The Border Guards had to stop

Prologue
L
ong ago beast and man shared
one world. Then battles began
between them.
After many battles the world
was split in two. Beasts were given
Beastium. Man was given Earth.
A border-wall was made. It
closed the two worlds off. Border
Guards were trained to defend the
border-wall. The beasts tried to get
through the border-wall many times.

T
he Border Guards had to stop
the beasts. Battles won by beasts
made them stronger. Battles won by
guards earned them new battle gear.
And they got new upgrades. Then
their battle gear could do more.
Five boys now defend the borderwall. They are in training to become
Border Masters. Just like their dads.
Their dads were also Border
Guards once. Then they became
Border Captains and then Border
Knights. They kept learning until
they became Border Masters.
8
N
ow they make up the Bordaria
Master Command. The BMC.
The BMC helped the Border Guards
during battle. They gave the Border
Guards new battle gear.
The boys had to earn new battle
gear. They needed to learn from their
battles. And from their mistakes.
Kai Masters is a Border Guard.
His work is top secret. The BMC
watch Kai closely. Kai must not fail.

The Beastium
Border-Lands
The beasts of Beastium lived in
four lands. Over time, the edges of
the lands mixed. That was how the
border-lands were made.
The edges of fire and rock
mixed. That made a volcano land.
The edges of rock and water mixed.
There was a mud border-land. The
edges of water and wind mixed.
There was an ice border-land.
10
The edges of wind and fire mixed.
That made a storm border-land.
It was not just the edges of the
worlds that mixed. The beasts from
each of the worlds mixed too. Then
a new kind of beast was made... The
border-land beast.
Kai Masters must think about his
old battles. He must learn from them.
If he does not, then he will fail.
Kai must not lose.

CHAPTER 1
It was a dark and stormy night. Kai
Masters was in bed. He was reading
the latest Space Games book.
Outside, bolts of lightning lit the sky.
Thunder clapped and rumbled.
Kai turned the page of his book.
Suddenly all the lights went out.
Kai’s room was dark. He looked out
the window. It was dark there too.
12
No lights on anywhere, thought
Kai. There must be a power
black-out.
Kai grabbed his torch. He went
up the ladder to the lighthouse deck.
Kai lived in an old lighthouse.
The outside looked very old.
But the inside of the lighthouse was
new. It had all the things a Border
Guard needed. There was even a
slide. It was a prize from the BMC.
It took Kai from his bedroom to
other rooms, like the lab, fast.
Kai liked being a Border Guard.

14
He was 12 years old and he got to
battle beasts. Kai had to keep the
beasts in their own lands. Away from
the wall. And away from Earth.
Kai stood on the deck. He looked
up at the sky. It was filled with dark
clouds. There was a lot of thunder
and lightning. But there was
no rain.That’s strange,
thought Kai.
Kai went over to the room
where his dogbot slept. BC3 was a
gift from the BMC. BC helped Kai in
battles. And he was Kai’s buddy.
15
Kai shone his torch into BC’s
room. BC had been asleep on his
charger-mat. The mat charged the
dogbot with power. When BC woke
up he was always fully charged. And
ready for action.
Kai looked at BC and laughed.
The power black-out had given
BC a super power charge.
BC had fake fur that he could
wear outside. Kai could turn the fur
on with a button. When he did, fur
popped out from under BC’s metal
body. But the power charge had made
16
BC’s fur pop out by itself. And bits of
fur were sticking out everywhere!
BC pushed open his doggie door.
The dogbot ran out onto the deck.
‘Are you okay?’ asked Kai.
17
BC’s tail wagged madly. ‘Okay,
but storm is beastly,’ said BC.
‘Yes,’ said Kai. ‘And your tail is
wagging. That means trouble.’
‘No rain. It’s not right,’ said BC.
‘Too much lightning.’
‘Yes, I know,’ said Kai. ‘This looks
like the work of beasts. Let’s get your
fur to the lab. It’s full of power charges.
We need to test it. But first we have to
turn the back-up power on.’
Kai and BC went back into Kai’s
bedroom. They took the secret slide
all the way to the lab.
