Beasts were back in Beastium and toxic slime and mud was making its way to Earth. Kai and BC needed to get to the captain's room fast. It was a secret room that was hidden in the ground under the lighthouse.

‘Into the lift, BC,' said Kai.

BC ran into the lift. Then Kai said, ‘Underground level 2.'

The lift began to move down through the centre of the lighthouse. When it reached the captain's room its doors opened.

‘There are two beasts on the loose again,' said Kai.

‘Are they mutants or mega-mutants?' asked BC.

‘They didn't say,' said Kai.
‘But we're about to find out.'

Kai pushed his Border Captain Card into the slot and the computers started loading data straight away. An image popped onto the screen.

‘That's the beast from the mud land,' said BC. ‘But we washed that beast away into the water land.'

‘We did,' said Kai. ‘Tiny bits of mud and dirt were still floating in the water when we left the mud land though. Did something happen after we left?'

‘I don't know,' answered BC. ‘I hope not.'

Kai looked at the words on
the screen. ‘It doesn't say it's a mutant but it can't be the same beast we battled in the mud land.'

‘Unless it has come back together again,' said BC.

‘I'll check this beast on my captain's watch,' said Kai. ‘Then we'll know if it's the same or not.'

Kai quickly found the beast's name on his watch.
He tapped on the name and the strength rating appeared.

‘It's stronger than when we battled it in the mud land,' said Kai. ‘But it's not a mutant or a mega-mutant yet.'

‘It shouldn't be too hard to battle then,' said BC.

 

‘We've beaten it before.'

‘The other beast is loading on screen two now.' Kai turned to screen two. ‘It's another beast we haven't battled before. The head looks like the wind beast.'

‘But the body looks a bit like the water beast,' said BC.

‘This one could be a mutant,' said Kai. He found the beast on his watch and checked its rating.

‘It's still only a combo beast,' said Kai. ‘But why is a beast that's made from
the wind and water beasts in a mud land?'

‘It should be in the ice land,' said BC. ‘It doesn't make sense.'

‘It must be able to live in mud,' said Kai. ‘Something very strange is going on in Beastium.'

‘Will we need to call another Border Guard for help, then?' asked BC.

‘Yes,' answered Kai. ‘One of the beasts might change before we get there. If we have a team we will be ready for anything.'

Two combo beasts were back in Beastium. Kai knew he had to get them back into the Outlands quickly. He started looking through the battle files on the computer.

‘We need to find the Border Guard who battled the combo beast,' said Kai.

‘Look, one of the names is flashing,' said BC.

‘This guard lives on the water,' said Kai.

‘In a houseboat!' added BC.

Kai clicked on the name and the battle file came onto the screen.

‘The battle buddy is a cat,' said BC. ‘Cats are only good for chasing!'

‘Dogs and cats!' said Kai. ‘You'll have to work with this cat BC because this is the guard we need. I'll send Li a text message to meet us in the mud land. Then we'll get our gear and go.'

Kai sent Li a message from his orb.

 

Then he said, ‘Time to gear up.'

The metal doors at the back of the room slid open and Kai and BC walked into the battle chamber.

An image of the ice chopper was on the battle chamber screen.

‘We don't want that,' said Kai flicking through the rides. ‘We need something that can move through mud.'

Just then Kai's orb beeped

‘It's a text from Li,' said Kai. ‘He's coming in the Jet Stream 2W. He says it's even better than before.'

‘Did the catbot get any upgrades?' asked BC.

Kai patted BC's head and said, ‘Don't worry about the cat. We have bigger things to
chase right now.'

Kai saw the Sludgebot that he used in the mud land last time. ‘The BMC has added loads of upgrades to this, BC,' he said. ‘And it can join with Li's Jet Stream 2W. There's a gadget next to it.'

‘It says Heat-Zap Combo,' said BC. ‘It must be the Heat Blaster and the water land Super-Zap joined together.'

‘This is perfect for us,' said Kai and he hit the Sludgebot button. ‘Let's go, BC.'

Kai and BC took the lift to the transport chamber. The ride was waiting for them when the lift doors opened at the transport chamber's floor.

Kai put BC into the ride's cockpit. Then he climbed in after him. He keyed in the codes for the mud land on his orb.
The chamber doors opened and the Super Sludgebot shot out the tunnel to Beastium.
