(With Vinny and the others)
They all walked through the forest, Vinny avoiding eye contact with everyone. The guilt he felt knowing he was the reason they were all was overbearing, to him he deserved whatever happened to his arm.
Kai seemed to notice the cameraman who was trapped in thought and walked next to him, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “You look blue buddy, what’s on your mind?” He questioned.
“Of course he’s upset Kai, his arm’s probably broken” Jay spoke, as he rolled his eyes.
“Shut up Jay” The fire ninja replied bluntly. It was a normal response to Jay, he would randomly tell Jay to shut up even when he wasn’t talking.
“Enough you two” Nya sighed as she watched her lover and brother squabble like toddlers.
“Alright alright…back to the questions, is anything on your mind?” Kai as Vinny who was looking away, avoiding eye contact.
“I…not really…just worried about the others…” Vinny spoke timidly as he looked at the ground, it wasn’t really a lie, he was concerned for the others, but he was mad at himself for being an idiot.
“They’re strong, if we managed to be safe this long, they’ll be perfectly fine” Lloyd spoke, “They have most of the brains of our group, other than Nya” he added, causing the water ninja to smile at the compliment.
“We can be smart” Cole spoke, Jay and Kai nodded in agreement.
“Sure you can” Nya spoke sarcastically as she rolled his eyes, causing Vinny to chuckle softly.
“When we get back we’re playing video games…” Jay spoke.
“Definitely” Cole and Kai spoke in unison.
“I still need to reorganise my side of the room” Nya groaned, causing Jay to snicker.
“Should’ve got it done when I did” The lightning ninja teased, receiving a glare from Nya.
“I swear whoever that guy from yesterday was in already a p-“ Kai was cut off as a spear flew by his face, narrowly missing him.
“What the…?” Vinny muttered as he and the others turned around to the spear which was lodged in a tree. Before they could say anything, there was two bangs on the ground that sounded like metal, and the spear exploded.
The cameraman stumbled back and fell onto the ground, his dagger falling out of his pocket, down next to him. The others managed to stay standing. Lloyd crouched near Vinny, holding his arm to help him stand up.
“Who’s there!?” Cole shouted as he banged his fists together, triggering his earth punch. Kai formed a fireball while Jay and Nya pulled out their swords.
As Lloyd began helping Vinny up, he was cut off by a harsh kick to his chest as he was knocked back into Nya, she thankfully caught him and lessened the impact. The cameraman stared back at Lloyd worriedly, but was given a thumbs up from in for comfort.
Vinny looked back in front of him, he took a sharp breathe as he felt cold metal pressed against his neck. It was a spear, which led up to a man…a cold, emotionless expression on his face…
The man was intimidating…black scleras with silver irises that pierced anyones soul just by looking at him, in this case…Vinnys’ soul…scars across his face…not as much as Rida though…a yin sign on his left cheek,…two different skin tones…vitiligo…as well as floor long, fluffy black hair that was tied up in a single bubble braid.
He wore balloon harem pants, with a short waist cloth, armour that looked like it weighed a ton, hardly any of his body shown other than his face. His armour had a flower like insignia which no doubt held some meaning. The spear had some gems scattered across it’s handle as well as the armour. His appearance was interesting…his most striking features, his hair, eyes and vitiligo…
Vinnys’ trembled as the blade of the spear was kept against his neck, he gulped, his adam apple bobbing as he done so. He noticed the mans’ eyes flick down to the dagger which was laid across the ground, a flick of recognition was no doubt in the mans’ expression, before his expression darkened.
“Where’s the dagger from?” The man spoke, it wasn’t a choice to answer he had to. The ninja watched from behind, Nya working up the courage to walk over and crouch next to Vinny knocking the mans’ spear away from his neck.
“He doesn’t have to answer you” the water ninja hissed as she grabbed the dagger from the ground and gave it to Vinny.
“N-Nya it’s fine, honestly…” the cameraman replied a little touched at the care from Nya, considering they’ve only been close friends for a few days, “I-I brought it from somewhere…” Vinny replied to the mans’ question, it was a lie, but it was what everyone believed.
The mans’ eyes sharpened as he grabbed Vinny by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up, “Lying won’t do you any good” He spoke, his voice hid no malice, no threats…no emotion and neither did his expression.
“What would you know?” Kai hissed from the back, clearly ready to fight whenever anything bad happened, the man just ignored Kai.
“I-I’m not lying…” Vinny spoke, his voice was shaking, did the man know Rida and Enji? Did he work with them? Was all that was going through his mind, he couldn’t deal with another like Enji. He looked up at the man, his expression begging for him to stop with the questions, he didn’t want the others finding out he lied.
The mans’ monotone expression faded for a second into realisation, before he sighed and let go of Vinny, and backing away. When this happened the others immediately bunched together. The cameraman let out a shaky breathe one he didn’t know he was holding once he was let go.
