The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAk5796N112F
Without a sound, the shadow uses their Gift, in which chains, glowing in shades of blue to pink, wrapped around the four of them as quickly as possible. Then, with a yank, pulled them to the floor.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAogUrFkQPSm
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAh72j43x3NP
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAYivJTvuuyH
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAqAQ4jswUq2
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJhZUNGJJvy
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXdC8NMnqNC
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAcmsPwAg7O6
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAxsnVfMB6w1
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdIyqSglwXU
He steps in between the four Prodigies, allowing the ceiling chandelier glow upon him like an angel. He smiles wholesomely, before waving. "I'm Kenzo, and it's really nice to meet the four of you!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAK52REyDRXO
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAntxCqCZgCg
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMZWtGEcawP
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAPmPnw0mZrQ
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA1hD6NqAQfZ
"I woke up earlier this morning." He takes another sip. "...And then went right back to sleep before I could get in a sip. What, did you want some?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjUixG9akUX
"W-What is it?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAIMvANb1NiH
"It's called bubble tea. It's a really popular drink where I'm from." he pushes the drink in front of her. "Do you want a sip or not?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAepPE5VKkfB
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA6HOfzi8YzL
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9EdLaAhNkU
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdl59eoos12
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAcGos06mESM
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXKoByob4Y7
"Oh..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAm9UXRzZiDq
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANA446wh0mXve
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA04wY9OToVL
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAuX7p2t2qMT
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAc4bsHhwrn8
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAF3uU2zPnoi
"I did bring something, just in case..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAYsRAqNcOIx
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAkPiPK8v8am
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3MgGJk4l
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAftGeVbm3BW
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAbBCFKquw9p
They continue with the game, using it as an ice breaker to get to know Kenzo. After that, the group became more accustomed to his high-spirited personality, and over the course of a few days, the five became close.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMzBTqL5Hbj
***
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJQcWf6Avn0
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA6ymYwvV3u3
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtWiXXj7kK0
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAThnqrf0r4c
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJKOVMBGG6z
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAzpo3AXJAsJ
"This time I'll have to split you into two groups. They figured out we woke up during the morning hours and they've escaped into the Human Realm."
413Please respect copyright.PENANApPsgRovNKB
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAl2X3ZfrFPV
"But don't worry, they don't seem to be causing havoc yet. You still have time to stop them before they cause a problem."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAWzXAWKAiqK
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjQZp7MoQZP
Verna takes Arsenio and Isabelle, while Nathaniel takes Kenzo and Catherine. Through two different time warps they ran, ending up in two different Time Periods.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKpUAm4X851
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVYOpASKAQB
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA71MU9333Of
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9NShBLF1kW
"What is it-"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAnYsFRaUUq2
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjgjE7OSkGC
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAaO3n8j6Njt
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANANyFrUHXE1F
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjpvJOdPsgW
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAT4kyl6uznr
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
413Please respect copyright.PENANAU7TpgEhFey
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA6mCmXcTWx7
"Gotcha..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAUpxTMsVOpz
"Holy crap, that was easy."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAe8gmnpcYgu
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAofzLZfVTpz
A dark snarling fox was standing there, with long legs, sharp teeth and a pair of wings that span like a black cape. As Kenzo slammed the animal towards the ground, the wings began to flap.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA2dkYcOZycC
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAp5d2q7QTHX
But within a few seconds the legs of the fox grew long and wrapped around Kenzo's chains like a vine, draining from Gift itself.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAqEOvM6Uz5f
The creature's high pitched chuckle taunted him as it forcefully sucked the aura from Kenzo, watching him wince as he suffers through. It's bloodshot eyes were bulging out of its sockets and its body began to glow with aura.
413Please respect copyright.PENANALTHQ3TDvdb
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAHrPKrGQhEb
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAfAMgkqecgp
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA6yP5kp918C
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2iN6JGMCa
"W-where am I?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAbIcMK0X5QW
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA63R7LT6zwr
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFvnRiiw7ry
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAytiUqSIPsv
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
413Please respect copyright.PENANApHRNPPD5eV
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAgtuHdddT1t
"Anything else we can do?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Eq0OUcIO
"I do have this one part of my ability.. An impenetrable forcefield that gives energy and strength to whoever's inside. However, it takes a lot of Tempural Energy, so it's a final gambit, so to speak."
