The Zetta Sonic
Another

Plan's fucked. If he wants the factory to be bombed, at least he has to move the people first. They are not aware of anything. Something in the air. Alex gets another warning from the ICPA system. The system detects dangerous foreign material in the air. Not just any toxic material, but a paralyzing ingredient, a kind of dope.

He found the source coming from the vents at the top. The thin white fog there spread thinly. A leak? Seems not. For Alex, it could have been Filip Shah. The fire system is equipped with drugs. In order to keep his secret safe, he was willing to sacrifice the workers. If the factory is destroyed in a fire, he will make sure no one can run from there to expose what happened.

Those poor people are stuck there. If Alex presses the explosive button, they'll all be victims. He had to save them first. After all, those people were actually eyewitnesses and perpetrators of the crime.

“Jayden? The tiger? You saw what I saw.”

Tiger answered first. [You know our original plan, Alex? Letting the officers out, then arresting them on the way to the hospital. Nadira had set up ICPA agents disguised as firefighters and medics. Philip seems to have other plans.]

“What should we do?”

[I've already told Nadira our position. It seems like inevitably, we have to enter from the underwater pier. There'll be a submarine heading there. Please make sure that the donation is still open.]

“Wait! Still what?” Alex is right. If Filip Shah willingly let his employees die, it is not impossible if he has locked the place tightly. Including their docks.

Alex was about to run towards the dock when he discovered that another laser attack had shot from behind. He could have avoided. But, the main problem lies precisely when he dodges. His opponent continued to attack regardless of the people lying below. Supposedly if Alex just ran straight, the laser shot would only hit the wall.

“Stop shooting!” Alex exclaims. “There are people--”

“Then why?” His opponent answered quickly. His shot continued as he walked closer. “They are Filip Shah's accomplices. Same asyou. People like you have no right to live. The mad, the power-hungry, the lust-filled, the greedy are not the bitch. Even death is still too beautiful for you.”

“You are crazy! I'm not Filip Shah's man!” exclaim Alex.

Alex attacked. He rejected all the opponent's shots easily. The power of Dragon Blood reacted well as he wished. Alex's quick movements jolted his opponent. Before the man could react, Alex hit him down.

“I told you, stop shooting!” pinta Alex again.

When Alex was about to snatch the laser gun from him, this guy jumped high back. “I didn't know that you guys made war uniforms like that either. Very exciting! Let's see your skills!”

Alex clucked in annoyance. The person in front of him still thinks that he is on one side with Filip. He's still firing shots. Alex is approaching. His opponent pulled out a sharp dagger. Without hesitation, the dagger swung forward. Alex managed to dodge but was forced to cancel his fist earlier.

Next, Alex nodded. How not? The opponent caught his hand. The dagger was pulling down his thigh. Alex rebels. He's trying to get away. Fortunately, Dragon Blood excelled in terms of strength. Alex pulls his hand, as a result of which the opponent's hand is pushed towards him. Alex banged him against the wall. Then, as quickly as possible he broke away, keeping his distance.

His opponent moved slowly, recuperating from the attack. Behind the glass of the opponent's helmet, Alex could see his opponent squinting. When he raised his face, Alex sure saw him forming a knotty smile. His opponent now made sturdy horses with a dagger position to draw down. Alex is aware of another fact. His opponent this time was not just anyone. He could be martial arts and maybe even further away from it.

Unknowingly, Alex felt his hands tremble.

Alex clenched his hands. Tiger's right. He's an ICPA agent with special abilities. He wouldn't be willing to be dropped that easily by someone who just carried a gun just like him. Alex clenched his hands. Prepare to receive all physical attacks. Even if he was sure that the fight would not go on like his training.

The opponent advanced first, Alex welcomed him. Baku hit inevitable. As Tiger watched the fight closely, Jayden completed all his tasks. Not only had he finished copying the factory data and sent it to the headquarters, he had also finished confirming his suspicions.

Alex had asked if the person was their member or not. Hearing that, Jayden instead conducted a thorough member examination. Earlier, he only checked the data of ICPA members Sinde, now he checks all ICPA members around the world.

Meanwhile, Alex manages to make his opponent fall. More precisely, the opponent accidentally fell. When Alex came, he managed to nudge a kick, pushing Alex against the wall. His dagger came unexpectedly. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary dagger. The dagger couldn't do much more than make scratch marks on the uniform.

“You have good material,” says his opponent, “what's his name?”

Alex reached out, grasping the hand that was holding the dagger before returning to make damage. “Name ... Zetta Sonic!”

Alex's eyes glistened green again. His outlook changed to greenish. Alex could see how his opponent's eyes were wide. Alex's hand that caught his wrist tightened, sending a signal to the brain. The shock mixed with panic. With one blow, Alex pushes his opponent to hit the opposite wall.

“Hey, listen to me carefully!” exclaim Alex. “I'm not Filip Shah's man. I'm Zetta Sonic! And, you were arrested on behalf of ICPA!”

His opponent fluttered in position while holding his stomach.

Jason floated over Alex. He sends Jayden's voice to be heard by everyone. [Technically, Sonic, it's kind of hard to do. Our guest is none other than and is not a member of the Regis branch of ICPA.]

“What do you mean?” Alex still doesn't understand.

[I do voice matching to all ICPA agents around the world. I got one match. The person in front of you is also an active agent of the ICPA of another continent. Secret agent, Gavin River. I'm right, ‘kan? The surprise! I didn't think you could walk this far. Secret mission or personal secret?]

Alex's opponent, Gavin, laughed instead. He also put his gun forward.

[I wouldn't have done it if I were you, Gavin. Drop guns! You're dealing with Zetta Sonic. We have official permission here. We also reserve the right to get rid of anything that gets in the way even if it deals with regulation.]

Gavin shook, and so did Alex, until they heard a strange noise quite loud.

“Who is it!?” Alex snapped in silence.

Alex heard another voice from the back side. The voice came from a different side. Not from the engine, but from the side of the dock. His voice reminded Alex of the sound of a killer robot, a faint humming sound. Coupled with the sound of heavy footsteps, Alex is quite sure that the robot is driven by feet instead of wheels.
