The Start of a New Day

View Online

A new era was just about to begin
The Master Builders, a group of amazing individuals who harness the ability to create anything they desire out of whatever building bricks lay among them,were also the last line of defense against evil in their world. Thanks to the fine work of Emmet, who was once just a completely positive yet non-creative nobody his whole life, ends up saving the LEGO world when helping the evil Lord Business and his top henchman, Badcop, see the error of their ways by explaining to Lord Business that the made-up Prophecy,which originally depicted Emmet himself as The Special, the greatest, most talented, most creative, most important being of all time, was at the same time true because everyone is special in their own way, that it's about everyone, but for the moment, it was about him, and that he could still change everything.

And so with that said, with the Piece of Resistance in hand, Emmet proudly watched as President Business stick the fabled yet powerful LEGO piece to the Kragle, (in reality it was a bottle of super strong Krazy Glue), the equally powerful doomsday weapon,and the reformed President Business thanks Emmet for what he's done and was just half way through a short lecture when the the Kragle blows up so greatly that the entire Mothership goes as well. With the Mothership gone, all of the Micro-Managers, Lord Business's enormous octopus-like robot army, instantly shut down. When Emmet land on the streets of Bricksburg,he's meet and cheered for by the Master Builders who helped see him through his great adventure, they include Virtruvius, Batman, Unikitty, Benny the Spaceman, Metalbeard, and of course his closest friend and ally, Wyldstyle.The whole gang,along with President Business and the now reformed Goodcop,who's in more control of his good side, were just going to chill out on Emmet's Double Decker couch when suddenly a trio a giant yet adorable creatures made up of bigger and thicker Lego bricks arrive and their leader announces in a little girl's voice, "We are here from the planet Dulpo, and we have come to destroy you". Everyone gathers completely stunned and weirded out as Emmet simply yet slowly responds: "Oh man".
-------

The fight with the Duplo creatures didn't last long, considering that their attacks and movements were that of a four year old:completely harmless. Soon afterward, The Master Builders and the people of Bricksburg came together to start cleaning up the mess around the city. Even with their amazing skill of building plenty of useful gadgets and more with any Lego pieces they need,from giant street sweepers to mobile scoop claws,it seemed as though the mess was so big, the clean-up effort might take longer than expected. As Batman and Virtruvius were halfway done with the damage done to the highway,Batman starts to get agitated.

"AHHH!! This is so lame, let's just bail out of here and let someone else put up with this huge junk-fest!",shouts Batman.

Virtruvius, who's obviously far more wiser than even Batman, simply sees fit to reason with him on the subject.

"Now calm yourself Batman, we were partially responsible for what's happened to Bricksburg, the least we can do is give these fine people a helping hand".

Batman, hating that Virtruvius has made once again a very convincing point,starts to groan as usual.

"OOOOOHHHHHH! Fine! Let's just get this over with and HOLD ON DUDE! I still don't get how you're even still alive after Lord Business killed you back at Octan tower!

"Oh that!", Virtruvius goes, "I was just faking it for dramatic effect,I bet that would've even won me an Academy Award for Best Performance!"

"More like Worst Performance", Batman adds with a small smirk on his face,"since you over did with that cheapo tone in your voice back there".

" *sigh* Figures you'd say something that negative sooner or later", said Vitruvius.

"Don't mention it", Batman says, thinking that was a complement he was given, "That's what I'm here for,now let's hurry up and get this over with so WHOA!!".

Batman was abruptly cut off by a large jet-like blue and gray spaceship going right over him and Virtruvius at breakneck speeds,flown by none other than it's creator Benny The Spaceman. Benny,thinking that it would help out in the clean-up effort, was crazily shooting at debris all over the city such as parts of fallen skyscraper and badly wrecked Micro-Managers that ceased to function,which flew apart into even smaller pieces, making an even bigger mess than there already was. Batman is getting very angry with how it's starting to look as if they hadn't even gotten started with the clean-up effort,and tries to yell some sense into Benny in his own usual way.

"HEY SPACE-MORON! QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH THAT LAME-O SHIP OF YOURS! IT"S MAKING THINGS WORSE THAN IT ALREADY WAS!!",Batman yelled.

But Benny didn't hear a single thing Batman said,as he was too busy shooting at debris with an excited look on his face,laughing like a maniac and constantly yelling out his favorite word as he flew all over the city.

"SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP!!!!",yelled Benny without a care in the world.

As Benny's ship flew by, Emmet and Wyldstyle are busy cleaning up the debris from the destroyed mother-ship with the help of one of the various mobile scoop-claws Emmet built himself,being a full-fledged Master Builder now,along with President Business,who himself was able to reactivate and re-purpose a few Micro-Managers to lend a hand...or claw.

"Boy, I'll tell ya",said Emmet,"Those Duplo things,did not see that coming".

"I'm sure no one was expecting that,Emmet",said Wyldstyle doing a little laugh in the process,"Now let's focus,the sooner we finish cleaning up the city,the sooner we can rest at last".

"You know Emmet, I'd just want to thank you again",said President Business,"for what you've done to me and Goodcop,it gives me great joy finally doing some good,even if it might take a day or two to clean this place up".

"Actually", said Emmet, "it might take all week to finish up here".

"OH COME ON!!!", Batman yelled when he heard Emmet from all the way down the street.

"Let's just hope the others are doing good enough of a job",said Wyldstyle,"otherwise it could take TWO weeks just to fix up this town".

"OHHH COME ON!!!!!!",Batman yelled once more hearing that dreadful news.

"Oh that reminds me, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern have their hands full in the south-side of town",said Emmet,"so I asked Goodcop and Unikitty to take care of the school district that's all crowded up in debris".

Sure enough, Goodcop and Unikitty were at the school district ready to do their part in the effort,but when Wyldstyle looked down the street to check on them,she was stunned to see those two playing tag with some of the kids nearby.

"Tag, you're it!", yelled Goodcop as he poked his hybrid animal princess and he and the kids were starting to run for it.

"You can't run from me!",yelled Unikitty happily as she started to chase after them. Wyldstyle turned back to Emmet with her eyebrow raised up high,and he returned an awkward look.

"Yeah I kinda stayed out of it", Emmet says casualy.

Emmet continued to dig through the debris when his own scoop-claw gets a hold of something giving off so much power that the claw blew apart the second it came into contact. He dug through deep enough and when President Business and Wyldstyle came over, they were all shocked to see what lay before them: The Piece Of Resistance, completely intact.

"How's that possible?",exclaimed Wyldstyle,"It was destroyed in that explosion along with the Kragle,you two were there when it happened".

"Yeah,I'm not sure how this happened",said Emmet,"but it's AWESOME!!",Wyldstyle sighs in response to Emmet's obvious reaction.

Emmet then calls the rest of the gang to check it out for themselves,along with Metalbeard and the other three superheroes as well,all while three other Master Builders decide to see what's all the comotion about,including Jedi-Master Yoda,The First Boy Wonder all grown up;Nightwing,and adventurer extraordinaire Indiana Jones.

"By Davy Jones Locker!! Tis the Piece of Resistance indeed!",cried Metalbeard with pride.

"A most pleasing discovery, this is indeed, my friends",said Yoda with a sense of enlightenment.

"Hold on!", yelled Indy,"Something's not right,if the Piece of Resistance survived that explosion,then that must mean...".

Indy's sentence was then cut short,along with the sense of joy in the air,when one the re-purposed Micro-Managers came to President Business with something important it found even deeper underneath the debris,something that was just as powerful as the Piece of Resistance,but far more terrifying.

"Well guys",said President Business with concern,"seems like the Piece of Resistance was DEFINITELY not the only thing to survive the explosion".

As he stepped back to show the second surviving object that is:The Kragle,intact as well.

"Okay,not trying to make things worse",said Emmet,"but that is completely NOT-awesome".

Virtruvius walked up to both objects,sensing something coming from both relics.

"Hmm,this is most unusual',said Virtruvius with curiosity,"I'm picking up some kind of energy coming from the Piece of Resistance and the Kragle,whatever it is,must be a final result of the fusion".

Walking up to the two relics,Green Lantern turned to Vitruvius with a look that shows confusion rather than curiousity.

"Yeah,I'm kinda hoping someone would be a little more specific,because I literally have no idea what's going on,or what you're talking about,at all".

"It would seem that the power of both objects were combined as one when the Piece of Resistance was attached to the Kragle,and that the explosion was the final step to the process", Vitruvius further explained, "but what ever that blue energy coming from the two objects is capable of is beyond even me".

"Bah!,you're all actin' like a bunch o' cowardly sea urchins!!",shouted out Metalbeard,"I say we be knocking hard on them two thingamajigs till something happens,ARGHH!"

Just like that,Metalbeard was going to take his idea seriously as he raised his sword up high,and was just about to strike on the two objects when a grapple line came from behind Metalbeard,wrapped around his arm,holding him back from his attempt to strike at the objects. The line came from none other than the grapple gun of Batman,struggling to keep Metalbeard from making a fatal mistake.

"Without any idea what that energy can do?!", shouted Batman in a more angry tone,but then returning to his regular tone, "That's idiotic".

"NO ONE BE CALLIN' THE MIGHTY METALBEARD IDIOTIC!!!", yelled the fearsome mechanical pirate as he freed his arm from the grapple line.

"I'm afraid Batman has a point,Metalbeard", added Vitruvius just before the vigilante and the pirate-cyborg were about to have a throw-down in Time Square, "It's just too risky engaging in such actions on these two objects without knowing just what that blue energy allows them to do now,I believe it's best to take a closer look at these two items just so that...oh nuts".

Everyone was confused about what he was referring to in a concerning matter,until they turned around in fear as they saw Emmet just shaking the Piece of Resistance up and down with a smile on his face.

"Emmmet what are you doing?!?!", yelled Wyldstyle in a state of terror.

"Well Vitruvius said we shouldn't hit these things", said Emmet with confidence, "so I figured nothing serious would happen if just shake at least one of them".

"It's true", added Vitruvius, "I did say we SHOULDN'T HIT THEM quite clearly".

"That's not really helping Vitruvius", said Superman as he chimed in, "Now Emmet,put down the Piece before something goes wrong!".

"Come on,guys!", Emmet yelled in confidence this time, "I'm sure things won't turn out so bad!".

But he spoke too soon as a mass of blue energy came flying right off the Piece of Resistance while he was still shaking it,and it was just bouncing around all over the city until it landed right in front the Master Builders. Right before their eyes,the mass expanded into a medium-sized blue portal,and nothing else happened at the time,as it just sat there.

Emmet walked as close to the portal as possible,and even danced around it,yet there wasn't any disturbance. Emmet then turned to the others with a positive look on his face.

"See guys?", Emmet said, "Like I've been saying,there's absolutely nothing to AHHHH!!!!"

Just like that, Emmet and the Piece of Resistance suddenly got sucked into the portal within the blink of an eye.

"EMMET!!!",everyone yelled in panic as they just watched their great friend and leader get sucked into a strange portal.

Before they could react,one by one,everyone else was getting sucked into the portal,and no matter how hard they tried to fight it,they just couldn't escape the strong gravitational pull on them. Even when the thirteen Master Builders got sucked in,the portal didn't stop there,it pulled in the Kragle,along with Wyldstyle's Super-Cycle and Benny's Spaceship,and it even grew big enough to suck up at least two or three skyscraper's worth of Lego bricks,cleaning up half of the debris around the city in the process,and then the portal,which transported all of those characters and things to an unknown destination,fades away.

The Master Builders were flying through some kind of blue wormhole,until they approached an exit,but not to their world. As they fell out of the sky,Emmet was trying to get a good enough look of the surrounding area,and with Virtruvius falling right next to him,he felt like he should know of the area's appearance.

"Hey Vitruvius! This place looks weird!", yelled Emmet seeing as how he and the others are falling right out of the sky.

Vitruvius,unable to hear Emmet,just shouted,"What's that?!", yelled Vitruvius back,having a rough time hearing anything, "Speak up Emmet,I can't hear you!!".

"THIS PLACE IS WEIRD!!!", yelled Emmet even louder but apparently not loud enough.

"I'm weird?!, Virtruvius claimed, "Of course I'm weird, boy, I'm a blind old mystic who knows kung-fu,everything about that is supposed to be weird!!!".

"Never mind!", shouted Emmet, "I'll show you guys when we hit the ground,that reminds me: AAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Aside from the few Master Builders who can fly,everyone plummeted to the ground ready to experience an extremely painful landing,only to experience one the weird things about that world Emmet was talking about.

They still hit the ground,but only experienced half of the pain that was expected,being that the pain they would've felt wouldn't be only half,seeing is how they come from a world made out of rough and hard Lego bricks. Regardless,the landing was still painful for the rest of the Master Builders,and right away fell the Piece of Resistance and the Kragle,followed by the two vehicles,but lucky for them,those only landed next to them.After being one of the last ones to hit the ground was none other than Jedi-Master Yoda,who also seemed to double as Sky-Diving Master Yoda given he was doing so many back flips while falling.

"Do to deserve this,what did I?", said Yoda with a sense of grief.

Unfortunately,that was asked at a bad time as the three skyscraper's worth of Lego bricks fell right on top of everyone. Yoda climbs out of that mess with an upset look on his face.

"*groans* Get worse,how can this? AHH!!", says Yoda with a sense of regret just before something big falls right on him.

Once again,bad timing strikes as Metalbeard is the last one to hit the ground,except Yoda wishes he'd actually hit the ground.

"Shiver me timbers mates!", shouted Metalbeard with joy, "Tis' must be me lucky day truly,for I've commandeered me-self the comfiest pillow in all the Seven Seas!!"

"*groans* My big mouth and me",Yoda says with a sense of agony.

It took a few minutes,but everyone got readjusted,such as Metalbeard realizing he's sitting on Yoda and finally getting off of him,not to mention that Virtruvius used his power to store the Lego bricks that came with them into a manageable and mobile carrier the size of Benny's Spaceship, everyone finally got a better look at the surrounding lands and were stunned yet at the same time: confused.

All around them,they see lushly green meadows and amazing apple trees far off in the distance,mighty mountains that would put their own to shame,clear blue sky with very few yet really fluffy clouds,critters of all kind ranging from birds to bears to snakes and squirrels and deer and many others. And also from a great distance,they can make out a small,beautiful town where they could try to get some help. But that's where they notice two strange things about the world they're stuck in,for one,it seems to them that all the main creatures in that town,and quite possibly almost everywhere in that world,are all ponies,of three type to be exact,like Earth-ponies who are settled with doing complete ground work,Unicorn-ponies who specialize in the use of magic through their horns,and of course Pegasus-ponies who live out their lives soaring through the great blue skies. And the second is that not a single thing is made up of Lego bricks,which is too weird for them,considering that they come from a world that's made up of nothing but LEGO.

The Master Builders were geared up and were ready to make their way to that small town when just a dozen feet to their left were a group of six ponies and what appeared to be a baby dragon as well who seemed to be having some sort of picnic. They were all girls except for the baby dragon,which was purple with green scales and green eyes,and each of the ponies were of various kind. Two of them that were each peach and pink were Earth-ponies,another set of two were each blue and yellow were Pegasus-ponies,one was white and a Unicorn-pony,and the sixth one was purple like the baby dragon but also very strange,seeing that she had a rare combination of the horn of a Unicorn and the wings of a Pegasus and each of the ponies seem to have weird-looking marks on their hind-quarters. Judging from the freak-out looks on their faces,they obviously saw the whole thing but were too creeped out to do anything. Finally they got their act together and prepared themselves as if for battle.

The purple pony must have been the leader,for she spoke on her friends' behalf.

"We are the Mane 6,I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville!", stated the hybrid purple pony, "And I demand to know exactly who are you all,where did you come from,and what you intend to do with our world!"

Being the leader of the Master Builders,Emmet felt it be best to speak on their behalf as well, and to avoid a possible rumble. Emmet simply walks a little forward toward this Princess Twilight Sparkle,but there still being a gap between them,he makes his statement.

"Uh hello,I'm Emmet. I'm just gonna come right out,I have no idea what's really going on here", says Emmet, "or what this place is,or who any of you guys are,at all".

Just then,the pink Earth-pony comes right in front of Princess Twilight with a really big happy face and starts jumping up and down in excitement.

"OH MY GOSH!! This.Is.So.COOL!!!", the pink earth-pony yells, "Hi There!! I'm Pinkie Pie,and let me just say you guys are by far the cutesiest,most awesome and super cool travelers I've ever seen in my WHOLE LIFE!!! WELCOME TO EQUESTRIA!!!!!"

Pinkie Pie was still staring at the Master Builders with excitement,while Princess Twilight and the rest of the ponies behind her still look awful serious about this predicament.After a moment of silence between both groups,Batman has something to say In response to what he and the others have seen so far,along with the ponies who dare to challenge them,especially how he felt about the way Pinkie Pie was all cheerful and full of life when she met them.

"I hate this place", said Batman,in his lowest,most serious speaking voice possible.

Hanging With Legos

View Online

When we last left the MasterBuilders, they we having quite the trouble cleaning up Bricksburg after the big fight against the Micro-Manager army of the tyrannical Lord Business and his second-in-command, Badcop, and that's when they stumble upon the surviving Piece of Resistance and the Kragle, both of which were giving off a strange blue energy, indicating that the two objects are now equipped with a special new ability. The MasterBuilders see this ability in action when the Piece of Resistance emits a blue portal that sucks up Emmet and the others, and two certain vehicles, and just about three skyscrapers worth of Lego bricks, and sends them toward an unknown destination. They end up in a massively beautiful world where it also weirded them out for two reasons: one was that the dominant species of this world are mainly ponies of three classes, unicorn ponies, pegasus ponies, and earth ponies. Ant the other reason was that the whole world wasn't made up out of Lego bricks, which is weird for them since their a group of LEGO mini-figures who come from a Lego world. Just then the MasterBuilders were about to head to the nearby town to find some kind of help, they run into a group of six female ponies, along with a baby dragon, called the Mane 6, and their leader, a purple unicorn/pegasus hybrid pony named Princess Twilight Sparkle, who seem to think of them as a threat to their home. Now Emmet must speak on behalf of his friends so that their first visit to this wonderfully beautiful world called Equestria doesn't start off with a fight.
-----

As the pink earth pony named Pinkie Pie continued to stare at the MasterBuilders with joy, Princess Twilight and her friends are still looking awful serious about these guys like they're evil or something. Just when the two groups were about to start off, an equally energetic member of the MasterBuilders jumps right in front of Princess Twilight, and seemed to be just as happy as Pinkie Pie.

