yea i kinda head canon that Val hits Vox and uses the love potion to keep him under control and I could see Vox being freaked out when Angel brings up being hit
TW// Abuse implication
Thinking about possible Vox and Angel's interactions and how they'd go down. Theres such a unique mix of hatred to each other and common ground with their different experiences with Valentino, has me thinking.
Also just want to clarify I love Vox's character a LOT but ofc obv don't sympathise with him or think he is any way shape or form a decent individual, cant with stupid toxic dumbass x
AND IF YOU SEE ANY MISTAKES OR TYPOS NO YOU DONT- (i was so tired when drawing it forgive me TwT)
I might not be able to post new parts of my stories mainly because of family events I promise Iâll try
Iâm really sorry I really love writing the stories but i barely have time for now I had to get away to write this
)I suggest you check out parts 1-61 if you havenât already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
(With Garmadon, Wu and the others)
When the ground warped beneath them and they fell through, Garmadon was quick to act and almost immediately transformed into his oni form, with the fours arms. He flew and caught Pixal, Zane and Wu.
They were lowered to the ground and he dropped them there before looking around, âThank you brotherâ Wu sighed as he dusted himself off, the oni was given a nod of gratitude from both the nindroids.
âWhere are we?â Pixal questioned as she stared at ether surroundings, overgrown plants everywhere, no mountains insight like Vinny and the others, not that they would know. Large flowers, and trees stretched on for miles.
âBigger question is how did we get here and where are the others?âGarmadon spoke, he noticed intricate markings on the trees, they looked like flowers and had definitely been carved there.
âThey mustâve landed somewhere else, as for where we are is unlike anything Iâve seen beforeâ Zane spoke as he turned his attention to the markings on the tree.
âShall we search around?â Wu suggested and the others nodded in agreement.
âIt would be wise that we stay togetherâ Pixal spoke.
âAgreed, thereâs only 4 of us, who knows what lurks through this forestâ Garmadon spoke, they nodded and began walking one way. Garmadon stayed in the front leading them, it was definitely safer that way, he was stronger than them.
They walked for ages till coming across, what seemed like a living space. Large flowers were placed around like couches, and vines lead up to trees while hollow trees had vine beds.
âSomeone comes here oftenâ Zane spoke.
âThen we be on guardâ the oni spoke as he stared at the same flower like insignia on the ground. As they observed their surroundings, Pixal jumped slightly as vines began wrapping around her legs.
âI fear that someone is hereâ she spoke as she attempted to shake the vine off her, Zane however used his sword and cut it.
Garmadonsâ ears twitched as he heard rustling from above in the trees. âDonât let your guard downâŚthose vines can come from anywhereâ Wu spoke, as everyones attention darted towards the noise.
More vines wrapped around Zane and Pixal stringing them up, while it began going after Wu. Garmadon attempted to fend the vines off, but was strung up as well.
Once they were all strung up, a large flower came down as it opened, a person came out? She looked interested, as the vines on them loosened.
They were shockedâŚher appearanceâŚblack scleras with a dark emerald irises, she had a yang sign on her right cheek and she had elf like ears with tons of piercings. She had her hair in two twin buns and some of it out, while she wore a black body suit with low rise jean shorts, she seemed quite short too and was a little on the chubby side.
She smiled to them, âHi! Nice to meet you, Iâm Willow!â She spoke energetically as she lowered them from the vines.
âH-hello?â Zane spoke awkwardly as they all dusted themselves off.
âSorry sorry, that was such a bad introduction! Iâve never seen you all around here and definitely not in the kingdom, maybe my brother did, Iâll ask him laterâ She spoke really fast, only Pixal and Zane could understand.
âWhatâs your names?â She questioned.
âIâm Zane, this is Pixal, thatâs Master Wu and this is Garmadonâ Zane introduced everyone.
âHowâd you all get here?â Willow questioned as she lifted up Pixal arms curiously, she clearly was intrigued by, as of everyone that saw the two nindroids.
âWe are unsure, can you tell us where we are?â Wu spoke.
âThis whole forest is called Grove, while the kingdom is well the Ivory Kingdomâ She replied as she laid back on one of the flower seats, sinking into it.
âIvory Kingdom? Iâve never heard of something like thatâ Wu spoke, Garmadon nodded in agreement.
âIf I may ask, how do you do that?â Pixal questioned, signalling to her ability of controlling plants.
Willow smiled and chuckled, âElemental of nature!â She spoke happily as she used fines to push all of them onto the flower seats, it was fairly comfortable.
âElemental? When did you discover this?â Garmadon questioned, as he sat up properly on the seats.
âAroundâŚâ she counted on her fingers, âSeven years ago!â She spoke.
âYou mentioned you have a brotherâŚis he an elemental?â Zane questioned, she shook her head.
âThisâŚIvory KingdomâŚwhatâs it like?â Garmadon spoke.
âReally nice, I donât spend a lot of time there, but I got there occasionally, my brother on the other hand stays there a lot! Heâs sworn protector of the kingdom, and well since my mumâs the empress we donât have much responsibility, but I protect the forestâ She spoke, it was clear she tired slowing her speaking down a little.
