Hey guys! So for some reason, Tumblr won’t let me post my newest fanfic <_< so here’s a link! It would mean a lot if you guys would check it out. Thanks!

Summary: When Jay finds the remnant of Zane’s face, the single, chipped word Brother written just under the eye, he throws it so hard against the ground it splits in two.

Unions AU | Ninjago

I should warn you this AU is more for old seasons (0-6). But I can mention new seasons for examples.

First of all, Wu, Garmadon and their dad aren't gods or half-gods or whatever. Just human. That means their dad isn't the first Master of Spinjitzu. But he is Master of Energy before Lloyd. Powers are passed down from parent to child in about 60 per cent of cases and only after present Master's death. The elemental power always finds the most appropriate creature (not always human).

There are no Master of Shadow and Masters of Time, but there is Master of Darkness. One that we know is Garmadon. His power was demonstrated in pilot season and in new seasons.

Master of Energy and Master of Darkness are the most powerful, their powers are equal.

Some words about Master of Amber. He can copy the power only with a kiss lips by lips. And power that he copied isn't so strong as original.

And the last before telling of the Unions. True potential isn't like "Oh, now I know for what I was born. Great". True potential is the power-up with glowing eyes of color of element when special condition is met. For example, condition for Darkness is suffering, condition for Lighting is feeling of connecting and etc.

*  *  *

Now, the Unions.

• the Union of Harmony.

Leader: Energy.

Another members: Lighting, Ice, Earth.

How it was created: Master of Energy wants to stop the activity the Union or War, so, he found other members. He suggested the glory and the wealth if they help him. They accept the suggestion, Master of Energy was right. Common people was grateful for heroes so much as possible. Since this generation the Union didn't change composition.

Activity: Attempts to stop the activity of the Union of War. They bring the peace and the harmony around the world. Sometimes they help rulers in important questions.

• the Union of War.

Leader: Darkness.

Another members: Fire, Poison.

How it was created: The interests of Masters were similar, so, it was created by itself. Fire's potential is fighting, Poison's potential is mutations and rotting and Darkness's potential is suffering. Fire and Poison just started to follow Darkness. After some time the cult and home for them was created by fans.

Activity: They bring the war around the world. Sometimes they started the big quarrel, sometimes just helps one of the sides or kill both.

• the Unions of Nature.

Leader: None.

Members: Water, Light, Wind (not always), Nature.

How it was created: It exists only when planet needs they help, when ecology is in total problem. But since developing of Technology planet needs them the most of time. Wind not always in the Union because it's hard to find him.

Activity: Ecological recovery.

• the Circus Union.

Leader: Amber.

Another members: Metal, Form, Mind.

How it was created: It excited only two generations in XIX century when circus was very popular. Amber found another members and suggest this job for them. They agreed. 'Unbelievable elemental circus' was the most popular. They and their children earn a lot of money, so it was enough for next generations. Chen is in family of Master of Amber and after so long time the Elemental Master in family again, his daughter.

Activity: Circus job.

My arts and sketches for this AU:

Bonus:

• Misako didn't know about Garmadon's power before Lloyd's born. When Lloyd was about one year old, mother took him and ran away.

• Nya joined the Union of Harmony because of Jay, so, Kai wants to kill her boyfriend.

• When Garmadon dies, Harumi becomes new Master of Darkness.

• Chen was having a lot of fun watching Elemental Masters who on opposite sides at the Tournament of Elements.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 101

(I suggest you check out parts 1-100 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinnys’ eyes fluttered open as soft chirping from birds and sunshine awakened him. Slowly, but surely he sat up and looked around. Nyssa and Tenshi were both still asleep. Good. He didn’t want to burden them. The cameraman sucked in his breath as his knuckles stung.

He lifted his hand and stared at his bandaged hand. Right. Guess punching a mirror did that. He swung his legs over the side of the couch and stuffed his face in his hands. What was he meant to do?

Gathering all his strength Vinny forced himself onto his legs, before trembling slightly though managing to balance himself as he quietly walked over to the bathroom. Not wanting to wake up Nyssa and Tenshi.

He blinked when he entered the bathroom. The broken mirror shards had been cleaned up, and the broken mirror had a cloth over it. Gods…he felt so guilty for making them do that. To take care of him. Pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic…

His breathing quickened as he leaned against the sink and clutched his chest. “Breathe…” Vinny whispered to himself. He didn’t want to wake them up again, they needed sleep.

He stood there for what seemed like hours before his breathing relaxed and his body slowly grew less tense. He was jumpy. Easily triggered. His emotions were sensitive. And it was making him drown. “Fuck…” he muttered, before it slowly turned into a hysteric chuckle.

He was going insane! Funny! He managed to stumble his way out of the kitchen and drop down on the couch. Using his hand to stifle his hysterical laughter. Oh gods…this wasn’t even the worst of it…he could tell. Rida was planning something big. And it would tip him over!

“Vinny…” Tenshi whispered from the other side of the couch as he stared so him.

The cameraman stared at him before flashing him a forced smile, struggling to keep a straight face as he choked on laughter. Tenshis’ expression softened as he got up from his side of the couch and sat down next to Vinny.

“We’re gonna deal with this…I promise” Tenshi whispered as he pulled the cameraman into a hug. “I know what you’re feeling…but I swear it’ll stop…”

Vinny stayed quiet, other than a few soft choked laughs as he avoided eye contact. Slowly those laughs turned into broken sobs as he flinged to Tenshi like a koala to a tree. He was miserable.

It seemed all he did was sleep and cry. He wanted to do something. Something other than cry…

He flinched as he felt another hand rest on his shoulder, before he slowly relaxed. He couldn’t even look at Nyssa like this. It was shameful.

“So, what are we gonna do today?” Nyssa questioned, very clearly trying to distract Vinny.

The cameraman stayed quiet for a minute before clearing his throat. “My friends, they’re probably worried and I need to explain all of this to them…” he whispered as he rubbed tears from his eyes, while laying limp in Tenshis’ arms.

“Then that’s what we’re doing” Nyssa answered with a large comforting smile.

Vinny slowly lifted his gaze and stared at her, he couldn’t stop the soft smile that crept onto his face. Though he turned his attention to Tenshi, a soft look as well. Comforting yet tormented. Years of being trapped.

“Alright then…” the cameraman breathed in as he sat up properly and rubbed his eyes, “So I’m gonna order us food, and then we can go…and your clothes should be dry now” he added as he looked at Nyssa.

Nysaa smiled happily, “Aye aye captain!” She joked as she ruffled his hair. “I’m not really hungry though…”

“Same” Tenshi spoke up. “We were barely fed back then, our appetite’s changed…”

“I’m not hungry either” the cameraman chuckled, “Just thought you two might be”

“Well we can eat later right?” Nyssa asked, receiving a nod from Vinny.

“So we just leave?” Tenshi asked.

“Yep” the cameraman answered.

“Well that’s easy” Nyssa said.

Vinny took a deep breath before getting up and stretching, “I’ll get your clothes” he said, receiving a nod from Nyssa as her and Tenshi watched him walk away.

The cameraman quickly grabbed the clothes before throwing them at Nyssa, who happily took them. “Shit they smell good!” She laughed as she got up before going to another room to change.

“That’s the point” Vinny jokingly called out in response, smiling at the soft laughter of Nyssa.

The cameraman let out a sigh as he sat down on the couch. “How are you gonna tell your friends….” Tenshi spoke up as he looked at Vinny.

“No idea…but they’ve met Enji before, they just don’t know I know him, and I told two about Rida…and there were some that had issues with both of them before…” Vinny said.

“Explaining this to your friends can either go great or terribly” Tenshi confessed, receiving a nod from the cameraman.

“They’re already worried with what’s wrong with me, first it was Enji that came and he fucked up my life” Vinny explained, “Then it was Rida, I thought he might’ve been better than Enji but no, he:S worse much worse”

“Rida conceals who he is, he acts like he’s your friend then stabs you in the back” Tenshi spoke.

“I learnt that the hard way” Vinny laughed out as he brushed a hand through his hair. “What’s the point of him trapping all of us?”

“No idea” Tenshi answered, “I doubt it’s just a source of entertainment and I hope it isn’t”

“Agreed, who’s so sick that they trap and make people fight just for entertainment” the cameraman sighed out.

“There probably is a deeper reason” Tenshi said, before turning his attention to the room Nyssa came out of.

“I have never felt better” Nyssa said with a large smile as she sat down next to them.

“Agreed” Tenshi spoke up, before watching Vinny get up and stretch. “We’re leaving?”

“The longer we take the leave the more time Rida has to find us” The cameraman muttered as he grabbed his cloak and wrapped his arm bracers in it before shoving his dagger in his pocket.

“Guess you’re right, and I really wanna meet your friends” Nyssa answered as she got up.

“Do you even have shoes?” Vinny asked, “I know you don’t” he said as he pointed at Tenshi.

“Sort of? Not really” Nyssa chuckled awkwardly before watching the cameraman grab some shoes.

“Both of you try them, some are too big for me” Vinny said as he gave them the shoes. “Socks” he threw socks at them.

The two nodded at him and tried the shoes on. “Well it fits” Tenshi confessed, Nyssa nodded in response.

“Then we leave” the cameraman answered as he went to the door and opened it, followed by Nyssa and Tenshi. “Also, don’t try to talk to anyone, people can either be an absolute bitch or too kind”

“Wasn’t planning on it” Tenshi answered as they walked out of the apartment and into an elevator which Nyssa was resisting poking the buttons.

Eventually they made it down and Vinny chuckled when he saw Nyssa and Tenshi squint their eyes. “You all fine with walking?” The cameraman questioned.

“Obviously” Nyssa teased, “Are you?”

“Yes I am” Vinny answered as he stuck out his tongue, smiling when he saw Tenshi let out a soft chuckle. “Walk‘s like 15 minutes, give or take”

“That’s not bad” Tenshi said, receiving a nod from the two as they began to walk. The walk was fairly boring expect Nyssa and Tenshi pretty much staring at everything and Nyssa petting every dog she saw. Vinny couldn’t blame her at all.

Eventually they stopped at a large staircase. “We’re here” the cameraman spoke up, his voice extremely shaky.

“I am not walking up there” Nyssa spoke bluntly as she stared up the stairs.

“Relax! You think I would?” Vinny laughed as he went over to an elevator. “This’ll take us right up!” He said with a nervous chuckle.

“Good” Nyssa and Tenshi said in unison as they followed Vinny. They watched him press the button and watched the elevator door open.

The three entered the elevator and watched it closed. As they all stood there Nyssa and Tenshi let our a sigh when they saw Vinny anxiously bouncing his leg.

“It’ll be fine” Nyssa comforted him as she patted his back.

“I doubt it…I should’ve told them straight away” the cameraman confessed as he brushed a hand through his hair while he still held his cloak.

“They’ll probably be a little upset, but they’ll understand” Tenshi said, receiving a soft smile from Vinny.

“Alright then…” the cameraman whispered before taking a deep breath as the elevator door opened. Nyssa and Tenshi exited it first, while Vinny just stood there. He didn’t want to do this.

“They’re gonna find out eventually” Tenshi said to him as he watched Vinny slowly exit the elevator.

“I know” the cameraman whined as he stood in front of the monastery door.

“They’ll understand” Nyssa said in an attempt to soothe his worries.

The cameraman took a deep breath before knocking on the monastery door. The three stood there for a minute. Vinnys’ heart pounding in his chest as his hair stood on ends.

He took a shaky breath when the door opened, Nya. Probably the best outcome. “H-hey?” Vinny greeted awkwardly before freezing when Nya hugged him.

“Where the hell did you go!?” The water ninja questioned. “And who are they?” She stared at Nyssa and Tenshi with a soft yet curious smile.

“It’s…best I explain it all with everyone” the cameraman confessed as he rubbed the back of his neck. “And this is Nyssa and Tenshi met them like 3 days ago, I’ll explain how but get everyone please” Vinny reluctantly spoke up.

“Alright…but you’re telling us the truth I don’t want elaborate lies” Nya sighed out as she rubbed her temples before letting the three in the monastery. “Sit out here, I’ll get them”

The three nodded, walked in and sat down together, before watching Nya go inside, “Everyone outside now!” Nya called out, causing Vinny to tense up, what’s about to happen was really hitting him.

“She seems fun” Nyssa told Vinny.

“That’s Nya, elemental master of water…she is fun, you’d like her” The cameraman answered.

“How many people do you have to explain this to?” Tenshi questioned.

“Uhh…” Vinny began to count on his fingers, “Nine here and three other people that aren’t here”

“Oh fuck…I thought it was like 5…” Nyssa confessed, “That’s worse than I thought…”

“I know” the cameraman sighed as he dropped his face in his hands. He didn’t want to do this anymore. He wanted to curl up in ball and die.

Nyssa and Tenshi said some things to him, probably something comforting, but he wasn’t listening, he was too absorbed in his own thoughts.

Vinny tensed up when he saw everyone come out of the monastery, their eyes landing on him, shock, confusion and worry. He tried his best to ignore how Garmadon was practically boring holes in his head.

“Told you he was alive…” Lloyd whispered to his father, receiving a soft nod. The cameraman could feel Nyssa and Tenshis’ worry for how this situation might go.

