Shane POV

Okay, I admit this is stupid when we first jump into the gateway, there's one thing I hate the most; expecting the unexpected. 

 When we exit the rift, only to find ourselves falling from the sky. We may not know where we are, but from what we can tell, the world was, in a word, strange. From the appearance of the clouds to the design of the buildings, everything seemed... cartoonish.

"Where are we?" asked Wyldstyle.

"I'm not sure," said Gandalf.

"That's weird....why does everything look familiar?" Rea wondered.

We all screamed as we continued falling, while Batman kept his mouth shut. Rea groaned, finally remember, "Oh now, I remember where we are.."

As they fell, giant words appeared in the sky. If the trio were looking up, they would see that the words read, "The Simpsons".

The Simpson household, the Simpsons all gather on the couch to watch television, as they do in the opening of their show. However, something crashed into the ceiling. Homer screamed as he and his family ran away from couch, just in time for all of us to land safely on the couch. However, our sudden crash-landing not only created holes in the roof of the house and the ceiling of the first floor, but the damage has spread throughout the entire inside of the house.

Rea winced, "ooh...I hope they don't mind the damage."

Gandalf finds some sort of rectangular-shaped contraption with push buttons on it. He pushes a button and turns on some kind of box that shows moving images. Wyldstyle and Gandalf wanted to watch, but Batman and us clearly weren't interested.

"Enough television," he said. "Let's figure out why we're here."

Gandalf reluctantly turns off the television. He found a donut under the cushion and took a bite out of it.

"Gross," said Wyldstyle.

"Dude, you had to eat that?" I said.

"It's delicious," said Gandalf, finishing the donut.

"Never mind," said Wyldstyle.

The living room, along with the entire house, was a mess. Wyldstyle's Relic Scanner picked up something from underneath the couch.

"Found something," she said.

She removes the middle cushion, revealing a secret grate, and activates her scanner's color waves. They revealed a hook. Batman uses his Grapple Gun and grabs onto the hook. He started pulling until he removes the grate. A bunch of LEGO pieces started springing themselves out of the couch.

"Okay.....Now what?" Rea shrugged.

Batman looks at the two speakers each placed beside one end of the small bookcase. He saw a vinyl disc player on the floor.

"Gandalf," he called.

Batman points at the disc player, and then points at the top of the bookcase. Gandalf uses his magic and levitates the disc player on top of the bookcase. The vinyl disc player started playing music. The two speakers started playing the music at max volume. A few seconds later, they explode into little pieces due to too much sound intensity.

"What do you plan to build with all these, Batman?" asked Gandalf.

"A ramp for the car," answered Batman. "Aim it at the window."

"No problem," said Gandalf.

Gandalf levitates all the LEGO pieces in the air and creates a ramp.

"Hey, now you're learning," complimented Wyldstyle.

Batman summons his Batmobile. He gets in his car and jumps off the ramp, smashing through the window, getting out of the house. Wyldstyle flip jumps out of the shattered window, while Gandalf simply jumped. As for the both of us, we kinda jumped which I fell flatly on the ground while Rea landed on her feet.

 Just as Batman sent the Batmobile back to Vorton, another rift opens. It drops some sort of device on the sandbox.

Batman takes a look. "Interesting. The markings on this device appear to be the same as on the Keystone. Perhaps they're linked." He turned to us. "Did you do this?"

We exchanged glance since we don't know this part of the game as we shake our heads. Batman read our expression carefully before he turned back to the device. " Perhaps....Someone's trying to help us."

"So, we have an unknown enemy and an unknown ally," said Wyldstyle.

"Well, whoever is assisting us, we shouldn't waste the opportunity," said Gandalf.

I whispered, "you don't think its Doris, do you?"

Rea replied, "I don't think so. If she did, she would have told us."

I sighed, "I wish Adam was here....we could really use his game expertise."

"What do you think this device does?" wondered Wyldstyle.

Wyldstyle's question is answered when the device opens up and reveals the Shift Keystone.

Rea noted, "I guess that answers the question."

"Weird," said Wyldstyle.

"Indeed," agreed Gandalf.

Batman walks closer to the device. He touches the Keystone, but nothing happened. He tried to find a control panel on the device, but there was none. All he could do was kick the device. Suddenly, the Keystone opens three rifts in three separate locations.

I said surprised, "Woah."

 A blue rift opens above the treehouse. A yellow one and a pink one both open on the roof, but in separate locations. The yellow one leads to a box standing on the roof. The pink one will only cause whoever comes out of it to slide down the roof.

"I'm guessing the Shift Keystone can send us to each one of those rifts," guessed Batman. As he looked up at the roof, he found something. "There's another Keystone."

Rea said, "Well, that's new." noticing the Keystone on the roof.

"But none of the rifts can take us to it," noticed Gandalf.

"Maybe we're supposed to build something," guessed Wyldstyle.

"If that's the case, let's get to it," said Batman. "Choose a rift. Find some pieces."

Gandalf chooses the blue rift. Wyldstyle chooses the yellow rift. That leaves Batman to take the pink rift. While Rea and I remain with the device since Batman order us to.

Gandalf comes out of the blue rift and lands on top of the treehouse. Suddenly, the treehouse started to fall over. I noticed it as I shouted, "Gandalf, Look out!!!"

Gandalf realizes that he's weighing it down the moment he heard me. He manages to jump off the roof and land safely just as the treehouse crashes and breaks, releasing the pieces inside it while I grabbed Rea away from it.

Rea sighed in relief before she said, "Sheesh, a little warning would be nice."

Then, we noticed the pieces that was in front of us were starting to disappeared, leaving what was left of it. I said, "Huh, at least we needed some of them."

Wyldstyle comes out of the yellow rift and saw a box full of pieces. She pushes it off the roof. The box crashes into the doghouse below. Luckily, Rea managed to save the dog by whistling in time. The doghouse, however, is destroyed, but the pieces it left could prove useful. Wyldstyle jumps off the roof, flips in the air, and makes a safe landing.

