The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAALhZJk7fkq
Without a sound, the shadow uses their Gift, in which chains, glowing in shades of blue to pink, wrapped around the four of them as quickly as possible. Then, with a yank, pulled them to the floor.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7nv3gWYDL6
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA09MrpyP9uo
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
146Please respect copyright.PENANARaTI7i6Jiq
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgin4UJUE13
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5KYoxqzW8
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3AeOGY4Fta
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWQlTDI0sGj
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGaVsJd0UXc
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qq15uvtcw
He steps in between the four Prodigies, allowing the ceiling chandelier glow upon him like an angel. He smiles wholesomely, before waving. "I'm Kenzo, and it's really nice to meet the four of you!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAgXxWLbkqD8
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUnFfqUCm1Y
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGTt6WmfBAJ
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAyf10GaaHR
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAk0OuSZnt9r
"I woke up earlier this morning." He takes another sip. "...And then went right back to sleep before I could get in a sip. What, did you want some?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcjgFHJtu7o
"W-What is it?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkLKLjbKsJG
"It's called bubble tea. It's a really popular drink where I'm from." he pushes the drink in front of her. "Do you want a sip or not?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJpdaa3tHqp
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZpY8Hxhy5O
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdQWV5xGRkI
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlaC83Ndicq
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHIne8fdqiO
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAk20meL4ilt
"Oh..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANALXGGoYnpTV
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAU2U9yiL0ah
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3LdLufYjKU
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1WbKxb6pIP
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7NgIIZSADZ
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwu2cECfDqc
"I did bring something, just in case..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAE7tito0XLP
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJHewOzef8g
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEctIjf8Vaz
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHVn7MJoVZt
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
146Please respect copyright.PENANANRvhBNRA4W
They continue with the game, using it as an ice breaker to get to know Kenzo. After that, the group became more accustomed to his high-spirited personality, and over the course of a few days, the five became close.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxGaoRrCjNG
***
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qwh3tMd0R
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJv2bTwXMpj
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJSYP8dFtJU
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAt9NFQ1BKyT
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwtUtWgTU4R
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAV1W0bgK9rD
"This time I'll have to split you into two groups. They figured out we woke up during the morning hours and they've escaped into the Human Realm."
146Please respect copyright.PENANADfwMJQcbKm
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
146Please respect copyright.PENANApSdy9c32sa
"But don't worry, they don't seem to be causing havoc yet. You still have time to stop them before they cause a problem."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAhUxRk9l7Za
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Mne1FACH
Verna takes Arsenio and Isabelle, while Nathaniel takes Kenzo and Catherine. Through two different time warps they ran, ending up in two different Time Periods.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYzrf3U9671
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdKZvPUJRrO
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKv6pCOQ5tD
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
146Please respect copyright.PENANADqc30uSQDU
"What is it-"
146Please respect copyright.PENANATYjpuJ838X
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZfLZUv8JV
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzS6KdV7t6a
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJJDNWxp2fM
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHDVtQczKYZ
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAcLS4C4vLrX
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdfoAKvsZv1
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjssY2zJFES
"Gotcha..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5Acn8c0Pqm
"Holy crap, that was easy."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAaWbyr0f0lH
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyggJRlsv08
A dark snarling fox was standing there, with long legs, sharp teeth and a pair of wings that span like a black cape. As Kenzo slammed the animal towards the ground, the wings began to flap.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWx96cwO8ed
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWTmrpgMIwU
But within a few seconds the legs of the fox grew long and wrapped around Kenzo's chains like a vine, draining from Gift itself.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsCjEyeGEI7
The creature's high pitched chuckle taunted him as it forcefully sucked the aura from Kenzo, watching him wince as he suffers through. It's bloodshot eyes were bulging out of its sockets and its body began to glow with aura.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdz9aANmcld
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOs85Qr4xm5
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXtH0rg9gLz
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA5CSR5lxoTe
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0rhVvf0a7G
"W-where am I?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0ii23SrWg9
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6tIdfsunyH
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1mP3rSN9vS
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6NcDF15Oo
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
146Please respect copyright.PENANARKKTq3vGfd
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwHIIuuxl4g
"Anything else we can do?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHwuuOwgZLw
"I do have this one part of my ability.. An impenetrable forcefield that gives energy and strength to whoever's inside. However, it takes a lot of Tempural Energy, so it's a final gambit, so to speak."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9nDGouZEEG
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAl99P77SsEW
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0fl49l6dnl
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7vHJ3jXA2y
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfUj6cy2UaG
Piravit uses the field of Tempural Energy where Kenzo laid, and the immediate drawback hit Catherine like a truck. She stumbled back a little to catch herself, but managed to keep standing upright.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAR66dDcQKqo
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYWQrrcaXUP
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFMhSE8sPOd
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAV1R1H0PDQc
"... Alright then.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9LhwjbceaX
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAPUAr8VR3ap
"I would stay clear if I were you..."
