What Does Happen?

Minor season 5 spoilers and season 6 theories

Ya'll I bet season 6 is gonna bless us with Macaque screen time, because how much his power was linked to The nine headed demon and especially with his powers changing colour. Like season 6 has to be a lot about Macaque and more on his perspective on what Wukong did to him and giving us more insight on his powers and the chains that were on him as well as the fight between him and Wukong because as in season 5 the 100 eyed demon showed Wukong a memory.

After Enji left Vinny was worried out of his mind not wanting to be hurt again, he fidgeted with the blade again carefully stroking is against the table not wanting to scar it. "God damnit...I'm such an idiot..." the cameraman mumbled repeatedly. He sat there for awhile as he continued to eat his sandwich. To his surprise Jay, Kai and Cole came in the kitchen. "Hey Vinny" Jay said as he sat at the table, "Hey..." Vinny replied as he avoided eye contact.

"Whatcha doing?" Kai asked as he grabbed a pack of chips and opened it. "Eating" The cameraman responded as he set the blade on the table, before pretty quickly picking it up again. "Uh huh..." The fire ninja replied as he looked at Cole who was eating cake. Vinny continued to eat his sandwich while looking down at the table he wasn't in a good mood he was tired and paranoid.

The thought of Enji harming him was enough but if he so set a finger on the ones Vinny cared about he was getting another punched. The cameraman couldn't careless about Enji harming him, he just wanted the others to be safe....he wanted Garmadon to be safe. "Stupid Enji, never leaves me alone..." Vinny thought as he continued to look down at the table clutching the blade tightly as he rested his head on his hand. The three ninja noticed how the cameraman was acting and didn't say anything they could tell he wasn't in a normal mood and wanted to what would happen if they didn't interrupt.

"Fucking bastard...I'm gonna kill him..." Vinny mumbled out, the three ninja heard the cameraman mumbling but not what he said. "Umm...is he alright?" Jay whispered to Kai and Cole who shrugged in response. Vinny shut his eyes tightly, "What even is he...?" He mumbled to himself again before getting trapped in a cycle of calling Enji swears and wondering what the fuck he was.

There was silence for 2 minutes as the ninja observed Vinny, "That motherfucker!" Vinny shouted out as he lifted the blade and stabbed the table. "Holy shit..."Jay said out nervously as he sort of moved a little bit away from Vinny. "Hey...umm you okay?" Kai asked the cameraman who jumped slightly forgetting they were here. "O-Oh umm y-yea! I'm fine.." The cameraman responded awkwardly as he took the blade out of the table.

"W-who were you talking about?" Jay asked hesitantly, "Hmm? O-oh! Not any of you, I'm a hundred percent sure you don't even know who he is" Vinny replied as he looked at the table and grimaced, it had a deep cut and the cameraman couldn't stop thinking about how he was stabbed by that. "W-well...you clearly don't like him...is he from somewhere?" Cole asked as he looked at the table as well. "H-He's just from my work..." Vinny lied as he got up and put the sheath on the blade before shoving it in his pocket.

The group looked at him worriedly but believed him, "Alright well...you can talk to us about it" Kai said earning a nod from Vinny, who grabbed the remainder of his sandwich and left leaving three very confused ninjas wondering if they should tell someone about this.

As Vinny walked out he fidgeted with the knife, because it was sort of relaxing. "How can I talk to someone about this...?" The cameraman thought before being stopped by Wu. "Ah, Vinny I've been meaning to talk to you about a few things" Wu said out once he gained Vinnys' attention. "Y-You have?" The cameraman asked nervously.

Wu nodded and lead Vinny to the library to talk about things.

“Is there a training grounds here?” Nya asked, Shancai nodded in response.

“We could use some training…fighting against someone we don’t know due to our new threat” Lloyd spoke.

“New threat?” Willow muttered to Vinny.

“Enji…” The cameraman whispered back, Willow made a ‘oh’ sign with her mouth and nodded.

“How about we finish eating then we can go?” Wu asked, receiving nods from the others.

“Where’s your mother?” Jay blurted out to Willow and Shancai, they both shrugged.

“I saw her earlier…but she was busy with something…” the nature elemental spoke, Vinny and Shancai exchange worried looks, wondering what was up with Deity.

They all finished eating and began making their way to the training grounds. When they went by Deitys’ room Vinny paused, he wanted to see her. “Everything alright?” Kai asked the cameraman noticing he stopped walking.