We applaud by her performance which Wyldstyle took a bow.

Batman comes out of the pink rift and slides down the roof. He falls off the edge, but manages to grab hold of the gutter. He begins weighing down the gutter, causing it to fall. Batman lands safely as the gutter breaks into pieces.

We watched what Batman was doing which he uses all the pieces to create a trampoline. He jumps on the trampoline and grabs hold of a blue and white pipe on the wall. The pipe leads to the side of the house, so Batman follows it. He found some more blue and white pipes on the house's chimney. He climbs up until he reaches the top of the chimney.

Rea snickered, "Hehe...If it was Christmas, I'm sure the kids would be so spooked if they see Santa 'Bat'."

Wyldestyle and I snickered with laughter while Gandalf has no idea what she was saying.

Batman was about to grab the Keystone. Suddenly, a rift opens. Coming out of it is a black cube-shaped robot with red eyes and two mechanicals. I recognize what it is; It was a Micro-Manager from the 'Lego movie' as it grabbed the Keystone.

"Batman!" Wyldstyle cried out.

Batman looks down and saw another Micro-Manager grabbing Wyldstyle and Gandalf. The Simpsons' pet dog grabbed onto Gandalf's staff using its teeth. Another Micro-Manager shows up and grabs Batman. I was about to shoot them when we didn't notice another one behind us which grabbed both of us.

Rea said, feeling squished, "Okay....Didn't see that one coming."

We screamed as the Micro-Managers were taking us and the Keystone high in the sky.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the other Micro-Managers were causing chaos in Springfield. They target the citizens, set buildings on fire, like Krusty Burger, Town Hall, and Springfield Elementary, and blow up police cars.

-----------------------------------------------

Rea POV

We're still in the sky, being hostages by the Micro Managers as they were flying towards a rift in the sky. 

"What the heck is going on?" Baman wondered out loud 

"I don't know," said Wyldstyle. "But I know these things. They're Micro-Managers. And trust me, they're evil."

"Who programs them?" 

"President Business," answered Wyldstyle.

"President business? What kind of lame name is that?" Shane comment since he didn't watch the Lego Movie.

 "Where I come from, he's, well, the President. He used to be a bad guy, using the Micro Managers to help him destroy worlds. But he's good now, so he can't be behind this."

"It must be our unknown enemy," guessed Gandalf.

Batman manages to break one of his arms free of the Micro-Manager's grip. He takes out a Batarang and throws it. He hits another Micro-Manager, causing it to release all of us The Batarang comes back and hits the Micro-Manager holding Batman, causing it to let the Dark Knight go. 

We're free but only problem is that... now we're free-falling from the sky once again.

"Not again," Shane muttered.

We kept on falling until a giant cube-shaped station floating in the sky which broke our fall. At first we're safe but these Robots dressed in police uniforms appear and started blasting lasers. One managed to hit Gandalf in his behind.

"My goodness," cried Gandalf, rubbing his aching rear.

Batman destroys all the robots with one Batarang while Shane blast them with his wrist cannon. 

Wyldstyle asks Gandalf, "Are you okay?"

"I'll live," answered Gandalf.

Wyldstyle's Relic Scanner found something. She activates the scanner's color waves and reveals three control pads. Batman destroys all three of them. This caused a hatch to open up, revealing a terminal.

"That definitely looks like the ones from back home," said Wyldstyle.

"Woah, That's a lot of science in here." Rea comment.

Batman walks towards the terminal and pushes a button. He turned on the communications unit.

A voice was heard through the terminal's speakers. "The Foundation Element has been located. It's in the nuclear power station, in the hands of an employee..."

The computer system's voice says, "Self-Destruct initializing in T-minus 3, 2, 1..."

"Self... what?" asked a confused Gandalf.

Gandalf gets his answer when the computer says, "Detonation."

The station explodes, putting us back in free fall mode. Shane stated, "Well, that was undertaking."

"That sounded like only part of the plan," said Batman. "We need to hack more terminals to find out more."

Luckily for Batman, another giant cube-shaped station happens to hover at the right spot for them to land on it. We saw what looks like an unfinished car treadmill. We  turned our heads and saw three generators. We each destroy one so they can use the spare parts for building. Even though I didn't have a weapon but that doesn't mean I can help.

"Allow me," said Wyldstyle.

Wyldstyle uses the pieces to finish the car treadmill. Batman summons his vehicle and started running it on the treadmill. He opens the hatch, revealing a satellite. The dish, however, breaks down for unknown reasons, leaving only a green fuel cell that powers nothing.

A Micro-Manager shows up and started firing lasers at us. As we dodged the lasers, We noticed an orange hook below the Micro-Manager's red eyes. Shane pointed out which Batman fires his Grapple Gun and started pulling. The Micro-Manager showed resistance, but Batman was too strong. He pulls down the Micro-Manager until it self-destructs. The explosion destroyed the fuel cell and its pieces are scattered all over the aerial station.

Batman uses these pieces to build a terminal that matches the one from the previous station. He pushes the button for the communications unit.

The mysterious voice that was heard through the previous terminal spoke again. "Do everything it takes to get a hold of this employee. One Homer J... Sampson? ...Sempson? ... Sim... Oh, whatever. Just get him."

"Huh? Is he talking about Homer Simpson?" I turned to Shane which he replied with a shrug.

The voice of the computer system interrupted again. "Second system compromised. Self-Destruct initializing in T-minus 3, 2, 1... Detonation."

The station self-destructs. Once again, We are back to free fall mode.

Shane frowned, "This is getting ridiculous here."

"Yeah....I'm surprised how high up we are," said Wyldstyle. "Isn't there usually lack of oxygen at this height?"

"I'm guessing this dimension defies the laws of science," said Batman.

"Heh...Welcome to my world." I noted with her arms crossed as we kept falling.

