well this is what's happening if anyone wonders what happens if my fanfics are updated slowly
(I suggest you check out parts 1-39 if you haven't already) (UIHDHJKSKJ PART 40 ALREADY!!!!!!!!!)
"I instructed you to go keep an eye on him...not to harm him again..." Rida spoke out, his voice sounded distorted and he was speaking fairly calm. "S-sorry..." Enji replied as he stood up straight, Rida looked down at Vinny who was on the floor slowly backing away from the two. The masked figure let out a sigh clearly noticing Vinnys' lack of sleep and puffy eyes from crying. "Don't do it again...unless I tell you..." Rida said as he looked back at Enji who nodded in response. Vinny looked up at Rida and holy shit was he tall he was like Garmadon, but just a bit shorter.
"What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck...!" Vinny screamed internally as he brought his knees to his chest. "Enji give me the blade..." Rida instructed which the black haired menace obeyed instantly giving him the blade he was harming Vinny with. Rida took the blade and crouched down in front of the shaken cameraman who tried to squirm away. "I won't harm you..." The masked figure spoke, his voice was oddly calming yet....unnerving...
Vinny was still tense but stopped trying to get away, "What do you two want with me...?" he asked his voice breaking slightly as he held back tears, he's had so much things happen in the span of less than a week he was tired and sick of this. "Nothing too much....but...you won't be telling us anything about it anytime soon..." Rida replied calmly as he placed the blade down in front of Vinny, that was the first time he had a clear view of the blade, it was made with a black crystal which had black spots to it through it and the handle was wrapped in what looked like leather. "It's quite a beautiful dagger, isn't it?" Rida asked breaking the silence.
Vinny hesitantly nodded, he didn't like how friendly Rida was being, it was unnerving and gave Vinny mixed feelings about how to feel about the guy. "It's made out of red obsidian" The masked figure spoke out as he reached out for Vinnys' hand. The cameraman flinched away when Rida attempted to grab his hand which was wrapped in a bandage, it was weird enough he just met the guy but the bird mask was quite intimidating.
Rida could tell Vinny was nervous and let out a sigh before taking off the mask. Enji was right about him having his face covered in scars, his hair was dark grey though what caught Vinnys' attention the most was his eyes, he had dark orange eyes. "My mask does tend to intimidate people...though so does my appearance" Rida spoke out. The cameraman looked at him before looking at the bird mask, "W-what bird is that?" he asked curiously, "Ah, it's a phoenix" The orange eyed figure spoke.
Enji was looking down at the two annoyed at the interaction, but he trusted Rida. Rida signalled for Vinny to give him his hand, the cameraman hesitated for a moment before giving it to him. The orange eyed figure picked up the blade and Vinny instantly froze, he was scared to move his hand knowing very well the two of them could kill him. Rida then carefully cut off the bandages and inspected the wounds, The orange eyed figure signalled for Enji to come sit next to him, he was hesitant but sat down, this made Vinny jump slightly he was much more scared of Enji at the moment.
"Fear and pain....are both powerful things...." Rida spoke out as he began cleaning the wound on the cameramans' hand. Enji and Vinny looked at him paying close attention, "Us humans tend to...use it against others....everyone fears something...anyone who says they don't is a fool and liar..." He continued, Vinny was really curious, he knew there was some truth behind those words. "People use pain...to force people into obeying, otherwise.....they'll get hurt" Rida added before squeezing Vinnys' hand tightly as he said the last part, this hurt Vinny and caused him to attempt to jerk his hand away.
"Tell someone what you fear....and it will be used against you and you will become nothing but a weapon and object to them" the orange eye figure added as he grabbed Vinnys' hand and began wrapping it with bandages. "We all fear something...so tell me...what do you fear?" Rida asked as his eyes glowed slightly. Vinny was uneasy, he didn't to answer him but he felt like he had to. "I can tell you are uneasy, I'll go first then you" Rida spoke out, Vinny hesitantly nodded.
"I fear...the ocean, being forgotten and loud noises..." Rida spoke calmly before looking over to Enji who seemed very curious as to why Rida was saying all this, Vinny was really curious about all this, he expected her to have fears but he didn't expect him to tell him. "Your turn..." Rida said calmly to Vinny, "I-I fear being trapped, being...left alone, being useless, h-hurting the one I l-love...l-losing the ones I l-love..." Vinnys' voiced broke slightly as he began thinking about Garmadon and how much he upset him.