âSo youâre the princess?â Zane questioned, she nodded. She seemed laid back, but also very aware at the same time. Anytime there was a noise from the distance she would react quickly.
âIs is just you four here?â She questioned as a tree branch lowered near them and she grabbed an apple, âWant one?â She asked, but they all shook their heads.
âAs far as we know, the rest of our friends are probably lost in the forest as wellâ Pixal spoke.
âHow many?â Willow asked.
âSixâ Garmadon spoke, the worry he had for Vinny at the moment was overwhelming, but he tried his best to hide it.
âI can search around the forest, but if they were lost in the kingdom then they mightâve met my brotherâŚâ She spoke, slight worry in her voice.
âIs something wrong with your brother?â Wu questioned.
âNot reallyâŚbut he takes protecting the kingdom seriously and if thereâs people he doesnât recogniseâŚcause trust me he knows everyone in that kingdom, and if he finds your friends heâll see them as trespassersâ Willow spoke as she got up and stretched.
âIs there any chance you can take us to the kingdom?â Wu asked.
âYep! My mum can probably get you back to where youâre fromâ Willow spoke, the others stood up.
âThank youâ They all thanked her, she gave them a friendly smile and began walking one way, they realised she wasnât wearing shoes.
(WILLOW MY BELOVED!!!)

"Nah we can wait and plus I wanna see this" Kai said before taking another sip of his drink, Vinny gave him a thumbs up before gently grabbing Garmadons' hands and the controller. The oni was listening really well mainly because he trusted Vinny, "What is the purpose of this...video game?" The oni asked curiously, making Vinny chuckle softly, "It's fun" "And it's relaxing!" Kai and Cole both spoke out.
"That is like the worst explanation you two could have done" Vinny sighed out to the two ninjas. "What do you mean? It works with others" Kai replied smugly, "And who are these others?" Vinny asked knowing what answer he was going to get. Kai paused for a moment, "People?" The fire ninja said earning a exactly look from Vinny. "Okay okay sorry geez I get your point go ahead and explain it to him, clearly he understands you better" Kai said out in a defeated tone making Vinny giggle and Cole chuckle out.
Vinny looked at Garmadon, "Well everyone enjoys different things and have different preferences for enjoyment and relaxation or well to get away from responsibilities some do art, write stories, some like cleaning, playing sport and or like playing games like this, but they all bring some sense of enjoyment eventually, like finishing a drawing, a game, winning a sports tournament, a story, or finishing cleaning a mess that has been a pain to look at just like how I tell you about finally finishing a shift at work" Vinny explained as he gently held Garmadons' hands.
"Damn he's good" Cole whispered to Kai who nodded, the oni thought for a moment, "That...makes sense..." Garmadon responded earning a smile from Vinny. The cameraman looked back at Kai before sticking out his tongue, "I said I was sorry!" Kai responded in a childish tone. The two ninjas began playing their game again while Vinny continued to teach Garmadon how to play. Eventually he got the hang of it and they slowly began playing.
The group began having to do specific tasks like kill someone or kidnap them, "How come when I did this to people it was bad but it's fine in video games?" Garmadon said making Kai laugh out and Vinny let out a sigh, "The game isn't real living people and plus some people play these games to let out anger that doesn't harm living people" Vinny responded while Kai and Cole laughed quietly.
Eventually they had to kidnap someone surrounded by guards, "We need a plan to get to them?" Cole said as they looked at the character surrounded by guards, "Ambushing?" Garmadon suggested he really enjoyed the game Vinny was right it was sort of relaxing. "No, don't have that of weapons" Kai sighed out before looking at Vinny who was thinking really hard."Ambushing wouldn't work even if we had good weapons they have guns and we don't" Vinny said, earning a nod from everyone, they were all throwing out ideas while Vinny thought hard.
"We could kidnap the guards and then kill the person due to being defenceless but that could be a situation that is really risky it can escalate quickly..." Vinny said out, while everyone listened carefully. "I suggest we kidnap one of the guards and torturing them for information......If verbal torture doesn't work, electric shocks and bamboo torture is very effective....castration is painful too" Vinny said before looking back at the others.

(With Vinny)
The cameraman shivered as he felt the smaller snakes climbed onto him and licked his skin. âNow nowâŚhow are you in the palace? Iâve never sssseen you before?â 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 wasnât enough seeing that definitely would.
âI-I j-just me and my f-friends-â Vinny was stuttering like crazy as he held back a gag. He hated it here, he hated everything at the momentâŚ
âOh youâre even more fun than I thoughtâ 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. âYour friendssss are coming!â She says to him as her tail squeezes around choking the air out of his lungs while her stinger threatened to pierce his cheek.
âW-what?â Vinny asked worriedly, they couldnât 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.
âYou heard meâ She circled around him, âYour ninja friendsss and SSShancai along with that inssssuferable Willow are here! In my domainâ She giggled, her voice darkened when talking about Willow, she didnât seem to like her, âBut no worriesss! Iâll deal with themâ she hissed, before throwing her veil back on.