Another giant station was closing in. We made our landing as 5 Micro-Managers engaged us. Lasers come in left and right. Batman and Wyldstyle have no problem dodging the blasts, given that they're agile, but Gandalf, due to his age, struggles to move around. He had to settle for a magic shield to protect himself. Shane protected me by using his wrist blaster which shot two of them since it's a good thing he's a good shooter.

I felt useless without my weapon, I mean what good am I without it? Ms. Doris should have install me one but it didn't. "These abominable contraptions certainly mean business," said Gandalf.

"Well, the guy who created them is named 'Business'," replied Wyldstyle.

"I've had enough of this," growled Batman.

Batman throws an explosive Batarang at each Micro-Manager. All three explode. We are awed by his attack. "Woah..."

"At least that is over," said Gandalf, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Gandalf," called Batman. He pointed at the hatch.

Gandalf nods, understanding. He waves his staff and casts a spell, opening the hatch and revealing another terminal.

Before we can use it, a Micro-Manager fires mini-missiles at us. We managed to evade every single one, but the missiles destroyed the terminal. The Micro-Manager was about to engage trio, but it was knocked out of the sky by Shane's blast.

"Your welcome." Shane said smugly, placing his hand on his waist.

"Another computer must be inside... if we can get in," said Wyldstyle.

I looked around saw another hatch, I pointed out to them but it was protected by reinforced glass.

Wyldstyle's Relic Scanner started beeping. She activates the color waves and reveals two switches, one in each corner close to the hatch. They had orange hooks in the middle, which meant Batman had to use his Grapple Gun. He pulls both switches off their hinges, opening the side of the station.

Batman and Wyldstyle jump down, while Gandalf, Shane and I use the emergency ladder. We observed the rest of the station. The terminal was beneath us, but it was encased in an energy shield. The other side of station's side door had two balconies. We can walk towards the nearest balcony, but the second one was too far away to jump to.

"We're gonna need the Shift Keystone," said Batman.

Shane looked around and saw a generator as he destroys it with his wrist blaster. Batman looks at Gandalf and gestures to the LEGO pieces on the ground. Gandalf uses his magic to assemble a Keystone selector. The Shift Keystone pops up. Batman kicks the selector, activating the Keystone. It opened three rifts. 

"Oooh Cool colorful rifts." I said impressed which I received a elbow-hit by Shane who snickered.

The yellow one leads back to the top of the station. The blue one led to the other balcony. The purple one led to downstairs, where the terminal is.

"The shield has three generators," said Batman. "We just need to pull the plugs. Gandalf, I believe you can take of that."

"C'mon Wizard-guy....Work your magic." Shane cheered.

Gandalf nodded as he walks to the first balcony and uses his magic to unplug the first generator. Using the Keystone, he transports himself to the blue rift, landing on the other balcony. He unplugs the second generator above his head. He uses the ladder to climb down towards another generator. He unplugs it.

The shield deactivates, leaving the terminal free for hacking.

Batman uses the purple rift to transport himself to the terminal. Wyldstyle and I followed him.

Batman looks up at one of the balconies on the open wall of the station. "Gandalf, Shane..... head to top. Keep an eye out for any company."

Gandalf and Shane nodded in response as they transports themselves to the yellow rift, which drops both off at the top of the station.

Batman heads to the terminal turns on the audio of the communication link.

The mysterious voice, who sounds like the boss of the operations, was heard again. "Once we have the artifact, we move back. Utilize the asset and his secret weapon if there's any resistance."

"Sounds like trouble," said Wyldstyle.

The computer system spoke again. "Proximity Alert. Emergency landing incoming. Raise in altitude suggested."

"Seriously?!....That sounds worse," I added with disappointment.

Batman turns on the GPS of the terminal. "This says we're heading towards Springfield Nuclear Power Plant."

Suddenly, the station started to shake, causing Wyldstyle, Shane, and Gandalf to lose their balance. I realize we were beginning to fall from the sky.

"And that....Was our brakes." Batman added.

"Great....What do we do now?" I asked, lying on the ground.

"Prepare for impact," replied Batman.

"Say what now?" I blinked.

-----------------------------------------------------

The station keeps on falling until crashed into the power plant. The impact caused shaking within the building.

In the control room, Homer Simpson was asleep on his chair. He felt the shaking, but he thought it was something that occurred in his dream.

"It's not selling out. It's co-branding. Co-branding!" he babbled in his sleep.

Meanwhile, at the crash site, Batman and Wyldstyle made it out of the crash unscathed. Gandalf was alright as well, with the exception of an aching back. Shane and Rea coughed a bit which was a good thing that they survived. They all saw the state of the power plant. Most of the damage inside wasn't caused by the crash. The Micro-Manager were ripping the place apart, looking for something.

-----------------------------------------------------

Shane POv

Okay, That was quite a fall though I'm so glad we survived from the crash. Probably the cybersuit protecting us. Gandalf asked, picking himself up, "What do you suppose these infernal contraptions want here?"

I groaned, "Whatever it was....It better not involve skydiving. I hate falling from the sky."

"Wyldstyle, your scanner," said Batman, turning to his female comrade.

Wyldstyle looks at the screen. "There's something at the other end of the plant. Maybe the Keystone?"

"Let's check it out," said Batman.

Gandalf walks to the edge of the crashed station and looks down, staring at the pool of green waters.

Rea's eye widened as she quickly pulls Gandalf away from the edge.

"Woah Woah Careful......You don't wanna go there, Gandalf," she said. "That's acid. And FYI, green liquid that will melt your skin if you touch it."

Gandalf nods, understanding.

We proceed until we stopped when we saw the now-awake Homer Simpson inside the control room, via transparent glass.

"With all these Micro-Managers, I'm surprised this guy stayed behind," said Wyldstyle.

"Ignore him. We have bigger problems," said Batman.

"Shouldn't we help him escape?" asked Gandalf.

"The glass is strong enough to survive an acid spill," said Batman. "He'll be fine."