“Uh…yea, go on without me I’ll catch up, just gotta do something” Vinny answered receiving nods from the others as they began walking again, Willow and Shancai staring as him curiously, Vinny pointed to Deitys’ door and they both realised what he was doing and nodded, then walked off.

Once he was alone, he worked up the courage to gently knock on the closed door. He didn’t hear anything and waited a bit more, thankfully the door was opened and Deity stood there. She looked overworked…was that chest Enji took worrying her that much?

“Morning dear…” Deity spoke softly as she gave him a small smile, it was obviously forced and didn’t carry the same comfort of one true smile.

“Morning…” Vinny replied, “Sorry…for bothering you, I just wanted to check on you” he added, Deitys’ expression softened hearing that.

“I’m well dear, did you rest well?” She questioned.

“Yea…I wanted to thank you too, talking to you helped…” Vinny spoke to her, when he spoke to her, he felt like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.

“It’s no problem dear…talking to you helped me as well” She answered, “Is everyone awake?” She added.

“Yep, we were going to the training grounds, Willow suggested Shancai spar with the others and he took up on the idea” Vinny replied.

“That’s good…” she sighed, “I checked up on you early this morning…you weren’t in your room, but then I went to Shancais’…I was surprised seeing you all bunched up together…” she chuckled.

“I wasn’t planning on it…me and him were up and we must’ve woke Willow up, but she came in and suggested a sleepover…it was really nice” Vinny answered, his expression softened at the thought.

“I also happened to check again and find Willow purring makeup on you two” Deity teased, causing Vinny to blush.

“Y-yea she did…but it was funny…” Vinny spoke through embarrassment.

“Best you be off, before you lose your way” she teased.

“R-right!” The cameraman laughed out as he looked back in the hallway, “I’ll see you later” he added, Deity waved goodbye and watched Vinny run off into the hallway and try to catch up with the others.

Vinny was out of breath as he finally made it back to the others, “Look who decided to grace up with his presence” Kai teased as he allowed Vinny to lean against him and catch his breath. Garmadon looked at the cameraman and sighed, he wanted to talk…but how…?

“Those…” Vinny panted as he pointed to the halls, “Are some long ass hallways” he breathed heavily.

“That’s why you walk in them” Shancai spoke as he summoned his spear and gently bonked Vinnys’ head.

“I had to catch up!” The cameraman answered, “And I was not going to talk to someone to find you all!” He added.

“Idiot” Nya teased, as they all exited the palace into a large area.

“Here we are!” Willow spoke joyfully as she pointed to the area, it had archery targets, hay targets and all types of training equipment.

“Sometimes I forget we’re in a huge kingdom…” Cole spoke as he stared into the large area. They went down the stairs and designated one area to their training.

“Shall we warm up?” Zane questioned.

“Stretch” Shancai spoke, “You two may not pull a muscle” he pointed to Zane and Pixal “but they will” he added as he pointed to the rest who are not nindroids. “You’re not fighting I take it?” He asked Vinny.

“I would pull a muscle with or without stretching” Vinny chuckled, and sat down where Shancai pointed. Wu and Garmadon sat on the side.

“Shanni! Take off your armour, you’re sparring!” Willow begged her brother, Shancai rolled his eyes, before taking off his top armour piece, he was wearing a black compression shirt underneath. Goddamn did he have muscles.

“I do not want to fight him…” Jay muttered to Kai and Cole.

“Agreed…” Kai and Cole spoke in agreement, Shancai rested his armour piece next to Vinny, who just stared at it and tried poking it…never again…that’s heavy…

“How about we just do weapons first?! Then we can have on with you all using your powers!” Vinny suggested.

“That’s wise” Zane spoke.

“Very well” Shancai answered as his eyes scanned his spear for any damages, the other ninja nodded in agreement.

As the ninja finished stretching and warming up, they debated who was sparring Shancai first, “I say Jay goes first” Kai suggested.

“W-what why me?!” Jay answered, clearly offended.

“Cause if you can beat him we can” Cole teased, he was just playing along with Kais’ teases.

“He won’t kill you!” Willow called out from next to Vinny in an attempt to comfort them, “Not sure about hurting though!” She added, she wanted to mess with them.

“He’ll hurt them?” Vinny asked her.

