Vinny and Shancai sat in silence, the cameraman was really mad at himself for hurting him. “What were you seeing?” The prince spoke up, breaking the intimidating silence, as he bandages the small cuts from Vinny.

The cameraman didn’t answer at first before he took a deep sigh, “Enji…just as you told me too…everything was just different” he confessed as he looked at the ground.

“I’m not mad…” Shancai reassured Vinny, “Go wash your face off, take as long as you need” he added as he patted the cameramans’ shoulder, grabbing the dagger off the ground and handing it to him.

Vinny exhaled shakily as he took the dagger back, he still couldn’t bear the fact that he hurt Shancai, because of some stupid hallucinations. “Thanks…” the cameraman replied quietly as he stood up and took one last look at the prince, giving him a forced smile, he could clearly see the concern etched on Shancais’ face.

The cameraman walked back into the palace and let out another sigh, before rubbing his temples, and walking off to his room. He didn’t want to keep Shancai waiting, but he didn’t even want to look at the prince after what he did.

Vinny eventually made it to his room and rushed to the bathroom, before splashing his face with cold water. “Calm down you little shit…” he spoke to himself as he looked at the mirror. “Just some fucking hallucinations, this sure as hell can’t happen around my friends…” he grumbled.

The cameraman paused as he looked at the mirror once more, Damn did he look good in this outfit. He mentally slapped himself, he needed to stop getting distracted so he rushed out of the room, closing the door behind him.

The walk back outside was so, he wanted to delay facing the prince again. So when he bumped into Deity it was the perfect opportunity to waste some time. “Hey” Vinny spoke to her with a smile, as they bumped into each other.

“Hello dear” Deity spoke softly as she smiled back.

“Whatcha up to?” The cameraman asked curiously, “I haven’t really seen you much out of your room” he added as he balanced on the balls of his feet.

“Just getting some fresh air” She replied, “What about you? That’s a very interesting outfit you have, some of Shancai’s old clothes?”

“Yep! We’re just training, got some of his clothes, the cloak is makeshift and he just gave me the arm braces” Vinny answered with a smile.

“That’s nice” Deity answered, though…something was off, the cameraman couldn’t quite place his finger on it, so he thought he was being delusional again. The two walked a different as to where Vinny was meant to go, they ended up in this room that he couldn’t quite recognise.

“I’ve never seen this place before” The cameraman spoke up as he looked around, it was a nicely decorated room, beanbags, old drawings and stuff, though it looks like it hasn’t been touched in decades, she didn’t clarify this place to him though.

“How’s your arm dear from yesterday?” Deity asked, Vinnys’ heart dropped, how did she know? He and Shancai agreed to keep it a secret…

He knew the prince was just as paranoid of someone finding out. He wouldn’t have told. No one else was there at the market when Enji attacked, barely anyone saw the cameraman. The only one that could’ve know was…Enji…

Vinny backed away, only to hear a soft chuckle from ‘Deity’ which slowly became more conniving. “You really make these games less fun” ‘she’ groaned before she disappeared, the cameraman jumped as he felt two hands cover his eyes. “Guess who it is~” a familiar voice spoke in a singsongy voice, a voice that Vinny dreaded.

“Enji…” the cameraman gritted through his teeth as hatred and annoyance creeped up his back. This asshole was pretending to be Deity now?

“Correct! And I must say I love the outfit” Enji laughed out demonically as he moved his hands away from the cameramans’ eyes. “I must say! That little attack you did on princey hurts my heart!” He spoke dramatically.

“That was you!?” Vinny hissed as anger flared up, oh how he wanted to cut his tongue right now.

“Calm down buddy!” Enji chuckled as he held up his arms in mock surrender, before grabbing the cameramans’ arm and finding the slice wound. “That looks like it hurt” he spoke with fake empathy.

“Yea yea asshole, go suck it” Vinny grumbled before he held up his middle finger as he pulled his arm back.

“You’re so boring” Enji groaned.

“I’m not here to entertain you” The cameraman muttered.