Vinny stared at the ground, ignoring what everyone was saying to him. They were worried, rightfully so. “I-I’ll explain…” he sighed out as he anxiously bounced his leg, watching as the others sat down, ready to listen.

This was gonna be terrible.

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 93

(I suggest you check out parts 1-92 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Deity)

Deity had checked out what the maids told her about, turns out Rushifa, cursed a plant and it was attacking. Nothing a little magic couldn’t fix. Deity was on her way back to her room, she enjoyed talking to Vinny. He was sweet, but just had the worse luck ever.

She was a little surprised when she made it back to her room and saw the door wide open, she cocked her head to the side as she looked it. It was empty. Vinny wasn’t in sight at all. Maybe he went to his room to grab something? Deity checked the bathroom, but there was no one in there either.

She went back out her room and it’s then when she noticed glowing dust on the ground. “Strange” Deity spoke out loud to herself as she began following it. Was Vinny safe? No idea. But she really hoped for the best. The dust led to Vinnys’ room, which was also wide open.

Deity hesitantly entered and noticed the window wide open too, and the dust trailing onto the bed. “Vinny?” She called out, as she knocked on the bathroom door. No answer. She hesitantly opens the bathroom door. Empty.

“Maybe he bumped into one of his friends?” Deity spoke to herself as she exited the room and began searching for the ninja. “Please be alright…” she whispered, trying to reassure herself.

“Deity?” A voice called out, Deity whipped her head around, Nya.

“Hello dear” Deity spoke, giving her a forced smile, before she stopped and turned back to the water ninja.

“You alright?” Nya asked worriedly, noticing Deitys’ tense stature.

“You wouldn’t by any chance have seen Vinny have you?” Deity worriedly asked.

“Not at all” the water ninja replied curiously, “Why is something wrong?” She asked, failing ti hide the worry that forced its way into her voice.

“It’s just that we were talking and I had to do something, now he’s not in my room or his room” Deity answered, “Maybe I’m overthinking it…” she shakily sighed as she rubbed her head.

“Maybe he went to your son? We can go check with the others if he’s with them” Nya spoke, she was trying to reassure Deity and herself.

“That would be nice, thank you dear” Deity sighed out, “And he can’t be with Shancai, he went on patrol, that’s why I was with Vinny” she confessed, receiving an understanding nod from the water ninja as the two began quickly walking down the halls.

The others were all sitting in this one room, it was like a lounge room. Kai, Jay, Zane and Pixal were talking while Cole and Lloyd were on their phones. “Oh hey Nya!” The lightning ninja spoke out happily as he waved at her.

“Hey” the water ninja sighed, while Deity looked at the ground. Zane, Pixal and Lloyd must’ve noticed the tense sate of the two, as curiosity brightened in their eyes.

“What’s up?” The green ninja asked, slight worry tainting his voice.

“Has anyone seen Vinny?” Nya questioned, causing the others to perk up.

“No? We’ve all been here for the past hour and a half” Kai answered as he cocked his head, wondering why his sister would ask this.

“Fuck…” The water ninja muttered as he rubbed her temples.

“Did something happen to him?” Zane questioned, as they all listened intently.

“Vinny sort of disappeared after Deity left him alone for a few minutes, and he’s not in his room, not with Shancai…so we’re seeing you anyone has seen him” Nya confessed, causing the others’ jaws to drop.

“Can he not get a break?” Cole asked, “Dumb question, but do you think he went back into the forest again?” He added.

“Trust me…he would never go back in there” Deity spoke, she was confident with her words…after what Rushifa did to him last time? Never again.

“Shall we all look around the palace?” Pixal questioned.

“That would be amazing…we’re gonna go find Master Wu and Garmadon” The water ninja spoke, as she turned around to the door.

“Alright then…guess we can all just hope he’s alright” the fire ninja sighed as he got up.

“He better be alright” Lloyd spoke, receiving nods from the others. Nya and Deity turned around leaving the room, as they began looking around the spinjitzu brothers.

“Where do you think he could’ve went?” Nya asked.

“Not sure…but there was this glowing dust leading from my room all the way to his room” Deity confessed.

“This is so weird” the water ninja sighed, receiving a nod from Deity. The two looked around the palace for a while before finding Garmadon and Wu outside on the balcony. “Master Wu!” Nya sighed out in relief.

“Nya?” Wu spoke, curiosity tainting his voice as the two brother looked towards Deity and Nya. “Is something wrong?” He questioned.

“Have you seen Vinny in like the past 30 minutes or so?” The water ninja asked, desperately hoping they had seen him.

“No, shouldn’t he be with the prince?” Garmadon questioned as he cocked his head, it was clear anxiety was creeping up his back.

“Shanni went on patrol…I was with Vinny and left him for a few minutes to check on something and when I went back he wasn’t there” Deity confessed.

“We already told Lloyd and the others, they’re looking around the palace” Nya spoke.

“You were saying?” The oni asked Wu, concern etched on his face and in his voice.

“What?” The water ninja asked.

“We were talking about Vinny…and his strange attitude, I said he was fine but it appears I was wrong” Wu sighed as he rubbed his temples. Deity realised Wu was trying to keep Enji and Rida a secret as of Vinnys’ request.

“We don’t know if he’s missing for certain, he could just be somewhere and we just haven’t’ found him” Deity spoke, as she tried assuring Garmadon and herself, she was just as worried as everyone.

“Well if he’s actually missing, when we find him I’m getting an answer as to what the hell’s happening to him” Garmadon muttered before he walked out, most definitely looking for Vinny.

“I’ll go search my own” Nya spoke, receiving a nod from Deity and Wu. They both watched the water ninja walk out of sight, there was this silence between the two.

“Vinny told you about Rida and Enji?” Deity questioned Wu, breaking the silence.

“Yes, do you think they have something to do with this?” Wu answered.

“Perhaps…though it would be more so Rida” Deity answered, “I’ll be on my way then” she sighed as she walked off, leaving Wu alone. Deity was making her way back to the cameramans’ room, maybe she could find a hint or something.

The room door was closed. Strange. She didn’t do that. Deity slowly and quietly opened the door, not wanting to alert anyone that would be in there. She silently hoped that it would be Vinny in there.

Much to her surprise and dismay, it wasn’t Vinny nor Rida. Enji? And he was looking around, clearly not noticing the door opened. Deitys’ eyes sharpened as she too out her hair pin and grabbed Enji, pushing him against the wall, earning a yelp from the man as his eyes widened once he saw the hair pin against his neck. “What have you done to him?” She hissed.

“Deity! Long time not see…” Enji forcibly chuckled as he held Deitys’ wrist, just in case she decided to actually hurt him.

“Answer me” Deity scowled, as she pressed the hair pin down, not hard enough to penetrate, but enough to dent against the skin. Enji gulped, his adam apple bobbing as he stared up at her.

“Did what to who?” Enji asked, trying to calm her down, though his voice was tainted with some curiosity.

“Vinny, what did you do to him?” She threatened him with the hairpin once more, it was a really sharp hairpin.

“I haven’t done anything! I actually came in here to laugh at him, since some of his friends found out about me!” Enji answered, there was truth to his voice and fear.

“You’re lying about something about one thing in that sentence” Deity spoke, as she lifted the hairpin, about to stab it back down, though it was clearly a bluff.

“I-I swear I haven’t done anything to him! I just came back to get a photo he took!” Enji answered frantically as he turned his head away and shut his eyes, seemingly bracing for impact.

“Photo…?” Deity spoke quietly as she lowered the hairpin and let go of the collar of Enjis’ shirt. Enjis’ cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

“Yes a photo” Enji confirmed as he fixed his shirt. “I haven’t done anything to Vinny, and I refuse to fight you or even scratch…Shanni would kill me…” he muttered the last part.

“Then what I have you been doing?” Deity questioned, as she put the hairpin back in her hair.

“Photo book…” Enji answered as he looked at the ground.

“So that’s why you were here before” Deity spoke, Enji nodded slightly. “Are you sure you don’t know what happened to Vinny? What about Rida?”

“I swear on my life” Enji answered, “Not sure about Rida…he’s been really busy lately” he added.

“Very well…i believe you dear…” Deity sighed in defeat as she sat on the bed.

“I’m sure he’ll turn up eventually, he’s annoyingly persistent” Enji spoke, “Anyways best I be off” as he walked to the windowsill.

“The photo’s in my room…Vinny showed me it…” Deity confessed, as she rubbed her temples, Enji stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.

“Thank you…” Enji whispered as he reached for the enchanted mirror.

“Take care of yourself…for Shanni” she added.

“I will…and I have been…” Enji chuckled as he smiled ss her before throwing the mirror in the air and letting it fall back down. “I’ll see you around someday” he spoke, before disappearing.

Deity let out a shaky sigh, Enji didn’t take Vinny…Rida wasn’t clear however. A window wide open, no other traces than faint glowing dust…was all to similar to her…oh how she missed her husband. Even after all these years she still hopes he’s alive…maybe the same can be said about Vinny…

(Enji not wanting to hurt Deity is the cutest thing, cause he would never hurt Shancais’ mother. And Deity still having a soft spot for Enji is even cuter, because she can’t hate Enji, because Shancai loves him. I can’t live without my doomed yaoi😭😭😭)

(I suggest you check out parts 1-86 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

“We can continue in an hour” Shancai spoke up as they began walking down the halls, “You’re not in the best mood at the moment” he added in an understanding voice.

“T-Thank you…” The cameraman answered quietly as he leaned closer to the prince, who was Jay gonna tell? Nya? Wu?

“Enji wanted to be found, he clearly knew Jay was there…if he didn’t want to be found he would’ve told you sooner” Shancai spoke comfortingly as he watched Vinny stare at the ground.

“I’m scared…” The cameraman managed to squeak out as tears began rolling down his cheeks. The princes’ expression softened as they stopped walking and he stood in front of Vinny, placing his hands on his shoulder comfortingly.

“I know…” Shancai began as he tried making the cameraman look up at him, “You have every right to be scared, you don’t need to pretend with me…” he added.

“Why do you do it…?” Vinny whispered as he looked up at Shancai, his eyes glistening with tears. The prince let out a shaky breath hearing this, he hadn’t expected a question like this. There was silence for a few minutes and it was deafening as tension filled the air.

“I…” Shancai spoke as he lowered his gaze, the cameraman clearly didn’t mean to ask that question, but he did and wanted an answer. “I haven’t opened up to someone in years…last time I did was Enji…” he confessed quietly, as guilt and shame tainted with his voice and expression.

“You said you were friends before…how close were you two actually…?” Vinny hesitantly pressed on as he listened intently, while rubbing tears from his eyes.

“Close…I was closer with him than anyone, I trusted him and I lo-“ the prince cut himself out, as his voice quietened.

“Can we go to that room I told you about?” Vinny spoke up, receiving a nod from Shancai, as the cameraman began leading the way. It was a fairly long walk, Vinny hadn’t realised how much he ran after Jay till now. As they reached the room he could practically feel the princes’ guilt grow.

They both entered the room, still as dusty as before. “Why would he come in here…?” Vinny asked curiously as he looked around.

“I am…unsure…” Shancai answered, though it was a lie, but the cameraman didn’t push on as they both searched the room. Vinny noticed a picture on the ground, must’ve fell from the photo book, he grabbed it and shoved it into his pocket, he didn’t know how the prince would react.

“Can we leave…?” Shancai asked shakily , discomfort evident. The cameraman nodded as they both left, closing the door behind them.

“Sorry…for changing this up so quickly…” Vinny apologised, he felt bad, Shancai tried comforting him before, but he just flipped the whole conversation into an interrogation session.

“Hey you two!” A familiar voice called out, Kai? They both turned around, instantly changing their attitudes.

“Hey Kai!” Vinny answered as a smile, plastered its way onto his face, the fire ninja came over.

“What you two up to?” Kai questioned.

“Wandering” Shancai bluntly answered.

“Yea pretty much it, he’s also helping me fight a little” The cameraman added.

“Cool!” Kai answered, “You think one day I can spar you?” He questioned curiously.

“Unless I have a death wish, no” Vinny chuckled, causing the fire ninja to fake pout. “Anyways what are you up to?” He asked.

“On my way to the dinner hall, everyone else is going since it’s like lunch or something” Kai answered, the cameraman looked up at Shancai, they were both silently communicating. The idea of everyone being there made Vinny uneasy.

“Have you seen Jay?” Shancai spoke up.

“Uhh yea…I saw him running, though he didn’t even talk to me” Kai answered, with confusion.

“Right…” The cameraman sighed out.

“You two should come eat” The fire ninja added, Shancai was about to say something, most likely a protect, but was cut off.

“Sure” Vinny answered, causing the prince to look at him curiously.

“I’ll see you two there” Kai answered with a smile as he ran off.

“Are you sure?” Shancai asked the cameraman when Kai was out of hearing range.

“No…” Vinny whined, “Better now then later…Enji wants something from me and I won’t let the others get hurt, because I’m keeping secrets…” he added, guilt continuously gnawing at him.

“Very well…but what he told everyone?” Shancai asked.

