A Fiery Lovestory (Red Son X Mk) Part 12

Sorry guys most likely no updates for a while I've been procrasinating on this stupid essay for a while

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 100

(I suggest you check out parts 1-99 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny bounced his leg anxiously as he brushed a hand through his hair, he looked back at Tenshi, who was still laying on the couch. It made the cameraman smile, it was nice Tenshi was free. He deserved it.

Though Vinny was torn out of his thoughts by Nyssa coming out, wearing a spare white shirt and shorts, she had her old clothes in her hands. “That was the best thing ever!” She spoke up, her eyes shone with happiness as he fixed her hair.

“Nice you enjoyed it” The cameraman chuckled, as he put a hold to his leg bouncing, he didn’t need anyone noticing that.

Vinny got up and went to the fridge pulling out three cold bottles of water, “Here you go” he said as he threw one to Tenshi, then one to Nyssa. “Figured we all need something refreshing” he chuckled as he opened a bottle and drank from it as he sat back down.

“Thanks…I forgot how much I enjoyed freedom” Nyssa whined as she slumped back down on the couch next to Tenshi, who was now sat up, and drinking water.

“Is it that good?” Tenshi questioned as he stretched.

“Even better!” Nyssa replied with a large smile as she drank water and looked over at Vinny, though her expression was somber. Was something wrong?

“You should go now” the cameraman spoke to Tenshi, who nodded as he got up. “You wanna deal with that?” He added as he pointed to Tenshis’ very unkept beard.

“I suppose so” Tenshi answered as he rubbed his chin.

“Should be a razor is the drawer” The cameraman answered, Tenshi nodded as he headed for the bathroom. “Take as long as you need! Once you’re out I’ll order us food!”

“Sounds good!” Tenshi called out as he shut the bathroom door.

“Food sounds amazing” Nyssa confessed as she melted back into the couch, she clearly was happy at the thought of different food.

“Makes sense! I can’t imagine surviving a week eating whatever food that was, how’d you last for 2 years? How did Tenshi last for 25 years?” Vinny laughed out as he unclasped his cloak and put it on the edge of the couch, before doing the same with his arm bracers.

“I don’t know either! But can you imagine how Tenshi looks without a beard?” She questioned with a laugh. “And what do I do with these?” Sen asked once more as she held up her old clothes.

“No idea! But probably better, than now” the cameraman answered as he walked over, “And I’ll go wash those” He added as he took her old clothes.

“Thanks” Nyssa sighed as she walked him go to a different room and came back empty handed.

“Wanna watch something?” Vinny questioned as he slumped back down on the couch next to her.

“Yes! I haven’t watched it in so long!” Nyssa answered almost immediately.

“Figured” the cameraman chuckled as he turned on the tv and went to a random channel.

Nyssa watched eagerly, she just seemed happy that she could do things she couldn’t while she was trapped.

Vinny sat there, watching in silence, his mind still consumed by overwhelming thoughts of what Rida was planning. His leg started bouncing again as he tapped his finger against the couch.

Rida was probably looking for them. He was probably always watching. They weren’t safe. Not here. Not anywhere. Though Rida probably didn’t know where they went. But he knew where Vinny would go.

The cameraman was stressed, tired and hungry. He was gonna go to the monastery tomorrow and hope the others were back. Then if they could, he would find a way to the kingdom. He had to talk to Deity. Vinny buried his face in his hands and groaned.

Someone had to know why Rida was trapping people, it couldn’t just be some sick source of entertainment. Deity probably knew the most, or maybe Enji? Speaking of Enji, did he know about this? Was he sort of this? Was-

Vinny let out a squeak as he felt a hand on his shoulder. “You okay?” Nyssa questioned softly, her face painted with worry as she stared at him.

“Y-yea, why do ask?” The cameraman answered with a soft smile, as he sat up straight and stilled his leg.

“Seriously?” Nyssa chuckled, “It’s obvious, what’s on your mind?” She questioned as she put a hand on his back.

“Do you know a guy named Enji?” The cameraman asked, he had to know if Enji played some in this.

“Enji? Never heard of him, why?” Nyssa answered.

“He works with Rida…I just don’t know if he’s involved with us being trapped” Vinny spoke with a soft sighed as he anxiously brushed a hand through his hair.

“Weird, never heard of him” Nyssa said, “We can ask Tenshi, he knows a lot”

“Alright…” the cameraman whispered as he leaned back against the couch.

“Hey, c’mon…relax a little, I know you’re worried” Nyssa whispered, “But loosen up, you need a break…and you deserve a break…” she added softly.

“You sound like Tenshi…” Vinny painfully chuckled as he rubbed his eyes, he had very obvious eye bags. “I’m gonna order food now…get it in time for when Tenshi finishes…any requests?”

“Uhhh…chicken! And sushi!” Nyssa answered with a large smile, the cameraman smiled softly and nodded before getting up and going to the landline. Every house had a landline at this point, with all the problems, it was safer this way.

“I need to get a new phone” Vinny whispered to himself, it was just then he realised he lost his phone ages ago.

“What’s up?” Nyssa questioned, hearing his mumbling.

“Nothing, just trying to remember something…also, what do you think about getting a phone?” The cameraman asked her, hearing tried his best to not sound like he was asking a teenager if they wanted a phone, but it didn’t work.

“Not now, we both have more issues than phones at this time and I think with whatever Rida might be planning, it might break before I get to properly use it” Nyssa laughed out as she fixed her hair.

Vinny just nodded before going back to the landline, he ordered the food, but didn’t sit on the couch and just went back to sit on the chair near the kitchen counter.

The cameraman grabbed a paper and pen from a rack of books. He began writing names, Deity, Willow and Shancai friends. Rida, enemy. Enji, enemy? Friend? None.

The bathroom door opened as Tenshi came out, same outfit as Nyssa, white shirt and shorts. A clean shaven face and long, curly, untangled hair.