“C’mon buddy! Let’s just talk, I’m so bored!” Enji groaned once more before resting on one of the dusty beanbags.

“What do you want to talk about?” Vinny hissed, clearly getting more annoyed.

“Yesterday was so much fun right! But Shanni just had to take the fun out of it protect you” Enji spoke, his voice becoming more harsh near the end of his sentence.

“I didn’t ask him to protect me” Vinny snapped back, “Not my fault you’re some freak hell you should’ve seen what that kick did to him! Were you trying to kill me?!” He shouted, he was really short tempered today.

“Kill you? No. Cripple you? Probably” Enji teased as he grabbed the dagger from the cameramans’ pocket and twirled it in his pocket. “I would never hurt sunshine like that” he added, there was truth to those words.

“Sunshine…?” Vinny asked curiously, there was no way Enji called Shancai sunshine. He knew Enji had some weird obsession with the prince, but seriously, was he actually in love with Shancai?

“We both know who I’m talking about!” Enji chuckled out, as he took his hair tie out, letting his hair fall down.

“I wish I didn’t…” the cameraman grumbled.

“How was your meeting with Rushifa?” Enji suddenly asked as a demonic smile creeped up on his face, Vinny stopped breathing for a second, he didn’t want to think about it.

“It was…” The cameraman was cut off by Enji cackling out.

“You missed me right?! Oh you so missed me! Can’t blame you, that snake is crazy!” He laughed out, Vinny hated how true his words were, he would rather deal with Enji than that snake ever again.

“Keep laughing asshole…” The cameraman muttered before being pulled down onto the ground and forced to kneel in front of Enji.

“I will keep laughing” Enji snapped back as he watched annoyance creep onto Vinnys’ face. “Speaking of which! How’s your boyfriend? He doesn’t love you right? You’re on a break, because you’re fucking terrible?” He added, as he continued twirling the dagger as he looked down at Vinny.

The cameramans’ anger flared as he suddenly lunged up grabbing the dagger from Enji and holding it against his throat. “Shut up!” He hissed as he held him down. “You don’t know a thing about me and Garmadon!”

“Soft spot eh?” Enji teased, “Y’know it’s best to get rid of your weak spots, maybe then you’ll kill me” he chuckled as he held Vinnys’ wrist. “I know you won’t kill me…Shanni loves me, you wouldn’t take that from him, right?” He added.

Vinny let out a shaky breath, that couldn’t be true, right? But it would make so much sense, Shancai was capable to killing Enji, but hasn’t for some reason. And apparently the two used to be friends. Maybe Shancai just had a soft spot? “Maybe I should get rid of you…do him a favour” The cameraman eventually spoke up, his voice harsh and bitter.

(Enji and Shancai are such an interesting thing that I love, always have loved and always will love, Vinny threatening people is like being threatened by a kitten)

It was the next morning and by that it was 6:27am and Vinny woke up, he didn't have work for 3 more hours but he wanted to go for a run before work and get up early in general. He also wanted to make his own coffee since he prefers black coffee rather than coffee with sugar or milk he also wanted to see if Zane was awake so he could check out his stab wounds. The cameraman yawned as he woke up and looked beside him thinking he was going to find Garmadon, "Oh right...he isn't here..." Vinny thought as he got up and stretched.

Vinny looked through his clothes and pulled out his signature white shirt, blue jacket and dark green trackpants. He went to the bathroom quickly and washed his face to refresh himself and wake up properly but ended up standing there with his hand under the warm water for 5 minutes. Once he finished he got dressed and grabbed some bandages and stuffed them into his dark green duffle bag. He also put a water bottle and he dagger in there. The cameraman left his bag in there for the time being and went out to the kitchen.

No one was in there like the past few days probably because he was up early, Vinny began making black coffee with three shots of expresso, because I've confirmed he's a coffee addict. The cameraman also made a shower like the one from yesterday, he made two of them, one for now and one for his so called 'work' he had today, and maybe to give to Rida? After that Vinny decided to see if Zane was awake he didn't want to go straight to his room and decided to go into the armoury, it took him a moment to realise how the elevator worked but he learned eventually and went down.

