> 9.2.

—ANNOUNCER: "AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE ROYAL BLACKSMI—UH, HOLD ON. Uh, this just in, there's been a switch. Taking the stage next is Spin Harmony!"

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

—Zane: "I have butterflies in my stomach."

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

—Zane: "No, I really do have butterflies."

He opens his panel and butterflies come out. One landing on my nose as I blink in surprise.

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

—Announcer: "Last call for Spin Harmony!"

—Jay: "Let's do this, for Cole!"

—Kai: "If we can do the Tornado of Creation, we can score perfect 10s out there."

—Zane: "I can say anything and it will only go to elevate our team unity."

—Cole: "I'm glad you guys are my friends. Let's do the whip!"

—All: "Ninja, go!"

I enter first sitting down and beginning to play the Shamisen.

The boys run in and begin singing and dancing as well.

Serpentine enter the stage to attack which just made our show better.

I didn't bother to defend myself since the boys were covering any attack coming my way.

Suddenly, Cole did the "Triple Tiger Sashay" as Zane called out.

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

[...]

—Jay: "Hahaha! We did it!"

—Kai: "No, Cole did it. Because of you, Ninjago will sleep safely tonight."

—Cole: "Thanks, but go on and celebrate without me. Winning this doesn't feel the same without my dad being able to—"

—Lou: "Cole!"

—Cole: "Dad?"

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

The two hug each other.

—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. I shouldn't have pushed you so hard to follow in my footsteps. 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: "You're not mad?"

—Lou: "How can I be? My son's a hero!"

—Pythor: "Eh, sorry to interrupt your little family reunion, but did you know..."

He rips off his beard.

—Pythor: "It's me, Pythor!"

I come from behind him.

—Me: "Ah. And I was wondering where is that snake who's head I still itch to take."

Pythor squeals in fear and runs to the other side.

Two serpentine drop the stage lights onto Lou and Cole jumps to save him.

As I was distracted with that. Pythor managed to escape.

—Jay: "They took the Fangblade!"

—Kai: "Cole!"

We all look at the pile in worry. Then, a light was emitted and I sigh in relief while smiling.

'He did it...'

—Zane: "He found his True Potential!"

[...]

[Location: Lou's house]

We were all sitting and having tea.

—Kai: "Oh, man."

—Jay: "(Simultaneously) That was really cool."

—Zane: "(Simultaneously) You found your True Potential."

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

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

—Kai: "Who knows? Maybe when I unlock my True Potential, I'll turn into the destined Green Ninja."

—Cole/Jay: "Yeah, dream on./Ha, okay."

—Cole: "The only thing you're destined for is a more inflated ego."

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

He hangs out victory picture on the wall.

—Cole: "All right!"

—Zane: "Excellent."

—Kai: "Awesome."

—Jay: "Nice."

—Me: "Looks good."

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

—Cole: "Yeah."

...

—Lou: "And hopefully that young lady becomes my daughter-in-law"

He winks at his son.

—Cole: "Dad!"

Cole's face turns red in embarrassment.

—Jay: "Hey! No way!"
