Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKgx7F8K26
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
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJkuoo2aWY
"...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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5teMti1c7
"Oh. Hey Tal."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJ0skqTPe
"Hi hi!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSffCieA0XO
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE2To95oGe
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS7H17DyOq
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTiq2aqXx4
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvkzMj8vF
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBEuvqs9LE
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oqgt6B7CY
"...What?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AetEk8cMS
"There's...a burn on your leg."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYnDq4e4U
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XpCdDgzq9
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJIJwCa6B3
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkxXWMJSLC
"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?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT5BcedC3j
"...I'm fine, I told you."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTvme4CXEJ
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jWgHKzZHv
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorKAH2nSFH
"So, there is something wrong?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZLbHCyJM5
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFSw7XuQGC
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeeU3PjqTG
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wvswAm27
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHm2bmM0QX
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g5RViSjtY
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0t17m4dU
"...A what?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChbSXnc2n
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5j34FN7sM
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2q50KFJLu
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMJ07aH7wM
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95av1mqd7o
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YbnHHUwd4
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZE0cVbf22
"Oh..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4mMlniLV9
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgKewPPfsm
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe04V4dRwH
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB1PE8C24m
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTmqypkRpF
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFa9vvhSL
"Tal! What the hell?!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3AFe5FR81
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOFCEyure6
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukoQDWO5KX
"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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Qe2vzEyF
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEOX7UWMCS
"Uhm...Talia?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE83BpFz3Il
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWk4DS35WL
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58bxd1ep9L
"I know...just don't mind her.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX4c7cIQHX
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUtMhvRMBi
"Is that what we're calling it?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ3gYGPDLn
"For now.." He walks off.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVprcfe0q
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUCm19Ewjp
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOJidsinR
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5EG35i4va
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJgspkrGA
"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!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhwmpPkc0
"Okay! Jeez.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Ye9ltgXq
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ6603czrk
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTasUjyN8Sr
"See you tomorrow?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37qHvQB2GD
"Maybe..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9xT6clxxR
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftGaJhEkiL
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH8we852S9
"I'm coming.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8u3ubVPmY
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4FwM3zOel
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B1zTGefFZ
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WpV9QCz5J
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuuIEkJQQ3
"...What are we talking about?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC6ykcIdp4
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42IhbtiQlF
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ2T5bSPSG
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd53R5cFrFK
"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."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn3fm2z00o
"Prodigies!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrBz2vfXgw
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqp0LVP1Lc
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttfjR1Gqub
"And?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkMXF64Hiu
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ytX2QaoN
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwHq7ajJxB
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2p5Wi3p7o
"Catherine!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHkZGeKvqf
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNORLpiCv4K
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJLmwXN7oR
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SjAl07Mky
All eyes were on her.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1GmKO3mhr
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9LUvf8wOA
"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."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzC3moRLPD
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKpOblKMgM
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBX0BlpCLC
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZRAZPUAsH
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOABoQHNvgv
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI0jNBdCsw
"Talia!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHgqFuOi4r
"Catherine! H-Help!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGExgaT7kO
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rvNT83w7d
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSWl73NjVC
"Catherine, distract her..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AX4ab2TTl
"Why do I have to?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wgchA3R3
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJMXe9qlr4
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbgyc9hbE
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTYMpH2oq
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlRk8az22m
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtKJjogT5
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbf9rmzOXZ
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjMAlwjkLw
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs3rENLA0S
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szsV1WBUo
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIdZfykJli
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEcwjCycJw
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkuasGvYlC
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhMmestIi
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4D4UPwkR
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ieNN5oumz
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhfRsW1cXe
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj5aLrbxze
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wr8Cs44Cb
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03eBAapuD7
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItt4dTsO5W
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9BGNFrHoY
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZ664X9JV
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?
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwelFVJec
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH22LTlRkG
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksw3WQheac
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFgbW4JzbR
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6TkYdhI4
"Verna! A little help here?!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dcqX55Xd
Verna appears and clears her throat...
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1B8jqYgn
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbeIGMwLWe
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTJ90exdEt
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Axcx7nI7
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ75jyQGWJ
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9cLqn6o5K
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWml0WCHrHA
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLZgtji05D
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlsuZFpzD
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZgLv4nVb
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLFczv4kJp
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aSIgBm1AT
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z5TxGjVBj
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rmAALT7Cx
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnVfvThDS4
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8yXH8PkPk
"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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNTvhOoB8u
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mdzA2MRro
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeiecn2YWA
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhkfnFm9ZM
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR2TIpIG6a
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iOouKvkXL
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l0PPNCxSQ
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WTwWA8PE
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRnUaeLaaY
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnidEpZ4Ft
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AviLJzkeE
"Boop." She said playfully.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53z2SeNYOk
"What did you just..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQktmOsgeP
His face scrunches up.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPYoeieLA3
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBmv8qiBAp
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6zPu84JaM
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYJWoFOAqW
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTVobdlSmg
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLBlVDY1OB
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pAUGIfya7
"Has thou tried struggling?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RAdBM8NN
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGbHr3LiFg
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeGawkO7PY
"H-hm?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiIGbn59uf
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPWiDBpX5
"A-Arsenio..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcd25nTHU
"Mhm?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2frmFcnjR
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNK1rlp1II
"Aww..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWe3Uv8olT
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQfsjDQDU
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6BhdbGgnZ
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CtymING1U
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjrtf00ugg
"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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB114ookxS
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcVz8xAUnB
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1pp4ZjRIF
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGoE4Ai92f
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUiJerhAHS
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLDk6dszKD
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVIm7fe56s
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtXt55DeQ2
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zQ87YBbp
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9T4Pivf8B
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnCxeB9w3
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJf3OmeVfs
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3oYPOXi55
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzEH6pv8B
"Yeah yeah..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz9fAgW9vv
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrwKcPLIO0
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWjUOVhnxO
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVMCmW0Sy
"...If you so desire."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1wTiuglu1
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgcmWZBFlO
"...H-Hi..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16kiZzORtv
"Catherine. Take her home."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbj6FEcSQf
"I've got it this time, I swear."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhvX7PQHW2
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wDmlvWZ7o
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7ksZnwR6
"Uhhh.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdWawwka0d
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONB6T1JJTp
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6n2RlrpA
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2P6VvSML
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYryFON5oBw
"...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."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOS7RlLVwY
"Yeah? What is it?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRJz20hMA2
"...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?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3BXMWSzWt
"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..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOxpfaioK
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9VN0I82FJ
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.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iDW6BJNTJ
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAtBfQrIgh
"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."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPIpmJhhVO
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb8Yi20XzT
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4YfCyqhm
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22vfG4CbKC
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWVySfarOO
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhqK3xJuR
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RZDdxNZP
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Tw2NgUCf
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZ7n6Q8ay
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORyGlGa30o
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVjPFsDlzE
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y7AHnQ631
"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...
