Beasts were back in Beastium and toxic slime and mud was making its way to Earth. Kai and BC needed to get to the captainâs room fast. It was a secret room that was hidden in the ground under the lighthouse.
âInto the lift, BC,â said Kai.
BC ran into the lift. Then Kai said, âUnderground level 2.â
The lift began to move down through the centre of the lighthouse. When it reached the captainâs room its doors opened.
âThere are two beasts on the loose again,â said Kai.
âAre they mutants or mega-mutants?â asked BC.
âThey didnât say,â said Kai.âBut weâre about to find out.â
Kai pushed his Border Captain Card into the slot and the computers started loading data straight away. An image popped onto the screen.
âThatâs the beast from the mud land,â said BC. âBut we washed that beast away into the water land.â
âWe did,â said Kai. âTiny bits of mud and dirt were still floating in the water when we left the mud land though. Did something happen after we left?â
âI donât know,â answered BC. âI hope not.â
Kai looked at the words onthe screen. âIt doesnât say itâs a mutant but it canât be the same beast we battled in the mud land.â
âUnless it has come back together again,â said BC.
âIâll check this beast on my captainâs watch,â said Kai. âThen weâll know if itâs the same or not.â
Kai quickly found the beastâs name on his watch.He tapped on the name and the strength rating appeared.
âItâs stronger than when we battled it in the mud land,â said Kai. âBut itâs not a mutant or a mega-mutant yet.â
âIt shouldnât be too hard to battle then,â said BC.
Â
âWeâve beaten it before.â
âThe other beast is loading on screen two now.â Kai turned to screen two. âItâs another beast we havenât battled before. The head looks like the wind beast.â
âBut the body looks a bit like the water beast,â said BC.
âThis one could be a mutant,â said Kai. He found the beast on his watch and checked its rating.
âItâs still only a combo beast,â said Kai. âBut why is a beast thatâs made fromthe wind and water beasts in a mud land?â
âIt should be in the ice land,â said BC. âIt doesnât make sense.â
âIt must be able to live in mud,â said Kai. âSomething very strange is going on in Beastium.â
âWill we need to call another Border Guard for help, then?â asked BC.
âYes,â answered Kai. âOne of the beasts might change before we get there. If we have a team we will be ready for anything.â
Two combo beasts were back in Beastium. Kai knew he had to get them back into the Outlands quickly. He started looking through the battle files on the computer.
âWe need to find the Border Guard who battled the combo beast,â said Kai.
âLook, one of the names is flashing,â said BC.
âThis guard lives on the water,â said Kai.
âIn a houseboat!â added BC.
Kai clicked on the name and the battle file came onto the screen.
âThe battle buddy is a cat,â said BC. âCats are only good for chasing!â
âDogs and cats!â said Kai. âYouâll have to work with this cat BC because this is the guard we need. Iâll send Li a text message to meet us in the mud land. Then weâll get our gear and go.â
Kai sent Li a message from his orb.
Â
Then he said, âTime to gear up.â
The metal doors at the back of the room slid open and Kai and BC walked into the battle chamber.
An image of the ice chopper was on the battle chamber screen.
âWe donât want that,â said Kai flicking through the rides. âWe need something that can move
