(I suggest you check out part 1-5 if you haven't already also Red Son is a heavy sleeper)
Mk let out a sigh as he entered the noodle shop he was at work for a few hours and it was 5pm. "Hey kid! Didn't run into any scary demons today?" Pigsy asked as he entered, "Other than Monkey King scaring me to death, thankfully no" Mk said tiredly before stretching, "You hungry? It's on the house today" Pigsy said he was in a good mood today, "If you don't want it I'll take it!" Tang chimed in earning a bonk on the head from Pigsy. "Um, yea sure, but make it to go I'm really tired" Mk responded before sitting down next to Tang. He submerged in his thoughts hoping his apartment was safe and that Red Son didn't do anything. But life isn't easy and then all his thoughts were filled with was about Red Son, in fact he was so distracted he didn't notice that Pigsy and Tang have been calling him, "Mk you alright? You seem really distracted today" Tang said worriedly as he pat MKs' back, "Haha...yea I'm fine just really tired and have a lot on my mind today" Mk responded, "Well you can always talk to us" Pigsy said before handing Mk a bag with noodles in it, "Thanks see you later" Mk said before leaving and going to his apartment.
Mk carefully opened the door not knowing what he was going to see, he tensed up slightly seeing that the lights were turned off and carefully put the noodles to the side and began looking around, the TV was off and he looked around until a soft little purr caught his attention, he looked at the couch to see Red Son, hugging a pillow and laying there fast asleep. Seeing this Mk let out a sigh of relief before going to the other side of the couch. The noodle boy stared at the fire demon completely entranced in his looks. After a minute Mk looked around, "Haha I am such a weirdo..." Mk quietly laughed out before crouching on his knees and gently caressing Red Sons' cheek.
A small little smile creeped on the fire demons' face before purring quietly then nuzzling his face into the pillow, "Holy shit...he's like a cat..." Mk thought as his cheeks heated up. The noodle kissed Red Sons' forehead before calling himself weird again and getting up before going to his room. Mk let out a sigh before going to eat he began eating while scrolling through his phone. The noodles had a comforting smell and was warm. After 5 minutes he made sure to dispose of the rubbish not wanting to put Red Sons' work to shame and he also noticed Red Son did the dishes from after the pancakes when he left for work. Mk went to his room to have a much deserved shower.
He turned on the tap and stripped before going in. This was just what he needed after a long day at work, the water dripping down his body as his muscles loosened. It was a 20minute shower mainly cause he just wanted to stay in the water but he got out and began looking a for a certain jumper that some certain fire demon might be wearing, he realised his room has been tampered with and began looking around seeing if anything dangerous was taken not that he has much dangerous things. Ultimately he ended up in a shirt and shorts which was surprising due to the cold weather and thankfully nothing bad was taken from his room. When he went out of his room to his surprise he saw Macaque hovering near Red Son, "Heya bud..." Macaque said out awkwardly honestly he had no idea Mk was here. Mk was quick and summoned his staff, "The hell are you doing here..." Mk hissed his voice laced with poison. The shadow monkey held out his hands as a sign of mercy. "Calm down, just came to check on Red I don't want to fight" Macaque said quietly as he lifted the blanket higher on Red Son. "How can I believe that?" Mk growled as he moved closer to Macaque with his staff in hand.
"C'mon bud you really think I would lie to my favourite student?" Macaque replied before backing away, "I'm not your student and you're making it really hard to believe you" Mk replied before moving closer to Macaque making him move away from Red Son. Macaque noticed this and smirked, "Ohhhh, I get it now you like him, and you don't want me anywhere near him, kinda ironic since you almost killed him yesterday, buuuut... we all have bad days" Macaque said causing Mk to blush and feel a little bit guilty about yesterday. "I don't know what you're talking about" Mk replied visibly annoyed. "Of course you do bud, and I'm not judging Red Son seemed quite comfortable in your clothes when I came by before" the shadow monkey said, hearing this MKs' eyes widened, "You came here before?" Mk asked.
Macaque let out a sigh, "Listen Mk, I really don't want to fight just need to check up on Red son every now and then, I came here before because he was missing from the castle last night and I had to lie to his parents, Red's a good kid just is associated with the wrong demons" Macaque said before looking at Red Son, "Does that include you?" Mk asked, "Haha...not really I'm the only one he actually trusts..." Macaque said his voice now sounding broken, Mk lowered his staff and let out a sigh, "You know he won't be staying here, right? He's loyal to his parents..." The shadow monkey said his voice sounding more and more broken especially at the last part. "What does that mean?" The noodle boy asked as he put his staff away. "I-I can't tell you, b-but know he'll be out of here tomorrow" Macaque said, Mk was gonna say something but Mk slipped into the shadows.
Mk let out a sigh then stared at Red Son, "Oh firefly what have you gotten yourself into...?" Mk asked him knowing there wasn't going to be an answer.
