(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.

(With the Ninja before Vinny slept)
"Has anyone noticed Vinny's been acting strange over the last few days...?" Kai asked as he played Prime Empire with Jay and Cole while Zane, Nya and Lloyd were watching.
"Yea...he looks like he hasn't slept properly for a while and I feel like something happened between him and my dad cause the two were barely talking to each other" Lloyd spoke as he looked at Nya who nodded in response.
"Maybe they got into a fight or some shit" Cole suggested as he continued playing. Nya and Lloyd looked at each other knowing they did have a fight.
"About what though? And why would Vinny get in a fight with him?" Jay asked as he paused the game after they finished the level. The three put down the controllers and began paying more attention to the conversation.
"Zane, have you picked on any emotional signals from the two?" Nya questioned the ice ninja who blinked awkwardly, he wasn't meant to tell anyone, and definitely not about the stab wound on Vinnys' hand.
"I have picked on on signals of sleep deprivation, sadness and slight anger from the two" Zane spoke as he tried to lie to the group. They sighed hearing that obviously not liking the condition of the two.
"Why'd he leave so-" Just as Lloyd was saying that Pixal came in. "Oh, hey Pixal" The green ninja spoke instead, Zane looked happy seeing her.
"Hello, are you talking about Vinny?" She asked, Jay nodded. "I must interrupt this conversation, but I have discovered a powerful energy source and Master Wu would like you all to check it out" Pixal spoke softly.
"A mission? Finally! We haven't had a good mission in ages" Kai spoke happily as he immediately stood up and stretched.
"A powerful energy source? Do you know what it is?" Lloyd asked as he looked at Pixal curiously.
"Despite my efforts to discover what it is, they have remained futile for the time being" Pixal replied.
"Strange...then we shall leave immediately" Zane spoke as the others nodded and stood up.
"I'll prepare the vehicles as you all get ready" Pixal spoke before she left the room.
"This is gonna be so fun!" Kai exclaimed happily as he grabbed Cole's hand and ran out, Cole didn't have time to react he was just dragged out leaving the rest of the ninja laughing.
"I bet it's an artifact we're gonna find" Jay spoke as he stood up as well and stood closer to Nya.
"Probably...hopefully it isn't as dangerous as the scrolls of spinjitzu" The water ninja replied to her lover as Zane left the room as well.
"Hopefully...those scrolls were a pain..." Lloyd replied as he began walking out, followed by the other two ninja.
"We should go get ready now" Nya spoke, the others nodded in response and they all parted ways off to get ready for their mission.
After a while all the ninja were gathered in the secret part of the monastery, Garmadon and Wu were there too. "So then, where is the place we're going?" Cole asked as he looked at Pixal who was clicking on a keyboard.
"A place called the catacombs, it's far from here and is like a maze, twists and turns everywhere" Pixal responded as she brought up pictures of the catacombs. The ninjas looked a little surprised seeing the place they were going.
"If we get lost I'm blaming it on Jay..." Kai spoke as he pointed to the lightning ninja, Lloyd and Cole snickered while Nya sighed and Jay looked offended.
"W-What why?!" Jay whined as he pouted, Kai stuck his tongue out, Master Wu sighed.
"Everything aside...you all have a mission, find the energy source and bring it here if safe while not getting lost" Wu spoke, the group instantly paid attention to him and nodded.
"Pixal, are the vehicles ready?" Zane asked, Pixal nodded as she pointed to the different vehicles.
"You all shall get going now before it gets late" Wu added, the group nodded and began getting into the vehicles.
"I'm gonna call Vinny real quick, just so he knows where we are" Lloyd spoke to Wu, Garmadon, who was standing next to Wu seemed to have reacted in some way to Vinny being mentioned. He missed him, and was worried, poor Vinny. Wu nodded to Lloyd who then took out his phone.
A quick phone call later, the group were ready to leave, with one last check of the mission and vehicles they drove off.
(I tried a new writing format let me know what one you like better, also I've been wondering if the story should go into the merge as well, not now but later into the story)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-51 if you haven't already also if you've seen my other post about my own characters,Deity, she hasn't been added yet, but I changed my mind, she isn't 45 and Rida lied about his age in the last chapter, their ages will be revealed in future chapters)
"S-so anyways...what does Enji want from me? He appeared one day and turned my life into living hell" Vinny spoke as he avoided eye contact with Rida, clearly a little startled from his words before. "I think I mentioned this before...but you'll find out in due time...we don't plan on hurting you as long as you don't mess with our plans" The orange eyed man spoke as he returned to his calm state.
