The group spent a sleepless night helping Talia out. They all looked fatigued the next morning and yawned. "ṡȏяяʏ ɢȗʏṡ" apologized Talia. "A͙t͙ l͙e͙a͙s͙t͙ y͙o͙u͙'r͙e͙ ok T͙a͙l͙i͙a͙" added Zolzar. Raef made his move to try and connect with Vizad. The dark mystic looked around sensing the ghost whispers confused. "ⓥⓘⓩⓐⓓ ⓦⓗⓐⓣ ⓘⓢ ⓘⓣ?" Asked Baron.  Vizad concentrated before nodding and looked somewhere.

"ႮႬ.... პႩRႠႬ Ⴀტ ViჰႩმ wႬႩႠ'Ⴝ ႺტiႶႺ ტႶ?" Asked Skybrine.  Liza split, Zolzar, Talia and Samael were confused.  "F̶o̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ m̶e̶, I̶ t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶ w̶e̶ h̶a̶v̶e̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶" added Vizad.  Everyone was confused but Baron focused recalling the rest of the museum.  "ⓝⓔⓧⓣ ⓞⓝⓔ... ⓣⓗⓔ ⓖⓡⓔⓔⓚ ⓔⓧⓗⓘⓑⓘⓣ" added Baron.  They noticed Vizad heading off somewhere.  "W̥ͦh̥ͦe̥ͦr̥ͦe̥ͦ's̥ͦ s̥ͦh̥ͦe̥ͦ g̥ͦo̥ͦi̥ͦn̥ͦg̥ͦ?" Asked Samael.  The others followed and looked around.

Everyone soon was at a locked exhibit and saw Vizad sneak in.   "ωнαт'ѕ gσιиg σи?" Asked Liza split.  Vizad soon returned with a grim look on her face.  "ⓑⓘⓣⓒⓗ ⓢⓣⓞⓟ ⓦⓐⓛⓚⓘⓝⓖ ⓐⓡⓞⓤⓝⓓ ⓛⓘⓚⓔ ⓐ ⓒⓗⓘⓒⓚⓔⓝ ⓦⓘⓣⓗ ⓨⓞⓤr ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ ⓗⓔⓐⓓ ⓒⓤⓣ ⓞⓕⓕ" added Baron.  "Y͙e͙a͙h͙ t͙a͙l͙k͙ t͙o͙ u͙s͙" added Zolzar.  Vizad looked at Baron and exhaled.  "B̶a̶r̶o̶n̶....

Raef appeared next to Baron.  "ⓦⓐⓘⓣ... ⓣⓗⓔ ⓖⓔⓝⓘⓔ ⓒⓡⓨⓢⓣⓐⓛ?" Asked Baron.  "ɬɧɛ ƈrყʂɬąƖ ıʂ ყơųr ƙɛყ, Ɩąʂɬ ųʂɛɖ ıɬ ცrơųɠɧɬ ɧɛƖ℘... ɬɧıʂ ɬıɱɛ ῳɛ ɱąყ ცɛ ąცƖɛ ɬơ ųʂɛ ɛŋơųɠɧ ʄơr ơŋɛ rɛ۷ı۷ąƖ ცɛʄơrɛ ı ɖơ ɬɧɛ ɱąʝơr ơŋɛ ąʄɬɛr ɛʂƈą℘ɛ" added Raef.  "wႩiႠ... if ႠႬႩႠ'Ⴝ ႠRႮპ..." Added Skybrine.  "ṃѧʏɞє ẇє ċѧṅ ѧṭ ʟєѧṡṭ яєṿıṿє єʟıṡṡѧ... ṡһє ԀıԀṅ'ṭ Ԁєṡєяṿє һєя Ԁєѧṭһ" finished Talia.  "P̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶ t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶...

They went to the Greek exhibit first since that's the next place unlocked.  "W̥ͦh̥ͦo̥ͦḁͦ..." Added Samael seeing the statues all over the place.  "ı ṅєṿєя ɢȏṭ ṭһıṡ ғѧя... ẇȏẇ ıṭ'ṡ ʟıҡє ѧ ṡṭȏṅє ɢѧяԀєṅ һєяє" added Talia.  The group looked around but of course Zolzar and a ghosty Raef gave a dagger glare at each other only to act innocent when Vizad looked over.  "ⓤⓖⓗ ⓘ ⓢⓦⓔⓐⓡ ⓘⓜⓜⓐ ⓟⓤⓝⓒⓗ ⓐ ⓡⓔⓐⓟⓔⓡ ⓦⓗⓔⓝ ⓦⓔ'ⓡⓔ ⓞⓤⓣ ⓞⓕ ⓗⓔⓡⓔ" added Baron.  "Hey we have delicate wings!" Both Raef and Zolzar said hiding behind them.  The others burst out laughing at the twin reaction.  "ⓚⓝⓔⓦ ⓢⓞⓜⓔⓣⓗⓘⓝⓖ ⓛⓘⓚⓔ ⓣⓗⓐⓣ ⓦⓞⓤⓛⓓ ⓦⓞⓡⓚ" added Baron sashaying somewhere. 

