Micro-Manger's Revenge - A LEGO Movie Fanfic

Chapter 9: Confrontation with the Dark Knight

Blaze just stood rigid, as if he had no way of controlling his movement. Emmet was sitting on the ground, with Lucy hugging him. Batman, Benny and Unikitty were just standing still, as if what they were seeing wasn’t true.

Maria and Anna were just walking around as they waited for someone to make a proper decision other than to just standing around.

“He must be stopped,” Blaze stated all of a sudden, “Before he does any more damage.”

“How…how will…you do that?” Emmet asked, “Isn’t he a super powerful psychopathic killer?”

“I shall do what I should have done when I first had the chance,” Blaze said, creating a glowing orb of energy in the palm of his hand, “I shall tear him apart. But not limb by limb, or cell by cell; but rather atom by atom.”

Anna walked up to Blaze and took his face in her hands, and turned it so that Blaze was facing her. Her eyes were fall of sadness and hopelessness, but there was another emotion there, one that only she knew about.

“Blaze, if you do that, then you will only become the man that you are trying to so desperately destroy,” she stated, “And you realise that if that happens, then I’ll have no choice, but to forget you.”

Blaze pulled his head away gently, before turning into an orb and floating off into the distance. Batman motioned for Benny and Lucy to follow him, and he walked for a short period of distance, where he stopped and waited for his two fellow Master Builders.

“Does anybody get the strange feeling that this lot shouldn’t be trusted?” Batman asked quietly.

“Bats, you’re just being paranoid,” Benny stated, his usually cheerful face turned serious for the moment, “And besides, you heard Blaze, he’s out to get the same guy as we are.”

“Yeah, so what,” Batman retorted, “Did any of you here the story he just told us?”

“Of course we heard it,” Benny replied, “And it just gives us more proof that Blaze is on our side…”

“Not necessarily, because…” Batman started before folding his arms across his chest, “Because something doesn’t add up, and I’ve got this feeling that we aren’t getting the whole story.”

“And we may never get the whole story,” Benny said, exasperated, “But we know enough to realise that Blaze and his companions aren’t going to turn against us.”

“And until we get the whole story,” Batman replied grumpily, “I’m not gonna do anything that they say, even if it means that I put us all at risk.”

“And if you do that,” a distorted voice said as a light green ghost appeared in front of Batman, “Then I’ll have no choice but to take control of your mind, and possibly also suggest that you are…removed.”

“How the hell…?” Batman swore, “How did you do that?”

“He come along with me,” said Emmet, as he leaned against Maria, “And Batman, you need to get your head out of your arse; otherwise you’ll get us in trouble.”

Everyone remained silent. No one had seen this kind of Emmet before, Lucy wondered if it had something to do with seeing his home in…ruins. It didn’t matter, because Batman had advanced on Emmet, and had grabbed a fist full of the construction worker’s clothes.

“What did you say kid?” Batman asked, raising a fist threateningly, “Cause if it was what I thought you said, then I’ll…”

“You’ll do what?” the Special asked, “Hit me then sulk about getting told off? Batman, you need to grow up!”

Batman punched Emmet once in the face, before throwing the Special into a nearby tree. Emmet hit the ground with a grunt, before getting up, and taking a defensive stance. Batman charged at the construction worker, and was about to kick him, when Emmet grabbed his foot, and swung the Dark Knight into the same tree that he was thrown into a moment ago.

“The odds of you surviving another round against Emmet,” Delpha stated, “Is close to zero, especially now that I am helping him against you.”

Batman grunted, before charging at Emmet again, but this time he was stopped by a furious Benny. Emmet on the other hand just stood still, as if he was in a trance of some kind, before he shook his head and thanked Delpha.

“It was nothing,” Delpha stated cheerfully, “I am always willing to help those who defend Blaze.”

As if Blaze had heard this, he appeared out of nowhere, standing dumbfounded several feet away. He approached Emmet, and looked into his eyes.

“Because of my actions, your home was destroyed,” Blaze stated, “And I’m sorry about that. But yet you will still defend me. Why?”

“Because it wasn’t you that destroyed my home,” Emmet said, “But rather an enemy of yours that is only wanting to destroy you. That was his way of getting as many people from this world to hate you, but I don’t think it will work.”

Blaze nodded before turning to Batman, saying, “And you distrust me. I know that I have not been truthful, but there is still much that I cannot tell you, because that information puts you at great risk.”

“And that is why I don’t trust you,” Batman stated matter-of-factly, “and it doesn’t help that you are able to just say something, and everyone is following you like a flock of sheep!”

“But I never asked for them to follow me,” Blaze stated, “I told you all what was at risk, and you decided that you wanted to help me defend your worlds against an insane evil that wants to turn your worlds into night that will last for an eternity.”

Everyone was silent again, but this time, Batman seemed to soften up slightly, as he said: “I’m sorry for ever doubting you, Blaze Darkrunner.”

“Don’t worry about it now,” Blaze said, “Right now, we need to find out how Cre^dus was able to destroy Bricksburg before we could get here.”

“Are you sure that is a good idea,” Lucy asked, “I mean, don’t you think it’ll be a bit much for Emmet to see what has happened to his home up close?”

“You will all see what Cre^dus is capable of soon or later,” Blaze stated, “And I’d rather it be sooner for all of you, but if Emmet wishes not to see what has happened to this city, then Maria and Delpha can look after him, whilst the rest of us figure out what has happened.”

With that, he started the long walk towards the ruins of Bricksburg. Anna and Maria followed quickly, and then Emmet, helped by Lucy and Benny went after them. The Dark Knight frowned slightly, as he realised that Blaze had been correct, all he wanted was to see the kid happy again.

‘And that won’t happen until Cre^dus is brought to justice,” Batman thought as he followed Blaze.