The cameraman sighed, "What happens if I do tell someone? Does the ninja know about you two? What about Garmadon or Wu?" He asked Rida, who chuckled softly at the questions, "No no...the ninja don't know about us...and I'm not sure about the other two, they might've heard about me before but not Enji" the orange eyed man replied as he and Vinny continued to walk.
"Why wouldn't they know about Enji?" The cameraman asked as he looked at up the taller. "I have a few things written about me in scrolls" Rida spoke causing Vinny to look at him in curiosity and surprise, "Why? He asked Rida, who chuckled in response and put a finger on his lips, "There is a limit to what I can say" The orange eyed man spoke in a singsongy voice as he gave Vinny a big smile.
The cameraman now confused, whether he should or shouldn't trust Rida. On one hand he seemed kind and trustworthy, but on the other hand...if he didn't want Vinny ask anyone about his past then there clearly is something to hide. "Anyway...should we go to my apartment? I've had enough outside for one day" The cameraman asked, in which Rida nodded.
The two walked to the apartment and made it there eventually. Vinny sat down on the couch and so did Rida. "Nice place you have" The orange eyed man spoke, Vinny smiled in response, before his phone started ringing and he picked it up. "Hey Lloyd...something up?" The cameraman asked.
"Uhh yea... so me and the others and going on a mission, Pixal discovered a high energy frequency so we're all going to check that put, Pixal, my dad and uncle are both staying here in the monastery" Lloyd said over the phone, the cameraman's expression softened hearing Lloyd mention Garmadon. "Alright then...I'll see you later" Vinny spoke before hanging up the phone.
"What did he need?" Rida asked curiously as he looked at the cameraman observing his behaviour. "They're just going on a mission, found some energy frequency" Vinny replied as he fidgeted with the dagger in his pocket. Hearing this caused Rida's behaviour to change, "Energy frequency..." The orange eyed man spoke quietly as he thought.
The cameraman looked at him curiously, "Something up?" Vinny asked, noticing the change in Rida's behaviour. "Nothing...I need to go do something...I'll see you later..." The orange eyed man replied as he got up and left the house, leaving Vinny confused. "Weird...I really shouldn't trust him..." The cameraman mumbled to himself.
Vinny sighed and leaned back against the couch, before looking back down to where Rida was sitting before and noticed a shard...a shard of glass, the cameraman remembered once that Rida told him that he gave Enji a mirror shard that teleported him anywhere. "What the hell...?" The mumbled to him as he looked at the shard and noticed trees in the background.
The cameraman caressed the shard before it starting to swirl. Vinny jumped slightly and dropped the shard, he looked back down on it before picking it up again. He grabbed the dagger from his pocket and carefully attached the shard to it. the shard definitely had some significance and could maybe give some answers later on.
He relaxed slightly and stared at the roof for who knows how long before drifting off to sleep.
i just binged watched the entire lego monkie kid and i gotta say ink Wukong was like the hottest thing along with Macquae(i think i spelt that wrong) and Red Son like im sorry no one can come after me for simping for something with the smallest amount of features like he's so hot.
(I suggest you go read part 1-5 if you haven’t already)( also I ship Kai and Cole don’t come harass me!)( guys forgive me they’re eating in this chapter but I don’t know if it’s accurate so yea)(Vinny wears a glove on his right hand btw and also the purple oni smoke that comes out of Garmadons’ hands burn in my au my rules)(I’d appreciate if you check out my new book it’s Cyrus x Acronix)
“W-what was that for!?”Vinny exclaimed though it was muffled due to him shoving his face into the mattress. “What, am I not allowed to kiss you?” Garmadon replied in a snarky tone. Vinny didn’t respond and kept his face in the mattress he didn’t mind Garmadon kissing him but it was surprising to think of the fact that the dark lord has fallen for a cameraman.
Garmadon let out a sigh before sitting on the bed and picking up Vinny the putting him on his lap. The larger began nuzzling the smallers’ neck causing his to laugh out, “G-Garm stop t-that it tickles!” The smaller giggled out. Garmadon obviously ignored his pleas to stop because he loved seeing the smaller laugh he just seemed so pure.
