Vinny let out a shaky sigh when two different gates opened, at least he wasn’t fighting just yet. He rubbed his head before sliding down the wall till he was sat.
He would never say it out loud, but he sort of missed Enji. Enji was more tolerable than Rida, Rushifa, Tex and those other two he worked with.
The cameraman wanted to hate Enji as much as he should, but he couldn’t. He met Shancai, Willow and Deity, because of Enji…how was he meant to purely hate the person who brought so many other kind people into his life. Is this what Shanni thought all the time? Unable to hate Enji. Either way it didn’t change the fact that Vinny wanted to stab Enji.
Vinny was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard metal clashing against each other, as he stared out the cell and into the arena. He didn’t recognise the people fighting and didn’t want to get to know them either. He had met way too many people over the past few days.
The cameraman was once again absorbed in his thoughts, he didn’t care much about the fights and didn’t want to witness them. He wanted to get out of here.What did Rida want with him? He wasn’t special by any means. No powers. No significant relatives.
He was living a normal life before Garmadon came and nothing really changed. Expect judgy looks. Vinny was dating a former warlord, he was also friends with the ninja. That’s all that was interesting about him. At the moment being friends with royals was a significant thing, but he couldn’t careless about their titles.
The cameraman was so distracted he hadn’t even noticed the fact that he took his dagger out and began fidgeting with it. He hated this place. He felt so suffocated here. He felt like he was drowning. Vinny wanted out and he wanted it now. He hated being trapped. He hated life at the moment. He hated everything. He hated-
Vinnys’ eyes widened as he heard a loud cry and the sound of something impaling. He whipped his his head around and stared out the cell. Ah right…battle to the death and it was ended just like that. The winner walked back to their cell while the loser remained lifeless on the ground as blood seeped from his wound.
“Who’s fighting now…?” The cameraman asked himself as he held onto the bars. He paid attention as another two gates opened, he was surprised to see Tenshi come out. Vinny wanted to see how Tenshi fought, how ruthless he was, so he paid close attention.
Vinny was surprised when Tenshi lunged forward grabbing the man by his hair and throwing him down to the ground. He watched Tenshi grab a spear off the ground, the opponent trembled as they backed away only to have a spear driven into the chest. Tenshi said nothing, acknowledged nothing, but instead just walked back to his cell.
“How the fuck did I survive more than 10 seconds…?” The cameraman spoke to himself, it was surprising how he managed to survive for a decent time against Tenshi. Vinny let out a whine when the gate to his cell opened, there was a high chance he died today. If not by someone else then he would kill himself.
The cameraman hesitantly exited the cell and watched as his opponent came out of the cell. A tall bulky man. Yep, he definitely needed a miracle like yesterday. Vinny looked around and noticed Nyssa staring out her cell at Vinny with worry. He also realised Tenshi’s cell was right next to her.
Before the cameraman could do anything else the man lunged at him, Vinny quickly scrambled away once more. Maybe if he ran around as much as yesterday he would just be sent back into the cell, no deaths. The cameraman was surprisingly fast, guess that’s what happened to someone when their life was on the line.
Vinny hadn’t even noticed that he was close to Nyssa and Tenshis’ cell till he heard a voice. “You need to kill him!” She called out as soon as Vinny was in hearing range. “Running around won’t do anything!”
“If I could kill him i wouldn’t be running!” The cameraman called out in response, he was breathing heavily. His opponent was all muscle no speed so that was somewhat good. Vinny ended up against the wall separating Nyssa and Tenshis’ cell, as his opponent held a knife to his throat.
“Just stab him!” Tenshi hissed as he watched Vinny squirm around trying to push the man away.
“Easier said than done!” The cameraman hissed as he felt two hands wrap around his throat. Oh great, now he was being choked. Would be great if he was into that shit, but he was not. Vinny desperately tied prying the mans’ hands off of him, but it was futile. That was until the man was pulled away by Tenshi and his head was slammed against the metal bars.
“Vinny I swear on my life if you don’t kill him I’ll kill you myself!” Tenshi hissed, though it was clear it was laced with concern.
“I’ll probably die of a heart attack before you manage to kill me!” The cameraman answered as he backed away from the man on the ground, who was rubbing his sore head.
“Just do it!” Nyssa spoke as she watched threw the bars.
“Fuck…” Vinny muttered to himself as he grabbed the dagger from his pocket and clutched it tightly. The man on the ground eventually got up and lunged forward once more, Vinny reacting quickly slashed the mans’ eye, most likely blinding him.
