Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ41VkGp33
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
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ72WsL9JLZ
"...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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lQY5dvo6f
"Oh. Hey Tal."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1tcuJtdiF
"Hi hi!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQcLFlR4gm
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrlBEGTXZ6
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFwcHcI8mK
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUK7hrwQUk
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizOvGNZdej
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfd4ZqAl5K
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoVsxruzj
"...What?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Rb2PRN8X
"There's...a burn on your leg."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnqc4doD16
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnhkJ883V
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhE3YJgSh
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpEQT3YsSy
"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?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk9a8bBh7N
"...I'm fine, I told you."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhVcr7TuDv
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5TmlKh7rX
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OrBfIOdY
"So, there is something wrong?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmJ9nvt6I0
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwdzxKuIrd
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50tttqH4KS
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NuDhGWHjO
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmjdEnaQwh
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1GmIlCXvY
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3A5CbVXa1
"...A what?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IKOcuXX9s
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dT8E5pVhl
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN3UxZ5GwR
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT9bCXhVZV
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NyVGGRvvl
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU37SkvVUw
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3w7g6GFL
"Oh..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk1NS1l5Gj
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW74n20vrk
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFvoIG6fR
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt33FFiBCE
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM290tNnjU
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5kZcLmLga
"Tal! What the hell?!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmyNJ6fuDa
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GCgYeEdt9
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRENiGzdPz2
"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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClYm39huF
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC79aKM75D
"Uhm...Talia?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPtMSSwOc9
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagoKOYmopU
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDA7s7kC1
"I know...just don't mind her.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBeGN7ZnnL
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNc4oYtmal
"Is that what we're calling it?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zknY5xglm
"For now.." He walks off.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwVKENtCGu
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK2GgEtJh1
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVIXHx9bKp
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtjDzmw4kn
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvJjT6GXs
"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!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxkatatbRZ
"Okay! Jeez.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvb7nVE4O
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco4hFzX9mH
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3iI76YhVx
"See you tomorrow?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrsDD2J87
"Maybe..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uQ0kLPFl
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UP59kkXW
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nu4el8Laz
"I'm coming.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzE8bg3Kmg
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghHyGhDLDo
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tTAiqUcEu
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJvsHauFK
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zWNhz3Hw
"...What are we talking about?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wvhjEgYJ9
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMtTkisxR
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoXnVfKTj6
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCoaEG6v4y
"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."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH03yRhbgIl
"Prodigies!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac6YG0Q2fE
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan9iZZHhdt
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzy6ZKiVeA
"And?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwKXeDv2NF
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmRVrphx1l
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7B5XsjWUv
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXAgJWQjpZ
"Catherine!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR2dozOXfW
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9uYcecJxp
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe2L8Rfcvx
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WhA6Och8y
All eyes were on her.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUHxorIMWv
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ3I7dscpd
"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."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPVtuwB15J
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAz087rViq
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx67s3EweFE
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf5nRWaCZM
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Q3jwJENq
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYorDQAFRl
"Talia!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0jLKCXRoL
"Catherine! H-Help!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6YjmJZIXO
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWX1UPNRM5
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchM4D9gZ8
"Catherine, distract her..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvSV9Z0YQ
"Why do I have to?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGyjEHhM7j
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WXT2qiGQS
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbzhFPClV6
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWTIfD3OH
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8x6mzq8K
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0JTphdLA
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5SmXp9qDs
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqa3zPHKe3
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk3jqLbYnW
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak2iLfy1qr
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBiY4OVL0r
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ubWSDy2z
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefzenF5tjh
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZa7CMLM5q
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIfTWJlHYP
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3yiB5DLVX
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGTyMG39b1
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf0ADt77qu
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccZSpumXeE
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvGC9860UO
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGTbIa6uu6
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJelkvVz0si
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgHZIS0PQ
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?
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZgx4EMpLf
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfFOeT7Yi
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzkwStGRsy
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRClYLniNvT
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuUwPkuv2l
"Verna! A little help here?!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbALnZvFzR
Verna appears and clears her throat...
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5bAybBbGL
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5icWliMykP
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG2hnfIP1i
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQkBUcE0h
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BW8Pvte04
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIonAsnSVhp
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUukUsGdmHJ
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiabTgAWt5
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60f9Y06Ed
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIB7ySA3W2
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlSAI2TXi2
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXvqyuazB0
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcEe50zzea
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJRWpR8rl5
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8xLFVQ2Hp
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r6AP4ewQg
"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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0lPgr7xf4
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXizUOdYtv0
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONTgcRwGUA
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yl2BzjJhs
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8Y9THbRI
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrUJZTiqiG
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8T3DoEz19
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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj1HGhfnIi
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0wrDFGrMZ
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9m6hXsgEU
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJTl06ibR
"Boop." She said playfully.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2NO7QaWSi
"What did you just..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkTSi832qB
His face scrunches up.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZrtwLpwno
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp6iTTuRsD
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQB6G8dUh
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEIxbHCLLj
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi7fLys0R2
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTHiRlFKmA
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclPAjrN8f5
"Has thou tried struggling?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68OqursHd
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBCW0XxAeW
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWukhH6YSX
"H-hm?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyE3P5WjtX
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucFtS17xTK
"A-Arsenio..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXf6vStZoE
"Mhm?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZhgi8ObfN
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCHYiWQ6VZ
"Aww..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t8haiNlnZ
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu1cmYto6g
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVQQEKdRf2
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfijEfvYHj
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6oKtdIOM3
"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.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvrBw0BKZb
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VMUULsE3
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2UYKFwncR
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94sG9duVXp
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETqL0FHVB
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTGyh2OXY7
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAWEI6kUwZ
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHR0fSA4c4
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGcSpPGYH
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FdOV507IN
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz2Eag9eht
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50kOEWMJBD
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU79UIf5nb
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa39K5zxMcH
"Yeah yeah..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMoq3R6jg
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczGo11BzIh
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7wqe37H3e
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbXZwmedBa
"...If you so desire."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64cBi0NCcm
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca2l8z4NDr
"...H-Hi..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB51uQzPwnf
"Catherine. Take her home."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNzSuYTMr
"I've got it this time, I swear."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0kiKGDHpj
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ylMumGhv
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwbUUerz1
"Uhhh.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxlzkbrIhR
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fkm0iN18W
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSSB9McuyZ
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJfduQeIxK
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqarvAK9kW

"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."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoEMDnH0tM
"Yeah? What is it?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDkDUZ6cRJ
"...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?"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lPy2m1s6d
"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..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aVMg3PpWE
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQNnXPQkDa
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.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnc0c9DTET
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiJzgdOIVP
"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."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrchSy8Bukp
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6KUx9fRxf
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauO7XAKIxk
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sgYmVs2Yh
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl970LoKq58
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHSfxwJGwu
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoweOxkExL
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."

"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvk0RBceLo
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U8TV5dITd
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnGlS0C1fy
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKry9yjG7o0
"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...
