The Zetta Sonic
Cross the Line's

Naray realized his mistake. Not about the shot, but about the target. The target, the Zetta Sonic, darted through the air. This was different from the information he had received earlier. He also began to doubt the information he had received earlier. The Zetta Sonic shouldn't be able to move that fast.

Alex knew this was the first time for him. His uniform was not equipped with rockets at the time. He didn't even have an insect that could help him float. Currently, he was only equipped by a jet-black combat uniform. And, that in no way explains how he was able to cross the river in the air that fast. That doesn't even include jumping or flying. He was right in front of Naray.

The man before him was wide-eyed but reacted quickly. Before Alex's fist hit the face, Naray managed to cover his head with an arm. Not the best defense. At the very least, the movement withstood even worse damage. Alex's attack was too strong. Naray even fell down. He groaned on the ground, then hurriedly got up, without having a chance to check if there was a broken bone.

Alex stepped forward and immediately ran.

Naray. He's got his long shotgun. Bullets were being spewed out nonstop. There was a shot of help from the other side. At least from three different directions. Naray brought his other members. They arrived faster than ICPA reinforcements.

[Alex! Back off!] Jayden doesn't know if Alex can still respond. Alex's eyeballs are now turning green. His heart rate increased too fast and his movements were no longer human. Things that make Jayden incredibly anxious. [Alex! Back off! It's hazardous. You are outnumbered.]

Dangerous to everyone. For Naray, for his group members, for ICPA reinforcements, even for Alex himself. Jayden's got a safety lock. When bad things happen, he can activate the Barb Wire security protocol. Again. He's avoiding.

It seems Alex doesn't care if he's threatened. Instead of trembling let alone retreat, Alex instead continued to push forward. The bullet rain from Naray was ignored. Each shot on the uniform makes a new scratch that gets deeper and deeper. Alex is undaunted. Not this time.

Instead, Naray was desperate. When the figure of the Zetta Sonic had been in front of him, he could not do anything. Movement ceased. Body unmoving. His sight could not be separated from that figure. Even his breath was held like a hunter caught by a hunter. Seeing Naray pressed, his comrades also did not dare to shoot anymore. They are afraid of the leader or — worse — makes Zetta Sonic reckless.

Alex paused for a moment. He sees himself on the opponent's eyeball. There was a threat he was making in a voice he was unfamiliar with. A deep and low voice, like the threat of a savage beast. Alex was about to ask but his own voice did not come out. His hand moved to Naray's neck. Alex realized he could no longer control his body movements.

Jayden shouted in the ear, giving him orders. Alex could not hear it clearly because his ears were also ringing.

Naray. His hand tried to clutch Alex's hand to break away but he lost strongly. Aided by Dragon Blood, Alex's hands are as solid as an iron wall. Not a bit unshakable. This made Naray pull out a small handgun from behind his back. Before he could shoot, Alex's other hand had dropped him.

Alex was not aware of the next move. Naray's hand is still free. When one hand manages to pick up the gun, the other hand picks up the dagger. As Alex fends off the gun, Naray manages to pull out the dagger on Alex's shoulder. The attack succeeded. The dagger damaged the Zetta Sonic's protective layer and managed to reach his body. Alex could feel it. The poignant taste also stinks of blood fishy. His own. Feels sweet. Angry fishing.

The other Kloster tribe members shouted at each other. One of them tries to stop Alex by jumping at him. Alex flinching. The attack, the pull, the blow didn't stop him at all. Naray is getting more helpless. This person slowly retreated. The Kloster tribe members threw their rifles down. A sign of surrender.

Alex understands. Unfortunately, there was a side in his body that did not understand.

Next, there was a current of electrical attacks attacking him. That sharp feeling was felt in every inch of his body. Jayden used his cards again. Alex himself hoped this would stop him. Unfortunately, no. Amidst the pain, his hand remained strangling the opponent's neck. His eyes stared straight without blinking. Alex is forced to watch something he doesn't want to see.

“Stupid!”

This time Alex heard a voice. The sound was accompanied by a pull from behind. That's Tiger. This big man pulled himself away from Naray. Not only that, Tiger dealt a crushing blow to the face. Alex fell to the ground. The attack managed to completely restore his consciousness. The ringing in his ears vanished, his eyes could blink, and his body was back under his control.

Alex found his voice shaking. “What do I do?”

In addition to the pain and soreness on his body, there was a great fear. His sight blurred as his eyes wet. Naray's fluttering figure frightened him. So did the gazes of the Kloster members.

ICPA reinforcements have also come with Tiger. They curled up each Kloster member, pressed their bodies to the ground, then tied both of their hands back. Two ICPA members came to Alex with long, shiny sticks at the end. Stun guns? Alex understood it quickly. They were going to catch him anyway.

Alex heard Jayden's voice. [Don't just shut up! Up, Alex!]

Jayden's voice sounded agitated. There were other voices heard behind him. The sound of the door opening. The sound of footsteps. Voice commands and screams. End with the sound of the breakdown of communication relations.

“Running, boy!” whispered Tiger.

Alex has not responded.

Tiger had woken up, attacking the ICPA members who were about to capture him. A fight Alex never expected to happen. The fight within the ICPA's own stronghold. Jayden's guide disappears and Tiger is fighting a fellow agent.

“Wake up, boy!” Tiger shouted again. He ignored the punch he had just received in his stomach. Tiger caught his bat and slammed him to the ground. He screamed again. “Go from here! Don't turn back!”

“Ta— But..”

Alex is unable to move. Somehow more frightening, seeing himself has injured people or seeing more and more ICPA agents trying to attack them. Tiger backed off, preparing the horses. Before facing the ruckus, he throws a white drone at Alex.

“Go! Don't get caught! Now!”

Alex never thought he would run away from a fight. Presumably, it happened today. He ran with Jason in his arms.
