โ€”โ€”โ€”


Cole's father, a famous singer, wants him to start becoming a celebrity singer, but doesn't know his son is a Power Ranger as he must help the Rangers defeat a monster who is sealing people's mouths shut.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


At Master Chen's, music was playing as Kai, Jay, Zane and Nya, all in their work shirts with Zane wearing a hat with Master Chen's logo on it, were serving some customers while LJ was at a table, eating a spring roll as he and some of the customers were watching Cole, who is on the stage. "๐ŸŽถYou shall never control me, I'm no drone or even a toy, So you can just leave me alone๐ŸŽถ" Cole sang as he looked on to see the crowd of customers watching him. "๐ŸŽถStay away from me, Take all your threats to the grave, And never come back. You don't control me, I'm in control of my life, I want to live my life. And you have no right to be a slave driver, You don't control me, And you shall not control me. You don't control me, I'm in control of my life, I want to live my life. And you have no right to be a slave driver, You don't control me, And you shall not control me. You have no control over me, You have no control over me, You have no control over me๐ŸŽถ" The song soon ended and the music stopped with the watching customers applauding before he soon got off the stage and sat down next to LJ.


"Nice song." He said, handing him some water, which he scowled.


"Thanks. I wrote it after last night. It was a nightmare about my father."


"Welcome to the club of Hating Fathers."


"Fathers can't be all that bad." Jay said, sitting down and grabbing a kani sushi before taking a bite.


The bell by the door soon jingled as Cole turned to it to see a middle aged man, wearing a tuxedo with a red bow tie and brown trench coat over it. "Oh no." He said, getting up and turned to Zane as he was coming their way.. "Zane, give me your hat."


"Why?" He asked.


Cole just took it without answering and puts it on over his head before heading over to a nearby table where there were some empty plates and picked them up before he starts to head over to the kitchen. As he did so, the man passes by, unintentionally bumping into Cole, knocking him back a bit and causing him to drop the plates. They landed on the ground, shattering as a result. "Oh, I'm sorry." He said. "I wasn't looking where I was going."


"Uh, don't worry." Cole replied with a deeper voice before kneeling down to pick up the broken pieces.


"Here, let me help." He kneels down to help Cole pick up the broken dishes before he soon got a quick good look at him. "Cole?"


He immediately sighed before taking the hat off and they stood up. "Hey, dad."


"Whoa!" Jay said as he and the others came up to them. "Louis Hence of the Royal Blacksmiths is your father?"


"Correct." Louis replied. "Loughlin Copernicus Mason Eric Hence XX."


"Hence? Cole, I thought your surname was Brookstone."


"My mother's maiden name." Cole said. "Started using it when she passed."


"Wanted to keep a piece of her, didn't you?" Louis asked and Cole nodded.


"Weren't the Royal Blacksmiths disbanded last year?" LJ asked.


"Yes, yes, yes, a controversy involving a member and the mayor's daughter. Anyway, I heard a rumour that you were singing again."


"Well, that rumour is false." Cole lied. "I'm just a normal waiter."


"Really? Cole Randy Leister Hence, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it your voice I heard outside?"


Cole immediately sighed. "Yes, it's true. Let's go talk somewhere, my break is coming up anyway." He leads Louis through the kitchen as the others look at him.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In his office at Darkley's, Lloyd was looking through the telescope to see Cole and his father coming out of the back and start talking. "So, his father is a member of the Royal Blacksmiths?" He asked. "Annoying bunch that."


"Actually, sir, they haven't been active for 18 months." Samukai said as he came up to him with a newspaper clipping. "Found it in one of the students' rooms."


"Guess I was behind on the times." He takes the clipping and looked at the title. "'Royal Silence.' That's it!" He immediately raised his Mega Weapon. "I wish for a being that can silence anyone it comes across! Seal their mouths completely shut!" The end of the Mega Weapon glows and a nearby Skulkin starts to move about and shake as if it was electrocuted before energy surrounded it and engulfed it.


The energy mist soon dispersed a skeleton with what appeared to be a tape dispenser on its head. "Muton at your service, Lord Garmadon." It said.


"How good is a skeleton with a roll of tape on its head gonna do against those Rangers?" Samukai asked.


"Never talk like that at our master!" Muton opened its mouth, and a roll of energy hits Samukai's mouth, completely sealing it shut and he starts muffling.