“Oh wow! Someone’s looking fresh!” Nyssa laughed out, it was true. Tenshi suddenly didn’t look like he’s been trapped for 25 years.

“She’s right, you don’t look like a trapped homeless man” The cameraman laughed out, as Tenshi walked over and sat on the couch.

“Well I no longer feel like it either” Tenshi chuckled softly as he brushed a hand through his hair. “And you were right, that was the best thing ever” he added as he looked at Nyssa.

“I told you!” Nyssa said happily as she looked back at Vinny. “I will never be able to thank you enough”

“Like I said, it’s fine” the cameraman answered, “You both deserved freedom and that place was hell”

“Fine my ass” Tenshi joked as he playfully rolled his eyes, he was so much more livelier than when he was trapped.

“Vinny ordered food” Nyssa told Tenshi, who just nodded. “I can’t wait to eat! I never want to taste that food again, also because you were gonna starve yourself instead of eat it” she added as she looked at Vinny with as teasing smile.

“It was disgusting!” The cameraman whined.

“Yes it was…” Tenshi sighed out.

“You should go shower” Nyssa told Vinny.

“Later, after we eat” The cameraman answered with a weak smile, his body ached. He had no energy to move. Yet he couldn’t sleep even if he wanted to. Fearful thoughts of what Rida could be planning, plagued his mind and tormented him.

“You sure? I’m sure if the food comes we can get it” Tenshi joked softly.

“Yep” Vinny answered with a soft nod.

“Alright then! We’ll make sure you do it later” Nyssa said as she stretched back and stared back at the tv.

The cameraman smiled to himself softly as he watched Tenshi look at the tv as well, this was nice.

“Hey, Tenshi…Vinny said that there was this guy named Enji that worked with Rida” Nyssa spoke up, “You heard of him before?” She continued, as Tenshi looked at her.

“Enji…no, never heard of him” Tenshi answered as he thought, “As far as I knew Rida worked alone”

“I was thinking that too…never heard of Rida working with some” Nyssa said, “How’d you find about him?” She asked Vinny.

“He stabbed my hand and foot” The cameraman answered bluntly, “Also met Enji before Rida…Enji is like a pawn”

“Strange…” Tenshi whispered, “He and Rida, are they acquaintances?”

“Friends from what I’ve seen” Vinny answered.

“Well now we have more than one problem…” Nyssa sighed out, “but as we said before that’ll be a tomorrow problem” she chuckled.

“Agreed” Tenshi and Vinny spoke in unison as they both nodded. Then there was silence as the three sat there.

Time went by quickly as there was a ring from the door, all three of them perked up as Vinny got up and opened the door. Nyssa and Tenshi watched like happy puppies, eyes shining as they stared at the door.

The cameraman shut the door quickly and held two bags. “That smells good” Nyssa whined as she melted into the couch.

“Sure does” Vinny chuckled as she sat on the couch and put the food on the table in front of them.

The cameraman took the food out and smiled to himself when he could feel Tenshi and Nyssa patiently waiting happily. “C’mon you two, I’m not stopping you…eat” Vinny laughed as he leaned back into the couch.

Nyssa listened first and took a bite of a burger, “Fuckkk…I never wanna be trapped again” she sighed out in relief as she savoured the food.

“I don’t think you wanted to be trapped to begin with” Vinny teased, causing Nysaa to playfully nudge him. The cameraman just laughed out before it faded when he saw Tenshi sitting there, unmoving, just staring at the food. “C’mon eat…you deserve it” Vinny whispered as he handed a burger to Tenshi.

Tenshi just blinked before taking a bite of the burger, he melted into the couch. “I am killing Rida for trapping me…” Tenshi muttered as he stuffed his face with the burger.

Nyssa and Vinny laughed together as they both continued eating. The three made jokes and happily ate, “I swear I’m gonna start crying…” Nyssa laughed as she rubbed tears of happiness from her eyes.

“If you cry I’ll cry” the cameraman said with a soft smile, “And I was there for like three days”

“Three days…compared to 2 years…and then to 25…” Nyssa whispered as she leaned back, throwing her head against the couch. “Wow…how’d you handle…?” She asked Tenshi.

Tenshi sat there for a while, before lowering his head, his semi wet hair falling down and covering his face.

“Hard at first…killing was terrible” he began as Vinny and Nyssa listened intently. “Though…you realise emotions were useless there, sympathy and mercy weren’t getting you anywhere…”

“Well…i guess it worked in the long run…” the cameraman whispered.

“Yea…but hey! Sympathy is good! It got us all out of there!” Nyssa spoke u with a large smile, Tenshi smiled sombrely as he leaned into the hug he and Vinny were pulled into.

“Let’s finish eating…” the cameraman sighed softly, the two nodded as they all continued eating.

Awhile later they all finished eating and Vinny was back sitting near the kitchen countertop, he didn’t seem to like siting on the couch. The cameraman was once again absorbed in his overwhelming thoughts as he buried his face in his hands once again.

He had to tell Garmadon about this. When he made it back to everyone there was no way he could keep this a secret! What excuse could he come up with for disappearing for three days? He just went on a walk? Oh fuck no…he had to tell them…

Would Garmadon take it well…? Would he be upset at not being told sooner? Maybe Vinny could have Nyssa and Tenshi explain while Wu and Jay explain what they know so far? Maybe if they make if back to the Ivory Kingdom Shancai, Willow and Deity could help?

Fuck…this was so difficult. He wanted to tell them. He really did. But it seemed like his voice was just sucked out of him. The words were always stuck in his throat. Asking for help was hard…it shouldn’t be this hard, but it was.

“You should go shower now…” Tenshi whispered from the couch as he turned around to look back at Vinny, the cameraman blinked for a moment before his expression softened as he recognised Nysaas’ sleeping form on the couch.

“Later…” Vinny muttered out.

“No…now” Tenshi repeated, “You deserve it the most…and plus Nyssa said she was gonna get you to shower one way of another…” he chuckled quietly, causing Vinny to smile before giving in as he got up.