(Woooo hope you enjoy ngl I really like this chapter ALSO Macaque reveals his blind eye and 6 ears around Red Son when they're alone due to how much he trusts him and Macaque covers up his eye to anyone else with an X shape across it)

“I thought that, just wanted to double check” Vinny spoke to Deity who was looking at the picture with a somber expression. “I know he and Enji used to be friends…can you tell me a little about them? I’m just curious, Enji really cares for him…” he added.
“I don’t see why not” Deity chuckled as she got comfortable, “Believe it or not, but Enji was a sweet kid, I met him a few times when he was friends with Shanni…the two were close” she confessed with a smile.
“What changed?” The cameraman questioned, “Why is he like this now?”
“Not sure, no one is…” Deity sighed out, “He just began attacking the kingdom with Rida, Shanni never wanted to believe…” she confessed, as she watched Vinny stare at the photo more intently.
“They’re wearing matching earrings” the cameraman pointed out, he would admit it was cute. It was a pair of earring, and they both took one, black hook earrings.
“Yea…Shanni still has his, but barely wears it not sure about Enji, I hardly see him” Deity answered.
“Enji wears his, I’ve seen it” Vinny confessed, causing Deity to sigh.
“Enji was the best thing that happened to him…” Deity spoke.
“As much as I don’t like Enji…I will admit they’re cute” The cameraman chuckled, causing Deity to laugh softly, “It’s true though! I couldn’t care less if the two got together, who am I to judge?” He laughed.
“It would be sweet, the two won’t hurt each other badly, other than a scar every now and then they won’t even kill each other either” Deity confessed.
“That’s why Enji looked surprised when he kicked Shancai instead of him…” the cameraman thought to himself, everything was making sense right now. Vinny was about to ask something when there was a knock on the door.
“Come in” Deity called out, the door opened as a maid came in, “Something wrong dear?” She asked curiously as she cocked her head.
“There’s this weird thing in the garden” the maid confessed, causing Deity and Vinny to look at her curiously.
“I’ll be just a moment dear” Deity spoke to the cameraman as she stood up.
“Take as long as you need” Vinny answered with a smile as he watched her leave and close the door. As much as he wanted to see this weird thing, he was too dead to move.
The cameraman was left in the room, it was too quiet, but it was changed by the door slamming open, Vinny turned his head to the side maybe it was the wind? The window was open. The cameraman went to door and was about to close it when he noticed this weird glowing dust on the ground. He began reluctantly following it, and it led to his room.
Vinny entered his room and noticed the dust on his bed near his arm bracers and cloak, he nervously grabbed them and looked around, the room was clean now, other than the dust. The cameraman noticed the dust lead to the window and he walked over to it and looked out of it, it was an open window too.
There was nothing out there and just as he was about to turn around he felt two hands on his back as he was suddenly pushed out of the window. He let out a scream as he fell, bracing for an impact, he was caught off guard when the fall was shorter than expected, but he was still met with his face to the ground.
“Oww…” he groaned as he sat up he rubbed his head, he looked around, where the fuck was he? Not the kingdom. He looked up, there was this weird portal thing, “What the fuck?” He spoke, as the portal closed. Good thing was he had his arm bracers and dagger, so he wasn’t completely fucked.
The cameraman looked around, and noticed bars in the place in front of him, he weakly stood up and looked out, it looked like a…battle arena? And there were people fighting. Now then, seriously who the fuck did he piss off for this?
“I’ve got to be dreaming…” Vinny muttered to himself, as he pinched himself, “Fucking hell…I’m gonna die” he sighed as he dropped down against the wall, putting on the arm bracers, he surprisingly put it on first try. And then he put on his cloak, he had some protection.
The cameraman stared out the bars and watched the two people fight, he felt sick when he watched one of them get impaled and dropped to the ground. Was this some sort of entertainment? Who the hell pushed him too? Vinny watched the dead body be dragged out of the arena as the survivor was shoved in a cage as well.
He really hoped someone could find him. If he wasn’t out of here, then he could only wonder the amount of worry the others would feel. Especially Garmadon… “I’m such an idiot” he whined as he pressed his head against the bars.
Vinny sat there for a while before let out a small squeak as the bars were lifted up and he face planted into the ground. Was he fighting now? Oh hell no. He was gonna run around like a toddler and pray for some miracle.
The cameraman stayed in his cell and looked around wondering who he might be ‘fighting’. Vinny watched a cell lift, as a man walked out. The cameraman practically shrunk there, yep he needed a miracle.
The man looked interesting, a somewhat overgrown beard, long black matted hair, dark emerald eyes, a body littered with scars, and…vitiligo…strange, he also looked somewhat like Shancai. He didn’t have much clothes other than pants.
Vinny watched the man stare at him, the man had a cold expression with somewhat curiosity, maybe knowing the cameraman was new here. Vinny reluctantly exited the cell, it was better than being forced out. He could practically feels eyes on him, and gossiping.
