The jet flew across the rock land. Kai looked down for eggs or eggshells. ‘I can't see anything,' he said. ‘I'm going to use the heat-seeker. Maybe it can find the hatching eggs.'

‘Orb is flashing,' said BC. Kai took the orb from the X-Foam Archer.

‘Great!' said Kai. ‘All our arrows have ancient arrowheads now. Like the one we used to beat the rock beast.'

‘We only had one of those before. We have lots now,' said BC. ‘That's good.'

‘Yes. And the heat seeker has just found something.'

Kai tried to fly the jet closer to the ground. ‘I can see the eggs,' he said. ‘But I can't get close enough. There are too many rocks and mountains. I'll have to land.'

Kai landed the jet. Then he set it to stand-by. ‘I can call it with the orb if we need it now, BC,' he said.

Kai grabbed the orb and locked it into the X-Foam Archer. He put the Archer on his back. Then he grabbed his hover board. ‘Hop on, BC,' he said. ‘It's time to follow these egg shells and see where they lead.'

Kai and BC hovered above the eggshells. ‘The shells lead in there,' said Kai.

Kai pointed to two tall rock mountains. In-between the mountains was a narrow path. ‘We have to go through those mountains,' said Kai. ‘The track is small but we can fit.'

Kai and BC moved slowly onto the path. ‘It's too dark in here,' said BC. ‘I'll use my laser light tail.'

BC's tail lit up the space.

Suddenly there was a terrible noise.

 

 

Then rock bats flew at them from everywhere. ‘There's so many of them,' Kai said. ‘And more are coming.'

‘Watch out,' said BC. ‘They're dropping slime! I'll get them with my eye lasers.' BC hit the bats one by one with his lasers.

I've seen that slime before,
thought Kai. He took his orb from the X-Foam Archer. He hit a button. A metal arm shot out from the orb. The arm scooped up some slime. Then it went back inside the orb. Kai waited for the screen to flash.

I knew it!
he thought as he looked at the screen.

It's the slime from the water land. But why is it here?
thought Kai.

‘Top job with the bats, BC,' said Kai. But something strange is going on here.'

‘Very strange,' said BC. ‘But it's safe to go out now.'

But then BC's tail began to wag. ‘Beast is coming,' he said.

‘Where?' asked Kai.

‘There,' said BC. ‘Look!'

BC pointed to a pile of rocks. Kai saw the rocks move. He checked his orb.

Kai loaded an arrow into the X-Foam Archer. ‘It has an ancient arrowhead on it.'

Kai got ready to shoot. He was about to let go of the arrow when he heard a loud noise.

 

 

‘Watch out!' said Kai.

Rocks and dirt flew from where the beast was standing. They crashed to the ground. A pile of smoke and dust filled the air.

Then BC's tail wagged like crazy.

‘What is it, BC? I can't see through the dust.'

‘Big danger ahead,' said BC. They both waited for the dust to clear. And then Kai saw it. ‘What is that thing?' asked Kai. ‘I've never seen anything like it. This is bad.'

Standing where the rock beast had been was a beast with two heads. Kai grabbed his orb and took a photo. Kai waited for the card to come on his screen.

‘Why is it taking so long?' asked Kai.

‘Maybe orb is mixed up too,' said BC.

At last a card popped up.

‘A mutant beast!' said Kai. ‘What is that?'

‘Mix-up of some beasts,' said BC. ‘The heads are rock beast
and
water beast.'

‘How do we battle it?' asked Kai.

BC's tail wagged again. ‘No!' said Kai. ‘Now what?'

‘Beast won against the rock beast,' said BC. ‘So it can grow. Look!'

Kai took another photo with his orb. He looked at the card and began to think.

‘Four arms,' said BC. ‘Two can shoot things like the rock beast. How did this happen?' asked BC.

‘I think we did it,' said Kai. ‘When we battled beasts we mixed the worlds. We used water on the rock beast. We used ice on the fire beast. We mixed things up. Now the beasts are mixed up too.'

‘This is bad,' said BC.

‘Very bad,' said Kai. ‘No more mixing. We must battle with rocks, dirt and dust only.'

Then the beast lifted its arms. ‘It's getting ready to attack. Quick, let's go.'

Kai and BC hovered up high above the beast. But they weren't quick enough. The beast blasted them with rocks and water.

‘A rock and water hurl,' said BC. He shot at the rocks with his laser eyes.

Kai fired arrows at the rocks and split them apart. But the water was too strong. ‘It's pushing us back, BC. I can't stop it!' Kai said.

The beast let out a huge roar.
