Zestial that u????

i don't know if the guy in the picture next to lucifer has an identity but that picture must've been taken ages ago due to lucifer wearing Charlies' current suit but the guy reminds me of Zestial imagine if this was before he became and overlord and we already know that Zestial is extremely old sorry if i don't know who that character is

i've heard multiple people talking about how lego should change Ninjagos' artstyle into monkie kids' artstyle and i honestly don't agree, I'll tell you why. Ninjago has been around for over a decade and has been apart of so many childhoods while Monkie kid has been around for a few years and honestly i love Monkie Kids' artstyle it's fun and creative though you can't expect Lego to change the style of a show that has been around for way way longer

A Fiery Lovestory (Red Son x Mk) part 12

(I suggest you check out parts 1-11 if you haven't already)

(With Sandy) Sandy woke up and stretched he looked towards the side of his bed expecting to see Mo there. It took him a moment but he realised his cat wasn't there quickly. "Mo!?" Sandy called out instantly going into a state of panic due to not having his precious kitten with him. The gentle giant began going through his boat house lifting up couches checking high and low for his cat.

Eventually after around 30minutes of searching he decided to go over to the noodle shop. "What's up with Mk?" Tang said to Pigsy inside the shop, "Don't know maybe h-" Pigsy was cut off by Sandy rushing into the shop. "Sandy! Geez trying to give us a heart attack" Tang shouted before slowly calming down. "I can't find Mo!" Sandy exclaimed his voice full of worry. "Wait what? Are you sur-" Pigsy asked before getting cut off again, "Yes I checked around the whole boat house!" Sandy replied knowing what the rest of the question would be.

Pigsy let out a sigh, "Maybe he just managed to escape and went somewhere?" He spoke out quickly not wanting to be interrupted again. "Where would he go?!" Sandy replied, "Sandy don't worry, Mo is a smart cat he's probably safe and is trying to get back here" Tang said in an attempt to comfort his worried friend. "Yea Tang is right he probably is sa-" Pigsy was cut off a third time by Mk rushing back in. "Sorry! Forgot a few orders....Sandy? Why are you here?" The noodle boy asked as he quickly noticed Sandy. "Mo is missing" The gentle giant replied sadly, "Wait actually?! I'll keep a look out for him while I'm delivering and when I'm done I'll go around" Mk replied making Sandy smile.

(Meanwhile with Red Son) The fire demon teleported into Megatroplis and had Mo on his shoulder. "You're one lucky cat..." Red Son said to Mo who meowed happily in response before nuzzling against Red Sons' cheek. "And you're cute..." The fire demon mumbled before putting on a hoodie and walking around. "The noodle shop was this way, right?" The fire demon asked the cat, Mo gave him an 'idk' look. "How can you not kn-...never mind I can't be mad at you.." Red Son said before continuing to walk.

"Well...here we are..." The fire demon said before looking through the window, "He should be gone by now..." he added noticing Mk in the window, from his time with him he quickly learnt what times Mk had work. Mo meowed happily once he saw Sandy in there. "There he is...you can go now..." Red Son said, Mo hissed in protest wanting the fire demon to take him in. "Really like being treated like royalty..." Red Son mumbled as he listened to Mo.

The fire demon hesitantly went in covering his face with the hoodie and looking at the ground. Mo suddenly relaxed in Red Sons' arms. "Oh hey a customer!" Mk said out noticing the person aka Red Son come in. "I-I'm not a customer...j-just came here to return someone I found..." Red Son responded before Mo jumped onto the ground. "Mo!" Sandy exclaimed happily.

Mo nuzzled against Sandy happily, the noodle boy looked at Red Son finding his voice sort of familiar. "Weird...so what's your name?" Pigsy asked, as he stared at Red Son clearly not knowing who it was, "I-I umm my name?" The fire demon responded clearly not expecting this. Pigsy nodded, "W-well" Red Son really didn't want to tell them his name and couldn't think of one on the spot. Mo suddenly climbed back onto Red Son and pulled back his hoodie. "Shit..." The fire demon mumbled.

"Red Son?!" The group exclaimed clearly not expecting this. "Maybe you're the one that kidnapped Mo!" Pigsy hissed angrily before he was ready to through and ladle at Red Son. "R-Red Son did you really?" Mk stuttered out, "No I didn't you noodle brains!" The fire demon responded as he tried leaving. Sandy looked pissed at the thought of someone kidnapping Mo, just as Pigsy was about to Mo stood in front of Red Son and hissed at the others.