They were gonna fight and Vinny was gonna die, he was trying to delay this and wait and see if the man would start the fight. Sadly the man did start the fight as he lunged forward and tried punching Vinny, thankfully the cameraman stumbled back and tripped on a rock, making the man miss.
The cameraman grabbed his dagger from his pocket, just in case, he wasn’t planning on using it. “Shit shit shit shit!” Vinny repeated as he ran away, but the man was fast and caught up easily, grabbing Vinny and throwing him to the ground. “Asshole!” The cameraman hissed as he tried kicking the man away.
“Just let me kill you! It’s a better fate!” The man hissed as he squeezed the camermans’ shoulder and held him down.
“Fuck no!” Vinny answered as he kicked the mans’ shins and got back up, running away. The man scowled before grabbing the cameramans’ hair and throwing him against a wall. Vinny felt tears of pain prick in the corner of his eyes as he sliced the mans’ arm with the dagger.
“How the hell did you even end up here? Can’t even defend yourself!” The man hissed as he reached to this discarded axe on the ground.
“I’ve been asking myself that question for a while now!” Vinny answered as he backed away, but stopped when his back hit against the wall.
“You’re as slippery as a snake” the man hissed as he walked over holding the axe.
“I swear if you work for Rida or something we can talk this out!” The cameraman tried to reason with the other.
“Work with him?! Never in my life! Who the hell do you think brought you here!?” The man hissed as he crouched in front of Vinny, pressing the axe against his neck.
“I don’t even know how I got here!” The cameraman answered as he forced a smile at the man.
“Not my problem” the man spoke as he lifted the axe, Vinny tried to brace for impact, but instead they fell through the ground back into a cell. The cell was different it was larger and there were tables and all these other people too. “What the fuck…?” The man hissed as he grumbled.
“That was entertaining!” One of the people in the cell spoke, a woman. She had half her head shaved and black hair with purple highlights and purple eyes. She wore a cropped leather jacket with a shirt under and black shorts with neon purple lines.
“I’ve never seen you take so long to kill someone” she chuckled as she sat at a table, and stared at Vinny who was still on the ground, breathing heavily.
“Go fuck yourself” the man hissed as he went and sat by himself at a table.
“Get up” the woman chuckled to the cameraman. Vinny hesitantly nodded as he got up, dusting himself off. “Don’t mind Tenshi, he’s old and grumpy” she spoke as she patted the seat next to her.
The cameraman reluctantly sat next to her, “Where…are we?” He hesitantly asked.
“A hellhole, Rida puts us up against each other to the death” she chuckled, “I’m Nyssa” she introduced herself with a smile.
“Vinny…” the cameraman answered as he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, which hurt from when Tenshi pulled on it. “I’m gonna killed Rida…” he whined as he dropped his head on the table.
“Good luck with that, he hardly actually shows up in touching range and just watches like a freak” Nyssa answered.
“I’m gonna find a way out of here…” Vinny spoke.
“As far as I I’m certain there’s no way to leave, Tenshi’s been stuck here for the longest, 25 years and still hasn’t left” she answered, causing the cameraman to groan.
“Can I talk to him?” Vinny asked her.
“Maybe…or he might actually axe you” Nyssa spoke.
“Maybe that can wait a day” The cameraman answered, receiving a nod from her.
“Hey! Nyssa! What’s your bet for this one?! How long you gonna think he’s last?” A different man called out from across the room.
“A bet?” Vinny asked curiously as he cocked his head.
“They’re betting how long till you die” she spoke to Vinny, “Maybe a week Tex!” Nyssa called back out.
“Oh” the cameraman spoke.
“No hard feelings?” Nyssa asked.
“None, I’m surprised you even said a week, that’s generous” Vinny answered with a smile.
“Exactly!” Nyssa laughed out, “See? I like you already” she added as he rested her hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.
“Is there anything I should know here?” The cameraman asked, he knew he couldn’t trust everyone.
“Don’t trust Tex, or those three” She spoke as she pointed to four people in the corner. “They will backstab you the second they get a chance”
“I feel like anyone’s gonna back stab me” Vinny spoke.
“Fair, also there’s fights everyday, sometimes duos or not” Nyssa added.
“I’m so dying…” the cameraman confessed as he slumped his head back on the table. He looked back up when two bowls were put on the table. “What’s this?” It looked weird.
“Food, not really sure what it is, tastes terrible, but it could always be worse” Nyssa chuckled as she began eating. Vinny stared at the food, before taking a deep breath and beginning to eat too. He really hoped everything was alright back at the palace…
The food was terrible, but as Nyssa said, it could always be worse. And bad food could never compare to when Rushifa forced Vinny to eat flesh, he shivered form the thought of it. “Also we all just sleep in this area” She spoke up.
“Kill me” The cameraman groaned.
“Tenshi was trying to” Nyssa chuckled, as she pointed to the man sitting by himself eating.