“Alright…don’t burn the place…” the cameraman quietly joked as he entered the bathroom, he could feel Tenshis’ worried eye staring him down. Was he anxiousness that obvious?

Vinny let out a sigh as he stared at the mirror, he looked terrible. Dirt covered his cheeks, more prominent eye bags and an expression that read he looked like he was in hell.

The cameraman rubbed a hand down his face, no wonder Nyssa was staring at him like that before…Tenshi probably was as well, he just hadn’t noticed. “Shit…” he muttered to himself as he rubbed a finger against a scab on his cheek, with dried blood around it.

He let out another sigh before pulling his shirt over his head and throwing it to the side. His muscles ached. His body dirty. Did Nyssa and Tenshi feel like this too? He would ask…he wanted them to be comfortable. Wanted them happy…

Vinny stripped the rest of his clothing before entering the shower and turning the knobs. Water fell down his aching body. Somewhat soothing him. He enjoyed being here. It wasn’t as nice as the monastery or kingdom, but it was familiar. And the familiar place was comforting.

The cameraman yawned as he rubbed his head with shampoo. Nyssa and Tenshis’ shower must’ve been heavenly. He washed his hair out and went to scrub him body. And gods it felt good. Just from the water alone he felt a hundred times cleaner.

“Fuck…” he groaned as he splashed his face with water, his eyes stung. Not from anything this particular, they just burned. They were blurry ears tears streamed down his face. He didn’t know why he was crying. Pathetic…couldn’t even last 3 days in there…

His eyes were drawn to his hand, a faint scar from when Enji stabbed him. Faint pain lingered. Pained memories. He put a hand out in front of him to steady himself as his legs trembled beneath him. He felt dizzy. Why? No idea. Exhaustion was catching up to him quickly.

Vinny clutched his head and slid down the shower wall till he was sat on the ground. Dried blood from his body dripped down alongside the water. Slowly cleaning him. He needed to finish here. Before Tenshi came and grew suspicious.

Slowly but surely he got up and finished washing himself. Once he exited the shower he stared at himself in the mirror. He hated mirrors. It reminded him of Enji. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He eventually dried himself and threw on some clothes. And staring at the mirror once more.

Staring at a mirror felt like Enji was mocking him. Silently laughing. His breathing quickened as he clenched his fists tighter, shutting his eyes tightly. All he could hear was Enjis’ mocking laughter. It was sickening, thought…there was Ridas’ voice there as well….

He hated it. He hated it. He hated it. It was suffocating. He hated being mocked. He covered his ears. Tears pricked in the corner of his eyes. The noise was killing him. His ears rung. He bit his lip before there was a sickening crash as his hand met with the mirror, causing it to shatter into pieces.

Vinny blinked, his tears coming to a halt as he stared at the shatter mirror. Then at his fist…glass shards had embedded themselves in there. Soft stinging pain. Though it felt numb.

The cameraman stayed quiet before his legs gave out and he dropped to the ground. He didn’t cry. Didn’t speak. Just sat there. Hands dropped by his side. He felt numb.

He was drawn out of his thoughts by a knock at the door. “Vinny…?” A soft voice called out, Tenshi.

Vinny wanted to answer, but he couldn’t. His voice got stuck in his throat. He couldn’t get up either. He couldn’t feel his body. There was another knock and Tenshi calling out again.

Tears slowly fell down his face, a blank expression. Just tears. Of pain? Of sadness? He didn’t know. He didn’t know. He didn’t know.

He could hear another voice from outside the door, probably Nyssa. He woke her up, how selfish of him. All because he couldn’t get up. All because he let his emotions gets the better of him. Pathetic. This was pathetic. He was pathetic.

There was banging on the door. They were trying to get in. It would be easier if he just got up and opened it. But he couldn’t. Or could he? Did he want to open? Was he lying to himself? Did he even want to see them? He didn’t know. He didn’t know anything anymore!

The door swung opened as a worried Nyssa and Tenshi stood there. Nyssa immediately crouched down next to Vinny and held his hand. “What happened?” She asked worriedly.

Vinny stayed quiet, he didn’t know what happened. “Stay with him, I’m sure there’s bandages somewhere in here” Tenshi said as he left the bathroom.

Nyssa pulled Vinny into a hug and comforted him. “It’s okay…you’re gonna be okay…” she whispered as he rubbed her finger against his bloody knuckles.

He should’ve felt pain…but he didn’t. It was numb. Everything was numb! He wanted to feel something. Anything! Pain! He wanted to feel pain!

Tenshi came back sooner than expected with a little bag. “Found some” he said as he sat on the ground and gently took Vinnys’ hand.

He didn’t flinch when he felt alcohol wiped on his cut knuckles. It didn’t hurt. Nyssa and Tenshi seemed to have noticed this as they exchanged looks.

Eventually Vinny ended up with bandages around his knuckles. Not a word came out of him as he was helped off the ground and out of the bathroom onto the couch.

“Drink…” Nyssa whispered as she handed him some water, he slowly took it and drank it. His lips were dry and chapped, yet the water soothed it.

“Sleep…” Tenshi said softly, his expression was pitiful. Vinny hated being this weak. He watched to curl up in a ball and die. But they were right, he was exhausted. And eventually leaned back into the couch, before his eyes drooped shut as exhaustion overtook him and his blacked out. No feeling at all…

What a strange day…

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon) Part 97

(I suggest you check out parts 1-96 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Deity)

Deity paced around her bedroom. It had been 2 days since Vinny went missing and safe to say everyone was worried out of their minds. Shancais’ reaction to coming back from patrol and finding out he was missing was as expected, he was worried and immediately offered to go back and see if the cameraman was in the kingdom.

Willows’ reaction however was more than she anticipated, “He’s what?!”. Those words rung in Deitys’ head, they were all worried. She hated this. She wanted him to be safe. Enji didn’t seem to know where Vinny was. Perhaps Rida did? It’s not like she could ask him, Rida despised her.

