Vinny began to stir awake as sunlight hit his face, his surrroundings felt unfamiliar as he felt two arms wrapped around him, his eyes fluttered open as he looked up, Deity, she was awake and seemingly working on something as she held a scroll.
His expression softened, she didn’t take him back to his room? The cameraman wasn’t complaining that sleep felt good. Deity’s eyes flickered open in realisation as she saw Vinny awake, her expression softening as a comforting smile formed on her face. “Good morning dear” she spoke softly.
“Morning” Vinny answered drowsily as he sat up, Deity removing her arms from him. He stretched and rubs his eyes grumbling as he felt an itch in his cast. The cameramans’ attention flickered to the cloak wrapped around him…damn it was soft.
“Did you sleep well?” Deity questioned, snapping Vinny out of his thoughts as she set the scroll to the side.
“Uhh, yea yea…did you?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from her, there was an awkward silence for a minute, “You…you didn’t have to keep me here…you could’ve just taken me to my room…” Vinny spoke, bur breaking the silence.
“I could’ve…” Deity began, “But you seemed like you needed someone with you” she added, as she softly smiled as him.
“Thanks…it was nice” Vinny spoke to her, he was really grateful, he felt better considering yesterdays events.
“No problem dear…are you hungry?” Deity questioned, Vinnys’ stomach churned and his shoulders tensed, he really didn’t want to eat.
“Maybe later…” Vinny replied as his shoulders relaxed and he fixed his clothes.
“Ah right…” Deity sighed as she understood Vinnys’ reaction, “Are you planning on doing anything today?” She asked as she stood up and went over to a desk.
“Not really…I don’t want to do anything, and I kinda snapped at the others yesterday…” Vinny replied as he laid on the ground.
“If they knew what happened they can’t be mad” she spoke as she attempted to comfort him.
“What about you? You doing anything?” Vinny questioned as he stroked a hand through his hair.
“I still need to work out Rida’s plan and check some things” Deity answered as she looked at Vinny.
“You wouldn’t mind if I stayed with you today?” The cameraman asked.
“Not at all dear” She answered with a soft smile on her face. “You can ask me anything on your mind”
“Thanks…” Vinny sighed out as he stood up and took off the cloak, folded it and handed it to her.
“Was it comfy?” She questioned as she took the cloak, setting it to the side.
“Yea” Vinny answered as the thought of the soft cloak practically melted his mind, “So comfy…” he sighed out.
Deity chuckled softly as she settled down on a beanbag, signalling for Vinny to sit down, which he did.
“Quick question, why do you sit on the ground if there’s beanbags?” Vinny asked, as he tried to adjust as he sunk into the beanbag.
“I just prefer it…and it’s quite soft the ground” Deity answered.
“It is” Vinny chuckle, Deity was about to say something, but was caught off guard by soft knocking at the door.
“Come in” Deity called out, her voice still soft and soothing, the door opened and Shancai and Willow walked in, Vinny tensed ever so slightly. “Something wrong dears?” She asked, as she watched Willow wave while Shancai bowed, they seemed a little surprised to see Vinny.
“Nope” Willow spoke, “We just went to check on Vinny, but he wasn’t in his room, so we wanted to see if you knew where he was” she added as she gave Vinny a soft smile, this deepened Vinnys’ guilt as he sunk further into the beanbag.
“He’s been here since yesterday” Deity spoke comfortingly.
“Shanni also wants to talk to you” Willow spoke, Shancai looked confused as he looked at Willow then his mother, who looked curious.
“Uh right, a private matter” Shancai spoke up, Deity smiled and nodded and followed Shancai out of the room to have a quick talk.
“You okay?” Willow immediately asked Vinny as her mother and brother left the room.
“Y-yea…” The cameraman answered quietly, as he watched Willow come next to him and sit down on a large flower she just made.
“Yesterday was a bit eventful for you…” Willow spoke softly as she looked at Vinny, “Nya…told us what happened between you and Garmadon…” she confessed.
“S-she did?” The cameraman asked as he looked away.
“Yea…we had to convince her…” Willow replied, “The forest…don’t beat yourself up about it…Rushifa…she can control animals and people with her voice…” she sighed out.
“I’m still an idiot…” he grumbled, he didn’t want to think about that snake…he felt sick in his stomach again.
“Hey…” Willow spoke as she grabbed Vinnys’ hand, “I-I know…it tastes terrible…but trust me it’ll get better…” she whispered our, her voice breaking slightly, Vinnys’ eyes widened, did she know what he ate? Did she eat it before? That snake did mention a certain someone being forced to eat it…Willow and that snake did seem to hate each other.
“Did-did she ever make you-?” Vinny began to speak, but was cut off by a quick nod from Willow.
“I know you might not want to e-eat right now…but it’ll slowly kill you…she’ll win…” The nature elemental spoke out shakily.
“E-everything about her was disgusting…she just kept…touching me…” Vinny sighed out, as Wilows’ expression softened.