âS-Say! We havenât had proper introductions, w-why donât we ask some questions about each other?â Vinny asked as he tried to squirm out, but failed miserably due to the tail wrapped tightly.
âRida wasss right about you, you sssure care about your friendssssâ she hissed as she slithered down to a rotting tree stump and sat against it, her tail grip on Vinny loosening ever so slightly, âI suppossse you can ask some questionsâ she added, as she put her hand up signalling for him to continue, her nails were sharp they were more like clawsâŚ
âUhh r-rightâŚh-how do you know RidaâŚ?â The cameraman hesitantly asked as he took a deep breathe of relief as her grip loosened.
âMe and Rida both dissslike the kingdom, we are not friendsss neither acquaintancesss he asksss for the occasional favour, I decide if I listen or notâ Rushifa spoke as she allowed the smaller snakes to climb onto her and wrap around her neck.
âS-so neutral terms?â Vinny asked, receiving a nod from the snake.
âNow I have a question for youâ She began, Vinny hesitantly nodded in agreement allowing her to continue. âWhy does Rida have his eyess set on you?â She questioned, as she stood up again and circled around him, stopped behind him.
âIâŚI donât nowâŚâ Vinny sighed before taking a sharp breathe as he felt a sharp claw press against the back on his neck.
âAre you sssure?â She questioned once more as she rested her head on Vinnysâ shoulder while wrapped one hand around his neck.
What the actual fuck was going one? Was all that was going through Vinnysâ mind, he hated being touched like this, âY-yesâŚâ 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 thighâŚhe met some random fucking snake lady in the forest and was now being harassed, who has this happened too before?!
âDonât be shyâ she whispered into his ear, âYou were an easy one to convince to come hereâ she added, as she turned Vinnysâ 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 couldnât stop her? Why was he so weak!?
âL-let me goâŚâ Vinny whimpered out, it wasnât an order but a plea, he hated being touched like this.
âWhat would Garamadon think if he found you like thisss?â She asked her voice feigning with mock empathy, Vinnysâ heart ached at the thought of Garmadon, she was right, what would he think? Would he be mad? Disgusted?
He didnât want anyone else see him like thisâŚhe 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 Vinnysâ mouth, âEat itâ she ordered, Vinnysâ heart dropped and his stomach twistedâŚhe kinda missed Enji right nowâŚ
âW-what?â 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 thatâŚor so he thoughtâŚ
âYou heard me, eat itâ she repeated her tone harsher as her hand entangled in Vinnysâ head keeping him in place and unable to turn away from the food?
âI-I canât t-thereâs h-how-â The cameraman began stuttering again, he felt light-headed, where were the others? He couldnât careless if they saw him like thisâŚhe wanted to leave he wanted to be freeâŚ
âYou will eat it, whether you like it or notâ She repeated, as she continued to pressure Vinny. âEat itâŚand you and your friendsss may be able to leave somewhat unscathedâ
Vinnysâ heart ached hearing that, he wanted to protect them, but what if she was lying? âS-swear?â He asked shakily, âSwear weâll all leave a-alive? Hardly injured?â He added, desperate for an answer.
âIâll hardly hurt themâŚIâll attack if they attack firssst and have a little fun, but their injuriesss will be none too harsh, but a ssscratch of sssome sortsssâ she answered, Vinny let out a shaky breathe as he turned his attention to the piece of flesh in front of himâŚwhat it worth itâŚ?
âI-IâŚâ the cameraman stuttered, out a snake hissed something into Rushifasâ ear.
âTime isss ticking, your friendsss are closseâ She says to him as she pushes the flesh closer to his mouth, Vinny wanted to vomit, everything here was revolting.
âC-canât I get s-sick?â He stuttered out.
âWeâll just have to sssee, Iâve done thisss to a certain someone nod she isnât illâ Rushifa responded as she laughed softly, âNow eatâ she hissed harsher than before, the grip of her tail loosened now Vinny was able to move his hands.
Tears welled in Vinnysâ 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 disgustingâŚthe coppery taste of the blood mixed with the salty tears of his, he held back a gag, âChewâ she ordered, âAnd make sure to swallowâ 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 didnât 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, âBest you smile for themâ she says to him before planting a kiss on his cheekâŚthat worsened Vinnysâ sickness as he tried rubbing away his tearsâŚno one needed to know what he didâŚ
Rushifa used the smaller snakes to hold Vinny down as she hid in the shadows. He didnât fight back, he was tired and weakâŚhis eyes widened as he saw Shancai and Willowsâ 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. âShit! Are you alright?!â Willow asked with worry as she controlled the vines to throw the snakes all away,
âI-Iâm fineâŚâ Vinny answered, his voice was hoarse, it was an obvious lieâŚthey 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, rightâŚRushifa was still here.
Willowsâ eyes widened and she growled in annoyance, she didnât seem to like Rushifa as much as Rushifa hated her. They all were on guard as they stared around. âShe uses the smaller snakes to see usâŚâ Willow spoke to them all, receiving a nod from the others as they drew their swords.
