(Someone’s been blessed by motivation)

As Vinny and Enji walked in the hallways, Vinny couldn’t shake his anxiety, on one hand he wanted to do everything to protect his friends, but on the other hand he couldn’t help, but think this was also a mistake…a fork in the road each with their own problems…

“Why’d you cut Cole…?” The cameraman asked quietly, breaking the silence as they walked.

Enji chuckled, “Because I just had to be safe…I wasn’t taking risks with the chest” he replied to the cameraman arrogantly as he wrapped a arm around his neck.

“Rida said that you were finding something that belonged to him…was the chest it?” Vinny questioned once more as he tried avoiding the other mans’ touch.

“Yep, and he’s going to get his way one way or another” Enji replied as he tied up his hair using a hair tie on his wrist.

There was that awkward silence again, it was taking longer to get to the elevator mainly, because they didn’t want to risk waking anyone.

“Do you-“ Vinny was cut off as Enji pulled him into a different corridor and covered his mouth. It was clear Enji didn’t want to get caught. The cameraman stared at the other, confusion evident on his face until he heard soft footsteps.

Vinny peaked slightly and saw Lloyd going towards the kitchen, once he was far enough Enji dragged the other quickly to the gaming room. “Thanks…” the cameraman mumbled, he knew he shouldn’t be thanking him, but if Lloyd saw him and the key was missing there would clearly be some suspects.

“I take my work seriously” Enji spoke, still sounding as arrogant as ever as he pushed Vinny, pressuring him to use the elevator. The cameraman rolled his eyes before carefully putting three shurikens in the dartboard causing the TV to lift as a elevator with a scanner was revealed.

“I think there’s cameras down there…” Vinny spoke as he looked at Enji.

“I’ll deal with them” he spoke before pushing the cameraman in front of the scanner. Vinny looked at the scanner and the elevator opened.

“Ladies first~” Enji teased as he bowed and signalled for Vinny to enter the elevator. The cameraman groaned in disgust as he entered the elevator.

Emoji entered after him, and Vinny took a sharp breathe as the door closed, “No going back now…” he thought to himself as he anxiously itched his hand.

Before he could take another thought the doors opened again as they made it down. Enji walked our first, strolling in like he owned the place, Vinny hesitantly followed behind, slightly sweating due to how nervous he was.

“Where is it?” Enji asked as he looked around.

“N-not sure…I put it there before I left” Vinny replied as he pointed to the table. The other man sighed before going through drawers, cupboards and anything that you could hide a key in.

Eventually his eyes landed on a small compartment in the ground, it was a loose slab, “Bingo~” Enji spoke as he crouched in front of the slab and lifted it, there it was…the key…

“W-what about the cameras?” Vinny asked, he was terrified of being caught, who knows what they all would say about this.

“Relax~! I used my illusions to change how you look to the cameras…so everyone just thinks you’re some random accomplice of mine” Enji chuckled, “You’re so tense” he added as he cupped Vinnys’ cheeks.

“Oh…let’s go back up…” The cameraman replied, as he pulled away from the others’ touch and began walking to the elevator again.

Enji rolled his eyes before grabbing the enchanted mirror from his pocket and grabbed Vinny closer, before throwing the mirror in the air. The cameraman helped slightly and saw the mirror came back down, it expanded and closed around them, he shut his eyes tight quite literally wondering what the fuck is happening.

Vinny opened his eyes and looked around, they were in this room? More so a tunnel…different mirrors, tall, long, short, small, all types of mirrors.

The cameraman hunched over once Enji let him go, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him, whatever that was, messed with Vinny.

“W-Where are we?” Vinny asked the other man through heavy breathes as he looked around the purplish, blue tunnel.

“I don’t even know what it’s called…but it’s how I get around” Enji replied as he dragged Vinny down the tunnel.

“If you just used the mirror, why couldn’t you use it to get down here?” Vinny questioned, annoyance evident as he was dragged by the other.

“Because there’s barely any mirrors there…and any in the vehicles are covered” Enji replied before he threw Vinny through a mirror, one identical to the one in he bedroom.

The cameraman yelped as he was thrown through, expecting an impact he shielded his face. He wasn’t greeted by the cold mirror glass, but instead the floor.

Vinny winced as he sat up on the ground, a hand on his head due to the impact. It wasn’t a hard impact, but it still stung. He looked back at the mirror and groaned as he saw Enji smiling at him devilishly as he waved.

