Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUDyVMf5Yn
Sorry for the sudden teleport back home! Something came up and I didn't want you guys to get involved. Once you get a chance, it's imperative that you come back later. Be safe!
~Verna
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3WwUokOyQ
"...Okay.." she slips into her coat pocket. Suddenly, a knock on the door. Trudging with a slight limp through her still unfinished apartment, she opens the door. Talia, was on the other side, smiling at her.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV7frJSAUZ
"Oh. Hey Tal."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJW0G49lU
"Hi hi!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgxAjykMq3
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52mP7Idec
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMdstH7PLg
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM1PgrGUn5
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSWF3PnwKr
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJCZcs3jb
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYISIUFvW7
"...What?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMzl4GxXkz
"There's...a burn on your leg."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38AgYdxpHD
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYTNSdvNq
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qBQmq01av
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBK0kO9oKe
"It just...feels like you're hiding something from me..." Talia puts a gentle hand on Catherine's shoulder. "Is there something you need to get off of your chest?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvc9Lynf0w
"...I'm fine, I told you."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa33eiXmX2
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu1g7TGXsC
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHivQsavJYd
"So, there is something wrong?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgf0hGsMRQ
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE2y5t8M4A
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf2FG2HJ7d
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EMci24bua
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUySDQfzFf
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi4zubBhNG
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr4XPSyC66
"...A what?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY8d6VYt74
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTz0tI2da
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnFSO8rOg9
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUVZrT6ENX
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvlAOautnm
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfJfxFAg4
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDuqVoYLLH
"Oh..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yiFmToDiP
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXCnwHaTp
A strong breeze of wind dashes past them. A dazzling blue light begins to form. Talia, wide-eyed, watches as the time warp opens up for Catherine to jump into.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc68oqNU7S
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1RR3X2QLd
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC4DJuU0iD
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85d0yj8pUz
"Tal! What the hell?!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlSFhyxHkj
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC73HNahXNB
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO5bg4U7Fn
"Hello again...Catherine..." Nathaniel makes himself known, not far behind from where they were standing. "And might thou be?"
He looks towards Talia with less hostility.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56UGbHfKnX
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHyZQ2RA3F
"Uhm...Talia?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQ41gkRbI
Talia didn't respond. She was too focused on his face to. Catherine snaps her fingers in front of her face, trying to wake her up.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLgrCYyA9O
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLevmwV5L
"I know...just don't mind her.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6yOyvAgYd
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGX31M4e6r
"Is that what we're calling it?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvihUR0wqg9
"For now.." He walks off.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFTwd5SBx
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB6OwtKgO0
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRFx3r3dyK
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5nKLRlITa
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoEYmfK4so
"Tal!" Catherine places both of her hands on her face and forces her to look at her.
"I'm serious! Don't tell a damn soul!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8baObhbbb
"Okay! Jeez.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqGB6auXQF
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO342txMnix
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedW9LVWsIE
"See you tomorrow?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAnmyGG8M6
"Maybe..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXt3iH3zl1
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStoJQZWNQQ
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ3Fb62oCi
"I'm coming.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQVX4cn7k
The duo makes it to the sanctuary, where the other half of the Prodigies, Isabelle, Ezra and Arsenio, were chatting with each other. Their conversation was put on hold when Catherine and Nathaniel walked in.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpUL3qk0FZ
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1qjogai7
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjK5ribhOE
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FURiHbruP
"...What are we talking about?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKztOoCynvC
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIwfGbw3WK
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0impICnB7
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O73naadZc
"I'm pretty sure I took every single one out. It might be something on the inside that prevents someone from taking it off by disassembly."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb1oRKDJET
"Prodigies!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSvtuIgiTV
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9PMpcQ8Wl
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL99HgeqbLk
"And?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyahIKgaXJx
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVjcsSwp4
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJGxItG1hV
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUdBurvb1G
"Catherine!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvawUtdW5C5
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXUyg6Qkr9
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNfLPXnz5
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJmyVrGIde
All eyes were on her.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtdMyqqOXE
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOgsBCRsG
"Well then, hurry! I managed to pinpoint the dimension's location and I don't know when a Timebreaker will appear.." Verna turns to Ezra. "You have to stay here, for your safety."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQH7DqLucD
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloPFalwWF8
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvCDqJ4OLg
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrLfyd5eA6
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSefEfAsZrO
On the other side, another Timebreaker was already starting to terrorize Talia. Its arm, covered in vines and flowers, hand and tree-like fingers gripped onto Talia with relative ease.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWykfVzVswD
"Talia!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjolWcfpLS5
"Catherine! H-Help!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHn3rxcWMb
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5qLWWRf1h
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NDKRVOZP7
"Catherine, distract her..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33HemPe2GI
"Why do I have to?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb3J5may4A
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY0HUYbLYQ
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFeSeU38xT
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN8dt7oIC8
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhse3aI8t4
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRNBw8tr3x
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYVcwpCyKj
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uqUVAEz7R
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcWU3pPeed
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTAaGbtAdr
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHfQMD07xT
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS241oSD5P
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIO2AT8xkl
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpypFKdiuq
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1sokMZlS0
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4dwB6Ivxb
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPL7tEcbbC
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91dsiYVKZ1
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdwVarwjSQ
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWWr0lNYQa
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVnbfGBmeZ
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoruhkempz
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaJZax8Dsk
As for Arsenio...he ran straight for Isabelle. But as Nathaniel was trying to kill Catherine where she stood, he tried to... cuddle with her?
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5jGpEi7t
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGv3CWMyam
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yocvi4MXQ
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnzcphHN76
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4eubMGx4
"Verna! A little help here?!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP2pyWvGRA
Verna appears and clears her throat...
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fn6nEqgk2
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYknzDktBM1
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe2ekeDiMS
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghRyEIiSBt
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iKsH4wB7
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLctuJBsSC
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL04uCxwvd
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb0cXm2rlI
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuKODIAVit
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAdFbCEEUy
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwvIxfWEIG
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GhpHuTIWE
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0jNNSLtl
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSVAqBNjn
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDd8crUu9e
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vhHsDfTEy
"Hah! Dumbass!" While he's still running towards her, Catherine holds a leg out and trips him. He immediately falls face first into the ground.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FbdIKAqj0
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPBpwyUNmY
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaK6f8RGRu
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsFIqZDi8G
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdpCaMT5R4
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4eAS07g7N
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJCeDP9fCA
No matter how much she tried to negotiate, it didn't seem like he was switching back to normal. With an arm raised, he swiftly jabs down. Catherine just managed to move out of his attack.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWV72BQ7j
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd4hWuC0dp
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsGCmCfvkh
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPmISOd35t
"Boop." She said playfully.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmvVN3qq4i
"What did you just..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRod7qafF5E
His face scrunches up.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvftoOgaex
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWknCekSR
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tBOTH7ZjF
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLGJbf0p3h
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMT9DroWx
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKPsgaetaQ
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5BqukcdjZ
"Has thou tried struggling?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPysq5ROUtI
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMdZQoYA0u
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYmwzIDpiR
"H-hm?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxCfKUyqv7
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoffAznHTs
"A-Arsenio..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEJXucp4fv
"Mhm?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQdSi9bi35
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7qpnIzdgO
"Aww..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNPn97eble
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbN6NVCc6x
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSovJlEoWMw
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32K1xXeiGL
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqH5gV8s3P
"Alright, no one snuggles with Izzy and gets away with it!" Dawlly said angrily. With a strong tug of the thread, Isabelle's expression grew to anger. Large amounts of thread spilled from every inch of her body to wrap around Arsenio's arms.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9cu81HOM
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm2lFETKSc
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2wlqilaTK
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqmA0KmqIk
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdvFwH49iM
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWeQPqqGAt
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Quivdps61
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBda1Xgtg3g
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbrgm6breA
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRo3SatS8N
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pdNHmaJfr
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7G4LGaNQH
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQSJB30bTg
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4athty8An
"Yeah yeah..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm2YXJuAUR
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK3XPML69q
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlhL8krmJU
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKyscKE9Fv
"...If you so desire."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SStWhzZVf
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYaaBnwU84
"...H-Hi..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwhyybw0B
"Catherine. Take her home."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmsxlpPLq
"I've got it this time, I swear."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CFRSZr988
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksUZeZJatE
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRrZrTZ9hS
"Uhhh.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzRIYyX8SB
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuv89sfQCI
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxVMk07gvw
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVFANSrIMf
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3gUus5pT
"...Come back every once in a while, okay?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvaSqBSRGz
"Alright! Get out of here, before something else comes here!"

