Vinny laid on his bed for a while before there was a knock at the door, “Come in!” He called out before sitting up as the door creaked open, Willow was there.
“Sorry for the intrusion! But, Shanni had to go on patrol again, he told me leave you for a while before coming to get you, so my mum can check on your arm…she also wants to ask a few questions about Rida and Enji” Willow spoke, her voice wasn’t as happy as before, it was clear she felt bad for Vinny.
“Patrol? It’s getting dark though” The cameraman spoke, as he got up from the bed and looked out the window.
“Trust me, I know, but he’s just like that” The nature elemental spoke, as she wrapped on arm around Vinnys’ neck and walked him out of the room closing the door behind her.
“Is…everyone else settled in?” The cameraman questioned.
“Yea, they’re all doing well, can I ask something?” She replied, Vinny nodded in response. “Y’know the tall one? Garmadon was his name? Are you and him dating?” Willow questioned.
Vinny blushed, “I-I uhh, where’d you get that idea from?” He asked awkwardly as he looked away.
“Aww! You are! That’s cute, but did you two have a fight?” She questioned once more.
“I…yea…my attitude started changing after I met Enji…he noticed and constantly asked me questions and then we had a small fight…” The cameraman replied, his voice hinted with sadness.
“Oh…” She spoke, “Hey, don’t worry! We’re gonna help fix this” She spoke as she tried to comfort him.
“How…? I’ve constantly lied…and hell I’m the reason we’re here!” Vinny replied, Willow turned her head to the side curiously.
“How exactly did you get here?” The nature elemental questioned.
“Yesterday, Rida accidentally left an enchanted mirror shard, when Enji came to me, I asked him about it. He said it was faulty and didn’t work properly and then this morning I was looking at it and then the ground warped and we ended up here…” Vinny sighed.
“Oh wow…you’ve got it bad…my mum’s knows more about enchanted objects then me, be sure to ask her anything you’re curious about” Willow spoke as they stopped outside a room.
“Yea I will…and, can you tell me where you’ll be…I might wanna come find you after” Vinny spoke, she smiled to him.
“I’ll probably be in the garden, it’s just down that way down the stairs” she answered happily, as she opened the rooms’ door and waved to Deity who was on the ground.
Vinny nodded in response before walking in, “Willow, if you’re brother’s not back in an hour go get him for me” Deity spoke softly, Willow nodded in response before closing the door and leaving.
Deity patted the floor, signalling Vinny to come and sit next to her. The cameraman did as he was signalled and sat down, “She told you why I needed to see you?” She questioned, Vinny nodded in response.
She held out her hand, silently asking for permission to see Vinny’ arm. The cameraman carefully extended his arm to her, wincing as he did, he couldn’t really straighten it. Deity gently took off the makeshift jacket arm sling and put the jacket to the side.
“It’s swollen…” She spoke softly as she gently squeezed the swollen arm, Vinny nodded in response, “Here…” she added as she handed a plate of food to him.
“N-no I’m not hungry really” The cameraman spoke, he was lying he was really hungry, but it was just how he reacted he politely rejected.
“I have kids, I can tell when they’re hungry” she chuckled as she offered the plate once more, this time Vinny took it.
“T-thank you” The cameraman sighed, as he rested the plate on his lap and ate with one hand while the other one was observed. It tasted delicious, probably, because he hasn’t eaten all day, but it was still delicious.
Deity moved his arm in a certain way that made him wince, “Sorry” she apologised, with slight guilt, Vinny gave her a soft smile in return.
“It’s broken…” She spoke.
“You can tell just by looking at it?” He asked curiously.
“I have a unique ray of abilities alongside my magic” She chuckled before she began putting something on his arm, most likely a cast.
“Can I ask some questions dear?” She asked softly, Vinny nodded.
“Willow told me…that Enji took a chest and key, can you describe it for me?” Deity questioned,
“Yea…it was a small chest, armoured too, it had a flower design? Like the kingdoms’ one and some did the key” Vinny replied, causing Deity’s breathe to hitch. “Is something wrong?” He asked worriedly.
“That chest is hidden for a reason…” Deity sighed, stress evident on her face.
“Is it dangerous?” Vinny questioned.
“Not to others…but to the kingdom yes” She replied, the cameraman looked at her with confusion evident on his face. “You can’t tell anyone till I’m cause what it is…” she added, Vinny nodded.
“I swear I won’t tell anyone” He spoke.
“Good…the kingdom’s life force is in it…if that force is destroyed then so is the kingdom…” Deity spoke, her voice dropping to a whisper just as loud as Vinny could hear.
“O-oh…” the cameraman spoke, his eyes widening, “What could they want with it…?”
“Just Rida…He’s been trying to destroy the kingdom for years…” she replied, “Though unlocking the chest is interesting…”
“How?” He questioned.
“Rida already knows how…but you need the family blood…mine, my kids and…” she voice abruptly stopped as her expression saddened, “and…my husband…” she eventually continued.
Vinnys’ expression softened, he hadn’t heard any mentions of her husband before, Willow and Shancai never mentioned their father before either. “Your husband…is he-?” The cameraman hesitantly asked, but didn’t finish the sentence.
“I…I don’t know…my kids don’t know him…” Deity confessed as her voice broke.
“Was he…nice?” Vinny questioned.
“Nice…he was more that nice…he was an angel, I loved him…” she spoke quietly, Vinny put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
“What was he like…?” He asked as he relaxed next to her, wanting her to become more comfortable.
“He was brave…a lot like Shancai…except, he was more lively…Shancai got his vitiligo from him…” She spoke, she seemed to love her husband a lot.
“He sounds nice…” Vinny spoke.
“Enough about me…what about you and your friends? What are they like?” Deity questioned, seemingly wanting to get her mind off her husband.
“They’re nice and outgoing, brave too…I wish I could tell them about all this…” Vinny sighed.
“I understand dear…I keep secrets from my kids…ones that would possibly ruin our relationship…though yours is a different case…they’ll probably find out eventually…” She spoke.
“I-I know…but I c-can’t not yet…I don’t want them getting h-hurt…Enji…he always threatens them, and it’s k-killing me…” Vinny whimpered as his voice broke, Deity’s expression softened as he pulled Vinny into a hug.
“I know dear…I know…” she spoke in a comforting tone as she affectionately rubbed Vinnys’ back…her touch was motherly…
“I-I…wanna keep them safe…but it’s ruining me…” He whimpered as he held onto her tightly.
“And it would’ve kept ruining you if you were alone…” She spoke, as she stroked his hair, “You have me, Shancai and Willow…you don’t have to keep secrets…we won’t let anyone do anything to you or your friends…” she added, her voice was so comforting…she didn’t sound like there was a double secret in her words like Rida…
His tears began to stream down his cheeks as he began to cry, he was a broken man…his sanity slowly deteriorating away the more he saw Enji…
“You’re tired…rest dear…” she comforted him, letting him let our choked sobs before his eyes drooped down and he passed out.
She sighed softly, “Rest now…you deserve it…” she whispered as she stood up and picked him up, taking him to his room and gently putting him on the bed.
“You remind me of my kids….” She whispered to herself as he looked down at him before leaving and closing the door.
(DEITY IS SUCH A MOTHER)

The day went by quickly, Deity and Vinny talking about random stuff while Vinny grew more comfortable sitting there. Eventually he was sitting on the beanbag upside down, Deity seemed happier that she got some stuff off her chest.
“Oh my” She spoke up, catching Vinnys’ attention, “It’s evening already” she chuckled out.
“Seriously?” The cameraman asked curiously, as he sat up and stared out the window, just as she said it was evening, and he honestly didn’t feel tired at all. “That went by quickly” he added.
“Sure did” Deity laughed out as she rolled up the scrolls, “I haven’t found answers to what I was looking for” she sighed out, as she rubbed her temples.
“I’m sure you’ll find it eventually” Vinny spoke to her comfortingly, “Maybe Rida’s just as confused and trying to find a substitute for it”
“Maybe…” she sighed, “I just feel like when I find out it’ll be too late…” she added quietly, as she stared out into the window down upon the kingdom.
