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…

He wanted to tell Wu everything but he couldn't tell him that he just straight up stabbed the reflection. Wu sat there trying to process everything he just heard. "I have never heard something like this before...and how would it know about you and my brother and what happened between Misako" Wu said out curiously.
Vinny shrugged, "The first one you saw was wearing a robe and bird mask but the reflection was disguised as you?" Wu said trying to get something straight, Vinny nodded, "And you haven't told anyone?" Wu added earning another nod, "A-and I forgot to mention that the reflection wanted to help me in some way?" Vinny said nervously earning a surprised look from Wu.
"W-what's with the look?" Vinny said out nervously seeing the look, "From what I know when a unknown being says to help you they attempt to corrupt you and make you evil" Wu said out worriedly, hearing this made Vinny tense and look at Wu, he had so many things going through he mind right now.
"W-why would anyone want my help? I'm not special in any way" Vinny spoke out as he itched his hand. "I...am unsure, but please do tell me if this happens again and how did these being leave?" Wu asked, "W-well they just disappeared" Vinny responded.
"Interesting...I will see if my scrolls have anything similar to your descriptions and....did they do anything to you?" Wu spoke as he stood up and looked through his scrolls. "The reflection it grabbed my face a-and well...." Vinny said, he was nervous he wanted to tell him about the stabbing but didn't. "Vinny I assure you that you can trust me" Wu said in an attempt to comfort.
"Well it put a dagger in my hand and began threatening everyone saying that we should go after them first and then it said that it would make Garmadon feel miserable and that he hasn't changed and that he was a monster so then I used the dagger and fucking stabbed it in the chest a-and then it just pulled it out like nothing happened!" Vinny blurted out and slowly becoming more hysterical.
Wu stared at him worriedly and sat back down in front of him, "You stabbed it....calm down, I'm not judging you" Wu said as he helped Vinny breathe slower. "It's clearly real then, but it very clearly purposely wanted you to stab it as if...." Wu stopped talking as he went deeper into thought and looked away.
Vinny felt a wave of anxiety rush over him when Wu stopped talking, "A-as if what?" the cameraman asked, Wu looked up at him worriedly, "It's as if it's testing your worth and how far you go and how easy it would be to get you to harm someone" Wu said out worry present in his voice.
"Hah..." Vinny simply responded he was trying to mark how he really felt, "Well...tell me when you find anything about it...and thank you for the help" Vinny added as he stood up and left. Wu let him leave knowing he wasn't going through this easily, he looked out the room and saw Vinny smiling and laughing with Garmadon already.
YA'LL I AM SO FUCKING BUSY I SWEAR I WILL UPLOAD ONCE I HAVE THE TIME SORRY MY STARS
This shit is so random
Remember that loser who fucked up the triple tiger sashay 10 years ago? Get this, he’s a NINJA NOW.
(I suggest you check out part 1-3 if you haven't already, just a reminder Macaque and Red Son are just friends they aren't like a father son duo cause that would be weird since i have Shadowpeach in this comic and since Macaque and Wukong are practically MKs' parent annnnd Red Son has bull ears, and horns that are small i'm sure you have seen fanart of it before, i'll shut up now)
Red Son woke up the next day it took him a moment to process where he was, but when he did he checked the time, it was 6:23am. Red Son always woke up early to prevent the scolding from his parents for being up late, but then he just realised, "Oh fuck...my parents don't know where I am..." Red Son thought to himself he hadn't thought about this yesterday when he agreed to follow he was just exhausted. "Hopefully Macaque can lie for me..." Red mumbled, sure he didn't know where he was but Macaque knew better than to out him. Red let out a sigh before getting up and stretching. He was still wearing MKs' clothes and it was really comfy this made him blush slightly. Suddenly he remembered his fire and then carefully attempted to ignite a fire it took a minute but he let out a sigh of relief when he finally managed to do it rain honestly really fucked him up but that won't be the only thing fucking him.....
He had a pretty peaceful sleep and looked and went to the bathroom he was honestly surprised with how furnished MK's home was, but his thought went back to MKs' sculpted body from when he was shirtless last night, "So hot..." Red Son whispered out, "Why the fuck am I thinking about him, he's an idiot...a handsome idiot" Red Son added, "That's it I'm just gonna find something to eat in this place" Red Son scolded himself before going into the kitchen. He looked around and saw discarder cereal boxes on the counter and table, there were dirty dishes in the sink, "It's such a mess in here" Red Son mumbled, the fire demon wasn't a fan of messy places the closest he's ever had a place this dirty was his workshop.