She let out an exasperated sigh and she fell to her knees and rested her head on the windowsill. She was tired. But she couldn’t sleep. Not now. Vinnys’ disappearance was all too similar to her husbands’ and it ached her heart.

Perhaps if she sent the ninja back to their city and have them check around there? There was a chance Vinny somehow could’ve accidentally found a way back to Ninjago. It was smart, she could be in contact with them and they could have regular updates with the travellers tea.

Deity was snapped out of her thoughts by a soft knock at her door, “Come in!” She called out tiredly as she stood up and dusted off her clothes. The door opened and her expression softened, Garmadon. She knew the pain of losing a lover like this and could feel the pain his soul bared.

“Is everything alright?” Deity spoke up softly as she rubbed her temples, staring out the window.

“Where could he have gone?” The oni asked, his voice quiet as he shut the door and walked over to her.

“I am…unsure” Deity confessed, “However, there is a chance that the way you all ended up here might’ve sent him back somehow” she added, trying to ease Garmadons’ worries.

“Where would he be? Back in Ninjago? Or could it have possibly sent him to another realm” Garmadon sighed, he was definitely overthinking this.

“Most likely Ninjago…” Deity spoke, “Also I’m able to send you all back there now…it would be better if you all look around your city while we search around here for clues”

“I suppose that would work best” The oni sighed, unable to hide the worry that tainted with his voice.

“We’ll find him…” She spoke, attempting to comfort him.

“I hope” Garmadon whispered, “Would it do well for us all to leave now?”

“If you wish to search longer, it would be more convenient to leave now” Deity answered with a soft smile.

“Very well…I’ll go see my brother” Garmadon spoke, as he gave her a soft nod before leaving. Deity watched him leave and let out a sigh, best she prepare the travellers tea.

Garmadon walked down the halls, expecting to find his brother in the library of the palace. The palace did have some peculiar scrolls. As the oni entered the library he found Wu seated, engrossed in a scroll. “Brother? Is everything alright?” Wu asked as he looked up.

“We can leave the kingdom…Deity said there’s a chance that the way we got here might’ve taken Vinny back to Ninjago” Garmadon explained. “Though we’ll remain in contact with them”

“I suppose it’s best we leave, I’ll go and tell the ninja” Wu answered as he put a scroll back before getting up. The oni nodded at his brother and watched him walk off. Garmadon walked a separate way, not to his room, but to Vinnys’ room. Maybe there was something he could find.

Garmadons’ hands landed on the doorknob, he had checked here before, countless of times, hoping there would be some hint as to where Vinny was. As the oni gently opened the door with a creak, he let out a shaky sigh. The room was dark as expected, the lights were always off.

The oni began looking around, there had to be something, anything! It was the same result as the other 10 visits over the past 2 days. Nothing. All of this was useless. Vinny just vanished into thin air!

Garmadon groaned in annoyance as he rubbed his temples, clenching his fists as he punched the wall, a purple flame forming around him. He let out a sigh as he control himself, anger wasn’t the best at the moment and destroying the palace wouldn’t help either.

He should’ve pressed on with Vinny, maybe, just maybe then would he have some hint as to where he went. But no…this is what he gets for respected peoples’ choices.

The oni rubbed his temples before sitting on the bed and resting his head in his hands. He was gonna find Vinny. He kept telling himself that. He didn’t know what he would do if something bad happened to Vinny. What if he was k-

Garmadon shook his head, he really shouldn’t be thinking about that. Vinny was alive and they were going to find him. He repeated that in his head as he fidgeted with his hands. He was snapped out of his thoughts by clattering from the bathroom.

The onis’ eyes widened as he quietly stood up and walked towards the bathroom, there was a chance it was Vinny. And a chance it being some random stranger. Garmadon hesitantly peeked in and saw a man going through the drawers. He recognised this man as the one the ninja had to fight in the catacombs.

The oni snarled as he slammed the door opened and grabbed the man by the collar, and pinning him to the wall. A wince of pain was heard from the man, he was clearly caught off guard. “A-asshole!” The man hissed out as he rubbed the back of his head.

“What did you do with him?” Garmadon growled, he was fully ready to gut the man right there and then.

“Do with who!?” The man hissed as he tried escaping Garmadons’ grasp.

“Don’t play dumb” The oni snarled, the man paused for a minute trying to think.

“Ohhhh!” The man eventually spoke up, “Your little boyfriend? I don’t have anything to do with him!” He laughed out.

Garmadon growled in annoyance, he was so close to digging his claws into this mans’ throat and tearing out his esophagus. However he didn’t have the chance as he heard someone behind him. He turned his head slightly and saw the prince.

Shancai was shocked when he saw this sight, Enji, his lov- I mean enemy was here and judging by the sight Garmadon was about to kill him. “What’re doing here?” The prince spoke as he walked over to the two, silently coercing the oni to release him.

“I left my chain here” Enji grumbled as he dusted himself off when he was released. “And I swear on my life I have nothing to do with his disappearance!”

“How can we trust you?” Garmadon snarled, resisting the urge to lunge at him. “And how do you two know each other?”

“Enemies” Shancai explained.

“Enemies? I’m hurt Shanni!” Enji sighed out dramatically, causing the prince to roll his eyes.

“Don’t care and he’s right…how can we trust you?” Shancai repeated Garmadons’ question.

“Shanni you know me! I don’t stoop as low as to kidnap someone like that” Enji sighed out.

“Why were you up in Ninjago?” Garmadon asked.

“Pretty obvious, had to get something. Enough questions though! I mean it, I don’t have anything to do with his disappearance but…” Enjis’ words trailed off as he fidgeted with his hair.

“But?” Garmadon snarled clearly wanting an answer.

“I’m not sure about Rida…I’m friends with him, but he won’t tell me everything…” Enji sighed out, receiving a confused look from the oni and a nod from the prince.

