Plot

Alicia is entrusted with the I.R.I.S., formerly wielded by Ali who is now testing Project S.A.T.R.I.A., Tekno head Dayang's artificially intelligent bodysuit trained on data from M.A.T.A.'s pillars. Dato Othman appoints his niece Elle and head of security Amir as the replacement Inviso and Neuro heads respectively. After training, Ali declines a request from Rizwan, no longer an agent and now joined by former Numeros members Dos and Trez, to leak M.A.T.A. documents about Numeros mastermind Cero.

At home, Ali is blackmailed by Neonimus—an expelled former M.A.T.A. Academy agent with the ability to remotely access electronics—into leaking all the M.A.T.A.'s agents identities, arranging an attack on the Cyberaya SMART Tunnel. M.A.T.A. arranges an infiltration on Neonimus utilising him and Ali's battle to trial S.A.T.R.I.A. where Alicia saves the others from Neonimus' spider robots. The agents are then assigned to capture Neonimus in an amusement park as he prepares another attack there. Neonimus captures Alicia, and hacks into the S.A.T.R.I.A. suit. After Alicia receives a premonition of S.A.T.R.I.A. destroying M.A.T.A. from I.R.I.S., Ali prepares to kill Neonimus but is intercepted by General Rama. Meanwhile, Rizwan's team go to the ruined Numeros lair to retrieve records about Neonimus.

Having himself detained, Neonimus uploads his virus into the M.A.T.A. headquarters, allowing Cero to control its electronics, forcing the pillar heads to evacuate to a nearby island. Alicia is given back I.R.I.S. by Rama who initially wanted to return it to Dayang. Ali decides to equip S.A.T.R.I.A. despite the risk of Cero overriding the already-compromised suit, turning Ali against the agents in the base including Alicia. Beaten, Alicia hands Ali the I.R.I.S., pleading him to defeat S.A.T.R.I.A. before Cero transfers her into it. Cero tells Ali his plans to liberate Cyberaya by undermining their leadership who would retreat to the island, and that Alicia was transferred due to higher compatibility with S.A.T.R.I.A. Neonimus escapes, but is tased by Dos who arrives with Trez and Rizwan, and encourages Ali to save Cyberaya from Cero with I.R.I.S.

Trez disconnects Neonimus' seized console from M.A.T.A's systems. At the island, Dayang reminds Amir and Elle of S.A.T.R.I.A.'s location, denouncing their decision to stay behind with Othman; Ali stops Trez from destroying the console, and reverse-engineers Neonimus' program to create an antivirus against Cero with I.R.I.S. and one of his spider robots. Cero confronts Rizwan's group, revealing that he begun detonating Cyberaya's central reactor, which would cause a chain explosion with the nearby underwater Azurium reserves, threatening the city unbeknownst to Cyberjaya's governors who would be hiding in the island bunker. Ali overrides I.R.I.S. to halt the detonation, and ends up reaching S.A.T.R.I.A.'s dimension, where he witnesses an unconscious Alicia at S.A.T.R.I.A.'s core.

Cero fights Ali then absorbs the pillar heads' data from S.A.T.R.I.A. before tormenting him with his past traumatic experiences. However, Alicia escapes from the core; the two make amends then materialise various objects to overpower Cero. Ali deploys the antivirus robot, opening a black hole consuming the core alongside Cero. As they try to escape, Cero attempts to drag Ali into the black hole with him, but Alicia lets herself be absorbed to help Ali escape, emerging from the damaged suit. Dayang fails to archive S.A.T.R.I.A. as Othman rescinds her position as Tekno head, transferring management of S.A.T.R.I.A. to him due to its risks.

After the examinations, Ali visits an amnesiac Alicia in the hospital to return I.R.I.S. to her. She is then welcomed by General Rama and her adoptive family members. Rizwan hands Neonimus' console containing his plans and communication logs to Dayang and Ganz. Meanwhile, Ali tries to access Alicia's older records but is restricted due to insufficient clearance.