"I can't with this..." Red Son mumbled as he went and turned on the tap before tying up his hair, taking off MKs' jacket from yesterday, finding some gloves and beginning to do the dishes. Red Son didn't find cleaning a pain and actually enjoyed it (can ya believe someone likes cleaning) He continued to do the dishes and eventually finished that, the fire demon also enjoyed singing and talking to himself while he did things such as cleaning, working or cooking, and yes he can cook like really good also really enjoys it. Eventually Red finished cleaning the whole kitchen, it was now 7:30am he's been cleaning for an hour and was honestly surprised the noodle boy hasn't awoken from his slumber by now. "Hm...hungry..." Red Son said quietly to himself. The fire demon went through cupboards and the found ingredients to make pancakes, "Well he has something else other than cereal" Red Son mumbled before taking off the jacket and he surprisingly found an apron which wasn't dirty and put it one I mean of course it wouldn't be dirty by the looks of it Mk probably only ate cereal and noodles which was kinda sad for Red Son to think about but he shrugged it off.
Red Son grabbed a bowl and made the pancake mixture, I don't know how to bake/cook so don't expect a good description. Once the mixture was complete the fire demon poured it onto a pan, used his fire to ignite the stove and made pancake after pancake. It honestly smelt amazing and Red Son was singing whatever song you want with the most angelic voice very ironic for a demon.
Mk woke up to an amazing smell unaware of the stunning fire demon cooking in his apartment and the beautiful act of cleaning he did. Mk yawned out loudly then checked the time, it was 8am and honestly that surprised him he usually up later than this, "Wow I'm up early, must be the smell..." Mk thought, "Haha...Red Sons' here...OH SHIT RED SONS HERE!" Mk panicked realising that the fire demon was probably up and in the kitchen. He grabbed a shirt and rushed out while putting it on. Only to hear Red Son singing as well as him cooking, the fire demon didn't notice him and continued singing unaware that he was being watched Mk looked around and noticed how clean everything was, "Did he do this..?" The monkey thought. Mk leaned on the door frame and continued to listen until the demon noticed. He was honestly lost in his thoughts Red Sons' voice sounded so sweet and soft. He was watching for 2 minutes until Red Son did a twirl and realisation hit him, "AHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE!!!??" Red Son panicked almost falling down. "Long enough...did you clean this place up?" Mk chuckled out walking towards Red Son, "I-I in fact did, this place was filthy!" Red Son nervously said out before talking in his bratty tone.
"Well thank you, was gonna eventually clean it but never had the motivation to" Mk responded before looking Red Son up and down, he was still wearing his sweatpants but the apron looked really cute on him. "I don't know how you could let your place get like this, but I made pancakes you barely had anything in those cupboards of yours other than cereal, eat it or not I couldn't care less" Red Son said before putting another pancake on a stack, "Hey I'll eat anything at this point I think I've had noodles and cereal a bit too much" Mk said as he sat at the table because Red Son signalled him to sit down. "As if that part wasn't obvious..." The fire demon mumbled before plating some pancakes and giving it to Mk. Before grabbing a tub of ice cream, and strawberries and placing it next to Mk. "Did you go through everything?" Mk chuckled out, "So what if I did? If you have a problem go back to eating cereal noodle boy" Red Son hissed slightly annoyed, "Haha...no..." Mk replied before beginning to eat. MKs' eyes lit up, "Holy shit this is like the best thing I've ever eaten, you are an amazing cook I never thought you would be able to cook" Mk said praising Red Son. Hearing this made the fire demon blush, "I-I tend to do cooking and baking as a hobby it relaxes me" Red Son replied before sitting down and beginning to eat.
Mk stared at him before smirking, "Does singing also relax you~?" the monkey teased, the fire demons' face lit up with blush, "D-Don't you mention that!!" Hr stuttered out embarrassingly. "Hey I'm not making fun of you, you're voice is really nice...I wouldn't mind listening to it forever..." Mk said his voice becoming softer as he lost himself while staring at Red Son. The fire demon blushed hearing that, "J-Just shut up you peasant and eat!" Red said nervously Mk chuckled before continuing to eat.
"I have work at 9:30, I don't mind if you stay here" Mk said breaking a silence as they ate, "Mhm...I suppose I could stay..." Red Son spoke, he was hoping Macaque managed to convince his parents that he didn't run away and somehow Mk must've read his mind, "Does Macaque know you're here...?" Mk added his voice going from his dumb tone to a more serious tone, "No...but, he won't be bothering you till he knows where I am..." Red Son replied.
After a while they finished eating Mk had to go to work and told Red Son rules he had to follow. "Morning kid, you're here early" Pigsy said surprisingly when Mk came in, "Yep" Mk replied happily while waiting for order but he couldn't quite get Red Son off his mind.
(The amount of times i lost motivation for this is unspeakable like i clicked off it and started reading other fanfic or watching youtube, ALSO the true power of the samadhi fire is blue which alters based on the power used if it's a little amount it will stay as red too much it'll be blue saying that i already mentioned this before that Meis' fire is a way downgraded version of the actual fire due to the colour)

(With Garmadon, this is after Deity and Vinny spoke)
Garmadon couldn’t get Vinny out of his mind, his concern just etched itself into his mind. He laid on his bed thoughts plaguing his mind as this whole situation grew more bizarre by the day.
Maybe he just needed some fresh air…and that’s what he did. He got up from the bed and left the room, closing the door behind him. The halls were fairly quiet, other than the few occasional chatters of the servants, discussing their guests.