Vinny was surprisedâŚbecause 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 othersâŚhis heart achedâŚ
âYou made quite a bit of friendsss Willowâ 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, âSssoooo sssnappyâ
Rushifa attacked first, hitting Jay with her stinger and falling into Nyaâs 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, âEat itâ 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 himâŚprotecting himâŚhis mind was numbâŚhe couldnât 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 Rushifasâ face tearing the veil and scarring her across her eyesâŚshe 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. âYou sure youâre okay? She didnât hit you with her stinger?â Shancai questioned.
âYeaâŚâ 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.
âWhyâd you go here?â Zane asked, everyone looked just as curious.
âSome lying bitch convincedâ Vinny grumbled, his tone was filled with hate, everyone seemed surprised by his tone, âI wasnât going to! But then there were fucking wolves and I had no where else to fucking go!â He hissed, his anger was directed at himself.
âAre you sure youâre alrightâŚ?â Lloyd asked as they went back on the path, Willow waited till everyone got out and sealed that part of the forest again.
âIâm fucking fineâŚâ Vinny answered as he walked past them trying to get back into the palace.
âVinny seriouslyâŚwhat happened?â Nya asked, desperate for a proper answer.
âNothing fucking happened! Drop it!â 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.
âShow someone go after him?â Jay asked.
âNoâŚhe needs to be aloneâŚâ 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 relievingâŚhe felt guilty for snapping at Nya, but they wouldnât 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 donât know what Vinny did to deserve me to do this)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-48 if you haven't already)
Vinny was in his room for the rest of the day talking to Rida, no one really bothered him sure there would be the occasional knock and offer of food, other than that no one came. It was now night and Vinny let out a tired yawn, truth was he really needed a goodnights sleep, Rida let out a chuckle, "Looks like you should get some rest" The orange eyed man spoke out.
"Y-yea, I guess I should...Enji's been messing with me, I haven't gotten a good sleep for a few days..." The cameraman replied as he stretched out, "Then I'll leave you to it...and no need to worry Enji won't be coming today" Rida spoke calmly as he stood up and helped Vinny off the ground. The cameraman smiled clearly liking the fact he won't have to deal with Enji and could get some sleep.
"I'll be seeing you tomorrow, right?" The orange eyed man asked as he looking at Vinny intently, "Yea...9:30 here..." The cameraman replied as he took off his jacket and ran his hand through his hair clearly sleep deprived. "Very well sleep well..." Rida spoke before disappearing, Vinny was a little surprised at the way Rida just disappeared but he shrugged it off he was too tired to think.
"Fuck...a shower would be nice..." The cameraman mumbled to himself as he got sat on the bed. Vinny sat there for 10 minutes thinking about literally nothing. Eventually the cameraman snapped out of it and stood up he got some clean clothes ready and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Vinny then stripped of his clothing and turned on the shower. Before he entered he took off the bandages on his hand and foot and remembered to take the dagger out of the pocket of his pants.
The cameraman then entered the shower and let out a sigh of relief, the water was warm and comforting Vinny wanted to sleep in there but he knew he couldn't. The cameraman reached to get something, but noticed his hand, a stab wound and burn marks. "I'm surprised I haven't lost this hand yet..." Vinny mumbled as he winced slightly in pain at the water touching his hand. "I should get this checked out...probably by Zane..." He added, the truth was his hand looked like shit and the cameraman was worried it might get infected along with his foot.
Vinny decided to keep his hand out of the water as much as he could, but went he started to shampoo his hair the soap on the cuts hurt like hell, "God damnit..." The cameraman hissed in pain, he was trying his best to bare with it but it was becoming unbearable. "This shit needs stitches..." Vinny thought as he leaned against the wall, of the shower, the steam on his body felt nice, it fogged up the shower and mirror of the bathroom as well. The mirror being fogged made the cameraman feel better, it was probably, because of how many times Enji came out of it. Rida told Vinny, Enji wouldn't come but he was still a little paranoid.
Vinny felt a little dizzy and put his hand on his head. "What the hell...?" The cameraman mumbled, it was no surprise Vinny felt dizzy he was sleep deprived and probably hasn't had a proper meal. The cameraman quickly finished the shower, if he was going to pass out there was no way it would be in the bathroom. Vinny dried himself off and put on his clothes, he was wearing shorts and a shirt. After getting dressed Vinny lied down on his bed and groaned, he was so tired and worried about Garmadon, he probably was safe but Vinny was still worried he wanted his love next to him.
The cameraman tossed and turned trying to fall asleep but he couldn't after an hour of this he eventually drifted off.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-37 if you haven't already)
"There is nothing wrong with me at all! No one or thing is causing me to act like this!" Vinny responded as tears welled in his eyes. "Then what is?! You're the one that told me to open up about things, why don't you do it!?" The oni responded desperate for an answer.
"Not everyone opens up as easy as that not everyone really has a problem this is just how they are sometimes!" Vinny exclaimed, "Just because I don't tell you every single detail in my life doesn't mean anything has happened!" he added, Garmadon tensed up hearing that.
"I'm just worried about you, you were in the bathroom for a whole hour doing who knows what! Can you really blame me for worrying and thinking that you done this to yourself!" The oni yelled back. "I don't want hi-" Vinny was going to mention something Enji said but instantly stopped himself. "What are you so afraid of, why won't you tell me?!" Garmadon responded out.