There was a knock at the door and Vinny jumped out of Garmadons’ lap and went to the door, it was Kai and Cole, “Hey you two, Master wu told us to come here and tell you Zane made food so come out if you want and that after you can train Lloyd” Kai said before grabbing Coles’ hand and walking away. “Do you wanna go?” Vinny asked which to Garmadon nodded and stood up walking towards the door and Vinny following behind.
The two made their way to where the ninja was sitting they had to add some space for the two but that was quickly dealt with. Cole was already stuffing his face with noodles and dumplings while Jay and Lloyd were eat puffy potstickers. The smith siblings were drinking miso soup and Wu was eating some pie and tea. Garmadon and Vinny began eating whatever (no more describing food) “So Vinny I haven’t seen you since like after the end of the overlord, how’s everything going?” Nya asked trying to be friendly because it was awfully quiet at the table. Vinny looked up at Nya, “oh honestly everythings’ been amazing “he replied.
Jay hesitantly asked, “S-so umm…has G-Garmadon ever hurt you…?” After Jay asked that he received a bonk on the head from Nya and literally everyone stared at Jay. “Why would you ask a question like that?” Vinny asked he was looking down at the table and so was Garmadon they really didn’t like this at all. “I-I’m just curious…I mean maybe like when he first came to your apartment and he didn’t know how to act”Jay replied at this point everyone at the table was giving Jay a death stare while Lloyd on the other hand was curious just like the blue ninja.
“It’s fine you can tell them…”Garmadon whispered quietly to Vinny. The smaller looked up at him with a concerned looked before nodding. “There…there was one time..” Vinny said. At that point everyone focused their attention from Jay onto Vinny, they knew it was rude to talk about but they were so curious. “Just like you said it was when he first came to my apartment he was…adjusting..”Vinny said, Garmadon hated remembering it but, he knew Vinny forgave him he’s apologised a thousand times already.
“So one time he didn’t necessarily understand human culture at all and well that made him angry…..he well….grabbed my hand and you know the purple oni smoke….well it kinda burnt my hand….accidentally of course”,Vinny said looking at his right hand which had a black glove over it. Jay felt really bad asking that question now apologised for the sensitive topic. “Is that what the glove is for?” Zane asked to which Vinny nodded. Garmadon didn’t want to speak he felt guilt all the time about the event and now it felt worse.
“Honestly, don’t feel too bad about Kai burns us nearly all the time in training and he accidentally burns himself sometimes” Cole said trying to brighten the mood and wrapping his arm around Kai. Nya and Jay laughed, “Yea that is true, and Cole only trains with him because he wants to spend more time with Kai!”Lloyd laughed out, Kai and Cole turned a bright red as the others began teasing them. Master Wu let out a sigh of relief to see that the attention has been focused away from his brother and Vinny.
Garmadon felt a sense of relief as well but he was still stressed which to Vinny grabbed his hand and began using his finger to trace circles. Wu and Zane both noticed this causing Zane to become confused and Wu to feel happy for his brother. The group eventually finished eating and moved on from making fun of Kai and Cole turning this back into a normal dinner with the group.
“Shall we go and train Lloyd now?” Wu asked the Garmadon then looked at Lloyd. “Very well, but I shall go do something first” Garmadon said before getting up and going back to his room. Vinny began to worry and stood up he was going to take his plate but Zane told him he’ll take it in. Vinny thanked Zane then went after Garmadon to find him sitting on their bed in their room.
Vinny let out a sigh walked in and closed the door before sitting down next to him. “You feeling alright…?”Vinny asked before gently grabbing Garmadons’ hand, “Yea..”he responded. Vinny turned Garmadons’ head to be facing him, “You and me both know that it wasn’t your fault you had no idea what happened you were just angry and confused, I’ve told you already that I forgive you….”Vinny said before pulling Garmadon down and resting the largers’ head on his chest.
“It was ages ago”Vinny said gently kissing Garmadons’ head repeatedly and stroking his hand through his lovers silver hair. The larger sat up the stared at Vinny before kissing him, this caught Vinny off guard and made him blush. “You could’ve asked me for a kiss” the smaller said. “I know but…it’s better to do it when you don’t expect it” Garmadon replied.
The larger stood up the grabbed the smallers’ hand before kissing it the walking over to Christofern and using a spray to water him, “We shall go to have me probably fail at teaching my son at controlling his oni form” Garmadon said before going down to where the ninja were.
