Chapter 8: "I'll Tell You Why I Became a Superhero"

(Note to Reader: Title has been changed to correspond with the revised version. It's formerly "You Don't Need That Green Crystal Thing!")

***

The whole truth behind everything sometimes can be found already hidden inside yourself, even if you didn't realize it.

"Uhmmm..."

Emmet moaned faintly as he starts opening his eyes and wake himself up, only to see that he wasn't inside Lightning Mountain and into a different location.

A blank, empty black sky was seen above him, and right on where he was laid upon, a strange glow of bright blue light illuminated around the whole floor.

That's what he caught on when he stood back up, knowing that he wasn't inside Lightning Mountain and instead on someplace else.

"Hello...?" he called out, thinking if there might be anyone around. "Anyone here...?"

In response, glowing crystal bricks suddenly appear from the floor and float upwards, along with some numbers attached to them and even picture-like screens that featured all of what he does before, starting from where he became a Master Builder all the way to his encounters with villains, which reflected themselves back to him.

"O-M-G-O-S-H...!" he whispered to himself, now realizing that the pictures were all of his memories. "I'm inside my own brain...!"

Smiling at the sights, he starts walking around his memory lane, looking at the pictures, listening to some of his conversations with his friends, and even formed some visualizations, including vehicles, people and his potted plant pet.

As he kept on walking, he noticed that the memories he saw suddenly changes to a different concept; they now show pictures of raptors, spaceships, strange-looking gadgets and a few others. Visualizations form raptors in skates, barbells, cola cans and even himself wearing a different vest.

He soon realizes, upon seeing the differences around, something was wrong with his memories.

"What's going on...?" Emmet heard his thoughts say. "How come there's memories that I don't have?"

"Something's not right," he said to himself as he stood there and visualized the triple-decker couch he made once. "Was there someone else here...?"

He then heard something that wasn't from his own head.

"Emmet..."

"Who's there?" he thought (which was said aloud and audible to hear).

Suddenly, as if by magic, the pictures and visualizations he didn't have moved to the left side and, as they break off and merge, starts to form a logo near him.

As the image continues to form, he watched as even his memories whisked towards the forming image, merging itselves into bricks and sticking onto the logo.

Once every memory had finished merging into one, he gasped as the image formed a giant, cool and iconic letter R.

"Is that...?" he thought again.

Then, as if it starts to transform, the R logo starts changing shapes. From just one, it split itself into two, then splits again and again, until it stops and the separated blobs started to form into pieces of a minifigure; head, arms, hands, body, feet and hair.

Emmet then saw the body parts assembling themselves into one complete minifigure, and became shocked to see...

...that the minifigure changes into his former villain and alternate futuristic version of himself!
