Just as I promised, I'm completely redoing "Do You Want to Build Something Awesome?". This time I'm not holding anything back, I'm not going to worry if fans of both the Lego and Frozen franchise get nitpicky over certain things that "would never work in canon". I'm going to cherish my ideas the same way Finn and Bianca did in Lego Movie 2!
P.S. Hope you guys have seen the previous Lego movies because there's going to be a LOT of references to those! And hopefully you've seen the Cartoon Network show of Unikitty. Believe me, a lot dedicated to that as well! Beware spoilers!
PLEASE FOLLOW AND COMMENT, THANK YOU!

Five years ago had been Taco Tuesday, relentless fighting and masterbuilding having finally brought the peace we had so desperately craved…
But peace did not last long when the Duplos came in and threw our innocent minds into the pit of dark brooding and grown up thoughts…
I was once a rebel, who then became a survivor, who is now cutesie and adorable, just as she has always been deep down…
My hair had been shrouded in darkness, all thanks to a black sharpie marker…
The darkness had faded, along with all dark, brooding thoughts...bringing back the cheery, happy girl I thought I could no longer be…
Bricksburg...then Apocalypseburg...now Syspocalypsestar
Everything is now awesome again...
And none of this could have been possible…none of this could have happened had it not been for the kind, sweet, gentle, innocent-
"Emmet!" Lucy/Wyldstyle exclaimed in surprise as her boyfriend popped up right next to her.
"Hey, Lucy!" the construction worker greeted with his usual enthusiasm. "Sorry, did I interrupt your reflecting session?"
The colorful-haired woman smiled. She had been sitting outside on the double-decker porch, watching the beautiful Syspocalypsestar thrive from their house atop the hill. Even without binoculars, the view was still incredible. As were the citizens, both from the former place known as Bricksburg and the Systar System. Adorable and tough mixed wonderfully.
"Oh, I was just about finished with my reflection session," Lucy told him.
Emmet shared her smile as he gazed down at the new world before them. "It's awesome, isn't it?"
"Every little bit as you believed it would be," she told him sweetly.
~
No matter what time of the day, whether morning, noon, or night, Syspocalypsestar was an awakening atmosphere. Former tough-and-gritty citizens of what was once Apocalypseburg had shed their hardened shells, basking in the poppy, cutesy environment they now shared with the Systarians. During their stroll, Lucy and Emmet waved to citizens, animals, and other creatures they shared this world with. Like the people, the sky itself was a mixture of vibrant, colorful, and definitely cool. The lake that circled the beautiful land glistened, citizens swimming in the water while some went water-skiing. The Statue of Liberty that had once been destroyed remains of an alien attack, now laid proudly as one of Syspocalypsestar's most adorable landmarks.
The couple made their way over to the cafe where pop songs blared, and customers chatted and gushed amongst themselves. Emmet remembered when it had been a simple, mundane coffee shop that charged over 30 bucks for a regular. Then when it had been a devastating environment of brooding and "bitter liquid that provided the only suppliance of pleasure during the dark times". Now it was a preppy joint where coffee wasn't the only thing on the menu. Smoothies were a popular choice, especially since they were always served with reusable straws!
"Two kiwi/mango/strawberry smoothies, extra large, one with touch of whip cream, and the other with a whole lot of whip cream and chocolate syrup!"
Lucy beamed to herself as the cheery barista made their orders. She was not the least bit regretful for these extra sweet pleasures. After five years of allowing the darkest blend of coffee to drown her hopes, a smoothie was a great addition to the utter bliss of this better life.
As the two walked down the street sipping on their drinks, they stopped just as Mrs. Scratchen-Post exited her vehicle, cats in tow. And especially the velociraptors. These guys were definitely having a better life since the whole Rex incident.
"Hey there, Purgatory Dave!" Emmet greeted toward the familiar surfer dude across from them.
Said man with a possible identity crisis was decked in an outfit of the Systarian guards. With his white armor and [hopefully] fake mace, he was teaching the sewer babies and their twinkle star Systarian playmates how to be do-gooders to the universe.
"That's Sir Dave!" he responded in a brash tone as he posed like an overly-confident warrior having discovered a golden flask.
"Beats Chainsaw Dave," Emmet commented, sharing a chuckle with Lucy.
They immediately spotted something gliding over the city, both in color and very, very dark gray.
"Batman! Whatevra!" Emmet greeted.
"Hey, guys!" the man of bats waved back, the Systarian queen serving as his vehicle.
"Hey, what up, lovelies?" the shapeshifting bride of Gotham's hero greeted cheerfully.
