The Prodigies jump from bed, and exposed their Gift, and preparing for this person's next move.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAlSWhxskYzS
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANANejOLLB3tb
"Damnit! I can never get some sleep without getting attacked, can I?" Catherine asked, struggling.
444Please respect copyright.PENANABnOzP2dWhU
Verna turns on the light, revealing the mess that happened.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAQex0u8RPsm
"I told you to wait until morning so you don't provoke them!"
She scowls. "Release them at once!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANApzYSUQksrI
Shadow obscured his face, but he removed the mystical chains that bonded the Prodigies together.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAwDl0jcQOPz
"I'm sorry, Prodigies. If I had known he snuck out, I would've stopped him."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXO4KRSwnPx
"He's lucky you showed up! I would've torn his ass to pieces!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA4kmOyN92H3
"Catherine.." Isabelle whispered, trying to fix her behavior.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAFibLINRSMn
"...Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAcomVrxCzST
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!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgDVcG6QNtN
"Those chains must've been your Gift then.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA4wjntR5pP8
Kenzo nods. "I really hope I didn't startle you with it.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAQZHbhWPszP
"Nah, you're good." Arsenio returns, taking a drink of bubble tea.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAy96qOrSFZi
"H-How did you get that?" Isabelle asks confusingly.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhlqu6EF65k
"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?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANArTxOnymsiU
"W-What is it?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANASzLpdeXMME
"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?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMvJHNXN97a
"Isn't t-that extremely u-unsanitary?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhtC7HObpWW
"It's fine, it's not like I'm sick or something..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAeE8sdNuo6k
Nathaniel interrupts them. "Thy drink is not important at the moment. Kenzo was in the middle of introducing himself."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxopAQCe2ON
"Ah, don't worry about me! I'm not that interesting compared to you four!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANACJ5fQ6hvWC
"Technically, there's six of us.." Catherine states. "I have a ghost dragon attached to me, and Isabelle has...a different version of herself.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAfFRfePSy1E
"Oh..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAsNIcJ4d28f
"B-but don't worry...it's only triggered by Dawlly...who won't be d-doing anything until I say so.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAlRRPzePVqL
Dawlly slips back into her dress pocket with an angry, but defeated look.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA90qdPlyOmR
"W-Well...no matter how many people there are, it's very nice to meet you."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYayN9L55
"Well, unless we need to go to fight whoever the hell tries, we just hang out here."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAoDoxONs1nQ
Catherine looks around. "Not a lot to do though other than sit here.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3fdVsqfR62
"I did bring something, just in case..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAVvD0zSa1ye
He takes off his backpack, which seemed mostly empty. He reaches into the largest compartment, and pulls out a deck of playing cards.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1I4a0cL1UG
"I love card games, they can be the ultimate decider, and a lot of fun as well."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA975K57e0Zm
He spreads the cards like a bird's wings.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1MFGxSYgzE
"Pull out one card. The one with the highest number goes first."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOkzZhIPc1V
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMRRMY43OZA
***
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOGgYW7dYJ2
Verna comes up with their usual wake up call.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgxonw4bCzF
"Good morning, Prodigies!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxEp6a3mFOt
The Prodigies jump up from bed, messy-haired.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAnfRJxoRq88
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Verna apologized. "I know sleep is important, but something just came up."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAS8rimtZbNL
Catherine stretched. "What is it this time?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAKQyTIBcnr7
"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."
444Please respect copyright.PENANACoBuTEBwwH
A wave of concern hit Catherine and the others.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAAbGh9IZwJb
"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."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAAjSgztXaGl
"Well hurry up with this pep talk so we can go!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hpxqkxb13
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAmesRXiiuBq
On the other side, the sky above was a deep blue.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA4WhkWozv6k
"So much for waking up in the morning, huh?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1FG5pwUc75
As they keep walking, Nathaniel stops them.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAdvmfUDrPbX
"What is it-"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAVhC22vTksd
"Our threat is over there. I can feel the Tempural Energy."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHSo6ZMfVnN
Catherine tries to feel it, and a twinge of aura rushed towards her body.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3bADnMqwHT
"Yeah, I can kinda feel it.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANApTseRRDCXJ
"Then we have no time to waste. Let's go."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxj2N87HVjj
Kenzo swings from his chains towards the danger, while Nathaniel and Catherine run on foot.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHUofGIYbOM
The aura was carefully getting stronger. Then, in the town square..