“Nah, I’m just messin’ with em’”Willow answered, causing the cameraman to snicker. “How about you all go at it?!” She called out.

“What?” Lloyd asked curiously.

“You all attack him with weapons!” She answered.

“A-are you sure? Maybe that’s too much” Nya questioned.

“What’s that meant to mean?” Shancai questioned, to him it sounded like he was being underestimated.

“N-nothing!” Nya spoke immediately.

“Sure…we can do it…?” Lloyd replied, causing Willow to smile happily.

“You sure this is good?” Vinny asked.

“I know my brother and his limits…and he knows them too” Willow replied to Vinny.

They all positioned themselves, Shancai in the middle surrounded by the others, Vinny, Willow, Garmadon and Pixal all sitting out. Kai attacked first, lunging forward with a sword, the prince dodged with ease, moving with grace. He used the blunt end of his spear to knock the others away.

As Jay attacked with nunchucks Shancai used the spear head to lodge it in the chains of the nunchucks and pull it out of Jays’ hands throwing it to the side. “Cocky” the prince spoke as Kai attacked again, “Slow” he spoke to Cole, who was using a scythe, “Aggressive” he said to Nya, who growled at him.

“I’ll show you aggressive…” Nya grumbled, Cole managed to grab Shancai from behind using the spear to keep his arms back, while Lloyd put a sword to his neck, they seemed to have let their guard down slightly.

Shancai jumped off the ground and used Zanes’ chest for power as he knocked off it, freeing his arms from Coles’ grip and landing behind him, “Save your celebrations till after all escapes are blocked” the prince spoke as he knocked Jay to the ground and held the spear to his throat.

“Geez okay!” Jay spoke with fear, he didn’t like this, Shancai sighed and got up.

“You spend too much time calculating every possible outcome, remember you don’t know your opponent you’ve never fought me before” Shancai spoke as he used his spear to point to Zane.

“I like him…” Wu muttered to Garmadon, Wu clearly liked his teaching style and how he critiqued their flaws.

“You put too much power in your hits and that slows you down” Shancai spoke as he pointed to Cole, “Too confident in yourself…you don’t know your limits” points to Kai.

“He didn’t kill them…but he killed something” Vinny muttered to Willow who laughed.

“Aggressive, something spoken that you dislike you’re triggered” Shancai spoke and pointed to Nya, “And you’re not confident enough” points to Lloyd.

“Geez…harsh much” Kai spoke, with fake offence.

As Shancai began helping better their techniques Wu got up and began helping as well, they did get along quite well. Pixal joined Zane in seeing how she can better her techniques.

“Gonna go see what he says about me” Willow spoke to Vinny as she got up and went to her brother Vinny nodded. Now it was just Garmadon and Vinny sitting out.

The cameraman tried to ignore Garmadons’ presence and focus on what Shancai was doing, but it failed…because Garmadon sat next to him, “Hey…” the oni spoke quietly.

“Hey…” Vinny replied bluntly, he didn’t want to talk, but he missed him.

“I…need to talk about something…” Garmadon mumbled, his voice becoming quieter and sadder.

“If it’s about my health then no we won’t talk about it…” Vinny sighed as he looked at the ground.

“It…isn’t…” The oni whispered, Vinny looked at him curiously…what could it be about…?

“Alright…I’m listening…” the cameraman sighed.

“I understand…the past few days haven’t been the best for both of us…” Garmadon began, Vinny nodded in following, “I love you…I really do…” he added quietly, the cameraman looked at him curiously…where was this going…?

“What’s wrong…?” Vinny asked, he was impatient, he was scared, nervous and terrified…

“A break…” Garmadon confessed quietly, Vinnys’ heart dropped.

“A-a break? What’s that meant to mean?” The cameraman asked, he needed to make sure it wasn’t what he thought it would be…

“We need a break Vinny…” Garmadon repeated as he stared at the ground, he couldn’t bring himself to look at Vinny.

Vinnys’ heart dropped heading those words, his mind just turned off, “I-is it me…?” He managed to whisper out.

Garmadon immediately panicked seeing Vinnys’ reaction, “N-no…it’s not…we just need…some space from each other, you need space…” Garmadon answered, as he looked at Vinny.

“R-right…just a break…” Vinny breathed out sharply.

“I…I still love you…I do, though having a relationship at the moment isn’t working for us…” Garmadon confessed, it clearly pained him to say all this.

