Kai knew he and BC could not battle two beasts alone. They needed help. He looked at the computer screen. There was a button flashing.

Kai clicked on the button.

‘We can see other Border Guard files now,' said Kai.

A list of names came onto the screen. One name was flashing.

‘We need to form a team to battle two beasts,' said Kai. ‘Let's see who this Jay Armstrong is.'

Kai clicked on Jay Armstrong. A Border Guard file came onto the screen.

‘This Border Guard has battled the mutant that we haven't. We need him!'

BC didn't reply. Kai turned to look at his buddy. BC's head was tilted to one side. He was staring at the screen. ‘You're staring at Jay's battle buddy,' said Kai with a smile.

‘It's a hawk,' said BC. ‘It doesn't need a jetpack to fly like I do.'

Kai patted BC's head and then said. ‘Every Border Guard has to have a battle buddy. But you're the best buddy a Captain could ever have!'

Then Kai's orb beeped.

‘You got an upgrade!' said Kai. ‘Scratch behind your ear.'

BC did and a jetpack popped out onto BC's back.

‘You can fly too now!' Kai said. ‘Whenever you want to.'

‘This will be handy in battle,' BC said.

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘This battle could be huge. I'm going to send Jay a battle call right now.'

Kai opened the keypad on his orb and turned on its mini computer. ‘All the Border Guards have been added to my orb already, BC.'

Kai found Jay Armstrong. Then he sent Jay a text message.

‘I've told him about the beasts,' said Kai. ‘And to meet us in the fire land.'

Kai's orb sounded again.

‘It's a text from Jay,' said Kai. ‘He says he's going to fly to the fire land in the Jet Tank 500. It holds lots of rocks. He's also going to bring a Dirt Blaster. He used it when he battled the mutant before.'

‘What about us?' asked BC.

Before Kai could answer he heard a noise behind him.

Kai turned around. ‘Look, BC,' he said. ‘The metal doors are opening.'

‘It's a new battle chamber,' BC said.

Kai walked into the chamber. ‘All our gadgets are here, BC,' he said. ‘And they've been upgraded with the new Battle-All-Tool.'

‘What's that?' asked BC.

‘I made it in the new science lab,' said Kai. ‘It means that we can now use any gadget in any land. The BAT makes sure we don't make things worse.'

‘And we won't make any more mutants,' said BC. ‘Look! All our rides are on that screen.'

Kai looked at the screen. ‘We can pick our ride here,' he said to BC. ‘Then it will be waiting for us on the take-off pad in the transport chamber.'

‘Let's pick our ride first then,' said BC.

Kai flicked through the rides on the touch screen. He stopped at the Ice Chopper.

‘This was good when we battled this mutant last time,' said Kai.

‘Yes,' said BC. Then he raced over to the gadgets. ‘We could take the Sword Ice Striker too.'

Kai joined BC and looked at all the gadgets. ‘I think the battle chains would be better,' said Kai. ‘We'll need to tie these beasts up!'

Kai went to take the chains but they wouldn't come off the wall.

A computer voice said

‘I guess everything will be in the transport chamber,' said Kai. ‘Now, let's go!'

Kai and BC took the lift to the transport chamber.

‘Our ride is ready,' said Kai. ‘Hop in, BC.'

Kai keyed in the codes for the fire land on his orb. The doors of the chamber slid open. The ice chopper shot out through the chamber's tunnel.