“See you buddy!” He spoke to the cameraman.

“W-wait!” Vinny called out, he had a question about the mirrors, Enji groaned as he heard the others’ voice and reluctantly stuck his head out of the mirror.

“What?” Enji asked, clearly wanting to go to bed right now.

Vinny got up and rushed to the bedside table grabbing the mirror shard that Rida had accidentally left behind the previous day. “What’s this?” He questioned.

Enji took it from Vinnys’ hand and observed it, “A shard like my mirror…this one doesn’t word properly though and it’s old, I used it one time and I fell from the sky” Enji replied as he handed it back.

“You’re not gonna keep it or anything?” Vinny asked as he took it back.

“Rida would’ve came back for it already if he thought it was important and I quite frankly have had my share of bad experiences from that” Enji replied before retreating further into the mirror.

“Alright then…you can go” Vinny mumbled.

“Bye buddy~!” Enji said happily as he tugged on Vinnys’ hair pulling him to the ground before disappearing all together.

The cameraman groaned and winced in pain as he put his hand on his head, “Asshole…” he spoke out loud, just in case so Enji could hear.

He sat back on his bed, putting the shard on the bedside table. He could only hope no one would find anything suspicious about himself.

He was lost in thought before being snapped out by a soft knock, Vinny immediately got up about to open the door, before stopping. He should wait a little before opening it…whoever’s there won’t know he was awake…He also messed up his hair a bit more.

The cameraman waited at the door for a moment, two more knocks heard, he opened the door as he heard the third knock, he stared at the person who knocked with a fake drowsy expression.

Garmadon…great…just what he needed…

Overwhelmed (Vinny x Garmadon)part23

(hsashhajsjjjjajaJ I'M ON A ROLL!!! I hope you guys enjoy this part check out parts 1-22 if you haven't already)

Garmadon began walking over to where he thought his brother might be, mumbling things to himself, "Is he mad at me...why would he be mad...I didn't do anything...why does he want me with him..?" Garmadon mumbled to himself before bumping into Zane. "My...apologies..." The oni said avoiding eye contact. "It is alright...it anything bothering you...you seem to be...distracted?" the ice ninja replied. "I am fine....do you know where my brother is?" Garmadon responded.

Zane nodded and led him to where Wu was, then left. The oni nodded on the door and was told to come in which he did. "Ah brother what brings you here? I thought you would've been with Vinny" Wu said as he sipped his tea then signalled for him to sit down. Garmadon sat down in front of his brother, "I wish I was....but he appears to want me not with him at the moment" the oni said his tone becoming sadder at the thought of that. "Why has something happened between the two of you?" Wu asked curiously he wouldn't expect any anger between the two of them. "Tea?" Wu added earning a nod from his brother. Wu filled a cup of tea for his brother.

"I...am unsure if I did something to upset him...but I think he is mad at me..." Garmadon said sadly, Wu stared at him not believing what he was hearing there was no way Vinny could be mad at Garmadon. "Brother...I highly doubt that he is mad at you. You're over reacting, jumping to conclusions. He's probably just tired and moody" Wu said chuckling softly. The oni stared at his brother wanting to believe his words, but he was overthinking it he loved Vinny too much that anything that he thought was annoying to Vinny made him think he was mad or upset.

"I doubt that...he wanted to talk to the water ninja and wanted me leave..." Garmadon said his voice becoming more upset. "Garmadon...why would he even be mad at you..?" Wu asked his brother trying to give him an idea that Vinny isn't mad. "He's in pain now he's probably mad at me because of that..." The oni said feeling guilty again. "He enjoyed himself right?" Wu asked earning a nod from his brother, "Exactly, if he enjoyed himself he can't really be mad he's just moody" Wu added as he refilled himself his cup of tea. "I...just want to be sure he isn't mad at me..."Garmadon spoke out, Wu honestly felt really bad, it wasn't everyday he saw he brother showing this much emotion.

"Maybe you can talk to him later, and maybe if he's actually mad at you he just wants some space so you don't notice anything bothering him" Wu said, Garmadon let out a sigh, "I hope you're right..." The oni said as he finished his cup of tea.

(WOOOO finished that it might not be as good I had a really shitty headache today and wasn't planning on finishing this but I pulled through for you all so I hope you enjoy my stars)

nah bro this is facts

Please for the love of god consider my AU.

