Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa56r3ULcBs
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
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlLMOVMwym
"...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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTFSv2EZCN
"Oh. Hey Tal."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AtlMaOoib
"Hi hi!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJf30r9LzO
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfeW1W3Gcp
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCp4YsHRew
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLo5l9iVd
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGY2r1F5gp
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0079HMP4Ys
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHriUypbX22
"...What?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y7lKulGPa
"There's...a burn on your leg."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtOuP72N83
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXH32MileK
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3qvD72IJ
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSoiA7un2m
"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?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzoeguGOd
"...I'm fine, I told you."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPIATlInY
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kWZieWFKp
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHrqAvmoM
"So, there is something wrong?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKwsphJOi
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IgdXZQoST
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarGfSobQh6
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOfgVSzyEf
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIlbSEa0cP
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo4nVF9cYc
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKtUIe7c5
"...A what?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4HOZhNAMc
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPmu6zfAs
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ai2YdNyWy
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iJJVWFlx
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXzxEWcInl
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkamtYbCZQ
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZUuIULL8g
"Oh..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUlyjRWGw5
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG4ncmukkf
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3mFYi3q7w
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdED29QSZ1J
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwIVbVlmSj
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBAkxFIuR
"Tal! What the hell?!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnDFEf9itM
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mTxZEXBw
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7eGEydXHY
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC5qDSybeg
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdUEBBHHF0
"Uhm...Talia?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNzwvlYva4
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSzueIPGc2
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfGVWCmIgI
"I know...just don't mind her.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOLUIHgVHn
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFSfv5kWQJ
"Is that what we're calling it?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLzafyzTb
"For now.." He walks off.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2fZ4ErS6Y
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OABH1unDv
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaehTScq6ii
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpMqqkwWGf
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb6BG1ho0G
"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!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLL25UcPPX
"Okay! Jeez.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdWJVf1O9k
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuZcfHR35j
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpTcw7bmcj
"See you tomorrow?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62cZgtYBLJ
"Maybe..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTm2BjvFa0
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW00rr8lGK
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTUWE6e1oN
"I'm coming.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JOxZbgHy
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZmkjyPpb
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc5SwJP5QZ
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN7Y0XyZm5
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDBFqCcLp
"...What are we talking about?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHYBMK8KCe
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj23aSois6G
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjvlYA0NK
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHveiskw2Gg
"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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTkE4lm1Zq
"Prodigies!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ7Bf8V7n7
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2zvMGERv6
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHOzpmoEN1
"And?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKI8ShLzLh
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63iY4FkoGQ
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lHyxhyNYc
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwXlfbozI
"Catherine!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JjRn03zz
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPl2h550ee
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmi1OQsP2
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPywaidH2r
All eyes were on her.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrK84Yn3d5
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyRQzsZfL4
"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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2p6DknHH1
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqZ40T12d
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf7coJX2Yh
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J4aiaARSo
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJC4iorC8O
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMtblpB4S6
"Talia!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAhtZbxu0J
"Catherine! H-Help!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8y0pqWX6G
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs35MSktvqP
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6mmh1KA3a
"Catherine, distract her..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksPBaVaOa
"Why do I have to?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdZ6ol5na
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzekpwzfvhz
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzE0mrzbH1
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVeNEzfQBn
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxNcvZ2Dp
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1T1cYYfd8
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsyN3KtPwa
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOjtGLFhxp
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJHcOG7kH9
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSYIZEQYk4
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDxQNuX4w
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4KPIn8la0
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7roUOKI5b
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaHfUOvU6D
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJfuLOymM
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGcgrONhuO
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbomHLCu6d
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEQZzADT1x
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbyilqIai
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLbYcZbFli
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhbuhWzYMy
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQKNrI3vJK
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1pYNhwlwW
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?
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCyLAyEfXM
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEXGhWqYsB
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j77R6fLfW
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAXbH1cug8
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmRWiWtXQL
"Verna! A little help here?!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDttpmwL2fz
Verna appears and clears her throat...
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlpbyy5NsB
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57wbprsh4b
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr6MFyKJj8
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc58QBo3jN
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnDwKJP8GO
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshDvrSQ0YS
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8wKfbdFGB
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeDKJzhXhT
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2I6cWWbGT
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUjZt13I4e
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbctDfEtNQ
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rgGYlpk8
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxq3Xb1lVE
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg5HvQA3KY
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo12vTUmUFI
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOdJugNSp
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbrBAez2uE
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xvk2spqq5
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdDZiTGMIl
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK2N7nYhSy
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwaYzlKE1P
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVl0sEn9sR
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGLQQd3iK9
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL40CByXA7m
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdSgBPtrm8
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34kvUAIev9
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMAWTw5Cx
"Boop." She said playfully.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0aoDPyZ6t
"What did you just..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpYfaMTOkJ
His face scrunches up.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B8HPoScby
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP9mhBArrv
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMwHmCdMo
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP9gRsSWDu
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs4OGY36cf
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UwRbFc9PD
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyRJp4FUs
"Has thou tried struggling?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb26yW5AmVO
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII27XNqKRx
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODq8Ucn8sb
"H-hm?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtBI8G3VaE
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5G2bwUFeQ
"A-Arsenio..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6pDcz5yww
"Mhm?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdwcrpI04V
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7cXmY0jsj
"Aww..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg0rRrgzvP
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjmWBUk2Jf
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPSi0f1st
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbjg7Iye4N
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH8V9Noza8
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgNuB1vBed
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrJjU9ZsZv
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJaE685e6
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglAhuBkLWi
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdTmqdn9C
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWy45tDPK
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB2G3tZNGE
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGGHQKwnfx
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1eaGfqnBV
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskKN8uovJ7
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2xvo7vbHA
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdpAo7KHRs
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBzDHzsZze
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2br1qWyj
"Yeah yeah..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr07m5oyDF
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHypWwK93j
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsSvvnGZGB
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7clMRyYQgj
"...If you so desire."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD5ZMNR0nh
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2KntG6N5
"...H-Hi..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhzTWL8o70
"Catherine. Take her home."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS7Jeohsk8
"I've got it this time, I swear."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX6XoDN0nq
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDj4phhEfW
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdJihIsxT
"Uhhh.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJZiy3crUP
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTz2A1TrQ6
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNQzBJWjbm
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yGIny62N
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYLP8bvhk
"...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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZxG8Xqq8C
"Yeah? What is it?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeFOdNnKv8
"...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?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxREa5voeGs
"I am...not quite sure myself. What or whoever it is, however, they are pure evil.."

"Catherine. Nathaniel. A-Arsenio's back to normal...I-I think..."

"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"

Muffled by the amount of thread covering his mouth, Arsenio responds. "I think I'm okay...just a little confused on how I got in this situation.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QmgUaPvhe
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFleTlDrCxC
"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."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNWOQh3meF
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXLU5vFSMo
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm6PY6MVhX
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrB3ofLOQJ
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWfbNHISBj
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdMGNUo7X
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFStZCzqEL
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aKlLwcQKL
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvEvWfxXHI
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzLzMmi5A
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWfqI3L38
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQGPJDrml
"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...