“Who are you?” Lloyd questioned,
“Shancai, prince and sworn protector of the Ivory Kingdom” the man spoke before he helped Vinny get up from the ground.
“Hah…that’s nice, but why’d you feel the need to attack us!?” Jay questioned, his rage not well hidden.
“You aren’t from here, technically trespassers” the man spoke bluntly, as he closed his hand around the spear and it disappeared into thin air.
“Ok cool, so where are we?” Kai questioned, as he rubbed his temples.
“As of now, Ivory Kingdom, if you were further into the forest would be the Grove where my sister protects” Shancai spoke as he dragged Vinny to follow him, making sure not to hurt his arm.
“Where are you taking us?” Lloyd asked.
“My mother, she can most likely take you back to wherever you’re from” Shancai replied as he continued walking, he kept Vinny close, glancing at him every now and then, the cameraman stuffed the dagger into his pocket.
“You’re helping us?” Cole asked.
“For now…if I find out you’ve caused trouble in your time of being here I won’t hesitate to change my mind” Shancai replied, as he gave the others a glare.
They continued walking, “I expect a truthful answer when we’re alone…” Shancai whispered quietly to Vinny causing him to take a sharp breathe and nod slightly.
This man definitely knew who Enji and Rida were…Vinny could only hope this man wasn’t working with them…
(I UNDERSTAND VINNY AND SHANCAI HAD A ROUGH MEETING BUT TRUST ME!!! IT WILL GET BETTER IT WILL GET BETTER!!! Also I love Shancai more than all my ocs…he’s so pretty🥺)
(this is probably gonna be a short chapter, I suggest you read parts 1-9 if you haven’t already, but yea I have a little bit of time❤️❤️ Also Wu told Misako about everything and what Jay said.)
Awhile late Garmadon was walking around until he bumped into Misako. “Garmadon..”The woman said(ahh yess the woman) “Misako….”Garmadon replied. “I’ve wanted to ask you a question about a certain someone Misako said, Garmadon obviously knew who he was talking about, “Great now you too…”He mumbled earning a confused look from Misako. “I’m curious about you and Vinny, you both seem really close and and Wu told me when Jay asked a specific question you seemed upset as to happen at you did” Misako said (yes I made Misako a pain in the ass cause she is one no offence to anyone who likes her) “He told you what a happened and that it was an accident” Garmadon hissed. Misako put her hands put in this ok calm down way “I’m just saying you seem a little protective of him, and I’m just curious what would happen if someone hurt him” Misako said earning a death stare from Garmadon it was true he was protective of Vinny but that’s not his fault if the son of a god fell in love with a normal human of course he was gonna be protective. “If someone hurt him what would you do…and why is he special in some way..?” Misako asked. “I would kill them and for you to suggest that there is something going on between us is ridiculous” Garmadon replied trying to keep his cool. “What would happen if he almost died…?”She asked again. At that point Garmadon was losing it and clenched his fists, “You don’t want to know the answer to that…”He replied
“You seem tense is the thought of something bad happening to him that disturbing”She said, “I already told you there’s nothing going on between us”He repeated slowly getting annoyed. “I’m just curious what changed? That could’ve brought you two closer together”She said, “I already fucking told you nothing changed”Garmadon repeated for a third time. “No something has changed everyone knows it I’m pretty sure some of the ninja are catching on”Misako said continuing to be a pain in the ass. “Maybe something has changed but not between me, you, Lloyd or my brother, me deciding to change for the better doesn’t involve you, because not one of you decided to give a chance to change at least a normal fucking human who I’ve only spoken to once actually cared and gave me a chance, sure he was scared but who could blame him!”Garmadon shouted before walking away little did he know that there were many people eavesdropping.

Vinny was in his room for the rest of the day talking to Rida, no one really bothered him sure there would be the occasional knock and offer of food, other than that no one came. It was now night and Vinny let out a tired yawn, truth was he really needed a goodnights sleep, Rida let out a chuckle, "Looks like you should get some rest" The orange eyed man spoke out.
"Y-yea, I guess I should...Enji's been messing with me, I haven't gotten a good sleep for a few days..." The cameraman replied as he stretched out, "Then I'll leave you to it...and no need to worry Enji won't be coming today" Rida spoke calmly as he stood up and helped Vinny off the ground. The cameraman smiled clearly liking the fact he won't have to deal with Enji and could get some sleep.
"I'll be seeing you tomorrow, right?" The orange eyed man asked as he looking at Vinny intently, "Yea...9:30 here..." The cameraman replied as he took off his jacket and ran his hand through his hair clearly sleep deprived. "Very well sleep well..." Rida spoke before disappearing, Vinny was a little surprised at the way Rida just disappeared but he shrugged it off he was too tired to think.
"Fuck...a shower would be nice..." The cameraman mumbled to himself as he got sat on the bed. Vinny sat there for 10 minutes thinking about literally nothing. Eventually the cameraman snapped out of it and stood up he got some clean clothes ready and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Vinny then stripped of his clothing and turned on the shower. Before he entered he took off the bandages on his hand and foot and remembered to take the dagger out of the pocket of his pants.
