Back at the sanatorium, Naomi and Copen were trying to explain what they did after the S-FIT incident. If their parents didn't believe them, the two would be grounded for a day.
And this time, there would be no 'you're ungrounded' or Nori to help them out of their 'sticky situation'.
Now, Naomi, since I believe you and Copen have evidence for your claims, you're are free to leave," Dr. Kamizono notified. "As for you Copen, I'm afraid I'm not finished speaking with you just yet." Dr. Kamizono added.
"Well, what else is there left for me to say? At first it was just me and Naomi fighting against any Adepts that Nori told us about. A few months later, I tracked Naomi down to the QUILL building. Soon enough all of this crap comes crashing down." Copen remarked.
Dr. Kamizono shook his head in disapproval.
"I'm sorry Copen, but since I don't have any evidence to support your statement, I have no choice but to ground you." Dr. Kamizono stated.
Copen growled before storming of. Back at the Hermitage, everyone finished eating the cookies and got back to work. Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door. Aelita opened it and saw Naomi with Lola. Aelita jumped at Naomi and hugged her before both girls fell on the floor.
Aelita then grabbed Lola and hugged her extremely tight. Lola tried revving her motors as much as she could without overheating. Lola then had to stop because she was about to overheat.
"Sometimes I wish I had functioning arms besides in my Muse form." Lola muttered angrily.
Naomi turned around and noticed this before prying Lola out of Aelita's arms. Aelita didn't notice this and accidentally hugged herself. When she opened her eyes, Aelita saw this and looked down curiously. Naomi and Aelita made eye contact along with Lola who exchanged curious glances with Naomi about Aelita.
Franz then saw Naomi and smiled.
"Hello Naomi, would you like some cookies?" Franz greeted.
Naomi shook her head.
"No thank you, I was out all night and I have to probably go back out soon. I don't want to lose what I ate. And I find I function better on an empty stomach." Naomi answered.
Franz then placed the jar back on the top right corner of the wrap around countertop. Naomi then took the seat to the bottom right of the table.
"So, how have your adventures been?" Franz asked.
Naomi gasped.
"Did you guys check on the Factory yet!?" Naomi hoped.
Jeremy entered the room before shaking his head.
"Not yet, in all of the chaos we completely forgot." Jeremy answered.
"If you want, I'll go check the Factory for you." Naomi offered.
Franz stood up.
"I suppose visiting the Factory again won't do any harm." Franz theorized before walking out the door with Naomi.
"So, your not Xana, are you?" Naomi asked curiously while looking up at Fran who was to the left of her.
"Of course not dear. Also, I was wondering, would it be okay if I sent you to Lyoko for a bit?" Franz spoke.
"Sure, but, what for?" Naomi replied.
"Jeremy told me about your Lyoko form and it fascinated me. I was also made aware about your several other Septima's. So I would like to see how they work. With your permission of course." Franz explained.
Naomi nodded.
"Excellent, last time I saw you had five Septima's." Franz remembered.