“You two shall make an attempt to listen to eachother” Wu said to his brother and nephew

As the ninja made it to their location they stared at the entrance. “That shit looks creepy…” Kai spoke as he created fire in his hand lighting up the cave.
“We’re getting lost…” Jay added as he took a sword from Nya, the group all nodded in response with what he said. They all entered the cave and began searching for this strange energy source. Zane had a sensor to track the energy source.
“Not necessarily…I’ll trace our exact steps and turns” The ice ninja spoke as they walked into the caves. The group let out a sigh of relief hearing that as they followed Kai who was leading the way with fire.
After a while of walking Jay yelled causing the group to instantly prepare their elements as the lightning ninja hid behind his beloved water ninja. “What is it!?” Nya asked, Jay pointed to a wall, there was a skull lodged in it.
“Fucking hell Jay! You trying to give us a heart attack!?” Kai asked annoyingly as he and the group groaned in annoyance due to the overreaction.
“We’ll excuse me for being in a creepy tunnel and seeing a skull!” The lightning ninja replied.
“Enough you two…let’s keep going…I wanna get out of here as quick as possible…” Lloyd spoke as he pushed Kai to keep walking, which he did.
After a while later of following Zane, the tunnels opened up to a massive cavern, ledges and other tunnels surrounded the walls and roof of the cavern.
“What we’re looking for better be in here…I don’t wanna go in those…” Cole spoke as he pointed to the other tunnels.
Zane looked over the place, “It should be…the energy signal is strongest here though I can’t find the exact signal” the ice ninja spoke, earning a sigh of relief from the group.
“Should we just search around here for a while?” Nya asked, the group nodded as they split up and began lifting rocks, searching small holes and checking out the ledges, with the help of Cole, who controlled the rocks to help them up.
There was a crash, and the group all darted their attention to a high ledge, there was man…he seemed to have accidentally pushed a rock. “Whoopsie!” The man spoke in a playful tone. Seeing the man the group instantly rejoined each other, staying close together.
“Who are you!?” Lloyd shouted as he pulled his sword out.
“Wow! That’s not how you greet someone!” The man spoke as he climbed up to another ledge. Lloyd rolled his eyes hearing that and Cole formed rocks beneath the group, lifting them up to the same height as the man.
The man chuckled as this happened before he disappeared and reappeared right behind the group. Jay jumped and hid behind Nya again. “You’re a jumpy one…say! You wouldn’t be looking for someone?” The man spoke.
“In fact we are!” Kai responded as he stood in front of the group, distancing them from the man.
“Ohhh…in that case…we can’t be friends!” The man chuckled as he grabbed a dagger from his waist belt seemingly getting ready to fight.
The man grappled to another ledge this time beginning to break rocks. Just as the group was about to follow they were attacked…by clones? Identical copies of the man occupied the group as he broke the rocks.
They fought back, every time they ‘killed’ one it would disappear into dust. “Y’know you all seem like a lively bunch…buuuut I enjoy messing with you and I have a mission to do!” The man spoke in a cheerful tone.
Zane managed to make it up to the man and held out his sword. The man sighed, “Really? Gotta make everything hard for me? I know I’m gonna get away…” the man paused and grabbed a small chest that had jewels and seemed to be locked pretty well. “With this either way” he spoke.
Zane scanned the box, it was the energy signal, and it seemed even stronger now that it was out. The ice ninja tried knocking the chest out of the man’s hand but failed instead he dodged and pushed Zane, but instead of letting him fall he held onto his hand. “C’mon! Give me a real fight!” The man asked.
“Zane! Just keep him occupied!” Lloyd called out from below as he continued destroying the clones.
“Keep me occupied? No no no…I told you I want a real fight!” The man spoke sadistically as he jumped down, after he pushed Zane. The ice ninja managed to land without any injuries.
“Now then! Let’s play…” he spoke as he lunged towards Cole, slashing his arm with a plain dagger. The earth ninja hissed in pain and Kai instantly came closer to him and held his arm. “Nice arms~? I wonder how they are in bed~” he spoke in a low voice as he attacked Nya.
The water ninja reacted quickly instantly splashing the man with water. “Fuck that’s gross!” Nya spoke clearly disgusted at the implications of what the man said to Cole. “No one flirts with my brothers’ boyfriend!” She added, Kai and Cole blushed slightly, not knowing to be thankful or embarrassed.