“That’s how she messes with you…she minds your weak points and destroys you from them…don’t give into the guilt and disgust you’re stronger than that I know you are…” Willow spoke comfortingly.
“I…I didn’t mean to yell yesterday…I was just-just scared…” Vinny confessed quietly.
“I know I know…her touch just lingers and so does that disgusting taste…” Willow spoke, her voice breaking once more.
“Does Shancai and Deity know…?” Vinny shakily asked.
“Yea…took me a while to tell them though…I locked myself away for weeks…but my mum coaxed me out…” she painfully chuckled out.
“That snake she mentioned feeding it to someone else…was that you? She said that someone didn’t get sick…” Vinny asked.
“Yea…the look of it, the smell…the-the taste…it’s something you’ll never forget, but all you can do is be better, don’t let the past swallow you up” Willow sighed before standing up and stretching.
“Are the…others alright?” Vinny asked.
“Yea…Garmadon was worried about you, you okay if i tell him you’re a little out of it?” She asked, receiving a soft nod from him. “I’ll see you later” Willow spoke as she went to the door.
“Y-yea…bye” he waved as he watched her leave, man he felt bad…Willow had to deal with the same thing…maybe he should open up completely to her…Vinny was snapped out of his thoughts as Deity walked back in.
(Bit late to upload a chapter, but why not…I also realised that two days ago was the one year anniversary for this fanfic I am so delayed! But yayyy we made it to one year!)

Deity gave Vinny a soft smile as she walked in, “Willow spoke to you?” She asked softly, receiving a nod.
“You didn’t tell me that snake did the same to her” The cameraman spoke, he seemed curious as to why, Deity sighed and sat down grabbing a bunch of scrolls.
“It wasn’t my place to tell you…I didn’t even know she knew Rushifa did that…but she must’ve realised by your reaction” Deity answered as she began reading through the scrolls.
“That…makes sense…it makes me feel a little better” Vinny sighed out as he stroked a hand through his hair, Deity nodded as she used some magic to open various scrolls around her.
“Feel free to ask me questions dear…I’m just trying to find out something” She spoke, attempting to reassure Vinny, he nodded in response as he tried to think of some questions. The room was quiet other than the soft breathing and occasional sound of the scrolls being flicked.
“Hey…uhh the mark on your cheek? Willow and Shancai are their own counterparts they finish it…did you have a sibling?” Vinny hesitantly spoke up, causing Deity to pause before letting out a shaky sigh.
“Yes…” she answered softly, “A twin brother…”
“Were you two…close?” Vinny questioned, clearly reluctant noticing her reaction.
“No…not at all, not like my children…we tolerated each other…till we didn’t…” Deity replied her voice dropping into a sadder tone.
“What…happened to him?” The cameraman shakily asked.
“He went…down a path…a bad path and we grew apart…” Deity confessed, it was clearly a touchy subject.
“Did he…do anything?” Vinny asked.
“He…did some stuff, some bad and some…rarely good…” Deity replied quietly as she looked at the ground, and stared at her hands.
“Do…Shancai and Willow know about him?” He asked.
“Not much…they’ve never been introduced…” she sighed, Vinny stayed quiet, silence filling the room. The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.
“Can you…tell me a little about the kingdom? It’s a nice place, I just don’t know much about it” The cameraman eventually spoke up, breaking the deafening silence.
“Of course dear, it’s quite a funny story actually…” Deity chuckled softly, her voice slightly pained.
“If there’s anything you don’t want to say, you don’t have to” Vinny spoke reassuringly as he smiled at her.
“Nonsense dear! Everything in this story is crucial” she chuckled before grabbing a blank piece of parchment and setting it down on the table, before the beanbag Vinny was sitting on was magically pulled towards the table, in front of Deity.
“Uhh…what’s this for?” The cameraman asked curiously as he stared at the blank parchment then Deity.
“Dear I know magic” She chuckled as she playfully rolled her eyes, “I’m not giving you a boring story” she added as she ruffled his hair.
“R-right” Vinny chuckled sheepishly as he flushed from embarrassment slightly, his eyes widened in surprise as he saw a really light pink mist form on the parchment paper, it began forming objects? And then human figures? It was really cool, watching was Deity moved her hands ever so slightly and more things would change.
“This story starts long ago…” she began as the pink mist began to change into a forest, “The kingdom wasn’t too keen on beings who wielded such powers, whether it be elementals or in my case magic” she began, as Vinny nodded watching the mist change.
“You weren’t…from the royal bloodline?” Vinny asked.
“No my dear…I was far from it” Deity chuckled.
“So your husband was?” He asked, receiving a soft nod, “If…the kingdom was against magic…how’d you two-?” Vinny cut himself as he made a gesture.
“You’ll see dear” She chuckled, “My husband’s father being king as well as a soldier made lies of those different…we were seen as beast not humans” she sighed out as the pink mist formed into a group of people out casting others.