The trio kept on walking while we both followed behind. 'I don't think Batman should be careful what he said. The only one he should be careful is the guy who can't do safety.' I said mentally. We saw a metal bridge they can use to walk over the vat of acid below it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Inside the control room, Homer was reading the instruction manual to figure out how to manage the power plant's safety. Unbeknownst to him, he left the PA system on, so the trio can listen to everything he's saying.

"What do I do? What do I do?" he whined.

He stands up and pushes a few buttons randomly before returning to the manual.

"Alright, brain, it's all up to you," he addressed his own brain.

He sits back down and reads the manual. "Check core temperature..."

He started pushing buttons randomly again, fiddling with the switches, and fooling around with the phone.

"I just press this button."

An alarm sounded when he pushed said button.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Homer's meddling caused the core to overheat. When the temperature reached the red zone, the cooling pipes burst. Unfortunately for the trio, the cooling system's pipes stretch towards the bridge. With the cooling system malfunctioning, the pipes built on the bridge collapse, destroying the bridge. The pipes and the bridge fall into the acid pool.

"D'oh!" cursed Homer, beating himself up.

"I get the feeling this guy isn't quite up to speed on nuclear safety," commented Wyldstyle.

I noted, "What do you expect? He's Homer Simpson....The walking disaster."

Wyldstyle and Gandalf stared at me strangely as Rea said, "Trust me. He's not the brightest guy you ever know."

"How are we supposed to get across?" asked Gandalf.

Batman saw two more rooms that can be seen from the outside via transparent glass. One room had a contraption that holds a tank of cooling liquid. The other room is where the cooling pipes burst, but there was also something else in that room. There was a switch.

Wyldstyle saw what Batman was looking at. "You said it yourself. We can't break glass that can survive acid. How are we going to get in there?"

Rea and I looked around then down at the vat of acid. We saw something floating. It was a Keystone selector. We turned around and saw three pieces of metal equipment just lying around.

"Batman," I called.

Batman looks down until he nodded to us as he called Wyldstyle before pointing down at the vat of acid. Wyldstyle saw the selector and nods at Batman, knowing what he wants. Wyldstyle uses her Master Builder skills and uses the nearby metal to create a gadget that will retrieve the selector. All that was required is to pull the pin. Batman uses his Grapple Gun to do so. The gadget reaches into the vat of acid and takes out the selector.

The Keystone pops out of the selector. I kicked the selector, opening three rifts. The yellow one leads to the room with the cooling pipes. The pink one leads to the room with the contraption. The blue one is simply a way to get out of the mentioned rooms.

"Well, that's one way to get in." Rea comment.

Batman uses the pink rift. He turns the valve on the contraption until it dumps the cooling liquid into the core. The core temperature cooled down.

Wyldstyle uses the yellow rift to get to the other room. She checks the gauge. The core temperature was absolutely low. She then proceeds to the switch. She pulls it.

The two pipes that were filling up the vat of acid were deactivated. The vat emptied halfway, leaving the metal grates that were once pieces of the destroyed bridge floating.

"Alright!!!" Rea cheered.

Batman and Wyldstyle use the blue rift to reunite with Gandalf. We used the metal grates to get past the vat of acid.

We looked up and saw the owner of the power plant, Mr. Burns, standing by the board that says "0 Days Without An Accident". He removes the 0 and pushes a button, switching the boards. This board says, "323 Days Without Otherworldly Invasion." He places the "0" over the first "3" and removes the "2" and the second "3". He shakes his head in disappointment as he heads for the exit.

"I don't know about you, but underneath that disappointed look is a 'corrupt businessman' kind of face," said Wyldstyle.

"You can't judge someone without getting to know them first," said Gandalf.

"Actually, we already know what he really was, believe me." Rea stated.

"Enough!" interrupted Batman. "We have to keep moving."

After getting past a spiked conveyor belt, they saw three closed vents that act like a flight of stairs. However, the second one was too tall compared to the first one to jump over. The third one was also way taller than the second vent.

"We need to turn them on," said Batman.

Wyldstyle saw two walls with colorful arrows pointing up. "I'm on it."

"You go girl!" Rea said to her.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Homer was still reading the manual as he attempted to get things under control.

"Vent radioactive gas? N-O," he read, thinking he understands what it means. "Homer, you genius! Heh heh heh!"

---------------------------------------------------

"Why is this guy in charge of safety? He couldn't cross the road," further complained Wyldstyle.

"Like we said....not the brightest." Rea reminded.

She climbs up the arrows and found three switches. She flips all three of them, turning on all three vents. The vents started releasing high pressure gas that was strong enough to lift the lids.

We started jumping and waited until the vent's gas lift the lids a bit higher so we can jump to the next vent.

-------------------------------------------------------

Back in the control room...

"This is my chance to show everyone how professional I am," said Homer.

Homer puts down the manual and started pounding on the control. When nothing happened, he slammed his head into the controls. Believing everything will be alright, he sits down and goes back to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------

Unbeknownst to Homer, he destroys an electric generator, causing the system to malfunction. Barrels of toxic waste were released onto the conveyor belt uncontrollably. The hammers uncontrollably flatten the barrels.

"I am gonna have to file a complaint to the manager..." said Wyldstyle, further complaining about Homer's stupidity putting them in danger. "... if his face didn't give me the heebie-jeebies."

I comment, "He was born with stupidity and idiocy."

"We have to shut down that contraption unless we want to get squashed," said Batman. "We need the Shift Keystone agaih."

Wyldstyle's Relic Scanner started beeping. "I think I found some pieces we can use to build the machine that powers the Keystone."

"Where are they?" asked Batman.

"Right beneath our feet," answered Wyldstyle.

We walk  down some stairs and found a very dark room.

Rea tried to switch the lights on but didn't work. Gandalf lights up his staff and takes a look inside. He found the pieces. He uses his magic to build a Keystone selector. Batman kicks the selector as soon as the Shift Keystone popped up, opening three more rifts. The yellow one leads to a balcony with two yellow contains. The pink one is attached to a white pad that looks like it can moved along the blue tube. The blue one leads to the power sources of the conveyor belt hammers.

