Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGnNsIZeaJ
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
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSyT52mZFZ
"...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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQsOl2wOH
"Oh. Hey Tal."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHbyBSY63j
"Hi hi!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqScsCARgd
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKHGPMCcvD
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2HrGiPlL
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQONf9zmTM
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOe5NG5LBq
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1NAmGsI8B
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbipKskclgf
"...What?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6he6x0BRWH
"There's...a burn on your leg."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3FndPjJ3B
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVSNFX0Y9R
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMZd07i8uT
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznuqXrHuEx
"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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8QTyQjlEG
"...I'm fine, I told you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd69SZqYaNh
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSiHfRavSM
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PjpmyrR4l
"So, there is something wrong?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFiAHtyJdS
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV6HSSOjZt
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjA4YlBmbw
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOzFKoTo6
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo33QfMBmu
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72y9yVbBkn
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnXMN98e5n
"...A what?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Fb7fZgKb
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVLej9Y4br
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlxqKBjC7h
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzaWsFTzCu
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8jUC4jtid
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6gHRB3aoF
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcr9GRLRGc
"Oh..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsClzGYH08
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdcFOCTiKJ
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpIrnSHPWj
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBptGumBtBr
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjMLIVcZMQ
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXdrlzOmmy
"Tal! What the hell?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0TT12xK4h
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hu2oDsvhR
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgdyWI0dV
"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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cVpgUEUUn
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJBuyLeXL
"Uhm...Talia?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXgEdzbAYP
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQa7sKtC8
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgR17neshC
"I know...just don't mind her.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eF9zYroAu
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIGwncTf0i
"Is that what we're calling it?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gVa6NYXzk
"For now.." He walks off.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVLkDc10kg
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFMi6gQO04
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMVBKAXxHj
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p8vOc5sYY
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03JI7Z7V5o
"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!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0HT8CHwWV
"Okay! Jeez.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLL76RacKh
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePci4RrCZW
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIiUizSXG
"See you tomorrow?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDuAKWP14Z
"Maybe..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8cW4PSVFy
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttzOyFtXT
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuFrLS2IFz
"I'm coming.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5zTGn33xS
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X650EmCKV
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLVSWNWgC
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrll8o2whGd
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6vLOYXtJd
"...What are we talking about?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu7yAWug0O
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzUowudyyW
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1ogWoO8a
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTU6E01YNh
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50g1bG4RWV
"Prodigies!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkysVwKPOh
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDaJovAVIg
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrglZfhnlO
"And?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6whalkb50g
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhYCZvvbpw
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwnxweD4n6
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ohurEVcv
"Catherine!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK7UpW2slP
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphVuCyQcXM
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0lzJzAgTw
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvISd2ajCm
All eyes were on her.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy2jG0KxcG
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FzY98cs2
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTl6wbQCak
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvI96lsDVE
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9IFdZfoEs
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwc4mR7em6
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfrEKmMGmE
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGwx0iWUzY
"Talia!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrY6T55Vwp
"Catherine! H-Help!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkIhafjVk
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaADN0cUOrG
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysyo2ZSb1
"Catherine, distract her..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC6SqyLSMP
"Why do I have to?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9n20o8p5
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXXcXtPJM
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRqTvggnl6
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQav0L1umIf
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbnKiPta1S
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZX1dsM8eI
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXozZhXcr
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVahLI8EEjY
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAeDZ0YdVg
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefbEF0KE0Q
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PEIp0rcOW
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVwUMDieVU
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnanQhc0j
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy3IqewWAk
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP43tTQFy3Q
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Ph5v2zxB
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRRbT75mmK
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmfDcDlbPg
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVO7qWd7X3
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhThb5leny
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF5zWzwPTw
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fmj9SNxCv
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ9Tca6lHK
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?
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSHFWqXCf
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GA96gns3v
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOisqzOmAV
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDrXWmqwZo
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh02qI0DCy
"Verna! A little help here?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRlsHGwgH
Verna appears and clears her throat...
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI20TRYPPl
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWI9K67mRS
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJur0rqGz8V
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9yWjFlgT5
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYxtgBSoye
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xOoWnNGV
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxuBzI8Xqo
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkARZa0R1C
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoLevNL0Lj
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELhsN93wGc
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2vbiQKid
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOesn9eyEn
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRAR0qpW0
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM3umI8Lao
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT6NgFNVKr
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYajLtAa7q
"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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8ldyjtgo
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYX6CDsMD9
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4A83kXVPZ
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5SKEYf3HM
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZIC8QZ5K
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3LutrJWBY
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8qyIezcmE
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiRytpA7a1
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk95UwtN1yd
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIA0bn1leq
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlK3c9B32H
"Boop." She said playfully.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVX41e0zQe
"What did you just..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxhQ3BUdY4
His face scrunches up.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskDvbgmXYj
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGUAyNsA4V
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSw0FjjSbl
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xv6CdN21v
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivPLtVxRTL
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyOgl5hdFS
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLdxh8pPAb
"Has thou tried struggling?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5DVQom4v4
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVOy2AlqY
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnhwQdzOL
"H-hm?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HRKTwlDN1
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBAkW14xAL
"A-Arsenio..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQEyVjQMg
"Mhm?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjViPiwQrDV
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ZFvMpeHb
"Aww..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkzWOKba00
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOxvxz3754
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd5SsBGtMC
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXilCAfa94x
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36RRYaGd0
"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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPzv5pobs
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1W1EOtOgN
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT8fLeHkSO
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsvwyK30rU
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9et3HvuVc
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25hXyGXjQi
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdntxhQewLg
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqL0DgGkxp
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAM4VahufG
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqshhvB8pd
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePktPBK6Ov
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzq7RVMxU7
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSHIgPGv0Z
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl3TAQroOM
"Yeah yeah..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoGFjIzeCl
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJqON8tSXE
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYMo5w0cqK
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCPWNvQDf
"...If you so desire."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9B9M9Qsnx
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPCi79IAk
"...H-Hi..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1C3HGd4wL
"Catherine. Take her home."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT6t5REwXR
"I've got it this time, I swear."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIToVSRtzyk
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUiQiTmAXG
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAtupRYroO
"Uhhh.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkTvNWy4cc
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4UhkCEe3
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4N29zK45
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIpxOa89UJ
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOywWArj2
"...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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx3ulYLTkz
"Yeah? What is it?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuN5qnqKtF
"...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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtuCQWmUL
"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..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEZrmdnEUg
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBapXW1lne
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.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3RIs5L70
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsG4Qb2UeB
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PQjaS49An
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4os6W1hYZT
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLczq8pKic
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUECtKy4qYj
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ka3i0uBTg
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fGGHBREct
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGTu7pO21
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0keUjkfwQf
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTZfzpe36O
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgzvWKHAS
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8VdmA9ll
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLIBDKQzqU
"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...