"Hiiii!! I am Princess Unikitty of Cloud Cuckoo Land", said Unikitty happily, "And let me just say it's really such a great honor to meet another princess! But I never expected it to be in another world!"

"I know!", shouted Pinkie Pie with joy, "How cool is that?! Except I never expected to meet another princess that's a unicorn and a kitten mashed into one, which is SO STINKING COOL!!"

"Pinkie, that's enough!", yelled Princess Twilight, "This isn't the time to be all hyper when Equestria's being invaded!"

"Better listen to her, Pinkie", said the blue pegasus pony with a rainbow mane and an attitude to match, "these chumps look like nothing but trouble!!"

Nearly everyone from both groups were once again ready to make a move, until Emmet comes back out in between the two parties to settle things.

"All right, everyone just calm down", said Emmet.

"I'll calm down when these when these smart-mouthed pony-girls get off our backs!", yelled Indy with a strong angry tone in his voice used on the ponies who dare to challenge them.

"Who are you callin' smart-mouthed, ya darn trespassers?!", shouted the peach earth pony with a cowgirl accent and hat.

"That be ye!!", shouted Metalbeard, with his sword and double-barrel blaster ready, "Ye young ladies be carrying some nerve treating me mates and I with such disrespect!"

"Well that is oddly well put", said the white unicorn pony with a purple mane, "considering that's coming from a giant mechanical brute such as yourself!"

"NO ONE BE SPEAKING TO METALBEARD LIKE THAT AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! NO ONE!!!", yelled the fearsome pirate cyborg with great rage.

"Yeah! Tell'em Rarity!", yelled the blue pegasus pony.

"And if I might add...", Rarity was cut short when she looked in surprise to see Batman messing around with some rectangle-shaped device, not paying attention to a single thing she was saying to them.

"Sorry I wasn't listening", said Batman, "Just been Bat-mailing on my Bat-phone, wanted to tell Alfred to cancel my 2:00 pm massage appointment for tomorrow, weird I even get a signal in another world".

"I say, you have absolutely no manners whatsoever!" yelled Rarity, "It's important to ALWAYS pay attention to whom ever is speaking, not that YOU seem to care!"

"You're right, I don't care at all",said Batman as he swapped his bat-phone for his trusty batarang, "considering that I usually tune out when I start to hear someone talk with a really lame fancy accent".

"HOW DARE YOU!!", yelled Rarity with great displeasure.

"Enough Rarity! You need to get a hold of yourself and relax!", yelled Twilight to Rarity, who in response stopped to take a deep breath.

"Thank you darling", said Rarity with relief, "I really needed that, this kind of anger just isn't me".

After giving Rarity a smile showing she was fine with helping her friend, Twilight got back into serious mode and turned back to the MasterBuilders, hoping to finally get some answers.

"I'll ask you one more time!", demanded Twilight, "Who are you, where did you all come from, and what are your plans?!"

Yet again, the MasterBuilders and the Mane 6 were ready to attack each other, and yet again, Emmet comes in to talk everyone down.

"All right all right! There's no need for a fight here you guys, we just got off on the wrong hand is all", said Emmet with a smile to his friends, then turned to Twilight and her friends and says, "Look, you guys seem to be real friendly, I can tell by how you treat each with a whole lotta love and respect. And if it's answers you want, then it's answers you'll get".

And just like that, everyone finally calmed down so Emmet can go on with explanations, but since nearly everyone wanted to relax, they went over to the little picnic area the Mane 6 we busy with before the MasterBuilders arrived, and as things progressed, introductions were made as well. By the time Emmet was done with the whole story, everyone was completely silent until the blue pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash started to float in mid-air with an excited look on her face.

"That is SO AWESOME!!", yelled Rainbow

"I know right?! That's what I've been saying!", shouted Pinkie with joy.

"I'm awful sorry we treated y'all like a bunch o' no-good troublemakers,*chuckles* and to be honest, y'all seem like mighty fine folk!", said the peach earth pony named Applejack with joy and pride.

"I hope I'm not interrupting, but I also like to say you guys are really great", said the yellow pegasus pony named Fluttershy who lives up to her name, and is feeling a little uncomfortable sitting next to Vitruvius, due to his facial appearance.

"Um excuse me, don't mind me asking Mr. Vitruvius, but are your eyes really like that because you're blind?"

"Sadly, yes", said Vitruvius, "but it's not so bad once you get used to it, there's no shame in being blind, young miss".

"Mr. Vitruvius, no offense, but you're talking to a rock", said Fluttershy, and that's when there was a hint of delight and awkwardness in the air when Vitruvius uses his hand to feel what's next to him on his left was indeed a rock.

"Oh, sorry about that", said Vituvius feeling embarrassed, "Anyway, like I was saying..."

"Hey, don't take it personal Vitruvius", said Nightwing as he chimed in, "but I'm pretty sure she got all that".

"All right", said Vitruvius, "just wanted to be sure".

Just then, jumping from out of the bushes, came a trio of smaller girl ponies, one was a white unicorn pony, the second was a yellow earth pony with a bow in her mane, and the third was an orange pegasus pony. They clearly had excitement written all over their faces, even when Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash came up to them with an angry look on their own faces.

"Now what in tarnation are you three doin' here?!", shouted Applejack.

"We saw and heard the whole thing!", said the orange pegasus pony, "And we just REALLY wanted to meet them ourselves!"

"Hey, do you three happen to know these tikes by any chance? Just saying", said Wyldstyle with curiosity as she walks up to the older three ponies.

"*sighs* Yeah, they're our little sisters", said Rainbow.

"Rarity's my sister, and my name's Sweetie Belle", said the white unicorn.

"Applejack's mah big sis, name's AppleBloom", said the yellow earth pony.

"Rainbow's my big sis, call me Scootaloo", said the orange pegasus.

"And we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!!!", shouted all three in unison.

"And what is it that you three do anyway?", asked Wyldstyle.

"We hang out almost everyday", said Sweetie Belle, "And when we do, we try to do all sorts of things to finally get our cutie marks, meaning that we've found out special talents in life!"

"That explains the blank flanks you three are sporting", said Wyldstyle.

"Wow, that sounds really awesome you three", said Emmet from the bottom of his own heart, "but I should probably tell you what I told my friends not long ago, everyone is special in their own way, even if it doesn't seem like much".

"That's really nice of ya to say", said AppleBloom, "but we REALLY wanna get our cutie marks so we'll feel successful about ourselves".

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I know!", said Benny with a look that shows he's got a crazy good or crazy bad idea coming up, "You three can come take a trip with me in my spaceship around the place! Maybe you three are meant to by my flying buddies!

"That's an AWESOME idea!", shouted Scootaloo, "We could get our cutie marks in being pro astronauts! Let's do it!"

"AH DON'T THINK SO!", yelled Applejack on behalf of herself and the other two older sisters, "Cutie marks or not, ain't no way we're lettin' our little sisters go off on a trip in some dang crazy-dangerous spaceship! Oh uh, no offense there partner".

"I get it all the time", said Benny, "it's no big deal".

"Come on AJ, give us a chance PLEEEASE?!?!", pleaded AppleBloom, meaning that she and the others really see it as a chance to finally earn their cutie marks, "And besides, what's the worse that could happen?"

Soon enough, AppleBloom got her answer when she and the rest of the Crusaders end up in a state of terror and screaming their heads off as Benny flew them around in his spaceship at insane, breakneck speeds. They practically flew all over Equestria so fast, their hearts would have given out on them already, Benny even flew the ship all the way in space, and then flying back to the ground so fast there was just enough time for Benny to pull up before impact and made a smooth landing. Benny jumps out of the ship all pumped up with adrenaline, while the Crusader were slowly leaving the ship, so terrified that they were still shaking even after back on the ground.

"Well, I-I-I've been wrong before", said AppleBloom nervously.

"Y-Y-Yeah, so much for getting our cutie marks in being astronauts", said Sweetie Belle.

"*sighs* Back to the drawing board for us I guess", said Scootaloo.

"Did you guys see how fast we went?!", shouted Benny, feeling good about how he and the Crusaders did up in the sky, "My favorite part was when I pulled up right before we hit the ground! WHOO!! Man!, You can't get that kind of rush, not unless you're flying a SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP!!"

"Anyway Emmet", said Twilight, having thought of a way to help the MasterBuilders get home, "I figure we should head to my library back in Ponyville, I'm sure there's a spell in one of the books I have that'll give you more control over those two items so you guys will be able to get back home".

"Wonderful, fantastic, we really appreciate this, thanks so much", said President Business with true gratefulness.

"Hold on", said the baby dragon named Spike with concern, "man, does this mean we gotta do some research?"

"Come on Spike, we need to help these guys", said Twilight with a slight smile, "*giggles* And besides, research isn't so bad".

"*groans* Easy for you to say Twilight", said Spike with grief, "you do research almost all the time!"

Shortly, the MasterBuilders were being escorted to Ponyville by their new friends the Mane 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were more than eager to give them the tour of the town while helping them with their current situation. As Emmet and his friends walked through town, they were told of all the amazing things that go on all the time, they even got a look at all the cool building they had, from an arcade, to neat restaurants, an impressive sweet shop, and even a fashion boutique. But back at the spot where they had the picnic, trouble appeared in the form of two small dark purple floating masses of dark magic, and on their own, they went toward a familiar destination: Ponyville.

"Man, I gotta be honest here", said Emmet with delight, "This is really awesome and big for a small town like this".

"*chuckles* It gets better, trust me", said Twilight, "We'll be sure to show you guys everything else after we find the answer we need in my library".

They were in viewing range of Twilight's library, which looked more like a tree-house on the outside, but was guaranteed that the MasterBuilders would find a bonafide library on the inside. Just then out of nowhere magically appears a very tall yet sinister-looking creature right in front of them. It had yellow and red eyes, and seemed like a warped Manticore, seeing as how it's entire body was made up of various animals, from different goat horns, to the body of a bird with a single set of eagle and lion arms, a single set of horse and dragon legs, and a dragon tail to add, along with a very mischievous personality to it. Despite leaving it's evil past behind, the Mane 6 still had an uncomfortable feeling around it, being that they've met it before, the Former Spirit of Chaos itself.

"DISCORD!!", shouted the Mane 6 and Crusaders in unison.

"HELLLLOOOO! My little friends!", shouted Discord with such joy, "I've been dying to see you all again. And what's this? New visitors, and their not even from this dimension! Oh what fun!"

"What the hay are YOU even doing here?!", yelled Applejack with distaste.

"Hang on", said Batman, "you guys know this punk?"

"*sighs* Unfortunately", said Rarity.

"I'm surprised my little friends here haven't told you newcomers about me yet", said Discord, "but no matter, all is forgiven. To make it brief, I was evil, frozen in stone by Celestia and Luna, the Royal Pony Sisters, a thousand years later I got out, did the evil thing again, the Mane 6 stopped me, Fluttershy here helped reform me, now here we are!"

"Oh, it was the least I could do, really", said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, that's nice and all, but I still don't get why you're even here", said Batman.

"Well, I felt it my responsibility as a friend to warn you all", said Discord, "that there's some really big trouble brewing, and I may be the cause of it".

"What trouble?! And how are you involved?!", yelled Twilight.

"It's not like I meant for it to happen now, but you'll find out for yourselves in a few minutes", said Discord, "I could have just stopped it myself, but once it's set in motion, all I could do was warn you, but don't worry, I'll see you guys again soon enough and I'll be happy to share with you the whole story! Farewell!"

"WAIT!!!", shouted everyone, but it was no use, as Discord vanished into thin air, leaving the entire group alone in Central Square of Ponyville.

"I don't like the sound of what Discord told us", said Twilight with concern

"Well at least he was kind enough to warn us", said Emmet happily.

"That's not really helping", said Twilight.

"Hey guys, something's headed our way", said Rainbow, and the others could already get a good look at what Discord was talking about.

Even though it was far from the other side of town, coming the way the group entered, were two small dark purple floating masses of dark magic.

"What are those supposed to be?", asked Green Lantern.

"Hmm, unsure of their origin, I am", said Yoda, "But powerful evil surrounds the two masses, I sense".

"OOOOO! Pretty! Let's check'em out!", shouted Pinkie.

"Yeah! Maybe we'll get ice cream if we touch them!", shouted Unikitty also.

Just when the "happy duo" were about to run for the two masses, Applejack was able to wrap her lasso around them and pulled them back.

"WHOA THERE NELLY! What don't know what those thing can do, but what ever they are, can't be good one bit".

Soon enough, the two masses were coming straight for them, but a closer look at their flight pattern by Twilight tells her they were coming straight for the Piece of Resistance and the Kragle, both of which were carried by Emmet.

"Emmet, watch out!", shouted Twilight.

Then President Business and Goodcop pushed Emmet out of the way just in time, but may be something those two would probably regret themselves somehow. Immediately after that, the two reformed villains were hit by each of the two masses, and as they hit the ground, there was a dark purple aura surrounding them. The group was checking to see if those two were fine, and hoping things don't doe that bad, but it's never been that easy for them.

"What in the world was that?!?!", shouted Wyldstyle, as she looked upon Twilight, who might have the answer.

"I...I don't know", said Twilight with regret and concern.

"I'll tell you what that was...", said President Business in a menacing tone as he shot up straight fast, "A REAL PICK-ME-UP!"

Just like that, President Business got right up and kicks Green Lantern down and then picks up AppleBloom and tosses her to the far side of town, only to be suspended in mid-air by Twilight's magic.

"President Business! What were you thinking?!", shouted Twilight, only to look back and see that President Business is wielding the Kragle, and aiming it at the group.

"You will address me as LORD Business, you disrespectful brat!", yelled the returned villain as he blasted a stream of Kragle essence in front of him, getting them to back off, "And to answer your question, I'm thinking I need to get back on track now that I have access to this world as well!"

Some of the group thought he was bluffing, until he turned around and was somehow able to use the Kragle to blast open a portal, the same looking one that brought the MasterBuilders to Equstria in the first place.

"Come, BADCOP, we've got a lot of work ahead of us!", shouted Lord Business as he entered the portal.

Then everyone turned back to Badcop sitting up straight, still with his happy face, thinking it was a joke, until they were proven wrong.

It's nothing I'm proud of, Goodcop plays nicely!", said his good-cop face, then switching to his bad-cop face and says, "But Badcop means business!"

Then Badcop jumps up and pulls out his blaster and starts shooting up Central Square, forcing the group to take cover so they wouldn't follow the two through the portal.

"Badcop! Stop fooling around and come on!", yelled Lord Business when coming back for a brief moment to keep his second-in-command from messing up, then leaves again.

"Understood Lord Business! I'm on my way!", shouted Badcop as he makes a break for the portal, but stopping to make a point and says, "We're not finished...yet", and so with that, he steps through the portal, which closes shortly afterward, leaving the group alone in Central Square with absolute stunned silence.

"What. The heck. Was that?", asks Batman, breaking the silence.

Shortly, Lord Business and Badcop were back on the streets of Bricksburg, still a mess even with the people doing their best to clean up what's left.

"Badcop!, I have a special task for you!", yelled Lord Business.

"Name it sir, and I'll see to it the job gets done!", said the double-faced police officer.

"I need you to reassemble and prepare your Robo-SWAT forces, then I need you to put out a special call, to a special number of individuals and tell them to meet me at Octan tower, I have a proposal in mind for them", said Lord Business.

"Right away sir!", shouts Badcop, putting out a signal to his robot police forces, telling them to gear up and await further orders, then asking, "Forgive me sir, but I need to ask who are these 'special individuals' I'm calling".

"Let's just say that I intend on taking over Equestria first, then coming back here to finish what I started, but to do this, I'll need to bring together a group of my own, NOW DO IT!!"

And so with that menacing demand, Badcop carried out the tyrant's orders and sent out a call meant for these "special individuals" to come to Octan tower to hear what Lord Business has to offer.

An hour later, at the top floor of the Octan tower, was a refurbished board room that seemed much, much bigger than it should be, for good reason, so that there's room for Lord Business in his tyrant outfit, which was featuring giant robot leg stilts to make him the height of a flagpole, a fancy, bulky black collar with a tie painted on the front, a cape that reached down to the floor but looked an awful lot like a real necktie, a giant helmet with a glowing center, and two horns that looked like coffee mugs, which spat out fire. And then Badcop comes in with some news for his master.

"Sir, they've arrived", said Badcop as he opened the door for the tyrant's guests, and standing before him, were some of the greatest villains in the Lego universe.

"Ah! Lex Luthor, The Joker, Darth Maul and Darth Vader, Sheriff Not-a-Robot and Deputron, Sinestro, Man-Bat, General Zod, Bane, it's a pleasure to have you all here! Welcome to Octan tower!", shouted Lord Business.

"Save your breath Business and tell us why you summoned us here", said Lex Luthor, "Because as I recall, it was YOUR downfall that forced us to go into hiding in the first place!"

"It just so happens, that thanks to a special new power left within the Piece of Resistance and the Kragle, I was in another world, being a goodie-two shoes along with Badcop, alongside those MasterBuilders and these ponies called the Mane 6 and Cutie Mark Crusaders!", yelled Lord Business with disgust, "Then out of nowhere, came these two masses of dark magic that hit me and Badcop, and BOOM! We're back to our old selves!"

"That is all very interesting Lord Business, I'm sure those girly ponies gave you a rough time", said Bane, "but spare us the theatrics el stupido and get to the point!"

"YOU ARE MY INVITED GUEST, BANE! YOU WILL DO WELL TO RESPECT ME!! AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU AS WELL!!!", yelled Lord Business with great force, "My point is that the dark magic that brought back the other side of me and Badcop, has presented me with some helpfulness and information, such as that the source of this magic must be kept from the MasterBuilders and the Mane 6 at all costs! Along with giving me the power to control the new ability within the Kragle and travel between our world and that of Equestria at will, along with amplifying the Kragle's original power times a hundred as well!"

"OOOO! Nifty!", said The Joker, getting a real kick out of what's going on so far, "That's one fancy toy you got there Busny! I'm just curious about what's it got to do with us".