The cameraman then entered the shower and let out a sigh of relief, the water was warm and comforting Vinny wanted to sleep in there but he knew he couldn't. The cameraman reached to get something, but noticed his hand, a stab wound and burn marks. "I'm surprised I haven't lost this hand yet..." Vinny mumbled as he winced slightly in pain at the water touching his hand. "I should get this checked out...probably by Zane..." He added, the truth was his hand looked like shit and the cameraman was worried it might get infected along with his foot.
Vinny decided to keep his hand out of the water as much as he could, but went he started to shampoo his hair the soap on the cuts hurt like hell, "God damnit..." The cameraman hissed in pain, he was trying his best to bare with it but it was becoming unbearable. "This shit needs stitches..." Vinny thought as he leaned against the wall, of the shower, the steam on his body felt nice, it fogged up the shower and mirror of the bathroom as well. The mirror being fogged made the cameraman feel better, it was probably, because of how many times Enji came out of it. Rida told Vinny, Enji wouldn't come but he was still a little paranoid.
Vinny felt a little dizzy and put his hand on his head. "What the hell...?" The cameraman mumbled, it was no surprise Vinny felt dizzy he was sleep deprived and probably hasn't had a proper meal. The cameraman quickly finished the shower, if he was going to pass out there was no way it would be in the bathroom. Vinny dried himself off and put on his clothes, he was wearing shorts and a shirt. After getting dressed Vinny lied down on his bed and groaned, he was so tired and worried about Garmadon, he probably was safe but Vinny was still worried he wanted his love next to him.
The cameraman tossed and turned trying to fall asleep but he couldn't after an hour of this he eventually drifted off.

Wu and Vinny made it to the library and they both sat down, "I would like to know what's happened between you and my brother" Wu said as he pour tea because he can't have a conversation without tea. "Me and Garmadon? N-nothing's happened between us" Vinny replied nervously as he avoided eye contact and itched his hand. Wu let out a sigh, "You don't have to tell me, but don't lie about it, it's very obvious something happened and when I was talking to him he mentioned that some words were exchanged between you two" Wu added as he sipped tea.
The cameraman looked like he was going to say something but instead went quiet and looked at the ground. "As I said...we don't have to talk about it, but I have another question" Wu said in a comforting tone. Hearing this caught Vinnys' attention and he looked at Wu. "It's about that...shadow thing...has it appeared lately?" Wu asked curiously, hearing this instantly made Vinny go could and his tense up. He wasn't ready to answer questions about Enji, he hardly knew him and all he's done so far is give him trauma and ruin his relationship with Garmadon. "Is everything alright?" Wu asked noticing the cameramans' tense stature.
"Hmm..? Yea, I'm fine the shadow thing hasn't appeared again, I just think I was hallucinating things at that point" Vinny lied not wanting to talk about Enji and how would be eve start talking about Rida. "Interesting...there is a chance you were hallucinating or maybe...a dream in a dream?" Wu suggested not catching onto the lie. "Yea it probably was...I've had dreams like that before" the cameraman lied again.
Wu looked back a Vinny and observed him, his eyes ended up landing on the bandage on his hand that was stabbed by Enji. "What happened to your hand?" Wu asked his voice tainted with slight worry. "O-Oh I just got cut by a razor, it's getting better and honestly I like the way the bandages feel on my hands" Vinny said, adding another lie. "A razor...this morning you were in quite a...mood...did you get any sleep last night?" Wu asked changing the topic. "Yea I slept" Vinny replied, it wasn't really a lie he did get sleep just not a lot of it.
"I...you can go now" Wu said calmly resisting the urge to ask something, the cameraman nodded and got up and left. he quickly paced towards his room not wanting to talk to anyone else. Vinny made it to his room and slumped on the bed. He had his faced planted into the bed and groaned before hearing footsteps. The cameraman thought the worse, "Enji if you're here just come out" Vinny groaned, a soft chuckle was heard as not Enji, but Rida instead emerged from a dark corner.
"O-Oh umm...Rida..." Vinny said out awkwardly.
(ya'll I think now's a good time to say that Enji had long fluffy hair that covers half his chest and when I say fluffy it's soft too also can someone tell me what Rida and Enji should be??? A couple, friends, one sided relationship???????)

(with Macaque) Macaque managed to slip away into the shadows with Red Son and brought him to the castle before resting him the bed, "Stay here kid I'll go get things to fix you up" Macaque said before disappearing, Red Son felt like absolute dog shit, his father left him there like he always done hell he almost died he couldn't trust anyone except Macaque, you see well Macaque has always been there for him he helped him by managing to get him away from his parents he didn't see Macaque as family more just as a friend. Red Son brought his knees to his chest before hugging himself and sobbing quietly.