Vinny just nodded, he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t think, he couldn’t move…what was happening…?

“Are you a-“ Garmadon cut himself off as Vinny got up and walked away. He really didn’t know what he was doing…he wanted to keep Vinny safe…but nothing was working…

Vinnys’ mind and body worked in auto pilot as it just walked back inside the palace. Nya, Wu, and Lloyd noticed this and turned their attention to Garmadon, who was looking at the ground rubbing his temples and stroking a hand through his hand.

Vinny just kept walking and walking…where was he going…? No idea…did he want to know? No…all he knew was that his life just collapsed in the span of 3 minutes…

(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 1-80 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The walk back to the palace was just as quiet as to the markets, Vinny tried to ignore the stinging from the cut on his arm while Shancai showed no emotion. “Hey…can I ask you something?” The cameraman eventually spoke up, breaking the silence.

“Go ahead” The prince answered as they continued to walk along the path.

“It’s about you and Enji…” Vinny confessed, “He acts…different around you, I’ve seen how he acts with Rida and last time when he attacked my friends, he flirted with Cole once from what I was told, but with you he’s more persistent” the cameraman continued, causing Shancai to let out a shaky sigh as his spear disappeared.

“I’ve known Enji for years, longer than Rida, he tends to be more playful with me to mess with me” The prince answered, there was slight truth in his words.

“When did you two meet?” Vinny hesitantly asked.

“I was 10” The prince answered.

“How old are you now?” The cameraman questioned once more.

“Me and Willow turned 25 four months ago” Shancai replied, as they walked out the stairs of the palace.

“Wait, you just turned 25?” Vinny asked surprisingly as they entered the palace, he received a nod from the prince. “Geez! I’m older! I turn 26 in three months!” He added.

“You’re 26?” Shancai asked, “I thought you were younger” the prince added, causing Vinny to laugh out.

“I wish!” The cameraman laughed, before the silence returned. The silence didn’t matter as they exited through a different door into the training area, Vinny seemed confused, but it was short-lived as Shancai pulled out this small box, a first aid box.

The prince signalled for Vinny to sit down on the wooden platform which was elevated from the training grounds. The cameraman sat down and watched Shancai sit next to him. “Tell me if I hurt you” the prince spoke, as he began undoing the makeshift bandage around Vinnys’ cut arm.

The cameraman held back a wince of pain as the fabric was pulled away from his bloody arm. He hesitantly stared at the cut and grimaced at the sight, it was a clean cut, he’ll give Enji that, he had good ass aim. “Is it…bad?” Vinny spoke up, as he noticed the prince staring at the cut, his expression unreadable.

“It won’t need stitches” Shancai answered, causing the cameraman to let out a soft sigh of relief, he still had the stitches on his hand, he should ask the prince about it later. “It’s not far off from a normal cut from a kitchen knife and it didn’t cut a muscle or vein, a normal bandage is fine” the prince added as he grabbed a few things from the first aid kit.

“It’ll heal fine?” Vinny questioned.

“Might leave a small mark, I’m gonna wrap it up, and you can go shower, I’ll wrap it again after” Shancai answered, receiving a soft nod from the cameraman.

The prince disinfected he wound, causing Vinny to jerk away and hiss in pain, “My apologise” The prince spoke, as he grew more cautious.

“I-it’s fine” The cameraman answered, as he smiled at Shancai softly. It didn’t take long for the wound to be bandaged and the prince and Vinny both went to have a shower.

“I’ll come get you after I finish” Shancai spoke, as they went to their rooms, and Vinny nodded before entering his room and locking the door.

What a interesting day…the cameraman looked a little surprised as he noticed all his old dirty clothes, folded neatly, and seemingly as if they were never cut or torn, he also noticed that they seemed to be there since yesterday, he really needed to start paying attention.

Vinny entered the bathroom and stripped of his clothing, he threw the makeshift cloak from Shancai on the bed before with the dagger. Man he needed to be careful, he had a broken arm and now a cut on the other arm.

The world was just out for him. The shower was quick though, nothing different, it felt like a normal shower, unlike the previous days when it felt heavenly. He occasionally let out a wince as the wound stung more. But he quickly finished up and got into white tank top and loose blue shorts before dropping on the bed.

