A/N: Hello all. here is the fifth chapter for my story.
It was morning when Emmet woke. He got out of the bed that he had made in the tree hut he had constructed out of spare parts the night before. The sun was up, its rays shining through the window that was just above my bed.
"How you this morning, Em?"
"Good," Emmet replied when he realised that Lucy was sitting on the edge of his bed.
"What you did last night was amazing," Lucy stated matter-of-factly, "But you kind of blacked out after swinging on to the deck next to me."
"Oh," Emmet lay back, before shooting up, "What happened last night after I blacked out."
Lucy looked at her feet for a few minutes before looking at Emmet.
"I brought you in here and slept with you," Lucy explained, "just to make sure that you were okay."
Emmet got up out of his bed and hugged Lucy. They sat there for a while, Emmet holding Lucy tightly and Lucy leaning against Emmet's shoulder.
"Thank you," Emmet said, "Thank you for making sure I was safe."
Lucy mummed something into Emmet's shoulder, before kissing Emmet's check.
"How about breakfast?" Lucy asked, "I'll make it, if you want."
"Nah, I'll do it," Emmet said, "But if you want you can help."
Emmet and Lucy walked into the kitchen of the tree hut and began to make their breakfast. As they did, Emmet turned the radio on. As soon as he did, Everything is Awesome started to play. Emmet started to hum along, occasionally glancing sideways at Lucy.
Lucy didn't mind though. To start with she found it extremely irritating to listen to, but she soon realised that it was probably best to just let Emmet listen to the song, no matter how annoying it was to her.
Half way through the song though it was interrupted by a news anchor, who had some very disturbing news.
"I am truly sorry to interrupt your usual radio songs," started the News Anchor, "But I have some terrible news to give to the citizens of Bricksburg and the rest of the LEGO realms.
It was discovered last night that our beloved President Business has been taken from his office at Octan Tower. The Police have several suspects that they have started to chase after, but Good Cop/Bad Cop has given this statement:
"I believe whoever kidnapped the president is a very capable person. We believe that we may even be against a criminal origination that might have been behind several others. Whoever did this very good and maybe hard to catch.
"Any help would be welcome, so if anyone knows someone who has been disappearing often lately, then please come forwards. Thank you."
"There you have it. Our very own chief of police has asked for any information that can lead to the apprehension and arrest of those who were involved with the President Business' kidnapping. Thank you for your time."
The original radio station was back within a minute of the news feed finishing, but neither Emmet nor Lucy were listening. Instead Emmet was leaning against the bench, while Lucy tried to save what was left of their breakfast.
"What's happening?"
Lucy looked up, and found Emmet holding his elbows. She quickly finished what she was doing before wrapping her arms around Emmet's shoulders. The young Master Builder looked upset, but also looked like he was about to blame himself for what happened.
"Whatever you're thinking," Lucy said, "I don't think it was your fault."
"I don't know," Emmet said, shaking his head, "Don't you think that…"
"Don't, just don't," Lucy stated, "It was just a weird coincidence. That's all."
"Okay," Emmet said, nodding his head slightly.
Lucy then dished the surviving parts of their breakfast onto two plates before sitting them down on a table that was outside. When she came back with cups in her hands, she noticed that Emmet was staring towards Mt Cavora.
Then she heard a low, almost inaudible, humming sound coming from the Special's direction. When Lucy looked closely, Lucy noticed that he was playing around with several smaller bricks that he carried around in his pocket.
"Breakfast is ready," Lucy stated.
Emmet put the bricks back into his pocket before turning towards the table. He slowly sat down, picking up a fork when he was in his seat. Lucy watched as Emmet picked at his food, not really eating.
"You alright?" Lucy asked, worry lacing her voice.
"Hm," Emmet looked up, "Not really I guess."
"Still thinking about…" Lucy asked, letting the unfinished question hang there.
"Kinda," Emmet explained, "I guess I'm worried for Business. Who knows where he is."
"Let's just concentrate on having a good time now," Lucy said, "once we have finished this weekend of ours, then we can sort it out with the other Master Builders."
Emmet brightened up considerably after that, and began to eat his breakfast with renewed enthusiasm.
Once they were finished Emmet took the dishes into the kitchen and started to clean them. As he did so, he hummed happily to himself. Lucy came into the kitchen and helped with the dishes and the young couple soon found themselves sitting on the deck together.
They were like that for some time, sitting there together and not worrying about anything else, when a flash of light appeared somewhere above Mt Cavora. This was then followed by another, then another two.
The four lights started to fall extremely fast, and headed towards the Lion Tribes Temple. Emmet and Lucy got up and ran down towards the Dragster that was parked underneath the tree hut. Emmet jumped into the back seat, whilst Lucy started the vehicle up.
"What do you think that was?" Emmet asked, "cause it can't have been anything normal."
"If it were normal, then I doubt we'd be rushing towards it," Lucy stated, "And to be honest I don't really care what it is."