“T-that’s-“ Vinny cut himself out, not wanting to finish his sentence.
“Me and my husband met in an interesting way” She spoke, as the mist formed into a building for what seemed like a bar, “I was trying to blend in with the crowd at a bar” She chuckled softly.
“Were you drunk?” Vinny hesitantly asked.
“A little..but he on the other hand was out of it” She laughed out, “He was an amazing singer…he was sang and after he finished he found me…he didn’t seem to recognise me as what was known as a beast…might have been the alcohol” Deity smiled to herself.
“That’s…really nice” Vinny smiled at her, as he saw the mist form into two figures, sitting at a counter talking.
“It was…we had a few drinks together…and you can guess what happened from there” She chuckled, receiving a soft nod and chuckled from Vinny. “That’s how we had our kids…” she added quietly.
“Oh s-shit wow…” The cameraman spoke out, without thinking, “Did he know?”
“No…” Deity confessed, “I left immediately…I hadn’t realised who he was the night before, but when I did…if I were seen with the prince…” Her voice trailed off as it grew sadder.
“When did he find out?” Vinny asked, he was quite curious about this.
“A few months after they were born…” She admitted, “I…his father- sent him to kill Shancai…he was seen as a threat, but no one knew the other side of their heritage…”
“What about Willow?” The cameraman asked.
“They didn’t know it was twins…my husband, he couldn’t kill Shancai…he just felt…so familiar with him” Deity sighed out.
“He just left Shancai there?” Vinny asked, as he receiving a nod.
“He…found me…asked me if the kids were min-ours…he hadn’t know who he slept with that one drunken night, but now he did” She sighed as she wiped her damp eyes, Vinnys’ eyes widened…Deitys’ tears…they glowed?
“How’d he…react?” The cameraman asked shakily.
“Amazing…” she smiled, “I’d never seen someone so happy…his father wasn’t as thrilled and well…tried killing me, but my husband got to it first” she chuckled.
“Wow…” Vinny spoke, “That’s a lot you went through…” he added, his voice tainted with sympathy,
“It was…but it was worth it” she chuckled, as the mist continued to follow the story.
“All started from a drunken night?” Vinny chuckled, as he tried to lighten the mood.
“Yea” she smiled, “You were right…getting all things off my chest is amazing” she added.
“Right?” Vinny laughed out, as he stretched.
“Any questions?” She smiled, the cameraman shook his head, and watched as Deity grabbed the scrolls again.
“What’s this thing you’re trying to find?” Vinny asked.
“If there’s a way to break a enchanted lock…the lock on the kingdom’s energy needed the hair and blood of me, my husband and our kids…but I haven’t seen my husband in years so getting those from him would be interesting” she admitted.
“That’s weird” Vinny spoke as he looked over at the scrolls, Deity nodded as she continued to go through scrolls.
(LORE DROPPPPPP also do you think I’m prioritising the ocs too much? I don’t want them to overshine Vinny, but it also need to add their own lore to give them personality, I’ll take any criticism I can get, I wanna be better for you all)

Shancai and Vinny both stared up at the ledge, their expressions souring as they heard and saw Enjis’ voice. “Looks like my two favourite people have met!” Enji laughed out as he sat down on the ledge swinging his legs.
“Are you here to fight or talk?” The prince hissed as he held onto his spear, standing in front of the cameraman’s protectively.
“We both know I would love to talk to you, sunshine…but you are sooooo mean to me dear” The black haired menace spoke with fake offence as he stood back up, his hand gripping onto his enchanted mirror shard. Vinny had no idea what was going on, Enji was acting a little different.
“Whatever you do stay close” The prince muttered to Vinny, receiving a nod, what else was he meant to do? He couldn’t protect himself and definitely couldn’t outrun Enji, but the cameraman was torn out of his thoughts as Enji used the enchanted mirror to teleport behind him and rests hand on his shoulder.
“How you doing buddy?” The black haired menace spoke with fake care as he smiled at the cameraman devilishly, Vinny let out a small yelp as he jumped slightly trying to pull from Enjis’ touch. Thankfully, Shancai knocked Enjis’ hand away with his spear. “Oh you wound me Shanni!” He spoke as he clutched his chest.
“Enough with your dramatics” The prince spoke as he rolled his eyes, Enji just smiled at him before teleporting away, but still in sight.
“Alright alright!” Enji laughed out demonically as he pulled out a bunch of small daggers, “We can have a conversation another time, right now…I wanna see how far you’re willing to go to protect my new friend” he added with a smile.
“Asshole…” Vinny grumbled, Enji referring to him as a, friend, made him sick. He knew he was being messed with, but he still hated Enji. Though seeing Enji was better than seeing Rushifa.
“I heard of Rushifa’s little act” The black haired menace spoke, causing Vinnys’ throat to go dry as his heart dropped. Enji threw a bunch of daggers, but the prince pulled Vinny under a market stall and pulled down the cover, which managed to block the daggers.