The cameraman backed away as he felt a punch to his guts, “Gonna feel that tomorrow…” He muttered to himself as he clutched his stomach in pain. The man picked up a wooden stake from the ground and lifted it. Before Vinny could react there was a sickening slice as an axe flew by, cleanly decapitating the man.
The cameraman held back a gag at the sight as he quickly looked away. Every time he saw a dead human he just thought of Rushifa, that sick bitch. Vinny looked towards where the axe came from. Nyssa…oh gods he almost died and he would’ve if he didn’t befriend her.
“Get the axe…” Nyssa sighed out, Vinny just nodded as he picked up the bloody axe, trying to delete the memory of a decapitated body from his mind. The cameraman handed the axe to Nyssa through the bars. “We’re gonna be here for a while, just go back to the cell”
“Y-yea…thanks” Vinny shakily spoke up, before silently walking back to his cell. He probably should’ve let the man kill him. He felt miserable. Life had decided to unleash hell onto him and here he was taking it pathetically.
When Vinny got back to the cell, he just dropped against the wall, let out a shaky sigh as he brought his knees to his chest and buried his face in his hands. That’s when the waterworks started. It was more so angry tears, he missed his friends, he missed Garmadon. He should’ve just admitted to everything that happened.
Garmadon was probably so worried right now, as if he wasn’t worrying already. Vinny let out a shaky sob as say there. He was gonna get out of here, one way or another.
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.
(nah bro I’m leaving your ass on a cliffhanger even though you probably know what’s gonna happen next)
(Hope you enjoy)
when Ninjago Dragons Rising season 2 comes out I swear if Vinny and Garmadon aren’t found with eachother I’m gonna kill everyone then myself cause I need it they can’t just have been roommates and then the merge happens and everyone goes missing cause like I need this to happen I love this little ship of them together
I might not be able to post new parts of my stories mainly because of family events I promise I’ll try
I’m really sorry I really love writing the stories but i barely have time for now I had to get away to write this
(So i was supposed to work on this earlier but was out for awhile and I don’t think I can upload a new part for my other story but I made time for this story as it is my main)(check out part 1-8 if you havent before reading this)
Garmadon went over to the library where his brother was. “Good you came, i wanted to ask a few more questions regarding you and Vinny”Wu said as he saw his brother walk in. When Garmadon heard this he blushed, “What do you mean..?”He asked trying to knock off the question. “You and Vinny have an interesting relationship and you act somewhat of how you acted around Misako”Wu replied smirking slightly. Garmadon stared at Wu, he hated these questions. The ice ninja and water ninja probably know the most. “I know what you’re suggesting brother and I assure you that there is nothing going on between the two of us”Garmadon replied acting oblivious to the question. We let out a sigh, “I am just saying if you feel like you can trust him and feel differently about him maybe try”Wu said, he really was oblivious the two were together the water ninja knew and she was correct about Wu catching on. “Is that all you called me here for” Garmadon asked. Wu shook his head and pulled out some scrolls. The two began talking.
With Vinny and Nya, after Garmadon left Vinny changed and went to find Nya. The two began talking and eventually Nya started asking questions. “Soooo…how long you two been together?”She asked this sudden question made Vinny blush, “L-like two days..”He replied embarrassingly. This answer surprised Nya, “Only 2 days?and you two are already all on each other”she laughed out. “How long have you liked him?”She asked, “W-well I think I started to notice it around 7months ago though I think a little before that”He replied, “How’d you confess?”Nya asked again. “Ehhh..he confessed though I’d rather not talk about that”Vinny replied which Nya nodded too not wanting to overwhelm him with uncomfortable questions. Nya wrapped an arm around Vinnys’ shoulder, “I’ll help you through this entire relationship”She said comfortingly. “I honestly never thought someone could be so accepting of someone being with Garmadon”Vinny chuckled out. Nya stared at him, “Well I think it’s nice you gave him another chance and I can tell he likes you a lot especially with how much he listened to you yesterday when he was training Lloyd”She replied happily. The two began talking for awhile as Garmadon was still busy with Wu and everyone else were doing something else.