“Hey…it’ll be fine..I promise…” The cameraman spoke, as he gave her a soft smile and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
“Thank you dear…” she sighed, “Do you wish to stay fro the night again?” She questioned.
“Nah…I’ll give you some alone time” Vinny replied.
“You really should eat dear” Deity spoke up, “At least one thing…an apple or something…”
“I…I know…” The cameraman whispered, “I will say something…I swear” he added, before getting up and stretching.
“Very well…I’ll see you tomorrow” She sighed as she nodded and followed Vinny to the door.
“Yea…keep my updated if you found what you were looking for” Vinny spoke, receiving a soft nod, “Bye” he added before leaving, waving at her softly, Deity waved back and watched him walk about, before retreating back into her room.
Vinny hummed to himself as he walked down the halls, he was in a better mood and hoped he wouldn’t jinx this and then the most horrifying thing happens, he laughed out loud at the thought, anxiously stroking a hand through his messy hair.
“Man I’ve lost it…” he spoke out loud to himself as he looked at the ground, with a slightly hysteric smile.
“Hey Vinny!” A familiar voice called out from behind Vinny, he instantly swung his head back and a smile appeared on his face, Lloyd.
“Hey” The cameraman waved as he stopped walking allowing Lloyd to catch up. “Something up?” He asked.
“Nope, just wanted to check on you, no one’s seen you all day, we asked Willow she said you were with Deity” Lloyd replied as he walked next to him.
“Yea I was…just talking to her asking questions and stuff…” Vinny spoke to him as they began walking.
“Where you off to now?” Lloyd asked.
“Maybe my room or gonna grab something to snack on” The cameraman replied, receiving a soft nod, “Hey…umm did Garmadon feel you-?” He cut himself off, wondering if Lloyd knew what he was talking about.
“Y-yea…he did…” Lloyd confessed, “Are you…doing alright with it?” He questioned worriedly.
“I’ve been better…but I’m faring better with it than yesterday” Vinny replied as his expression softened.
“Yesterday…was a rough day right…?” Lloyd asked, hesitance evident in his voice, Vinny let out a shaky sigh.
“Yea…a lot of things happened…” The cameraman confessed quietly as he looked at the ground.
“Well I personally think you’re dealing with everything amazingly” The green ninja spoke, attempting to comfort him.
“Sure thing kid” Vinny chuckled out, as he ruffled Lloyd’s hair. “What are you up to anyway?”
“Nothing much, just wandering…this palace is huge, every time I checked the whole place out there’s more” Lloyd answered.
“Yea…it is a big place, really nice too” The cameraman answered, receiving a nod from Lloyd, “I’ll see you later”
“Yep, see ya” Lloyd spoke, before going off to his own direction. Vinny let out a sigh, who knew social interaction was so tiring.
The cameraman walked down the halls and paused when he saw Shancai fixing his armour, while his spear was rested against the wall. “Where you off to?” Vinny questioned, as he turned his head to the side. The prince looked like he was about to leave and it was fairly late.
“Patrol” Shancai replied bluntly, as he picked up his spear.
“Isn’t it a little late?” The cameraman questioned.
“There’s night markets today…normally Willow would take care of patrolling the area, since she likes loud places, but she isn’t in the best mood so I’m taking care of it…” Shancai answered as he looked at Vinny, “Plus, I haven’t had much fights in a while, I’ll get weak if I don’t” he added.
“Can I come?” The cameraman blurted out without thinking, he did wanna go, he was bored and not really that tired.
“If you want to…however if you wish to stay on my speed I suggest you change into something more…athletic” Shancai spoke as he pointed to Vinnys’ clothing.
“I don’t think there’s anything else in the closets” The cameraman answered.
“Follow me” The prince spoke as he walked down the familiar hallways to his room before opening the door.
“Whatcha looking for?” Vinny questioned as he stared at Shancai, who was going through his closet for something.
“I have old clothes that would most likely fit you” The prince answered, before grabbing a pair of pants and a loose shirt. “Try them on in the bathroom” he added, as he pointed to the bathroom, receiving a nod from Vinny, who took the clothes and went in the bathroom.
The cameraman quickly changed into the clothes, they fit quite well, he also remembered to put the dagger in that pocket. “Fits well” he spoke, as he came back out of the bathroom.
“Good” The prince spoke, before leaving the room, followed by Vinny, “The markets are a busy place, you can get lost so stay close to me”
“Does anything dangerous normally happen?” The cameraman asked.
“Not necessarily, occasionally some burglary and drunken fights, but sometimes it’s more than a drunk fight and people are trying to kill each other” Shancai answered, as he continued to walk.
“Great” Vinny spoke sarcastically, as they walked. They walked in silence before he noticed someone from the corner of his eye. The cameraman turned his attention down that hall and let out a shaky sigh as he saw Garmadon.
The oni seemed curious as to where Vinny was going, and seemingly tried to signal him over, the cameraman reluctantly nodded, “Hey, Shancai…can you give me a minute? Gotta do something” Vinny asked, the prince looked at him curiously then realised Garmadon.
“I’ll wait outside” Shancai spoke as he walked out., Vinny nodded and went over to Garmadon.
“What’s up?” The cameraman asked as if nothing was wrong.
“Where are you going?” Garmadon asked, his voice was slightly worried.
“Just gonna go to the markets, I’ll be fine…” Vinny sighed out, as he bit his lip anxiously once his hand was held by Garmadon.
“Just…come back here and get some sleep” the oni spoke, as he rested on hand on Vinnys’ cheek, causing him to flush slightly.
“I…I will…” the cameraman answered quietly as he looked up at Garmadon. It all happened so quick…Garmadon just pressed his lips against Vinnys’…it’s been a while since this has happened…
The kiss wasn’t unwelcome though, Vinny welcomed it warmly as he kissed back, he missed this. As they parted from the kiss, the cameraman stared up at the oni, both their faces slightly flushed.
Before Vinny could say anything Garmadon walked off, leaving Vinny blushing like a high school girl, “What just happened?” He whispered to himself as he hid his face in his hands. He felt better.
Once he recovered from the shock he went out to Shancai and saw him standing there, staring out to the sky. “Everything alright?” The prince questioned, receiving a soft nod from Vinny.
“E-everything’s great…” The cameraman shakily sighed out, as he tried to hide his blush.
“Ohh, I see” Shancai spoke, noticing Vinnys’ blush, before they began walking down the stairs and down a path towards the markets.
(I was happy today)

(With Deity)
Deity had checked out what the maids told her about, turns out Rushifa, cursed a plant and it was attacking. Nothing a little magic couldn’t fix. Deity was on her way back to her room, she enjoyed talking to Vinny. He was sweet, but just had the worse luck ever.
She was a little surprised when she made it back to her room and saw the door wide open, she cocked her head to the side as she looked it. It was empty. Vinny wasn’t in sight at all. Maybe he went to his room to grab something? Deity checked the bathroom, but there was no one in there either.
She went back out her room and it’s then when she noticed glowing dust on the ground. “Strange” Deity spoke out loud to herself as she began following it. Was Vinny safe? No idea. But she really hoped for the best. The dust led to Vinnys’ room, which was also wide open.
Deity hesitantly entered and noticed the window wide open too, and the dust trailing onto the bed. “Vinny?” She called out, as she knocked on the bathroom door. No answer. She hesitantly opens the bathroom door. Empty.
“Maybe he bumped into one of his friends?” Deity spoke to herself as she exited the room and began searching for the ninja. “Please be alright…” she whispered, trying to reassure herself.
“Deity?” A voice called out, Deity whipped her head around, Nya.
“Hello dear” Deity spoke, giving her a forced smile, before she stopped and turned back to the water ninja.
“You alright?” Nya asked worriedly, noticing Deitys’ tense stature.
“You wouldn’t by any chance have seen Vinny have you?” Deity worriedly asked.
“Not at all” the water ninja replied curiously, “Why is something wrong?” She asked, failing ti hide the worry that forced its way into her voice.
