"I see, so that's why you were at Firmament. To the Biochemical Plant and the Datastore." Nova noticed.

He asked Mr. Delmas to borrow his computer to show him the camera film that caught the Lyoko team red handed in Japan.

"And what time exactly did you obtain this footage?" Mr. Delmas questioned.

"It was received around approximately five forty five in the afternoon." Nova explained.

"But how were you all in Japan? Surely you couldn't have gotten on a boat, had an adult drive you or use any other means of transport to get there immeadiately after your classes ended." Mr. Delmas interrogated.

"There's a factory not too far from here. It holds a supercomputer containing a virtual world called Lyoko. They use it to teleport to anywhere in the world. The system is overseen by Jeremy Belpois with the assistance of Aelita Schaeffer. Cameras in the lab in Syberia, another in Switzerland along with the Amazon Jungle have detected and recorded their presence. Their most recent of those small time trespassings was a brand new international space satellite orbiting four hundred kilometers above the Earth." Nova elaborated.

Not only was the group frozen in place, but was fearful of Nova knowing where they had been.

"Is this true Jeremy?" Mr. Delmas wondered.

That's when a white dome washed over them. It was six fifteen the prior morning.

"That was a close one. But how do we prevent Nova from getting the evidence?" Yumi panicked.

"We hack the Sumeragi's system. When we do we'll remove the footage, we'd better start now." Jeremy guessed.

"Wait, if we do they can get the film again from the same source. We should put up a firewall to prevent him from accessing the website to begin with." Aelita advised.

Jeremy agreed and the two set to work. When their first class rolled around, Jeremy and Aelita put the firewall on Nova's device. It was a really relaxing day, until they all remembered about Naomi's current suffering. At lunch, they talked about video games, virtual reality, Kiwi, Odd's tamagotchi and more. Dinner finally rolled around and the group was exhausted. After eating, they all went directly to bed. The next morning, nobody wanted to get out of bed.

"Do you think it worked?" Aelita hoped.

"Well, the only thing left to do is wait." Jeremy commented.

Unfortunately, the same thing happened. Although it still occurred, it just went down at a later time. It was around lunch when they got called to the principals office. This time Nova had Merak retreive the data. They decided to initiate another return to the past. This time, they would put the firewall across the Sumeragi Seven's devices as well. That's when they discovered two days later that a backup of the data was kept on a USB in case of emergency. None of the group members could process what happened.

"Maybe we should tell Asimov what's going on. Maybe he could help us." Yumi supposed.

"Eve if we managed to get my laptop and contact them I doubt they'll be able to help." Jeremy denied.

"You know, if you all agree to work for me, I'll reach out to all of the facility owners and tell them you were going around inspecting the facilities and tell them not to press charges." Nova offered.

The group denied his proposition.

"Very well then. I suppose now that you'll have no choice but to suffer the consequences of your actions." Nova stated.

"Can we take a moment to decide our options please?" Aelita pled.

Mr. Delmas nodded.

"You have five minutes." Mr. Delmas confirmed.

Aelita called the only person she knew could help in the hopes of clearing up the situation.

"Daddy, we're in trouble. Nova's here, he showed Mr. Delmas footage of us destroying Xana's supercomputers." Aelita squeaked.

"I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Just hold on until then." Franz answered before ending the call.

"Someone's on their way to explain but it'll take them at least fifteen minutes to get here." Aelita informed.

"Well then we'll wait until they arrive." Mr. Delmas informed.

When Franz did arrive, everyone in the room was plunged into insanity.

"What? But I don't understand, Franz, is that you? After all these years you haven't aged a bit! I'm still confused what involvement do you have with their sneaking off?" Mr. Delmas pondered.

So, Franz went on to explain his assistance for the Sumeragi in building their supercomputer. The principal was so shocked that he had to sit down. Aelita texted Naomi.

Remember how my dad built that robot and they said they were going to fire him? Maybe you could do a prank like that on the Sumeragi.

Naomi messaged her back.

I didn't think about that. I'll do it, thanks.

Do you know why Nova's not there?

I didn't even know he was gone. Wait, how do you know he's not here?

He's here at Kadic in the principals ofice. Apparently he found access to the footage of us exploring those facilities. He tried asking us if we'd want to join the Sumeragi in their efforts to preserve peace. Of all the things we could think of to do, it was a return trip. But no matter what we did, it was no use. Nova always gained access to the data in every single situation.

Naomi got an idea in that very moment. One she knew could get herself in severe trouble. But hey, that was the idea.

I'll teleport to you ASAP.

After turning off her phone, Naomi used her Azure Striker Septima to hack the block on her teleportation. When she teleported, Naomi made sure to arrive outside of the door and walk in. She decided to stand on the left of Nova so he would notice her and become hindered.