“Goddamnit! I just cleaned this!” The man groaned before he got onto another ledge, Jay following after. “Y’know! I would really love to stay and play! But this thing is really important and if I lose it, I’m gonna get my ass handed to me!” He added as he spun the chest on his finger.
The man grabbed the grappling hook from his waist belt, as this happened Jay lunged forward only to be kicked down by the guy. He was thankfully caught by Nya.
“I’ll be seeing you!” The man called before the hooked the grappling hook and was lifted up to a high ledge, he disappeared into a high tunnel.
“Who the fuck was that…?” Kai asked.
“I have no idea…but he’s definitely gonna be a problem…” Lloyd replied.
(part 7 already wooooo anyways check out part 1-6 if you haven't already also Red Son is shorter than Mk)
(TRIGGER WARNING: IMPLIED SELF HARM)
Mk sat down next to the sleeping fire demon he wanted to keep an eye on him in case Macaque came back, "he's loyal to his parents" those words that Macaque said rang through his ears, Mk felt bad he could really tell Red Son tried hard for his parents and by the looks of it his parents couldn't care less about what happened to their son. Mk let out a sigh before grabbing a spare blanket and falling asleep on the couch sitting up of course.
A few hours later Red Son woke up and looked around. There was a clock mounted on the wall and it read 2:30am the next day, "Fuck I've been sleeping for a while.." Red Son thought to himself before noticing Mk next to him. "Is he asleep?" Red Son thought as he moved closer to Mk "Shit he looks hot when he sleeps....stupid noodle boy..." Red Son added. The noodle boy was out cold which made the fire demon let out a sigh, he really wasn't in a talking mood now. Red Son stood up and got up before going to the kitchen for a glass of water. The fire demon filled a cup before drinking, while drinking, Red Son felt a sharp pain in his chest and clutched his chest. The fire demon placed the cup on the counter and pressed his back against the counter. The pain only began getting worse and he dropped down to his knees.
Red Son began panicking not knowing what to do, so he attempted everything he could do to relieve the pain, he took out his hair, took off the jumper and clutched his chest tighter. Red Sons' tail wrapped around him in an attempt of comfort and he removed his hand then realised he was bleeding. The fire demons' eyes widened and he began breathing heavily, Red Son took off his shirt attempting to see his wounds but when he did the pain hit him again. The fire demon attempted to stand up by grabbing onto the counter but failed miserably causing the glass cup to fall and shatter. Red Sons' eyes darted across the room as tears flowed down his cheeks. He heard a muffled voice but couldn't quite make out what it was saying, he was scared and in pain he began digging his nails into his skin trying to ignore the pain but this didn't work.. He began getting shaken and his hands pulled away which somehow managed to bring him to reality and it was then that he realised he was holding a glass shard and was holding it pretty tightly which made his hand bleed. "What happened...?" the fire demon thought he couldn't remember anything.
"Red Son!? Red Son?! Look at me!" the voice said which Red Son slowly realised that it was the noodle boy, "W-What....?" the fire demon stuttered out he was lost and confused. "Holy shit! Are you alright!?" Mk asked his voice full of worry as he stared at Red Son who was shaking and in tears, Red Son sat there unable to move, still in immense pain, Mk must've noticed this, "H-Hey stay here I'll get things to patch you up with" Mk said in a comforting tone before getting up and quickly rushing to his room. Red Son was left alone there, "W-why'd I? Did I...?" Red Son thought to himself he had one big question Why.....
Suddenly Mk came back and sat back down near Red Son with bandages. "Y-you okay firefly...?" Mk nervously asked as he stared at the fire demon his eyes filled with worry. Red Son stared at Mk for a moment before he hugged Mk and began sobbing into his chest. MKs' eyes widened but he quickly recovered from the shock and began stroking his hand through Red Sons' hair, "Shhh...It's alright firefly...cry as much as you want..."Mk said as he gently kissed the fire demons' head. "Wh-why..?" Red Son whimpered out, Mk stared at him, "Why what?" Mk asked, the fire demon held onto him tightly, "Why are y-you so kind to m-me?! I don't deserve t-this treatment..." Red Son sobbed, Mk grabbed his cheeks, "Because I can, and I will and because I'm not going to fucking let you slowly destroy yourself" Mk replied, hearing this made Red Son cry harder, "Everyone's gonna hate you I-f they f-find out..." the fire demon whimpered out, "Well fuck what they think!" Mk replied.
