Lego 2k Drive apocalypse AU: Prospecto valley

Ever since things took a turn for the worse for Bricklandia, many of the biomes that were once great locales to race, have now become incredibly dangerous due to the increase of violence. For Prospecto valley it was a grim sight to behold, from lustrous tress and flowing rivers, to decaying foliage and polluted waters, the valley's environment had decayed over the days during the cheater's reign. not only that, but the valley's economy had also taken a huge hit ever since Z's takeover as he had taken most of its resources (especially the gold) and used them for his vanity projects which also worsened the biome's state even more. not to mention. it's also seen a huge increase of crime due to the collapse, thanks to those like the Thief at sea (Smugglin sally) plundering wandering boats and the Crazy old cat lady (Bertie backfire) unleashing his swarm of cats on anyone who even dared entering her domain. so, if you're thinking about taking a vacation here, then you're better off somewhere else.

The Gritty Gold-dweller

Real name: [UNKNOWN]

Threat class: A

Track: Gold-mine labyrinth

Gate key: golden nugget

similar to the Skull baron, the origins of this mine dweller are completely shrouded in mystery. some claim that he was a worker that got lost in the mines, others say that he's actually beloved prospector rusty nuggets underneath the mask, who had volunteered to enter the mines in search of its last pieces of gold since most of it had been seized by Z and his cronies. but regardless of what you believe in, if you've been in a gold mine and know what it feels like, then the Gritty gold-dweller is a good example of what living underground for far too long can do to someone. since rusty nuggets' disappearance, things have gotten way worse for the surface. frequent earthquakes, giant holes everywhere emerging at every turn. so, when a group of people try to go underground to fix it, they came back completely shaken and utterly traumatized, unable to recover from what they just witnessed. those who stayed on the surface aren't sure why, but the group claimed that they were attacked by a mysterious old man who wore a brown miner's outfit and gray gas mask wielding a pickaxe, before trying to chase them out with what they described as a giant vehicle with a mouth made from two large scoop buckets, mechanical arms with drills that looked like they were made of gold and a cargo bed holding tons and tons of gold situated on the back of the vehicle. this came about when the group tried to take bags of gold from what seemed like a broken-down machine before they were attacked by the aforementioned miner. since then, nobody has ever gone down into the mines after the incident, and it's not because they wanted to, but because everyone has become too scared of what lies beneath. and if the miner won't get them, then at this point, we don't know what will.

The Thief at Sea

Real name: Smugglin sally

Threat class: A

Track: Stormy riverbend

Gate key: Golden bar

If you thought smugglin sally was already bad enough, then things certainly got even worse with bricklandia's collapse. now, it's no secret that sally is a thief, that's pretty much in her name. if there's something she likes she'll gladly take it, even if she's being chase by the police or just snatched it out of their hands while drinking tea. sure, it did start off as simple harmless theft. once the riots started flooding bricklandia, her kleptomania had gotten worse over the course of a few minutes. as resources began to slowly dwindle, she started to resort to more violent kinds of crime in order to survive, from piracy, assault to even grand larceny of an old ship she now sails on. now that the police weren't there to stop her, she was basically allowed to do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. now equipped with a flintlock pistol, cutlass sword and an entire crew backing her up. she still sails the valley's rivers to this day, ready to steal anything they can get her hands on.

