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

The ninja looked around the cavern for a little longer, Cole sat out, his arm was cut from the mysterious man. âHey guys! I found something!â Jay called out as he held up a key with intricate patterns that looked like spikes on the top.
The lightning ninja went back to the group and handed the key to Zane who began scanning it. âDragon bone and Ivoryâ The ice ninja spoke.
âDragon bone and ivoryâŚweirdâ Nya spoke, âLetâs go back to the monastery, we need to stitch Colesâ armâ She added as she pointed to the earth ninja who had his ninja hood tightly wrapped around his arm like a tourniquet.
The group nodded in agreement as they began going through the catacombs again, it took a while but they managed to get back out. âI have never missed the sky so muchâ Jay whined as he looked up.
They all got into their vehicles and drove to the monastery. âWho the hell was that guy though?â Kai spoke over the comms.
âNo idea, but I hate him alreadyâ Lloyd replied, they spoke about the man till they made it back.
âWelcome back, did you find it?â Pixal greeted them as he turned towards them.
âThere were two things, a chest and key, we have the keyâŚbut some weird man took the chestâ Lloyd spoke.
âAnd he cut Colesâ arm!â Kai added, Pixal turned her attention to the earth ninja.
âBest we stitch it upâ The female nindroid spoke as she pointed to a chair which Cole sat on. The elevator beeped as Garmadon and Wu came down.
âVinnyâs not back?â Nya asked, clearly surprised, the spinjitzu brothers shook their heads as they walked over.
âShould I call him?â Lloyd asked, but was cut off by the ping of his phone. He looked at it, âNevermindâŚhe said heâs like a minute away and asked if weâre backâ
Garmadon looked slightly relieved that Vinny was coming back, he wanted to keep watch on him as much as possible. Cole winced slightly as Pixal disinfected his wound and began stitching.
âDid you retrieve anything?â Wu asked.
âYes, a key, we also found a chest but a unknown man took itâ Zane spoke.
âUnknown man? StrangeâŚand I take it he done that?â Wu asked as he looked at Cole, they nodded in response.
There was an awkward silence before Nya spoke up, âDid you use that this morning? Thereâs a roll of bandages missingâ the water ninja spoke as she looked in the first aid bag.
The two nindroids locked eyes with each other, they both had a promise to keep.
âYesâŚthe postman injured himself this morningâ the female nindroid spoke.
âReally h-â Jay asked but was cut off by the beeping of the elevator, Vinny was here.
âWelcome backâ Nya spoke her voice slightly teasing, the cameraman smiled, he still had his bag on his shoulder.
âHow was it? And what happened to him?â Vinny asked as he joined the group and pointed to Cole, he also hesitantly looked at Garmadon and gave him a small smile. It was the least he could do to show some recognition.
âWe found a keyâŚand some guy took a chest and cut Cole! Kai spoke, he was sitting next to Cole watching Pixal carefully stitch him.
âA guy? Really? Whatâd he looked like?â Vinny asked as he looked at the curiously.
âI can upload it from my memory onto the monitorâ The ice ninja spoke as he grabbed a long cord and attached it to the back of his head and began typing things on the keyboard.
The group watched in anticipation, and Pixal finished the stitches. The screen loaded and a very familiar voice played, a voice that sent shivers down Vinnysâ spine as he stared at the man.
âEnjiâŚâ Vinny thought to himself as his hair stood up on ends, his hands trembled as Enjisâ voice played in the background from the video, this was badâŚthe one person he didnât want anyone know about was getting involved.
The cameraman didnât seem to notice the bright red eyes staring at him worriedly, to Garmadon he saw fear pure dread, he didnât want to bring it up, but this manâŚVinny clearly knew him.
âHow does he make clones?â Jay asked as they continued to watch the videos, âItâs all fakeâ he added.
âItâs like illusionsâŚâ Vinny spoke, he wasnât technically telling them anything revealing, he was helping his friends.
âThat does make senseâ Wu spoke.
âWhereâs the key you found?â The cameraman asked, Zane handed the key to Vinny you looked at it.
âBest we donât overthink it nowâŚrest and talk about it tomorrowâ Garmadon spoke, the group nodded, it was pretty late.