A while later Garmadon found Vinny still hanging out with Nya. “Hey Garm!”Vinny said out happily making Garmadon blush. He didn’t respond but instead sat next to Vinny and pulled him onto his lap. At that point he didn’t care Nya already knew about this and she said she wasn’t going to tell anyone. “You two are honestly adorable”She said as she stared at Vinny who was blushing not expecting this to happen. “G-Garm is something wrong?”Vinny asked curiously. He didn’t respond but turned Vinnys’ head to face him before giving him a kiss making him blush even more. “G-Garm not with her watching..”Vinny mumbled out embarrassingly. “Aww no it’s fine this is adorable”She said before looking at her phone which just got a message. “The others are coming back you two might wanna stop being so touchy with each other especially if you wanna keep your cute relationship a secret”She added which made Vinny try moving out of Garmadons’ only to be kept down. “Garm…”Vinny said as Garmadon nuzzled his neck gently not enough to tickle him. Eventually soft purrs could be heard coming out of Garmadons’ mouth. “You never told me he could purr”Nya said she was honestly amazed at how calm Garmadon was, “I-I never knew he could…”Vinny said out embarrassingly his face was a bright red. Vinny eventually managed to squeeze out of Garmadons’ grasp earring complaints from Garmadon but stopped when the ninja finally came back.
“Wow sis never knew you would hang out with Vinny and Garmadon”Kai said out curiously “Who else was I meant to hang out with all of you were out”She replied "and honestly they’re both fun to hang out with especially once you get to know them” she added. “Whatever you say”Lloyd said out curiously before going to his room with Jay to read the new Starfarer comic. They all began talking about their days. And Cole brought up how close Vinny and Garmadon were which Nya said was just because Vinny gave Garmadon another chance after everything he’s done. Thankfully everyone believed it and the two felt relieved knowing someone could lie to the ninja for them
(Ehhhhh this chapter is shiiiiiiit sorry I was writing this on the train I wish I had more time that’s why I can’t upload for my other story I’ll try to upload two parts tomorrow though I hope you guys enjoy❤️❤️)
Beautiful
Once more for those in the back.
I just discovered that Lord Garmadon is shipped with a background character named Vinny and i just find it so funny-
Think about it,
We have the big bad evil guy who has destroyed ninjago city multiple times and the is literally the son of a GOD, shipped with a background character who is just some guy who works as a cameraman for a news station lol.
(might be a little spicy scene of kissing if uncomfortable skip i'll add a warning for that part also check out my new fanfic)
Surprisingly Vinny was the first one to wake up and he was surprised he usually wasn't the first one to wake up but it was usually Garmadon he got up and stretched before kissing his lovers forehead. "I should have a shower..." he thought to himself. Vinny went into the bathroom and turned on the water. It was a warm and comforting shower. ( i ain't describing another shower scene i've already described one today in a new book i made go check it out its lego monkie kid and it's Red Son x Mk)
Once Vinny finished he shut off the water and wrapped a towel around his waist before going into his room, "I'm sure I can change he won't wake up" Vinny thought to himself. Before starting to get dressed. "Mhmm..??Vinny?"Garmadon said out tiredly unaware of his lover who was naked. He stared at Vinny and the two made eye contact, "OH SHIT! Sorry sorry sorry!" Garmadon instantly said before shoving his face into a pillow. The oni was bright purple while Vinny was bright red and he quickly put his boxers and pants on. "G-Garm you can look now I'm wearing pants now" Vinny said out awkwardly.
Garmadon lifted his head from the pillow before looking at Vinny, he was still bright purple who could blame him he just saw his boyfriend naked. "S-sorry..."Garmadon stuttered out, "N-no it's my fault I shouldn't have gotten dressed in here" Vinny replied before moving closer towards his lover. "Garm? Is something wrong you seem a little purple there" Vinny asked before cupping his lovers face. "Mhm y-yea I just didn't expect you to have such a build" Garmadon replied causing Vinny to blush before he smiled at his lover before moving closer to him and kissing him.
(spoicy sceneeee) Garmadon kissed back before bringing Vinny in closer and deepening the kiss, the oni leaned back and pulled Vinny onto his lap and continued to kiss each other Vinny let out small little whimpers and he was still shirtless which Garmadon began caressing his muscles. The larger slid his one of his hands to the smallers' hair before tugging back on it gently earning a soft little gentle moan also causing him to open his mouth which gave Garmadon the perfect opportunity to slide his tongue into his mouth and began fighting for dominance it was pretty sure who would remain dominant and Garmadon pulled away and smirked, "You taste delicious my love~" the oni said out in a seductive way. Hearing this made Vinny look away embarrassingly but his cheeks were grabbed and he was the pinned onto the bed. "Keep your eyes on me~" He told Vinny, Garmadon began kissing down his lovers neck leaving hickeys all over and deep bite marks, "G-Garm~ A-ah~ Gentler..~" Vinny moaned out which the larger obviously listened to not wanting to hurt the smaller. "You look so beautiful like this~" The larger said earning a soft pant from the smaller. (End of za soicy scene)
Garmadon sat up, "You okay?" He asked the smaller, Vinny stared at him, "Yea totally ask if I wasn't just covered in hickeys by my boyfriend who was formerly Ninjagos' greatest villain" Vinny said out in a sarcastic tone before sitting up. Garmadon let out a joyed laugh he probably would've never understood sarcastic jokes before but now he did. Vinny stared at him with a happy smile on his face, "You should laugh more" the smaller told his lover before gently bringing his hand to his cheek making him look at him. Garmadon blushed before looking away embarrassingly and rested his hands on top of Vinnys' hand, "I should?" The oni asked, "Yea you should don't be afraid to show your emotions sweetheart you deserve to show your feelings and emotions you also look beautiful when you laugh or smile" Vinny replied to his lover causing him to turn a brighter purple, "Thank you...I love you so much..."Garmadon said happily. "I love you too my sweet little lion" Vinny added before pressing theirs heads together.

