Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOchVRzvV
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
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOHaMHlRZ8
"...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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJz800tYKw
"Oh. Hey Tal."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhF9wGWUK
"Hi hi!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXYUWIADZn
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafHvk4Jmrd
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa8pIfLDPq
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VOJL6L04k
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnH8NhoViM
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUN2Cz1pSu
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lYCXAt2F
"...What?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWkIzKom2M
"There's...a burn on your leg."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMEhrbFQa
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziQ5lBTp7L
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5D4s7wXB8
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq4mZBKqB3
"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?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiLW8ftIGm
"...I'm fine, I told you."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyin7oMDqR
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYRIZ80NZH
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB43ntUr6N
"So, there is something wrong?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlaAOfBwX1
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCTkZb4TLj
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvI7HLMAZ
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JzyQpfw4m
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jwz0T1GVo
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG1Id3i1TI
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLcsJFtL5w
"...A what?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSmeAJLAZy
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESfuyawUkR
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxGZxO8Nui
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTIDhhXVwX
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHq0SqlaS3
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHe6304XJT
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3jWoMyF7h
"Oh..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaAfs94GML
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywiWSbdZYa
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNKYtHBJMp
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1PVj0otxS
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZmKaqfgZ8
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ6hjvFs5r
"Tal! What the hell?!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6xuJKNce
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDplsBoK0hF
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5bmoyWEg
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1Le1FOsX
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVovxu4Nd
"Uhm...Talia?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pryo8PHDS
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryXCszEDoh
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnZHe9IeUT
"I know...just don't mind her.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJgc0fJ9UM
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZHewg2qP
"Is that what we're calling it?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvq3hVuNm
"For now.." He walks off.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkYAGkoNo7
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CvjmA8KC0
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN9TITQj1U
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubpgDRN8FC
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHO1grAB7u
"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!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiPhL1GNvH
"Okay! Jeez.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDPTsCfVm
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsZ9lPt85v
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JwzyQdSC6
"See you tomorrow?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXPDohIA9C
"Maybe..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6efOU5hi6E
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirEJPEQzSf
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2eBCpSR5j
"I'm coming.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPzKiu5JO9
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpWmttsrIW
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ1ll18nor
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcagxN9MEO
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyM3Pw325Y
"...What are we talking about?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHpqC1FHDT
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJ2SAVhYP
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HJrBHpL8O
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3vMhGGZeU
"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."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNQDSdFMoB
"Prodigies!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeribabtGY5
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E5hOhIgnH
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmZs3Ae6rG
"And?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wErKeCCDu
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcWm7bAIT
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJosoCMLtK
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZtuOdblZ
"Catherine!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNYISIFLJt
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpFXRnIunq
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYsk1rYVIe
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qgJNqM7Rr
All eyes were on her.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6zFDdh5rR
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GS6gYr9XV
"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."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6zjbiOWV8
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8EQcrdKU1
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwM4xDGc3f
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZc3LcNcH
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iAReuhzo
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T018lxUQv
"Talia!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uKsHuppr2
"Catherine! H-Help!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrejRqc3Zai
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzPViuNyMF
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi9Dk5FL60
"Catherine, distract her..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrq6F8yMLd
"Why do I have to?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSzYFfbDfb
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ofIYqVG2f
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfN47ZyAsF
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ134URe0hF7
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dm63rPVA3
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yCKbehZ6
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCftKbq8eU
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpeZVGSC7l
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdXbuvDIb2
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6loAbfNT7
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgG24WWvp6
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4xGhNmLqC
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQTMX8xTlo
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqoUCvDQZ
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxDkgqwcny
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7pk9uQoV
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tjtydTiix
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmAzzVTCui
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5u0tU83ZB
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KnaJj8s1X
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK8aN2Qv6m
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIZ2yoAa4k
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YRQyzCgU
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?
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP0LeG2LaG
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAyCbozEZ
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobkm86QsR6
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzQfmUz8tQ
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtRevl09Lt
"Verna! A little help here?!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEyppa7hgz
Verna appears and clears her throat...
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrZnHgvgBQ
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUMavt7o8y
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJYnZFBUdH
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxuAvWX4vX
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPb9dOK4A
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZd83n6Wgh
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3gEbAJBtc
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyaXJSVcJU
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5J8FjWUNY
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogGGfeP4A
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2AgdPykn6
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzpCZWcTd
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O7RqRfxuW
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T0WTodyGa
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1dzkCWJ75
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6XFfMVhmE
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLM5D1z1KP
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkfDSLMaJT
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOu6sWCHO
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7g5wyH8Ku
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MQIIcvgbp
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBJVeI5Ub
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVlcelD1Lw
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxjwblRmw
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYx5pdimjy
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs1U77RBzK
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQYz0OLj3E
"Boop." She said playfully.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6DiEbKc2l
"What did you just..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVoGXDs1zv
His face scrunches up.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtUoq4DfZT
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEhqNRVbS
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNwVjs0kTJ
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kDhnLOCz
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbev6igpeQq
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBx2rle35
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cP1uXyCjM
"Has thou tried struggling?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLzlGikNDg
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGcMNpDpGu
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8662YwfW8l
"H-hm?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMQAcirKj
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdxNqJCaC0
"A-Arsenio..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPn0MLsNHX
"Mhm?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf70JXcrHrJ
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYJ3weTDUl
"Aww..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrPRRiCHWJ
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfR7m6gH7s
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBI94uFiuG
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWAOHKDRgO
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF78jF9aDi
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uC6HPuyOc
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBu9N4LIVN
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB1mw4rgcz
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOUcudaDrB
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT2QX1O7ls
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuucoqJoIY
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMarR0F2Sq
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFLGnTFje
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K42ieXvpQ
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19e2DbUdr
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOAeeaeglZ
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wh68mCbtW
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhDvsyk2m
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKIIv0tiYM
"Yeah yeah..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaU3gUj3Bc
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfqqbVbgXF
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlPQAE50RR
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLcuxEPjCs
"...If you so desire."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh2fDQdGnJ
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzZNejB8F
"...H-Hi..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQdDMOmb6
"Catherine. Take her home."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zqaELaLzk
"I've got it this time, I swear."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKy0CwRKaD
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Gvrcbw7j
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDS6dBn7nU
"Uhhh.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOpvfCNZJX
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J0FBw6Svz
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAhZVmx4sd
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gmmytqrGa
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklygFUwUZN
"...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."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Srd9grr3
"Yeah? What is it?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7mf841Idv
"...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?"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbPqlzzYA
"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..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAACvgns5U
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tv6icM68D
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.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ybBPyj6s
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMiaPnLl9B
"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."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPlI7Qnvr
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkxlsTSopC
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tXCxTibPX
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0yVt9Lrr
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0sUuqZmlk
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp3mPOKytY
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4I3pMcrVP
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjwIHStn86
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvM3vAuX9F
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWSge3YzVV
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT9gZYeyXB
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHEpbYcqkU
"Welcome back. I made some food for us, I'm sure you four are hungry after the adventure you've had."
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHyjszFe3c
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...
