In a pyramid was Pythor looking for the second fangblade. But he stopped the other snakes and showed them the traps. He told them to get Lloyd.

Lloyd: You're letting me free?

Pythor: Get the fangblade, and you will be free.

Lloyd didn't trust Pythor, but he didn't have a hoice. So he ran to through the traps, setting them off. But he was unharmed and got to where the fangblade was. But there was one problem.

Lloyd: It's gone!

Pythor: Gone?

Skales: But where is it?

Lloyd: Do I still get set free?

Pythor: No!

On the bounty, the ninja were looking at a hologram of a fangblade.

Nya: They might have the first fangblade, but there's three more. And we only need one to stop Pythor. They have a map, we don't. So how are we gonna find them first?

Jay: I still can't belive that you were the mysterious samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?

Kai: Jay. You haven't stopped talking about that since you found out. Just be quit. So anyone have a clue?

Cole: I got it.

Cole ran to his room and got his photo album. He came back and showed everyone a picture of a trophy that had the fangblade inside.

Jay: That's the fangblade!

Cole: Back home there were always a big competition. And the winner got the bladecup. My dad won it many times.

Zane: You've never said that your dad did sports. What did he do?

Cole: Oh. He was a blacksmith.

Kai: My father was too. But I have never heard of that kind of competition.

Cole: That's because he isn't a normal blacksmith. He's a royal blacksmith.

He flipped the page and showed a picture of his dad holding the bladecup. Jay chuckled a little.

Jay: That's your dad?

Kai smacked the back of Jay's head.

Kai: How did the fangblade become a trophy?

Cole: It was given by a man who collects old artifacts. His name was Dutch? No Clutch. Clutch Powers. Anyway, the cup is given to the winner each year.

Zane: Who has it now?

Cole: I don't know. I haven't talked to dad in a long time.

Kai: Then we give him a call.

Cole: No You can't. He thinks I'm at Marty Oppenheimer's school of arts. He wanned me to follow in is footsteps, but when I couldn't sing or dance. I ran away. If he sees that I can't dance, he knows that I've been lying in the letters I've sent him.

Zane: He doesn't know you're a ninja?

Cole: What? Are you gonna crack jokes about my dad having tutu?

Kai: No. But we better get our act in tune if we wanna get the fangblade before the serpentine. Plus I get to introduce myself to your dad.

Kai soon saw Cole's look of concern.

Kai: What is it?

Cole sighed.

Cole: My dad don't know I'm gay. I never told him because. I don't know how he'll react.

The others looked at Cole sympathetically. Kai hugged him.

Kai: He doesn't need to know that fast. It's your decision to tell him. We'll be here for you.

Cole smiled and gently kissed Kai's head. The others smiled.

In the realm of madness, Garmadon and Wu were climbing the mountain of madness.

Garmadon: I wish we would had reached the top before the moon rised. The craglings have never missed a midnight snack.

Wu: Craglings? What is this place? There's no such thing in Ninjago.

Garmadon: They're a creatures unlike any you've seen. And not all places exist to be found, brother. Sometimes, you must revel in the shadows to truly see the light.

All of a sudden, rock monsters appered and started attack them.

Garmadon: Watch out, brother!

He destroyed the Cragling and saved Wu.

Wu: Thanks. Just like old times?

Garmadon: Just like old times.

Garmadon and Wu: Ninja, go!

Meanwhile, the ninja had landed outside Cole's dads house in their civilian outfits. He then opened a music case.

Cole: Alright, hand them over.

The others put in their weapons.

Jay: Ah-ah. But no mortal shall possess all four.

Cole: Very funny.

Jay: Why can't we have our weapons agian?

Cole: I told you, my dad can't find out I'm a ninja. And I don't feel like making up excuses, why I'm carrying a giant scythe around with me. So just remember the plan: we find out who has the Fangblade trophy, we snatch it, and then we get the heck out of town.

The others nodded as Cole knocked on the door.

Lou: Just a moment.

Lou opened the door and saw Cole.

Cole: Hey, dad. How long has it been?

Lou: What? Are you too good for the doorbell now?

He slammed the door, and Cole was confused. He then pressed the doorbell.

Doorbell: Welcome.

Lou came out and hugged Cole.

Lou: Haha. Come on in, son. It's been forever.

He then saw the others.

Lou: What did you bring? A quartet? Come in, come in. I've got a kettle of lemon honey tea on the stove.

Inside the ninja got a cup each. Cole felt a little nervous but Kai gently grabbed his hand.

Lou: Did my son tell you I broke my foot? It was the cha-cha. But I swear the percussionist had it in for me.

Cole: No, dad. I didn't tell them about your silly stories.

Lou: Silly stories?

Kai: Oh, what he meant was. We have been busy training at the...uh...

Jay: Uh, the Martha Oppenheimer. Yeah.

Lou stopped the music.

Lou: Martha Oppenheimer?

Zane: What he's trying to say is, Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts.

Cole: Right! Well you see, we have this final research paper on the history of Ninjago talent. And we really wanted to know how we get our hands on the Blade Cup?