“And! This won’t be the last time we’re meeting!” Enji laughed out to Garmadon, before running back into the bedroom and jumping out the window. Garmadon and Shancai followed him and stared out the window. Enji was gone. Shancai knew why of course, enchanted mirror. Garmadon though was really fucking confused.

“Who’s he?” The oni asked the prince.

“Enji…and enemy of the kingdom, insufferable…but not heartless” Shancai answered as he stared out the window, “He speaks the truth…he wouldn’t go out of his way to kidnap someone like that”

“And the other person he mentioned?” Garmadon asked once more.

“Rida, he’s…more likely to do something like that” The prince sighed, “He’s heartless…he enjoys making his prey suffer…”

Garmadon let out an exasperated sigh, “I can deal with them some other time…I need to get back to the city and find Vinny…” he spoke up, receiving a nod from the prince.

“My mother is ready for that and so are your friends” Shancai spoke, the oni nodded in response and the two began making their way. But not before Garmadon took one last glance at the room.

“I do believe we’ll find him…and hardly injured” Shancai spoke as they walked down the halls. “He’s smart, he’ll find a way to get back”

“I know…one the day he disappeared, I saw you two training for a bit” Garmadon began, he wanted to ask about the hallucinations Vinny had before that caused him to attack Shancai. The prince seemed to see where this question was going as he let out a sigh.

“Hallucinations were what we thought at the time…however it was Enji” Shancai spoke, causing Garmadon to look at him in shock, “Enji’s the elemental master of illusion…he used it for the worse, sometimes the better though”

Garmadon remained quiet, on the day where Enji attacked the ninja in the catacombs, Vinny had been the one to suggest that Enjis’ powers were like an illusion. Did Vinny know this man? Was Enji the cause for all these problems?

“We’re here” the prince spoke up, snapping the oni from his thoughts as he entered Deitys’ room. As expect all the ninja were there and so were Willow, who had wanted to say goodbye too and Deity obviously.

“So we’re remaining in contact to find him?” Lloyd spoke to Deity, who nodded in response.

“That’s good…” Nya sighed.

“We’ll find him, I’m sure of it” Deity spoke as he allowed the steam of the travellers tea to float in the air to make a portal.

“Well whoever took him I’m gonna kill them” Willow spoke with a smile as she hugged Nya, they had bonded over making fun of that picture with Shancai and Vinny were sleeping and wearing makeup, more so in a sibling way obviously.

Garmadon remained quiet, he didn’t know what to say. He was worried, angry, and sad…he hated it. He should’ve protected Vinny more. He couldn’t remember anything else that had happened there, he didn’t want to remember. They were back in Ninjago, thankfully in the monastery.

“Home!” Kai sighed out in slight relief as he rushed to his bedroom, Jay and Cole following close behind as they went to their own rooms. Pixal and Zane went their own way though, leaving Lloyd, Wu and Garmadon outside.

“Da-“ Lloyd began but was cut off.

“I’m gonna rest” Garmadon spoke as he just walked off inside, Lloyd wanted to go after him, but Wu held him back.

“He needs to be alone” Wu sighed to his nephew softly, Lloyd nodded softly letting out a sigh.

Garmadon entered his room, not the room that he had when he was giving Vinny space, but the room that they first shared together when they first came here. He felt so much closer to Vinny, he missed him.

The oni crashed onto the bed, letting out an annoyed groan. He wanted to destroy something, but chose against it and laid on the bed for a while before he eventually passed out.

Where could you be Vinny…?

Overwhelmed (Vinny x Garmadon Part 3)

(you should check out part 1 and 2 if you haven’t already)

Vinny stared at Garmadon trying to think how to explain the situation to him. This didn't go unnoticed though, “Take your time I can wait” the larger spoke. The smaller looked down before he shoved his face into Garmadons’ chest and whimpered out in a small voice ,“g-god Garm, why must you be so p-persistent….”. This caused the larger to let out a sigh and place his hand on Vinnys’ head.

Vinny looked up from the larger not expecting him to do this. Garmadon then began gently stroking Vinnys’ head in this comforting way. “Vinny…please I want to help, I can’t stand seeing you like this…”the larger said. “I-it’s just t-that….at work Gayle told me I had to come in on Sunday which is usually my free d-day, a-and t-t-then…..”Vinny whimpered out slowly beginning to panic at the thought of everything, Garmadon easily noticed this as the smaller began hyperventilating.

“A-and I still have l-like 5 f-fucking essays I n-need to write…I-I…l…”the smaller was going to continue talking, but at that point he had tears flowing down his face while breathing extremely heavily and quickly causing Garmadon to worry quite a lot.

The larger grabbed that smallers’ hand then quickly summoned his other two hand the cupped the smallers’ face, “Shh…calm down look at me and breathe….”the larger assured the smaller.

Vinnys’ hands were shaking rapidly. “It’s alright, it’s fine” Garmadon reassured Vinny as his breathing began to slow down.Vinny then rested his head on Garmadons’ shoulder and began quietly sobbing, “I-it’s just g-gets so o-overwhelming Garm…I don’t know what t-to do…”He whimpered out.

Garmadon let out a sigh and started stroking the smallers’ head again. “I know, I know…you have a tough job you need a break”The larger said grabbing the smallers’ hand and gently kissing it all over.

Vinny turned this bright red, but Garamond couldn’t see as his head was resting on Garmadons’ shoulder. “You should’ve told me sooner that’s too much stress for you to hide, I’ll always listen to you, alright?”Garmadon said, his voice was so calm and comforting Vinny loved it.

“A-alright..”Vinny replied. Garmadon gently grabbed Vinnys’ face off his shoulder and cupped them again because he like doing it. Vinnys’ eyes were a little puffy from crying. Garmadons’ eyes trailed from Vinnys’ eyes down to his lips. The Oni warlord felt his heart flutter at the thought of kissing the smaller“You’re beautiful, you know that…” Garmadon spoke out. He stared at Vinny who then turned this bright red. “I-I am..?”he stuttered out surprisingly.