The Feral stallion

Real name: Sal the stallion

Threat class: A

Track: Farmland gauntlet

Gate key: Lucky horseshoe

Sal has always been such a carefree horse since he first moved to the farm, from manual work, galloping in the fields, to winning races in his horse-sized vehicles. life was fairly relaxing for him and his farm-family. that is until the riots started happening, and things took a major toll for the farm. at first, it started off fairly small and was manageable. but then pollution started to seep into the valley's soil and the crop started to wilt away. soon they were barely scrapping by, living on nothing but mere pennies, Sal's farm tried to salvage what was left of their farm, but that wasn't enough to feed the entire family, and they were forced to cut down on portions every night. eventually, when money and food finally ran out, the owners decided to just give up and simply abandon the farm and go to the resort above the sky. Sal of course was not happy to hear the news, after everything they went through as a family, they were just gonna abandon the farm just like that. this act of betrayal proved to be the final straw for the already strained horse, and something inside of him had snapped. without warning, he and the other animals attacked their human owners before destroying what was left of farm. their house, barn, and entire field of crop. ransacked by Sal who now felt nothing but pure rage towards those he once considered family, the only member that survived the attack was Haley who now lives atop the resort in the sky. ever since the collapse, no one knows where Sal is now. rumors say that he and his army of feral farm animals had escaped into the deeper parts of the valley, occasionally leaving their spot to steal food and supplies from anyone they come across.

The Crazy Old Cat Lady

Real name: Bertie backfire

Threat class: B

Track: Cat-scratch Lake

Gate key: Ball of yarn

It's no secret that Bertie is a cat person, so much so that that her house is full of every type of feline you can think of. grey cats, white cats, black cats, calico cats, any kind of feline. this may seem harmless at first, and frankly it was (aside from having to clean up their messes everytime). until the collapse happened, and her obsession with cats had gotten even worse. from day one she began collecting cats left and right, claiming that she was doing this to "Protect them" from the horrors of Bricklandia. some people believed her cause at first, but slowly, they became alienated by her obsession, most of them leaving because of it. soon, her house and by extension the village had become overrun with cats, so much so that the residents were forced to move out of their homes even Bertie's own daughter had to leave because of her. Bertie on the other hand wasn't doing good mentally, time hasn't been kind to her since the collapse, lack of human interaction, constant cat scratching and awful smells and tending to their needs had drove her to the point of insanity. but despite that, Bertie still believes that she's doing the right thing protecting these cats. with how bad Prospecto valley had gotten, these felines needed someone to protect them from any kind of harm that comes their way. and if people don't understand, then she'll make them understand one way or another.

The Wandering bureaucrat

Real name: Chamfered bricks

Threat class: C

Track: Polluted Floral zone

Gate key: Pocket watch

Greed hasn't always brought out the best of people, especially when the apocalypse has started. take Chamfered bricks for example, a greedy logging mill owner who took advantage of every kind of White-collar crime you can think of. Embezzlement, Bribery, Fraud, Tax evasion, and so much more. not to mention the partnership he made with Shadow Z, just so he can continue to fill his own pockets. from that alone, it seems like bricks was set for life. then the collapse happened, and thanks to a certain cheater backstabbing him, he'd lost everything. his wealth, his company, even his own pride had been shattered. now left with nothing and sent back down to Bricklandia, Chamfered was now forced to defend for himself against people he once looked down on. however, Bricks' time within this now hostile world had made him humbler over the last few years. a bit that is, he is still the same filthy opportunist he was back then, but now that he has a better view of the world, he's more willing to give up everything he has. If defeating Shadow Z means Bricklandia will get better, then by all means he'll take every necessary measure to see this through.

The Phantom foul

Real name: Laumina foul

Threat class: B

Track: Switchback theater

Gate key: Other half of a porcelain mask

Laumina had everything you could ever dream of. fame, fortune, a racing career, a music career, even a loyal fanbase by her side, literally anything a person could ever want in their life she has tenfold. however, after Z's Takeover, things started to take a turn for the worst. at first, it started fairly small with him constantly hitting on her and asking her out, but when Laumina continuously turned him down every time, that's where things started to escalate. eventually, this led to Shadow Z purposely setting a room on fire, with Laumina still in it, leading to her getting some nasty burn scars on her body, including half of her face. this broke her significantly, both mentally, psychically and socially. she couldn't sing very well, has a hard time eating her meals, she barely makes any sort of appearance for fans, and when she actually does, she's usually hiding her face behind a mask or a veil. then, one fateful day in the Switchback theater, during one of her performances, her mask suddenly came off, exposing her burnt face in front of everyone in the theater. what happened next felt like a blur to her, all she could hear were people laughing at her even calling her names, but then the laughs quickly turned into screams (even including hers) as well as the sounds of a stuff collapsing and attendees evacuating in droves. before she knew it, she was now trapped inside the theater, no way in and no way out. to this day, nobody knows what became of Laumina after the theater collapsed, rumors say they can hear the faint sounds of a woman singing a melody from it, while others say that she's still alive, but chose to isolate herself in the now abandoned theater.