(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.
(Had this in my draft for 50 fucking years because I kept thinking it wasn’t good enough but now I don’t care and just gonna upload it)

(With Garmadon and the others)
As they walked and walked they eventually followed the nice pathway, “How far is it?” Pixal questioned.
“Just down this path, then we’re in the palace gardens” Willow replied happily as she walked down, vines that protected pathway were retreated by Willow as she kept walking.
As the pathway came to an end they found themselves in an large open area, bushes nicely trimmed into stars, roses, violets and all types of flowers were bloomed around.
Their attention was stolen from the garden as a staircase led up to presumably the entrance to the palace. “Is this the kingdom?” Wu asked, receiving a nod from Willow as he went up the staircase followed by the others.
“Fascinating” Zane spoke as he stared at the interior, they continued to walk, but stopped when they saw a wall, with colourful glass mosaic art, Willow realised they stopped and looked back at them.
“Something wrong?” She questioned.
“Who’s in this?” Wu asked.
“That’s my mum, me and my brother…it’s old” Willow replied, as a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the mosaic. It was a woman holding two babies.
“It’s nice” Garmadon spoke as he looked at it, before they began walking again.
“It is” Willow replied, joy tainting her voice as she went down a hallway.
She entered a room and was a bit surprised when she saw her mother and brother with a bunch of other people in the room. “Are these your friends?” Willow asked, receiving nods from Zane and Wu. The ninja let out a sigh of relief as they saw Wu and the others enter.
They all bunched together Vinny stayed next to Shancai, “Introductions would be nice, I’ll start I’m Willow” Willow spoke.
“Oh right! I’m Lloyd that’s Kai, Jay, Nya, Cole, and Vinny” Lloyd spoke to Willow as he pointed to each of them, before turning to Shancai. “That’s Garmadon, my dad, Master Wu, my uncle and Zane and Pixal” he added, receiving a nod.
“This is Shancai, my brother I was telling you about” Willow spoke to Wu and the others she was with, they nodded as they studied Shancai’s unique appearance before Garmadons’ eyes landed on Vinnys’ arm and his eyes widened.
“And this is our mother” the nature elemental spoke happily as she pointed to her mother on the ground who gave them a soft smile.
“What happened to his arm?” Garmadon questioned Lloyd quietly, discreetly pointing to Vinnys’ arm.
“We fell out from the sky” Lloyd replied bluntly, receiving a worried look from his father. “It isn’t bothering that much, he might’ve fractured it” he added, receiving a nod and sigh from the oni.
“An explanation would be nice…” Deity spoke, her voice soft and sweet like honey as she stood up from the ground, the scrolls scattered around immediately rolling up and being placed neatly on a shelf.
Their jaws dropped…she was tall…taller than Riad taller than fucking Garmadon. She would be shorter than Garmadon with 4 arms though, but she was still tall…everyone was surprised other than Willow and Shancai, seemingly used to their mothers’ height.
“You’re tall…” Jay spoke bluntly, causing Deity to chuckle slightly. No one could really protest with his statement. She was at least 6’8 to 7’0.
“I get that quite a lot” Deity spoke softly before she settled down on a large flower, Willow formed behind her. “Now then…what can I do for you?” She questioned.
“I-uhh right…” Lloyd spoke as he stuttered out a bunch o incoherent words, trying to recover from this.
“They need help getting back home” Shancai spoke, Lloyd just nodded a little relieved he didn’t have to handle the embarrassment of stuttering more.
“Where is this home?” Deity questioned.
“Ninjago, you’re highness” Nya spoke, she didn’t know what to call Deity, she was the empress after all.