“It’s just that we were talking and I had to do something, now he’s not in my room or his room” Deity answered, “Maybe I’m overthinking it…” she shakily sighed as she rubbed her head.
“Maybe he went to your son? We can go check with the others if he’s with them” Nya spoke, she was trying to reassure Deity and herself.
“That would be nice, thank you dear” Deity sighed out, “And he can’t be with Shancai, he went on patrol, that’s why I was with Vinny” she confessed, receiving an understanding nod from the water ninja as the two began quickly walking down the halls.
The others were all sitting in this one room, it was like a lounge room. Kai, Jay, Zane and Pixal were talking while Cole and Lloyd were on their phones. “Oh hey Nya!” The lightning ninja spoke out happily as he waved at her.
“Hey” the water ninja sighed, while Deity looked at the ground. Zane, Pixal and Lloyd must’ve noticed the tense sate of the two, as curiosity brightened in their eyes.
“What’s up?” The green ninja asked, slight worry tainting his voice.
“Has anyone seen Vinny?” Nya questioned, causing the others to perk up.
“No? We’ve all been here for the past hour and a half” Kai answered as he cocked his head, wondering why his sister would ask this.
“Fuck…” The water ninja muttered as he rubbed her temples.
“Did something happen to him?” Zane questioned, as they all listened intently.
“Vinny sort of disappeared after Deity left him alone for a few minutes, and he’s not in his room, not with Shancai…so we’re seeing you anyone has seen him” Nya confessed, causing the others’ jaws to drop.
“Can he not get a break?” Cole asked, “Dumb question, but do you think he went back into the forest again?” He added.
“Trust me…he would never go back in there” Deity spoke, she was confident with her words…after what Rushifa did to him last time? Never again.
“Shall we all look around the palace?” Pixal questioned.
“That would be amazing…we’re gonna go find Master Wu and Garmadon” The water ninja spoke, as she turned around to the door.
“Alright then…guess we can all just hope he’s alright” the fire ninja sighed as he got up.
“He better be alright” Lloyd spoke, receiving nods from the others. Nya and Deity turned around leaving the room, as they began looking around the spinjitzu brothers.
“Where do you think he could’ve went?” Nya asked.
“Not sure…but there was this glowing dust leading from my room all the way to his room” Deity confessed.
“This is so weird” the water ninja sighed, receiving a nod from Deity. The two looked around the palace for a while before finding Garmadon and Wu outside on the balcony. “Master Wu!” Nya sighed out in relief.
“Nya?” Wu spoke, curiosity tainting his voice as the two brother looked towards Deity and Nya. “Is something wrong?” He questioned.
“Have you seen Vinny in like the past 30 minutes or so?” The water ninja asked, desperately hoping they had seen him.
“No, shouldn’t he be with the prince?” Garmadon questioned as he cocked his head, it was clear anxiety was creeping up his back.
“Shanni went on patrol…I was with Vinny and left him for a few minutes to check on something and when I went back he wasn’t there” Deity confessed.
“We already told Lloyd and the others, they’re looking around the palace” Nya spoke.
“You were saying?” The oni asked Wu, concern etched on his face and in his voice.
“What?” The water ninja asked.
“We were talking about Vinny…and his strange attitude, I said he was fine but it appears I was wrong” Wu sighed as he rubbed his temples. Deity realised Wu was trying to keep Enji and Rida a secret as of Vinnys’ request.
“We don’t know if he’s missing for certain, he could just be somewhere and we just haven’t’ found him” Deity spoke, as she tried assuring Garmadon and herself, she was just as worried as everyone.
“Well if he’s actually missing, when we find him I’m getting an answer as to what the hell’s happening to him” Garmadon muttered before he walked out, most definitely looking for Vinny.
“I’ll go search my own” Nya spoke, receiving a nod from Deity and Wu. They both watched the water ninja walk out of sight, there was this silence between the two.
“Vinny told you about Rida and Enji?” Deity questioned Wu, breaking the silence.
“Yes, do you think they have something to do with this?” Wu answered.
“Perhaps…though it would be more so Rida” Deity answered, “I’ll be on my way then” she sighed as she walked off, leaving Wu alone. Deity was making her way back to the cameramans’ room, maybe she could find a hint or something.
The room door was closed. Strange. She didn’t do that. Deity slowly and quietly opened the door, not wanting to alert anyone that would be in there. She silently hoped that it would be Vinny in there.
Much to her surprise and dismay, it wasn’t Vinny nor Rida. Enji? And he was looking around, clearly not noticing the door opened. Deitys’ eyes sharpened as she too out her hair pin and grabbed Enji, pushing him against the wall, earning a yelp from the man as his eyes widened once he saw the hair pin against his neck. “What have you done to him?” She hissed.
“Deity! Long time not see…” Enji forcibly chuckled as he held Deitys’ wrist, just in case she decided to actually hurt him.
“Answer me” Deity scowled, as she pressed the hair pin down, not hard enough to penetrate, but enough to dent against the skin. Enji gulped, his adam apple bobbing as he stared up at her.
“Did what to who?” Enji asked, trying to calm her down, though his voice was tainted with some curiosity.
“Vinny, what did you do to him?” She threatened him with the hairpin once more, it was a really sharp hairpin.
“I haven’t done anything! I actually came in here to laugh at him, since some of his friends found out about me!” Enji answered, there was truth to his voice and fear.
“You’re lying about something about one thing in that sentence” Deity spoke, as she lifted the hairpin, about to stab it back down, though it was clearly a bluff.
“I-I swear I haven’t done anything to him! I just came back to get a photo he took!” Enji answered frantically as he turned his head away and shut his eyes, seemingly bracing for impact.
“Photo…?” Deity spoke quietly as she lowered the hairpin and let go of the collar of Enjis’ shirt. Enjis’ cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
“Yes a photo” Enji confirmed as he fixed his shirt. “I haven’t done anything to Vinny, and I refuse to fight you or even scratch…Shanni would kill me…” he muttered the last part.
“Then what I have you been doing?” Deity questioned, as she put the hairpin back in her hair.
“Photo book…” Enji answered as he looked at the ground.
“So that’s why you were here before” Deity spoke, Enji nodded slightly. “Are you sure you don’t know what happened to Vinny? What about Rida?”
“I swear on my life” Enji answered, “Not sure about Rida…he’s been really busy lately” he added.
“Very well…i believe you dear…” Deity sighed in defeat as she sat on the bed.
“I’m sure he’ll turn up eventually, he’s annoyingly persistent” Enji spoke, “Anyways best I be off” as he walked to the windowsill.
“The photo’s in my room…Vinny showed me it…” Deity confessed, as she rubbed her temples, Enji stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.
“Thank you…” Enji whispered as he reached for the enchanted mirror.
“Take care of yourself…for Shanni” she added.
“I will…and I have been…” Enji chuckled as he smiled ss her before throwing the mirror in the air and letting it fall back down. “I’ll see you around someday” he spoke, before disappearing.
Deity let out a shaky sigh, Enji didn’t take Vinny…Rida wasn’t clear however. A window wide open, no other traces than faint glowing dust…was all to similar to her…oh how she missed her husband. Even after all these years she still hopes he’s alive…maybe the same can be said about Vinny…
(Enji not wanting to hurt Deity is the cutest thing, cause he would never hurt Shancais’ mother. And Deity still having a soft spot for Enji is even cuter, because she can’t hate Enji, because Shancai loves him. I can’t live without my doomed yaoi😭😭😭)
SCREAMING KICKING CRYING DYING AND FLYING I JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT IN CHINESE OF COURSE.
Nine-headed demon, I wasn’t a fan of the bird form ,But like I loved it man the nine-headed demon is officially one of my favourite characters I swear him and Macaque had beef.
Speaking of Macaque I loved him sooooooo much this season not that I don’t usually love him but EH WTF happened to his powers??? Why did they change colours did he really make a deal with someone??? But like I love how he literally used most of his power to break everyone free then just rolled on the ground.
