The Zetta Sonic
Bad Help

Alex couldn't believe the news. So did doctor Vanessa. The doctor had just removed the bandage in Alex's hand but that did not mean that the child was ready to be deployed in the field. It all started when the ICPA got a shocking video.

As usual, the video came from a surveillance camera. There, a puppy was seen at the end of a narrow alley. In front of him, an iron-handed man splashed a jerrycan of water on him. The puppy didn't have much of a chance to run. He could only flounder and finally flinch with numerous blistering wounds all over his body.

Rando has moved. This time he was doing his job testing the liquid he had secured in a suitcase. That's the strongest guess at the moment. Just wait until they actually send a ransom demand so as not to mix it into the dam water.

The appearance of the video makes Fergus angry. He was anxious and alert at the same time. Whether she's with Nadira's permission or not, she's talking to Emil. Special Force members were gathered in one room. Emil suspects that they will be asked to move once the ICPA has secured a ransom demand. More precisely, put Alex on the field. The main problem is only one.

Zetta Sonic himself is not ready, both psychically and physically, plus the limitations of equipment.

“Zetta Sonic sent to catch Rando? We're just dealing with Damon, and then the names Baron and Roban come up. Now Rando shows up again?” Tiger gave a long sigh. “Why do they all even have similar names? As if they were all related or indeed the same person.”

“The second guess is wrong. That's palpable. Rando is a hit man. Until now, we have no known identity. Damon can be a hero. He made us have the Zetta Sonic. Baron is Caitlin's fiancee. Young and rich entrepreneurs. Roban... We don't know full yet.” Emil retorted and instantly got a glare at Tiger. “I'm just helping. Sharing information.”

Emil returns to his job, repairing the Zetta Sonic combat uniform. At least, he assisted advanced machines and complete equipment. The combat uniform was in a three-meter-high large black box. The glass door shows three pairs of slender machine hands at work.

Dr. Vanessa took a massage at her temple, not intending to answer either. The four of them were in a basement full of equipment. Jason was in a corner of the room with a robot bee. Alex sat quietly beside him. His eyes were fixed on the tablet PC.

When Fergus came, everyone looked at him. Except Alex. Alex didn't let his eyes switch even when he spoke.

“What do you want?” The question sounded cold and flat. “You already know Jayden's rescue is a priority. Then, Rando showed up. Now I have the impression that you want us to handle this matter.”

Fergus folded his hands in front of his chest and smiled with satisfaction at Alex's words. “As I recall, you offered to be an assistant to Emil.”

“Indeed,” reply Alex briefly. “Then?”

“Come, we help each other.” Fergus' words get Alex's attention turned to him. “In theory, I cannot rule you. I can govern all ICPA members in this country, except you. You are a special team under Nadira's orders. But, y'all—”

“Can move by yourself,” sahut Alex. “You want me to catch Rando so you can help Jayden?”

Fergus. “I want you to beat Rando for all of us before he messes up all our work.”

The Special Force members exchanged glances.

Fergus continued. “There's a reason why I want you guys in this basement. This is one of the safest rooms in the base. Fireproof, explosion, earthquake, just name it. I want you guys to be safe.”

Tiger clenched his hand. “Do not say that—”

Fergus nodded. Emil stopped doing whatever he was doing. Doctor Vanessa looked at Fergus and Alex alternately and opened her mouth about to ask.

However, it was Tiger who asked that question first. “Why are you so calm? Fergus, look at the footage of Sonic's fight. No offense, but he can't beat Rando at the moment. I mean, not yet. Besides, Alex, why don't you look scared at all?”

“I got the video,” replied Alex. “I found Rando wandering near our base and did a test run on that poor puppy. Someone has to beat him up. I wanted. I'm willing, but..” Alex paused for a moment. He looked at Fergus. “You want to secure Special Force here but want me to go outside? What are you hiding?”

Fergus smiled broadly. “You are really smart. It's hard to make a surprise for you.”

“Whatever you're prepared for right now must have surprised me.” Alex has to admit that he doesn't have any guesses at all about Fergus' passion.

“We did a little check on the data belonging to Jayden—” agent

“You stole Jayden's data?” sahut Alex's.

Tiger grunts amusedly. “Even for a special team like us, you're still suspicious, eh?  Why am I not surprised? Peering at each other or watching each other? Which term is more appropriate, Fergus?”

“Technically, it's ICPA — data of course, I mean Special Force.” Fergus rolled his shoulders and said softly. “We only do a little bit of small inspection. Just make sure there are no viruses or other bad things. I thought you should thank me for that.”

“What data do you check?” Alex frowning.

Fergus did not answer. He took something out of his pocket and threw it. With his hand recovered, Alex caught the object. It felt strong and cold in his hands. Alex's hand recognized him. His eyes are even more. He saw a black emblem with a star.

“What is this like I thought?” Alex could not help but smile on his face.

“The Weapon and Armory Division makes it exactly the same as the data listed. The date is long enough. That is, no recent developments are planted in it. However, it should be powerful enough to withstand the attack of killer robots.” Fergus throws his eyes at Emil. “Seeing that Emil is a little busy, I think he can get a little help.”

“Slight?” sahut Emil's. “I hope I have a lot of hands now.”

“Again,” Fergus continued, “I can't let a teenager roam inside ICPA headquarters unless he wears a Zetta Sonic.” combat uniform

Unlike the others, Tiger instead snorted. “Hey, don't be pessimistic. There is no guarantee that Alex can win against Rando.”

“No. Indeed not. Not without help.”

Fergus's answer didn't make Alex smile this time. The feeling is that something bad is waiting. He knew his suspicions were true. Shortly after Fergus finished talking, the door opened again and a girl sauntered in a tight black suit. If Alex could choose reinforcements, the girl's name wouldn't be on the list even if she stayed the only agent left.
