Catherine jumps from her couch, back at home where she wanted to be. On her chest laid a note. She reads it.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlNtOjMsMH
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
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykZ6aHTMm1
"...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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou1BH019s4
"Oh. Hey Tal."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFmgqTd8Z
"Hi hi!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKgthq9qIO
"Do you wanna come in or...?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHCzHoes2z
"Uhm..." Talia takes a peek inside. "If you want me to, I guess?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo65CLhNfSd
Catherine opens the door more, allowing her to get in. They walk in the house with careful stepping and maneuveuring onto the lofty couch.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBGE8CiRlR
"Wow, it's like you were barely even here yesterday..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLGuGglgfW
"Heh..." she chuckled, as Talia was somewhat right. "I just didn't want to look bad in front of my best friend..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nty3AsJgE
Talia notices a small burn mark on Catherine's leg, from Pierrot's explosion-fest the day before.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdtvBRhOSg
"...What?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYJC4zc409
"There's...a burn on your leg."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCmyV79ipa
"Oh, that! I was being clumsy as hell and burned myself with the damn iron...yeah..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ariZtBqpM
"...Are you okay? You're not as talkative as you usually are.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuZuKQSwLh
"I'm fine, it's just a little burn. It'll clear up in a few days."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK78nUZCiq
"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?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8RhMpghxZ
"...I'm fine, I told you."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyL3vH2QVZ
"You're not fine, because the Catherine I know would've told me what's wrong by now.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gp2PM9m9j
"Why are you being so damn persistent on finding out?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBZKwc3Nm
"So, there is something wrong?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qUmF0yqj
"No!" Catherine's Gift finally snaps, and she dives into the floor like it was water.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIEZJbLAoE
"Catherine!?" Talia asks while looking around the couch.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYxs2EVrX1
Catherine peeks her head from inside the floor. "...I guess you're not budging without an explanation, huh?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjF6YLt5hr
"No..." Talia says sternly. "No, I'm not."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Ixn1PhGL
Catherine pulls herself out entirely, before sitting on the floor.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yqXwYIBE
"I'm...a Prodigy.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzLft2m5eH
"...A what?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3JwkVNdLu
"A time traveler! I'm a time traveler, damnit!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8emSu77izQ
"But...this doesn't make sense..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ML8z0M6y
"It didn't make sense to me either. But... yeah. I can phase through stuff and travel through time now."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8q5Lj1akn
"What's that gotta do with the burn on your leg though?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj7yzmJ9rA
"Yesterday, me and some others beat this pretty insane jester guy. Had explosives and almost killed us.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEzHOUJ1V4
Catherine pulls out the note. "I have to go back today, as a matter of fact.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwDXloh6A
"Oh..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKFCxDRqbO
"Now, you might wanna stand back..." Catherine pulls her watch out of her shirt and begins to do the ritual.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsDDMNj0QR
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZltr62OE3
"I'm gonna go now. Don't screw up anything while I'm gone."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpNfRqif0m
And just as Catherine hops, she feels Talia grab her hand, and they both fall through, back into the Time Realm.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0u81YrUG7
Catherine frantically looks for her friend.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uFoO46eFb
"Tal! What the hell?!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzteu7y9aE
"Sorry, sorry!" Talia apologized, getting up. "I was just so curious, you know?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmciMCgwu0
"You've gotta go back. I'm not letting you get killed because you decided to follow me!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nb0LUbEi
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSsoNr4EF
Catherine could hear Talia's heart pitter-patter out of her chest.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPSWcJ9Npf
"Uhm...Talia?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kd3aI8QKX
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN64OwLkgj
"... People from thy time are...strange.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n517Ks8aX
"I know...just don't mind her.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOjNqxqqcP
"...Well, shall we return to our sanctuary?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSebhv1S9O
"Is that what we're calling it?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEk7i3otRa
"For now.." He walks off.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGk60MIfRh
Catherine began to follow him, but Talia pulls her aside.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPWssWjY9Y
"My heart is about to beat out of my chest..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7S3lfXtpy
