The train pulled into the battle chamber. Kai and BC climbed out. Then they walked over to the Gear Mash-Up.
    â€˜We don’t know if it’s the mud land or the water land,’ said Kai. He looked at the gear on the wall.
    Then the Gear Mash Up computer screen flashed.

    â€˜The BMC has chosen for us,’ said Kai. ‘That makes things easier, BC.’ He took the chains from the wall. Then he put them into the first chamber.
    â€˜New faster hover board goes in too,’ said BC.
    â€˜Yes,’ said Kai and he put the hover board in with the chains. ‘I’m not sure what these two things will make.’
    â€˜Close the chamber and we’ll find out,’ said BC.
    Kai closed the chamber door and waited. After a while the computer screen flashed again. Kai opened the other chamber. He took out his hover board.
    â€˜It’s like a scooter!’ Kai said. ‘There are buttons on the handles. One is for the chains. We can shoot them out from the hover board.’

    â€˜Good for catching a beast,’ said BC.
    â€˜Yes,’ said Kai. ‘I can ride and use the chains all at once.’
    Then Kai heard a computer voice.

    Kai and BC slid quickly down the secret slide that went to the transport chamber.
    â€˜What sort of ride will we need?’ asked BC. He and Kai looked at the transport chamber’s computer screen. ‘There are four rides to choose from.’

    â€˜If it’s the mud land we could need the sludger,’ said Kai. ‘If it’s the water land we could need a sub.’
    â€˜Maybe we need wheels and a sub,’ said BC. ‘So it can move on the ground and in the water.’
    â€˜Yes,’ said Kai. ‘But my guess is that it’s the water land. I think we should pick the drill. Then we can add water things to it. Maybe a sub add-on?’
    Kai hit the button for the drill. The screen went blank. Then a new image popped onto the screen. ‘It’s the addons,’ said Kai.

    â€˜The BMC said water was going into the mud land. So, something must be wrong in the water land. It’s making water spill into the mud land. I’m sure we have to go to the water land,’ said Kai.
    â€˜We can only battle with water in the water land,’ said BC.
    â€˜Yes,’ said Kai and he hit the water jets button. ‘Now we need sub-mode.’ He hit that button next. ‘That’s all we can have this time, BC. It will have to do.’
    Kai waited. Then the new ride came on the screen.

    â€˜A water ride with wheels and water jets,’ said BC. Then part of the floor behind them began to move.
    Kai and BC watched as the sub-drill rose up from the floor.
    â€˜Hey,’ said Kai. ‘There’s a small hover board on your seat, BC.’
    â€˜I get a board!’ said BC.
    â€˜Yes,’ said Kai. ‘Climb in.’
    Kai took out his orb. He keyed in the codes for the water land. The wall of the transport chamber slid open.
    The sub-drill shot out the tunnel to Beastium.

The sub-drill splashed down into the water land. ‘The water is so dirty,’ said Kai.
    â€˜Yes, it’s hard to see,’ said BC.
    â€˜I’m turning the maxi-wipers on,’ said Kai. ‘Why is dirt and mud from other lands here? Maybe we should have gone to the mud land.’
    Suddenly big splats of slime hit the sub-drill’s window. Kai pushed them off with the wipers.
    â€˜More slime is coming!’ said BC. His tail was wagging.
    Kai could see the slime coming. ‘It will eat through the windscreen,’ he said. Then Kai heard his orb beep. He quickly looked at its screen.

    â€˜Oh good. Another upgrade,’ said Kai. ‘Toxic slime can’t hurt the sub-drill now.’
    Kai kept pushing the slime off the window with the wipers. But more kept coming.
    â€˜I’m going to use the wheels,’ said Kai. ‘Driving along the sea floor might be better.’
    Kai