“Please call me Deity dears…Ninjago you say…I’ve been there before, though at the moment my magic ability is a little limited at the moment, I can get you home just not yet” Deity spoke.
“We don’t wish to strain your abilities” Wu spoke, receiving a soft smile from Deity.
“It might take me a week or so” Deity spoke.
“That’s alright, we’re just thankful for your aid” Wu spoke, his voice relieved they were able to get back home.
“In your time being here, you’ll be treated as guests, any questions you have, you are free to ask” Deity spoke.
“W-we wouldn’t want to intrude” Vinny spoke up, receiving a sigh from Shancai.
“Not necessarily intruding anymore, if you’re considered guests” Shancai spoke.
“Well then it’s settled, Shancai and Willow can show you to your rooms, and if you’re hungry you may ask anyone here, they’ll assist you” Deity spoke.
The group thanked her and they were sent off with the siblings to be taken to their rooms. Vinny was practically stuck to Shancais’ side, there was something comforting about him. Sure he looked cold and intimidating, but he seemed to know about Enji and Rida and despised them.
“Soooo, is Shancai older?” Kai asked.
“Hah! Nope, we’re twins and I’m a minute older!” Willow boasted smugly, Shancai rolled his eyes.
“Older than me, but still act like a child” Shancai spoke, it was clear who was more mature.
“If you’re mother’s that tall why aren’t you?” Jay asked Willow.
“I-I’m not that short!” Willow defended herself, as her face flushed in embarrassment.
“Yes you are” Shancai muttered as he kept walking, Willow just pouted.
One by one, they were given rooms, now it was just Vinny and Garmadon that needed one.
“You okay…?” Garmadon asked Vinny.
“Yea…” the cameraman replied, Willow and Shancai let the two walk as they went ahead.
“There’s something going on between them” Willow whispered to Shancai.
“They’re just talking?” Shancai spoke with confusion.
“My love meter is tingling, they’re definitely dating” the nature elemental spoke once more, causing her brother to sigh.
Garmadon and Vinny asked each other a bunch of questions, making sure they were safe and unharmed.
“Do you two want to share a room?” Willow eventually asked the two, causing Shancai to rub his temples in annoyance.
“N-no thanks…” Vinny spoke as he looked away awkwardly.
“We’d prefer to be separated” Garmadon added, receiving a nod from the two siblings.
Eventually Garmadon was given a room, “I’m staying for the night, the Grove can last one night without me” Willow spoke.
“Mother would be happy to hear that” Shancai spoke, “Now then, I would like a truthful answer from you” he added as he looked a Vinny, the cameraman took a sharp breathe.
“Did I miss something?” Willow asked with confusion.
“He has Enjis’ dagger for some reason” Shancai replied plainly.
“Really? How’d you get that buddy?” Willow asked worriedly.
“I won’t inform your friends, but I could recognise that dagger in a row of a thousand copies” Shancai spoke.
“Geez, bragging much” Willow spoke, “But really bud, how’d you get it?” She asked, Vinny was really nervous.
“We’re not working with them, quite the opposite” Shancai spoke, causing the cameraman to look at him curiously.
“Enji and Rida are the kingdoms number 1 enemies…more specifically Enji, he attacks most, Rida plans” Willow sighed, and Shancai nodded to confirm it.
“Listen…whatever they want with clearly will affect the kingdom in some way…we just need you to tell us anything they do” Shancai spoke, as he put a comforting hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.
“I…they both showed up one night…Rida was messing with my dreams, I went to the bathroom and Enji, he used some illusions to transform into me and haunt me in the mirror, one time he stabbed my hand and foot and he keeps threatening on hurting my friends” Vinny confessed, slightly hysterical.
“They play mind games on you…have they done anything else?” Shancai asked, Willow had a worried expression.
“Y-yea…yesterday, Enji went on a mission, he got some chest from there, though Lloyd and the others got a key from there…” Vinny replied, “And well…he came to me at night and made me get the key for him…” He added, guilt in his voice.
“A chest? I can ask mum if she knows anything about that” Willow spoke.
“Strange…those two have never involved themselves with others unless they didn’t have a plan…Enji would, but not Rida, he’s too cautious” Shancai spoke.
“That day as well, I went out and stayed alone, Rida hanged out with me saying how Enji was getting something that was rightfully his…” Vinny added.
“Wow, this is weird…they definitely are planning something…” Willow sighed receiving a nod from her brother.
“Enjoy stabbed you with the dagger?” Shancai questioned.
“Yea, then another time he was about to hurt me again, but Rida came, he helped me bandage my hand then gave me the dagger” Vinny replied.