Wukong now…..My man, my angel that hoop brought back 50 types of trauma and the fact MK used the migraine spell on him killed me….I understand why but it still hurt. And the 100 eyed demon reminding him what he did to Macaque broke me and I cried.
Li Jing….He redeemed himself a little at the end but I still wanna beat his ass into next week, how dare he treat poor Nezha that way and he put the hoop on Wukong then he trapped Macaque in the Pagoda.
Nezha don’t have much to say other than I really don’t like the way his mech looked like in the show it looked plain no hate to Wildbrain love them and can’t blame them for this considering they’re used to 3D animations and have other things to work on as well. But I loved Nezha as always.
MK…..No but like I’m still trying to figure out this kids’ hair colour sometimes it looks black then brown then both and I’m sitting there like wtf and then him going into his monkey form only for it to be brown, Anyway loved him a lot but am still depressed for what he did to Waking but it’s understandable. My guy also opened Pandora’s box….can’t wait to see more of that next season. But like c’mon whoever writes the script have got to give Mk a break.
NuWa….Here’s the thing I don’t really like or hate her she’s just this mutual feeling, no hate but I wasn’t really a fan as to how her face was animated, it probably just me but it looked a little off, I liked her snake body though and the idea of reincarnation is cool af.
Red Son…my baby needs more screen time
Sandy, they did wonders for him made me love him more
Pigsy was perfect absolutely loved him loved his relationship with Mk good father and son.
Tang I feel like he needed more screen time but I loved when he was on Pigsy’s back when they were climbing up the mountain.
Mei…poor girl was worried about her friendship with Mk wondering if there friendship was disappearing, jackfruit duo is amazing.
The hundred eyed demon wasn’t my favourite though he did manage to remind Waking about what he did to poor MacBook (Macaque) and also traumatised everyone else with their deepest memories.
My overall review of the season was 9 out of 10 this is my opinion I personally loved it and didn’t mind the animation other than NuWa’s Face the animation hit perfectly right when it needed to and the script was amazing all that matters is that the story was good so what if the animation isn’t the same the story was there and I would watch it again. Don’t go hating Wildbrain as I said before they’re amazing and getting used to a new animation style. I just can’t wait for the rest of the season to be dubbed in English. Again this is my review my opinion not everyone’s is the same so please don’t be hurt by this.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-47 if you haven't already)
Nya walked in and Vinny closed the door, "What's going on?" the water ninja asked instantly as the cameraman turned his attention to her. "W-what do you mean?" Vinny asked causing Nya to give him an annoyed look, "Between you and Garmadon? what's going on you two seem? Distant...Lloyd told me about a few things" she said.
Vinny looked away nervously, he didn't want to talk about this at all, "Nothing happened between us" The cameraman lied causing Nya to let out a sigh, "I'm not dumb I know when there's issues in a relationship, I'm with Jay and we fight then we don't talk to each other" The water ninja said as she tried her best to receive a truthful answer the cameraman. "I swear nothing happened between us and even if something did it probably wouldn't last long" Vinny protested against her claims even though he knew she was right.
"Well whatever happened is also affecting your appearance, you look like you haven't slept in days and don't think I haven't noticed that bandage on your arm" Nya replied her voice full of concern. The cameraman looked away nervously, he ended up looking at the corner where Rida most likely standing he didn't know why, he just felt like Rida was standing there watching. "Nothing happened..." Vinny responded as he tried to convince Nya.
The water ninja let out a sigh, "Whatever's happening you can tell me when you're ready, but please...don't get into a fight with Garmadon again" Nya said causing Vinnys' eyes to widen, "H-how do you...?" The cameraman stuttered out before being cut off, "I may have overheard you two" The water ninja said, "And he has a point" she added as he she looked at Vinny clearly hesitant with what she was saying. "I...j-just go please..." The cameraman spoke out his voice small and full of different emotions.
"Alright...just know you can talk to me.." Nya said out in defeat she clearly knew she wasn't going to get anywhere if this evolved into a fight. The water ninja walked out of the room closing the door behind her. "Fucking hell..." Vinny groaned out as he rested his head against the bed, the last thing he would, he flinched as he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his attention to it and saw Rida, now visible, looking at him. "I take it she didn't escalate the situation?" The orange eyed man spoke calmly.
"Thankfully she didn't...I doubt I'd be able to take another fight with someone" The cameraman responded as he shoved his head back into the bed. "With your permission may I ask a bit of a...personal question?" Rida asked softly as he sat down next to Vinny who hesitantly nodded, "I've been wondering...why do you feel the need to keep this a secret from them? They've been through enough battles to know how to deal with it" The orange eyed man asked as he looked at Vinny with intent in his eyes.
The cameraman was quiet for a moment as he looked at Rida, "I-I don't know...they've been through so much already...I just feel like I-I need to protect them do whatever I can to keep them s-safe..." Vinny stuttered out as he looked at the ground. "Why must you protect them? You don't have any experience with battle" The orange eyed man spoke out causing the cameraman to go deep into thought.
"T-they have much more important things to deal with than what's impacting me...it's my fault I'm falling for Enjis' tricks and I have a weak mind" Vinny said as he looked back up at Rida, "You don't really have a weak mind you've managed to tell the difference between reality and illusions" The orange eyed man spoke in a calm tone trying to make the cameraman feel better. "I...guess that's true" Vinny replied.
"Changing the subject I was wondering if I could join you tomorrow, when you go out" Rida asked clearly changing the subject to make Vinny feel better, "I...I mean sure you are nice company" The cameraman replied with a soft smile on his face, "Thank you I don't have much to do since Enji's doing a few things for me" Rida said.
Vinny was honestly really happy Enji was busy, he literally caused him so much problems and it was annoying. The two began talking for a while mainly about random things.

(With Willow and Shancai)
Everyone had went to go rest up after the sparring they were going to the markets later. “Hey…where’d Vinny go? He disappeared” Willow spoke up to her brother as they walked together.
“I am unsure…though Nya did go somewhere, I presume she knows?” Shancai answered, his sister nodded and grabbed his hand and tugged him towards a different hallway. “Where are we going?” He asked.
“We’re gonna go ask her if something happened, he wouldn’t just leave like that” Willow spoke, receiving a nod from her brother. They continued to walk down the halls before knocking on the door, Jay opened it.
“Oh hey” Jay spoke, clearly surprised to see the two.
“Hey, can we just borrow Nya for a second?” Nya asked as she peeked the in the room and looked at Nya who was laying on the bed.
“Uhh, sure?” Nya spoke up as she stood and went to the door allowing Jay to go back to the bed and rest there. “What’s up?” She asked as she stood at the door.
“Is…everything alright with Vinny? We noticed he was missing and you also went off…did something happen?” Willow spoke up, Nya let out a sighed as she rubbed her temple and her expression softened.
“Yea…he just has a lot on his mind” Nya replied, she didn’t know Shancai and Willow knew about Vinnys’ relationship with Garmadon.
“Should we check on him?” Shancai asked.
“I…don’t think so…he really wants to be alone” Nya answered.
“We know about his relationship with Garmadon” Willow whispered just loud enough for Nya to hear, but not Jay. The water ninja looked surprised hearing that and looked back at Jay before turning back and exiting the room and closing the door slightly.
“He told you?” Nya aksed, as the two nodded, “I…don’t know if I should tell you…” she sighed.
“Please we’re begging you” Willow begged.
“I…fine” Nya sighed, “Garmadon…wants a break from their relationship and Vinny isn’t taking it well…” she confessed, causing Willow and Shancais’ eyes to widen.
“H-how was he when you checked on him?” Willow asked, concern etched on her face.
“He…looked like he’d been crying” The water ninja spoke quietly as she looked at the ground.
“He wishes to be left alone?” Shancai questioned, receiving a nod for Nya, “Would checking on him be fine?” He asked.
“Should be…from what I’ve seen he enjoys both your company, might be sleeping maybe” Nya answered.
“R-right…” Willow sighed, “Thanks for your help” she added as she smiled softly.
“No problem…if anything happens, please tell me if you can…and I’ll tell you whatever I can” Nya answered.
“We will, I swear” Willow spoke.
