The Zetta Sonic
Voice

“Who is it!?” Alex snaps.

He got the answer in the form of a laser attack. The light penetrated his sitting position earlier. Alex ran as fast as he could into the smoke. His opponent this time had a laser gun, something the robot did not have. The green line was like his own gun. His hand had taken his own gun. The more he saw it, the more he was sure the gun was the same.

The attack came again. This time accompanied by a low voice rather hoarse. “Basic killer robot! You think you can run away from me? You don't even have a human fingernail. I'll crush you all!”

Alex frowning. He wasn't sure if it was directed at him. That speech is more suitable given Alex to the killer robot that was eyeing him. Unless that figure in the dark thinks Alex is a robot.

Alex was about to ask, but the laser attack came back. The back-to-back attacks chase wherever Alex goes. He also rolled to the back of the pile of goods. Alex finds himself hiding behind crates in a glass room where the killer robot is assembled.

“Jayden! You hear me?”

[I heard the attack. Wasn't the robot destroyed by the explosion?]

“Instead it. Hey, I know I shouldn't ask this. But, did you guys send another ICPA agent here?”

[No. Just Zetta Sonic. Why?]

“Whatever it is, I think he's carrying a laser gun like ours. I mean, you know, this white gun with a green line on it is not something to buy in the market, ‘ right? It is made specifically for ICPA. Yes, ‘kan?”

[If he did indeed carry an ICPA weapon, I would have been able to trace the code.]

“You put the code here? In my gun?”

[Of course. That's a dangerous weapon. We can deactivate it from a distance.] Jayden recalls how Alex failed to fire his laser gun on the first mission. [Savings, Alex. I got nothing.]

“He came into my room.” Alex whispered while squinting.

[I can see your position. But I can't see your opponent.]

“What do you mean?” Alex peeked out from behind the crate. He clearly saw a man dressed in all black complete with a helmet and bulletproof vest. Her clothes reminded Alex of Tiger's uniform, but there was no ICPA logo there. “She doesn't wear a green-screen shirt like me. How can you not see it?” alex whispered again.

[I can see it from your camera now. But, Jason couldn't track his whereabouts from the radar. That guy, somehow, managed to fool our censors.]

“What is he ICPA member?” Alex zooms in on the gun on his own helmet screen.

[I didn't see the ICPA's identity from him, of course except for the gun.]

“Can you check who he is?”

[From this distance and face covered in helmets? Negative.]

“So, can I fight it?”

[As long as you don't kill him, it should be fine. This mission is ours. Nadira gave this mission specifically to you. You know what that means? All who try to obstruct are enemies.]

Alex moved his body, looking for an opportunity to attack. His opponent this time was clearly human. He can think, he can feel pain, and he can shoot. But, he did not have the Zetta Sonic combat uniform. Alex knows he can beat her. As usual, his brain gave a warning. He wondered who his opponent was and why he was here. There are many questions that need answers. Alex will force the guy to give all the answers he wants.

That man spread his eyes. Alex went back to the box.

“Come out, killer robot!” The man spoke back.

“Give me an idea!” Alex pinta.

[You want to try pretending to be a killer robot? Your place is hiding it's been very supportive.]

“Looks like I have a better idea,” whispered Alex while switching places.

Alex hides behind a computer screen that is still on. Although still lit up, the image displayed was nothing but a blurry image of the room itself. Alex throws in pieces, attracting the opponent's attention.

The man turned. “Killer robots weren't created to lurk, you know?”

“I can see you clearly, agent. What do you want?” Alex finally gave a reply. He made his opponent think that his voice was coming out of the screen with all its components. It's working. Alex hears his opponent standing in front of the screen while he curls up. “You want to destroy this factory like other agents?”

“Colah. We know there's more to it than that. Your killer robot is none of my business.”

The man's answer made Alex even more clueless. “Then, what?”

“Where is he?” His interlocutor asked by suppressing every word.

Alex hates to find her question getting another question. He doesn't know what they're talking about. All he knew was that his opponent had a different purpose. The problem is if it's not destroying the place, then what? Who are people looking for? Finally, Alex forced a low laugh. “Hahaha... I don't think the conversation will end well. I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here.”

Alex's heart almost jumped when he heard a loud noise from behind him. He also dared himself to peek out of the gap. The man hit the engine panel with his head still on the screen above it.

“Do not pretend not to know. I'm sure you already know the full story of your men whom I failed to send to hell. Let me warn. You can hide, but you won't be able to run! I won't stop until you set him free! I will find you even if I have to go to the end of the world!”

Alex felt his breathing hold. That guy obviously had a personal grudge against Filip. Alex is back at Jayden. “You heard that? You got his identity?”

[While doing data matching, Alex. So far, I'm pretty sure he's not our member. Just find out how he got the ICPA laser gun.]

Alex felt a movement behind him. He hurriedly ran as the man shot out the screen following the panel below. Despite his hate to admit, Alex has to admit the guy is dedicated and great.

The man repeated the same words. “You can hide, but you won't be able to run away from me!”

That guy was right. Alex activates stealth mode just as his opponent starts running. Alex jumped out of the room. He himself needs to get out of there in order to blow up all the factories. Just make sure the factory employees are safe, then make sure the person follows him out, then the explosive button can be pressed.

[I got it.] Jayden interrupts tensions.

Alex stopped, turned around, pointing the gun forward. “Can what?”

[He is not a member of ICPA. I couldn't find a match for his voice.]

“Means, he's not our member?”

There's a little pause before Jayden speaks again. [Heard you talking like that, so I thought of something else. A minute.”

Alex retreated slowly towards the underground dock. He no longer heard any noise there. All the factory workers must have fled, he thought. Alex still stepped back one step at a time. His steps came to a halt when his feet stumbled on something soft.

His eyes look back. Right under his feet, Alex saw a bloody leg. That's one of the factory workers. He remembers saving the man from the robot's sabetage. Alex's eyes followed the leg, finding the body, the head, all intact. He also found that the officer was breathing. Still life.

Not understanding what happened, Alex stepped up again. He did not dare to turn around, finding that there was still a stranger in front of him. Alex found someone else. Then, again. And, again. In the hallway, there were factory workers. There was no commotion because no one was aware. They never left the factory.