“Ignore him” Shancai spoke, “He’s messing with your emotions” he added, as he kept the market cover down, shielding them from Enjis’ sight and attacks.
“It’s a bit hard when I’m freezing and he knows exactly what upsets me” The cameraman answered, his voice slightly frustrated, he wasn’ frustrated at Shancai, but at Enji, he was so sick of him.
“You’re cold?” The prince asked, Vinny nodded, but was a bit surprised as to why Shancai focused on that.
“It’s no fun when you hide!” Enji called out as the sound of metal clanking was heard. The prince ignored him and grabbed a random cloth and wrapped it around Vinny like a cloak, he also grabbed this clasp that kept the makeshift cloak together, it seemed like it had a phoenix on it.
“Better?” Shancai asked, receiving another nod from the cameraman.
“Shanni!” Enji called out, “Seriously! You usually fight me! But now you’re not to protect him!? I’m kinda jealous~!” He added, with fake innocence as he scrapped a dagger against the metal polls.
“You see there?” Shancai spoke to Vinny as he pointed to a different side, the cameraman nodded, “I need you to run, while I keep him busy” the prince added.
“Are you crazy?” Vinny asked, “I’m not leaving you” he added worriedly, receiving a confused look from the prince.
“I can defend myself” Shancai spoke, before rolling his eyes as Enji made another dramatic comment.
“I-I know, but are you sure? What if he hurts you?” Vinny asked worriedly.
“I’ll be fine…if I get hit it’ll be nothing short of a bruise” The prince answered before peeking out from the market cover, throwing a spear towards Enji, while another one rejuvenated in his hand which his hit the ground three times, before the old spear exploded.
“Fine…” the cameraman sighed before at where he needed to run, Shancai gave him a reaffirming nod which Vinny let out a shaky breathe before bolting out of the cover, he just kept running and running, he could hear Enji cackling as he threw daggers.
The prince however lunged towards Enji, taking his attention off Vinny, “Hey sexy~” Enji spoke, his voice slightly shaky as he was pinned down by Shancai. As much as the cameraman wanted it be weirded out by how Enji was being, he couldn’t, he just had to keep running.
Shancai let out a shaky gasp as ‘Enji’ disappeared from in front of him, either a clone or he used the mirror. The prince immediately got up and ran towards Vinny. “Watch out!” Shancai shouted as Enji threw a dagger towards the cameraman.
Vinny flinched away, the dagger thankfully missing anything important, but he let out a pained cry as the dagger sliced his upper arm. Blood dripped down as he stared at the cut. “Don’t stop! Keep running I’m enjoying this game!” Enji laughed out as he played with a new dagger.
Vinny growled in annoyance, ignoring the very obvious blood that began staining his clothes. He began moving away only to have Enji jump up and get ready to kick him. Vinny noticed too late.
The cameramans’ eyes widened as he saw Enji, he shut his eyes expecting to get hit, but the impact never came, he hesitantly opened his eyes as he heard a soft groan. Shancai was in front of his, staring daggers into Enjis’ head. Vinny couldn’t help, but notice how surprised Enji looked, he didn’t seem to expect to hit Shancai.
“Shit! You okay!?” The cameraman asked worriedly once he recovered from the shock, as he went over to the princes’ side.
“Way to take the fun out of it princey…” Enji grumbled before he grabbed a pastry from one of the now abandoned stalls, before disappearing.
“Go fuck yourself asshole!” Vinny hissed out, just incase Enji was still there listening, he turned his attention back to Shancai. “That’s gotta hurt…”
“I’m fine” The prince spoke as he stood up straight, holding onto his spear tightly.
“Don’t give me that fucking bullshit” The cameraman hissed, in a more harsh tone that even surprised himself, Shancai seemed surprised being spoke to that way. “S-sorry…fuck you shouldn’t get hurt to protect me…” he sighed out shakily.
“We’re both hurt” Shancai spoke, as he stared at Vinnys’ bleeding arm.
“Right…” the cameraman sighed out as he rubbed his temples, the prince grabbed a small cloth and wrapped it around Vinnys’ wound to somewhat stop the bleeding. It hurt when Shancai tightened the cloth, the cameraman took a sharp breathe and winced slightly.
“We should go back to the palace…I can help bandage that” The prince spoke, receiving a defeated nod from Vinny as they began making their way to the palace.

Garmadon got up, "Thank you brother" he said as he stretched. "I'm always here to listen to you brother, try not to overthink about Vinny too much" Wu replied as his brother left. The oni walked around wondering what to do mainly due to the fact Vinny wanted some space. "Maybe I can find Lloyd" Garmadon thought as he began looking for his son.