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjUd97qedYb
It was a swift blur, snatching things from every hand. Kenzo however, was quick enough himself to try and catch it.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgDjwf4qfrV
"Gotcha..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAvHdDfs5mVU
"Holy crap, that was easy."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAUM5M9Cr8H2
"Do not let thy guard down. Anything could happen in this short amount of time."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9HQv3sXiIC
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgrXBKpqidd
"I don't think it's going anywhere in the situation it's in.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA36yTPb1rW3
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAchtAj8OSmr
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2ppB2YcYlR
"Nathaniel...I think it's using his Tempural Energy!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1s6c8MsVHa
"Catherine, assist Kenzo. I shall take care of the beast."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA7Llhwe9OUE
Without question, Catherine dragged Kenzo's nearly unconscious body to the Phasing Dimension. While she's in there, she starts to wake Kenzo up.
444Please respect copyright.PENANARk8hgzFTRN
"Wake up, damnit! Wake up!" she yells, shaking him vigorously. Kenzo's eyes begin slowly open.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoBpjtqZw
"W-where am I?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAldr2B5fudO
"A safe space, now hurry up." Catherine starts to push him out.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2pw1op9eV5
"I don't have nearly enough energy to fight that thing. I barely have any left to move..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJqMIdDMLWW
Catherine sighs. "Piravit, what should we do?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA5WLLyNV2PG
Piravit comes dashing towards her before coiling herself around Catherine's body.
444Please respect copyright.PENANArYJ2qYR4D3
"He's allowed to stay and regain some Tempural Energy. But nothing more."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJr0QcNbh9v
"Anything else we can do?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXWgivHf3cY
"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."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAl9SCMlYQSx
"...At least it's better than getting him a cup of coffee..." She turns to Kenzo, who was about to doze off once again.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAKjHS9grIa7
She grabs his wrists and drags him up to the normal realm, where the now slightly injured Nathaniel still fought valiantly.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAbvsZmNiBye
The fox only kept weaving around his attacks and striking his weak spots whenever possible.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAUXh5IYgU0w
"Piravit, cast the spell, it'll be a while before we finish this thing off.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANApPugTy3KQ0
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZJUZv07h6W
"Don't worry, he's practically untouchable. We just need to fight this thing before-"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAIpaYcRVfLG
Piravit was instantly switched into Catherine's body.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9de7fYv1Z4
"You know more about this thing than I do. Have at it." Catherine said, hovering as a ghost.
444Please respect copyright.PENANARqCWpIN72K
"... Alright then.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANARsAq1GsjR2
Piravit immediately ran towards the fight between Nathaniel and the Time Fox, as it kept twisting and turning it's body like vines.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHljbr5b8ZJ
"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.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAbrDszaExTo
Piravit noticed what Nathaniel was talking about. The familiar cry of chains rang throughout the air as they cradled the Time Fox.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6OVM2sms4m
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2gms6oN6tu
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAaq0OlZ45MT
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAk5xdQCW09H
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANASVUGBpE1uP
"What the hell do we do?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXEXvtw40Qd
"We have to get him out of there, even if it hurts you in the process."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAyUNGpsLxc8
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAnmACxGSKjw
The Time Fox cocks its head curiously, and stops the whirlwind.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAY3p4uItbmq
"Nate!" Catherine tries to wake him up.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAnuWDYCJAvx
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAFlCDD4hJIT
"Damnit, now I have this entire thing all by myself..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANALHSl1hPjOo
Catherine huffed as she dragged the injured Nathaniel to safety, laying him next to Kenzo.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAdr1S9qQ4qg
"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."
