This chapter features the part where Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf rebuild the Gateway after it exploded, but I'm gonna be adding something new.
In the dimension known as Vorton, a dimensional gateway has been activated. A rift opens and drops off Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf. The latter two fell on their faces while the Dark Knight landed on his feet. Suddenly, the gateway started to shake. Batman turns around and notices. After a few more seconds, the gateway explodes, sending the trio flying. Pieces of the gateway are scattered across the room, while five oval-shaped, purple objects with symbols on them are sucked into the rift before it vanished.
Wyldstyle gets back on her feet and says to Batman, "Well, I don't quite know what you did, but we're still alive."
Gandalf was lying flat on his face. After grunting, he questions, "Are you sure?"
"This technology looks advanced," said Batman, looking at the pad of the shattered gateway. "My guess? That gateway created the rift that brought us here."
Gandalf picks himself up and asks, "Uh, which gateway?"
"It self-destructed. It's in pieces," said Batman.
Gandalf, using his wand as a source of light, looks around and found the pieces of the gateway. "Hmm... then perhaps..."
"We should rebuild it," finished Wyldstyle.
"So, where do we start?" asked Gandalf.
Batman looks around until he saw something. It seemed to be a security device locking something underneath it. He started investigating.
While Batman works, Gandalf turns to Wyldstyle. "So, my dear, who might you be?"
"Wyldstyle," answered the tomboy.
"And, of course, you already know both our names," said Gandalf. "Obviously, where you come from, you have a Batman as well. But may I ask how you come to know who I am?"
"Where I come from, we also have a Gandalf," answered Wyldstyle.
"Odd," replied Gandalf.
"It sure is," said Wyldstyle. "I guess there other LEGO worlds I haven't heard of yet."
"LEGO?" asked Gandalf, confused.
"You don't know what LEGO is?" asked Wyldstyle, also confused. "LEGO bricks are what make up, well, everything. The people. The buildings. The lands. You can create just about anything with LEGO bricks."
"I always wondered why young folks at home manage to transform one object to another by dismantling it," said Gandalf. "This one time, I witnessed a Halfling turn a table into a barrel."
"I take you haven't built anything yourself," guessed Wyldstyle.
"No, I have not," said Gandalf.
"Well, I'll teach you," offered Wyldstyle. "You have magic, right? You can use that to build all kind of things."
Gandalf turns his head and looks at the Dark Knight. "Batman, would you like to take up on our new friend's offer?"
"No need," answered Batman. "I already know how to build."
Batman reaches into his utility belt and takes out what appears to be a big makeshift gun.
"Is that a gun?" asked Wyldstyle. "I thought Batman doesn't use guns. Or are you a Batman who 'does' use guns?"
"This isn't a gun," said Batman. "It's a Remote Electrical Charge."
"And it does what?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Just watch," said Batman.
Batman stands back a few feet away from the security device. He aims his gun at the device and pulls the trigger. The gun fires an electric charge at the device, short-circuiting it. The security device collapses, releasing a flight of stairs. Batman walks up the stairs and found pieces of the gateway stuck on the wall. Using an explosive Batarang, he blows up the wall and releases the pieces.
"Was that necessary, Batman?" asked Gandalf.
Batman turns around and glares at Gandalf.
"Never mind," said Gandalf, intimidated by the Dark Knight's stare.
"Okay, let's make this pile a lot less messy," said Wyldstyle.
Using her Master Builder skills, Wyldstyle collects all the pieces and assembles them into a random object.
"So, where do we find the other pieces?" asked Gandalf.
"Spread out and search," said Batman.
Five seconds after splitting up, Wyldstyle called everyone.
"I found something!" she said.
Batman and Gandalf walk towards Wyldstyle. She was looking at a switch that hovered 15 feet in the air.
"How are we going to get up there?" asked Gandalf. "There's only so much I can do in my age."
"Leave that to me," said Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle makes a running start and jumps. She jumps so high that she reaches the switch. She started pulling it down until she activated something. A pair of walls facing each other rise from the floor. The walls had colorful arrows pointing up.
"Try not to look too amazed," said Wyldstyle, preparing.
Wyldstyle started jumping left and right, leaping from one wall to another. She does this until she finally reached the top of a platform.