“So be it…” the cameraman answered, “They’ll know the truth, they’ll know why I’m fucking crazy” he added as he clenched his fists and stared at the ground.

“What if they don’t ask?” Shancai questioned.

“I’ll try to push off the questions, avoid them, but if it’s more persistent then I’ll tell…” the cameraman replied, as they both began walking down the halls.

“I miss my sister…she’s better at this…” the prince sighed.

“I don’t mind…you’re good at this too, if I want more emotional talks she would be better, but right now I need someone to keep me calm…either way I enjoy talking to you about this stuff…” the cameraman answered with a smile, Shancai looked surprised for a moment.

“Thank you…” The prince spoke up as a small smile appeared on his face.

“Alright then, if Jay hasn’t told everyone and he tries asking me questions I’ll tell him later, explain everything and try making him keep it a secret” Vinny spoke as he tried reassuring himself.

“That sounds like it could work” Shancai answered, receiving a soft nod from the cameraman, “Best we be off then?” He asked, receiving another nod as they continued walking.

The two eventually made it to the dinner hall and entered, thankfully the room didn’t go silent when they saw Vinny, only Jay and Wu were quiet, and they were sitting next to each other. It would make sense for the lightning ninja to tell Wu about this. The cameraman could only hope that Garmadon doesn’t know.

“Hey you two!” Cole spoke with a smile as he signalled for them to sit down next to him. Vinny smiled in response and sat next to him, Kai was on the other side of Cole. Shancai obviously sat next to Vinny, who was trying to ignore Garmadons’ eyes that were fixated on him, with worry and curiosity.

“Where have you two been? I haven’t see you around the palace?” Nya asked as she ate.

“I’m teaching him how to fight” the prince answered, causing the group to look surprised.

“Really?” Lloyd asked curiously, receiving a confirming nod from Vinny.

“Yep, just was a bit curious, and it won’t do anyone harm if I learnt how to defend myself properly, especially in our city” the cameraman chuckled out, it wasn’t a lie, Ninjago was very dangerous and it seemed like there was a new villain every month.

“That’s cool” Cole laughed, “Hey Shancai, I’ve been wondering something” he added as he turned his attention to the prince.

“Go ahead” Shancai responded with a nod, while Vinny tried to ignore the fact that Jay was staring at him, while talking quietly to Wu.

“Would there be anyway to come back to the kingdom after we’re sent back to Ninjago?” The earth ninja asked, “It’s just this place is amazing”

“I suppose there could be a way, though it might take some time to actually make it properly” The prince answered.

“Like what?” Kai asked.

“You may have heard of it, travellers tea” Shancai spoke, receiving an understanding nod from the others. “I can ask my mother if you wish and I doubt this would be the last time we see each other” he added.

“That would be great” Wu spoke up, “Does the kingdom count as a realm?” He asked curiously.

“Not necessarily, it’s just isolated and I assume your city isn’t close” The prince answered, receiving another nod.

“Does the mirror Enji has work?” Vinny muttered, he knew it probably did, but he just wanted to confirm his suspicions, Shancai silently nodded to the cameraman.

“Hey Vinny…?” Jay spoke up, his voice full of reluctance. The cameramans’ heart dropped, try to play it off was the only thing he could do.

“Yea?” Vinny answered shakily, while the others listened intently and Shancai stared at the cameraman with worry.

“Who’s-“ Jay was cut off, by Vinny kicking his leg under the table, desperately trying to signal for him to stop. The lightning ninja looked at the cameraman looked like he was on the verge of a panic attack. “Who’s taking your place at work? You’ve been gone for awhile” he thankfully changed the topic, catching the hint.

“Not sure…” Vinny answered, as he let out a soft sigh of relief.

“Won’t you get fired?” Lloyd asked.

“Maybe, maybe not…” the cameraman spoke, “I’ve worked there for years mainly for Gayle, she’s really pushy and others don’t really stay with her, i’ve done a lot of things that would normally get me fired but didn’t” he added.

“That’s funny” Kai chuckled, “Why don’t you quit?”

“Finding a job when living in a city that gets destroyed every other month is hard” Vinny answered, receiving an understanding nod from the others.

The rest of the time was spent with making jokes and eating, nothing too serious. Eventually Shancai and Vinny left and hanged out in the halls, it wasn’t late but not early either. Afternoon.

“That went better than expected” the prince spoke to the cameraman.

“Yea…I kicked Jays’ leg under the table” Vinny answered, “And thankfully he understood what I meant and changed the topic”

“Your work life sounds interesting” Shancai confessed.

“It is…” the cameraman chuckled in response as they began strolling down the halls.

“Vinny!” A familiar voice called out, right…Jay really wanted to have that talk…the cameraman and the prince stopped turning around. Jay and Wu were coming over, so the lightning ninja definitely told Wu.

“Hey…” Vinny spoke awkwardly as he balanced on the balls of his feet, and rubbed the back on his neck, avoiding eye contact.

“An explanation would do well” Wu sighed out as he watched the cameraman slowly be eaten up by anxiousness.

“Right…” Vinny sighed out.

“I suggest somewhere more private” Shancai spoke up, receiving a nod from the others as they began walking, following the prince.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 74

(I suggest you check out parts 1-73 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Vinny)

The cameraman shivered as he felt the smaller snakes climbed onto him and licked his skin. “Now now…how are you in the palace? I’ve never sssseen you before?” Rushifa spoke as she grabbed a decayed corpse off the ground and tore off its arm before biting into it. Vinny felt like he was gonna be sick, if the smell wasn’t enough seeing that definitely would.

“I-I j-just me and my f-friends-“ Vinny was stuttering like crazy as he held back a gag. He hated it here, he hated everything at the moment…

“Oh you’re even more fun than I thought” Rushifa laughed out sadistically as she allowed a snake crawl up to her ear? Ear holes? Whatever snakes have. Vinny watched as it hissed into her ears, seemingly telling her something. She pulled her veil down before getting really up close with Vinny.

The cameraman was caught off guard by her appearance, she was blind? A scar across her whole face, while her fangs were sharp like daggers, that could pierce through the air. “Your friendssss are coming!” She says to him as her tail squeezes around choking the air out of his lungs while her stinger threatened to pierce his cheek.

“W-what?” Vinny asked worriedly, they couldn’t be here, maybe Willow and Shancai knew how to fight this snake. Rushifa took another bite of the torn arm, her teeth sinking into its rotting flesh before she threw it against the ground allowing the smaller snakes to go after it and satiate their hunger.

“You heard me” She circled around him, “Your ninja friendsss and SSShancai along with that inssssuferable Willow are here! In my domain” She giggled, her voice darkened when talking about Willow, she didn’t seem to like her, “But no worriesss! I’ll deal with them” she hissed, before throwing her veil back on.

“S-Say! We haven’t had proper introductions, w-why don’t we ask some questions about each other?” Vinny asked as he tried to squirm out, but failed miserably due to the tail wrapped tightly.

“Rida wasss right about you, you sssure care about your friendssss” she hissed as she slithered down to a rotting tree stump and sat against it, her tail grip on Vinny loosening ever so slightly, “I suppossse you can ask some questions” she added, as she put her hand up signalling for him to continue, her nails were sharp they were more like claws…

“Uhh r-right…h-how do you know Rida…?” The cameraman hesitantly asked as he took a deep breathe of relief as her grip loosened.

“Me and Rida both dissslike the kingdom, we are not friendsss neither acquaintancesss he asksss for the occasional favour, I decide if I listen or not” Rushifa spoke as she allowed the smaller snakes to climb onto her and wrap around her neck.

“S-so neutral terms?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod from the snake.

“Now I have a question for you” She began, Vinny hesitantly nodded in agreement allowing her to continue. “Why does Rida have his eyess set on you?” She questioned, as she stood up again and circled around him, stopped behind him.

“I…I don’t now…” Vinny sighed before taking a sharp breathe as he felt a sharp claw press against the back on his neck.

“Are you sssure?” She questioned once more as she rested her head on Vinnys’ shoulder while wrapped one hand around his neck.

What the actual fuck was going one? Was all that was going through Vinnys’ mind, he hated being touched like this, “Y-yes…” he shakily responded as he tried to pull away from her touch, knowing very well it was futile. He wanted to kill himself the moment he felt her hand on his thigh…he met some random fucking snake lady in the forest and was now being harassed, who has this happened too before?!

“Don’t be shy” she whispered into his ear, “You were an easy one to convince to come here” she added, as she turned Vinnys’ face to a lifeless body on the ground..the exact body of the servant he spoke to before. Vinny felt disgusted more specifically at himself, why couldn’t stop her? Why was he so weak!?

“L-let me go…” Vinny whimpered out, it wasn’t an order but a plea, he hated being touched like this.

“What would Garamadon think if he found you like thisss?” She asked her voice feigning with mock empathy, Vinnys’ heart ached at the thought of Garmadon, she was right, what would he think? Would he be mad? Disgusted?

He didn’t want anyone else see him like this…he wanted to curl into a ball and die, she chuckled before reached towards the ground and tearing a piece of flesh of a body and pressing is against Vinnys’ mouth, “Eat it” she ordered, Vinnys’ heart dropped and his stomach twisted…he kinda missed Enji right now…

“W-what?” The cameraman managed to whimper our shakily, as he tried pulling his head away from the flesh being pressured to him, surely she must be joking? There was no way he would eat that…or so he thought…

“You heard me, eat it” she repeated her tone harsher as her hand entangled in Vinnys’ head keeping him in place and unable to turn away from the food?

“I-I can’t t-there’s h-how-“ The cameraman began stuttering again, he felt light-headed, where were the others? He couldn’t careless if they saw him like this…he wanted to leave he wanted to be free…

“You will eat it, whether you like it or not” She repeated, as she continued to pressure Vinny. “Eat it…and you and your friendsss may be able to leave somewhat unscathed”

Vinnys’ heart ached hearing that, he wanted to protect them, but what if she was lying? “S-swear?” He asked shakily, “Swear we’ll all leave a-alive? Hardly injured?” He added, desperate for an answer.

“I’ll hardly hurt them…I’ll attack if they attack firssst and have a little fun, but their injuriesss will be none too harsh, but a ssscratch of sssome sortsss” she answered, Vinny let out a shaky breathe as he turned his attention to the piece of flesh in front of him…what it worth it…?

“I-I…” the cameraman stuttered, out a snake hissed something into Rushifas’ ear.

“Time isss ticking, your friendsss are closse” She says to him as she pushes the flesh closer to his mouth, Vinny wanted to vomit, everything here was revolting.

“C-can’t I get s-sick?” He stuttered out.

“We’ll just have to sssee, I’ve done thisss to a certain someone nod she isn’t ill” Rushifa responded as she laughed softly, “Now eat” she hissed harsher than before, the grip of her tail loosened now Vinny was able to move his hands.

Tears welled in Vinnys’ eyes as he shut them tightly before opening his mouth slightly, Rushifa let out a sadistic chuckle before placing it in his mouth. It was disgusting…the coppery taste of the blood mixed with the salty tears of his, he held back a gag, “Chew” she ordered, “And make sure to swallow” she added in a playful tone.

He whimpered as he chewed, he wanted to throw up, he wanted to wash him out out. Eventually Vinny forced himself to swallow, before she fully released him from her tail, he dropped to the ground and sobbed staring at the ground, hoping he didn’t do this for nothing.

A small flicker of hoped burned in his chest as he heard soft muttering of a group of people in the forest and Rushifa noticed it too, staring a Vinny before lifting up his chin, “Best you smile for them” she says to him before planting a kiss on his cheek…that worsened Vinnys’ sickness as he tried rubbing away his tears…no one needed to know what he did…

Rushifa used the smaller snakes to hold Vinny down as she hid in the shadows. He didn’t fight back, he was tired and weak…his eyes widened as he saw Shancai and Willows’ figure followed by the rest of the group, their eyes instantly widened as they saw Vinny as they ran over and tried pulling the snakes away. “Shit! Are you alright?!” Willow asked with worry as she controlled the vines to throw the snakes all away,

“I-I’m fine…” Vinny answered, his voice was hoarse, it was an obvious lie…they all could tell, he was weak and shaky. The cameraman was helped up, everyone looked worried out of their mind, but he was drawn out of his thought, by a demonic echoey laugh, right…Rushifa was still here.

Willows’ eyes widened and she growled in annoyance, she didn’t seem to like Rushifa as much as Rushifa hated her. They all were on guard as they stared around. “She uses the smaller snakes to see us…” Willow spoke to them all, receiving a nod from the others as they drew their swords.

Vinny was surprised…because the moment no one payed attention, Garmadon pulled him as close as possible, Vinny looked up at him, he was so much more worried than the others…his heart ached…

“You made quite a bit of friendsss Willow” Rushifa spoke as she hanged from a tree branch using her tail, the nature elemental was about to attack, but was held back by her brother, “Sssoooo sssnappy”

Rushifa attacked first, hitting Jay with her stinger and falling into Nya’s arms. The rest of the ninja fought back, while Nya stayed with Jay who was slowly using his body function. Willow went over to the two before creating a berry, “Eat it” she spoke as she handed it to him, the lightning ninja did as told and his function was given back.