Overwhelmed(part 13 Vinny x Garmadon)

(go check out part 1-12 if you haven't already)

The two lovers slept for a few hours, but Garmadon woke up first he felt like absolute shit and let out a sigh. The former warlord sat up and stared down at his resting angel and smiled to himself. "I don't deserve you..." he whispered to himself before gently kissing his lovers' forehead earning a soft little smile from Vinny. Garmadon stood up before stretching. He was honestly sick of being here, but he had to help he wanted to help his son. Though it did hurt that his son was afraid of embracing his oni form, but couldn't blame him practically all the onis' he's ever seen have been some what evil not counting Mystake.

Garmadon walked out of the monastery and looked around he opened the gate and sat on the edge. It was pretty late and everyone was resting or so he thought. Garmadon leaned back and stared at the sky the stars were shining and it was beautiful. He really started to admire things when he met Vinny, he would've never seen the significance of something before. The thought of that made him chuckle softly, and closed his eyes. "Mind if i join you?"A voice suddenly called out softly causing Garmadon to turn his attention to the owner of the voice.

It was Lloyd, "Not at all.."Garmadon responded to his son before looking back up at the sky. Lloyd sat down next to his father and stared at the sky. "Does Vinny know you're up?" the green ninja asked his father, which Garmadon responded by shaking his head. "i really am sorry..."Lloyd said breaking a silence that stood there for two minutes. "I said it was fine..."He responded to his son, "No it isn't this isn't the first time i heard someone talk to me in that tone" Lloyd responded.

Garmadon stared at his son before letting out a sigh, "You have every reason to not have given me a chance and think that i could not change...."The oni told his son, "No...no I didn't, i shouldn't be judging you for your past mistakes and it wasn't your fault, but...i am really happy you found someone to give you a chance and i can honestly tell you changed"Lloyd said smiling at his father.

"I agree...about finding a person that believed in me not the other stuff"Garmadon responded quickly adding the last part, hearing this made Lloyd laugh out softly, "Believe what you want but remember what i said" said the green ninja comforting his father. Lloyd leaned on his fathers' shoulder, this caught Garmadon off guard but he didn't mind he really did want to make up with his son. Garmadon rested his hand on his sons' head. The two stayed there for 30minutes until Lloyd fell asleep and Garmadon picked up his son and carried him to his room gently laying him on his bed.

On the way back to his room he saw his brother who gave him a soft smile, as Garmadon entered the room he carefully went back into bed not wanting to wake up Vinny. It was at the moment that he's ever felt so calm before.

(Awwww my heart this is like the most heart warming chapter i've ever written and i love it i mean who doesn't love father and son bonding, it's also long hope you guys enjoy)

i just binged watched the entire lego monkie kid and i gotta say ink Wukong was like the hottest thing along with Macquae(i think i spelt that wrong) and Red Son like im sorry no one can come after me for simping for something with the smallest amount of features like he's so hot.

Redemption (Cyrus x Acronix part 2)

(I suggest you check out part 1 if you haven’t already Yea and Cyrus has a medical degree cause why not)

The journey back to Borg Tower was slow and painful they had to stop numerous times due to the fact of Acronixs’ leg, but they eventually made it and went up the ramp. “Y’know we could’ve just went to a hospital you don’t have to go through the extra worry of putting a cast on it”Acronix said while they were in the elevator. “Believe it’s further than here and you’d probably have to wait for a while before they check on you” Cyrus responded.

They both carefully went into this medical room (it was put there because the ninja go there multiple times) Cyrus told Acronix to put his leg out which he did and he took a quick X-ray showing that his leg had a severely broke. Cyrus let out a sigh as he began to apply the material circumferentially from the metatarsal joints to just distal to the fibulae head, overlapping the underlying layer by half of the width of the casting material. He smoothed out the casting material to fill in the interstices in the plaster, bond the layers together, and conform to the contour of the leg. (I researched this shit for you and I don’t even I understand it)

“There we all done” Cyrus said. Acronix is stared at him surprisingly, “Already? That was quick” he said. Cyrus nodded before rolling over to a closet and grabbing some clothes and handing it to Acronix, “I’ll leave you to change and shower he said pointing to a door”Cyrus said rolling over to the door and exiting the room.

