(I suggest you check out part 1-5 if you haven't already also Red Son is a heavy sleeper)
Mk let out a sigh as he entered the noodle shop he was at work for a few hours and it was 5pm. "Hey kid! Didn't run into any scary demons today?" Pigsy asked as he entered, "Other than Monkey King scaring me to death, thankfully no" Mk said tiredly before stretching, "You hungry? It's on the house today" Pigsy said he was in a good mood today, "If you don't want it I'll take it!" Tang chimed in earning a bonk on the head from Pigsy. "Um, yea sure, but make it to go I'm really tired" Mk responded before sitting down next to Tang. He submerged in his thoughts hoping his apartment was safe and that Red Son didn't do anything. But life isn't easy and then all his thoughts were filled with was about Red Son, in fact he was so distracted he didn't notice that Pigsy and Tang have been calling him, "Mk you alright? You seem really distracted today" Tang said worriedly as he pat MKs' back, "Haha...yea I'm fine just really tired and have a lot on my mind today" Mk responded, "Well you can always talk to us" Pigsy said before handing Mk a bag with noodles in it, "Thanks see you later" Mk said before leaving and going to his apartment.
Mk carefully opened the door not knowing what he was going to see, he tensed up slightly seeing that the lights were turned off and carefully put the noodles to the side and began looking around, the TV was off and he looked around until a soft little purr caught his attention, he looked at the couch to see Red Son, hugging a pillow and laying there fast asleep. Seeing this Mk let out a sigh of relief before going to the other side of the couch. The noodle boy stared at the fire demon completely entranced in his looks. After a minute Mk looked around, "Haha I am such a weirdo..." Mk quietly laughed out before crouching on his knees and gently caressing Red Sons' cheek.
A small little smile creeped on the fire demons' face before purring quietly then nuzzling his face into the pillow, "Holy shit...he's like a cat..." Mk thought as his cheeks heated up. The noodle kissed Red Sons' forehead before calling himself weird again and getting up before going to his room. Mk let out a sigh before going to eat he began eating while scrolling through his phone. The noodles had a comforting smell and was warm. After 5 minutes he made sure to dispose of the rubbish not wanting to put Red Sons' work to shame and he also noticed Red Son did the dishes from after the pancakes when he left for work. Mk went to his room to have a much deserved shower.
He turned on the tap and stripped before going in. This was just what he needed after a long day at work, the water dripping down his body as his muscles loosened. It was a 20minute shower mainly cause he just wanted to stay in the water but he got out and began looking a for a certain jumper that some certain fire demon might be wearing, he realised his room has been tampered with and began looking around seeing if anything dangerous was taken not that he has much dangerous things. Ultimately he ended up in a shirt and shorts which was surprising due to the cold weather and thankfully nothing bad was taken from his room. When he went out of his room to his surprise he saw Macaque hovering near Red Son, "Heya bud..." Macaque said out awkwardly honestly he had no idea Mk was here. Mk was quick and summoned his staff, "The hell are you doing here..." Mk hissed his voice laced with poison. The shadow monkey held out his hands as a sign of mercy. "Calm down, just came to check on Red I don't want to fight" Macaque said quietly as he lifted the blanket higher on Red Son. "How can I believe that?" Mk growled as he moved closer to Macaque with his staff in hand.
"C'mon bud you really think I would lie to my favourite student?" Macaque replied before backing away, "I'm not your student and you're making it really hard to believe you" Mk replied before moving closer to Macaque making him move away from Red Son. Macaque noticed this and smirked, "Ohhhh, I get it now you like him, and you don't want me anywhere near him, kinda ironic since you almost killed him yesterday, buuuut... we all have bad days" Macaque said causing Mk to blush and feel a little bit guilty about yesterday. "I don't know what you're talking about" Mk replied visibly annoyed. "Of course you do bud, and I'm not judging Red Son seemed quite comfortable in your clothes when I came by before" the shadow monkey said, hearing this MKs' eyes widened, "You came here before?" Mk asked.
