Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAQBQv7C7j
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
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1VKh5dTKs
"...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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVfmsPdz16
"Oh. Hey Tal."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJF2D9u36y
"Hi hi!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpgEzvMda8
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4Ws2r0C5
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u08mFQdXL
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8snza31FKU
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrwthaYqVV
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmY6pJO5RN
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0CTY0oNZY
"...What?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OEbGOMq6U
"There's...a burn on your leg."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WjXuDdqno
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJ9ZBt8PG
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5p7CdnbBP
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6huMYuFTj
"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?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad7y5m9FmL
"...I'm fine, I told you."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreos4io8x9
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88tFQR99B
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYYWETie2z
"So, there is something wrong?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xKjOFZTdv
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbRATzjbSW
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx9hSzXhwq
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHrQG5ofkW
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ689o0QS7C9
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ab4YzCAjO
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAqUUxYCks
"...A what?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ky7amsYEO
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSGGaVtG2o
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzO8hqh375
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhphePRHf5
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz82ocfan6
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg242zvjbw
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHbq2vT0t1
"Oh..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiepmFHzxR
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3dxUfcmr
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Af3gizw7
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQOaH8x7Y
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6qvZIcwl
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTziEuxTA
"Tal! What the hell?!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nomLcnYQY
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIzsz0J5jA
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhKCm9bAic
"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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZskuChPQQ
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaq0CZ0wbU
"Uhm...Talia?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2428aBA1n
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ZH1dHfwH
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CHbplkDCW
"I know...just don't mind her.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6wBaycUPb
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNHJfVzLsT
"Is that what we're calling it?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBxdusmX7r
"For now.." He walks off.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HMXv9gbB6
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxRDeyG5Yo
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12qRBanMV7
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXcxr3Z6iP
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypguFF12j1
"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!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jat3qzAF
"Okay! Jeez.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Sogw2eni
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeLQFCBdVF
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfVQyVeol
"See you tomorrow?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7x9cTbcMl
"Maybe..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1tfqUdU7K
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2oLJaFmrY
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgHrXEkDqW
"I'm coming.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIzImdlWyO
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXixMjMLXRz
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQeKzaHciO
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJtkegZRmb
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0TwJMtMF1
"...What are we talking about?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2k58TJppc
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVXPtniGQw
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBbBvzRQI
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP9szD2eAV
"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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG1ytMlbVS
"Prodigies!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rELXJhZpZ
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWs2SiHSg0
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeneaBokaJB
"And?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeDCBLGBvj
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TMTtd4ejI
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHiQQyLUDO
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051vfC1PLg
"Catherine!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYKgd3eARB
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGjL7WCNU
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpat88ON5
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGea1t77Nu2
All eyes were on her.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpfz4T0k0H
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGRGCWW5mr
"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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblbdRNmvE
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUNSMioMV5
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKANZHKSwTA
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndZVyd0yqU
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RhGIPfMLD
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILav9PPnLJ
"Talia!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMdBiaoYR8
"Catherine! H-Help!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAaLZRoEp0
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTDQQuc8M
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDLHoTl0E
"Catherine, distract her..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpfsho9MRN
"Why do I have to?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqf4vKEyOD
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2LxWmA8Ig
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwO2qaGL6e
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPUZHWO6Sy
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfxZkoJUz
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUllzVllNre
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvlUYwPi0z
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBND7WbcZMi
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNi61SuVfD
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOpqKegAIM
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrUZkeELLx
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9APx2KQa7
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByRGarIXgM
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEzIq6jqLJ
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQCMOqsua
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb09aH9uoSw
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZjPIfeX7
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeq4VD1gUK
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDMD4wQA1Q
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTWNRjutoK
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0aEJkk5eZ
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vHK8Wr9Xl
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi4XivylQF
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?
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCVSfjrOoT
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerDtBHj7ri
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgsDeQhy0
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7my8a2qx
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUsjDt25ru
"Verna! A little help here?!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapX5r1rGeN
Verna appears and clears her throat...
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr09xkmZI5l
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhU8Y6iHrH
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ32cT6n7g
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G1NPKRxVq
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UGsuJhcEE
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmgqFfABKX
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSgUasaGz
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CIP1Km5sX
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadB4GtiPAj
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0CNrIoPL
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngHzNGKb0A
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7327rseIjK
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7vUE8c2Rj
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8zCV6jRCj
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAe03P2gq
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJutAzVrT
"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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQMU2bmhn4
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTX3uaZ2Fr
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Zu8w1G9r
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUnydvOdtk
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzClJ4GtiF
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKHrexU2tY
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4TRbZHjch
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIDaSlyZap
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FhqwLtvk1
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDh3nxXGt3
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwrWUAssPt
"Boop." She said playfully.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl52RCOpDl
"What did you just..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav8Sd4EHDk
His face scrunches up.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8otXjVZTYX
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdb2ZO4thY
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMw4jePXHo
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMBHAdgdFG
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZIb63x5g
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ZO4gqf8Q
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JVfLg3Y9C
"Has thou tried struggling?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiRG9Cc4fO
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlonwvxpUb
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1eyybXkWV
"H-hm?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtITYlZ8vEe
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZpiMwwE86
"A-Arsenio..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyqmKaER6k
"Mhm?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt4B5hjjjW
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlXfgOTFGH
"Aww..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRdVqAuOt1
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkfROjlhQ5
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH6gLyk2hg
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9gmMmBGI
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPPqqDREDm
"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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNipm7Yru
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PHjIjNic
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvvWK4hAmN
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Tk1L7qSH
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPQZJoLNT
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRyYbTIHbk
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXiDJY3c7Z
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY2efX2N4O
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGw4il78j
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyIdyQ0MD4
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2dUeBTiJ
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmSQHhVWm
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKS891PMY
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6OrTc9YId
"Yeah yeah..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jcjLkXpST
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Z2nYmMdv
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbosRYASI6
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsOJDhmoSD
"...If you so desire."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jSj9FbKXA
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DjYkKWch
"...H-Hi..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLLciAO2x2
"Catherine. Take her home."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFslQBautE
"I've got it this time, I swear."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVMtEOMrg0
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPRNingxK
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7nEcSC7c
"Uhhh.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJHaK8ZO1y
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjCBtzfswi
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y3E5a8RQ2
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqiaonLXvb
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjP8Kg8JT1
"...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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt2vQOFuFp
"Yeah? What is it?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pa5MJgQQL
"...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?"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ExSz9l07
"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..."

"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.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4dYESfAV5
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mMWScIfcg
"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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXRNtgSah
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7b3YUPHRy
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5TepAgedo
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYsucnlswP
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkc38cSetw
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMnsca62H6
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvkZl26fcP
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFW98fD5F5
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBh5inB5mB
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQzzY9m08Q
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn043KEhZTY
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLLXluXUMN
"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...