"I've noticed.." Catherine pulls her arm from Talia's. "I'm sending you back now... don't tell anyone about this..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyRI2grgOm
Talia peeks over her shoulder.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sbfckAiBt
"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!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4xnWo0Lpx
"Okay! Jeez.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVYSOWIcnx
"Good.." Catherine pulls out her watch and begins to open the time warp. "Now hurry."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKkgUxj9G
The warp opens, the dazzling blue gleam flickered on their faces.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiod1AF29p
"See you tomorrow?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j8akhRFnY
"Maybe..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxArZ4OKPKu
Talia walks through, disappearing from the Time Realm.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs05TAUKiM5
"Catherine.." Nathaniel's voice echoed. "Can thou go any slower?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT3VbVwSol
"I'm coming.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9KQgt6fQm
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKhEquvNKJ
"H-Hello Catherine...Nathaniel.." Isabelle said, sitting on her bed.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ijTvQjAU
"Yes, very nice to see you two again." Ezra added.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9WZqcQyAl
Arsenio was laid back, sipping a drink.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdB4pPRXc
"...What are we talking about?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8tLjSNCsL
"W-we were talking a-about A-Arsenio's handcuffs...and some ways to get them off.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9VbmaGNp
"Yep." he takes another sip. "I've tried unscrewing them, but they're still locked tight."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRj5RhldBP
Arsenio pulls out a handful of screws and pours them onto the bed.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCASYs03x
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOQW79YLZu
"Prodigies!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7yW268tFY
The door opens once again, and Verna's frantic face was on the other side.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhvcooCX0P
"Someone just went through a time warp!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcoB2QPkMP
"And?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBNtjvuQN
"I suspect it's a normal person!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0WMQ54YLc
"... Catherine.." Nathaniel states angrily at her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLXvfheGSh
"...Oh crap.." Catherine pulls out her phone and calls Talia.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsXXm4gr6
"Catherine!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPlTwkiEPt
"Tal! Are you alright?!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0kkXIqyAk
"I don't know! I'm in the middle of nowhere! Where the hell am I?!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLFQGCPEn
"Stay calm, we're on our way, just...hide and stay quiet."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFAqAcJgCh
All eyes were on her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQqcsZT01
"I...might've sent Talia to a dimension instead of home..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJEGCUmA3c
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBCClEv6ka
"Okay, just make it back with Isabelle.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4AMQJ5tqM
"I-I promise I'll be okay.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4kxqeQI2r
"Good." Ezra waves them away.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyd3mQAtV
The Prodigies jump from their relaxing positions and bolts into a time warp opened by Verna.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3eWiDxm1u
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0aRO9zaqY
"Talia!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4xMTPjyeM
"Catherine! H-Help!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw98HBNJIb
The Timebreaker finally showed itself to the Prodigies. Venus the Timeblossom, carried Talia to the middle of the dimension.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvn76zvwTb
"Poor girl..." The Timebreaker whispered. "She doesn't even understand what is happening."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPESYHZ9ie
"Catherine, distract her..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV26QvzBfL
"Why do I have to?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7lzuZC8F
"Thou have no ways of attacking, thou will only hurt thyself.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwxrrDAK4C
"...Fine." Catherine attempts to phase through the platform they were standing on, but she didn't seep through..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4x7slMedF
"Of course the moment I need to use this damn thing, I can't!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLz3lWQeEI
"You can't fall here.." Verna explained. "You'll have to find some other way to get her attention."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTksGMWtEhD
"Oi! Flower lady! Let my friend go!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGSb4qvTga
"But she's so delicate..." Venus begins to tug at her clothes. "And it seems your friends are keen on attacking me.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZgWksdIn
Vines unearthed themselves and begins to attack the other Prodigies.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsahvk2i3RB
"This new flower of mine. I shall keep it.."
Venus places Talia in her flower crown, stuffed in between other flowers and plants aplenty.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNBLtScr8K
"I would really love to stay, but I have a home and family to get back to!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY2I6ahIZ6
"Now... I'll need to do something about the weeds..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdbsmodnJE
She cups her hands and blows into them, allowing glowing dust to fly into the air...and into the Prodigies faces...