Time somehow went by really quickly and everyone was asleep, he hadn’t done much other than sit down and watch Nyssa talk to everyone. Vinny sat in the corner of the cold cell, sighing to himself. Before he cocked his head as he saw Tenshi also awake, writing something into the sandy floor.
The cameraman hesitantly went over to him, and sat down. “What do you want?” Tenshi hissed, as he moved a little away from Vinny.
“Answers, I wanna hear what you have to tell me about this place…” The cameraman answered.
“You can trust Nyssa, she’s one of the trustworthy people in this pack of dogs” Tenshi grumbled, as if he knew what Vinny was going to say.
“That was one of my questions” the cameraman sighed, he noticed Tenshi slide his hand to the axe on the ground.
“Don’t get too attached…when you’re forced to fight against each other one will have to die…” Tenshi muttered, “And death is mercy”
“Then why are you still here? She said you’ve been here for 25 years, almost three decades…why not die and be not with this?” Vinny questioned as he leaned against a wall.
“Wouldn’t you like to know” Tenshi hissed as he looked away, his hand moving away from the axe.
“I know you say death is an easy option…but Rida already made my life hell out of this place, he wants something with me and my friends, a kingdoms’ power of some sort” Vinny confessed, he wanted to gain Tenshi’s trust. “I won’t die here…I can’t do that to my friends, leave them wondering what happened to me” he sighed.
There was this silence for a few moments, “I have a wife and kids…” Tenshi confessed quietly, “She doesn’t know what happened to me either I presume…” he added.
“A wife too? He looks like Shancai and Willow has his eyes” Vinny thought to himself.
“I’ve tried escaping this place for years…no luck but I won’t give up for her” Tenshi whispered.
“Maybe we can both try getting out together?” Vinny asked.
“We’re gonna be put up against each other and have to kill…I don’t get attached to anyone for that reason” Tenshi grumbled.
“Well Rida can go fuck himself, cause we’re not dying” The cameraman spoke as he held out his hand to Tenshi.
“I’ll play your game for now see where it ends…” Tenshi sighed as he took Vinnys’ hand.
(Also! The characters that will be added into the whole story is Nyssa and Tenshi, they’ll be important characters, more so Tenshi, by Nyssa will have a role)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-43 if you haven't already)
After Vinny went inside he went to his room and decided to pack a bag with things he's going to need once he spends the whole day out doing jack shit and maybe just maybe relaxing, very low possibility. As he packed he looked back at the blade Rida gave him, "Dragonbone and leather...where would he get those...he didn't kill a dragon right..?" Vinny mumbled to himself as he took off the sheath. He looked down at his foot and sighed out, he was still sort of limping on it but it wasn't stabbed that badly by Enji.
There was a knock on the door and the cameraman instantly covered the blade and put it in his pocket. "Come in!" Vinny called out to whoever knocked. To the cameramans' surprise Garmadon came in. "O-Oh hey!" Vinny responded surprisingly not expecting to see him. "Lloyd told me how you have work again....I know you're lying and trying to avoiding me..." The oni said as he sat on the bed and avoided eye contact and Vinny did the same. "I...am...I just need some space away from you and you do too we both need space to breathe...and not being cooped up in this room....I-I won't do anything else..." Vinny responded as he looked down to his hands.
"You're not just avoiding me...you're avoiding everyone...Lloyd noticed how you pushed questions away..." The oni added, hearing this made Vinny tense, he didn't wan to involve anyone in this situation he was having and he didn't want to explain it to anyone, Wu was pretty freaked out over being told about Enji and how would he tell anyone about Rida, or how Enji stabbed him, he could barely trust himself with what he saw he was a sleep deprived guy with a black haired guy tormenting him and apparently the guy he takes orders from being a hundred times nicer. "I'll be fine..." Vinny responded as he stood up and slid the blade into his pocket.
"Please...get some rest at least...coffee isn't a permanent solution..." Garmadon spoke out worriedly, Vinny knew the oni was right, he's always had a cup of coffee before going to work and after a while it would wear out and he would be miserable when he came back home. "I'll...think about it..." Vinny responded as he put on his jacket. Garmadon nodded before watching Vinny leave the room fidgeting with something in his pocket, and the oni had no idea that Vinny had that blade with him. "What am I going to do with you...?" Garmadon sighed out before laying on the bed his tail wrapping around his leg loosely, he decided to take some rest to get his mind off things. (I think I forgot to mention that he does have a tail earlier on)
Vinny walked out of the room quickly not wanting to talk to Garmadon any longer. He wanted to talk to him but didn't he wasn't ready for him to start asking questions and he definitely didn't want to be in the same room knowing very well he would out himself about something. As he walked Vinnys' stomach grumbled due to the fact he skipped breakfast, "Shit I'm hungry..." he mumbled, so he ended up going to the kitchen. Vinny looked around the kitchen and found some bread, cheese, lettuce, tomato some chicken strips in the fridge that he ended up air frying. He used a panini press to crisp it up. It was a pretty good sandwich and he put the the lettuce and tomato after it was cooked. (I HATE tomatoes in sandwiches)
He sat down on the table and began eating it while scrolling through his phone and it was cut into triangles, because that's the only normal way to cut it. As Vinny was eating somebody snatched the second slice from the plate. "Hey!" The cameraman hissed turning his attention to the culprit. "Nice sandwich!" Enji said as he tore off a piece of the sandwich and ate it. "Give me back my sandwich!" Vinny hissed angrily because ain't nobody messing with anyones' food!.