“Yea…you’re so beautiful and….I-I….”Garmadon couldn’t finish that sentence he just couldn’t, he really did love Vinny, but he had no idea whether that feeling was mutual at all. Everything would be awkward if it wasn’t mutual. “You what..?”Vinny asked curiously.

“I-I…”Garmadon wasn’t gonna say he loved him he then grabbed Vinnys’ face and pulled him into a kiss. Vinnys’ eyes widened and soon he fell into the kiss. It was a passionate kiss and they both felt their hearts skip a beat, but they had to part for air.

Vinny was breathing heavily trying to catch his breathe while Garmadon was sitting there trying to comprehend if Vinny liked it or not. “H-holy shit…w-wow i…don’t know what to say w-what was that f-for…?” Vinny stuttered out truely embarrassed at the fact the dark lord just kissed him.

“I thought it was pretty obvious…”Garmadon held Vinnys’ hand “I love you Vinny Folson..”Garmadon spoke. Vinny turned an even brighter red. “W-wait… you’re not l-lying right?”Vinny stuttered out. “We did just kiss..” Garmadon replied “W-well If that’s the case then…I love you too…”Vinny said looking away embarrassingly.

“What does this mean for us then..?”Garmadon asked. Vinny stared at him for a moment. “Well…what do you want it mean..?”Vinny replied. “ I guess…. I wanna be with you..”Garmadon said. Vinny let out a chuckle. “So boyfriends then?”Vinny asked embarrassingly “Yea…dating..”Garmadon said.

Vinny smiled then gave Garmadon a soft kiss on his mouth. Garmadon blushed, he was caught off guard. “You shouldn’t go to work next week..”Garmadon said. “A-are you s-sure?”Vinny stuttered. “You need a break and plus I wanna hang out with you…”Garmadon replied. “Alright, if you say so”Vinny chuckled.

“I love you so much…I always have…”Garmadon said nuzzling Vinnys’ neck. “I love you too you oversized cat…”Vinny giggled out. “Oversized cat…?”Garmadon said out curiously. “You remind of a cat you seem dangerous but when someone gets to know you you’re an absolute sweetheart, and plus you purr and when I scratch under your chin so you’re like a lion”

“I guess that makes you my lioness~”Garmadon said out in a teasing tone. Vinny blushed then laughed out, “I guess you’re right”. It was quiet for a moment, “You should sleep”Garmadon said. “Yea I should, let’s snuggle!”Vinny joyfully spoke. “Sure” the larger replied. The two got comfortable the fell asleep snuggling eachother.

(Holy shit that love confession was terrible but so good)( fuck that was so funny nah bro I love at how terrible this is yet I love it so much)

(Should I continue this I was planning on making a small story but it gets a few views that like it so should I??)

(I’m free to ideas and story suggestions)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 88

(I suggest you check out parts 1-87 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The four entered this room, one in there Shancai shut the door and locked it. They weren’t taking risks of being found. There were seats placed, two next to each other and two in front. The cameraman and the prince sat next to each other while Wu and Jay sat next to each other.

“Ask your questions” Vinny sighed out as he leaned back into the chair. He couldn’t care less about Enji at the moment, he was too tired to deal with him.

“That guy, what’s his name? And how long have you known him?” Jay asked curiously.

“His name’s Enji” the cameraman answered as Wu and Jay listened intently. “I’ve known him for a week or so? Longer than you that’s for sure” he added.

“You’re not working with him?” Wu asked, he clearly didn’t believe his question either, he just had to hear Vinny confirm it.

“Never” Vinny answered.

“Who knows about him?” The lightning ninja questioned.

“Me, my sister and mother” Shancai spoke, receiving a nod from the others.

“That’s because he’s an enemy of the kingdom” Vinny added, clarifying it more.

“How’d you two meet?” Wu questioned, the cameraman let out a painful chuckle.

“Remember that guy I told you about? The random hallucination one?” Vinny asked.

“Yes?” Wu spoke, while Jay looked confused. Wu seemed to be realising where this was going.

“Yes it was him…and he’s made my life a living hell” the cameraman grumbled as he looked at the ground.

“Didn’t you say he-?” Wu was cut off.

“Yea I did…he was threatening everyone, I didn’t know what the ruck to do. Hell I almost told Garmadon about him once, but Enji fucking threatened him too!” Vinny laughed out, though it was clearly forced and the memories were painful.

“Breath…” Shancai spoke to the cameraman softly as he placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“Oh right! You and Garmadon are fucking dating?!” Jay suddenly asked, causing Vinnys’ cheeks to grow bright red.

“Yes…” he answered embarrassingly, “We’re on a little break though…” he sighed out, Jays’ mind turned off as he tried processing this.

“So Enji’s the reason you’re like this?” Wu asked, receiving a nod from the cameraman. “Do you know anything about him?”

“Yea…remember when you came back from the mission and I said his powers were like illusions?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod. “That’s cause he’s the elemental master of illusion” he spoke.

“Seriously?” Jay asked, “Anything else he can do?”

“He knows some magic, sometimes when he creates illusions he can turn some into actual objects” Shancai spoke, “And he works with someone named Rida”

“Is Rida worse?” Wu asked.

“It’s…complicated…” Shancai spoke, causing them to see what Vinny would say.

“Very complicated…” The cameraman sighed, as he pulled his dagger from his pocket, “This dagger was Enjis’, but Rida gave it to me for some reason…and so far Rida’s been kinder to be than Enji, but I can’t trust him, he’s unsettling” Vinny spoke.

“Tell them about the key…” Shancai muttered to the cameraman, causing him to tense.

“What key?” Jay asked.

“The key you got back from the mission that disappeared” Wu sighed to Jay, understanding what it meant.

“I…may have helped Enji get it…” Vinny quietly confessed as quilt crawled up his back.

“What?!” Jay spoke as his eyes widened.

“Not by choice! He came to me at like 2am in the fucking morning and looked like if I didn’t do it he would kill someone” The cameraman spoke.