Batman uses the blue rift. He destroys the two power sources with one Batarang, stopping the hammers and stopping barrels of toxic waste from popping up. He also opened the doors that would allow anyone inside the nearby room to walk onto the conveyor belt.

Rea takes the yellow rift since she insisted Wyldstyle to let her help. She pushes the two yellow contains off the balcony, shattering them to pieces. Wyldstyle uses them to build a lever for the white pad.

Gandalf uses his magic to move the lever, guiding the white pad to a higher location. We all use the pink rift and walk on the conveyor belt to advance. Wyldstyle takes the lead since her Relic Scanner is the one that's leading us to what could probably be another Keystone. We found a door that leads to the toxic room. However, there was a security camera emitting a green light. There was also a switch near the door.

"Let me guess? We get caught by the camera, we get shocked," Rea guessed

"Don't worry. The Batmobile wasn't the only thing I was working on back at Vorton," said Batman.

Batman activates the new feature on his wrist device. To the surprise of Wyldstyle and Gandalf, Batman vanished.

"He disappeared," said the surprised Gandalf. "Flying, vanishing, and invisibility. Batman is surely one remarkable individual."

"He sure is." I added.

"Yeah, keep thinking that," Wyldstyle said sarcastically, not even bothering to explain Batman's abilities to Gandalf. 

The invisible Dark Knight made it past the green light and flipped the switch, turning off the camera. Batman deactivates his Stealth Mode and walks into the toxic room, with all of us following him.

Rea POV

Inside the toxic room, Lord Business was having trouble getting in through the hole in the wall that his Micro-Managers cut through. His head, body, and mechanical boots can fit through. Unforunately, two other Micro-Mangers were entering the hole at the same time as Lord Business, causing all three of them to clog it. Lord Busniess was left in a sideway position.

"...so, what I'm saying is, 'Why didn't you just cut a bigger hole?'" he complained.

A Micro-Manager was pulling Lord Business' headdress until it finally pulls its creator and its other two fellow Micro-Manages into the room, at the same time we arrived.

"Lord Business," said Wyldstyle, anger present in her face.

"Wyldstyle? It was 'you' meddling," realize Lord Business, stepping into the acid pool. Fortunately, it was only his boots that were dipped into the acid, not his actual legs. "Hey, I'd love to catch up, but I have to grab something and then destroy you and your friends, mmkay? Mmkay."

Lord Business walks out of the pool, but his tall boots left him in a sideways position. His boots were doing the split so he couldn't pick himself up.

He gives an order to his Micro-Managers. "Get the element!"

One Micro-Manager helps Lord Business stand up while another re-enters the cut hole. A scream was heard on the other side. We recognized the voice belonging to the guy in charge of nuclear safety. Clearly, the Micro-Manager was attacking him.

"Ow! Hoo-hoo! Ow, my thingies!" he screamed.

The Micro-Manager returns to the toxic room with a terrified Homer, holding a chicken leg, in its claws. Homer take a bite out of the chicken leg, but before he can enjoy the taste, his attention was captured by the sight of Lord Business and his army of Micro-Managers and robotic cops. Annoyed of the whining man, the Micro-Manager grabs his chicken leg and tosses it into the acid pool. All that was left was the bone.

"I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman," prayed Homer, pleading for his life as he looked at the remains of his chicken leg. When he looked at Lord Business and his army again, he says, in a terrified tone, "Oh my gosh. Space aliens. Don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!"

Shane said jokingly, "Now where have I heard that verse before?"

I snickered at that thought.

As Homer screamed and continued pleading for his life, he was dragged away through the hole in the wall. He was taken to the toxic room's control room and is thrown towards the glass by the Micro-Manager.

"Right. That's the grabbing done," said Lord Business. "Now, what was the other thing?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" screamed Homer as a Micro-Manager with legs grabbed him.

Lord Business looks back at us. "Well, it was nice of you guys to drop in, but I don't have time to play. I'm a little busy."

Lord Business jumps into the acid pool, his exaggeratedly long boots keeping him away from the toxic liquid. He had a laser blaster in hand, courtesy of Lord Vortech.

Batman saw three toxic waste pumps nearby, but they were covered in gold. "These could be useful. If only we can get to them."

"Only laser can cut through gold LEGO bricks," said Wyldstyle.

Lord Business fires his laser blaster continuously. "Hit the deck!!!" I shouted as we tried to avoid the laser beam.

"On the bright side, he has a laser pistol on him," Shane noted.

Batman hides behind one of the toxic waste pumps. Business tried to destroy the waste pump to get to his target. All he accomplished was destroying the gold LEGO bricks covering the waste pump. Suddenly, his gun stopped firing.

"Look, this is a new gun, okay? It needs little time to recharge," said Lord Business.

I gawked, "That gun has batteries?"

"So what, anyway my goons will distract you, okay?"

While Lord Business recharges his laser gun, four of his robotic cops engage the trio. Batman kicks one robot into the another, taking them both out. Wyldstyle, Shane and Gandalf took out their respective opposition easily. While I just used a rusty pipe to hit the robot since I'm the only one with no weapon.

Business finished recharging his gun and fires again, aiming at Wyldstyle. The tomboy hides behind a toxic waste pump, tricking Business into destroying the gold LEGO covering it. Once again, the gun stopped working, which meant it needed to be recharged again.

Four more robot cops show up and started firing their laser pistols. However, they were easily dismantled by us.

Business fires his gun again. The trio hid behind the last toxic waste pump covered in gold LEGO. After Business' laser beam destroyed the gold, his gun runs out of power again.

While Business is occupied with his gun, Wyldstyle uses her Master Builder skills and builds an acid cannon out of the toxic waste pumps. She flips the switch and the cannon started firing acid at Business, knocking him down.

