We shall be together | Будем вместе (Ninjago)

5 (English version)

It was so dark that the stars were almost invisible. The friends were still sitting in the car, waiting for someone to drive by and share gasoline. But for two hours not a single car appeared on the road. And this is understandable, because people rarely came to this village.
- We’re probably going to die here either from boredom or from hunger, - Jay stroked his stomach because he was hungry.
- Jay, say thank you that thanks to Lloyd and Kai, we’re generally safe, - Cole said, sneezing, - It’ll be bad if we still get sick.
- Maybe we should go back? - Nya suggested.
- On foot? In the dark and cold? No no no, in that case I’ll stay, - said the blue ninja.
Then Nya's phone rang.
- This is Kai! - she was delighted and picked up the phone. All the ninjas began to listen carefully to their conversation.
- Nya, where are you? - said the out of breath red ninja, - Are you okay?
- We’ve run out of gas, we’re standing in the middle of the road.
- We’ve run out of gas...- Kai quietly repeated the words after his sister, -There’s no spare gas?
- No. Kai, where's Lloyd?
- Here...we are at home, well, in the blacksmith shop.
- What happened?
- Have you gone far? - the connection was not very good, but in the background, in addition to the voice of the fire master, Lloyd’s voice was also heard.
- Well, not really, but it’s a long walk.
- Okay, we’ll come in my car now, wait, - Kai dropped the call.
- They will come, hurray! We don't have to spend the night here! - Jay was happy.
- Judging by Kai’s voice, he’s very tired, - Cole turned to the others in the back seat.
- If the village was attacked, then there is a high probability that Kai and Lloyd fought with the attackers,- Zane said.
- I hope that everything is fine with them and with the villagers...

Twelve o'clock at night. It was still raining... with thunder. Ninja were alone in the car in the middle of an empty road where there was nothing. Only the light from the headlights gave at least some visibility. It seems like too much time has passed since the call.
- Maybe we should call Kai back? - Jay asked Nya in a whisper, trying not to wake Cole.
- No, I think they will arrive soon...
- They’ve already arrived, - Zane said, looking at the side mirrors of the car.
- Really! - Jay and Nya immediately ran out into the street, not paying attention to the cold drops of rain. They approached Kai's car. Lloyd was driving. He also came out to them.
- Lloyd, what's wrong with you? - Nya saw numerous abrasions and scratches.
- You haven’t seen Kai yet,- the green ninja sadly looked away, - Don’t stand in the rain, you’ll get sick.
- Lloyd! - Cole, who had just woken up, and Zane came out to them, - What happened?
- I'll explain when we leave here. There should be enough room in the car for the two of us, - Lloyd held his injured shoulder, - Cole, Jay, move Kai to my car.
Jay and Cole nodded, they carried the unconscious red ninja, who, like Lloyd, was covered in wounds, and sat him in the back seat. Zane filled up Lloyd's car with Kai's spare gas.
When everyone got into the car, Jay asked:
- So... shall we leave his car here?
- We abandoned not only his car, but all of ours also remained in the village, - Cole said, starting the car.
- Oh, yes, indeed.
- Lloyd, so... what happened? - Nya asked, looking at her friend.
- Kai told me... ahem... that the village was attacked by some group of people in black. They were all armed and seemed to be looking for something. We tried to protect the villagers. When this failed, Kai ran towards the forest, and for some reason all the bad guys ran after him. I don’t know what exactly happened in the forest, because I took people outside the village, but Kai returned alone, saying that this gang would not bother anyone else. We informed the residents about this, and after...ahem...we returned to the blacksmith shop, where Kai called Nya. And then he lost consciousness, and I brought us here.
- It doesn’t become any clearer, - Jay pulled off the blanket he had stolen from the blacksmith’s shop and gave it to Lloyd and Kai.
- This is at least some information. Cole, how long do we have to go home? - asked Nya.
- About three or four minutes.
- There are no serious injuries, - Zane finished examining the red ninja and green ninja, - But it’s worth going to the hospital.
- Then come on, Jay, Zane, Nya, I’ll take you to the monastery, and I’ll take Lloyd and Kai to the city to the hospital, - Cole suggested.
- I must go with you,” the water master insisted.
- In this weather, it’s better for you to stay home,- Cole slowed down near the monastery, - We’ve arrived.
- Come on, Nya, let’s get out, -Jay took her out of the car, and she and Zane hurried to take shelter from the rain and lightning at home.
- How is Kai? - Cole asked, again without looking up from the road.
- He hasn't woken up yet.
- And how are you feeling?
- I've had worse.
- Okay, - the black ninja paused, - What were the bad guys looking for in the village?
- I don’t know, Cole, it seems to me that they were looking for some person. They looked into every house.
- It seems that Kai recognized them, since he immediately told us to run.
- I'm sure it wasn't the first time he saw them.
- What if... what if they were looking for him? - Cole began to speak more quietly.
- You think so?
- What if they came for him purposefully and looked for him?
- And that’s why they followed him into the forest? Perhaps this is true. But why? What did they want from Kai?
- If Jay were here, he would joke about not paying taxes, -Cole drove into the city itself, which at night glowed with all possible multi-colored signs.
At half past two in the morning, friends arrived at the hospital...
