"They used a forced teleport from her watch program and shut it down. The elevator will be locked until Naomi personally requests it to be unlocked so she can get back there. But you'll have to be careful. As soon as you unlock the elevator, it'll only be a matter of time before they notice something's up." Xana warned.
"Then we'd better make it quick." Ulrich advised.
The group went to the control panel by following Xana's instructions.
"Uh, can somebody walk us through this mess? There's all sorts of buttons and levers here." Odd mused.
"Press the red button in the first row and pull the bottom lever all the way down." Xana instructed.
Odd pushed the button while Ulrich pulled the lever. the sound of creaking gears could be heard eerily groaning throughout the facility.
"We'd better get going." Yumi suggested.
"Good idea, let's go." Aelita agreed as Jeremy teleported them back.
After exiting the scanner, Odd leaned against the center scanner with his left elbow.
"I feel awful." Yumi sighed.
"Me too, my stomach still hurts." Odd groaned.
"No, I mean I feel bad about Naomi and her coworkers. I hope they were able to get to the elevator without any trouble. I still wonder where that gun came from. Wait, that teacher who was supposed to replace Ms. Hertz, he had the exact same gun. But, how did Copen manage to get ahold of it?" Jeremy pondered.
"You seriously haven't made that connection yet? Have you seen Naomi's hair and left eye color?" Xana snarled.
"Huh? I don't understand." Jeremy doubted.
It took some time for what Xana said to finally start kicking in.
"Wait a second, Naomi and Copen have the same eye color. They aren't related by any chance are they?" Jeremy noticed.
"You finally see it." Xana muttered.
"How old are they?" Yumi wondered.
"They celebrated their fifteenth birthday, you were all there." Xana reminded.
"Oh yeah, that cake was really good. I didn't think red velvet and cherry cream cheese would go so well together." Odd remembered.
"Wait, the substitute teacher was there. But, hold on a minute. Xana you're definitely onto something. Naomi and Copen look the same hair and eye color wise and Copen looks pretty much exactly like the teacher." Jeremy noted.
"But how are they related?" Yumi asked.
"Naomi is Copen's older sister and Dr. Kamizono is their father." Xana explained.
"He's alive again? How?" Yumi pondered.
"Is something wrong Yumi?" Jeremy queried.
"My dad was telling me about when he used to work at S-FIT and he mentioned that guy was their top employee." Yumi reminisced.
"He invented research techniques such as the one for Septima probability factors." Xana stated.
"You have to calculate that?" Odd asked.
"Yes Odd, you do have to calculate it." Xana moaned.
"And how do you know that?" Odd interrogated.
Because this is the third time I tell you I was one of their test subjects." Xana huffed.
"Oh yeah, I completely forgot in all of the chaos." Odd giggled nervously.
"Do you think we could get in contact with somebody from QUILL?" Ulrich theorized.
"I'll hack into their servers tomorrow. You all might want to be in the room. Since it seems you still don't trust me." Xana denied.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to sleep." Odd yawned as he stretched his arms above his head and walked out.
"I'd better get going before he changes his mind and decides to play Space Invaders." Ulrich commented.
"Goodnight Jeremy. Pleasant dreams." Aelita smiled.
"See you tomorrow Einstein." Yumi waved.
Jeremy soon left with the gang. When they got back to campus, they were jumped by Jim who was holding a flashlight.
"Aha! So it seems Dunbar was right. Now, right to bed the lot of you! Tomorrow I expect to see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed in the principals office!" Jim spoke.
The boys groaned as they walked to their dorms. The next morning was rough for the Lyoko warriors, especially the boys. Meanwhile, Naomi woke up at midnight at S-FIT. She was surprised to see different surroundings from when she was previously awake.
This made Naomi wide eyed and alert instantly, believing herself to be transported into enemy territory at the time her guard was most down. She stretched and yawned but recoiled as a flaming pain radiated from where she was shot. Inspecting the area for the pains source. That's when Naomi found it: there was bandages around her lower abdomen and the pain was coming from her left.
She saw them from the slightly lifted part of her black undershirt. There was a hole torn in the shirt and the undershirt, definitely prominent in the undershirt. The shirts were stiff near where she was shot because of the blood the two fabrics absorbed. Naomi noticed a table to her right with the other shirt and matching accessories she planned on wearing for the now gone sideways mission.
She traded out the top and undershirt for a new shirt and choker. She was by herself and decided to take a walk. Wandering through the hall, she saw two men in lab coats pass by her going in the opposite direction.
"Um, this, is, what? Wait, isn't this, S-FIT? B-but I don't understand, what am I even doing here?" Naomi rambled.
She continued walking down the hall. She walked through the double doors that lead to the left side of the floor. She finally saw two familiar faces near the third door on the right side of the hall. Dr. Kamizono and Mr. Yamato were talkin. Naomi didn't know if she wanted to talk to them. But was afraid of them knowing she was there.
'But if he didn't know I was here then I wouldn't have gotten this change of clothes. Oh well, I guess I'd better go ahead and reveal myself.' Naomi supposed as she looked up and walked over to them.