Liza split gasped walking to one statue that was there.  "тнє ¢σℓℓє¢тσя..." Added Liza split.  The others came over and saw it too.  "ṡһє єṅԀєԀ ȗƿ һєяє?" Asked Talia.  "ⓣⓤⓡⓝⓔⓓ ⓣⓞ ⓢⓣⓞⓝⓔ ⓑⓨ ⓙⓞⓔⓨ ⓗⓘⓜⓢⓔⓛⓕ" added Baron.  Raef shrugged a bit saying "ŋơɬ ɛąʂყ ɬơ ɠɛɬ ɧɛr ʂɬıƖƖ".  Zolzar then grabbed something and came over.  " h͙e͙r͙e͙ g͙u͙y͙s͙ " he said. 

The group looked.  "ⓘⓣ'ⓢ ⓐ ⓝⓞⓣⓔ... ⓑⓘⓣⓒⓗ ⓝⓞ ⓝⓞⓣ ⓣⓗⓐⓣ!" Exclaimed Baron.  The rest were confused except Raef who sighed a bit.  "ῳɛ're ɠơıŋɠ ıŋ ɬɧɛ ɱąʑɛ ąrɛŋ'ɬ ῳɛ" asked Raef.  "ⓨⓔⓟ.... ⓣⓘⓜⓔ ⓣⓞ ⓡⓔⓣⓤⓡⓝ ⓣⓞ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓜⓐⓩⓔ ⓕⓞⓡ ⓜⓞⓡⓔ ⓐⓝⓢⓦⓔⓡⓢ" stated Baron.  "I̶'m̶ g̶u̶e̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ y̶o̶u̶ b̶o̶t̶h̶ h̶a̶d̶ a̶ b̶a̶d̶ e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶?"

"ωσω.... ∂ι∂и'т єχρє¢т тнαт" added Liza split.  "ʟєṭ'ṡ ṅȏṭ Ԁẇєʟʟ ȏṅ ṭһє ɞѧԀ ṃєṃȏяıєṡ... ẇє һѧṿє ɞȗṡıṅєṡṡ ṭȏ Ԁȏ!"

Asked Vizad curious.  The others actually got curious too looking over.  Baron chuckled and dramatically spun to face them before bowing. 

"ⓘ ⓜⓐⓨ ⓝⓞw ⓑⓔ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓛⓔader ⓣⓞ ⓖⓔⓣ ⓟⓔⓞⓟⓛⓔ ⓞⓤⓣ ⓑⓤⓣ ⓢⓐⓨ ⓗⓔⓛⓛⓞ ⓣⓞ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓤⓛⓣⓘⓜⓐⓣⓔ ⓟⓛⓐⓨⓑⓞⓨ ⓑⓘⓣⓒⓗⓔⓢ!"

Asked Liza split.  "ⓨⓔⓐⓗ ⓣⓗⓘⓢ ⓦⓐⓢ ⓦⓗⓔⓡⓔ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓛⓐⓢⓣ ⓒⓗⓐⓛⓛⓔⓝⓖⓔ ⓕⓡⓞⓜ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓟⓡⓔⓥⓘⓞⓤⓢ ⓥⓘⓢⓘⓣ ⓦⓐⓢ" added Baron.  They all came to the center. 

"ȗṃṃṃ ẇѧṡ ṭһѧṭ ṡһяıṅє ṭһєяє ɞєғȏяє?" Asked Talia.  Baron and the others looked to where Talia pointed.  "ⓐⓒⓣⓤⓐⓛⓛⓨ.... ⓝⓞ.... ⓣⓗⓐⓣ ⓦⓐⓢⓝ'ⓣ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ ⓑⓔⓕⓞⓡⓔ... ⓐⓝⓓ ⓑⓐⓓ ⓝⓔⓦⓢ... ⓘⓣ'ⓢ ⓝⓞⓣ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓜⓘⓝⓞⓣⓐⓤⓡ" added Baron.  "I̶t̶'s̶ a̶ b̶i̶t̶ d̶a̶r̶k̶ i̶n̶ h̶e̶r̶e̶, c̶a̶n̶ a̶n̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ g̶i̶v̶e̶ u̶s̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶ l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶" asked Vizad.  "F͙i͙n͙e͙..." Added Zolzar before he created this huge ring of purple and black flame around themselves and the area revealing the shrine was designed for a bear.  A bear that had a similar appearance to Monotaro except this one was black and white.  "O͙k͙ d͙i͙d͙n͙'t͙ e͙x͙p͙e͙c͙t͙ t͙h͙a͙t͙" added Zolzar.  "ṃȏṅȏṭѧяȏ ṃєṅṭıȏṅєԀ ṭẇȏ ṅѧṃєṡ.... ṃȏṅȏԀѧṃ ѧṅԀ ṃȏṅȏҡȗṃѧ.... ṭһıṡ ṃȗṡṭ ɞє ȏṅє ȏғ ṭһєṃ" added Talia.

The group was about to get a closer look but Raef stopped them.  "ŋơ ŋɛɛɖ ɬơ ƈɧɛƈƙ.... ı ʄąƈɛɖ ɬɧıʂ ცɛąr ცɛʄơrɛ... ıɬ'ʂ ɱơŋơƙųɱą" added Raef.  They all looked at him.

(A/N: the crystal to maybe get Elissa or someone else back early.   A shrine to Monokuma.  But where's the Minotaur?  And Baron remembers his talent luckily.  Still ... Big question is who's the mastermind?   Hope you all enjoy though).
