Catherine and Chrono exit the dimension, where they return to Eran's cabin.
Everyone was still asleep, with Nathaniel on the couch and Talia right beside him. A94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0OEdRJvUi
blanket was draped over them.
At this point, Nathaniel's hair had been changed a bright white, almost none of his original hair color remained.
"...Let's stay quiet for now.." Chrono says, stepping over Arsenio and Isabelle.
Catherine nods and does the same.
They head outside. The fresh, but cold air lightly brushed their hair in different94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxqNS2xTdk
directions.
"...Well? Where are we going?"
"...I can feel another Timebreaker. They're somewhere."
"Then let's hurry. People might be in danger."
With a Time Warp, Catherine and Chrono make their way to the time of 1911. Their94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrfCqcGA8y
clothes change to match that of the current year, and they run out to fnd the94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOv16CpKqI
Timebreaker.
No sign of them at all. A presence did linger however.
"Hmm.." Chrono pondered. "Catherine, could you make a barrier around the entire area until we fgure out what to do next?"
"I could try."
Catherine created a barrier large enough to protect about twenty yards.
"I think this is as best as I can do and keep it up for a while. We still need to think94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7O5S01Ur
quickly."
Then there was a commotion from inside a nearby house.
"...You think that's them?"
Chrono nods. "You can go ahead and remove the barrier."
Catherine removes the energy, and they run in the direction of the sounds.
They run into the house, fnding a small girl, crying underneath the table. The house room they entered was in shambles, scratch marks all over the walls and furniture. Chairs and lamps turned over...and disturbing enough, lifeless bodies strewn about covered in94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPirYWCNabr
blood and scratches themselves.
"...Jesus Christ." Catherine said in astonishment.
Chrono runs to the little girl under the table. She looks up, in obvious shock.
"Are you okay?" he asks, taking her from underneath the table.
She shakes her head no. Her hair and clothes are wet from blood.
"Did you see what attacked you and your family?"
She nodded.
"What did you see?"
"It was... invisible for a second, and then it went after mama and papa... and then it94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8X5kwzu7
went to my little brother...and then it... disappeared..."
"Poor kid..." Catherine mumbled.
"W-who are you people?"
"We're...here to hunt for that creature that attacked your family. Did you see where it94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2XC3HaWSj
went afterwards?"
"It could've went through the back door..."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgK3HPKDHY
Catherine looks at the door, which was torn off it's hinges. "She might be right..."
Chrono puts a hand on the girl's head. She makes an unfamiliar face. He leans in close.
"What's your name?"94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLpvonk79
"Lillian..." She whispers.
Chrono smiles, "Nice to meet you Lillian. I'm Chrono, and that's my friend, Catherine."
Lillian, still a bit surprised at Catherine's appearance, waves.
"...What's wrong?"
"She looks like the creature. Big hair... sharp claws and..."
"She's not them. She's a friend of mine, like I said."
Catherine walks up to the both of them and extends her own hand, showing she was94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFwRZhXwbn
not a threat.
"Yep, this look is just a...costume.."
Chrono immediately agrees. "Mhm! Just a costume!"
Lillian cocks her head in confusion. "Huh?"
"We'll explain later. Right now, we gotta get outta here..."
"What should we do?"
"Hurry."
The three take off through the back door.
"Here." Catherine says, as her hands glow a cyan blue. "I'm making a bubble that can94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwKLAE5JIm
protect you, Lillian. You stay in there while we catch this creature. It won't be able to94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeoqBHvh2z
break in and get you while you're in there."
The child is hesitant to go in, unfamiliar of the situation at hand.
"Come on."
"No."
"C'mon! It'll be alright."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLSaIcYdY
Catherine carefully cradles Lillian in her arms, standing her upright. The bubble fills up, protecting the little one from danger.
It floats up slowly, hovering above the ground.
"There we go. Now it can move around when we move."
...A quick wind, and the skin on Catherine's cheek...has a scratch mark on it.
"...What the hell?" She touches the injury on her cheek, blood smearing onto her fngers.
"Stand back. It's here." A shadow looms from the alleyway. It speaks with a lispy, yet deadly voice. "Give me the child..."
Lillian doesn't make a sound. Her trembling body shields a silent scream within her94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgxMmNols3
heart.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkvG6C3yEG
At first glance, nothing seemed to have changed. It was the exact same thing as94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtCz9r2fkA
before, but Chrono and Catherine knew better. They put themselves back to back.
