Miku P.O.V

Nya was looking at the digital version of the Fangblade and looked like she was in deep in thought

"They got the first one, but there are three more, and we just need one to stop Pythor. They have the map and we don't. So the question remains, how are we gonna find them first?" Nya asked and Cole was looking at the blade like he was trying to remember something

"I still can't get over the fact that you were the Mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?" Jay asked, and Crystal and I rose our hands

"We're over that. Can we move on?" Kai asked sounding agitated

"Someone's a little hot under the collar" Jay said

"It appears his impatience it because he has not found his inner peace and unlocked his full potential, like you and I have, Jay" Zane said

"Great observation Mr. Roboto, but Cole hasn't found it either" Kai said

"I got it!" Cole shouted

"You've unlocked it?! Oh! Why am I the only one?!" Kai started to freak out, and Crystal walked towards Kai and gave a good slap on the face

"Did it help?" Crystal asked

"I needed that. Thanks" Kai said

"So, Cole, did you remember something when you looked at the Fangblade?" I asked

"I have actually. I recognized where I saw the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it" Cole said as he ran out of the control room to get the picture

"Oh. Ha ha, is that it? Heh" Kai looked embarrassed

"It's okay, Kai. I'm sure you'll be able unlock your true potential" I said

"Thanks, Miku" Kai said as he messed up my hair

Then a minute later, Cole came back with a photo album

"I got it" Cole opened the album and it showed the Fangblade but as a trophy

"That's it!" Jay said as he took the album and we gathered to the photo

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

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

"Oh. He's a... Uh... a Blacksmith" Cole answered

"Nothing wrong with that. My father was a blacksmith too. But I've never heard of a competition-"

"That's because he's not a 'blacksmith' blacksmith. He's a Royal Blacksmith" Cole said as he turned the page and showed Cole's dad holding the trophy, and the guys started snickering

"That's your dad?" Jay asked trying his best to not laugh

"But how did the Fangblade become a trophy?" Kai asked

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

"Who has now?" Zane asked

"I don't know. I haven't talked to my father in years" Cole said looking down

"Years?! Cole you haven't talked to your dad in years?!" I said with a shocked face

"Should I arrange a phone call?" Crystal asked

"You can't!" Cole shouted "He thinks I'm in Ninjago City  training at Marty Openheimer School of Performing Arts. He wanted me to follow in his footsteps, but when I couldn't sing or dance... Well, I... I ran away. When he sees I can't dance, he'll know that I've been lying in all the letter I've been sending him" Cole admitted