Acronix stared at the clothes he was given, it was a maroon hoodie and some loose black sweatpants and of course other shit. Acronix limped to the bathroom turned on the shower before stripping down, Cyrus told him to keep his leg out of the water so he tried his best. He shampooed his hair letting the warm water drip down his body and scars from a few battles of his he scrubbed his body enjoying the comfort of warm water and the smell of mango soap filling his senses. After awhile Acronix left the shower wrapped in a towel he carefully got dressed when I came to the pants he carefully put them on around his leg when put on it was loose and comfy. He then noticed Cyrus gave him a white shirt to wear underneath the hoodie and put it on as well as the hoodie. He stared at the mirror for a moment, “This doesn’t look to bad..”Acronix thought to himself. (I had too much fun writing this paragraph and don’t judge the mango shampoo who doesn’t like mango)

Acronix saw some underarm crutches with a note from Cyrus telling him to use them he carefully used it and honestly didn’t mind the note also told him to come to the 99th floor which he did and found Cyrus working on something. “Whatcha doing?”Acronix asked this caught Cyrus off guard and caused him to flinch. Cyrus rolled around to look at Acronix and was going to say something until he saw how good he looked in those clothes. “You alright?”Acronix asked. Cyrus nodded before turning around again in an attempt to hide his blush. “ S-so how’s your leg feeling?”Cyrus asked still staring at the computer in front of him.

“Much better, still hurts slightly but it feels better, and thank you I’m really grateful for you helping me….”Acronix replied. Cyrus stared at him then smiled, “It’s no problem” Cyrus replied he quite happy to know Acronix was thankful for his help. Acronix moved closer to Cyrus wanting to see what he was doing, “I’m trying to figure what could’ve caused a time vortex to come out of no where because, you didn’t know what happened till after”Cyrus said causing Acronix to make a face of realisation.

“Umm..listen again I’m thankful for your help and i apologise about the whole ‘kidnapping and forcing you to make things’ problem”Acronix said. Cyrus let out a sigh, “Are you just going to keep on saying sorry to me” he chuckled out. “Maybe….”The former master of time replied in an embarrassed tone he honestly felt guilty about the whole thing.

“It’s fine really, I’ll forgive as long as you don’t try anything here”Cyrus replied. Acronix nodded before saying, “I let power and greed control me I should have done any of those things…”. Cyrus stared at him, “As far as I know you were in a time vortex for 40years and your brother made the snakes, kidnapped Ray and Maya and well made the plan”Cyrus replied. Acronix stood there for a while before Cyrus pointed to a beanbag near to him it was pretty much always empty due to Cyrus well…you know. Acronix sat grabbed the beanbag and sat next to him and they began talking eventually Acronix fell asleep and Cyrus went to his bed which wasn’t that far.

(I’m literally simping to the thought of Acronix wearing a maroon hoodie and sweatpants like nah bro it’s sounds so hot don’t judge me😂😂😂😂)

Overwhelmed(part 12)(Vinny X Garmadon)

(ok i found a little time to upload i'll try my best to make this a good part go check out the other parts if you haven't already)

Vinny stared at Lloyd embarrassed, "Now that is something i won't tell you or anyone" Vinny chuckled awkwardly, "i do say i am quite impressed by your relationship with my brother i would have never expected this to happen and for how long have you been together"Wu asked curiously. Vinny smiled before saying" Honestly we actually got together the day before you two came and asked for help", Lloyd stared at him before realisation was evident on his face, "that explains alot"Lloyd said.

Vinny chuckled and nodded and stroked his hand through Garmadons' hair, this caused Garmadon to purr causing Vinny to blush. "so Nya knew about this before all of us, damn.. i can't believe it i'm offended she never told me"Lloyd jokingly said earning a soft laugh from everyone. "Well i do apologise deeply to you brother we should have seen through different perspectives to help you, and i apologise to you about how Misako treated you"Wu said.

Garmadon had his head laying on Vinnys' lap he was staring at the wall, and was quiet for a minute, "It's...fine..."Garmadon finally said his voice sounded soft and broken he hated thinking about anything about forgiving them but they deserved all except Misako...How could he forgive her while he was trapped in the underworld he would've been there for his son but hen when he came back he had to fight him and hell he almost killed him when he was brought back by Harumi.