"That's LORD BUSINESS to you, Joker!", yelled the tyrant once again, "And that's where you all come in, my friends. You see, I have plans on taking over Equestria first, then returning here to finish the job I started here long ago. But to do this, seeing as how the MasterBuilders and the Mane 6 will no doubt work together to defend that world to the last man, or pony, I'm going to need a group of my own, to help me accomplish this goal of mine, starting with pooling all our resources to bring back my massive Micro-Manager army and triple it, along with adding in a few new improvements to really spice things up, in exchange for your services, I'll offer to you, my fellow warlords, dominion over whatever territory you seek to claim as much as you can! So...what do you think?"

The villains got together and discussed things in secret, while Lord Business and Badcop were standing on the other side of the board room, impatiently waiting for an answer. Then, Lex Luthor came up to Lord Business and spoke the answer he and his cohorts in evil thought of.

"We're in", said Luthor with an evil smirk on his face.

Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, the whole group was stationed in Twilight's library, searching every book for whatever was behind the dark magic that brought back Lord Business and Badcop, which also gave them control over the new power that lied within the Kragle, just like the Piece of Resistance, and what did it have to do with Discord, who claims to be responsible for it.

"Come on! Come on! There's gotta be something about that dark magic around here somewhere!", said Twilight with frustration and worry.

"Sorry Twilight", said Green Lantern, "but we've probably looked in all these books by now, we would've found something already".

"Keep looking, there's bound to be something here", said Wonder Woman.

"I agree, we can't give up just yet, there has to be something around here that can tell us what that dark magic was, and where it came from", said Twilight.

"The way I SEE things, get it? Because I'm blind?", said Vitruvius, trying to help lighten the mood.

"I doubt that's any helpful, Vitruvius", said Rarity un-amused by his joke, "just tell us what is your thought on this".

"Fine then", said Vitruvius, "If we're going to get any answers behind that dark magic, we should search for Discord, he said it himself: that he's responsible for this somehow, so he may have the solution for this mess".

"Only one problem, Discord said he won't show up anytime soon", said Twilight, "I think he'll be waiting for us to go somewhere before he shows up again, and I have no idea where we have to go".

"There must be an idea as to where we need to go, we need to know more about dark magic Discord claims to have something to do with it", said Vitruvius.

"Mates, I fear there be a bigger storm brewin' over yonder", said Metalbeard with concern.

"This ain't the time for yer dang pirate talk partner!", yelled Applejack, "What's going on out there?!"

Emmet decides to check things out for himself and steps outside, and is stunned that, when the others come out themselves, they follow his example as they look at what lies in Central Square of Ponyville, a giant blue portal, reaching the height of the buildings around and just barely touching the ground.

"Oh man", said Emmet once again in a simple and slow manner.

Before anyone could react, dozens and dozens of Micro-Managers and Robo-SWAT officers were swarming right out of the portal, and coming out of the portal in his own flying squad-car, Badcop makes a brief and obvious announcement.

"DA DA DA!! The bad guys are here!", shouts Badcop.

Then the last ones exiting the portal before it vanished, were Lord Business and his newly formed alliance he calls, the Syndicate of Doom, each on their own little armed hovercraft, while the head tyrant rode one especially made for his tyrant outfit.

"*laughs* Round up all the ponies! Destroy any who try to fight us!", shouts Lord Business at his forces, "And bring me...the MasterBuilders and Mane 6, NOW!!! Badcop! Vader! Joker! Sinestro! Not-a-Robot! Come with me! We're leading our own forces to seize Canterlot, the most powerful kingdom in Equestria, and bring down the Royal Pony Sisters! Luthor! You're in charge of your own forces! I want Ponyville under our control by the time I'm finished with Canterlot! NOW MOVE IT!!"

"It'll be my pleasure!", shouts Luthor with again an evil smirk on his face.

"HA HA HA HA!!!", Joker goes, then says, "Storming a kingdom and taking down royal pony sisters while spreading terror and destruction on these helpless ponies! Perfect! My kind of party!!"

As Lord Business and his forces make their way to Canterlot, Luthor and his own forces including Bane, Zod, Man-Bat, Darth Maul, and Deputron were carrying out their master's orders to take over Ponyville as soon as possible, capturing many stray ponies and trying to vaporize any who tried to resist. While the group was trying to figure a way out of this.

"It's hard to imagine, Lord Business brought together a group of his own, and their just as dangerous as he is", said Superman.

"Hold up, you're saying you guys know these evil chumps?", asked Rainbow.

"Yeah, some of us like Supes and me fought these guys before", said Batman, "total losers if you ask me".

"Except these guys don't seem to be acting like losers now, and Lord Business said he's gonna take over Canterlot AND Ponyville, we've gotta do something!", shouted Wyldstyle, then Vitruvius chimed in.

"I agree, true we may seem outnumbered and outmatched, but let's just see what we can do about this invasion!", said Vitruvius with some oomph in his voice.

"So what are we waiting for?", demanded Rainbow, "Let's show these guys they'e messing with the wrong friends!!"

And so with that, the MasterBuilders and Mane 6 stormed for Central Square, where the action was at it's peak, even the Crusaders came along to join the fight, against their older sisters' intentions for them. As the whole group fought their way to Luthor, seeing as how he's in charge of taking over Ponyville, they were blocked off by a line of Robo-SWAT officers in their own dropships, and that's when Luthor finally noticed them.

"Well well!", said Luthor, "You all must be that lot of pests who stand in our way! But it's nice to see you anyway, especially you, Superman".

"The feeling isn't mutual, Lex, now call off your attack and tell Lord Business to leave Canterlot alone as well!", demanded Superman as he flew up to his arch-enemy.

"I'd hate to say that's not really an option, seeing as how you and you're friends are in NO position to make demands of us whatsoever!", shouted Luthor, then leaving his hovercraft and taking control of his own giant mech-suit and says, "That reminds me, you remember Zod don't you? Because he remembers you all too well".

Out of nowhere, Zod comes flying in behind Superman and knocking him into Luthor's mech-suit, who then in turn swats Superman into the ground with a left backhand. Zod thens lands on the ground in front of Superman, with an enraged look on his face that clearly showed he held a strong grudge against the Man of Steel.

"Zod ALWAYS wins, Superman!", said Zod with pride, "Now it's time you payed for banishing me to the Phantom Zone all those years ago!"

"It wasn't my fault you had it coming, Zod", said Superman finally recovered, "You know what they say: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time", then Superman rushes toward Zod with a left hook, which was blocked, then knocks Zod across town with a solid uppercut.

"Really? I was hoping you would come up with something less cliche than that Superman", said Luthor.

"Well it's true!", yelled Superman, then turns to the others as he flew up to Luthor in his mech-suit, "I'll deal with Lex and Zod, the rest of you can see what you can do about the rest of the town!"

"That's where you're wrong Superman, I don't intend on letting them do anything to ruin our plans!", yelled Luthor, "Maul! Man-Bat! Lead your own squadrons and capture those annoying heroes, immediately!!"

"Of course, my master", said Maul in a deep yet menacing tone, "Man-Bat! Troops! Attack!!"

And now, the group was on the run as they were being chased by two big squads of walking Micro-Managers and Robo-SWATs each being lead bu Darth Maul and Man-Bat. As Superman continued his fight with Zod and Luthor, Luthor fired a rocket at Superman, only for it to get knocked aside, and that's when the runaway rocket comes flying in and front of the group, separating some of them from the others. Applejack, the Crusaders, Yoda, and Metalbeard were still pursued by Maul and his forces, while Twilight, Rarity, Spike, Emmet, and Wyldstyle were being chased by Man-Bat and his forces. Maul runs ahead of his own forces to deal with the strays himself, starting off with a short lightsaber duel between himself and Yoda, then Yoda makes a break for it, with Maul in pursuit, as if he were winning, but unknown to Maul, the first set of strays from the group had a trap ready for him. As Yoda makes a right turn with Maul right behind him there, hidden in an alleyway, was Applejack ready with one end of a long rope, while the Crusaders were in the opposite alleyway holding the other end. Yoda runs past the trap, and shortly afterward, Applejack and the Crusaders pulled each of their own end fast, causing a fast running Maul to trip and flies toward the end of the street, only to get plucked out of the air by Metalbeard, who was hiding in a corridor, and then dangled Maul in front of his blaster and shot him across town.

"I WILL END YOU FOR THIS!!!", yelled Maul was he was flying across town.

"Better luck next time mate!!!", shouts Metalbeard.

"Yeah! that chump never saw it coming!!", shouts Scootaloo, but their victory over Maul was short-lived now that the rest of the first wave of strays from the group have to put up with Maul's forces.

At that time, the second wave of strays were still being chased by Man-Bat and his forces, and tired of Man-Bat having the advantage of speed on his side, Wyldstyle gets enough Lego bricks from the carrier, which they're fortunate ended up with them, to build a small station wagon/military truck, and everyone hopped on. Even with speed no longer an issue, the second wave of strays were still taking heavy fire from Man-Bat and a few flying Micro-Managers.

"I just can't shake these guys! Emmet, Twilight, I could use some covering fire right about now!", shouted Wyldstyle while driving.

"We're on it!" shouted Emmet and Twilight in unison. Twilight then turns to the sky and starts blasting away with magic beams from her horn while taking flight herself, while Emmet uses some more Lego pieces to build a crank-gun, aims it at the enemy from above, and starts blasting as he kept cranking that thing. With Emmet and Twilight shooting at the enemy forces from above, and Wyldstyle trying to drive, Rarity and Spike did their best knocking off any Robo-SWAT trying to climb onto the truck as they drove by. Then one got a hold of Rarity by the leg and tried to pull her off, but Spike took notice and pulled Rarity back onto the truck.

"Oh Spikey-Wikey! You're my hero!", shouted Rarity as she fiercely hugged her little yet brave rescuer.

"Oh, it was nothing really", said Spike as he blushed from his hug.

Emmet's trusty crank-gun helped him finish off the rest of the flying Micro-Managers, leaving Man-Bat alone with Twilight.

"You think I'm scared of a flying pony? Come on!!", yelled Man-Bat.

"I think you should be!", shouted Twilight with a smirk on her face. The two flying combatants were blasting away at each other, and it seemed like Man-Bat was winning, until Twilight said something he wouldn't forget.

"Never underestimate a pony like me!", shouts Twilight right before Man-Bat's next strike was interrupted by a few laser shots by Emmet and his crank-gun, throwing him off guard long enough for Twilight to blast him with her magic and send him straight to the ground hard.

"Especially when a pony like me has friends I can always count on!", shouted Twilight, who then turns to Emmet with a smile, thanking him for the backup.

"What can I say? That was Awesome!!", shouted Emmet with joy.

Eventually, the entire group was able to reunite in Central Square, they all put up a good fight, but despite their best efforts, it seems as though they barely made a dent in their numbers, and even Superman had a rough time with General Zod and Luthor, just like how they tried to bring down the other villains under Luthor's command. Wishing they didn't have to do this, but with being outnumbered and heavily outmatched, and it being that sometimes running away is the smart thing to do, the group had to fall back on the one option they had left.

"RETREAT!!!", yells Emmet", We have to get out of here now!", and just like that, Batman tossed a few heavy smoke bombs around the group to cover up their escape, and during the commotion, Emmet, Wyldstyle, Batman, Indy and Nightwing worked together using some plenty more Lego pieces from the little carrier to build a large, heavy duty getaway truck and everyone got inside while Batman took the wheel and drove them out of town, by the time the smoke cleared, Luthor caught a glimpse of the getaway truck that no doubt carried the heroes that stood in their way and glared hard in their direction.

"Ha! That's right! run away like the cowards you are!", yelled Man-Bat, "That's the last time we'll have to put up with those losers ever again! Especially since we own this town now!"

"You're muy estupido for a fearsome man-bat creature", said Bane

"Bane is correct. They're escaping, but they'll no doubt try harder to beat us", said Luthor with frustration and concern, "This matter will be solved as soon as we can figure out where exactly they're headed".

"Boss! I got the answer fer ya!", shouted Deputron as he walked up to Luthor's mech-suit with The Mayor of Ponyville in tow.

"Well well, this must be our lucky day! You must be the Mayor, I don't want to waste anymore of your time, so I'll make this quick: Tell me exactly where you suppose those 'heroes' of yours are going, and I won't have to vaporize you on the spot", said Luthor with menace as he pointed his mech-suit's right blaster right at the Mayor, leaving a terrified look on her face.

Meanwhile, in the throne room of the Canterlot Castle, in their own thrones were the two grand rulers of Equestria, Princesses Celestia and Luna, also known as the Royal Pony Sisters, who also happen to be Alicorns like Twilight. Right away came a pair of badly-wounded guards with a warning as they closed the throne-room doors behind them hard.

"Your Majesties! You must flee! It isn't safe here!", shouted one of the guards, "The enemy has nearly seized control of Canterlot, and their leader is approaching the throne room!". But there was no time to run, for shortly afterward, the massive doors were kicked wide-open knocking the two guards aside and half of the room was filled with smoke. The other set of royal guards who were in the room standing at opposite sides of the small stairway were prepared to protect their leaders with their life, until a couple of laser shots came from the smoke and knocked out the two guards as well. And as soon as the smoke cleared, standing just past the doors was Lord Business with Badcop and Darth Vader by his side.

"HA! HA! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! We meet at last! And I must say it's really such an honor to meet some big-shots such as yourselves!", shouted Lord Business.

"The feeling isn't mutual, Lord Business", said Celestia with an angry tone.

"*laughs* Wow, news really travels fast in this world! Considering we've never really met until now!", shouts Lord Business with slight surprise.

"We are the proud and selfless rulers of Equestria, who will protect our subjects no matter what threat may arise!", shouts Celestia with pride.

"And when events even of the strangest variety occur, we now about it right away!", added Luna. Just then, an explosion occurs outside the castle that caught Celestia and Luna by surprise, but was no concern for Lord Business.

"Oh don't bother paying attention to what's happening outside, you two should worry more about yourselves right now", said Lord Business, "Now to make it simple, surrender yourselves to me right now or I'll have to force you to, I'm fine either way!"

"The way we see it, we'd curse ourselves before we allow Equestria to fall into your clutches!", shouts Luna.

"I believe YOU should be the ones to surrender, or you will be met with dire consequences!", shouts Celestia.

"Oh man, that's all very moving. And I'd actually be touched if it weren't for the fact that YOU TWO ARE IN NO POSITION TO MAKE DEMANDS WHATSOEVER!!", yelled Lord Business

Unmoved by his temper, Celestia and Luna were prepared to attack.

"You have just made a grave mistake", said Celestia.

Badcop readies his blaster and Darth Vader his lightsaber, ready to take on the Royal Pony Sisters who dare to threaten their master, until Lord Business steps in with a request.

"Stand down you two", said Lord Business, "I'll deal with these unruly sisters".

"Lord Business", asks Badcop, "are you sure that's wise?

"YOU WILL DO WELL THAN TO QUESTION YOUR SUPERIOR WHEN HE MAKES A DECISION!!", shouts Lord Business with great force.

"Of course Sir! Understood!", shouts Badcop as he and Vader stepped back to watch their leader deal some damage on these two powerful pony sisters.

The battle starts off with the pony sisters taking flight and rush toward Lord Business, but then the tyrant starts to fire a powerful laser from the glowing center of his giant helmet, that's when the two sisters take evasive action as they blast back with their magic. the tyrant and the sister seemed to make very little progress, so Lord Business decides to up the anti by using the dual flame-throwers on the top of his helmet, then fires a small set of missiles from each of his stilt-legs. Part of the throne room was wrecked, and neither side was making any real progress, until Celestia fired a magic blast at his feet, causing Lord Business to shortly lose balance and happens to swing his right stilt-leg at Luna, who was trying to attack from behind, and knocks her against the wall hard, then falling on the floor.

"LUNA!", shouts Celestia in shock.

"Just so we're clear, I TOTALLY MEANT TO DO THAT", said Lord Business as he regained his balance.

Celestia lands back on the ground and was about to head over and tend to her little sister, until she was halted by Badcop and Vader, pointing their blaster and lightsaber at her. Lord Business then walks over to an injured Luna and uses this to his advantage.

"Unless you want me to make an example out of your sister, I suggest you STAND DOWN AND GIVE UP!!", yelled Lord Business as he pointed his fully charged helmet laser right at Luna, who was too badly hurt to defend herself with her magic.

"Sister, don't worry of me! Stop this tyrant before he causes any more harm!", shouts Luna in agony.

"As much as I want to put an end to this madness, I already lost you once, Luna, I can't stand losing you again", said Celestia with grief, then looks at Lord Business happily waiting for an answer, "Very well Lord Business, I surrender".

"Excellent! You see how things go smoothly when you just give up? Makes me glad I don't have any siblings, HA!", said Lord Business as he kicks Luna over to Celestia for her to tend to her injured sister, indicating to Badcop and Vader that they can lower their weapons. As Celestia helped Luna to stand up, they both looked up at Lord Business with distaste while he made another announcement.

"Now there's just one more thing I need to do that almost slipped my mind", said Lord Business, "and that's THIS!!", immediately, the tyrant pulled out the Kragle and covered Celestia and Luna with it's essence, completely immobilizing them, they were lucky they could still move their eyes and mouths, but the essence even kept them from using their magic.

"A little bit of Kragle never hurt anyone, sometimes, but that's to make sure you two aren't a real problem for me, since I got bigger plans in mind!", said Lord Business just before the sound of Navy ship horn went off outside, "And that's the sound of me finally seizing control of Canterlot! YESSS!"

"Master, I have received communication from the one known as Lex Luthor", said Vader, "he and his forces have seized control of Ponyville".

"*gasps* Twilight", said Celestia sharing a worried look with Luna.

"Well that sounds wonderful! I had my doubts but I knew someone like Luthor wouldn't mess this up", said Lord Business.

"Unfortunately, he also reports that the MasterBuilders and Mane 6 you spoke of have escaped, but has learned of a location which is their most likely destination: A third kingdom known as the Crystal Empire", said Vader with regret, "And that the rulers of this particular empire are known as Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, both are which the sister-in-law and older brother of Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle, the leader of the Mane 6 of which escaped with the MasterBuilders".

"Well then, It's time we introduced ourselves to the fine ponies of this Crystal Empire!", shouts Lord Business.

"I will go and personally crush them and claim this empire in your name, my master. Then, I'll finally show Darth Maul who's the most fearsome Sith Lord in the galaxy!", shouts Vader with pride as he exits the throne room and walks to his right once reaching the end of the hallway. A minute later he's back in view and shouts, "That was a closet!", as he walks off to the left, finally leaving the castle.

"Badcop, I want you and The Joker to take your own forces and make sure Vader doesn't mess this up for me!! Claim the Crystal Empire for your master!", shouts Lord Business.