“What’s the significance of it?” Wu questioned, as he nodded in understanding, he understood why Vinny would do such a thing.

“Not sure” the cameraman lied, Deity told him the significance and told him to keep it a secret so he was.

“Me neither” Shancai spoke as he sighed.

“Has Enji hurt you?” Wu asked.

“He stabbed my hand and foot” Vinny spoke bluntly as he held up his hand which had stitches, “So I thankfully had Zane and Pixal stitch it up, i think it was a few days after, but I didn’t want it get infected” He added.

“So the other day, back at the monastery, when you were eating and you just yelled for no reason was it because of Enji?” Jay asked.

“Yea…” the cameraman chuckled painfully, “He’s an asshole I know…” he sighed.

“The person he works with, Rida, is he one we should be wary of?” Wu asked.

“Not sure…Enji listens to Rida and respects him, so I think yes…” Vinny answered.

“Definitely…Rids tends to be the brains of the two, Enji’s smart, but he’s sent out to do plans” Shancai spoke.

“Does Rida have powers?” Jay asked.

“Dark magic or well the dark arts” Shancai spoke, “He’s well in it as well” he added. Wu and Jays’ eyes widened.

“I thought he did normal magic” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince.

“Rarely, there are things you can only do in those, so he tends to lead into the more destructive path” Shancai answered.

“That’s not good, how long has he been after your kingdom?” Wu asked.

“Perhaps seven years?” The prince spoke.

“Doesn’t Garmadon know more about magic? Maybe he knows counters and stuff?” Jay asked.

“Perhaps, though my brother most likely distanced himself from those things” Wu answered.

“He has…but he still knows stuff” Vinny spoke up, “I asked him about all that stuff” the cameraman continued.

“He answered you?” Wu asked.

“At first he was a bit hesitant, but he eventually didn’t mind telling me about it…he told me all about that stuff, elementals, powers and magic, he definitely knows about it” Vinny answered.

“Perhaps I can ask him?” Wu spoke, receiving a nod from the others.

“Quick question…how does Enji get around, one moment he’s here the next he isn’t” Jay questioned.

“An enchanted mirror, it’s a small shard that teleports him placed, mostly places with a mirror, though sometimes it can take you other places” Shancai explained. “In your case, you were dropped for the sky by one”

“Shanni they don’t know how we got here…” Vinny sighed, he still felt guilty about bringing everyone here.

“You know how we got here?” Jay asked.

“Yes…sort of my fault too…” the cameraman awkwardly spoke.

“Not your fault” Shancai spoke, as he looked at Vinny, not liking him blaming himself.

“Anyways!” Vinny spoke, “I had this fucked up enchanted mirror shard then we dropped from the sky” he sighed out.

“This is all so strange” Wu spoke.

“Trust me…I know” The cameraman chuckled.

“You can’t keep these secrets” Wu sighed, while Jay nodded.

“I know…” Vinny spoke, “It’s just hard…he threatens everyone and sometimes I know he’ll act on those words…”

“We won’t tell the others?” Jay asked.

“Please don’t…” The cameraman begged, receiving nods from Jay and Wu.

“Best we be off then…the others might get suspicious” Wu spoke as he got up.

“Yea…” Vinny spoke, as he watched them go to the door, he relaxed more into the chair.

“If anything else happens tell us” Wu spoke, receiving a nod from the two as they both walked out. Shancai and Vinny were left alone in the room.

“That went way better than I anticipated” the prince spoke up.

“I know” the cameraman laughed out in relief. “That could’ve went so wrong in so many ways” he sighed out.

“I told you, you’re friends are understanding” Shancai spoke as he patted Vinnys’ back.

“I know…I was just overthinking” the cameraman sighed, as he stretched. “Should we go back and train?”

“If you want to” the prince answered, Vinny happily nodded so they both stood up and began making their way back out. They could only hope nothing else happened…

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 91

(I suggest you check out parts 1-90 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny let out a sigh as he walked down the halls, he didn’t know exactly where Deity could be, but he assumed she was in her room as usual. The cameraman figured he should tell her about Rida at least, she was already kept in the dark a little about Enji, he also figured he should tell her about Wu and Jay finding out about all this.

He began humming to himself, it was subconscious and he was a little happy at stabbing Rida. Vinny knew there was something off about him, he was too kind and in what place is the kingdoms’ energy something that should’ve been his. It annoyed the cameraman and he began thinking, maybe Enji isn’t as bad as he thought.

Well Enji wasn’t that bad to Shancai, he clearly cared about this prince and as Rida said, Enji often kept secrets about this which was kind of sweet.

The cameraman was snapped out of his thoughts, he felt like he was being followed. He couldn’t get a break, could he? Vinny subconsciously slipped his hand in his pocket, resting it on the dagger, prepared to defend himself in case.

The cameraman acted clueless as to whoever was followed him, so when he turned a corner he stayed there for a moment waiting for the person following him to come by. When the person came by Vinny immediately slammed them against the wall, slicing their cheek slightly, earning a soft wince.

It was a thing he did, he would just cause a little cut to someone as a warning. The cameramans’ eyes widened in shock as he let out a small squeak when he saw the person…Garmadon…

“F-fuck! I am so sorry” Vinny instantly apologised as he put the dagger back in his pocket and looked at the oni with worry.

“It’s fine, it’ll heal easily” Garmadon answered as he rubbed away the purple liquid that dripped down his cheek.

“I didn’t mean to, I just felt like someone was following me and I didn’t realise it was him” the cameraman spoke, it was clear he was feeling guilty.

“I’m fine I swear” the oni sighed out, trying to soothe Vinnys’ worries. “Where are you off too?” He asked, trying to change the subject.

“I’m gonna hang out with Deity for a while if she lets I have somethings to ask her” the cameraman answered as he looked at the ground. There was a silence for a few seconds, “Wait why were you following me?” He suddenly spoke up, feeling very confused as he cocked his head.

“I uh…” Garmadon didn’t have an answer for that question as he tried making an excuse. “Why not?” He answered awkwardly.