(With Nya and Vinny) "Soooo..?" Nya said, "Sooo....?"a confused Vinny replied. The water ninja let out a sigh, "How was it?" Nya asked hearing this made Vinny blush as he remembered more about the events last night with Garmadon. "Well it was good..." the cameraman said embarrassingly to Nya making her burst out laughing. "Not gonna lie...I can see why he gets along with you though" the water ninja said, "Hmm? You can? And why is that?" Vinny asked as he took a sip of the chamomile tea she made for his lost voice.
"You're a really nice guy and from what I see you get along with everyone...hey I'm wondering how did any of your friends react to finding out Garmadon was your roommate?" Nya asked curiously as she scrolled through her phones texting Jay about their date tomorrow. "Friends? Oh no I honestly don't really hang out with people that I don't have someone I'm connected to" Vinny chuckled out, hearing this the water ninja stared at him, "That...is the most unbelievable thing I've heard how can you not have any friends?" Nya asked dumbfounded, "I-I never said I didn't have friends" the cameraman said trying to make himself not seem like a loner. "Do you have friends?" Nya asked, "Not really" Vinny said as realisation hit him, "Damn! I really am a loner!" the cameraman yelled out, "SHHH not yelling, you're gonna strain your voice more" Nya said "And you just made my point" she added.
Vinny smiled awkwardly, "But when some of the people at my work place found out they were weirded out and said...things..." Vinny said his voice becoming quieter. Hearing this made Nya feel really bad, "Well forget them! They don't know the first thing about you or Garmadon!" Nya said out trying to comfort Vinny. "And honestly when I was a kid me and my brother didn't have much friends most of the kids found it weird we didn't have parents, but...I'm happy now that I know they're safe and they left to protect us" Nya said, Vinny smiled, "Honestly I guess the closest I've had to a friend is Gayle and I barely get along with her" the cameraman said.
"So did they just find you weird when they found out Garmadon was living with you" Nya asked she was a little more hesitant with the questions not wanting to get into anything to personal. "Not really...most of them found me weird to begin with but when they found about Garmadon I guess it just proved them right" Vinny responded. "Hah! Well sucks to be them your boyfriend is now Garmadon, I bet if he found about them talking shit about you he would kill them, so don't you dare listen to them they're idiots you're anything but weird" Nya said, "Yea...I guess Garm would do that for me...but I haven't told him about any of this and I don't plan to, I don't want him thinking he's the reason I'm thought to be weird or anything he usually takes things the wrong way and thinks I'm angry or upset at him..." Vinny said as he drank more tea.
"Well then if you won't tell him you're always free to talk to me about any problems, I know what it's like to be thought to be different, when I first became a ninja everyone thought it was weird and that I was weird but I ignored them and kept pushing and just like you I got together with the love of my life, Jay." Nya said hearing this made the cameraman feel way better, "Yea I guess..." Vinny said, Nya let out a sigh, "Well that's enough sad talk how about I go get Garmadon for you, you look like you want him" the water ninja chuckled out earning a nod from Vinny.
Nya left the room leaving Vinny alone with his thoughts.

"Nah we can wait and plus I wanna see this" Kai said before taking another sip of his drink, Vinny gave him a thumbs up before gently grabbing Garmadons' hands and the controller. The oni was listening really well mainly because he trusted Vinny, "What is the purpose of this...video game?" The oni asked curiously, making Vinny chuckle softly, "It's fun" "And it's relaxing!" Kai and Cole both spoke out.
"That is like the worst explanation you two could have done" Vinny sighed out to the two ninjas. "What do you mean? It works with others" Kai replied smugly, "And who are these others?" Vinny asked knowing what answer he was going to get. Kai paused for a moment, "People?" The fire ninja said earning a exactly look from Vinny. "Okay okay sorry geez I get your point go ahead and explain it to him, clearly he understands you better" Kai said out in a defeated tone making Vinny giggle and Cole chuckle out.
Vinny looked at Garmadon, "Well everyone enjoys different things and have different preferences for enjoyment and relaxation or well to get away from responsibilities some do art, write stories, some like cleaning, playing sport and or like playing games like this, but they all bring some sense of enjoyment eventually, like finishing a drawing, a game, winning a sports tournament, a story, or finishing cleaning a mess that has been a pain to look at just like how I tell you about finally finishing a shift at work" Vinny explained as he gently held Garmadons' hands.
"Damn he's good" Cole whispered to Kai who nodded, the oni thought for a moment, "That...makes sense..." Garmadon responded earning a smile from Vinny. The cameraman looked back at Kai before sticking out his tongue, "I said I was sorry!" Kai responded in a childish tone. The two ninjas began playing their game again while Vinny continued to teach Garmadon how to play. Eventually he got the hang of it and they slowly began playing.
The group began having to do specific tasks like kill someone or kidnap them, "How come when I did this to people it was bad but it's fine in video games?" Garmadon said making Kai laugh out and Vinny let out a sigh, "The game isn't real living people and plus some people play these games to let out anger that doesn't harm living people" Vinny responded while Kai and Cole laughed quietly.
