- Nia, don't get me wrong...
Nya looked at her brother, she was still very little and did not understand what was happening. Kai knew this, but these words were important not for her, but for himself.
- Nia, I'll come back for you, just be quiet....
He looked at her, his eyes sparkling with tears, but he couldn’t do anything.
- I'll be back, I promise.
Kai left. At first he hesitantly took a couple of steps forward, turned around and squeezed something in his hands. Nya began to cry. It was cold. It was surrounded by tall trees. Kai looked up, sighed heavily, and then ran away, leaving
sister completely alone. Nya saw her brother's disappearing silhouette. She called him with her cry, but it was too late. She was left alone among the wild, nocturnal and merciless nature. One on one...

- Kai! - Nya wakes up in a cold sweat, abruptly jumping out of bed. She looks at the time, 9:00.
- Did you call me? - heard from behind the door, - Are you all right?
- Kai? Come in.
- Something happened? - the red ninja enters a cozy room and immediately tries to find some problem, but nothing.
- No, no... just a bad dream.
- And you called me for help in your sleep? How nice.
- Rather, I was running away from you,- the water master jokingly elbowed her brother.
-Well, yes, yes, - Kai smiled, - Zane has already prepared breakfast, so we are all waiting for you in the kitchen.
Kai left, closing the door behind him, and Nya was still trying to understand why she had such a vivid dream. Usually dreams disappear from her memories as soon as she opens her eyes, but this... this is the third time in a row that she has dreamed about it. What is this?
- Good morning, -  Nya went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Everyone also said good morning to her.
-You didn’t get enough sleep today? - Jay showed attentiveness.
- Nia had nightmares, - her brother answered for her.
- It sucks, I also often have nightmares that give me goosebumps!
- Kai, Nya, would you like to go to the museum today and help Dr. Saunders deal with all sorts of historical things that were brought from another museum? - said Lloyd, - The others will be busy at this time.
- We don’t mind, - the fire master nodded, - Right, Nya?
- I haven’t been to the museum for a long time...

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the brother and sister arrived at the museum, where they were met by the chief caretaker and historian.
- Glad to see you.
He led them to the room with the boxes and explained what to put where, and he went into another room. Kai and Nya got to work, it wasn't difficult, so they were happy with everything, and it was also a great chance to learn more about the history of Ninjago.
- Nya...- the red ninja suddenly said, causing the water master to twitch slightly, - Tell me, are you okay?
- Yes, why did you ask? - Nya continued her work, deliberately not looking her brother in the eye. She had been feeling anxious lately and didn't know why.
- The last couple of days you’ve been acting strange, constantly thinking about something. This worries me, - Kai, on the contrary, tried to catch her gaze.
- Do not understand what you talking about.
- Are your nightmares connected with something?
Nya remained silent to this question because she herself did not know the answer.
- Nya, you can always tell me everything.
- Kai, I remember, - she finally turned to him. Kai's frightened face slightly frightened the water master, because it was the same as in the dream.
- Nya?
- I’m fine, - she continued her work and wondered what made her react the way she did.
- Okay, -  Kai frowned slightly and continued putting things into the glass cabinet. He saw no point in asking further questions, but he saw that something was clearly wrong here.

At one P.M
- Aren't you hungry? Shall we go to a cafe? - Kai warmed up as they left the museum.
- Let's. I'm hungry, like Cole usually is after an evening workout.
Brother and sister went to the nearest establishment. After placing the order, they chatted and joked about something, as they usually do when they are alone. And everything would have been fine if at one point a man in a black suit had not burst into the cafe. He took out a pistol. Immediately there was noise and panic.
- Who is this? - Nya immediately reacted and wanted to figure it out like a ninja, but her brother stopped her.
- Sit down, I can handle it myself. This is a common thief.
The stranger approached the table where an ordinary family was sitting and took their one-year-old child from them.
- Give the child back to his parents! - Kai put on a kimano mask and took out a sword.
The criminal squinted and shot upward, probably trying to scare the ninja. Everyone around became even more frightened, and the baby began to cry. The fire master tried to take the child away, regardless of the danger, but received a blow from which he fell to the floor, hitting his head.
- Kai! - Nya ran up to him and helped him stand up.
- He's leaving! - someone shouted from the crowd.
- He stole my child! - the woman shouted, and her husband stood at a loss.
- I’ll catch up,-  said Kai.
- Kai, maybe we should call the police? - Nya shook the dust off her brother.
- We have no time. You will help them, - said the owner of the fire and pointed to the baby’s parents, and then addressed them - I will return him, I promise.
Everything happened so quickly that Nya didn’t even have time to notice how Kai left the cafe. Being in a slight shock, she turned around and realized that all the eyes of the visitors were fixed on her, for some reason everyone was waiting for her word. But for the first time, she doesn't know what to do.
The sound of a siren was heard and the red and blue lights of police cars flashed. She looked at the child's parents, who were approached by the police for questioning, and then they approached her, but she did not want to talk to them.
- I have to go, sorry.
Nya ran out of the cafe and dialed Kai's number, in vain thinking that he would answer the call. After a failed attempt, she exhaled, trying to regain her composure, and dialed the green ninja's number.
- Lloyd, urgently come here with all the ninjas...
