QTee looks at you. “I can also load the launcher with one more bomb. It is a weapon of last resort. You can take a TD bomb or an earthquake bomb.”

You are swept out of the underground caverns onto the surface of Fireworld. Behind you there are enormous explosions as the TD bomb continues its deadly work. Cracks open up on the surface of the planet, lava erupts, shooting hundreds of metres into the air. The core of the planet is being released — Fireworld is being consumed. What Vulkana planned for Earth is happening to her world!
“Teleport!” you order.
A white light surrounds you and you are back in the OPS room in Area 61.
QTee and the agents are waiting for you.
You tell them of your adventure.
“It seems you succeeded,” says QTee. “All Earth’s volcanoes have returned to their dormant state. You’ve stopped the invasion.”
You give QTee Vulkana’s Staff of Power. He breaks it open and takes out the crystal. “I’ll get this put into the DART suit.”
“You need to,” you reply. “I think Tyranno is going to be very annoyed with us. What is he going to send next time?”
You succeeded! You are a hero!
Thanks to you, Earth is safe…
…for the time being…

Your quest is to defeat Tyranno. But he is sending Arktos, evil ruler of Iceworld, to attack Earth. Use your DART suit to travel across space to destroy Arktos and his alien forces. Capture his Staff of Power and use it to upgrade your DART suit. But will YOU make the right choices to get that far?
You are the hero of this book.
Only you can decide your own destiny…
You are taking a test flight in the DART suit over the forests that surround Area 61, the mountain HQ of Earth Defence. You are testing the suit’s new fire weapon controls by sending streams of flames shooting across the sky.
Suddenly from out of nowhere, a huge snow cloud forms around you. The temperature plunges as a raging snowstorm erupts. Icy winds blow you around like a rag doll. Ice begins to form on the DART suit.
“DART systems failing,” warns the suit’s computer.
