We shall be together | Будем вместе (Ninjago)

9 (English version)

Six o'clock pm. The weather was starting to deteriorate again - clouds were gathering over the village of Jamanakai, where the ninjas arrived after a lot of time on the road in Lloyd's car. They discussed that after their plan was completed, they would take the remaining cars. Friends contacted the police, warning them about everything, they promised to come, but only after a while.
- What should we do now? Wait? - Jay asked, not seeing a gang in black in the village.
- They haven’t arrived yet, - Lloyd thought, -We’ll really have to wait. Kai, approximately how many people are there?
- Fifteen, but they are armed.
- So do we! - Cole took out his scythe.
- They have firearms,- Kai took a couple of steps forward from the team, crossing his arms.
-Are you... worried? - Lloyd approached him, but heard only a heavy sigh in response, - Everything will be fine.
- They’re not coming for us, Lloyd, but for Nya, -Kai spoke in a whisper so that his sister and the rest of the ninja wouldn’t hear. - We should have left her at home.
Slowly drops of rain began to drip from the gray clouds, and there was a smell of dampness.
- Maybe it should have been, but... do you think she will let herself be offended? - the green ninja smiled to cheer up his friend, - She’s not little anymore, and she’s not four years old like before. She can take care of herself.
- I know, -  Kai turned his head towards his sister, watching her talking about something with Jay, Cole and Zane, - I just can’t believe it.
- Believe in what?
- They are coming! - The blue ninja shouted.
Lloyd and Kai ran to their friends.
- We take out our weapons, - Lloyd said, and everyone did so, - We’re getting ready for a fight... three... two... one!
The ninja rushed to attack with a gang that worshiped Vorjira. Bad guys had to defend themselves, although they did not understand what was happening, but only up to a certain point...
- Nya, behind! - Jay shouted to warn his girlfriend from being hit by the enemy.
- Nya? - one of the main ones in the gang heard this, - Grab this girl!
- Jay, what have you done?! - Cole rushed to the aid of Nya and Jay too, they did not allow the enemies to approach her.
- Nya,- Kai grabbed his sister’s hand, - Let’s go!
He dragged her deeper into the village away from the men in black. Flashbacks from the past instantly crashed into his head.
- Wait, we need to help the others catch them,-  the water master stopped.
- Forget about it, let’s go before they find you, - the fire master tugged at her hand.
- But we must help detain them until the police arrive. I can handle them myself, - Nya stubbornly stomped her foot, causing splashes of puddles to fly in different directions.
- Now is not the time for courage, we need to go.
- Sometimes you completely forget that I’m not a child anymore, Kai, -  Nya let go of her brother’s hand.
The red ninja stood in a stupor.
- I will help them with or without you, - Nya ran away to the rest of the ninja.
The wind rose very strong, almost completely bending the trees to the ground. Kai was at a loss, he noticed in the window how a frightened little boy was watching all this. Remembering how he did exactly the same thing back then...
Waking up from his memories, he ran after his sister, simultaneously trying to understand how much time he had lost in his thoughts. But visibility was getting worse every minute. I had to cover my face with my hands from the standing dust and rain. After wandering for some time, Kai realized that he could not find his friends. But he continued to search, not paying attention to the fact that he was completely wet and cold.
A little later, he heard a police siren and hurried towards her. A blue ninja appeared ahead of him.
- Jay!
He reached him, but it turned out to be only a policeman in a blue uniform.
- Where are they? - Kai asked.
- Who are "they"? We arrived at the scene, as you asked, but we don’t see the criminals,-  the policeman answered, - The weather is of course a complete nightmare.
The fire master remembered the phone and tried to call, but alas there was no connection.
- Damn it...
He stomped forward, still trying to find friends. It was difficult to walk against the strong wind, but that did not stop him. Suddenly Kai felt someone touch his shoulder, he turned around, but there was no one there. And when the red ninja turned back, he was hit in the face, causing him to fall straight into a puddle. Kai tried to stand up and see who it was, drawing his sword. He saw a man in black. Having fired a couple of fireballs, he stopped - the silhouette disappeared. The ninja was at a loss and even thought that it was just his imagination, but from behind he felt a blow to his back. He fell again onto the wet ground. He was losing control of his body. He remembered only black boots and pain...
