Kai and BC stood in the transport chamber. They were looking at the computer screen.
âWe need a flying ride for a wind land,â said BC.
âWe do,â said Kai. âBut it doesnât have to be a jet.â
âWhat else can fly?â asked BC as he looked at the screen.
âWhat about the charge-bot?â asked Kai. âWe can add good wind battling gear to it.â
Kai hit the button for the charge-bot.
Kai waited for a new image to come onto the screen.
âThree things!â said Kai. âBut what? Dirt and rock are in the wind land now.â
âCan we battle with dirt and rock as well then?â asked BC.
âNo,â said Kai. âWe canât bring dirt and rock into the wind land. But we can use the dirt and rock that is already there. So letâs take the rock changer. It must take the rock and dirt from the wind land and change them into something. Better for the wind land.â
âGood. We can clean the wind land up,â said BC. âAnd we can hit the beastâs rocks with the swat. Itâs like a big baseball glove. What do you think the sucker does?â
âIâm not sure,â said Kai. âBut I think we have to take it. We canât use water jets in a wind land.â
Kai hit the button for the three add-ons. Then he and BC waited. Soon the new ride came on the screen.
âIt looks awesome,â said Kai. âWe will be able to battle well with this one, BC.â Then he turned to watch part of the floor behind him open up. âHere it comes, BC.â
Kai and BC watched the new SC2-bot rise up in front of them. âHey, look, BC,â said Kai. âItâs holding your jet pack in its swat hand.â
âGood,â said BC. âIâll need it.â Just then Kaiâs orb beeped.
Kai took his orb out of his pocket. He looked at the screen.
âWeâre going to take the lift,â said Kai. âPut your jet pack on and climb in.â
Kai and BC sat in the new SC2-bot. The lift doors closed around them.
Then they went straight up to the top of the lighthouse.
The SC2-bot stood on the take-off pad. Kai keyed in the codes for the wind land. Then he hit the light button on his orb.
The lighthouse roof opened. The take-off pad filled with light. The light shot up into the sky. It took Kai, BC and the SC2-bot to the wind land.
The SC2-bot dropped down into the wind land with a bump. âThese winds are wild,â said Kai. âItâs hard to drive straight.â
âItâs blowing like crazy,â said BC. Then his tail began to wag. And Kai could see why.
âItâs a massive red dust storm,â said Kai. âAnd itâs coming straight at us.â
âLooks like a big wall of red dirt,â said BC.
âA wild wall,â said Kai. âItâs strange that the dirt is red. We canât go around it. And we canât go under it. Weâre going to have to go through it.â
Suddenly the dust storm closed in on them.
âI canât see a thing,â said Kai. âAnd itâs tossing us about.â
Before they knew it the bot was upside down.
âWe have to get out of this, BC,â said Kai. âWeâre going down. Iâm going to try the sucker.â
Kai hit the sucker button on the dashboard. There was a loud noise.
âItâs sucking up the dust!â said BC.
âAnd look at the dashboard,â said Kai. âItâs storing it in the bot.â
âIt turns the dust into something else,â said BC. âLike the rock changer does.â
âYes,â said Kai looking at the dust change button. âBut I wonder what? No time for that now. We have some cleaning up to do.â
Kai flew the bot and BC drove the sucker hand. It sucked up dust wherever he pointed it. Soon the wind land skies were blue again.
âNow it looks more like the wind land we know,â said Kai.