Macaque let out a sigh, "Listen Mk, I really don't want to fight just need to check up on Red son every now and then, I came here before because he was missing from the castle last night and I had to lie to his parents, Red's a good kid just is associated with the wrong demons" Macaque said before looking at Red Son, "Does that include you?" Mk asked, "Haha...not really I'm the only one he actually trusts..." Macaque said his voice now sounding broken, Mk lowered his staff and let out a sigh, "You know he won't be staying here, right? He's loyal to his parents..." The shadow monkey said his voice sounding more and more broken especially at the last part. "What does that mean?" The noodle boy asked as he put his staff away. "I-I can't tell you, b-but know he'll be out of here tomorrow" Macaque said, Mk was gonna say something but Mk slipped into the shadows.
Mk let out a sigh then stared at Red Son, "Oh firefly what have you gotten yourself into...?" Mk asked him knowing there wasn't going to be an answer.
(Woooo hope you enjoy ngl I really like this chapter ALSO Macaque reveals his blind eye and 6 ears around Red Son when they're alone due to how much he trusts him and Macaque covers up his eye to anyone else with an X shape across it)

Acronix woke up the next day he was on a beanbag exactly where he was yesterday he looked around and saw Cyrus already awake back on his computer. “What’s the time..?”Acronix asked in a tired voice Cyrus turned his attention to the tired one, “Good morning and it’s…8:30!”Cyrus replied Acronix stared at him surprisingly, “When the fuck did you get up then…it’s so early..”He asked Cyrus as he stretched still sitting on the beanbag wanting to go back to sleep (average morning) “I think I woke up at around…6:15”Cyrus responded staring at his laptop, “please tell I didn’t hear that right but did you say 6:15” Acronix responded which Cyrus nodded in response.
“How and why…?”The previous master of time asked, “I always wake up at that time and I have work to do”Cyrus chuckled out finding the way Acronix reacted cute. He stared at Cyrus before plummeting the back of his head into the beanbag. “I don’t understand the only time I would ever wake up at that time is if my brother forced me to”Acronix didn’t understand how someone could wake up so early. “Are you hungry?”Cyrus asked closing his laptop Acronix nodded he just realised he hasn’t eaten at all yesterday and he was starving. Cyrus made a bowl of noodles (cause apparently they eat noodles for breakfast i searched it up) he handed it to Acronix, “Thanks..”he said to Cyrus who smiled at him.
Cyrus received a phone call and answered it, “Hello? Oh hello Pixal what can I do for you?” Cyrus said over the phone. “Oh you need to come over here with the ninja…umm ok I’ll see you 12? Alright”Cyrus said as he hung up. “Soooo umm…yea the ninja are coming so you’ll probably need to hide they need some things from here” he explained to Acronix which he nodded to as he continued eating. “Thank you for not telling them…”Acronix said earning a sigh from Cyrus, “I told its fine I don’t mind but we have 3 hours till they come so let’s make the most of it”Cyrus chuckled out.
The two began talking about things they like which they had a few things in common like they both loved cats, and both interested in technology Cyrus showed Acronix multiple pieces of technology which stunned the previous master of time, he was really easily impressed by technology. “ Y’know you’re like a kid in a candy store” Cyrus chuckled out hearing this made Acronix blush, “I-I am?” He stuttered out. “Yea your just so happy and interested when I show you different things”Cyrus said. He was really embarrassed how could he be flustered by Cyrus.
After a while it was 11:50, “You should just stay in my room for the time being and honestly I’m sure this will keep you occupied for the time being” Cyrus said as he handed Acronix a borgpad. “Ooooo thanks” Acronix responded. Cyrus waved bye as he left his room looking it.
“Pixal it’s good to see you again and you too ninja I haven’t seen you since well the time twins”Cyrus chuckled out hugging Pixal. “Yea it’s great to see you too Cyrus and this time not in danger”Kai responded. “Follow me and explain what you need I’m sure I have it”Cyrus said as he rolled into his office with the ninja following.

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.

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.
also if it isn’t much to ask send asks to my sideblog @criollastar it’s where all my epic stuff is.

Vinnys’ eyes fluttered open as soft chirping from birds and sunshine awakened him. Slowly, but surely he sat up and looked around. Nyssa and Tenshi were both still asleep. Good. He didn’t want to burden them. The cameraman sucked in his breath as his knuckles stung.
He lifted his hand and stared at his bandaged hand. Right. Guess punching a mirror did that. He swung his legs over the side of the couch and stuffed his face in his hands. What was he meant to do?
