Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3fNV7bgVB
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
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg76KlA6uzl
"...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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEr5YYdlvc
"Oh. Hey Tal."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPe95TFofa
"Hi hi!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZYrrPkFQC
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTlnqCMgss
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndXsx2NW0G
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2m0JWy8Rv
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXklRrTYet
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLVXIUQ4I
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICUfWknKIm
"...What?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxaGbX96TS
"There's...a burn on your leg."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCU0VoJqDS
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQowtAC5kf
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7L7wRfXl
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIazru8zys
"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?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVCHiyxd7l
"...I'm fine, I told you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20NCBCNTkl
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHHWiT7xsO
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul697remPp
"So, there is something wrong?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaX36XBFJC
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3CXSMz9cB
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O4pttVYNr
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzvZ8Jl4ub
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjKmlehhLC
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lNYZDrLAs
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBCdNHM0Kx
"...A what?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrPfDVsZJR
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd0kmQaeLI
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8eIr0Shj
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemSLQ9wqQt
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoOW1dqHj5
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnRL0S3Wye
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkZQHYVCRv
"Oh..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUcgZWrXb5
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76o5ExJkmM
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvNyBydvuF
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFClhTyNMQx
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkljeo7c2bZ
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwdPnLtz6i
"Tal! What the hell?!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeO8NLLk3w
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74DSDoXVDM
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTORn3kJouE
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Vfv0aqwa
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1OMbNokI9
"Uhm...Talia?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvukgYmBArW
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv24pWGyhM
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA3umVMawa
"I know...just don't mind her.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp1WFlhUfq
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6dyDIKYN2
"Is that what we're calling it?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKYqu9hKpC
"For now.." He walks off.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnVQomKchi
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGj1NISsU1
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqnyVFhmuW
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfzLVUMOlz
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3bHXm4LUz
"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!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnuFhhBPZe
"Okay! Jeez.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ949rOEbwCi
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeK6n6Ipil
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5VgnSnuh1
"See you tomorrow?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydgpBdezpc
"Maybe..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddGBgB0S0B
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ5eZY1vQB
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbobWGaO5ly
"I'm coming.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNA6s5kmzQ
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cj9n6fGcN
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEdhCnNkzm
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdUREmYtH1
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpgtiDa9wq
"...What are we talking about?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdSozpn7I
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhFC30A8V
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2shQTlaJF
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoQL0rS88a
"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."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTqzB7VOy
"Prodigies!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwRCrtopU7
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYC17dxjY
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5CuEfPyo
"And?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbW1f03ny7
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1qWuLvtI
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURY5bzSQGh
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosmRADNLHj
"Catherine!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJD7dQHjEU
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPISdy0X2M
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kmTWqiB1Z
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwOxEkBp9
All eyes were on her.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTSFzROZ77
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LM0ByTcdj
"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."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklCnIs5Vzl
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8yQU2OYCz
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZFhZCrrb9
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81QvRSLgp
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2DqzGmkgZ
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASquBTcHun
"Talia!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFnbvJNVoz
"Catherine! H-Help!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznXmSYX0Wq
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7mVwIsvAe
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4swO5qUj
"Catherine, distract her..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt66JaVfhV8
"Why do I have to?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7RVFUnBG
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7HPjzoBT2
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftogQvDTuB
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJwC0sPBjh
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdsu9MTge
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8t7DqNfF8
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmyyi2Q8rD
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB1Gip2rnQ
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3EcCdh43
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc50BAT7pu
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTMTDp0MvK
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3MT4ScAvv
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptCeB9O0Fe
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzE85Oqb7
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYQzzg7Jo
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3NqhZMtN
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhiDunBabZ
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECFSrkXV05
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzuPka9FY
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qFvCaOOE4
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBuH4j81YK
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9g5G0rSuK
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOsDKZbjbS
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?
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLhb2yP7Le
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHHvfiiuug
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuAwGRPlkw
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3NlJ7ZlEL
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGFG5Nz6Ms
"Verna! A little help here?!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3kQMVjFm5
Verna appears and clears her throat...
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpNgmFqx2B
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIzBuSkEIB
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMwRBcEgm
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TzSXy08w0
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZ8YVeEaW
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCHjpUNfHd
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQsIzU6Zd
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsnpY0LIRc
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWFzdpNfuK
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl5ckYJhXZ
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4LaC6s25
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsIhpzKlrW
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLN8O6mWMb
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqISkst4y5o
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegACfJV1l0
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEMvKjHA0Z
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3a22t3Pwf
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo960E5YeD
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEiDl102lP
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvERmNCwv4
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbEoythZo7
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YUkERxCPG
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ve8BtKjTk
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgQEXVE3Om
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6eo56QO86
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM4PCjlkPd
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHuQnqxATy
"Boop." She said playfully.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAd2vgkXMn
"What did you just..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrcWzo0C3n
His face scrunches up.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVfIDUBDqj
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkbBxsR7DI
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRglUBQX9N
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5HIEjwxYm
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCMIZCGQ7G
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO5weaXfIJ
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNl6YFGjGh
"Has thou tried struggling?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW0qZEF27b
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDnNbn5jaw
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQj8nVE87Q
"H-hm?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvu37kqXYZ
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxaRBPwQ5h
"A-Arsenio..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2h2ebBIV
"Mhm?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b3uLlpj94
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wyBfi8dJ
"Aww..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFRxHDGSSv
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFxlx3cfq
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQJhbt7ws
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ016rdeQLzt
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4AVTQzGg
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BzKF8ljT
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOI7NpDRz
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pe8IXlC3j
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2zKOqyCf4
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAd2PeuGc8
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZDDUNbrht
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ70eULwBAj
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkA2WgkMMH
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkclpEmB19
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPero0biobR
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r74NOfa2f
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnQ8LgHnc
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgn4LYkHtJ
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCrDRUj46
"Yeah yeah..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrRBI43MsK
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJbWIVRyAo
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxATod2OO0U
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpoASW2dX
"...If you so desire."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidm3aqN5Sq
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9zh6IBCuY
"...H-Hi..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdokoeXPmc
"Catherine. Take her home."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoCiK3P5O5
"I've got it this time, I swear."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCRTuYpIou
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelzjyrznrc
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgJnKye3D
"Uhhh.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrPCWAal6s
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45CxTpsxZ
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J33lBrpB2
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUw2k3IWwM
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj52SSczNtm
"...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."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH4AlKcoVi
"Yeah? What is it?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BQf0Wlp9
"...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?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9JPripcVf
"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..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy1RONaV9o
"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.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlbK4DNPL
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sz09FcUxW
"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."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVHSEaNKZN
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAVewZwXg7
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8z4Pl8u3
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaGtv9l9vT
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHgwTpMku4
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQdQdEcw7
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxkAGrzNva
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzLrMBldN6
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH77z2Y9cWP
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yS7QlyI0i
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8JlHK97o
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn68kbMEFO6
"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...