Vinny was just standing there, Garmadon was just standing in front of him…protecting him…his mind was numb…he couldn’t get rid of the coppery taste in his mouth, but he was drawn out of his thoughts by a loud hiss as Kai slashed his sword against Rushifas’ face tearing the veil and scarring her across her eyes…she was definitely gonna have another scar.

The group watched as the snake retreated into the trees followed by smaller snakes. As they determined she was gone they focused their attention on Vinny. “You sure you’re okay? She didn’t hit you with her stinger?” Shancai questioned.

“Yea…” Vinny responded his voice was monotone and his expression was blank, other than the slightly puffy eyes. The others noticed this, and it seemed to pain Willow the most. Willow began walking one way followed by everyone, he remained quiet he felt like if he spoke he would burst out in tears and throw up.

“Why’d you go here?” Zane asked, everyone looked just as curious.

“Some lying bitch convinced” Vinny grumbled, his tone was filled with hate, everyone seemed surprised by his tone, “I wasn’t going to! But then there were fucking wolves and I had no where else to fucking go!” He hissed, his anger was directed at himself.

“Are you sure you’re alright…?” Lloyd asked as they went back on the path, Willow waited till everyone got out and sealed that part of the forest again.

“I’m fucking fine…” Vinny answered as he walked past them trying to get back into the palace.

“Vinny seriously…what happened?” Nya asked, desperate for a proper answer.

“Nothing fucking happened! Drop it!” He hissed as tears began to well in his eyes again, they were caught off guard by his harsh tone and watched him walk into the palace leaving them jaw dropped.

“Show someone go after him?” Jay asked.

“No…he needs to be alone…” Willow sighed out as she rubbed her temples, the group nodded and slowly dispersed.

Vinny entered his room and fucking ran to the bathroom, he dropped to his knees in front of the toilet and almost immediately threw up, it was so relieving…he felt guilty for snapping at Nya, but they wouldn’t blame him if they found out what he did. He continued to throw up gagging and crying to himself.

Who the hell did he piss off for this to happen?

(I don’t know what Vinny did to deserve me to do this)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 73

(I suggest you check out parts 1-72 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Willow and Shancai)

Everyone had went to go rest up after the sparring they were going to the markets later. “Hey…where’d Vinny go? He disappeared” Willow spoke up to her brother as they walked together.

“I am unsure…though Nya did go somewhere, I presume she knows?” Shancai answered, his sister nodded and grabbed his hand and tugged him towards a different hallway. “Where are we going?” He asked.

“We’re gonna go ask her if something happened, he wouldn’t just leave like that” Willow spoke, receiving a nod from her brother. They continued to walk down the halls before knocking on the door, Jay opened it.

“Oh hey” Jay spoke, clearly surprised to see the two.

“Hey, can we just borrow Nya for a second?” Nya asked as she peeked the in the room and looked at Nya who was laying on the bed.

“Uhh, sure?” Nya spoke up as she stood and went to the door allowing Jay to go back to the bed and rest there. “What’s up?” She asked as she stood at the door.

“Is…everything alright with Vinny? We noticed he was missing and you also went off…did something happen?” Willow spoke up, Nya let out a sighed as she rubbed her temple and her expression softened.

“Yea…he just has a lot on his mind” Nya replied, she didn’t know Shancai and Willow knew about Vinnys’ relationship with Garmadon.

“Should we check on him?” Shancai asked.

“I…don’t think so…he really wants to be alone” Nya answered.

“We know about his relationship with Garmadon” Willow whispered just loud enough for Nya to hear, but not Jay. The water ninja looked surprised hearing that and looked back at Jay before turning back and exiting the room and closing the door slightly.

“He told you?” Nya aksed, as the two nodded, “I…don’t know if I should tell you…” she sighed.

“Please we’re begging you” Willow begged.

“I…fine” Nya sighed, “Garmadon…wants a break from their relationship and Vinny isn’t taking it well…” she confessed, causing Willow and Shancais’ eyes to widen.

“H-how was he when you checked on him?” Willow asked, concern etched on her face.

“He…looked like he’d been crying” The water ninja spoke quietly as she looked at the ground.

“He wishes to be left alone?” Shancai questioned, receiving a nod for Nya, “Would checking on him be fine?” He asked.

“Should be…from what I’ve seen he enjoys both your company, might be sleeping maybe” Nya answered.

“R-right…” Willow sighed, “Thanks for your help” she added as she smiled softly.

“No problem…if anything happens, please tell me if you can…and I’ll tell you whatever I can” Nya answered.

“We will, I swear” Willow spoke.

“Bye…” Nya spoke softly as she watched the two leave and wave. The water ninja sighed to herself and rubbed her temples before going back into the room.

Willow and Shancai began making their way to Vinnys’ room, “Well he’s definitely gonna be quiet” Willow spoke.

“As expected…he didn’t seem to expect this to happen” Shancai answered.

“Enji’s…taken a toll on him…” The nature elemental spoke her voice quieter than before, Shancai stopped in his tracks and let out a shaky sigh.

“I know…” He spoke as he stared at the ground, Willow put her hand on her brothers’ shoulder.

“I know it’s hard…” She spoke softly, “Vinny’s gonna find out sooner or later…if you don’t tell him Enji will” she added.

“How am I meant to tell him?” Shancai asked, distress in his voice, “How would he react when he finds out?” He added.

“Shanni…he’d understand…and plus this was when we were kids, you didn’t know what would happen” Willow spoke in an attempt to comfort her brother.

“I could’ve stopped it though” Shancai retorted.

“You and Enji were kids, dumb kids…as much as you hate Enji now you still have some care for him, because he was your friend” Willow spoke her voice more harsh but still caring, “You can’t change the past…” she spoke quieter.

“Don’t remind me…” Shancai mumbled before walking ahead, Willow sighed and went quiet. They walked the rest of the way in silence before reaching Vinnys’ room.

Willow gently knocked, “Vinny? You in there?” She asked, no answer, she knocked again and waited a while, “I’m gonna come in” she called our, before opening the door and looking around.

“Where is he?” Shancai asked, as he stared at the empty bed and empty bathroom.

“Maybe he went for a walk? We can ask a servant if they saw him” Willow suggested receiving a nod for her brother, “I’ll go one way you go the other” she spoke as she exited the room and closed the door.

“I’ll see if his friends have seen him” Shancai spoke as he walked one direction while Willow went the other.

As Willow walked near the exit to the garden, she saw a group of servants, “H-hey, sorry for bothering, but have you seen a man here?” She asked one.

“Uhh yes yes, he was staring at the garden” one spoke with brown hair.

“And someone we didn’t recognise spoke to him, she had bangs that covered her eyes” Another spoke with blonde hair spoke, Willow’s heart dropped.

“D-did he go in the garden?” Willow questioned.

“Yes, he’s been there for a while, is everything alright?” Another with black hair spoke.

“Y-yea…everything’s fine…” Willow replied, “C-can you make sure no goes in the garden at all for me?” She requested.

“Of course” they spoke in unison.

“Thanks you” Willow spoke shakily, before bolting off towards the direction her brother went, she went down hall after hall, before finally spotting her brother, with Kai, Lloyd, Zane and Pixal. “Shanni!” Willow called out as she ran towards her brother.

“What? Did something happen? Are you hurt?” Shan is asked with worry as he made sure his sister wasn’t hurt.

“I-I’m fine” Willow spoke as she began to catch her breathe.

“Then what happened? You look like you ran across the whole palace” Kai spoke.

“I-I think he went into Rushifa’s part of the forest!” The nature elemental blurted out to her brother, her face was red from the running, she was taking deep breathes and she looked scared really scared. As Shancai heard those words his heart dropped. “I-if he went in there h-he might die!” She added.

“Who’s Rushifa?” Lloyd asked.

“In short words a serpentine with a hypnotic voice and invisibility” Zane spoke, receiving a nod from Kai and Lloyd.

“Are you sure?” Shancai asked.

“Y-yes, I asked people a-and they saw someone they didn’t recognise t-talk to him a-an-and-“ Willow was hyperventilating and Shancai noticed this.

“Calm down…we’re gonna go check…” Shancai spoke softly as he attempted to comfort her.

“What’s going on?” A voice spoke as Wu, Garmadon and Cole entered the same hall as them.

“Vinny might be in danger…” Lloyd hesitantly spoke as he braced himself for his fathers’ reaction.

“What!?” Garmadon hissed, they may he having a relationship break, but just as he said he still loved him.

“He might’ve went into the part of the forest I told you all about” Willow spoke to Wu and Garmadon, “And if Rushifa gets her hands on him who knows what might happen” she added, as she allowed her brother to lead them all one way towards the garden.

“Are we all coming?” Cole asked.

“If you want” Shancai spoke, as he summoned his spear.

“I’m gonna go get Nya and Jay” Kai spoke up as he ran towards his sisters’ room in a different hall.

“If he has a scratch on him then so he-“ Garmadon grumbled.

“Calm down…he’s still upset from the your conversation before, seeing you overprotective might upset him more” Wu whispered the his brother.

Kai came back with Nya and Jay, “You’re sure he’s in there?” Nya immediately asked.

“Yes” Shancai spoke, as he went down the pathway into the forest. Willow was terrified.

“She’s relentless…might toy with him till she’s bored and kill him” Willow whispered to her brother.

“Don’t dwell on those thoughts…he’ll be fine…I’m sure” Shancai whispered comfortingly.

As they stopped at torn away vine and shrubs from darker side of the forest, Willows’ heart dropped, “There…we’re wolves too…” she spoke shakily as she observed the bites and tears of the vines.

“There’s no blood though? Meaning he couldn’t be hurt?” Jay spoke up.

“Yes…but he didn’t go back into the palace either…” Willow added as she controlled the wines to create a bigger opening.

“It reeks…” Kai muttered.

“That’s the smell of rotting bodies…” the nature elemental admitted, “If you see one don’t touch it” she added, as she entered.

“T-this Rushifa…is there anything else we should know?” Lloyd asked.

“She had a stinger at the end of her tail…how? I don’t know…but it’ll paralyse you and in rare cases kill you, her having the voice of a siren she can control animals too…more specifically the snakes” Willow answered as she remained on guard leading with ever brother.

“Wow…I wish I didn’t know that…” Jay whined.

“What are the chances he isn’t hurt?” Cole asked, receiving glares from everyone, “N-not badly hurt, maybe a scar or something…he’s a guy with a broken arm…he’s only weapon is a dagger that we don’t even know he has” Cole added.

“Best we don’t think about it, and make sure he comes out alive” Shancai spoke up.

“Uhh guys…” Kai spoke shakily as he picked up torn fabric off a jagged tree branch. “This is definitely new…” he added.

“At least we know he’s here” Pixal spoke, it was true at least they knew he was in the forest and not blindly walking.

This was gonna take some time…

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 72

(I suggest you check out parts 1-71 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny walked and walked through the halls he couldn’t stop, he ignored the stares from some guards and servants and opened the door to his room before closing it before breaking down. His legs gave out as he slid down the door, he couldn’t even get to bed if he wanted too.

Tears streamed down his face as he pulled his knees to his chest and sobbed. Why was it every time he grew somewhat better, something ruined it? It was just a break…right? Why was he making such a big deal about this? Garmadon was right, he needed space, everything’s taken a toll on his mental health.

Fuck…how badly he wanted to kill Enji…how badly he wanted to use the very dagger his hand was stabbed with to gouge Enjis’ eye out…Vinnys’ eyes widened at his thoughts, what was he doing? He couldn’t do that…he would never get close enough to Enji…but how badly he wanted to make him cry in pain…

The cameraman rubbed his eyes as he tried to stop himself from crying, he shouldn’t have walked away like that, someone must’ve saw…Shancai and Willow might’ve saw and they might ask questions, he didn’t want to see anyone, he wanted to be alone, he wanted to scream and cry…but he couldn’t…he wasn’t in control, his body felt numb, he didn’t want to walk off like that, but he couldn’t stop…

Vinny continued to sob quietly as he itched his hand and rested his face on his knew. He breathing quickened as he held onto his clothes tightly, he couldn’t think properly, couldn’t see properly, and couldn’t move properly. He dug his nails into his skin, hard enough to cause pain and draw blood. His body screamed at him to stop, but his mind didn’t listen.

Though there was the faint sound of knocking which caught Vinnys’ attention, he didn’t want to check who it was…but as there was another knock the longer he sat against the door. His body finally listened and allowed him to stand up, he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve before taking a deep breath and opening the door…Nya…

“Hey…” the water ninja spoke softly as she looked at Vinny worriedly noticing his state.

“H-hey” The cameraman replied quickly as he avoided eye contact with her.

“Did something happen? I-I noticed you walk off when Garmadon spoke to you…” Nya asked, her voice soft and caring as she took note of Vinnys’ puffy eyes.

“N-no…nothing happened…” Vinny answered shakily as he held onto the door tightly and tried holding back tears, he didn’t want to think about it.

“Hey…I don’t expect you tell to me about your attitude change recently, but I want to know about your relationship, because it clearly hurts you the most…you can trust me…” The water ninja spoke in an attempt to comfort him, Vinny stated at the ground, before moving to the side allowing Nya to enter the room, which she did, and the door was closed.