"Or what!" Enji teased wanting to know what Vinny would do. The cameraman attempted to grab the sandwich but failed and had his hand squeezed really, really tightly on top of that it was his hand that was burnt by Garmadon ages ago. "What kind of guy steals someones' sandwich!" Vinny said as he winced in pain. "Me~!" Enji replied before tearing off another piece and eating it. Vinny groaned, he hated it when Enji decided to be a pain in the ass. "Whatcha gonna do about it short fuse~?" The black haired menace teased again.
Without warning sucker punched Enji and slammed his head against the table. "Oww! You piece of shit!" The black haired menace groaned in pain as he felt his jaw and his head. "Give me back my sandwich!" the cameraman hissed . "Geez ok ok! Don't kill me!" Enji replied before handing Vinny his sandwich back. "Fuck! You punched me that hard over a sandwich" Enji groaned as he looked over to Vinny who was happily eating his sandwich not caring about Enji.
"Next time you're getting stabbed again~!" Enji laughed out manically before disappearing. Vinny acted like he didn't care but he did, he really did, he was scared of where he would be stabbed and how much it would hurt. But one thing was certain....Today Enji learnt to never steal Vinnys' sandwiches.....and neither should you......
(THIS SHIT IS SO GOOFY!!!!! AND REMEMBER NEVER STEAL SOMEONES SANDWICH)

(I suggest you check out parts 1-56 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised: Criolla_Star)
As Vinny got up from his bed, he reached for the dagger on the bedside table, he cursed to himself realising he left it in the bathroom.
It was too early for this, but he got a decent sleep at night. As he went over to the mirror he noticed the window was slightly open…when did that happen? Never mind, maybe that’s what pushed the jacket onto his bed.
He rubbed his temples as he groaned to himself, as sat back on the edge of the bed about to lay down…the air thickened in the room as his heart quickened.
“Morning buddy~” a familiar voice whispered into the cameramans’ ear as a head rested on his shoulder. Vinny cursed to himself once more as he reluctantly turned his head around
Enji…just what he needed, must’ve jinxed himself before. Except Vinny was a little surprised to see the menace not wearing his normal attire and certainly didn’t look the same.
He looked just as tired as Vinny, droopy eyes, wearing a dark grey compression shirt and loose black shorts. His hair was out, some of it draping over his shoulder.
“What do you want?” The cameraman spoke, malice evident in his voice.
“What do I want?” Enji replied, chuckling softly, “Must I have a want? Can’t I pay a visit? After all I didn’t see you yesterday” he continued as he leaned back onto the bed, resting against the backboard.
Vinny rolled his eyes and grumbled in annoyance as the menace relaxed. “Get your feet off” he spoke, it sounded more like a request than an order. He was still scared of Enji after all.
“Nope” Enji teased, “Now then…what’s with covering the mirrors?” He asked the cameraman causing his breathe to hitch.
“I just don’t like mirrors…” Vinny replied plainly, it was partially the truth. “Now answer my question…why are you here? You clearly didn’t plan for this based on how you look” he added as he stood up from the bed, distancing himself from the menace.
Enji rolled his eyes and chuckled, “I was planning on do this tomorrow, buuuuut Rida wanted to be extra safe so I’m doing it now”
“That answers on thing” The cameraman sighed as he looked in the dresser mirror. “And what do you need to be extra safe of?” He questioned once more.
“A few things…and as for the reason I’m here…” Enji spoke, Vinny shivered and looked at the ground as he was hit by something cold, not quite wind though…he looked back at the mirror, his heart aching. “I need a favour….” He continued as he was now in the mirror, those eyes staring directly into the cameramans’.
Vinny hardly processed what was said to him as he was caught off guard by Enji going into the mirror, “A-a favour?” He managed to stutter out as his mind finally processed the words.
“Yep~! Nothing too big” Enji replied with a devilish smile as his hand reached from in the mirror and he grabbed Vinnys’ cheeks harshly. The cameraman sucked his teeth, but kept his mouth shut. Anything could piss off Enji, and he clearly wanted to get over and done with this quickly.
“What is it…?” Vinny grumbled, he wanted to get rid of Enji so badly, but he needed to know what the favour is.
“You need to help me get that key~!” Enji replied as he released Vinnys’ cheeks.
“The key…? Y-you can’t actually believe I’ll help you get it?” The cameraman replied as he stroked a hand through his hand and put his other hand on his hip.
“I don’t need to believe…because you’re helping me whether you like it or not” Enji threatened as he climbed out of the mirror and sat on the mirror stand.
