Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrUVG4Hfki
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
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEooxHo6GNR
"...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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8E8I9DCl
"Oh. Hey Tal."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPQmcGRT0
"Hi hi!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksdl4ovXhv
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8fcnqS9l
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S2I4o7vTy
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvz1cAZoQA
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTbGB8rK3x
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf54edklFj
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CHWXcI6r3
"...What?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtO1ymhiw
"There's...a burn on your leg."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rhLwxnxzb
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceBLAs76Ud
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkJPAQnPE
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDf6wQsEUE
"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?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa3NgWkLQe
"...I'm fine, I told you."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9iMkibBaP
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI15bRjLQ0
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTYX9YS3P0
"So, there is something wrong?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE3qjLZZVs
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEs0gXEiKk
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7CMqFBsZ
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewgyD0Go9p
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfsOikawI
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS16kODQEBx
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa309bxWBx
"...A what?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOahzkRLG
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUePUPzKa56
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp2jNW1EwH
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMZjwFVTz
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9hqqsPQmA
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbPvkeBEU
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIckOUL7xD
"Oh..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarbjoMEBE
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80U06SVkQh
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH6gfNiuTx
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEQZr0gH6t
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8nHnIpNpf
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWbzMwB5C
"Tal! What the hell?!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBdIkkA2Lb
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS1w6fL9Ur
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2G74puLx
"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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDHiIFBreu
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGMgX1Ixt
"Uhm...Talia?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4iN2kx46
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBuYVD4K3J
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDiOTtDTmn
"I know...just don't mind her.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINMzAdenDO
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwbphFSPwX
"Is that what we're calling it?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YNT6fkUAo
"For now.." He walks off.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzs9SZ0VWo
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9WdUwDXfH
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fzoy5l5xt
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV05aHTITJ
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMs6VsqfUA
"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!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Ma4O6daw
"Okay! Jeez.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyKYx0lvY5
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgXtX0bb2
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33K1orVue
"See you tomorrow?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy18wiKxGH
"Maybe..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSEzjlGQuV
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu2AaTccuN
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPE26LJ7tx
"I'm coming.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb9NTCXazA
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp4bapiA7t
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsaapgFvXA
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6EzWhEQ20
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTu3MFu3SK
"...What are we talking about?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u83Nr8cid
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXhy8S82OS
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqq5TU9Ntn
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSWJysrMI
"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."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJ3WL1rKW
"Prodigies!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lnAQHJ23
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZSdCormHk
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15DKJGmnRZ
"And?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWPAf5JDCq
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVwbRBAArW
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQmP0xSIgW
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsVatDymZu
"Catherine!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXhSc85fVJ
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrX0e8oRkS
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwxqmM9rVx
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3crqoVG4r
All eyes were on her.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo5ouUGUSw
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQBpfsL2Ai
"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."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD27MhLgRdM
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHjWXQ6zC
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k9sMhOXwi
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U4jOE2eUq
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkucDLpiyQ
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1p7E42yDf
"Talia!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFFd0a9Zj
"Catherine! H-Help!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcClnWYaPl
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5LpLPGf2T
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ZwAUfXJi
"Catherine, distract her..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvC9T7IqZv
"Why do I have to?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnoVGvIb28
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1HToobz1E
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVAzSLZzs9
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST0ih1huUp
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWTAh542ko
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOb3grMzBN
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTRLgmNS6c
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI88ocyj6aS
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceZpnuSCQn
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTogWOtmAcG
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx419N3kQ1
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNcII4UHle
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8eODdumxp
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYD2rP7IAz
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML4YF8Ivbl
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNNqlXmQq0
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnBsrGllQR
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHwxayKs7S
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvltfA7wcK
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLwX9t49Hf
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMeok1KUFc
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UlQgZ7kf8
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzOkRuebTf
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?
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvjoojcw2
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlztUQjxXNn
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugxafEZuXW
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXzq5nvXUg
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxTBMvCLiN
"Verna! A little help here?!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEfLAPc2a8
Verna appears and clears her throat...
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIO8X4F4R4
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5LomNPV6v
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10bTyIskbU
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqcOu2XNuN
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuMERu8SAS
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYYlDIPCn
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QEuis7Jlt
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yWWQWsH45
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Il9vykvn
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4w9bad9sJ
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9P3OEmhu1
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ldez5hSmg
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYAPVKL5LL
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxr5bnTZs6
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2GNZ3eGrr
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Q6I9P7aB
"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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjtOiLTw6y
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICa5RsPfQg
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtl09N6ff
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwLBnU1eU
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwv5TtRTrV
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFziBGEdm
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDSxqrbDKr
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQdsvTuE1
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Vy5sBls9
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vLt160Fxs
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1lt25wkdH
"Boop." She said playfully.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhUun6QRZY
"What did you just..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSzg792Ms9
His face scrunches up.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlWCk54M8o
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0eSoW6cPa
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwYKdG1EuH
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMXWAUwV5w
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0ovPNSjF
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4pITjRKtI
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6t18S3QO
"Has thou tried struggling?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4h3puBhtr
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlgYTgVyQN
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtPIx3gaUk
"H-hm?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZFQ8zxmc
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt9f2MlXak
"A-Arsenio..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiDW6HK63u
"Mhm?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NS5Kc0HXo
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OkGv1fot
"Aww..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlbwzFBR22
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoaNY3jkuz
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcOGLuBtm5
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwGpfjiA7
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h3vmmtwdc
"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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDwfywV9LS
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fdn5HAEc8
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPKxwkCkCP
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbsWptNHC0
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAQwwFE9jS
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQID1XpRGu
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycmPcL59Ag
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s2RYNbk4G
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYR9B5XW83
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0VlGQNefD
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTB683gByO
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2xwqMuwX
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fXhC1lrxK
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGflc1jb6
"Yeah yeah..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5D7seoinw
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxp3lqmsc3
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnblLo8Toh
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpMkd0iXY
"...If you so desire."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN4XWcyrMt
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sKDK1nise
"...H-Hi..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT4yHl4omm
"Catherine. Take her home."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dr5fqUieA
"I've got it this time, I swear."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUBdIiB7eZ
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjObMD5XWid
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55mnmeAvmA
"Uhhh.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXvuT17GvP
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMN6PY1OAr
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyNqgnhuff
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvelfp214
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMRMIf0FSo

"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."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fSycziOdo
"Yeah? What is it?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0RSbGC5Ua
"...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?"
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm7naJx3Kv
"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..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmdSZOXrZS
"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.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5KIl2wei7
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF9Ux796zL
"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."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfY5dSk3i
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF34vGdJbx3
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfosCPWxKMi
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zbvOttQHv
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwnBUyI24
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikwpzkMBFN
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIBu3U96Jx
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.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUiuahW0X9
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2pYBJEkV8
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdvFFSPIs8
"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...
