Plot[]
At night, after receiving instructions from insiders, a group of motorcycle bandits crashed into the Cyberaya port and stopped in front of a C-Tech container, greeted by their leader, Komeng who was already waiting in the port compound. One of the bandits, dressed in dark red, took out a crowbar from a toolbox to try to break into the container. The attempt was stopped by Agents Bakar and Ali who came from behind. Komeng ordered all his henchmen to attack them while fleeing. Bakar fought with his henchmen while Ali chased Komeng. While chasing, I.R.I.S. suddenly spotted a figure dressed in all black running in the same direction as Ali on the container. Caught off guard by the figure, Ali slipped on a puddle of oil, staining his suit.
Ali got up and surrounded Komeng at a dead end, but was himself surrounded by several henchmen around. Komeng pulled out a knife to attack Ali, but was surprised by the action of the black figure who shot his knife down. Ali, Komeng and his henchmen looked at the figure wearing a mask and a black suit with a dark green scarf standing on top of the container. Komeng ordered his henchmen to continue attacking Ali; Ali responded by using a yoyo to snatch a baton from one and trip two others. Another henchman attacked Ali from behind but was knocked down by the masked figure's slingshot from the container. The masked figure was chased by the henchmen who climbed up the container, but he also slingshotted them while getting down to help Ali.
With the range of Ali's yoyo and the masked figure's slingshot, they knocked down all the henchmen around. The arrival of several more henchmen was greeted by the masked figure by firing a slingshot that caused them to fall and stick to each other, then Ali finished them off with a blast of wind from his yoyo. Ali wanted to celebrate his victory by clapping the masked figure, but he was intercepted. Komeng, who had already been defeated, came to warn them and whistled to call his automatic motorcycle here to escape. Ali tried to greet the masked figure but he disappeared. Bakar arrived at Ali's position and was surprised to see many of his henchmen lying around while Ali looked up in amazement at the masked figure.
The next morning at school on his way to class, Viktor complained to Ali about how difficult it was to beat the boss level in the game he had in hand. Ali asked to try the game while throwing a drink box towards a nearby trash can. The drink box hit the rim of the bin and didn't go in, causing Alicia and Mia to appear in front of Ali and Viktor to fine Ali for cleaning the toilet. Ali begged for forgiveness by throwing the box properly, but Alicia refused on the grounds that she wouldn't learn a lesson if she didn't get a fine. The school bell rang, and Alicia added another late fine for Ali who didn't have time to step into the classroom; this made Ali stop in anger and Viktor had to push him inside.
In the classroom, Puan Munah started science class with a shocking cane whipping as a warning not to disrupt the class. Ali, still furious, scribbled a picture of a curse on Alicia, crumpled the paper and threw it at Alicia who was sitting in front. Alicia tilted her head to avoid the paper and it hit Puan Munah's face, causing her to angrily ask who threw the paper. Alicia cunningly blamed Ali for the mess while apologizing, so Puan Munah punished her with a shower of crumpled paper.
A moment later during class, Ali received a signal from M.A.T.A. on his cell phone and tried to ask himself to go to the toilet, but was interrupted by Mia doing the same thing at the same time. Puan Munah allowed them both, and Ali quickly moved to the library. Unconsciously, he was panting, followed by Mia who tried to ask Ali to deliver a love letter to Viktor. After Mia left, Ali threw the letter away with a feeling of annoyance and reached for the book that contained the secret switch.
As soon as he opened the elevator door, Ali was startled by Alicia's presence who asked what he was doing there. Surrounded, Ali confessed his secret involvement but was interrupted by Alicia's mention of M.A.T.A., making Ali gasp again. Alicia wondered why Ali was recruited with such behavior, and Ali told him about defeating 20 bandits yesterday. The story made Alicia examine Ali and denounce him as "that agent", making Ali gasp again, leading to a stern warning from the librarian who couldn't stand his noisy conversation. Ali whispered to ask if Alicia was the masked figure, but the M.A.T.A. signal flashed again on both of their devices. Ali rushed towards the elevator, but Alicia tripped her and then took the elevator and got off while making a face at Ali.
