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

The ninja looked around the cavern for a little longer, Cole sat out, his arm was cut from the mysterious man. “Hey guys! I found something!” Jay called out as he held up a key with intricate patterns that looked like spikes on the top.
The lightning ninja went back to the group and handed the key to Zane who began scanning it. “Dragon bone and Ivory” The ice ninja spoke.
“Dragon bone and ivory…weird” Nya spoke, “Let’s go back to the monastery, we need to stitch Coles’ arm” She added as she pointed to the earth ninja who had his ninja hood tightly wrapped around his arm like a tourniquet.
The group nodded in agreement as they began going through the catacombs again, it took a while but they managed to get back out. “I have never missed the sky so much” Jay whined as he looked up.
They all got into their vehicles and drove to the monastery. “Who the hell was that guy though?” Kai spoke over the comms.
“No idea, but I hate him already” Lloyd replied, they spoke about the man till they made it back.
“Welcome back, did you find it?” Pixal greeted them as he turned towards them.
“There were two things, a chest and key, we have the key…but some weird man took the chest” Lloyd spoke.
“And he cut Coles’ arm!” Kai added, Pixal turned her attention to the earth ninja.
“Best we stitch it up” The female nindroid spoke as she pointed to a chair which Cole sat on. The elevator beeped as Garmadon and Wu came down.
“Vinny’s not back?” Nya asked, clearly surprised, the spinjitzu brothers shook their heads as they walked over.
“Should I call him?” Lloyd asked, but was cut off by the ping of his phone. He looked at it, “Nevermind…he said he’s like a minute away and asked if we’re back”
Garmadon looked slightly relieved that Vinny was coming back, he wanted to keep watch on him as much as possible. Cole winced slightly as Pixal disinfected his wound and began stitching.
“Did you retrieve anything?” Wu asked.
“Yes, a key, we also found a chest but a unknown man took it” Zane spoke.
“Unknown man? Strange…and I take it he done that?” Wu asked as he looked at Cole, they nodded in response.
There was an awkward silence before Nya spoke up, “Did you use that this morning? There’s a roll of bandages missing” the water ninja spoke as she looked in the first aid bag.
The two nindroids locked eyes with each other, they both had a promise to keep.
“Yes…the postman injured himself this morning” the female nindroid spoke.
“Really h-“ Jay asked but was cut off by the beeping of the elevator, Vinny was here.
“Welcome back” Nya spoke her voice slightly teasing, the cameraman smiled, he still had his bag on his shoulder.
“How was it? And what happened to him?” Vinny asked as he joined the group and pointed to Cole, he also hesitantly looked at Garmadon and gave him a small smile. It was the least he could do to show some recognition.
“We found a key…and some guy took a chest and cut Cole! Kai spoke, he was sitting next to Cole watching Pixal carefully stitch him.
“A guy? Really? What’d he looked like?” Vinny asked as he looked at the curiously.
“I can upload it from my memory onto the monitor” The ice ninja spoke as he grabbed a long cord and attached it to the back of his head and began typing things on the keyboard.
The group watched in anticipation, and Pixal finished the stitches. The screen loaded and a very familiar voice played, a voice that sent shivers down Vinnys’ spine as he stared at the man.
“Enji…” Vinny thought to himself as his hair stood up on ends, his hands trembled as Enjis’ voice played in the background from the video, this was bad…the one person he didn’t want anyone know about was getting involved.
The cameraman didn’t seem to notice the bright red eyes staring at him worriedly, to Garmadon he saw fear pure dread, he didn’t want to bring it up, but this man…Vinny clearly knew him.
“How does he make clones?” Jay asked as they continued to watch the videos, “It’s all fake” he added.
“It’s like illusions…” Vinny spoke, he wasn’t technically telling them anything revealing, he was helping his friends.
“That does make sense” Wu spoke.
“Where’s the key you found?” The cameraman asked, Zane handed the key to Vinny you looked at it.
“Best we don’t overthink it now…rest and talk about it tomorrow” Garmadon spoke, the group nodded, it was pretty late.
One by one they slowly left, Garmadon was a little stubborn, but Wu everntually managed to convince him to leave, now it was just Zane, Pixal and Vinny. “Are you alright Vinny?” Pixal asked, the cameraman nodded.
