(I suggest you check out parts 1-45 if you haven't already)
Wu and Vinny made it to the library and they both sat down, "I would like to know what's happened between you and my brother" Wu said as he pour tea because he can't have a conversation without tea. "Me and Garmadon? N-nothing's happened between us" Vinny replied nervously as he avoided eye contact and itched his hand. Wu let out a sigh, "You don't have to tell me, but don't lie about it, it's very obvious something happened and when I was talking to him he mentioned that some words were exchanged between you two" Wu added as he sipped tea.
The cameraman looked like he was going to say something but instead went quiet and looked at the ground. "As I said...we don't have to talk about it, but I have another question" Wu said in a comforting tone. Hearing this caught Vinnys' attention and he looked at Wu. "It's about that...shadow thing...has it appeared lately?" Wu asked curiously, hearing this instantly made Vinny go could and his tense up. He wasn't ready to answer questions about Enji, he hardly knew him and all he's done so far is give him trauma and ruin his relationship with Garmadon. "Is everything alright?" Wu asked noticing the cameramans' tense stature.
"Hmm..? Yea, I'm fine the shadow thing hasn't appeared again, I just think I was hallucinating things at that point" Vinny lied not wanting to talk about Enji and how would be eve start talking about Rida. "Interesting...there is a chance you were hallucinating or maybe...a dream in a dream?" Wu suggested not catching onto the lie. "Yea it probably was...I've had dreams like that before" the cameraman lied again.
Wu looked back a Vinny and observed him, his eyes ended up landing on the bandage on his hand that was stabbed by Enji. "What happened to your hand?" Wu asked his voice tainted with slight worry. "O-Oh I just got cut by a razor, it's getting better and honestly I like the way the bandages feel on my hands" Vinny said, adding another lie. "A razor...this morning you were in quite a...mood...did you get any sleep last night?" Wu asked changing the topic. "Yea I slept" Vinny replied, it wasn't really a lie he did get sleep just not a lot of it.
"I...you can go now" Wu said calmly resisting the urge to ask something, the cameraman nodded and got up and left. he quickly paced towards his room not wanting to talk to anyone else. Vinny made it to his room and slumped on the bed. He had his faced planted into the bed and groaned before hearing footsteps. The cameraman thought the worse, "Enji if you're here just come out" Vinny groaned, a soft chuckle was heard as not Enji, but Rida instead emerged from a dark corner.
"O-Oh umm...Rida..." Vinny said out awkwardly.
(ya'll I think now's a good time to say that Enji had long fluffy hair that covers half his chest and when I say fluffy it's soft too also can someone tell me what Rida and Enji should be??? A couple, friends, one sided relationship???????)
(You should check out part 1-15 if you haven't already it will give a WHOLE lotta context on this story and yea Vinny is a virgin)
(THIS CHAPTER HAS IMPLIED SMUT IF UNCOMFORTABLE DNI ,YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
Garmadon kissed Vinny deeply keeping him pinned up against the wall he heard soft little whimpers from Vinny, he was honestly just extremely confident at the moment and didn't think much of what he was doing. Garmadon slid his tongue into Vinnys' mouth and causing the smaller to try and fight for dominance but his attempt was futile due to how submissive he was. Garmadon parted from the kiss multiple times giving Vinny some time to breathe. The larger grabbed the smaller before picking him up and wrapping his legs around his waist.
The oni parted from the kiss, "Your so fucking cute when you're like this~" Garmadon whispered into his lovers' ear in this dominant way earning a submissive whimper from the smaller. "G-Garm...we can't d-do this here...someone might s-see..." Vinny embarrassingly stuttered out looking away nervously. Garmadon didn't reply instead he began biting on the smallers' neck, Vinny was already covered in hickeys from the events prior. 'F-fuck..." Vinny quietly moaned out before covering his mouth with his hands, he trusted Garmadon enough not to drop him. Noticing this Garmadon grabbed Vinnys' hands and removed them from his mouth before lifting them above his head, "I want to hear your pretty little sounds~" The larger said in a more dominant voice and wrapping his lovers' hands around his neck.