One by one they slowly left, Garmadon was a little stubborn, but Wu everntually managed to convince him to leave, now it was just Zane, Pixal and Vinny. âAre you alright Vinny?â Pixal asked, the cameraman nodded.
âYouâre anxiety levels spiked when you saw the videoâ the ice ninja spoke, Vinny put the key down.
âJust a little worried about who this guy isâ the cameraman spoke before he left, leaving the two nindroids very confused.
(I just had the biggest spark of motivation for this, I donât know where from but itâs welcome, I hope you enjoy)

Vinny sat there for 5 minutes more till finally getting up, the blade Rida gave him had a cover so he kept that on and slid it into his pocket. "I should avoid Garmadon..." The cameraman thought to himself as he exited the room and began walking around. Vinny wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings that he walked pass Lloyd. "Hey Vinny" The green ninja said out catching his attention.
The cameraman turned his attention to Lloyd and smiled friendly, he was tired but didn't want to show it much and the two cups of coffee helped. "You feeling okay? You looked really tired when I saw you before" Lloyd asked curiously, "Hah...yea just didn't get much sleep last night" Vinny responded before stretching. "Do you know...what's up with my dad? I saw him before and he looked...well sad? And I'm off to go train with him now" The green ninja said.
Vinny instantly tensed, hearing Garmadon mentioned hurt him, he felt terrible for what we yelled at him, but he had to keep him safe. "Umm...n-no...we talked before and he left" Vinny lied as he slid his hands into his pockets and began fidgeting with the blade sheath taking it off and putting it back on. "Not that I know of...you seem in a better mood than before it was probably your two cups of coffee" Lloyd chuckled out.
"Yea probably is was thinking about having another cup" Vinny replied, "Really? I drink coffee and so does the others but no one ever drinks that much, last time we drank two cups and we all stayed up for hours! Jay was so jittery and almost electrocuted us!" Lloyd laughed out in surprise. "Only two!? Geez I could drink four and still be dead as hell" Vinny responded surprisingly.
"You're probably used to it then" Lloyd responded after he finished laughing. "Yea...so tomorrow I have to go back to work...the guy taking my place was hurt so I have to go if I wanna keep my job" Vinny said awkwardly obviously lying but he was taking Ridas' advice about having some alone time. "Really? That's just sad...you'll come back right?" Lloyd responded his voice sounding a bit sadder. "Yea of course" Vinny said.
"Does my dad know?" Lloyd asked, "Umm...no? Can you tell him please?" Vinny asked desperately, the green ninja looked at him curiously, "I guess I can...but why can't you?" Lloyd asked, "No reason...thanks bye!" Vinny responded before quickly hurrying off leaving Lloyd really, really confused.
Vinny continued walking before deciding to go outside, when he went out he saw most of the ninja except Lloyd training there. "Hey Vinny!" Nya called out before dodging an attack from Jay and very 'gently' throwing him to the ground. "Hey" Vinny responded before grimacing at the way Nya threw Jay to the ground. Nya helped Jay up and kissed his forehead, "Sorry about that" She said to the lightning ninja.
"Haha...feeling better? You looked really...sleep deprived" Jay said out with an awkward chuckle, this question made Nya sigh out. "O-Oh yea I'm fine, just needed a cup of coffee" Vinny responded with a smile, Jay looked at him knowing very well how coffee affected himself on top of that Vinny still had black circles under his eyes, it wasn't even subtle you'd be able to spot it from a mile away.
Vinny slid his hands back in his pocket and fidgeted with the blade again, it was relaxing and distracted him. "Do you wanna watch us train!?" Kai called out from further away, Nya and Jay looked at Vinny wanting to know an answer, "Umm...sure, why not? I don't have anything better to do" The cameraman responded receiving a thumbs up from Kai. "Okay, since you're watching you should sit over there because some us send things in random directions" Nya said before clearly looking at Jay who looked away embarrassingly, "Sorry" The lightning ninja chuckled out. Vinny nodded and sat over to where Nya told him, the cameraman could tell that when they started sparring again they were being much more careful.