"Okay! Okay!" Talia pulls herself off and walks into the time warp. It then closes.

"Prodigies. Before you go." Venus' voice was very soft but stern. "There is something I must tell you."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovwinLEAsx
"Yeah? What is it?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAABzq9WOL
"...Something or someone is doing this to us. Turning us...into these monsters. I'm just breaking from the trance, but I only have a little time...Pierrot and the other Timebreakers. We were all Prodigious like you. Something overtook us. Be careful, because if you see it...it is too late for you.."

A time warp appears behind Venus, she drags herself through it, never to be seen again.

"...Nate, you know the most Prodigy stuff out of all of us. What was she talking about? What is that it?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEX1SGi0hn
"I am...not quite sure myself. What or whoever it is, however, they are pure evil.."

"Catherine. Nathaniel. A-Arsenio's back to normal...I-I think..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHNrZRklN
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UcW3N2JO
Muffled by the amount of thread covering his mouth, Arsenio responds. "I think I'm okay...just a little confused on how I got in this situation.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYOBVoYqct
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmVtJZDKSI
"Yeah, let's not. Whatever I did must've been really uncomfortable, so I'd like to apologize...as soon as I'm let go."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0VVH9zzX
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYz8C5nEzu
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQblFJm0FDh
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe7ki8kzzv
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjeCzO0vhk
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jTlNsbjL3
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xgwXa3jl5
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNYpVdVOt
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF87KufDZUj
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OfZZ5Ss0F
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmBjiapT9Y
"Welcome back. I made some food for us, I'm sure you four are hungry after the adventure you've had."

She places a lavish meal in front of them, which the Prodigies promptly ate. After chatting a bit and some quiet time, the Prodigies all fell asleep in their appropriate beds. Except for Catherine, of course.

Something was keeping her up. Not her writing notebook, but an itchy pain on her neck. Maybe she had an allergic reaction to the pollen after all...