Vinny obviously having no control of the situation obeyed it's not like he was complaining about this it was just that they were in a hallway and anyone could come and see them if he was at home with no one but the two of them he wouldn't be trying to stop this. Garmadon pressed his knee against his lovers' crotch earning a soft moan from him before he held onto Garmadon tightly hiding his face in the largers' shoulder. The larger smirked seeing this before letting go of the smaller and gently making him stand up again. "Well we can finish this later after all you wouldn't want to be caught, would you~?" Garmadon said out before licking his lips, winking at the smaller and walking away with a smirk on this face, "I...-" Vinny was speechless and completely embarrassed he couldn't believe it Garmadon did that to tease him. He covered his face embarrassingly and just stood there.
(END OF DA SMUT)
Lloyd and Nya walked into the hall and saw Vinny standing there his face was covered, "Hey umm, Vinny? You alright there?" Lloyd stuttered out curiously before the two walked over to him. Vinny stared up at them and the two both let out a choked laugh seeing how bright red he was, "W-whoa, what the hell happened to you? your face is as red as my brothers' gi" Nya said holding back a laugh while Lloyd was looking away laughing out loudly. "Lloyd I am generally about to kill your father" Vinny said out his face still bright red. Lloyd looked up at him before staring at Nya, "Oh and speaking ab out my father, I feel so betrayed that you didn't tell me that he was dating Vinny" Lloyd said out dramatically.
"Oh you know about that now, sorry" Nya chuckled out, "Anyway what did Garmadon do to you that made you look like a cherry" she added, Vinny blushed harder and covered his face. Lloyd observed Vinny before his eyes noticed bite marks on Vinnys' neck his eyes widened, " Did my dad give you hickeys!?" Lloyd shouted out surprisingly. Hearing that Nya laughed out and Vinny covered his face, "N-not so loud!" Vinny replied embarrassingly. Lloyd stood there not knowing whether to feel traumatised happy or scared. "Well well well looks like someone has been getting busy", Nya chuckled out. "
The two began teasing Vinny about this for a while. Unaware that Garmadon was hiding behind a wall smirking to himself, " This is going to be quite some fun today~" Garmadon thought to himself.
(OOOOOOO so yess there will be some smut but please excuse my shit writing of them i promise there not that bad and honestly the amount of times Vinny covered his face in this chapter is a bit tooooooo much but i hope you enjoy)
FACTSSSSSSS
Need a man who'll say my name the same way garmadon says "Vinny of NGTV news"
(I suggest you check out part 1 if you haven’t already Yea and Cyrus has a medical degree cause why not)
The journey back to Borg Tower was slow and painful they had to stop numerous times due to the fact of Acronixs’ leg, but they eventually made it and went up the ramp. “Y’know we could’ve just went to a hospital you don’t have to go through the extra worry of putting a cast on it”Acronix said while they were in the elevator. “Believe it’s further than here and you’d probably have to wait for a while before they check on you” Cyrus responded.
They both carefully went into this medical room (it was put there because the ninja go there multiple times) Cyrus told Acronix to put his leg out which he did and he took a quick X-ray showing that his leg had a severely broke. Cyrus let out a sigh as he began to apply the material circumferentially from the metatarsal joints to just distal to the fibulae head, overlapping the underlying layer by half of the width of the casting material. He smoothed out the casting material to fill in the interstices in the plaster, bond the layers together, and conform to the contour of the leg. (I researched this shit for you and I don’t even I understand it)
“There we all done” Cyrus said. Acronix is stared at him surprisingly, “Already? That was quick” he said. Cyrus nodded before rolling over to a closet and grabbing some clothes and handing it to Acronix, “I’ll leave you to change and shower he said pointing to a door”Cyrus said rolling over to the door and exiting the room.