444Please respect copyright.PENANASuOphj3bIn
"This better be worth it then.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAcQLryLEkD1
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANACvu7eld6l1
The beam's flow began to mimic one of a dragon's movement, before tearing through the sky and hitting the target.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAaodtdjLTAj
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA974q4qhswB
The barrier that protected Nathaniel and Kenzo faded away, with Kenzo being the only one noticing.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHYriquCb0k
"Catherine! Are you alright?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxwzLB3RDGJ
No response.
444Please respect copyright.PENANALOHdzwgQgQ
Kenzo jumps up to check on her, tripping and stumbling to get to her.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2r3n4Ivxv
Just in time, Arsenio and Isabelle ran to their aid.
444Please respect copyright.PENANABZWAzeXjxC
"Looks like Nate's not waking up for a while.." Arsenio says jokingly.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA54iNpoCzfn
"Catherine e-either.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAWFKMxeUFgA
Verna drifts behind.
"Looks like they have lots more training to do..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAx2L3RdRqQn
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAk7DWsC2Ri1
Verna gave it affection and gave an innocent smile.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXhA2z8F86d
"Surprise surprise! This was a trial. A little test to show how much you Prodigies have grown."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAScLnmKluae
Catherine immediately woke up.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAFkyOJj2LRX
"You what?!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAdepdjHVQnB
Catherine jumps from her laying position and sprinted towards Verna in a rage.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA8pqhCVXxB5
"You made that thing tear us up for a test?!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAIU6xpWWdHO
She points towards Nathaniel.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ8QuwiJMd
"Look at what happened to-"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAj4LkQcMmGv
Nathaniel slowly stands up, as if he received no damage from the entire fight. He then chuckled quietly to himself.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAa69ldeXWPs
"I hast been through worse, Catherine, trust me.." he continues to laugh. "These are nothing but flesh wounds.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJLw59UXhgS
Catherine was even more dumbfounded than before. "Oh, you have to be kidding me!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA0jMI3Jyg2f
"It seems like thou were finally bested in terms of wit.." Nathaniel begins laughing even more hysterically.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAILU2OSQN0F
"Damn.." Arsenio also chuckles.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6ro2ET8c7C
"Shut the hell up, both of you! It's not funny!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAqZZfuMD41q
Isabelle tries to calm Catherine down. "I-it's okay Catherine..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJC3stviIHn
Catherine sighs off her anger.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAUqMkL2VnIH
"Well, at least everyone's alright..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXzIpbMUZLI
"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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANALhVw2FC2Oc
"Don't worry. I will train you five to the best of my ability."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAy3PRZr3JLq
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkpn4BSadfU
***
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAfRdOd5u8Sd
Verna gave each of them a task to do as part of their training, getting harder in difficulty as time went on.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAwpc8TLmZzk
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAbc0vSPC4Sz
"Where is...?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAEZHX4QTo8T
They realized Catherine hadn't returned from her training on the mountain, where she had to spar with Piravit and sleep there.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOBmviYtcFw
"I-I'm worried..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHGyFKYNxzI
"What for Izzy?" Dawlly asked.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJTBVvMjhdF
"W-what if Catherine got h-hypothermia and...?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAzitjQasSNd
"Now Belle, we have to be optimistic. She'll be fine." Arsenio responds.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZS0Xn038Pz
"Yeah, she's stronger than a cool breeze." Kenzo says, flipping around his chain earring.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2P15jQnoMu
Just then, someone came from a time warp.
The others turning around, Catherine stood shivering and seconds away from falling.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ewmLqrqo
"Catherine! Thank goodness you're alright!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA0DofhC6Trc
Kenzo carefully carried her to the nearest bed, and blanketing her in all the sheets and comforters that he could wrap around her.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAsj4eogCx91
"I take it that training did it's work..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANATUYW4zkLRE
"Yeah.." Catherine says before coughing.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhDXe8mfnOf
"Oh dear..." Ezra exclaimed. "Do you need some soup?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA7JKwByv0WN
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine by tomorrow."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAr50nOmKvsK
Catherine turned around to let her back face the others, forcefully closing her eyes.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAGeFrO49Yqr
The other Prodigies slowly left her with her whispering thoughts.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNN9sZjwK
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA7hGJK9QM2d
"O-Oh. Hello Catherine..." Isabelle greets. "We were just having lunch and watching the boys p-play card games.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANABqTumMsuPB
Catherine sits in between the circle.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMyd4E0OnAL
"We saved you a sandwich, by the way."