“Bye…” Nya spoke softly as she watched the two leave and wave. The water ninja sighed to herself and rubbed her temples before going back into the room.
Willow and Shancai began making their way to Vinnys’ room, “Well he’s definitely gonna be quiet” Willow spoke.
“As expected…he didn’t seem to expect this to happen” Shancai answered.
“Enji’s…taken a toll on him…” The nature elemental spoke her voice quieter than before, Shancai stopped in his tracks and let out a shaky sigh.
“I know…” He spoke as he stared at the ground, Willow put her hand on her brothers’ shoulder.
“I know it’s hard…” She spoke softly, “Vinny’s gonna find out sooner or later…if you don’t tell him Enji will” she added.
“How am I meant to tell him?” Shancai asked, distress in his voice, “How would he react when he finds out?” He added.
“Shanni…he’d understand…and plus this was when we were kids, you didn’t know what would happen” Willow spoke in an attempt to comfort her brother.
“I could’ve stopped it though” Shancai retorted.
“You and Enji were kids, dumb kids…as much as you hate Enji now you still have some care for him, because he was your friend” Willow spoke her voice more harsh but still caring, “You can’t change the past…” she spoke quieter.
“Don’t remind me…” Shancai mumbled before walking ahead, Willow sighed and went quiet. They walked the rest of the way in silence before reaching Vinnys’ room.
Willow gently knocked, “Vinny? You in there?” She asked, no answer, she knocked again and waited a while, “I’m gonna come in” she called our, before opening the door and looking around.
“Where is he?” Shancai asked, as he stared at the empty bed and empty bathroom.
“Maybe he went for a walk? We can ask a servant if they saw him” Willow suggested receiving a nod for her brother, “I’ll go one way you go the other” she spoke as she exited the room and closed the door.
“I’ll see if his friends have seen him” Shancai spoke as he walked one direction while Willow went the other.
As Willow walked near the exit to the garden, she saw a group of servants, “H-hey, sorry for bothering, but have you seen a man here?” She asked one.
“Uhh yes yes, he was staring at the garden” one spoke with brown hair.
“And someone we didn’t recognise spoke to him, she had bangs that covered her eyes” Another spoke with blonde hair spoke, Willow’s heart dropped.
“D-did he go in the garden?” Willow questioned.
“Yes, he’s been there for a while, is everything alright?” Another with black hair spoke.
“Y-yea…everything’s fine…” Willow replied, “C-can you make sure no goes in the garden at all for me?” She requested.
“Of course” they spoke in unison.
“Thanks you” Willow spoke shakily, before bolting off towards the direction her brother went, she went down hall after hall, before finally spotting her brother, with Kai, Lloyd, Zane and Pixal. “Shanni!” Willow called out as she ran towards her brother.
“What? Did something happen? Are you hurt?” Shan is asked with worry as he made sure his sister wasn’t hurt.
“I-I’m fine” Willow spoke as she began to catch her breathe.
“Then what happened? You look like you ran across the whole palace” Kai spoke.
“I-I think he went into Rushifa’s part of the forest!” The nature elemental blurted out to her brother, her face was red from the running, she was taking deep breathes and she looked scared really scared. As Shancai heard those words his heart dropped. “I-if he went in there h-he might die!” She added.
“Who’s Rushifa?” Lloyd asked.
“In short words a serpentine with a hypnotic voice and invisibility” Zane spoke, receiving a nod from Kai and Lloyd.
“Are you sure?” Shancai asked.
“Y-yes, I asked people a-and they saw someone they didn’t recognise t-talk to him a-an-and-“ Willow was hyperventilating and Shancai noticed this.
“Calm down…we’re gonna go check…” Shancai spoke softly as he attempted to comfort her.
“What’s going on?” A voice spoke as Wu, Garmadon and Cole entered the same hall as them.
“Vinny might be in danger…” Lloyd hesitantly spoke as he braced himself for his fathers’ reaction.
“What!?” Garmadon hissed, they may he having a relationship break, but just as he said he still loved him.
“He might’ve went into the part of the forest I told you all about” Willow spoke to Wu and Garmadon, “And if Rushifa gets her hands on him who knows what might happen” she added, as she allowed her brother to lead them all one way towards the garden.
“Are we all coming?” Cole asked.
“If you want” Shancai spoke, as he summoned his spear.
“I’m gonna go get Nya and Jay” Kai spoke up as he ran towards his sisters’ room in a different hall.
“If he has a scratch on him then so he-“ Garmadon grumbled.
“Calm down…he’s still upset from the your conversation before, seeing you overprotective might upset him more” Wu whispered the his brother.
Kai came back with Nya and Jay, “You’re sure he’s in there?” Nya immediately asked.
“Yes” Shancai spoke, as he went down the pathway into the forest. Willow was terrified.
“She’s relentless…might toy with him till she’s bored and kill him” Willow whispered to her brother.
“Don’t dwell on those thoughts…he’ll be fine…I’m sure” Shancai whispered comfortingly.
As they stopped at torn away vine and shrubs from darker side of the forest, Willows’ heart dropped, “There…we’re wolves too…” she spoke shakily as she observed the bites and tears of the vines.
“There’s no blood though? Meaning he couldn’t be hurt?” Jay spoke up.
“Yes…but he didn’t go back into the palace either…” Willow added as she controlled the wines to create a bigger opening.
“It reeks…” Kai muttered.
“That’s the smell of rotting bodies…” the nature elemental admitted, “If you see one don’t touch it” she added, as she entered.
“T-this Rushifa…is there anything else we should know?” Lloyd asked.
“She had a stinger at the end of her tail…how? I don’t know…but it’ll paralyse you and in rare cases kill you, her having the voice of a siren she can control animals too…more specifically the snakes” Willow answered as she remained on guard leading with ever brother.
“Wow…I wish I didn’t know that…” Jay whined.
“What are the chances he isn’t hurt?” Cole asked, receiving glares from everyone, “N-not badly hurt, maybe a scar or something…he’s a guy with a broken arm…he’s only weapon is a dagger that we don’t even know he has” Cole added.
“Best we don’t think about it, and make sure he comes out alive” Shancai spoke up.
“Uhh guys…” Kai spoke shakily as he picked up torn fabric off a jagged tree branch. “This is definitely new…” he added.
“At least we know he’s here” Pixal spoke, it was true at least they knew he was in the forest and not blindly walking.
This was gonna take some time…
(I suggest you check out parts 1-64 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
(With Garmadon and the others)
As they walked and walked they eventually followed the nice pathway, “How far is it?” Pixal questioned.
“Just down this path, then we’re in the palace gardens” Willow replied happily as she walked down, vines that protected pathway were retreated by Willow as she kept walking.
As the pathway came to an end they found themselves in an large open area, bushes nicely trimmed into stars, roses, violets and all types of flowers were bloomed around.
Their attention was stolen from the garden as a staircase led up to presumably the entrance to the palace. “Is this the kingdom?” Wu asked, receiving a nod from Willow as he went up the staircase followed by the others.
“Fascinating” Zane spoke as he stared at the interior, they continued to walk, but stopped when they saw a wall, with colourful glass mosaic art, Willow realised they stopped and looked back at them.
“Something wrong?” She questioned.
“Who’s in this?” Wu asked.
“That’s my mum, me and my brother…it’s old” Willow replied, as a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the mosaic. It was a woman holding two babies.
“It’s nice” Garmadon spoke as he looked at it, before they began walking again.
“It is” Willow replied, joy tainting her voice as she went down a hallway.
She entered a room and was a bit surprised when she saw her mother and brother with a bunch of other people in the room. “Are these your friends?” Willow asked, receiving nods from Zane and Wu. The ninja let out a sigh of relief as they saw Wu and the others enter.
They all bunched together Vinny stayed next to Shancai, “Introductions would be nice, I’ll start I’m Willow” Willow spoke.
“Oh right! I’m Lloyd that’s Kai, Jay, Nya, Cole, and Vinny” Lloyd spoke to Willow as he pointed to each of them, before turning to Shancai. “That’s Garmadon, my dad, Master Wu, my uncle and Zane and Pixal” he added, receiving a nod.