Lou: You're talking about getting your hands on the Blade Cup? The most prized and heavily guarded award in all of Ninjago? The symbol of excellence in harmony and grace? You can't just get it, you have to earn it. You have to exhibit style. Perfect pitch. Push the boundaries of artistic license and win this year's Ninjago Talent Show!

Zane: Um, perhaps there's an easier way.

Lou: Is this why you came? You knew I was injured, and when my quartet insisted we shan't go on. You four have come to take our place! Haha, ingenious! My son, bringing forth the next generation of the Royal Blacksmiths! Let me hear the sweet, sweet sound of harmony.

Jay: Harmony...

Zane: Harmony...

Kai held his ears in pain, while Lou cringed and Cole groaned.

Cole: Look, dad. We just need the trophy.

Jay: Yeah, we're bringing home the gold and-and we want you to train us.

Lou: I've never been more proud. If you'll excuse me, I need to write a song about my feelings.

He walked out of the room.

Cole: What are you doing?

Jay: Look, we enter this competition so we can get close enough to the Blade Cup. Once we get the Fangblade, we leave town. How hard can this be?

Cole sighed before Kai grabbed his hand.

Kai: Don't worry. It'll be okay.

This gave Cole a smile.

Two Serpentine was walking around Ninjago and soom spotted a poster for the Talent Show. They went directly to tell Pythor.

Back at Lou's house, the ninja were being trained by Lou.

Lou: Okay, from the op. Five, six, seven, eight.

Kai: Bop till you drop.

Jay: Shake it till you break it.

Zane: Move it till you lose it.

Cole: Spin it till you win it.

Lou: Stop, stop. Ugh. If my ears weren't attached to my head, they'd be running away!

Lou: Kai, love the energy, hate the hair. Jay, you're giving a lot, but I need more. Zane, you're like a machine. Don't change anything. And Cole, try to act like you wanna be here.

Jay: He's worse than Sensei Wu.

Lou: Okay, moving forward. Let's take a look at the big show-stopping climax. Cole, we can't have history repeating itself.

Cole: Dad, it was Triple Tiger Sashay. I was only seven.

Kai: What's Triple Tiger Sashay?

Cole: Only the most difficult dance move ever created.

Lou: It's true. Many have tried, but it's never been successfully completed.

Cole: Hence, my father thought a seven year-old could. But I ended up falling on my face, humiliating myself, and letting my quartet down.

Lou: If you're going to win, you have to go big! Alright, time for a break. Take five.

Lou walked out.

Jay: Uh, I'm starting to see why Cole is so closed off. It's cause he failed once. Is that why you ran away?

Cole: Look. I'll deal with my father, but let's stick with the plan. All we have to do is keep this charade long enough until we can get our hands on the trophy.

Jay: I don't know. I'm starting to think we can win this thing. But if you want. We'll stick to the plan.

Some minutes later Skales and Pythor came up from the sewers.

Skales: It's here. I feel it.

Pythor: Calm down. There's no need to attract unwanted attention.

Skales: Look, the ninja.

Kai: Bop till you drop.

Jay: Shake it till you break it.

Zane: Move it till you lose it.

Cole: Spin it till you win it.

Skales: Ugh, now there's no chance to take it.

Pythor then saw the poster and got an idea.

In the realm of madness were Wu and Garmadon done with the craglings.

Garmadon: The vortex back to Ninjago is just over that buff. Please, you first.

Wu: Though we live in two different worlds, I still see good in your heart, brother.

Garmadon: The battle between our worlds is inevitable. You put too much trust in me.

He then pushed Wu over the edge but he managed to grab on a rock.

Wu: But I came for your help to save your son. Did you lead me here just to destroy me?

Garmadon: See you on the other side.

He then pushed Wu and jumped in himself. They both landed in Jamanakai Village and Garmadon was happy to be back. He just laughed

At the talent show were the ninja practicing the dance.

Cole: Then kick ball change, barrel roll, barrel turn, and we all do the double wings

Jay then fell on the ground.

Jay: Ow! I must be two beats off.

Zane: Actually, 2.72 off of the beat.

Cole: Guys, guys! Let's not make this any harder than it needs to be. Just remember the plan. We steal the cup and go back home.

Jay: But this is your hometown, Cole. Don't you even wanna try to win it?

Cole: Ugh, the only dance step I wanna perform is called "get-me-out-of-this-nuthouse-and-let's-burn-these-memories-from-my-head."

Lou: What?

Cole turned around to see his dad with a shocked face.

Cole: Dad, I...

Lou: You...you were going to steal it?

Cole: Dad, I didn't mean for you to hear that, but-but I'm glad you did. There's something I've been wanting to tell you. I haven't been training to be a singer or a dancer. I found something new that I'm really good at.

He used spinjitsu and changed into his ninja suit.

Cole: I'm a ninja. And the truth is, if we don't steal that Blade Cup. The Serpentine will. And we need it to save the world. I know how ridiculous this sounds, but I'm proud of who I am, and I want you to be proud of me, too.

Lou: I can't be proud of any son who thinks stealing is right. And I'm not gonna wait around, to watch you make a mockery of our family's legacy.