“C-can’t you get it yourself? You’ve managed to sneak in here multiple times!” Vinny replied, anxiety creeping up his back.
“If it was that simple I would’ve done so already!” Enji hissed before taking a deep breath, “Now all you need to do is get me down to that god forsaken place…that stupid elevator has some recognition thing and my illusions aren’t working” he sighed, annoyance evident on his face,
Vinny rolled his eyes, “What if I don’t?” He asked, wanting to see how far he could push this.
The menace grumbled, “If you don’t fucking listen then I’ll take your friends one by one and gouge their eyes while you watch” he threatened, he really wanted to get this over and done with.
Vinnys’ breathe hitched as his hands trembled, he clenched his fists and took a deep breathe, “Can’t you…just make a copy of the key…?” He asked hesitantly.
“That key is special, because it’s magical now hurry up before someone wakes up” Enji replied impatiently, he was more pushy than usual.
“Anything’s better than him hurting them” the cameraman thought before he reluctantly nodded to Enji.
Enji gave him a sinister smile before jumping off the mirror stand, “Lead the way my friend” he teased as he bowed down.
Vinny grumbled to himself, “Wait…I need to get something…” he spoke as he went to the bathroom and came back with the dagger.
“I see you enjoy the dagger” Enji spoke, but the cameraman ignored and walked out of the room, he was followed by the other man who closed the door behind him.
(Someone’s had motivations lately)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-70 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
“Is there a training grounds here?” Nya asked, Shancai nodded in response.
“We could use some training…fighting against someone we don’t know due to our new threat” Lloyd spoke.
“New threat?” Willow muttered to Vinny.
“Enji…” The cameraman whispered back, Willow made a ‘oh’ sign with her mouth and nodded.
“How about we finish eating then we can go?” Wu asked, receiving nods from the others.
“Where’s your mother?” Jay blurted out to Willow and Shancai, they both shrugged.
“I saw her earlier…but she was busy with something…” the nature elemental spoke, Vinny and Shancai exchange worried looks, wondering what was up with Deity.
They all finished eating and began making their way to the training grounds. When they went by Deitys’ room Vinny paused, he wanted to see her. “Everything alright?” Kai asked the cameraman noticing he stopped walking.
“Uh…yea, go on without me I’ll catch up, just gotta do something” Vinny answered receiving nods from the others as they began walking again, Willow and Shancai staring as him curiously, Vinny pointed to Deitys’ door and they both realised what he was doing and nodded, then walked off.
Once he was alone, he worked up the courage to gently knock on the closed door. He didn’t hear anything and waited a bit more, thankfully the door was opened and Deity stood there. She looked overworked…was that chest Enji took worrying her that much?
“Morning dear…” Deity spoke softly as she gave him a small smile, it was obviously forced and didn’t carry the same comfort of one true smile.
“Morning…” Vinny replied, “Sorry…for bothering you, I just wanted to check on you” he added, Deitys’ expression softened hearing that.
“I’m well dear, did you rest well?” She questioned.
“Yea…I wanted to thank you too, talking to you helped…” Vinny spoke to her, when he spoke to her, he felt like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.
“It’s no problem dear…talking to you helped me as well” She answered, “Is everyone awake?” She added.
“Yep, we were going to the training grounds, Willow suggested Shancai spar with the others and he took up on the idea” Vinny replied.
“That’s good…” she sighed, “I checked up on you early this morning…you weren’t in your room, but then I went to Shancais’…I was surprised seeing you all bunched up together…” she chuckled.
“I wasn’t planning on it…me and him were up and we must’ve woke Willow up, but she came in and suggested a sleepover…it was really nice” Vinny answered, his expression softened at the thought.
“I also happened to check again and find Willow purring makeup on you two” Deity teased, causing Vinny to blush.
“Y-yea she did…but it was funny…” Vinny spoke through embarrassment.
“Best you be off, before you lose your way” she teased.
“R-right!” The cameraman laughed out as he looked back in the hallway, “I’ll see you later” he added, Deity waved goodbye and watched Vinny run off into the hallway and try to catch up with the others.
Vinny was out of breath as he finally made it back to the others, “Look who decided to grace up with his presence” Kai teased as he allowed Vinny to lean against him and catch his breath. Garmadon looked at the cameraman and sighed, he wanted to talk…but how…?
“Those…” Vinny panted as he pointed to the halls, “Are some long ass hallways” he breathed heavily.
“That’s why you walk in them” Shancai spoke as he summoned his spear and gently bonked Vinnys’ head.
“I had to catch up!” The cameraman answered, “And I was not going to talk to someone to find you all!” He added.
“Idiot” Nya teased, as they all exited the palace into a large area.
“Here we are!” Willow spoke joyfully as she pointed to the area, it had archery targets, hay targets and all types of training equipment.
“Sometimes I forget we’re in a huge kingdom…” Cole spoke as he stared into the large area. They went down the stairs and designated one area to their training.