Macaque came back and saw Red Son, "You poor thing..."Macaque said out feeling empathetic. He gently brought Red Son closer before carefully taking off his jacket and putting his glasses on the bedside table. The shadow demon let out a sharp sigh as he stared at his friends' wounds. "Red, bud can you take off your shirt for me? Need ta see your wounds better" Macaque asked which the prince obeyed taking off his shirt letting out a small whimper due to how much his body hurt. Macaque handed him an ice back to put on his bruise as he began gently disinfecting his wounds. Red Son hissed in pain as he felt the alcohol disinfect hit his wounds, "Sorry sorry..."Macaque instantly said. This took about 10 minutes, "Hey why don't you go have a shower then I'll put the bandages on and I'll go make you some food to eat once you're done" Macaque said before getting up to give Red Son some privacy.
The prince turned on the shower letting it adjust to the perfect temperature before stripping the rest of his clothing and untying his hair. He then carefully went in their letting out a small pained whimper which turned to relief as the warm water poured over his body comforting him, the prince reached toward the shampoo and picked it up, he then lathered his hair with it the room filled up as the smell of vanilla and raspberry filled his senses his tail flicked splashing a little water to the side. Red Son then put conditioner in his hair which was the same scent. He then scrubbed his skin with a lavender body soap. He was still being careful but he eventually finished and turned off the water, wrapping a towel around himself. Red Son went in his room then put his boxers on then sweatpants he didn't put his shirt on yet, Macaque needed to put the bandages on.
"Macaque! You can come in" Red Son said out he knew he would be heard Macaque came in with two bowls of noodles, "There we go, you look better already" Macaque said out happily before handing Red Son his bowl, "Made it extra spicy just the way you like it" the monkey demon said before grabbing bandages. Red Son smiled at him and thanked him. "Well the good thing is I managed to get you out place but now Wukong and his friends know we're friends" Macaque said, "I highly doubt they think we're friends that probably think there's something in it for you" Red replied as he began eating.
Macaque finished bandaging him up and started eating his noodles, "Red Son!!Come here right now" DBK shouted. Macaque stared at Red Son worriedly, "You sure you wanna go to them?" He asked which Red Son nodded too before finishing up eating putting on his shirt and going down, "He really needs to stop leaving me here" Macaque told himself.
"F-Father you wanted to see me?" Red Son said out nervously as he fixed himself up, "Your idiocy made us embarrass ourselves in front of the brats" Pif said out in a bitter tone, "B-but I did what I was told too I kept them busy" The fiery prince stuttered out nervously earning a scoff from his mother, "Doesn't even know what he did wrong" she said. His father stared down at him angrily, "You imbecile! if you haven't had made a massive fire this never would've happen!!!!" DBK scolded his son, "O-oh! I'm s-sorry it won't happen again I promise" Red Son instantly apologised, " It better not...you bring shame to the family name" His mother said mumbling the last part. "Now hurry along my useless son and go build some more machines because that's all you're good for and even those aren't good" Pif said out , "Y-yes mother..." Red Son replied sadly before walking away.
Red Son began working hard hammering and soldering things together. He stared at a piece of metal before pressing his face against it, "Why do I still tolerate them..."He whispered to himself. He continued to stare at the metal before attempting to solder it to another piece. Suddenly a huge flame appeared and Red Son backed away instantly stopping the fire, "W-well that wasn't meant to happen..." Red Son said.
Red Son got up before teleporting away into the city he lifted a hoodie over his head before continuing to walk around, it was the afternoon it's been 2 hours since the battle finished and well he was exhausted but he didn't want to spend time in that hellhole, suddenly out of nowhere it began raining cause no story is complete without some rain. "Ah great just what I fucking needed!! Just the cherry on top to this day!" He hissed. Red Son tried to teleport but couldn't due to it extinguishing his flame he let out a sigh before he began kicking rocks as he walked, "Stupid family, stupid dragon horse girl, stupid Monkey king, stupid noodle boy and the rest of his friends,...stupid noodle boy and his stupid handsome face" Red Son realised what he said and blush spread across his face. "What am I on about he isn't handsome!!But he is...that peasant must've done something to me!!" Red Son hissed.
He continued walking before bumping into a familiar face. I wonder who it could be???
(also his tail is like a demon tail it has a little spade shape at the tip)
(ok i found a little time to upload i'll try my best to make this a good part go check out the other parts if you haven't already)
Vinny stared at Lloyd embarrassed, "Now that is something i won't tell you or anyone" Vinny chuckled awkwardly, "i do say i am quite impressed by your relationship with my brother i would have never expected this to happen and for how long have you been together"Wu asked curiously. Vinny smiled before saying" Honestly we actually got together the day before you two came and asked for help", Lloyd stared at him before realisation was evident on his face, "that explains alot"Lloyd said.
Vinny chuckled and nodded and stroked his hand through Garmadons' hair, this caused Garmadon to purr causing Vinny to blush. "so Nya knew about this before all of us, damn.. i can't believe it i'm offended she never told me"Lloyd jokingly said earning a soft laugh from everyone. "Well i do apologise deeply to you brother we should have seen through different perspectives to help you, and i apologise to you about how Misako treated you"Wu said.
