‘It has three heads now,' said Kai.

‘Yes,' said BC. ‘With toxic breath, rocks and fire coming from them. And look at those fireballs coming from its claws! You were right about fire in this beast. And the winds will make its fire bigger.'

‘But we can suck the fire and wind away with the sucker,' said Kai. ‘Suck its air away. Fire dies when it has no air.'

But before they could plan more, a burning rock hit the bot's chest. And more were coming.

Kai watched as a huge fire and wind attack hit the bot. It was blasted down towards the border-wall.

‘Quick, BC,' said Kai. ‘We have to get back into the cockpit. We need to take control of the bot again.'

But Kai couldn't see BC.

Oh no,
thought Kai.
Where is he?
Then he flew down to the bot. He got control of it just as it reached the border wall.
Phew! Now I have to find BC. Please be okay, BC!

Kai looked up at the beast. Its three heads were roaring.

But the noise wasn't an angry roar.

It looks like it's been hurt,
thought Kai.
And it's only shooting dirt and rock. Where has all the fire gone?

The beast's huge wings opened again.
It's getting ready for another wind attack,
thought Kai. Then he saw BC.

‘Yes!' said Kai as he saw BC fly out from under the beast's wings. ‘You're okay!'

‘I am,' said BC. ‘My F-R-T Attack worked. Maybe I got an upgrade. When I was wrapped in the beast's wings I did the F-R-T. It took away all the beast's fire.'

‘Excellent work, BC,' said Kai. ‘I can't believe those wings didn't hurt you!'

‘That's why I chew metal bolts in my doggy digs,' said BC. ‘It makes my dogbot body strong!'

‘That's good,' said Kai. ‘But now let's beat this beast and take it to the Outlands. Where it belongs!'

‘Yes,' said BC. ‘But we need to stop the wind attacks.'

‘I think I have a plan for that,' said Kai. ‘Let's use the sucker to suck back the beast's wings. That will stop it from being able to flap them.'

‘And then it can't do wind attacks!' said BC.

Just then Kai heard his orb beep. He took it from his pocket.

Kai read the messages. ‘You did get an upgrade to your F-R-T Attack,' said Kai.

‘What's the other message?' asked BC.

‘It's about the dirt we sucked up with the sucker. When we first came here. I can use it in the T-J Striker.'

Kai pulled the striker's black cord from his jet-pack. He pushed it into the sucker converter plug-hole on the bot's dashboard.

‘You fly the bot and suck the beast's wings back,' he said to BC. ‘I'll blast it with the dirt from my striker jets.'

BC sucked back the beast's wings. Kai blasted blue jet streams at the beast with the striker's four jets. Soon the beast began to drop.

Kai quickly hit the button on BC's collar for the ray cage.

Rays of light flew out and caught the beast as it fell.

‘We've got it!' said Kai. ‘Let's get it to the Outlands.'

BC flew towards the outlands bringing the cage and beast with him. Kai followed in the bot.

As soon as Kai could see the beast gate he took out his orb. He sent the BMC a message to open the gate.

‘Get ready!' said Kai.

‘The gate is opening,' said BC. ‘I'll put the beast inside.'

When the beast was safely inside the gate the ray cage turned itself off. The gate closed and Kai and BC heard the beast growl.

‘The beast could still battle, maybe,' said BC.

‘Maybe,' said Kai. ‘But it's locked away in the Outlands now. It can't get out. So Earth is safe.'

Yes,' said BC. ‘Time to go home?'

‘Time for home,' said Kai.

BC climbed back into the bot's cockpit. Kai keyed in the codes for the lighthouse. And with a flash of light they were gone.