"Ah, I like that." Lloyd said. "Now, Muton, make sure to silence every mouth in Ninjago City, even the Rangers."


"Yes, my lord."


โ€”โ€”โ€”


At the back of Master Chen's, Cole and Louis were still talking before Louis soon sighed. "So, they heard your song over the radio?" Louis asked.


"When that monster hypnotised us all with those hypnotic waves, the Power Rangers took one of my demo CDs and I end up getting hired along with my friends." Cole replied, lying about his involvement.


"Gotta thank those Rangers. But, I think that they are just gonna get themselves seriously hurt."


"Dad, we- They stick their necks out for Ninjago City!" Cole had almost blew his cover as a Power Ranger.


"Can't the police handle those skeletons and monsters? Leave it to them."


"The police don't know how. Which is why the Rangers exist."


"You look like you know them."


"I'm a fan of the Black Ranger and they saved my life a few times." Cole lied again.


"I'm glad, but still."


"Look, what is your reason for coming to Ninjago City?"


"I'm putting together a new band. I want you in it as the lead singer."


"What? Dad, I'm fine where I am. This is where I grew up, this is where I go to school at Ninjago Academy, this is where mom died."


"Cole, please. Think about-" Cole's Spinjitzu Watch immediately beeped. "What was that?"


"Listen, my break's over. We'll talk later." He heads over to the door.


"Cole, just think about it." Cole had briefly stopped before heading back inside.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Inside, Cole comes up to Kai, Jay, Zane, Nya and LJ. "Master Wu saw a monster on the Spirit Smoke." Kai said, looking around because LJ is a not an employee and a minor.


"Where?"


"Ninjago Park. Let's get going." They soon took off.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In Ninjago Park, Muton fires its tape at a young couple, shutting their mouths shut, causing them to scream, but were muffled before running away. "Hey!" Jay's voice was heard.


Muton turned to see the Rangers, all morphed, running at them. "Skulkins, attack!" It yelled as some Skulkins charge at them.


"Cole, LJ, take that tapehead." Kai said, grabbing a Skulkin before kicking as Jay knees one, knocking it down before Nya rolled over it to kick another one and Zane jumped back, placing his hands on the ground before jumping back up to kick another Skulkin, causing it to come apart.


LJ grabs hold of Cole's wrists and turned as he jumped up, kicked Muton, knocking it back and lets go to spin-kick it. Cole lands on the ground before crouching down to allow LJ to somersault over him and try to kick Muton, but it forces him back, knocking him into Kai, who catches him and he quickly kicked a Skulkin behind him.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside the park, a limo stops at a set of traffic lights before the right rear window unrolled, revealing Louis. "The Spinjitzu Power Rangers." He said. "I really wish that they left all of this to the police, for their sake."


Muton pushes Cole aside and fired its tape at LJ and Kai. "Guys!" Cole yelled.


"LJ!" Kai yelled before pushing LJ aside and was hit before collapsing forward.


"Kai!" LJ yelled, coming up to him. "Are you alright?" Kai tries to speak, but it is muffled. "What?" Kai tried to speak, but was still muffled.


Muton soon struck Cole aside and moved down to him. "Now it's your turn to be silent." It said.


Jay throws the Skulkin he was fighting down before turning to see Muton about to seal Cole's mouth through the helmet. "Cole!" He yelled, running at them. Muton prepared to fire before Jay pushes it down, but it fires its shot, hitting Jay and he rolled to the sound and he started to muffle.


"Jay!" Nya yelled, coming up to him.


Muton laughed as it was about to fire another shot before it noticed the limo, got out a big blaster and aimed at it. Cole got up and saw it was aimed at the limo and his father. "Dad!" He yelled, running into the blast's path and takes it to his back, causing an explosion and sending him into the air a bit before collapsing forward as a result and demorphed.


Muton laughed before it took off. "Another time, Rangers." It said.


Cole groaned as he slowly got up and Louis sees him. "Cole?" He asked before getting out.


"Master Lou!" The driver yelled, but he ignored him as he came over to injured son, followed by the other Rangers.


"Cole."


Cole kept groaning as he slowly got onto one knee. He had a cut on the back of his left hand and some cuts and bruises on his chest, forehead and his sweatshirt was torn. "Dad." He said, shocked at his father finding out who he was.