Garmadon had his head laying on Vinnys' lap he was staring at the wall, and was quiet for a minute, "It's...fine..."Garmadon finally said his voice sounded soft and broken he hated thinking about anything about forgiving them but they deserved all except Misako...How could he forgive her while he was trapped in the underworld he would've been there for his son but hen when he came back he had to fight him and hell he almost killed him when he was brought back by Harumi.
Vinny stared at Garmadon knowing he was upset, he then gently kissed his fore head attempting to comfort him. "we shall leave you two alone now"Wu said as he left closing the door behind them. "you feeling okay?"Vinny asked earning a small nod from Garmadon. "Let's take a nap that'll make you feel better"Vinny said before laying down and resting Garmadons' head on his chest. "Good night"Vinny said, before being the first one to sleep. Garmadon noticed that his lover was asleep as continued to stare at the wall. "what's wrong with me"He whispered, "why are my eyes like this?"Garmadon thought before rubbing his eyes and noticing a redish liquid on his hands"why are they watery...?". Garmadon hugged himself before digging his nails into his skin. "Why is this happening...?"he whimpered quietly, before slowly falling asleep.
(ah yes Garmadon angst and yes his tears a red)(i hope you all liked this part)

"M-Monkey King!" Mk stuttered out seeing his mentor in front of him staring wondering why the son of their enemy is here. "I-I can explain" Mk said, "Oh you better explain" Wukong said going closer to Mk and inspecting Red Son. "S-so you see last night I was walking around last night then I bumped into Red Son, it was raining so his fire wasn't working an he couldn't teleport away, so I let him stay here and then he had a panic attack before you came and may have harmed himself" Mk said in like 2 breathes. Wukong stared at him, "Interesting...has he harmed you?" the monkey king asked which the noodle boy shook his head.
"Have you asked him about Macaque?" Wukong asked because of course he asked about his lover dover. "Umm...yea he said he's been friends with Macaque for awhile and Macaque was in he-" Mk was cut off by Wukong grabbing him, "Macaque was in here?" The monkey king said, "Umm yea, he didn't do anything he said he came to check on Red Son" the noodle boy responded. Wukong stared at his student and let out a sigh, "How long is he going to be here?" The monkey said in defeat knowing changing MKs' is a losing game. Mk sat there for a moment, "I don't know maybe he'll leave tomorrow?" the noodle boy responded.
Wukong stared at him, "Did Macaque say....anything about me?" the mentor asked hesitantly. "Umm not that I remember?" Mk responded as he stroked his hand through Red Sons' hair. "Soooo....when I saw you earlier today was the person you like.....him?" Wukong asked pointing towards the fire demon. The noodle boy lit up with blush and nodded slightly, "Damn...." the monkey king said. "H-hey don't act like you don't like Macaque!" Mk shouted causing Red Son to move slightly. Wukong lit up with blush and his tail began wagging, "I-I do not" the mentor said defending himself making Mk stick out his tongue. "Well I gotta go....if he does anything to you I warned you" Wukong said before teleporting off.
Mk let out a sigh before turning his attention back to Red Son, he seemed so peaceful and tired of everything. Mk began thinking about when Red Son really was going to leave, he really didn't want the fire demon to leave and especially after he had a full on panic attack. Mk kissed Red Sons' head and held him close, he wasn't tired and was honestly just worried about Red Son so he stayed up till he eventually fell asleep.
It was the next day and Red Son woke up, it took him a moment to process everything and where he was but when he did he lit up with blush. He was sitting on MKs' lap wearing his clothes and it was embarrassing, but his mind went back to the events of last night and tensed up. Red Son despised the fact he allowed himself to be so weak...in front of his "enemy". The fire demon didn't even know if he could call Mk his enemy anymore, Mk was kinder to him than anyone else other than Macaque. Red Son nuzzled into the noodle boys' chest it was really comforting, "I should leave...." Red Son thought to himself. He wanted to leave so he didn't have to explain himself to Mk but he loved it here he loved how peaceful everything was....He loved Mk....
Red Son slipped off MKs' lap and took off the noodle boys' clothes which were given to him and wore his own clothes which were dry. "I should write a note..." The fire demon mumbled to himself. He rummaged through the drawers and found a paper and and pen. Red Son thought about what he might write and had a idea after many failed attempts:
Dear noodle boy Mk I am thankful for your help while I was struggling even though you didn't have to you did help me. I apologise about the clothes I may have gotten blood on. But my visit is short lived and I have to depart, I assure I am fine and did not get kidnapped or do anything and I did not take anything. Thank you again your help is much appreciated From Red Son ❤️
"Why on earth did I draw a heart...?" Red Son thought to himself before putting the note somewhere obvious. The fire demon opened the window looked back at Mk before letting out a sigh and jumping out he tied up his hair once outside while running before a flame engulfed him teleporting him into his room.
