History of Cole (Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu)

Wasted True Potential
Cole is seen trying to beat Zane's high score in a video game called Lava Zombies. He successfully beats his high score, and after the accomplishment, the Ninja decide to relax in a hot tub.

They are interrupted by Wu who demands a emergency meeting back at the Monastery. When the Ninja arrive, Wu challenges them to a test to see if they are in shape. Once the chicken was released, it attacks the Ninja using its lighting power. The Ninja were able to trap the chicken, but Wu warned them of upcoming plans to prove their courage.

During the night, Cole is seen trying to get cake from the fridge only for it to be the chicken that electrifies him. He tries again, but falls through a trap door.

After the Ninja get humiliated by Wu, they ask if there are other ways for them to prove their courage and Wu allows the Ninja to fight their master. However, due to the lack of training, the Ninja failed.

Questing for Quests
In a hot tub, the Ninja think about what villain they should battle. Cole suggest Ultra Violet and Pythor but when Zane mentions effort he waves the thought away. They eventually thought to help the police catch criminals.

Cole is also seen with the other Ninja going around town trying to solve mysteries and crimes instead of the police but is disappointed to find nothing. They eventually all return to the monastery hear about a pyramid in a far off desert in Ninjago that Clutch Powers is reluctant to explore and soon venture to go there and look for a quest.

A Rocky Start
The Ninja rush around the Monastery, packing to prepare for their quest. Cole brings his favorite guzzler on the quest and the ninja are about to set off, but P.I.X.A.L. introduces the ninja to their new underground base. Cole receives a new bike while Kai gets the Katana 4x4 and the other ninja, the Land Bounty. The quickly set off, forgetting their luggage.

In the vehicles, while Zane informs the ninja about Beohernie, Cole discovered an oasis to stop and have lunch. Zane continues talking about the desert and Cole left to get food, when it was swallowed into the ground. The ninja rush to their vehicles. Cole trips and loses his guzzler. He rushes onto his bike but, Beohernie grabs the Bounty with his mouth. Cole and Kai distract Beohernie, but he follows them instead. The ninja drive to a rock but are stuck there.

The Belly of the Beast
Zane figures out that a piece is missing to drive the bounty. The ninja realize someone has to find it and get it from Beohernie's stomach. Zane wins a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, though Cole competes and loses. Cole's bike is used to pull Zane out. The Ninja eventually get the part back and continue to the Desert of Doom.

Boobytraps and How to Survive Them
The Ninja try to convince Clutch Powers but cannot. Clutch gets a call from the Explorer's Club. His membership is about to get revoked, so he helps. The Ninja go past obstacles. Cole uses his strength to lift a column. Later on, Jay trips a cobweb and the Ninja fall into spikes Kai destroyed with his fire.

They soon reach a room with a sliding puzzle on a wall. Jay and Nya accidentally freed Aspheera, by finishing the puzzle. Clutch flees, saying he will be asking for help. She steals Kai's power and traps Cole and the other Ninja after she beats them with spinjitzu. She then gets onto the Fire Fang and explodes a part of the pyramid and sends the rock and Clutch Powers flying to Ninjago City.

Ninja vs Lava
Despite the rushing lava, the Ninja are able to escape their prision; however, they are still chained. When they get to the barrier, Cole uses his lava arms to lift the barrier allowing the other Ninja to pass. As Cole was lifting the rock up, Jay caught sight of lava approaching them and immediately begins running away from the lava. Not realizing they were still tied together, this caused a chain reaction, as Lloyd and Cole were pulled towards Jay causing Cole to drop the rock and nearly crushing Kai.

When they reach the spikes, they find supplies from Hageman needed to ascend the slope. As they began their ascent, Cole complains about Kai's weight causing him to lose his grip and the Ninja to fall until Nya is able to grip the slope. Despite the setback, the Ninja are able to reach the top.

The Ninja reach outside the pyramid, but they realize they are surrounded by lava. When all hope seemed lost, P.I.X.A.L. arrives in the ShuriCopter and saves the Ninja.

After the long ride, the Ninja reach their vehicle and promise that they will be ready for Aspheera.