Vinny stared at Garmadon knowing he was upset, he then gently kissed his fore head attempting to comfort him. "we shall leave you two alone now"Wu said as he left closing the door behind them. "you feeling okay?"Vinny asked earning a small nod from Garmadon. "Let's take a nap that'll make you feel better"Vinny said before laying down and resting Garmadons' head on his chest. "Good night"Vinny said, before being the first one to sleep. Garmadon noticed that his lover was asleep as continued to stare at the wall. "what's wrong with me"He whispered, "why are my eyes like this?"Garmadon thought before rubbing his eyes and noticing a redish liquid on his hands"why are they watery...?". Garmadon hugged himself before digging his nails into his skin. "Why is this happening...?"he whimpered quietly, before slowly falling asleep.

(ah yes Garmadon angst and yes his tears a red)(i hope you all liked this part)

A Fiery Loverstory (Red Son x Mk part 3)

(go check out part 1-2 if you haven't already and yes i do ship Macaque and Wukong the bottom is Macaque if you have a problem i literally do not care)

Red Son stumbled into the mysterious being, "Watch where you're going peasant!" Red exclaimed annoyingly as he tried to balance himself. It's been a few hours since the fight between Mk and he was out in the rain getting drenched. "I...sorry..." the mysterious figure mumbled he had an umbrella with him and had his face covered with a hoodie which made it hard for Red Son to take a clear look at the figures' face but the voice sounded a bit familiar. Red mumbled swears under his voice before walking under the shade talking off his hood and squeezing the water out of his hair. He didn't really care if there was a stranger here but he quickly regretted his decision. "Red Son!?" The figure shouted out surprisingly causing Reds' eyes to dart towards the stranger.

The stranger was looking straight at him and he finally had a clear look at his face causing his eyes to widen in realisation, "Noodle boy!" Red Son hissed angrily. Mk was quick and pinned Red to the wall earning a pained hiss mainly due to the fact he already had the shit beat out of him before. "The hell are you doing here?!" Mk asked angrily. "Well wouldn't you like to fucking know" Red Son replied matching the same angry tone as Mk. "Actually...I would really like to know" Mk added his voice going back into his dumb tone. Red Son stared at him annoyingly before attempting to push him off only for his grip to tighten, "Holy shit! He's fucking strong!" Red Son thought to be honest he never really thought of how strong Mk was.

"Well if you care so much I just decided to go for a walk and clear my head" Red Son said out in a stuck up tone earning an annoyed growl from Mk. "But now you're stuck here" Mk said trying to annoy Red. The fire demon stared at him, " I'll have you know I can easily teleport away from you right now!" Red Son replied trying to wiggled out of Mks' grip. "Well why don't you do it, because to me it looks like your fire isn't working and you're stuck here in the rain" Mk said trying to tease Red. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" Red replied angrily as he blushed slightly.

"Y'know I don't think you're used to weather like this especially since you haven't adapted your powers to this and by the looks of things the rain isn't stopping anytime soon" Mk said trying to get Red to try an realise what he's talking about. "The hell are you trying to get on about?" Red Son asked still annoyed at the fact he was still being pinned to the wall. Mk let out a sigh, "I think you should come crash at my place till the rains over...for someone as smart as you I thought you would've caught on" Mk said. Red Son stared at him weirdly, "You just almost fucking killed me and now you're telling me to come to your place, and even if I do agree how the fuck do I know you won't kill me in my sleep" Red Son hissed, Mk was gonna say something but stopped, " You don't, but I have an extra room in my apartment and you could lock the door" Mk said, Red Son stared at him confusingly, "You have the powers of a fucking immortal mystical monkey what do you think that lock's gonna do to prevent you from entering through the most basic lock" Red Son replied.

"Fair enough, but it's freezing out here so is that a yes or no" Mk asked loosening his grip around Red, "I...guess I could..." Red Son mumbled, "Great let's go!" Mk said before dragging Red Son pulling him under the umbrella and beginning to walk away. Red Son yelped when he was pulled away, but just went along with this. The two began walking and Red felt really cold he wasn't used to this environment. Mk noticed he was shivering slight and pulled him in closer. He couldn't blame Red for being cold his clothes were drenched. Red Son blushed slightly he's never been shown this much affection by anyone other than Macaque and that's because he was the only one that understood his situation.

Eventually they made it there and entered through the door on the side. Mk told Red to sit on the couch as he went to get him a towel and some clothes. Mk threw a jacket, sweatpants ,shirt and towel and Red before leaving him to change into some warm clothes. Red Son let out a sigh, "Stupid noodle boy, and his stupid empathy..." Red mumbled to himself as he began changing. The pants were a little oversized meanwhile the jacket was really big. It covered his hands and it was honestly embarrassed. " I feel so small in this..." Red thought to himself before drying his hair with the towel, this dried his hand and made it pretty soft and fluffy.

