The Zetta Sonic
Fire

There in question is on the other side of the forest, still within the campground complex where Alex and his friends are. Alex had even just turned off his combat uniform when the voice sounded. Some kind of buzzing sound. A hostile buzz from far away. Not a normal drone, but the drone of the engine. It's good he's ready again.

Alex activates his uniform again. His heart is beating incoherently. If the drone does come from a killer robot, the problem could turn much worse. There are a lot of innocent people here. Not just factory workers but his friends, including Willy and Leta.

The sound came from near the lake, a different side. Not close enough to where their camp is. Closer to his current position. Alex is approaching. And, thinking he'd be wrong again, Alex sees the robot.

The robot was exactly the same as he had in mind. The robot came out of the water. The head is round like an egg, a pair of hands and feet like a human, the body is yellow with some parts left gray. Data shows that this robot can emit high-voltage electricity and has a spear as a weapon.

If it's electric, it means that the robot is not much different than the robot that Alex first met with Nikola. Alex can beat him easily. He wished he could destroy this one as easily as before.

[You're really running into trouble. It's like trouble is looking for you. Among the many artists and important people, why did he appear here?] That's when, his communication with the marksa was intertwined. Jayden's voice rang out in his ear.

“Don't ask me!”

Alex doesn't have to wait. He rushed to attack his opponent before the robot actually landed on the ground. Alex's punch sent the robot crashing to the ground. The force of Alex's punch almost pushed the robot into the lake again. Alex is much more free to control Dragon Blood's power now.

His hand hurried to take out a clear bladed sword. He didn't have time to train with Tiger anymore. All of his training over the past few days had to run because he was alone at the moment. Without Jason, without the laser gun.

“You should have let me carry a laser gun,” grumbled Alex. He still has time to protest.

[You know how else. The weapon has strict provisions. Nadira still thinks you're a rookie and underage agent. Anyway, admit it, none of us would have thought that the robot appeared here.]

Alex swallows Jayden's words that contain the truth. In his heart, he was very confident that a killer robot would appear in the capital or even another city, not at such a campsite.

Alex advanced while unsheathing the sword. This time, his opponent was prepared. The robot took a long tube from behind his back. In an instant, the tube extended to two meters with rounded ends at each end. Each circle emits a yellow light and a dangerous splash. I don't know what power will strike if touched.

Alex's sword collided with the spear accompanied by a loud sound. The robot uses its spear as a defense. After Alex drew his sword, the new robot stretched it forward. Alex dodges, then pulls out again.

While Alex is fighting, Jayden is investigating the robot. [The good news is that the robot was not given the correct spear-use program. As for weapons, he's just like you. The bad news is, the electricity is gonna make you sick. Not to death, anyway. But it will still make you sick.]

“I'm open to proposals not such useless information.”

[Alright. How about this? The robot has a complex component that can remove electricity from its hands, feet, and head. That is, the robot is fragile. More powerful than previous robots.]

Alex lowered his head, avoiding the swing of the spear on it. He tried to attack the robot from behind. The robot must have a special sensor. When Alex was behind her, the egg's head spun backwards like an owl. His eyes lit up, indicating an attack. This forced him to stay the distance first.

Justright. An electric shock struck in the air. They grabbed a nearby tree, splitting it in half. Not a beautiful sight. Alex is grateful to remember Jayden's earlier warning. He won't die even if the electricity hits him. Alex then clucked in annoyance given Jayden's continued sentence. He will only feel pain.

Alex is brain twisting. He needs to get closer. Usually this kind of robot needs a time lag before issuing the same attack. Alex awaits. The swoop by the swoop happened. Some came from the hand, some from the stick. At that moment, Alex realized that the longest pause had occurred after taking out an attack from the stick.

The robot holds a stick in front of its body. Both balls at the ends are yellow. Shortly after, he began to attack. The tip of the stick smashed whatever was touched. The attacks themselves can last up to once or twice. So Alex waited until the light disappeared.

Alex is advancing. He swung his sword just like Tiger had taught him. One of his slashes managed to cut off the robot's left hand. The robot can only look. The stick had not fallen because there was still another hand holding it. Alex turns, cuts off the left leg. The robot is also ticking.

The final attack was prepared. However, Alex forgets that this robot has a booster rocket. His sword had not yet hit that frail body, his opponent had darted. The robot was wrong to think Alex couldn't catch up to him. With Dragon Blood, Alex ran fast. Using a rock as a foothold, he jumped onto a tree branch, then landed on top of a robot body. Alex drew a sword on the rocket. Jayden would call that stupid.

Alex's attack sent both of them to the ground. Before it exploded, Alex jumped. His body rolled on the ground while the robot was smashed to pieces in flames as well as black smoke and an unfamiliar smell.

“I made a mess,” Alex said.

Without needing to be ordered, Alex hastily activated stealth mode. He heard the crowd approaching him. He thought that his friends or teachers had come there. Turns out some camp officials. Such a commotion is natural when it provokes attention. Especially now that the smoke was billowing thick, almost matching the thick smoke of their bonfire.

While the men were there, Alex was unmoved. He could see how those people were throwing arguments at each other. Trying to understand what happened. Alex realized his breathing was holding back now. He hid behind a tree, just in case the feature died without him noticing.

[Don't worry, I'll figure out how to deal with them.]

Alex doesn't remember what Jayden said anymore. About ten minutes later, the men left. Alex slumped under a tree. His heart is beating incoherently. When he checked his energy indicators, he could see his energy halving. It seemed like Dragon Blood was depleted even faster when he was being depressed.

“There are still two more,” whispered slowly.

“At that time, you will be ready.” Tiger walked over with a rifle in his hand. “I thought you could get here sooner. Turns out, maybe I'm as old as my shadow.”

Alex tried to calm herself down but her mind was filled with questions. “Robot is a killer robot. He should have come here to kill instead of kidnap. Honey Lemon is more suitable to be kidnapped rather than killed. If so, who exactly is the target?”

“Think of that after we arrive in the capital.”
