Kai's test room was under the ground. It was hidden in the hill where Kai lived. Kai's home was a lighthouse. It sat high on the hill and looked out over the sea.

‘We have to take the bullet train back to the lighthouse,' said Kai.

Kai grabbed the Jet Striker. He walked over to the bullet train. ‘I love this train. It goes so fast! Climb in, BC,' he said.

BC jumped into the back seat. Kai climbed in the front. He closed the train's door. Then he took out his Border Guard Card.

They were ready to go when Kai's orb beeped once more. Kai took the orb from his pocket and looked at it.

‘Rain in the wind land! This isn't good,' said Kai. ‘Water from the melted ice must be coming into the wind land.'

‘Yes, and the wind picks it up and makes the water like rain,' BC said.

‘That is bad in the wind land,' said Kai. He started the train. ‘Let's get going. We can use the Gear Mash-Up centre again to make some new battle gear.'

The train shot down the tunnel like a rocket.

The train slowed down at the track's round-about. ‘The BMC is building more rooms at the end of the other tracks. I wonder what they will be,' Kai said. ‘And when they will be open?'

Then the train turned right to go to the battle chamber.

Kai and BC climbed out of the train. They stood in front of the battle chamber walls.

‘The Gear Mash-Up is open,' said BC.

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘We need to choose two things to put in it. Then they will join and make something new.'

‘What about the Jet Striker?' asked BC. ‘It can shoot ice now. Ice balls will be handy in an ice land.'

‘Yes,' said Kai. ‘In the ice land we must battle only with ice. We don't want to mix things up in the lands.'

Kai put the Jet Striker into the Gear Mash-Up's first chamber. ‘We can add one more thing,' said Kai.

‘I think it should be the sword,' said Kai.

‘The one that turned everything to ice in the lava land?' asked BC.

‘Yes. We can try and freeze the melted ice again with it.'

Kai took the sword from wall two. He put it in the chamber with the Jet Striker.

Kai hit the Gear Mash-Up button on the computer. After a while the computer screen flashed.

Kai opened the chamber. ‘This looks excellent, BC.'

Then Kai heard a computer voice. It said

Kai grabbed his new battle gear. Then he and BC slid down into the transport chamber.

‘We must pick a ride,' said BC. ‘Then add new things to it for better beast battling.'

‘That's right,' said Kai. ‘What will we need BC? Ice has melted. I think the sub would be good. It can travel through water.' Kai hit the sub button on the computer.

The computer screen went black. Then a new image came onto the screen. ‘It's the add-ons,' said Kai.

‘Can we have more than two things this time?'

‘Yes, we can have three things,' said Kai. ‘The sub can only travel under water. It would be good if it could fly as well. We don't know how much ice has melted.'

‘It might only be a little bit of ice,' said BC.

Kai hit the chopper blades button. ‘And if we fly we will need to land somehow. There is landing gear here.' Kai hit that button next. ‘One more thing.'

‘The slushy-maker,' said BC. ‘Slushy ice dumps in an ice land.'

‘Yes, good idea, BC.' Kai hit the slushy-maker button. Then they waited.

The new ride popped up on the screen.

‘That looks awesome,' said Kai.

Then a noise started and Kai and BC looked at the floor behind them.

‘Here comes our ride,' said Kai. They stood and watched as part of the floor began to move. The new ride rose up through the open space in the floor.

‘Climb in BC, and I'll start the ride with my Border Guard Card,' said Kai.

BC jumped onto the back seat. ‘My jet pack is here,' he said. ‘BMC must think I need it for this battle.'

‘Maybe it's been given an upgrade, BC,' said Kai. ‘And if you need your jet pack I will need to fly too. We chose well with the chopper blades.'

Kai put the card into the slot on the dashboard.

The ice chopper's computer turned on.

Then a computer voice said

‘We're leaving from the transport chamber again,' said Kai.

The wall of the transport chamber slid open. ‘I think we should check out the rain in the wind land first,' said Kai. ‘On the way to the ice land.'

‘Good plan,' said BC. ‘The wind land and the ice land are next to each other.'

Kai keyed in the codes on his orb. Then the ice chopper shot out through the tunnel to Beastium.