The evil businessman gets back up and destroys the acid cannon with his laser gun. The destruction of the cannon also caused the railings to shatter. Three metal pieces are now floating on the acid pool, which we use to stay away from the toxic waste.

"Argh!" grunted Lord Business, angry. "Why are you so difficult? Just stay still and let me get you already."

"Hah....As if we listen to you." I retorted. While Business recharges his gun again, rifts come out of nowhere and release more robotic cops. "Ugh....You gotta be kidding me?!" I groaned, seeing more bots.

"How many more of these things?!" Shane complained as we fought as fiercely as we could while trying to avoid getting knocked into the acid pool.

Why are you doing this, Business?" asked Wyldstyle. "I thought you turned over a new leaf. No more tyranny."

"Let's just say I saw an opportunity for power and I couldn't pass it up," said Business quickly.

"So much for turning over a new leaf." I noted then I saw two toxic waste pumps and a piece of the acid cannon. 'I wonder if this is a game.....should I also can do the same as Wyldstyle?'

I thought about trying out myself as I rebuild the acid cannon. I was amazed that I was able to do it as I flip the switch and fire acid at Business again. The businessman falls down, only to get back up a few seconds later. He once again destroys the acid cannon with his laser gun which I manage to get away.

"Aw....And here I thought I was getting a hang of it." I said.

Some of the remains of the acid cannon looked familiar to the trio. Batman jumps towards the other floor piece and uses the pieces to build a Keystone selector. Wyldstyle kicks it immediately after the Shift Keystone pops up, opening three rifts. The blue one leads to a switch on the left side of the room. The pink one led to a switch on the right side. The yellow one leads to a platform on the ceiling that is directly above Lord Business.

"Really?" questioned Business. "It's like you're just asking me to just attack you in lots of different and interesting ways."

Gandalf uses the blue rift. He flips the switch, causing a pipe to fire acid at Business' suit, knocking him down.

Business gets back up, but he was angry and complains. "Do you mind? This is a new suit!"

Gandalf reunites with his friends, while Business uses his laser gun to destroy the switch, preventing it from being used again.

Wyldstyle uses the pink rift. She flips the switch, causing another pipe to fire acid at Business. This time, it hits him in the face, knocking him down again. Wyldstyle jumps off the platform as Business gets back up. He destroys the second switch with his gun.

"We all know toxic waste gives you awesome super powers, so you just keep on trying that. Thanks," taunted Business.

Batman uses the yellow rift and transports himself to the platform built close to the ceiling. Next to him was a pipe. It was directly above Lord Business, but it couldn't spill acid because it was broken. The broken piece needed to be reconnected to the other piece. Batman uses his Grapple Gun to reconnect the broken piece to complete the pipe. The pipe drops a huge amount of acid on Lord Business, knocking him down.

Batman jumps off the platform. While falling, he takes out his Batarang and throws it at Business. Business gets back on his feet, only to get hit square in the chest with the Batarang, getting knocked towards a wall filled with pipes.

"Alright!!!" We both cheered as we gave high-five to each other.

Uknownst to us, we didn't notice he took out his walkie-talkie. "Tell 'him', 'It's show time!'" He was referring to the mysterious "asset".

NO POV

Meanwhile, Homer was running away from the Micro-Managers. He climbs on the pipes in the ceiling, hides in a tank full of toxic waste, and even put on some glasses and hid amongst the trio, whistling so he can pull off the "innocent bystander" look. The team rolled their eyes.

Eventually, the Micro-Managers saw through Homer's disguise. He continued running until one grabbed his leg. He tries grabbing a pipe on the wall to avoid being taken again. He grabs onto the pipe as hard as he can as the Micro-Manager pulled. In the end, the Micro-Manager ended up pulling off Homer's pants. The green rod in the pocket was slingshot across the room. It bounced off the pipes, the fans, and the Micro-Mangers. It was heading straight for Gandalf. The elderly wizard whacks it away from him with his staff, unaware that he did it baseball style.

The green rod hits Business in the face, but it fell into his hand.

"Look at that. Right into my hand," said Business with a sinister smile on his face.

Homer looks at the Micro-Manager holding his pants and said angrily, "Hey, get your own pants!"

Realizing he's not wearing pants, Homer looks down. He was only wearing his underwear. He screams in embarrassment. He covers his private area as he sneaks away before anyone else can see him.

"Hey, it's been great seeing you again, Wyldstyle, but I have somewhere less exploding to be," said Business.

Business walks away, but not before giving an order to his Micro-Manager.

"You know what to do," he said to the Micro-Manager, winking.

The Micro-Manager grabs the floor piece that the team were standing on and drags it to the ceiling, crashing through it.

Shane POV

I groaned after that the robot left since having fulfilled its order. We all got back on our feet  and saw that we've have been taken to the Mr Burn's office. Ooh I hope he doesn't mind damaging this place.

Batman and Wyldstyle glare angrily at the fleeing Micro-Manager. Gandalf, meanwhile, notices that his hat has been flattened due to the ceiling collision. He uses his staff to return it to its pointy self and puts it back on.

"Glad that's over," said Gandalf.

"Not quite," said Batman. "Business mentioned something about an asset. Someone is with him."

"Whoever it was, let's hope he's less of a pain than Lord Business," Rea complained.

I rolled my eyes and noticed a strange machine as I called them, "Hey, guys...Check it out."

We immediately saw what appears to be a generator. There were three colored pads connected to the generator. Powering the generator is what appears to be the Keystone. It had red, blue, and yellow circles drawn on it. Between the circles are lines connecting all three of them together.

Rea exclaimed, noticing the keystone, "Look, another keystone." 

I inspected them with thought, 'huh, I wonder what's it for?'

We were about to grab the Keystone, until we heard a voice trying to sound like an announcer of a talent show.

"Roll up! Roll up and witness the hysterically hilarious, the riotously ridiculous, the marvelously mirthful..."

Someone jumps on the manager's desk. It was none other than the Joker.

