Kai let the big beast go. The chains flew back into the bottom of the hover board. Then Kai came to a stop. He hovered above the water on the Hover Board XCS.

The beast dived into the sea. Then everything went still. The beast had gotten away.

‘It was too strong for me, BC,' said Kai.

‘Yes,' said BC.

‘But did you see its skin when it was out of the water?' asked Kai.

‘Yes! It was drying up. It was cracking.'

‘We need to get it out of the water,' said Kai. ‘That will make it weak. Then I can get it with my chains.'

Just then Kai's orb beeped.

 

 

Kai looked at the screen.

‘We got another upgrade. We can use our hover board jets as water jets,' said Kai. ‘Let's send jets of water down into the sea.'

‘When it comes up to get us we can fly up higher,' said BC.

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘Get it out of the water. Then I'll use the chains.'

‘And I'll use the tubes in my hatch!' said BC. ‘My tubes are like chains. They will stick onto the beast.'

‘Good,' said Kai. ‘Two of us might just hold it. Let's go.'

Kai and BC hovered just above the water. Then they blasted jets of water into the sea.

Suddenly the beast shot out of the water. Kai and BC flew up out of the way into the sky.

The beast rose up from the water and growled and roared.

 

 

Kai pushed the button for the chains. They shot out around the beast. Then BC's hatch flipped open. Loads of black tubes shot out at the beast. Their ends stuck onto it. The beast was held up in the air.

‘Good work, BC. Round the beast up!'

BC wrapped the beast up in black tubes.

The beast growled but it couldn't pull away.

Kai and BC watched as the beast dried out. Then it went quiet and still.

‘Time to put this beast in the ray cage, BC,' said Kai.

‘And take it to the Outlands,' said BC.

Kai hit the ray cage button on BC's collar. Red rays shot out from the collar and caged the beast. The beast was held in the air by the cage.

‘We need to go to the water land's beast gate,' said Kai.

‘I know where it is,' said BC. Then he flew off.

When they were outside the beast gate, Kai took out his orb. He sent a message to the BMC to open the gate. The gate slid open. Then the chains shot back into the board.

BC pushed the beast inside. His cage turned off and the tubes tubes shot back inside his hatch.

‘The wall between Beastium and Earth is safe again,' said Kai. ‘We battled well with just water. It's time to go home.'

Kai called the sub-drill on his orb. It was crushed.

Kai hit the build-again button on the orb. The sub-drill fixed itself right before their eyes.

‘All fixed!' said BC.

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘And the mutant beasts are all locked away behind their own beast gates. They can't get out.'

But could they?