Mk walked back in when Red was done and his eyes widened when he saw how cute Red looked, he was honestly speechless and had blush covering his face meanwhile Red was staring at Mk who was wearing sweatpants and was shirtless. "The hell are you staring at...?" Red stuttered out embarrassingly. "I-I umm n-nothing...and I sorry I just enjoy sleeping shirtless "Mk replied, there was an awkward silence before the two, "since when were you and Macaque friends?" Mk added finally breaking the silence. "Awhile now" Red replied Mk stared at him, "He doesn't annoy you or anything?" Mk asked, Red let out a sigh, " The only thing that's annoying is how much he talks about Monkey King" Red replied MKs' eyes lit up, "He does the same? Monkey King never stops talking about how much he hates Macaque and it's like, okay we get it you two are gay for each other" Mk laughed out, "Yes! They literally fight like an old married couple" Red laughed out in agreement. Mk was surprised with how quickly Reds' emotions changed especially when they were talking about something he liked. " To be honest when Macaque came I literally had no idea what was going on" Mk said out softly, " Yea, he must've followed me he tends to do that, for my protection" Red replied. Mk went and sat next to him on the couch, and continued to listen to him rant about how he could easily kill him right now.

Mk was really distracted by Reds' hair and just touched it. "I...umm...what're doing?" Red asked he wasn't a fan of others touching his hair mainly cause of how sensitive his head was and he honestly just felt weird when his hair was roughly pulled on, meaning he has a kink for having his hair pulled. Mk continued to touch Reds' hair, "So soft and fluffy..." Mk said, Red Son blushed and stood up, "W-which way is it to the bedroom" Red stuttered out, Mk pointed to a room and Red went in it. He was really embarrassed and layed down before slowly falling asleep.

Mk let out a sigh before getting up and going to his room and laying on his bed before drifting off into a deep sleep.

(Ayyy hope you guys enjoy)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 84

(I suggest you check out parts 1-83 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny positioned himself before turning his attention back to Shancai, “Don’t rush yourself” the prince spoke, receiving a nod from the cameraman. Vinny began hitting where he was told, he was being up his arm to block one of the logs.

He was trying to get the hang of it going at a slow, but understandable speed. Shancai came over and moved the cameramans’ arms into a different position. “That should be for efficient” the prince spoke, as he allowed Vinny to continue.

The cameraman slowly began going faster, “I’m getting hang if this” he laughed out softly as he continued knocking and blocking the logs. Shancai nodded in response as he pressed the blunt end of his spear against Vinnys’ back, fixing his posture. “Y’know you can just tell what to fix?” The cameraman asked.

“I know…but it’s more fun poking you” The prince answered causing Vinny to laugh out. The cameraman repeated the actions over and over, Shancai sometimes fixing his technique. The two were so focused they didn’t even notice Wu and Garmadon staring for the stairs.

“Strange” Wu spoke to his brother.

“Agreed…what do you think they’re up to?” Garmadon questioned.

“Perhaps Vinny’s just curious on how to fight?” Wu answered.

“Why all of a sudden? Something must’ve sparked it” The oni replied, as worry began to creep up his back.

“Definitely…but it seems like he’s in good hands…” Wu spoke as he looked at Vinny who was laughing about something with Shancai.

As the cameraman kept repeating the same actions, it began getting a little too fast to him and the part he was supposed to block flew straight by. He shut his eyes bracing for the impact, but it never came, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the prince holding it back. “Thank you” Vinny whined.

“It’s more common than you think” Shancai spoke, “If you can’t block then find a different solution” he continued as the cameraman turned his head to the side curiously.

“What’s that meant to mean?” Vinny asked curiously, as he allowed the prince to demonstrate.

“There’s always another way” Shancai spoke as he began hitting the logs, the cameraman paid close attention and watched it speed up. “If you can’t block it…then hit this” the prince spoke as he knocked a lower log.

“Ohhh that makes more sense” The cameraman spoke as he realised what it meant.

“How about we try something else?” The prince asked.

“Like what? I’ll do whatever you tell me” Vinny answered as he looked at Shancai.

“Just a little sparring, i won’t attack, I’ll defend against you while you attempt to kill me” The prince spoke.

“Kill you?” The cameraman asked in surprise.