“You’re anxiety levels spiked when you saw the video” the ice ninja spoke, Vinny put the key down.
“Just a little worried about who this guy is” the cameraman spoke before he left, leaving the two nindroids very confused.

Vinny stared at them and took the blade out of his pocket before beginning to swing it around with the sheath on, he doesn't trust himself that much to not cut himself. Vinny found it interesting the way they sparred with each other, they were really good at this. He took the sheath off the blade and stared at it again before noticing the sides were laced with what seemed to be bone? The bone covered the edges and seemed quite sharp, but Vinny obviously being sleep deprived forgot about how sharp blades were and pressed his finger against it, it was really sharp and cut his finger and bled slightly. "Shit..." he hissed in pain.
"Weird...Rida just said it was made with red obsidian...red obsidian isn't white and it isn't this as sharp..." Vinny mumbled to himself as he looked at the blade closer slowly drifting off into thought and becoming unaware of his surroundings. "Where would someone get something like this...?" He thought before deciding to look at the sheath. It was made of leather, which seemed way way tougher than normal leather. It covered the blade but not the handle, and it had orange and red jewels along sliver lining as well as having a star on both sides it was quite pretty.
"Shit! Vinny watch out!" Kai shouted as he accidently sent some of the fire balls that way. Vinny looked up unaware of what was happening and saw a bunch of fire balls headed his way, he didn't have much time to react, and just tried to cover his face while still holding the blade. To everyones' surprise the flame didn't hit Vinny, instead it was absorbed into the blade. "Shit shit shit! I'm so sorry!" Kai repeated as the others ran over to Vinny to check if he was alright. "Are you alright?!" Nya instantly questioned worriedly "Where'd the fire go?!" Jay asked curiously.
"Y-yea I'm fine..."Vinny responded, he was just as shocked as everyone else and continued to hold the blade. "He is correct there is no injury evident and as for the fire, it was...absorbed?" Zane said, he sounded a little confused like the others as to where the flame went. "Absorbed? Into where?" Cole asked, Zane looked at Vinny and began scanning for large amounts of power, his attention was caught by the blade. "My observation has concluded it went into that blade" The ice ninja said as he pointed towards the blade Vinny was holding.
"The blade? How?" Jay asked as he looked at the blade Vinny was holding. "Vinny...can I see the blade please?" Nya asked as she looked at the blade intently. The cameraman nodded and handed the blade to Nya, "It's...sharp and lightweight...Zane can you see if you can find the things int's made of?" Nya asked, which the ice ninja nodded and was handed the blade. As Zane began observing the blade the others asked Vinny questions, "Where'd you get it? And are you sure you're not burned?" Nya asked as she observed Vinny, "I-I don't really remember where I got it, and I promise I'm fine" Vinny responded.
Kai looked back at the blade and observed it, "Do you just keep that in your pocket with no cover?" The fire ninja asked, "N-no, I have it right here" Vinny responded as he showed the group the sheath. Vinny gave it to Kai who deeply observed it, "This isn't made of normal leather" The fire ninja said as he touched it. He learnt a lot from being a blacksmith for some time and when his father came back he learnt from him. "Is it fake?" Cole asked, Kai shook his head, "It definitely isn't fake, but....it's way rougher and tougher" Kai responded.
"Interesting..." Zane said out as he finished observing the blade, "What's it made of?" Nya asked, "It appears to be made out of red obsidian, though that isn't as intriguing, the edges seem to be covered in dragon bones, but they're not normal ones, it reminds me of the dragonbone blade that faith used, and the structure is very much a like it as well, while the handle is wrapped in dragon leather" Zane said, "Wait wait wait, so you're saying this blade is practically the same blade as Faith and is wrapped in dragon leather?" Jay asked, the ice ninja nods in response, "Then the sheath must be made out of the leather too, that explains a lot" Kai said as he handed Vinny back the sheath.