Vinny went down and looked around, he saw Zane at the computers while Pixal was working on some mechs. "Umm...hey you two?" The cameraman said awkwardly catching the two nindroids attention. "What can we do for you?" Pixal asked as she looked up from the mech she and her mini Pix's were melding. "Umm...well I need a few wounds checked out..." Vinny said awkwardly as he looked away. The two nindroids looked at the cameraman curiously, "What types of wounds? And where?" The ice ninja asked as he devoted all his attention to Vinny.

"Uhh...stab wounds...on my hand and foot..." Vinny muttered out just loud enough for the two to hear. "Stab wounds...? From where? It couldn't have been an accident if it's on your hand and foot" Pixal spoke as she jumped off the mech she was working on. "C-can you two just not ask questions and check it...please?" The cameraman asked desperately not wanting to answer, he knew very well he couldn't fool the two nindroids unlike the rest of the ninja they could tell emotion.

"Very well" Zane spoke out as he signalled for Vinny to sit on a chair which he did along with Pixal and Zane. The ice ninja held out his hand in a way to signal Vinny to show it. The cameraman did show it and it caused the two nindroids to be a little surprised, the two also looked at he burns on Vinnys' arms. "How long have you had this?" Pixal asked curious as she observed the wound, it was really deep, "A few days..." Vinny replied as he avoided eye contact. "This stab wound is recent but the burn isn't it was from Garmadon, am I correct?" The ice ninja asked earning a nod from the cameraman as he felt sadness thinking about the oni.

Zane didn't stay anything but instead grabbed a medical box and pulled out some disinfectant wipes, "The chance of it getting infected is high...and you have one on your foot as well, but you didn't tell anyone? You're lucky it hasn't been infected yet and it's good you decided to come here. You also need stitches" Zane spoke as he started to disinfect the wound cause Vinny to wince in pain. "May I take a look at your foot? You might need stitches on that as well" She spoke softly earning a nod from the cameraman as he tried his best to ignore the pain.

Pixal took a close look and grimaced slightly, "May I ask who stabbed you...?" She asked, causing Vinny to immediately shake his head, "I will admit I was stabbed but I won't say by who and if you think it was Garmadon it wasn't" The cameraman spoke causing the two nindroids to sigh as the both disinfected the wounds. "You are fine with us giving you stitches, it'll heal faster" The ice ninja spoke in his calm voice. The cameraman nodded as he sighed out tiredly, he had his coffee mug with him and drank from it.

Zane grabbed the appropriate needle for stitching human and gave one to Pixal. The two ever so carefully stitched Vinny up, the cameraman would let out the occasional wince of pain, Pixal insisted on Vinny using numbing cream but he denied. After a while the two were done and the cameraman let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks you two...can you not tell anyone about this though?" Vinny asked as he looked at his hand and pulled two fingerless gloves from his pocket and put them on. "We'll try" Zane and Pixal said in unison.

Vinny thanked them once more before going back up and putting socks and shoes on. The cameraman came back out and saw Garmadon and Wu talking, Vinny heard his name be mentioned due to the two not noticing him. The cameraman knew Garmadon probably was talking about what happened. "Morning...I'm gonna go to work now..." Vinny mumbled as he walked past Garmadon and Wu pretending he didn't here himself be mentioned.

Garmadon looked at Vinny worriedly as he walked away, he knew Vinny wasn't going to work and knew Vinny had work at 9:30 and right now it was 8:30 am. The cameraman wanted to go for a run to clear his mind and went down the elevator and began jogging with his duffle bag across his chest like a handbag. As Vinny made it down before entering the city a voice called him in an alley, he followed it keeping his hand on his dagger in his pocket.