Eventually they had to kidnap someone surrounded by guards, "We need a plan to get to them?" Cole said as they looked at the character surrounded by guards, "Ambushing?" Garmadon suggested he really enjoyed the game Vinny was right it was sort of relaxing. "No, don't have that of weapons" Kai sighed out before looking at Vinny who was thinking really hard."Ambushing wouldn't work even if we had good weapons they have guns and we don't" Vinny said, earning a nod from everyone, they were all throwing out ideas while Vinny thought hard.
"We could kidnap the guards and then kill the person due to being defenceless but that could be a situation that is really risky it can escalate quickly..." Vinny said out, while everyone listened carefully. "I suggest we kidnap one of the guards and torturing them for information......If verbal torture doesn't work, electric shocks and bamboo torture is very effective....castration is painful too" Vinny said before looking back at the others.

(With Garmadon and the others)
They all just followed Willow, she occasionally brought down tree branches and ate fruit from them. Her was a white and silver like colour with black tips.
“The Ivory Kingdom has never been mentioned in any of my scrolls, it sounds a lot like Shintaro” Wu spoke, as he broke the deafening silence.
“Shintaro? I think I’ve heard that before…but the Ivory Kingdom’s is in it:s own secluded area, my mum’s said it’s been a secret place for years” Willow replied as she looked back at them.
“Your mother…she sounds like an important woman, and you said she could get us back, does she possess of any powers?” Garmadon questioned, he did seem quite curious about this place.
“She’s amazing! Power wise she does magic, and it’s where me and my brother got our eyes and the mark” Willow replied happily, she seemed to love her mother a lot.
“Magic? Dark magic?” Zane questioned.
“No silly! Normal magic, she doesn’t do anything bad unless it’s for a good reason” Willow laughed.
“What’s her and your brother’s name?” Pixal questioned.
“My brother’s Shancai while my mum is Deity” The nature elemental replied as they all continued walking.
Wu and Garmadon were exchanging thoughts through their expressions, still silently talking about the magic part.
A shiver ran down their back as they passed a darker area of the forest…vines blocking the entrance…dead shrubs and trees while a repulsive smell caused slight nausea. It was like night and day between the sides…the lush and lively side compared to the dark, and rotten side.
“What’s…there?” Wu hesitantly asked as he pointed to the area, Willow’s expression hardened as she stopped walking and stared into the dark side. Vines began to cover more of the entrance as she let out a shaky breathe. The change in her behaviour created uneasiness in the others.
“That…is where my enemy lives…” Willow eventually replied, her lively and friendly expression gone replaced with a cold, and fearful expression.
“Your enemy? What’s this enemy like?” Garmadon questioned.
“A snake…part anacondrai and hypnobrai…but she’s blind so can’t really use hypnotism” Willow confessed, her voice feigned with malice and annoyance for this snake.
The rest of the group looked surprised, anacondrai and hypnobrai…that’s a dangerous combo…”This snake…is there anything else important about her?” Zane spoke.
“She has the voice of a siren…listening to it is basically just as worse as a hypnobrai…” She grumbled, “Blind as a bat…her name’s Rushifa…”
“She sounds…interesting…” Pixal spoke.
“But don’t worry! All you have to do is stay out of that area and cover your ears if you here singing…she will eat you” Willow spoke a little awkwardly.
“She doesn’t come out from there?” Wu questioned.
“Not really…she stays in the forest that’s for sure, but there’s idiots so she gets a free meal…” Willow spoke before she began walking again, expecting the others to follow. The others did follow and quite quickly as well.
“I don’t know how I feel about this place…” Garmadon whispered to Wu.
“Me neither…on one hand it seems nice and then there’s places like that…” Wu responded.
“Let’s just hope the others landed somewhere safer than us…” the oni sighed as he thought about Vinny.
“Agreed…I’m sure Vinny’s safe, the others have taken quite a liking to him” Wu spoke in an attempt to comfort his brother. It was true though, the ninja really did like Vinny, who could blame them?
(With Vinny and the rest of the Ninja)
As Vinny trudged next to Shancai, occasionally looking back at the others, who were staring at him worriedly wanting to pull him away from the man, but didn’t. Shancai seemed like a strong person, one that they didn’t know the full potential of yet.
“I’ll have a look at your arm at the palace” Shancai spoke to Vinny, there was no emotion in it, he seemed good at remaining stoic. The cameraman just nodded, he seemed a little relieved to have his arm taken care of.
“Lloyd tell me you have a bad feeling about this guy…because if you had a bad feeling about Vania and not him then there’s something up with you” Cole shouted in a whispered.
“Geez okay, I really don’t like him…” Lloyd confessed quietly.
“He scares me…” Jay whispered.
“He looks…very unique…in a good way” Nya spoke, “But what does he want with Vinny?” She added.
“How are we meant to know? Vinny happens to have the worst luck ever…” Kai sighed, looking at the cameraman with sympathy.