"No, don't talk. Get in the car." Cole just looked at him, in shock. "The car, now!" Cole gets up and heads over to the limo before Lou turned to the other Rangers and LJ helped Kai up while Nya helped up Jay. "You should be ashamed of yourselves!" He heads over to the limo as Cole was looking on. "Get in!" He does so as Lou got in as well and closed the door before the limo drives away as the Rangers soon demorph with LJ returning to his original size.


"Can you believe him?" Nya asked.


"I know." Zane replied. "For a parent to discover a secret can be shocking."


They soon look at Jay and Kai, showing their mouths were sealed, as if they were completely gone. "Guys, are you okay?" LJ asked. They both nod.


"Let's get them back to the monastery. We can worry about Cole later."


"Right." LJ and Nya said before they soon took off.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the study at the monastery, Kai tries to pull the tape off of his mouth while Zane was pulling at Jay's, laughing through his closed mouth as he did so, while he tries to stay still. "That Skulkin sealed their mouths shut." LJ said to Wu while pouring some laundry detergent into a cup of hot water and started to stir it.


"Why use detergent and hot water?" Nya asked.


"Old Darkley's School trick." He picks it up and heads over to Kai. "We often do it whenever we spill glue on ourselves. We even pranked this newbie once, ended up getting detention for a month, spent half of it, mixing detergent and hot water in order to free him." He comes up next to him, getting a scoop of the mixture in the spoon and holds the cup under his chin to catch any excess mix. "Kai, move your hands away, this is gonna sting a bit." He pours the mixture over Kai's mouth, causing him to yell which is muffled.


"By the way, where is Cole now?" Wu asked.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Inside a building, a couple of servants in tuxedos tend to Cole, who has a bandage on the back of his left hand, bandages wrapped around his chest and forehead and doesn't have his shirt on anymore. One servant soon moved his left arm. "I'm fine!" He yelled, forcing him to let go.


The servants soon leave as Lou came in, carrying an orange t-shirt with the name 'Royal Blacksmiths' on it, as well as four signatures on it, and a black cardigan. "Still got some of your clothes here." He said, handing them to him. "In case you wanted to come home, son."


"Thanks." Cole takes them and immediately puts the t-shirt on.


"I cannot believe you're a Power Ranger. Do you realize what that means?"


"It means I save the world." He soon puts the cardigan on.


"No, you could end up dead, or worse. Your mother would turn over her grave if she knew you were a Power Ranger."


"Mom was a Power Ranger, dad."


"What?"


"That's why I am one. It's the reason why I left Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts."


โ€”โ€”โ€”


1 Year Earlier


Outside of a big school, Cole, wearing a private school uniform consisting of a grey beret, grey blazer, black vest, white shirt, grey slacks, red, black and yellow striped tie and black boots, was carrying a satchel before straightening his left shoulder. "Stupid dance move!" He yelled, taking off his satchel and threw it aside, into some bushes. "Wish dad never put me in that stupid school."


"Probably because he doesn't know the truth." Someone called out. Cole turned to the side to see Wu, who is sipping some tea while sitting on a bench.


"The truth?" Cole soon came up to him. "What truth, old man?"


"Your mother. Her name is Abigail, right?"


"Yes."


"She was a good friend. And a great fighter."


"Fighter?" He sits down next to him. Wu then gets out the Black Spinjitzu Watch and holds it out to him. "A watch?"


"A Spinjitzu Watch. It belonged to your mother. She was the Black Power Ranger."


"You mean those Rangers who fought in the Serpentine War?" Cole soon stood up. "No way. No way am I buying that story! Don't think that you want me to be friends with you either. Besides, you have no respect points." He starts to walk away.


Wu then stood up. "Your mother was the same way." Cole soon stopped. "She said I had 200 respect points."


"She did?"


"Yes." Wu comes up to him, holding out the Spinjitzu Watch. "You were destined to succeed your mother. And even though she is gone, I'm very sure that she would be proud of you. And that you would want this."


"Okay then." Cole soon took it and put it on. "When do we start?" Wu soon smiled.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Present


"I carry on her legacy." Cole said.


"That's ridiculous." Lou replied. "You know what? I'm glad you ran away. Cause all you did was lie. You lied about your reason why you walked away from Marty Oppenheimer's, why you left this mansion and now, you're lying about your mother. I want you out!"


"What?"


"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GO!"