Suddenly Vinnys' arm was grabbed but Vinny was faster and managed to get the person into a chokehold holding the dagger at their throat. "Holding the dagger I gave you against my throat?" The person said, before the cameraman realised it was Rida, "S-shit sorry, I thought you were someone else" Vinny apologised as he let Rida go, "No it's my fault I do admit mysteriously calling your name from an alley and grabbing you isn't the nicest greeting" The orange eyed man said softly, this made Vinny chuckle softly.

"Going for a run? Can I join?" Rida asked earning a nod from Vinny. The two began jogging, but Vinny still couldn't shake the feeling that Rida was hiding something.

After around 5 minutes Wu came back with a bottle of cold water and some pain killers, "What's that?" Garmadon asked, as he was unfamiliar with pain killers. Wu let out a sigh, "Just something to reduce any pain he might be in when he wakes up" Wu replied placing the things on the bed side table. "Umm...Lloyd and Nya they might...come up to you and ask a few things..." Wu said out awkwardly to his brother, "I expected that..." Garmadon replied still stroking Vinnys' hair. Wu nods before getting up and leaving leaving Garmadon with his thoughts. "What questions would they ask...?" The oni thought to himself panicking inside as he really sucked at answering questions.

Garmadon was sitting there for hours not knowing what to do he really didn't want to do anything but stay close to Vinny, he wanted to stay with him forever and keep him safe. Garmadon dozed off at what was presumably 1:49am the next day. His arms still wrapped around Vinny. A few more hours went by and it was 7:31am and Vinny woke up. He felt like absolute dog shit.... His legs hurt his head hurt his stomach felt like his organs have been rearranged.

Vinny looked at Garmadon before smiling to himself he looked peaceful. The smaller squirmed trying to get comfortable and ignore the pain. Eventually this squirming woke up Garmadon from his slumber. "H-Hey you alright?" The oni asked worriedly once he got to his senses and realised Vinny was in pain. "Y-yea...my legs just hurt.." The smaller responded obviously lying. Garmadon let out a sigh and grabbed the water and pain killers from the bedside table before giving it to Vinny. "I-I told my brother to get this for you in case you were in pain...will it work?" the oni asked worriedly, Vinny smiled at him and nodded before taking two tablets and swallowing it down with water.

"T-Thanks...we just need to give it a minute.." Vinny said as he nuzzled into Garmadons' chest desperate for affection. Garmadon sighed in relief happy it would work. The oni brought Vinny closer fulfilling his needs for affection. "Sooo..your brother know..." the smaller spoke his voice was small and soft. "Y-Yea...so does Lloyd and the water ninja" Garmadon responded, Vinny let out a giggle making Garmadon blush, "Well of course Nya knows....you literally took me away in front of her and I told her what happened before.." Vinny giggled out (and yes they are gossip buddies now) "Yea I guess that did happen..." The oni said remembering what happened.

Garmadon looked at Vinny he looked so tired he had black circles underneath his eyes, "You look really tired you should sleep more.." the oni said worriedly causing Vinny to let out a sigh, "I'm fine...I promise.." Vinny said as he snuggled up against Garmadon. "No you're not...you really should sleep" Garmadon said again trying to convince Vinny to sleep. The smaller let out a sigh, "I swear Garm....I'm fine" Vinny repeated wanting his lover to listen and his voice starting to sound a little irritated.

Garmadon noticed the change in tone and instantly stopped talking, he didn't want to upset Vinny and couldn't blame him for being a little moody and ignorant. "Fine..." The oni hesitantly said in defeat, Vinny smiled and snuggled Garmadon before drinking more water.

Vinny felt his neck and felt some bite marks, "Wow you really do like biting" he joked, but Garmadon didn't catch on the joke and felt really bad, "Sorry did I hurt you?" The oni instantly said worriedly as he checked Vinnys' neck, "Garm....jokes remember.." Vinny chuckled out as he assured he lover he was fine.

This went on for a while till Nya came in unannounced, "How you two feeling?" She said as she put a tray of pancakes for the two. "O-Oh hey Nya!" Vinny said out surprisingly his voice wasn't that loud, "Ooohhh...I thought your voice was gonna be gone so I made you some tea and...here's some muscle relief cream for your body" Nya said putting the cream on the bedside table, "Thank you you didn't need to" Vinny said out softly while Garmadon was a bit surprised about Nya coming in.