“He…he wants a break…” Vinny managed to confess, as he faced his back to Nya and began itching his hand again.

“O-oh fuck…” the water ninja whispered quietly before putting a comforting hand on his shoulder, “Any reason…?” She hesitantly asked.

“H-he said…we-I need space…” Vinny answered, his voice barely audible as he rubbed his moist eyes, “Don’t cry…” Vinny constantly thought to himself.

“It’s a break right? And he still loves you?” Nya asked softly, the cameraman nodded slightly, “Maybe once whatever is bothering you is over, it’ll go back to normal you’ll both be back together…” she added, as she hugged him.

“I-it was just so s-sudden” Vinny whimpered out as he wrapped his trembling arm around her, returning the hug, “I-I started feeling better…” he added quietly.

“And you will get better, he’ll know when you’re better…he’s just doing what he thinks is right…” Nya spoke softly, her expression was soft and understanding.

“D-did anyone see me walk off?” Vinny quietly asked.

“Lloyd and Master Wu…Wu went to ask Garmadon what happened…” Nya confessed, at least it wasn’t anyone else, as much as he liked Willow and Shancais’ comfort he needed some alone time. “If…Garmadon doesn’t tell them what happened can I?” She asked, as she allowed Vinny out of the hug.

“Yea…” Vinny replied, as he sat on the bed, “Just…don’t tell them about how I reacted” he added, Nya nodded in response.

“You want some alone time?” She asked, receiving a nod, “Hey…we’re all gonna explore later, you wanna come?” She added.

“I’ll…think about it” Vinny answered.

“I’ll come tell you when we’re about to leave…” Nya spoke before going towards the door, “Try to relax…get your mind off it…I’ll tell the others you were tired” she added before opening the door.

“I will…bye…” He answered as he watched her waved goodbye and leave, closing the door. As the door was shut, he instantly laid down on the bed and groaned. Man his life sucked…

Garmadon said he still loved him…that’s all that mattered…they didn’t break up at least…Vinny stretched and stared at the roof, maybe he should go to Deity…she seemed busy, maybe not.

He laid in bed and slept for like an hour before waking up disheveled, puffy eyes, messed up hair and red eyes. Vinny went to the bathroom and splashed his face with warm water, “Go take a walk…” he spoke to himself which he did as he took a drink from his water bottle before leaving the room.

As he walked down the hallways, he noticed Willow and Shancai, he quickly walked by not wanting to talk. Vinny exited the palace now in the garden, he did realise that the carpets had pictures of the places which was useful. “Where are you off to?” A unfamiliar voice spoke which instantly caught his attention as he turned to it, a servant.

“J-just going out for air” Vinny answered awkwardly as he stared at her.

“The pathway leads to a area, quite relaxing” the servant spoke, “There is a dark area you have to pass though” she added.

“Right…” the cameraman answered nervously as he stared at the pathway.

“You should go” the servant spoke, as she rested her arm on Vinnys’ hip.

“I’ll think about it…” Vinny responded as he slid away from her touch, it felt weird, he didn’t like it. He quickly walked off into the garden and sat down on the edge of a fountain. He was tempted to find that area she was talking about.

Vinny looked back, the servant was gone, which was relieving he didn’t really like her. He worked up the courage and began going down that pathway. It was fairly nice large flowers and tall trees, but then it cut off into a darker area…she did say to go through it but he didn’t want to…he didn’t really have to check out the place, and it was blocked by vines.

He turned around ready to leave, but heard a howl. “Fuck…” he muttered to himself as he began to run, but his direction was cut off by a wolf and so was the other pathway. “Just my luck…” Vinny grumbled, before he fumbled for the dagger in his pocket, it wouldn’t do much, but at least he had a weapon.

A wolf lunged forward, Vinny managed to get out of its’ way in time, but it tore away some of the vines that blocked the darker area. As the wolves prepared to attack the cameraman managed to squeeze through a small gap in the vines and quite literally ran. It was a mess and it reeked. He turned around, the wolves were still chasing him.

Vinny continued to run, running into vines and flowers, occasionally tripping over roots, till eventually the wolves were gone. “Fucking hell” Vinny hissed to himself, he was in a forest, was just chased by wolves and has a broken fucking arm. This day just kept getting worse…

The sun was blocked out, by large trees and the place reeked like nothing he’s smelt before. He tried making his way back, but had no ideal it was like he was going in circles. Vinnys’ heart stopped as he heard soft hissing and slithering…please no snakes…

“You must be Rida’sss new plaything…” a feminine voice spoke, it sent chills down his spine, must be a Serpentine…but which one? He tried looking around desperate to find where the voice was coming from, but it echoed and came form every direction.

“I-I don’t know what you mean…” Vinny finally answered, he tried to sound intimidating, but it sounded like he was intimidated. Who knew Rida? Why was he called Rida’s plaything?

“Yessss you do ssssilly” the voice spoke again, this time directly into Vinnys’ ear, he instantly whipped around…there was nothing…

“I-I clearly intruded…I’ll l-leave…” Vinny spoke shakily, he didn’t want problems with whoever the fuck this was.

“No no no no” the voice spoke, this time Vinny felt something wrap around his legs and he looked down at it…a tail…it had a…stinger at the end of it…

“W-who are you…?” Vinny managed to squeak out.

“Rushifa” She spoke as she appeared behind Vinny, placing her hands on his shoulders, “I’m here to make your life worssssse than Enji” she chuckled, Vinny couldn’t speak he felt like his voice was gone, this snake, a dark purple, wearing a veil, contrasting between anacondrai and hypnobrai colour pattern, she seemed to be wearing some sort of…crown..made of bones…?

“W-what?” Vinny managed to stutter out, before he felt her tail warp around him, squeezing him tightly.

“Y’know…Rida told me not to kill you” Rushifa spoke, Vinny felt a little relieved, “But I don’t take ordersss from Rida” she added, before a bunch of smaller snakes climbed onto him.

Great, he was gonna die, first thing that popped into his mind.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 71

(I suggest you check out parts 1-70 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

“Is there a training grounds here?” Nya asked, Shancai nodded in response.

“We could use some training…fighting against someone we don’t know due to our new threat” Lloyd spoke.

“New threat?” Willow muttered to Vinny.

“Enji…” The cameraman whispered back, Willow made a ‘oh’ sign with her mouth and nodded.

“How about we finish eating then we can go?” Wu asked, receiving nods from the others.

“Where’s your mother?” Jay blurted out to Willow and Shancai, they both shrugged.

“I saw her earlier…but she was busy with something…” the nature elemental spoke, Vinny and Shancai exchange worried looks, wondering what was up with Deity.

They all finished eating and began making their way to the training grounds. When they went by Deitys’ room Vinny paused, he wanted to see her. “Everything alright?” Kai asked the cameraman noticing he stopped walking.

“Uh…yea, go on without me I’ll catch up, just gotta do something” Vinny answered receiving nods from the others as they began walking again, Willow and Shancai staring as him curiously, Vinny pointed to Deitys’ door and they both realised what he was doing and nodded, then walked off.

Once he was alone, he worked up the courage to gently knock on the closed door. He didn’t hear anything and waited a bit more, thankfully the door was opened and Deity stood there. She looked overworked…was that chest Enji took worrying her that much?

“Morning dear…” Deity spoke softly as she gave him a small smile, it was obviously forced and didn’t carry the same comfort of one true smile.

“Morning…” Vinny replied, “Sorry…for bothering you, I just wanted to check on you” he added, Deitys’ expression softened hearing that.

“I’m well dear, did you rest well?” She questioned.

“Yea…I wanted to thank you too, talking to you helped…” Vinny spoke to her, when he spoke to her, he felt like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.

“It’s no problem dear…talking to you helped me as well” She answered, “Is everyone awake?” She added.

“Yep, we were going to the training grounds, Willow suggested Shancai spar with the others and he took up on the idea” Vinny replied.

“That’s good…” she sighed, “I checked up on you early this morning…you weren’t in your room, but then I went to Shancais’…I was surprised seeing you all bunched up together…” she chuckled.

“I wasn’t planning on it…me and him were up and we must’ve woke Willow up, but she came in and suggested a sleepover…it was really nice” Vinny answered, his expression softened at the thought.

“I also happened to check again and find Willow purring makeup on you two” Deity teased, causing Vinny to blush.

“Y-yea she did…but it was funny…” Vinny spoke through embarrassment.

“Best you be off, before you lose your way” she teased.

“R-right!” The cameraman laughed out as he looked back in the hallway, “I’ll see you later” he added, Deity waved goodbye and watched Vinny run off into the hallway and try to catch up with the others.

Vinny was out of breath as he finally made it back to the others, “Look who decided to grace up with his presence” Kai teased as he allowed Vinny to lean against him and catch his breath. Garmadon looked at the cameraman and sighed, he wanted to talk…but how…?

“Those…” Vinny panted as he pointed to the halls, “Are some long ass hallways” he breathed heavily.

“That’s why you walk in them” Shancai spoke as he summoned his spear and gently bonked Vinnys’ head.

“I had to catch up!” The cameraman answered, “And I was not going to talk to someone to find you all!” He added.

“Idiot” Nya teased, as they all exited the palace into a large area.

“Here we are!” Willow spoke joyfully as she pointed to the area, it had archery targets, hay targets and all types of training equipment.

“Sometimes I forget we’re in a huge kingdom…” Cole spoke as he stared into the large area. They went down the stairs and designated one area to their training.

“Shall we warm up?” Zane questioned.

“Stretch” Shancai spoke, “You two may not pull a muscle” he pointed to Zane and Pixal “but they will” he added as he pointed to the rest who are not nindroids. “You’re not fighting I take it?” He asked Vinny.

“I would pull a muscle with or without stretching” Vinny chuckled, and sat down where Shancai pointed. Wu and Garmadon sat on the side.

“Shanni! Take off your armour, you’re sparring!” Willow begged her brother, Shancai rolled his eyes, before taking off his top armour piece, he was wearing a black compression shirt underneath. Goddamn did he have muscles.

“I do not want to fight him…” Jay muttered to Kai and Cole.

“Agreed…” Kai and Cole spoke in agreement, Shancai rested his armour piece next to Vinny, who just stared at it and tried poking it…never again…that’s heavy…

“How about we just do weapons first?! Then we can have on with you all using your powers!” Vinny suggested.

“That’s wise” Zane spoke.

“Very well” Shancai answered as his eyes scanned his spear for any damages, the other ninja nodded in agreement.

As the ninja finished stretching and warming up, they debated who was sparring Shancai first, “I say Jay goes first” Kai suggested.

“W-what why me?!” Jay answered, clearly offended.

“Cause if you can beat him we can” Cole teased, he was just playing along with Kais’ teases.

“He won’t kill you!” Willow called out from next to Vinny in an attempt to comfort them, “Not sure about hurting though!” She added, she wanted to mess with them.

“He’ll hurt them?” Vinny asked her.

“Nah, I’m just messin’ with em’”Willow answered, causing the cameraman to snicker. “How about you all go at it?!” She called out.

“What?” Lloyd asked curiously.

“You all attack him with weapons!” She answered.

“A-are you sure? Maybe that’s too much” Nya questioned.

“What’s that meant to mean?” Shancai questioned, to him it sounded like he was being underestimated.

“N-nothing!” Nya spoke immediately.

“Sure…we can do it…?” Lloyd replied, causing Willow to smile happily.

“You sure this is good?” Vinny asked.

“I know my brother and his limits…and he knows them too” Willow replied to Vinny.

They all positioned themselves, Shancai in the middle surrounded by the others, Vinny, Willow, Garmadon and Pixal all sitting out. Kai attacked first, lunging forward with a sword, the prince dodged with ease, moving with grace. He used the blunt end of his spear to knock the others away.

As Jay attacked with nunchucks Shancai used the spear head to lodge it in the chains of the nunchucks and pull it out of Jays’ hands throwing it to the side. “Cocky” the prince spoke as Kai attacked again, “Slow” he spoke to Cole, who was using a scythe, “Aggressive” he said to Nya, who growled at him.

“I’ll show you aggressive…” Nya grumbled, Cole managed to grab Shancai from behind using the spear to keep his arms back, while Lloyd put a sword to his neck, they seemed to have let their guard down slightly.

Shancai jumped off the ground and used Zanes’ chest for power as he knocked off it, freeing his arms from Coles’ grip and landing behind him, “Save your celebrations till after all escapes are blocked” the prince spoke as he knocked Jay to the ground and held the spear to his throat.

“Geez okay!” Jay spoke with fear, he didn’t like this, Shancai sighed and got up.

“You spend too much time calculating every possible outcome, remember you don’t know your opponent you’ve never fought me before” Shancai spoke as he used his spear to point to Zane.

“I like him…” Wu muttered to Garmadon, Wu clearly liked his teaching style and how he critiqued their flaws.

“You put too much power in your hits and that slows you down” Shancai spoke as he pointed to Cole, “Too confident in yourself…you don’t know your limits” points to Kai.

“He didn’t kill them…but he killed something” Vinny muttered to Willow who laughed.

