I'm going to skip season 11 & 12, I don't think it would be particularly benefiting to Cole & Y/n story so here is a short summary for those who don't remember

Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu is divided into two story arcs: The Fire Chapter and The Ice Chapter.

The Fire Chapter, After a period of laziness following their victory over the Oni, the ninja accidentally release Aspheera, an ancient Pyro Viper sorceress who was imprisoned for centuries. She seeks revenge against Master Wu for betraying her in the past. Aspheera steals Kai's elemental power and uses Forbidden Spinjitzu to take over Ninjago. The ninja must defeat her and reclaim Kai's power, which leads to a final battle where she is re-imprisoned. However, during the fight, Aspheera uses a powerful scroll to banish Wu, and the ninja are pulled into the portal with him.

The Ice Chapter, The ninja find themselves trapped in the Never-Realm, a frozen world ruled by Vex and the Ice Emperor, who is revealed to be Zane—brainwashed into becoming a ruthless tyrant. Zane was manipulated by Vex and lost his memories, believing he must rule with an iron fist. The ninja ally with a group of rebels and Lloyd struggles to bring Zane back. After a final battle, Zane regains his memories, defeats Vex, and restores peace to the Never-Realm. The ninja return to Ninjago, ready for their next adventure.

Season 12: Prime Empire

The ninja discover an old arcade game called Prime Empire, which suddenly starts working again after being dormant for years. Jay gets sucked into the game, and the rest of the team follows to rescue him. Inside Prime Empire, they learn that the game's creator, Milton Dyer, has vanished, and the world is now controlled by an AI villain named Unagami.

To escape, the ninja must collect three Key-Tanas by completing dangerous challenges, including a high-speed race and a battle against digital enemies. Along the way, they realize that players who "lose" are deregistered, meaning they disappear from the game entirely.

As they progress, they uncover that Unagami is actually an AI version of Milton Dyer's original creation, seeking to enter the real world. In the final battle, Jay—who is revealed to be the "chosen player"—confronts Unagami. Instead of fighting, he convinces Unagami to reunite with his creator and learn the truth. This allows Unagami to reform, releasing all the missing players back into reality.

Now onto Season 13 Shintaro!

The warm glow of the television screen flickered across Cole's face as he lounged on the couch, completely immersed in his game. His dark eyes were locked onto the action, fingers moving fluidly over the buttons, a small smile tugging at his lips. He looked so relaxed, so at ease—too at ease, considering how much work we had to do.

Balancing a fresh load of laundry in my arms, I stood in the doorway, my expression shifting from exhaustion to irritation. "Are you seriously playing video games right now?"

Cole's eyes flicked toward me for the briefest second, just enough to send me a charming, lazy smile before redirecting his focus back to the game. "It's my day off. Why wouldn't I be playing video games?"

I scoffed, adjusting the pile of clothes. "Cole, we've been gone for weeks, and this monastery isn't going to clean itself! We've got laundry to fold, leaves to rake, firewood to chop—and don't even get me started on the sentry cannons outside the wall that still need repairing!"