"Right away Sir, I'll round up Joker along with our personal forces and see to it the Crystal Empire is in your control in no time!", shouts Badcop as he exits the throne room.

"You will fail at this invasion of yours!", shouts Celestia.

"Princess Twilight and her friends will protect the Crystal Empire to the fullest!",also shouts Luna.

"Yeah, I don't think so. My invasion forces being there under the command of Badcop, Vader, and The Joker say otherwise, we WILL conquer the Crystal Empire no matter what happens, just like we did to Ponyville and Canterlot!", shouted the tyrant.

"NEVER!!", shouts the Royal Pony Sisters in unison.

"It's nothing personal after all, IT'S JUST BUSINESS!!" yelled Lord Business followed by a maniacal laugh.

On the outskirts of Ponyville, was the parked getaway truck with the group trying to process what just happened: that they lost Ponyville to Lord Business.

"Well, it can't any worse I guess", said Wyldstyle in a gloomy way.

"If you're trying to make things feel better, that's not exactly helping", said Rarity with an angry tone

"Well it's not like things went okay back there!", shouted Wyldstyle.

"You don't need to remind me!", shouted Rarity as she and Wyldstyle were right in front of each other with an angry look, "Considering that we just lost Ponyville! Our home! You are twice as rude as Batman!"

"I'm right here", said Batman with a scary kind of angry look that told Rarity and Wyldstyle to cool it.

"Oh, sorry about what, I'm just on edge right now", said Rarity.

"So are we, Rarity, so are we", said Emmet.

Then Nightwing comes up to Batman with a look that meant he had some news, but not the good kind.

"Hey Bats! Got some news, I intercepted a communication that went between Lord Business and Luthor: That psycho-tyrant and his own forces took over Canterlot, and even incapacitated Princesses Celestia and Luna", said Nightwing.

"*gasps* Celestia and Luna! No!", said Twilight with concern, with Emmet and the MasterBuilders being told the Mane 6 and Crusaders were friends with the Royal Pony Sisters.

"That's not all, Luthor told Lord Business about this third kingdom called the Crystal Empire and knows that can be a hiding place for us", Nightwing continued, "and that the place is ruled by Twilight's sister-in-law Princess Cadence and her older brother Prince Shining Armor. Not to mention that Business already sent a big enough invasion force led by Badcop, Darth Vader, and The Joker to take over the place".

"Well Twilight, their your sister-in-law and brother, it's your call right now", said Emmet with confidence and a smile, "Whatever you decide, we'll back you up all the way".

Looking at how her all her friends, the ones she's known for much longer and the ones who didn't even belong in that world, were ready to support her with her choice no matter what, gave Twilight the confidence and courage she needed to see this through.

"Batman, take the wheel! And start driving!", shouted Twilight, as the Dark Knight gave her a smirk and got back behind the wheel as everyone got back inside the truck. Shortly after, they were on the road again.

"Just tell me where to go, and I'll get us there", said Batman.

"Just keep driving straight until we see some train-tracks, we turn right and follow those tracks. We need to get to the Crystal Empire as soon as possible, Cadence and Shining Armor are gonna need help keeping the empire safe from Lord Business," said Twilight, "And I'm sure Discord is going to meet us there, and we'll be glad to see him again".

"How come?", asked Green Lantern.

"Because he said it himself: he's somehow responsible for all of this", said Twilight, "So it's time to get some answers".

And with that said, the getaway truck filled with the last hope Equestria and the Lego world have make their way to their next destination: The Crystal Empire.

Crystal Empire Invasion

View Online

When we last left the MasterBuilders, they were on the run now. After a desperate and intense battle alongside their new friends, the Mane 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, against the much more bigger Micro-Manager army of Lord Business and his newly formed Syndicate of Doom, a team made up of some of the LEGO world's greatest villains including Lex Luthor and Darth Vader, the combined group was forced to flee from Ponyville as the tyrant's forces seized the whole town, along with that, the downfall of Canterlot and the Royal Pony Sisters. Now, under the command of Twilight and Emmet, the whole group made their way to the tyrant's next target: The Crystal Empire, ruled by Twilight's sister-in-law and older brother, Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, to help in defending Equestria's last kingdom from the clutches of Lord Business. While also searching for Discord, the Former Spirit of Chaos, who claims to have some part in the return of the tyrant, and finally get some answers.
------

After finding the railroad tracks that normally lead to the Crystal Empire, the getaway truck housing the entire group was getting anxious yet at the same time irritated for some when the possible outcome of losing the Crystal Empire to Lord Business is the truck being driven like it's carrying very delicate fine china or something.

"Hey Batman!", shouted Spike, one of the ones getting irritated, "Can't you make this thing go any faster? We'll probably never make it at this rate!"

"Do I look like I wanna waste my time with stupid complaints?!", shouted Batman from the drivers seat, "Someone's gonna say it's too fast, or someone's gonna say it's too slow, and back to back, over and over again! I've put up with junk like that before, and I'm done with that you hear me?! I AM DONE!!"

"If we're gonna get to the Crystal Empire in time to help Cadence and Shining Armor, we'll need to risk it!", shouted Twilight, "Batman, we need you to speed this up double time!"

"Oh you're SURE about that?!", asks Batman.

"YES!!!", yelled everyone else.

"If you guys insist!!", shouted Batman as he stops the truck and steps outside to use some leftover Lego pieces from creating the truck to quickly build and stick a trio a heavy duty jet turbines onto the sides and roof of the truck and gets back into the drivers seat.

"Excuse me, but just how fast will we be going? My mane is wind sensitive and I just had it washed and lathered", says Rarity with some concern.

"REALLY fast, kid", said Batman with a smirk on his face.

"Oh dear, perhaps it's be best if I were to take a rain check on this idea", said Rarity with a hint of fear in her voice.

"BUCKLE UP!!!", shouted Batman as he stomped hard on the gas pedal and engaged the turbines and everyone else was thrown into absolute terror screaming on the top of their lungs as the truck was going just as fast as Benny's Spaceship, which was insanely fast. It took another ten minutes, but the truck finally stopped right in front of the train station, with the train tracks between it and the grand entrance to the majestic kingdom that was missing for over a thousand years. and just after Batman parked the truck, everyone was still pretty terrified as they hopped off the truck.

"That... was most unpleasant", said Rarity with a shaking feel to her tone.

"Now you guys know how WE feel", said Scootaloo, referring to herself, Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom from when they were flown around Equestria crazy fast with Benny and his ship.

"Hey, we made it, and just in time too", said Batman, "the place looks like it's still in one piece, you're welcome".

"What do ya mean 'yer welcome'?! We coulda all done got ourselves a heart attack thanks to that stunt ya pulled!", shouted Applejack.

"Get off my back, kid!", shouted Batman, "I got us here fast enough after all".

"Whoa!! Is that it?!", shouted Emmet with amazement.

"It sure is, MasterBuilders", said Twilight in a proud manner, "I'd like to introduce to you: The Crystal Empire!"

"That is AWESOME!! I never knew it's be this great! I can't wait to get a look of this place", said Emmet with a smile on his face.

"We'll have plenty of time to give you all a tour later, Emmet", said Twilight, "right now, we have to get to the castle and warn my sister-in-law and brother about the invasion".

So with that said, the whole group made their way the castle located in the center of the empire. As they ran there, Emmet and the MasterBuilders got a good look at why the Crystal Empire got it's name: the way the place runs is just like Ponyville, or even Canterlot, but one real difference is that nearly everything looks to be made out of crystal, even the ponies residents themselves appeared to be crystal-form.

"Wow! Everything here looks so pretty!", said Unikitty with awe.

"I know! That's what I thought the first time around!", said Pinkie with joy.

"As Twilight mentioned back at the truck you two", said Vitruvius, "we need to focus on the task at hand".

"AWW! I REALLY wanted to see more", said Unikitty with sadness.

"Hey, when this is over, we can come back and throw a pie-eating contest!", shouted Pinkie, trying to cheer up Unikitty.

YAY!! Thank you Pinkie, you're ideas are the best!", shouted Unikitty with joy again.

"Hey! Before you said MINE were the best!", shouted Batman.

"I know! But I can't make up my mind sometimes!", shouted Unikitty in a happy way.

"That figures", said Batman.

In no time at all, the group made it to the throne room, which housed the two married and proud rulers of the Crystal Empire: Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, both who looked surprised to see Twilight and her friends seeing as how they weren't expecting their visit, but happy to see her again nonetheless.

"Twilight! I'm surprised to see you again so soon!", shoued Cadence with certain joy.

"Hey, nice to see my kid sister again!", shouted Shining Armor with joy as well, followed by a strange dance between Twilight and Candence along with a cheerful little song, which weirded out and impressed the MasterBuilders at the same time.

"Oh, that just a little something Cadence and I always do when we see each other", said Twilight, "We've been doing it since I was little, back when Cadence was my foal-sitter and all".

"Good to know", said Wyldstyle.

"Hey kiddo, don't mind me asking, but who, or what, the heck are these guys supposed to be?", asked Shining Armor as he and Cadence uneasily stared at the MasterBuilders.

"Guys, this is Emmet and the MasterBuilders, our friends", said Twilight, "who also happen to be from another world".

"Hey there your Majesties, it's a real pleasure to meet you!", shouted Emmet with pride and joy, "And as meet as I enjoy meeting you two at last, it's probably best that you listen to what we have to say".

Emmet and Twilight finished bringing Cadence and Shining Armor up to speed on what's happened so far, and that filled the two rulers with concern.

"So Ponyville AND Canterlot are both seized by these villainous forces?", asked Cadence.

"Afraid so, I am", said Yoda, "fallen, the two kingdoms have. Same to happen, it will be, to this empire".

"Not if I can help it!", shouted Shining Armor, "I'll send out my best men and have them guard every last inch of this place".

"Unfortunately, that's not going to be enough, Shining Armor", said Vitruvius, "You'll need our help to fend off this invasion, otherwise Lord Business will have already won".

"But what about Discord?", asked Cadence, "You said he had something to do with all this".

"He said he didn't really mean it", said Vitruvius, "and we believe him".

"Yeah, but the guy hasn't shown up yet, and we figured he'd be here to tell us how this happened".

"Ask and you shall receive, my dear!", shouted Discord as he appeared in front of the dual thrones.

"Discord, bout time you'd show your face!", shouted Rainbow, "Now tell us what's going on! And how YOU'RE the reason we gotta deal with Lord Business and his goons!"

"*sighs* Well, as promised back in Ponyville, I do OWE you all that explanation", said Discord with a touch of guilt, "You see, that thing I did with the Tree of Harmony and those seeds back in my past wasn't the only backup plan I had in taking down Celestia and Luna. Just before my last attempt to conquer Equestria, It took all my effort and power to create an orb of pure, unbridled, dark magic, even, in the event of my defeat, it would, on it's own, go off when the Royal Pony Sisters gave off a great tidal wave's worth of power, and emit a pair of dark magic masses that would fly off and seek them out, and once coming into contact, BOOM! Those two sisters would be corrupted, turning them into pure forces of evil, and they would do all the work for me and conquer Equestria. But even with that boost they got with help from the Elements of Harmony, it seemed like that wasn't enough to make that orb go off and do it's job".

"Until now, when that thing sensed the power from the Piece of Resistance and the Kragle when we came here", said Superman, "Those two masses followed us into Ponyville and they were coming for the two relics, and Emmet was carrying them both, but when 'President Business' and 'Goodcop' pushed him out of the way, they got hit with that dark energy".

"And as a result, THEY were the ones who became corrupt, sending them back to their old selves from what I heard of", said Discord, "so now you all know of how this mess started, it was because of me".

"This ain't the time for guilt partner, just bring that orb on over here and fix this", said Applejack.

"Well, it's not that simple, you see, It's pure unbridled magic as I said, and also unstable, if I teleport the orb here, that could cause it to go off again, but on a larger scale and corrupting all of us, and to be honest, I'm not interested in being evil again", said Discord.

"If you can't just bring that thing over here, then tell us where to find it", said Batman.

"That will have to wait until later, I'm afraid, you all have much more to worry about at the moment, I'll be back shortly, be sure to survive long enough for me to return! Goodbye!", shouted Discord.

"HOLD ON!", yelled Batman as Discord vanished once again, "I hate that guy".

"To be fair, ya seem to hate everyone", said AppleBloom.

"Only guys who REALLY bug the heck out of me", said Batman.

"Guys, I hear something, and it seems to be coming this way", said Sweetie Belle, and right away the group converged on the balcony to see what's going on, and they get a clear view of the entrance just outside of the empire, and see Darth Vader with his personal forces in tow, and is handed a megaphone to make his announcement.

"Greetings denizens of the Crystal Empire! I am Darth Vader of the Sith! And I have arrived to seize this kingdom in the name of my master, Lord Business! And nothing shall stand in our Ah! A bee! Get it away, I'm allergic to bees! OOF!", yelled Vader as he ran around in circles trying to get away from the bee only to run right into one of the two giant crystals that mark the entrance and border of the empire.

"If that's the best Lord Business can throw at us, we've got nothing to worry about", said Shining Armor with confidence.

"That's not the entire force, THAT IS!!", shouted Batman as he pointed just beyond Vader and his forces and saw two combined forces lead by Badcop, riding in his flying squad car, and The Joker, riding in his deadly Jokermobile.

"Hello there Crystal Empire!!", shouted Joker with his usual frightful smile on, "I hope you've been doing a lot of partying lately, because the party police is HERE!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!"

"We're not here to party, Joker, we have a job to do!", shouted Badcop from his flying squad car, "Now meet up with Vader and help him get back on track! We're taking over this kingdom for Lord Business one way or another! All units! Converge on the crystal palace and seize the prince and princess! Round up the citizens and open fire on any who resist! We've learned that the Mane 6 are here, including the MasterBuilders, do not destroy them, Lord Business wants them ALIVE!!" And with that, as the invasion forces converge toward the Crystal Empire, the group rushes outside underneath the crystal palace, right next to the Crystal Heart, the very core of the empire, to think of a plan.

"This be a lost cause now! Let's abandon ship mates, while we still can!", shouted MetalBeard.

"Not an option! We stand and fight!", shouted Twilight.

"She's right, we couldn't protect Ponyville, and we didn't even come close to helping Canterlot", said Emmet, "but we're NOT giving up on the Crystal Empire! Shout out if you're with us!"

WE ARE!!", yelled the whole group in unison.

"If we're gonna do this, I'm gonna need to build a ride so I can deal with the chumps in the sky and give Joker a big surprise", said Batman.

"Oh! Allow me to assist with that!", shouted Rarity as she ran over to the little carrier and pulls out a couple of pink and violet Lego pieces for Batman to start with and hands them to him, feeling pleased with herself. Until Batman gives Rarity a mean glare as he sticks a bomb on both pieces and tosses them into the air just before they went boom.

"I ONLY work in black", said Batman as he ran to the carrier, had it unload the bunch of black Lego parts he needs and starts building away crazy fast, "And sometimes, VERY, VERY dark gray", he added as he also included some gray parts into the build, along with a few hints of yellow and orange, put a sticker with his Bat-logo on the front, and is finally in the pilot seat of his completed Bat-Copter, complete with dual laser/missile launchers, thrusters, a spotlight, and a crane.

"Oh, I see, well sometimes, black IS trendy in some places", said Rarity.

"Black is trendy ALL THE TIME for me, kid. Hey MetalBeard!", shouted Batman, "Wanna get some altitude?!"

"Aye Bat-mate! I think it be time to show these scoundrels that the mighty MetalBeard conquers even the very skies themselves!!!", shouted MetalBeard as Batman started to take off in the Batcopter, but waited long enough to lower the crane for MetalBeard to grab onto.

"Then grab on and help me show these chumps who's boss!", shouted Batman as MetalBeard got a hold of the hook and the two fearless combatants flew towards the enemy just as they finally reached the empire.

"HERE'S HOW WE DO IT, PIRATE STYLE!!!!", yelled MetalBeard as he swung from the crane of the Batcopter and blasted at multiple Micro-Managers and other flying squad cars with his double-barrel blaster, while Batman opened fire at the enemy himself with the Bat-Copter's own dual laser launchers.

"Hey, Rainbow! You can come with me! I can fly too, I got my own blaster and everything! Great, let's go!", shouted Benny as he flew around shooting at any enemy threat coming his way while laughing like a lunatic.

"Come on! Batman gets MetalBeard, and I'm stuck with Benny the nutjob?! PLEASE!", shouted Rainbow just befor she saw how Benny led one of the Micro-Managers chasing him into slamming against another as he flew out of the way in time, "On the other hand, he does know his way out of a brawl, hang on Benny! Help's on the way!", Rainbow added as she took off and got Benny's back as she used her breakneck speeds and superb flying skills to knock a flying squad car into another, making them both fly out of control, and then flew right above a Micro-Manager and dive-kicked it into the ground.

"Well guys, it's showtime!", shouted Indy. And so, the others helped engage the enemy: Emmet, Twilight, Vitruvius, Cadence, and Indy stood together at the crystal palace grounds while a whole bunch of Robo-SWAT drones approached them, and sparks flew as Team One charged at the squadron, from Vitruvius knocking back a couple of drones with a wave of force from his staff, to Cadence blasting one drone back into a few others, from Indy grabbing one drone with his whip and swinging it around knocking down five others trying to surround him then tossing that one against a wall, to Twilight kicking at three drones then blasting four more with her magic, she then turned to Emmet to check if he needed any help, but clearly he was turning out fine, as he was all over punching one drone and then kicking another one, then pulling out the Piece of Resistance quickly and backswings it while it emits a wave of energy blowing away six others, then using the downed drones he fought to quickly build a big five-foot-tall makeshift hammer, leaps into the air, then slams the ground with it as the shockwave knocks away the remaining drones attacking his team.

"Amazing! I've never seen ANYONE fight like that before!", shouted Twilight with surprise.

"Turns out every MasterBuilder can fight like this", said Emmet, "also, I watched 'Kung Fu Panda' over a hundred times, and that was awesome!!"

"*chuckles* That explains alot!", said Twilight.