"... me!" he finishes. Seeing his black-clad nemesis, he says, "Well, if it isn't my old pal, Batsy."

"Joker," growled Batman.

"Ding-ding-ding!" replied Joker, sounding like a bell. "One point to the 'Dork' Knight. Hahaha!" He laughs at his own joke. 

Rea facepalm, "Oh Great, Just what we need...a crazy clown."

Joker ignored her as he added, "But, can you tell me what this is?" He gestures to the Keystone powering the generator, which his clown-faced goons are pounding on with giant mallets.

Joker looks into an alarm clock, which was counting down. When the time runs out, the clock rings. Joker shakes his head left and right rapidly, pretending that he's the one ringing.

"Too late! My experts say it's a power unit," said Joker. "So, lets see if it's got enough juice to wake up an old friend of yours, Bat-Brain."

Energy from the colored pads are transferred to the generator, which are transferred to tubes leading to outside.

"Joker, what are you doing?" demanded Batman.

Joker blows a kiss to the "crowd' and back-flips out the window. He reveals what the Keystone was powering. It was his giant Joker-Bot.

"Great," muttered Batman angrily. "Get down!"

The Joker-bot's hand punches through the window and grabs the generator, taking the Keystone with it. It then rips off the roof of the office.

"Ready for Round Two?" started Joker.

"You got to be kidding?!" I groaned.

No POV

Joker, with a gun in hand, jumps into the Joker-Bot's head, controlling it from the inside. It picks up a long metal beam and tried to smash Batman with it. He dodges it as the beam made impact. The Joker-Bot sweeps the beam across the floor. 

Shane exclaimed, "Jump!" as they jump over it. Good thing Shane and Rea's cybersuit give them an enhanced ability. 

Joker-Bot sweeps it across the floor again but they jumped over the beam again. "The clown said 'old friend'. You've dealt with this before, Batman?" Wyldstyle asked.

"Yes," Batman answered.

"Well, how do we defeat it?" Gandalf asked.

"'I' will handle it," said Batman, putting emphasis on "I". "You two stay back. I don't want the Joker taking any more lives."

Batman runs towards the Joker-Bot and jumps towards its head. However, Joker whacks Batman away with the metal beam. The Dark Knight falls down to the ground. 

"BATMAN!" Shane exclaimed

As Wyldstyle and Gandalf help him up.

The Joker laughs, proud of himself for hitting Batman. "I did it! I did it! I actually hit the big bad Batman! Hahaha!"

"You can't take that thing on your own," Wyldstyle said

"She's right, Batman. You need our help," said Gandalf.

"I beat it before. I can do it again," said Batman stubbornly.

Rea stood in front of Batman before he could proceed. "Batman, did you even beat this thing the first time on your own?" 

Batman hesitated to answer. After a few more seconds of silence, he spoke. "No. I had help."

"Robin?" Wyldstyle guessed.

"Him and a few more... friends," said Batman.

"So, let us help, Batman," Rea pleaded . "Even with all your gadgets and fighting moves, you always need help."

Shane added, "You may not know about us but we know about you and you need help. You said so yourself before you were the other person, 'Everyone needs a little help.' "

The moment he heard those words, Batman flashbacks to the night Bruce Wayne earned his Man of the Year award. He gave a speech and said, "Everyone needs a little help."

"Alright," said Batman. "Let's do this. As a team."

 They turn their attention back to the Joker-Bot. The cannon on its right arm fired at the air four times. Four sets of giant chattering teeth land on the ground. Inside each set are two of Joker's clown-faced minions.

Joker comes out of the Joker-Bot's head and stands on the yellow pad on the robot's left shoulder. For some reason, standing on the pad turned him yellow. "Oh, look. Everyone has come out to see me. Little old me."

"Take your two. Take them down," ordered Batman.

"You got it, Batman," Shane replied.

Batman takes out his two enemies by simply smashing their heads together. Wyldstyle dodges one minion's punch, and then grabs his arm. She spins around and tosses him towards the other minion, taking both of them out at the same time. Gandalf takes out the two by whacking them with his staff. Lastly, Shane takes out one of them by electrocuting while Rea didn't have weapons but rely on her martial art and knock the second one out.

Joker started firing his gun at the trio. Batman and Wyldstyle dodge every bullet by diving and rolling. Gandalf manages to dodge a few bullets, but gets hit by three. The wizard falls, weakened.

"Gandalf!"  Wyldstyle cried.

Rea and Shane thought, 'Oh No!' as Joker fires three more bullets at the fallen wizard. It was about hit him when something slice all 3 bullets, causing it to explode and it was fortunate that Gandalf put up a shield to protect himself.

"Don't worry. I'm fine," assured Gandalf.

Shane praised Batman, "Well done, Batman. You saved him."

"That wasn't me." He replied stoic, much to their confusion.

Then, something spin and flew over them, all they see what seems to look like two energy ring as it was caught in someone's hand. 

"You guys need help?"

They saw a boy in a blue uniform and white armor with light blue accents, standing on top of the pillar. The boy smirked at them which Rea and Shane recognize him. 

They said unison, "ADAM!!!!"

Wyldstyle asked, "Friend of yours?"

"Totally." Shane said.

Adam smiled before turning to Joker as he easily destroys all three sets of chattering teeth with his energy rings. Some of the pieces left behind looked familiar.

Wyldstyle looks at Batman. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Great minds think alike," replied Batman.

The two kept on dodging bullets as they gather up the pieces off the floor. Together, they built a Keystone selector. After the Shift Keystone pops out, Rea kicks the selector, opening three rifts. The blue rift leads to the Joker-Bot's right forearm. The pink one leads to the Joker-Bot's hunch on its back. The yellow one leads to the Joker-Bot's left shoulder pad, where the Joker is standing, still firing his gun.

Batman uses the yellow rift. Joker turns around and waits for Batman to come out of the rift, ready to fire. Batman comes out and the Joker fires. Batman dodges the bullet and punches the Joker in the face. His punches were slow to start, but as he kept going on, his punches started coming in rapidly.

