The Zetta Sonic
Warm

Alex can finally take off his uniform at Vanessa's. He sat on the red bed, turning his back to the doctor who was applying medicine to his back. Professor Otto sat in a corner of the room near a row of medicine cabinets. Jayden and Tiger were on the other side near the table with a snack and warm chocolate on top. They are all warming themselves up.

The container is much warmer than any place in the abandoned building area. Each side is white with line lights like most other ICPA devices. There is a heater placed on one side of the room, separate from most other items.

“I'm pretty sure this will make a big bruise scar. In some places. But, only temporarily. No need to worry, Alex. The drugs ICPA uses are much better than those on the market.” Doctor Vanessa moved away while closing the cure.

Alex turned around so he could face the other people. His hand grabbed his red shirt while getting off the bed. Successive exercises make his body more formed, especially the muscles in his hands and stomach. Can't rival Willy yet, after all, he also doesn't intend to have such a big muscle.

“So?” Alex pulls his t-shirt over the stomach. “What is this mission? Robot factory?” Alex is approaching Jayden. He took one glass of warm chocolate in a paper cup. The smoke is still billowing. The heat made his hands comfortable. Alex put his other hand to the side of the glass as well.

“Trobot factory destruction. It will be harder than you did today. But, you've learned how.” Jayden puts on a big smile. Alex just shook his head. “There won't be spiders there either.” Jayden giggles.

“Shut!” sahut Alex's. Her lips blew the brown surface.

Jayden opened the laptop he was carrying. “Like other bad guys, they always use the guise of other factories to cover the real products they make. From the outside, this factory just looks like an ordinary factory.”

Laptop screen shows a factory with gray paint. The walls are decorated with glass. There is a beautiful garden on the outside. The building is surrounded by thick walls and two gates on the front side also behind. The gate looks solid, maybe even too sturdy. Besides being strong, it is also high.

“What do they produce besides robots?” Alex frowning. He brought himself closer to the screen, trying to guess the factory from the big emblem on the top side of the factory. Blue rectangular emblem in an isosceles triangle. “It looks like I've seen this emblem.”

“Robot,” Jayden replied. “Robot the other.”

“Robot broom!”

“Fast. Sweep robots, vaccum cleaners, and other cleaning items. Let me guess, you wore one at home.”

At home, Alex doesn't just hire a lot of servants. He also uses various equipment and technology. Including the broom robot Jayden mentioned. The robot was a circle the size of a plate and quite thick. When activated, the robot will surround the house, sucking dirt and dust.

The robot was usually used on the first floor, in a spacious living room. But he never once went into Alex's room. Rover doesn't like him. The dog once gripped the robot under his sharp nails making a long beret also deep.

“It's shocking. I thought they were just producing ordinary home tools.”

Jayden changed the screen image. Now, there is the face of the trademark owner. An old man with a thick mustache who was already gray. “It should be so. I checked the owner.”

“Let me guess. She's clean.”

“I don't think he'll let his factory infiltrate production like this.”

“Since a few years ago, he started passing this factory on to his children. One of them is on his youngest daughter. Tracenita Gracia Killeron's. He married a wealthy businessman of the same social status.” Jayden changed the laptop screen again. This time there are some wedding photos and family photos. “Since marriage, his surname changed to Shah.”

“Nikola Shah!?” sahut Alex's. “He married Nikola Shah?”

Alex felt his forehead crease immediately. His hand was clutching a paper cup. It spilled out right away. At that instant, Alex consciously let his emotions overflow. Dragon Blood responded, granting excessive strength. He realized that his emotions and mental well-being were related to that power, far from his shadow.

“Patience, boy!” Tiger threw a washcloth at him.

Alex is embarrassed. His first mission did not go well. Nikola Shah was arrested, but the man managed to get one of the famous models killed. Alex is not upset because the model is quite fond of his friends. He was upset that a life was lost due to his inaction.

Jayden continued after Alex cleared his mess. “He's not married to Nikola. Nikola was too ugly for her. She is married to Filip Shah, the younger brother of Nikola Shah. With the influence of Filip, the factory now produces other goods besides cleaning equipment. Looks like they want to rid the world of things that are not as they wish.”

“People greedy!” grouch Alex. “So, they produce killer robots?”

“Quickly!” Jayden flicked his finger.

Alex took another glass of warm chocolate. He let his memories of the killer robot come to the surface. Alex wants to finish them off to their roots. Technology is not evil. Man is evil. They are using technology wrongly. Alex thinks what would have happened if Dragon Blood had fallen into Damon's hands instead of him. Next, he instantly came to his senses instead of being in a position to comment. Dragon Blood should not have been made for him.

Professor Otto cleared his throat. The attention of those people was on him now. “See if you can control your power better, Alex. I appreciate that. So, I submitted your name for this mission to Nadira.”

Hearing the professor's words, Alex felt impressed and suspicious. Especially when Jayden let out a short sigh and Tiger threw his gaze away. The professor seems more interested in research than the destruction of the killer robot. Alex knew his conjecture was right when the professor spoke again.

“I prepare new things for you. In addition, I also made a new uniform that you can wear tomorrow.”

Alex began to think that his uniform would now only be used for training. So, it doesn't matter at all that the uniform was badly damaged by the bomb. No way Nadira set a real explosive there. Curious, Alex was tempted to ask, “What is this new uniform in white?”

Professor Otto laughed. “Your new uniform can change color as you like.”

“Sounds interesting. Is this uniform also accompanied by wings? I don't think Zetta Sonic needs a flight permit to explore space.” Alex got no answer, but he got a sneer from a mad scientist.