“This is Shancai, my brother I was telling you about” Willow spoke to Wu and the others she was with, they nodded as they studied Shancai’s unique appearance before Garmadons’ eyes landed on Vinnys’ arm and his eyes widened.
“And this is our mother” the nature elemental spoke happily as she pointed to her mother on the ground who gave them a soft smile.
“What happened to his arm?” Garmadon questioned Lloyd quietly, discreetly pointing to Vinnys’ arm.
“We fell out from the sky” Lloyd replied bluntly, receiving a worried look from his father. “It isn’t bothering that much, he might’ve fractured it” he added, receiving a nod and sigh from the oni.
“An explanation would be nice…” Deity spoke, her voice soft and sweet like honey as she stood up from the ground, the scrolls scattered around immediately rolling up and being placed neatly on a shelf.
Their jaws dropped…she was tall…taller than Riad taller than fucking Garmadon. She would be shorter than Garmadon with 4 arms though, but she was still tall…everyone was surprised other than Willow and Shancai, seemingly used to their mothers’ height.
“You’re tall…” Jay spoke bluntly, causing Deity to chuckle slightly. No one could really protest with his statement. She was at least 6’8 to 7’0.
“I get that quite a lot” Deity spoke softly before she settled down on a large flower, Willow formed behind her. “Now then…what can I do for you?” She questioned.
“I-uhh right…” Lloyd spoke as he stuttered out a bunch o incoherent words, trying to recover from this.
“They need help getting back home” Shancai spoke, Lloyd just nodded a little relieved he didn’t have to handle the embarrassment of stuttering more.
“Where is this home?” Deity questioned.
“Ninjago, you’re highness” Nya spoke, she didn’t know what to call Deity, she was the empress after all.
“Please call me Deity dears…Ninjago you say…I’ve been there before, though at the moment my magic ability is a little limited at the moment, I can get you home just not yet” Deity spoke.
“We don’t wish to strain your abilities” Wu spoke, receiving a soft smile from Deity.
“It might take me a week or so” Deity spoke.
“That’s alright, we’re just thankful for your aid” Wu spoke, his voice relieved they were able to get back home.
“In your time being here, you’ll be treated as guests, any questions you have, you are free to ask” Deity spoke.
“W-we wouldn’t want to intrude” Vinny spoke up, receiving a sigh from Shancai.
“Not necessarily intruding anymore, if you’re considered guests” Shancai spoke.
“Well then it’s settled, Shancai and Willow can show you to your rooms, and if you’re hungry you may ask anyone here, they’ll assist you” Deity spoke.
The group thanked her and they were sent off with the siblings to be taken to their rooms. Vinny was practically stuck to Shancais’ side, there was something comforting about him. Sure he looked cold and intimidating, but he seemed to know about Enji and Rida and despised them.
“Soooo, is Shancai older?” Kai asked.
“Hah! Nope, we’re twins and I’m a minute older!” Willow boasted smugly, Shancai rolled his eyes.
“Older than me, but still act like a child” Shancai spoke, it was clear who was more mature.
“If you’re mother’s that tall why aren’t you?” Jay asked Willow.
“I-I’m not that short!” Willow defended herself, as her face flushed in embarrassment.
“Yes you are” Shancai muttered as he kept walking, Willow just pouted.
One by one, they were given rooms, now it was just Vinny and Garmadon that needed one.
“You okay…?” Garmadon asked Vinny.
“Yea…” the cameraman replied, Willow and Shancai let the two walk as they went ahead.
“There’s something going on between them” Willow whispered to Shancai.
“They’re just talking?” Shancai spoke with confusion.
“My love meter is tingling, they’re definitely dating” the nature elemental spoke once more, causing her brother to sigh.
Garmadon and Vinny asked each other a bunch of questions, making sure they were safe and unharmed.
“Do you two want to share a room?” Willow eventually asked the two, causing Shancai to rub his temples in annoyance.
“N-no thanks…” Vinny spoke as he looked away awkwardly.
“We’d prefer to be separated” Garmadon added, receiving a nod from the two siblings.
Eventually Garmadon was given a room, “I’m staying for the night, the Grove can last one night without me” Willow spoke.
“Mother would be happy to hear that” Shancai spoke, “Now then, I would like a truthful answer from you” he added as he looked a Vinny, the cameraman took a sharp breathe.
“Did I miss something?” Willow asked with confusion.
“He has Enjis’ dagger for some reason” Shancai replied plainly.
“Really? How’d you get that buddy?” Willow asked worriedly.
“I won’t inform your friends, but I could recognise that dagger in a row of a thousand copies” Shancai spoke.
“Geez, bragging much” Willow spoke, “But really bud, how’d you get it?” She asked, Vinny was really nervous.
“We’re not working with them, quite the opposite” Shancai spoke, causing the cameraman to look at him curiously.
“Enji and Rida are the kingdoms number 1 enemies…more specifically Enji, he attacks most, Rida plans” Willow sighed, and Shancai nodded to confirm it.
“Listen…whatever they want with clearly will affect the kingdom in some way…we just need you to tell us anything they do” Shancai spoke, as he put a comforting hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.
“I…they both showed up one night…Rida was messing with my dreams, I went to the bathroom and Enji, he used some illusions to transform into me and haunt me in the mirror, one time he stabbed my hand and foot and he keeps threatening on hurting my friends” Vinny confessed, slightly hysterical.
“They play mind games on you…have they done anything else?” Shancai asked, Willow had a worried expression.
“Y-yea…yesterday, Enji went on a mission, he got some chest from there, though Lloyd and the others got a key from there…” Vinny replied, “And well…he came to me at night and made me get the key for him…” He added, guilt in his voice.
“A chest? I can ask mum if she knows anything about that” Willow spoke.
“Strange…those two have never involved themselves with others unless they didn’t have a plan…Enji would, but not Rida, he’s too cautious” Shancai spoke.
“That day as well, I went out and stayed alone, Rida hanged out with me saying how Enji was getting something that was rightfully his…” Vinny added.
“Wow, this is weird…they definitely are planning something…” Willow sighed receiving a nod from her brother.
“Enjoy stabbed you with the dagger?” Shancai questioned.
“Yea, then another time he was about to hurt me again, but Rida came, he helped me bandage my hand then gave me the dagger” Vinny replied.
“Willow, go tell mother…” Shancai spoke, Willow nodded and ran off, “If there’s anything else I should know then tell me” he added as he looked at Vinny bending his knees to be closer to Vinnys’ height.
“I-I will…I swear…” The cameraman replied, his voice breaking.
Shancai opened a bedroom door for Vinny letting him look in it, his voice hitched as he looked at the mirror, “He can’t get in through the mirrors, I made sure of it” Shancai spoke, causing Vinny to let out a breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.
“My room’s next to yours and Willow’s next to mine…if anything happens come to us or my mother” the prince spoke, Vinny just nodded and watched Shancai walk away.
The cameraman sighed and went in the room, closing the door behind him before dropping on the bed.
Was he meant to trust these people…?
(I suggest you check out parts 1-73 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
(With Vinny)
The cameraman shivered as he felt the smaller snakes climbed onto him and licked his skin. “Now now…how are you in the palace? I’ve never sssseen you before?” Rushifa spoke as she grabbed a decayed corpse off the ground and tore off its arm before biting into it. Vinny felt like he was gonna be sick, if the smell wasn’t enough seeing that definitely would.
“I-I j-just me and my f-friends-“ Vinny was stuttering like crazy as he held back a gag. He hated it here, he hated everything at the moment…
“Oh you’re even more fun than I thought” Rushifa laughed out sadistically as she allowed a snake crawl up to her ear? Ear holes? Whatever snakes have. Vinny watched as it hissed into her ears, seemingly telling her something. She pulled her veil down before getting really up close with Vinny.
The cameraman was caught off guard by her appearance, she was blind? A scar across her whole face, while her fangs were sharp like daggers, that could pierce through the air. “Your friendssss are coming!” She says to him as her tail squeezes around choking the air out of his lungs while her stinger threatened to pierce his cheek.