“Willow, go tell mother…” Shancai spoke, Willow nodded and ran off, “If there’s anything else I should know then tell me” he added as he looked at Vinny bending his knees to be closer to Vinnys’ height.
“I-I will…I swear…” The cameraman replied, his voice breaking.
Shancai opened a bedroom door for Vinny letting him look in it, his voice hitched as he looked at the mirror, “He can’t get in through the mirrors, I made sure of it” Shancai spoke, causing Vinny to let out a breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.
“My room’s next to yours and Willow’s next to mine…if anything happens come to us or my mother” the prince spoke, Vinny just nodded and watched Shancai walk away.
The cameraman sighed and went in the room, closing the door behind him before dropping on the bed.
Was he meant to trust these people…?

Morning came quickly as Vinny was once again awoken by the blinding sun, it took him a minute to realise that Nyssa was still next to him, awake as well.
“Morning…” the cameraman yawned as he stretched.
“Mornin’ sleepy head, sleep well?” She asked as she stared out the bars.
“Yea…” Vinny answered, “Best sleep I had in a while, strange though considering I killed someone yesterday”
“Exhaustion caught up to you I guess” Nyssa chuckled, “Also you’re gonna eat, I don’t care what to you, you haven’t eaten in a while”
“Alright” the cameraman sighed out, he was too tired to protest and watched her get up and go to find some food.
As Vinny looked around the cell, he saw Tenshi in the same spot as al, the others day. He really like that spot. Though the cameraman looked away, he didn’t want Tenshi think he was prying.
Once again Vinny found himself staring out at the arena. The plan had to work. If it didn’t work…well, let’s say he would have no idea of how to escape and they would all die. He was drawn out of his thoughts by Nyssa coming back and sitting back down next to him while handing him a bowl.
“Tenshi’s in a mood” she spoke up, “but whatever plan you have must be good, right?”
“Yea…if I’m right it should take us out of this place” the cameraman answered as he stared at the bowl of ‘food’.
“Well, I don’t have much hope for it” Nyssa laughed, “but it’s our only option and I trust you, anyone who has the guts to yell at grandpa over there” she added as he pointed at Tenshi.
“Thanks…” Vinny sighed out as he reluctantly ate, just as bad as he remembered.
“So it’s gonna be groups of three, the three people you’re closest too when were sent to those other cells” Nyssa said, “Like it or not, but we’re gonna have to sit with Tenshi for a while”
“It’s fine, all I can hope is that he won’t kill me” The cameraman chuckled half-heartedly as he anxiously brushed a hand through his hair.
“He won’t, like I said, he’s just a grumpy old man” Nyssa laughed as she put a hand on his back. “Up you get, it’s best we sit close to him now” she added as she standing up.
“Alright…” Vinny sighed out as he stood up and followed her.
“Don’t kill him” Nyssa spoke to Tenshi as she slumped down against the wall, the cameraman sitting next to her, trying to avoid being near Tenshi.
“Don’t have a reason to” Tenshi muttered under his breath as he very obviously rolled his eyes.
“C’mon! Have some faith in him” Nyssa said as she gently elbowed him, “It’s worth a shot either way, you’ve been here for 25 years! Anything’s worth a shot”
Vinny smiled softly, he enjoyed having someone here believe in him. Nyssa had the welcoming energy Willow, and the love of Deity with wits of Shancai.
Tenshi was only much like Shancai, quiet, brave and strong, emotions well hidden. It wasn’t something that Vinny minded, sure Tenshi was on the grumpy side, but 25 years trapped in this hellhole? He couldn’t blame Tenshi at all.
“Keep eating” Tenshi just grumbled to Nyssa, who just laughed and kept eating.
“Honestly best out come for this is that we fight near the end” Nyssa spoke up, Tenshi nodded while the cameraman looked at them with curiosity.
“Beginning is when the more entertaining ones fight, near the end is the weaker ones” Tenshi explained.
“I don’t think we’re gonna go near the end” Vinny confessed.
“Why’s that?” Nyssa asked.
“Have you seen us? We have a man who’s been here for 25 years” the cameraman explained.
“He’s right, but if your plan works and it better work then it won’t be much of a problem” Tenshi spoke up as he glared at Vinny.
“Then we’ll just have to hope his plan works” Nyssa said with a smile as she tried comforting the cameraman.
The two just nodded as they sat in silence for a few minutes, the tension was thick yet no one wanted to break. No one knew what to say.
“Let’s say we do escape…” Nyssa began, her voice soft as she rested her head against the wall, “What are we gonna do?”