Vinny laid there for a while, he wondered what was taking Shancai so long, then again, he did have long ass hair, so Vinny couldn’t really rush the prince. He was snapped out of his thoughts as there was a knock at the door.

The cameraman quickly got up and opened the door. Just as he thought it was Shancai. The prince was wearing his silk emerald green pajamas as of last time. “My apologies for taking so long” The prince apologised.

“Nah it’s fine” Vinny answered with a soft smile as he followed Shancai back out to the training ground. The two both sat back down, and the cameraman allowed the prince to undo the cover of the wound. It was cleaner and bleeding significantly less than before. But it still hurt so Vinny bit the inside of his cheek to hold back a wince.

There was the silence again, other than their soft breathing, crickets chirping and the wind howling, it was somewhat late at night. “Do you…ever wish you could fight?” The prince spoke up, snapping Vinny out of his thoughts.

“I guess…” the cameraman answered, “I wish I could protect myself, protect my friends…” he confessed as he watched Shancai let go of his now bandaged arm. The bandage was revealed by the tank top, but Vinny would be sure to cover it around others.

“Then you and I are alike…I taught myself how to fight to protect myself, my family and my kingdom” the prince confessed as they both stared at the training course.

“You taught yourself?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from the prince. “It was worth it, you’re amazing…” he added, causing Shancais’ expression to softened as he seemed surprised by the compliment.

“You have potential…” the prince spoke, “You have a desire to watch the ones who hurt you suffer…” he added reluctantly, causing Vinnys’ eyes to widen and his breath hitch.

“I…I do, I’ll admit it…” The cameraman confessed as he looked away.

“Don’t be ashamed of it” Shancai spoke comfortingly, “Everyone wishes the same, I do as well, it’s natural for all” he added.

“Hey…” Vinny began, catching the princes’ attention, “Would it be alright, if you were to…train me of some sorts?” He continued.

“That was what I was insisting” Shancai spoke.

“I know” The cameraman chuckled as he smiled softly, “But that wasn’t a yes” he teased.

“Very well” the prince sighed, as he rolled his eyes playfully.

“It doesn’t have to be anything too much, just basic stuff” Vinny added.

“Nonsense” Shancai answered, “I am mentoring you so I’m teaching you everything I know” the prince continued, as he stood up, which Vinny did the same.

“Sure thing, if you expect me to do backflips and stuff, I’ll sadly shut that down” The cameraman laughed out, as they entered the palace again.

“Whatever you say” Shancai answered.

“How’s your stomach? Enji kicked quite hard” Vinny questioned.

“Should be fine” the prince answered quickly.

“Sure thing” The cameraman answered, “Where’s the kitchen?” He asked, Shancai cocked his head to the side, before pointing to a direction. Vinny smiled smugly before grabbing the princes’ hand and beginning to drag him that direction.

“What are you doing?” Shancai questioned curiously.

“We’re getting you and ice pack” The cameraman answered, causing the prince to sigh.

“I don’t need one” Shancai spoke, only to be ignored by Vinny as they continued to walk that way. As they made it to the kitchen the cameraman shoved the prince down on chair.

“Unbutton your shirt or something, I need to put this on” The cameraman spoke, in a tone that could not be argued, as Shancai unbuttoned and took off his shirt, placing it to the side. Vinny grabbed an ice pack from the freezer and a paper towel before wrapping the ice pack in it.

The cameraman sat on a chair next to the prince and pressed the wrapped ice pack against it. “Fucking hell…it’s bruising already, at least you had your armour on” Vinny spoke, as he stared at the swelling abdomen.

“Now think if he hit you” Shancai spoke, trying to make the cameraman feel less guilty about this, “You weren’t wearing armour plus you’re smaller than me, meaning it would’ve hurt you way more than me” the prince added.

“Ok ok geez I get it” Vinny chuckled as he jokingly rolled his eyes. The awkward silence was there again, as the cameraman kept the ice pack pressed against the princes’ abdomen.

“I can hold it myself” Shancai spoke up, breaking the tension.

“I know…but this makes me feel less guilty about you getting hurt” Vinny answered, receiving a understanding hum from the prince.

“We can…both agree not to tell anyone about this, right?” Shancai questioned as he looked at the cameraman.

“Oh definitely” Vinny instantly answered, “Last thing I need, is everyone even more worried about me…” he sighed out.

