Plot[]
After being badly beaten in a fight with Agent Rizwan, Ali rose with Override Mode activated in I.R.I.S. Ali beat Rizwan with a yoyo and lunged repeatedly. Moon was excited to see Override Mode but Iman was restless. Dos took the opportunity to escape by rushing to the elevator, but was stopped by Moon and Iman. Moon produced a clone to distract Dos, then slapped Dos in the face until he was thrown up. Iman then pulled Dos down with his scarf. Khai after struggling managed to fix R-O from the effects of Override Mode, and R-O ran around in a panic. Rizwan tried to pinch Ali but his hand was tied with a yoyo rope and thrown until he hit a box. Dos avoided being hit by Iman's scarf but was also knocked down by Ali's yoyo. He got up and continued running and collided with Khai who was picking up R-O.
Khai greeted Ali by complaining about R-O's problems. Suddenly Ali acted to hit Khai with a yoyo, shocking Moon, Iman and Agent Bakar. Dos was still running towards the elevator but was tripped by Ali's yoyo and thrown. Ali approached Dos, then pushed away by Moon who scolded him for abusing Khai. Ali remained silent and hit Moon. Iman attacked Ali with her scarf equipped with a Meteor Hammer but was parried with a yoyo. Bakar, lying on his back, turned around and was restless seeing Ali abusing his friends. Comot came to persuade Ali but was retaliated with a punch as well. Iman got angry and increased the power of his Meteor Hammer to fight Ali, but Ali caught the Meteor Hammer and attacked Iman with a spin of his yoyo.
Rizwan came to carry Dos and they got on the elevator together. At Bakar's call, Agent Geetha gave her colleagues the Neo Enhancer boost. Ali rushed after Rizwan and Dos who had already got on the elevator, but were held by Bakar. As the elevator sank, Rizwan felt sorry for Ali struggling to escape being held. Agent Leon calmed Ali with a sedative from his Revolver.
Rizwan and Dos hid in a dilapidated apartment building on the outskirts of the city. Rizwan questioned its location, so Dos explained that this was not the place to meet Uno but just the location of the emergency communication system in case of trouble. Dos also took out a mobile computer hidden on the floor and said that if Cuatro had really appeared, then it meant that Uno had sent a call signal recently. Rizwan wondered if the device could be used to contact Uno, so Dos stepped forward and explained that he could only respond to the signal and that Uno alone was the decider. Rizwan interrupted and reprimanded Dos for wasting his time, so Dos reminded him that Rizwan, as Uno's best student, should get to know him better. While pressing a button hidden under the table, Dos asked Rizwan why he wanted to meet Uno, so Rizwan said that it had nothing to do with Dos.
General Rama faced the M.A.T.A. Core Leaders and expressed his regret and confusion over the betrayal of Agent Rizwan, who had been thought to be so loyal to the agency, and even admitted to being fully responsible for the incident. The Tekno Core Leader thanked Rama for Rama's report and asked to discuss the next course of action. The General nodded and left the discussion room.
The Core Leaders convene via hologram link. The Kombat Core Leader, Ganz, scolds the Tekno Core Leader, Dayang for telling Rizwan about their dark story. Dayang defends her actions on the grounds that Rizwan has a right to know because he was almost killed defending the agency. Ganz complains that Rizwan has difficulty controlling his emotions after finding out. Dayang admits that the relationship between Rizwan and Djin is closer than expected.
Ganz snaps at the Neuro Core Leader, Zain, worried that Rizwan will join the Djin who are already feared to be resurgent. Zain argues that Rizwan must have a reason for acting like that, explaining that Rizwan is similar to the Djin in that they like to act alone, and do not even feel that Rizwan has defected but instead has other plans. Ganz curses Zain for being crazy as if he is willing if they just wait and see what happens next. Zain plans to send a team to track down Rizwan and another team to check for sources that can provide clues and re-examine Rizwan's activity logs. Ganz asks to share information because he can't wait to see his "old friend" again.
Dayang also asks if they should continue developing the I.R.I.S. separator for Ali's sake. Ganz firmly agrees because he feels it's time to stop this "nonsense plan". Zain, on the other hand, plans to give Ali one last chance.
Ali woke up from unconsciousness in the treatment room. He was surprised to be greeted with anger by Jet, Chris, Roza and Mika who had just been talking to Moon in the next bed. Rudy also came and questioned Ali's actions in hurting Khai, Moon and Iman. Ali saw Moon complaining and Khai and Iman who were still unconscious, all injured, then remembered that he had activated Override Mode and began to apologize to his friends. Jet thought Ali was acting, while Roza accused Ali of being an enemy spy. Ali denied all of that, so Mika asked again why he hit them.
Ali tried to explain that he was controlled by Override Mode, but the explanation was met with cynical laughter because it was hard to believe. Jet was amused to hear Ali blame the gadget, while Roza wondered why he didn't blame his cat. Rudy even disputed the fact that I.R.I.S. wanted to be rude to people all of a sudden. Ali explained that it also happened when he fought Uno before. Rudy got angry, thinking that Ali wanted to act strong and pushed him down. He said again, it was better for Ali not to become an agent than to expect too much from I.R.I.S. Jet agreed with Rudy and told Ali to go away. Ali ran away in tears from the treatment room. Alicia happened to pass by, and she also looked at Ali with pity.
Rizwan paced back and forth in the hiding place waiting for Dos to finish his work, even questioning whether Dos was important enough for Uno to come to him. Dos reminded him that he already knew everything about Rizwan, including that Djin was the only person he considered like his own family, but unfortunately that didn't make Rizwan important to Uno.