“Aggressive, something spoken that you dislike you’re triggered” Shancai spoke and pointed to Nya, “And you’re not confident enough” points to Lloyd.

“Geez…harsh much” Kai spoke, with fake offence.

As Shancai began helping better their techniques Wu got up and began helping as well, they did get along quite well. Pixal joined Zane in seeing how she can better her techniques.

“Gonna go see what he says about me” Willow spoke to Vinny as she got up and went to her brother Vinny nodded. Now it was just Garmadon and Vinny sitting out.

The cameraman tried to ignore Garmadons’ presence and focus on what Shancai was doing, but it failed…because Garmadon sat next to him, “Hey…” the oni spoke quietly.

“Hey…” Vinny replied bluntly, he didn’t want to talk, but he missed him.

“I…need to talk about something…” Garmadon mumbled, his voice becoming quieter and sadder.

“If it’s about my health then no we won’t talk about it…” Vinny sighed as he looked at the ground.

“It…isn’t…” The oni whispered, Vinny looked at him curiously…what could it be about…?

“Alright…I’m listening…” the cameraman sighed.

“I understand…the past few days haven’t been the best for both of us…” Garmadon began, Vinny nodded in following, “I love you…I really do…” he added quietly, the cameraman looked at him curiously…where was this going…?

“What’s wrong…?” Vinny asked, he was impatient, he was scared, nervous and terrified…

“A break…” Garmadon confessed quietly, Vinnys’ heart dropped.

“A-a break? What’s that meant to mean?” The cameraman asked, he needed to make sure it wasn’t what he thought it would be…

“We need a break Vinny…” Garmadon repeated as he stared at the ground, he couldn’t bring himself to look at Vinny.

Vinnys’ heart dropped heading those words, his mind just turned off, “I-is it me…?” He managed to whisper out.

Garmadon immediately panicked seeing Vinnys’ reaction, “N-no…it’s not…we just need…some space from each other, you need space…” Garmadon answered, as he looked at Vinny.

“R-right…just a break…” Vinny breathed out sharply.

“I…I still love you…I do, though having a relationship at the moment isn’t working for us…” Garmadon confessed, it clearly pained him to say all this.

Vinny just nodded, he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t think, he couldn’t move…what was happening…?

“Are you a-“ Garmadon cut himself off as Vinny got up and walked away. He really didn’t know what he was doing…he wanted to keep Vinny safe…but nothing was working…

Vinnys’ mind and body worked in auto pilot as it just walked back inside the palace. Nya, Wu, and Lloyd noticed this and turned their attention to Garmadon, who was looking at the ground rubbing his temples and stroking a hand through his hand.

Vinny just kept walking and walking…where was he going…? No idea…did he want to know? No…all he knew was that his life just collapsed in the span of 3 minutes…

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 70

(I suggest you check out parts 1-69 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

As the night went by Willow stirred awake, she quickly remembered what happened last night and sat up, one of her legs were sprawled across her brothers’ body while Vinnys’ arm was sprawled against Shancais’ chest. Shancai just had his arms wrapped around the two in a comforting way.

“He’s still sleeping…that’s a first…” she chuckled to herself quietly as she looked at her brother. She turned her attention to the window and squinted her eyes as she was hit with a dull ray of sunshine. She quickly turned away and rubbed her eyes. Willow grabbed her phone and checked the time, “8:53…” she muttered before working up the energy to get up.

She made sure to be careful not to wake up the other two, as she made her way out of the blanket fort. She stood there for a moment wondering what to do before a devilish smirk appeared on her face as she ran like a gremlin to her room and gathered a bunch of things into her arms.

She rushed back to her brothers’ room and closed the door behind her. Willow threw the stuff she grabbed into the bed and picked something up…lipstick…she sat next to the two, moving Vinnys’ arm from Shancais’ chest. She did their makeup…being extra cautious on her brother due to his cautiousness.

As the Shancai began to stir awake, he attempted to sit up, but was weighed down by Vinnys’ leg. He looked around and noticed Willow awake on her phone, “Morning” the prince spoke to his sister.

“Morning sleepyhead” Willow replied, “You slept in, it’s 9:45” she added as she teased her brother.

“It is…?” Shancai looked surprised hearing that.

“Yep, no one else is awake though, other than mama though she’s busy with something” Willow replied, as she smiled at her brother.

Vinny began to stir awake, his eyes fluttering open as he stared at the blanket roof and blinked. “Morning…” he spoke as he continued to lay there.

“Morning, sleep well?” Willow asked, Vinny nodded.

“Yea….” He answered, “Sorry…” the cameraman spoke to Shancai as he moved his leg from his body, allowing the prince to sit up.

“All is well…it was fairly comfortab-“ Shancai cut himself off as he looked at Vinnys’ face, Willow however was biting her lip holding back a laugh.

“What…?” Vinny asked curiously, as he looked back at Shancai and his jaw dropped.

“Your face…” Vinny and Shancai spoke in unison, the prince immediately looked at Willow, who was snickering to herself. Vinny however grabbed his phone and went into the camera.

“Holy shit Willow…” Vinny laughed out as he saw his face, Shancai looked at Vinny, who turned the phone towards the prince allowing him to see his face.

Shancai took a deep breathe as he looked at his face, “You can’t deny it’s funny” Willow laughed out.

“It definitely is funny” Vinny confessed as he held back laughter.

“How much did you put on?” Shancai questioned as he touched his face, only to have some foundation pressed onto his hand.

“I have no idea! But you were sleeping so I did it” Willow admitted as she fell back onto the makeshift floor bed and laughed out, kicking her legs.

“Can we take it off?” Vinny questioned.

“Yep! I already took a photo of both of you” Willow teased, causing Shancai to sighed and Vinny to chuckle. “Off to my room!” She added as she stood up, the two men stood up and followed her out of the room.

“You both gotta admit that was a hell of a good sleep” Willow spoke.

“It was unusually comfortable…” Shancai confessed.

“Definitely, it was so comfy an-“ Vinny was cut off.

“What the fuck?!” It was Nya who was bursting in laughter as she saw Shancais’ and Vinnys’ face.

“I-I can explain?” The cameraman spoke awkwardly, Shancai however immediately went into Willows’ room and dragged Vinny in.

“I have pictures! I’ll show you later!” Willow called out to Nya, who gave her an approving nod. The nature elemental went into her bedroom and laughed seeing her brother, he was clearly embarrassed by this.

“Did you use all that?” Vinny questioned, as he noticed a bunch of makeup products scattered on her bed.

“Obviously” she spoke as she playfully rolled her eyes and pushed the two into the bathroom and handed them a bottle. “Wash that on your face, scrub it in like really really well” she added.

Shanghai and Vinny nodded as they turned on the water, wet their faces and began using whatever cleanser they were given. “Never do this again…” Shancai sighed.

“Normally I would agree, but it’s fucking hilarious waking up and seeing my face covered in makeup” Vinny spoke.

“See? Someone gets me” Willow spoke as she wrapped her arm around Vinnys’ neck.

“Yes yes…” Shancai rolled his eyes, “We’re all getting dressed…correct?” He added, receiving nods from the other two.

“Then we’re eating, I’m starved!” Willow spoke, “Then I have pictures I need to show Nya” She teased the two.

“She’s never gonna let me live that down” Vinny whined, as he dried his face with a towel he was given by Willow.

“Neither will I!” The nature elemental teased, as she watched the two begin to leave her room, to change their clothes.

Shancai sighed as she closed the door, “She’s nice” Vinny spoke to him.

“Yea…” the prince admitted, “She is, isn’t she…?” He added.

“You two balance each other perfectly…” Vinny replied, receiving a nod from Shancai. “See you for now…” he added as he went into his room, the prince just waved goodbye and went into his room.

Vinny closed his door and stared at the closest, there was a bunch of clothes. The kingdom must’ve had guests a lot, he didn’t really know what to wear, everything was so modest. Maybe the others were wearing clothes that modest? He saw Nya wearing something definitely from here.

He eventually settled on something, it wasn’t too complicated, but it was blue, his favourite colour. And to say it wasn’t comfy would be a lie. All the clothes were so soft and flowey. Vinny was happy when he realised it had pockets and he shoved the dagger into there, then he put his shoes on.

He looked in a mirror and sighed in relief, he was looking so much better. He liked it here…

Vinny took a sip of water from his water bottle which was given by Shancai the previous night. He eventually left his room and saw Willow and Shancai leaning against the wall. Shancai was wearing his armour and his hair in that singular bubble braid while Willow was a shirt with shorts and her hair in a loose braided bun. It was a clear contrast between them all.

“Looking good” Willow spoke in a singsongy tone as she ruffled Vinnys’ hair.

“So are you both” Vinny replied as he laughed and tried fixing his hair.

“I suppose your friends are waiting for us” Shancai spoke to Vinny.

“Would be a shame to keep them waiting” Willow teased.

“I know…” Vinny sighed, he wondered how Garmadon was doing at the moment.

“Oh right! Forgot to tell you, I saw mum talking to your lover yesterday afternoon, after she spoke to you” Willow spoke, as they all began walking.

“T-they were? Did you hear anything?” Vinny questioned, he desperately wanted answers.

“Not really, though I heard love in their conversation” Willow smirked as she nudged Vinny, causing him to blush.

“That’s…sweet?” Shancai spoke awkwardly, causing Willow to laugh.

“What’s funny?” Vinny questioned.

“Sunshine here doesn’t know anything about relationships, he knows basic stuff, but can’t take hints!” Willow teased her brother, “He’s never dated someone, hell he’s never kissed someone!” She continued to tease as she poked her brother.

“Seriously?” Vinny asked, Shancai reluctantly nodded, “How!? Everyone should be fawning over you!” He added, the prince looked a little surprised.

“That’s what I tell him” Willow said, “It’s so painfully obvious when someone flirts with him, he’s smart, but not relationship smart” she added, a hint of sympathy in her voice.

“Enough you two…” Shancai sighed as he rubbed his temple and walked ahead.

“Hey! Slow down!” Vinny called out as he caught up with him, followed by Willow.

They continued to walk down hallways before entering what was most definitely a dining room. Vinny smiled to himself as he saw his friends all sitting there. Most waved, other than Garmadon who just gave him a nod of notice.

The three sat down, Vinny next to Lloyd on one side and Shancai on the other, while Willow was next to Shancai.

“Who cut your hair?” Kai spoke up to Vinny.

“Is it that obvious?” Vinny chuckled, quite literally everyone nodded, “He did” he added as he pointed to Shancai.

“Well you look so much better than recently” Lloyd spoke, Nya however was smirking at Willow who was signalling for her to come over. The water ninja sat next to Willow and laughed out as she saw a photo of Vinny and Shancai, sleeping with makeup on.

“What’s up?” Cole questioned, Vinny and Shancai stared at the table with pure embarrassment as Willow held up here phone. Everyone burst out laughing, hell even Zane and Pixal let out a small snicker.

“That was this morning?” Lloyd asked, receiving a nod from Willow. Garmadons’ expression softened as he saw the picture, it was weird…Vinny was so close to Shancai…he felt weird…he didn’t like it…Wu seemed to have noticed his brothers’ distress.

“Were you all sleeping in the same room?” Wu spoke, but silently speaking on his brothers’ behalf.

“Yea, we were all awake in like the middle of the night, and I suggested we have a sleepover! So we did!” Willow answered, Garmadon felt a little relived hearing that…Wu let out a sigh of relief noticing his brother.

“Any plans for today?” Nya asked.

“Might show you all around the kingdom” Willow suggested, “Though maybe you can spar with my brother? I’m curious about your powers, I haven’t really met another elemental” Willow spoke, it was partially a lie with Enji in the question.

“I don’t see why not” Wu spoke.

“Sounds like a plan” Vinny spoke up, receiving nods from the others.

(Just so everyone knows, Willow is dark-skinned and has white hair like her mother, while Deity is extremely pale and has white hair as well, Shancai is a mix of both, his vitiligo is dark-skinned and pale-skinned with black hair)

(With Garmadon and the others)

As they walked and walked they eventually followed the nice pathway, “How far is it?” Pixal questioned.

“Just down this path, then we’re in the palace gardens” Willow replied happily as she walked down, vines that protected pathway were retreated by Willow as she kept walking.

As the pathway came to an end they found themselves in an large open area, bushes nicely trimmed into stars, roses, violets and all types of flowers were bloomed around.

Their attention was stolen from the garden as a staircase led up to presumably the entrance to the palace. “Is this the kingdom?” Wu asked, receiving a nod from Willow as he went up the staircase followed by the others.

“Fascinating” Zane spoke as he stared at the interior, they continued to walk, but stopped when they saw a wall, with colourful glass mosaic art, Willow realised they stopped and looked back at them.

“Something wrong?” She questioned.

“Who’s in this?” Wu asked.

“That’s my mum, me and my brother…it’s old” Willow replied, as a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the mosaic. It was a woman holding two babies.

“It’s nice” Garmadon spoke as he looked at it, before they began walking again.

“It is” Willow replied, joy tainting her voice as she went down a hallway.

She entered a room and was a bit surprised when she saw her mother and brother with a bunch of other people in the room. “Are these your friends?” Willow asked, receiving nods from Zane and Wu. The ninja let out a sigh of relief as they saw Wu and the others enter.