“Which is sad cause he’s a great guy…” Cole chimed in, receiving nods from the others.
They continued walking down a path before entering two large gates…made out of an interesting stone. “Woah…” Vinny spoke quietly as he stared at the gates that towered over them.
A man looked over the gates, “You’re back early Shancai!” The man spoke from above as the gates began to open.
“There’s some people that need to see my mother” Shancai plainly replied as he walked through the gates followed by the others.
“Must be important if you decided to accompany them” Another man spoke from above the gates as well, Shancai just nodded before he continued walking.
They walked through an area which seemed to be the slums, young kids and elderly people waved towards Shancai, and he gave them a warm smile and nod, the only emotion he seemed to show so far.
“So he can show emotion…” Jay muttered, receiving a gentle hit on the head from Nya.
Vinny seemed surprised as they walked through most likely the markets, stalls upon stalls stood next to each other as people held out their merchandise while buyers attempted to bargain with the owners.
Everyone seemed to have some jewels with them, whether it be diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or rubies, everyone in the market seemed to have one…though there was something that was used to buy merchandise…is was a red gem…not quite a ruby. But it was a currency, and it seemed familiar reminding Vinny of the gems on Shancais’ spear.
The cameraman was a bit surprised as he bumped into Shancai’s arm which was in front of him, stopping him from walking. Vinny was going to question him before he saw a bunch of kids run by with what seemed to be a new kite.
“This place is amazing…” Cole spoke happily as he laid his eyes on a food stall, only then did he realise how fucking hungry he was, so did the others. Especially Vinny, he regretted skipping breakfast this morning.
“Once we get to the palace and inform my mother of your predicament, I’ll have some food prepared” Shancai spoke as he continued walking.
“A-are you sure? We couldn’t possibly, it’s nice enough you’re helping us” Lloyd spoke, as Cole, Jay and Kai glared at him, they really didn’t want Lloyd ruin their chances of food.
“It isn’t necessarily a problem” Shancai spoke, “I am unaware if my mother can even help you get back, though the palace would be open for you all to rest” he added.
“T-thanks…” They all spoke.
Shancai reached a palace…and hell was it pretty…large black tinted windows occasionally placed, multiple guards protecting the place and as they entered long hallways, with white and red curtains draped across the windows while the same colour palette for the carpets. Rooms upon rooms, as what seemed like servants chattered happily as they worked.
“This place is huge…” Kai spoke in amazement, his voice echoing in the halls.
Vinny was just as amazed and occasionally looked up at Shancai, he would sometimes receive a nod of acknowledgment before his eyes flicked back down to Vinnys’ arm.
“Does it hurt?” Shancai questioned Vinny as they walked.
“A little…only when I move it, I can’t really straighten it without pain…” The cameraman responded.
“Most likely a fracture then, keep it still just incase, if it snaps then it’ll be much worse” Shancai responded, receiving a nod from Vinny.
As they entered a room…a woman…sitting on the ground…scrolls thrown across the floor as she read over things. She was quite beautiful…floor long white hair that flowed down before fading away at the ends, black scleras and silver irises just like her son, she had the Yang sign on her right cheek, while she worse a robe with clouds and stars on the end of it as her hair covered her body.
“Mother…”Shancai spoke softly, affection and worry tainting his voice as he bowed down.

(With Sandy) Sandy woke up and stretched he looked towards the side of his bed expecting to see Mo there. It took him a moment but he realised his cat wasn't there quickly. "Mo!?" Sandy called out instantly going into a state of panic due to not having his precious kitten with him. The gentle giant began going through his boat house lifting up couches checking high and low for his cat.
Eventually after around 30minutes of searching he decided to go over to the noodle shop. "What's up with Mk?" Tang said to Pigsy inside the shop, "Don't know maybe h-" Pigsy was cut off by Sandy rushing into the shop. "Sandy! Geez trying to give us a heart attack" Tang shouted before slowly calming down. "I can't find Mo!" Sandy exclaimed his voice full of worry. "Wait what? Are you sur-" Pigsy asked before getting cut off again, "Yes I checked around the whole boat house!" Sandy replied knowing what the rest of the question would be.
Pigsy let out a sigh, "Maybe he just managed to escape and went somewhere?" He spoke out quickly not wanting to be interrupted again. "Where would he go?!" Sandy replied, "Sandy don't worry, Mo is a smart cat he's probably safe and is trying to get back here" Tang said in an attempt to comfort his worried friend. "Yea Tang is right he probably is sa-" Pigsy was cut off a third time by Mk rushing back in. "Sorry! Forgot a few orders....Sandy? Why are you here?" The noodle boy asked as he quickly noticed Sandy. "Mo is missing" The gentle giant replied sadly, "Wait actually?! I'll keep a look out for him while I'm delivering and when I'm done I'll go around" Mk replied making Sandy smile.