"Wow! That's, like, three to four punches per second," Adam said, wowed.

Batman continues rapidly punching Joker in the face until he delivers an uppercut, knocking down the clown. After a few seconds, the clown gets up and places a wind-up Joker Bomb on the shoulder pad.

"Hey! Now that's not very nice," said Joker as he jumps back to the robot's head.

The bomb turns out to be another one of Joker's jokes, as the bomb only releases a flag that says "Bang!" Batman destroys the fake bomb and uses the pieces to create actual dynamite. He jumps off the shoulder just as the dynamite goes off, damaging the Joker-Bot's shoulder and causing it to spin out of control.

"That's it! He's weakening!" said Wyldstyle with a smile on her face.

"Oh yeah!! Let's keep at it!!" Rea said excitedly

The Joker-Bot started firing green lasers out of its eyes and destroys the selector. He then aimed the laser at the them

"Don't forget to go out with a smile," said Joker.

They kept on dodging the continuous laser beam until the Joker-Bot stopped. It fires three more sets of chattering teeth in the air. The three sets land on the ground and release the Joker's minions.

"Nice of you to come out and play," said Joker.

Joker comes out of the head and stands on the blue pad on the robot's forearm, firing his gun. Once again, the color of his entire body changes in accordance to the color of the pad he stands on. In this case, the Joker turns completely blue.

Batman destroys the ttwo sets of teeth while Adam destroys another one and uses the remains to build another Keystone selector. The others dodge bullets until Shane manages to get close to the selector, kicking it, opening the three rifts.

"Okay, your up." He said

"What exactly is the plan?" asked Gandalf.

"We use the rifts to get close to him, and then we hit him until he drops," said Batman. "The robot can't function without someone controlling it."

"Good plan." Rea stated.

Batman uses the blue rift. Joker started firing as soon as Batman came out of the rift, but the Dark Knight dodges every single bullet. He punches Joker in the stomach twice before clocking him in the nose. Joker takes out another wind-up Joker Bomb.

"Will you just 'play nice'?!" yelled the Joker, angry at Batman for being a killjoy. He jumps back into the robot's head.

After the "Bang" flag comes out, Batman destroys the bomb and builds another pair of sticks of dynamite. He jumps off the forearm and lets the dynamite detonate. The explosion damages the Joker-Bot's chattering teeth cannon and weakens it further.

The Joker-Bot started firing its green lasers from its eyes again, destroying the selector again. The trio just stayed out of the line of fire.

"It's not a show without the Joker! That's me, by the way," continued Joker.

The Joker-Bot stops firing its lasers and started pumping its own head. The flower on its chest started firing purple acid. They stayed away from it.

"This... Joker... is one ruthless maniac," said Gandalf.

"That's one way of describing him," Adam said.

"How does 'deranged psychopath' sound?" Wyldstyle asked.

"Accurate," replied Batman.

The Joker fires three more sets of chattering teeth into the air. Before they can hit the ground, however, Adam throws his rings. He destroyed the three sets and the minions inside. Shane was relieved that they're just characters in the game and not the real life one. The remaining pieces fall to the ground, which Wyldstyle used to rebuild the selector.

"Oh, come on!" complained Joker.

Joker comes out of the head and stands on the red pad on the hunch of the robot's back, turning himself completely red. He started firing his gun again.

"This metal giant appear to have a strange contraption attached to it," said Gandalf, noticing the generator on top of the robot.

"Go for it." Rea said kicking the selector, opening the three rifts. He uses the pink one to get close to the Joker. He dodges all the incoming bullets and uses a series of attack combos on the Joker, striking him from head to belly. Joker retreats to the head, but not before leaving another wind-up Joker Bomb.

"Is it too much to ask for one smile?!" yelled the Joker.

"Hey, Nobody cares, Joker-boy!!" Shane insulted.

After the eventual "Bang" flag coming out of it, Batman breaks the bomb into pieces and uses them to build more dynamite. He jumps off the back and lets the dynamite go off. The Joker-Bot's back is damaged. In its weakened state, the Joker-Bot's mid-section falls apart, exposing the wires inside.

"Wyldstyle, scan for a weak point," ordered Batman.

"On it," said Wyldstyle, taking out her Relic Scanner.

Wyldstyle activates the scanner's color waves and reveals an orange hook within the wires. Batman takes out his Grapple Gun and latches onto the hook. Instead of pulling, Batman pushes the new button he installed on the Grapple Gun. The Grapple Gun unleashes electricity, which shorts out the Joker-Bot.

"Alright, We did it!!" Rea cheered.

The Joker-Bot started to fall over forward. "Uh....not good. RUN!!!!" Shane yelled. They run away before they got crushed by the robot's giant head.

The Joker comes out of the head. He takes out the Keystone and looks at it. "Ooh, this looks valuable..."

Batman was about to engage the Joker again. However, Joker pointed his gun at the Caped Crusader, keeping him from getting closer. Batman growls softly.

Joker takes out his walkie-talkie and says, "Hi, I'm going to need a taxi from the roof of Springfield Nuclear Power Plant..."

Joker's response came in the form of a rift.

"Oh, never mind. One's here," he said, walking towards the rift. "Be seeing you around, Bat..."

Before the Joker can finish his insult, he gets hit on the head with a stick, causing him to drop the Keystone. The Joker falls down in pain and gets sucked into the rift, screaming. The stick that hit the Joker belonged to Rea. While the Joker was busy talking into his walkie-talkie, Rea snuck around him and climbed onto the Joker-Bot's head in order to unleash and surprise attack.

Rea jump off the Joker-Bot's head and picks up the Keystone. "I'll take that, thank you very much." before throwing away the stick.

"Well done." Gandalf said before they looks the rift, and then back at his friends. "Shall we?"

Shane,Batman and Wyldstyle follow Gandalf and into the rift back to Vorton.