They all bunched together Vinny stayed next to Shancai, “Introductions would be nice, I’ll start I’m Willow” Willow spoke.

“Oh right! I’m Lloyd that’s Kai, Jay, Nya, Cole, and Vinny” Lloyd spoke to Willow as he pointed to each of them, before turning to Shancai. “That’s Garmadon, my dad, Master Wu, my uncle and Zane and Pixal” he added, receiving a nod.

“This is Shancai, my brother I was telling you about” Willow spoke to Wu and the others she was with, they nodded as they studied Shancai’s unique appearance before Garmadons’ eyes landed on Vinnys’ arm and his eyes widened.

“And this is our mother” the nature elemental spoke happily as she pointed to her mother on the ground who gave them a soft smile.

“What happened to his arm?” Garmadon questioned Lloyd quietly, discreetly pointing to Vinnys’ arm.

“We fell out from the sky” Lloyd replied bluntly, receiving a worried look from his father. “It isn’t bothering that much, he might’ve fractured it” he added, receiving a nod and sigh from the oni.

“An explanation would be nice…” Deity spoke, her voice soft and sweet like honey as she stood up from the ground, the scrolls scattered around immediately rolling up and being placed neatly on a shelf.

Their jaws dropped…she was tall…taller than Riad taller than fucking Garmadon. She would be shorter than Garmadon with 4 arms though, but she was still tall…everyone was surprised other than Willow and Shancai, seemingly used to their mothers’ height.

“You’re tall…” Jay spoke bluntly, causing Deity to chuckle slightly. No one could really protest with his statement. She was at least 6’8 to 7’0.

“I get that quite a lot” Deity spoke softly before she settled down on a large flower, Willow formed behind her. “Now then…what can I do for you?” She questioned.

“I-uhh right…” Lloyd spoke as he stuttered out a bunch o incoherent words, trying to recover from this.

“They need help getting back home” Shancai spoke, Lloyd just nodded a little relieved he didn’t have to handle the embarrassment of stuttering more.

“Where is this home?” Deity questioned.

“Ninjago, you’re highness” Nya spoke, she didn’t know what to call Deity, she was the empress after all.

“Please call me Deity dears…Ninjago you say…I’ve been there before, though at the moment my magic ability is a little limited at the moment, I can get you home just not yet” Deity spoke.

“We don’t wish to strain your abilities” Wu spoke, receiving a soft smile from Deity.

“It might take me a week or so” Deity spoke.

“That’s alright, we’re just thankful for your aid” Wu spoke, his voice relieved they were able to get back home.

“In your time being here, you’ll be treated as guests, any questions you have, you are free to ask” Deity spoke.

“W-we wouldn’t want to intrude” Vinny spoke up, receiving a sigh from Shancai.

“Not necessarily intruding anymore, if you’re considered guests” Shancai spoke.

“Well then it’s settled, Shancai and Willow can show you to your rooms, and if you’re hungry you may ask anyone here, they’ll assist you” Deity spoke.

The group thanked her and they were sent off with the siblings to be taken to their rooms. Vinny was practically stuck to Shancais’ side, there was something comforting about him. Sure he looked cold and intimidating, but he seemed to know about Enji and Rida and despised them.

“Soooo, is Shancai older?” Kai asked.

“Hah! Nope, we’re twins and I’m a minute older!” Willow boasted smugly, Shancai rolled his eyes.

“Older than me, but still act like a child” Shancai spoke, it was clear who was more mature.

“If you’re mother’s that tall why aren’t you?” Jay asked Willow.

“I-I’m not that short!” Willow defended herself, as her face flushed in embarrassment.

“Yes you are” Shancai muttered as he kept walking, Willow just pouted.

One by one, they were given rooms, now it was just Vinny and Garmadon that needed one.

“You okay…?” Garmadon asked Vinny.

“Yea…” the cameraman replied, Willow and Shancai let the two walk as they went ahead.

“There’s something going on between them” Willow whispered to Shancai.

“They’re just talking?” Shancai spoke with confusion.

“My love meter is tingling, they’re definitely dating” the nature elemental spoke once more, causing her brother to sigh.

Garmadon and Vinny asked each other a bunch of questions, making sure they were safe and unharmed.

“Do you two want to share a room?” Willow eventually asked the two, causing Shancai to rub his temples in annoyance.

“N-no thanks…” Vinny spoke as he looked away awkwardly.

“We’d prefer to be separated” Garmadon added, receiving a nod from the two siblings.

Eventually Garmadon was given a room, “I’m staying for the night, the Grove can last one night without me” Willow spoke.

“Mother would be happy to hear that” Shancai spoke, “Now then, I would like a truthful answer from you” he added as he looked a Vinny, the cameraman took a sharp breathe.

“Did I miss something?” Willow asked with confusion.

“He has Enjis’ dagger for some reason” Shancai replied plainly.

“Really? How’d you get that buddy?” Willow asked worriedly.

“I won’t inform your friends, but I could recognise that dagger in a row of a thousand copies” Shancai spoke.

“Geez, bragging much” Willow spoke, “But really bud, how’d you get it?” She asked, Vinny was really nervous.

“We’re not working with them, quite the opposite” Shancai spoke, causing the cameraman to look at him curiously.

“Enji and Rida are the kingdoms number 1 enemies…more specifically Enji, he attacks most, Rida plans” Willow sighed, and Shancai nodded to confirm it.

“Listen…whatever they want with clearly will affect the kingdom in some way…we just need you to tell us anything they do” Shancai spoke, as he put a comforting hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.

“I…they both showed up one night…Rida was messing with my dreams, I went to the bathroom and Enji, he used some illusions to transform into me and haunt me in the mirror, one time he stabbed my hand and foot and he keeps threatening on hurting my friends” Vinny confessed, slightly hysterical.

“They play mind games on you…have they done anything else?” Shancai asked, Willow had a worried expression.

“Y-yea…yesterday, Enji went on a mission, he got some chest from there, though Lloyd and the others got a key from there…” Vinny replied, “And well…he came to me at night and made me get the key for him…” He added, guilt in his voice.

“A chest? I can ask mum if she knows anything about that” Willow spoke.

“Strange…those two have never involved themselves with others unless they didn’t have a plan…Enji would, but not Rida, he’s too cautious” Shancai spoke.

“That day as well, I went out and stayed alone, Rida hanged out with me saying how Enji was getting something that was rightfully his…” Vinny added.

“Wow, this is weird…they definitely are planning something…” Willow sighed receiving a nod from her brother.

“Enjoy stabbed you with the dagger?” Shancai questioned.

“Yea, then another time he was about to hurt me again, but Rida came, he helped me bandage my hand then gave me the dagger” Vinny replied.

“Willow, go tell mother…” Shancai spoke, Willow nodded and ran off, “If there’s anything else I should know then tell me” he added as he looked at Vinny bending his knees to be closer to Vinnys’ height.

“I-I will…I swear…” The cameraman replied, his voice breaking.

Shancai opened a bedroom door for Vinny letting him look in it, his voice hitched as he looked at the mirror, “He can’t get in through the mirrors, I made sure of it” Shancai spoke, causing Vinny to let out a breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.

“My room’s next to yours and Willow’s next to mine…if anything happens come to us or my mother” the prince spoke, Vinny just nodded and watched Shancai walk away.

The cameraman sighed and went in the room, closing the door behind him before dropping on the bed.

Was he meant to trust these people…?

(With Garmadon and the others)

They all just followed Willow, she occasionally brought down tree branches and ate fruit from them. Her was a white and silver like colour with black tips.

“The Ivory Kingdom has never been mentioned in any of my scrolls, it sounds a lot like Shintaro” Wu spoke, as he broke the deafening silence.

“Shintaro? I think I’ve heard that before…but the Ivory Kingdom’s is in it:s own secluded area, my mum’s said it’s been a secret place for years” Willow replied as she looked back at them.

“Your mother…she sounds like an important woman, and you said she could get us back, does she possess of any powers?” Garmadon questioned, he did seem quite curious about this place.

“She’s amazing! Power wise she does magic, and it’s where me and my brother got our eyes and the mark” Willow replied happily, she seemed to love her mother a lot.

“Magic? Dark magic?” Zane questioned.

“No silly! Normal magic, she doesn’t do anything bad unless it’s for a good reason” Willow laughed.

“What’s her and your brother’s name?” Pixal questioned.

“My brother’s Shancai while my mum is Deity” The nature elemental replied as they all continued walking.

Wu and Garmadon were exchanging thoughts through their expressions, still silently talking about the magic part.

A shiver ran down their back as they passed a darker area of the forest…vines blocking the entrance…dead shrubs and trees while a repulsive smell caused slight nausea. It was like night and day between the sides…the lush and lively side compared to the dark, and rotten side.

“What’s…there?” Wu hesitantly asked as he pointed to the area, Willow’s expression hardened as she stopped walking and stared into the dark side. Vines began to cover more of the entrance as she let out a shaky breathe. The change in her behaviour created uneasiness in the others.

“That…is where my enemy lives…” Willow eventually replied, her lively and friendly expression gone replaced with a cold, and fearful expression.

“Your enemy? What’s this enemy like?” Garmadon questioned.

“A snake…part anacondrai and hypnobrai…but she’s blind so can’t really use hypnotism” Willow confessed, her voice feigned with malice and annoyance for this snake.

The rest of the group looked surprised, anacondrai and hypnobrai…that’s a dangerous combo…”This snake…is there anything else important about her?” Zane spoke.

“She has the voice of a siren…listening to it is basically just as worse as a hypnobrai…” She grumbled, “Blind as a bat…her name’s Rushifa…”

“She sounds…interesting…” Pixal spoke.

“But don’t worry! All you have to do is stay out of that area and cover your ears if you here singing…she will eat you” Willow spoke a little awkwardly.

“She doesn’t come out from there?” Wu questioned.

“Not really…she stays in the forest that’s for sure, but there’s idiots so she gets a free meal…” Willow spoke before she began walking again, expecting the others to follow. The others did follow and quite quickly as well.

“I don’t know how I feel about this place…” Garmadon whispered to Wu.

“Me neither…on one hand it seems nice and then there’s places like that…” Wu responded.

“Let’s just hope the others landed somewhere safer than us…” the oni sighed as he thought about Vinny.

“Agreed…I’m sure Vinny’s safe, the others have taken quite a liking to him” Wu spoke in an attempt to comfort his brother. It was true though, the ninja really did like Vinny, who could blame them?

(With Vinny and the rest of the Ninja)

As Vinny trudged next to Shancai, occasionally looking back at the others, who were staring at him worriedly wanting to pull him away from the man, but didn’t. Shancai seemed like a strong person, one that they didn’t know the full potential of yet.

“I’ll have a look at your arm at the palace” Shancai spoke to Vinny, there was no emotion in it, he seemed good at remaining stoic. The cameraman just nodded, he seemed a little relieved to have his arm taken care of.

“Lloyd tell me you have a bad feeling about this guy…because if you had a bad feeling about Vania and not him then there’s something up with you” Cole shouted in a whispered.

“Geez okay, I really don’t like him…” Lloyd confessed quietly.

“He scares me…” Jay whispered.

“He looks…very unique…in a good way” Nya spoke, “But what does he want with Vinny?” She added.

“How are we meant to know? Vinny happens to have the worst luck ever…” Kai sighed, looking at the cameraman with sympathy.

“Which is sad cause he’s a great guy…” Cole chimed in, receiving nods from the others.

They continued walking down a path before entering two large gates…made out of an interesting stone. “Woah…” Vinny spoke quietly as he stared at the gates that towered over them.

A man looked over the gates, “You’re back early Shancai!” The man spoke from above as the gates began to open.

“There’s some people that need to see my mother” Shancai plainly replied as he walked through the gates followed by the others.

“Must be important if you decided to accompany them” Another man spoke from above the gates as well, Shancai just nodded before he continued walking.

They walked through an area which seemed to be the slums, young kids and elderly people waved towards Shancai, and he gave them a warm smile and nod, the only emotion he seemed to show so far.

“So he can show emotion…” Jay muttered, receiving a gentle hit on the head from Nya.

Vinny seemed surprised as they walked through most likely the markets, stalls upon stalls stood next to each other as people held out their merchandise while buyers attempted to bargain with the owners.

Everyone seemed to have some jewels with them, whether it be diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or rubies, everyone in the market seemed to have one…though there was something that was used to buy merchandise…is was a red gem…not quite a ruby. But it was a currency, and it seemed familiar reminding Vinny of the gems on Shancais’ spear.

The cameraman was a bit surprised as he bumped into Shancai’s arm which was in front of him, stopping him from walking. Vinny was going to question him before he saw a bunch of kids run by with what seemed to be a new kite.

“This place is amazing…” Cole spoke happily as he laid his eyes on a food stall, only then did he realise how fucking hungry he was, so did the others. Especially Vinny, he regretted skipping breakfast this morning.

“Once we get to the palace and inform my mother of your predicament, I’ll have some food prepared” Shancai spoke as he continued walking.