Gathering all his strength Vinny forced himself onto his legs, before trembling slightly though managing to balance himself as he quietly walked over to the bathroom. Not wanting to wake up Nyssa and Tenshi.
He blinked when he entered the bathroom. The broken mirror shards had been cleaned up, and the broken mirror had a cloth over it. Gods…he felt so guilty for making them do that. To take care of him. Pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic…
His breathing quickened as he leaned against the sink and clutched his chest. “Breathe…” Vinny whispered to himself. He didn’t want to wake them up again, they needed sleep.
He stood there for what seemed like hours before his breathing relaxed and his body slowly grew less tense. He was jumpy. Easily triggered. His emotions were sensitive. And it was making him drown. “Fuck…” he muttered, before it slowly turned into a hysteric chuckle.
He was going insane! Funny! He managed to stumble his way out of the kitchen and drop down on the couch. Using his hand to stifle his hysterical laughter. Oh gods…this wasn’t even the worst of it…he could tell. Rida was planning something big. And it would tip him over!
“Vinny…” Tenshi whispered from the other side of the couch as he stared so him.
The cameraman stared at him before flashing him a forced smile, struggling to keep a straight face as he choked on laughter. Tenshis’ expression softened as he got up from his side of the couch and sat down next to Vinny.
“We’re gonna deal with this…I promise” Tenshi whispered as he pulled the cameraman into a hug. “I know what you’re feeling…but I swear it’ll stop…”
Vinny stayed quiet, other than a few soft choked laughs as he avoided eye contact. Slowly those laughs turned into broken sobs as he flinged to Tenshi like a koala to a tree. He was miserable.
It seemed all he did was sleep and cry. He wanted to do something. Something other than cry…
He flinched as he felt another hand rest on his shoulder, before he slowly relaxed. He couldn’t even look at Nyssa like this. It was shameful.
“So, what are we gonna do today?” Nyssa questioned, very clearly trying to distract Vinny.
The cameraman stayed quiet for a minute before clearing his throat. “My friends, they’re probably worried and I need to explain all of this to them…” he whispered as he rubbed tears from his eyes, while laying limp in Tenshis’ arms.
“Then that’s what we’re doing” Nyssa answered with a large comforting smile.
Vinny slowly lifted his gaze and stared at her, he couldn’t stop the soft smile that crept onto his face. Though he turned his attention to Tenshi, a soft look as well. Comforting yet tormented. Years of being trapped.
“Alright then…” the cameraman breathed in as he sat up properly and rubbed his eyes, “So I’m gonna order us food, and then we can go…and your clothes should be dry now” he added as he looked at Nyssa.
Nysaa smiled happily, “Aye aye captain!” She joked as she ruffled his hair. “I’m not really hungry though…”
“Same” Tenshi spoke up. “We were barely fed back then, our appetite’s changed…”
“I’m not hungry either” the cameraman chuckled, “Just thought you two might be”
“Well we can eat later right?” Nyssa asked, receiving a nod from Vinny.
“So we just leave?” Tenshi asked.
“Yep” the cameraman answered.
“Well that’s easy” Nyssa said.
Vinny took a deep breath before getting up and stretching, “I’ll get your clothes” he said, receiving a nod from Nyssa as her and Tenshi watched him walk away.
The cameraman quickly grabbed the clothes before throwing them at Nyssa, who happily took them. “Shit they smell good!” She laughed as she got up before going to another room to change.
“That’s the point” Vinny jokingly called out in response, smiling at the soft laughter of Nyssa.
The cameraman let out a sigh as he sat down on the couch. “How are you gonna tell your friends….” Tenshi spoke up as he looked at Vinny.
“No idea…but they’ve met Enji before, they just don’t know I know him, and I told two about Rida…and there were some that had issues with both of them before…” Vinny said.
“Explaining this to your friends can either go great or terribly” Tenshi confessed, receiving a nod from the cameraman.
“They’re already worried with what’s wrong with me, first it was Enji that came and he fucked up my life” Vinny explained, “Then it was Rida, I thought he might’ve been better than Enji but no, he:S worse much worse”
“Rida conceals who he is, he acts like he’s your friend then stabs you in the back” Tenshi spoke.