Rida looked at him then at Enji, "You can go now..." Rida whispered to Enji who listened happily and left instantly. "Now then...that fight you got into with him was quite upsetting?" The orange eyed figure asked as he gently lifted up Vinnys' chin. The cameraman nodded, "I-I didn't mean t-to upset him, Enji s-said I can't tell anyone!" Vinny said as tears welled in his eyes. Rida nodded, "No one ever means to hurt the ones they love....and certainly not you, right?" Rida asked, Vinny nodded.
"Good...avoid them all..." Rida simply said, "W-what?" Vinny replied not knowing what he meant, "You need some space to breathe and think you also need to get some sleep because running on two hours of sleep isn't easy is it?" Rida responded quickly, "I-I....guess you're r-right..." Vinny responded, "Say...you have to go for work then just do what you want for the day" Rida added earning another nod from Vinny, "You both need some space from each other" The orange eyed figure spoke.
"Y-yea...you're right..." The cameraman responded as he looked at the ground, "Now then...this is yours then..." Rida said as he put the dagger in Vinnys' hand and closed it. "I'll see you some other time..." Rida said as he put the phoenix mask back on, "O-ok..." Vinny responded, he didn't know why but he trusted Rida so much he was much more tame and sane than Enji, why was Enji so obedient to him then. Rida nodded before standing up and disappeared into thin air.
Vinny looked at the blade and clenched it tightly, "O-okay...I do need some space from him...I'm just tired...never meant to upset him..." Vinny said to himself as he began thinking about Garmadon.
(SAHJSHJHJHSH YESSSSSHH ENJI WAS LESS OF A DICKHEAD IN THIS CHAPTER AND NOW WE HAVE RIDA)
(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)
no but like i was just thinking of this audio between the two and the exact same scene
Adam : YOU SHOULD'N BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FIGHT YOU'RE TOO IMPORTANT
Charlie : I'M NOT
Adam : YES YOU ARE. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME DO THIS FOR YOU CAIN?
OUGH. ARE YOU.... ARE YOU SUGGESTING ADAM PULLS A FINDING NEMO ON CHARLIE??
(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…

(With Garmadon, Wu and the others)
When the ground warped beneath them and they fell through, Garmadon was quick to act and almost immediately transformed into his oni form, with the fours arms. He flew and caught Pixal, Zane and Wu.
They were lowered to the ground and he dropped them there before looking around, “Thank you brother” Wu sighed as he dusted himself off, the oni was given a nod of gratitude from both the nindroids.
“Where are we?” Pixal questioned as she stared at ether surroundings, overgrown plants everywhere, no mountains insight like Vinny and the others, not that they would know. Large flowers, and trees stretched on for miles.
“Bigger question is how did we get here and where are the others?”Garmadon spoke, he noticed intricate markings on the trees, they looked like flowers and had definitely been carved there.
“They must’ve landed somewhere else, as for where we are is unlike anything I’ve seen before” Zane spoke as he turned his attention to the markings on the tree.
“Shall we search around?” Wu suggested and the others nodded in agreement.
“It would be wise that we stay together” Pixal spoke.
“Agreed, there’s only 4 of us, who knows what lurks through this forest” Garmadon spoke, they nodded and began walking one way. Garmadon stayed in the front leading them, it was definitely safer that way, he was stronger than them.
They walked for ages till coming across, what seemed like a living space. Large flowers were placed around like couches, and vines lead up to trees while hollow trees had vine beds.
“Someone comes here often” Zane spoke.
“Then we be on guard” the oni spoke as he stared at the same flower like insignia on the ground. As they observed their surroundings, Pixal jumped slightly as vines began wrapping around her legs.
“I fear that someone is here” she spoke as she attempted to shake the vine off her, Zane however used his sword and cut it.
Garmadons’ ears twitched as he heard rustling from above in the trees. “Don’t let your guard down…those vines can come from anywhere” Wu spoke, as everyones attention darted towards the noise.
More vines wrapped around Zane and Pixal stringing them up, while it began going after Wu. Garmadon attempted to fend the vines off, but was strung up as well.
Once they were all strung up, a large flower came down as it opened, a person came out? She looked interested, as the vines on them loosened.
They were shocked…her appearance…black scleras with a dark emerald irises, she had a yang sign on her right cheek and she had elf like ears with tons of piercings. She had her hair in two twin buns and some of it out, while she wore a black body suit with low rise jean shorts, she seemed quite short too and was a little on the chubby side.
She smiled to them, “Hi! Nice to meet you, I’m Willow!” She spoke energetically as she lowered them from the vines.
“H-hello?” Zane spoke awkwardly as they all dusted themselves off.
