biting the force field!â
âNo one keeps me locked up!â roared Don Leo. âForget the whisperfish â Iâll eat every one of
you
when I get out of here!â
âOh, dear,â sighed Teggs. âWeâve dealt with one monster. Now hereâs another one to take its place!â
âThereâs not a prison built that can hold me!â growled Don Leo. âAnd Iâll prove it!â 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. âHeâs going to get out into the open sea! Think of the damage he could cause!â
âWeâll just have to stop him,â said Teggs simply. âCripes, Iggy, letâs head for the super-sub â fast!â
With a final roar of rage, Don Leo smashed a huge hole in the side of the pen.
âNow Iâm going to eat everyone on this planet!â he yelled.
âNot so fast!â shouted Teggs from the super-sub. âFirst youâll have to deal with a couple of astrosaurs!â
With that, Iggy turned the super-sub round and revved the dung-powered engines right in Don Leoâs furious face.
âThat tastes revolting!â Don Leo spluttered. âIâll get you for that!â
The super-sub sped away, the liopleurodon close behind it.
âAll right, Cripes,â said Teggs. âWhereâs the nearest floating factory?â
âAbout three miles north,â said Cripes. âBut itâs a brand new building. Weâve only just put all the machines in.â
âPerfect!â cried Teggs. âWell away from the whisperfish. Iggy, get us there at top speed!â
âAye-aye, Captain,â grinned Iggy.
But though the super-sub soared through the saltwater at an incredible speed, Don Leo was catching up!
âWe
must
keep ahead of him, Iggy!â urged Teggs.
Cripes pointed to a big block of metal ahead of them. âThereâs the floating factory!â
âDoes it have a packing room?â asked Teggs. âYou know, like the one I got trapped in on the wreck?â
âSure it does,â said Cripes. âIggy, head for the intake pipe round the side. Itâll take you straight there. But I still donât seeââ
âNo time for explanations now,â said Teggs, as they shot through the pipe and into the loading area. âIâm getting off! Park the sub and wait for me.â
âBut Don Leoâs right behind us!â protested Iggy. âIf he sees you, heâll eat you!â
âI hope he
tries,â
smiled Teggs. âMy plan depends on it!â
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 Teggsâs neck by millimetres.
âPhew!â whistled Teggs. âYou know, I think I liked Mira a whole lot better than Don Leo!â
âIâll like you a whole lot better when youâre lining my stomach!â growled Don Leo.
âDonât hold your breath,â said Teggs. He bashed Don Leo on the nose with his tail.
âCome here!â 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.
âCatch me if you can!â cried Teggs.He