Silence. Before it was broken once more.
“Find my wife and kids…” Tenshi whispered as he caught both of their attention.
“That’s sweet…I never knew you were married…” Nyssa chuckled, “You?” She asked Vinny.
“I…” the cameraman spoke, his voice quiet. He didn’t really know what to do. He wanted to find his friends, he wanted to find Garmadon. But then what? Rida was still gonna go after him. Rida wanted something from him, but what?
“You okay?” Nyssa asked, it was obvious Vinny had a lot on his mind.
“Y-yea sorry…” the cameraman answered, “I need to get back to my friends and deal with something when I’m out of here”
“What about you?” Tenshi asked Nyssa.
“Me? I don’t have much planned” she answered though it was vague.
“Family or friends?” The cameraman questioned.
“None that would particularly care, as for family there’s none” Nyssa awkwardly confessed as she rubbed the back of her neck.
“Oh” Tenshi and Vinny said in unison, it was as if they were hit by a truck.
“Well! You can stay with us, right Tenshi?” Vinny asked, he was more than welcome with Nyssa staying with him.
“I mean…sure?” Tenshi answered awkwardly.
“You don’t have to do that…” Nyssa said as she smiled softly.
“Oh please! Yes I do, so you’re staying with me when we do get out” the cameraman reassured her.
“Thanks…” Nyssa sighed out, this was nice.
The three sat there for a while before they were dropped in a cell. “Great” Vinny sighed out as he fell on the ground, he was never gone get used to that.
“Well whatever you have planned better not get us killed” Tenshi said as he got up and stared out of the cell, two different cells opened as 6 people were released.
“At least we’re not fighting first” Nyssa spoke as she tried lightening the mood.
“I guess…” the cameraman answered as he stared out the cell too, his hand reaching for his dagger in his pocket.
“Don’t fight, whatever you have to do, do it while we distract them” Nysaa spoke as she pulled Vinnys’ hand away from his pocket.
“She’s right, if you’re right with your plan it’s best you do it while we make sure you survive” Tenshi added.
“Alright…” the cameraman sighed out, protesting against them was useless and well it’s not like he wanted to piss Tenshi off more.
Slowly but surely, their gate opened. Vinny was nervous. And so was Nyssa. Tenshis’ expression was unreadable as they walked out, his hand holding onto the axe.
They were going against Tex and 2 other people, Vinny couldn’t remember anyone else and didn’t want to.
Quickly they started fighting, Vinny dodged attacks the best he could, but it was tough. One person had an arrow and was constantly shooting while the other two were close combat.
But Tenshi held them off well and it was impressive. Fighting alongside him was when Vinny could really appreciate his strength.
Nyssa was good too, defending herself with ease. Though the cameraman turned his attention, trying to find the mirror shard on the ground.
“What’s up?” Nyssa questioned as she came closer to Vinny, she was curious if he was trying to do whatever he was planning.
“Trying to find something…” the cameraman answered as Nyssa continued defending herself.
“Take as long as you need!” Tenshi hissed as he tightened his grip on the axe before swinging it, a sickening shriek as a hand fell to the ground.
Vinny ignored it the best he could as he continued scanning the area, thought he sound of grunting and weapons clashing against each other was quite distracting. His eyes caught on a shine, across the whole arena, perfect…right past the enemies.
“Nyssa!” The cameraman called out, she snapped her head towards him. “I need you to cover me!”
“Where to?” She questioned, Vinny pointed the way and she just nodded.
“Tenshi! Help me cover him!” She called out, a nod from him as well as he came closer.
“Be quick” Tenshi said to Vinny.
“I’ll try!” Vinny awkwardly chuckled as he ran out, arrows flew by, but they were knocked away by Nyssa while people were kept away from Vinny.
The cameraman ran, faster than ever. He ignored everything around him and just fixated on the stupid piece of mirror that could be his way out of here.
As an arrow almost hit him, he lunged forward towards the ground, dodging it and grabbing the shard off the ground. He took a deep breath. He wasn’t dead, yay.
Staring at the shard, he got back up and stared at Nyssa and Tenshi who were looking at him with curiosity. Vinny ran to them again, trying his best and managed to dodge attacks again.
“Vinny what-?” Nyssa was cut off by her arm and Tenshis’ arm being grabbed by Vinny as he ran dragging them along.
“Just run around, I need to fix this!” The cameraman answered as he stared at the mirror shard, reluctantly the two listened following him and still managed to fight back.
Best thing would be if they were taken to the monastery, Ivory Kingdom or his apartment. Any would be good. He didn’t mind going anywhere. He just wanted out of here.
