Kai hit the ice hard. He had slime on his hands and face. It made him fall asleep.

BC had been thrown to the other side of the ice. But he was still on the hover board. BC went over to Kai. BC took the crystal from his hatch.

He rubbed the crystal over the slime on Kai’s skin. It worked. The slime went away. Kai’s skin was alright again. And he was starting to wake up.

‘The crystal,’ said BC. ‘It gets rid of slime. And it can make ice.’

‘How do you know?’ asked Kai.

‘Data in storage hatch,’ said BC.

‘What?’ asked Kai.

But then the ice began to rock and shake.

The beast was on top of them. It had Kai in its tail. BC was in its suckers.

They were stuck in a crush-attack. ‘Use bow to shoot the crystal,’ said BC. ‘It will save us.’

‘Are you nuts?’ yelled Kai.

Kai looked at BC. The beast had its mouth open. It was pulling BC towards it. BC growled loudly. He tried to break free but he couldn’t.

I have to trust BC, thought Kai. ‘Okay,’ Kai said to BC. ‘Throw the crystal up into the air.’ BC did. The crystal went up into the sky. Kai fired the torpedo.

The torpedo hit the crystal in its middle.

The crystal burst open. It broke into lots of pieces. The pieces were made of ice. They fell down onto the beast. And they kept coming. The beast let out a big noise.

It had bits of sharp ice all over it.

More ice fell from where the crystal had broken open. It didn’t stop.

The beast’s tail suddenly let go of Kai. Kai came down hard on the ice. BC fell down on the ice after him. Then Kai heard a funny sound.

‘Look,’ said BC. ‘The beast is in ice. It can’t get out.’ Kai looked.

The beast was frozen in ice. Kai and BC had won. Their battle was over.

‘We did it,’ said Kai. ‘Earth is safe again.’

‘The ice won’t melt and set it free?’ asked BC.

‘No,’ said Kai. ‘This is an ice land. Everything is always frozen here.’ Or so Kai thought.