“I learnt that the hard way” Vinny laughed out as he brushed a hand through his hair. “What’s the point of him trapping all of us?”
“No idea” Tenshi answered, “I doubt it’s just a source of entertainment and I hope it isn’t”
“Agreed, who’s so sick that they trap and make people fight just for entertainment” the cameraman sighed out.
“There probably is a deeper reason” Tenshi said, before turning his attention to the room Nyssa came out of.
“I have never felt better” Nyssa said with a large smile as she sat down next to them.
“Agreed” Tenshi spoke up, before watching Vinny get up and stretch. “We’re leaving?”
“The longer we take the leave the more time Rida has to find us” The cameraman muttered as he grabbed his cloak and wrapped his arm bracers in it before shoving his dagger in his pocket.
“Guess you’re right, and I really wanna meet your friends” Nyssa answered as she got up.
“Do you even have shoes?” Vinny asked, “I know you don’t” he said as he pointed at Tenshi.
“Sort of? Not really” Nyssa chuckled awkwardly before watching the cameraman grab some shoes.
“Both of you try them, some are too big for me” Vinny said as he gave them the shoes. “Socks” he threw socks at them.
The two nodded at him and tried the shoes on. “Well it fits” Tenshi confessed, Nyssa nodded in response.
“Then we leave” the cameraman answered as he went to the door and opened it, followed by Nyssa and Tenshi. “Also, don’t try to talk to anyone, people can either be an absolute bitch or too kind”
“Wasn’t planning on it” Tenshi answered as they walked out of the apartment and into an elevator which Nyssa was resisting poking the buttons.
Eventually they made it down and Vinny chuckled when he saw Nyssa and Tenshi squint their eyes. “You all fine with walking?” The cameraman questioned.
“Obviously” Nyssa teased, “Are you?”
“Yes I am” Vinny answered as he stuck out his tongue, smiling when he saw Tenshi let out a soft chuckle. “Walk‘s like 15 minutes, give or take”
“That’s not bad” Tenshi said, receiving a nod from the two as they began to walk. The walk was fairly boring expect Nyssa and Tenshi pretty much staring at everything and Nyssa petting every dog she saw. Vinny couldn’t blame her at all.
Eventually they stopped at a large staircase. “We’re here” the cameraman spoke up, his voice extremely shaky.
“I am not walking up there” Nyssa spoke bluntly as she stared up the stairs.
“Relax! You think I would?” Vinny laughed as he went over to an elevator. “This’ll take us right up!” He said with a nervous chuckle.
“Good” Nyssa and Tenshi said in unison as they followed Vinny. They watched him press the button and watched the elevator door open.
The three entered the elevator and watched it closed. As they all stood there Nyssa and Tenshi let our a sigh when they saw Vinny anxiously bouncing his leg.
“It’ll be fine” Nyssa comforted him as she patted his back.
“I doubt it…I should’ve told them straight away” the cameraman confessed as he brushed a hand through his hair while he still held his cloak.
“They’ll probably be a little upset, but they’ll understand” Tenshi said, receiving a soft smile from Vinny.
“Alright then…” the cameraman whispered before taking a deep breath as the elevator door opened. Nyssa and Tenshi exited it first, while Vinny just stood there. He didn’t want to do this.
“They’re gonna find out eventually” Tenshi said to him as he watched Vinny slowly exit the elevator.
“I know” the cameraman whined as he stood in front of the monastery door.
“They’ll understand” Nyssa said in an attempt to soothe his worries.
The cameraman took a deep breath before knocking on the monastery door. The three stood there for a minute. Vinnys’ heart pounding in his chest as his hair stood on ends.
He took a shaky breath when the door opened, Nya. Probably the best outcome. “H-hey?” Vinny greeted awkwardly before freezing when Nya hugged him.
“Where the hell did you go!?” The water ninja questioned. “And who are they?” She stared at Nyssa and Tenshi with a soft yet curious smile.
“It’s…best I explain it all with everyone” the cameraman confessed as he rubbed the back of his neck. “And this is Nyssa and Tenshi met them like 3 days ago, I’ll explain how but get everyone please” Vinny reluctantly spoke up.