He's only ever felt a close connection with Macaque, but now he felt it again, but stronger he hated all of this...After around 5minutes Red Son began slowly calming down and Mk noticed, "How about I fix you up? Those hurt a lot, don't they..?" Mk said in a soothing tone as he stroked his hand through the fire demons' hair, Red Son nodded in response, Mk stared at Red Son for a moment, "Firefly are the bandages from the fight yesterday or did you....?" The noodle boy spoke up nervously, "From yesterday...I-I've never done t-this before...." Red Son replied he voice was soft and shaky. Hearing that Mk let out a sigh of relief but was also really confused, "If he's never done this before why would he do it now of all times...?" Mk thought to himself as he took off the old bandages which were soaked with blood. "Did you bandage yourself or did someone help?" the noodle boy asked, "M-Macaque did it...he always does..." Red Son replied as he winced before hiding his face in MKs' chest. "Guess Macaque really does care about him.." Mk thought before snapping back to reality.
"Sorry..."Mk said not wanting to hurt the smaller, the noodle boy began wrapping new bandages around the smallers' body and new wounds he inflicted on himself. Around 5minutes later Mk had the courage to ask, "Red...? Why'd you do this to yourself...?". Hearing this made the fire demon tense up to be honest he didn't know why he did this all he could remember was getting up for water then being in pain. "I-I don't know....I don't even remember doing it to myself..." Red Son shakily replied. Mk stared at him worriedly before continuing to wrap the bandages. Mk began bandaging the smallers' hand gently and once he was down he gently kissed his hand in an attempt to comfort him. Eventually finishing Mk offered to make something for Red Son to each but was denied. He couldn't blame the smaller if he wasn't hungry he was probably shaken up from the scenario.
"You wanna go rest now?" Mk asked as he carefully picked up Red Son. "Not tired..." the fire demon replied as he nuzzled into MKs' chest, "You sure? You look like you need the sleep" the noodle boy asked again, Red Son nodded "I just...want to be close to you..." Red Son said , "W-what are you going to do about the mess...?" the fire demon added nervously, Mk looked at the ground, there blood and glass shards across the floor. "I can clean it later, right now I need to stay with you" Mk replied as he carefully took Red Son into his bedroom and placed him on the bed. The noodle boy went to the closet and pulled out a jacket and shirt for the fire demon. He handed the clothing and let Red Son put the clothes on.
Mk sat down on the bed and pulled Red Son into his arms causing him to yelp out in surprise, "You wanted to stay close to me, didn't you?" Mk asked as he brought Red Son closer, the smaller blushed before nodding and hugging Mk. The two began cuddling while Mk stroked his hand through Red Sons' hair.
Not to MKs' surprise Red Son fell asleep pretty easily but couldn't blame him. The fire demon was on his lap fast asleep so defenceless. He softly kissed Red Sons' head this made the smaller smile softly before his tail loosely wrapped around Mk. "My firefly..." Mk said out softly
(Also MKs' Chinese name will be mentioned in the story "Qi Xiaotian")
Ya'll I bet season 6 is gonna bless us with Macaque screen time, because how much his power was linked to The nine headed demon and especially with his powers changing colour. Like season 6 has to be a lot about Macaque and more on his perspective on what Wukong did to him and giving us more insight on his powers and the chains that were on him as well as the fight between him and Wukong because as in season 5 the 100 eyed demon showed Wukong a memory.

As Vinny finished getting dressed he wondered if Shancai was still awake. He hesitated for a moment before leaving the room and going over to the princes’ room. The cameraman stared at the closed door before taking a deep breathe and gently knocking.
He heard some rustling from inside the room and the door opened, Shancai was awake. “Is something wrong?” The prince questioned, there was no annoyance in his voice.
“Just wanted to check if you were up…” Vinny spoke awkwardly, Shancai nodded in understanding before moving to the side offering Vinny to enter the room, “A-are you sure?” The cameraman questioned, the prince nodded. He didn’t talk much, unlike Willow they were like polar opposites, but they were both likeable.
The cameraman entered the room and looked around, it was more decorated than his room, which made sense he was in a guest room. Vinny noticed that Shancai had a shit ton of hair products, some organised while others just put on the dressing table. The prince pointed for Vinny to sit on the bed, which he did.
“Did you bathe well?” The prince questioned as he went to the dressing table and took off the bonnet, placing it to the side, he made sure to hold up his hair so it doesn’t reach the ground. Vinny pulled out the dagger and began fidgeting with it.