“Seriously?” Vinny sighed out as he rubbed his temples.

“Just wanted to check on you” the oni spoke, causing the cameramans’ expression to soften as he felt a hand rest on his cheek. “Are you doing well?”

“Yea…Shancai’s teaching me how to fight” Vinny answered with a smile as he subconsciously leaned into Garmadons’ touch.

“I know…” the oni accidentally spoke, causing the cameraman to look at him in confusion. “I may have seen some…and that’s partly why I’m following you…” he reluctantly confessed.

Vinnys’ body tensed, what did Garmadon see? Did he see him hurt Shancai? That’s not good… “I-I uhh, what’s you see?” The cameraman nervously asked as he rubbed the back of his neck. The onis’ expression softened noticing Vinny tense up.

“You should know…” Garmadon sighed out as he watched the cameraman.

“Hah, you saw that?” Vinny asked worriedly, receiving a nod from the oni, “I can explain it…?” He added, he didn’t know how he could explain it without exposing some stuff so maybe he could go with the hallucination method.

“You were hallucinating right?” Garmadon asked, “You two spoke loudly, I heard some stuff” he confessed.

“Y-yea?” The cameraman awkwardly answered, well at least he didn’t need to explain himself.

“Have you been resting well?” The oni asked worriedly as he held Vinnys’ hands.

“Not really i guess…” the cameraman answered, that was lie, he’s had amazing sleep here, the kingdom felt safe. But sleep deprivation was a good excuse for hallucinations.

“Is something on your mind?” Garmadon asked, knowing fully well he wasn’t gonna get a proper answer, but it was worth a shot.

“No…” Vinny sighed out as he looked away, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“You need to rest if you’re hallucinating, I’m not pressing on about anything else, but you need rest” Garmadon spoke as he turned the cameramans’ face towards him.

“I know I know…I can take care of myself…” Vinny grumbled as he pulled away, he wasn’t going to be lectured like a child and especially since he was lying. “I gotta go now…sorry about your cheek…” he muttered as he began walking off.

The oni had other plans as he suddenly grabbed the cameramans’ arms and pushed him against the wall, earning a small yelp from Vinny before he was silenced by their lips crashing against each other. The cameraman was surprised, but happily kissed back. Garmadon was very obviously trying to ease his worries with this.

The two parted, before the oni let go of Vinny and walked off, “You looked good training…take care of yourself…” Garmadon spoke as he disappeared into the halls. The cameraman was left there standing, his cheeks bright red and slightly dazed. He hadn’t expected to be kissed again so soon, maybe Garmadon was trying to comfort him…

Vinny took a deep breath and recovered from the embarrassment, he had to go to Deity, stop getting distracted and no more scarring others. He continued his walk down the halls, before he reached Deitys’ room. The cameraman gently nodded and stood there for a moment, “Come in!” A familiar voice called out.

Vinny happily opened the door, feeling giddy from the kiss. He looked at the ground and saw Deity sitting there per usual reading a scroll. “Hello dear” she spoke with a smile as he patted the floor next to her, signalling him to sit down, which he did.

“Hey” Vinny spoke as he looked at the scroll, “Still haven’t found what you’re looking for?” He chuckled out softly.

“Sadly no…perhaps Rida doesn’t know either and is just keeping the power…” Deity answered as she rubbed her forehead.

“I doubt it…he came to me while I was in my room…” the cameraman confessed, causing Deity to look at him with concern.

“Are you alright? Did he hurt you?” She asked worriedly as she began scanning his body for any wounds.

“No no, I’m fine I swear…he was the one that got hurt not me” Vinny answered with a soft smile, as he gently held her hands reassuringly.

“How so?” She asked in curiously and surprise.

“He said some stuff, threatened the kingdom and well everyone…I may have stabbed his shoulder” the cameraman confessed, he felt a little smug that he managed to hurt Rida, and it made him feel better.

“That’s funny” Deity chuckled, “What did he want from you?”

“Not sure…when I first met him I sort of trusted him, not a lot though I think he wanted to check and see if I still trust him…and he had his answer” Vinny answered as he leaned back. “He also really doesn’t like you”

“Ah yes…I’m well aware…” Deity sighed out, her voice slightly pained. The cameraman realised this and his expression softened.

“He’s an asshole, I doubt he likes anyone” Vinny added in an attempt of comfort.

“I suppose that’s true…” Deity whispered, “Is there any reason you’re here? I thought you were training with Shancai?”

“Yea…he had patrol or something, and plus I haven’t talked to you much today, I thought I spoke to you before, but I realised it was Enji disguising himself…” Vinny sighed out, he had clearly forgotten to mention that part.

“Enji was here as well?” Deity asked, receiving a nod, “What did he need?”

“He got this photo book thingy, also Jay and Wu know about this whole situation, because Jay saw me and Enji talking, but don’t worry only they know” Vinny spoke.

“What an eventful day” Deity chuckled.

“Yea…also I have something to ask you” The cameraman spoke as he reached into his pocket reaching for the photo, Deity watched with interest. “This, it fell from the photo book Enji had, do you know anything about it?” He asked as he gave her the photo.

Oh she definitely knew something as her eyes widened and she stared at the two kids in it. “One’s Shancai right? And the other’s?” Vinny asked.

“Enji…” Deity confessed quietly as he stared at the photo. So Vinny was right…well guess he had an explanation to listen for…

(I have a migraine and my neck hurts but I pushed through for you guys😭)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon) Part 99

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

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

“Morning…” the cameraman yawned as he stretched.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Why’s that?” Nyssa asked.

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

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

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

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

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

Silence. Before it was broken once more.

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

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

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

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

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

“What about you?” Tenshi asked Nyssa.

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

“Family or friends?” The cameraman questioned.

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

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

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

“I mean…sure?” Tenshi answered awkwardly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Be quick” Tenshi said to Vinny.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“You ok?” Vinny asked her.

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

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

“I don’t know…” Tenshi whispered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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