"Really? I didn't know that" Vinny said, "Well...if you didn't have it you would've been burnt?" Jay said out awkwardly making Vinny chuckle as he was handed the blade back, "Well...I think I've spent enough time out here" Vinny said as he stood up and put the blade in the sheath. "Yea...maybe you should go inside before you get burnt by a specific someone" Nya said obviously referencing Kai. "Hah it's fine really....I've had worse..." Vinny mumbled the last part as he went back inside.

Vinny sat there for 5 minutes more till finally getting up, the blade Rida gave him had a cover so he kept that on and slid it into his pocket. "I should avoid Garmadon..." The cameraman thought to himself as he exited the room and began walking around. Vinny wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings that he walked pass Lloyd. "Hey Vinny" The green ninja said out catching his attention.
The cameraman turned his attention to Lloyd and smiled friendly, he was tired but didn't want to show it much and the two cups of coffee helped. "You feeling okay? You looked really tired when I saw you before" Lloyd asked curiously, "Hah...yea just didn't get much sleep last night" Vinny responded before stretching. "Do you know...what's up with my dad? I saw him before and he looked...well sad? And I'm off to go train with him now" The green ninja said.
Vinny instantly tensed, hearing Garmadon mentioned hurt him, he felt terrible for what we yelled at him, but he had to keep him safe. "Umm...n-no...we talked before and he left" Vinny lied as he slid his hands into his pockets and began fidgeting with the blade sheath taking it off and putting it back on. "Not that I know of...you seem in a better mood than before it was probably your two cups of coffee" Lloyd chuckled out.
"Yea probably is was thinking about having another cup" Vinny replied, "Really? I drink coffee and so does the others but no one ever drinks that much, last time we drank two cups and we all stayed up for hours! Jay was so jittery and almost electrocuted us!" Lloyd laughed out in surprise. "Only two!? Geez I could drink four and still be dead as hell" Vinny responded surprisingly.
"You're probably used to it then" Lloyd responded after he finished laughing. "Yea...so tomorrow I have to go back to work...the guy taking my place was hurt so I have to go if I wanna keep my job" Vinny said awkwardly obviously lying but he was taking Ridas' advice about having some alone time. "Really? That's just sad...you'll come back right?" Lloyd responded his voice sounding a bit sadder. "Yea of course" Vinny said.
"Does my dad know?" Lloyd asked, "Umm...no? Can you tell him please?" Vinny asked desperately, the green ninja looked at him curiously, "I guess I can...but why can't you?" Lloyd asked, "No reason...thanks bye!" Vinny responded before quickly hurrying off leaving Lloyd really, really confused.
Vinny continued walking before deciding to go outside, when he went out he saw most of the ninja except Lloyd training there. "Hey Vinny!" Nya called out before dodging an attack from Jay and very 'gently' throwing him to the ground. "Hey" Vinny responded before grimacing at the way Nya threw Jay to the ground. Nya helped Jay up and kissed his forehead, "Sorry about that" She said to the lightning ninja.
"Haha...feeling better? You looked really...sleep deprived" Jay said out with an awkward chuckle, this question made Nya sigh out. "O-Oh yea I'm fine, just needed a cup of coffee" Vinny responded with a smile, Jay looked at him knowing very well how coffee affected himself on top of that Vinny still had black circles under his eyes, it wasn't even subtle you'd be able to spot it from a mile away.
Vinny slid his hands back in his pocket and fidgeted with the blade again, it was relaxing and distracted him. "Do you wanna watch us train!?" Kai called out from further away, Nya and Jay looked at Vinny wanting to know an answer, "Umm...sure, why not? I don't have anything better to do" The cameraman responded receiving a thumbs up from Kai. "Okay, since you're watching you should sit over there because some us send things in random directions" Nya said before clearly looking at Jay who looked away embarrassingly, "Sorry" The lightning ninja chuckled out. Vinny nodded and sat over to where Nya told him, the cameraman could tell that when they started sparring again they were being much more careful.

It was the next morning and Garmadon woke up and by morning I mean 8:31. The oni sat up and noticed Vinny sleeping next to him, he wasn't facing him or hugging, he felt a little sad but let out a sigh. "What's going on with you..." Garmadon whispered to himself as he stroked his hand through Vinnys' hair. Truth was Vinny had only gotten 2 hours of sleep last night due to Enjis' tormenting and how long he was staring at the roof.