Overwhelmed(Part 11 Vinny x Garmadon)

(You should check out parts 1-10 if you haven’t already, yea guys I’m uploading again I think it’ll be a little longer and hopefully better than part 10 cause like I had no idea what to write for that part and I was extremely busy but I care about ya’ll so I made time)

After that little outburst at Misako, Garmadon just stormed off to his room went in, “Garm..?What’s wrong..?”Vinny asked knowing something was off. There was no response instead Garmadon just stood there. Vinny placed his book to the side. “Sweetheart…come here…”Vinny said holding out his arms inviting Garmadon into a hug. The larger was hesitant but hugged his lover and hid his face in Vinnys’ chest. “Do you wanna talk about it…?”Vinny asked which Garmadon mumbled no.

Vinny held Garmadons’ hand which was repeated by the larger. “Did you get into a fight with someone…?”Vinny asked, the thought of what just happened stressed Garmadon out and he squeezed Vinny’s’ hand tightly. Since he isn’t necessarily human his grip was much tighter. It hurt Vinny and it didn’t help that it was the one that is burnt, Vinny thought his heart is pure he didn’t say anything not wanting his lover to be upset even more. Vinny used his left hand to stoke Garmadons’ sliver hair. “Was it Lloyd..?”He asked which Garmadon shook his head. “I won’t ask you anymore questions I don’t want to make you uncomfortable”Vinny added.

There was a knock at the door, it was Lloyd and Wu. The two had heard the whole argument between Garmadon and Misako, they both felt a sense of guilt. “May we come in?”Wu asked which Vinny nodded to. They both walked in and sat on the bed. Lloyd was staring at how Garmadon was holding onto Vinny he wanted to hate it but he couldn’t he has seen how the two act and can help but think the two make a good couple. “Do you know what happened..?”Vinny asked, Wu nodded in response. Vinny gently lifted Garmadons’ head, “Can they tell me what happened…?”He asked calmly if his lover didn’t want him know then he wouldn’t know no matter how curious he is. Garmadon nodded before nuzzling Vinnys’ chest. “Ok so what happened?who the fuck made him upset?”Vinny asked his whole attitude changed from aww my poor sweetheart to I’m gonna fucking kill someone. Lloyd and Wu could really tell Vinny was serious. “Ok so what happened is…” (I’m not explaining that go read the other parts and find out)

After they finished explaining Vinny looked flustered at the fact Garmadon said those things about him and pissed off he looked like he was gonna go kill Misako. Garmadon was quiet he didn’t want to think about it so he said nothing and continued to cling onto Vinny. “When I get my fucking hands on I’m gonna…”Vinny whispered looking away but clearly not quiet enough as all three of them heard him. Garmadon felt flustered at the thought of Vinny being protective of someone who could very much protect himself. “We understand you’re angry but please try to avoid Misako I don’t need anything else happening”Wu said.

Garmadon looked up at Vinny before gently kissing him and saying, “I love you..”then going back to snuggling him. Vinny turned this bright red and stared at Wu and Lloyd who were just as surprised as Vinny. “So I was right”Wu said causing Lloyd to turn to him. “What do you mean you were right?”He asked, “Did you not see their unusually close bond”Wu said, Lloyd was gonna say something else but said, “Fair enough”. “Well you know now, the only person that knew about it was Nya, she walked in on me showering Garm in kisses”Vinny said. “I’d appreciate it if you don’t tell anyone else”He added causing the two to nod in agreement. “I want to know everything, more so on the lines how the fuck did you confess”Lloyd said.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon) Part 99

(I suggest you check out parts 1-98 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Morning came quickly as Vinny was once again awoken by the blinding sun, it took him a minute to realise that Nyssa was still next to him, awake as well.

“Morning…” the cameraman yawned as he stretched.

“Mornin’ sleepy head, sleep well?” She asked as she stared out the bars.

“Yea…” Vinny answered, “Best sleep I had in a while, strange though considering I killed someone yesterday”

“Exhaustion caught up to you I guess” Nyssa chuckled, “Also you’re gonna eat, I don’t care what to you, you haven’t eaten in a while”

“Alright” the cameraman sighed out, he was too tired to protest and watched her get up and go to find some food.

As Vinny looked around the cell, he saw Tenshi in the same spot as al, the others day. He really like that spot. Though the cameraman looked away, he didn’t want Tenshi think he was prying.