I finally managed to draw jiffy in the shadow z wins au here’s a few facts about him let me know if you have more ideas

-although jiffy dosent agree with how shadow z is running bricklandia he loves shadow z with his heart so he accepts this new bricklandia

- Shadow z made him one of the racers that lives up in the sky resort he pretends he’s oblivious to what’s going on like the rest but he knows the truth

- he’d be willing to do almost anything for shadow z

- he’s a member of the shadow squad

(That’s all I got for now imma head to bed and check up in the morning)

honestly, this is some really good art you've made. I especially love his Shadow squad racing outfit. which is surprisingly accurate to how I imagined the Shadow squad would look like in the au (though in his case, red was a choice Z personally made. the Shadow squad do share a similar design to the one shown here, except they're in purple. I'd probably consider him to be the second-in-command to the squad)

also, the idea of him being fully aware of Z's mistreatment of everyone in bricklandia as well as his part in its collapse but doesn't have the courage to speak up and suffering in silence is pretty interesting.

Lego 2k Drive apocalypse AU: Big Butte county

Ever since things took a turn for the worse for Bricklandia, many of the biomes that were once great locales to race, have now become incredibly dangerous due to the increase of violence. For Big Butte, not only did they had to face violent riots everyday. but also, continuous Sandstorms, falling rocks & the looming threat of food poisoning since most of its restaurants have been ransacked. then there's the matter of the other threats. Which has grown substantially thanks to the Skull baron: a mysterious figure that wears a skull above their face. there's also the astral smoke which can through any nook & cranny around Big butte, piles and piles of rotten pastry strewn about, some even getting into the river making it a major hazard. and then there's the little town behind the giant stone monument. which has become a magnet for continuous violence and crime.

in order to prevent the biomes from intertwining with each other, Clutch and a group of people his have created gates that can only be unlocked via artifacts belonging to each marauder. unlocking the gate is easy enough, but getting each artifact though is arguably the hardest part of the task.

The Friendly Dust-devil

Real name: Chip Howser

Threat class: C

Track: Dust Devil Dome

Gate key: Rusty Wrench

Even before the apocalypse happened, Chip has always been a really kind person at heart, in spite of how dim witted he was with all of his terrible ideas. however, he also had a bit of an inferiority complex as well, being the son of Brick howser, he always saw himself as not being good enough to be a part of her mother's legacy. so, when the apocalypse began and her mother had mysteriously disappeared, it was here, that he knew he had to put his best foot down if he wanted to protect everyone from big butte's dangers. as well as avenge his mother for who Z presumably did something to her.

The Disgraced frontier

Real name: Dr. Jette fastro

Threat class: A

Track: Astral Smoke Research Facilities

Gate key: Fastro's old helmet

Dr. Jette Fastro was one of the best scientists Big butte ever had, from time-traveling, studying rocket science and even Racing. with a track record like that, she clearly had a bright career ahead of her. but then the incident happened and before she knew it, everything she had was taken away from her. Fastro could not accept this reality, she really couldn't. so, in a desperate bid get her old life back, she started a new project that researched into gas and medication, days later she finally completed her big project, it was called Astral smoke. a painkiller type smoke that if inhaled can help relieve their stress and make them forget their problems. little did she know however, was that it had major side effects to it. such as hallucinations or making someone lose their sense of empathy. even becoming sociopathic. unfortunately, Fastro was too far gone in her delusions to realize this. having tested the smoke on herself. as a result, she became a heartless, uncaring woman that spreads Astral smoke wherever she went.