Willow finished eating a got up, âIâm gotta leave nowâ she sighed out, causing Vinny to look up at her sadly. âDonât look at me like that I already feel badâ she chuckled.
âIf I donât get to see you again before I leave here I will dieâ The cameraman spoke, earning a louder laugh from the nature elemental.
âDonât worry Iâll comeâ She answered, âSomeone just needs to tell and if he doesnât I will never forgive himâ she continued as she stared at her brother, clearly talking to him.
âVery wellâŚâShancai sighed as he continued eating.
âIf anything happens tell meâ The cameraman spoke to her.
âObviouslyâ Willow laughed out, âAnd you need to tell me stuff tooâŚI need relationship updatesâ she added, receiving a soft nod and chuckle from Vinny. âIâll see you all in a few daysâ she spoke as he began walking off.
âByeâ The cameraman spoke as he waved, while Shancai just waved. They watched Willow slowly disappear and then just ate in silence. Shancai finished eating first though and got up, approaching the training equipment, âWhatcha doing?â Vinny asked curiously.
âJust fixing thisâ The prince answered as he tightened something on the spinner equipment. the cameraman nodded as he finished the rest of his food and drank some water. Shancai signalled for him to get up which he did. âYouâve seen this right?â
âYep, they have a lot of this stuff in the monasteryâ Vinny answered as he watched the prince do some stuff that the cameraman had no idea about.
âYou know about about fighting?â The prince questioned.
âI can punch and kick things thatâs itâŚI punched Enji onceâ The cameraman answered, he smiled at the memory of punching Enji.
âLetâs start with thisâ Shancai spoke as he went to the spinner equipment, itâs that one thing Nya broke in Seabound when Kai was worried about her. The cameraman paid close attention as the prince, spun the equipment. âWhen it spins around youâre gonna hit here and hereâ he pointed to two of the wooden logs pointing out.
Vinny nodded in response, âYouâre gonna block with your arm for this one, only way you can hit it is if youâre fast enoughâ the prince added, as he pointed to another small log. Shancai did a demonstration as it spun around, he punched the logs and blocked one.
As the cameraman watched, something shiny caught his attention from the corner of his eyes. As he looked at a box filled with weaponsâŚbut there was something a mix of gold and silver. Vinny walked over to the box and looked in it. He pulled two matching things.
âWhat you looking at?â Shancai asked as he walked over crouching next to Vinny. The cameraman held it up, âArm bracers, I donâr use thoseâ the prince answered, the arm bracers were pretty nice, a nice leather with a mix of gold and silver as well as a red gem that definitely wasnât ruby.
âItâs niceâ The cameraman spoke, as his eyes practically lit up and he admired it.
âYou want them?â The prince asked cashing Vinny to look at him surprisingly.
âI-I couldnâtâŚâ the cameraman spoke, he felt a little guilty at taking so much.
âI donât use them and neither does anyone elseâ Shancai spoke as he took the arm bracers and Vinnysâ arms as he began putting them on. âAnd you clearly hurt your arms a lotâ he added, causing the cameraman to blush embarrassingly.
âN-not my faultâ Vinny defended himself, as he allowed the prince to put the arm bracers on. âTheyâre really niceâŚâ he spoke up.
âThey areâŚIâve never been able to wear them without discomfortâ The prince answered, receiving an understanding nod from the cameraman. âYouâre welcome in our kingdom you know that?â Shancai asked curiously as he continued putting the arm bracers on Vinnysâ arms.
âY-yea?â The cameraman answered confusingly.
âYou have guilt when youâre given stuffâŚâ The prince spoke, âMy mother and sister trust youâŚI trust you, and youâre not seen as a guest to us, youâre seen as familyâ The prince added, Vinny smiled softly hearing that, he saw them as family just as much.
âThank youâŚâ The cameraman sighed, âYouâre all just constantly giving and I have nothing to give backâŚâ he confessed.
âYouâve helped usâŚknowing what Rida and Enji are doing where we canât see them is more than enoughâŚespecially after what youâve been put thoughâŚâ the prince answered, as he soothed Vinnysâ concerns. Shancai tightened the arm bracers, âDoneâŚâ
The cameraman stared at his arms, he really liked how they looked and they felt really nice, âI like itâ Vinny spoke happily as he smiled at the prince.