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aD3pWTJZA
Nathaniel, Isabelle and Arsenio were blown away from the air and pollen blasting into their faces..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6uVYuhiRR
Isabelle, who seemed to be fine from the impact, sneezed abruptly.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3STKw2lUS
"Bless you, Izzy.." Dawlly said, pulling itself from her pocket with a tissue.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PSQB4gV3p
"T-thank you..." taking the tissue and cleaning her nose.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHX83M7S9n
The other two hadn't gotten up yet, until the girls had their backs turned..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhEUAozM1A
"Catherine! Something's off about Nathaniel!" Talia said from afar. "He looks angry about something!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZOX2u6Wy3
"Eh?" she turns around after picking Isabelle up. "Nate? Is something the matter with you?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4Xs5Z7t2
"This is another part of my abilities...I have amplified their emotions with my spores.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPXlutUgmS
Nathaniel and Arsenio slowly stand up, clearly affected by the pollen that was thrown into their faces.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cTaX3xz5R
Nathaniel responded with anger, where he leaps at Catherine as she jumps back.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcbUGU1a7
"Nate! What the hell did I do?!" she screamed as she ran.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHWWhHcDbt
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?
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGlFduq0P
"D-Dawlly! Help!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSBYShobf
"I'm trying, but he won't budge!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJkI0zBFJ
"Why would I? She's so warm.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ip1QtEWhw
The two girls try their best to fight them off.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVs1Tnmte5
"Verna! A little help here?!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfVqF8Z9vH
Verna appears and clears her throat...
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj3aXXTPXw
"Tempus: Cessatio!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3mVLXbPuN
Time stops, but this time Catherine and Isabelle can move...
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1BnfkxQGv
Catherine breathes heavily. Isabelle slips through Arsenio's arms and runs towards them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4egudpELW
"Okay...we need to come up with a plan. Right now, before Nathaniel cuts me to pieces and Arsenio...cuddles Isabelle to death?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vBzUMsZo1
"W-what has h-happened to them? And why aren't w-we affected?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PCLNjaPxd
"Obviously.." Catherine states, "... it's because we're the same gender as her..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5H0wqabNN
"B-but...how do we stop them?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiopF8Hv9f
"We beat the hell out of them until they come to their senses, of course."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZr6xMJy5
"B-but..." "I-I don't want to hurt them...t-they're our allies..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllZJLA6YcD
"C-Can we hurry this conversation along? I can't hold onto time much longer.." Verna says, straining.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbP2Afe9zM
"Just hit him hard enough to where he's back to normal.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWhHwE9a6
Isabelle hesitates, then nods. "O-okay.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CrOWCTuhw
Verna releases time from it's frozen state, the boys rushed towards them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZsrSBywnv
"Hey Nate!" Catherine taunts. "Come on, you have to run a little faster than that!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwiXB3vsa
As if on cue, he seemed to runs three times faster. Just as she planned.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qZrjUuuE6
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5PGCbPLK
As Nathaniel's pulling himself up however, Catherine holds him down with one knee, and both arms behind him.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RM74GocMC
"Now, snap the hell out of it!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3i4WgGqUE
She slowly feels his body slip from under her. Suddenly, the tables had turned.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEOPjHL4bD
"...Alright alright, let's just talk about this, okay? First, I'm sorry for tripping you..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDWGDQekf
Nathaniel calls upon his Gift and prepares the fatal blow, the thin, sharp point just inches away from her face.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u9QYbxCgb
"O-okay! Alright! No need to get aggressive! Just...put away the sword-shield thing.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jj4Wa1nA7
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfqguBZ7eN
"Alright, that's it, I'm gonna use my foolproof escape plan!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6I5Q338ct
"There is only one way out of this, Catherine. Dea-"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBRTykmR5v
Nathaniel feels something press against his nose, catching him off guard. Catherine tried to catch him off guard by... poking his nose.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymEPfV1h2k
"Boop." She said playfully.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkeoNQ7bjj
"What did you just..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IJINDGpeu
His face scrunches up.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkRLHbFuNx
"...Nate. Don't you d-"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1HPRDk0Jy
Nathaniel finally lets out a sneeze, which thankfully, reverts him back to normal.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVYfAibLr
"Nathaniel! That's gross as hell!" Catherine's screams, wiping the germs from her face. "Also, get the hell off of me!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGZW4And9n
Nathaniel quickly gets up, dusts himself off, and pulls Catherine to her feet.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJu3Dug4Ht
"Hey Isabelle! You just have to make Arsenio sneeze!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBOb4ZjLV
"I-I would m-make him sneeze if I h-had the u-use of my arms!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4q8mxVsPf
"Has thou tried struggling?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRL0uEUuNd
"He j-just keeps hugging t-tighter!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdXMrTSSx
"...Shake your head, Isabelle."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitephUcRpv
"H-hm?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pjXba5QSE
"If he's behind you, you can tickle his nose with your hair...I think.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlfrsUnYm
"A-Arsenio..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLfQU2eQW
"Mhm?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa883KoZilo
Isabelle begins to shake her head in a vigorous manner.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw36dmuedj
"Aww..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPueOnYkL6r
"No! Y-You're supposed to sneeze!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxBG72jcUb
"But I don't want to sneeze on you..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsNZMxvTwO
Isabelle tries making Arsenio sneeze again with the same strategy, to no avail.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbOHipU93Z
"Dawlly! Y-You can do your ability!
