Extract Four
A dragon made out of flames came flying towards them. The children
ran away with all the strength they had left. Half way to the river Yangtse
stood a helicopter. It belonged to the fire brigade.
“Let’s jump in,” cried Blubek.
“We don’t know how to work it.”
“I do,” shouted Blubek. “Get in.”
Kuki thought it was madness. No child knows how to pilot a helicopter!
But there was no alternative. The dragon was catching them up.
Pudding and the children jumped into the helicopter. Blubek slammed
the door shut.
“Blubek, do you really know how to do this?” whispered Gabby.
“I’ve played Blade Striker thousands of times. There’s lots of
helicopter flying in that game. I’m sure I know how to take off.”
“What about landing?” squeaked Pudding.
“Well... I’m not quite so good at that...” said Blubek and pressed the
ignition.
The propellor began to spin and the helicopter took off into the air.
Blubek really did know how to take off! They were flying towards the
clouds.
The dragon roared with rage and chased after them. Its wings were
spread out across half the sky. It was spitting fire at the machine, but
Blubek pulled back the joystick and the helicopter nimbly jumped aside!
“Wow! Super!”
The dragon rushed towards them. Blubek shouted: “Kuki, blast
him!”
Only now did Kuki remember there was a water cannon in the
helicopter for putting out fires in tower blocks. The dragon suddenly
turned. Kuki yanked nervously at the cannon and water gushed into the
cabin.
“I’ve broken it!” he cried in terror.
Kuki had tugged too hard at the water cannon. He had broken it off,
along with a piece of the helicopter’s wall! The helicopter started to
fall like a wounded bird. It was diving straight onto the big television
tower in Shanghai, which was topped with an illuminated sphere. They
were certain they’d be smashed to pieces, but at the very last moment
Blubek straightened up the helicopter and landed it on the roof of the
tower.
“I can do it!” he cried in joy. “I know how to land!”
They jumped out of the helicopter.
Now they were on the roof of the television tower. On the very top
there was a huge antenna. Storm clouds were swirling just above them.
Bolts of lightning went flying across the sky, but it still wasn’t raining.
Suddenly the dragon flew out from among the clouds. It spread its wings
wide as it prepared for the final attack. The gigantic antenna, which was
standing on the roof, cast a wobbly shadow.
Kuki had to do something! He looked up at the antenna. It was
enormous, about a hundred metres high. If he could manage to lift it,
he could fight with it like a sword. He ran up to the antenna and tugged
at it, but it wouldn’t budge at all.
“Boss! It’s flying straight at us!”
