Everyone ran as fast as they could towards the mountain, running up was a hard challenge especially when its getting dark, running past by the place, Rantaro look around the surroundings



Rantaro: yep, this is definetly the place he would go to
Shuichi: we're on the right track than
Kaito: *cough* argh dude this illness is killing me the second time, who wouldve thought running is so munch torture?!
Maki: it wouldn't happend if you actually train with us instead of laying on the ground!
Miu: ugh! *Cough* hell running is making my throat dry... *Inhale* i swear if we don't find that gremlin I'm gonna-
Keade: wiat!
Kiibo: what is it Keade?
Keade: shhhh... listen...

Everyone got quiet and try to listen to whatever Keade hears, than she picks up on it, a beautiful sound of melody playing nearby, her pianist instinct guide her

Keade: f-follow me! This- w-way!

Everyone ran after Keade as she keeps trying to track down where the melody comes from, the closer she gets, the higher up the mountain they go, and everyone else was also beginning to be able to hear the melody, its a very soothing tune, 1 that could easily out ones heart at rest thinking that everything is ok

Soon enough, they found themselves looking up ahead to see someone in a white kimono, wearing a black hat, has odd wavy hair holding 2 purple fan with knives in hand dancing as the moonlight illuminate their figure down from above

Keade: that must h-him! *Cough* Ouma kun!

The person stopped dancing, and than looked around like they were a confuse child

Miu: the hell? Hey gremlin!! Get down here!!!

The person turned around and they indeed was Kokichi but 1 thing they didnt expect to see on him was the bandages over his eyes

Shuichi: bandages?

Kokichi waves his hands around infront of him like hes searching for something and walks- more like wobble his way down to them

Miu: what the hell is he doing?
Keade: Ouma kun can you hear us?

Kokichi nods in response

Shuichi: can you speak?

He shakes his head

Miu: are ya fucking blind now?!

Kokichi makes a "kinda" hand gesture and shrugs

Shuichi: well now tha we found you, can you help us get to the mountain? The 1 with the portal?
Kaito: yeah! I wanna get out of here!!

Kokichi takes 2 steps back and simply shakes his head

Shuichi: huh?!
Miu: why the hell are you backing away and shakin ya head?! We need to leave!!

Kokichi simply cross his arms as his hips sway, showing a unamused face

Shuichi: hes not joking... he really dosent want to go?
Kaito: what?! Why not?! C'mon man do you seriously want to stay in a freaking video game?!

Kokichi shrugs, frustrating everyone

Himiko: this is no time for your game Kokichi! If this is a attempt to get revenge on us for ruining your plan, can't you do it after we all get back to the real world?!
Tenko: yeah! What Himiko said

Kokichi than makes hand gestures with his hand, confusing everyone

Gonta: Gonta confused, what he doing?
Kiibo: its sign langue, to translate, he said " that has nothing to do with this, i simply don't want to go, you all can go for all I care"
Rantaro: Kokichi buddy this place is nice and all but we can't stay here, this is a video game world and we don't even know the nature and rules of this game, so its better off if we leave
Kiibo: he said " I'm not leaving bro, I'm not going to help them, sorry"
Maki: are you serious right now?! Just the moment you can prove yourself to be useful you decide to do this?!
Shuichi: Maki wiat!

Maki walks straight up to Kokichi clearly with I'll intent when Kokichi tilt his head to the right and a bullet hit Maki shoulder, making her go down with a numb arm

Kaito: Makiroll! Hey! What did you do?!
???: stopping her from assulting someone

Everyone look behind Kokichi to see a small child holding a toy gun that came straight out of a fantasy game

???: if you people don't leave him alone, I'll give you a shot too
Miu: who the hell are you brat?!
Aoi: i am Aoi, his caretaker, I'm in charge of nursing this person back to health, and I'm not going to allow you to hurt innocent people, unless you want to get arrested by the Tenryou commission, leave!
Kaito: the heck a Tenryou commission?
Kiibo: oh he said " basicly their like police and officers in this game but their also mainly soldiers"
Miu: stay out of this kid! We need to drag that gremlin ass back with us!
Tenko: no wiat! Don't hurt a small innocent female! Even if she's protecting that degenerate male
Aoi: seriously? You people are the ones going around asulting a weak injured person! Who are you calling de- uh... degen- um

Kokichi put his hands on the child shoulders making her look at him, he simply shakes his head and signal her to leave with him

Aoi: mh... ok...
Miu: hey!! Where are you going?!
Keade: Miu... plz..
Kaito: great now what do we do?!
Monokuma: puhuhuhuhu! Having a little friend argument are we?
Himiko: what the heck Monokuma?! Is this your doing?! Why won't Kokichi leave with us?
Monokuma: not my problem, if anything its all your fault anyways, you practically hate his guts for everything, even when he died, you show no sympathy, well seems like the table has turned~ karma sucks dosent it? I geuss the only way to rope him into helping you is by gaining his trust! But that kid is forced to bed rest now and you kid need sleep too! Its way past your bed time!
Shuichi: but where do we sleep?
Monokuma: in there! That house was specially made for all of you to sleep in, sience Tsumugi knows you'll have lots of trouble so she programmed it just for you
Himiko: so generous..... im gonna hurl
Monokuma: get in there and sleep tight!
