‘I'm turning on my force field bubble,' said BC. ‘It will go around both of us.'

‘The water is pushing us into the mountains,' said Kai.

‘We will be safe there,' said BC.

But BC was wrong. The beast came after them.

Kai blasted the beast with rocks with the X-Foam Archer. He fired arrows at the same time. ‘This mashed-up gear is good,' he said. ‘I can fire everything at once.'

Then the beast got mad. It let out a huge growl.

 

 

The walls around Kai and BC shook. ‘It's coming!' said BC.

The huge rock crashed down into the beast's open mouth. Suddenly everything stopped. ‘It worked,' said BC. ‘It's all plugged up.'

Kai looked out at the beast. Its firing arms were stuffed with rock. Its serpent mouth was filled with dirt.

Its dragon mouth was filled with dirt and dust. And its rock head was jammed with a huge rock. The beast's legs were shaking. Then it slowly fell to the ground.

‘It doesn't have any more attacks left in it,' said Kai. ‘But we can't leave it here.'

‘No,' said BC. ‘The beast is plugged up now but it might not stay that way.'

‘I'm going to land the jet and take a look,' said Kai.

The jet touched down not far from the beast. Kai grabbed the X-Foam Archer. ‘Just in case,' he said to BC. Then they walked over to the beast.

‘My orb just flashed,' said Kai as he looked at the orb's screen. ‘It's like a land picture. But it's not any land we've been to. I don't know it.'

Kai pressed the button and some words came up on the screen. ‘The BMC says we have to take it to the Outlands,' said Kai. ‘I didn't think that place was real.'

‘How do we do it?' asked BC.

‘With the upgrade on your collar. The BMC say you have a ray cage now. I'll activate it and then you can work it.'

Kai activated the upgrade. Red beams of light shot out from BC's collar. They went around the beast.

‘It's in the ray cage now,' said BC. ‘I can lift it up. The cage is joined to my collar by the red beam. I know how to get to the beast gate. But I need my jet pack.'

‘Stay there,' said Kai. Kai went back to the jet.

He got the jet pack and put it on BC. ‘Ready?'

‘Yes,' said BC. ‘Follow me.'

Kai got back into the jet. He fired up its engines. He followed BC to the Outlands.

When BC reached the beast gate he stopped. ‘Send a message to the BMC on the orb,' he said to Kai. ‘Tell them we are at the gate.'

Kai keyed in ‘At beast gate' on his orb. The gate in the wall began to slide open. ‘Be quick,' said Kai. ‘The orb says you only have a few seconds. Then it will close.'

BC pushed the beast through the gate. When the cage was safely inside Kai turned it off. They watched as the beast fell into the Outlands. The gate closed.

‘We did it, BC,' said Kai. ‘The beast is locked away behind the wall for good.'

‘Our work is done here, BC,' said Kai. ‘Home time now.'

BC climbed back into the jet. ‘Beast can't get out now,' he said.

‘No,' said Kai ‘He's in the Outlands. And we only battled with dirt and rock in the rock land.'

‘No mixing up,' said BC.

‘No mixing up,' said Kai. Kai hit the button on the orb for home. The jet shot off into the sky. It went back to the lighthouse.

‘The lands are safe now,' said Kai. ‘Earth is safe from mutants.'

But was it?