“Sorry sorry, that was such a bad introduction! I’ve never seen you all around here and definitely not in the kingdom, maybe my brother did, I’ll ask him later” She spoke really fast, only Pixal and Zane could understand.
“What’s your names?” She questioned.
“I’m Zane, this is Pixal, that’s Master Wu and this is Garmadon” Zane introduced everyone.
“How’d you all get here?” Willow questioned as she lifted up Pixal arms curiously, she clearly was intrigued by, as of everyone that saw the two nindroids.
“We are unsure, can you tell us where we are?” Wu spoke.
“This whole forest is called Grove, while the kingdom is well the Ivory Kingdom” She replied as she laid back on one of the flower seats, sinking into it.
“Ivory Kingdom? I’ve never heard of something like that” Wu spoke, Garmadon nodded in agreement.
“If I may ask, how do you do that?” Pixal questioned, signalling to her ability of controlling plants.
Willow smiled and chuckled, “Elemental of nature!” She spoke happily as she used fines to push all of them onto the flower seats, it was fairly comfortable.
“Elemental? When did you discover this?” Garmadon questioned, as he sat up properly on the seats.
“Around…” she counted on her fingers, “Seven years ago!” She spoke.
“You mentioned you have a brother…is he an elemental?” Zane questioned, she shook her head.
“This…Ivory Kingdom…what’s it like?” Garmadon spoke.
“Really nice, I don’t spend a lot of time there, but I got there occasionally, my brother on the other hand stays there a lot! He’s sworn protector of the kingdom, and well since my mum’s the empress we don’t have much responsibility, but I protect the forest” She spoke, it was clear she tired slowing her speaking down a little.
“So you’re the princess?” Zane questioned, she nodded. She seemed laid back, but also very aware at the same time. Anytime there was a noise from the distance she would react quickly.
“Is is just you four here?” She questioned as a tree branch lowered near them and she grabbed an apple, “Want one?” She asked, but they all shook their heads.
“As far as we know, the rest of our friends are probably lost in the forest as well” Pixal spoke.
“How many?” Willow asked.
“Six” Garmadon spoke, the worry he had for Vinny at the moment was overwhelming, but he tried his best to hide it.
“I can search around the forest, but if they were lost in the kingdom then they might’ve met my brother…” She spoke, slight worry in her voice.
“Is something wrong with your brother?” Wu questioned.
“Not really…but he takes protecting the kingdom seriously and if there’s people he doesn’t recognise…cause trust me he knows everyone in that kingdom, and if he finds your friends he’ll see them as trespassers” Willow spoke as she got up and stretched.
“Is there any chance you can take us to the kingdom?” Wu asked.
“Yep! My mum can probably get you back to where you’re from” Willow spoke, the others stood up.
“Thank you” They all thanked her, she gave them a friendly smile and began walking one way, they realised she wasn’t wearing shoes.
(WILLOW MY BELOVED!!!)

Shancai and Vinny both stared up at the ledge, their expressions souring as they heard and saw Enjis’ voice. “Looks like my two favourite people have met!” Enji laughed out as he sat down on the ledge swinging his legs.
“Are you here to fight or talk?” The prince hissed as he held onto his spear, standing in front of the cameraman’s protectively.
“We both know I would love to talk to you, sunshine…but you are sooooo mean to me dear” The black haired menace spoke with fake offence as he stood back up, his hand gripping onto his enchanted mirror shard. Vinny had no idea what was going on, Enji was acting a little different.
“Whatever you do stay close” The prince muttered to Vinny, receiving a nod, what else was he meant to do? He couldn’t protect himself and definitely couldn’t outrun Enji, but the cameraman was torn out of his thoughts as Enji used the enchanted mirror to teleport behind him and rests hand on his shoulder.
“How you doing buddy?” The black haired menace spoke with fake care as he smiled at the cameraman devilishly, Vinny let out a small yelp as he jumped slightly trying to pull from Enjis’ touch. Thankfully, Shancai knocked Enjis’ hand away with his spear. “Oh you wound me Shanni!” He spoke as he clutched his chest.
“Enough with your dramatics” The prince spoke as he rolled his eyes, Enji just smiled at him before teleporting away, but still in sight.
“Alright alright!” Enji laughed out demonically as he pulled out a bunch of small daggers, “We can have a conversation another time, right now…I wanna see how far you’re willing to go to protect my new friend” he added with a smile.
“Asshole…” Vinny grumbled, Enji referring to him as a, friend, made him sick. He knew he was being messed with, but he still hated Enji. Though seeing Enji was better than seeing Rushifa.
