The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ3hIW4OTg
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t9RcUbSPt
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24UYGRKy0N
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPwmNqMXIS
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jkQs4aexH
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QeiEdZjrT
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmSvigG8oU
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY6zl5Lt3N
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4yLUBwfrQ
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp1C1sDUWl
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!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt0rOsXE3L
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4kU2GcGFD
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QqSN4G9C7
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPycncGWQw
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkejyIxi4
"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?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxsMiiGucp
"W-What is it?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxUYA6QNM
"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?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c1rQ20cQt
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwhkAREdL
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoRA8V6Nif
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTOWNxThzh
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPIi16ITc
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiePR278T2
"Oh..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ByuHNIJ5
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbej8qkHfps
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb5GPf8bpY
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EdZqCpFsu
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2toHnQ6MO
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElUkUIAr8u
"I did bring something, just in case..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkxeVdStUP
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScCgwAv3vz
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gQRphTV5D
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXcxuiFzgG
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx96J4x2nR
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zTJD3JgcO
***
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wFEGDniw
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRnscfx1X
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQWQqlzrpS
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAfzM6pruj
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDy6AL9ra
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEEqhTUIXZ
"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."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbCiyo76mq
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViRP3BWsq4
"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."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GAXP6s8I6
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsSiwAck25
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh24S9ZsvGt
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNpGYhylx
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4cyzMsUC8
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZM8M5WVo5
"What is it-"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4Lb24En4
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOS55aOxV2
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1TkXxCk81
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmMLGeM4w3
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MggnSdev6
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0nuJnMBJR
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIj4lJhcji
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK1raei4TA
"Gotcha..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa01lX1GDF
"Holy crap, that was easy."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgyk4Fo7V
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4hsZVOOz
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33Xfpzu6z
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9l7baGzl1
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKy46rRVW3
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQySK9hrjMS
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdviaoE2IcB
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhPbjDrnWt
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXq0g10ii
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLjT6vdqe
"W-where am I?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUSuxCsNlg
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJz8C7F9n8
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ueaetyQYx
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxWzHFC4xR
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyFQw9cZER
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjoHxMg1Dw
"Anything else we can do?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXx8R2mbI
"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."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkUUwYR8zy
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISSgrUQMD3
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJOcTJzZDk
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdOdLLHsdL
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmN0fW2Fa4
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhORIUPsi
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmp2KZZkeM
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWHdObIIO
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRD2Tl1mCc
"... Alright then.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOuX794x8D
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnRODNzLFp
"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.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7DfVTWf52
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3R7hQNq9u
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxMJKT5Yo
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn50iFXddz
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPbNTko2fU
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIKiCOR1D
"What the hell do we do?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIwtnAKWAN
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBFDjmCrhS
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdus5LOjBp
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAJqqyO2Ms
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtPlSvTjv6
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSisD95jv5
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYMY05z1If
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnU8n6BY9Y
"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."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNzoj6iOQ
"This better be worth it then.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTzVEF94DQ
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n2AB179cI
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96Bt1L16S
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkKtLo0ahV
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4OSZDMnUL
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwOGPo2mKE
No response.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAq3P1vMDQ
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrkioEPgFH
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgSbp4KWW
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnayp3TIZo
"Catherine e-either.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9ZnfwzYA
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHSDwM63Fj
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOTHXCFSa
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWOJrXNe7
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqwXa8pzfu
Catherine immediately woke up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWVg4dsVh
"You what?!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnheIWBYs
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEWd7B6IY
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8VD4Owxk4
She points towards Nathaniel.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvjjge22ce
"Look at what happened to-"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZmobcTin
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpAPNGsb4t
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEgOchGd6x
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn73XEPG46
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmmNvs15de
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8eGdEaKlS
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lr5jab06l
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3UfiaN3Tu
Catherine sighs off her anger.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyN63asTid
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7JzDtRhHe
"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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmUaxts5ha
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNtaeIYbDx
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXYC4QC7BO
***
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOOTgKjTTN
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8hgh0L8aG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGN26RePZe
"Where is...?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh74txwSUs3
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSlzSMfJwP
"I-I'm worried..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05cn9btlrd
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHwPrutsEO
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5fA3KEH6h
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSFn0I5R2T
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eFcJVbpG
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx5mPZozCR
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A8LKNDCwW
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuYQ8u80wP
"I take it that training did it's work..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ttkePaAn
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08a2TKxv8D
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO6pkDLpIi
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WlIWImHw5
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMc0otSKeJ
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPE8vQJX8g
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCu0G3mtp
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwaaN3wAP5
Catherine sits in between the circle.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS1prDGFnb
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHaDwj54X
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQlluDT5A
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiiQb6Bnym
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXygJRKnx4E
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoynkCIuau
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhttuibautF
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBasDvEHyg
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjzMLSuPpE
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAh0ndWqMS
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5p5AerRr8
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uDqjEnsfJ
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?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8fzsAP4e3
"A lot...what happened here?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOc5whPJHz
"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..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvCf5f23c
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZMwe3EyLF
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdAWKkzpnk
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxK4d5o2V
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yuSHLBpJu
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD4ZYV7IWO
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmeeiGC6vy
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdkZ5Pvbz7
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6EsHo1VR
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwZ91YPtN
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1AhJAH5m0
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ycLNFwV0b
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSxX651V3g
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESrJPPvVb
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYUwhM300
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo117wsR6b
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i2VzesP3H
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.

"... Alright. I trust you."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhsIwqAj2a
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmFVq8OMom
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.

More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.

"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7csjSpv8S
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLMOfnqfxZ
However, someone else was in there with them.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afzzZOfgl
"Chrono?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9NkmFAxjI
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMv0yfIMan
Chrono immediately saw the concerned and frightened look on Catherine's face.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGiozbZCel
"Is something the matter?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09l90Ffbv
"Timebreaker. In the Human Realm."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVePaglY1um
"...That sounds serious..."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g7sfR3bYh
"You think? Now are you gonna help or not?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoW4RcPBdz
Chrono pulls back his sleeves, his arms still carrying a shattered mirror of golden shards around his arms.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjTK8Bp1Du
"...Okay.." he nods. "I'll try my best."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtUgirO9Qn
"We still need to get close enough. The water's gonna slow us down."
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcIpS8uoJ0
"Water?"
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPULblpC6
Without warning, Catherine pulls Chrono out of the Phasing Dimension. The ground around them was now drenched in a sea of dark water and fog.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuecQrPRT4R
The two had to gasp for air, as the water pushed them forward. The water was pushing them towards Noelani.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbter2k1CuO
With guidance of the water, Catherine and Chrono swam their way to the next Timebreaker.