“Shall we warm up?” Zane questioned.
“Stretch” Shancai spoke, “You two may not pull a muscle” he pointed to Zane and Pixal “but they will” he added as he pointed to the rest who are not nindroids. “You’re not fighting I take it?” He asked Vinny.
“I would pull a muscle with or without stretching” Vinny chuckled, and sat down where Shancai pointed. Wu and Garmadon sat on the side.
“Shanni! Take off your armour, you’re sparring!” Willow begged her brother, Shancai rolled his eyes, before taking off his top armour piece, he was wearing a black compression shirt underneath. Goddamn did he have muscles.
“I do not want to fight him…” Jay muttered to Kai and Cole.
“Agreed…” Kai and Cole spoke in agreement, Shancai rested his armour piece next to Vinny, who just stared at it and tried poking it…never again…that’s heavy…
“How about we just do weapons first?! Then we can have on with you all using your powers!” Vinny suggested.
“That’s wise” Zane spoke.
“Very well” Shancai answered as his eyes scanned his spear for any damages, the other ninja nodded in agreement.
As the ninja finished stretching and warming up, they debated who was sparring Shancai first, “I say Jay goes first” Kai suggested.
“W-what why me?!” Jay answered, clearly offended.
“Cause if you can beat him we can” Cole teased, he was just playing along with Kais’ teases.
“He won’t kill you!” Willow called out from next to Vinny in an attempt to comfort them, “Not sure about hurting though!” She added, she wanted to mess with them.
“He’ll hurt them?” Vinny asked her.
“Nah, I’m just messin’ with em’”Willow answered, causing the cameraman to snicker. “How about you all go at it?!” She called out.
“What?” Lloyd asked curiously.
“You all attack him with weapons!” She answered.
“A-are you sure? Maybe that’s too much” Nya questioned.
“What’s that meant to mean?” Shancai questioned, to him it sounded like he was being underestimated.
“N-nothing!” Nya spoke immediately.
“Sure…we can do it…?” Lloyd replied, causing Willow to smile happily.
“You sure this is good?” Vinny asked.
“I know my brother and his limits…and he knows them too” Willow replied to Vinny.
They all positioned themselves, Shancai in the middle surrounded by the others, Vinny, Willow, Garmadon and Pixal all sitting out. Kai attacked first, lunging forward with a sword, the prince dodged with ease, moving with grace. He used the blunt end of his spear to knock the others away.
As Jay attacked with nunchucks Shancai used the spear head to lodge it in the chains of the nunchucks and pull it out of Jays’ hands throwing it to the side. “Cocky” the prince spoke as Kai attacked again, “Slow” he spoke to Cole, who was using a scythe, “Aggressive” he said to Nya, who growled at him.
“I’ll show you aggressive…” Nya grumbled, Cole managed to grab Shancai from behind using the spear to keep his arms back, while Lloyd put a sword to his neck, they seemed to have let their guard down slightly.
Shancai jumped off the ground and used Zanes’ chest for power as he knocked off it, freeing his arms from Coles’ grip and landing behind him, “Save your celebrations till after all escapes are blocked” the prince spoke as he knocked Jay to the ground and held the spear to his throat.
“Geez okay!” Jay spoke with fear, he didn’t like this, Shancai sighed and got up.
“You spend too much time calculating every possible outcome, remember you don’t know your opponent you’ve never fought me before” Shancai spoke as he used his spear to point to Zane.
“I like him…” Wu muttered to Garmadon, Wu clearly liked his teaching style and how he critiqued their flaws.
“You put too much power in your hits and that slows you down” Shancai spoke as he pointed to Cole, “Too confident in yourself…you don’t know your limits” points to Kai.
“He didn’t kill them…but he killed something” Vinny muttered to Willow who laughed.
“Aggressive, something spoken that you dislike you’re triggered” Shancai spoke and pointed to Nya, “And you’re not confident enough” points to Lloyd.
“Geez…harsh much” Kai spoke, with fake offence.
As Shancai began helping better their techniques Wu got up and began helping as well, they did get along quite well. Pixal joined Zane in seeing how she can better her techniques.
“Gonna go see what he says about me” Willow spoke to Vinny as she got up and went to her brother Vinny nodded. Now it was just Garmadon and Vinny sitting out.
The cameraman tried to ignore Garmadons’ presence and focus on what Shancai was doing, but it failed…because Garmadon sat next to him, “Hey…” the oni spoke quietly.
“Hey…” Vinny replied bluntly, he didn’t want to talk, but he missed him.
“I…need to talk about something…” Garmadon mumbled, his voice becoming quieter and sadder.
“If it’s about my health then no we won’t talk about it…” Vinny sighed as he looked at the ground.
“It…isn’t…” The oni whispered, Vinny looked at him curiously…what could it be about…?
“Alright…I’m listening…” the cameraman sighed.