El Diablo De Las Especias

Real name: Fernando swerve

Threat class: B

Track: Drive-thru Danger

Gate key: Bottle of Extreme hot sauce

If there was one thing people would call Fernando swerve. it would be passionate and compassionate. but one thing people never called him was crazy and obsessed. ever since he and Maple Barr broke up and his recipes had become bland and mild, Fernando slowly became obsessed with spice, wanting something that could give flavor to his mouth. so much so that he even resorted to genetically alter various peppers to make them even more spicier. eventually when the apocalypse began, he figured that he might as well share his new spices to everyone in the county. before people knew it, fernando was serving them up hot on plates like wildfire. and for everyone who consumed these spice induced recipes, it literally felt like a wildfire was going on in their stomachs. but he didn't care if people's mouths were on fire, he didn't care if his customers couldn't take it, all it mattered to him was that his food had actual taste again.

The Rotten baker

Real name: Maple Barr

Threat class: A

Track: Rotten glaze river

Gate key: prized ribbon

Maple has always been a really sweet & hard-working woman ever since she was born. I mean she was raised well by her grandparents who took her in, got to achieve her dream of being the owner of her own Bakery as well as her own racing career, and eventually fell in love with the greatest chef she's ever met with Fernando swerve. nothing could go wrong with this, right? Except it did, she ended up breaking up with swerve due to both of them allegedly cheating on one another, she was also fired from her own business due to misconduct and was replaced with a more younger manager. it became too much for her, and later on, when riots in bricklandia were just getting heated, Maple Barr now enraged, created a pastry mix that consisted of less than fresh ingredients. she came back to her bakery and without warning, unleashed this rotten mix into the batter and somehow created a chain reaction that turned the bakery into a huge pile of rotten pastry. during this, she's also saved the last box of donuts she made before her firing. since then, maple was bent on protecting the last batch of donuts from anyone who try to get their grubby hands on them. even if she has to get her hands dirty.

Note: the red stuff on her Knife is actually strawberry jam, in case you're curious

The Intergalactic enforcer

Real name: Hugh mann

Threat class: A

Track: G.M.B (Grey Menn Base)

Gate key: parking sign

Trying to be accepted is one thing, but trying to cope with the apocalypse is another thing entirely. this was the case for Hugh mann, a benevolent alien who just wanted to be accepted for who he was but was given odd stares wherever he went. this made him anxious and uneasy towards those he's interacted with. he even felt like some people were stalking him at every turn, especially Fastro who does not trust him at all. when the apocalypse came, he tried to remain peaceful and humble as much as he could. but eventually like everyone else, he sadly snapped under pressure. unable to handle the stress anymore, he decided to take matters into his own hands and created a group called "The G.M" (Grey Menn) to try and at least quell the riots as much as possible. but while this goal started out quite noble at first, as time went on, the G.M started to use more violent measures in order the quell these riots, from laser gates, stun blasters to even using astral smoke in order to calm them down. as for Hugh himself, he isn't doing so well either, as with each passing day, becoming more violent and paranoid with each different threat his crew has to deal with. not realizing that he's become the very thing he tried to stop. so, whether people like it or not, he'll always be watching their every move no matter what the cost is.

The Skull baron

Real name: [UNKNOWN]

Threat class: A

Track: Skull fort

Gate key: Pipe wrench

No one knows where the Skull baron came from. some say he was a disgraced racer that came back for vengeance, others say he's a criminal that's escape from jail and created the group just to cause chaos. but some say he's the legendary stunt pilot Brick Howser herself. but regardless of what people say, when Brick Howser disappeared that day, the Skull baron came out to play. and boy he really plays rough. if there were three words that described him, it would be ruthless, fearsome and determined. equipped with a machete and an entire army of scavengers backing him up. he's considered one of the most dangerous marauders of Bricklandia, and for good reason, if there was something that they needed, then he'll get it through any means necessary. if there was someone that needed to be taken care of, he does it without hesitation. however, as of now, there is something (or someone) that he always hesitates on everytime they make contact, that being The Friendly Dust-devil himself: Chip Howser. no one knows why he keeps avoiding him, but if the theory regarding Brick Howser is true. then family bonds are bound to strain even further.