“W-what?” Vinny asked worriedly, they couldn’t be here, maybe Willow and Shancai knew how to fight this snake. Rushifa took another bite of the torn arm, her teeth sinking into its rotting flesh before she threw it against the ground allowing the smaller snakes to go after it and satiate their hunger.
“You heard me” She circled around him, “Your ninja friendsss and SSShancai along with that inssssuferable Willow are here! In my domain” She giggled, her voice darkened when talking about Willow, she didn’t seem to like her, “But no worriesss! I’ll deal with them” she hissed, before throwing her veil back on.
“S-Say! We haven’t had proper introductions, w-why don’t we ask some questions about each other?” Vinny asked as he tried to squirm out, but failed miserably due to the tail wrapped tightly.
“Rida wasss right about you, you sssure care about your friendssss” she hissed as she slithered down to a rotting tree stump and sat against it, her tail grip on Vinny loosening ever so slightly, “I suppossse you can ask some questions” she added, as she put her hand up signalling for him to continue, her nails were sharp they were more like claws…
“Uhh r-right…h-how do you know Rida…?” The cameraman hesitantly asked as he took a deep breathe of relief as her grip loosened.
“Me and Rida both dissslike the kingdom, we are not friendsss neither acquaintancesss he asksss for the occasional favour, I decide if I listen or not” Rushifa spoke as she allowed the smaller snakes to climb onto her and wrap around her neck.
“S-so neutral terms?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod from the snake.
“Now I have a question for you” She began, Vinny hesitantly nodded in agreement allowing her to continue. “Why does Rida have his eyess set on you?” She questioned, as she stood up again and circled around him, stopped behind him.
“I…I don’t now…” Vinny sighed before taking a sharp breathe as he felt a sharp claw press against the back on his neck.
“Are you sssure?” She questioned once more as she rested her head on Vinnys’ shoulder while wrapped one hand around his neck.
What the actual fuck was going one? Was all that was going through Vinnys’ mind, he hated being touched like this, “Y-yes…” he shakily responded as he tried to pull away from her touch, knowing very well it was futile. He wanted to kill himself the moment he felt her hand on his thigh…he met some random fucking snake lady in the forest and was now being harassed, who has this happened too before?!
“Don’t be shy” she whispered into his ear, “You were an easy one to convince to come here” she added, as she turned Vinnys’ face to a lifeless body on the ground..the exact body of the servant he spoke to before. Vinny felt disgusted more specifically at himself, why couldn’t stop her? Why was he so weak!?
“L-let me go…” Vinny whimpered out, it wasn’t an order but a plea, he hated being touched like this.
“What would Garamadon think if he found you like thisss?” She asked her voice feigning with mock empathy, Vinnys’ heart ached at the thought of Garmadon, she was right, what would he think? Would he be mad? Disgusted?
He didn’t want anyone else see him like this…he wanted to curl into a ball and die, she chuckled before reached towards the ground and tearing a piece of flesh of a body and pressing is against Vinnys’ mouth, “Eat it” she ordered, Vinnys’ heart dropped and his stomach twisted…he kinda missed Enji right now…
“W-what?” The cameraman managed to whimper our shakily, as he tried pulling his head away from the flesh being pressured to him, surely she must be joking? There was no way he would eat that…or so he thought…
“You heard me, eat it” she repeated her tone harsher as her hand entangled in Vinnys’ head keeping him in place and unable to turn away from the food?
“I-I can’t t-there’s h-how-“ The cameraman began stuttering again, he felt light-headed, where were the others? He couldn’t careless if they saw him like this…he wanted to leave he wanted to be free…
“You will eat it, whether you like it or not” She repeated, as she continued to pressure Vinny. “Eat it…and you and your friendsss may be able to leave somewhat unscathed”
Vinnys’ heart ached hearing that, he wanted to protect them, but what if she was lying? “S-swear?” He asked shakily, “Swear we’ll all leave a-alive? Hardly injured?” He added, desperate for an answer.
“I’ll hardly hurt them…I’ll attack if they attack firssst and have a little fun, but their injuriesss will be none too harsh, but a ssscratch of sssome sortsss” she answered, Vinny let out a shaky breathe as he turned his attention to the piece of flesh in front of him…what it worth it…?
“I-I…” the cameraman stuttered, out a snake hissed something into Rushifas’ ear.
“Time isss ticking, your friendsss are closse” She says to him as she pushes the flesh closer to his mouth, Vinny wanted to vomit, everything here was revolting.
“C-can’t I get s-sick?” He stuttered out.
“We’ll just have to sssee, I’ve done thisss to a certain someone nod she isn’t ill” Rushifa responded as she laughed softly, “Now eat” she hissed harsher than before, the grip of her tail loosened now Vinny was able to move his hands.
Tears welled in Vinnys’ eyes as he shut them tightly before opening his mouth slightly, Rushifa let out a sadistic chuckle before placing it in his mouth. It was disgusting…the coppery taste of the blood mixed with the salty tears of his, he held back a gag, “Chew” she ordered, “And make sure to swallow” she added in a playful tone.
He whimpered as he chewed, he wanted to throw up, he wanted to wash him out out. Eventually Vinny forced himself to swallow, before she fully released him from her tail, he dropped to the ground and sobbed staring at the ground, hoping he didn’t do this for nothing.
A small flicker of hoped burned in his chest as he heard soft muttering of a group of people in the forest and Rushifa noticed it too, staring a Vinny before lifting up his chin, “Best you smile for them” she says to him before planting a kiss on his cheek…that worsened Vinnys’ sickness as he tried rubbing away his tears…no one needed to know what he did…
Rushifa used the smaller snakes to hold Vinny down as she hid in the shadows. He didn’t fight back, he was tired and weak…his eyes widened as he saw Shancai and Willows’ figure followed by the rest of the group, their eyes instantly widened as they saw Vinny as they ran over and tried pulling the snakes away. “Shit! Are you alright?!” Willow asked with worry as she controlled the vines to throw the snakes all away,
“I-I’m fine…” Vinny answered, his voice was hoarse, it was an obvious lie…they all could tell, he was weak and shaky. The cameraman was helped up, everyone looked worried out of their mind, but he was drawn out of his thought, by a demonic echoey laugh, right…Rushifa was still here.
Willows’ eyes widened and she growled in annoyance, she didn’t seem to like Rushifa as much as Rushifa hated her. They all were on guard as they stared around. “She uses the smaller snakes to see us…” Willow spoke to them all, receiving a nod from the others as they drew their swords.
Vinny was surprised…because the moment no one payed attention, Garmadon pulled him as close as possible, Vinny looked up at him, he was so much more worried than the others…his heart ached…
“You made quite a bit of friendsss Willow” Rushifa spoke as she hanged from a tree branch using her tail, the nature elemental was about to attack, but was held back by her brother, “Sssoooo sssnappy”
Rushifa attacked first, hitting Jay with her stinger and falling into Nya’s arms. The rest of the ninja fought back, while Nya stayed with Jay who was slowly using his body function. Willow went over to the two before creating a berry, “Eat it” she spoke as she handed it to him, the lightning ninja did as told and his function was given back.
Vinny was just standing there, Garmadon was just standing in front of him…protecting him…his mind was numb…he couldn’t get rid of the coppery taste in his mouth, but he was drawn out of his thoughts by a loud hiss as Kai slashed his sword against Rushifas’ face tearing the veil and scarring her across her eyes…she was definitely gonna have another scar.
The group watched as the snake retreated into the trees followed by smaller snakes. As they determined she was gone they focused their attention on Vinny. “You sure you’re okay? She didn’t hit you with her stinger?” Shancai questioned.
“Yea…” Vinny responded his voice was monotone and his expression was blank, other than the slightly puffy eyes. The others noticed this, and it seemed to pain Willow the most. Willow began walking one way followed by everyone, he remained quiet he felt like if he spoke he would burst out in tears and throw up.
“Why’d you go here?” Zane asked, everyone looked just as curious.