“I understand…the past few days haven’t been the best for both of us…” Garmadon began, Vinny nodded in following, “I love you…I really do…” he added quietly, the cameraman looked at him curiously…where was this going…?
“What’s wrong…?” Vinny asked, he was impatient, he was scared, nervous and terrified…
“A break…” Garmadon confessed quietly, Vinnys’ heart dropped.
“A-a break? What’s that meant to mean?” The cameraman asked, he needed to make sure it wasn’t what he thought it would be…
“We need a break Vinny…” Garmadon repeated as he stared at the ground, he couldn’t bring himself to look at Vinny.
Vinnys’ heart dropped heading those words, his mind just turned off, “I-is it me…?” He managed to whisper out.
Garmadon immediately panicked seeing Vinnys’ reaction, “N-no…it’s not…we just need…some space from each other, you need space…” Garmadon answered, as he looked at Vinny.
“R-right…just a break…” Vinny breathed out sharply.
“I…I still love you…I do, though having a relationship at the moment isn’t working for us…” Garmadon confessed, it clearly pained him to say all this.
Vinny just nodded, he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t think, he couldn’t move…what was happening…?
“Are you a-“ Garmadon cut himself off as Vinny got up and walked away. He really didn’t know what he was doing…he wanted to keep Vinny safe…but nothing was working…
Vinnys’ mind and body worked in auto pilot as it just walked back inside the palace. Nya, Wu, and Lloyd noticed this and turned their attention to Garmadon, who was looking at the ground rubbing his temples and stroking a hand through his hand.
Vinny just kept walking and walking…where was he going…? No idea…did he want to know? No…all he knew was that his life just collapsed in the span of 3 minutes…

(I suggest you check out parts 1-38 if you haven't already)
Enji exited the mirror because that has become a signature move for him. "W-what do you want...?" Vinny stuttered out as he rubbed tears from his eyes. "I...I didn't tell him.." He added as he stood up. "Well...you almost did~! But no worries, you're practically destroying yourself~!' Enji responded as he sat on the dresser. The cameraman heard that and tensed he was going to say something then stopped, he knew that black haired menace had a point.
Enji smirked realising Vinny knew he was right, "You know it's true too~!" He chuckled out before pulling out the blade from last night. The cameraman tensed seeing the blade and backed away. "Geez I'm not gonna hurt you wasn't supposed to yesterday and I don't want to be scolded at" Enji said noticing how tense Vinny was. "Y-you weren't supposed to? W-who even is telling you what to do? I mean I know it's probably that cape guy but what is his name?!" The cameraman asked.
"Honestly I think I should tell you~! His name is Rida~! Tall guy really shady, dark grey hair scars on his face" Enji responded as he began describing this guy. "Rida...? W-wait why are you t-telling me this so easily?!" Vinny asked thinking there was some catch or problem to this. The black haired menace smirked, "Like I said...you're destroying yourself, you're not telling anyone about me, and this is all so much fun~!" Enji laughed out menacingly as he twirled the blade around.
"Plus...you're way to valuable to just kill and Rida is sorta allowing me to mess with you~!" Enji added as he stood up, Vinny looked at him before sighing and laying on the bed, he wasn't in the mood for his bullshit today. "Geez what's up with you? You're so miserable today! That's no fun!" Enji whined out as he looked down at Vinny. "You know what's wrong with me dickhead!" Vinny responded as he held up the middle finger.
"Oh right, I do! You're running on 2 hours of sleep, was tormented last night and got into a fight with your fucking boyfriend~!" the black haired menace laughed out, "Fucking pathetic~!" He added as he rubbed a tear from his eye from laughing so much. "And you have such an attitude today~" he added as he sat on the bed. "C'mon! You're no fun to be around when you're tired~!" He whined out when he heard Vinny groan in annoyance.
"You're no fun to be around at all..." The cameraman responded. Enji mumbled something before grabbing Vinny and throwing him off the bed. "The fuck was that for!?" The cameraman hissed in annoyance, The black haired menace held the blade tightly and used his foot to push Vinny back down when he tried to get up. "If you're gonna be a moody bitch today...I think I'll find it better if you're screaming in pain instead~" Enji hissed as he pushed his foot harder against Vinnys' chest.
Vinny tensed and tried pushing Enjis' foot off him but failed miserably only making Enji pushed down harder to the point it hurt and began tracing the blade against Vinnys' neck. "Maybe I should shut you up..." The black haired menace whispered as he pressed the blade softly against the cameramans' neck. Vinny tensed and flinched slightly, this only empowered Enji to continue and pressed the knife harder against his neck. Vinny winced in pain and just as Enji was going to press the knife harder, " Enji..." A voice said, which instantly caused the black haired menace to stop and move away from Vinny.
"Heyyyy Rida...didn't know you were coming here!" Enji awkwardly said as he snapped the blade out of existence. Vinny looked at the figure apparently Rida, he had a distorted voice and looked towards Vinny, wearing the 'bird' mask which its eyes flashed orange.