âGood, now theyâre yoursâ Shancai answered, as he watched the cameraman turned his arms and admire the arm bracers.
âThanksâ Vinny spoke happily, if he had a tail it would be wagging.
âYou like the cloak?â The prince asked, as he brought up the topic of the makeshift cloak.
âYep! Itâs really comfy and the pin keeps it togetherâ The cameraman answered, as he stood up with Shancai.
âThatâs goodâŚâ the prince sighed, âHowâs your wound?â He questioned once more.
âIt hurts a little, but itâs just like stinging pain nothing muchâ Vinny answered, âHowâs your stomach?â
âFineâ Shancai quickly answered.
âDonât bullshit meâ The cameraman spoke.
âItâs a little swollenâŚâ The prince confessed.
âShow meâ Vinny spoke, causing Shancai to sigh as he lifted up his shirt and undid the bandages. The cameramansâ eyes widened as he saw the bruise, it was a large bluish, purplish bruise than covered most of his stomach. âFucking hellâŚthat looks painfulâŚâ
âItâs fine, Iâve had worse beforeâ The prince answered.
âYea well that doesnât change the fact that it definitively hurtsâ Vinny sighed as he rubbed his temples.
âAre we training or not?â Shancai spoke, as he lowered his shirt, he clearly didnât like talking about his well-being.
âAlright alrightâ The cameraman sighed, as they went back to where they were training before, Vinny trying his best to lessen his concern for Shancai. The two kept secrets from others, more specifically when they got hurt. The cameraman didnât tell Garmadon while Shancai didnât tell his family.
They were an interesting dynamic, but got along. As Shancai continued to demonstrate the actions to the cameraman, he eventually gave Vinny a turn.
Another outfit for Adam with a heart behind ^^
Give him a lot of likes and reblog so heâll wear it!
my poor baby i hope he comes back as a sinner
i dont understand this show could have the funniest fucking jokes than something depressing happens like Lucifer said he was gonna fuck Adam next Nifty comes and kills him which was funny with how many times she stabbed him BUT THEN HE FUCKING SMILES AT LUTE WITH THE MOST PURE FUCKING SMILE LIKE THIS SHOW IS AN ENTIRE MOOD SWING
sooooooooooooooo...about your other ocs what's their personalities and is there a set place for them being introduced in the story???
Shancai, Deity and Willow is who I'm talking about also do they have powers and in another post you said you did concept art is it alright if you upload them, I would love to see how you envision your characters.
good question
The set place is called the Ivory Kingdom...a little place I made up and they live in the Ivory Palace that's all I'm saying.
Also Shancai and Willow are twins though their appearances aren't really close. Also WIllow and Deity call Shancai, Shanni. and Willow sometimes Sunny, or sunshine to make fun of his grumpy attitude
Shancai is very very serious and is more soldier type as well as smart and strong. He guards the palace with his life and has trust issues. Uptight and takes rules very seriously, main weapon is a spear and is extremely agile. ALSO he has vitiligo.
Willow is really laid back and kind, she doesn't really live in the palace and spends most time outside in forests. She might seem like she trusts you but that's to get you to trust her. Big fan of animals. No a fan of her brothers' uptight personality and how he will threaten trespasses or lost people with prison.
Deity the mother of the two twins and really calm and collected, the queen of the Ivory Kingdom, an absolute saint, loves BOTH her children equally. Really peaceful and keeps Shancai from taking the law too far, the punishments aren't bad but Shancai will take it a bit far. Will kill you if you harm her children really dangerous when she wants to.
They have powers but not what you think, other than probably one, won't talk too much about that.
The concept art? Maybe I'll upload it but I'm not the best artist and I have yet to draw Rida, due to complications with that STUPID FUCKING PHOENIX MASK AND ROBE also Shancai, Willow and Deity all have black scleras which is the white park of your eyeball and they all have gradient arms meaning they start one colour and fade into normal skin colour.