"Stop with the questions...." Vinny said knowing very well if he said anything else he was gonna out himself about Enji. "Why should I?! I'm just worried for you and your health! Tell me, is this my fault!? Did I make you do this to yourself?!" The oni yelled out still presuming Vinny hurt himself.
"Maybe you did!" Vinny shouted out in reply, he had tears streaming down his face, the cameraman realised what he said and instantly covered his mouth with his hand. Garmadon tensed hearing that, "Oh great here I am back at square fucking one! So tell me how long have I made you feel so fucking miserable!?" The oni yelled out holding back tears at that point. "G-Garm that's n-not what I-"Vinny was cut off by Garmadon, "Well clearly I have some part to partake in your misery!" The oni replied.
"You're acting like I don't want to tell you! You're the first person I wanted to tell, but I can't because he'll hurt you!" Vinny angrily responded, he didn't think about what he said he just said it unaware he may have outed himself of a certain dickheads' existence aka Enji. "What do you mean? Who are you talking about?" Garmadon responded as his voice quieted down and became more worrying.
"No one, just drop it" Vinny instantly replied realising he may have outed himself. "Is someone hurting you?! Are they threatening you?!" The oni asked again, causing the cameraman to tense up, "That's not what I meant...." Vinny responded as he began thinking of a lie. "Yes it is! You clearly are hiding more than that from me because someone wants to hurt me!" Garmadon said.
"Maybe I am keeping secrets! But it has nothing to do with you other than you being threatened!" Vinny shouted angrily, he wasn't in a mood today running on 2 hours of sleep and having a dickhead torment him aka Enji was hell. "Who is even doing this to you!? You were perfectly fine before we came here!" The oni replied.
"I don't know! This guy comes ou-" Vinny was going to say something but he looked at Garmadon, Enji was standing behind him with a finger on his lips. The cameraman instantly shut up, "I...I just need some space..." Vinny said as he looked away, was Enji just everywhere was here there all the time and he didn't know. Garmadon looked like he was going to say something, but stopped himself and paused for a moment. "Fine....if you start getting any worse, don't expect me to ask...talk to me when you're ready....I'm sure my brother can get me another room if you wnat to be alone so badly...." Garmadon simply replied.
"W-Wait what? T-that's not w-what I-" Vinny looked back to where Garmadon was standing and didn't see him there he just left and closed the door. The cameraman tensed, "Way to fucking go! Here I am pushing away the only fucking sense of sanity!" Vinny exclaimed out before laughing out hysterically. "I'm so fucking dumb!" He added as he rested his head on the wall.
"Looking a little rough there buddy~!" Enji called out as he emerged from the dresser mirror.

Deity gave Vinny a soft smile as she walked in, âWillow spoke to you?â She asked softly, receiving a nod.
âYou didnât tell me that snake did the same to herâ The cameraman spoke, he seemed curious as to why, Deity sighed and sat down grabbing a bunch of scrolls.
âIt wasnât my place to tell youâŚI didnât even know she knew Rushifa did thatâŚbut she mustâve realised by your reactionâ Deity answered as she began reading through the scrolls.
âThatâŚmakes senseâŚit makes me feel a little betterâ Vinny sighed out as he stroked a hand through his hair, Deity nodded as she used some magic to open various scrolls around her.
âFeel free to ask me questions dearâŚIâm just trying to find out somethingâ She spoke, attempting to reassure Vinny, he nodded in response as he tried to think of some questions. The room was quiet other than the soft breathing and occasional sound of the scrolls being flicked.
âHeyâŚuhh the mark on your cheek? Willow and Shancai are their own counterparts they finish itâŚdid you have a sibling?â Vinny hesitantly spoke up, causing Deity to pause before letting out a shaky sigh.
âYesâŚâ she answered softly, âA twin brotherâŚâ
âWere you twoâŚclose?â Vinny questioned, clearly reluctant noticing her reaction.
âNoâŚnot at all, not like my childrenâŚwe tolerated each otherâŚtill we didnâtâŚâ Deity replied her voice dropping into a sadder tone.
âWhatâŚhappened to him?â The cameraman shakily asked.
âHe wentâŚdown a pathâŚa bad path and we grew apartâŚâ Deity confessed, it was clearly a touchy subject.
âDid heâŚdo anything?â Vinny asked.
âHeâŚdid some stuff, some bad and someâŚrarely goodâŚâ Deity replied quietly as she looked at the ground, and stared at her hands.
âDoâŚShancai and Willow know about him?â He asked.
âNot muchâŚtheyâve never been introducedâŚâ she sighed, Vinny stayed quiet, silence filling the room. The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.
âCan youâŚtell me a little about the kingdom? Itâs a nice place, I just donât know much about itâ The cameraman eventually spoke up, breaking the deafening silence.
âOf course dear, itâs quite a funny story actuallyâŚâ Deity chuckled softly, her voice slightly pained.
âIf thereâs anything you donât want to say, you donât have toâ Vinny spoke reassuringly as he smiled at her.