The fire demon let out a sigh and plopped onto his bed. "I missed you bed.." Red Son said to his bed as he hugged it. "Hey kid" Macaque said as he appeared from thin air. "Holy shit! Geez are you a stalker or something!? How the hell did you know I was here!" Red Son said as his hair lit on fire due to fear. Macaque let out a chuckle, "I just know you kid....now tell me....how much do you have a crush on Mk?" Macaque asked sitting down on the bed.
(Hope you enjoy! )

(With Vinny)
The cameraman had barely gotten any sleep last night, guilt was eating at him for snapping at Tenshi and his conversation with Rida just circled through his mind. What was he meant to do? He was really tired and he definitely wasn’t getting any sleep now, the sun was up.
Some people were awake, Nyssa was sadly still sleeping, but Tenshi was awake. Not like Vinny could approach him without something shitty happening. He groaned to himself and stared out the cell bars again, resting his forehead against them.
There was hardly any chance Tenshi would go along with the plan now. But there was a chance for tomorrow which was good…he could get Tenshi and Nyssa out if the plan actually worked.
He missed Garmadon…he should’ve told him all about this when it first started. He should’ve told someone, anyone! Sure Deity, Shancai and Willow knew, but that’s different…they’re aware of who Enji and Rida are. And now Wu and Jay knew, not his ideal choice of people but something at least.
“I’ll get back to you…” he whispered to himself as he stared out the bars. His eyes and body felt heavy as they began to droop, he can’t be falling asleep now. More and more people were starting to wake and falling asleep would be stupid.
“Fuck…” he muttered as he struggled to stay awake, exhaustion was catching up to him. Maybe…just a little rest.
As his eyes drooped shut and his breathing slowed while his body slowly went limp.
However this was short lived as he was jolted awake by a hand on his shoulder, he almost immediately grabbed the persons’ arm and threw them towards the ground, emitting a pained groan from them.
Vinnys’ eyes widened as he recognised the person, “Fuck! Nyssa, I am so sorry!” He immediately apologised as guilt crawled up his back and he immediately rushed to her and helped her up.
“It’s fine” Nyssa chuckled, “You’re on guard, I’ve done the same thing to a few people” she sighed as she eased his worries.
“A-are you sure?” The cameraman asked as he checked her for injuries.
“I’m fine I swear” Nyssa laughed as she patted his back, “Are you fine though? You look exhausted” she spoke bluntly.
“I’ve been better…” Vinny confessed as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
“Hungry?” She questioned, the cameraman shook his head once more. “You sure? You haven’t eaten since yesterday morning…” she spoke with concern as her expression softened.
“I don’t have much of an appetite at all in here…and I’d rather starve than eat that food again…” Vinny sighed out, he felt sick at the mere thought of eating. It was much like how he felt after Rushifa forced him to eat- He shuddered at the thought and looked at the ground.
“C’mon, don’t starve yourself just yet…you’ll eat eventually” Nyssa sighed out.
“How’s Tenshi?” The cameraman questioned.
“He’s fine I guess…moody but fine” She answered, “If he doesn’t go with the plan today we still have tomorrow and you can try whatever you want” Nyssa added.
“I know…fuck” he groaned, “I really shouldn’t have yelled at him” he whined.
“You’re aware” she chuckled as she patted his back comfortingly, “Was kinda funny though, I expected him to lash out but he seemed really surprised considering that you’re not really…intimidating”
“What’s that meant to mean?” Vinny asked.
“You can hardly fight and well some of the best fighters in here wouldn’t even dare as to glare at him in the wrong way” Nyssa explained, “So you lashing out was really unexpected”
“Guess that makes sense…” the cameraman sighed, as he watched her get up.
“I’ll see you later” she spoke as she waved, Vinny just nodded and watched her walk off.
Time went by quickly as he was quickly dropped from the sky back into his own singular cell. He groaned in pain and rubbed his back before sitting up. He really hoped he wasn’t fighting again.
Everything seemed to be going fine, he hasn’t fought yet but Tenshi has and he won by a landslide almost immediately killing his opponent.
“I can’t believe I yelled at that man…” Vinny spoke to himself before chuckling softly as he realised who he was dating, a former warlord. Why was he so scared of Tenshi then?
More people fought and just as Vinny thought he was going to fight today his gate opened. “Fuck” he immediately spoke out loud, his eyes darted to Nyssas’ cell. She was staring at him with worry.
“Please fight” she mouthed to him, Tenshi was watching too. Though less concerned as the previous day, but he looked grumpy. Vinny couldn’t blame him, 25 years trapped does that to a man.
The cameraman took a deep breath as he exited his cell, his was fighting that guy that worked with Tex, what was his name? Chris? Vinny had no fucking idea and nor gave a fuck either. He just wanted to survive.
