Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNEtXiBaWV
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
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRIzdC0C3r
"...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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnZk8D66E
"Oh. Hey Tal."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKTYbCfpdr
"Hi hi!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahN9ZE4Twj
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct7xFJg42R
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGimSIunzvG
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WP1Oj3Fs
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2rVt3KQtW
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSboZMabjrS
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv15ftpCTmT
"...What?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ82AXaYqu
"There's...a burn on your leg."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmGgf8HT5M
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpRAzGeZuK
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WIPih5C7
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJc6pcXN8N
"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?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhLyS4VUS
"...I'm fine, I told you."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuTAkCeIDm
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsxXzCXtHU
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNlAldfeW
"So, there is something wrong?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4b7d0Kz8
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ067Im71bLJ
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdGRKXXzOD
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSEqiPkxzk
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoMlnj3D5P
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVMIwpwkk
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkTh4v8av
"...A what?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsoqovrNOQ
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUxbfaw3E
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMenpbjbMJ
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAjq5A9WPb
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpHvvhEh7Y
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcaYbP9Eh
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ZTdGqHKJ
"Oh..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV46ESnBN9O
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBZil6aAtv
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4JK6TGYhg
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBVxzYf8HN
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOemaOzvbs4
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQmzYgT0I
"Tal! What the hell?!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoYxY8TY6E
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUcSIiU4ll
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk113AHDps
"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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHgyFAdIlb
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdpaJgneR
"Uhm...Talia?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SdPuIPrFz
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuDOHLfDYi
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQlQOldIPs
"I know...just don't mind her.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8SNn8zHUB
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDUEBl4Yw
"Is that what we're calling it?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDk0yuJWy3
"For now.." He walks off.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RpHKeAlPj
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKtLFlVwam
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kr3fB7wq7
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwfjpSVkFd
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5tupZaH1R
"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!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0dvwogWtg
"Okay! Jeez.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoP8K7oh7L
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIUSoKzhn5
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21MVAJR1iZ
"See you tomorrow?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMphOuZte
"Maybe..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKKd75QOp2
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXouYtVM56
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3cnaJXZa
"I'm coming.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy0DP4fPlD
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuo5FvRshB
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76gIb3BlQK
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX35h9EF15
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBbeZyl0WL
"...What are we talking about?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aek2FlHoJ
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LtkOApbik
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzPxzpyyN
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscSy9MrCLV
"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."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomZ2jVyu3l
"Prodigies!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93hS23ycNU
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhaeM9cLa
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJYWERisK
"And?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDLOqlN8Ht
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmz1tIZMlI
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7b9U8xDcS
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uTd6oaQal
"Catherine!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQoldoOGIB
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqMK5Bekxt
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOum9A6vVI
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbRh6p82N
All eyes were on her.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGRksiZfX
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwBXX5Pc2I
"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."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUMtHzkTDW
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnM1EiLR6
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhSVEZ6ab0
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9f2lnlaY
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hJg6kD4lh
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE7oB42r3P
"Talia!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2POD38G0
"Catherine! H-Help!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUcu7FvUn
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJDNiOcpYi
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0VI24Yr1l
"Catherine, distract her..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJM4Fy6JYL
"Why do I have to?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8SwNJz7mo
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXyVAzAr2C
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrH0FG89os
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzHJNPEZjK
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQyHWXlLPz
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV64kP1JPh
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUSo3PJNyU
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANsKwXDqk
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfNEO4utHk
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxz8G0cUz6
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3oIzCNT7V
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGveoSkqb6y
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwx6dJeVbH
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MTJEG7mBE
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXhip2mTwi
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOROjH5Wx1z
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4JrMYXsMn
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgx9tjnnJ
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh4GN8YYez
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUY4PAtgN3
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14FPmzK5X
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEE87Ias3w
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcOLbmSUM
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?
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfj1xEuTpg
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4wTBkG33W
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6BgK8W5iV
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINi1ZazBAQ
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO9daN0jRu
"Verna! A little help here?!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEg9WTDw7x
Verna appears and clears her throat...
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5BdKNU7We
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8Jozd8XS
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYp6BsDhkW
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fpgdPHHP6
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtASzSAMByf
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKh4AY5SWb
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDKrtHgpof
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbMwoDBD0
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeSjhtMxMS
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekCSfh7Zz
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL4eUSo2ya
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTN615anzB
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oq6x9F8Y2
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwbfkfLZom
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7JpVHJlOC
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqEG4gg1h
"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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ki7EIOrqE
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxxfkoBDsk
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEVXn0C3T
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66a5y2FFS
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZtaznKBO7
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1OAJu4mW
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblj9zp8QIg
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9Nd7RYf3
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ijkWpTu1
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiL5BbfIBM
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3axv7S22NM
"Boop." She said playfully.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfSIxEXff
"What did you just..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe615G3m7n
His face scrunches up.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGBSmX4GZH
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbdA5zBcy0
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO23xSYMkG
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevbYwqzF0
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKaYuhDLvh
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENI0MaYvZQ
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLm8fSWUf
"Has thou tried struggling?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqNXjFKqti
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWAItAx8r
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH1vqmWL6I
"H-hm?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8bsYzcz8
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEtJRSXsBT
"A-Arsenio..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwsjzf1J8w
"Mhm?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQv5MoHAp
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApBVhTjlT0
"Aww..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPVXoSmA2O
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIbiab1B57
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ751kNS2vOt
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH9H17X8HI
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO4TPLHqSH
"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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLCn1RCIr5
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09rIcJGdH
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFH51Fgmky
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKb2Y7vDHz
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCZRYK52Wz
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFRlj2Pk8O
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LRXduSM73
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cqJW9vuBE
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fxqNW8B4q
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDVJ0VhPcG
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGOETyrqV9
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IcFmiei72
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcaMnVo4jV
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2jcyZChyZ
"Yeah yeah..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECu2UX1Mw4
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhblUDo05E0
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UqmgGCZj4
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaRnXQhL8N
"...If you so desire."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqiCXSLC6R
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8jf8qMD89
"...H-Hi..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLYaO7ixDx
"Catherine. Take her home."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTThVfJ8UI
"I've got it this time, I swear."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP3IbRW9Va
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBYeoCTHw6
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrko1HtHspM
"Uhhh.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU4GvlBFYK
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgMDmFXa7P
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNTfq6SCmj
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWNTdP2vtg
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa0ryj1hRk
"...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."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRifvPYeL
"Yeah? What is it?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXQulQ9sm
"...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?"
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1PEsiqrX
"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.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP0Op9ZJhp
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKRq6RCJrZ
"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."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO7QFiVWNe
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HB8Jpkm7K
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHio5oaaa8
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzKQs9nCMP
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmTMAvUzgQ
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtERqSsc9G
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfNn2hoMoY
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.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0OH2B8lsV
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh5fkn3gCh
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.

"E-Ezra, we're back.."
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyGnUU2D7Y
"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...
