The Zetta Sonic
Hidden Rooms

What happened was predictable Alex. Doctor Vanessa and herself down a long hallway that continues on some sort of proboscis. These proboscis protrude from the submarine they boarded to the SM-204 submarine. He was being transferred from one submarine to another.

The sight reminded Alex of the trunk commonly worn at airports. The walls are made entirely of glass. The shape of the cylinder is like a giant straw. There were boards that stretched out at the bottom, making them unnecessarily difficult to walk on the curved floor.

Occasionally a wave of water hit, making it slightly shake. Besides, the journey feels smooth. Water pressure does not make the tunnel run.

Fergus walked in the back. After confirming that doctors Vanessa and Zetta Sonic had boarded a small submarine, he stepped back. Emil closed the door of the SM-204, closing the tunnel path. Shortly after, the tunnel was detached, pulling itself back to a larger submarine.

Alex only realized that the submarine he was riding was much larger than all the submarines there. It can be twice as large as the SM-204. His body is stretched like a bullet. The color is jet black with bright green line decoration and ICPA emblem.

“At least they don't paint it white.” Alex's thoughts turned into verbal comments.

“Jayden says it once,” says doctor Vanessa.

Alex glanced out the window. While walking towards the cockpit, he counted how many submarines there were. There are at least four submarines of the SM-204 type besides them and two other medium-sized submarines.

“You haven't seen everything,” added Emil.

Emil guides them back to the cockpit where Tiger has been waiting. After they all entered, he re-run his submarine. At least, Tiger moved the ship comfortably, instead of speeding as he used to do on the highway.

“You look messy,” Tiger said to Alex. He chuckles, laughing at Alex's silly appearance. The combat uniform was still attached to his body, except for the hands. It was as if someone had ripped that part of the hand off of him. “Your hand seems cold. Need I lend you gloves?”

“Come, Tiger. My hand saved all of us,” Alex replied. He was happy to get a welcome from Tiger even though it was just a joke. Alex finds himself accepting it as a substitute for a warm hug.

Emil returned to his position. Meanwhile, Alex returned to his seat before exiting earlier. Doctor Vanessa was sitting in another empty spot, where it was also facing off on a row of control panels. The place can be left empty, can also be run automatically by the pilot. In this case, Tiger.

“So, I owe you my life?” Tiger took the time to turn to Alex.

“Tract me for lunch. I consider breakeven.”

“Agreed, boy!”

Alex turned to Emil. The young man was busy with his own panel. He's checking something. It must have something to do with the transmission coming in there. Alex wanted to ask if Jayden was inside. However, she undoes her intentions for fear of Emil's answer.

The submarine moved slowly and quietly. Tiger carried their ship running without any obstacles. This ship went into a dark passage. The light from the edges doesn't help. Especially after the existence of such a large dinosaur monster. Part of the wall was destroyed. Cable and hose broke dangling, some light bulbs broke, ribs peyok, and floating debris. One part of the Zetta Sonic robot they just passed.

The hallway narrowed a little. The light comes from the surface. Tiger also brought their submarine moving upwards. There, they found a spacious room with gray walls and high ceilings. There is a green line stretching in the middle as an accent. The design instantly reminded Alex of his own headquarters.

First time comment came out of Emil. “They are really imitating. Similar to ICPA headquarters. For what?”

Tiger came out first while carrying a rifle. Emil followed behind her. He took Jason with him. Alex last. While they were checking, Vanessa's doctor was on guard inside the ship in case things went out of plan.

“For what?” Emil repeated his question.

“I just... know.” Alex couldn't explain well. Maybe it was his sixth instinct or sense. As long as he can't explain, Alex won't continue. He moved first. Leading among the three.

Emil spoke again. “I detected nil. There's no one. At all. Besides us. It's freaky. The transmission is from here. And, it's not an automatic transmission. The manual transmission.”

“Check the surveillance camera,” Alex pinta.

“Busted. It's turned off. Inaccessible.”

Alex expected it. They tampered with it out of fear that Emil would track where the tape was crossing cyberspace. If he can find the trail, Emil can tell where the kidnapper is.

In front of them stretched a long hallway. The hallway is so similar to the hallway of ICPA headquarters. White color, bright light beam, green line, street pointer, all so similar. At the end of the hall, there was a door on the left side. The door was left open. Whoever left him did it intentionally.

“Someone just left here.”

Alex stood at the door. He recognized the room. It was the room where Jayden was. More precisely, footage of Jayden and Camilla's conversation was taken in the room. The furniture was left the same, except for one. The computer across the bed was still on, even flashing red. There's video footage there. Alex turned it around.

[Hello, Zetta Sonic. I'm Roban.]

An old man appeared there. The sound of the video immediately grabbed the attention of Emil and Tiger. The three gathered there. Alex thinks Roban called him a while ago.

[Congratulations! If you look at this tape, it means you have defeated Koolasuchus. It's really amazing.]

Alex ignored the video. He's not interested in listening to it. Emil, on the other hand, shot the video using Jason's abilities. Tiger also took it well. Alex fed up. He knew Jayden wasn't there.

Alex went along every edge of the room, trying to find clues. He also tried to sit on the bed where Camilla was sitting. His mind imagined how Camilla and Jayden would talk about the topic. His eyes caught a glint from a distance. The flashing glint of lights from other cameras mounted on the ceiling. That must be the camera Camilla used to record them.

Encouraged by curiosity, Alex approached him. The camera is mounted under the smoke detector. There's some kind of hook there. Whatever was covering it was open. Alex saw plastic popping in there. He jumped high enough to get it. Grey opaque plastic with short writing.