He held his dagger tightly as he stared at the man. “The is gonna be fun” Chris laughed as he grabbed a spear off the ground.
The cameraman rolled his eyes, how was he meant to fight? Chris attacked first and tired punching him, Vinny managed to thankfully block it. Thanks to some training from Shancai. Wait. That was it! Just as Shancai said while they trained, he should think of the person he hated the most.
It wasn’t Enji anymore, but Rida. He had to think of Rida. Think of how badly he wanted to kill him.
Vinny slashed his knife against his opponents’ leg, emitting a cry of pain as he pushed Vinny away. “Little dog!” He hissed.
“Save it for someone who cares” the cameraman answered in annoyance, as he pushed Chris to the ground and held the knife against his throat, this was going better than expected. Probably because Chris hadn’t expected this.
Vinny was kneed in the abdomen as he winced in pain, the dagger falling from his hand as Chris tried throwing him off, only to have two hands wrapped around his throat.
He was in a bit of a delusional state, much like how Enji did an illusion last time, except Enji wasn’t here and Vinny was very much thinking of killing Rida.
Chris thrashed as he tried tearing the cameramans’ hands from his throat, the colour slowly draining from his face as he gasped for the air that was torn from his lungs.
Vinny hadn’t realised what he’d done until the body laid limp beneath him, face blue as his eyes hanged open. “H-holy fuck…” the cameraman whispered as he let go of the mans’ throat, there were marks around his neck.
“Shit shit shit…” the cameraman’s repeated as his hands trembled, he hadn’t meant to do this. Though his gaze darted to Nyssa and Tenshis’ cell. They both looked shocked yet somewhat proud.
“Go back to your cell…” Tenshi mouthed, Vinny reluctantly nodded as he grabbed his dagger off the ground and rushed back to his cell, ignoring the calls from the others in their own cells.
Why did he do that? He wasn’t a murderer. This shouldn’t have happened. Those thoughts rung threw his head as he entered his cell and immediately dropped to his knees. “Fuck…” he whimpered as he felt tears pricking in the corner of his eyes.
He was so tired. Mentally and physically. He wanted out. He wanted to go home. He missed it when he was in his apartment. Just him and Garmadon. One of the only good things that happened recently is him meeting Deity, Shancai and Willow. He couldn’t decide about Tenshi and Nyssa…
Time seemed to fly by as more people fought, Vinny paid hardly any attention. His mind somewhere else as the image of the dead body stayed in his mind.
“Fucking hell…” he sighed out as he brushed a hand through his hair exasperatedly. “How I wish that was you Rida…” he muttered to himself.
As nightfall drew closer Vinny fell through the ground and back into the larger cell with all the other people. He immediately felt someones’ gaze blaring a hole into his head. It wasn’t Nyssa or Tenshi, but Tex. Great.
The cameraman didn’t acknowledge him, but instead just slumped down near the cell bars as of yesterday. He liked it there. He could see the stars. It was comforting.
“Hey…” Nyssa spoke as she walked over and sat next to him.
“Hey…” the cameraman quietly responded.
“First kill always gets to people…” she confessed, “Chris was an asshole, he deserved it…”
“I know…” Vinny whispered as he looked away.
“Not hungry again?” She asked, he just nodded. “Sleep…you need it” she added as she watched him nod slightly before his eyes slowly drooped shut.
Nyssa had a comforting presence and he was able to sleep pretty well.

"I instructed you to go keep an eye on him...not to harm him again..." Rida spoke out, his voice sounded distorted and he was speaking fairly calm. "S-sorry..." Enji replied as he stood up straight, Rida looked down at Vinny who was on the floor slowly backing away from the two. The masked figure let out a sigh clearly noticing Vinnys' lack of sleep and puffy eyes from crying. "Don't do it again...unless I tell you..." Rida said as he looked back at Enji who nodded in response. Vinny looked up at Rida and holy shit was he tall he was like Garmadon, but just a bit shorter.
"What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck...!" Vinny screamed internally as he brought his knees to his chest. "Enji give me the blade..." Rida instructed which the black haired menace obeyed instantly giving him the blade he was harming Vinny with. Rida took the blade and crouched down in front of the shaken cameraman who tried to squirm away. "I won't harm you..." The masked figure spoke, his voice was oddly calming yet....unnerving...
Vinny was still tense but stopped trying to get away, "What do you two want with me...?" he asked his voice breaking slightly as he held back tears, he's had so much things happen in the span of less than a week he was tired and sick of this. "Nothing too much....but...you won't be telling us anything about it anytime soon..." Rida replied calmly as he placed the blade down in front of Vinny, that was the first time he had a clear view of the blade, it was made with a black crystal which had black spots to it through it and the handle was wrapped in what looked like leather. "It's quite a beautiful dagger, isn't it?" Rida asked breaking the silence.