Meanwhile, Wyldstyle, Applejack, and Rarity were cornered in the market district by various drones and a few walking Micro-Managers, and a few of the drones laughed at the thought of being beaten up by a trio of girls, and they'll wish they were right. WyldStyle jumps right between two drones and ducks just as they blasted each other, then grabs another and tosses that one into two more, and pulls off a powerful whirlwind kick as she took down seven more drones. That's when one of the Micro-Managers locked onto Wyldstyle and was about to launch a missile until Applejack tossed her lasso right around it's legs and pulls it from right under and causes it to hit the ground right before it launched the rocket, only for it to fly into and destroying the second Micro-Manager instead. While Rarity kicks at a pair of drones into a building, and then uses her magic to extend a scarf she found lying around right in front of the third walking Micro-Manager's legs, which was making it's way to Applejack, and then trips and falls right onto a few other drones getting ready to blast Rarity and end up crushed, finishing off the drones attacking Team Two.

"That's what happens when you treat girls like a joke!", shouted Wyldstyle.

"Darn tootin'!", shouted Applejack.

"Most certainly!", added Rarity.

Then, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were stuck with Pinkie and Unikitty in the southside of the empire, surrounded by eight drones and four flying Micro-Managers. Just like the last time, a few drones thought it funny that a bunch of girls were actually going to fight them, but just like last time, that didn't go very well. Pinkie pulls out her usual party cannon and blows away four of the eight drones, while AppleBloom kicks at two more drones toward Sweetie Belle as she crouched onto the ground and caused the two drones to trip over her, and Scootaloo comes in and kicks them in the face herself to knock them out, just before the Crusaders noticed the last two drones aiming their blasters at them, until Sweetie Belle uses her own magic to land a couple of buckets onto their heads while Scootaloo pulls out her trusty scooter and rams right at them. But that's when the four flying Micro-Managers converged on Pinkie and the Crusaders, and, seeing that, once again,just staying positive won't do any good like back at Bricksburg, Unikitty freaked out in a blast of rage as she had a menacing look on her face, and her whole body turned red and yellow, the colors of fire, and became Angrykitty long enough to leap at the four flying Micro-Managers and tear them apart one at a time in a flash. And that's when she converted back into Unikitty right after she finished the job, and then cheered about their victory as Pinkie and the Crusaders joined in.

"WHOO HOOO!! Wow! That was a 'total blast!'", shouted Pinkie.

"I GET IT!! Because you BLASTED them with your super cool party cannon!! YAY TEAMWORK!!", shouted Unikitty.

"HA! Those guys never knew what 'hit' them!", shouted Scootaloo.

"*chuckles* 'Hit em', I get it", said AppleBloom.

"I don't get it, *giggles*, just kidding, I do", said Sweetie Belle.

After doing what they can, Yoda, Nightwing, Fluttershy, Spike, and Shining Armor took down the drones attacking them just in time to confront Darth Vader in the east quadrant. Shining Armor felt too confident that they could take on Vader easily, but was proven wrong as Vader used the Force to blow them away. Yoda made his move first as he and Vader engaged in a lightsaber duel, the Jedi-Master and Sith Lord seemed evenly matched as the're lightsabers clashed with one another multiple times with a few flips added, until Vader knocked Yoda's lightsaber aside and kicks him across the street, seeing Yoda get tossed around like that made Fluttershy very upset as she flew right in front of Vader to make her move.

"You have no right hurting my friends like that!", slightly shouted Fluttershy, "And just for that, you get 'The Stare'!", and like that, Fluttershy engaged in a serious staring position and looking at Vader right in the face like she's trying to put him in a hypnotic state, but Vader just stood there unimpressed.

"You're wasting your time, child. I am a mighty Sith Lord! And NO Mind-Trick can overcome my will, not that of a Jedi, and especially that of foolishly young one such as AHH!", said Vader but was cut off there as he was caught off-guard long enough for Nightwing to knock him across the street into Shining Armor, who in turn kicked Vader against a coffee shop, while Spike grabbed a teapot and splashed piping hot coffee at Vader's face, who was then blinded by the hot beverage and was swinging his lightsaber like crazy, while Yoda walked up to him and their lightsabers clashed a couple of times just before Yoda flip-kicked Vader up into the air, and lands back on the ground in time to use the Force and sends Vader flying across town.

"He was smart enough not to fall for a mind trick, but dumb enough not to pay attention to his surroundings!", shouted Nightwing.

Meanwhile on the southeast side of town, a crowd of ponies were being chased by a herd of Micro-Managers, and one was just about to capture a stray pony, until Superman come flying in and knocks it into the ground, picks it up and tosses it into another one, resulting in a big explosion. Then Wonder Woman flies in and knocks away two others and then dodged another one's laser-fire long enough to use her own lasso to get ahold of it and tosses it into the ground. Three more were converging on the Man of Steel and the Amazon Princess, until Green Lantern flew right behind them and used his power ring to create two giant boxing-gloves and smash up two of the three Micro-Manager, and then creates a bus and slams it on top of the third one, but followed by a wad of super-strong pink capture gunk(otherwise known as chewing-gum) being launched from the third Micro-Manager right at Superman and knocks him to the ground stuck with only his head sticking out.

"AHH! I can't move! Not this again!", shouted Superman with irritation, while Green Lantern quickly notices and, not even thinking about what happened last time, heads down to help out his role model.

"Don't worry Superman! I'll get you out of there!", shouted Green Lantern as he ran toward the entrapped Man of Steel.

"No Don't!", yelled Superman, but was too late as, once again, the Emerald Knight ends up with his arms stuck, followed by his legs.

"Oh my gosh, my hands are stuck! My legs are stuck as well!", shouted Green Lantern with surprise, as if it never happened before.

"I super-hate you", said Superman with a hint of anger, and the two were approached by a trio of police dropships, until Wonder Woman comes in and smashes them up good, then turns her attention to the entrapped duo.

"Honestly, I'll never know what you boys would do without me", said Wonder Woman with a smirk on her face.

"Get captured by the forces of an evil tyrant, I bet that's it!", shouted Green Lantern, "But it'd be nothing me and my best buddy can't handle!"

"I'm VERY close to filing a restraining order against you, 'buddy'", said Superman with an angrier tone just as he used his heat-vision to melt away the gunk into a big puddle, freeing Green Lantern and himself as well.

Meanwhile, Rainbow and Benny were making real progress as well, until Badcop comes flying in riding his flying squad car.

"Only authorized personel are allowed up here, you two are in my territory!!", shouted Badcop.

"Oh yeah, says the guy working for an evil tyrant! Think again, pal! These skies belong to us!", shouted Rainbow.

"Yeah, and only ponies and spaceships are allowed around up here! Especially SPACESHIPS! SPACESHIPS! SPACESHIPS!!!", shouted Benny.

"Fine, you punks won't do this the easy way, the hard way will work just as well!", shouted Badcop as he readies his flying squad car's dual laser turrets and starts firing away at them. Badcop, Rainbow and Benny were dodging laser fire coming at each other, until Benny manages to use his own blaster to take out the turrets on Badcop's flying squad car, and then Badcop sticks out the window and aims his own personal blaster at Benny and was about to shoot, until Rainbow comes flying in with the same trick as before, and dive-kicks the squad car straight toward the ground.

"I'd really love to let those two off with a warning and all", said Badcop lying in the half-wrecked flying squad car with his good-cop face on, then turning back to his bad-cop face and says, "But I won't! This is clearly a violation of Flight-based regulations!!", and then he tosses a chair out of the car in anger.

Meanwhile, Batman, riding in his Bat-Copter, and MetalBeard, hanging from the crane, were in pursuit of The Joker, driving around the entire kingdom blasting up the place in his own Jokermobile.

"Hey Bats! Been a while!! OOOOO! And it seems to me you've built yourself that ol' whirlybird of yours! And it even comes with a metal pirate!! Real Nifty there!", shouted Joker from his car.

"I'm full of surprises, Joker! Now pull over, and we'll try not to ruin the paint job on that hunk o' junk on wheels!", shouted Batman.

"Aye! Or refuse and fight us, I be good either way!", shouted MetalBeard.

"Tempting, but you know me better than that, Bats! I'm not the surrendering type!", yelled Joker as he switched on his car's rear turrets and has them firing at the Bat-Copter, while Batman engages the Bat-Copter's own dual lasers. The Jokermobile and Bat-Copter were blasting away at each other, until MetalBeard took notice of a few flying Micro-Managers chasing them, and tries to blast them out of the sky, but can't very well get good aim with Batman swerving the chopper to avoid Joker's laser-fire.

"Bat-mate! I be having trouble ending the flying scallywags chasing us with me blaster! Stop swerving!!", shouted MetalBeard from below the Bat-Copter.

"Fine then! I've been wanting to bring down Joker with my own hands anyway! I'm putting this thing on auto-pilot so you can deal with those robo-chumps while the clown and me settle things like men!", shouted Batman as he engaged the auto-pilot and jumps out of the cockpit and glides to the Jokermobile, while the Bat-Copter makes a right turn on it's own giving Batman some space while MetalBeard continues to dangle from the crane and can finally blast at the pursuing Micro-Managers with ease. Batman lands on the Jokermobile and, taking notice quickly, The Joker himself puts his car on auto-pilot as well and jumps onto the roof of his own car to duke it out with his greatest enemy.

"HA HA! About time you'd decide to fight like a man!", shouted Joker.

"I Couldn't agree more!", shouted Batman. Joker makes his move first by pulling out a blaster only for a tiny flag with "Bang" written on it to pop out, but then pulls out a real blaster and takes a shot at Batman, only for the Dark Knight to dodge left and knock the blaster aside with a batarang as the two legends finally go hand-to-hand. The two rivals pummel the living daylights out of each other in their own ways, from Joker shocking Batman with a lethal joy-buzzer, to Batman landing a solid uppercut on Joker, and it seemed like the fight would last for hours, or even DAYS, but not really. Batman quickly turned to the sky and noticed the Bat-Copter coming back for him, with MetalBeard using his blaster to finish off the last of the Micro-Managers that were chasing him , and that gave Batman an idea. Getting plain sick and tired of how long that fight was taking, Batman finally ends it by tossing a well-aimed explosive batarang at one of the Jokermobile's front wheels, causing it to lose control, while Batman using his grapple-gun to get back to the Bat-Copter and shuts off auto-pilot as he re-enters the cockpit, and watched as Joker stumbles and falls back into the car as it swerves and crashes against the town library.

"Wow Bats! What a ride! THANKS FOR PLAYING! HA HA HA!!!", yelled Joker with a maniacal laugh and smile as usual, treating everything as if it were one big joke.

"That guy outta find a dictionary and look up 'Loser' while he's there", said Batman flying the Bat-Copter.

"Aye!! Or better yet! He be looking up 'Sack o' Fish Guts' instead!", shouted MetalBeard, still dangling from the chopper's crane.

Eventually, the group was able to get back together and drive Badcop, Joker, Vader, and their remaining forces to the empire entrance/border.

"Leave the Crystal Empire, NOW", said Twilight, "And tell Lord Business this kingdom is OFF LIMITS!"

"YEAH!, what Twilight said, to you guys, just now", said Emmet.

"And on that note...ALL UNITS! Fall back to Canterlot! IMMEDIATELY!!!", shouted Badcop as he flew off in his wrecked flying squad car, Joker drove off in his messed up Jokermobile, and the remaining forces flew, ran or drove off as well, leaving Vader behind until it turned out he wasn't paying attention and figured things out as he panics and stumbles to get back into his personal hovercraft and flies off as well, and with that, the group celebrated their victory until they turned and looked at the mess left all over the Crystal Empire, it's basically what happened in Bricksburg all over again.

"OH COME ON!!!!!", yelled Batman with disbelief and anger.

Shortly, the group was able to get back to the palace in time to find an old friend waiting for them while leaning back in a recliner chair.

"Well! What a fine job you all did! Congratulations are in order!", shouted Discord with delight.

"Yeah thanks, except we gotta clean up this darn kingdom from top to bottom now!!", yelled Batman, "And you still haven't told us where we can find this stupid orb you talked about!"

"Oh right, THAT! I almost forgot!", shouted Discord as he got out of the chair, "It's not that hard really, I hid it in the last place anyone would look: none other than the Everfree Forest! Right in the very center of the forest, there's bound to be a very big rock in an open field, once you move it, you'll find there's an impressive staircase that leads to some underground chambers with an added maze, go the right way, and you'll find a giant set of doors that lead to one big empty room with the orb right in the center on a pedestal, I'll of course be able to provide you with a map so you won't get lost down there".

"Thank you very much for your help", said Fluttershy.

"Hold up! If it ain't that hard, then come along with us so you can put that thang to good use", said Applejack.

"Well, you see it's not that simple at the same time", said Discord with regret, "Yes the orb can fix things, but despite it being all powerful, it's not indestructible, if the orb's destroyed before it can be used to drain the dark energy from Lord Business and Badcop, that dark energy won't be going anywhere".

"So we gotta smash the thing after we drain those two, got it!", shouted Rainbow.

"Well...there's more actually", said Discord.

"Ugh! There's ALWAYS more!", shouted Batman.

"The dark energy in Lord Business allowed him knowledge of how he became evil again, and that includes the orb's hiding place. So since the dark energy is keeping him from wanting to be good again, he's sent that Man-Bat fellow and his own personal forces to guard the orb in case you were to find it", said Discord, "And there's just one more little thing I need to tell you all".

OH COME ON!! REALLY?! UNBELIEVABLE!!", yelled Batman.

"In case if the orb were found and I were forced to reverse the damage done, I made it so that only two individuals of my choosing could use the orb, whether it'd be one of them or both of them, and the process is permanent".

"So you have to make it so that two of us can use the orb?", asked Sweetie Belle.

"Precisely my dear! You outta get an award for such quick deduction", said Discord.

"Aw thanks! I try", said Sweetie Belle while slightly blushing.

"Alright then, I say you zap my and Batman, we're the two best, we can do it!", shouted Rainbow.

"Now you're thinking my way, kid", said Batman.

"I vote Emmet and Twilight should be the ones to handle that orb", said Wyldstyle.

"You really think it should be US?", asked Emmet.

"You two are obviously THE best of us, you've lead us this far, which is why you guys should handle that thing", said Wyldstyle, "and besides, we'll be there to back you up, as long as no one here has a problem with that". And after a brief moment, no one opposed Wyldstyle's idea, especially Rainbow and Batman, who insisted on it being them.

"I don't hear anyone saying anything about it", said Batman.

"Then it's settled: Emmet and Twilight should hold the responsibility of controlling the orb when we get to it", added Vitruvius, while all that talk encouraged Emmet and Twilight to accept this 'burden', knowing that their friends have faith in them.

"Alright, we'll do it", said Twilight.

"Same here", added Emmet.

"Splendid! Now you two just need to hold still, this won't hurt much. It may hurt a whole lot actually", said Discord as he did a snap of his fingers and somehow Twilight and Emmet were given an incredibly painful shock, but turned out just fine afterward.

"I don't feel any different", said Twilight with confusion.

"Yeah, me neither", said Emmet with confusion as well.

"You're not supposed to feel anything", said Discord, "Now, I suppose I'll be on my way".

"Wait! I have an idea, Shining Armor and me can help the crystal ponies in the clean-up effort no problem", said Cadence, "But we'll need to fortify our defenses while you guys are gone".

"You never know when Lord Business might send another invasion force, and we'll need all the help we can get", said Shining Armor, "Especially a certain trickster who seems to be the right guy for the job".

"You want ME to help keep the empire safe? Even after learning that I'M the reason this all happened in the first place?", asked Discord with surprise.

"The past is the past, Discord", said Vitruvius, "we can't change that, but we can still change what's going on now".

"Not only that, but you're our friend, and friends ALWAYS help friends", said Fluttershy as she gave Discord a big hug, knowing that he needed one.

"Out of everyone here Fluttershy, you've always trusted me the most, I thank you for that", said Discord with a smile on his face, "Very well, I'll stay and help keep this place safe, and I'll give it my best!"

"Thank you", said Fluttershy.

"Hey, that's what friends are for", said Discord as he hugged Fluttershy back.

"Good luck, kiddo, and stay safe for us", said Shining Armor as he and Cadence gave Twilight a hug.

"I'll be rooting for the filly I ALWAYS loved sitting for back then", said Cadence.

"Thanks you two, I promise we'll do our very best!", shouted Twilight.

"That's right! Everyone, let's head for the truck and move on out, time to visit the Everfree Forest!", shouted Emmet just before the whole group got back to the getaway truck with Batman behind the wheel again, seeing as how he's leaving the Bat-Copter behind for when he'll need it later, and with Cadence, Shining Armor, and Discord watching from far away, the group made they're way to their next destination: The Everfree Forest.

Author's Notes:

I hope you all enjoyed chapter three of this epic crossover, considering I strived to make it the most action-packed chapter in the whole story. And quickly talking about those two parts where two all-girl teams of the group were able to fend off a bunch of evil robots, which thought would be easy to take on a few girls only to end up getting clobbered in the end, no offense to ANYONE when I say this to all girls who read this story and take notice to how I made those two parts of chapter three work out, I speak on behalf of all my fellow dudes when I say, it's to help prove that girls DO play an important role in the world, far greater than anyone expected, and that girls are NOT to be underestimate them, seeing as how girls are NOT complete pushovers, they can be just as tough as dudes and deserve real respect.

And as for the story's remaining two chapters, I'll make sure they're taken care of VERY soon, I know I'm being redundant when I once again say you should all get excited because EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!:)

It's All Fun And Games Until A Tyrant Takes Over

View Online

Last time, The MasterBuilders and their new friends and allies, the Mane 6 and Cutie Mark Crusaders of Equestria, had finally reached the once long-lost kingdom of the Crystal Empire, ruled by Twilight's sister-in-law and older brother:Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor. Once they had arrived at this place, they had to make a stand against the invading forces of Badcop, The Joker, and Darth Vader, who were sent to conquer the empire in the name of Lord Business. After a fierce and grueling battle, the group was able to drive out the invaders and keep the Crystal Empire safe, for now at least. Afterword, the group once again ran into Discord, who finally explained the cause of the tyrant's return,which, in short, was a powerful orb that could only be used by two individuals of Discord's choosing, which happened to be Twilight and Emmet, and that the orb would be located in a secret labyrinth underneath the Everfree Forest, also which, unfortunately, was known to Lord Business, who took action by sending Man-Bat and his forces to guard the orb from the heroes should they come for it. Armed with this knowledge and newfound courage, the heroes made their way to the Everfree Forest, which was also located just outside of Ponyville, one step closer to saving both worlds from certain destruction.
------

Once again relying on the crazy dangerous but reliable triple thrusters on the getaway truck, the heroes had finally arrived at the Everfree Forest, fortunate enough that they hadn't alerted Lex Luthor and his forces, who were still stationed and in control of Ponyville, except for Man-Bat and his forces, who were ordered by Lord Business, through Luthor, to head to the underground chambers and protect the orb. Once they arrived, the heroes made their way through the forest, trying to locate the open field Discord described, which was supposed to be the very center of the Everfree Forest.