“Hold onto me!” Vinny said, the two listened and grabbed Vinnys’ arm as he threw the mirror shard in the air, he was just copying what Enji always did.
The mirror shard came back down, instead of hitting them in the head, they were instead engulfed by it and dropped into a house. The three laid on their backs as they just blinked, the mirror shard on their ground.
Slowly, but surely Vinny sat up and looked around. He was at his apartment. “Yes! Fuck yes!” The cameraman shouted as he got off the ground and slumped down on the couch.
Nyssa and Tenshi laid on the ground for a while before Nyssa got up first. “Where…are we?” She asked, cautiously as she looked around.
“My apartment! And I told you it would work!” The cameraman answered happily, he had never been so relieved before.
“So we’re…free?” She questioned, Vinny nodded and pulled her down to sit on the couch. “Wow…” she whispered as she looked at the roof.
“You ok?” Vinny asked her.
“Y-yea…I don’t know to process this!” She chuckled.
“What about you?” The cameraman asked Tenshi, who was still laid on his back on the ground, staring at the ceiling.
“I don’t know…” Tenshi whispered.
“C’mon! Get up, this couch is soft!” Nyssa laughed out as she pulled Tenshi up and onto the couch.
“I’m not as dumb as I look” Vinny chuckled to the two.
“Clearly!” Nyssa laughed as she ruffled his hair, thought Wh two were distracted by Tenshi standing up and going out to the balcony. It was midday, the sun was gonna set soon.
Nyssa and Vinny exchanged looks, they hadn’t been stuck in that hellhole for as long as Tenshi…they couldn’t possibly imagine what he was feeling…
The two stood up and stood on both sides of Tenshi, wind hitting against their faces. It was the best feeling.
“I told you I would get us out, I meant it…you’ve been trapped there long enough…” Vinny said softly as he tried comforting Tenshi. “You were right to doubt me though, it was a stupid plan…”
“A stupid plan indeed! But it worked and we’re free!” Nyssa sighed out.
“Pinch me…” Tenshi spoke up, the two looked confused, before Nyssa pinched him.
“It’s not a dream…we’re free” Nysaa said softly.
“Yea, and none of us will ever get stuck b-“ Vinny was cut off by two arms wrapping around him and hugging him.
“Thank you…” Tenshi whispered as he hugged the cameraman tightly.
Vinny stood there for a moment before returning the hug, “No problem…” he whispered.
“I want a hug” Nyssa spoke, the two laughed and hugged her two.
“What now?” Nyssa asked as she smiled at them.
“Right now? We’re all gonna shower and then eat” the cameraman answered, Tenshi laughed out.
“I suppose we all are due for a good shower” he sighed out.
“I think I can find some spare clothes for you two, just for the timing being in case you want to wear your old ones, I’ll wash them” Vinny said, receiving a nod from Nysaa.
“I don’t have much clothes either way, these are long over due to be thrown out” Tenshi sighed out.
“You wanna cut your hair?” Vinny asked him.
“A brush is fine, I’m better off detangling it” Tenshi answered.
“How so?” Nyssa laughed, as they followed Vinny who went back inside the apartment.
“Wouldn’t you like to know” Tenshi answered.
“You two decide who’s showering first, I have things I need to do” the cameraman spoke up as he sat on the chair near the kitchen bench.
Tenshi and Nyssa decided that she would go first, she’d be finished quicker.
Vinny had a lot on his mind, Rida was bothering him. “Calm down kid, you need a break…you got us out of that place” Tenshi spoke up as he sat next to him.
“I know…but Rida won’t leave us alone right?” The cameraman answered.
“Yea…” Tenshi sighed out, “But, that can be a tomorrow problem, I shouldn’t have doubted you…”
“It’s not your fault, it was a stupid thing” Vinny sighed, “Some random person shows up and says he has a plan to get out of here, that sounds stupid”
“I guess it does” Tenshi chuckled, “But thanks…it’s nice you got Nyssa out of there, she’s young…doesn’t deserve to rot in there like me…”
“She’s nice, and you didn’t deserve to stay in that place either…” Vinny said as he smiled softly, Tenshi just hummed in response. “Go sleep on the couch if you want, I’ll wake you up when she finishes”
“Alright” Tenshi sighed as he got up, “Thanks again” he repeated as he patted Vinnys’ back before laying on the couch.
This was nice…he was free, he had more friends and he wasn’t alone all the time…he still missed Garmadon…is that how Tenshi felt? 25 years away from his wife? The thought caused guilt to formed in Vinnys’ stomach…