“I heard of Rushifa’s little act” The black haired menace spoke, causing Vinnys’ throat to go dry as his heart dropped. Enji threw a bunch of daggers, but the prince pulled Vinny under a market stall and pulled down the cover, which managed to block the daggers.
“Ignore him” Shancai spoke, “He’s messing with your emotions” he added, as he kept the market cover down, shielding them from Enjis’ sight and attacks.
“It’s a bit hard when I’m freezing and he knows exactly what upsets me” The cameraman answered, his voice slightly frustrated, he wasn’ frustrated at Shancai, but at Enji, he was so sick of him.
“You’re cold?” The prince asked, Vinny nodded, but was a bit surprised as to why Shancai focused on that.
“It’s no fun when you hide!” Enji called out as the sound of metal clanking was heard. The prince ignored him and grabbed a random cloth and wrapped it around Vinny like a cloak, he also grabbed this clasp that kept the makeshift cloak together, it seemed like it had a phoenix on it.
“Better?” Shancai asked, receiving another nod from the cameraman.
“Shanni!” Enji called out, “Seriously! You usually fight me! But now you’re not to protect him!? I’m kinda jealous~!” He added, with fake innocence as he scrapped a dagger against the metal polls.
“You see there?” Shancai spoke to Vinny as he pointed to a different side, the cameraman nodded, “I need you to run, while I keep him busy” the prince added.
“Are you crazy?” Vinny asked, “I’m not leaving you” he added worriedly, receiving a confused look from the prince.
“I can defend myself” Shancai spoke, before rolling his eyes as Enji made another dramatic comment.
“I-I know, but are you sure? What if he hurts you?” Vinny asked worriedly.
“I’ll be fine…if I get hit it’ll be nothing short of a bruise” The prince answered before peeking out from the market cover, throwing a spear towards Enji, while another one rejuvenated in his hand which his hit the ground three times, before the old spear exploded.
“Fine…” the cameraman sighed before at where he needed to run, Shancai gave him a reaffirming nod which Vinny let out a shaky breathe before bolting out of the cover, he just kept running and running, he could hear Enji cackling as he threw daggers.
The prince however lunged towards Enji, taking his attention off Vinny, “Hey sexy~” Enji spoke, his voice slightly shaky as he was pinned down by Shancai. As much as the cameraman wanted it be weirded out by how Enji was being, he couldn’t, he just had to keep running.
Shancai let out a shaky gasp as ‘Enji’ disappeared from in front of him, either a clone or he used the mirror. The prince immediately got up and ran towards Vinny. “Watch out!” Shancai shouted as Enji threw a dagger towards the cameraman.
Vinny flinched away, the dagger thankfully missing anything important, but he let out a pained cry as the dagger sliced his upper arm. Blood dripped down as he stared at the cut. “Don’t stop! Keep running I’m enjoying this game!” Enji laughed out as he played with a new dagger.
Vinny growled in annoyance, ignoring the very obvious blood that began staining his clothes. He began moving away only to have Enji jump up and get ready to kick him. Vinny noticed too late.
The cameramans’ eyes widened as he saw Enji, he shut his eyes expecting to get hit, but the impact never came, he hesitantly opened his eyes as he heard a soft groan. Shancai was in front of his, staring daggers into Enjis’ head. Vinny couldn’t help, but notice how surprised Enji looked, he didn’t seem to expect to hit Shancai.
“Shit! You okay!?” The cameraman asked worriedly once he recovered from the shock, as he went over to the princes’ side.
“Way to take the fun out of it princey…” Enji grumbled before he grabbed a pastry from one of the now abandoned stalls, before disappearing.
“Go fuck yourself asshole!” Vinny hissed out, just incase Enji was still there listening, he turned his attention back to Shancai. “That’s gotta hurt…”
“I’m fine” The prince spoke as he stood up straight, holding onto his spear tightly.
“Don’t give me that fucking bullshit” The cameraman hissed, in a more harsh tone that even surprised himself, Shancai seemed surprised being spoke to that way. “S-sorry…fuck you shouldn’t get hurt to protect me…” he sighed out shakily.
“We’re both hurt” Shancai spoke, as he stared at Vinnys’ bleeding arm.
“Right…” the cameraman sighed out as he rubbed his temples, the prince grabbed a small cloth and wrapped it around Vinnys’ wound to somewhat stop the bleeding. It hurt when Shancai tightened the cloth, the cameraman took a sharp breathe and winced slightly.
“We should go back to the palace…I can help bandage that” The prince spoke, receiving a defeated nod from Vinny as they began making their way to the palace.
