Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZaALMCpVk
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
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgIjaAJa7
"...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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPnZ6voWsV
"Oh. Hey Tal."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyhmWGV5mH
"Hi hi!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rj0yxuOwN
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkIJwTOmzJ
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrGPJAuyU
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRgjr3bMJ
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IXwzAzB89
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YQ3BvJ6R6
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7zEkMyJKL
"...What?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZgtT7sMo4
"There's...a burn on your leg."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncRdtgkATP
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqLQWtY6Hp
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UKBCDFJt
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthIUGnbKeN
"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?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAzWTgDznn
"...I'm fine, I told you."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcABy6KtEt
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVZ9042Xtd
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJTRz4Hda8
"So, there is something wrong?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRykIQHEAA
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFjOFuu8Jv
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lavFVC5QQ
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL1YBUSyHO
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86797kFIg
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAuzhTHQGN
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNSUGQgHiY
"...A what?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHclceRYyb
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyqkqV0UXD
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KrU7ePWS0
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigPwd7YKar
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5oYt0n6SP
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOJIYf9jt
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aXPPb9Dgl
"Oh..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqBYQjeU4r
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1DQmkRTJu
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTJ11YETPT
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4HZLgOvYD
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQH0UJeCi4
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcrgnOkiTL
"Tal! What the hell?!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9NTOW0Znm
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKvjZQ9g3C
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YkGMXBS2t
"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQtJY8IOey
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsPhC5CqSY
"Uhm...Talia?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8n2ox0yV1
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIHCOrGuw
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uYlDTQJME
"I know...just don't mind her.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXWQS0DVK
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86ZfYcEpV
"Is that what we're calling it?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYax1xfqVB
"For now.." He walks off.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPKMhjuoZR
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdoEM3HtWj
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OkU76THrS
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8iwTAf404
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdP5ufRdT
"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!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNOIXtz5mw
"Okay! Jeez.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDevxXBdg6
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qgG3mBSIf
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEfkHcaxzD
"See you tomorrow?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeudbryx4Lh
"Maybe..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC24u8339ve
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvajT0Ahwv
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tyx9BdneO
"I'm coming.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt80gYb1Qr
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpDSUPvQqv
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojJqYiemXh
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmbShiItbK
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToAPyCd8tz
"...What are we talking about?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrttgm5xqKt
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabP8qhbBZX
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhokSQM6ZvK
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0u0hBRwE
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCsPpdQzNK
"Prodigies!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F0fj5sB1G
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKOQ0VbhC4
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YO2rnMkD
"And?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KvTUFheZq
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nqlxkriuy
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDL6j8kOHP
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4IWydJDRK
"Catherine!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA7oBQ1ALY
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU14jchq6Q
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidqqdnW5k
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RqmniKwXO
All eyes were on her.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzZjMMbA9o
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN8uq6Nwsn
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2uWXb76W3
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYG4a0y0h
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9N1HEhWqu
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHHpaw5iq
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht0YAOTCEY
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqqQXFH8KM
"Talia!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE4MonqjdD
"Catherine! H-Help!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAUkoZpJUP
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmPemeYoJ
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QTUim9a5
"Catherine, distract her..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xFBR9lXrT
"Why do I have to?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJblvFE3LR
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWDRQ8aBpN
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjOddNFSLJ
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXfkZaynaj
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfgKkX4ORE
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo9oEPwUsL
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXaMVK7Tyw
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VCA4fY3i
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu3JJtMXDd
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIQ9dIVnf
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41PFeUfjiK
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWu6IdpbZ
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqnd2uKPzG
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21jy0Onr9k
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbqVdWirD7
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfC5uF08q5
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJlLxLyjSx
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCAc8ed1D
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ33QHHGG02
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79K7a3zrpP
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXNrfgNqMl
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUbI5eUUwx
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHXmNpebeM
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?
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVtKMwZnM
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lpo5uaa8S
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwAC6L81pA
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf9giWaR2X
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hueUSfaZ
"Verna! A little help here?!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJDyGi7ItA
Verna appears and clears her throat...
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetHioWXiY9
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxwWNO1D9h
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQe5Lk8vhk
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB8SL397ML
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGbr9fChUn
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FeMhG1Bea
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5TobmTPu2
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4ukq7GEh
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISYv1xNc1
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YjUMKLZC4
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrUOU5SmMj
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQZB5Indwt
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MJV59TPIw
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74hzoQ9NS1
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpGgcXp6P6
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUbvJoJ42
"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZpQBKxmQj
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiSpa1NT7B
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdA6hYT9I
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcTNdQHHg
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vKwyMZY1X
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tH0ZH2cLu
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNfcqFiEQq
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOmEsoFFoq
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3CKLsNmhC
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj5xICYOSV
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVuGFarxi8
"Boop." She said playfully.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfk8b4Ns6U
"What did you just..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qEh7YnWFk
His face scrunches up.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJGA5HtVlJ
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTXVfMlzEy
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQTMhGYC2
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27uHc0i4ul
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccK8KtikM
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHcY9a4JwE
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpQ7UgWsU8
"Has thou tried struggling?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx8Zb2NsOG
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkUB9gSvp
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CPBSmV7Vf
"H-hm?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokzMI5ZEzw
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GpPnMuOK0
"A-Arsenio..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKdJf1R1bV
"Mhm?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQA0kwyUZD
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPtLr45wav
"Aww..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSotYfwhjc
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDyMa0rLpI
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7g9aSDVYQ
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKRv6l2xVU
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8F278c0GV
"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNZma7Xys
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqc2d5XUKX
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahcctLHM6K
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkmJtBzWVa
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVkjTJ5X3Y
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuo4itAXk4
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJNlMbVaXd
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXCiM1XnQB
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iTUkgejA
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKmf21VP5C
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2A89tZiFZ
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG51xWdX1h1
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E69OGVewU
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OYiyCcTw3
"Yeah yeah..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tfiRFDzRc
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggbZAqK3UC
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwcSlI4AtK
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTPmc7iMHR
"...If you so desire."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPMgcTVK8
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq2SWMm1sA
"...H-Hi..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZdK3QBxTr
"Catherine. Take her home."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrwdDAd5k
"I've got it this time, I swear."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnCrFpUHeU
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUaaH7XjsG
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8wY5xh915
"Uhhh.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsCXXnrNPP
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWl3Kww47q
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIBSPyDzkt
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRy6PwutPt
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGiJKDknvG
"...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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1NK3Mbqfn
"Yeah? What is it?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yidcYHs6F
"...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?"
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv2j6MG1nn
"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.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Sx4pd3uA
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdYFRjfdps
"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."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VTOj5K94M
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnJheDXqyI
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2jMrmgxu
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxZsqydFq
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj7Phm3rlN
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNTBrTqzsT
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IEcIZ4Czn
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRF9wPAJZ
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYkVeQCnlt
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey7SnUnRjr
"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...
