Rex ran upstairs, looking around.
"This place is huge. It's hard believe the whole thing was constructed from magic."
He thought for a moment, "...The control room...I'll find it. It has be be somewhere close by. I have to be sneaky about it though. Caylus could be anywhere."
Rex walked through the halls quietly. Eventually finding the said control room.
He looked up at the control panel, going up to it.
"...confusing. But, I'll find it. Let's see."
Rex looked over the buttons, he moved forward to press it, but then was suddenly frozen in place. A purple light glowed around him.
"You really think I wouldn't notice you here. This is my dimension after all." Caylus chuckled, "Aww, what happened? I gave you everything you wanted."
"I wanted it then...but it was wrong. I'm Rex Dangervest now. The toughest guy anyone will ever know. I'll make my own future." Rex replied, his tone serious.
"You took my gift and spat upon it? Fine then, you had your chance. Now, everything will fall apart once again."
"...Answer me this. How did you manage to bring me back? You planned on using me...and now that your plan has failed...can you get rid of me?" Rex questioned.
"How?" Caylus paused, "Well, it's a bit hard to explain. Emmet has dreams of you…and because I monitored them, and saw exactly what happened to you, I was able to bring you back with manipulation of time and space. As long as you've existed once before, you can be brought back. Think of it like...a glitch in the system."
"A glitch in the system?" Rex questioned, "So, if I exist once...I can exist again but with hard to achieve manipulation?"
"Correct."
"...Interesting. You're smarter than I thought."
Caylus sighed, "But now what do I do with you...you are right. You're of no use to me anymore. I could make you never exist again...or I can keep you here to suffer with Emmet." Caylus paused, "Or I can do thinks the old fashioned way...and force you to be Emmet against your will. That was my original plan after all."
"You can't do that to me, I've told you I'm way too strong...especially now that I can see past my wants of the things I lost before. You'll have no effect on me." Rex responded, his tone bitter.
"That may be true...but even so, the entirety of Syspocalypstar is under my power. How are you planning to dispel it from all of the area?"
"You have a weakness I'm sure."
Rex sighed.
"Caylus...you were lonely like me. You're the 'bad guy' like me. You're right. We aren't so different, but if I changed...why can't you? We could use another radical magic user with us, that would be sick." Rex smirked.
Caylus growled, "Are you inviting me to be friends...with you? That's a stupid request."
"Caylus, look...you can keep all this, but do you really need to ruin Emmets life when he can make up for it? Surely, knowing Emmet, he can give you something way better. After being alone all those years...doesn't a friend sound nice?"
Caylus looked down.
"Caylus, if you're anything like me...and hurting because of it...those wounds will eventually heal. A better future is ahead for both of us. Please, do what's right." Rex smiled.
Caylus sighed, "...You have your way with words. Like Emmet did with Business back then. You really are one in the same."
Rex shook his head, "I'm Rex Dangervest. Emmet no longer exists in me...but that doesn't mean I can't continue to learn and try to be like him."
Caylus chuckled, "What a terrible way to give up, being talked out of it by the future self of my own enemy. You...aren't half bad Rex."
Rex could move again, he turned to Caylus.
"Go ahead, release Emmet. I'll also return everyone's memories back to normal...I'll reconstruct Syspocalypstar as it was."
"Caylus, what about you?"
"What about me?"
"I think even if you aren't planning on being friends...then you should at least apologize, right?"
Caylus nodded, "Yeah...perhaps…"
Rex nodded, pressing the button.
Emmet's cell door opened.
He smiled, running out of it and going to Rex. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Caylus.
Caylus looked at Emmet. "...I was blind. Look, I went without thinking, and I wanted you to suffer...but that just means I'd end up being alone. I don't want that...so, Emmet...will you accept an apology from me?"
Emmet smiled, "Of course! We can even be friends."
Caylus chuckled, "Didn't expect you to actually forgive me."
"Caylus, I'd forgive anyone. Especially someone who's hurting. If I can forgive Rex, I can very well forgive you too."
"...Thank you, Brickowski."
Emmet still kept his smile, looking to Rex.
"How about we head back to Syspocalypstar and set things right? And if course...introduce you to the others."
"I'd like that, Kid."
Days passed, and Syspocalypstar was cheerful once again.
Rex definitely wasn't used to it yet, but he hoped he would eventually adjust.
"So, Emmet...how have you and Lucy been doing since this...whole thing happened?" Rex asked.
"We've never been better. Lucy and I love our house, and our friends who were absolutely overjoyed when we joined with the Systar System."
"I'm glad to hear that…" Rex looked down.
"...Rex, you're still upset about Lucy, right?"
"No, Kid. You can have her...I understand how much you love her. Besides, Lucy is not my style anymore."
"Really?" Emmet laughed, "Then what is your style."
"Hmm." Rex thought for a moment, "Maybe a cute, yet clumsy in a way girl. She'd have to be drop dead gorgeous...yet have a good heart to guide her."
"Wow, Rex. Very descriptive." Emmet smiled.
"Well, I'm trying to find a change of pace. The cool usually likes the cute? No?"
"That is the case actually."
Rex chuckled, observing the world around him.
"...I still can't believe I'm back."
"Me neither, but I'm really glad you are!" Emmet smiled brightly.
Rex gave a smirk, "Me too, Kid. Maybe then...I can see how you actually grow up."
Unikitty ran past, "Na na! You can't catch me!"
"Unikitty, Wait! You know I'm in heels!"
A female voice responded, as she ran forward, eventually losing her balance.
Rex caught her from the fall.
"Thank you." She smiled, pushing her long hair back, before she continued to run after Unikitty.
"...Who was that?" Rex questioned.
"Oh, she's new. Unikitty's friend...she ruled her own island once before it was destroyed during the DUPLO attacks. She's a princess." Emmet replied.
"Princess?"
"Uh Huh! Beautiful isn't she?"
Rex blushed, "...Yeah."
Emmet looked over at Rex, he chuckled.
"W-what?"
"Nothing." Emmet continued to laugh, "Just a crush perhaps…"
"H-huh?"
Emmet walked off, "Oh, princess! I think my friend has a crush on you!"
Rex laughed, "Oh, you're dead, Brickowski."
Emmet ran, Rex following not far behind.