"If you think I lie, what's the point in me still having this on me?" Cole dug his hand into his pocket, got out a CD in a case and placed it on the table before walking out.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the house in question was a mansion as he walked over to the front gate before turning to look at the mansion. "I always hated that place anyway." He continued walking, pushing the gates open as he did so and some servants immediately pulled them shut.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the study at the monastery, LJ pulls on the tape on Kai's mouth, but groaned. "Not even the detergent mix worked." He said, backing away, rubbing his hair.


"Maybe if we defeated that monster, they could return to normal." Nya replied.


"That is a possibility." Zane said as he was still pulling on the tape on Jay's mouth before putting a foot on his leg, but soon fell back, knocking a chair over, as he lost grip on the tape. Jay groaned in pain, but it wasn't heard before he grabbed a nearby note pad, wrote on it and turned to show it to them. It said, 'That really hurts!' "Sorry."


Smoke soon filled the room and they see a vision of Muton. "Maybe you can get another chance." Wu replied. "Rangers, time to shut its mouth." He then turned to Kai and Jay. "Uh, no offence." Kai grabs another note pad as Jay took the written paper off and writes another one while Kai wrote on his before they turn them around. Kai's said, 'None taken.', while Jay's said, 'Ha, ha.' Zane, Nya and LJ soon take off.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


On the streets of Ninjago City, Muton fires its tape at Skylor, as Seliel hides behind a car. "Skylor!" She yelled as Muton takes off and they run away. "Let's get out of here!"


Muton moves along the streets as civilians ran away from it as Zane, LJ and Nya show up. "Time to take down this muter." Zane said before raising his left arm. "Ready?"


"Ready." They both replied.


"Spinjitzu!" They all said. Zane and Nya move their right thumbs to their Spinjitzu Watches while LJ kneels down as he moved his left arm close to his right shoulder as his right hand touched the Emerald Spinjitzu Watch.


"Emerald Power!" LJ added.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Zane and Nya move their left hands by their right shoulders as they moved their right elbows back while LJ jumps in the air as he held his arms out. "Ninjago!" They soon start spinning as their assigned coloured tornadoes soon appear and engulf them. They soon disperse revealing Zane, LJ and Nya, in their Ranger suits. Zane and Nya were on their right knees with their right arms spread out and their left arms in front of their right knees while LJ lands with left leg out while the right knee was bent, left arm spread out to the side and right arm in front of him before they look up as their assigned colour wind soon engulf their heads, turning into their assigned coloured helmets with LJ's height extending.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


"Combo kick!" Nya yelled as she, Zane and LJ immediately poised and charge at Muton as Zane and LJ come side to side and hold their hands out before Nya jumped up and bounced off to kick it.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


At his mansion, Lou picks up the CD, heads over to a stereo and inserts it. Silent bongo beating was soon heard, followed by guitar and piano music. "๐ŸŽถDarkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us๐ŸŽถ" Cole and Lou's voices were heard as well as a woman's as Lou sheds a tear. "๐ŸŽถMy dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me. Darkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us. My dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me๐ŸŽถ" He then looked at a photo of himself, a young Cole and his wife.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


On the streets of Ninjago, Zane backflips as he avoids Muton's tape attack before LJ uses his chain whip to strike it, causing it to turn to him and kick it. "Hey!" Nya was heard as Muton turned to see her, holding her spear out to it to fire a flow of water, but it barely effects it as Zane gets out his bow and arrow and fires two arrows from behind it. Muton quickly turned to avoid them as they hit the ground near Nya and LJ before ice formed around them, trapping them.


Nya quickly moved her left arm to her helmet. "Cole!" She said into her Spinjitzu Watch.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


At a graveyard, Cole places a bouquet of black hollyhocks on a grave before looking at the tombstone. It said, "Abigail Hence, September 8 2010 - September 10 2045, Beloved mother and wife. A born fighter.' "He wouldn't listen, mom." He said. "He doesn't believe your past." His Spinjitzu Watch soon beeped. "Yeah?"


"Cole, that monster is back, and we can't get free."


"I'm on my way." Cole gets up and takes off, vaulting over the fence as he did so.


Back out on the streets, Zane strikes Muton with his bow, but it holds up its left arm to block it before it soon fired its tape, hitting Zane, causing him to muffle and kicked him down. Muton immediately laughed as it got out its blaster. "Now I get to destroy the Rangers." It said.


"Think again!"


"What?" Cole charges at Muton with his hammer before striking its head, breaking the tape dispenser apart and its pieces land on the ground. "No!"