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2g20I58s1
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB5oj8bdbP
"Get... the hell off of me...you pansy pillock!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgW7TlaWb
"Oooh...I like you better when you're ang-"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXriLjY0Suv
More threads wrapped themselves around his face.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wqW2dt6i3
"Shut up..." She pulls her pair of scissors out of her pocket.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhrBLNitDl
"We just needed him to release her, Dawlly. Please, return her to normal."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipVtsjSKsv
Suddenly, Isabelle drops to the floor.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWJExC3CjK
"Can't have you murdering him apparently, Izzy."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwca2bidX5I
Isabelle gets up, lightly clenching the space around her heart, and looking up at Arsenio somberly.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk4eDK0vFo
"I-I'm s-sorry Arsenio, but it had to be d-done..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB76XJw3Dx
"Just don't forget you have him tied up.."
Dawlly said, slipping back into her pocket.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxTmXel82I
"We're gonna go get Talia, and we'll come back." Catherine and Nathaniel push forward towards Venus.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFRMMA5ggB
"I'll k-keep Arsenio company u-until he s-sneezes..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL62Om81aHm
"Good. Catherine, thou shall come with me to catch Talia and send her back home as originally intended..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsloWLupps
"Yeah yeah..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1vYoCHbGl
Nathaniel walks towards Venus in an intimidating manner.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJt8HiWBCX
"Do you have a death wish, Prodigy?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZlvic7ia
"I'm hoping thou would release that innocent young lady from thy grasp."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EN0Fag1hw
"...If you so desire."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VjqO1IrlC
Softly, Venus pulls Talia from her flower crown and tosses her into Nathaniel's arms.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv1FOCT32E
"...H-Hi..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRnLhUIkF2
"Catherine. Take her home."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzOg5ba5BY
"I've got it this time, I swear."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhlmnnuktq
Slowly, Catherine does the time traveling ritual back home. Nathaniel puts Talia down.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BMdhj3IS
"Okay, before I go in, are you absolutely sure this is going home?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mlTrhEIpm
"Uhhh.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTSW91uHYO
Verna stares at the warp for a second.
"Yep, that goes back to 2022."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFRimejwRG
"Bye, for real this time." Catherine chuckled.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSesKFGZ0C
"Bye!" Talia hugs Catherine. "Don't die on me, okay? I don't know what I'd do without you..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgW1Lx6Ck0
"I can't really promise that, but I'll try, for you."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pbaoHm0tl
"...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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkKzckytBU
"Yeah? What is it?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHymr9FC0Nm
"...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?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuonUFnHv9
"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..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayozkXPhZ3
"He better be!" Dawlly adds. "I won't hesitate to make her cut him open!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoERYvPFnZA
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.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U46oFko1u
Isabelle twiddles her fingers. "Let's n-not talk a-about it..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfftRoX0JJo
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTbTvmjKfH
"A-Ah! I'm sorry!" The threads loosen, and Arsenio is let free.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaThtWqKez
Arsenio jokingly clears his throat and takes a deep breath.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftwzf1Tg19
"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AXjhDczqp
"Y-You don't need to apologize...it wasn't in your c-control..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEys3wzK55
"Yeah, but...I still feel bad. I mean, I know I like to charm girls and all, but I'm not gonna be disrespectful."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJFZ7AfNc
"...O-okay then..I-I forgive you, Arsenio.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u06AJZFhh
Arsenio gives Isabelle a light pat on the head. "Great, we're friends again."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0I8Oedj2p
"Kids." Verna appears. "Today, please? We have a lot to do tomorrow and I want you guys to be well rested." she hurried.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgDPtmrhC
"We're on our way, jeez..." Catherine returned.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKbDhGq6C
Verna creates a time warp, and the Prodigies return to the Sanctuary.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUhAOjGgGG
"E-Ezra, we're back.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QJYGp7NEc
"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...
