The Zetta Sonic
Hurricane

The atmosphere in the plane itself is no less chaotic. Tiger took their plane away. At least far enough from the wind. They try to rotate in order to see Alex's condition more clearly, but as far as can be seen is only chaos. Wind, dust, dirt, and smoke make it difficult for them to see.

“Alex, can you hear me? What happened?” Jayden tried to contact the agent. There was no answer he could hear.

“The wind whirl was the cause.” Emil next door was also trying to help. “Alex is too close to the whirlwind. Maybe he's in it. I can't scan it. It makes us difficult to communicate.”

The two agents were busy with their equipment inside the cockpit. They are no longer in the cabin. From this place, they had a wide view ahead with Tiger as well. Meanwhile, the girls are in the cabin with Gavin. But it didn't take long for Gavin to leave them and join the cockpit.

“What happened?” gavin asked as he ran up to Jayden.

“I don't know. I think the robot survived the explosion. And, he is losing control at the moment.” That's all Jayden had in mind. “Alex is trying to stop it. I tried to contact him but it was hard.”

Tiger tried to get his plane closer again. “We can't get any closer than this. Get the boy back on the plane. He doesn't have to fight that robot anymore. Not necessary. We've got the kidnap victims.”

“I tried. As long as Alex gets too close to the whirlwind, it's hard.”

The plane turned again. Tiger knew he could shoot something into that vortex of wind. Maybe that way can stop the vortex. But, there was a risk of a misfiring there. Tiger didn't want their guns to kill Alex. So, he ended up just circling around, trying to find a scene more accurately.

The open cockpit door allowed the newly rescued girls to peek. One of them ventured in. When that happens, the plane is maneuvering. The shock caused the girl to hit Gavin.

“Ma-- Sorry. Ta-But, can we get out of here?” the girl tried to stand up while holding on to Emil's panel table.

Seeing that the girl could enter, the other girl came in. They urged the plane to stay away from the ship immediately.

“You shouldn't be here. Please wait in the cabin with the others. We will leave soon as the situation allows.” Gavin tried to be firm and gentle at the same time.

The girl still had a chance to look around him before turning away. However, his movements stopped before he could get away. Emil was holding the girl's hand. His eyes looked at the hand he was catching.

“Who are you?” ask Emil.

The girl looks awkward. “Ke-- Why? I-I'm a model.”

“Not. Model hands are not full of wounds like this.” Emil observed the fingers, hands, and near the neck of the girl. He could see bruises and blisters. Not because of torture. The crew of the ship would not dare to injure the girl they kidnapped. Emil continued. “You are not a model. You're not the girl who was kidnapped. You're one of them.”

“A-- What?”

Alex encounters a source of chaos that he already knows well. At the center of the whirlwind is a blue robot that is still playing its power. The shape is no longer perfect especially the outer coating. The paint has been lost a lot along with the cover skin of the machine. His head was no longer perfectly round. The complicated mechanism behind the round skin was revealed outwards. He lost one of his hands. But that doesn't make it difficult to make a mess.

The robot's eyes lit up red. It looks like a skull in a horror movie. Alex was not afraid at all. He came to the robot with his sword.

A strong wind blow tried to prevent Alex's presence. Dozens of sharp daggers with strings rained down on the combat uniform. The warning appears on the helmet screen. There were several daggers regarding the same point. As Jayden said, the same scratch at the same point can damage it. These points are a concern in themselves.

However, as long as the rocket and its wings have not given up, Alex will not stop. As strong as his energy, he tried to break through the outer wind vortex. They're like claws of a wild animal. Ferocious without a bit of mercy. Inside the noise of the whirlwind, there were voices of protest from his rocket. The buzz signifies that the rocket has been trying its maximum. There was also a strange crackling of his wings. They were like a threat that indicated that the wings could be broken.

The daggers came again. Alex tried to avoid. The dagger rotates along with the wind. They hit his combat uniform again. The robot had another idea. He looked at Alex. Instantly, a strong wind thrust came out from the vortex. This thrust blew Alex away.

Very far, in fact, made Alex hit a pile of containers and fell to the ground floor. Now it's not just the rockets that protest. His back was protesting. If he had not been protected, he would have been seriously injured.

Alex looked. The robot slowly descended, still covered in whirlwinds. Alex finds Jayden's voice and picture on his screen rather disturbed. He tells some things about the robot also warns Alex to retreat immediately. Their target has been rescued, no more fighting the robot. Instead of complying, something within him surged. The green light came back.

Alex is beginning to realize that may be his wish. Fighting with a robot that desires the other side in him. Fear mixed with curiosity filled his mind. Alex recalls when he first woke up after undergoing Zetta Sonic surgery. How all his senses sharpen with an uncontrollable thirst. For the first time, Alex can recognize this desire.

And, he was thinking of trying to surrender himself to this side.

His body felt strange. Light, but strange. His eyes could observe better. Aided by the brainwave interpreter technology on her uniform, all her wishes are realized.

At first, Alex thought he would never break through the whirlwind with sheer force. Reality doesn't. With the same rocket, wings, and body, Alex rode forward. The strength of the wind vortex was still the same. The flying knives are still just as sharp. Some managed to pierce through the shield and injure his own skin. But, he doesn't feel like pain.

His desire is only one. Eliminate opponents.

As soon as Alex arrived in the middle of the whirlwind, Alex's hand gripped the opponent's neck. He threw the robot like how it blew it. The wind stopped. The robot fell for a while, but the balance returned quickly followed by a smaller wind vortex.

The robot was wrong to think the threat was over. Alex was in front of him. The robot was clearly not ready for his presence. His eyes were still flashing red while the sword in Alex's hand had been unsheathed. Alex cuts off both legs of the robot. This time, the robot completely lost its ability. The robot slammed into the ground, attracted by the force of gravity.