Acronix stared at the clothes he was given, it was a maroon hoodie and some loose black sweatpants and of course other shit. Acronix limped to the bathroom turned on the shower before stripping down, Cyrus told him to keep his leg out of the water so he tried his best. He shampooed his hair letting the warm water drip down his body and scars from a few battles of his he scrubbed his body enjoying the comfort of warm water and the smell of mango soap filling his senses. After awhile Acronix left the shower wrapped in a towel he carefully got dressed when I came to the pants he carefully put them on around his leg when put on it was loose and comfy. He then noticed Cyrus gave him a white shirt to wear underneath the hoodie and put it on as well as the hoodie. He stared at the mirror for a moment, “This doesn’t look to bad..”Acronix thought to himself. (I had too much fun writing this paragraph and don’t judge the mango shampoo who doesn’t like mango)
Acronix saw some underarm crutches with a note from Cyrus telling him to use them he carefully used it and honestly didn’t mind the note also told him to come to the 99th floor which he did and found Cyrus working on something. “Whatcha doing?”Acronix asked this caught Cyrus off guard and caused him to flinch. Cyrus rolled around to look at Acronix and was going to say something until he saw how good he looked in those clothes. “You alright?”Acronix asked. Cyrus nodded before turning around again in an attempt to hide his blush. “ S-so how’s your leg feeling?”Cyrus asked still staring at the computer in front of him.
“Much better, still hurts slightly but it feels better, and thank you I’m really grateful for you helping me….”Acronix replied. Cyrus stared at him then smiled, “It’s no problem” Cyrus replied he quite happy to know Acronix was thankful for his help. Acronix moved closer to Cyrus wanting to see what he was doing, “I’m trying to figure what could’ve caused a time vortex to come out of no where because, you didn’t know what happened till after”Cyrus said causing Acronix to make a face of realisation.
“Umm..listen again I’m thankful for your help and i apologise about the whole ‘kidnapping and forcing you to make things’ problem”Acronix said. Cyrus let out a sigh, “Are you just going to keep on saying sorry to me” he chuckled out. “Maybe….”The former master of time replied in an embarrassed tone he honestly felt guilty about the whole thing.
“It’s fine really, I’ll forgive as long as you don’t try anything here”Cyrus replied. Acronix nodded before saying, “I let power and greed control me I should have done any of those things…”. Cyrus stared at him, “As far as I know you were in a time vortex for 40years and your brother made the snakes, kidnapped Ray and Maya and well made the plan”Cyrus replied. Acronix stood there for a while before Cyrus pointed to a beanbag near to him it was pretty much always empty due to Cyrus well…you know. Acronix sat grabbed the beanbag and sat next to him and they began talking eventually Acronix fell asleep and Cyrus went to his bed which wasn’t that far.
(I’m literally simping to the thought of Acronix wearing a maroon hoodie and sweatpants like nah bro it’s sounds so hot don’t judge me😂😂😂😂)
for the survivalshipping story was there any other plot lines you changed?????????
yeaaaaaaaaaaa in like part 3 i think, it wasn't meant to be Wu and Lloyd knocking at the door it was meant to be FUCKING HARUMI but I chnaged it last minute. I almost didn't add Enji and Rida, I didn't know how people would feel about ocs in the story
(I suggest you check out parts 1-89 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
Vinnys’ eyes widened as he saw Rida, he hadn’t expected this and reluctantly let go. He wasn’t aware of what Rida was capable of and didn’t want to know either and he also didn’t trust him. “Why so tense?” Rida spoke, the cameraman could practically feel the smile forming behind his mask.
“No reason…” Vinny muttered as he put the dagger back in his pocket and stared at Ridas’ now, slightly cut arm. He turned around, facing his back to the taller man.
“Now now then, that’s not how you treat friends” Rida chuckled as he took off his Phoenix mask and placed it to the side.
“We’re not friends…” the cameraman’ grumbled as he sat on his bed and avoided staring at Ridas’ face, he was intimidating. Those bright orange eyes would burn holes into Vinnys’ head.
“We’re not?” Rida asked with feigned curiosity as he turned his head to the side. “I heard about your little run in with Rushifa, fun was it?” He chuckled, the cameraman felt sick at the thought.
“Why are you here?” Vinny suddenly asked, he was curious. Rida was an enemy of the kingdom and a pretty well known one so he definitely wasn’t up to any good. “Wasn’t sending Enji here enough?”
