The lift doors opened and Kai ran onto the deck. âThe cloud is moving fast!â he said as he looked at the huge black cloud moving towards them in the sky.
âIs it a storm?â asked BC. âIs Earth safe?â
âI donât know,â said Kai.
âIâm going to send my orb out to get a sample.â
Kai took his orb from his pocket and hit the orbâs test sample button. Then he hit the button for the orb to fly.
He opened his hand and the orb flew off towards the cloud in the sky.
Hurry up, orb, thought Kai.
I donât like this at all.
Then everything went dark.
âThe cloud is right on top of us now but it is still moving towards the rock land,â said Kai.
âLook, here comes your orb,â said BC.
Kai opened his hand and the orb flew gently into it.
âBad news,â he said to BC.
âThe cloud has the flying toxic jellyfish pests from the mud land in it and they have the new cells as well.â
âAnd now theyâre on their way to the rock land,â said BC.
âWe have to go to the rock land instead, BC,â said Kai. âBefore that storm cloud does! We need another guard to help. Iâll send Ying Li a message.Sheâs just been made a Border Captain. Sheâs perfect to go to the mud land.â
Then Kaiâs orb beeped.
âItâs a message from the BMC,â said Kai.
âThey are testing the new cells. Theyâre calling them C-cells. They think they help make clones of things.
But other things need to be added. We need to find out what.â
âWeâd better get ready then,â said BC. âWe need our gear.â
âThe BMC has chosen the Jet Drill for us,â said Kai.âTheyâve added a pest spray to the Maxi-2 Heat Blaster. The jet and battle gear are waiting for us in the transport chamber.â
Kai and BC took the lift to the transport chamber.
When the lift reached the bottom floor the doors opened.
âIn you go, BC,â said Kai. He lifted BC into the Jet Drill.He strapped BCâs seat belt on. Then Kai climbed in beside him.
Kai checked the backseat for the Maxi-2 Heat Blaster and then keyed in the codes for the rock land.
âFiring up the engines now,â said Kai. The wall of the transport chamber slid open and the jet shot out the tunnel towards Beastium.
Kai and BC flew over big canyons and rocky cliffs. Toxic, yellow rain was pouring all over the rock land.
âThe storm cloud beat us here,â said Kai looking out at the rock land. The rain from the cloud is making pools and puddles everywhere.â
âLook, the colour of the land is changing,â said BC. âThe rain has turned the dusty red and brown land to a weird dark blue.â
âWhen the toxic yellow rain mixes with the rock dirt the colour must change,â said Kai. âAnd I bet thatâs not all that the cloud is changing here.â
âWe need to get rid of this cloud,â said BC.
âMaybe I can dry it up with the Maxi-2 Heat Blaster,â said Kai. He grabbed the upgraded gadget from the back seat and then he opened the cockpit.
Then, without warning, a massive swarm of pests flew from the cloud towards Kai and BC.
âTheyâre the flying jelly fish that we battled in the mud land last night,â said BC. And theyâre coming straight at us!â
âRight, said Kai. âWeâll worry about drying up the cloud later. Iâll hit the flying toxic jelly fish with the fly spray upgrade.â
âIâll fly out and hit them with my eye lasers,â said BC.
âGo get âem, boy!â said Kai.
BC took off towards the swarm. Kai took the jet off hover-mode and followed him, ready for battle.
But as Kai moved in closer, he noticed that the pests were dropping poo into the puddles below.
âBC!â Kai said. âLook down at the pools of water. Theyâre dropping poo into them and new pests are
