(At the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are trying to figure out how to stop Pythor from unleashing the Devourer while examining a Fangblade hologram.)

Nya: They got the first one, but there are three more, and we just need one to stop Pythor. They have a map, and we don't, so they question remains: how are we gonna find them first?

Destiny: Dunno, and still not sure.

Jay: I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?

Kai: We're over that. Can we move on?

Jay: (Speaks Gibberish) Someone's a little hot under the collar.

Zane: It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his Full Potential like you and I have, Jay.

Kai: Great observation, Mr. Roboto, but Cole and Destiny haven't found there's either.

Cole: I got it!

Kai: You've unlocked it? Oh, why am I the only one!?

Destiny: I'm right here. You just said my name 2 seconds ago you know.

Kai: Uh hu whatever.

Cole: Nope! I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it. (He goes to get the picture.)

Kai: Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good.

Cole: I got it! (He shows them the Blade Cup from his photo album.)

Jay: That's it!

Destiny: And it's in a... cup? Explain please.

Cole: Back where I grew up, there's this pretty big competition where every year the winner gets the Blade Cup. My dad's won it multiple times.

Zane: You never told us your dad was an accomplished athlete. What sport?

Cole: Oh, h-he's a, uh...a blacksmith.

Kai: Nothing wrong with that. My father was a blacksmith, too. 

Destiny: I never knew there was a competition—

Cole: That's because he's not a "blacksmith" blacksmith. He's a....Royal Blacksmith (He turns a page of his album to show them a picture of his dad. Everyone snickers except Destiny.)

Destiny: So he uhh... does something. What does he do?

Kai: He's a performer. Heh

Jay: That's your dad?

Kai: But how did the Fangblade become a trophy?

Cole: Well, supposedly, the Blade Cup was made by this guy who collected priceless artifacts. His name was something like, uh, Dutch...no, Clutch. Clutch Powers! Anyway, it gets passed on to each year's winner.

Zane: Who has it now?

Cole I don't know. I haven't talked to my father in years.

Destiny: Didn't you guys get letters like a week ago? I remember there being one from your father Cole.

Cole: Yeah but I haven't really talked... face to face. And I don't think we ca-

Kai: Well then, we'll call him up.

Cole: You can't! He thinks I'm in Ninjago City training at the Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts. (He groans.) He... well-

Destiny: He wanted you to follow in his footsteps, but when you couldn't sing or dance you- you did what!?