“Alright…but you’re telling us the truth I don’t want elaborate lies” Nya sighed out as she rubbed her temples before letting the three in the monastery. “Sit out here, I’ll get them”
The three nodded, walked in and sat down together, before watching Nya go inside, “Everyone outside now!” Nya called out, causing Vinny to tense up, what’s about to happen was really hitting him.
“She seems fun” Nyssa told Vinny.
“That’s Nya, elemental master of water…she is fun, you’d like her” The cameraman answered.
“How many people do you have to explain this to?” Tenshi questioned.
“Uhh…” Vinny began to count on his fingers, “Nine here and three other people that aren’t here”
“Oh fuck…I thought it was like 5…” Nyssa confessed, “That’s worse than I thought…”
“I know” the cameraman sighed as he dropped his face in his hands. He didn’t want to do this anymore. He wanted to curl up in ball and die.
Nyssa and Tenshi said some things to him, probably something comforting, but he wasn’t listening, he was too absorbed in his own thoughts.
Vinny tensed up when he saw everyone come out of the monastery, their eyes landing on him, shock, confusion and worry. He tried his best to ignore how Garmadon was practically boring holes in his head.
“Told you he was alive…” Lloyd whispered to his father, receiving a soft nod. The cameraman could feel Nyssa and Tenshis’ worry for how this situation might go.
Vinny stared at the ground, ignoring what everyone was saying to him. They were worried, rightfully so. “I-I’ll explain…” he sighed out as he anxiously bounced his leg, watching as the others sat down, ready to listen.
This was gonna be terrible.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-95 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
The rest of the day was spent watching random people fighting, Nyssa didn’t fight though, but Vinny didn’t mind. He was scared of seeing her get hurt. Time went by painfully slow, before the cameraman fell through the ground again back into the large cell with all the other people.
Vinny quickly went to Nyssa and Tenshi, who already were together. “Dumbass” Nyssa sighed out to the cameraman, clearly talking about his actions while fighting.
“I know” Vinny whined as his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
“You can’t expect to leave this place if you’re dead” Tenshi spoke as he sat down against the wall, Nyssa sat down next to him.
“I know I know…” the cameraman repeated as he stared out the bars of the cell walking over to it.
“What are you looking at?” Nyssa called out as she cocked her head. Tenshi was just as confused, especially when Vinny didn’t answer. The sky was a little dark, but the cameraman could see faint shimmering in the distance underneath a body.
It was reflecting, a mirror. It didn’t seem like a normal mirror. Could it be? Maybe it was a mirror like Enjis’…if it was then that was their way out. If it was a normal mirror then he was fucked. He really hoped it was that mir-
Vinny humped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, Shit! Sorry sorry” Nyssa chuckled as she stared at the cameraman who almost had a heart attack.
“You scared me…” Vinny sighed out as he rubbed his head.
“Clearly…whatcha looking at?” She questioned as she stared out of the bars.
“Just seeing if there’s a way out…” the cameraman answered, it was half a lie and half a truth, he didn’t want to give them false hope.
“Good luck with that” Nyssa sighed out.
“Is there…any chance that we would all be out of the cells one day, me, you and Tenshi?” The cameraman questioned.
“I uh…yea? Should be like after tomorrow” Nyssa answered, very clearly confused.
“Any chance we can get our tomorrow?” Vinny asked as he stared out the cell, his attention back onto the mirror shard.
“Not really…the only way we can is if you fight again and stay out of your cell, Tenshi can break the bars for himself and me” Nyssa awkwardly answered as she looked back at Tenshi on the ground, who was looking at them with curiosity.
“Good…if I fight tomorrow can you do that?” The cameraman asked, his voice eerily calm as he provided no explanation.
“I can ask Tenshi?” Nyssa answered as she cocked her head, “What’s all this for?” She eventually spoke up.
“I have a plan…it could fail, but it’s probably our only way out” Vinny answered, causing her eyes to widen.
“How? There’s no exit. And we’re in a giant pit. Not like we can climb out” Nyssa sighed out as she rubbed her head.
“I can’t explain it yet…” the cameraman spoke, “I just need you to trust me…”
“Trust is a hard thing to earn in a place like this…” she spoke, causing Vinnys’ expression to soften. “But…if you have a plan then it’s worth a shot” she chuckled out as she patted his back. The cameraman smiled at her softly.