“Yea…it was really relaxing…how about you?” Vinny responded, as he watched the prince start to put other products on his hair, Vinny suspected that Shancai didn’t put them in before, because he had to make sure the cameraman didn’t die in the bathtub.
“It was well…do you like your hair?” Shancai questioned once more, he didn’t seem the best at conversing with others.
“Yep, it’s nice, I was gonna get a haircut later this week…but then I ended up here and it just slipped off my mind…” Vinny chuckled awkwardly, the prince nodded in acknowledgment and continued fixing his hair. “You’re hair’s really nice…” Vinny blurted out without thinking.
Shancai paused for a moment, “Thank you…” he finally spoke up, cussing Vinny to let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.
“Do people normally compliment your looks?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.
“Occasionally…not necessarily my body marks, but mostly my hair and eyes…” Shancai answered.
“R-right…so your body marks…not the vitiligo, the patterned ones…where are they from?” Vinny asked.
“I am…unsure, my mother said I was born with them…I’ve never really…believed it…” Shancai replied, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at his arm covered in those patterned marks.
“Should I not ask these questions? I don’t wanna press on if you’re uncomfortable…” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince worriedly.
“You are free to do so…it’s not often I’m questioned about myself” Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny.
“Alright…you don’t have to answer everything if you don’t want to” Vinny spoke before taking a deep breathe, “Was it…hard growing up with those marks? I don’t know much about the kingdom and it’s people…but back in Ninjago people are really judgy…”he asked.
“It was…though I had a friend, he assured me of everything…and he was the closest I’ve ever been with someone I wasn’t related to…. Shancai confessed, the cameraman looked at him curiously.
“What happened?” Vinny asked.
“He…disappeared…” Shancai sighed as his eyes flicked down to the dagger that was in the cameramans’ hand.
“Oh…” Vinny spoke, he was about to say something, but was cut off by the door opening.
“Are you seriously still awake…?” A familiar tired voice spoke as the two turned their attention to the door. Willow…wearing a shirt and shorts as she rubbed her eye from exhaustion.
“Yes I am…” Shancai spoke to Willow who blinked for a couple of seconds before turning to Vinny.
“Are you having a sleepover?” The nature elemental spoke, “I’m hurt I wasn’t invited” she added as he made a dramatic pose, Shancai rubbed his temple while Vinny chuckled.
“We’re not…we were just talking” The cameraman spoke to Willow.
“We should have one, all three of us!” The nature elemental spoke, her exhaustion disappearing.
“I wouldn’t want to intrude and this is your brothers’ room” Vinny spoke, as he looked towards the prince who was putting his hair back in the bonnet.
“It is fine with me…as long as someone actually sleeps” Shancai spoke as he looked towards Willow who smiled sheepishly.
“I’ll sleep I swear!” Willow laughed out as she closed the door.
“Alright then” Vinny spoke as he smiled, Shancai nodded in agreement.
“Shanni! Please I am begging you can we make a blanket fort!” Willow begged her brother.
“Seriously?” Shancai sighed, the nature elemental nodded desperately.
“He wants it” Willow spoke as he pointed to Vinny who was silently laughing at the two siblings.
“Fine fine…” The prince answered, Willow immediately jumped towards the bed and grabbed the pillows and blankets.
“Help me you two” she spoke, the two nodded and did as they were told. Setting the blankets and pillows in ways that made a roof and and soft makeshift floor bed. It took around 10 minutes and then they laid in it.
“I haven’t been able to convince Shancai to do this since we were kids” Willow told Vinny as she relaxed in the blanket fort.
“That’s because it’s childish” Shancai spoke.
“Childish? This will never become childish!” Vinny laughed out, he really enjoyed their company, Willow was the perfect amount of fun and childish while Shancai was the perfect amount of mature and serious.
“See? Even he gets it!” Willow said to her brother who rolled his eyes playfully. “Admit it! You’re having fun!” She begged her brother.
“Alright…” Shancai sighed, “Maybe I am enjoying this a little bit” he added.
“A little bit?” Vinny teased as he laid on his side and stared at Shancai.
“Maybe a lot…” the prince looked at Vinny and corrected himself.
“Yes you are!” Willow laughed before she playfully ruffled her brothers’ hair, only to have her hand knocked away.