"Hey, I can speak again." Zane said.


"Then that must mean..." Nya replied.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the study at the monastery, Kai and Jay feel the tape coming off and their mouths become visible. "Finally, I can breathe again." Jay said.


"They must've been successful, let's go." Kai replied before they got up and took off.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Back on the streets, Muton growled as it looked at its pieces. "Sealing your mouths won't matter now!" It yelled, holding up its blaster. "I can still vaporize you!"


Cole quickly presses his Spinjitzu Watch, immediately morphing into his Ranger form, and rolled to the side as the shot hits the ice around Nya and LJ, melting it and freeing them. "LJ, gonna need your power." He said.


"Right." LJ replied, getting out his sword and came up next to him. "Energy Blast!" He holds out his sword, creating an energy wave.


"Earth Blow, final attack!" Cole holds his hammer out, firing a flow of dirt at the energy wave, turning it green as it soon hits Muton, causing it to scream and explode. They watch as the remains of Muton land on the ground.


"Hey!" Kai was heard as they turn to see him and Jay coming up to them.


"You're okay." Nya said, putting her arms around them.


"Yeah." Close by, Lou watches on from a nearby building and smiled.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In his office at Darkley's, Lloyd kicks a Skulkin aside as he came up to the window and held out his Mega Weapon. "I wish for you to grow!" He yelled as the Mega Weapon emits energy before a spark of energy comes out of it.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Out on the streets, Muton's pieces come together and it immediately grows before laughing. The Rangers look on, in shock. "Better morph, guys." Cole said to Kai and Jay. They nod and raise their left arms.


"Spinjitzu!" They both said, moving their right thumbs to their Spinjitzu Watches.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Kai and Jay move their left hands by their right shoulders as they move their right elbows back. "Ninjago!" They start spinning as their assigned coloured tornadoes soon appear and engulf them. They soon disperse revealing Kai and Jay, in their Ranger suits. They were on their right knees with their right arms spread out and their left arms in front of their right knees before they look up as their assigned coloured winds soon engulf each of their heads, turning into their assigned coloured helmets.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


The Red Lion Zord rises up and the front paws retract, revealing hands, the back legs retract before the Blue Octopus Zord come underneath it and as four of the tentacles combine into a leg while the other four did the same with the body and head moving up to connect with the Red Lion Zord while the Black Bear Zord and White Tiger Zord come underneath the Octopus Zord before their legs and head retract as the Black Bear Zord's body retracts back a bit before it and the White Tiger Zord attach to the bottom of the Blue Octopus Zord and the Maroon Phoenix Zord flies up to the back of the Red Lion Zord before detaching as the wings attach to the arms and the head and body connect to the Lion Zord's head before the head moves down to cover the Lion Zord's head, making a face before it poised. "Spinjitzu Megazord!" Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole and Nya said.


"Emerald Dragon Zord, Mega Mode!" LJ said as the Emerald Dragon Zord moved upward before stopping for the arms and legs to straighten up. The tail moves up to the back as the wings did the same until they came at the tail and detach to allow the tail and wings to stay on the back, the arms move back a bit and the wrists open up to have the paws turn around into the wrists, replacing them with regular hands before the wrists return to normal, the ankles open up to have the paws turn around into the ankles, replacing them with normal feet before the ankles closed up and the dragon face tilted upward as the lower jaw slides down into the body, revealing a face before it poised.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Inside the cockpit, LJ looked while in the Spinjitzu Megazord, the others did the same.


"LJ, take the back." Kai said.


"Right."


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the Emerald Dragon Megazord moves around as Muton turned to it to try and fire its tape, but the Spinjitzu Megazord grabs hold of the tape as the Emerald Dragon Megazord immediately punched it, knocking it back, but it flips back and kicks the Spinjitzu Megazord. In the cockpit, the Ranger shook from the attack. "Sneaky little skeleton." Jay said.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, Muton soon ran to the side as it went around the Megazord. In the cockpit, they look on, in confusion. "What's it doing?" Nya asked.


"It's going to trap us in its tape!" Zane replied. "It's still in our Megazord's hand!"