The oni stood up and thought it was best to leave his lover alone to rest but he went to the kitchen where he saw Lloyd, Zane, Kai and Wu. "Morning brother" Wu greeted his brother when he realised he walked in, "Morning" The other three said, "Morning..." Garmadon responded before sitting down next to his son. "Will Vinny not be joining us?" Wu asked as he poured himself and his brother some tea and pushed the cup towards him.
"I think it's best he has some space...." The oni replied as he looked down to the cup of tea, "He alright? Is it like yesterday?" Kai asked curiously as he drank some coffee, not all of them knew why Vinny really didn't come down yesterday they just made up a lie that he was sick. "No....just really tired..." Garmadon responded he was avoiding eye contact which was unusual for him and it was obvious he was lying. "Kai, Zane, can you two go somewhere else, I wanna talk to my dad alone" Lloyd whispered to his friends which they listened, "Sure, was gonna go train either way" The fire ninja said before leaving probably to go outside, while Zane nodded, "Pixal does need my help" The ice ninja said before leaving.
"Did something happen between you two?" Lloyd asked as he sat down in front of his father who was still looking down. "Why would you suggest that?" Garmadon replied starting to get a little defensive as he took a sip of tea. "Lloyd does have a point, I've noticed you have been quite distant with him...and no one is confirming he's mad with you" Wu added he knew why Vinny was acting like this but had to keep it a secret due to him trusting him.
"It isn't my fault! He's the one that keeps pushing me away every time I ask him about it!" Garmadon hissed, he really was triggered at what they were saying, he didn't want to be distant to Vinny, he wanted to stay close and protect him and he felt like he was failing at that. "No one is blaming you, we are just wondering if something has happened to him that you know of" Wu replied as he calmed his brother down. "I...I don't know, he's been quiet and avoiding my question" The oni added.
"Why don't you keep bothering him about it?" Lloyd asked curiously, he really was unaware of everything like Garmadon, Wu was told by Vinny what was stressing him mainly because Vinny didn't want to worry Garmadon. "I've tried....he tenses up and his mood changes completely, I don't want to upset him in any way" The oni responded as he drank more tea. "Maybe you shou-" Wu was about to say something when Vinny walked in. "Morning" Garmadon instantly said to Vinny hoping he was in a better mood......he was not in a better mood.
The cameraman looked back at Garmadon, "Morning..." he mumbled in reply before looking at Lloyd, "This is coffee right...?" Vinny asked as he pointed towards a jug, the green ninja nodded. The cameraman looked terrible he had black circles under his eyes and his hair was a mess, random strands poking out guess that's what 2 hours of sleep does. "You hungry?" Lloyd asking trying to act normal, Vinny shook his head and poured himself a large cup of coffee. There was an awkward silence between the four Vinny was drinking his coffee. "Soooo...did you sleep well?" Lloyd asked breaking the silence, Wu let out a sigh of disappointment at his nephews' dumbass question while Garmadon let out a groan. Vinny looked at him in silence and honestly it was deafening.
"Morning! What's for breakfast?" Jay said as he walked in, before looking at everyone and realising they were looking at Vinny, Jay looked at the cameraman who was staring at him. The lightning ninjas' eyes widened noticing how sleep deprived he looked, "Hah...I'll go out for breakfast with Nya instead, fine with you sensei?" Jay said out awkwardly, and Wu nodded in reply while Jay hurried off.
Vinny chugged the rest of his coffee before filling it up again, "I'm gonna be in my room..." The cameraman said before leaving. "Did...did he get any sleep last night?" Lloyd asked worriedly after Vinny left. "Yea...he was sleeping when I left" the oni responded before letting out a groan of annoyance and standing up. "Where are you going?" Wu asked curiously, "Going to make sure he gets some sleep" Garmadon replied before walking back to his room.

A little pose practice in the middle of the night, because sleep is for normal people. And here is Cole and Zane.
Our little robo boy is having mental breakdown on the middle of the night, but luckily he has his boyfriend who will always be there for him😭🖤🤍
I'm kinda skimping for zangst, and it's all because of the @spinchip arts.
It's my fourth serious art, hopefully I'm improving😁