“Some lying bitch convinced” Vinny grumbled, his tone was filled with hate, everyone seemed surprised by his tone, “I wasn’t going to! But then there were fucking wolves and I had no where else to fucking go!” He hissed, his anger was directed at himself.
“Are you sure you’re alright…?” Lloyd asked as they went back on the path, Willow waited till everyone got out and sealed that part of the forest again.
“I’m fucking fine…” Vinny answered as he walked past them trying to get back into the palace.
“Vinny seriously…what happened?” Nya asked, desperate for a proper answer.
“Nothing fucking happened! Drop it!” He hissed as tears began to well in his eyes again, they were caught off guard by his harsh tone and watched him walk into the palace leaving them jaw dropped.
“Show someone go after him?” Jay asked.
“No…he needs to be alone…” Willow sighed out as she rubbed her temples, the group nodded and slowly dispersed.
Vinny entered his room and fucking ran to the bathroom, he dropped to his knees in front of the toilet and almost immediately threw up, it was so relieving…he felt guilty for snapping at Nya, but they wouldn’t blame him if they found out what he did. He continued to throw up gagging and crying to himself.
Who the hell did he piss off for this to happen?
(I don’t know what Vinny did to deserve me to do this)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-68 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
As Vinny finished getting dressed he wondered if Shancai was still awake. He hesitated for a moment before leaving the room and going over to the princes’ room. The cameraman stared at the closed door before taking a deep breathe and gently knocking.
He heard some rustling from inside the room and the door opened, Shancai was awake. “Is something wrong?” The prince questioned, there was no annoyance in his voice.
“Just wanted to check if you were up…” Vinny spoke awkwardly, Shancai nodded in understanding before moving to the side offering Vinny to enter the room, “A-are you sure?” The cameraman questioned, the prince nodded. He didn’t talk much, unlike Willow they were like polar opposites, but they were both likeable.
The cameraman entered the room and looked around, it was more decorated than his room, which made sense he was in a guest room. Vinny noticed that Shancai had a shit ton of hair products, some organised while others just put on the dressing table. The prince pointed for Vinny to sit on the bed, which he did.
“Did you bathe well?” The prince questioned as he went to the dressing table and took off the bonnet, placing it to the side, he made sure to hold up his hair so it doesn’t reach the ground. Vinny pulled out the dagger and began fidgeting with it.
“Yea…it was really relaxing…how about you?” Vinny responded, as he watched the prince start to put other products on his hair, Vinny suspected that Shancai didn’t put them in before, because he had to make sure the cameraman didn’t die in the bathtub.
“It was well…do you like your hair?” Shancai questioned once more, he didn’t seem the best at conversing with others.
“Yep, it’s nice, I was gonna get a haircut later this week…but then I ended up here and it just slipped off my mind…” Vinny chuckled awkwardly, the prince nodded in acknowledgment and continued fixing his hair. “You’re hair’s really nice…” Vinny blurted out without thinking.
Shancai paused for a moment, “Thank you…” he finally spoke up, cussing Vinny to let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.
“Do people normally compliment your looks?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.
“Occasionally…not necessarily my body marks, but mostly my hair and eyes…” Shancai answered.
“R-right…so your body marks…not the vitiligo, the patterned ones…where are they from?” Vinny asked.
“I am…unsure, my mother said I was born with them…I’ve never really…believed it…” Shancai replied, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at his arm covered in those patterned marks.
“Should I not ask these questions? I don’t wanna press on if you’re uncomfortable…” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince worriedly.
“You are free to do so…it’s not often I’m questioned about myself” Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny.
“Alright…you don’t have to answer everything if you don’t want to” Vinny spoke before taking a deep breathe, “Was it…hard growing up with those marks? I don’t know much about the kingdom and it’s people…but back in Ninjago people are really judgy…”he asked.
“It was…though I had a friend, he assured me of everything…and he was the closest I’ve ever been with someone I wasn’t related to…. Shancai confessed, the cameraman looked at him curiously.
“What happened?” Vinny asked.
“He…disappeared…” Shancai sighed as his eyes flicked down to the dagger that was in the cameramans’ hand.
“Oh…” Vinny spoke, he was about to say something, but was cut off by the door opening.
“Are you seriously still awake…?” A familiar tired voice spoke as the two turned their attention to the door. Willow…wearing a shirt and shorts as she rubbed her eye from exhaustion.
“Yes I am…” Shancai spoke to Willow who blinked for a couple of seconds before turning to Vinny.
“Are you having a sleepover?” The nature elemental spoke, “I’m hurt I wasn’t invited” she added as he made a dramatic pose, Shancai rubbed his temple while Vinny chuckled.
“We’re not…we were just talking” The cameraman spoke to Willow.
“We should have one, all three of us!” The nature elemental spoke, her exhaustion disappearing.
“I wouldn’t want to intrude and this is your brothers’ room” Vinny spoke, as he looked towards the prince who was putting his hair back in the bonnet.
“It is fine with me…as long as someone actually sleeps” Shancai spoke as he looked towards Willow who smiled sheepishly.
“I’ll sleep I swear!” Willow laughed out as she closed the door.
“Alright then” Vinny spoke as he smiled, Shancai nodded in agreement.
“Shanni! Please I am begging you can we make a blanket fort!” Willow begged her brother.
“Seriously?” Shancai sighed, the nature elemental nodded desperately.
“He wants it” Willow spoke as he pointed to Vinny who was silently laughing at the two siblings.
“Fine fine…” The prince answered, Willow immediately jumped towards the bed and grabbed the pillows and blankets.
“Help me you two” she spoke, the two nodded and did as they were told. Setting the blankets and pillows in ways that made a roof and and soft makeshift floor bed. It took around 10 minutes and then they laid in it.
“I haven’t been able to convince Shancai to do this since we were kids” Willow told Vinny as she relaxed in the blanket fort.
“That’s because it’s childish” Shancai spoke.
“Childish? This will never become childish!” Vinny laughed out, he really enjoyed their company, Willow was the perfect amount of fun and childish while Shancai was the perfect amount of mature and serious.
“See? Even he gets it!” Willow said to her brother who rolled his eyes playfully. “Admit it! You’re having fun!” She begged her brother.
“Alright…” Shancai sighed, “Maybe I am enjoying this a little bit” he added.
“A little bit?” Vinny teased as he laid on his side and stared at Shancai.
“Maybe a lot…” the prince looked at Vinny and corrected himself.
“Yes you are!” Willow laughed before she playfully ruffled her brothers’ hair, only to have her hand knocked away.
“This is the best I’ve felt in a while…” Vinny sighed as he relaxed onto his back.
“With the whole Enji thing?” Willow asked.
“Yea…you two really make me feel better…” the cameraman sighed.
“Well I knocked two birds with one stone!” Willow teased Vinny and Shancai, “You’re both so moody” she laughed.
“Yes yes…” Shancai sighed as he bit back a smile, “Now sleep…mother doesn’t like us staying up” he added.
“Correction…she doesn’t like you staying up” Willow spoke, “Me and Vinny are fine” she added.
“Yea, I slept before” the cameraman teased Shancai.
“Well if we don’t sleep then how would we be able to show Vinny around the kingdom tomorrow” The prince spoke, clearly knowing his sister well. Willow put her hand up to retort, but stayed silent.
“Fine, you win!” She laughed out as she playfully punched her brother.
“Who’s turning off the light…?” Vinny asked.
“Shanni…” Willow instantly spoke, Shancai looked at his sister, before sighing and getting up then turning off the light and laying back down.
“Now we sleep…” Willow yawned as she rolled to her side, the other two nodded and Vinny hugged a spare pillow. “Night everyone…” she added.
“Goodnight…” Shancai spoke in response.
“Night…” the cameraman yawned in response.
Silence filled the room, it was a comforting silence…the sound of the wind gently howling from outside as it entered the room and gently hit against their bodies. Willow was first to fall asleep her soft breathing, then it was Vinny and finally Shancai…
Vinny liked this…he liked this kingdom…he liked everyone he’s met here…they make him feel safe…