“Can you tell Tenshi?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod from Nyssa as she patted his back once more before walking back to Tenshi, who was trying to interpret the conversation.
The cameraman didn’t bother listening to the conversation and kept staring out the cell. Squinting his eyes harder as he desperately tried confirming that it was in fact a teleportation mirror.
He still couldn’t quite tell, the sky was getting darker by the minute. Vinny groaned quietly as he held onto the bars and rested his head against them.
This plan had to work. How else would he get out? He need to get back to the kingdom. Poor Deity, being the first to notice he’s missing. He had to get back! He had to get back to his friends! He had to get back to Garmadon-
“Fuck…” he whispered to himself as he lifted his head before knocking to back down on the bars. Didn’t hurt as much as he expected.
When he lifted his head once more, his heart dropped and his breath caught in his throat. In the blanket of darkness he could make out two bright orange eyes staring not at everyone…at him…
“Rida…” Vinny spat out with pure malice as his grip tightened on the bars. He was scared of course. But angry too. This whole time he thought Rida was somewhat better than Enji…but no Rida was worse. Enji was his coverup. His scapegoat.
The cameraman grimaced as the eyes kept staring at him, teeth now bared at him. It was too dark to make out the silhouette of a body. But he knew it was Rida…
He squinted his eyes, but the bright orange eyes staring back at him slowly faded away til nothing was left…other than the vivid memory. Vinny clenched his fist in annoyance. What did he want from him? What has he done to deserve this? Why can’t be al-
The cameraman jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He expected Nyssa, and it was her. “I-I uh…Tenshi wants to talk to you…he doesn’t seem happy about the plan…” Nysaa awkwardly spoke as she looked at Vinny with worry, “I calmed him down the best I could”
“Thanks…don’t get yourself into trouble for me” the cameraman answered as he smiled at her before walking off to Tenshi, who was now standing in the far corner of the cell. Vinny could feel the worried eyes of Nyssa on him and tried to ignore it the best he could.
The cameraman took a deep breath, “What’s up?” He asked, nonchalantly.
“Don’t play dumb…your plan is fucking stupid” Tenshi hissed, as quiet as he could. Vinny was gonna speak up, but was cut off. “You can’t just say you have a plan and not tell us!” He scowled.
“I know I know…” the cameraman sighed, “But please trust me” he begged.
“How!?” Tenshi asked with annoyance, “What plan is possibly so good it could get us out of here!?”
“Listen-“ he tried talking.
“You’re gonna get us all killed and you’re dragging Nyssa into this!” Tenshi hissed, “She’s young! She shouldn’t be risking herself!”
Vinny tried talking once more, but was cut off as Tenshi continued rambling. The cameraman couldn’t blame him. It was a stupid plan. And Tenshi was right…he was dragging Nyssa into this, but he wanted to get them both out of here…not just himself…
“You can’t defend yourself! Whatever plan you have will only work if you kill someone!” Tenshi hissed, it was starting to get on Vinnys’ nerves. Or maybe it was just the pent up emotions over the days. He’s had a lot happen. “If we’re seen trying to escape Rida will kill us!”
“Listen! I fucking understand! It’s a stupid plan!” The cameraman snapped, “But we’re never getting out of here if we play it safe! I don’t fucking care about Rida! He can go fuck himself and suck up his ego! And that’s something you need to do!” Vinny hissed as he pointed at Tenshi.
The cell went silent, every conversation that was happening stopped. The cameraman didn’t care, he didn’t even notice. However he did notice the surprise on Tenshis’ face. Maybe yelling at the champion was a shitty idea.
“You’ve been here for 25 years! A little risk won’t kill you! Rida clearly doesn’t want you dead!” Vinny shouted, continuing his outburst. He was so tired. “But if Rida does want to kill us! I’ll fucking kill myself, cause I’m sick of him and this place and I would give up my life just to stab him in the fucking shoulder again! But I won’t let him lay a hand on you two!”
“You’ve what?” Tenshi finally spoke up, anger was evident in his voice though he was trying to control it. Thought it was obvious that Tenshi only processed one thing that was Vinny stabbed Rida before.
The cameraman grumbled in annoyance throwing his hands in the air exasperatedly, before storming off to the other corner of the cell, bar the bars. He ignored the murmuring of the there he walked by, he left Tenshi all confused.