âNonsense dear! Everything in this story is crucialâ she chuckled before grabbing a blank piece of parchment and setting it down on the table, before the beanbag Vinny was sitting on was magically pulled towards the table, in front of Deity.
âUhhâŚwhatâs this for?â The cameraman asked curiously as he stared at the blank parchment then Deity.
âDear I know magicâ She chuckled as she playfully rolled her eyes, âIâm not giving you a boring storyâ she added as she ruffled his hair.
âR-rightâ Vinny chuckled sheepishly as he flushed from embarrassment slightly, his eyes widened in surprise as he saw a really light pink mist form on the parchment paper, it began forming objects? And then human figures? It was really cool, watching was Deity moved her hands ever so slightly and more things would change.
âThis story starts long agoâŚâ she began as the pink mist began to change into a forest, âThe kingdom wasnât too keen on beings who wielded such powers, whether it be elementals or in my case magicâ she began, as Vinny nodded watching the mist change.
âYou werenâtâŚfrom the royal bloodline?â Vinny asked.
âNo my dearâŚI was far from itâ Deity chuckled.
âSo your husband was?â He asked, receiving a soft nod, âIfâŚthe kingdom was against magicâŚhowâd you two-?â Vinny cut himself as he made a gesture.
âYouâll see dearâ She chuckled, âMy husbandâs father being king as well as a soldier made lies of those differentâŚwe were seen as beast not humansâ she sighed out as the pink mist formed into a group of people out casting others.
âT-thatâs-â Vinny cut himself out, not wanting to finish his sentence.
âMe and my husband met in an interesting wayâ She spoke, as the mist formed into a building for what seemed like a bar, âI was trying to blend in with the crowd at a barâ She chuckled softly.
âWere you drunk?â Vinny hesitantly asked.
âA little..but he on the other hand was out of itâ She laughed out, âHe was an amazing singerâŚhe was sang and after he finished he found meâŚhe didnât seem to recognise me as what was known as a beastâŚmight have been the alcoholâ Deity smiled to herself.
âThatâsâŚreally niceâ Vinny smiled at her, as he saw the mist form into two figures, sitting at a counter talking.
âIt wasâŚwe had a few drinks togetherâŚand you can guess what happened from thereâ She chuckled, receiving a soft nod and chuckled from Vinny. âThatâs how we had our kidsâŚâ she added quietly.
âOh s-shit wowâŚâ The cameraman spoke out, without thinking, âDid he know?â
âNoâŚâ Deity confessed, âI left immediatelyâŚI hadnât realised who he was the night before, but when I didâŚif I were seen with the princeâŚâ Her voice trailed off as it grew sadder.
âWhen did he find out?â Vinny asked, he was quite curious about this.
âA few months after they were bornâŚâ She admitted, âIâŚhis father- sent him to kill ShancaiâŚhe was seen as a threat, but no one knew the other side of their heritageâŚâ
âWhat about Willow?â The cameraman asked.
âThey didnât know it was twinsâŚmy husband, he couldnât kill ShancaiâŚhe just feltâŚso familiar with himâ Deity sighed out.
âHe just left Shancai there?â Vinny asked, as he receiving a nod.
âHeâŚfound meâŚasked me if the kids were min-oursâŚhe hadnât know who he slept with that one drunken night, but now he didâ She sighed as she wiped her damp eyes, Vinnysâ eyes widenedâŚDeitysâ tearsâŚthey glowed?
âHowâd heâŚreact?â The cameraman asked shakily.
âAmazingâŚâ she smiled, âIâd never seen someone so happyâŚhis father wasnât as thrilled and wellâŚtried killing me, but my husband got to it firstâ she chuckled.
âWowâŚâ Vinny spoke, âThatâs a lot you went throughâŚâ he added, his voice tainted with sympathy,
âIt wasâŚbut it was worth itâ she chuckled, as the mist continued to follow the story.
âAll started from a drunken night?â Vinny chuckled, as he tried to lighten the mood.
âYeaâ she smiled, âYou were rightâŚgetting all things off my chest is amazingâ she added.
âRight?â Vinny laughed out, as he stretched.
âAny questions?â She smiled, the cameraman shook his head, and watched as Deity grabbed the scrolls again.
âWhatâs this thing youâre trying to find?â Vinny asked.
âIf thereâs a way to break a enchanted lockâŚthe lock on the kingdomâs energy needed the hair and blood of me, my husband and our kidsâŚbut I havenât seen my husband in years so getting those from him would be interestingâ she admitted.
âThatâs weirdâ Vinny spoke as he looked over at the scrolls, Deity nodded as she continued to go through scrolls.
(LORE DROPPPPPP also do you think Iâm prioritising the ocs too much? I donât want them to overshine Vinny, but it also need to add their own lore to give them personality, Iâll take any criticism I can get, I wanna be better for you all)
Doing this cause @bravetheperson requested it and I feel like I should do this. I'll also do my ocs at the end and I'll add three more characters coming in the story not sure when tho
Vinny Folson (my beloved): Gay...pretty obvious
Garmadon: Bisexual...fight me if you dare...
