It took a while for them to get out of Bricksburg's gravity, but they finally managed to do so; leaving Emmet free to move around. Though by 'move around', it was more like 'float around'.
Emmet slowly floated above Wyldstyle, saying, "This is really weird…I still haven't gotten used to flying…"
"How long is this going to take, Wyldstyle?" asked Zeon; having a good hold on the console, despite being strapped down in a seat.
"It won't take long at all; we just have to keep an eye out until we're within landing distance of Mars," said Wyldstyle, tapping a few flashing controls that constantly fed her data.
A groan from behind them caused them all to turn their heads around; expect for Emmet, since he was already facing that direction when the groan came from the source.
Laval was waking up; he shifted slightly on the stretcher, slowly lifting one of his hands up and rubbing the side of his mane as he lifted his upper torso up. He looked around, before his half-opened eyes and asked, "Where am I?"
"You're on a spaceship, Laval," said Emmet, pushing off of the roof of the spaceship to move towards Laval; who had just started to notice that he had started to float up from the stretcher he had been resting on.
Obviously, now that he was awake, the stretcher seemed to know this, and released him from the restraints that were around him while he was in space.
Turning around slightly to get a look at the front of the space ship, and when he saw that it was Wyldstyle in the pilot's seat.
"W…What did you do to me?" he asked softly, before he started to move his arms out to make sure that he could stay upright. Though now that they were in space, no-one even knew what upright was anymore.
All of the others turned to face Wyldstyle; the parkour Master Builder looking back at all of them with a blank expression, before she turned around to face the front again, keeping her eyes forward as she answered, her tone rather sombre.
Far too sombre for anyone's liking; especially Emmet's.
"I did what had to be done. And at that moment, that was all that could be done to get you into the space station," answered Wyldstyle, pressing one of the buttons on the control panel in front of her.
The actions of this button were shown when the sounds of the engines were slowed down, and one of the screens on the control panel showed that the solar panels were closing over the top of the shuttle.
"We won't make it otherwise; we've barely got half a tank of fuel," said Wyldstyle, turning around in her chair before she pressed another button to her left.
Instantly, Emmet went from floating in mid-air to landing face first on the ground, groaning a little in pain as he slowly pushed himself to his feet again.
"Anti-Gravity Gravity Generator," Wyldstyle said simply, before she got to her feet and she walked towards Laval. Though before she reached the Chimaian, she reached into one of the storage boxes and pulled out something.
"The Energy Sensor," said Emmet softly under his breath, reminding himself of what Wyldstyle had said much earlier.
Wyldstyle pressed a few buttons and she looked it over for a few seconds, before she approached the console again and she gathered several wires from under the console, and plugged the Sensor into the main console.
One of the screens flickered into pixels for a few seconds before it turned into an 80's-style TV screen trying to tune into the right channel. After a few seconds, the screen reflected the screen that was the Sensor.
"Alright, we've lost one of the crystals, so we can take that one off," said Wyldstyle, pressing a button on the sensor, which faded the dark grey wriggly line on the screen. "That leaves just the last two Trinity Crystals for us to find before Anti-Builder does," said Wyldstyle, pointing to the other two wriggly lines; one dark red, and the other a dark shade of green.
"We've still got to figure out what that last line is," pointed out Perri, gesturing to the mysterious extra line that had been area since the Sensor had first been turned on.
"I don't know…I've been thinking about it for some time now, but nothing I've thought out adds up," said Wyldstyle, scratching the back of her hair slightly as she and the others all looked at the mysterious extra line; though now, it had taken on a slight shade of faded gold.
Though they didn't have long to look at the screen, since a few minutes later, a massive explosion rocked the entire ship, sending the figures standing to the floor, the entire cockpit getting soaked in a light red light; a sign of warning.
"What's happening?!" asked Laval in alarm, looking around wildly as he scrambled to his feet again, just as Wyldstyle scrambled to her feet again, getting back into the seat as she tapped several buttons, looking over several of the screens before one of the sensors turned into a sonar-like sensor, a large red blip appearing to their far right.