“A-are you sure? We couldn’t possibly, it’s nice enough you’re helping us” Lloyd spoke, as Cole, Jay and Kai glared at him, they really didn’t want Lloyd ruin their chances of food.

“It isn’t necessarily a problem” Shancai spoke, “I am unaware if my mother can even help you get back, though the palace would be open for you all to rest” he added.

“T-thanks…” They all spoke.

Shancai reached a palace…and hell was it pretty…large black tinted windows occasionally placed, multiple guards protecting the place and as they entered long hallways, with white and red curtains draped across the windows while the same colour palette for the carpets. Rooms upon rooms, as what seemed like servants chattered happily as they worked.

“This place is huge…” Kai spoke in amazement, his voice echoing in the halls.

Vinny was just as amazed and occasionally looked up at Shancai, he would sometimes receive a nod of acknowledgment before his eyes flicked back down to Vinnys’ arm.

“Does it hurt?” Shancai questioned Vinny as they walked.

“A little…only when I move it, I can’t really straighten it without pain…” The cameraman responded.

“Most likely a fracture then, keep it still just incase, if it snaps then it’ll be much worse” Shancai responded, receiving a nod from Vinny.

As they entered a room…a woman…sitting on the ground…scrolls thrown across the floor as she read over things. She was quite beautiful…floor long white hair that flowed down before fading away at the ends, black scleras and silver irises just like her son, she had the Yang sign on her right cheek, while she worse a robe with clouds and stars on the end of it as her hair covered her body.

“Mother…”Shancai spoke softly, affection and worry tainting his voice as he bowed down.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 63

(I suggest you check out parts 1-62 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Vinny and the others)

They all walked through the forest, Vinny avoiding eye contact with everyone. The guilt he felt knowing he was the reason they were all was overbearing, to him he deserved whatever happened to his arm.

Kai seemed to notice the cameraman who was trapped in thought and walked next to him, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “You look blue buddy, what’s on your mind?” He questioned.

“Of course he’s upset Kai, his arm’s probably broken” Jay spoke, as he rolled his eyes.

“Shut up Jay” The fire ninja replied bluntly. It was a normal response to Jay, he would randomly tell Jay to shut up even when he wasn’t talking.

“Enough you two” Nya sighed as she watched her lover and brother squabble like toddlers.

“Alright alright…back to the questions, is anything on your mind?” Kai as Vinny who was looking away, avoiding eye contact.

“I…not really…just worried about the others…” Vinny spoke timidly as he looked at the ground, it wasn’t really a lie, he was concerned for the others, but he was mad at himself for being an idiot.

“They’re strong, if we managed to be safe this long, they’ll be perfectly fine” Lloyd spoke, “They have most of the brains of our group, other than Nya” he added, causing the water ninja to smile at the compliment.

“We can be smart” Cole spoke, Jay and Kai nodded in agreement.

“Sure you can” Nya spoke sarcastically as she rolled his eyes, causing Vinny to chuckle softly.

“When we get back we’re playing video games…” Jay spoke.

“Definitely” Cole and Kai spoke in unison.

“I still need to reorganise my side of the room” Nya groaned, causing Jay to snicker.

“Should’ve got it done when I did” The lightning ninja teased, receiving a glare from Nya.

“I swear whoever that guy from yesterday was in already a p-“ Kai was cut off as a spear flew by his face, narrowly missing him.

“What the…?” Vinny muttered as he and the others turned around to the spear which was lodged in a tree. Before they could say anything, there was two bangs on the ground that sounded like metal, and the spear exploded.

The cameraman stumbled back and fell onto the ground, his dagger falling out of his pocket, down next to him. The others managed to stay standing. Lloyd crouched near Vinny, holding his arm to help him stand up.

“Who’s there!?” Cole shouted as he banged his fists together, triggering his earth punch. Kai formed a fireball while Jay and Nya pulled out their swords.

As Lloyd began helping Vinny up, he was cut off by a harsh kick to his chest as he was knocked back into Nya, she thankfully caught him and lessened the impact. The cameraman stared back at Lloyd worriedly, but was given a thumbs up from in for comfort.

Vinny looked back in front of him, he took a sharp breathe as he felt cold metal pressed against his neck. It was a spear, which led up to a man…a cold, emotionless expression on his face…

The man was intimidating…black scleras with silver irises that pierced anyones soul just by looking at him, in this case…Vinnys’ soul…scars across his face…not as much as Rida though…a yin sign on his left cheek,…two different skin tones…vitiligo…as well as floor long, fluffy black hair that was tied up in a single bubble braid.

He wore balloon harem pants, with a short waist cloth, armour that looked like it weighed a ton, hardly any of his body shown other than his face. His armour had a flower like insignia which no doubt held some meaning. The spear had some gems scattered across it’s handle as well as the armour. His appearance was interesting…his most striking features, his hair, eyes and vitiligo…

Vinnys’ trembled as the blade of the spear was kept against his neck, he gulped, his adam apple bobbing as he done so. He noticed the mans’ eyes flick down to the dagger which was laid across the ground, a flick of recognition was no doubt in the mans’ expression, before his expression darkened.

“Where’s the dagger from?” The man spoke, it wasn’t a choice to answer he had to. The ninja watched from behind, Nya working up the courage to walk over and crouch next to Vinny knocking the mans’ spear away from his neck.

“He doesn’t have to answer you” the water ninja hissed as she grabbed the dagger from the ground and gave it to Vinny.

“N-Nya it’s fine, honestly…” the cameraman replied a little touched at the care from Nya, considering they’ve only been close friends for a few days, “I-I brought it from somewhere…” Vinny replied to the mans’ question, it was a lie, but it was what everyone believed.

The mans’ eyes sharpened as he grabbed Vinny by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up, “Lying won’t do you any good” He spoke, his voice hid no malice, no threats…no emotion and neither did his expression.

“What would you know?” Kai hissed from the back, clearly ready to fight whenever anything bad happened, the man just ignored Kai.

“I-I’m not lying…” Vinny spoke, his voice was shaking, did the man know Rida and Enji? Did he work with them? Was all that was going through his mind, he couldn’t deal with another like Enji. He looked up at the man, his expression begging for him to stop with the questions, he didn’t want the others finding out he lied.

The mans’ monotone expression faded for a second into realisation, before he sighed and let go of Vinny, and backing away. When this happened the others immediately bunched together. The cameraman let out a shaky breathe one he didn’t know he was holding once he was let go.

“Who are you?” Lloyd questioned,

“Shancai, prince and sworn protector of the Ivory Kingdom” the man spoke before he helped Vinny get up from the ground.

“Hah…that’s nice, but why’d you feel the need to attack us!?” Jay questioned, his rage not well hidden.

“You aren’t from here, technically trespassers” the man spoke bluntly, as he closed his hand around the spear and it disappeared into thin air.

“Ok cool, so where are we?” Kai questioned, as he rubbed his temples.

“As of now, Ivory Kingdom, if you were further into the forest would be the Grove where my sister protects” Shancai spoke as he dragged Vinny to follow him, making sure not to hurt his arm.

“Where are you taking us?” Lloyd asked.

“My mother, she can most likely take you back to wherever you’re from” Shancai replied as he continued walking, he kept Vinny close, glancing at him every now and then, the cameraman stuffed the dagger into his pocket.

“You’re helping us?” Cole asked.

“For now…if I find out you’ve caused trouble in your time of being here I won’t hesitate to change my mind” Shancai replied, as he gave the others a glare.

They continued walking, “I expect a truthful answer when we’re alone…” Shancai whispered quietly to Vinny causing him to take a sharp breathe and nod slightly.

This man definitely knew who Enji and Rida were…Vinny could only hope this man wasn’t working with them…

(I UNDERSTAND VINNY AND SHANCAI HAD A ROUGH MEETING BUT TRUST ME!!! IT WILL GET BETTER IT WILL GET BETTER!!! Also I love Shancai more than all my ocs…he’s so pretty🥺)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 61

(I suggest you check out parts 1-60if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny turned his attention to the door as Pixal walked out, Zane quickly noticed her, “Is something wrong?” The ice ninja asked, as everyone came around,

“Sadly yes…the key from yesterday is missing, I’ve checked the cameras and the man you all met as well as a masked accomplice were on it” The female nindroid spoke, Vinnys’ eyes widened hearing that, they were bound to find our eventually, but it still scared him.

He did feel some relief when Pixal said to was a masked accomplice, that meant Enjis’ illusion worked. “How’d they get in? The scanner only has a few people registered” Nya spoke as worry creeped on her face.

“I am unsure…perhaps a mask or some sort” Pixal replied.

“Well this is great…we have to deal with that guy and someone else” Kai groaned before receiving a comforting pat on the back from Cole. The cameraman felt terrible, but he constantly reminded himself this was to protect them.

“Did the cameras show anything else?” Wu questioned, the others looked at Pixal, curiously.

“Yes, the man seemed to have vanished after he used a mirror of some sort” She spoke, causing everyone except Vinny to turn their heads in confusion.

“A mirror? Most likely enchanted then” Garmadon spoke, hearing this made Vinny take a sharp breathe. He knew the others were smart, but he didn’t want them to guess it so accurately.

“That would make sense” Pixal replied.

“What time was it when it happened?” Vinny questioned, he needed to ask questions, would be less suspicious that way.

“Around 2:30” The female nindroid replied.

“I got up for water around that time…didn’t see anyone” Lloyd spoke, catching the attention of the others.

“Perhaps they hid” Zane spoke, receiving nods from the others.

“This sucks…” Jay groaned in annoyance.

“Agreed…as much as I enjoy battles, this is too much, that chest and key seem pretty dangerous” Cole added.

“Pixal, is there any chance you could track the energy signal of the chest again?” Wu asked.

“I have already started that, though the odds of finding it again are low” The female nindroid reply.

“I say we train…nest time we see that guy we can defend ourselves better” Kai spoke as he formed a fireball in his hand. Wu nodded and pointed the ninja to the training course, they all went back to training except Lloyd, he sat next to Vinny.

The cameraman let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding, when he saw the others leave. Though anxiety returned when Lloyd sat next to him.

“This is a bit crazy, eh?” Lloyd spoke as he leaned back, Vinny just nodded. “Man…this guy’s annoying me…” he added.

“Agreed…causing problems for everyone…” The cameraman replied.

“I’ll go train a little then come back, alright?” Lloyd asked, receiving a nod from Vinny.

The cameraman was left alone again, he reluctantly took the wrapped mirror shard out of his pocket and observed it again. He made sure Wu and Garmadon weren’t looking, they seemed more focused on criticising the ninjas fighting ability and seeing what they could work on.

He continued to stare at the shard, turning it to stare at its sides, it was definitely broken off something due to its sharp and jagged edges. Though it did have a nice colour tone to it, a extremely light orange and red with a sort of metallic finish.

He took a shaky breathe as it began to warp again, the orange and red becoming darker as it spun around instead turning to a blue and purplish colour. He was curious as to what would happen, when it happened last time he dropped it on the ground and it went back to normal.

The warping continued before it zapped Vinny slightly causing him to drop it in the ground…but when he did…it didn’t stop like last time, it kept going causing Vinny to throw the cloth on it to try and hide it.

To the cameramans’ surprise…the ground beneath everyone turned the same purple and blue colour…“What the fuck!?” Kai shouted as he stared at the ground, everyone was confused and slightly terrified, Vinny was freaking out. If the others found out this was his fault he was fucked.

Without warning…they fell through…they all shouted as they fell from the sky…Garmadon, Wu, Zane and Pixal weren’t there…but they did fall through…that was the least of his worries as they free fell from the sky, Nya managed to hold onto a tree branch before she plummeted towards the ground.

She caught Jay’s hand and held him up, while Cole formed a rock ledge beneath him and Kai…Lloyd on the other hand got it easy and just landed in a bunch of vines.

Vinny however was not so lucky…he wasn’t close to the others so he just fell…and fell and fell…hitting against tree branches as he groaned and winced in pain, before he got stuck in some vines.

“Holy fuck! Vinny are you alright!?” Cole called out from above as he stared down from the rock ledge at where Vinny fell. The others were just as worried as Nya pulled Jay onto the tree and they slowly climbed down all together.

“Yea…” was all Vinny spoke as he just laid in the vines…his left arm hurt…Kai immediately ran over to Vinny as they made it to the ground. He and Lloyd began tearing the vines that trapped him away.

“What the hell happened!?” A very confused and pissed off Jay spoke as he clutched his shoulder which was just hit very hard.

“You okay?” Cole asked the cameraman, he just nodded as he winced and clutched his arm.

Nya gently grabbed Vinnys’ arm and lifted up the jacket sleeve. All their clothes had cuts in them. “If you broke your arm, then so help me” The water ninja sighed, as she squeezed Vinnys’ arm causing him to wince.

“Take off your jacket…we don’t know if it’s broken, but we can make a temporary sling to somewhat help it” Lloyd spoke, Vinny nodded and took off his jacket. Lloyd carefully wrapped it around the cameramans’ neck and kept his arm in there.

“Now we have that done…” Nya spoke, “Where the fuck are we?” She questioned as she and the others looked around, trees and mountains stood tall around them as birds flew by.

Vinny couldn’t careless where they were…he wanted to know if Garmadon was safe…
