LEGO Universe belongs to the LEGO Company.
An adolescent boy slowly opens his eyes, slowly starting to wake up. As he does, he realizes more and more that he is in a place he doesn't recognize. Pine trees can be seen grown high into the sky while tall grass surrounds the boy. Yet, there was something peculiar about the forest.
The sky wasn't the normal shade of blue that he was used to. Instead, it was colored a dark shade of purple. A rather big contrast to the dim light-blue glow the trees and the grass gave off. This wasn't something the boy was used to.
What? Where the heck am I? He asked himself as he sat up, taking the time to analyze his environment. Is this a dream? This isn't like the other dreams that I have been having the previous nights. The boy pushed himself off the ground and got on his feet, brushing some strands of his short black hair out of his face's way.
"Hello? Is anyone out there?" The boy heard, recognizing the male voice.
"Armando?" He whispered to himself, beginning his way towards the voice. He cautiously approached it, as one would do in an unknown area.
The boy followed the voice to the edge of the forest, which turned out to be an island suspended in the air. On closer observation, more floating islands were also visible, albeit far from here. Looking down the edge of the island, the boy saw a swirling vortex far below all of the islands, producing what looked like dark clouds from its bright center.
"What?" The boy said to himself, somehow vaguely recognizing some of this world he found himself in.
"Andrew? Is that you?" The voice said again, this time close. The owner of the voice slowly came out from behind one of the trees, revealing another adolescent boy with brown hair and medium skin color.
The other boy, now known as Andrew, sighed in relief. "Looks like I'm not alone here," he said in reply to Armando's question.
Soon afterward, five more people their age came to where they are, attracted by the two boys' voices.
One boy has neat, short black hair and fair skin color. He also wears eyeglasses.
Another boy has neat, short brown hair and very fair skin color.
The third boy has the same hair and skin color as the second boy, but his hair is curly and a bit messier.
The fourth boy also has black hair combed to the side and fair skin color.
The only girl out of the seven teenagers has white skin color, green eyes, and blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She also dons eyeglasses.
Andrew recognized all of them respectively as Jacob, Tynan, Aidan, Christian, and Liliana.
"Does anyone know where the heck we are?" Tynan asked.
"No clue," Liliana replied.
"Actually, I'm not sure why, but I recognize this place," Andrew spoke.
"So what is this place?" Jacob asked.
"I'm not entirely sure. I could've sworn that I've seen something like this in a video game or something."
Suddenly, a new person approached the group from the forest. It was strangely in the shape of a LEGO Minifigure. Its body is light-blue and slightly translucent, giving off the same glow as the trees and the grass. It had no visible mouth, but its eyes were lighter than its body. A circle is shown in the middle of its torso, several smaller circles being seen inside of the bigger circle.
"This world used to be so beautiful," the Minifigure said with a female voice in a sad tone. It caught the attention of the group, the teenagers turning to face it. "That was until everything fell apart."
"Who are you?" Aidan asked.
"Wait...are you a Mythran?" Andrew asked.
"I guess I should've expected you to recognize my kind since you used to work with us," the Mythran said.
"So this is supposed to be LEGO Universe?"
"Correct."
"Why are we here, then?" This time it was Armando's turn to ask.
"Because all of you are part of something big. Something that will bring the entire multiverse together."
"Oh God, we became protagonists, didn't we?" Jacob muttered.
"Apparently," Christian replied.
"You're joking us, right? We're just a bunch of teens trying to get through life," Andrew pointed out.
The Mythran sighed. "That's what I'm worried about, yet the prophecy doesn't lie about you,"
"What prophecy?" Liliana asked.
"I can go into detail, but it's already nearly time for you to wake up." As if on cue, Andrew's vision started to darken. He started to waver, and he noticed his friends doing the same. "Listen to me, the Maelstrom is at your world, searching for you."
"You need to survive."
At those words, Andrew fully blacked out, a faint ringing noise reaching his eardrums as he lost consciousness.
And so it begins. Sorry, it took a while to post. Writer's block, roleplaying, gaming, and school got in the way. Just a note, I have this fanfiction posted on not only this website but on another website called Sonic Stadium Message Boards. It's where I have done a lot of roleplaying and interacting lately. You should check it out while you can. Anyways, I'm in the zone right now so I might publish more often. With all that said, I'll see you next chapter!