413Please respect copyright.PENANANxiy11PrCT
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAf1EbfUQYXi
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVWUlKCWE8n
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
413Please respect copyright.PENANASGHjYZZqdB
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANARrOsIEsGVY
Piravit uses the field of Tempural Energy where Kenzo laid, and the immediate drawback hit Catherine like a truck. She stumbled back a little to catch herself, but managed to keep standing upright.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAcqkIndv9vo
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9IZgZipI82
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtXVnd6KXWB
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA1RQ4riVnbS
"... Alright then.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAD8tKFIRbjN
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
413Please respect copyright.PENANApSp9RAGZUe
"I would stay clear if I were you..."
Nathaniel warns before a ball of crimson comes up as he coughs. "It can...and shall.. use others' abilities against them.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAv12xGZ9i8X
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAlsORrPTUMi
Those chains became whips as it controlled them to attack the Prodigies. The two of them barely had time to escape, taking hits from metal links and further hurting themselves when they hit the ground to evade.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAHwsknBWY8x
They began to get up, but it was all for nothing, as the clattering of chains began to call once more. They brace for impact, when a surge of wind began flying around them like a whirlwind. Glass windows shatter from the pressure, being picked up by a tornado. Leaves begin to pluck off of the trees and become straight as an arrow. They start looking up. The Time Fox was using the chain links, spinning them like a top until an unstoppable wind tore through the air around them.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvuWVtKug
The glass was starting to cut through their clothes and strike their faces, as Piravit's and Nathaniel's become slashed terribly with red marks. The Fox only kept laughing at their suffering, and decided to take it a bit further.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA28XZTByvVu
With the wind's affect, Nathaniel begins to rise, as the cutting debris began closing on him. He tried to escape the gale of death, but it was no use. Within seconds, Nathaniel is enveloped in shards of glass. He has to endure as the fragile blades tear into his skin and create new scars on top of existing ones.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXXviSxOzK4
"What the hell do we do?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7M02KjB4S6
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
413Please respect copyright.PENANA3FHIIRrFUF
Catherine swapped into her body, clenching her wounds as she looks at the situation. Then she dove into the whirlwind, reaching for Nathaniel's destroyed clothes, and tears him out.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAySQdX6d2yD
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAL0YrKltXko
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAgx8s509sqC
Miraculously, no vital points were cut, but the amount of wounds were becoming an issue. It seems that Nathaniel passed out from the pain and was laying lifeless in Catherine's arms.
413Please respect copyright.PENANALmDyRmlsEP
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAHkbI74dc0G
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAxicLxL9GSm
"Alright..." Piravit peeks from her side. "There's one last move we can try. It'll remove the barrier protecting the boys, but it's supposed to deal large amounts of damage. That way we can wake Kenzo at least and finish it off."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAbSe6j3NX9E
"This better be worth it then.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7tkdpSum4F
Catherine feels a surge of energy form as she felt a lump in her throat. When she opens her mouth indistinctly, the energy flew out of her mouth as a beam.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAGnsdWqeaeG
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJKWGuHENfI
Abruptly, before she could see the impact and the effect, a wave of unexpected fatigue made Catherine stumble, spears of tiredness prodding at her body before she fell back.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtdpJN9TUG0
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
413Please respect copyright.PENANADUbbtdjuDr
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAZJDbnsX1rv
No response.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdfPjmf88jH
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAglBeYG59HF
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAm6EHEN7ulx
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAqlAKdkbtJY
"Catherine e-either.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9hCiwaCvPN
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAlonBf0Q9BT
With a loud, hearty whistle from Verna, the Time Fox that Catherine and Nathaniel had used their energy to fight suddenly...
sprinted right in front of her and sat down.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAyIi37QouZ6
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA5PlHhzi54X
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOYzwRMvH33
Catherine immediately woke up.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAO3kl4UPHFB
"You what?!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANARh1d2wKl78
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
413Please respect copyright.PENANATlzAXw4yzC
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAAM91Kwtzio
She points towards Nathaniel.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOkAKbL1WbB
"Look at what happened to-"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAWYTuYUG78F
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAIXzzXt5mke
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdkUVaC7mQD
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAofBKwM8qmY
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAj5kMR0eBrP
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAcSBYkbZQct
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKrQ2nzfrnw
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAplaW3jTBe2
Catherine sighs off her anger.