Shancai and Willow are both 24 and Deity is 45 and looks fucking amazing for her age
Most accurate depiction of people now days like the funny friend would be the most depressing shit alone while the quiet friend will act like an idiot alone
oh he is a FAKE bitch
(I suggest you check out parts 1-89 if you havenât already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
Vinnysâ eyes widened as he saw Rida, he hadnât expected this and reluctantly let go. He wasnât aware of what Rida was capable of and didnât want to know either and he also didnât trust him. âWhy so tense?â Rida spoke, the cameraman could practically feel the smile forming behind his mask.
âNo reasonâŚâ Vinny muttered as he put the dagger back in his pocket and stared at Ridasâ now, slightly cut arm. He turned around, facing his back to the taller man.
âNow now then, thatâs not how you treat friendsâ Rida chuckled as he took off his Phoenix mask and placed it to the side.
âWeâre not friendsâŚâ the cameramanâ grumbled as he sat on his bed and avoided staring at Ridasâ face, he was intimidating. Those bright orange eyes would burn holes into Vinnysâ head.
âWeâre not?â Rida asked with feigned curiosity as he turned his head to the side. âI heard about your little run in with Rushifa, fun was it?â He chuckled, the cameraman felt sick at the thought.
âWhy are you here?â Vinny suddenly asked, he was curious. Rida was an enemy of the kingdom and a pretty well known one so he definitely wasnât up to any good. âWasnât sending Enji here enough?â
âI wish it wasâ Rida groaned as he rubbed his temples, âHowever he wonât tell me anything, in hopes of protecting the princeâŚquite pathetic if you ask me, but he does most of what I tell himâ he confessed with a smile.
âSo Enji really does care about Shanni? Or Ridaâs fucking with meâŚâ Vinny thought to himself.
âNow then, how have you been?â Rida questioned as he began looking around the room.
âFine I guessâŚâ The cameraman muttered, he didnât want to talk to him, he didnât trust him at all. âAnd answer me, why are you here?â He repeated in a more assertive tone.
âTrying to control the situation doesnât suit youâ Rida spoke as he touched the bandage on Vinnysâ arm from the day before. âWho did this?â
âYouâre smart, figure it out yourselfâ the cameraman hissed as he pulled his arm away, Enji definitely kept secrets.
âAhâŚso he came here yesterday as well?â Rida chuckled to himself.
âAnswer me nowâ Vinny repeated for the third time, âYou shouldnât even be here, youâre not allowed in the kingdom, youâre sure as hell lucky I havenât ran outâ he added as he began fidgeting with the dagger.
âJust taking a look and making sure everythingâs in checkâ Rida answered as he pressed his finger against the cameramansâ cheek, digging his nail in.
âThe other dayâŚwhen you said Enji was getting something that was rightfully yours, it was that chest right?â Vinny asked as he harshly grabbed Ridasâ wrist and pulled it away from his face.
âEnji was rightâŚyou have become more short-temperedâ Rida chuckled, the cameraman looked at him in annoyance still waiting for an answer. âYes yes, it was that chestâ Rida sighed out as he rolled his eyes.
âAre you even royalty?â Vinny questioned as he cocked his head.
âWouldnât you like to knowâ Rida teased as he pulled his wrist back, âI take it that insufferable woman told you about this?â He hissed, clearly annoyed when talking about what was most definitely Deify. It reminded the cameraman of how Rushifa spoke of Willow.
âYes she did and sheâs not insufferableâ Vinny scowled at him, he didnât like someone badmouthing Deity, she was sweet.
âSheâs trapped you in her lies as well?â Rida questioned, laughter threatening to exit his mouth.
âLies?â The cameraman asked, he knew Deity had some secrets, but she definitely didnât hide anything that would be too serious. He couldnât blame her for having her own secrets.
âOh you silly silly personâ Rida spoke with feigned empathy as he bent over to Vinnysâ height and cupped his cheek. âYou couldnât possibly trust this kingdom more than me?â
âI can and I willâ the cameraman answered with a hiss, âSince you and Enji showed up my life has been hell!â He hissed as he looked up a Rida, before going quiet as he shivered as if a gust of wind had brushed over him. His eyes had gone darkâŚwith just bright orange eyes no emotion to them.