"Such an agile fellow, you are," complimented Gandalf, amazed.
Wyldstyle looks at Batman.
"You want to be honest?" Batman crossed his arms. "That was impressive."
Wyldstyle bows, feeling proud of herself. She found more pieces stuck on the wall. She breaks them by hitting them and kicks them off the platform. She jumps down and lands safely on her feet. She then uses her Master Builder skills to assemble the pile into another random object.
"I see more pieces up there," said Gandalf, using his staff to point at said pieces.
"I can't jump that high," said Wyldstyle.
Batman turns his head and saw the same platform that hid a flight of stairs, minus the security device.
"I think I can manage that," said Gandalf.
Using his magic, Gandalf opened the hatch and released the stairs. He walks up the stairs and reached the platform on top, where he found more pieces of the gateway. He uses his magic to remove them from the wall and slowly lowers them to the ground. Gandalf walks down the stairs and stares at the pile.
"Well, what are you waiting for, Gandalf? Build something," said Wyldstyle.
"Won't I need instructions of some sort?" asked Gandalf.
"You don't need instructions," said Wyldstyle. "Besides, we're not making anything specific. We're just assembling these at random until I figure which part goes where. This could be a good start for you."
"Well, what should I do?" asked Gandalf.
"Just focus," answered Wyldstyle.
Gandalf did as Wyldstyle said and focused on the pile of pieces. He waves his wand and raises the objects in the air. After concentrating hard enough, he assembles the pieces into a random object.
"Nice job," complimented Wyldstyle.
"I guess someone of my age has more to learn," said Gandalf.
"Alright, we've gathered all the pieces for the gateway," said Batman. "Wyldstyle, I believe it's your time to shine again."
Wyldstyle carefully observes the three random objects and the pad of the gateway. She gets into Master Builder mode and started building. She used the first object (made from the pieces found by Batman) to build the lower half of the gateway. She used the second object (made from the pieces she found) to build the control panel of the pad. She used the third object (made from the pieces Gandalf found) to build the upper half of the gateway.
The assembling of the gateway activated something. Rising from the floor is some kind of treadmill.
Wyldstyle takes out her relic scanner and scans it. "Okay, I got good news and bad news. The good news is that this treadmill will power the gateway. The bad news is that it's a treadmill for cars."
"What's a car?" asked Gandalf.
"Never mind that," said Batman.
"Maybe we can build a car out of some spare parts here," suggested Wyldstyle.
"Leave it to me," said Batman.
Batman found some spare parts lying around, as well as some stuck to the walls. He frees them using explosive Batarangs. He started building. Wyldstyle and Gandalf watched in anticipation. Batman finished and stepped aside to show the others what he built. It was a small black vehicle decorated with metallic bats.
"Is that... the Batmobile?" asked Wyldstyle.
"A smaller version of it," clarified Batman. "There isn't enough parts here to build a bigger one, but this'll do."
Batman hops onto the vehicle and drives it towards the treadmill. The car runs on the treadmill, charging up the power cells. After the power cells are fully charged, the Batmobile accidentally smashes the treadmill. On the bright side, the energy within the power cells are being transferred to the gateway, powering it up. A few seconds later, the gateway opens a rift.
A robotic voice coming from the controls of the gateway says, "Re-routing from back-up. All systems are go. Limited system functionality restored."
"'Limited system functionality'? Am I gonna lose an arm if I go through that thing?" wondered Wyldstyle, worried.
The gateway started to shake again.
"It does look unstable," noticed Batman. "It's incomplete. There were five pieces attached to the gateway. When it exploded, the rift sucked them in. They must've been important."
"Well, it seems to be... alive, at least," said Gandalf, adjusting his hat.
Wyldstyle takes out her Relic Scanner and points it at the gateway. "My Relic Scanner's showing that there's definitely something through there."
"Could it be leading us to the missing bricks?" wondered Gandalf.
"Probably," replied Batman.
"Or MetalBeard?" said Wyldstyle optimistically.
"Probably," said Batman.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the rift. Whoever it was, he was screaming. "Aaaaaar!"
Wyldstyle recognizes the voice. "That's MetalBeard! He's in trouble. Or he's happy. He uses 'Aar' for a lot things. Either way, we have to find him."
I thought there was no harm in the characters getting to know each other.