"This is ridiculous!", shouted an increasingly irritated Rainbow, "We should've stopped by Ponyville and take down baldy and his army while we had the chance!"

"You would be wise to think before you act, Rainbow", said Vitruvius, "If we tried to take on Luthor's forces again, they would alert Lord Business to our presence, and we'd up to our necks in evil robots so much that we'd never get to the orb. This may be our best and only chance of securing the orb and put an end to all this".

"Ugh! Fine! But I still say we'd be able to take' em!", shouted Rainbow.

"That makes two of us, kid", said Batman, with a need for fighting just as strong as Rainbow's.

"Alright everypony, we're just about near the center, so we need to be EXTRA careful from here on out", said Twilight.

"GOT IT", said everyone in unison, and shortly, they've finally reached the very open field, marking the center of the Everfree Forest, but then the heroes quickly went into hiding as they spotted four Robo-Swats guarding an eight-foot-tall rock in the heart of the field, which no doubt hid the stairway to the secret labyrinth Discord told them about.

"It's just four rustbuckets, let's get over there and take them out", said Rainbow as Batman and herself were just about to strom over there until Emmet blocked their path.

"Hold it, guys", said Emmet, " We try to go in hard and loud, Man-Bat might find out we're here and he'll tell Luthor, and if that happens...".

"WE'RE DOOMED", said Rainbow and Batman in unison.

"So what are we supposed to do?", asked Rainbow, "Go over there and ASK them to let us in? I doubt it".

"Oh I have a plan already", said Emmet with a confident smirk on his face. A moment later the four drones were approached by Applejack and AppleBloom disguised as two salesmen strolling a bulky brown and orange sales-kiosk in front of them.

"Halt! This area is OFF LIMITS, you are to vacate this location or face arrest under the order of Lord Business!", shouted the head drone.

"There's no need for trouble, mah good friend!", said Applejack in a fake guy's voice, "We only need a moment of yer time! Y'all must work up quite the thirst guarding this here rock!"

"Yeah! And we've got just the thing!", said AppleBloom, also in a fake guy's voice, "our ALL-Natural Robo-Shake! Made with the finest oil, this here shake outta take care of that thirst and even give y'all the boost ya need! And the first drink's free!", the four drones were still thinking about this odd sale which just so happened to have been offered to these particular bots guarding this rock, until the head bot made a decision in which the others were happy to go with.

"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? FREE DRINK!!", shouted the head bot as he and the others each grabbed a can of this delectable drink from the kiosk counter and started gulping it crazy fast and each producing a bing noise indicating they were quite pleased. "This stuff tastes like Robo-Heaven! WHOOO!"

"And that's not all! As our first here customers, we're even including a mighty fine helping of whoopin'!", shouted Applejack as she tore off her disguise, followed by AppleBloom as she tore off her disguise as well and tossed it at the first two drones, blinding them long enough for Applejack to give them a good old fashioned apple-bucking kick and send them flying to the other side of the field. That's when the other two drones closest to the sales-kiosk panicked and pulled out their blasters and were about to open fire, until the kiosk instantly transformed into MetalBeard, who in turn pulled out his sword and had his torso do a 360 degree spin as he slashed at the other two drones and took their heads off.

"Them bucket o' bolts fell for our trick hook, line, and sinker! YARGHH!!", shouted MetalBeard.

"Darn tootin'! Can't wait for more!", shouted AppleBloom.

"Not now sis, We still got a lot more work ahead of us", said Applejack as she signaled the others to advance to the rock.

"See? I told you guys I had a plan", said Emmet as he was talking to Rainbow and Batman, who just wanted to go all-out.

"Alright, I'll admit that was pretty cool", said Rainbow.

"Eh, I could've done better", said Batman, as usual seeming as if unimpressed with anyone elses plan working out well that isn't his own.

"Stand back guys, I got this", said Superman as he effortlessly moved the rock aside, revealing the secret stairway to the labyrinth, while Twilight pulled out the map Discord gave them.

"Alright guys, this map is supposed to lead us through the maze to the chamber doors, but there are sure to still be some traps set up down there, so stay alert".

"Got it, and if something DOES happen, Superman can get the job done way better than anyone here, and his best friend has his back all the way", said Green Lantern.

"That's it, I'm DEFINITELY filing for a restraining order when this is over", said Superman.

"That's enough, boys, let's get moving!", shouted Wonder Woman as the heroes made their way downward. As they ventured on through the maze, they were already starting to encounter some of the traps as mentioned, from Benny nearly getting crushed by a hidden boulder from above, to Rarity struggling to get through a cloud of poisonous gas, to the whole group getting ambushed by a horde of vicious timberwolves, and after all that, they finally reached a corridor, which leads to a big hallway where the chamber doors were located at the far end, but unfortunately, as revealed, Man-Bat and two dozen of his Robo-SWATS were guarding the doors. Then the group huddled just out Man-Bat's sights to come up with a plan.

"I say we take these punks!", said Rainbow.

"Yeah, let's show these guys what's coming!", added Scootaloo.

"Obviously, you haven't been listening to a word I said earlier", said Vitruvius, "no one ever listens to the blind old mystic".

"Actually, this was part of my plan", said Emmet, "We go in fast and hard now before anyone over there can call Luthor and warn him about us being here".

"Finally someone gets it!", said Rainbow.

"About time you thought things OUR way, Brickowski", said Batman, "Consider yourself 20% more respected".

"And even 20% cooler to add to that", added Rainbow.

"Alright then, if that's how we'll do it, Batman, you have the honor", said Vitruvius as Batman carefully tossed a set of heavy duty smoke bombs into the hallway, and in no time, the whole hallway was barely visible.

"What's going on?!", shouted Man-Bat, "I can't see anything! It's gotta be those lame heroes, quick, someone call the boss!"

"Okay guys, CHARGE!!", shouted Emmet as he himself, Twilight, Rainbow, Batman and Nightwing, Applejack, and Wyldstyle rushed toward Man-Bat and his forces, who desperately tried to find their way through the smoke. The others who hanged back in case something goes wrong could barely make out what's going on in that smoke cloud, Batman didn't make his smoke bombs "heavy duty" for nothing after all, but they were able to hear what's going on and did notice several things flying out of the smoke cloud in all directions, such as magic blasts, batarangs, lasers, dynamite, and mostly various drones getting knocked out of the smoke. The smoke cleared just in time for everyone to see Rainbow head-butt Man-Bat right at the chamber doors, knocking him out in the process.

"Ha! Looks like YOU'RE the lame one around here pal!", shouted Rainbow as she did a short victory twirl, while Twilight overviews the situation.

"Great jobs guys, but we're not done yet", said Twilight.

"Figures there'd be more than ONE buzzkill around here", said Batman with irritation as finishes up slamming one drone against the wall and throwing it on the ground.

"Yeah, REAL buzzkill sometimes, by the way I checked the radios these guys carried", said Nightwing", and it looks like we got 'em before anyone made the call, so we should be good".

"So how in tarnation are we gonna get these doors open? Somethin' tells me Discord never done bother to make a key, and there aren't any handles here", said Applejack.

"We could try ramming them open with something pretty big", said Sweetie Belle.

"Or I could use my heat vision to melt the doors down without any effort required", added Superman as he was just about to fire his heat-vision, until MetalBeard pushes him aside and shoots one big blast from his double-barrel blaster and it produced so much force the doors went flying to the other side of the room it concealed, and even freaked out the others in the process.

"OR we be smart and quit flappin' yer gums and taking some REAL ACTION Blue-Boy!!", yelled MetalBeard as he lowered his blaster while the rest of the group entered the room and gazed upon the orb itself, just as Discord described: A relic of pure, unrelenting dark magic and unspeakable evil, lying on top of a short pedestal.

"Pfft, really? That's the do-hickey behind all this? I kinda figured it'd be bigger", said Rainbow.

"Don't take this thing for granted, Rainbow", said Twilight, "as Discord explained, this orb is capable of far greater power".

"So what pray tell are we to do now?", asked Rarity, "If no one minds me asking".

"I do", added Batman.

"Not quite what I meant", added Rarity with a slightly angry tone.

"The way I see it, we need to try to sneak into Canterlot, get to Lord Business and either me or Twilight use the orb on him, along with Badcop, and fix all this", said Emmet, "We can probably take care of those other villains no problem, but Lord Business is pulling the strings, and he's the only guy who can fully control and turn off all the drones and Micro-Managers, the bigger threat, if we stop HIM, we stop all of them at once".

"The rest of my friends and I pretty much know the whole layout of Canterlot, and that includes the castle", said Twilight with certainty , "Lord Business is no doubt gonna be hold up in the throne room, we can probably have two teams including myself and Emmet sneak into the castle, and hope that the team with the orb gets to the throne room undetected while everyone else tries to sneak through Canterlot taking care of the toughest defenses in case we get caught. And as long as we're careful, we should be able to pull this off".

"Yeah, SHOULD doesn't really help me build confidence," said Batman.

"Same here, dude", added Rainbow.

"You know what helps ME build confidence?! A load of confetti!!", yelled Pinkie happily.

"GLITTER helps ME build LOTS OF CONFIDENCE!", yelled Unikitty, also happily.

"I gotta say, it ain't the most reliable plan around, but I reckon we'd best take a chance here!", shouted Applejack.

"Exactly! It's risky, I'll admit that, but this may be our best chance of saving both our worlds", said Twilight.

"Indeed, we have to risk it", said Vitruvius, "but if anyone wants to stay out of this, just speak up". For a couple of moments, no one said a single thing.

"I'd rather be beside my friends than sitting back and doing nothing to help", said Fluttershy, "no matter how scared I am".

"Well it's settled then! Come on guys, we got a castle to breach, or something!", shouted Emmet as the others followed his example as everyone followed the map through the maze again to get to the surface, and return to the getaway truck with the orb in tow, and still managing not to alert Luthor and his forces, they made their way to Canterlot, hoping to finally clean up this whole mess.

Once Canterlot was in view, the entire kingdom looked more like an armed fortress, and just to avoid getting seen or heard, Batman switched off the thrusters and had the truck in in stealth mode, at first making the truck appear in black( there's no surprise), until he got it right and had the truck look invisible. Once pulling up and parking just nearby a mountainside so they still can't be spotted, the group got off the truck and went into the designated teams: the two teams charged with trying to get to the throne room, and to Lord Business, armed with the orb, were one team with Emmet, Wyldstyle, Batman, and Indy, while the second team includes Twilight, Applejack, Nightwing, and Superman, with everyone else in their own large teams of two tasked with trying to deal with the villains under the tyrant's command and their forces, or at least take care of the heaviest defenses and toughest bots in case they get caught, meaning a lower risk of capture or having to struggle fighting to get out. Twilight's team were already in the castle ballroom, which was fortunate for them to be the least guarded place in the whole kingdom.

"Mighty fine of ya to be on our team, Supes, we'll need some real muscle to get to the throne room", said Applejack.

"No problem, anything to help bring justice back to Equestria", said Superman, "that, and the longer I'm nowhere near Green Lantern, the better".

"Focus team, we're still a long way from the throne room, let's just hope Emmet's team are making equal progress as much as we are", said Twilight.

"We should be hoping that the others are taking care of those toughest defenses outside, I don't wanna get blown to bits after taking just a few steps for the exit", said Nightwing, as it just so happens, the others were in their own big teams of two, sneaking through town and disabling or wrecking some of the toughest bots or defenses, from Spike using the scent of hot and fresh motor oil with help of his dragon breath to lure a squadron of skeletrons into a cafe and Rainbow and Yoda kick and slash them apart discretely, to Fluttershy using her stare to mesmerize a couple of walking Micro-Managers with bigger and deadlier rocket launchers just at the edge of town while Rarity uses some curtains to tie them all together just in time for Wonder Woman to pick them up and toss them at Green Lantern, who in turn emits a baseball-bat construct and lands a home run as the three bots flew into the distance without anyone noticing.

Meanwhile, Emmet's team were sneaking through room after room in the main hallways, which took a tad bit long since there's Robo-SWATs at every turn, as they're currently their hiding in one of the many guest bedrooms, and they were lucky themselves seeing as how the drones actually believe the rooms themselves were empty, that no one's hiding in any of them, as dangerous as these bots are, their obviously not the brightest around.

"Wow, I was not expecting there to be so many of those guys", said Emmet.

"Well, we really shouldn't be surprised, that tyrant is dead-set on keeping this place safe from us", said Indy.

"It'd actually be less lame if those tin-heads just went on break already", said Batman.

"We should be grateful they won't bother searching the rooms", said Wyldstyle, "anyway, let's try to keep moving guys, I'm sure Twilight's team are already close to the throne room".

"Yeah you're right, let's go", said Emmet as he and the rest of his team left the bedroom and made a break for it as soon as a drone made a left at the end of the hall. Surprisingly, both teams were just about nearing the throne room, while Lord Business, with a very furious look on his face, was pacing back and forth with Princesses Celestia and Luna were still frozen by the essence of the Kragle, but were now relocated next to the short stairway leading to their thrones so they can be monitored just in case, and that's when the tyrant made a usually loud demand.

"BADCOP!!! GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!!", yelled the tyrant, and right away his demand was carried.

"Yes Sir! Reporting for duty!", shouted Badcop as he entered the throne room and stepped up to his master, waiting for further orders, instead only got into some trouble.

"How could you let this happen? YOU! Of ALL my fearsome generals have failed me at this very simple task?!", demanded Lord Business.

"Lord Business", said Badcop, "I know things appear to be bleak, and that those heroes may have the upper hand at the moment but...".

"YOU FAILED TO CONQUER THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!! And the same goes to Vader and Joker, later those two will get what's coming to them as well!", shouted Lord Business as he kicked Badcop right into the throne room doors with one of his giant stilt legs, "In the mean time, get back outside and do your job!!"

"I understand sir, I'll get right on it!", shouted Badcop, unmoved by his master's temper, as he got back up and left the throne room, leaving Lord Business alone with Celestia and Luna, still trapped in Kragle essence.

"*sighs* Honestly, It's like I can't rely on these dim-wits to do something as easy as pick-up my dry cleaning", said Lord Business.

"It would seem Princess Twilight and her friends were successful in protecting the Crystal Empire from your tyranny", said Luna.

"I believe now would be the best time for you to order your forces back, before you are met with dire consequences", said Celestia.

"Pfft! Yeah right! I might've lost the Crystal Empire for now, but very soon, that won't be a problem, and that goes double for those heroes of yours" said Lord Business just before he got a call from his cell-phone, "What is it?! This had better not cheese me off!"

"Boss, it's me! Man-Bat calling!", shouted Man-Bat through the cell-phone, "We got a problem, those annoying heroes got the jump on me and my bots, and took off with the orb! They're probably on their way to you right now!", followed by a brief moment of silence.

"I'm OFFICIALLY cheesed-off now!! Get back to Luthor in Ponyville and await further instructions from him, GOODBYE!", shouted Lord Business as he switches off his phone and puts it away while taking a moment to think about the situation.

"Your tyranny is nearing it's end at last", said Celestia.

"Indeed, you would be wise not to underestimate Princess Twilight and her friends, especially considering that they have the magic of friendship to aid them", said Luna.

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!! I'm busy thinking! Alright now let's see. They just got the orb, and that Man-Bat moron says they're on their way now, unless...they're already here!", shouted Lord Business just before he pulled out his walkie-talkie to make a quick call, "Any or all Robo-SWATs or Micro-Managers converge on the throne room at once!" And just like that, dozens of drones were making their way to the throne room, and unfortunately, that caught the two teams off guard and forced them to rush into the throne room along with those drones surrounding them.

"Okay, well this seems horrifying and awkward at the same time", said Emmet as he and the two teams were blocked off by drones just between them and Lord Business.

"Lord Business, in the name of Equestria, release Celestia and Luna, and put an end to your conquest at once!", demanded Twilight, Celestia and Luna were proud of their student for making a bold stand alongside her friends, while the tyrant was unmoved at all.

"Nice one, but I've got a better idea: you hand me that orb and give up now, and maybe I WON'T have my bots vaporize you where you stand", said Lord Business as six flying Micro-Managers entered the throne room through the large windows.

"Okay genius, you'd better tell me THIS was part of the plan", asked Batman.

"Actually, this wasn't what I had in mind at all", said Emmet.

"I'm starting to consider taking back every good thing I've ever said about you", said Batman with an angry tone as he readied one of his batarangs while the others were ready for a fight themselves, but unfortunately, they fear the worst about their situation: they can't use the orb on Lord Business without a clear shot, they've also been told by Discord that to something like that with the orb would take a minute for that thing to become "fully charged up", and that there's about nearly a hundred drones and Micro-Managers all over Canterlot including the castle, under the command of Lord Business and his half of a team of the most dangerous villains from the LEGO universe, all gunning for them, which about sums up their chances of escape, in order to keep the orb safe and find another chance at using it on the tyrant, in two words: their hosed. At least, that was before a series of strange happenings occurred: half of the Micro-Managers ended up dressed like clowns, causing the others to mistake them as the enemy, including the drones, resulting in a laser frenzy, as laser shots were flying all over the place, some actually hit a few drones, while they were too distracted to even pay attention to the two teams, even Lord Business was too panicked by the flying lasers to do anything as he dodged like crazy, but still tried to get the two teams with his own laser despite lacking time to aim.

"What the hay just happened there?", asked Applejack.

"Beats me, but it's gotta mean luck if we can get out of here!", shouted Wyldstyle, "Let's get out of here, meet up with the others and get back to the truck, we'll have to try again later with the orb!", and so, despite that leaving when they were so close to stopping the tyrant, the two teams were making a break for the doors, until Badcop came charging in with his blaster in hand.

"I've said it before, I'll definitely say it again: Freeze turkeys!", shouted Badcop.

"Out of our way, Losercop! We're outta here!", shouted Batman as he dodged a laser blast and tossed Badcop to the far end of the throne room, they were nearly out of the room until Twilight turned back for a quick moment to give a temporarily goodbye.

"We'll find a way to save you two, I promise!", shouted Twilight!

"Do not worry about our well-being!", shouted Luna.

