The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
137Please respect copyright.PENANADzmmIOeFw5
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAih5d2dLgGH
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhAVvhHgLLy
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAM9UDbepZJn
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhxa2xlQhPZ
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAmcoBchjIeN
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAHyBZqBviq1
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAV8HOPx6go3
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA508nVUwXjH
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAbA7v69bbRL
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!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhCyo1Lgq
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAO4eWEmTYLR
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAxU2UpaSiJh
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAjruUcMeBIh
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZhnqho1oOl
"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?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhycqa5Ww1W
"W-What is it?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANANd8Wen1T2U
"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?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZNwt5B6wQ9
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAurPxDypdz9
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGjioa8oOLY
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAOnwyu2raXL
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANA7wPN4mSHl0
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZXHwjO9F
"Oh..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAxeWNkQufIm
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAHRPR7QXR2O
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAjj16GQ9bIu
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhSJ7gemOCT
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Q4WQqid3
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAjCcVCkehQD
"I did bring something, just in case..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAwUey1m3bF8
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAC88ufOryAH
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA88Z8QvKD9X
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVYICIgSrZb
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAsrEEncsZfw
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEWYUMZCLQd
***
137Please respect copyright.PENANAFulnBteoFq
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA54YIvVbMjS
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVn5nepIIdA
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZGQsASXoV2
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAUvXrXxfwxB
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANADVi96hbtx2
"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."
137Please respect copyright.PENANACvQc36hh9Z
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZaL15Ml79z
"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."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAJqfhqoJx0x
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANA8qG9e3ZUPX
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAzFh5NS584n
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAuFpSbaJyOi
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAp86214z6gt
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWmM5dOVOrG
"What is it-"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAN2Ta8Qmx8c
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWNEBhRbIZD
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAf0nOq4UzD3
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANANOkc1mJ3BH
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAR284j1wu8F
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAYmCNi4Yf14
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
137Please respect copyright.PENANAHClZPPqagq
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA2lq8BeSoCa
"Gotcha..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANArHBQg1LTTL
"Holy crap, that was easy."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAplSeFQ7Kfw
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA12LdMgaT2y
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA7jL3jFscWs
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAYxrYzNDeNQ
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAyz1YmvT3TF
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAM1n2r8Zmr6
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAmk4knS6B1L
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0MDwVIEqx
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
137Please respect copyright.PENANADlPes1fxG1
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAADYx6zxUgC
"W-where am I?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAOUZf7KYOb7
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA3zi0uxVWr1
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA3fxW8XoH8s
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANA5LaqQQFUTN
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAsAmfxfo0p4
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5BlMvTiw
"Anything else we can do?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAsgXGD6dndR
"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."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGbqC8oAF6u
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAD9TpFH18YS
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA3DzhoPEDL7
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
137Please respect copyright.PENANABG18VKtNIf
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAH2nBkT6WRX
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWzo6epER8b
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAxYo60S6mmr
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA2EO8uAfc8G
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAXhhLP3CliN
"... Alright then.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEAeJLKjm80
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAAclRdoGG4h
"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.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANATvfQtICB0T
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAA238QhbllI
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWbaRYD1ztH
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAXgjSrQE3d3
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAP8G0m4A7OB
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAa1pKdHA7I4
"What the hell do we do?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANALGsjOIVBNf
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAKkB98JUTVY
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANACSPRoUFU2S
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAiUEdZjTMUH
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAzBiG03GwRd
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA75CL1xeVlL
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGZDAu77FaU
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ceDPxYbc
"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."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAqzfNwnxzrG
"This better be worth it then.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA7Df7UQPxEA
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAiKNCEw52nC
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVm74pp9xkp
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANALnBDBAnSnW
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA02UlbYOolg
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAER0SRqNu0q
No response.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAOaIzSYHBzI
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAm1so3s53vz
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAcPflPoRGTZ
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAiQVgb69lu0
"Catherine e-either.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAY1mBPlEEu1
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAh9KbOFzdo9
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA9PAWQKeLD7
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
137Please respect copyright.PENANArnf0FAlzkR
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
137Please respect copyright.PENANApbx2Kze0GS
Catherine immediately woke up.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ1Q3Q91xs
"You what?!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANABrNzRTh9Lb
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEtF4JFp8ud
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAIAM6ngeAH7
She points towards Nathaniel.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAwxtpyjOhsw
"Look at what happened to-"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAY7tpdcc30t
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAq9banYia7G
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANArE8zWEmpQ8
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAcYO0HoV9ww
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVq33qvUvDv
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGdVsppTGdj
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANA4u2TpPz3nM
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANANZ615mPp0Q
Catherine sighs off her anger.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAvqiONcfoKu
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAqbA0AVmhMG
"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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAi6sBHa7jty
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
137Please respect copyright.PENANA3yVTM2tuKD
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAfQMAAIg9b0
***
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZLMXEA9Xw
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAykbNLrvl0I
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA9FwaczshnW
"Where is...?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAh9ulaTti9Z
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
137Please respect copyright.PENANANaI0tWwFuP
"I-I'm worried..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGGOQa5UpfQ
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAH7X5lWSkop
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANANs09DQTD9N
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAsewsXiyvTB
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAyyiSjJKrlS
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAu40FsMUGTd
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAdTU0bJ1jOk
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVxsBymh5xr
"I take it that training did it's work..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANANGZhb2TAFV
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAbzMnPVgFsQ
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAyiDBOx8vRn
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAwYCvYyCThD
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA6gaPYw5zwK
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA0dI8LUzJ5Z
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAY9fMpjT5lu
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWBSVL5lh7N
Catherine sits in between the circle.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAI2v7KEQJsz
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAblqZQJzWtS
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAzFRpTX4ZcM
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA9ThrN03I95
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAUkzfLzUvRV
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAwSbMZo4kzb
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAy2YgYqwBJJ
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAVLx3JUdaKU
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAAIVl7HTbYq
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANABaISJXhZMX
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
137Please respect copyright.PENANADbKMFG72fz
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAbYDp4prhap
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?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWL037Tfqqc
"A lot...what happened here?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANANlfqfoQ1uT
"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..."
137Please respect copyright.PENANACurv2eRwlI
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA0ERs3XyNyV
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAZWHtLDOTvZ
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAmuHPw9gI9F
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA62zXFJP4Au
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhLS9cFRd9P
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA5RFGAkGMfb
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
137Please respect copyright.PENANADz6FO3agXt
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAolis6gEIeI
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAvXTbBE8NeI
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAudJ2WY4c8X
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAPEHaANuTsh
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAwQdUY7qRVE
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
137Please respect copyright.PENANADQfQ1Hl7zs
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANAk5gpbGo2je
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA8T6GhrXACc
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEkP5tVqRkT
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAuedSAjeSap
"... Alright. I trust you."
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEBGuuScytg
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAbV0N15izHw
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.
137Please respect copyright.PENANASdecWWlMLY
More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAr90b4VxHt5
"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
137Please respect copyright.PENANATdFOhn3l3Z
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAfVkZ2uVZv4
However, someone else was in there with them.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA7r40hbeeWL
"Chrono?"
137Please respect copyright.PENANA1nWHEeO7Xu
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
137Please respect copyright.PENANASfS48RhAdD