Once again Vinny found himself staring out at the arena. The plan had to work. If it didn’t work…well, let’s say he would have no idea of how to escape and they would all die. He was drawn out of his thoughts by Nyssa coming back and sitting back down next to him while handing him a bowl.

“Tenshi’s in a mood” she spoke up, “but whatever plan you have must be good, right?”

“Yea…if I’m right it should take us out of this place” the cameraman answered as he stared at the bowl of ‘food’.

“Well, I don’t have much hope for it” Nyssa laughed, “but it’s our only option and I trust you, anyone who has the guts to yell at grandpa over there” she added as he pointed at Tenshi.

“Thanks…” Vinny sighed out as he reluctantly ate, just as bad as he remembered.

“So it’s gonna be groups of three, the three people you’re closest too when were sent to those other cells” Nyssa said, “Like it or not, but we’re gonna have to sit with Tenshi for a while”

“It’s fine, all I can hope is that he won’t kill me” The cameraman chuckled half-heartedly as he anxiously brushed a hand through his hair.

“He won’t, like I said, he’s just a grumpy old man” Nyssa laughed as she put a hand on his back. “Up you get, it’s best we sit close to him now” she added as she standing up.

“Alright…” Vinny sighed out as he stood up and followed her.

“Don’t kill him” Nyssa spoke to Tenshi as she slumped down against the wall, the cameraman sitting next to her, trying to avoid being near Tenshi.

“Don’t have a reason to” Tenshi muttered under his breath as he very obviously rolled his eyes.

“C’mon! Have some faith in him” Nyssa said as she gently elbowed him, “It’s worth a shot either way, you’ve been here for 25 years! Anything’s worth a shot”

Vinny smiled softly, he enjoyed having someone here believe in him. Nyssa had the welcoming energy Willow, and the love of Deity with wits of Shancai.

Tenshi was only much like Shancai, quiet, brave and strong, emotions well hidden. It wasn’t something that Vinny minded, sure Tenshi was on the grumpy side, but 25 years trapped in this hellhole? He couldn’t blame Tenshi at all.

“Keep eating” Tenshi just grumbled to Nyssa, who just laughed and kept eating.

“Honestly best out come for this is that we fight near the end” Nyssa spoke up, Tenshi nodded while the cameraman looked at them with curiosity.

“Beginning is when the more entertaining ones fight, near the end is the weaker ones” Tenshi explained.

“I don’t think we’re gonna go near the end” Vinny confessed.

“Why’s that?” Nyssa asked.

“Have you seen us? We have a man who’s been here for 25 years” the cameraman explained.

“He’s right, but if your plan works and it better work then it won’t be much of a problem” Tenshi spoke up as he glared at Vinny.

“Then we’ll just have to hope his plan works” Nyssa said with a smile as she tried comforting the cameraman.

The two just nodded as they sat in silence for a few minutes, the tension was thick yet no one wanted to break. No one knew what to say.

“Let’s say we do escape…” Nyssa began, her voice soft as she rested her head against the wall, “What are we gonna do?”

Silence. Before it was broken once more.

“Find my wife and kids…” Tenshi whispered as he caught both of their attention.

“That’s sweet…I never knew you were married…” Nyssa chuckled, “You?” She asked Vinny.

“I…” the cameraman spoke, his voice quiet. He didn’t really know what to do. He wanted to find his friends, he wanted to find Garmadon. But then what? Rida was still gonna go after him. Rida wanted something from him, but what?

“You okay?” Nyssa asked, it was obvious Vinny had a lot on his mind.

“Y-yea sorry…” the cameraman answered, “I need to get back to my friends and deal with something when I’m out of here”

“What about you?” Tenshi asked Nyssa.

“Me? I don’t have much planned” she answered though it was vague.

“Family or friends?” The cameraman questioned.

“None that would particularly care, as for family there’s none” Nyssa awkwardly confessed as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“Oh” Tenshi and Vinny said in unison, it was as if they were hit by a truck.

“Well! You can stay with us, right Tenshi?” Vinny asked, he was more than welcome with Nyssa staying with him.

“I mean…sure?” Tenshi answered awkwardly.

“You don’t have to do that…” Nyssa said as she smiled softly.

“Oh please! Yes I do, so you’re staying with me when we do get out” the cameraman reassured her.

“Thanks…” Nyssa sighed out, this was nice.

The three sat there for a while before they were dropped in a cell. “Great” Vinny sighed out as he fell on the ground, he was never gone get used to that.

“Well whatever you have planned better not get us killed” Tenshi said as he got up and stared out of the cell, two different cells opened as 6 people were released.

