The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAc9FVeULvXG
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6vtA44c7xQ
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMuDbIZoSq0
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqOabk8vbur
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGj8i3DlVSb
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAg1xHY8vPQs
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHaI0Yot5f9
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAESmdE7pq8K
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
147Please respect copyright.PENANARsDEBz53qu
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIp7x0ojqn9
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!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANALTDaCvCcgQ
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pu3RPJUOL
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAC7pnTiqNVP
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAb7C6I0tL23
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
147Please respect copyright.PENANADWX4WU6Fdh
"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?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAuEQsPyt0Y6
"W-What is it?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ63YnS0k2
"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?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAK99fiPYkrq
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1ftT3co9xq
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA15ieaw8d2J
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1LSl5emE8j
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgDZMx3Xc0G
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYsArjnbZZs
"Oh..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ4yCoxmqg
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANATsJ3Z7Gw9K
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAzKXsb0phl0
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjs3xSfiJxm
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIv6DHvQ8qs
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQpishRXqZG
"I did bring something, just in case..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA8jDCKe95xy
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqpbGILPqz4
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfjB5uudsds
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAaqHSJbX9bD
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJcYVkZtjcU
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOMtr8AnYt7
***
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1R5rzU7QHX
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmgdm4652yG
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVBMkz2NUSF
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfChJ5tD3yw
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
147Please respect copyright.PENANALWpTgJ0iAZ
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANASHcsA8Kulx
"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."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQaXFfBbzZa
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAe6gYAB2XXK
"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."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7tmhQ6eqkK
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPslhJkdZQW
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7osT9aIiXe
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAN1pUViZOyn
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWaA9EhMZ6r
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAu70Zqy36cq
"What is it-"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQR0u3O3NTO
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAcDqk9CZUYG
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
147Please respect copyright.PENANACPOuC9oenn
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbNGQVeY1kY
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
147Please respect copyright.PENANASRdUcbEmv9
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAC23sYZvTj9
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQNVFB8ILJ7
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAx8YcdfbGUZ
"Gotcha..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA4EQc8Vp7j4
"Holy crap, that was easy."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAM7GrtbFBUb
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsVesSeXAtK
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdoxpp1lNkO
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbnZjfy8kl2
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3jLa95EUUn
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAo2NiwmHO9I
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeFwdOYJoq6
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIu2t6zdxjk
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAij4MQ3hDTC
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdGzQNDraA6
"W-where am I?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyWEyDm2R7O
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkxke38ZUVL
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2S0KB66DL
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANABVpui5OzwN
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvugQsGVR77
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0t3ySCGa2O
"Anything else we can do?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAk92y9VWVEn
"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."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgkj5K8itLg
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJruGoEgIqs
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA83faq3qRh5
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAO0LoXHkLHq
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOhqayukoFc
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmaxff7TjWU
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9v5z5g09Wi
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0xrVg0k1sJ
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAK7zPIOxQW4
"... Alright then.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZyhvH81YLl
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6qTAJvT0hO
"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.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHxAQekqlwX
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANMF1uI92Zm
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAagQXGNyRkA
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIhXlbYHpgf
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0EKk81yKq4
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA868ISH9Dyp
"What the hell do we do?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAFmraBw8NI6
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
147Please respect copyright.PENANABCKFDIwhYB
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJjwPQwt9sI
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMHwy1Kjsoi
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxBtU7BHg9y
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKLeAcRWBRF
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIokOdkgLab
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2i9XY0Spfe
"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."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ80pVXpaf
"This better be worth it then.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgM7kUOfKZR
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZN5KvpBaDK
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVGBCpplWeb
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA60DZANKQAo
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqrRn0UoL8L
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9grQ55bVpY
No response.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdn839dCMBZ
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1TqEJ3isJ6
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
147Please respect copyright.PENANArLqPRKhelc
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmGujNKEkHI
"Catherine e-either.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAnAjwGXvGMo
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANABATp32qrBN
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANApFask2YD3T
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOS8JDBIeaT
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6hVsuZfFEp
Catherine immediately woke up.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2cuwCYPa3o
"You what?!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANACbhi7cwOQ6
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAuUYFz6kzGX
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUOozeZ5Oko
She points towards Nathaniel.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAR5EGKsjMU8
"Look at what happened to-"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYcVEUjMJI1
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5NAcXFMASf
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANASN15sjtGRE
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAFGEfEPOYgz
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMly9IGnNO8
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQLl2FuCzcy
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2yzULKwsw9
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA64gAMbbhsU
Catherine sighs off her anger.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgdovgHBPaw
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAySxYnWiJlB
"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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoHi2QxTKMH
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5WZLd4YAsp
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUGcv9c88nH
***
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlTIeSe8V08
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtIRSruQzvs
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAnXKcmBn7EK
"Where is...?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANALHhFFo43bJ
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2eD0R1w9Xl
"I-I'm worried..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAk3lg9wGDGE
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAILVb6b8QBK
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA59wU3AnPli
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqqCLOnchrz
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkubCaBKTKF
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjxQJplVV25
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAo5RMGjnS8Z
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAzone43tXqi
"I take it that training did it's work..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAG6XnY7oJUP
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAA4T3hHcmoJ
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0jnrhCrqFY
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
147Please respect copyright.PENANANLXnVO91m3
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAd4tO8F8Kjq
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPi0oIYeSom
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANASEWxCMUh5I
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyd3peSZiRt
Catherine sits in between the circle.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOZeJX64lh5
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAwnCgBzaePz
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPg404MFKEI
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAji6UO6XT26
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0OJRmXJEKE
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYPdDmLjlzF
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1NsT0DabHg
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANASxSdcBBNzR
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQDOVxpkbBt
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZovJbHEqiR
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAa5bYGHygF8
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvNv2eh6FSk
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?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAj0HT4fC2Eo
"A lot...what happened here?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkcIvggBPum
"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..."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWToOweXixK
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUHODgLaVU9
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAcCzze2uRli
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAaMjuB0mXRs
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUKnWxjZK0t
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAO2V39HD0ju
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgL8Td8R0TF
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoElFCG43Mw
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5TghCAA4TU
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMi7JmkDvcT
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2J7zTKV0j0
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPLEQJX6ZsU
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7RQsYp9lxI
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvOZQ7mvO86
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfg8BUweY63
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAzMj3be1586
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ4F7BMIlx
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvfcA87rRbR
"... Alright. I trust you."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAntGzw5bsZw
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
147Please respect copyright.PENANABn0EVJ3zBv
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjOCNfhOCEj
More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAc5OhSsyOjH
"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
147Please respect copyright.PENANAf5DPMed4Cp
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAiKTHHv9R3v
However, someone else was in there with them.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAysI0Pb0zse
"Chrono?"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdgYEo8DcWr
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOVKIMmpcJ1
Chrono immediately saw the concerned and frightened look on Catherine's face.