(Meanwhile with Red Son) The fire demon teleported into Megatroplis and had Mo on his shoulder. "You're one lucky cat..." Red Son said to Mo who meowed happily in response before nuzzling against Red Sons' cheek. "And you're cute..." The fire demon mumbled before putting on a hoodie and walking around. "The noodle shop was this way, right?" The fire demon asked the cat, Mo gave him an 'idk' look. "How can you not kn-...never mind I can't be mad at you.." Red Son said before continuing to walk.
"Well...here we are..." The fire demon said before looking through the window, "He should be gone by now..." he added noticing Mk in the window, from his time with him he quickly learnt what times Mk had work. Mo meowed happily once he saw Sandy in there. "There he is...you can go now..." Red Son said, Mo hissed in protest wanting the fire demon to take him in. "Really like being treated like royalty..." Red Son mumbled as he listened to Mo.
The fire demon hesitantly went in covering his face with the hoodie and looking at the ground. Mo suddenly relaxed in Red Sons' arms. "Oh hey a customer!" Mk said out noticing the person aka Red Son come in. "I-I'm not a customer...j-just came here to return someone I found..." Red Son responded before Mo jumped onto the ground. "Mo!" Sandy exclaimed happily.
Mo nuzzled against Sandy happily, the noodle boy looked at Red Son finding his voice sort of familiar. "Weird...so what's your name?" Pigsy asked, as he stared at Red Son clearly not knowing who it was, "I-I umm my name?" The fire demon responded clearly not expecting this. Pigsy nodded, "W-well" Red Son really didn't want to tell them his name and couldn't think of one on the spot. Mo suddenly climbed back onto Red Son and pulled back his hoodie. "Shit..." The fire demon mumbled.
"Red Son?!" The group exclaimed clearly not expecting this. "Maybe you're the one that kidnapped Mo!" Pigsy hissed angrily before he was ready to through and ladle at Red Son. "R-Red Son did you really?" Mk stuttered out, "No I didn't you noodle brains!" The fire demon responded as he tried leaving. Sandy looked pissed at the thought of someone kidnapping Mo, just as Pigsy was about to Mo stood in front of Red Son and hissed at the others.

Vinny gave Garmadon a small smile before plummeting his head back into the couch. “Vinny are you sure you’re feeling alright?”Garmadon asked again this time his voice have a hint of worry.
“I told I’m fine like I already told you just another long day, I mean I have to walk around with that camera all day so I’m just tired”Vinny replied a little bit bothered. “You should eat”Garmadon said.
Vinny turned onto his back and let out a sigh,”I guess you’re right”the smaller sat up and was about to get up when Garmadon pushed him back down.”Stay, I’ll bring it we can eat here”the larger said.Vinny was honestly surprised but wasn’t bothered to say anything.
Garmadon came back with two bowls of noodles, he gave one to Vinny and sat down next to him. “Thanks Garm, I appreciate this…”the mortal chuckled. “It as you said try to do things that’ll most likely be appreciated and liked”Garmadon replied.
The two continued eating and talking about their day,well at least Vinny, Garmadon doesn’t usually go out of the apartment alone.
“Vinny, may I ask why you are in a different mood today?”Garmadon asked, he could tell Vinny was acting different from the tone he was talking in to the his face expressions. None of this was normal this wasn’t a normal”I’m just tired”,it was something else,something was bothering him and Garmadon wanted to find out. Vinny looked at Garmadon for a moment like he was goning to say something, probably “I’m fine ,just tired”, but instead he looked away as if he knew Garmadon was going to keep asking, which he was. Garmadon moved closer to Vinny and hesitantly pulled him into a hug. This caused Vinnys’ eyes to widen as he would’ve never expected to receive a hug from Garmadon. He looked app at the larger to see him with dark purple blush across his cheeks.”I-Is he blushing because of this…”Vinny thought. The silence was awkward almost as if you could hear the crickets chirping. “Y-you can tell if anything’s bothering you I’ll listen and try my best to help……”Garmadon stuttered out in a small voice finally breaking the deafening silence.
Hearing his roommate, the Oni warlord, the lord of destruction, sound so small, fragile and genuinely worried about his well-being caused his face to light up with blush. He looked back up and Garmadon to see him looking the opposite direction. “G-Garm I know it seems like somethings wrong but it’s not everything’s fine, I’m fine”Vinny stuttered out as he sat up on Garmadons’ lap. “But that’s the thing!You’re not fine, you’re lying to me and I don’t know why!”the larger instantly exclaimed cupping the smaller’s face and not reacting to the change of seating. Vinny stared at the larger his eyes wide open. “D-do you really care that much about me…?”Vinny asked curiously and in an attempt to change the subject.”Don’t try changing the subject…”Garmadon growled before resting his head on Vinnys’ shoulder.
“G-god dammit, why does he have to be so hot..” Vinny thought his face bright red. “Answer me…”Garmadon spoke. “F-fuck!a-alright, you win…I’ll tell…”Vinny replied who could blame him, he breaks easily under pressure.