“I wish it was” Rida groaned as he rubbed his temples, “However he won’t tell me anything, in hopes of protecting the prince…quite pathetic if you ask me, but he does most of what I tell him” he confessed with a smile.
“So Enji really does care about Shanni? Or Rida’s fucking with me…” Vinny thought to himself.
“Now then, how have you been?” Rida questioned as he began looking around the room.
“Fine I guess…” The cameraman muttered, he didn’t want to talk to him, he didn’t trust him at all. “And answer me, why are you here?” He repeated in a more assertive tone.
“Trying to control the situation doesn’t suit you” Rida spoke as he touched the bandage on Vinnys’ arm from the day before. “Who did this?”
“You’re smart, figure it out yourself” the cameraman hissed as he pulled his arm away, Enji definitely kept secrets.
“Ah…so he came here yesterday as well?” Rida chuckled to himself.
“Answer me now” Vinny repeated for the third time, “You shouldn’t even be here, you’re not allowed in the kingdom, you’re sure as hell lucky I haven’t ran out” he added as he began fidgeting with the dagger.
“Just taking a look and making sure everything’s in check” Rida answered as he pressed his finger against the cameramans’ cheek, digging his nail in.
“The other day…when you said Enji was getting something that was rightfully yours, it was that chest right?” Vinny asked as he harshly grabbed Ridas’ wrist and pulled it away from his face.
“Enji was right…you have become more short-tempered” Rida chuckled, the cameraman looked at him in annoyance still waiting for an answer. “Yes yes, it was that chest” Rida sighed out as he rolled his eyes.
“Are you even royalty?” Vinny questioned as he cocked his head.
“Wouldn’t you like to know” Rida teased as he pulled his wrist back, “I take it that insufferable woman told you about this?” He hissed, clearly annoyed when talking about what was most definitely Deify. It reminded the cameraman of how Rushifa spoke of Willow.
“Yes she did and she’s not insufferable” Vinny scowled at him, he didn’t like someone badmouthing Deity, she was sweet.
“She’s trapped you in her lies as well?” Rida questioned, laughter threatening to exit his mouth.
“Lies?” The cameraman asked, he knew Deity had some secrets, but she definitely didn’t hide anything that would be too serious. He couldn’t blame her for having her own secrets.
“Oh you silly silly person” Rida spoke with feigned empathy as he bent over to Vinnys’ height and cupped his cheek. “You couldn’t possibly trust this kingdom more than me?”
“I can and I will” the cameraman answered with a hiss, “Since you and Enji showed up my life has been hell!” 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 dark…with 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.
“You have grown quite a tongue” Rida eventually chuckled out, breaking the silence and only seeming to make it more tense. “I suggest you distance yourself from here, would be a shame if something were to happen to this place…”
Vinny didn’t know what to do or say, instead he stared at the ground. He wanted to cry. He didn’t know why. He just always had pent up emotions now, either anger or sadness. “Now now then, tears don’t suit that face of yours” Rida spoke clearly mocking him as he lifted his chin up.
“What the hell do you actually fucking want from me?” The cameraman hissed as his gaze darkened and he gripped Ridas’ hand tightly, catching him off guard.
“You’ll know in due to time” Rida replied as he tried pulling his hand back, only to have Vinny tighten his grip. “Let go” he ordered.
“I want a fucking answer and I want it now” The cameraman threatened.
“Is that a threat?” Rida spoke, as a sadistic smile formed on his face. He was intrigued by this.
“It’s whatever you think it is asshole” Vinny responded as he gripped the dagger with his free hand.
“I don’t respond to threats well, there’s a reason that snake is blind” Rida confessed as he used his free hand to grip the cameramans’ wrist.
“Maybe she’s the reason you’re fucking scarred up eh?” 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.
“Perhaps I should take you down there? First hand experience as one would say?” Rida replied causing the cameraman to take a shaky breath. “Nothing else to say?” He asked smugly.