The shadow, however slid in between them.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pjed1eo8K
It lunged for Catherine first, gripping onto her clothing, but never getting farther due to her overwhelming strength. She throws it aside. It returned quickly and goes for94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS4toZGiLk
another attack. It quickly became apparent why they had never seen anything quite94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkAD5NLq8k
like it. Its lanky frame whipped from side to side without any means of balancing itself. It continually used to either leg to thrust forward with a series of kicks and other attacks. However, even its power was strong enough to knock Catherine off her feet.
"Who are you?"94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIG7AFtTPv
"I am Sheido..." It says, swaying eagerly from side to side. "Where darkness goes...I94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5BDHZVGNp
follow."
"You attacked this poor girl and killed her family. For what reason?" Chrono interrogated.
"For the power!" It shouts, its voice echoing in the alley. "To take what is rightfully mine!"
"Heh...heh heh. And I shall kill again. Try and keep up..." The shadow hisses, disappearing into dark smoke.
"Damn it! We have to fnd out where it went!" Catherine shouted as she ran in the opposite direction.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXvjZ5biVI
"Before it hurts someone..again..." Chrono followed suit.
Out in the street, Catherine, Chrono and Lillian look around for Sheido, but they're unsuccessful. There's too many cars to look under, so many buildings or people it could be under. However, as they continue to look, Chrono sees a small group of people gathered around what seems to be a body.
"Hey! Stop!" He shouts, running towards them.
The people scatter quickly and the two look at the body. Scratch marks, blood on the94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqUlot518Q
sidewalk. Sheido had definitely killed this man.
"This thing's fast..."
"Mr. Chrono, there it goes!" Lillian shouts as she points to a building across the street.
"Good eye, kid!" Catherine says, running up to the building.
With a deep breath, Catherine begins to feel a burning energy within her body, before releasing it in a fiery blast. But, by just a hair, it missed Sheido, allowing it to escape.
It causes more destruction as it runs off, cutting trees from their bases, killing people and consuming their souls, destroying houses... nothing was safe.
"This is really starting to piss me off!" Catherine shouts as she runs up to the shattered, destroyed remains of one of the houses.
"Calm down, but what do we do?" Chrono asked as he watched the sun continue to set in the horizon.
"We have to find Sheido and kill it before it kills everyone and us too!"
Chrono stops time in order to get a headstart. Then, Catherine takes the two, climbs on top of a destroyed building, and runs as fast as she can. She can see little parts of the city through the slits of buildings and is relatively sure that she's running in the right direction.
She then stops in the middle of a building, and sets up a forcefield, finally having Sheido trapped.
"Well? There's nowhere to go. You can hand me the soul piece now, or I can kill you. The choice is yours."
Sheido was reluctant to give up, but seeing how its partner was becoming more and more impatient, it decided it needed to fight back. It gets into a fighting stance.
"That's what I like to see." Catherine states as she starts to laugh.
Sheido lunges, allowing Catherine to throw it onto the other side of the forcefield and receive lots of damage.
It hisses.
"So predictable, Sheido. You keep pulling the same stunt and expect me to be surprised every time..."
"I can't let you have this!"
With a sharp claw, it stabs Catherine in the stomach.
"Damn it!" Catherine cries.
Sheido pushes the already deep claw even deeper, causing Catherine to cough up more blood.
"I will not allowed you to take this from me."
Catherine spits blood in its face. "If you d-don't want me to take it..."
With great force, Catherine grabs the soul piece from Sheido's chest, causing it to scream.
"...Then don't come so close..." she takes out the soul piece, which quickly enters Catherine's Prodigy watch. After she has done that, she holds it tightly.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JPbr2JZv
The Prodigy watch glows with bright white light.
Chrono stares at the glowing object. "What is it?"
"It's the soul piece. She has it." Verna calls.
"She...has it?"
"The three soul pieces accumulated so far have been hiding in the Prodigies' watches for safe keeping, until we can gather all five of them and put my soul back together."
"What about the Fabric? If we don't fix it soon, the universe will collapse!" Chrono yells.
"I know. I know...but I can't do anything without a body."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrokI6rNBp
"I understand. I'll help." Chrono offers.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. As Father Time, it's important I help my people. My purpose is to protect my people and save humanity. That means helping those I love."
"We have to hurry and get the others. We have to gather the remaining soul pieces as quickly as possible, so Verna and the other Timekeepers can mend the Fabric."
"Right. Okay. Let's go."
With that, Chrono takes the lead, they run back to the cabin. Once there, they inform the others of the situation, and ask for their help. Everyone agrees to help and heads out to gather the rest of the soul pieces. Lillian is taken care of by Ezra.
They begin an all out war with the Timebreakers by doing this. They just have to live to see it through to the end.