Emmet sat in the back seat of the Dragster, humming to himself as Lucy drove the vehicle through the ever increasingly dense forest. As they passed trees, Emmet started to notice something increasingly disturbing – the trees were bent in the direction of the explosion, not the opposite direction like normal.
"Do think that is natural?" Emmet asked, pointing out the trees in front of them.
"That isn't possible," Lucy said, stunned, "No way is that supposed to happen to a forest when an object hits the ground at high speeds."
As they approached the centre of the strange phenomenon, the trees started to bend away from the centre of the explosion. Emmet soon realised that whatever that had just impacted in their world had somehow moved away from any signs of intelligent life.
When they reached the source of their curiosity, Lucy was forced to stop. They had reached the edge of a steep cliff, a cliff that was some ten to twenty metres down. Emmet and Lucy got out of the Dragster and walked to the edge of the cliff.
"What do we do now?" the Special asked, "That looks pretty far down."
"We slide our way down," Lucy said, fully excepting Emmet to argue.
But Emmet just said, "Alright. I'll follow after you."
Lucy jumped off the edge of the cliff and landed with a soft thump as she started to slide down the cliff. She heard Emmet slide down behind her, and when she looked up she saw a massive grin split his face.
When they reached the bottom of the cliff, Emmet was laughing. Lucy smiled as she realised that Emmet had just slide down a thirty metre cliff. Lucy didn't say anything because she wanted Emmet to figure it out himself.
"What's that?" Emmet asked, pointing towards a smoking reptile.
"It looks like a dragon," Lucy said, "but I have never seen one like that before."
Emmet and Lucy slowly approached the three craters that had formed after the strange objects had smashed into the ground. But the strange reptile that Emmet had noticed before shifted slightly and moved towards the two Master Builders.
'Who are you?' a powerful voice echoed in Lucy's and Emmet's minds, 'More importantly, what are you doing here?'
"What was that?" Emmet asked, glancing around the smoke filled crater.
'What?!' the voice echoed again, 'How dare you? I am Dragon Shadowflame, the dragon of Blaze Darkrunner, and the only legend dragon!'
"We are Master Builders," Lucy shouted into the smoke, "We don't want to cause any problems."
'Master Builders?' the voice echoed curiously, 'what are Master Builders?'
'We are the…well it's kinda hard to explain," Lucy started, "I guess we, the Master Builders, are people who have the ability to build random things out of random bricks that are just laying around the place."
'So you're like peacekeepers?' the voice asked.
"No, no, no, no," Emmet responded, "We are more like people who go around helping people who need the help. We don't really keep the peace, cause that's the police's job."
'I see,' the voice said, as the reptile shape shifted slightly.
"May we ask who you are?" the construction worker asked.
'Not here, it is too exposed and there are certain people who want my rider dead,' the voice responded, 'Do you have a safe place that we can go to and speak in private?'
Emmet and Lucy looked at each other quickly, before Emmet replied.
"If you follow us, we'll show you."
'Thank you,' the voice responded, 'can you help carry my rider's friend and sister?'
"Sure, just show us where they are," Lucy said, stepping forwards.
The reptile stood up and walked over to two of the craters that were in the ground. Emmet and Lucy followed after the large beast. When they reached the first crater they found a smallish figure with wings curled in ball at the base. Emmet slide into the crater a grabbed the young being, passing it up to Lucy.
Emmet then followed the dragon over to the other crater and helped pull out the figure that had been lying in there. The reptile then walked over to a smaller crater and brought what looked like a small glowing blue.
The reptile then placed this into Lucy's hand, before shirking into a smaller shape and landing on Emmet's shoulder. The small reptile unfurled its wings as it attempted to steady its self. Emmet then started to walk to the edge of the cliff.
'Do not bother trying to climb the cliff,' the voice said suddenly, 'just grab onto the glowing energy ball, and think of where you want to go.'
Lucy held her hand out to Emmet, and the Special held onto the female Master Builder's claw-hand, feeling the round orb in between their hands.
"On three," Lucy said, "one…two….Three!"
Emmet and Lucy both felt a strange yanking feeling as the energy orb expanded, consuming them both, before reverting back to its original size. When the two Master Builders looked around them, they realised that they were back at their little retreat in the forest.
'Rest now,' the reptile instructed, 'tomorrow my companions will be ready for your questions.'
The reptile jumped down and curled into the side of the young winged creature, after Lucy and laid it down on the couch, and started to make a strange snoring sound. Emmet lay the other figure down onto the other couch, before moving out of the lounge.
"What do we do now?" Emmet asked when he was back in his room.
"Rest I guess," Lucy replied, "It was pretty late when we arrived, so I guess that the strange voice is right in telling us to get some shut eye."
"Alright, I guess that does make some sense," Emmet said before yawning.
He then lay down on the bed and hugged Lucy close to him. The young couple fell asleep like that, without a care in the world, or any thought about the strangers that were now resting in their lounge.