“I should fucking slit your tongue, you’re just as much as a snake as he-“ Vinny was just off by being thrown across the room. “F-fuck…” he groaned as he rubbed his back that hit the ground harshly.
“Would you like to repeat that please?” Rida hissed, “The only reason she didn’t tear you limb by limb was, because of me…perhaps I should let her eat you?” He asked.
“Better than seeing your fucking face!” The cameraman scowled back, before groaning as he felt hands wrap around his throat.
“Perhaps I should’ve let Enji kill you, no?” Rida chuckled out though clearly forced. “Or maybe I should let him kill your friends with you watching?”
Vinny growled hearing this before knocking Rida off of him, which took a lot of effort, he’s 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 Ridas’ shoulder, earning a pain cry.
“Why don’t I fucking kill you?” The cameraman threatened as he pulled the dagger out and held it against Ridas’ neck.
“You wouldn’t” Rida painfully chuckled, as blood gushed from his arm.
“How would you know?” Vinny hissed as he threatened to press the dagger in.
“You’re too pathetic, imagine what your friends would say!” Rida answered, “I haven’t done anything too bad so you’re practically killing a man for more than his crime, for yourself!” He cackled out.
The cameramans’ eyes widened as he began to think what the others would say. Rida was right…this was wrong, he shouldn’t do this. But he deserved right? While Vinny was distracted by his thoughts Rida knocked him off of him and onto the ground.
“Try not to lose your sanity, this is beginning to get fun” Rida chuckled as he stood up, ignoring his arm which was profusely bleeding as he grabbed his Phoenix mask and put it on.
“Go fuck yourself” 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.
“Also…I haven’t done anything bad yet, that is” Rida chuckled before another gush of wind brushed over Vinny as he shut his eyes before opening them and realising Rida was gone…The cameraman sat on the ground, not knowing what to do, or well…he couldn’t really move, his body felt numb.
“I’m really fucking crazy” 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. “I’m not fucking short-tempered…” he grumbled to himself, he didn’t want to believe it, but he knew he’s slowly became more agitated.
The cameraman was cut off by a knock on the door. “Who is it?!” Vinny shouted out, presuming it was Shancai.
“Me” 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 couldn’t careless.
“Come in! Door should be unlocked” 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.
“What happened?” Shancai immediately asked as he put the clothes on the bed and rushed to crouch down next to the cameraman. “Are you hurt? Is it from your shoulder?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry” Vinny chuckled out, “Not my blood”
“That does not lessen my concern” Shancai spoke as he was about to grab the cameramans’ bloody hand.
“Don’t get yourself dirty, you just showered” Vinny spoke as he pulled his arm away.
“Then tell me what happened” the prince repeated.
“Rida came…he was a bit annoying and I may have well…sort of stabbed his shoulder?” The cameraman nervously confessed, causing Shancai to stare at him in surprise.
“Rida was here? What did he want? Are you sure he didn’t hurt you?” The prince questioned once more.
“He just was here like how Enji was…to be an ass” Vinny sighed out, “I sort of threatened him then he brought up he’s the reason Rushifa’s blind so then I asked him if she’s the reason he’s scarred just to mess with him then he threw me on the ground” the cameraman sighed out.
“Oh…oh wow…” Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny who was chuckling softly. “You should go shower before someone sees you like this…”
“Yea…I was gonna shower, but then he came” The cameraman sighed as he stood up as put the dagger back in the sheath.
“I have to go though…I can get someone to clean your room though”the prince confessed.
“It’s fine, I’ll be with Deity” Vinny answered as he stretched. “And I guess someone cleaning the floor would be nice…I doubt I’ll be able to clean blood properly
“I’ll see you when I get back and I’ll find someone to clean this” 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 someones’ 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 didn’t want to ruin it. So he simply put it to the side and glanced at it quickly. Vinnys’ eyes widened.
There were two kids in the photo, one looked like Shancai, but the other wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 before…
They looked so…happy together. Shancai had a soft smile on his face while Enji had their cheeks pressed against each other. “What happened…?” 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. “You’re the one with the blood right?” The woman asked softly.