Ali finally went down to the M.A.T.A. control room in a sullen state, greeted by Agents Bakar and Jenny, and General Rama who scolded him for arriving late. The General opened the briefing by displaying Komeng's face in a hologram panel and explaining that Komeng was Abang Bear's right-hand man who robbed many of M.A.T.A's new inventions; Bakar explained that Abang Bear was Cyberaya's number one gangster. The General continued, C-Tech as the developer of M.A.T.A.'s invention would move the goods to a more controlled location to keep them out of Komeng's reach, but there was a possibility that Komeng would intercept the goods transfer halfway through.
Ali asked what goods were so important to protect, and Jenny showed a diagram of the UAV-CUBE 3000 drone while explaining that it was an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled with special gloves; the General interrupted that it was a new technological weapon that was dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. The General assigned Bakar to the security section and Ali to surveillance. Ali complained that he was only given surveillance duties but the General scolded him to obey.
As soon as the General told Ali and Bakar to "act immediately," Alicia asked what her job was, making the General puzzled and Ali and Bakar were also interrupted. Jenny proposes that Alicia join Ali and Bakar to gain experience, but General objects because Alicia is still young. Alicia argues that she is the same age as Ali, and even more qualified than Ali because she has been training for years, while Ali joined M.A.T.A. simply because she wore I.R.I.S. In her argument, Alicia is mistaken in calling General 'papa', causing General to shout "Enough!" with resounding resounding, while Ali is puzzled why Alicia calls General father. General takes a deep breath and comments that there are enough raw kids on the mission, especially with 'masked troublemakers'. Finally, General shouts "Act immediately!" to Ali and Bakar who are still lingering after hearing the argument, so they move.
A C-Tech lorry carrying supplies of UAV-CUBE 3000 drones and accompanied by two police cars in front and behind enters the tunnel, is ambushed by a gang of Komeng motorcycle bandits. Four henchmen cut in front and threw a box of eggs at the police car's windshield, causing it to skid, while two more henchmen opened fire to knock down the police car behind. This opened up space for Komeng, who rode a large motorcycle into the tunnel from behind and pulled a saw blade from the motorcycle tire to break into the driver's compartment of the lorry, then threw the driver over and hijacked the lorry.
Komeng's gang took the lorry to their lair, where Komeng ordered his henchmen to unload the supplies and leave the lorry so as not to leave a trace. Ali and Bakar appeared and scolded the gang of bandits from the roof, and Komeng angrily dealt with their 'three' interruption; again the masked troublemaker appeared suddenly, revealing his face as Alicia while changing the color of his suit to yellow. Ali was shocked to see Alicia's true face and taunted her for taking the mission from him, and Bakar urged Alicia to back down but Alicia insisted on fighting because she felt she was more worthy than Ali even though she was not wearing I.R.I.S.
Ali, Bakar and Alicia went down to fight the bandits, and Komeng ordered his henchmen to beat them up. Ali rushed towards one of the henchmen and ducked to avoid being hit by a baton. Alicia fired her slingshot (Ballistic) at Ali, forcing Ali to duck again so that the bullet would hit the henchman. Ali chased after another henchman who attacked Bakar with an axe, but Alicia knocked the henchman down first and then knocked another who attacked Ali from behind.
Back at the base, Bakar was taken to the treatment room under Jenny's care, while Ali and Alicia were confronted by General Rama who scolded them for the fight that thwarted the mission, especially Alicia who disobeyed the ban on leaving and was therefore suspended from duty. Ali tried to explain his side's story but the General suspended him for disobeying orders. The General wanted to warn Ali and Alicia but was interrupted by Bakar's loud snoring, so he dispersed them immediately. Ali grimly headed for the exit while accepting Jenny's assurance that Bakar was fine, then turned to Alicia who had a sour face.
