The Zetta Sonic
Undetected

Stealth Aircraft used to eat a lot of souls. Undetectable by radar allowed him to be a deadly assassin. Especially when coupled with remote control and a large number of weapons. The ICPA has several similar aircraft and an antidote system. They developed a radar that could detect these kinds of aircraft.

This is the first time Jayden has ever boarded a stealth aircraft. Jayden knew he'd be asked to do something. More precisely, Jayden knew he was going to get a computer in a minute. It was not impossible if he was taken flying to an area and asked to find a target there. There are many things hidden in the field. Snowfields like this are one of them.

Out of your head, Jayden can name exactly the number of ICPA facilities around there. A research lab, a weapons bunker, and a private mine belonging to the ICPA. Not just anyone can know what's in there. However, according to Jayden, Roban is not even interested in anything that is under their current plane. Roban just wants one. Sonic Zetta.

Jayden had to admit to being surprised when he went inside. The aircraft is not a real stealth aircraft. They sacrificed gun parts to make the passenger cabin larger than the original. The pilot sat back in one corner of the room. Behind him, there were rows of benches facing each other. There, again, were two men armed with long barrels.

No one's talking. Jayden was just guessing what he needed to do. He sat down and picked up a tablet PC that was lying around. Certainly not just anything that was placed there.

That thing glittered in front of Jayden. Roban's face appeared with the exact same situation as before. Always same. It was as if he had never changed clothes or left the room. This makes Jayden even more convinced that he's just a real puppeteer, Mr. X.

“Now, what?” ask Jayden first.

“You can't wait for the next mission?” Roban chuckles. “Next, I just want to show you a video.”

At that time, Roban's face vanished replaced by an automatic video played. Jayden obviously didn't like the video he saw. A mess. The mirror has a large upper body part that does not seem to match the lower body. His clothes were too tight. He moved, jumped, hit like a great ape. All the destruction he did was with his bare hands.

Jayden was about to call him a monster until he recognized the figure. Damons. As Jayden recalls, Damon should still be in prison. He should not be that body either. His figure is very abnormal.

Shortly after, he sees Alex fighting Damon. There is no real winner in this fight. Alex doesn't catch Damon. Damon also did not manage to injure his opponent. Finally, the video ends with Damon's escape by getting into a black car.

Roban appears to replace the video. “Interesting, right?”

Jayden was tempted to respond. “You made a monster.”

Roban chuckles again. “Not me. You guys made it yourself.”

From that statement, Jayden realized. The real culprit who made Damon like that was none other than professor Otto. Researchers who should be on their side seem more interested in developing their research. How ironic. Fighting crime by committing crime.

Jayden hid his thoughts. “We don't make monsters, we make robots. What is robot?”

“Jayden, oh Jayden. How hard is it to make you admit that you recognize that figure? It was Damon with a little different twist. You know what I mean, don't you? Dragon Blood has flowed within it.”

“I know you believe.”

Jayden swore in his heart. Roban knows what he's thinking. Nope. Errata. Not Roban, but Mr. X is behind all the kidnappings. “Why are you showing this to me? Want to prove that Zetta Sonic is great?”

“Just the contrary. You yourself must be conscious. She could be a better Zetta Sonic.”

“What?” Jayden frowning. He's pretty sure Roban's not talking about Damon. He's talking about someone else. There are others who could be better Zetta Sonic than Alex. As the name flashed across his head, Jayden gulped. Horror reached his back. Alex and the rest of the Special Force are in deep trouble if they don't find out about the enemy right away.

“There will be more Zetta Sonic—”

“To catch you all,” says Jayden.

“We are undetectable, Jayden. The ICPA will not be able to guess who we are let alone catch us. The larger a group, the greater the number of gaps.”

Jayden won't admit that he agrees. It was also one of Nadira's thoughts when creating the Special Force. As much as possible, he wanted a small amount. From the beginning, they did plan on having some Zetta Sonic. Each Zetta Sonic will have its own group. Small group. Limited amount. Solid, easier to move and also easier to monitor.

Jayden refused to give in to fear. He's still in abduction. He still can't send messages to the ICPA. He still can't escape. But that doesn't mean the ICPA can't come to him.

“They will find you and snatch you all up,” Jayden said. He glanced one by one at the people nearby.

Roban, once again, chuckles. “Without technology, you are no different than a child, Jayden.”

“Really?” Jayden throws a knotty smile. “You think you know who you're dealing with. But, really?”

Jayden's remarks somehow managed to make Roban tremble. Although he did not really reveal it, a smile vanished from his face. “Alright, it seems like enough here just our talk. You can go back to rest until I give you a new task.”

“I don't accept assignments from anyone.”

Roban ignores Jayden's remarks and the communication relationship is severed there. Jayden was escorted back to his ship which was still airborne close.

The sky is still dark. Soon, the dawn will come. Along with that, Alex and the Special Force will come to him.