Arsenio says, before pointing towards the basket.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA14SgUtRh4x
Catherine takes the last sandwich from the basket, still quiet.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAVGKrnw2kfk
"...You alright Catherine? You've looked a little down ever since you came back.." Kenzo states, still keeping his eyes focused on the game.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAKK1PsdnDqd
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, probably.." she returns, wolfing another part of her lunch.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAB4J3NDsgrd
"Maybe a game will cheer you up."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjPOAI5NnGP
Catherine takes the last bite of her sandwich.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkGyv5CYnef
"Remind me next game. I'm gonna go back home for a minute... collect my thoughts and talk to Talia.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAK8qmlPJPHH
Catherine opens the time warp back home, walking into it's bright blue center.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAvIpqrZFf3t
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANADzWd9XoLS6
"Talia..." Catherine said quietly. "Tal. Wake up."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA8zwBSNIYdZ
Talia's eyes look into Catherine's direction.
"Catherine?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAqKjaU9CCoY
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?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJMlKIOa63j
"A lot...what happened here?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAlPf2Cpp3mb
"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..."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhLWkXhcHcu
Talia sits Catherine down on the couch.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAvTCqRf4UZZ
"I haven't been able to sleep for hours...and to have this effort to be rewarded to you.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vw6qEJ6u1
"...You take the degree then. I won't be here long enough to use it anyway.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANACQDlkFxpK7
Catherine starts to open another time warp, when, in the distance, a loud explosion rang outside.
444Please respect copyright.PENANARFwUyLBJlk
"What the hell was that?" Catherine runs to the window and throws open the curtains.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1GZU1IYVzv
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxyHE5HDDvW
Catherine starts sprinting out of the door.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAEApfTOAw1o
"Catherine, where are you going?!" Talia yells from the open door.
444Please respect copyright.PENANACW8f4D7uhT
"Stay inside! I'll get this whole thing resolved!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANA0rz9lwxPun
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.
444Please respect copyright.PENANABik5Ue1VS6
"At this point, I'm not gonna make it.."
Catherine says under clenched teeth.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hiwt6KwfL
She opens her mouth again, ready to expel the Phasing Dragon Wave as a distraction, but Piravit stops her.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAcaw9NkXDby
"Catherine no! I said it's a final gambit! You won't have enough energy to continue fighting if you-"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMsCZdqGBRT
"This is a final gambit situation, damnit!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAKLGetXqDzV
She looks as the dark arm pressed against the ground.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAonpQg9aj13
"If I don't do something, people are going to die, and that's on me."
444Please respect copyright.PENANA5faaruF1xg
Piravit also looks at the situation, taking in the horrors it might bring to humanity.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAPuAlY74fbg
"... Alright. I trust you."
444Please respect copyright.PENANApXbgJj9oms
With those words, Catherine keeps running, but suddenly, the sky became pouring with rain.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAi31f5y4yP2
The Timebreaker, Noelani the Siren, sat with a bland dazzle against the red sky, singing a high pitched song that pierced Catherine's ears.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2uaiHUEnlk
More rain began to fall, water began pooling to her ankles.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOEsjHfUbND
"I'm not gonna make it with this water slowing me down.."
444Please respect copyright.PENANAPF0TOUpR6H
Catherine instinctively dives below, slipping into the Phasing Dimension once again.
444Please respect copyright.PENANAD91tvKK1zT
However, someone else was in there with them.
444Please respect copyright.PENANArmVOMEbRmt
"Chrono?"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAAbTLaXZCoW
"Catherine! It's been quite a while!"
444Please respect copyright.PENANAP8I6KmwECl
Chrono immediately saw the concerned and frightened look on Catherine's face.
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6G6xnLjVgq