Ali returned to school for badminton practice. Viktor found Ali pulling a face every time he saw Alicia. Under the supervision of Puan Munah, Ali and Viktor played doubles against Alicia and Mia. Throughout the game, Ali was shrouded in feelings of resentment towards Alicia and did not focus on the game so much that he did not get any points. When Alicia's squad almost won, Viktor stopped and sat on the edge of the court next to (and making out with) Mia, leaving Ali and Alicia to play one-on-one. Ali got a chance to hug the eye and asked Viktor to help lift it so he could jump high to deflect the feather, but the feather flew out of the court. Hard to accept defeat, Ali threw down his racket and sat on a bench. He saw Alicia moving after receiving a signal on his phone and followed her.
At night, the Komeng bandit gang broke into the Cyberaya Bank with their stolen drones to loot the property until it was gone. Alicia also infiltrated to monitor their movements, then was surprised by Ali who distorted her face and tried to take the job from Alicia. Ali asked how Alicia knew about this robbery; she replied, she had hacked and connected the Cyberaya police network with her phone, then received the order when the bank was broken into. Ali openly admitted to doing the same, but Alicia angrily accepted Ali's participation as long as he did not mess up her mission; Ali once again claimed this mission for herself.
Ali and Alicia's argument attracted the attention of the Komeng gang, and Alicia blamed Ali for being exposed. Komeng and his henchmen control the drones to bombard them with lasers. Ali runs around dodging the shots, while Alicia tries to shoot down the drones but is hit by the protective shields attached to the drones. Ali runs to the bank lobby and tries to find a way to shoot down the drones, but runs into Alicia and they continue to wander. Komeng enjoys watching them in disarray and ignores the henchmen's request to leave after the looting is done.
Alicia fires smoke bombs with Ballistics to confuse Komeng's gang, then she and Ali hide behind the counter and ask to plan together. At first, Ali refuses because he wants to act alone and leave, but he is bombarded with drone shots and turns around and agrees to work together. Alicia plans for them not to shoot down the drones, but to work on the gang instead. Ali asks how since they can't get close; Alicia answers by taking out her Ballistics.
According to the plan, Ali goes to the front door of the bank to lure Komeng's gang. Alicia takes the opportunity to shoot down one of the henchmen, causing the drone she is controlling to fall once. Ali hid behind a wall and set up X-vision to look for an opportunity. Three drones came in a row passing in front, and Ali used his yoyo to poke the drone in the middle and cling to it, but this caused the drone to jerk around while shooting until it was shot here and there, knocking down many henchmen and drones but also disrupting Alicia's attempt to slingshot in the bank waiting room.
As she took aim again, Alicia was impressed by another drone that was shooting from the side, so she lured the drone to Ali's position. Ali ground the yoyo to create a shield while Alicia jumped behind Ali and slingshot at the drone's guard. Alicia lured the drone again and this time, Ali used the yoyo throw to poke the guard's gloves. After a short struggle, Ali was helped by Alicia who slingshot the bandit involved from the iron railing. Komeng aimed the drone's shot at Alicia and surrounded her, but was hit from behind by Ali who was riding another drone. Komeng quickly got up and realized that Ali had snatched his gloves. Angry that the robbery had been foiled, Komeng whistled on his motorcycle and ran away with his remaining accomplices.
Once again, Ali and Alicia are confronted by General Rama who scolds them for disobeying their suspension. Alicia tries to speak but is silenced by the General who refuses to listen to any excuses. Ali acts by admitting that he is responsible for tracking down the drones to make up for his mistake and begs the General to forgive Alicia. After considering, the General lowers his voice and orders them not to act as they please, even praising them for completing the mission and saying well done to Alicia.
Alicia asks why Ali is defending her, and Ali replies that he wants to repay the favor from the port, so they 'draw'. Alicia disagrees and says that she saved Ali's life back then, but this time Ali is just scolded for helping her, so she still owes him. Alicia also reminds Ali of the toilet cleaning fine. Ali is about to vent his anger after hearing Alicia's harsh words, but is surprised by Bakar who appears from the treatment room with Jenny. Jenny congratulates Ali for reclaiming the drones, and Bakar is excited and wonders if Ali is carrying out the mission alone; annoyed, Ali admits to going with Alicia. Bakar asked again if Ali was on good terms with Alicia, but Ali stormed out of the control room. Unbeknownst to them, their movements were being monitored by Dos and Trez who had installed spy devices on cockroaches in the control room.