Wu: don't know at this point, but I'm gonna go with straight
Misako: Lesbian...don't know why I'm just going with it
Nya: Straight her one and only love is Jay
Jay: Bisexual I just see him as this
Kai: Pansexual....you can't change my mind
Cole: Gay...this isn't just because of the Geo thing I've just always thought him of gay and plus I'm a hardcore lavashipper
Lloyd: Straight...don't know why it just feels right...BUT not with Harumi
Zane: Straight, just like Nya he only loves Pixal
Pixal: Straight only loves Zane
OCS:
Enji: Just gay...lot like Vinny yet more flirty and cocky
Rida: Aromantic (Enji knows this but flirts with him as a joke)
Shancai: Bisexual (I ain't telling you shit about who he's gonna be shipped with)
Deity: Straight (mother of Willow and Shancai)
Willow: Lesbian and an absolute sweetheart (Siblings with Shancai...don't ship them...)
That's all I'm saying about those three new characters since they haven't been added in the story yet
and just to clarify something Rida is pronounced as Reed-a, one of my friends were confused about this
(I suggest you check out parts 1-70 if you havenât already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
âIs there a training grounds here?â Nya asked, Shancai nodded in response.
âWe could use some trainingâŚfighting against someone we donât know due to our new threatâ Lloyd spoke.
âNew threat?â Willow muttered to Vinny.
âEnjiâŚâ The cameraman whispered back, Willow made a âohâ sign with her mouth and nodded.
âHow about we finish eating then we can go?â Wu asked, receiving nods from the others.
âWhereâs your mother?â Jay blurted out to Willow and Shancai, they both shrugged.
âI saw her earlierâŚbut she was busy with somethingâŚâ 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 Deitysâ room Vinny paused, he wanted to see her. âEverything alright?â Kai asked the cameraman noticing he stopped walking.
âUhâŚyea, go on without me Iâll catch up, just gotta do somethingâ Vinny answered receiving nods from the others as they began walking again, Willow and Shancai staring as him curiously, Vinny pointed to Deitysâ 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 didnât hear anything and waited a bit more, thankfully the door was opened and Deity stood there. She looked overworkedâŚwas that chest Enji took worrying her that much?
âMorning dearâŚâ Deity spoke softly as she gave him a small smile, it was obviously forced and didnât carry the same comfort of one true smile.
âMorningâŚâ Vinny replied, âSorryâŚfor bothering you, I just wanted to check on youâ he added, Deitysâ expression softened hearing that.
âIâm well dear, did you rest well?â She questioned.
âYeaâŚI wanted to thank you too, talking to you helpedâŚâ Vinny spoke to her, when he spoke to her, he felt like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.
âItâs no problem dearâŚtalking to you helped me as wellâ She answered, âIs everyone awake?â She added.
âYep, we were going to the training grounds, Willow suggested Shancai spar with the others and he took up on the ideaâ Vinny replied.
âThatâs goodâŚâ she sighed, âI checked up on you early this morningâŚyou werenât in your room, but then I went to ShancaisââŚI was surprised seeing you all bunched up togetherâŚâ she chuckled.
âI wasnât planning on itâŚme and him were up and we mustâve woke Willow up, but she came in and suggested a sleepoverâŚit was really niceâ Vinny answered, his expression softened at the thought.
âI also happened to check again and find Willow purring makeup on you twoâ Deity teased, causing Vinny to blush.
âY-yea she didâŚbut it was funnyâŚâ Vinny spoke through embarrassment.
âBest you be off, before you lose your wayâ she teased.
âR-right!â The cameraman laughed out as he looked back in the hallway, âIâll see you laterâ 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, âLook who decided to grace up with his presenceâ Kai teased as he allowed Vinny to lean against him and catch his breath. Garmadon looked at the cameraman and sighed, he wanted to talkâŚbut howâŚ?
âThoseâŚâ Vinny panted as he pointed to the halls, âAre some long ass hallwaysâ he breathed heavily.
âThatâs why you walk in themâ Shancai spoke as he summoned his spear and gently bonked Vinnysâ head.
âI had to catch up!â The cameraman answered, âAnd I was not going to talk to someone to find you all!â He added.
âIdiotâ Nya teased, as they all exited the palace into a large area.
âHere we are!â Willow spoke joyfully as she pointed to the area, it had archery targets, hay targets and all types of training equipment.
âSometimes I forget weâre in a huge kingdomâŚâ Cole spoke as he stared into the large area. They went down the stairs and designated one area to their training.
âShall we warm up?â Zane questioned.
âStretchâ Shancai spoke, âYou two may not pull a muscleâ he pointed to Zane and Pixal âbut they willâ he added as he pointed to the rest who are not nindroids. âYouâre not fighting I take it?â He asked Vinny.
âI would pull a muscle with or without stretchingâ Vinny chuckled, and sat down where Shancai pointed. Wu and Garmadon sat on the side.
âShanni! Take off your armour, youâre sparring!â 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.
âI do not want to fight himâŚâ Jay muttered to Kai and Cole.