The oni walked down the long hallways, strangely he didn’t receive any weird looks. Back in Ninjago people would stare at Garmadon with fear and disgust…here though, they seemed used to it…it did made sense, Deity, Shancai and Willow had unique appearances not that they were bad.
As he strolled down, he was trying to find his way back to that garden from before, but it was difficult the halls led in all sorts of directions, not that he minded it was nice exploring more of the palace.
He paused as he saw Deity walking by herself down the halls, “Should I approach her…?” He thought to himself, but before he could decide on anything she noticed him and gave him a soft smile before walking over. It was weird…seeing someone taller than him…
“Hello dear, are you looking for something?” Deity spoke softly, Garmadon shook his head, “Ah, so just wandering?” She added, receiving a nod from the oni.
“Just needed some air…I was trying to find the garden” Garmadon spoke.
“Walk with me” She spoke as she began walking, the oni nodded and followed after her, he didn’t know if he should trust her, but she seemed kind so far.
“How are you and your friends faring here?” She asked.
“Well from who I’ve seen” Garmadon spoke, “Mostly surprised by this place” he added, causing Deity to chuckle.
“The kingdom is a bit exotic” She answered, receiving a nod from the oni, “Say, I have a bit of a question…my daughter brought it up before and I was just curious” she added.
“Go ahead” Garmadon replied, he was curious as to what was brought up.
“You and…Vinny, are you close?” She asked.
“I…I thought so…but now…I don’t really know…” He confessed, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at the ground.
“Oh…did you two have something going on?” She questioned, there was hesitation in her voice clearly not wanting to overstep boundaries.
“Yea…” Garmadon sighed, he didn’t know why, but he trusted Deity…everything about her was comforting, “We’re dating…” he reluctantly added.
“Willow was right” She chuckled, receiving a confused look from the oni, “She told me that she thought there was something going on between you two, guess she was right” she added, clarifying it more.
“Is it obvious?” Garmadon questioned.
“A little…but she’s good a spotting things out like that…I spoke to Vinny not long ago” She replied.
“Is he alright…? His arm?” The oni questioned, concern etched on his face.
“His arm’s broken, but I put it in a cast and now he’s sleeping…we spoke for a while” Deity replied, Garmadon let out a shaky sigh of relief, at least Vinnys’ arm was cared for and he was resting.
“Did he eat?” The oni questioned.
“Yes, gave him food while I checked his arm” She answered, this really comforted Garmadon, knowing Vinny was being taken care of.
“Thank you…for taking care of him…he hasn’t been well lately…” Garmadon spoke as they continued walking.
“It’s no problem dear, I noticed he wasn’t well…I’ll make sure to take care of him for you and Willow and Shancai are making sure he’s well as well” Deity answered.
“Is…there any reason for how he’s acting?” Garmadon questioned, he desperately wanted to know what was happening to Vinny.
“I am unsure at the moment…” she lied, “But I’ll tell you if I find out” She added, this was also a lie. She would only tell if Vinny let her.
“Am I…doing something wrong…? At first I didn’t think much of his attitude change…but then he had a stab wound on his hand…he was physically and mentally drained…” Garmadon began speaking as they exited the palace and into the garden.
Deity’s expression softened, “I understand your concern…I’ve seen my fair share of lies in my kids…though I also understand the pain of love…scared of everything that could happen to them…” she spoke softly, “And I’ll speak to you not from my mother side…but the part of me that was the wife to someone long ago…” She added.
“I…” Was all Garmadon could say, no one’s really opened up to him before other than Vinny.
“Seeing someone you love suffer silently is terrible…the best you could do is make sure they don’t die…” Deity spoke softly as she stared out from the staircase onto the garden and saw Willow there laying in the grass.
“Your husband…you lost him?” Garmadon asked hesitantly.
“I…I don’t even know, he just disappeared he’d show up with bruises and one day I went in our room…it was a mess…the window was open and everything had been thrown around…that was 7 months after our kids were born…” she sighed.
“I’m sorry for that…” Garmadon spoke.
“You and Vinny are alike in many ways…” Deity chuckled, Garmadon stared at her curiously, “One day you’ll understand…if you wish to talk you know where to find me” she added before walking back inside the palace leaving Garmadon outside.
The oni stared out into the sky, the Sun retreating beneath it’s covers while the moon slowly awakened, he turned his attention to Willow who was still laying in the grass, looking quite peaceful.
He looked back up at the sky and sighed the wind hitting against his face was comforting…make sure they don’t die…those words rung through Garmadons’ ears, it was smart…Vinny clearly wasn’t going to say anything anytime soon.
The oni rested his head against the railing, hunching his back as he stroked a hand through his hair and groaned, why does everything just get worse…? What was he meant to do? They have a new villain and potential allies here and whatever seemed to be happening was dangerous.
Everyone seemed concerned about Vinny and could you blame them? His mental and physical health declined in the span of like a week, “this idiot…I love him…” Garmadon thought to himself.