"How was your last adventure?" Lucy called.
"Shared a lot of great ideas," Batman explained. "Most of which hadn't met agreement or are still under question by copyright trolls or whatever."
"He means to say it was just fine," Whatevra Wa'Nabi insisted simply.
"Yeah, that's it," Batman agreed instantly.
"Good to hear!" Emmet responded, cheerful as always.
Soon they passed by Benny and General Mayhem, who had once again switched helmets. The two space-lovers were deep in developing a whole new spaceship, which was all pink, blue, and layers of glitter.
"Benny! General Mayhem!" Emmet called out. "Spaceshipping, I presume?"
Mayhem, who displayed her gleaming blue hair with pride, grinned at them as she reattached the wings to the sides of the machine. "Our latest and greatest so far!"
"We're going to run this baby into orbit, with a trail of glitter!" Benny said, his voice enhanced by the deep voice courtesy of Mayhem's helmet. He was barely able to contain himself. "We'll literally write the cosmos with our names on it! SPACESHIP!" he chirped aloud, getting antsy for the completion of their project.
"Yeah, good luck with that!" Emmet told them as he and Lucy carried on their way.
Soon, they stopped once again, witnessing one of their friends gliding over the city.
"Metal Beard!" Wyldstyle called. "How's the new ship doing?"
"Taking on air like a true maiden over voyage!" the captain of the ship responded as he playfully spun the wheel. "Catch ye on the flip side, maties!"
"Alright, you take care!" Emmet said, watching as their pirate pal went to take his new planetary ship for another ride around the universe. "Boy, it sure is great seeing how happy all our friends are!"
"Some are just even happier," Lucy pointed out as they spotted a familiar pink blur zooming in their direction.
"Emmet! Wyldstyle!" the cheerful princess cat greeted, nearly tackling the two.
"Hey, Unikitty," the construction worker responded, giving her a playful pat on her horned head. "How's the Unikingdom?"
"We had a few small instances of trouble and chaos."
The trio turned to see a large male hybrid of reptile and bird approach them, his shades gleaming under the sun. With him were a fox in a lab coat and glasses, a blue dog who shared resemblance to his sister such as a horn, and a floating gray brick. With them was a young man with wavy blonde hair and green eyes that matched perfectly with his attire.
"Oh, hey, Hawkodile!" Emmet said with even more enthusiasm. "Dr. Fox! Puppycorn! Richard!" He gave a bigger grin, which completely contrasted with the floating brick's surly expression.
"Dr. Fox blew up the kitchen," Richard said in his usual monotone. "Again."
"Throwing out those leftovers would have been even more disastrous!" the genius vixen reminded him strenuously.
"Kicking their butts was no big deal," Hawkodile said in his usual gruff. "Left a smell though."
"I tried to eat them!" Puppycorn said happily, bouncing on his fours. "But then they tried to eat me!"
"And hey there, Lloyd!" the construction worker greeted toward the familiar Master Builder. "Hey, how are you and your dad doing?"
"Much better than we had been when we used to be enemies trying to kill the other off," the green ninja expressed jokingly. "I'm already becoming a pro on how to catch!"
"Oh, yeah, don't forget, Lloyd, you promised we'd have that one-on-one match this week as soon as you start Spring Break!" Hawkodile reminded him.
"Sure, just get ready when I kick your butt," the green-eyed fighter told him challengingly.
"Not if I kick yours first!" Unikitty's bodyguard remarked playfully.
During the five years Apocalypseburg had been surviving and fending off the Systarians, other parts of the universe were fortunate enough not to share in the suffering. Like Batman having solo adventures in Gotham City, Lloyd's home of Ninjago definitely had one too many thrill-seeking events. At least in the midst of fighting clowns and taking down shark armies, they didn't have to worry about being targets all those years.
When Syspocalypsestar was made, it opened the doors to the rest of the universe, giving the peace everyone wanted since the defeat of Lord Business.
Not only that, as Emmet noted, but the creation of Syspocalypsestar paved a road for the creation of the Unikingdom. After Queen Whatevra and Batman wedded, she gave the gifts she promised. For Unikitty, it wasn't just glitter "a lot times infinity", but with it an entirely brand new kingdom. Selfless, sweet, and generous was right. She had given Unikitty a new home, where her people and even those from the Systar System and around the universe could reside.
Granted it was right across from Frown Town...but Emmet thought it was just as good a place too!
