Cole shouted and created an earth-colored Spinjitzu vortex, then ran into the side of the cat-creature. Meanwhile, the gray tom ducked one of Lloyd’s energy balls, spun around to the boy’s left, and snatched his leg in its teeth. Lloyd shouted and swung at the cat, which made him lose his balance. The cat let go of Lloyd, and the latter teetered backwards, tripped over the railing of the ship, and fell off with a panicked cry. Nobody saw Lloyd fly off the Bounty and disappear into the clouds, his shout fading off into the distance. The tom watched coolly, looking rather satisfied with itself. Its smug smirk wilted when Nya shot a gush of water at it from behind, drenching it. The cat yowled indignantly, jumped into the air, and then accidentally tripped over the railing—just as Lloyd did—and fell off. Its terrified wail echoed, then drifted off. Meanwhile Nya stood on one of the companionways, watching the falling feline with grim satisfaction. Cole helped Zane fight off the tortoiseshell, spinning wildly in his Spinjitzu vortex and flinging the cat away. It fell head over heels across the deck to where Liana stood, who then swung her nunchucks and pounded the cat in the head with deadly accuracy. The feline, completely dazed, teetered on its paws, stumbled one direction, then the other way, then finally ran into the ship’s rail and fell over it. With a frantic yowl it plummeted from sight. Now only the white-pelted cat remained, and when it glanced back to see that its companions were gone, its blue eyes widened in dismay. Wu took the cat’s distraction to whack it on the head with his staff. The cat growled and backed away, freeing Jay from under its paws. It stared at the ninja, who were simultaneously beginning to surround it, then lashed its tail. With a frustrated hiss, it bounded up to the ship’s rail, and balanced on it delicately. It flashed the grim-faced ninja a dark glare, then jumped and fell into the clouds racing by.
I wonder how the situation would be different if he just went out and told them.
What, of your story??
That's a good question. Probably a lot less gasps of shock and questions about "why didn't you tell us in the first place" and whatnot. It may be rather similar to what we have now, seeing that (as far as they know) the cat-creatures have nothing to do with Philip or Liana.
*** Before he could ask if she was all right, Lloyd cried out. “The cats are on the ship!!” Cole whipped around to see Lloyd wrestling desperately on the deck with the smoky gray tom, while Wu and Jay fought against a lithe white feline and Zane shot ice at a muscular tortoiseshell. The cat dodged the nindroid’s shot and lunged for him, knocking him over to the ground.

Go see for yourself.
As far as we know, or they really do connect? I think they’re going to connect in someway. Mostly because that’s how stories normally work.

I can neither confirm nor deny the charges, for either reply would reveal spoilers.
What made this especially awkward was how Liana was caught up in all this. It probably felt really weird for her to hear Cole talking about her brother to his teammates, whom she had never met. At this moment she stood by uneasily, looking confused and worried. Her silver-blond ponytail was frazzled from the fights, and one of the sleeves were ripped, presumably by a cat’s claws. She was a bit of an odd sight to behold; standing away from the crowd on the deck of the Bounty in her baby-blue night robe, her hair disheveled and holding her nunchucks in one hand. In truth, she also looked lonely standing by herself, but there was a defensive tilt to her head that invited no pity from anyone. Cole went on to explain how he, Zane, and Jay had tried to climb down the side of the building to escape the cat-creatures and how he had seen Liana in her room, which gave him the idea to get inside and skedaddle that way. “What happened to you guys?” He asked. “Well, while you, Zane, and Jay were fighting that orange cat and the brown cat, Sensei, Lloyd, and I—Wait.” Nya glanced around. “Where’s Lloyd?” “Lloyd?” Cole repeated. Everyone but Liana surveyed the deck of the Bounty and called Lloyd’s name, but there was no answer. Concern for their friend began to increase, and they started to fear what happened to him. “You don’t suppose he could have fallen off like the cats, do you?” Nya fretted. Zane walked to the starboard side and peered over. “If he did, there is little chance of finding him. We are flying at a high speed, it is much too dark to see anything, and he could be anywhere.” “Maybe the cat-things got him.” Jay said with wide eyes. There was a moment of dark silence before Wu said. “If he has fallen off the Bounty, he can probably return to us on his elemental dragon. In the meantime, I suggest we find a safe place to land. Somewhere where those creatures won’t find us.” “Do you suppose they’re still after us?” Zane asked.
Cole gritted his teeth and grimaced. His legs, back, chest, and stomach stung like crazy, as if every wound was on fire. He felt that if he didn’t sit down, he might soon collapse. “Ugh. . .” He groaned and slid to the floor of the deck. Maybe if he just lay down and was very, very still, the pain would go away. ***** “Let us not ponder on the ones we cannot answer and instead question about the ones we can. Such as,” With his staff he gestured to Liana. “Who this young lady might be.” Liana, who had been clutching her nunchucks and standing stiffly as if expecting another attack, jumped, as if surprised someone had noticed her. She hesitated, then said. “I—I’m Liana Green. . . I was at the hotel when it was attacked.” Cole decided it was time to come clean. Groaning, he forced himself to stand up and say. “She’s an old friend of mine.”
1. Poor Cole. 2. Yay, finally she meets most of the team.
Cole sighed and tried to ignore the throbbing from his wounds. “When I ran away from dance school, before I met you, Sensei, I hid out in the mountains and met some other people, and we traveled together for a few weeks. Two of them were Liana and Philip; siblings. I made friends with them, but we finally split up, and eventually you found me.” He glared down at the deck, hating that even though he had tried so hard to keep it a secret for so long, he now found himself giving up that last bit of privacy to his personal life.
“Jay caught me at Philip’s grave. . . At the memorial for those who were smashed during the Anacondrai-cultist rebellion. I—I didn’t tell him about Philip’s sister, and I asked him to keep the thing about me visiting the cemetery a secret.” ******* She waved him off. “It’s OK. I get it.” She said quietly. Cole felt that the two of them silently agreed to keep the part about the two of them meeting at the gym every other night a secret; it didn’t really matter, anyway.
1. This, combined with season 8, makes me think that every disaster the ninja ever faced had their consequences. 2. Good idea...
