Still in the same room, Jayden had already changed clothes. He was wearing a thick black coat and gloves. He sat on the bed with his hands shackled. His eyes were fixed on the screen which was quite a distance away. There, he could see the ICPA submarine in front of the underwater door he opened.
“Truly impressive work.” Roban's voice and face appeared from another screen. “I know you can help me.”
“You won't get away with this!” Jayden replied in a rage.
“Try we remember again. You hacked the Debura system. You shut down the power and damaged the missile's security network. If you get caught, you won't get away with all this.” Roban chuckled in a horrible, rude voice.
“You forced me to do it!”
“And, I've released the hostages. A fair exchange. Those people must be happy to be able to come home from Debura. Who would have thought that their waterfront was inhabited by Koolasuchus. This one, really a masterpiece from your scientist.”
“You are as crazy as Otto!” Jayden grunted in annoyance.
The video that Camellia had shown to her a while ago was indeed horrifying. He saw a group of people in the sea. They were in some sort of giant glass box in iron bars. This box has a chain that seems to be connected to the surface. A giant monster moved around. Occasionally the monster tried to hit, biting the box but was troubled by the rigors of the iron bars. Jayden knew it was only a matter of time until the monster could destroy everything.
Funny thing is, he found the writing on the video. Quite a large instruction list. This post is transparent and overlays the entire video. At that time, Jayden was quite confused by what happened. However, he chose to follow the instructions in the video. Sending a video recording while he was talking to Camilla. Somehow the video can be stored on his computer. Unfortunately, the video only records soundless images.
The first time he saw Camilla, Jayden got the feeling that the girl was going to help him. He was quite happy because it was right. Nevertheless, part of his heart held back to be relieved. As long as he hasn't left the place, Jayden won't be able to feel relieved.
Roban reviews the smile, making other lines on his wrinkled face. “Me and Otto. We have the same interest.”
“Mastered the world?”
“Not. Zetta Sonic.”
Jayden really suspected that. “Let me set the record straight. The missile is not to destroy the world. But, to destroy Zetta Sonic, ‘kan?” There was great regret as well as sadness buried in Jayden's wrath. He made a fatal mistake that got his sister killed. This time, he helps the villain to defeat Zetta Sonic.
Roban. “I did this for Zetta Sonic. Thas right. But, it is not to destroy it.”
“I thought it was just a matter of time.” Jayden gave his satire.
“No. You don't understand. I don't want to destroy Zetta Sonic. I want him to reach his maximum capacity. Using the entire power of Dragon Blood. Become mankind's greatest biological weapon—”
“Zetta Sonic is not a biological weapon!” Jayden screaming. When he stood up, the two guards in the room turned their heads. Even so, both of them were unmoved on the spot. They know that Jayden can't do anything. Not handcuffed and Roban on the screen.
“Jayden, oh Jayden. Where is the difference?” Roban chuckles again.
Jayden did not answer.
Somehow Jayden is not surprised anymore if his opponent knows the identity behind Zetta Sonic. Given that his opponent could even kidnap him while with Alex, Jayden was convinced that Mr. X has connections with insiders.
Roban continued while Jayden was silent. “Now they have no choice but to force Zetta Sonic off the submarine. Otherwise, I will send all those missiles to destroy his ship. He can come out on his own or with a little coercion. You know, I always get what I want.”
Jayden sneering. “By the way, you must already know how many cases we have solved. The majority of the criminals we're dealing with have only two goals. One, money. Two, power. Mastering the world is a combination of both. I assure you, you'll be joining them soon, Mr. X.”
“Mr. X'S? My name is Roban,” replied the old man.
Jayden shook his head. “I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the mastermind behind you. I don't know anyone he.”
Roban chuckles again. “You don't know who you're dealing with, eh?”
“I know. Crazy people.”
“This madman managed to get you here, Jayden. This madman also managed to corner Zetta Sonic.”
Jayden looked up at what was happening on the screen. He could see the huge monster crashing into the Zetta Sonic. Fortunately Sonic managed to dodge with a push from the leg. Jayden gulps. He knows it's just a robot. His rudimentary robot. Emil forced him into action in the sea against a huge monster.
Roban, on the other hand, doesn't understand that. “See how lousy he fights. That Koolasuchus would destroy him if he did not immediately use the power of Dragon Blood properly. I pity the ICPA should be stuck with this brat.”
Jayden chose not to answer. The spectacle made itself glued. The monster lunged repeatedly but Zetta Sonic only dodged and dodged. Of course, the robot was not equipped with a weapon. Meaning, not yet. The robot could have carried a laser gun. However, Jayden has not asked Nadira for his permission. Getting the robot to face a giant underwater monster is like throwing a can on a car wrecker.
“That's embarrassing. He just ran and ran.” Roban himself is getting bored. “Oh, check that out. His friends started leaving him.”
Another video appeared. This video is a quarter of the screen and is in the bottom corner. For Jayden, the video caught his attention more than the robot and the monster fight. He can guess what happened. Alex, the real Zetta Sonic, is still on board. Right now, they were trying to escape by distracting.
Actually, it worked. Roban doesn't yet understand that his monsters are fighting robots. Damn, it's a matter of time. The robot could not last longer. The giant monster's tail managed to hit its legs. The robot lost half the thrusters. Finally, he could no longer dodge when there was a lunge. The monster opened its mouth wide, crushing the robot with its sharp teeth.
“That's free?” Robbie asked. Then, his curiosity vanished replaced by rage. “Wait! It was just a trick. It's robot!”
In the video, the robot's legs appear to float in water. There was no blood, only the wires were cut unevenly.
“Alright,” said Roban again, “maybe I was too soft on him. You too. Kids, it's time to take our master Jayden away.”
At once, Jayden found the two guards coming to him. He saw one of them raising his long rifle. But not to shoot. The rifle stalk met him with pain in his head or neck. He could not tell the difference anymore when his world revolved until it was replaced by darkness.