"Uh-oh…we've got company," said Zeon, tightening his grip on the side of the console as the blip grew closer to them.
They all looked forward through the front windows of the spaceship, and all of their eyes slowly widened in shock and surprise.
Slowly moving in front of them, there was a large space ship flying into their line of sight; it was a long, thin space ship with light grey external. This ship was by far larger than the space ship they were in, since the front sides of the ship were covered in little lights, making the space ship seem impossibly small in comparison. There were dark blue accents on the ship, with what looked like the control centre at the very back of the ship, standing above the rest of the ship.
"Oh boy…" said Wyldstyle under her breath, her eyes wide in shock at the sight before her.
"You could say that again…" muttered Emmet, looking across the length of the windows to get all of the space ship to see if he could see the entire ship opposing them. But he couldn't; the ship in front of them wasn't big enough for them to see the entire ship.
"The Conquistador…" whispered Wyldstyle softly.
Emmet and Laval gave her a strange look, while Perri and Zeon both looked at one another in slight alarm.
"Sister ship to the Malevolence, the Flagship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' General Grievous…a notorious Separatist leader during the Clone Wars," informed Wyldstyle.
Emmet blinked in surprise, and opened his mouth to say something. But Laval beat him to it.
"You sounded a lot like Chase just then," said Laval bluntly.
Just as Emmet closed his mouth again, the entire ship was rocked again, a massive explosion going off to the side of the ship, causing a couple of alarms to go off.
"We've losing the fuel tanks!" shouted Perri in alarm, before what remained of the fuel tank sailed past the cockpit window.
On board The Conquistador, as several Battle Droids worked the controls of the sister Flagship, locking onto the space ship, a figure walked forward, looking at the space shuttle in front of the ship.
It was the Alien Commander.
"Fire all weaponry," ordered the Alien Commander in his alien language, pointing at the tiny space ship in front of the ship.
"Roger, roger," said a Droid, before several buttons were pressed by several droids at once.
At the sides of the ship, several small hatches open up, revealing war heads. Rockets propelled them forward, out of the ship's rocket bays and headed directly towards the space ship.
Seeing several smaller blips on the radar, and seeing the small rockets heading towards them through the window, Wyldstyle, alarm in her voice, as she shouted, "Everybody! Run! To the escape pod!"
"We have an escape pod?" asked Emmet with a raised eyebrow, before Wyldstyle grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the cockpit, with the others following swiftly after them; Laval slamming the cockpit door close after him, before running after the Master Builders.
Wyldstyle ran ahead, before reaching the escape pod's door and tapped a few keys on the control pad next to the door, opening up with a hiss of air.
"Get it!" shouted Wyldstyle, the other piling into the escape pod. She ran in last, tapping a final key before entering. The door closed behind them, before Wyldstyle tapped on the console that was in the escape pod.
Instantly, the escape pod shot off from the side of the rocket, the rockets propelling it out of the way of the space ship.
And just in time.
The rockets hit the space ship, explosions going off in every direction. The space ship was ripped apart from the force of the explosions, the front half getting thrown out of sight, and the back of end, with the rockets still getting powered by the panels.
As one of the solar panels flew past the glass on the side of the escape pods, Wyldstyle finally realised something.
"The Energy Sensor…it was on board the ship," she whispered, resting her head in her hands slowly.
Emmet looked around, and realised that Wyldstyle was right; he had last seen the Energy Sensor plugged into the space ship's console.
"We'll find a way to find the Crystals; we have to. The worlds rely on it," said Perri kindly, gently patting Wyldstyle's shoulder comfortingly.
Emmet and Laval looked at one another, before they looked out of the window. They watched the Conquistador, wondering if they had noticed that they had escaped into the escape pod, or whether they thought that the escape pod was launched by accident.
"How do you think till we get to Mars?" asked Emmet.
"I think the better question is, will we survive when we land?" Laval asked in return, turning Emmet's head around to where he was looking.
And sure enough, there it was.
The Red Brick Planet.
And they were heading straight for it.