"I'll talk to you later right now I need to go back before the others get suspicious as to why I'm taking long bye!" Nya said before leaving. "Well she sure is energetic.." Garmadon chuckled out, "Yea really energetic.." Vinny responded. "Why don't we eat and you can tell me how I can apply that cream on you" The oni said calmly earning a nod from Vinny.

(HAHAHUIAHUAHHAU YES I MADE YOU ANOTHER PART BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND HAVE STARVED YOU FOR LONG ENOUGH)

The while later, "Holy shit I'm tired" Vinny said as he stretched out, Cole was going to say something but yawned instead, "Fair enough, I'm gonna sleep to" Kai said out, Vinny looked at Kai and smirked, "Let me guess, Cole's gonna come and sleep with you~?" Vinny teased making the two ninja turn bright red, "W-what!? N-no!" Kai said out embarrassingly as Cole covered his face. Garmadon didn't know what to say so kept quiet he didn't enjoy talking around others.

"Well then see you tomorrow" Vinny said as he stood up and left with Garmadon. The oni looked at Vinny once they were outside the room, he was hiding something, he was walking ahead of Garmadon and being avoidant. "You okay?" The oni asked again, receiving the same response as before which was a nod. "Why are you lying to me...?" Garmadon asked, his voice sounded a little hurt and upset, he respected Vinnys' privacy but he could see something was affecting him.

Vinny looked at Garmadon with a guilty expression, "I'm not..." Vinny responded as he began walking knowing the oni would follow, Garmadon did in fact follow and caught up easily, "Yes you are...you've been acting different since I woke up...did something happen?" The oni asked as he walked next to Vinny.

"Please...Garmadon please...just forget about it..." Vinny responded, his voice was small and irritation and guilt could be heard in his tone of voice. The oni was going to say something but didn't he would ask if this became worse.

The two made it to their bedroom and Garmadon sat on the bed, "I'm...gonna go wash my face...feel free to sleep..."Vinny said as he went to the bathroom. The oni knew something happened but didn't want to get involved if Vinny didn't want him in it. So he lied down on the bed waiting for the cameraman to come out but slowly drifted into a sleep.

Vinny dropped to his knees in the bathroom and sobbed to himself quietly covering his mouth. "I'm such an idiot..." He whimpered out quietly before bringing his knees to his chest. "Yes you are~" A voice called out as the bathroom changed its colour to red and black again. Suddenly the reflection thing happened again and the reflection came out of the mirror.

Vinny backed away into a corner trying to stay far away, this made the reflection smirk, "Honestly...now you're telling people about me~ Kinda sad really, Oh and yea even the other ninja think you're able to kill~!" The reflection said as it moved closer to Vinny. The reflection let out a sigh, "Y'know we had a shitty meeting lets start with introduction~! How about I start!" it added.

"I'm you`" The reflection said as it got right in Vinnys' face, "N-no...you're not..."Vinny replied, making the shadow sigh and stand up straight, "You're right I'm not.....restart~! My name is Enji!" The reflection said as it was engulfed in a mist and once it disappeared a man he had black hair with streaks of white hair and from the looks of it he had black eyes, but when he looked down and up again his eyes flashed blue.

"What seems to be the problem? Did something happen between my brother? Or are you hurt?" Wu asked as he sat down in front of Vinny. "N-No...none of this has to do with Garmadon, I lied to him as to why I wanted to come here" The cameraman said guilt present in his tone of voice. Wu looked at him worriedly, "Really and what's the lie that you told him?" he asked, Vinny looked down.

"I sometimes itch my hand when I'm nervous or upset I was walking here with him and he noticed it, he asked me about it and I told him that I came to you to see if you have something for it and now he's waiting outside and I feel horrible" Vinny said out in breathe, Wu looked at him surprisingly, "Well you probably have a really good reason" He spoke out trying to make Vinny feel better.