Vinny hesitantly nodded, he didn't like how friendly Rida was being, it was unnerving and gave Vinny mixed feelings about how to feel about the guy. "It's made out of red obsidian" The masked figure spoke out as he reached out for Vinnys' hand. The cameraman flinched away when Rida attempted to grab his hand which was wrapped in a bandage, it was weird enough he just met the guy but the bird mask was quite intimidating.
Rida could tell Vinny was nervous and let out a sigh before taking off the mask. Enji was right about him having his face covered in scars, his hair was dark grey though what caught Vinnys' attention the most was his eyes, he had dark orange eyes. "My mask does tend to intimidate people...though so does my appearance" Rida spoke out. The cameraman looked at him before looking at the bird mask, "W-what bird is that?" he asked curiously, "Ah, it's a phoenix" The orange eyed figure spoke.
Enji was looking down at the two annoyed at the interaction, but he trusted Rida. Rida signalled for Vinny to give him his hand, the cameraman hesitated for a moment before giving it to him. The orange eyed figure picked up the blade and Vinny instantly froze, he was scared to move his hand knowing very well the two of them could kill him. Rida then carefully cut off the bandages and inspected the wounds, The orange eyed figure signalled for Enji to come sit next to him, he was hesitant but sat down, this made Vinny jump slightly he was much more scared of Enji at the moment.
"Fear and pain....are both powerful things...." Rida spoke out as he began cleaning the wound on the cameramans' hand. Enji and Vinny looked at him paying close attention, "Us humans tend to...use it against others....everyone fears something...anyone who says they don't is a fool and liar..." He continued, Vinny was really curious, he knew there was some truth behind those words. "People use pain...to force people into obeying, otherwise.....they'll get hurt" Rida added before squeezing Vinnys' hand tightly as he said the last part, this hurt Vinny and caused him to attempt to jerk his hand away.
"Tell someone what you fear....and it will be used against you and you will become nothing but a weapon and object to them" the orange eye figure added as he grabbed Vinnys' hand and began wrapping it with bandages. "We all fear something...so tell me...what do you fear?" Rida asked as his eyes glowed slightly. Vinny was uneasy, he didn't to answer him but he felt like he had to. "I can tell you are uneasy, I'll go first then you" Rida spoke out, Vinny hesitantly nodded.
"I fear...the ocean, being forgotten and loud noises..." Rida spoke calmly before looking over to Enji who seemed very curious as to why Rida was saying all this, Vinny was really curious about all this, he expected her to have fears but he didn't expect him to tell him. "Your turn..." Rida said calmly to Vinny, "I-I fear being trapped, being...left alone, being useless, h-hurting the one I l-love...l-losing the ones I l-love..." Vinnys' voiced broke slightly as he began thinking about Garmadon and how much he upset him.
Rida looked at him then at Enji, "You can go now..." Rida whispered to Enji who listened happily and left instantly. "Now then...that fight you got into with him was quite upsetting?" The orange eyed figure asked as he gently lifted up Vinnys' chin. The cameraman nodded, "I-I didn't mean t-to upset him, Enji s-said I can't tell anyone!" Vinny said as tears welled in his eyes. Rida nodded, "No one ever means to hurt the ones they love....and certainly not you, right?" Rida asked, Vinny nodded.
"Good...avoid them all..." Rida simply said, "W-what?" Vinny replied not knowing what he meant, "You need some space to breathe and think you also need to get some sleep because running on two hours of sleep isn't easy is it?" Rida responded quickly, "I-I....guess you're r-right..." Vinny responded, "Say...you have to go for work then just do what you want for the day" Rida added earning another nod from Vinny, "You both need some space from each other" The orange eyed figure spoke.
"Y-yea...you're right..." The cameraman responded as he looked at the ground, "Now then...this is yours then..." Rida said as he put the dagger in Vinnys' hand and closed it. "I'll see you some other time..." Rida said as he put the phoenix mask back on, "O-ok..." Vinny responded, he didn't know why but he trusted Rida so much he was much more tame and sane than Enji, why was Enji so obedient to him then. Rida nodded before standing up and disappeared into thin air.
Vinny looked at the blade and clenched it tightly, "O-okay...I do need some space from him...I'm just tired...never meant to upset him..." Vinny said to himself as he began thinking about Garmadon.

Hello again! Here's a doodle of these two ithaca brother. (Telemachus and Malachi my oc.) Malachi have pointy ears which are covered by his hair. I forgot to add his scars in his face cause I got lazy-
Yay Telemarket design! (??)
I like the trope of younger bro (tele) is taller than their older brother. (Malachi.)
Also sandal warning and Malachi being that Demonic protective brother, this is just a scenario I had listening to Little Wolf.
Bro's about to track down and murder Antinous with a le chancla. Antinous better run faster than Hermes cause Mal is gonna appear at him any minute.
Telemachus has the power of a pissed-off Malachi..
Bonus a drawing of Malachi fingers:
AAAAA TELEPHONE LOOKS SO CUTE I WANNA HUG HIM
Malachi is very creative with his threats and now I’m scared, Amphinomus is a lucky man.