"Indeed, see to it that you and your friends escape! Equestria is depending on you!", added Celestia, and with that, Twilight was filled with grief as she left to catch up with the others, forced to leave her mentors behind. Once the two teams made it outside the castle, things weren't looking good either, as it turned out, the rest of the group was spotted, and the result involved all-out havoc around the town, over half the town was wrecked as the rest of the group in their own two larger teams and the robot forces, along with the villains Lord Business brought with him, clobbered the living daylights out of each other.

"Guys get to the truck! We gotta go now!", yelled Emmet loud enough for the others to hear.

"What?! No way! We're not running away from these guys!", yelled Rainbow.

"Retreat, sometimes, is the most logical move, young one!", shouted Yoda from down a stree.

"What about Lord Business?! Did ya zap him with that orb already?!", yelled Rainbow.

"No go! It was too intense in there! We have to try again some other time!", shouted Indy.

"Then this entire crusade TRULY be a lost cause, mates!", shouted MetalBeard.

"No, but it will be if we're all destroyed! Now let's get moving!", shouted Twilight.

"You heard the kid, let's go!", yelled Superman.

"you guys heard the super, awesome, amazing hero! We're leaving!", yelled Green Lantern just before he spotted Sinestro flying in with a construct in the form of a lance, until GL intercepted with a construct shield then quickly formed a sledgehammer and knocked Sinestro into the side if the castle.

"If we weren't in serious peril right now, I'd totally threaten you with that restraining order!", added Superman as he in turn flew up to punch away at two Micro-Managers and used his heat-vision to blow up a third one that was coming right behind GL.

"Wow! Thanks Superman! You know you really are the best!", shouted Green Lantern, praising for his favorite hero.

"Yeah, don't push it pal!", shouted Superman back, still finding the Emerald Knight a complete annoyance, as those two and the others rejoined and made a strong run for the still cloaked truck parked just outside town, fighting their way out in the process. They finally reached the truck with some flying Micro-Managers still chasing them, so Wyldstyle gets to the top of the truck and quickly uses the pieces of the third thruster on the roof of the truck, along with some extra Lego pieces from the little carrier, to build a little turret and blasts at the flying pests, and one by one, they drop dead and blow up as they fell out of the sky and literally hit the road. After that little show, along with putting enough distance between them and Canterlot, the heroes decide to talk about their little incident back at the Crystal Empire.

Meanwhile, back at Canterlot, the villains, along with the forces of Lord Business were regrouping, the tyrant himself was too worked up to try to gloat about the heroes' failed attempt to stop him.

"RRRAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I nearly had that orb recovered! And now those heroes got away, AGAIN!!", yelled Lord Business, "Well no more of that! Badcop! Have Luthor and his team meet up with us in one of the lands of Equestria known as Manehattan".

"Of course sir, anything else?", asked Badcop.

"Ready our "special" ride, and be sure to tell the villains with us to come along as well!", shouted the tyrant.

"With pleasure, sir", said Badcop just before he pulled out his radio to make the call, "Villains! Prep our transportation hidden behind Canterlot, and one of you get on the horn to tell Luthor's team to meet us in Manehattan, ON THE DOUBLE!!"

"I almost forgot, we'll be taking these two pony sisters so they'll see for themselves as I take over their precious world! Now move it!", shouted Lord Business as Badcop ran ahead to make the final preparations and a few drones were able to lift Celestia and Luna and follow the tyrant as he led them out back, and with their very eyes, the Royal Pony Sisters saw an unspeakable sight indeed.

Meanwhile, the group finally made their way back to the Crystal Empire, feeling disappointed in themselves for messing things up back in Canterlot, and as they walked through town, they could see the residents doing fine cleaning up after last time, once they reached the palace, Shining Armor and Cadence rushed to them the minute they spotted them from the balcony.

"Twily! You guys okay?", asked SA.

"Not exactly", said Twilight.

"Not unless you count getting caught, almost getting blown up, and didn't even get to use that orb on Lord Business like the whole thing was a giant waste of time, if you ask me", said Batman.

"We already know, we started to get worried so we asked Discord to go over there and at least TRY to help in any way he could, he got back long before you guys and told us you were all in a tight mess", said Cadence.

"So that thing with that whole clown stuff in the throne room, that was him? Unbelievable", said a surprised and impressed Wyldstyle, followed by Discord as he appeared right behind them.

"Believe it! I couldn't DIRECTLY get involved in your situation back there, but since this was MY fault, I felt like I should still do something to get you out of there in one piece. After all, that IS what friends do", said Discord, followed by a big hug from Fluttershy.

"And we couldn't ask for a better one than you", said Fluttershy, as that heart felt comment made Discord nearly cry, emphasis on nearly. Just then, Nightwing, who stayed back at the truck to listen in on enemy communications, ran to the others with some bad news, again.

"So, we're basically in a tighter situation than we were this whole time", said Wyldstyle, "and Emmet what are you doing?", that's when everyone noticed Emmet playing around with the Piece of Resistance, same as before.

"I think I just about figured out how the teleport ability works", said Emmet, "The trick is not to let the ability be it's own boss, I just need to really force this power to do what I want".

"You sure about that, partner?", asked Applejack.

"Well, only one way to find out", said Emmey as he held the Piece of Resistance up high and swung it down hard as it unleashed a small mass of blue energy, the same one that brought the MasterBuilders to Equestria in the first place, and it was just floating there for a brief moment right before it grew into a portal, that will no doubt lead back to the LEGO universe, and everyone stood there in shock and awe.

"Whoa! Is that what I think it is?", asked Rainbow.

"Yep, it's the portal that'll take us back home", said Emmet, "I noticed that Lord Business didn't mess around with the Kragle while I did that with the Piece of Resistance, that meant the power could go wild, opening a portal when you don't want it. So I just had to get serious using it".

"So now what? You guys are just gonna ditch us?!", demanded Rainbow.

"No, but I do have another plan: you all get to Manehattan and keep Lord Business and his army busy, I need to make a trip back to Bricksburg", said Emmet.

"How come? You need your lunch or something?", asked Spike.

"Not really, let's just say I need to pick up a few things to help even the odds. Trust me, you guys are gonna love what I got", said Emmet with confidence, while everyone felt a little uneasy about the situation, they figured it'd be best to roll with it.

"Well, if you say you can help tip the scale in our favor, we'll trust you on this", said Twilight.

"Don't worry, you guys won't regret it!", shouted Emmet as he jumped through the portal, followed by it's vanishing.

"Something tells me we ALREADY regret this", said Batman as they said their goodbyes to Discord, Cadence, and Shining Armor, and headed back to the truck and made their way to Manehattan, for their last stand.

Meanwhile, Emmet was back in Bricksburg, still half a mess after what happened before he and the MasterBuilders went to Equestria, though it looks like the citizens are still putting effort into cleaning everything up. But there was no time to finish helping out right now, as Emmet built a race car and drove to his apartment complex crazy fast. Once arriving, he couldn't help but notice the cat lady using a fork-lift to help clear out some debris out of one of the other apartment buildings, only that the debris is a bunch if empty cat food cans, and that the lift was made up of some of her cats, funny as that was, Emmet had to get back on track as he ran to the back of his apartment building and there he found something very big underneath a very big non see-through lid. Once he activated the lift, revealing the hidden object, Emmet was certainly glad to see it again.

"Hey big guy, I've been dying to see you again. Get ready for some upgrades, because we got a lot of work ahead of us", said Emmet with a big smirk as he looked upon the towering object that he guarantees will help in saving both Equestria, and the LEGO world.

After the last time, the MasterBuilders and Mane 6 went through a few speed bumps, but were able to recover the orb that could drain the dark energy from Lord Business and Badcop, finally putting an end to the returned tyrant's end, only to blow it and had to bail out of Canterlot before using the orb. Fed up with stuff like this interference, Lord Business decided to move up his schedule(and no not for his afternoon jogging time or massage), and head off to Manehattan in his new Flying Fortress to start the final step in his plans. Soon after the group learns of this after returning to the Crystal Empire, Emmet finally figured out how to control the teleport ability within the Piece of Resistance, and uses it to make a quick trip back to the LEGO world to pick up a few things that could help give them a real fighting chance, while Twilight and the others head to Manhattan to confront Lord Business and his forces as the fate of Equestria and the LEGO universe depend on the end result of this epic last battle.
------

Manehattan, much like the real-life Manhattan of New York City, this is THE mega-busy city for Equestria, where the ponies there live in complete safety, and though it's not a kingdom like the Crystal Empire or Canterlot, this place is pretty much one of the biggest locations in all of Equestria, and one of the most populated. Unfortunately for Manehattan, that sense of safety is about to be abruptly interrupted, as the denizens gaze upon a flying shape of sorts, like a giant building block, but with some of the physical features of a regular spaceship, with a silver and red paint job, along with a little happy face painted in purple on the side of the vessel, no doubt the Joker's doing, and curiosity got the better of them as every one of them just stood there staring up at the vessel as it positioned itself right above Time Square, and that's when a very loud and menacing yet obnoxious voice came from the vessel, made so that the whole city and possibly every living thing for miles around can hear this chilling announcement.

"Hello there, citizens of Manehattan, this is the voice of your new master, Lord Business!!", yelled the tyrant through the vessel's giant megaphone, "Here's the deal: since this is one of the biggest and best places in all of Equestria, I've decided to position my flying fortress right here. I'll be dispatching my forces to capture some strays who try to get out of the city and have them work in my factories back in my world! The ones who'll no doubt be stupid enough to settle with running around in circles scared out of your minds will be frozen in place with the power of the Kragle! The most powerful weapon in all of existence! and slowly, I'll be sending out smaller but nonetheless destructive forces throughout the lands, conquering for me every last town, city, park, anything, that's MINE for the taking!! Thank you, have a nice day, and you can start panicking now".

And just like that, everypony was running around in complete terror as the tyrant's forces descended upon the city: there were the usual Robo-SWATs, led by Badcop, along with walking or flying Micro-Managers, but then there were some new arrivals coming in. With their help, Lord Business was able to merge his robot designs with that of what some of the villains had, such as a mix of Micro-Managers with Vulture-Droids or Roller-Droids by Darth Vader and Darth Maul, or some train-sized mix of Robo-SWATs and Lex Luthor's mech-suit and specialized robots he built before to take down Superman, and some that had silly-looking yet obviously deadly modifications that were courtesy of The Joker, from acid-pie launchers to giant BANG! blasters, and a mix of ideas from a few of the other villains. True to his word, the tyrant's forces were spreading out, capturing stray ponies that were trying to make a break for the city exits, drones and Micro-Managers armed with their own Kragle blasters and shooting at as many ponies as they could, even invading some buildings were some were trying to hide it out. And that's then fairly-sized scout ships were flying right out of the fortress and and spreading out across all of Equestria, invading places from Cloudsdale, to Trottingham, even in the wild west, doing the same that's happening to Manehattan, and at this rate, it won't be long before all of Equestria is under new management, and not in a good way.

That's when the truck carrying the MasterBuilders and Mane 6, including Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, finally reached the bridge that leads to Manehattan, and boy, they were completely stunned by what they were seeing.

"Oh man! That's a lot of bad guys", said Scootaloo.

"Yeah, congrats kid, you might've earned your cutie mark in pointing out the obvious", said Batman from the driver's seat.

"I've said it before, I'll most certainly say it again, you sir, have absolutely no manners at all!", shouted Rarity.

"Sorry kid, but your opinion means completely nothing to me", said Batman.

"I honestly don't know why I even bother", said Rarity with some anger in her voice.

"Can the squawkin' ya two! We got bigger problems right now!", yelled Applejack, making sure Rarity and Batman don't cost them any precious time.

"I agree, Emmet hasn't shown up yet, so we'll need to wait it out", said Twilight.

"Or that guy's probably ditched us so he can take a trip to the beach or something", said Rainbow.

"OOO! I LOVE the beach!", shouted Pinkie.

"YAY! Me too!", added Unikitty.

"No, Emmet WILL be here, we'll just have to do what he said, and keep them busy until he gets back", said Twilight, determined to believe that Emmet won't abandon them while Equestria is falling into the clutches of a tyrant.

"Aye! Come ye land-lubbers! Let's show them what we be made of!", shouted MetalBeard as the others shouted in agreement, followed by Batman hitting the gas pedal hard, and so the truck made it's crazy fast way to Manehattan, unfortunately, Lord Business figured they would show up, so he already took early action and sent a squadron of Vulture-Droid Micro-Managers to patrol the bridge, and that's when they took notice of the truck. The truck was getting pounded by lasers and missiles, so Wyldstyle got on top and went for the turret thing again and started shooting away, but being that these things have the combined speed of two fast bots, it wasn't very easy for Wyldstyle to take out even a single one, but she managed anyways, until the last one shot at the right thruster before it got wrecked, and with the left thruster still on without the other two to help, causing the truck to swerve out of control and crash into a news-stand, followed by an explosion, right before the group bailed out at the last second.

"Well, so much for our mode of transportation", said Rarity.

"'So Much'?! That baby was hooked up with some awesome sub-woofers I just got!", shouted Batman, irritated that he didn't get to show off his personal song which he considers real music.

"I'm sure they weren't worth the trouble anyway", said Rarity, considering our LIVES are far more important!"

"That's enough! Both of you! We have a job to do, we have to keep Lord Business's forces occupied long enough for Emmet to return with our back-up", said Vitruvius.

"Not to mention there's a bunch of ships coming from that giant hunk of junk above the city, and their flying off to the rest of Equestria! So it's time we stopped messing around and get in there!", shouted Rainbow.

"I just want to say, IF we don't make it through this, it was really fun being with you all", said Benny.

"Same here, partner", added Applejack, now let's get in there and show them varmints what's comin' their way!"

"YEAH!!", shouted everyone else in unison, and just like that, the group charged for Manehattan. Soon enough, chaos erupted as they all split up into various teams and fought their way around the city: Twilight, Wyldstyle, and Superman were helping to fend off a horde of "Vulture-Managers" targeting some ponies running into a coffee shop, until Superman zapped one with his heat vision, then knocked the other four at Wyldstyle as she pulled out a pair of swords and slashed at them and sent them to Twilight, who finished them off with one mighty magic blast.

"You know one of the things I like about teaming up with you two, I don't have to be anywhere near Lantern again", said Superman with relief, until he hears GL calling out to him three blocks over.

"Hey Superman! Just wanted to tell you I took on a platoon of drones with my eyes closed! You'd love it!", yelled Green Lantern.

"*sighs* I really hate that guy", said Superman, speaking of Green Lantern, that guy, along with Rarity, Unikitty, Indy and Yoda were head to head with, as said earlier, a platoon of drones, a few with squad cars, and Badcop was leading them, along with a couple of giant Robo-SWATs, turns out, GL said he did it on his own with his eyes closed to obviously impress Superman, but that wasn't how it happened entirely. A few drones were gunning for Rarity until she did a buck-kick and sent them flying to Indy, who wrapped his whip around them and spun them around a few times before tossing them into four more, Unikitty turns into Angrykitty as she swarms one of the giant drones and tears it apart while Yoda pulls out his light-saber, jumps right on top of it, and starts hacking that thing piece by piece until there was nothing left, same with Angrykitty as she went back to Unikitty after finishing up. The remaining drones were coming after them, along with Badcop in his squad-car, until GL formed a giant crossbow construct and fires at the other three squad-cars, sending them ablaze and destroying the other drones, Badcop was still coming and shooting at them, until GL steps in.

"I've been authorized to use absolute lethal force, so don't expect this to be easy for you punks!", shouted Badcop as he was coming in fast.

"Cool, we don't want this to be easy!", shouted Green Lantern as he formed a bed-sized chainsaw construct and split the squad-car clean in half with both halves headed straight for a wall, until Badcop was able to re-arrange the two halves into his flying squad car and makes a quick U-turn and starts blasting at them again.

"Don't worry for a minute, buddies!", shouted Badcop in his good-cop face, then going back to his bad-cop face and yells, "I'm not finished with you yet!"

"That's good! Neither are we!", shouted Green Lantern as he flew up straight to Badcop and quickly formed a base-ball bat construct and knocks Badcop and his flying squad-car across the city.

"THAT'S what I call a home-run!", shouted Indy.

"A home-run, indeed it was", said Yoda.

Meanwhile, Rainbow, Benny, and Nightwing, armed with his own jet-pack, were taking down Vulture-Managers and regular Micro-Managers left and right, Rainbow ramming two bots into a nearby skyscraper and a flying buck-kick sending another one across the city into a random bot resulting in an explosion, Benny once again flying one Micro-Manager into another with a big collision afterwards and blasting them as a finisher, and Nightwing using his jet-pack's on-board blasters to take out one Vulture-Manager after the other, then one comes charging at him, until he quickly ejects out of his jet-pack and lands on top of the bot and leaves a little bomb stuck and makes a really big boom after he jumps back to his jet-pack.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!", shouted Rainbow.

"That's the best way to make something go boom these days", said Nightwing.

Then, Pinkie, Wonder Woman, Applejack, and Vitruvius were cornered by a bunch of walking Micro-Managers and giant Robo-Swats, a few of the bots laughed just because they're fighting three girls and an old man, but it's the bots that should be worried right now.

"Ya seem pretty capable of yerself old timer", said Applejack.

"Old am I, now you see, I prefer the usual term: experienced!", shouted Vitruvius as he hopped into the air and used his staff's magic to blow away three of the giant Robo-SWATs, Pinkie then uses the trusty party cannon to blow away a couple of walking Micro-Managers and throws a few pies at another, causing it to go crazy as it blasted everywhere and ended up destroying two giant drones before crashing into a nearby building and falling on it's back. Then Wonder Woman and Applejack use their own lassos as one giant lasso and pull down one walking Micro-Manager down to the ground right before three other giant drones came running at them and end up literally falling head over heels for them, then Wonder Woman punches one giant drone all the way across the city into a building and then grabbing Applejack by the fore hooves, spinning her around and tossing her right at the last giant drone, delivering a painful slam backwards into the ground.

Now, Fluttershy and Spike were joined with the Crusaders, Batman and MetalBeard as Sheriff Not-A-Robot approached them with eight Deputron knock-offs and three Vulture-Managers backing him up.

"I got ya varmints now!", shouted the Sheriff.

"I beg to differ, ye scaly wags!", shouted MetalBeard.

"Um, excuse me? I don't suppose you would be kind enough to leave us alone? We'd appriciate it if you would do that", said Fluttershy.

