Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin is watching Glory and her friends swimming in the Coral Sea to get the photo once again while stuffing his face with cheese puffs and a drink of prune juice.

"Aah what a perfect day for me to watch my student and her comrades completing the mission." Merlin chirps.

"Indeed Merlin."

Merlin sighs and turns his head to see Vivien.

"Well if it isn't lover woman herself." He teases implying about her slow bond with Sam making the brunette lake goddess roll her eyes.

"We're just acquaintances, Merlin." She retorts as Vivien walks to the tiny wizard's desk when Vivien brought a chair and sat next to Merlin.

"Came here for Sundrop." He ask curiously and she nods.

"You know me Merlin. I'm like a mother bear who's looking after her child." She reassures.

"That's reasonable. As I felt the same way for my sundrop." He assures.

"I know that I'm a school nurse, but as a mentor, I must look out for my student. So why not sit back and watch how the show unfolds?" Merlin insists.

"Again, I had a vision this morning so I might as well join you." Vivien restates with the tiny wizard chortling softly.

"Gladly." Merlin replies with a grin. As soon as they turn their heads back to the crystal ball, Merlin crept a sly smirk.

"So how are things with Sam?~" The playful tiny wizard asks, but Vivien wasn't having of his sly remarks and shove his hat down to his eyes flinching Merlin. He then pulls his hat back up.

"On second thought, never mind." He gives in with the brunette lake goddess huffs with a smirk and glance back at the crystal ball leaving Merlin speechless before letting out a sigh with thoughts swirling around his head.

And she's still the scary and feisty lake goddess as I remembered....

Merlin thought as she turns his head back to the crystal ball where they watched Glory and her friends swimming towards the Atlantica Memorial Museum.

Back at Atlantica Memorial Museum....

"Eeh!! Closed?!" They all shrieked.

"Whoa whoa...This is too unlucky." Jack mutters.

"We haven't been attacked by the Leech brothers at all today, did they know about this?" Deuce guesses.

"Well...I wonder about that." Ace assumes.

"But we're not turning back today." Glory reminds them.

"She's right. Are you saying we should run with our tails between our legs after coming all the way here?" Jack ask skeptically. But soon an idea has pop from his head.

"...Wait a second. I've got an idea." Ace suggests.

"Hm?" All of them looked puzzled as Ace starts explaining his plan. A minute later after Ace explains his plan, Glory and the gang all hide behind the rock where they see two merfolk guards securing the gate.

"Ffgna! In the world of merfolk, even the security guards are merfolk." Grim points out.

"Why are you stating the obvious?...." Deuce sighs.

"Now is not the time to do this Deuce." Glory whispers as she turns her head to Ace.

"Alright Ace. Do your thing." Glory reminds him.

"Okay. I'll keep the mer-security's attention on me. You guys sneak in from the back and get out with that photo." Ace informs.

"You gonna be okay by yourself?" Jack ask skeptically, but Ace kept his head up high and smiles.

"Jack, you're too honest for your own good, Deuce would get tripped up part way through. Leave this to me." Ace reassures as he glance at Glory to flash a wink at her baffling the ravenette as she curls her brows and igniting the jealous flame within Deuce and Jack. Grim looked deadpan at this point.

Boys these days....

Grim thought dryly as Ace turns his shoes and marches up to the guards with a "shock" look on his face.

"Uuhwaaahhh, you serious?!" Ace shrieks.

"...Hm? What's wrong with you?" The first guard ask curiously.

"Is the museum closed today? I can't believe this. I was looking forward to coming here so much..." He mutters feigning his disappointment.

"Oh my...you've got a strange tail fin. Are you a human from the surface? Did you come here alone?" He ask curiously.

"Yes! I've admired the world of the merfolk since I was a little kid." Ace chirps.

"I've been saving up my allowance and bought a potion to finally come all the way here." He explains.

"Holy crap, a real merman! So cool! Do you mind if I get a closer look?" Ace ask with a "bright smile" flattering the merman.

"Oh-oh really? Do you want to see my dorsal fin?" He ask with a flattered grin with the gang watching this from afar.

"Wow, that guy really had no problem keeping you a lie." Grim dryly remarks.

"The security is completely distracted by the conversation. Let's go everyone!" Glory reminds them.

"Agreed with Glory-san. Let's get in while we have the chance!" Deuce reassures as Glory and her friends swiftly sneak into the back of the museum while Ace distracts the guard.

