Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrE0YDjWnI
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
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC7bLtUWLw
"...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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnuQegDyCp
"Oh. Hey Tal."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxV2G6oagh
"Hi hi!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOMzBLTG4R
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhYJvMAGVq
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09vKIh1Lj6
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp8ikr03ht
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5043IY55zt
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsKKrI2fvw
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8HC2E6M47
"...What?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eLuCZfwgt
"There's...a burn on your leg."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oItGjGHi1
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvHD2sbyPE
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdMlf68ih
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABBYj9D7tL
"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?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2vCZTfI2
"...I'm fine, I told you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKKuFtFtTT
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZ9Otl6LY
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElbC10eX51
"So, there is something wrong?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sl8ski78O
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zABIr0T7n
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSq5L3WK7P
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnCISgNJSz
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8otRIbuee
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfn56uXfMX
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYbw4f4nqB
"...A what?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjecr3CW5I
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3CL3KsaQ
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd5gVgLjTE
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzKH2hA4kq
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNgB052HcX
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvfkEL0JwD
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvK8qmfXHq
"Oh..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQV5YV0xda
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5RcNZLKeH
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpeiiyumcB
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjorO4IXUS
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIckjNoweUQ
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL7cGw22Rp
"Tal! What the hell?!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFlFtQzAI5
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMLzvwZeAW
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0dAjVhWFD
"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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANFRpXBtoB
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEYRavDw4G
"Uhm...Talia?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MssTsWjUD
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMEp7ydKh9
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQQB8XYpVy
"I know...just don't mind her.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNzmSfoWI4
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgsgWRHsVR
"Is that what we're calling it?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQJ6cCIMb
"For now.." He walks off.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoAJPvSJwu
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavnFmrwfKQ
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQb6ukBr00
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ957yDpvOFs
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxMOkweAHp
"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!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa29M07kVH
"Okay! Jeez.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWE7M9HDXs
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXH7ZWqqSw
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQmU2Ls9g
"See you tomorrow?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfcEc2WnTy
"Maybe..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmdAlczwNF
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6RmHch6f
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uGz8zj0Yw
"I'm coming.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmb1Kg0BQ
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q7qlHkSTx
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOx3vuRHBS
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJYdM2s3co
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspmyAExPzw
"...What are we talking about?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdl29OZxeB
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPyTnUDJf
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcUeWJHir9
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKKzxrbvYG
"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."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwPfGmb4Ju
"Prodigies!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQPcxuTE7b
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYYcaYps0j
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8V6eQC5UX
"And?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbVevTvs7Q
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgkZbd9WB
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32q4NsZcTL
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwxfiNI9b
"Catherine!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN70V6APT0T
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkRD9HKP2c
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAKk0ql6v
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4fE9PYLi7
All eyes were on her.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61mcVG0mEC
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpo5NvFyX1
"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."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YAHgU5mt
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnhLR2LCi3
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mfbmG4iU
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl4da0uldU
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFNbxRPos
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldBUMuBGa
"Talia!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BCn8aeVGw
"Catherine! H-Help!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXuamsAbe5
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlKH5oGtab
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErBj58oroS
"Catherine, distract her..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzNJ7pN1Rg
"Why do I have to?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHl9GsHMnd
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0P0TAN8G
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrciys3aYKB
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHKXmeHSxM
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFiVuvo59
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegtuOGAtiG
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCxBGkb44
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoxY3jo3OL
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1t9Vc9uV2
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpNeabK9qg
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGOR9tK9V
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqTCpPAiH
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7kIQN0uC
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99x93zEDKa
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV99XJhKQk
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXgCElPKn
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQBt5KHhZm
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2atqpbnCV
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSTEVrkiVb
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3LbJOY0HS
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw5i4ZhYVD
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgULx365bJ
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjNiHrM91
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?
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6wMJiTSln
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouo71ga5yP
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCehapIliK
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWGHwEj0D
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGZCtgYGW
"Verna! A little help here?!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BH6LYFeC5
Verna appears and clears her throat...
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVVpQk0Igw
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DdRf8E2bD
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JyPuCBcM
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEs688kt0v
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ4092GRZP
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmx26NGPO
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eyz9pc5PP
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcsVZzKg81
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWrqKhEzU0
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVou6HrRs1
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvttqib3A
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSL4zN1Ni9
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstlibByYbZ
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2Xqp44ym
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDfFZJ3kU3
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEF2UDCVEq
"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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhqQH8FUfm
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTYJADpkih
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYZy2ZcpGn
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt0Fg8XjYI
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTwhPUfjrk
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKYP6fDaQw
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HNnJEwS3C
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIzXVZzGGb
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM31TpLH2YH
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8PcETWYjB
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN3PdvzH5H
"Boop." She said playfully.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy3HCIumL4
"What did you just..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup38Vchkwy
His face scrunches up.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuQfQhQ2Ib
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsi6hnIANX
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp1v4djS4J
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrlOzaKmiL
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJaw20O0rX
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAfRheGTqF
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMHe7CJUo
"Has thou tried struggling?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugzhHybqdl
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2icdpZsBcq
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3WT8tMgC
"H-hm?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k7CGQSj0K
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug71R4Amqm
"A-Arsenio..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZWm24M7jj
"Mhm?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcROH2Wvl6
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCN6SCEtgq
"Aww..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHt0D2m94k
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQiyIZH6wl
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcH1jLPn6
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LX46W7zxv
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzW7UFGH5d
"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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtt4V74zh
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEz7w8JNVY
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LNl4dLt6S
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABC2z6IqMc
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdF4GxWMl5
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSEslDQHEs
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYmuSKVnk6
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdwRrDOiQs
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ig5sY0x3Z
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdNxQXJPB
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tdt5jXHCO
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBGt5uRi7Z
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiObbv6HJCy
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPxLYahOED
"Yeah yeah..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4iE5C84c
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqB54vhGzi
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNkqfHGcsH
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWMlKpjJUM
"...If you so desire."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9oeEKI9TJ
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypO4ahlaB
"...H-Hi..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGMVO1igrs
"Catherine. Take her home."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy9J9ChB4s
"I've got it this time, I swear."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWHy4uQwaM
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzycZTKUGly
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QeN2kGXBY
"Uhhh.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX1mKWUnla
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpoJnZ1hQd
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivI4NgNB6Z
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNUu5ee4u
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCDoJZd2Oy
"...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."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UrD8OQVHV
"Yeah? What is it?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uAnNaFYM
"...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?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqOh2bkaR
"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..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQtbgi8PqC
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGG3MyjwxO
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.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCDW27Zq0T
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8tBKXpRKE
"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."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieQ4pUFiTm
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrv483IQd0
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLdiCcPj3
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UiaHpuHUD
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FVbFFbhYh
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWho1vEElX
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZamHDpTi
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSOpSgkE10
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPa2sPFV2F
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioL4A7a6cb
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYVxDgO82n
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYP6XjXAdF
"Welcome back. I made some food for us, I'm sure you four are hungry after the adventure you've had."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EwBJzPVyP
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...
