Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMnUuGjpU8
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
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbS6K41To
"...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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIzcFFEH1g
"Oh. Hey Tal."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0JLDlfZA
"Hi hi!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUECjm4LLxW
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC0Qb1O6gM
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PcjfP1Men
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw13FcLeOeV
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz43voGb8hn
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8kROVbwCS
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5HCGrwNBL
"...What?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsRt2Kafy
"There's...a burn on your leg."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQ8oiqH8K
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyw1GOMJkq
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAhb1IyDIN
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQQWTLEKHT
"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?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9P5swNuDx
"...I'm fine, I told you."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOqrAAvNt
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEzoACX9d
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqDToEblDu
"So, there is something wrong?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2XBgkjJkr
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHQlTqdMSb
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNR4ZXiCla
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1CMKOy4mn
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZlhn84NP
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt76RFx2UVK
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IiqdKHFbm
"...A what?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDjoGAkDe
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG3OH1lGxv
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgDrIn2pBA
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY4PR1h3aG
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7j20U5lQm
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fmbvleWoK
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwakwzfoYS3
"Oh..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEe0TabKqa
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhzarCD17B
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBCmgNP5Fd
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPCV3QpQXx
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Moyy82bvn
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Vr2PEe8q
"Tal! What the hell?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BarwZDs94
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQbSkKUJP
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZroxud1V
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFfZo5l8IF
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5QJbhLQXy
"Uhm...Talia?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAogZFiLR9I
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlonLowEuv
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725bM895zM
"I know...just don't mind her.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdiYDUxkE
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxcZwzPo0F
"Is that what we're calling it?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM1cLb6DvS
"For now.." He walks off.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahS5w3kubK
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdX8a2aUR1
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCRd94R7SR
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpn9NbBUwT
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1sivZEkvX
"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!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJsDdIn1s6
"Okay! Jeez.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DgiJw1ddF
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtbrIPe4zR
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRLW2mOc1E
"See you tomorrow?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInQT8Robu
"Maybe..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOKehHpDFb
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpNgZO5Ik
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzQK3Uwgn9
"I'm coming.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6pXHpb0uF
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkZFrgQWv7
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUY8jsMxU
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqQX2l7QDw
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchwVkvCaS
"...What are we talking about?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39cpc2lKSk
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFr3jULnmH
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4m22oLknY
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL7BnKGH7T
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH7HnLbOnO
"Prodigies!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iYzsUczHd
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMyJr0mOL
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yam0aSWFl
"And?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpbXgcR188
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v8Qnrmf2L
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCiX3K6bm2
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pL1OdO0kc
"Catherine!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmoT5I1Mgi
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6yHSSGpN2
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqKsxASuqw
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCF8P9gLwB
All eyes were on her.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVOS6qR6Qa
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15NPvlInQx
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa4nguPui9
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPc9Ohqkt5
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPk8Tp0Khk
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U8vItZAIH
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmUhvph7zg
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIiFb0E2Yl
"Talia!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOxsQVo1O7
"Catherine! H-Help!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW5IyZwse4
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sq69rISaw
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNujuw8J1bp
"Catherine, distract her..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rOO7SDxyr
"Why do I have to?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7spkkEwDG
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXWrBpRgEE
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHBkmJw7wL
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsewmPGI9W
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlf6JRKjSd
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9aw0oSYOv
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGkyEGRGv
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYDLrGqgyR
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutOwLmQWU9
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwiKbsAiZ5
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lBhej9YWV
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGfluDpeg8
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xq4gqSBvC
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjPy3o3V4g
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48SU6O7vL
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVk58qrhif
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMC4lzoauD
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO4ZwY2SJE
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FwapfEvLP
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmROKEX1so
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoBG98Qt1k
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNDVEGqlna
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4gLPl9Yi1
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?
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5qPo44Ui
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5HKwdBAeN
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanoL9v5jCf
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS7aaYY6qm
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2SVv6hEq2
"Verna! A little help here?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLV87x8rv8
Verna appears and clears her throat...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySN07RPise
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CRjWaBii6
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJjpAIIFbv
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf5eW2HQ7i
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicXG0o7Xa
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4emhxHddx
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hbcRCcHzJ
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qutQiDOjM
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzREXTlCH4z
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2mGHGNdOf
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO70tQBQxP
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGW1IziaQO
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlto8hy8k
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gXiV0x6M
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRd18wWqM
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzINdjewn5
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iIW4M2G4V
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrer5unAZq
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrqk9tcEil
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0uUfAND2U
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJifqClYwK
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoHA6UYAQ9
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wcsr1xX2K
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUEMyISb8
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtjAujJQMd
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpLOwJC0ZP
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnAdNuTOa
"Boop." She said playfully.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv71luIkEgj
"What did you just..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXLkNdhLt
His face scrunches up.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhhWQjUuK
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRG8q1gKoH
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0f6VEWiRt
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQlcZdLyH
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrzbsQpUED
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsXC5wqj7z
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmduUK9i3aW
"Has thou tried struggling?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv9Ylzy1Iv
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Ct0xDo84
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sxa5c1UVd
"H-hm?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoNT28qiRZ
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡits1hOtBmn
"A-Arsenio..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYqS94Uu3
"Mhm?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKqIyreZmU
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG2P3XTpY3
"Aww..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBCB1AZlC
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSjY9PFZuv
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOqvrzyvXu
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAGSDuzmaR
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWuan9Rcmd
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetpNHe9mia
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlLuECdd75
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsDJZzRbRo
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDRTRd8Esg
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKxryYeNja
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzyKJKHaSl
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OOhLLl9A7
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB7WaHnuGi
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu783DcFZD
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9It1lxxkKr
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnry1X3fMa
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaEX18rGP8
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2A4JSmZnO
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIqZlQ2IIt
"Yeah yeah..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpJLqT8VY2
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83R4Jdbcv2
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQmAZvLYMO
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3daAhT7U
"...If you so desire."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRFF1bvvEJ
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS1wKGtc1a
"...H-Hi..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOwipV4KDp
"Catherine. Take her home."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv38ZhyYnLX
"I've got it this time, I swear."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusKN4bGnBh
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvcrFdTL8
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJGTD4vpXE
"Uhhh.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUjtgibEr
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSnLw0yVK
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg4mQwK6kf
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9HG61a6u3
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRo0dz81g
"...Come back every once in a while, okay?"

"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmzNHWY7eB
"Yeah? What is it?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpet8I0AmM
"...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?"

"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..."

"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"

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.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvq3YyozNk
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKU5W0s4Cl
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2WGZLDDC
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCnz3kG6KS
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGOvcmHx8C
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByPOgjRnJF
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbBcYGnQkY
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRWDKEwrvY
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TCcTHmNl
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."

"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8gefM53Ct
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwhJbFjlU0
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcw1kmcd5
"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...