“At least we’re not fighting first” Nyssa spoke as she tried lightening the mood.

“I guess…” the cameraman answered as he stared out the cell too, his hand reaching for his dagger in his pocket.

“Don’t fight, whatever you have to do, do it while we distract them” Nysaa spoke as she pulled Vinnys’ hand away from his pocket.

“She’s right, if you’re right with your plan it’s best you do it while we make sure you survive” Tenshi added.

“Alright…” the cameraman sighed out, protesting against them was useless and well it’s not like he wanted to piss Tenshi off more.

Slowly but surely, their gate opened. Vinny was nervous. And so was Nyssa. Tenshis’ expression was unreadable as they walked out, his hand holding onto the axe.

They were going against Tex and 2 other people, Vinny couldn’t remember anyone else and didn’t want to.

Quickly they started fighting, Vinny dodged attacks the best he could, but it was tough. One person had an arrow and was constantly shooting while the other two were close combat.

But Tenshi held them off well and it was impressive. Fighting alongside him was when Vinny could really appreciate his strength.

Nyssa was good too, defending herself with ease. Though the cameraman turned his attention, trying to find the mirror shard on the ground.

“What’s up?” Nyssa questioned as she came closer to Vinny, she was curious if he was trying to do whatever he was planning.

“Trying to find something…” the cameraman answered as Nyssa continued defending herself.

“Take as long as you need!” Tenshi hissed as he tightened his grip on the axe before swinging it, a sickening shriek as a hand fell to the ground.

Vinny ignored it the best he could as he continued scanning the area, thought he sound of grunting and weapons clashing against each other was quite distracting. His eyes caught on a shine, across the whole arena, perfect…right past the enemies.

“Nyssa!” The cameraman called out, she snapped her head towards him. “I need you to cover me!”

“Where to?” She questioned, Vinny pointed the way and she just nodded.

“Tenshi! Help me cover him!” She called out, a nod from him as well as he came closer.

“Be quick” Tenshi said to Vinny.

“I’ll try!” Vinny awkwardly chuckled as he ran out, arrows flew by, but they were knocked away by Nyssa while people were kept away from Vinny.

The cameraman ran, faster than ever. He ignored everything around him and just fixated on the stupid piece of mirror that could be his way out of here.

As an arrow almost hit him, he lunged forward towards the ground, dodging it and grabbing the shard off the ground. He took a deep breath. He wasn’t dead, yay.

Staring at the shard, he got back up and stared at Nyssa and Tenshi who were looking at him with curiosity. Vinny ran to them again, trying his best and managed to dodge attacks again.

“Vinny what-?” Nyssa was cut off by her arm and Tenshis’ arm being grabbed by Vinny as he ran dragging them along.

“Just run around, I need to fix this!” The cameraman answered as he stared at the mirror shard, reluctantly the two listened following him and still managed to fight back.

Best thing would be if they were taken to the monastery, Ivory Kingdom or his apartment. Any would be good. He didn’t mind going anywhere. He just wanted out of here.

“Hold onto me!” Vinny said, the two listened and grabbed Vinnys’ arm as he threw the mirror shard in the air, he was just copying what Enji always did.

The mirror shard came back down, instead of hitting them in the head, they were instead engulfed by it and dropped into a house. The three laid on their backs as they just blinked, the mirror shard on their ground.

Slowly, but surely Vinny sat up and looked around. He was at his apartment. “Yes! Fuck yes!” The cameraman shouted as he got off the ground and slumped down on the couch.

Nyssa and Tenshi laid on the ground for a while before Nyssa got up first. “Where…are we?” She asked, cautiously as she looked around.

“My apartment! And I told you it would work!” The cameraman answered happily, he had never been so relieved before.

“So we’re…free?” She questioned, Vinny nodded and pulled her down to sit on the couch. “Wow…” she whispered as she looked at the roof.

“You ok?” Vinny asked her.

“Y-yea…I don’t know to process this!” She chuckled.

“What about you?” The cameraman asked Tenshi, who was still laid on his back on the ground, staring at the ceiling.

“I don’t know…” Tenshi whispered.

“C’mon! Get up, this couch is soft!” Nyssa laughed out as she pulled Tenshi up and onto the couch.

“I’m not as dumb as I look” Vinny chuckled to the two.

“Clearly!” Nyssa laughed as she ruffled his hair, thought Wh two were distracted by Tenshi standing up and going out to the balcony. It was midday, the sun was gonna set soon.