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the Spinjitzu Megazord lets go of the tape, but it was too late as Muton soon pulled back, making the Megazord fall down. The Emerald Dragon Megazord soon charged at Muton and tried to punch it, but it moves to the side and kicks it. "Take this!" It yelled, about to fire its tape.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the cockpit, LJ immediately pressed a button. "Dragon Mode, engage!" He yelled.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the Emerald Dragon Megazord's lower jaw rises up to cover the face, the ankles open up for the feet to return and the paws to come back out, the wrists open up and the hands move back in as the paws come back out before the arms move forward, the tail and wings come off and reattach to their original spots and the Zord moves downward, returning to its original mode. The Emerald Dragon Zord quickly flew to the side as the tape nearly hits it before it turned and fired green flames at Muton's head, breaking dispenser apart. The tape around the Spinjitzu Megazord soon came off and it gets up.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the cockpit, the Rangers look on, in amazement. "Thanks, LJ." Kai said.


"Don't mention it. Now, let's finish that tapehead. Sword Mode, engage."


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the Emerald Dragon Zord stops before the back legs spread out and move close to the body while the front legs turn to the sides, turning it into Sword Mode before the Spinjitzu Megazord grabs it.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the cockpit, LJ appears next to Jay as Kai turned to Cole. "Care to do the honours?" He asked.


"Really?" Cole asked.


"Yeah." Kai gets off his control space for Cole, who soon got onto it and Kai took his spot.


Cole soon held his hands together. "Emerald Dragon Sword, final strike!" He moves his hands down.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, the Megazord raises its arm before moving it down on Muton. Muton screamed before it soon fell down forward and explodes.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


In the cockpit, the Rangers cheer as Cole looked on. "A spinning victory."


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Outside, Lou looked on before smiling. "Your mother would be proud of you, Cole." He said before walking away.


โ€”โ€”โ€”


Later that night, at Chen's Noodle House, Kai, Jay, Zane, Nya, LJ and Wu were all seated at a booth as Cole was on stage, getting ready. "I'm glad Cole came as soon as he did." Zane said.


"If it weren't for him, you two would've been mutes forever." LJ replied.


"Very funny, kid." Jay said.


"Anyway, I wonder what Cole is gonna sing tonight?" Wu asked.


"He said it was a bit of a personal one." Zane replied.


"Thank you all for coming tonight." Cole said as they turn to the stage. "Now, this one is sort of what I used to do with my family. The last thing we ever did actually before my mother passed. This was her song." He then turned to the band and nodded before they started playing and Cole turned back to the microphone. "๐ŸŽถYou say darkness can't compare, Can't compare to what we have today. We aren't so lonely for the hurt, The hurt that has been left behind๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถPlease don't say you're not a waste of space๐ŸŽถ" Someone sang as Cole turned to see it was Lou, by the piano, causing some customers to applaud.


"๐ŸŽถBecause you're the light of the world๐ŸŽถ"


Cole quickly turned back to his microphone. "๐ŸŽถDarkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us๐ŸŽถ" Cole and his father sang. "๐ŸŽถMy dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me. Darkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us My dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถThe pain may not go away, But don't let it become the darkness๐ŸŽถ" Lou sang. "๐ŸŽถLike the sun in the sky, You can bright up our entire world๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถLike the clouds in the sky, You can rain down the only thing to save us from dehydration, And keep us all relieved๐ŸŽถ" Cole sang.


"๐ŸŽถDarkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us๐ŸŽถ" Cole and his father sang. "๐ŸŽถMy dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me. Darkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us My dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถDon't think of darkness as your friend, Darkness is not your ally, It just wants to swallow you whole, It just wants to swallow you whole๐ŸŽถ" Cole sang.


"๐ŸŽถThe light in you is your real friend, Say that it is your real friend, Light is your friend๐ŸŽถ" Lou sang.


"๐ŸŽถWe'll never be a waste of space, Because we are the lights of the world๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถDarkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us๐ŸŽถ" Cole and his father sang. "๐ŸŽถMy dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me. Darkness cannot destroy the world, Because the world is protected by lights like us, And no one can ever, Take that light away from us My dreams are full of light, Like the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถDarkness is not our friend, For the light is our real friend๐ŸŽถ"


"๐ŸŽถLike the light in my soul, The light can purify the darkness, And never bring it closer to me, Never bring it close to me๐ŸŽถ" The song soon ended and the Rangers, Wu and the customers applaud as Cole came up to Lou as he stood up and they hugged each other.


"I'm sorry for not believing you, Cole." Lou said.


"Don't worry about it, pop." Cole replied.


"You know? Be what you want be."


"Thanks." They soon hug once again.
