Sometimes, to gain great power, some might need to suffer to obtain it.
Y/N was born with the power over chaos, but no way to obtain it. Certain people took a great interest in Y/N because of this. He was taken, tortured, experimented on for the sak...
Rouge ruffled Lloyd's hair, getting the boy to let out an annoyed cry as he tried and failed to swat Rouge's hand away. She giggles, leaning down and whispering in Lloyd's ear.
ROUGE: "I'm working with Y/N. I'm a spy for him."
Lloyd's eyes widened as he stared at Rouge with a shocked expression. She winks at him, a mischievous grin on her face as she picks up Lloyd and head towards the Serpentine.
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?"
JAY: "I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?"
Y/N, who was leaning against the wall of the bridge, scoffed and rolled his eyes at Jay's question.
Y/N: "No."
KAI: "And besides, we're over that. Can we move on?"
Jay was trying to speak, but it was completely inaudible which just made Y/N even more annoyed at the master of lightning.
JAY: "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 Y/N haven't found it either."
Y/N huffed, crossing his arms and turning away. It wasn't his fault that his trauma of watching his whole family die in one night was holding him back.
COLE: "I got it!"
KAI: "You've unlocked it? Oh, why am I the only one!?"
COLE: "No, I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it."
Y/N: "...Excuse me?"
Cole runs off to his quarters to get the picture he mentioned.
KAI: "Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good."
Y/N looked over to Kai, raising an eyebrow.
COLE: "I got it!"
He shows them the Blade Cup from his photo album.
JAY: "That's it!"
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."
Y/N: "I don't see why that's a problem."
KAI: "Y/N's right. My father was a blacksmith, too. But I've never heard of a competition—"
COLE: "That's because he's not a "blacksmith" blacksmith. He's a...Royal Blacksmith."
Y/N: "You mean that group of dancers?"
Cole nods, almost embarrassed as he turns a page of his album to show them a picture of his father. This got the Ninja, minus Y/N and Cole, to snicker.

JAY: "That's your dad?"
Y/N: "They turned one of the Fangblades... into a trophy? How?"
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."
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 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 I've been lying in all the letters I've been sending him."
ZANE: "He doesn't know you're a ninja?"
COLE: "What? You gonna crack some joke that my old man wears a tutu?"
KAI: "No, but if we're going to have any chance at getting that Fangblade before they do, we better get our own act in tune."
Y/N: "Yeah, I'm sitting this one out."
The ninja turned to him, shocked. Y/N held out a hand to get them to stop before they could say anything.
Y/N: "I need to check something in another part of Ninjago. Perhaps it could give us more information on where another one of the Fangblades are located."
ZANE: "I agree with Y/N. Y/N is more capable of fighting the Serpentine on his own than with us. We should go on ahead."
Y/N gave Zane a thankful nod.
Y/N: "Exactly. My powers best work while I'm solo, so you have nothing to worry about."
The ninja nodded, deciding that Y/N's plan is the best course of action. The split up, Y/N using his Dark Rider to leap off the Bounty and head towards a location unknown while the rest of the Ninja head to get the Blade Cup.
