We gathered our pieces, instructions, and hyperdrive, and gathered on the deck. "Okay, everyone, remember to follow the instructions very carefully!" I called.
The Master Builders sighed, but I knew they were ready. "Alright, everyone, we need a blue two piece unit over-" I looked down at Unikitty building a set of flowers on a rainbow pot. "Unikitty! You're supposed to follow the instructions!" She looked at her flowers, smiled at me, and wiggled a little bit. "Sorry!"
"Oh, this is terrible." Wyldstyle said a little later. "This is so devastating!"
"What am I even supposed to-?" Batman asked. He threw a piece at a small pile in frustration.
After a while of motivation and good word to all the Master Builders, we finally got the ship done. "Step 2," I said, "we have to drive the ship past the tower's super dangerous, but also kind of cool, laser gate. Benny, Batman, that's your job! The rest of us will hide inside the ship, allowing you to get past security. Then we'll be inside."
"Right!" Benny cheered.
"Step three, we'll break into Lord Business' tower and pilfer his relic room for disguises. Wyldstyle and I will try to blend in with the crowd of robots. All of us need a disguise."
"Roger!" Unikitty said, saluting.
"Step four, Benny and Metal Beard will make their way to the Master Control room. This is where you guy s will control the power."
"Aye, aye, maytey!" Metal Beard said.
"Once you're inside, you'll disable the force field around the Kragle," I continued.
"Yessir!" Benny exclaimed.
"Step five, Vitruvius will be our lookout, to make sure we aren't being followed," I added.
"Okay," Vitruvius said.
"Are you sure?" Batman questioned. "The man's blind!"
"Trust me," I said, smiling. "I know what he can do." Batman stared at me but said nothing else about it. "Step six, Unikitty and Batman will go inside the Board Room to make a final change to Lord Business' plan. Unikitty will go in with a disguise that says 'I am a manager of a large company and you should trust my ideas on money use.'"
"Got it!" Unikitty cheered.
"Batman will go in dressed as Bruce Wayne and-"
"Bruce Wayne?" Batman asked, laughing a little. "Who's that? He sounds like a cool guy."
We all stare at him, even Unikitty. I know who Bruce Wayne is, he's Batman's alter ego. He took Batman to save Gotham City from Joker, his arch nemesis. Seems he doesn't want us to know, but I think we all do, by the way we're all looking at him.
"What do we do in there?" Unikitty asked, changing the subject back to the plan.
"In there, I want you to give him a new idea for a speaker," I replied.
"Why a speaker?" Wyldstyle asked.
"That way, you and I have to deliver it and get to the Kragle room. All new deliveries get taken past it. If we can distract the robots enough with a new speaker, we should be able to sneak right on in."
"Good call, Emmet," Vitruvius said, proudly.
"Thank you," I said.
"Once the instructions are printed, Wyldstyle and I will enter the Kragle room to put the things on the other things and save the universe." I pointed to a picture on the wall, checking just to make sure that I pointed to the right one. This one has me, smiling, with the Piece of Resistance on my back, attached to the Kragle. Except there's an explosion around it. "Hey, woah, I didn't draw that," I said. "Is that me exploding?"
"Yeah, I may have forgot to mention, the Kragle may explode when the Piece is reunited with it," Vitruvius said.
"But, it might not, right?" I asked.
"Sure, sure, sure, let's go with that," Vitruvius said.
"Alright, everyone good with that plan?" I asked.
The group cheered. I smiled. I think this is going to go really well! This might actually work!
"Alright, everyone! Into the Octan ship! And remember your part! Stay quiet in the back!"
Benny and Batman climbed into the front of the ship. Metal Beard made his body smaller and crawled into the back. Wyldstyle, Unikitty, and I climbed into the back after Metal Beard. I banged on the inside of the ship. That is Benny's cue to take off. He took off and we traveled in silence for a while to the Octan Tower.
It was hard to hear anything that happened outside the ship, but by the sounds of it, we got inside. Benny pulled the ship to a stop and opened the back for us. "To the Relic Room!" Benny whispered. We all crawled out and went into his Relic Room.
I found some weird metal foil, which I suggested we use to Wyldstyle. She was reluctant until I told her we could easily rip it off. She agreed and we covered ourselves in it, to make ourselves look like the robots. I checked it everyone was good before Wyldstyle and I headed to the Delivery Room.

"First rule of the sea, 'Never place your rear end on a pirate's face,'" Metal Beard said, smiling at Benny.