Vinny had only seen Deity, Shancai and Willow with those eyes, how then? How did Rida have them? And how did he hide them? Maybe he was being delusional maybe Rida was using some magic to fuck with him. The cameraman wanted to say something, but he felt his words get stuck in his throat.
âYou have grown quite a tongueâ Rida eventually chuckled out, breaking the silence and only seeming to make it more tense. âI suggest you distance yourself from here, would be a shame if something were to happen to this placeâŚâ
Vinny didnât know what to do or say, instead he stared at the ground. He wanted to cry. He didnât know why. He just always had pent up emotions now, either anger or sadness. âNow now then, tears donât suit that face of yoursâ Rida spoke clearly mocking him as he lifted his chin up.
âWhat the hell do you actually fucking want from me?â The cameraman hissed as his gaze darkened and he gripped Ridasâ hand tightly, catching him off guard.
âYouâll know in due to timeâ Rida replied as he tried pulling his hand back, only to have Vinny tighten his grip. âLet goâ he ordered.
âI want a fucking answer and I want it nowâ The cameraman threatened.
âIs that a threat?â Rida spoke, as a sadistic smile formed on his face. He was intrigued by this.
âItâs whatever you think it is assholeâ Vinny responded as he gripped the dagger with his free hand.
âI donât respond to threats well, thereâs a reason that snake is blindâ Rida confessed as he used his free hand to grip the cameramansâ wrist.
âMaybe sheâs the reason youâre fucking scarred up eh?â Vinny mocked as his pupils constricted. Saying that seemed to get a rise out of Rida as anger flashed in his eyes before dying down.
âPerhaps I should take you down there? First hand experience as one would say?â Rida replied causing the cameraman to take a shaky breath. âNothing else to say?â He asked smugly.
âI should fucking slit your tongue, youâre just as much as a snake as he-â Vinny was just off by being thrown across the room. âF-fuckâŚâ he groaned as he rubbed his back that hit the ground harshly.
âWould you like to repeat that please?â Rida hissed, âThe only reason she didnât tear you limb by limb was, because of meâŚperhaps I should let her eat you?â He asked.
âBetter than seeing your fucking face!â The cameraman scowled back, before groaning as he felt hands wrap around his throat.
âPerhaps I shouldâve let Enji kill you, no?â Rida chuckled out though clearly forced. âOr maybe I should let him kill your friends with you watching?â
Vinny growled hearing this before knocking Rida off of him, which took a lot of effort, heâs tall and much stronger. The cameraman grabbed the dagger which was sprawled across the floor and before he could think otherwise he drove the dagger into Ridasâ shoulder, earning a pain cry.
âWhy donât I fucking kill you?â The cameraman threatened as he pulled the dagger out and held it against Ridasâ neck.
âYou wouldnâtâ Rida painfully chuckled, as blood gushed from his arm.
âHow would you know?â Vinny hissed as he threatened to press the dagger in.
âYouâre too pathetic, imagine what your friends would say!â Rida answered, âI havenât done anything too bad so youâre practically killing a man for more than his crime, for yourself!â He cackled out.
The cameramansâ eyes widened as he began to think what the others would say. Rida was rightâŚthis was wrong, he shouldnât do this. But he deserved right? While Vinny was distracted by his thoughts Rida knocked him off of him and onto the ground.
âTry not to lose your sanity, this is beginning to get funâ Rida chuckled as he stood up, ignoring his arm which was profusely bleeding as he grabbed his Phoenix mask and put it on.
âGo fuck yourselfâ Vinny hissed, it was the first thing and the only thing he could say at the moment. His hands were covered in blood as he wiped his face accidentally rubbing it on his face.
âAlsoâŚI havenât done anything bad yet, that isâ Rida chuckled before another gush of wind brushed over Vinny as he shut his eyes before opening them and realising Rida was goneâŚThe cameraman sat on the ground, not knowing what to do, or wellâŚhe couldnât really move, his body felt numb.
âIâm really fucking crazyâ Vinny eventually laughed to himself as he held the dagger tightly before wiping the blood off with his hand. Was all this worth it? He should just tell everyone and be done with it. âIâm not fucking short-temperedâŚâ he grumbled to himself, he didnât want to believe it, but he knew heâs slowly became more agitated.