“This is the best I’ve felt in a while…” Vinny sighed as he relaxed onto his back.
“With the whole Enji thing?” Willow asked.
“Yea…you two really make me feel better…” the cameraman sighed.
“Well I knocked two birds with one stone!” Willow teased Vinny and Shancai, “You’re both so moody” she laughed.
“Yes yes…” Shancai sighed as he bit back a smile, “Now sleep…mother doesn’t like us staying up” he added.
“Correction…she doesn’t like you staying up” Willow spoke, “Me and Vinny are fine” she added.
“Yea, I slept before” the cameraman teased Shancai.
“Well if we don’t sleep then how would we be able to show Vinny around the kingdom tomorrow” The prince spoke, clearly knowing his sister well. Willow put her hand up to retort, but stayed silent.
“Fine, you win!” She laughed out as she playfully punched her brother.
“Who’s turning off the light…?” Vinny asked.
“Shanni…” Willow instantly spoke, Shancai looked at his sister, before sighing and getting up then turning off the light and laying back down.
“Now we sleep…” Willow yawned as she rolled to her side, the other two nodded and Vinny hugged a spare pillow. “Night everyone…” she added.
“Goodnight…” Shancai spoke in response.
“Night…” the cameraman yawned in response.
Silence filled the room, it was a comforting silence…the sound of the wind gently howling from outside as it entered the room and gently hit against their bodies. Willow was first to fall asleep her soft breathing, then it was Vinny and finally Shancai…
Vinny liked this…he liked this kingdom…he liked everyone he’s met here…they make him feel safe…
(MY FAVOURITE TRIO….these three are meant to be a sibling trio and I absolutely fucking love them…)

The two fell asleep Garmadon faster due to sleeping later. Not long after Vinny began rolling around fearfully. The oni was a heavy sleeper so this didn't wake him up, the cameraman brought his knees to his chest in attempt to comfort himself, he looked like he was having a nightmare. Garmadon had his arms wrapped around Vinny while he slept, but it wasn't as sweet as it seemed to be as Vinny slept.
Here's the thing Vinny had cleithrophobia which is the fear of being trapped (I thought of this on the spot), so his mind took it as being trapped, but that obviously wasn't the case he was just being hugged. He tried to break free of the grip pulling and tugging and pushing but that didn't work, because why would it? He was a simple human being hugged by the son of a god who's way way stronger than him so it was just him feeling trapped. Vinny never had nightmares near Garmadon.
Looking around large walls surrounding him, Vinnys' heart began to pound in his chest. "Where am I...?" He thought continuing to look around. The shaken cameraman put his hand on one of the walls. "Garmadon! Where are you!?" Vinny called out in an attempt hoping this is some joke. "Nya?! Anyone?!" The cameraman said as his voice began to become more scared and shaky. Vinny ran to all four walls trying to break free. "S-Someone, Anyone!? please Let me out!" He called out as his breathing quickened.
Vinny noticed a lock on all the walls. "I'm...trapped...n-no no no no no.........I can't be trapped..." Vinny panicked as he continued trying to break free, the walls, "This isn't real! I-It can't be.....I'm not here..." he whimpered out in fear. The walls all suddenly turned into a jail cell, Vinny was freaking out he hated this, he hated being trapped he hated not being able to do anything.
Vinny rushed around the whole place and felt a little light-headed, and he was breathing heavily as his breathe shortened. "None of this is real....it can't be...!" Vinny yelled as he dropped to his knees. "I'm...not trapped..." Vinny whimpered out as his body tensed. A key.....floating in the air appeared and the shaken cameraman looked at it, Vinny was doubtful about the key and just as he suspected it it disintegrated away. Vinny tensed and stood up,
The place began to shake and the walls crumbled, Vinny tensed and looked up only to be greeted by a rock falling on his head........
Vinny darted to sit up and looked around....he was back in his room with Garmadon...no weird walls or keys, Garmadon was still asleep and the cameraman let out a sigh before looking towards the door. There was a figure there....wearing black and red robes and a mask that Vinny couldn't make out what it was, Vinny tensed seeing the figure, while the figure stared at him, "Smarter than I thought....." The figure said in a distorted voice before walking away. Vinny rushed to get up, 'H-Hey wait" The cameraman said as he rushed to go check the hallway but the figure was gone.
"What the fuck...?" Vinny thought as he sat back down on the bed where Garmadon was sound asleep.