He never minded during those five years Unikitty had been staying with him and Lucy after the destruction of Cloud Cuckooland, but he had always hoped his friend would have a place to call her own and rule with an iron marshmallow once again. And that was after learning she had a brother. Emmet found Puppycorn a big bundle of joy as much as he saw Unikitty!
The group Unikitty was with were all bundles of joy! Even Richard!
He found Dr. Fox a fun science-y gal to be around with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos she always had on hand. Hawkodile was hardcore and a cool guy to be around; Emmet was intrigued by his appearance as much as his shades. And Richard...well, Richard was nice.
"Isn't this just wonderful, everyone?" Emmet said to all his friends. "We're all happy now with everyone getting along. There can't possibly be anything else that could add to this."
_
The ship slowly made its way toward the pier. A young woman alongside her sister smiled as they gazed at their beloved kingdom. Both extended a hand toward their servants, being helped down onto the dock as their bags and souvenirs were removed with care.
"Home!" the younger sister exclaimed happily, twirling around with her red braids flapping. "It' so good to be home!"
The oldest, and ruler of the kingdom, chuckled before breathing the familiar air that blew through her single blonde braid. She just realized it was Spring. "We've been in Moscow for so long I almost forgot what Arendelle felt like," she said, gathering her long dress made of ice behind her.
"I almost forgot what it tasted like!" her sister said before biting into a sandwich made specially in their kingdom.
They made their way over to the castle where three familiar faces awaited them. A tall, muscular blonde man leaning against an equally strong and muscular reindeer...and a very euphoric snowman who waved at the sisters!"
"Anna! Elsa!" the tiny being made of snow exclaimed as he rushed over to hug the two. "I missed you guys so much! Things were almost too normal around here!"
"How did it go with that duchess back in Moscow?" the tall, blonde man asked the redhead known as Anna.
"Locked and loaded, Kristoff!" she said in triumph. "Arendelle once again has a new partner in stocks and shipment!"
"Not to brag," her sister Elsa mentioned, "but I did blow her away with a few tricks up my sleeve."
With that said, her fingers wriggled and a few snowflakes flittered from them. Since they started traveling, she had become more open about her powers. People from other countries had heard of Arendelle's snow queen, some even journeying miles just to meet her. At first, it was a bit overwhelming, but over time she had found the confidence to show off. No longer was she terrified.
As they settled back into their castle, the sisters talked of their travels with their friends. They were a small band of misfits: a queen with ice powers, a regular sister with a powerful heart, an iceman, his trusty reindeer, and an overzealous snowman. As odd a group as they were, Anna and Elsa wouldn't trade this for anything.
~
The cool breeze of Spring welcomed Elsa as she stood atop her balcony. While she favored winter, the sun was always a blessing. She remembered a time when she would only gaze at the sun through her always closed window, fearing the outside and the people.
Thinking about those difficult years, she still couldn't believe where she was now. Out in the open, reunited with her sister, a proud kingdom that accepted her, and a family that came out of the blue when the sisters thought they were truly alone. Elsa thought of the hardships that followed her coronation, how she believed she was doing more harm than good just being near people. She could have lost everything. She could have lost Anna.
But as she had learned: love warmed the coldest of hearts.
Elsa once more counted her blessings. After years forcing herself to be apart from her own sister, they were finally making up for lost time. Their recent travels had been amazing, and she was especially excited for their next trip.
"Hey there!"
The queen turned and smiled as her sister joined her on the balcony. Both took a moment to enjoy the view of their kingdom.
"Oh, hey, get this," Anna began, "when we go to China, do I just shake the empress' hand, or do I bow with my eyes closed and bite over my bottom lip to make my teeth look bigger?" She stopped for a moment. "Does that second one sound kind of offensive?"
Elsa chuckled. "A simple handshake would do nicely. It is a worldly custom."
"Yeah," the redhead sighed as she leaned against the balcony. "Every place we've gone to has been an adventure." She grinned at her sister. "You ever thought..."
The ruler of Arendelle glanced back at her. "Ever thought about what?"
"Well...you ever thought that maybe, somewhere out there, might be a whole new world to explore?" Anna said, almost breathlessly. "A whole new world that's nothing like we've ever seen?"
"Now that..." Elsa said with modest encouragement, "...would be quite an adventure."
The sisters laughed together. However, it was short-lived when Anna noticed the breeze had lessened.
"Oh, is it night time already?" she asked aloud.
Following her gaze, Elsa also noticed the sky was darkening. That was odd. They had just arrived this morning.
"No..." she said slowly as she peered toward the sun. "Unless a storm is coming..."
