"Someone told me I needed to come home since it was recently discovered I've got a volatile fourteenth Septima that needs ta be sealed ASAP. On ma way back, a Sumeragi soldier came up behind me with a laser gun. I heard a thud when he said "this is for your betrayl of the Sumeragi you scum" and when I turned around, boy was it a sight ta see. The guy was cut vertically clean in two in a pool of his own blood.
I didn't even think bout killin him or pulled out ma weapon. Speakin a said weapon is gonna be turned inta a Glaive regardless a what I want an the fact that it's ma weapon! I wanted ta call an see if ya wanted me ta snatch it up an make sure that doesn't happen. I'ts supposed ta be ta seal that volatile Septima that killed the Sumeragi soldier." Naomi informed.
"It's fine as long as it's not a Sumeragi employee that's going to be modifying it." Asimov confirmed.
"Um, any specifications on that Sumeragi modification?" Naomi wondered.
"They can't be working for the Sumeragi at present." Asimov verified.
"Gotcha, sorry for the trouble boss. I'll be back first thing tomorrow mornin." Naomi smiled before ending the call.
Naomi went down to the basement, said "Asimov said it's cool" and went to her room. Dinner between the 3 siblings was unusually quiet.
Why is he still worried bout ma Septimas!? So what if a bunch are outta control!? He's got other things he can worry bout! Might as well go back ta workin for the Sumeragi since usin a Glaive from what I heard is bout as annoyin as sis or Lola askin watcha doin constantly. Ya gotta tell em where ya use it, when ya use it, how ya use it, why ya use it an prolly who's usin it too! Wait, am I gonna have ta ask 'fore I use it? Ugh, as if I didn't have enough ta worry bout. Naomi mentally droned.
"Is carbonara really full of carbs?" Mytyl queried.
"All pastas are, I have no idea why they call it that though." Naomi answered.
"I was wondering about your swordgetting turned into a Glaive. Isn't there some lengthy process you have to go through for it?" Copen questioned.
"I dunno, go ask dad, he's the one modifyin it." Naomi responded as she guzzled her water.
"So, isn't it just like working for the Sumeragi again? Didn't you already have a Glaive?" Copen questioned.
Naomi choked on the last sip. After blinking the tears that were a side effect of choking away, Naomi knelt above Mytyl and covered her sisters ears with her hands while glaring at Copen.
"I'd ask what's wrong with you but then we'd be here forever. Also, how the flippin heck do ya know 'bout me workin' for 'em!?" Naomi fumed.
Copen looked away and shrugged his shoulders. Naomi stretched her legs around Mytyl so the youngr girl was in her lap. She hugged Mytyl around her lower ribs as if hugging a stuffed animal.
Ya went through ma work file 'gain didn't ya?" Naomi noted.
Copen nodded.
"Yup, boss made background info files for everyone. The people the files are 'bout can update 'em. I put that update on April first so he'd think it was a joke." Naomi confirmed.
"You worked for the Sumeragi?" Mytyl wondered while looking up at Naomi.
Naomi looked at Copen with an angered expression as she rested her chin on Mytyl's head.
"Time for bed you three." Nori announced.
Copen went to his room while Nori put Mytyl to bed. Forgetting the girl could walk, Nori lifted Mytyl into her bed. Mytyl liked it though so she never said anything. After getting into her pajamas and laying down, Naomi fell asleep in five minutes.
If Naomi knew what'd happen when she fell asleep, she wouldn't have done it. There was an extra room in the sanatorium for quick emergency operations like the ones Mytyl had. Mr. Yamato, Dr. Kamizono's old assistant from when he worked at S-FIT was going to be assisting him with Naomi's surgery. Nori took the sleeping Naomi from her bed and placed her on the table.
She was chained just like how Asimov was. A chain around her neck, one for each elbow, wrist, knee and ankle as well. To make sure she wouldn't wake up during the procedure, Naomi was anesthetized. The goal was to seal her rupturing Septima. However, it was believed sealing all of her Septimas would be ideal to prevent anymore incidents like the one that afternoon. So, all of Naomi's Septimas were sealed, including her Azure Striker. Immediately after her Azure Striker was sealed, the amount of beeps on the heartrate monitor got lower and stayed steady.
"Yamato, get the defibrillator now. Heartrate's dropped." Dr. Kamizono ordered.
He got the defibrillator and handed it to his superior. After being shocked, Naomi's heartrate was high and stayed that way.
"It must have something to do with her Rebirth and Azure Striker Septimas. I'll have to unseal those. No, Ill unseal all of them except for the rupturing Septima. She can use the Glaive to restrain the Septima. While training with the Septima it can be released from the Glaive. She'll just have to live with that until she can get the ability under control." Dr. Kamizono muttered to himself.
The operation ended at 4:45 in the morning. All that was needed was access to Naomi's left axillary vein. A stint was placed in it with tech that would allow her to use the Glaive better and so the Sumeragi couldn't make her work for them again via the Glaive. Nori placed Naomi back in her bed after the latter was given stitches and some of the long white bandage material she previously purchased was placed (8 inches worth of it) 3 inches above her elbow.
Luckily the tracking device under her collarbone wasn't adjusted or the reaction she had in the morning would've been far worse than it was. Upon stretching, Naomi felt an incredibly sharp pain in her left arm. Holding it as she stopped yawning and began to grit her teeth, Naomi felt the bandage material and stared at her arm. Naomi thought she was having a bad nightmare.
However, upon further inspection she realized it was a bad morning rather than a bad dream. Naomi's priorities at that moment were to take a shower, change and find Nori. When Naomi was finished with her morning agenda, she found Nori, she was talking to Dr. Kamizono.
"It looks like she isn't too happy about the adjustments made to her arm." Nori stated.
"If anyone wants to know how I slept, this is the answer." Naomi huffed while flexing her left arm and pointing to the bandages with her right index finger.
"Mutilating Naomi and sealing all of her Septimas wasn't part of the plan!" Lola hollered.
"The seal was removed on all of them except her rupturing Septima. I placed a seal on all of them at first believing it would give her a better life and that she could hide amongst humans. But after sealing her Azure Striker and Rebirth Septimas her heartrate changed and I realized a normal for her wouldn't be possible. Since all of her other Septimas are well controlled I removed the seals on them. You can use the Septima when the seal on the Glaive is removed which your Radiant Fetters should be capable of. Until you can completely master it, it has to be sealed. Especially when it's not in use." Dr. Kamizono informed.
"Basically Adept training wheels. I need to figure this out through experience." Naomi protested.
Naomi stormed back upstairs and slams the door behind her as Nori states she left Naomi's breakfast in her room. After eating her toast sandwich with grape jam and butter with the glass of milk, Naomi picked up her clothes from the day before since Nori washed and laid them out for her. After picking them up, Naomi put on her new clothes for the day. Using a purple long sleeve shirt with a thumb hole on the sleeves, blue jeans and blue below the knee zip up boots with dangling purple star earrings, Naomi was ready to start her day.