"Yea..." Vinny said as he remembered why he was here and itched his hand because I decided he itched his hand when he's nervous. "I'm here to listen and help you with whatever's troubling you" Wu spoke out, Vinny smiled at him and looked at the ground.

"When me and Garm were resting I had a nightmare....I was trapped somewhere, at first I thought it was real, four walls one of them had a key hole" Vinny spoke out as Wu followed, "I kept shouting out for help, but no one there eventually a weird key appeared in front of me and then disintegrated, I continued to shout and the place began collapsing then I woke up...a-and t-then...." Vinny thought of the figure and went silent.

"Is everything alright? You can skip this if you want" Wu said trying to comfort Vinny, but he shook his head, "N-no this is the whole reason I'm here....I sat up and there was this figure they were wearing a black and red robe along with a mask that looked like a bird, I didn't recognise them, but they said I'm smarter than they thought their voice was distorted and then-" Vinny was cut off by Wu who looked absolutely confused.

"A figure wearing a black and red robe wearing a mask with a distorted voice?" Wu said out confusingly, Vinny nodded, "That's not even the weirdest of it!" The cameraman spoke out as he rested his head in the palms of his hands. Wu looked shocked, "I-I will ask questions at the end, continue" he said to Vinny who nodded.

"Well I was like 'what the fuck' so I drank some water and went to wash my face, I washed my face and looked down at the sink reassuring myself that I was tired and when I looked up, my reflection was smiling at me, but it had red eyes so I obviously grabbed the nearest thing and that was a fucking toothbrush because I panicked, the reflection asked me if I was scared then I kept saying it wasn't real but it said it was real and then it tried giving me and existential crisis by asking me if I was real" Vinny spoke out before taking a deep breathe, (Most of this is dialogue)

"And it kept saying it would go after everyone like Garmadon, Lloyd and Nya and it brought up Misako knowing how she upset Garmadon and that I'm all bark but no bite! The bathroom changed from blue and white to red and black and then the fucking reflection came out of the mirror and grabbed me before it left it mentioned someone else saying that 'he was right about you being smarter...and more aggressive than you look' did I forget to mention it knows about me and Garmadon dating" Vinny finally finished and took deep breathes.

"I instructed you to go keep an eye on him...not to harm him again..." Rida spoke out, his voice sounded distorted and he was speaking fairly calm. "S-sorry..." Enji replied as he stood up straight, Rida looked down at Vinny who was on the floor slowly backing away from the two. The masked figure let out a sigh clearly noticing Vinnys' lack of sleep and puffy eyes from crying. "Don't do it again...unless I tell you..." Rida said as he looked back at Enji who nodded in response. Vinny looked up at Rida and holy shit was he tall he was like Garmadon, but just a bit shorter.

"What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck...!" Vinny screamed internally as he brought his knees to his chest. "Enji give me the blade..." Rida instructed which the black haired menace obeyed instantly giving him the blade he was harming Vinny with. Rida took the blade and crouched down in front of the shaken cameraman who tried to squirm away. "I won't harm you..." The masked figure spoke, his voice was oddly calming yet....unnerving...

Vinny was still tense but stopped trying to get away, "What do you two want with me...?" he asked his voice breaking slightly as he held back tears, he's had so much things happen in the span of less than a week he was tired and sick of this. "Nothing too much....but...you won't be telling us anything about it anytime soon..." Rida replied calmly as he placed the blade down in front of Vinny, that was the first time he had a clear view of the blade, it was made with a black crystal which had black spots to it through it and the handle was wrapped in what looked like leather. "It's quite a beautiful dagger, isn't it?" Rida asked breaking the silence.

Vinny hesitantly nodded, he didn't like how friendly Rida was being, it was unnerving and gave Vinny mixed feelings about how to feel about the guy. "It's made out of red obsidian" The masked figure spoke out as he reached out for Vinnys' hand. The cameraman flinched away when Rida attempted to grab his hand which was wrapped in a bandage, it was weird enough he just met the guy but the bird mask was quite intimidating.