"Not a chance Missy!", shouted the Sheriff as he pulled out his dual revolvers while the Deputron knock-offs followed his example and pulled out a large blaster each, prompting them to get behind MetalBeard for cover just as the bots lit up the place. That's when MetalBeard pulls out his anchor from his left leg and uses it to reach out and reel in one of the Vulture-Managers hard and punches it so hard it literally flew apart upon impact while MetalBeard quickly aims his blaster at the second Vulture-Manager and fires twin rockets so fast the bot never had time to react as it blew up. Still taking fire from the Sheriff and his knock-offs, Batman throws a well-angled batarang so it hits the Sheriff from behind, throwing him off guard long enough for Batman to jump him so he and the Sheriff can tussle nearby. Realizing that they still have to deal with the enemy, the knock-offs were just about to resume shooting until Fluttershy steps out and pulls off her stare, amazing that it can work on robots, and keeps them distracted long enough for MetalBeard to swat three of them away, for Spike to have the blaster for two of them facing backwards and pulling them away from Fluttershy's stare so they would snap out of it and blast at Spike while only shooting themselves, and for the Crusaders to use a nearby food cart to catapult things like carrot-dogs and apples at the last three knock-offs, leaving Batman to finish up his fight as he dished out a double-punch and sticks a little rocket on the Sheriff as it sent him flying in circles and right into a post-office.

"If there's one thing thing I hate more than cute stuff, it's punks with a badge, especially if they wear lame badges", said Batman as the others cheered over their victory.

Shortly, the group was able to reunite back in Times Square, but were cornered by hordes of bots, even Badcop, Sheriff Not-A-Robot returned, as well as Sinestro, Bane and The Joker joined in on this "turkey shoot", all seemed lost for the heroes, until this.

"You guys hear that?", asked Wyldstyle as everyone, even the bots looked around to find the source of that noise, until they look all the way down the street, and an enormous blue portal the size of a skyscraper, and since the enemy was just as confused as the heroes, it's unclear of who it was meant for, until a giant yellow Lego robot made up of construction vehicles came marching right out, and it was a sight to behold as the heroes recognized it as THE Construct-O-Mech built by Emmet, his first Lego-build as a MasterBuilder, riding in the center cockpit. But seeing as how they're dealing with a much bigger threat, Emmet came prepared as truly promised: he upgraded the Construct-O-Mech with more weaponry, ranging from a giant gattling-gun attached to the left arm, dual giant saw blades on both sides of the right arm, mini turrets around the torso, big thrusters on each side of the mech's feet, a giant turret on the right shoulder, a rocket launcher on the left shoulder, and a jet-pack as well. He even took the liberty of arranging some back-up for the others: as it turns out, Emmet swung by Ponyville and the Crystal Empire quick enough to pick up Wyldstyle's Super-Cycle, Benny's Spaceship, and Batman's Bat-Copter, and even used a whole lot of Lego parts to build a pair of truck-sized mech suits for Indy and Nightwing, a jet-pack for MetalBeard, and even a squad of big living mecha-critters such as wolves, eagles, scorpions, lizards, and lions for some of the Mane 6 and Crusaders to ride along in and wreck things.

"Hey everyone!", shouted Emmet from the mech as the other heroes cheered in response to his return while he automatically sends the special goodies over to them, while the enemy was still too stunned to even do anything for the moment, " I hope you guys like what I got!"

"Nice work, guy!", shouted Batman as he and the others geared up: Batman, Wyldstyle and Benny hopped inside their own vehicles, Indy and Nightwing stepped inside their mech suits, MetalBeard slapped on his jet-pack, and though Twilight and Rainbow won't need anything, Applejack and Rarity and ride the mecha-wolf, Fluttershy with the mecha-eagle, Spike with the mecha-lizard, the Crusaders with the mecha-scorpion, and surprisingly, Pinkie with the mecha-lion, "Let's tear these clowns apart!"

"FOR EQUESTRIA! FOR FREEDOM!", yelled all the heroes in unison as they all went all-out right before the enemy got their heads back into the game, and it was complete havoc. Throughout the city, they fought back hardcore, even when a few more villains joined in on the fight: MetalBeard flies around punching and blasting at anything coming his way that was maniacal-looking, Batman rode around in his Bat-Copter blasting at those bots himself with his dual laser launchers and using his crane to hook a few bots flying by and then flies fast enough with help from the chopper's thrusters and flies right at some others bots and making a hard right as the chopper swung the few bots attached to the crane right at the others, Rainbow was doing the same as she knocked away so many Micro-Managers and Vulture-Managers, with Benny backing her up flying around shouting "SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP!!!!", as usual, crazy fast and blasting away with his spaceship, while Fluttershy swoops by as her mecha-eagle constantly plucks those bots out if the air and hurls them into others along with dive-bombing at them as well, leaving Fluttershy completely terrified while in the cockpit. While on or near ground level, Indy and Nightwing were tearing apart dozens of walking Micro-Managers and giant Robo-SWATs with ease, Applejack and Rarity rode by in the mecha-wolf as it pounced and slashed at every bot in it's path, Applejack rode it like it was her usual rodeo as she swung her hat around while Rarity found it quite frightening, Spike, being a type of reptile himself, was in perfect harmony with his mecha-lizard as it ran throughout the city tearing apart plenty of bots with it's claws and jaws, the Crusaders were having the time of their life as their mecha-scorpion crushed and slashed so many drones and giant drones with it's pincers and pierced them and even tossed them across the streets with it's sharp tail, Pinkie was just laughing with complete joy while her mecha-lion ran around delivering one fatal blow after another with it's fearsome claws and strength along with a sonic roar, Yoda and Unikitty were paired up again as Yoda just slashed at and sliced up a bunch of drones with his light-saber and blowing them away or even throwing them at others with The Force as Unikitty turned into Angrykitty again and fiercely swarmed and destroyed every walking Micro-Manager near her, Supernan was zapping at incoming flying Micro-Managers with his heat vision, and then stopping to turn and punch a few that were trying to ambush him, While Green Lantern used four mini-gun constructs to take out any Vulture-Managers coming at Superman from above, no doubt to show how cool he is to the Man of Steel, Wonder Woman reels in a Vulture-Manager with her lasso and punches it into five more coming her way and kick flips another into a skyscraper, Vitruvius was cornered by Bane and a bunch of drones, until Bane comes at him and tires to land a few punches, only to have them avoided and blasted into a taxi by Vitruvius's staff while Vitruvius spins around and unleashes a wave of magic blowing away the bots around him, Wyldstyle is driving around in her Super-Cycle ramming at drones and walking Micro-Managers on the streets and quickly using the bike's thrusters which double as big laser-guns, and then of course there's Emmet in his upgraded Construct-O-Mech as he piloted that fearsome mech throughout the whole city whacking, slicing, punching, kicking, blasting, and swatting at dozens upon dozens of flying Micro-Managers and Vulture-Managers with Twilight flying by his side blasting at Vulture-Managers herself with her magic.

Looking at how the heroes were so easily overwhelming his forces, even some of his Syndicate of Doom, through the fortresse's monitors, Lord Business was absolutely enraged far more any other time before.

"THAT IS IT!!!!!! I'm sick and tired of this interference!", yelled Lord Business, "If you want something done RIGHT, you gotta do it yourself! Luthor! Prep my secret weapon, and then you and the rest of my Syndicate are coming down there with me!"

"I'll see to it that the specifications exceed standards, then I'll head to the hanger bay and ready my suit, forgive me if I'm too calm about all this", said Luthor as he left the room.

"Boss, you sure about this? We could get creamed out there!", shouted Man-Bat in complete fear.

"I don't care if we spend DAYS going at it! We're gonna bring those heroes down! And we WILL take over both these worlds! NOW MOVE OUT!!!!!!!", yelled the tyrant so loud it practically shook the room as Man-Bat and the other remaining villains were mobilized, while Lord Business enters a special room within the fortress while Luthor finished the final touches on the secret weapon.

"It's all set for you", said Luthor with an evil grin.

"I'll be looking forward to seeing the look on Brickowski and his friends when they get a load of this! Time to bring pain down on them!", shouted Lord Business, followed by an evil laugh between him and Luthor as the doors closed.

Emmet and the others were still continuing the fight in Manehattan, until everyone stopped to see some strange things coming from below the Flying Fortress and landing on a couple of rooftops, Luthor in his mech-suit, along with Man-Bat, General Zod, Darth Vader and Darth Maul, and Deputron were the first to come down, most in their own flying hovercrafts, then something very big came flying right out of the fortress, and despite the black paint-job, the heroes were stunned to see it as Emmet's Construct-O-Mech, with Lord Business in control, out of his tyrant outfit so he could fit inside the cockpit, and equipped with upgrades nearly opposite to what Emmet had: one big blaster on the left arm, dual hammers on the right arm, a jet-pack of it's own along with thrusters on each side of the feet, and dual rocket launchers on both shoulders, and like the original, it was all-powerful.

"That's my kind of Lego build!", shouted Batman through the Bat-Copter's speaker, followed by the others looking at him in annoyance, "Hey, don't be surprised if I like something that's in black".

"Hello there, heroes! I hope you like what I got here! I call it the Deconstruct-O-Tron!", shouted Lord Business as he landed his doppleganger creation on the street.

"Whoa! How come you have your own Construct-O-Mech?!", yelled Emmet.

"I know! Amazing what you can do with a mental picture of your mech, putting it into instruction form, and having Luthor and my construction bots work fast and hard to make it my own!", shouted the tyrant, " but enough of that! You and your loser friends have stood in MY way LONG ENOUGH!! This rebellion ends NOW!!!"

"We'll see about that, Lord Business! Hey Twilight! I think it's time for some more teamwork!", shouted Emmet.

"You got it Emmet! Let's do this!", shouted Twilight back.

"Enough talk! Bring it on!!", yelled Lord Business as he, in his mech, charged Emmet in his own mech and tried to land a left punch, only for Emmet's mech to step-side in time to throw a left punch of his own at Lord Business's mech, sending him flying across the street.

"And as usual, the hero dishes out the first blow, but obviously, evil returns with a mighty back-hand!", shouted the tyrant as his mech pulled a right backhand strike with the dual hammers on Emmet's mech as he tried to charge him. Emmet's mech was down for a moment, while Lord Business's mech was preparing the left arm's blaster, until Twilight flies in and magic blasts at the evil mech from above, and blasts at Lord Business's mech long enough for Emmet's mech to get back up. And so the battle between Emmet's Construct-O-Mech with Twilight by his side against Lord Business's Deconstruct-O-Tron continued as the two behemoth mechs went head to head, while the other heroes and the entire Syndicate of Doom, along with the evil robot forces, went on with their fight. The two powerful mechs landed blow after blow on one another, from Lord Business's mech throwing a right punch and throwing Emmet's mech across the city, to Twilight distracting Lord Business's mech with a single mighty magic blast that caused it to shortly lose balance while Emmet's mech runs at the tyrant's mech and pulls off a spin attack as the torso spins crazy fast with the arms stretched out, constantly pounding away while firing with the left gattling gun at the same time and them stopping to grab the tyrant's mech and slices off one of the rocket launchers on the shoulders with the right arm's dual saw-blades.

The battle grew more intense as the two mechs punched and blasted each other, until Twilight produced a flash of light as bright as the sun, blinding Lord Business while Emmet pummeled away with his mech, Lord Business desperately fought back, dishing out a few blows here and there, but Emmet did a much better job landing more successful blows, and finally landing one massive blow with a left punch, knocking the evil mech down to the ground, followed by a high five between Emmet and Twilight. The mech mostly looked unharmed, but there was the one of the two rocket launchers sliced off, the legs looked worn out, the wrecking-balls on both shoulders were mangled up, the left arm was bent backwards and missing the blaster, and some of the torso was blown off, so all that confirmed that Lord Business's mech was history. Speaking of Lord Business, the tyrant furiously kicked at the lid for the cockpit, and once successful, he jumped out and finds Twilight on the ground with Emmet by her side while the Construct-O-Mech was right behind them, right before he activated a secret compartment on the top of his mech, producing his tyrant outfit, as he slipped right in and stepped down from the wrecked mech.

"I'm not done with you yet! I still have what I need to deal you!", shouted Lord Business.

"Well then, I'd say it's high time we settle this thing for good", said Emmet as he and Twilight went for the tyrant, but had to dodge some laser fire from his helmet's center laser and even the flame throwers on top of the helmet, Emmet picks up some Lego parts from fallen Vulture-Managers to build a giant boomerang and throws it at Lord Business, who ducks just in time and turns around quick enough to blast it apart with his laser before it ever came back, followed by Twilight pulling off a quick buck-kick at his stilt-legs, making him lose his balance shortly but regains it just before Twilight blasted at him and dodged it, and tries to blast back with Twilight dodging as well.

"I think it's time we finished this for good!", shouted Emmet as he pulled out the orb.

"I don't think so!", shouted Lord Business as he blasted at Emmet, who jumped to the right and tossed the orb over to Twilight, who flew from behind the tyrant and used her magic to catch the orb

"Lord Business, your TYRANNY ends now!", shouted Twilight as she used the orb, which "warmed up" when Emmet had it, and at a steady pace, began draining out all the dark energy from the tyrant, and once finished, the former tyrant fell backwards, that's when Badcop took notice and headed straight for them in his flying squad car.

"I'm on my way sir!", shouted Badcop as he landed the car and came out running with his blaster in hand, followed by Twilight passing the orb back to Emmet, who in turn used the orb on Badcop and drained the dark energy from him as well, while Badcop shortly falls to the ground nearly reaching Emmet. After that, Emmet and Twilight turned to the former tyrant, who seemed pretty confused about what's going on.

"What's going on? And why am I wearing this ridiculous outfit? This is weird", said President Business as he ditched his tyrant outfit while Badcop got back up switched to his good-cop face.

"This doesn't look quite right to me", said Goodcop as he puts away his blaster, meaning that the orb worked, so now Emmet had the honor of smashing the orb hard on the ground, and he and Twilight watched as the dark magic faded away into nothing.

"President Business, there isn't much time to explain, we need you to stop these forces", said Twilight.

"Well yeah, I suppose, if you can get me up there I can look for the kill switch", said President Business just before Twilight flew him up to the Flying Fortress with Emmet right behind them with a jet-pack he quickly built with the Lego pieces from the giant boomerang he built earlier. Once inside the command center, Emmet, Twilight and President Business searched frantically for the kill switch, until they spotted a basketball sized red button with "Kill Switch" labeled over it, so President Business just walks up and presses the button.

"What idiot built a button this obvious anyway?", asked President Business as Twilight and Emmet exchanged awkward looks.

"Uh, no offense, but you did that", said Emmet.

"Oh that's right", said President Business followed by a very loud but brief alarm, "Oh, I forgot that like last time, the fortress blew up before all the bots shut down".

"And on that completely terrifying note: RUN!!!", yelled Emmet as those three made a break for the exit and flew out just before the whole thing blew up. Shortly after, all the remaining bots in Manehattan were suddenly going offline, followed by a chain reaction as the bots that were spreading all over Equestria went offline as well. And by then, the other eight villains were defeated and captured, and finally Emmet, Twilight, and President Business made it back to the ground and were welcomed by a victory cheer, even Goodcop was able to join in, compliments and congrats went all around.

"I really hate heroes", said Luthor with distaste on behalf of his fellow villains.

"That was totally AWESOME!!!", yelled Rainbow, "Hey Emmet, I know I felt like you'd just ditch us, but I'm glad I was wrong, you came back and helped us kick butt in a big way!"

"Thanks guys, I'm just glad things worked out smoothly", said Emmet, until the heroes stopped celebrating for a moment to notice the big mess all over Manehattan.

"OH COME ON!!!!!!", yelled Batman, shortly after, they all got started on cleaning up, but this time, it went a whole lot faster: President Business reactivated and repurposed twice as many bots to help out, the living mecha-critters Emmet built helped lend a paw, wing, claw and pincer, and everyone, even most of the citizens helped out, and in no time, Manehattan was looking spotless. President Business helped get the antidote to the the Kragle, which was left in the fortress when it blew up, gone for good this time, and use it on the ponies who got frozen, even a repurposed Micro-Manager was sent to Canterlot, which appeared that the citizens cleaned things up, and administer the antidote to Princesses Celestia and Luna, who knew for sure that Twilight and her friends pulled it off. Finally after that, the Mane 6 and Cutie Mark Crusaders kept their promise and showed the MasterBuilders the joys if Manhattn, followed by the Crystal Empire, Canterlot, and finally: Ponyville. They had an amazing time seeing the sights, trying the food, meeting their other friends and so much more, then they were just about done as a blue portal, courtesy of the Piece of Resistance, with the MasterBuilders gathered around with the Mane 6 and the Crusaders, along with Celestia, Luna and Discord, as they say their goodbyes.

"Emmet, I would like to thank you very much for your valiant efforts in helping to save our world alongside Twilight and her friends", said Celestia.

"Indeed, from what you told us, you have shown great bravery in these times of danger", added Luna.

"Not to mention you all are a real joy to have around", added Discord.

"It was our pleasure, guys, really. And thanks for showing us around, we love this place, and the same goes for you guys", said Emmet as everyone said their goodbyes and went through the portal one at a time, leaving Emmet and Vitruvius to be the last two to leave.

"Emmet, I just wanted to say, it's been great having you around", said Twilight, "And Vitruvius, I'm sure you must be very proud of having Emmet as a friend".

"To be honest with you: I liked Emmet, before he was cool", said Vitruvius with a sense of delight in his voice, and Twilight responds with a surprised smile followed by a hug for Emmet and Vitruvius.

"Thanks for everything, Twilight. And stay awesome", said Emmet with a grin as he and Vitruvius enter the portal.

"SPACESHIP!", shouted Benny as he popped out of the portal quickly and then heading back in again just before it closed, followed by a big moment of joyous laughter among the ponies.

A day later, in the heart of Bricksburg, Emmet and the MasterBuilders gather to present something very special to the people: A big bronze statue featuring the Mane 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and were really proud of it. While in Ponyville, at the same time, the Mane 6 and Crusaders were proud to present to the citizens of Ponyville, a statue featuring the MasterBuilders themselves, and everyone took a moment to honor the other-worldly heroes who helped save Equestria, until Pinkie, as usual, broke the silence.

"I never did get that construction guy's name", said Pinkie.

"EMMET!!", shouted everyone in unison.

"Oh yeah, *laughs*", said Pinkie with joy.
