think that I will lose to you, ye be truly mistaken!" Captain Redbeard does a hearty laugh.
"We'll just see about that, matey! Metal Beard will take you down!" Metal Beard barks back.
"A pirate battle this ye be? Don't hold back, Metal Beard! Just because ye car be much bigger than mine, doesn't mean that ye will be sinking my ship! Arr!" Captain Redbeard replies.
"Let the best Pirate rule the road and seas!" Metal Beard says.
"Ye be on!" Redbeard smirks as they shake hands. Redbeard goes for his gun arm, but switches arms. Metal Beard goes for Redbeard's hook hand, but switches arms. Instead of a handshake, they instead give a single nod. They both head to the track, and everyone else follows.
"Um... Emmet?" Unikitty slightly nudges Emmet with her nose to get his attention. Emmet notices that she looks worried.
"What's wrong, Unikitty? You don't look happy." Emmet replies.
"I'm worried. When Rocket Racer said, 'There's only one winner in every single race', it got me thinking. What if this whole competition ends up breaking our friendship apart?" Unikitty at this point is very worried now.
"Now, you know that we would never turn against each other over a simple competition. We'll stay together, no matter what." Emmet smiles.
Unikitty takes a deep breath, and calms down. "You're right. We wouldn't race against each other, but together."
"I'm glad you came and talked to me. I was thinking the same thing for a moment." Emmet admits. "But we are a team, and this team is going to take down Captain Redbeard!"
"For Lord Business!" Unikitty cheers as they get into starting positions.