“Agreed…my mother would over worry about me, she dislikes me going out late on patrols” The prince confessed.

“To be honest you do go out late” Vinny answered, “Does she care when Willow goes out?” He asked.

“Yes, but Willow stays in the forest most of the time, my mother is used to her being absent, but she makes sure Willow checks in with her before she rests” Shancai answered.

“That’s nice…” The cameraman spoke.

“Speaking of Willow, she needs to go back to the forest tomorrow, she can’t leave it unguarded for so long and with Rushifa growing braver with her attempts, the forest needs someone more familiar with what it contains other than a few soldiers” Shancai answered.

“That’s a shame…she’ll say bye at least?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from the prince, the silence came back as time flew by, twenty minutes had gone by and the cameraman removed the ice pack from the princes’ abdomen. “Should we bandage that up or something?” He asked.

“Yes, there should be some bandages up there” Shancai answered, as he pointed up at a cupboard. Vinny nodded and went to the cupboard, opening it and finding a box.

“This it?” The cameraman asked as he showed the box, receiving a nod from the prince. Vinny came back and sat down, opening the box. Shancai reached for the bandages, but the cameraman gently knocked his hand away. “I’m doing it” he spoke.

“Very well” The prince answered, slightly amused by Vinnys’ attitude. The cameraman unrolled the bandage roll slightly before watching as Shancai sat up, getting his back off the chair, allowing the cameraman to have clearer access to the whole abdomen.

Vinny began carefully wrapping it around the princes’ body, he still couldn’t get over how nice the vitiligo and body patterns were. “Geez you’re jacked” The cameraman chuckled softly, it wasn’t a joke Shancai did have muscles, made sense, he was pretty strong and clearly trained a lot.

“Thank you” The prince answered, he seemed surprised by the constant compliments from the cameraman. As Vinny finished wrapping the bandage around the princes’ body, he sat up properly.

“Is that good?” The cameraman asked, receiving a nod from the prince.

Shancai stood up before filling two bowls of food and putting them in the microwave. “I’m not-“ Vinny was cut off.

“If you’re not hungry then I’m not taller than you” The prince spoke.

“B-but you are taller?” The cameraman answered.

“Exactly” Shancai answered as he leaned back against the counter slowing the food to heat up.

“Okay okay, you win again” Vinny chuckled, hanging out with Shancai was nice, he was calm, relaxing, he made the cameraman feel safe, Willow, Deity and Shancai, all made him feel safe…they felt like family…

Vinny was snapped out of his thoughts as the prince handed him the bowl of food, which he took happily. “Thanks” the cameraman spoke.

“We’ve had a busy night, best we eat and rest, then in the morning we can talk about me training you” Shancai answered, as he received a nod.

The food was nice, he was able to eat, he didn’t feel as sick when he ate, he didn’t think of Rushifa as much and the human meat taste was overwhelmed by the different rush of flavours from the food he was given. It felt heavenly.

Shancai seemed to notice how much Vinny was enjoying the food, it was probably the big happy and content smile on his face. “I thought you weren’t hungry?” The prince teased.

“Oh shut up” The cameraman laughed out, “You know I was lying” he continued, as he ate more. Shancai let out a content sigh as he continued to eat.

They both finished eating eventually, Vinny had insisted on doing the dishes despite the princes’ retorts. After the cameraman finished washing the dishes Shancai put his shirt back on. “You can be very insistent at times” the prince spoke to Vinny as they began walking down the halls.

“Is that a problem?” The cameraman joked, Shancai shook his head in response, before they both made it to their rooms. “I’ll see you tomorrow” Vinny spoke to the prince.

“Try to rest up, I wake up early tomorrow” The prince spoke before opening the door, “Good night” he spoke once more, before closing the door. Vinny smiled to himself, Shancai felt like the brother he never had.

The cameraman entered his room and kicked off his shoes, before entering the bathroom and quickly brushing his teeth. He dropped on the bed, staring at the makeshift cloak with the Phoenix clasp. It was nice, he should wear that more often.

Vinny let out a soft content moan as he nuzzled the pillow and pulled the blanket over himself, before slowly drifting off.

(I wrote a lot my stars, so eat up, also Shancai and Vinny isn’t anything more than brotherly, I can feel people think that it’s a bit weird how much Vinny compliments Shancai, but it’s just that Vinny can appreciate a pretty man, Vinny loves Garmadon)