Nyssa and Vinny exchanged looks, they hadn’t been stuck in that hellhole for as long as Tenshi…they couldn’t possibly imagine what he was feeling…

The two stood up and stood on both sides of Tenshi, wind hitting against their faces. It was the best feeling.

“I told you I would get us out, I meant it…you’ve been trapped there long enough…” Vinny said softly as he tried comforting Tenshi. “You were right to doubt me though, it was a stupid plan…”

“A stupid plan indeed! But it worked and we’re free!” Nyssa sighed out.

“Pinch me…” Tenshi spoke up, the two looked confused, before Nyssa pinched him.

“It’s not a dream…we’re free” Nysaa said softly.

“Yea, and none of us will ever get stuck b-“ Vinny was cut off by two arms wrapping around him and hugging him.

“Thank you…” Tenshi whispered as he hugged the cameraman tightly.

Vinny stood there for a moment before returning the hug, “No problem…” he whispered.

“I want a hug” Nyssa spoke, the two laughed and hugged her two.

“What now?” Nyssa asked as she smiled at them.

“Right now? We’re all gonna shower and then eat” the cameraman answered, Tenshi laughed out.

“I suppose we all are due for a good shower” he sighed out.

“I think I can find some spare clothes for you two, just for the timing being in case you want to wear your old ones, I’ll wash them” Vinny said, receiving a nod from Nysaa.

“I don’t have much clothes either way, these are long over due to be thrown out” Tenshi sighed out.

“You wanna cut your hair?” Vinny asked him.

“A brush is fine, I’m better off detangling it” Tenshi answered.

“How so?” Nyssa laughed, as they followed Vinny who went back inside the apartment.

“Wouldn’t you like to know” Tenshi answered.

“You two decide who’s showering first, I have things I need to do” the cameraman spoke up as he sat on the chair near the kitchen bench.

Tenshi and Nyssa decided that she would go first, she’d be finished quicker.

Vinny had a lot on his mind, Rida was bothering him. “Calm down kid, you need a break…you got us out of that place” Tenshi spoke up as he sat next to him.

“I know…but Rida won’t leave us alone right?” The cameraman answered.

“Yea…” Tenshi sighed out, “But, that can be a tomorrow problem, I shouldn’t have doubted you…”

“It’s not your fault, it was a stupid thing” Vinny sighed, “Some random person shows up and says he has a plan to get out of here, that sounds stupid”

“I guess it does” Tenshi chuckled, “But thanks…it’s nice you got Nyssa out of there, she’s young…doesn’t deserve to rot in there like me…”

“She’s nice, and you didn’t deserve to stay in that place either…” Vinny said as he smiled softly, Tenshi just hummed in response. “Go sleep on the couch if you want, I’ll wake you up when she finishes”

“Alright” Tenshi sighed as he got up, “Thanks again” he repeated as he patted Vinnys’ back before laying on the couch.

This was nice…he was free, he had more friends and he wasn’t alone all the time…he still missed Garmadon…is that how Tenshi felt? 25 years away from his wife? The thought caused guilt to formed in Vinnys’ stomach…

(I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR A WHILE BUT I’VE BEEN SO BUSY AND WRITERS’ BLOCK IS THE WORSE)

Hello again! Here's a doodle of these two ithaca brother. (Telemachus and Malachi my oc.) Malachi have pointy ears which are covered by his hair. I forgot to add his scars in his face cause I got lazy-

Yay Telemarket design! (??)

I like the trope of younger bro (tele) is taller than their older brother. (Malachi.)

Also sandal warning and Malachi being that Demonic protective brother, this is just a scenario I had listening to Little Wolf.

Bro's about to track down and murder Antinous with a le chancla. Antinous better run faster than Hermes cause Mal is gonna appear at him any minute.

Telemachus has the power of a pissed-off Malachi..

Bonus a drawing of Malachi fingers:

AAAAA TELEPHONE LOOKS SO CUTE I WANNA HUG HIM

Malachi is very creative with his threats and now I’m scared, Amphinomus is a lucky man.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 71

(I suggest you check out parts 1-70 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

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

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

“New threat?” Willow muttered to Vinny.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Shall we warm up?” Zane questioned.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“That’s wise” Zane spoke.

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

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

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

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

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

“He’ll hurt them?” Vinny asked her.

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

“What?” Lloyd asked curiously.

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

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

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

“N-nothing!” Nya spoke immediately.

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

“You sure this is good?” Vinny asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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