“Uh r-right” Vinny spoke awkwardly, it was a bit embarrassing as he stepped the the side and let her in, she didn’t seem fazed by the blood. “Sorry for the mess…” he apologised as he sat on the bed.
“It’s no issue, the prince is no different from this” she chuckled in response.
“He is?” The cameraman asked.
“Yep, I don’t mind it” she answered.
“Right…” Vinny spoke, there was this awkward silence, they both clearly didn’t like conversations and didn’t want to introduce themselves.
“You can leave if you want” She spoke up, “I enjoy being alone”
“A-are you sure? I feel bad about the mess…” Vinny answered back.
“I’m sure” she chuckled, “You even sound like the prince, don’t worry” she comforted him.
“A-alright” the cameraman sighed, “I’ll be with Deity if you need me just come get me” 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 wasn’t in the room, so he decided to make his way to Deity, he had questions…
Beautiful
Once more for those in the back.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-48 if you haven't already)
Vinny was in his room for the rest of the day talking to Rida, no one really bothered him sure there would be the occasional knock and offer of food, other than that no one came. It was now night and Vinny let out a tired yawn, truth was he really needed a goodnights sleep, Rida let out a chuckle, "Looks like you should get some rest" The orange eyed man spoke out.
"Y-yea, I guess I should...Enji's been messing with me, I haven't gotten a good sleep for a few days..." The cameraman replied as he stretched out, "Then I'll leave you to it...and no need to worry Enji won't be coming today" Rida spoke calmly as he stood up and helped Vinny off the ground. The cameraman smiled clearly liking the fact he won't have to deal with Enji and could get some sleep.
"I'll be seeing you tomorrow, right?" The orange eyed man asked as he looking at Vinny intently, "Yea...9:30 here..." The cameraman replied as he took off his jacket and ran his hand through his hair clearly sleep deprived. "Very well sleep well..." Rida spoke before disappearing, Vinny was a little surprised at the way Rida just disappeared but he shrugged it off he was too tired to think.
"Fuck...a shower would be nice..." The cameraman mumbled to himself as he got sat on the bed. Vinny sat there for 10 minutes thinking about literally nothing. Eventually the cameraman snapped out of it and stood up he got some clean clothes ready and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Vinny then stripped of his clothing and turned on the shower. Before he entered he took off the bandages on his hand and foot and remembered to take the dagger out of the pocket of his pants.
The cameraman then entered the shower and let out a sigh of relief, the water was warm and comforting Vinny wanted to sleep in there but he knew he couldn't. The cameraman reached to get something, but noticed his hand, a stab wound and burn marks. "I'm surprised I haven't lost this hand yet..." Vinny mumbled as he winced slightly in pain at the water touching his hand. "I should get this checked out...probably by Zane..." He added, the truth was his hand looked like shit and the cameraman was worried it might get infected along with his foot.
Vinny decided to keep his hand out of the water as much as he could, but went he started to shampoo his hair the soap on the cuts hurt like hell, "God damnit..." The cameraman hissed in pain, he was trying his best to bare with it but it was becoming unbearable. "This shit needs stitches..." Vinny thought as he leaned against the wall, of the shower, the steam on his body felt nice, it fogged up the shower and mirror of the bathroom as well. The mirror being fogged made the cameraman feel better, it was probably, because of how many times Enji came out of it. Rida told Vinny, Enji wouldn't come but he was still a little paranoid.
Vinny felt a little dizzy and put his hand on his head. "What the hell...?" The cameraman mumbled, it was no surprise Vinny felt dizzy he was sleep deprived and probably hasn't had a proper meal. The cameraman quickly finished the shower, if he was going to pass out there was no way it would be in the bathroom. Vinny dried himself off and put on his clothes, he was wearing shorts and a shirt. After getting dressed Vinny lied down on his bed and groaned, he was so tired and worried about Garmadon, he probably was safe but Vinny was still worried he wanted his love next to him.
The cameraman tossed and turned trying to fall asleep but he couldn't after an hour of this he eventually drifted off.
