Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ6sU1DkV6
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
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnLy36DvC9
"...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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtX9jj4gfE
"Oh. Hey Tal."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0a6vTeNuX
"Hi hi!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRRQeDV2WZ
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6unNU332eH
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrcKs7kMsF
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIdTdr1ev
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZbQbSyQKQ
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKaYLMBLxl
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxobVwwbr4
"...What?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhurdIDClmK
"There's...a burn on your leg."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gz9tAdi4Q
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cIL3qhzCl
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSlYwlQ1U
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNMRnhy5mm
"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?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeplWAcDXaU
"...I'm fine, I told you."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTc3VmptK
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZdAg8MIAj
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbig8xTonVr
"So, there is something wrong?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSZt7TO97v
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOemmbbu87N
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNonperiF
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiSSU5Tj0r
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGB9TMpZC
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2m1ZKGA8X
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP1D1CAB4d
"...A what?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi7ggJsKSc
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5cy1NNR0
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhOGLLwKqZ
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4t4PEOgOW
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfLkFB978j
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLx99PVPyw
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4lVAxLOYW
"Oh..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EUaThQE5g
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2c646fp0q
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2ZVFbscf
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIZpCb5Z5S
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWd0vhcYSj
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANDvNZbBnY
"Tal! What the hell?!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2rqUiym2Y
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlHnm7Uy3g
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD40YAcfDje
"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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prG3vgaHi
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfZh4AqUwe
"Uhm...Talia?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXg3sZGxR
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7O0gchCAJ
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs7Fkw8ZIY
"I know...just don't mind her.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n6CsG3oOp
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdjhlvGalW
"Is that what we're calling it?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86wRVcRv0y
"For now.." He walks off.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPZaBUT81d
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zuaLez5q
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9qqKjBzM1
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUABJap7SgS
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEM5lqDhiW
"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!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF2SwTkkck
"Okay! Jeez.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QcHPaONQC
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrFKwmQ9L6
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicd6ztigeU
"See you tomorrow?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdALGKS74z0
"Maybe..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgImdZnilaX
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBOJhLEJxb
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uBiZE7GcM
"I'm coming.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpWzoBtqMt
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGUnnp3Wx
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbINlS8leda
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUuZuyvEKk
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrOTG80Lkr
"...What are we talking about?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuOgHIh2yf
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1w5TxWP9
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYJPGW1dDz
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnIBqT8wpr
"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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdmzLzBBnh
"Prodigies!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9w0qCN82V
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zR8eGoOiK
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0B84Zd8Ei
"And?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84HzTK6s0u
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBNG5MoYaY
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O4dze7yVu
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJTwJ1JUa
"Catherine!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw1r6s0Mrj
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFdBKvSvni
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi7fcronrq
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiOnPZNImi
All eyes were on her.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaJlMX10D
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbRhMTe8yx
"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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3L4MPiSIw
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8uowlL4GX
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP855queNbb
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYBPOpkPwK
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMj2Q9fklV
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ZzIGhTqI
"Talia!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYwBIcXtJd
"Catherine! H-Help!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKK10rhPr7
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmM0HyexVM
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblfHA8iFoG
"Catherine, distract her..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1WTOww2h9
"Why do I have to?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXVIaIk1M1
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwYVdItkvj
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCiN4qtSrn
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyUwh9m0fq
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWf8jtjCsy
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsT0sqMOKV
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GgwZqitrV
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeOMrASVgw
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XSAFlVOGX
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxo6piBcXm
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YqsJKfJF
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBIWrCq0r
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jjuTCAtM
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdpQkIMs6v
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMVz03U4b1
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7QZljgCgf
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnny7yApGK
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qQTyG718
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL9WcKppZU
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YHZgutaxJ
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhhDXDOWLw
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e7jl2x9fQ
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dAFbJvmCr
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?
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpPHNGRpS6
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6RKgFosVM
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvyIYej8g
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpoEhsO99b
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4sXwYmlx
"Verna! A little help here?!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT3tviWJ4v
Verna appears and clears her throat...
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6V2VFBVxE
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHo5xDPlsJ
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMxxCcilGw
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrE7v9NP3
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0eHHfGIA
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1tFWIGqd
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASYJ8z1Tml
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU21Ipr7C8
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60S7OCeVQ2
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SDanMRIMY
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwle5Z6vqp
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Wh6c4jXQ
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgPROGzlUA
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWZWcoi6I
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV1xbHgGbY
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIjo4WJrdt
"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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnebKk0Ta
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWfwNJiAkV
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cxxastwrY
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VlTRBfKr
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpebOCGgre
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9BHkTmmJr
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FJUiCR0F
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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG0XyUWgL2
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqPfvfykGy
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSDW9YMae
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpyTpvE5fs
"Boop." She said playfully.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALuUZtBIpZ
"What did you just..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMj4Vww90k
His face scrunches up.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer7jlWZgGc
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHwxQeyZCW
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBjgbEnrJ
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2B7oeYtJD
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh75ANsoL3
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsOnbpZCKc
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodHeUjxP8Y
"Has thou tried struggling?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK6TZTOWzg
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjCc2NLk79
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XWmnRMJE
"H-hm?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9WLQxwa13
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQWNySH4DY
"A-Arsenio..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0rqmPoVLf
"Mhm?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb3WtPVzqr
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdIL1D3gCB
"Aww..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWXSwMIAHz
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBgbjSogpn
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasTVX7BlrR
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42QfhBJHAk
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJiSRS8tPb
"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.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T0Ozc9dPg
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdMLXBoKAf
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9wdfY3znQ
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oIEdtTQxK
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPoxNj3z6Y
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWm47C4QIC
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPZtqEgFG
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtBdwxXh0
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs61Uo6NLuk
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeFfjqJxYs
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRpDnaP0Yp
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwVeoelgB
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4D56GHNLA
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB803iHTcN
"Yeah yeah..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoQlz31YLR
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU7jbU9AKf
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVazlkln1Q
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDHivwL63
"...If you so desire."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy06cF84jr
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DK2IUfTC
"...H-Hi..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulccqi4CzD
"Catherine. Take her home."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYItMUYqETk
"I've got it this time, I swear."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEpbeuMVZ
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMKNMC7I4
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3xCVpyn8
"Uhhh.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ydzri8sqr
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKE9Zrh14
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmj4FgnNYS
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaPtuuymT2
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXdOO93FFr
"...Come back every once in a while, okay?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jiSDcXfPl
"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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD7iGbD33c
"Yeah? What is it?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKTQl6rs9
"...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?"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUiZnK3Ymk
"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..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtBuCkB0u
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSa21A1DE9
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.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO370UMEtz0
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qBJWRhulK
"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."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvuBZBBNQ
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7uqsJsX8
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQnksN2ZH0
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sL0QiFPPk
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsLAqQ4BHS
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2SNoDMUWB
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3Q3eEFOo
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nNbFsSmn
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbKiTYylti
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaIaMe433U
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoVgw8U8dX
"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...