The cameraman was cut off by a knock on the door. âWho is it?!â Vinny shouted out, presuming it was Shancai.
âMeâ just as the cameraman expected it was the prince, Vinny sat there for a moment, he was covered in a blood and shirtless, but he couldnât careless.
âCome in! Door should be unlockedâ The cameraman called out, he ad forgotten to lock the door due to the events from before. The door opened with a creek as Vinny saw the prince stand there for a moment after he turned on the lights, he looked worried and was holding some clothes, clearly this old ones.
âWhat happened?â Shancai immediately asked as he put the clothes on the bed and rushed to crouch down next to the cameraman. âAre you hurt? Is it from your shoulder?â
âIâm fine, donât worryâ Vinny chuckled out, âNot my bloodâ
âThat does not lessen my concernâ Shancai spoke as he was about to grab the cameramansâ bloody hand.
âDonât get yourself dirty, you just showeredâ Vinny spoke as he pulled his arm away.
âThen tell me what happenedâ the prince repeated.
âRida cameâŚhe was a bit annoying and I may have wellâŚsort of stabbed his shoulder?â The cameraman nervously confessed, causing Shancai to stare at him in surprise.
âRida was here? What did he want? Are you sure he didnât hurt you?â The prince questioned once more.
âHe just was here like how Enji wasâŚto be an assâ Vinny sighed out, âI sort of threatened him then he brought up heâs the reason Rushifaâs blind so then I asked him if sheâs the reason heâs scarred just to mess with him then he threw me on the groundâ the cameraman sighed out.
âOhâŚoh wowâŚâ Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny who was chuckling softly. âYou should go shower before someone sees you like thisâŚâ
âYeaâŚI was gonna shower, but then he cameâ The cameraman sighed as he stood up as put the dagger back in the sheath.
âI have to go thoughâŚI can get someone to clean your room thoughâthe prince confessed.
âItâs fine, Iâll be with Deityâ Vinny answered as he stretched. âAnd I guess someone cleaning the floor would be niceâŚI doubt Iâll be able to clean blood properly
âIâll see you when I get back and Iâll find someone to clean thisâ Shancai sighed as he stood up, the cameraman nodded as he watched him leave, closing the door. Vinny locked the door and sighed, his life was fucked.
He went into the bathroom and grimaced as he looked at the mirror. His face was body was covered in blood. Who knew stabbing someonesâ shoulder this much caused this? Vinny emptied his pockets and swore to himself as he had forgotten he had that photo he found when he was checking that room with Shancai.
As much as he wanted to inspect the photo now, his hands were covered in blood and he didnât want to ruin it. So he simply put it to the side and glanced at it quickly. Vinnysâ eyes widened.
There were two kids in the photo, one looked like Shancai, but the other wasnât recognisable, he had short hair, a large smile with a missing tooth as his hand was swung over who Vinny presumed as Shancai.
The cameraman took a deep breath, he can think of this later right now he had to shower. Vinny took off his pants, he had already taken off his shirt before. He entered the shower and turned on the water letting out a sigh of relief as the blood dripped down his body.
Vinny splashed his face with water, he couldnât imagine how the others would react if they saw him covered in blood like this. And honestly he hated the way it felt on him. It was a quick shower nothing out of the ordinary other than a bunch of scrubbing.
Once he was done he wrapped a towel around his waist and went back into the bedroom, careful to not step on the blood as he began getting dressed. He had decided on wearing one of those old pants Shancai gave him, they were awfully comfy. He also just threw on some random shirt before he rubbed his hair with the towel.
After he finished with that he went back into the bathroom and began cleaning off the bloody dagger and cleaning the floor, it was best to clean as much as he could he didnât want to annoy the person cleaning the bedroom. Vinny wiped the floor in the bathroom before sighed as he stared at the ground in the bedroom.
