Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyzF8ttyZ
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
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3isZqB2Ipg
"...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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fh17tHsP0
"Oh. Hey Tal."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNQg9iVKww
"Hi hi!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRQggEFP1h
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVZE5uZgZx
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZJNxIUzSz
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0FlaIPlTI
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPWO8nZcLu
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuaaTvenAo
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlOTMtsTnw
"...What?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Os8vGSoq
"There's...a burn on your leg."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOixt4Mo3x
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1bsW7Kqi
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1VLEjT9i
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJdmG5bnU
"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?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxNCCdWPHe
"...I'm fine, I told you."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtYArMPd0
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5vd2crE0o
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0AmXYdJf7
"So, there is something wrong?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tl0AHtMjt
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zgaDKXXrI
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUTq98eFK
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX61rsyYagH
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNu2A5W7Oa
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ONV4HQXk2
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9os2GOp7hG
"...A what?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDooxmTNB5
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qk7TBoCAy
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6mXEskkhC
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD5Vhn2nlZ
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILngZ7eiG6
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtADJNWEUdE
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd50Wo2pDE
"Oh..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKMO4jjgLB
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9TmBeDdck
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YCyrHn6BR
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCfmhX1kLJ
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZThcirCkn
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO1kYZp2oB
"Tal! What the hell?!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAPqnEupe9
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tTLwun1dc
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbT4ISb75c
"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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRFSbTxdO
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEUzIThS5B
"Uhm...Talia?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzzD44Ltg8
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uVm2ntjpE
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pgqAwzfO
"I know...just don't mind her.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HIZlms3pE
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlsnSAAWB
"Is that what we're calling it?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylcyLgFfg2
"For now.." He walks off.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM66RTwwR8
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2CiuN4fv
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwnsBWNeDI
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO1SckUUpd
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlKY0T6irS
"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!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXnXJ2eDNZ
"Okay! Jeez.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXmkfSjmks
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJTl2mRyLj
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0FcAF8ma
"See you tomorrow?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz9xoXqt7F
"Maybe..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhD9oS1jHK
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnXO3BlQ8d
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQrhBS0Rxp
"I'm coming.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ6Wu06xF0
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssekVjQk5D
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI7v7wGywP
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg8jpqcrwG
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX7qX5zIt6
"...What are we talking about?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA80N17U9uF
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTgCirp4w5
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu6ZA0opcE
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfAuMUw9Vp
"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."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fSYOshcWk
"Prodigies!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqUQ73xtw
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hrJ8jFTs
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSLIxqkJN
"And?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD70GcxlxVv
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ75e1hRn8S
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchhUh3lEAx
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYX2vov0O
"Catherine!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyB6Dj3kGE
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz1viDvxyu
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQfyxKbgK
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fz6FkPdHm
All eyes were on her.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ePAxhMo5
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiLJl6jFCf
"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."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPPsb3wU8
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR6HKgb2UM
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUH4hbpMTM
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChR6IhDer
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsrYjvsRQ
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdv80zluD
"Talia!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMwYMiJg8K
"Catherine! H-Help!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y0inGrmKG
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyluVtSeDr
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhwEvHJ5l
"Catherine, distract her..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PMg4Z1fyr
"Why do I have to?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrZYJA4R1r
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIjZwwhmwc
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUONQQl4XwK
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZubWR72rkx
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtLPNG7Y2
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvChakQswL
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6YSnRpIan
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpbubW9nyA
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPpIUOXwt
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglbHmT1kHC
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWaP3hBcu
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6VYK48V9y
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDexwDKSEI
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtITjFmP8
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LMOH9BM5
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1GjThulA8
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKLIi3SoHG
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZmIf05hyK
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZIn1XBoQM
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6e8XrB1lx
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo57VxIJmA
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXbCGjsGRX
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplCtPgx5FU
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?
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vAIYrQhq7
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMjoFtM9H
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGkzdIiwAp
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIswFnTNK6
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkmRKCRKuN
"Verna! A little help here?!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv4gvElj7A
Verna appears and clears her throat...
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY3EjUzc25
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vaTnfMZmz
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAsEwDzm4R
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6yShoZNPE
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Sr556fJ2
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ3RaWLER2
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPu9Y3nxAR
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5DjSTNbgB
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtkjr2lra7
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa4u5aGeIj
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru4nnz17sI
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeua5XA42K
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7HxikUzmM
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvOyImHrT8
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ35VJr3r6w
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnC2RYfDWu
"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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEUh8UHeq0
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSNNQXm02W
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw9wU1jCwa
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKhN3BE649
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlNqXuNM0R
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJENZBgkSVI
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4D6Sp0ri
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fMGno7nOd
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhl1AQQvZ
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdiJEwBzEg
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ys1FvcJg
"Boop." She said playfully.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnF1Blzkd
"What did you just..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDIH9EYLy9
His face scrunches up.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pb0rEeSfd
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKiGMdwegS
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYfWrh9zJE
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNAo83aKK
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXQuP3c0NA
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv49K9wfskx
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFj8uJwvGz
"Has thou tried struggling?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniXKf1x1jp
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg3YJGpDnr
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU9KoEuAfi
"H-hm?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtm4yXnT7F
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU67nej71p
"A-Arsenio..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba58A1Vkoe
"Mhm?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R1X4u4d69
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ga4UDXID4
"Aww..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2fUYR1bl4
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOWJ0vj3pQ
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHc7DWdzAw
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXcLGMB8y
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QR7XrPEIQ
"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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pb7GRYcD
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR1jvs8HTw
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk21pFVJ3I
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5PkrHnmpk
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudGPReRAu
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4UmI0W4I
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWnFMKyKXr
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4xkLKsKdd
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKEE1RSPxU
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWPqEsLsLl
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyIWW1CJyp
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iYblLeBYN
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3J8EoRZCR
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkNQMdnbZA
"Yeah yeah..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JhB4xO4ta
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1cX1WshSJ
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDzMf4UVOW
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWEzLqdvVN
"...If you so desire."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6u7mkoXL4
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8veKhhFFw
"...H-Hi..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkPCukpJX
"Catherine. Take her home."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3shSkRlmZC
"I've got it this time, I swear."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpneVvY8E6
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFvBCzlgWu
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrOeNofypE
"Uhhh.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQZrPsdEo
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYEOMKsyw4
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeu15Ma6bI
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciOFXDzkhG
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bYwwWFobO
"...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."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQHkXVoDc
"Yeah? What is it?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirEJFFlDy
"...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?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloSLwc4UW5
"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..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yt8WwhWAN
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oSN1EgiR
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.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuCkxup26o
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAqbPBzQoD
"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."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGkeyfhUSM
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjnyDNWsKu
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUWOVRpebi
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX0Mgg7Jm8
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLqhnCIkOQ
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuSX0HCCW9
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwIkSFyDxC
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenGgfMxRNk
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTp4z5xi1X
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5HqOFVO13
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6fhT9EUT
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlBeeOfa8
"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...
