The Zetta Sonic
On the Top

“Halo, Jayden!” Alex smiles behind a helmet. Some were surprised to hear his own voice. The sound that came out just now was not only clear but also different. Not his own voice. “OK, what else can I expect here?”

“Soyalty,” sahut Tiger. “That's them!”

Alex could see a black sedan in front of a large building decorated with neon lights. There was a picture of a large penguin in front of him with a colorful flag. Someone just got out of the car. He knows who it is. Their target, Nikola.

[Time to act, Sonic!]

Alex turned to Tiger. “What's the plan?”

“Stop asking what the plan is and just park!”

Tiger's words were definitely not a plan. Alex knows what that means. Their car passed through the casino then turned sharply at the intersection. Tiger stopped suddenly at the entrance of the night market. The security guard gawked at him, so did Alex. Tiger didn't talk. He changed gears and retreated sharply towards the alley on the left side away from the crowd.

“Shortcut way?” guess Alex.

The car has completely stopped. Alex and Tiger go down, finding that there is a high railing blocking them from going any further.

“This must be a safeguard so that no one can escape from casino.” Tiger observed the back row of the building behind the fence. Casino De Penguin is in the middle of the alley. The back door is no less lively than the front.

The four people standing guard at the back door were aware of their existence. One of them told the other two to check on them. The existence of a white SUV in the alley like that seems to make them riled up. Naturally, such work would never give them peace.

Alex nodded at Tiger. “Search another way! I'll handle this.”

“Listen to Sonic, I obey you only because there is no other option.”

“Serah.” Alex smiled even though Tiger didn't see it. Alex looked up, towards the tall fence. “Jayden, do you think I can jump over this fence?”

[Ask Sonic, don't ask me!]

It's funny to hear Jayden as if he's separating Alex from Zetta Sonic. Alex saw that both guards were right behind the fence. One of the men bullied him, another one pulled out a gun as a threat.

At that time, Alex found that the screen on his helmet changed. There is an additional small screen on the left side. The screen magnified the hand of the gun-carrying guard. In an instant, a description of the gun emerged. Real gun, sig sauer 9mm. Alex didn't expect to be shot. He doesn't know yet if his clothes are bulletproof. All he knew was that he could jump high.

His heart was racing as Alex slightly lowered his head. Next, it all happened so easily. His feet hit the ground. His body was thrown into the air, not high enough to cross the fence. His fingers also grabbed the fence as his feet made another jolt there. His body was thrown back into the air. Next, he was already behind the fence. More precisely, behind the two guards.

One of them cursed. The other one was about to shoot, but Alex's hand was faster. He turned the hand, making the owner curl up on the ground.

“Gosh! Did I just break his bones!?” Alex's voice came out too loud until the other guard came along.

[It's a problem?] Jayden replied directly inside the helmet.

Alex heard a step. Two other guards approached. He also knocked down the guards that were nearby now. One punch in the stomach is enough to drop it on the floor. Alex now turned to the other two. One has opened fire. Alex knows. He could see it like a slowed record. Alex avoided it easily.

[Green eyes! Super energy? The cheque! Moving fast? The cheque! Professor will be very happy with all the data today] Jayden is excited. From the hotel room, he can see the ambient condition of the drone and also Alex's reaction behind the helmet. [Stop them!]

“Now!” Alex spontaneously shouted.

“They're human!” reply Alex.

[OK, okay. Up yours. At least remember this, if Nikola gets the formula, we don't know how many people he's gonna kill.]

“Understanding.”

Another bullet has been released. Alex departs. Even so, the bullet grazed his arm. Alex saw how his clothes had glittered when a bullet hit him. No scratching or deformities there. At least, now he knows that his shirt is bulletproof. Alex advanced, dropped these two guards without a long time, and arrived at the back door.

[They are on top.]

“What floor?” Alex squinted his eyes, observing the height of the building. He needed an emergency ladder this time. The stairs were attached along the back wall of the casino. That will speed up the path.

[Amost top. Helipads.]

Sure oes. The building is equipped with a helipad. The majority of visitors are thick pockets. Nikola built it for an important guest. He could also use it for the escape route. Really interesting thought.

Alex heard a commotion from behind the back door. The other guards must have realized something was not right there. Alex jumps. His hand reached the nearest stairs. He swung for a while and then jumped up the next ladder. Several times, Alex can jump two floors at once. In a short period of time, he had managed to reach the top floor. Helipads.

The place is not much different from the helipad on top of other tall buildings. A flat runway accompanied by a row of flashing lights. The cold wind was not friendly. There is also a small building connected to the lower floor. There's no helicopter there. When Alex suspected that Jayden's guide was wrong, he noticed that two guards were running out of the building. Both of them were guards who had also been at the resort.

Nikola appeared behind them breathlessly. His eyes widened when he saw Alex. He must be surprised by the presence of a foreign figure wearing clothes that are no less foreign. Under the beam of a helipad lamp, Alex suspects that his appearance resembles a mixture of bikers and aliens.

The two guards did not need time to admire. They hurriedly opened fire. Nikola turned around, back down the stairs.

[Stop him!]

Alex crossed the runway without difficulty. He also had no trouble taking down the two guards. They are definitely not his match. Alex knows. So did Nikola. As he was about to enter the building, Alex saw a blue twinkle and the drone of the machine he recognized. Turn back now. A killer robot blocks himself from reaching Nikola.

Alex keeps a distance between himself and the killer robot, waiting for the first attack or opportunity to attack. The robot glided smoothly out while Nikola grinned behind him without daring to leave the building.

“I thought the robot was just one!” alex protesting to Jayden.

[We only got reports of one killer robot.]

“Be told them to update their data.”

[It depends.]

“Depends on what, you mean?”

[Depending on whether you will destroy this robot as well or not.]

“If I can destroy it, the data also still have to be updated, ‘kan? Killer robot population. Nil.”