Vinny muttered swears to himself before sliding down on the wall till he was sat. He anxiously stroked his hand through his hair, bouncing his foot nervously. “Fuck…” he hysterically laughed out as he swung his head back onto the wall, letting out a sigh. He was mad at himself, he understood why Tenshi was mad.
The cameraman was caught off guard, by Nyssa sitting next to him. “Do you have a death wish?” She asked quietly.
“Yes…” Vinny sighed out, “What are the chances he goes along with the plan now?” He chuckled out.
“Lower…” Nyssa confessed, “You shouldn’t have yelled at him…”
“I know…just tired” Vinny answered as he smiled at her.
“You’re crazy…” she sighed out.
“Aren’t we all?” The cameraman asked, receiving a soft nod and chuckle from Nyssa.
“Hungry?” She asked, Vinny shook his head. “I’ll give you some alone time you look like you need it…I’ll try talking to Tenshi”
“Thanks…” The cameraman whispered, Nyssa smiled before walking off. What a nice day. Vinny rubbed his forehead, he had a headache. He fidgeted with the Phoenix pin of his cloak, opening and closing it. Time went by quick, soon almost everyone was asleep.
The cameraman reluctantly laid down, using the cloak as a pillow. He wasn’t cold. Vinnys’ eyes grew heavy quickly and before he knew it he was passed out, deep in sleep.
Though maybe deep in sleep wasn’t a good thing, as his eyes fluttered open and now he was in a dark room. He growled and looked around. Where was he? The cameramans’ hand slid to the dagger in his pocket, but he realised it wasn’t there.
“I knew you would do that” a familiar voice spoke, one that made Vinny boil with anger as he whipped around and saw Rida…sat on a chair, fiddling with dagger and wearing the Phoenix mask. This was familiar…just like when Rida first violated his dreams.
“Get out of my head” The cameraman scowled.
“You’re quick to catch on this time” Rida chuckled, before snapping his fingers. A chair appeared behind Vinny as he was pushed down on it. “I must say…that was entertaining to watch, you and Tenshi? No one’s ever dared to speak to him like that, besides me of course” he chuckled out.
“It was an accident” Vinny muttered, he felt guilty about that.
“Sure…didn’t you snap at Garmadon once? I must admit you have quite a temper now!” Rida laughed out sadistically as he took off his mask. Vinnys’ eyes widened as he heard that, guilt crawling up his back.
“Why am I here? Why did you trap me here?” The cameraman asked quietly, he wanted out.
“Your precious Deity didn’t tell you?” Rida asked, confusing Vinny. “Or perhaps she hasn’t realised yet…or old age caught up to her and she’s stupider than ever” he chuckled as he threw the dagger at the cameraman.
“Don’t talk about her like that” Vinny hissed as he caught the dagger, he hated how Rida spoke of Deity.
“Would you stab me again?” Rida asked, “I must say you have quite a harsh stab, you drive the dagger in like you’re eating meat…you are quite experienced in eating flesh aren’t you?” He spoke, his voice silky and sly. Vinny felt a wave of sickness hearing this, he knew what Rida was talking about…Rushifa, that snake…
“Maybe I will stab you again” the cameraman snapped back, trying to sound intimidating but the nausea made his voice sound wobbly.
“Sure…you won’t escape from here” Rida chuckled as he stood up and cupped Vinnys’ cheeks. “I’ve been wondering how this would fit you…” he spoke as he grabbed the phoenix mask and put it on Vinnys’ face. The cameraman didn’t protest, not like he could. Ridas’ grip was strong.
“Take it off…” Vinny muttered.
“Why? It fits you so well…as if you’re meant to work with me” Rida spoke as he smiled sharply at him.
“You wish” The cameraman spat as he pulled his face away and took the mask off.
“Maybe you’ll understand someday…but you won’t leave anytime soon” Rida chucked before putting the mask back on before slowly fading away. Vinnys’ eyes shut before they opened once more as his body jolted awake, he sat up, breathing heavily and looking around. He was in the cell this time and now everyone was asleep.
He couldn’t fall asleep again, Ridas’ words stayed in his mind. Cycling over and over again as he stared out at the night sky.
