Story
Season 2
MISSION: PLAY: Khai was teamed up by Agent Karya along with Iman and Jet to go through the southern part of Cyberaya, and General Rama tasked the group to make a defense for the Beta Core Reactor against the invaders.
MISSION: RETURN: Khai, Iman, and Moon were shocked and worried about Ali, as he was beaten off by Rizwan. And then, Bakar's shield, Moon's Holographic Suit, and R-O were suddenly glitched, as Override Mode from the I.R.I.S had returned.
MISSION: DIEZ and MISSION: LEGACY:
MISSION: NEO (Movie)
In the first part of the movie, during the discussion of the Override Mode at the briefing room, Khai was seen on a scene where Ali knocked him down along with R-O (Reference from MISSION: PURPOSE). According to Ganz, the wearer will cause unconsciousness when the user is in the Override Mode.
In the final battle between Ali's and Niki's team, he, along with the other agents wearing the I.R.I.S Neo, joins the fight as Ali's backup to stop Niki's evil plan for killing Dato' Othman.
After her first defeat, her I.R.I.S Neo starts to Override Mode. When Dayang attempts to attack her, she's controlled now by Niki's Override, followed by Ganz. Not taking for so long, Khai felt a headache while being transmitted by Niki's Override until his I.R.I.S Neo turned into Override Mode as well as he lost control of himself and attacked Ali until he turns his original I.R.I.S into Override Mode too. Ali freed him from her control when he triggered Override Blue.
Season 3
MISSION: S.A.T.R.I.A.
Khai appeared as a hallucination in Ali's nightmare sequence in S.A.T.R.I.A. Dimension. The other young agents glared at Ali, and Bakar blamed him for everything that is currently happening and tried to punch him, but Ali dodged the punch. He ran away from them, but Rudy threw his Shadow Cuff onto Ali's arm and pulled him back. Ali resisted with his Aero Boots and uncuffed himself, but Moon attacked him while he was distracted. Chris attacked Ali next and Zass restrained him, with Mika following up with a punch. Ali used his Aero Boots to get away from both Mika and Zass, but was pulled back by Iman's Meteor Hammer Shawl, and she threw Ali into his next nightmare scene - this time he's at Cyberaya Smart Tunnel again.