Cole: Dad, I..

Lou walked off. Cole felt how his father's words hurt him.

Cole: Fine. If I'm such a disappointment. Then let me be it more. I'm gay and have a wonderful boyfriend. But you probably think I'm more disappointing now.

Lou stopped for a second before he continued to walk away. Kai put a hand on Cole's shoulder. The others did too. Just then they saw a group of disguised Serpentine walk out of a dressing room. With the name Treble Makers.

Jay: Wait a minute. What are they doing here?

They then heard Pythor's voice and saw that Pythor was disguised into a judge. The real judge was in his stomach.

The Blade Cup was then brought out.

Pythor: The Fangblade.

Judge 2: Uh, yeah. You mean the Blade Cup.

Pythor: Yes, yes. Whatever.

Kai: It looks like we're not the only ones planning to steal the Blade Cup. Pythor's here.

Zane: This complicates things.

Jay: Then I say we make our move. We can't risk losing out again. I say we steal it.

Cole then stopped them.

Cole: We're not gonna steal it. We're gonna win this competition, but we're gonna do it our way.

The others nodded and changed into their ninja outfits.

The Treble Makers sang horrible, but Pythor ofcourse gave them 10 points. He threatend the other judges so they gave 9.

Announcer: And now The Royal Blacksmi.... Uh, hold on. Uh, this just in, there's been a switch. Taking the stage next is Spin Harmony!

Behind the scenes were the ninja making themselves ready.

Cole: If we're gonna do this, I want everyone to see who we really are.

Zane: I have butterflies in my stomach.

Jay: Aww, come on. That's just nerves.

Zane: No, I really do have butterflies.

He opened his chest and out flew real butterflies.

Jay: Okay, uh, glad he got that out of his system.

Announcer: Last call for Spin Harmony!

Cole: Ok let's do this!

All: Ninja, go!

Pythor: Well, it looks like the last act is no longer performing. Haha, that means I can give this to the winners...

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, Spin Harmony!

Everyone except for the serpentine cheered. Kai went and hugged Cole tight. He hugged back.

Announcer: Oh, he did it! The Triple Tiger Sashay! He's danced the impossible!

Then the judges gave them 10, but Pythor gave 0. Everyone booed. But the judge in Pythor's stomach reached his hand out and wrote an one next to the 0, so it became 10. Everyone cheered while Pythor was mad.

Pythor: What? Wait. I didn't write that.

Announcer: It's a perfect score! Spin harmony wins the Blade Cup!

Pythor: Oh, this is a travesty of epic proportions! I demand for there to be a recount!

Cole smiled over that he and the others won. But as he looked around, he got sad that his dad wants there.

The ninja soon walked backstage to celebrate.

Jay: We did it!

Kai smiled at Cole.

Kai: Cole is the real star. Preforming like that was great. I'm sure your dad would be proud of you.

Cole smiled.

Lou: And I am!

Cole: Dad?

Lou: I saw it all, son. I saw it all.

Cole: You saw me dance?

Lou: More importantly, I saw you fight. Those Serpentine were up to no good, trying to steal the show, and I saw you stand up for what is right. I was wrong. Everyone is born with a special talent inside that's just been waiting to get out. And you were born to be a ninja.

Cole: So you're not mad?

Lou: How can I be? My son's a hero! And one more thing. I don't care of your gay. I'll always love you. No matter what. And I think you found someone very special.

Lou and Cole looked at Kai who blushed a little while smiling. Suddenly they heard a familiar voice.

Pythor: Eh, sorry to interrupt your little family reunion, but did you know? That it's me, Pythor.

Cole: You couldn't fool us, Pythor.

Pythor: I didn't want to miss our big show stopper.

Two snakes pushed heavy crates from over the stage so they fell over Lou.

Cole: Dad!

Cole jumped over his dad to save him, but the crates fell over them both. Pythor managed to steal the fangblade.

Jay: They took the Fangblade.

Kai: Cole!

Just then they noticed that Cole's scythe started to glow, and out of the pile came Cole lifting the crates of while glowing.

Zane: He found his True Potential.

Lou: Wha-what? How did we survive that? Son?

Zane: Cole's found his True Potential. His relationship with his father must have been holding him back.

Jay: He's indestructible!

Kai just smiled at his boyfriend.

Cole then returned to normal

Cole: Is everyone alright? What just happened?

Lou: We're all okay, son.

Kai then came and hugged Cole.

Kai: Don't ever, scare me like that agian.

Cole: I promise.

They hugged eachother. Later at Lou's house, they all were drinking Tea.

Jay: That was really cool.

Zane: You found your True Potential.

Kai: I'm so proud of you.

Jay: I guess the scorecard now reads, Pythor-two Fangblades, ninja-zero.

Cole: Yeah, but all we need is one, and there is still two left to find.

Lou: It may not be the trophy, but it sure will look good on my wall.

He hanged up a picture of the ninja and him.

Cole: All right!

Zane: Excellent.

Kai: Awesome.

Jay: Nice.

Lou: As far as I'm concerned, you're all my family now.

Cole: Yeah.

They all smiled at the photo, and the new memory.
