Kai Masters was in his new test room. His robotic dog, BC3, was with him. Kai had turned BCâs human chat button on.
âThis new room from the BMC is great,â Kai said to his buddy. âI love working with things in here.â
âA new test room from BMC is good,â said BC. âBMC must be happy with us. Maybe soon you will become a Border Captain.â
Kai Masters was a Border Guard. He and BC guarded the wall between Earth and Beastium. They battled beasts and kept them back from the wall. Kai was a good Border Guard. But he wanted to be a Border Captain.
âYes,â said Kai âMaybe. We can make better battle gear in here, BC. If we battle well with this better gear I might make captain.â
âNew battle gear?â asked BC.
âNo, we canât make new stuff. We can do things with all the gear from our other battles. I can add things to them. I can make them better.â
Kai picked up the foam blaster. âThis was good in the fire land,â he said. âBut I think Iâve made it better, BC. The last time we used this it could only shoot out foam.â
âWill it shoot out other things now?â asked BC.
âThatâs the plan,â said Kai. âIâm hoping that now it can shoot rocks, fire and water too.â
âA blaster that shoots rocks, water and fire! Good for battles in every land,â said BC.
âYes,â Kai said. âIt will be very handy.â
Kai took the blaster and went over to the testing range. âNow letâs see if it works, BC.â
Kai pushed the fire button. Fire shot out.
âThat worked,â said BC. âTry water next.â
Kai pressed the water button. A jet of water blasted out from the blaster.
Â
Â
âThis is so cool,â said Kai. âIâll try the rocks button now.â
Just then Kaiâs orbix beeped.
Â
Â
Kai took his orb from his pocket. He looked at its screen. âItâs an alert from the BMC,â he said. âSomething is wrong in the rock land. Beast eggs have hatched. And thereâs water.â
âWater in a rock land!â said BC. âThatâs nutty.â
âWe need to get to the battle chamber,â said Kai. âIâll bring the blaster with us. I think we will be needing it.â
Kai lived in an old lighthouse on a big hill. It looked old from the outside. But the inside was new. There were secret rooms in the lighthouse. And secret places all over the hill. The new Border Guard test room was on the other side of the hill. Away from the lighthouse.
âWe need to take the bullet train back to the lighthouse,â said Kai.
Kai climbed into the bullet train. BC climbed into the seat behind him.
âReady?â asked Kai.
âReady,â said BC.
Kai closed the trainâs glass lid. Then he put his Border Guard Card into the slot on the dashboard.
The trainâs engine started and the train shot through the tunnel. The train began to slow down near the battle chamber.
âMy collar is flashing,â said BC. Kai turned to look. Then his orb flashed too.
âYou got an upgrade. The BMC doesnât say what it is. Any upgrade is good!â said Kai.
The bullet train pulled in to the battle chamber. It stopped and Kai and BC climbed out.
Kaiâs orb beeped again. A new message flashed. Kai smiled. âThereâs a new space in the battle chamber, BC,â he said âWall three has changed.â
Kai said. âIt is a gear mash-up unit. We can mix our gear up. We get to make new gear by joining old gear together. But I donât know how it works. I guess weâll find out inside.â
Kai stood inside the battle chamber. He looked at the three walls. He had used gear from walls one and two before. âThereâs all our old gear,â said Kai. âItâs good that we can make it better in the test lab now.â
âLetâs look at the
