Chapter 4: The Old West
(I don't own the Lego Movie, WB, Village Roadshow or any other references I may make in this fic. Okay? Okay good.)
*A shot of the clouds dispersing reveal a canyon with Frontier music playing as the camera pans towards the rock face. The music is cut abruptly as Emmet falls from the top of the screen*
Emmet: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
*the music resumes as Emmet bounces down the rocky cliff, Wyldstyle sliding down gracefully*
*Bricksburg winces with each bounce*
Business: Man that looks painful
*Wyldstyle slides to a stop, alert for any danger. Emmet plummets into the ground next to her*
Emmet: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *Wyldstyle scoffs and walks away* HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Wait where are we?
*the camera cuts to a very wide shot as the words "The Old West" appear on the screen, Frontier music playing, you can see Wyldstyle picking up a cactus and heading back towards Emmet*
Emmet: Gee I always knew that The Old West would leave a mark on me.
Emmet: This is so wei…. *He doesn't get to finish as Wyldstyle whacks him with the cactus* Ow-how!
Wyldstyle: You're not the Special you lied to me!
Emmet: Well I mean it depend. It really kind of depends…
Wyldstyle: You're not even a Masterbuilder are you?
Emmet: Uh I mean I know what a Masterbuilder is, why don't you tell me what it is that way I could see if you're right.
Wyldstyle *upset*: You've ruined the prophecy.
*Emmet holds Lucy's claw*
Emmet I'm really sorry Lucy I didn't want to make you upset
Lucy: You should have told me though.
*An ominous guitar piece sets an important feel to this scene*
Emmet: I'm sorry ok? You just *sad voice* made being special sound so good.
Wyldstyle: And to think I was going to follow you to the end of the universe.
Emmet: You were? Well here's the thing, how do we know for sure I'm not the special we just don't know it yet.
*Wyldstyle bring him behind a Tombstone*
Wyldstyle *hushed*: Quiet!
*The camera cuts to a shot of the town, where someone is heard talking to someone else*
Cowboy 1 : Y'all want a giant turkey leg?
Cowboy 2: Do you have any idea what it does to your colon?
*Wyldstyle drops in and makes short work of them, spooking the nearby horse a little*
Emmet: Oh my G-O-S-H! *he puts his claws up to his face in shock, when a cowboy hat lands in his claws*
Wyldstyle: Just put the hat on. Oh and this *throws a poncho at him* and this *throws a moustache sticking it perfectly to his face* (*Emmet nudges Lucy to say "Good Shot") and this *throws him a six-shooter* and this *throws him some spurs* and this. *throws a whinnying horse at him knocking him flat*
*Emmet snickers a little while the audience laugh, looking back on it now it must have looked just a little funny*
Wyldstyle: *coming out having changed into a Western outfit* and by the way I have a boyfriend.
Emmet: Uhh, not sure exactly why you'd bring that up.
Wyldstyle: It is super serious and you do NOT wanna mess with him.
Emmet: Ok
Wyldstyle: So don't get any ideas. *she gets on a horse and sets towards town*
Emmet: *setting the horse upright* I never have any ideas *the horse gallops away* Wait!
*cuts to a shot of town where a stagecoach is being held up, by men drawing guns*
Robber 1: Stick 'em up!
Robber 2: Put those hands where I can see 'em
*the camera pans to Emmet and Lucy hopping over a fence on their horses and riding into town*
Emmet: *groans* Lucy I am so, so sorry
Lucy *confused*: What for?
Emmet: You'll see
Emmet: Hey uh, listen do you think you could explain to me about why I'm dressed like this, what those big words in the sky were all about and like where we are in time?
Wyldstyle: *scoffs, the horse snorts with an eye roll*
*The scene opens on a busy Bricksburg day, then pans through the old west, and shows many different LEGO boxes*
Wyldstyle: Your home Bricksburg is one of many realms in the universe. There's also this one, Pirate's Cove, Knight's Club, Vikings Landing, Clown Town, a bunch of others we don't need to mention.
Emmet: Mm-hmm
Wyldstyle: Lord Business or as you think you know him President Business, stole the Kragle the most powerful object in the universe *her voice gets drowned out as romantic music plays*
*Bricksburg fall out of their seats in hysterics*
Batman: *laughing* Oh man, talk about being bitten by the lovebug. What'd you do Emmet? Stumble into their nest?
Vitruvius: That is just sad *chuckles*
Benny: *laughing* LOVESHIP! I mean SPAC *he can't "correct" himself before falling back into laughter*
*Lucy gently dongs him over the head with her claw*
Lucy *amused*: What am I going to do with you Brickowski?
*Emmet sinks into his seat, wishing he got buried with the Pice of Resistance*
Wyldstyle *daydream*/reality: Blah, blah, blah, proper name, place name, backstory stuff The Piece of Resistance is The Special
Emmet: Mm-hmm
Wyldstyle: I'm so pretty, I like you but I'm angry with you for some reason.
Emmet: Mm-hmm
Wyldstyle *reality*: …Office Tower at the end of the universe, put the Piece of Resistance onto the Kragle and disarm it forever.
Emmet: Great. I think I got it but just in case. Tell me the whole thing again I wasn't listening.
Wyldstyle: *scoffs, her horse rolls its eyes with a whinny*
*the scene goes to a group of people with a very familiar spaceman*
Benny: HEY THAT'S ME!
Wyldstyle: Okay all the people of the universe were once free to travel and mingle and build whatever they wanted *scene changes to Business growing angrier until he growls and flames shoot up behind him* But President Business was confused by all the chaos, so he erected walls between the worlds and became obsessed with order and perfection and he stole the mysterious super weapon called.
*cuts to a shot of him stealing the Kragle after his fight with Vitruvius*
Business: The Kragle!
*the scene changes to him in his boardroom pointing at Bad Cop. Who then with his robots begin to arrest people in Bricksburg*
Wyldstyle: And he hired Bad Cop to hunt down all the Masterbuilders who were always changing everything, and those of us who remained. We went in hiding and built the tunnels to survive.
*back to Wyldstyle* and we searched for the Piece of Resistance, the only thing that can stop the Kragle.
Emmet: Kragle *dismounts* I know that, it might have been that cop, he said something about the Kragle. "President Business is going to use the Kragle to end the world in 3 days" I can't make any sense of it *Wyldstyle, having begun to use a hand fan to blend in stops in her tracks.*
Wyldstyle: Taco Tuesday! I knew that was suspicious, there's no time to lose. We must find Vitruvius and get to the Office Tower before it's too late!
Emmet: Okay *chuckles* how scary can someone's office be?
Emmet: *sweatdrop* The question "How Scary" The Answer? "Very much so"
(HAPPY NEW YEAR. Wow I did not think for a second this fic would get as much attention as it did. Thank You. Now this chapter may be short but I'm doing it scene by scene so some scenes are long some scenes are short
See you in 2015