âAgreedâŚâ Kai and Cole spoke in agreement, Shancai rested his armour piece next to Vinny, who just stared at it and tried poking itâŚnever againâŚthatâs heavyâŚ
âHow about we just do weapons first?! Then we can have on with you all using your powers!â Vinny suggested.
âThatâs wiseâ Zane spoke.
âVery wellâ 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, âI say Jay goes firstâ Kai suggested.
âW-what why me?!â Jay answered, clearly offended.
âCause if you can beat him we canâ Cole teased, he was just playing along with Kaisâ teases.
âHe wonât kill you!â Willow called out from next to Vinny in an attempt to comfort them, âNot sure about hurting though!â She added, she wanted to mess with them.
âHeâll hurt them?â Vinny asked her.
âNah, Iâm just messinâ with emââWillow answered, causing the cameraman to snicker. âHow about you all go at it?!â She called out.
âWhat?â Lloyd asked curiously.
âYou all attack him with weapons!â She answered.
âA-are you sure? Maybe thatâs too muchâ Nya questioned.
âWhatâs that meant to mean?â Shancai questioned, to him it sounded like he was being underestimated.
âN-nothing!â Nya spoke immediately.
âSureâŚwe can do itâŚ?â Lloyd replied, causing Willow to smile happily.
âYou sure this is good?â Vinny asked.
âI know my brother and his limitsâŚand he knows them tooâ 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 Jaysâ hands throwing it to the side. âCockyâ the prince spoke as Kai attacked again, âSlowâ he spoke to Cole, who was using a scythe, âAggressiveâ he said to Nya, who growled at him.
âIâll show you aggressiveâŚâ 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 Zanesâ chest for power as he knocked off it, freeing his arms from Colesâ grip and landing behind him, âSave your celebrations till after all escapes are blockedâ the prince spoke as he knocked Jay to the ground and held the spear to his throat.
âGeez okay!â Jay spoke with fear, he didnât like this, Shancai sighed and got up.
âYou spend too much time calculating every possible outcome, remember you donât know your opponent youâve never fought me beforeâ Shancai spoke as he used his spear to point to Zane.
âI like himâŚâ Wu muttered to Garmadon, Wu clearly liked his teaching style and how he critiqued their flaws.
âYou put too much power in your hits and that slows you downâ Shancai spoke as he pointed to Cole, âToo confident in yourselfâŚyou donât know your limitsâ points to Kai.
âHe didnât kill themâŚbut he killed somethingâ Vinny muttered to Willow who laughed.
âAggressive, something spoken that you dislike youâre triggeredâ Shancai spoke and pointed to Nya, âAnd youâre not confident enoughâ points to Lloyd.
âGeezâŚharsh muchâ 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.
âGonna go see what he says about meâ 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 Garmadonsâ presence and focus on what Shancai was doing, but it failedâŚbecause Garmadon sat next to him, âHeyâŚâ the oni spoke quietly.
âHeyâŚâ Vinny replied bluntly, he didnât want to talk, but he missed him.
âIâŚneed to talk about somethingâŚâ Garmadon mumbled, his voice becoming quieter and sadder.
âIf itâs about my health then no we wonât talk about itâŚâ Vinny sighed as he looked at the ground.
âItâŚisnâtâŚâ The oni whispered, Vinny looked at him curiouslyâŚwhat could it be aboutâŚ?
âAlrightâŚIâm listeningâŚâ the cameraman sighed.
âI understandâŚthe past few days havenât been the best for both of usâŚâ Garmadon began, Vinny nodded in following, âI love youâŚI really doâŚâ he added quietly, the cameraman looked at him curiouslyâŚwhere was this goingâŚ?
âWhatâs wrongâŚ?â Vinny asked, he was impatient, he was scared, nervous and terrifiedâŚ
âA breakâŚâ Garmadon confessed quietly, Vinnysâ heart dropped.
âA-a break? Whatâs that meant to mean?â The cameraman asked, he needed to make sure it wasnât what he thought it would beâŚ
âWe need a break VinnyâŚâ Garmadon repeated as he stared at the ground, he couldnât bring himself to look at Vinny.
Vinnysâ heart dropped heading those words, his mind just turned off, âI-is it meâŚ?â He managed to whisper out.
Garmadon immediately panicked seeing Vinnysâ reaction, âN-noâŚitâs notâŚwe just needâŚsome space from each other, you need spaceâŚâ Garmadon answered, as he looked at Vinny.
âR-rightâŚjust a breakâŚâ Vinny breathed out sharply.
âIâŚI still love youâŚI do, though having a relationship at the moment isnât working for usâŚâ Garmadon confessed, it clearly pained him to say all this.
Vinny just nodded, he couldnât speak, he couldnât think, he couldnât moveâŚwhat was happeningâŚ?
âAre you a-â Garmadon cut himself off as Vinny got up and walked away. He really didnât know what he was doingâŚhe wanted to keep Vinny safeâŚbut nothing was workingâŚ
Vinnysâ 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 walkingâŚwhere was he goingâŚ? No ideaâŚdid he want to know? NoâŚall he knew was that his life just collapsed in the span of 3 minutesâŚ
