biting the force field!”
    â€œNo one keeps me locked up!” roared Don Leo. “Forget the whisperfish – I’ll eat every one of
you
when I get out of here!”
    â€œOh, dear,” sighed Teggs. “We’ve dealt with one monster. Now here’s another one to take its place!”
    â€œThere’s not a prison built that can hold me!” growled Don Leo. “And I’ll prove it!” He swam at top speed towards the side of the pen and bashed it overand over. The wall was thick, but soon cracks were starting to show.
    Cripes was trembling. “He’s going to get out into the open sea! Think of the damage he could cause!”
    â€œWe’ll just have to stop him,” said Teggs simply. “Cripes, Iggy, let’s head for the super-sub – fast!”
    With a final roar of rage, Don Leo smashed a huge hole in the side of the pen.
    â€œNow I’m going to eat everyone on this planet!” he yelled.
    â€œNot so fast!” shouted Teggs from the super-sub. “First you’ll have to deal with a couple of astrosaurs!”
    With that, Iggy turned the super-sub round and revved the dung-powered engines right in Don Leo’s furious face.

    â€œThat tastes revolting!” Don Leo spluttered. “I’ll get you for that!”
    The super-sub sped away, the liopleurodon close behind it.
    â€œAll right, Cripes,” said Teggs. “Where’s the nearest floating factory?”
    â€œAbout three miles north,” said Cripes. “But it’s a brand new building. We’ve only just put all the machines in.”
    â€œPerfect!” cried Teggs. “Well away from the whisperfish. Iggy, get us there at top speed!”

    â€œAye-aye, Captain,” grinned Iggy.
    But though the super-sub soared through the saltwater at an incredible speed, Don Leo was catching up!
    â€œWe
must
keep ahead of him, Iggy!” urged Teggs.
    Cripes pointed to a big block of metal ahead of them. “There’s the floating factory!”
    â€œDoes it have a packing room?” asked Teggs. “You know, like the one I got trapped in on the wreck?”
    â€œSure it does,” said Cripes. “Iggy, head for the intake pipe round the side. It’ll take you straight there. But I still don’t see—”
    â€œNo time for explanations now,” said Teggs, as they shot through the pipe and into the loading area. “I’m getting off! Park the sub and wait for me.”
    â€œBut Don Leo’s right behind us!” protested Iggy. “If he sees you, he’ll eat you!”
    â€œI hope he
tries,”
smiled Teggs. “My plan depends on it!”
    Iggy parked the super-sub just outside the packing room. As it bobbed abouton the surface of the water, Teggs jumped out and quickly waded over to another large pipe, half-filled with water. Designed to let through tons of shelled ammonites for packing, it was easily big enough to fit a stegosaurus.
    And, with a bit of a squeeze, a livid liopleurodon.
    Don Leo suddenly burst out of the water beside Teggs, ready to bite. His terrifying teeth missed Teggs’s neck by millimetres.

    â€œPhew!” whistled Teggs. “You know, I think I liked Mira a whole lot better than Don Leo!”
    â€œI’ll like you a whole lot better when you’re lining my stomach!” growled Don Leo.
    â€œDon’t hold your breath,” said Teggs. He bashed Don Leo on the nose with his tail.
    â€œCome here!” Don Leo roared in anger.
    Teggs waded off down the pipe, with the liopleurodon slithering along right behind him, trying to squeeze through.
    A few seconds later, Teggs splashed out into the packing room. Panting for breath, he turned on the machines. The conveyor belt jerked forwards. Metal scoops swung down from the ceiling.
    Don Leo wriggled along through the shallow water after Teggs. He looked
furious.
    â€œCatch me if you can!” cried Teggs.He