At the same time, a small crowd of Microbugs suddenly appeared and tried to capture Rizwan but were able to avoid them. Dos tried to attack Rizwan, but Rizwan immediately subdued Dos. Ocho crashed into the wall and suddenly released another crowd of Microbugs towards Rizwan. Dos told Ocho to attack again, but this time Rizwan managed to break it with a lollipop stick. Dos knocked Ocho down with a Shox Stix and went to fight Rizwan himself. Rizwan pinches Dos' back and urges him to keep his promise. Dos refuses, so Rizwan is about to pinch again, but is suddenly hit by a football.
Seis and Siete, football-themed twins who are members of Numeros, appear. They pass the ball to each other to confuse Rizwan. Rizwan is able to dodge every pass, but once Seis kicks the ball hard enough to increase its power to emit electromagnetic waves to knock Rizwan down. Rizwan, who is stunned, is surrounded by Dos and other Numeros members, and Siete is even ready to celebrate the "goal" and mock "M.A.T.A.'s best agent." Cinco appears, sarcastically saying that Rizwan is not the smartest agent. Rizwan is shocked to meet his former agent friend again, who also mocks him for trying to defeat Uno alone. Rizwan admits that he only wants to meet Uno, but Cinco does not believe him and thinks that Rizwan has just come to order his death.
Ali sobbed on the stairs of the observation tower in the M.A.T.A. Academy arena, then acted to throw I.R.I.S. from there. I.R.I.S. fell close to Agent Zain's feet, so Ali also flinched and came down to apologize. Zain scolded Ali for wanting to give up even though he had said he would be able to help people with I.R.I.S. Ali remained silent with a gloomy face, then Zain began to explain why I.R.I.S. was developed.
Zain told that the M.A.T.A. agency was established to protect Cyberaya, and to achieve that goal, its members were equipped with advanced Mainframe technology and connected to the Cyberaya central network which was the master of all the systems used in the city. Ali asked if the central one was the grid, then Zain confirmed that and explained further that to monitor all activities and information received by the agents, the Mainframe was only accessed through the computer at the M.A.T.A. headquarters. He added that the increasing enemy threat made it difficult for M.A.T.A. to carry out its duties, especially with a limited number of members, hence the idea to upgrade the agency's agents.
Ali is intrigued by the term "upgrade". Zain then explains that it is a "wearable device loaded with the most advanced hardware and software, which enhances the senses beyond the capabilities of the average human brain". Ali is confused by the terminology, so Zain continues to point out I.R.I.S. as what he means and gives a simpler explanation that it is "glasses that make the wearer a super-agent". Ali finally understands, and Zain complains that I.R.I.S. should be the pride of M.A.T.A, but Djin has other agendas.
In a flashback, Zain confronts Djin in the simulation training room and accuses him of creating a backdoor in I.R.I.S. to gain direct access to the Mainframe. Djin admits to doing so, so Zain condemns him for trying to access all the systems in Cyberaya. Djin defends his actions on the grounds that he wants to keep the city safe, even warning that every new discovery is always followed by more terrible threats such as viruses and terrorists, all as a result of Cyberaya "leading the way".
Zain is clear that Djin wants to control everything as a solution and continues to call Djin out of control. Djin says M.A.T.A. cannot save Cyberaya if it "pursues its own destruction", so Zain reminds Djin not to be greedy for power because the duty of M.A.T.A. agents is as protectors, not rulers, in fact Djin's modifications have caused incidents that endanger the lives of agents. Finally, Zain wants the I.R.I.S. project to be stopped immediately due to Djin's breach of trust. Djin of course objects and reminds Zain not to regret it later.
Zain tells Ali that M.A.T.A. has tried to act appropriately to stop Djin (Uno), but the enemy has risen again when I.R.I.S. happened to fall into Ali's hands. Those words make Ali smile a little. Zain even tells him that Ali is caught up in M.A.T.A.'s battle against Uno and Numeros, so Ali complains that he does not deserve to be in the agency. Therefore, Zain persuaded Ali by reminding him of how many people he had helped and how many lives Ali had saved.
Ali recalled his past services as a member of M.A.T.A. with I.R.I.S, for example when freeing Comot from an illegal experiment, saving his father from Dr. Aaron, and also saving Alicia from being exposed to the Azurium reactor. Zain advised that everything that happens has a reason and fate cannot be chosen, but people can choose the actions they want to take. He added that Zain had long observed Ali's actions during missions, and Ali was not like other agents because he was always concerned and even grew stronger when fighting for others, therefore Ali was more worthy than he thought, just like an old acquaintance of Zain.
Rizwan continued to fight with the Numeros members. He fought each other with Dos, dodging Microbug attacks controlled by Ocho, and even withstanding the blows of Seis and Siete's balls, until Siete tripped Rizwan with a sliding tackle-like movement. Rizwan woke up exhausted and asked to stop fighting. Seis did not listen and hit Rizwan again with his ball. Rizwan said he wanted to deliver a message, then Dos jumped on him under Cinco's supervision and scolded him for not speaking up sooner. Swallowed by the heated Microbug crowd, Rizwan said he already knew the real story, but Cinco did not care and said goodbye.
Fortunately, Uno appeared and called for Rizwan to be released, so Microbug took Rizwan down and calmed down. Rizwan admitted that Uno was telling the truth about the past events of the M.A.T.A. Core Leaders. Zain admitted that there had never been a trustworthy agent to use I.R.I.S. until Ali appeared. Uno asked why Rizwan wanted to meet him, so Rizwan knelt down and stated his desire to fight alongside Uno. Zain reminded Ali that Uno would be able to control all of Cyberaya if he obtained I.R.I.S., so he vowed that they must work together to save Cyberaya. Rizwan also vowed to abolish M.A.T.A, so Uno embraced him and expressed his approval.