413Please respect copyright.PENANADqNICe83x1
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAuXLnzHPZOT
"Yes, that's very true, however..." Verna finishes Catherine's thoughts. Catherine could already predict what she was going to say, looking at her feet.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXVen7C6SrL
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAEa9tBwBKFg
With a wave of her fingers, the time warp to the Sanctuary opened up, and the Prodigies tiredly trudged back into their beds, before blankly taking a well deserved nap.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAguoZkFWt3t
***
As their wounds began to heal, the Prodigies trained for the next few months, taking care of any Timebreaker while on their mental journey. As the weeks rolled by, their abilities began to grow and evolve into even stronger forms.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAmkeCsecdi1
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAstuNjJiDLX
When Nathaniel, Kenzo, Arsenio and Isabelle met back up in the Sanctuary, a calming but piercing silence struck them as they looked at one another.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXpq0IWpW7x
"Where is...?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAhEKhNQsKJP
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
413Please respect copyright.PENANADS7GPWgTIf
"I-I'm worried..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAa8gEQtAKyO
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA4zwl7QB4T6
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA6fiwKDQrOP
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
413Please respect copyright.PENANApyxOZAjkZN
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA69b4ceOoQH
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7bG2DGRF3
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAyobGaDkegV
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFuyChNru2i
"I take it that training did it's work..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAejK1h0QGvt
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjgsmRurRGI
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjs5U9rRo9H
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAYmu0jznyot
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAemGfsVSeOd
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFz59GRSIpi
Eventually, Catherine got tired of laying down and jumped out of bed. Outside, she could hear voices. When she pushed open the doors to the Time Realm, the others, sat in a circle, were having a picnic.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZyqynDnDw
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAZfF0YkWUCN
Catherine sits in between the circle.
413Please respect copyright.PENANA2MnOkgroBl
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAIkf5jnd6JP
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAU5YjCMrYtp
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAivQPp1kDJt
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
413Please respect copyright.PENANADBMlo07LSL
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAxyGkEPsamt
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAZfLszXKdd1
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMcL5YbKraN
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
413Please respect copyright.PENANABVDJ0vdu5m
The TV was on, papers lay in every corner, and Talia was asleep on the couch with her blanket, ripped straight out of her box, curled around her.
413Please respect copyright.PENANARXlUIFUCyL
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAlcQx1g1P4M
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOzdxy1Ibvz
Talia turns on the lamp on the table beside her, temporarily blinding herself.
She immediately gets up and scans Catherine's hands and face.
"You look terrible! What happened?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANA5pWfgG9xhA
"A lot...what happened here?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Dk9ASC3A
"Well ever since you left, I had to do all of your college work for you, so it's a lot stressful more for me..."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAaw68op5qTF
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOMeLzfHFuo
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANATDd8UlbL8h
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMgnFvujPxK
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAAn6kuvVfxj
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFnAcRByzqr
It was as worse as she thought. Another Timebreaker had entered from a time warp of it's own, tearing a hole from the sky.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXay4fGveWc
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVrP6LWCJ47
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjz8z4qPsjS
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAmN5D6aTfSf
Catherine ran as fast as she could, despite her minor injuries pulling her back. The sky was turned a bright maroon, as a large hand began reaching for the ground from the sky.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJOhVpL1ZVS
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtzzqFanBbt
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ2hSzIIKK
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAqfa7klcbvs
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANADSisbKdbty
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAl6LFTqGBq1
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsbLsHWMS2d
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJjmMQGmjFG
"... Alright. I trust you."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAOB8t1SasmT
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAlTwEGVZhwp
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAPyYr7TonfH
More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.
413Please respect copyright.PENANACiM1lmpmRQ
"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
413Please respect copyright.PENANAx0kapqMjyS
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAxBn0xj5lv2
However, someone else was in there with them.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMo8HQW7wnO
"Chrono?"
413Please respect copyright.PENANALYOYDN1FJO
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
413Please respect copyright.PENANAt1QM8R1PlM
Chrono immediately saw the concerned and frightened look on Catherine's face.
413Please respect copyright.PENANAXU1Q1Lsefb