Indeed, the clouds had grayed, and any trace of blue had already disappeared by a veil of black. It was as if light had become a rarity, the citizens of Arendelle exiting out of their homes wondering what was becoming of the sky. The darkness above didn't seem to be lessening, making people terrified that their kingdom would be without the sun for who knew how long.
Suddenly, the sky of black began to form a swirl, as if a tornado was being created. And it was descending toward Arendelle.
The door to Elsa's room swung open, Kristoff and Olaf having rushed in relief to find the two sisters.
"You guys better head to lower ground!" the iceman insisted hurriedly. "We've already sent word that all the people must stay inside their homes!"
"Oh, it can't be that bad!" Olaf said. "I mean, it's kind of nice with the dark, internally, vortex-like swirly thing that looks like it could gobble up everything we know and love."
Before Kristoff could say anything, there was a loud boom from above. Elsa and Anna gazed up and saw that the sky was beginning to open, and the dark circling hole was moving closer to the kingdom!
"Quick! Hurry!" Kristoff urged as he reached over for Anna's hand.
As she was being pulled to safety, the redhead turned toward her sister.
"Elsa!" she cried in horror.
The queen of ice and snow gasped as the tornado-like threat was right at their balcony. Everyone held themselves down, their bodies nearly being forced off the ground. While holding onto Kristoff who clung to the door with Olaf wrapped around his leg, Anna reached toward her sister.
"Elsa, hold on!" she called frantically.
The ruler grunted as she tried to break free from the pull of the swirling hole behind her. She desperately reached her hand toward Anna's.
However, just as she was nearly there, the wind pulled her harder than ever before. Elsa's fingers grazed her sister's before being completely held back.
"ELSA!"Anna screamed, tears in her eyes.
"ANNA!"her sister wailed as she was pulled into the swirling depths of darkness.
Soon after Arendelle's queen had been taken, the skies reverted back to blue, the springtime air now returning.
_
Elsa fell onto a surface, the impact surprisingly having not injured her severely. Gasping, she quickly checked herself before looking at her surroundings.
Nothing but darkness.
"Anna?" she called, voice trembling. "Kristoff? Olaf?"
No response.
Slowly rising to her feet, Elsa placed her hands out in front of her. Just as she could see nothing, she felt nothing. Trying not to lose her mind over this sudden fate, she was nearly blinded by a golden, luminous light that just came out of nowhere.
Shielding her eyes, she peered and spotted a bridge of some sort in her direction. The blonde woman was unable to see where such a path could lead. It seemed endless.
Next to the bridge was a sign that said:
CROSS
OVER
She swallowed, wondering if this was some kind of trick. All she could think about was finding a way home, and this wasn't the least bit helpful. But what other choice did she have? There was literally nothing else around here but that bridge.
Ever so slowly, she walked toward it. Cautiously, Elsa laid a hand on the rope and gave a small tug. The bridge didn't seem in disrepair, or could possibly collapse under her weight.
Taking a deep breath, she took the first step onto the firm, strong wood. Then another. Soon she was walking upon the new surface. Then she started running. She had no idea where this bridge was taking her, the golden glow serving as her only source of aid.
Before she could get further, something flashed before her eyes. She stopped in her tracks, gasping and crying out by the sudden invasion, unable to make of what it was. She saw colors, bright flashes of light, the most surreal form of visuals her mind ever processed.
The luminous yellow was soon replaced by a vision of white light, before somehow Elsa was witnessing some kind of image.
She saw a young boy with a much younger girl, both standing over a table filled with...stuff. Elsa wasn't sure what to make of it, or why she was watching these children. They appeared to be figurines, but certainly not the dolls and trinkets children from Arendelle always played with. They were highly unusual.
"She accidentally left it with me at school," the boy said to the little girl, who Elsa believed must be his sister.
"Holy cow!" the little girl exclaimed. "Your girlfriend owns one of those expensive dolls? They sold out fast at con! They're like worth more than a thousand dollars online! Why is this even out of the box?"
"Bianca, please, she's not my girlfriend..." her brother insisted gently. Even if the imagery was a bit bleak, the snow queen noticed a slight blush on the boy's face.
Elsa blinked in confusion. "What's con?" she couldn't help but ask herself.
The imagery before her immediately disappeared as soon as it was brought up, and Elsa found she was no longer standing on a hard surface.
And she began to plummet.
_
Emmet and the others chatted as they all gathered around a large table overwhelmed with food. Sitting between Lucy and Lloyd on the double-decker bench he just created, the construction worker was about to sink his teeth into some buttermilk pancakes. However, he stopped.
