The ice chopper bounced around in strong winds.

‘We are in the wind land,' said Kai. He looked at the dashboard. ‘The GPS map says we are very close to the border.'

Then Kai looked at the temp. ‘We're nearly in the ice border land but it's not that cold, BC.'

‘Should be colder,' said BC. ‘The rain is making it hard to see.'

‘Yes, the rain is very heavy,' said Kai. ‘Things are really messed up in Beastium now.'

Suddenly BC's tail began to wag. ‘Trouble coming,' the dogbot said.

‘Where?' asked Kai.

Out of nowhere came a group of flying beasts. ‘They look like the jelly fish from the water land,' said Kai. ‘But they're flying. And they're headed straight for us!'

‘They're hurling toxic fireballs,' said BC. ‘The fire is green like the slime from the water land.'

‘Toxic fire,' said Kai. ‘That fire-slime can't hit the ice chopper. It will burn right through it. I'll hit them with slushy ice-dumps.'

‘And I can get some with my eye lasers,' said BC.

Kai put BC's jet pack on. Then he opened the cockpit.

BC flew out of the chopper. He shot his lasers at the flying pests. One by one they fell away.

‘Good dog!' yelled Kai as he got the last ones with slushy ice. ‘Test range practice has made you an excellent shot!'

BC flew back into the ice chopper. Then Kai closed the cockpit.

‘The ice land is just ahead,' said BC pointing.

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘And the temp is dropping. That's good.'

There was water all along the border between the wind and the ice land. They flew into the ice land.

‘Look,' said BC. ‘The temp is going up instead of down. It's getting hotter!'

‘That's very strange,' said Kai. ‘And there's so much water here. But it's still too cold for ice to melt by itself.'

Then Kai saw something moving on the ice.

‘It's an ice-land beast,' he said. ‘But what is it battling?'

Kai quickly took a photo of the ice beast on his orb.

The beast it was battling looked like a snake. It sat up on its two tails and swung its head at the ice beast.

‘It has little wings,' said BC. ‘Do you think it can fly?'

‘I don't know,' said Kai. ‘But it must not win. If it does, it will change into something bigger. Remember the last battle?'

Kai took a photo on his orb. A card popped up on the screen.

‘I'll swoop down and try to get it away from the ice beast,' said Kai. ‘You try to get it with your eye lasers.'

‘It's shooting fire from its wing tips,' BC said. ‘It's melting the ice and the ice beast.'

BC flew out from the chopper. He circled around the mutant beast. Then he fired his eye lasers.

The beast growled.

 

 

Then it flicked its two tails and smashed the ice. Kai flew around the mutant's head. This made the beast very mad. It opened its mouth and let out a massive spray.

‘Watch out, BC,' Kai shouted. ‘It has toxic breath.'

Kai and BC both moved away from the beast. But toxic breath hit the ice beast. The ice beast fell.

The mutant beast growled once more.

It slammed its two tails down hard on the melting ice. The ice cracked open.

‘Oh no,' said Kai.

‘The ice beast is going to fall through the cracks.'

‘It's been hit with the toxic gas,' said BC. ‘The mutant beast has won.'

The ice beast fell between the cracks in the ice. Kai and BC watched as the baby beast changed. There was nothing they could do to stop it.

The beast began to spin. Fire flew out onto the ice. Then the beast stopped and rose up into the air. ‘Look at its wings,' said Kai. ‘They're massive and they look like they're on fire!'

‘It has three tails now and they are longer and stronger,' said BC.

‘Its head is a mix of the fire, water and air beasts.'

Kai took a photo on his orb. Then a card popped onto the screen.

‘This one is shooting heaps of fire from its wing tips,' said Kai. ‘We must beat this beast quickly. The ice land must not melt.'

‘But we can only battle with ice,' said BC. ‘This is going to be hard.'

The beast hovered in front of the chopper. Then it flapped its huge wings. ‘It's a fire-wave attack!' said Kai.

Kai hit the slushy button. Ice slush flew out from the chopper's roof. As it hit the beast it turned to water.

Then the beast lifted its largest tail. With one quick flick the tail wrapped around BC. The dogbot was caught.