Rida could tell Vinny was nervous and let out a sigh before taking off the mask. Enji was right about him having his face covered in scars, his hair was dark grey though what caught Vinnys' attention the most was his eyes, he had dark orange eyes. "My mask does tend to intimidate people...though so does my appearance" Rida spoke out. The cameraman looked at him before looking at the bird mask, "W-what bird is that?" he asked curiously, "Ah, it's a phoenix" The orange eyed figure spoke.

Enji was looking down at the two annoyed at the interaction, but he trusted Rida. Rida signalled for Vinny to give him his hand, the cameraman hesitated for a moment before giving it to him. The orange eyed figure picked up the blade and Vinny instantly froze, he was scared to move his hand knowing very well the two of them could kill him. Rida then carefully cut off the bandages and inspected the wounds, The orange eyed figure signalled for Enji to come sit next to him, he was hesitant but sat down, this made Vinny jump slightly he was much more scared of Enji at the moment.

"Fear and pain....are both powerful things...." Rida spoke out as he began cleaning the wound on the cameramans' hand. Enji and Vinny looked at him paying close attention, "Us humans tend to...use it against others....everyone fears something...anyone who says they don't is a fool and liar..." He continued, Vinny was really curious, he knew there was some truth behind those words. "People use pain...to force people into obeying, otherwise.....they'll get hurt" Rida added before squeezing Vinnys' hand tightly as he said the last part, this hurt Vinny and caused him to attempt to jerk his hand away.

"Tell someone what you fear....and it will be used against you and you will become nothing but a weapon and object to them" the orange eye figure added as he grabbed Vinnys' hand and began wrapping it with bandages. "We all fear something...so tell me...what do you fear?" Rida asked as his eyes glowed slightly. Vinny was uneasy, he didn't to answer him but he felt like he had to. "I can tell you are uneasy, I'll go first then you" Rida spoke out, Vinny hesitantly nodded.

"I fear...the ocean, being forgotten and loud noises..." Rida spoke calmly before looking over to Enji who seemed very curious as to why Rida was saying all this, Vinny was really curious about all this, he expected her to have fears but he didn't expect him to tell him. "Your turn..." Rida said calmly to Vinny, "I-I fear being trapped, being...left alone, being useless, h-hurting the one I l-love...l-losing the ones I l-love..." Vinnys' voiced broke slightly as he began thinking about Garmadon and how much he upset him.

Rida looked at him then at Enji, "You can go now..." Rida whispered to Enji who listened happily and left instantly. "Now then...that fight you got into with him was quite upsetting?" The orange eyed figure asked as he gently lifted up Vinnys' chin. The cameraman nodded, "I-I didn't mean t-to upset him, Enji s-said I can't tell anyone!" Vinny said as tears welled in his eyes. Rida nodded, "No one ever means to hurt the ones they love....and certainly not you, right?" Rida asked, Vinny nodded.

"Good...avoid them all..." Rida simply said, "W-what?" Vinny replied not knowing what he meant, "You need some space to breathe and think you also need to get some sleep because running on two hours of sleep isn't easy is it?" Rida responded quickly, "I-I....guess you're r-right..." Vinny responded, "Say...you have to go for work then just do what you want for the day" Rida added earning another nod from Vinny, "You both need some space from each other" The orange eyed figure spoke.

"Y-yea...you're right..." The cameraman responded as he looked at the ground, "Now then...this is yours then..." Rida said as he put the dagger in Vinnys' hand and closed it. "I'll see you some other time..." Rida said as he put the phoenix mask back on, "O-ok..." Vinny responded, he didn't know why but he trusted Rida so much he was much more tame and sane than Enji, why was Enji so obedient to him then. Rida nodded before standing up and disappeared into thin air.

Vinny looked at the blade and clenched it tightly, "O-okay...I do need some space from him...I'm just tired...never meant to upset him..." Vinny said to himself as he began thinking about Garmadon.
