new thing on wall three,â said BC.
âYes. Finally we get to use wall three. But there is still a screen covering it,â said Kai. âThatâs weird.â
Kai stepped up to wall three. As he did, the screen lifted slowly like a garage door.
âI donât get it,â said Kai. âThereâs no gear on the wall. Just two glass doors and a computer.â
Kai hit the demo button on the computer. A movie started playing. As Kai watched he said, âSo, two things go in one chamber. I put my orb in there too. When itâs done the new thing is in the other chamber.â
The demo movie finished. Then a new icon came onto the screen. âGear MashâUp,â said Kai. âWe are going to the rock land. Letâs put the X-Archer in there. We beat the rock beast with it last time.â
âAnd the blaster that can shoot other stuff now,â said BC.
Kai opened the first chamber. He put the foam blaster and the X-Archer inside.
Then he closed the door.
Kai hit the Gear Mash-Up button and waited. Then some words popped up on the screen.
Â
Â
Kai opened the other door. He took out the X-Foam Archer and looked at it. âItâs two in one!â said Kai. âAwesome.â
Then a computer voice said
Â
Â
âHey, thereâs something new in the transport chamber too,â said Kai.
âNew rides for us?â asked BC.
âSort of. Same rides but with new battle things,â said Kai.
âThatâs good,â said BC.
âI think we will need these new things,â said Kai. âBeastium has changed too.â
âMaybe beasts are new too,â said BC.
Kai and BC climbed the ladder to the slide. They took the slide to the transport chamber. The computer screen was already on. The words on the screen said
Â
Â
âWe pick a ride weâve had before,â Kai said to BC. âThen we add new gear to it. Better battle gear.â
âWhat about the sludge-bot we used in the mud land?â asked BC.
âThatâs a good idea,â said Kai. âIt could get muddy with water in a rock land. But we need to fly too. Letâs do the jet-drill we used in the volcano land.â
Kai hit the jet-drill button. The jet came up on the screen.
âWe can only pick two things,â said BC. âThe claw can pick up big rocks.â
Kai hit the claw button and the rock laser button. âThese two will be good.â he said. Then they heard a noise.
Â
Â
âPart of the floor is moving behind us again,â said BC. âHere comes our new jet. We drive it now with Border Guard Card.â
The new jet rose out from the hole in the floor. When it stopped Kai and BC jumped in. Kai put his card into the slot. He keyed the rock land code into his orb.
âAre you ready to go to the top of the lighthouse, BC?â asked Kai.
Before BC could answer a computer voice said
Â
Â
Kai looked up. The wall of the transport chamber slid open.
âItâs some kind of tunnel,â said Kai. Suddenly the jetâs engines fired up. âHold on!â said Kai. The jet shot out through the tunnel at top speed. Kai and BC were gone. To Beastium.
The jet flew across the rock land. Kai looked down for eggs or eggshells. âI canât see anything,â he said. âIâm going to use the heat-seeker. Maybe it can find the hatching eggs.â
âOrb is flashing,â said BC. Kai took the orb from the X-Foam Archer.
âGreat!â said Kai. âAll our arrows have ancient arrowheads now. Like the one we used to beat the rock beast.â
âWe only had one of those before. We have lots now,â said BC. âThatâs good.â
âYes. And the heat seeker has just found something.â
Kai tried to fly the jet closer to the ground. âI can see the eggs,â he said. âBut I canât get close enough. There are too many rocks and
