"I've met some pretty messed up people, but this fella here takes the bug spray. Dang it, this is practically impossible ta do without gettin bit up! Wait, where does Stratos go when the flies appear?" Naomi mumbled.
"He IS the flies, his Septima allows him to turn the molecules in his bod into flies and vice versa." Moniqa stated.
Gunvolt and Naomi flashed the flies in the hopes of injuring Stratos just like a bug zapper.
"That's it, this is takin' way too long," Naomi complained as she unsheathed her sword. "The overflowing power of justice shall erase all evil from the Earth, its strength will save humanity, so long as courage is present, to end this sinister scourge. Septimal Striker!"
Naomi was able to combine all of her Septimas into a massive sword attack with her QUILL issued sword. The flies instantly decintigrated after making contact with the heat.
"We took out Stratos too." Naomi notified.
"Great job you two, you can come back now and write your reports." Moniqa responded.
Naomi teleported herself and Gunvolt to the 8th floor.
"We're gonna have a lot of work ta do. Maybe we can write the reports later?" Naomi yawned.
"It's best to write about it while it's still new in your mind." Asimov advised.
So, Naomi and Gunvolt began writing their reports at 4:45 and stopped at 8:00.
'I'm goin back ta sleep." Naomi stated before she teleported home and went back to sleep. She woke up at 11 in the morning.
"Drat, looks like I'd better get ta work." Naomi sighed as she went back to QUILL HQ.
"Ay man, it looks like somethin's been eatin' at ya." Zeno commented.
"Thanks for noticing." Naomi grumbled.
"Didn't ya evade your bloodwork? How'd that go?" Zeno queried.
"Perfect, worked like a charm." Naomi grinned.
Since she didn't have anymore paperwork to do and Moniqa agreed to call her, Naomi decided o go home and tell the Lyoko warriors what happened.
"Hey Einstein, whadda ya know 'bout flesh eatin' flies?" Naomi questioned.
"I don' think there are any species of them. Why, did you find one?" Jeremy stated.
"I found a person who's body can turn inta flesh eatin' flies." Naomi answered.
"You eliminate Stratos?" Jeremy theorized.
"Hopefully it's for good this time." Naomi muttered.
"I assume you went to the Pharma Lab then" Jeremy noticed.
"At three in the frickin' mornin'." Naomi growled.
"That sounds really early for a mission. We've never had missions that early. The earliest we've had was five in the morning." Jeremy commented.
"Poor Zeno, he had ta fight Zonda in the middle a the night. We all had our fair share a ealy jobs." Naomi added.
"What's the latest you ever stayed up?" Jeremy wondered.
"I can't even remember." Naomi replied.
"It's hard for us to tell if odd ever sleeps." Jeremy joked.
"Lola sleeps in her charger. She runs on solar power." Naomi grinned.
"there's no way!" Jeremy gasped.
"So, how's pinky doin'?" Naomi queried.
Jeremy blushed at the mention of Naomi's nickname for Aelita.
"She's doing good. did you check your email? I think Yumi sent you one." Jeremy notified.
"I'll check it no- uh, she' think's she's funny huh? Sending me an email posing as Nova sayin' they found out 'bout the hack. Ha! Joke's on Yumi! Moniqa deleted that search!" Naomi laughed.
"If you come to the school and open the email on my laptop, I can trace it to the source." Jeremy offered.
"Thanks, but if that really is from Nova then I gotta tell the boss, who's gonna try an kill me prolly. I'll see ya later though, just gotta sleep. See ya." Naomi denied as she turned off the call and went to bed.
She woke up at 8:45, upset at only getting 5 and 3/4 an hour rest. Naomi ate an omlette with yellow onions, shitake mushrooms, mince garlic, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes black olives and diced ham, with a glass of lemonade to wash it down. She changed into her work uniform and teleported to ttalk with Xiao about his comics.
"Wait a second, that sounds like something in one of my comics. To get rid of an evil ghost tormenting a nation, the hero has to get a crystal that can capture the ghost." Xiao commented.
"Is that crystal real by any chance? Cause if so I'll take a million." Naomi remarked.
That's when Naomi remembered two very important things she said she'd do.
"Aw fudge! I told Quinn I'd stay at her place and get a charm ta ward off evil spirits." Naomi remembered.
"I'm pretty sure you'll have time to call her now and reschedule." Xiao assured.
Naomi nodded as she dialed Quinn's number.
"I'm so sorry Quinn!" Naomi apologized.
"Huh? I don't understand, what are you sorry for?" Quinn wondered.
"Last night I was just too exhausted ta go anywhere. GV an I had ta go to the Pharma Lab at three in the mornin'." Naomi explained.
"So that's why you didn't come over yesterday. I bought you a charm for your room. they had blessed crosses. What's say you help me with the puzzle? And we can cook dinner together. I also wanted to try a new cookie recipe." Quinn smiled.
"As long as you don't boil spaghetti noodles in arsenic or put crushed up anti-depressant pills in the cookies because trust me, I will know." Naomi promised.
"You know a lot about poisoning attempts." Quinn guessed.
"Uh, not really. I heard the US loved using arsenic to assassinate high class political figu- wait, wait, wait a second hold on I forgot to tell you this and it's really funny. somebody posed as Nova so they could send me an email saying they knew about my hacking the Sumeragi's website." Naomi cackled.
"What does it mean if they fin dout it was you? Other than they find out you're alive?" Quinn pondered.
"They can trace the hack and locate the source. Meaning they can track my watch along with Lola since they're constantly near me." naomi elucidated.
"What'll happen if they succeed in tracking you down?" Quinn worried.
"They capture me and force me to work for them again." Naomi answered.
Naomi could hear an audible 'eep' come from Quinn's end of the line.
"No worries that won't be happenin' anytime soon." Naomi assured.
"Well, I'm looking forward to seing you tonight. Good luck with your work." Quinn beamed as she ended the call.