As much as he wanted to clean it he was afraid of ruining something so he grabbed the photo from the bathroom and just sat on the bed. The cameraman began to observe the photo, he wanted to know who the other kid in the photo was. Maybe it was Enji? Shancai and Enji used to be friends beforeâŚ
They looked soâŚhappy together. Shancai had a soft smile on his face while Enji had their cheeks pressed against each other. âWhat happenedâŚ?â Vinny spoke to himself out loud. Maybe he can ask Deity later, for now he was snapped out of his thoughts by a knock on the door. So he quickly got up and opened the door.
A woman stood there, a soft smile on her face with a mop and other. She had a blue and brown eye, with light skin and black hair. âYouâre the one with the blood right?â The woman asked softly.
âUh r-rightâ Vinny spoke awkwardly, it was a bit embarrassing as he stepped the the side and let her in, she didnât seem fazed by the blood. âSorry for the messâŚâ he apologised as he sat on the bed.
âItâs no issue, the prince is no different from thisâ she chuckled in response.
âHe is?â The cameraman asked.
âYep, I donât mind itâ she answered.
âRightâŚâ Vinny spoke, there was this awkward silence, they both clearly didnât like conversations and didnât want to introduce themselves.
âYou can leave if you wantâ She spoke up, âI enjoy being aloneâ
âA-are you sure? I feel bad about the messâŚâ Vinny answered back.
âIâm sureâ she chuckled, âYou even sound like the prince, donât worryâ she comforted him.
âA-alrightâ the cameraman sighed, âIâll be with Deity if you need me just come get meâ he reluctantly spoke, as he shoved the dagger and photo in his pocket, she nodded and watched him leave.
Vinny felt a ton of relief now he wasnât in the room, so he decided to make his way to Deity, he had questionsâŚ
(I suggest you check out parts 1-29 if you haven't already and wooooo part 30!)
He wanted to tell Wu everything but he couldn't tell him that he just straight up stabbed the reflection. Wu sat there trying to process everything he just heard. "I have never heard something like this before...and how would it know about you and my brother and what happened between Misako" Wu said out curiously.
Vinny shrugged, "The first one you saw was wearing a robe and bird mask but the reflection was disguised as you?" Wu said trying to get something straight, Vinny nodded, "And you haven't told anyone?" Wu added earning another nod, "A-and I forgot to mention that the reflection wanted to help me in some way?" Vinny said nervously earning a surprised look from Wu.
"W-what's with the look?" Vinny said out nervously seeing the look, "From what I know when a unknown being says to help you they attempt to corrupt you and make you evil" Wu said out worriedly, hearing this made Vinny tense and look at Wu, he had so many things going through he mind right now.
"W-why would anyone want my help? I'm not special in any way" Vinny spoke out as he itched his hand. "I...am unsure, but please do tell me if this happens again and how did these being leave?" Wu asked, "W-well they just disappeared" Vinny responded.
"Interesting...I will see if my scrolls have anything similar to your descriptions and....did they do anything to you?" Wu spoke as he stood up and looked through his scrolls. "The reflection it grabbed my face a-and well...." Vinny said, he was nervous he wanted to tell him about the stabbing but didn't. "Vinny I assure you that you can trust me" Wu said in an attempt to comfort.
"Well it put a dagger in my hand and began threatening everyone saying that we should go after them first and then it said that it would make Garmadon feel miserable and that he hasn't changed and that he was a monster so then I used the dagger and fucking stabbed it in the chest a-and then it just pulled it out like nothing happened!" Vinny blurted out and slowly becoming more hysterical.
Wu stared at him worriedly and sat back down in front of him, "You stabbed it....calm down, I'm not judging you" Wu said as he helped Vinny breathe slower. "It's clearly real then, but it very clearly purposely wanted you to stab it as if...." Wu stopped talking as he went deeper into thought and looked away.
Vinny felt a wave of anxiety rush over him when Wu stopped talking, "A-as if what?" the cameraman asked, Wu looked up at him worriedly, "It's as if it's testing your worth and how far you go and how easy it would be to get you to harm someone" Wu said out worry present in his voice.
"Hah..." Vinny simply responded he was trying to mark how he really felt, "Well...tell me when you find anything about it...and thank you for the help" Vinny added as he stood up and left. Wu let him leave knowing he wasn't going through this easily, he looked out the room and saw Vinny smiling and laughing with Garmadon already.