Nathaniel warns before a ball of crimson comes up as he coughs. "It can...and shall.. use others' abilities against them.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlH4ruvElPK
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuqLPcgq7qr
Those chains became whips as it controlled them to attack the Prodigies. The two of them barely had time to escape, taking hits from metal links and further hurting themselves when they hit the ground to evade.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAt1o4frspdU
They began to get up, but it was all for nothing, as the clattering of chains began to call once more. They brace for impact, when a surge of wind began flying around them like a whirlwind. Glass windows shatter from the pressure, being picked up by a tornado. Leaves begin to pluck off of the trees and become straight as an arrow. They start looking up. The Time Fox was using the chain links, spinning them like a top until an unstoppable wind tore through the air around them.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7r6Zeo2afy
The glass was starting to cut through their clothes and strike their faces, as Piravit's and Nathaniel's become slashed terribly with red marks. The Fox only kept laughing at their suffering, and decided to take it a bit further.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdcAjAGH7LV
With the wind's affect, Nathaniel begins to rise, as the cutting debris began closing on him. He tried to escape the gale of death, but it was no use. Within seconds, Nathaniel is enveloped in shards of glass. He has to endure as the fragile blades tear into his skin and create new scars on top of existing ones.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAq5mgRGJ0CE
"What the hell do we do?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkLM2h9RDBk
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
146Please respect copyright.PENANApB7iPPvsnu
Catherine swapped into her body, clenching her wounds as she looks at the situation. Then she dove into the whirlwind, reaching for Nathaniel's destroyed clothes, and tears him out.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAGhN1rFRAIQ
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfEeiz8gBn8
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvqaFdLxDvx
Miraculously, no vital points were cut, but the amount of wounds were becoming an issue. It seems that Nathaniel passed out from the pain and was laying lifeless in Catherine's arms.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWhAR49qR72
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0wH6cRPkaC
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
146Please respect copyright.PENANANmerDm41Sa
"Alright..." Piravit peeks from her side. "There's one last move we can try. It'll remove the barrier protecting the boys, but it's supposed to deal large amounts of damage. That way we can wake Kenzo at least and finish it off."
146Please respect copyright.PENANArN8tTcKMKd
"This better be worth it then.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANANHSzTNsSjT
Catherine feels a surge of energy form as she felt a lump in her throat. When she opens her mouth indistinctly, the energy flew out of her mouth as a beam.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAoBbsSrkCF
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3tRuVNaY8i
Abruptly, before she could see the impact and the effect, a wave of unexpected fatigue made Catherine stumble, spears of tiredness prodding at her body before she fell back.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2OcQCMQ1PB
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsGf7QApRIg
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAk4fdT19FWi
No response.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAByfJpAEQ0V
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7nyWv1eLQw
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMAh1sXCsNC
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAF18U9qDqUM
"Catherine e-either.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANArZqhXgDmYC
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtj5Pfs0Bj6
With a loud, hearty whistle from Verna, the Time Fox that Catherine and Nathaniel had used their energy to fight suddenly...