“Hypothetically, use this and attempt to imitate a wound on me” Shancai answered as he handed Vinny a stick.

“I guess I can” The cameraman answered as he took the stick.

“I’ll go easy” The prince spoke as he backed up.

“That so makes me better” Vinny joked as he looked at him.

“To succeed in getting a kill, press the stick here or here” The prince spoke as he pointed to his neck and upper body.

“Lower any expectations you had for me” the cameraman chuckled as he gripped the stick.

“I shall not…my expectations are from what I’ve seen of you” Shancai answered.

“Are they good expectations?” Vinny asked curiously.

“Not the worst” The prince answered.

“I’ll take it!” The cameraman laughed.

“Now then…try to attack me” Shancai spoke as he stood back waiting for Vinny to attack.

“What are they doing?” Wu asked his brother curiously.

“Sparring perhaps” Garmadon answered, as he kept his eyes on the cameraman.

“I doubt Vinny would be able to spare against him” Wu spoke, receiving a soft nod from the oni. “Where do you think he got that outfit from?” He questioned once more.

“Perhaps the prince…” Garmadon replied, it would be a lie if he said jealousy didn’t taint with his emotions. “Though the cloak seems made of a cloth” he added.

“Agreed…” Wu spoke, as they watched Vinny and Shancai stare at each other as they both seemed to be thinking, the cameraman of how to fight against him and the prince on when he’ll move first.

There was silence between the brothers before Wu squinted his eyes as he noticed something peeking out of the sleeve of Vinny’s t-shirt. “Is that a bandage?” He questioned as he pointed towards where his sight was focused. This caused his brother to immediately look towards where Wu was pointed to.

“It is…” The oni answered, he couldn’t keep worry from tainting with his voice.

“It seems to be cared for at least…” Wu spoke in an attempt to comfort for his brother.

“Seems like it…” Garmadon grumbled, “He has someone taking care of him…”

“Don’t be so worried brother” Wu chuckled, though it was clearly forced, “I can assure you nothing’s happening” Garmadon sighed hearing this, jealousy and worry plaguing his thoughts as he stared at the cameraman.

“It is unwise to take so long in attacking your enemy” Shancai spoke up, as he noted Vinnys’ silence and hesitance.

“I know…” The cameraman whined, he clearly had no idea what he was doing.

“Picture me as someone else” The prince spoke.

“Like who?” Vinny questioned.

“Enji…” Shancai sighed out, he seemed reluctant in mentioning Enjis’ name, though the cameraman wouldn’t press on with questions.

“I can do that!” Vinny spoke with a smile, as he gripped the stick tighter before taking a deep breath and lunging towards Shancai.

The prince dodged with ease, causing the cameraman to tumble forward, “Oww…” he muttered before getting back up and dusting himself off. “Is there anything off limits I can’t do?” He asked.

“Not at the moment, I’ll tell you if I think of any” Shancai spoke before dodging once more as Vinny attacked again. “Also don’t let your guard down…”

“I thought you were gonna go easy” The cameraman jokingly whined, causing a smile to break through the cracks of the princes’ stoic demeanour, before quickly vanishing.

“Seems like it’s more so attacker and defender” Wu spoke to his brother. Garmadon was snapped out of his thoughts from staring at Vinny, as he looked towards Wu.

“It’s better that way” The oni spoke as he tried to hide the blush that tainted his cheeks, “Vinny can’t fight him…” he added.

“Have more faith in him brother” Wu laughed out, “I think a part of you enjoys seeing him fight as well as in that outfit” he teased as he nudged his brother. Garmadons’ cheeks grew red with blush as he looked away.

“I do not!” The oni argued, before watching his brother roll his eyes at the argument .

“Whatever you believe in” Wu joked as he turned his attention back to the cameraman and the prince.

Vinny lunged again, this time more thoughtful as he tracked Shancais’ moves. He managed to hit his leg with the stick. “You’re a quick learner” The prince spoke, sounding quite impressed.

“Thanks” The cameraman answered with a smile before suddenly attacking again, somewhat grazing the princes’ abdomen not harsh with the stick though. Shancai looked surprised by this and just as impressed.“I thought you said don’t let your guard down” Vinny teased.

“Perhaps I shouldn’t go easy?” The prince asked.

“Oh no please I’m sorry” the cameraman whined, there was no way he would be able to hit the prince if he wasn’t going easy.