(This is before Dragons Rising and so is everything else)(after crystallisation but Garmadon didn’t plant Christofern and kept him)
(Go check out 1-3 if you haven’t)(so yea I decided to continue cause I’m invested Yea…enjoy!)
The very next morning Vinny woke up to the sound of knocking it took him a moment to process his surroundings but he quickly realised it was the door. He carefully slid out of Garmadons’ grasp not wanting to wake him up and opened the door.
“Oh! Hey Lloyd”Vinny said surprisingly as he saw Lloyd standing there with Master Wu. “Hi…Vinny”Lloyd responded. “Here c’mon in you two just stay a little bit quiet Garmadon’s sleeping” Vinny said as he welcomed the two into the apartment.
The two entered the apartment and saw Garmadon on the couch fast asleep. “So what can I do for you two?”Vinny asked in a quiet tone, even though Garmadon is a heavy sleeper there’s no shame in taking extra precautions. Master Wu turned to Lloyd only to see him eyeing Christofern, Garmadons’ plant.
Master Wu let out a sigh at his nephews’ stubbornness before turning back to Vinny. “We’re here, because we wanted my brothers’ help, we need Lloyd to get better control of his oni form as he has been in a bit of a…mood I suppose…this has caused his to lash out a few times, and my brother has full control over his form” Wu said.
“I’m not in a mood…”Lloyd mumbled “and I have full control of myself!”he yelled, this didn’t go quite well as his hands had this purplish smoke emitting from it, proving the whole point.
Vinny let out a soft chuckle before turning his attention over to Garmadon who was still sleeping, but now clinging onto Vinnys’ arm. “Well I guess he could teach you, but didn’t the last time he tried teaching Lloyd how to control go horrible and didn’t even work?” Vinny questioned.
“That’s because he didn’t teach me properly, and how do you even know?” Lloyd replied his voice clearly annoyed, while Wu was staring at how calm Vinny was to being held by his brother. “Well after the defeat of the Overlord, he told me everything that happened” Vinny replied
“That is quite fascinating that he would tell you everything” Wu responded he was extremely interested in hearing the relationship between the two. “Well I guess since he came here we’ve grown closer” Vinny replied he was hiding blush on his face from the events of yesterday it was true though they really did grow closer.
“What do you think of him…?”Lloyd fully on asked with no context at all causing both Master Wu and Vinny to look at him. “W-what do you mean?”Vinny questioned. Lloyd was sitting there his arms crossed, wanting an answer.
“I wanna know what you think of my father” Lloyd repeated. Vinnys’ face turned bright red. “I-I uh..well umm..”Vinny didn’t know what to say he was a stuttering mess. “I want an answer” Lloyd said he was getting impatient. Master Wu could easily stop this but he was quite interested in knowing how Vinny thought about his brother.
Vinny was going to say something when Garmadon woke up and yawned. “Oh thank the FSM…”Vinny mumbled. Garmadon turned his attention from Vinny to his brother and son, it took him a minute to process things until he said, “Why the fuck are they here..?”
“Well Lloyd’s apparently losing control of his oni form and he needs your help to control it.”Vinny replied looking at Garmadon. Lloyd wasn’t looking at his father but the opposite direction, “I don’t need his help, I don’t have a choice it’s either that or possibly turn evil” Lloyd said started to lose his temper a bit.
Master Wu really wasn’t going to let Lloyd go about his life when he doesn’t have much control. “Brother I understand that last time you attempted to teach Lloyd how to control his oni form didn’t go as planned, but be as it may Lloyd may become corrupted if he doesn’t learn how to control it…”Wu said.
Garmadon stares at Vinny before letting out a sigh, “Very well I shall help….on one condition though”Garmadon replied. “Whatever your condition is it is accepted as we need Lloyd to control” Wu said.
“Vinny may come and stay with us that is my only condition” Garmadon replied. Vinny turned red hearing this then covered his face he was embarrassed that the only condition was for Vinny to stay with him. “Very well brother” Wu agreed, he was definitely going to allow this as he has seen the relationship between the two, on the other hand Lloyd was confused.

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…
