Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQco8KXkLLB
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
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM1SZVBVeC
"...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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WYnYLdAk
"Oh. Hey Tal."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20gHHtWeSG
"Hi hi!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF4tdv4cud
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlyuTtB47K
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jyoVVrhBg
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe2T3QflcK
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZJ1550ai0
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSi861bYLK
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYUEdd3szp
"...What?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZhQci3W56
"There's...a burn on your leg."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld760UgNMs
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucxtUBBaPa
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicyrZXK8r6
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5LK9BiuNd
"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?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Du0P2yzl
"...I'm fine, I told you."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIcUMJWRl0
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4AJ0lcXcb
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxk6uoaPMV
"So, there is something wrong?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHveR19fwGz
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQePMn9pnk
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzrxvMx1uK
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyU3TcqQoc
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7oE2aO2Cg
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCCfUMehJD
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn2NwWW4r5
"...A what?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOM7OgEmBZ
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6inZobEnJ7
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp3qaCutMv
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0uwAL2hUC
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiPouQJ6G9
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLvU8oJ9Aj
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIJYjzTqwD
"Oh..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwm7quJvZ7
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3rwzgoDOR
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZVhxuVHUg
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOueoNfeNl
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizMiic0YS3
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJnfqtRZ3
"Tal! What the hell?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSzIrACnZA
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87K2oZXyOB
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcb2Zau6b
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxofEjjAkT
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFNnlbcb4C
"Uhm...Talia?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChUe8qea8k
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1opDzkJnUf
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFPTryUS1i
"I know...just don't mind her.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhatEqyZn6R
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddRn9xIY4
"Is that what we're calling it?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijdnWB98YH
"For now.." He walks off.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPtO7KJDeJ
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FbcYCK5N4
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49rprGBJ0e
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAndZoTDZ
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM5SxHE6ZF
"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!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBu7qvWCEk
"Okay! Jeez.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMbIfaAVtT
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOTkOmQLvz
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBmSryJdw0
"See you tomorrow?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwognfA7CoY
"Maybe..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqIIXPGSq
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YYxOhokH
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeBXKpU6bT
"I'm coming.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqBhqzLa62
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u8ifPKU1s
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJUTOKImN
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf69hpHgkOM
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91yK9YCE4p
"...What are we talking about?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXNGOmPU7
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2FS8wKwkY
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlJnXtdQ2P
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkKaLWR27b
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Eeyc9P06
"Prodigies!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99CDtzU7PB
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIsCUNv5xo
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxGSJKtUs8
"And?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZneD2SI3Qn
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNX7OAePZp
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyrfLqP14Z
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5HjGO7cca
"Catherine!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKvVZP801Y
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oP5Njnt0D
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlnkAs6jcN
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YoE9U2YXx
All eyes were on her.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCyrHn0Lf
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCOD5m6nCo
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj684hPT12
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoeO8jQiom
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBtaPW6Uvx
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4qs4xzRny
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8qNF0wGIz
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXRysNk1yO
"Talia!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9UmOMMWkE
"Catherine! H-Help!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9FrhQ3As
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3GF4hlZp
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k0x1y6OOJ
"Catherine, distract her..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2o5zD5MQQ
"Why do I have to?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LZ3Ddcyi
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLhlgGZtF
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QOuqsxbJ7
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wT4buf05w
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAbI9k5oN
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ifb7I3b3X
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2AdtJACHU
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8UtlwPY8U
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lfirGP3BG
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32wfOEc42r
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2zFudU7X
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7JSxkiY5w
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0lhNxLPND
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB18gUjySe
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8J6YbrARN
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrXd4ZYuSw
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnog8jMWni
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkFmqxAFX
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12cNGM2xN
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHh7yMWUwM
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvJKCa6urE
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc7oPbLcwq
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyAY1e96L6
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?
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELovJJDqsY
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5jdyAPj1I
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMHeksYRQL
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KZZnly8k9
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNIQubMgim
"Verna! A little help here?!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoyjG9QFOu
Verna appears and clears her throat...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlG3d8bck6
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCZ4f7ZAv4
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUyxxzyev
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELyEvtFUYk
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgxkWlLzA
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxIpNADJGf
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Fq0kNrAs
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm36RQlLi1
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU0JSiJmmY
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZn2uJB0yE
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBYYohmZf
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsegTOCB4fy
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVBqIuVDfn
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteSOncLOoO
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviR9LsrUlw
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfhjCJXJLN
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6xZelNmnl
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyig3trlCmm
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEBgkcFo5c
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahQkv1EAq
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSCinVuPe
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMKBRJGhV
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUir82ZNeCL
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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjUvSTom4
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RCuFHvHfT
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIqqhEUIw7
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUptKovtl
"Boop." She said playfully.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvsFEk5IpB
"What did you just..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaGIGudpMz
His face scrunches up.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DipWRfqv
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z8Hck43Do
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVT7oIwGRv
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3gXuWQER2
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lh3QRc0M7
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHduCgbCt5
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUh6wn79gR
"Has thou tried struggling?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5iMQzSpT
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdS1OGETj6
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ14QLMPXE
"H-hm?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIWJfrvk1v
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uKWikWAYX
"A-Arsenio..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlEFxHKqYq
"Mhm?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6cX6FnDYQ
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSB8pVx39B
"Aww..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkparLiZVu
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUaQsYJ8ac
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLakYh6jQra
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdbfJJl4ga
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWpInp0bqG
"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.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc601sccds
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JvSGvthka
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsMd656YgW
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnd1aO5I4N
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaaDVlQWqr
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7U2TeXGHb
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1S5jvJ1fx
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiM0gen6Yg
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWJ8uYRC5T
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY5s9Vsa1h
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHJUdOMxr
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhO5aFVnzo
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrc67IuEtg
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbpOcP2DcV
"Yeah yeah..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj1NcRSX0R
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsQlfhSyvX
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASlEY573Cr
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOt2MWuzpC
"...If you so desire."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxSBSMvYSs
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyHMf2yLGR
"...H-Hi..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e4MrmdOgx
"Catherine. Take her home."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohs7P8O5O
"I've got it this time, I swear."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWtZ6p1JSI
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrELibH80e
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3TC37JWsS
"Uhhh.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5APiv5I6Ur
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4k1W1QjT
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11O41S6BAJ
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JzxjYH7xP
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ldoSdo4r
"...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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOuuO77m9V
"Yeah? What is it?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMkS2Ac1aL
"...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?"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNRamIYQr
"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..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgEGIF5kMw
"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.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjBSDmdFVK
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5B1FFbsAL
"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."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASlP9hC2dv
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvK5zgzAP0
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnqq5iPEfK
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KZxoME2Bj
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi7A2iFkd6
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjdY8dCJ6
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmh7y7brKK
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGq5RVILR
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt11uSta6l
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ddyZ6wLH
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnf9mM1aj6
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0gzngfpCr
"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...