[skysensei07]

Hey do you have an ideas for Oliver and jiffy I your aproclapse au?

I also need an idea for Oliver in your other lego 2k drive au where shadow z takes over

I’m making new ocs as well for lego 2k drive one of them is a werewolvemguy that I’m gonna ship with baron von rose the other with be rainbow themed

going off from the headcanons you made for Jiffy a few months back, i could see him as not only being the second in command to Z, but also trying to act as an unknown person secretly trying to help The Driver by providing tidbits of information during their trip through this now Bricklandia, whether be upgrades or providing bits of story regarding the now barren and bleak land.

As for Oliver, I'd probably see him as being the leader of the Turbo Acres safe haven (Which is considered the only place that wasn't but the collapse). with Clutch gone, Oliver essentially takes his lover's place as leader, trying to provide the people with what little they have. doesn't help that the people you knew and loved have either gone insane or became overwhelmed with hopelessness, that they chose to isolate themselves from the outside world.

this is all i have at the moment, but i hope i gave you some answers.

[skysensei07]

A teaser for those who are waiting patiently.

[skysensei07]

story for my Lego 2k drive AU i'm planning hehe

SPOILERS!!!

Story: Shadow Z Wins the sky cup grand prix once again. leaving the rookie forever in the dust. and Clutch's career in Jeopardy. however, that was just the start of what would come next.

a few days after winning the grand prix again. Shadow Z ends up letting his recent victory goes to his head. and it was here that he wanted more power. so, he began doing illegal activity behind the scenes. first bribing the officials for each biome in order to gain leadership of them, then acquire every business he can get his hands on. then making ridiculous demands to each of them (like promoting his image) as well as blackmailing them. then rig the rules for the sky cup grand prix to his liking. then finally giving his vehicles some upgrades (and for those who are wondering, these upgrades are also incredibly illegal). this of course, takes a major toll on all of them (Especially Racington). but using their last bit of hope, the rivals decided to give it their all to bring down shadow z once and for all. while some were successful in beating the Shadow squad, their efforts would sadly be in vain. as when they all finally got to the sky cup grand prix. each rival ended up losing one by one due to the aforementioned illegal upgrades, he had gotten which gave them an unfair advantage.

these would ultimately drive them all to the edge. and slowly, they began blaming each other which would escalate into a huge fight. this eventually extended to the denizens of Bricklandia as well, as street riots, vehicular brawls grew rapidly with each passing day. and before everyone knew it, Bricklandia had collapsed.

what used to be a land full of life, racing, adrenaline and creativity, now lied the barren landscapes of a broken world. its only safe haven being turbo acres, the former base of where Clutch racington used to be. but other than that, all three of the biomes have now become hostile areas due to the harsh environment.

the rivals on the other hand, having lost hope and driven to insanity, are now held up in their own territories. each of them becoming twisted in different ways. punishing those who even dare enter. or even worse, try to steal their checkered flags from them. that alone made bricklandia even more dangerous to live in than it already was. and to add insult to injury, Shadow Z was now living it at the top, having turned the sky cup grand prix track into a luxurious resort. he now welcomed guests with hospitality.

but of course, this is just a mask that hides his true motives. ensuring that his actions wouldn't be discovered, he also decides to cut bricklandia off from the rest of the world. all that was left of bricklandia's glory days was a rainbow brick that now powered the last few machines that were still functioning. But that alone wasn't enough to help this broken land. some people try and are still helping to rebuild what's left of bricklandia. but the Damage Z had done was nearly unfixable. almost permanent even. at this point, bricklandia had entered its dark ages. what was heaven was now hell for those who lived there. while those who lived up high in the sky resort, lived luxuriously, ignorant of what's happening underneath.

As for Vikki and Parker. needless to say, they won't doing any narration after this whole life-changing incident.