“Very well” Shancai chuckled, “Though I’m not dead yet…you need to hit vital parts” he added, receiving a nod from the cameraman.

“He learns fast…” Wu spoke to his brother.

“Yea…” Garmadon answered, he was hardly listening, he seemed so absorbed of Vinny at the moment.

“I need to check on the ninja” Wu added, receiving a nod from his brother. “Tell me if anything happens and try not to stare too much” Wu teased before walking back inside.

“I don’t stare that much…” Garmadon grumbled.

“It’s hard picturing you as someone else and especially as Enji…he’s annoying and I’ve never wanted to strangle someone so badly” The cameraman spoke, as annoyance and anger tainted with his voice as he made a gesture with his hands of strangling someone.

“Imagine I’m trying to hurt your friends” Shancai spoke, causing the cameraman to let out a shaky sigh and nod.

The two settled back in their original positions both wary of each others movements. Vinny lunged forward once more, the prince dodged as well more wary of him. The cameraman grumbled, “Think of Enji…” he muttered to himself, as his grip of the stick grew stronger.

The prince noticed the way Vinny tensed and grew more cautious. The cameraman let out shaky sigh and closed his eyes, when he reopened them it wasn’t Shancai in front of him, but Enji…and he wasn’t holding a stick anymore but a dagger…

Vinny lunged forward one last time, the prince about it dodge when his leg was suddenly kicked and he stumbled slightly trying to regain his balance, he let out a sharp hiss of pain as a hand wrapped around his hair and he was pulled to the ground. The cameraman held him to the ground as the stick pressed against his throat.

Garmadon stood up straight with worry as he saw this, he saw Vinny constantly press the stick against his throat. What was going on? Vinny looked somewhat hysteric and the prince was in shock.

“How badly I wanna kill you” The cameraman hissed, causing ‘Enjis’ expression to harden. “You’d look good without an arm” he threatened as he pressed the ‘dagger’ against ‘Enjis’ arm. Vinny took sharp breaths as his grip tightened, he wasn’t thinking straight but he didn’t know that.

Everything around his was weird, his sight was blurry and he couldn’t hear anything. He heard something from ‘Enji’…but he tried blocking it before he was flipped over onto the ground, now he was switched with ‘Enji’…there was a clatter on the ground, though he didn’t know what it was.

“Vinny…calm down” ‘Enji’ spoke, why was he telling Vinny to calm down? This wasn’t right. He would never. “Whatever you’re seeing isn’t real…calm down and breathe it’s me, Shancai…” Shancai…right…Enji wasn’t here. Vinny was just sparring…then what was he seeing.

The cameraman took a shaky breaths and he held onto Shancais’ shirt.

Garmadon watched from a far, as much as he wanted to rush over there and see what was wrong, he knew it was a stupid idea, he wouldn’t get an answer either way.

“You okay…?” The prince asked with worry as he kept the cameraman on the ground, to prevent any further reactions.

“I…f-fuck…” Vinnys’ eyes widened in shock and guilt as he noticed a cut on Shancais’ cheek and his arm. “S-shit I am s-so sorry…” he stuttered out as his eyes darted to the ground, he actually brought the dagger out and used it…he was hallucinating…

“Hey…it’s fine, I’m fine, I don’t need you panicking again…” Shancai sighed as he hesitantly let him go.

“I-I hurt you…f-fuck!” He groaned in annoyance, “I-I pulled your hair? Fuck I am such an asshole!” He was feeling really fucking guilty. The memories wow what happened began slowly plaguing his mind as well as guilt.

“Clam down…I’m fine, you were hallucinating…” Shancai answered as he watched Vinny degrade himself.

“Why the fuck was I hallucinating?!” The cameraman asked with worry.

“You certainly hate Enji…” the prince spoke.

“Fuckkk…” Vinny groaned, well now he has hallucinations to deal with.

“Let’s just have a break…” Shancai sighed as he got up and grabbed Vinnys’ water bottle from the side and a little kit. He gave the cameraman his water bottle and sat next to him.

Garmadon was really worried, he managed to hear something about hallucinations from the yelling. Vinny was having hallucinations? Why was Shancai so normal about it? Well now he definitely had to tell his brother.

The two sat down, they both needed a break. The guilt Vinny felt was immense and it was clear. Shancai didn’t make a big deal of it, which was a good thing.

(I haven’t uploaded in a while, just been really busy but I came and decided to have a little sadness, also Garmadon is so in love with Vinny😭)
