Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0O4L79iZQ
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
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgIPG25Cu9
"...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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgzhSOeIpA
"Oh. Hey Tal."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEifkaMdRb6
"Hi hi!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSSoM885Q2
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKA6Hu6xL3
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW7jxmVtGe
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8DsIeUuOr
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCsB7KCmUZ
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeTxXJJ6za
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCza75ghB
"...What?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAvCVUjM5Z
"There's...a burn on your leg."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUkRoT9Wuf
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fFDYDJeBa
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDEF7AyHdP
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtwR9juloM
"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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12noSFZ4S3
"...I'm fine, I told you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI0e1J4X7D
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7KegdRf6p
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OLKgw7j7O
"So, there is something wrong?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g19Wy4Nyz
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeDS97bO1u
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X7lBAxo6f
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29U9D28hL
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAdgQ6QK9Z
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9dTSBHFY0
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo31wQaOHm8
"...A what?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P7sAORilE
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORRjWUTiz
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdonsYIoXbw
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGWbDQVnFR
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJc3c1aVwj
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U4o3AH1l8
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGpcke5NS
"Oh..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnsrnJrpsR
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2yIxpJn4j
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucVtQPkgZ
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwti7D9P0Y
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwI2ojhWbk
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tneHs3drY
"Tal! What the hell?!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WEXnL14Dr
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUjwcjLk9Z
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaTg7nbs8y
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWWl2JVhLn
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSREJ7HB82K
"Uhm...Talia?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPnw5gRsCV
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Pk3NNvcm
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUTKMCwZv
"I know...just don't mind her.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn6uAPdX5y
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jM5nK5eRw
"Is that what we're calling it?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTS96jhvFz
"For now.." He walks off.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81z0ijqAww
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nN7fFPtqi
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r7DxNP1yt
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorhF9h59I6
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1d2IT9BeJ
"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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L3bq91fka
"Okay! Jeez.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WH7YLwqSb
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo2LdDlFee
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDq3utaXqW
"See you tomorrow?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgIKiaVVMU
"Maybe..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoYrUYB7wb
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwVLrZpw3X
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkNgQdQVtS
"I'm coming.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzqOl4uBS
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt0WK2vMUY
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhB6WZkFQz
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYvRpUD5IC
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkv8bGmt4S
"...What are we talking about?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfIBkDYmUh
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3cfOLCbh
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVsufvLaBx
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxePX8Mb6X
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7ZIrR4ZO
"Prodigies!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSCeeSc8KQ
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm1UnWRPoQ
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XGW4JlxXf
"And?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8IZ1UtAm
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWiM0A853
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bpnABr4Pj
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Uq7Qso3V
"Catherine!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tbdNX3hhs
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jtJ7JVsiQ
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eQA5dE4Gs
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5F92OjhFK
All eyes were on her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl2MLXTjEC
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0WOdOFF2y
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb3Wjtpnwr
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQqA8mwWpW
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ5ag78rCE
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47A8mdBJPU
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc3Op8JfJJ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqEIlSNTq
"Talia!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7hkbRETkv
"Catherine! H-Help!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6eh1fRZo2
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADKngw6E9o
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhP2lXFVE
"Catherine, distract her..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulBxAXPds
"Why do I have to?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMNmhUpWSd
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyRVIEWPzt
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6aaDELswC
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRmCBZirU3
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zApZEcmFX
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJ3d4A33f
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNvAlXEQpV
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBe0whwRUc
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5dytOPnv7
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN4hjCv7JS
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Oz8WH9Mc
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEryQGI4lAa
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgahc0JbT7
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRWVU2syH3
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y94prmtSk
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtYI6Cb5a
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHB7bw9Na
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAAIAttvHH
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA1zYpWKPG
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLso2P1yAWz
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWYBIls6IQ
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPVgM0qht
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhAxD7SFCg
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?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM4V4svleD
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQeDfh10ra
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLCLCTsz6l
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivVveeXyQC
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ991iJxDyYf
"Verna! A little help here?!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOBkMByNp
Verna appears and clears her throat...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQOSbHFda
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYphnbPEdv
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV1ZW8173c
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ1sVLLQPi
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKgUGFMCP
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptaWq32wzi
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3wmCPgrOs
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxIoBbj5fX
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw9cYK03Vq
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPpgwVEET4
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxewyxDZG2
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaBB2GAFuo
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUNpQcVN37
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tEyPKy2WG
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF54raskPTN
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj8WLXY76z
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjte6KYVwvk
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lTbNtDB5Y
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkRtl4u52G
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpnTp2EPLs
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdQdiAWwFm
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrQowETNO
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vqnWEdIn7
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV88zx2caS
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5csBX6ITf
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUclTD62FLU
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W9GhacrsI
"Boop." She said playfully.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjAE5tYrk4
"What did you just..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrG3KmmBoD
His face scrunches up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVxUAzbRhi
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7BfpoPgE8
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOuQAtyGuS
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DlZQ7soHQ
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCKnow8Crk
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUxrTIj5tL
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumgP1c81iD
"Has thou tried struggling?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYOqZcJtE
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZNRxNSjaZ
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazrO9uZ5Z9
"H-hm?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbakh9sLSP
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9H23C6g5U
"A-Arsenio..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLdxPAkHp
"Mhm?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVssn5ACPjT
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xEyOLycTz
"Aww..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl2IspjWqs
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZyd8YIgrS
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnVTwvi8vV
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0RnROeMz
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHGFLQeM4Z
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyyfEihf6o
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVaPoRrhdo
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0bTRIDsBu
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2YJYf1wBC
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXvuX531yT
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0sHCkBwc
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfmuVDAFMH
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXgBiBU7VO
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi2BLxJpl6
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbxTRHoaZu
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQbcDhqBG
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX04v2383l
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ccrEhWNt
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0A1ohjt8X
"Yeah yeah..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ5dqR0Rb8
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3oZwpT5Ew
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5syAQbkcnW
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJQlWciVgY
"...If you so desire."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQTiA3JKDq
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZZDnNJUPs
"...H-Hi..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8pPVbOVN
"Catherine. Take her home."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcpIdkIPT
"I've got it this time, I swear."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHZIDJjXmt
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJQNGFa6UY
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac0O5bGXiJ
"Uhhh.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ae0z4ohnE
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlJ7B9zbwv
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK8vobCwos
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze2cW0qUc8
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfCOGCIjqW
"...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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoxiBptZ8o
"Yeah? What is it?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMElOEE3lc
"...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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOcibDhko1
"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..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwYnqbetI7
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm71o4o0RsM
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.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNtPcedlIp
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwnHH6R0Wk
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEP38pTABE
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgJOm1Vli5
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9ZWuEXI8d
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFGLCSjQtF
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDgv7LBoQ
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NHvN47X1
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjfiSMKkuZ
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCDK8z2TGI
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBhCdZcwO
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5zywxv6J
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL9SW6TBXG
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kqy9Xq632
"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...