Meanwhile at Corona, Rapunzel and her friends were relaxing in the carriage when Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra were discussing about their recent adventures back when they were young before she was crowned Queen and married her husband.

"This takes me back. Going on adventures with my longtime best friend and my husband gives me nostalgia." Rapunzel chirps.

"Yup. It's like deja vu." Eugene comments with a smile.

"I know right? I never felt so relax and happy since the last time we've embark on an adventure." Cassandra said.

"Exactly Cass! Well except the a few were the bad times. No offense Cass." Rapunzel apologizes, but Cassandra shook her head and smiles.

"It's nothing Raps. Though I have to admit, I really miss going on adventures with you guys. Yet, I betrayed you all and regret everything that I've done..." Cassandra mutters Rapunzel lays her hand on her shoulder and smiled warmly.

"I told you, Cass. It's okay. It's not your fault, it's all in the past. I forgive you." She reassures her with Pascal nodding in agreement.

"And you don't have to worry about being alone because we're going be stuck with you the entire time." Eugene half humorously and half seriously reassures making the ravenette giggle and grin at his usual joking and nonchalant attitude.

"Thanks Eugene." She giggles and Eugene shrugs with a calm smile.

"Anytime Dragon Lady." He joked making her frown with a serious look.

"Can it, Fitzherbert." She seethes as Eugene place his hands up into the air.

"Okay, I'll back off." Eugene said as both girls giggled and glance each other with warm smiles.

"Welcome back, Cass." Rapunzel chirps.

"Glad to be back." Cassandra quips.

Soon the carriage stops when the trio glance at the window to see the temple of Demanitus.

"We're here...." Eugene utters.

"Come on guys, let's go." Rapunzel instructs with Pascal clinging on to her shoulder as she and her friends got out of the carriage to temple where a hint of nostalgia hits Eugene, Pascal, and Rapunzel.

"Whoa...it's still amazing as I remember!" Rapunzel awes with her green chameleon bestie nods in agreement.

"Ugh. I hope that monkey won't chew on my perfect hair like last time." Eugene gags grimacing at the memory of Demanitus gnawing on his strand of brown hair. Rapunzel lays her hand on her husband's back with a smile.

"Yes, Eugene. I know how much you hate him chewing on your hair time to time, but don't worry. I'm sure this won't happened again." She reassures making Eugene grin back.

"Better be." He playfully replies making Rapunzel giggle and lightly smacks his back.

"Oh stop! He'll be good this time!" She assures as her husband tilts his head.

"Mmm we'll see." He said as the queen rolls her with a smile. She then glance at her best friend who is staring at the temple with grey eyes filled with dread while gripping her right wrist. Notice how uncomfortable she is, Rapunzel went up to her and pats her back gently.

"Don't worry Cass. We're here for you." She reassures making the ravenette nod with a small smile.

"I know that." She mutters.

"Aah if it isn't the queen herself."

Soon they all turn around to see their close monkey friend leaping on to a rock.

"Demanitus hi!" Rapuhzel chirps to see the wise and quirky monkey.

"Pleasure meeting you, your highness. Eugene, still as dashing as ever." He remarks.

"Oh great. The monkey is here everyone, but let's hope you won't chew on my hair like long time ago." Eugene reminds him with a frown making the monkey chortle.

"There's a time I will. I mean how can I control my habit if I constantly switch back and forth from a monkey to my original self?" Demantius inquires with a chill smile. With no words to bark back, Eugene zips his lips and points his finger.

"Good point." He replies as the monkey grins cheekily. Then he turns to Cassandra who stares at him awkwardly.

"So...you're Demanitus?" She ask while feeling awkward.

"I am and you must be one of the Queen's loyal comrades who betrayed her long times ago. But you reconciled with your friend when you both defeated the treacherous Zhan Tiri. For that, I would like to thank you and Rapunzel for fulfilling my legacy." He praises with a grin stunning Cassandra.

"You're not mad?..." She ask with a puzzled look.

"I knew you were going to betray your friends, but it was out of reason. However, you were able to see your errors during the battle Zhan Tiri when you showed remorse to the queen and work together to defeat Zhan Tiri. Of course I forgiven you." He reassures making her smile a bit.

"Thanks..." She mutters.

"Not to worry, dear. Now come you're highness, I will gladly show your the answers to your problems." Demanitus assures.

"Please don't tell me it's going to be the 'riddle' nonsense at the maze." Eugene dryly remarks.