sprinted right in front of her and sat down.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1bBuZM4OqN
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2H3mCEXBUv
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEMf02XNPKP
Catherine immediately woke up.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1AVVudqodq
"You what?!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuvpIFwGBTl
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMUGV3qYVKx
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwoadG0H9Tq
She points towards Nathaniel.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEdYNRDkWpO
"Look at what happened to-"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAJxo7tM5DA
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWyl0e9Dub0
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAL7jiMdGQO8
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAP63dSWcqfF
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMm1UREtMbE
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvhgKdhAllc
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwu6GIwgSgP
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkEzOJDZRzt
Catherine sighs off her anger.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAnL2lbAouBK
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHCUqhaQUGG
"Yes, that's very true, however..." Verna finishes Catherine's thoughts. Catherine could already predict what she was going to say, looking at her feet.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAl4QwDL1S7C
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyVgfaTD0Kv
With a wave of her fingers, the time warp to the Sanctuary opened up, and the Prodigies tiredly trudged back into their beds, before blankly taking a well deserved nap.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMIU6t7NkDL
***
As their wounds began to heal, the Prodigies trained for the next few months, taking care of any Timebreaker while on their mental journey. As the weeks rolled by, their abilities began to grow and evolve into even stronger forms.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAhljgy2tp2P
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAeYroTnhBA
When Nathaniel, Kenzo, Arsenio and Isabelle met back up in the Sanctuary, a calming but piercing silence struck them as they looked at one another.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXAGbgA3YDJ
"Where is...?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAx2x438AD38
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1v7ZYdZYE2
"I-I'm worried..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAazDYHXmrE7
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwYKwlnRbgO
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxY5w93YTEk
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAw5OCQ9pFSi
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAhUlOc4UweR
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOVpafzWrOZ
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAXGvlpn8VL9
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1myUf0nReX
"I take it that training did it's work..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAIdKrtp1NWQ
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvNhE7xHOhy
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA8PDH8BwLbm
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
146Please respect copyright.PENANALMbtnHJLwl
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAukcFSvDF9Y
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAkbdA1g4vu6
Eventually, Catherine got tired of laying down and jumped out of bed. Outside, she could hear voices. When she pushed open the doors to the Time Realm, the others, sat in a circle, were having a picnic.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtRKrGwcdRB
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3cnBj1Iaz9
Catherine sits in between the circle.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAwHUtlDaFQd
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJIKoztDMQV
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEWwXemuoYf
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAbCPyHwduvJ
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtc9ZMgR6gP
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zb7wWQDxp
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAe3MU8ZTr1a
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9eTL9XkLgd
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
146Please respect copyright.PENANASK3Inir5Qz
The TV was on, papers lay in every corner, and Talia was asleep on the couch with her blanket, ripped straight out of her box, curled around her.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfgZEg3AuSx
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVcaTThtzNT
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1alaW41A07
Talia turns on the lamp on the table beside her, temporarily blinding herself.
She immediately gets up and scans Catherine's hands and face.
"You look terrible! What happened?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA89NFuet4tQ
"A lot...what happened here?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEOMorSqG6X
"Well ever since you left, I had to do all of your college work for you, so it's a lot stressful more for me..."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAODGpOWo8Ur
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAyPibw9BlwJ
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4mhbk7DPU3
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Ics9YmZg
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
146Please respect copyright.PENANABhgPWI1kz3
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUWLay4lal9
It was as worse as she thought. Another Timebreaker had entered from a time warp of it's own, tearing a hole from the sky.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWKXtqTUoSv
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOyG3sSew03
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA38WQslRh8I
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANArlhn7lMLe4
Catherine ran as fast as she could, despite her minor injuries pulling her back. The sky was turned a bright maroon, as a large hand began reaching for the ground from the sky.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAWFSnNdlVRP
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7qOX11jFsA
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtHF17nKBjT
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
146Please respect copyright.PENANAPfKF3pMaK3
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7yCK3HNtUC
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
146Please respect copyright.PENANALvtoTb3PJ5
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
146Please respect copyright.PENANADr32Kt0X6N
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.
146Please respect copyright.PENANACnB0o9vtoz
"... Alright. I trust you."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMfWukU8Eqh
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
146Please respect copyright.PENANANBKcme8q0F
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsRdci1tn7c
More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjIyenvpNpj
"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYW0MfYQrh0
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAriUmVYnUuv
However, someone else was in there with them.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA23NfXM8vfn
"Chrono?"
146Please respect copyright.PENANABpP1m6cDLQ
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
146Please respect copyright.PENANALHuy8zUJ8k