"Uh, do you hear continuous screaming that seems to get louder as a result of never ending descent into oblivion?" Emmet suddenly asked.
The group turned from their meals and glanced up at the sky instantly. Other citizens stopped what they were doing, standing in place as they gazed and pointed at whatever was simultaneously attracting their attention.
"Oh, look a shooting star!" Puppycorn exclaimed with zealous awe. "Everybody make a wish!" And he quickly clapped his paws together, shutting his eyes tightly. "I wish for-"
"That's...not a shooting star," Lloyd said slowly as he squinted.
"Must be the first giant snowflake of spring," Hawkodile suggested.
"No, definitely not a snowflake," the green ninja corrected. "Looks more like..."
As the mysterious presence began falling closer to Syspocalypsestar, Emmet immediately realized that it was a helpless person (or at least he assumed it was a person).
"Oh, my gosh, that man or woman or thing is going to hit the ground any moment!" he cried frantically.
He immediately abandoned his pancakes and rushed down the street, trying to follow where the mysterious individual could possibly land. He stretched out his arms, panting.
"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Emmet shouted.
After a few seconds he realized how pointless this was right now.
"Uh, don't worry, somebody else will save you faster than I can!" he assured to whoever was falling.
Lloyd quickly dropped his soda and ran, his ninja speed granting him a better chance. He leaped onto a nearby vehicle before impacting the hood to catapult him skyward. Taking to the air just as he was trained to perfect, the green fighter locked his eyes on the falling person.
Upon closer speculation, he was stunned to see it was a young woman. She was adorned in a long, icy blue dress that flapped in the duration she was falling. She continued screaming, having not noticed him.
"Don't worry!" the green ninja assured calmly as he reached a clawed, yellow hand toward her pale, five-fingered one. "I-"
He grunted as the top of his head was met with a foot that pushed the green ninja back. The sound of a bird-like screech echoed.
"I got you!" Hawkodile declared boldly as he reached toward the woman.
The moment she saw him, the lady was terrified, leaning back and almost forgetting she was falling to her supposed doom. But Hawkodile proved himself to be a gentleman as he gathered her in his arms. With a mighty cry, he shot downward like a bullet.
Lloyd, still in the air, just watched him in disbelief.
"I had this, you know..." he muttered in an annoyed tone.
"I know, Lloyd," Hawkodile called back to him apologetically, "but force of habit."
The bodyguard hybrid landed swiftly on his feet, the woman held protectively in his arms. Lloyd landed beside him seconds later as Hawkodile carefully knelt down and laid the rather fragile lady onto the ground. She was still shaking, and appeared to be a bit dizzy from having just fallen at such a terrifying speed with the fear of possibly meeting a messy end.
"Are you alright, ma'am?" Hawkodile asked gently.
Dr. Fox gasped as she pulled out what appeared to be a first-aid kit. "Everyone give the extraterrestrial room! I'm a doctor!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Lucy intervened. "No, you are not a doctor! There is no way you are going to just 'experiment' on this poor person. I mean, look at her, she's been through enough!"
"Who said I was going to experiment?" the genius vixen argued.
The moment she accidentally pulled out a saw blade, Dr. Fox quickly hid it. She chuckled sheepishly while Lucy merely just shook her head in disappointment.
Breathing slowly, the aforementioned young woman gazed up at her rescuer. She was not the least bit comforted by the sight. From her perspective, she was looking at some strange creature with the face of a bird and the body of something reptilian. Like some kind of ungodly beast. It didn't help with whatever those dark glasses were that completely shielded its eyes. Perhaps it was better that she couldn't see its eyes.
Already on the verge of losing consciousness, she could barely hear the sudden mix of several other voices. Soon other faces stared down at her. Whether it was in horror, concern, or possibly showing threat toward her, the young woman couldn't even find the strength to use her powers in defense. Joining the stunning creature that had saved her, she found herself gazing at some...yellow person with a face that looked to have been drawn on with a pen, especially what could have passed for green eyes since they were more like droplets of green paint. The blonde, wavy hair appeared unreal to her, like something carved to fit a doll.
As if she wasn't terrified enough.
Another joined on the hybrid creature's other side, looking a bit similar to the other yellow being. Except this one had a brown, hair-like top, and was adorned in some bright orange material...almost as if it was painted on him. Whatever it was said something to her, but she couldn't even hear it. From the look on his face of two dots for eyes and a possibly painted on mouth, he seemed almost worried. She couldn't tell if it even could be worried. She was just so exhausted from everything that just occurred moments ago.
With a helpless groan, Elsa passed out.