"As I said before, riddles shall help you unravel the mystery in this maze and also..."

Soon Demanitus walks behind Eugene when he leaps on to his shoulders out of the blue.

"Faith!" He acclaims and gnaws his strand of hair afterwards. Annoyed, Eugene swipes his hand to the monkey.

"What did I say?" He ask looking irked. Demanitus chortles.

"Sorry, like I said. Habit." He apologizes grimacing both Eugene and Cassandra.

"Aaaghhh! Now you got me remember it again." He cringes grimacing at the memory of him gnawing on his hair.

"Yeaaaah I couldn't agree with you more." Cassandra gags with a disgusted look.

"Welp lead us the way, Demanitus." She insists as the wise monkey smiles.

"And the lead we shall." He replies as he leads the Rapunzel gang to the maze to unravel the clues and answers for the mystery.

Back at the coral sea, the group had finally entered the museum without getting caught where they are surrounded by artifacts and statues in the museum fascinating the group.

"Wow...it's like it came out of a movie. This is giving me "Ariel's home" vibes in this museum. I love it." Glory praises with eyes glimmering in awe intrigued by the museum's artifacts, statues, potteries, and so much more as it gives her a nostalgic feel from her childhood when she watches one of her favorite Disney shows, The Little Mermaid.

"Kya! This'll be great for my photography ideas!" Glory squeals with a giddy smile feeling like a five year old girl in a candy store.

"Psst. Glory, we don't have time to admire stuff." Grim reminds her.

"He's right, we're on a mission here." Deuce agrees making her snap out of her thoughts.

"Oh right, sorry!" Glory apologizes as she smacks both of her cheeks and puts her game face on.

"Alright I'm focus! Where's this photo that Azul was talking about?" Glory ask curiously.

"...This is the place Azul pointed out. Photo commemorating the visit by Imperial Musician: Horatio the 12th...Photo commemorating the visit by fourth princess...There's a bunch on display." Jack explains causing the ravenette to hum softly tilting her head a little.

"Hmmm...It's true that they probably wouldn't notice if one went missing." Glory points out while tilting her head.

"The photo commemorating Prince Rielle's visit 10 years ago is...Here. Isn't this it?" Deuce ask curiously as both Glory, Grim, and Jack peer behind Deuce as they stare at the photo.

"Prince Rielle, visiting with his friends from school..." Deuce read.

"It looks like it's from when they came during elementary school." Deuce informs.

"There's a bunch of tiny merfolk in it." Grim points out.

"Why did he order us to get something like this?" Jack ask curiously looking puzzled. Glory on the other hand, is staring at the photo as she looks back on what Azul ask her at the tour.

—————
What are your thoughts on people who are different?

Then it was the dream she had last night.

Why?...Why am I not accepted?....
—————

Remembering what Azul asked her on the first day and the dream, Glory squints her eyes at the photo.

Does this have to do with Azul's past?

Glory thought curiously while gazing at the photo intently until her thoughts are interrupted by Deuce.

"I don't know..." Deuce mutters as he forms a smile.

"Anyway, we should take this and get it back to Azul so we can remove the anemones! Let's get it." Deuce said as he gently lifts the photo off of the wall carefully not to trigger the alarm.

"It didn't trip the alarm. It's really just a plain old memorial photo. It threw off my groove a bit." Jack mutters.

"At least we got the photo on time." Glory reassures.

Suddenly...

"...Hm? What are you all doing there!?" One of the guards shout flinching the group.

"Sh#t!" Glory curses as the guards swam towards her and her friends.

"Ffgna! Crap, it's the guards." Grim shrieks.

"Can't be helped that everything doesn't go according to plan. We're gonna have you take a nap!" Jack snarls, but Glory is on her feet as she swifts in front of the wolf.

"Eeh? Wildca-!?"

"I got this!" Glory reassures as she pulls off her glove from her left hand revealing the sundrop flower tattoo. With the glove off, Glory extends her left hand to the guards as a yellow glow emits from her hand.

"Everyone cover your eyes." Glory warns them as they all nod and cover their eyes.

"Flower, gleam, and glow
Let your power shine!"

She chants as huge beam of light blast to the guards blinding them whimpering and agonizing from the strong force of light. Once she stuns them with her light, Glory quickly puts her glove back on and turns to the boys where they all uncover their eyes.

"Let's get out of here." Glory assures as they all nod and the group sprint out of the museum like a speeding bullet.
