Part three.
Mac, Gegs, and Sawn off go to the bridge in their land mate. They shoot at the enemy land mate, but miss and hit the bridge instead. The bridge collapses and the enemy land mate falls into the Ravine.
They then realise that there may have been someone in the other land mate…

Part four.
The boys open the other land mate and find it empty. It came there on autopilot. There’s a corrupted movie file in the computer. The man on the screen looks like a doctor but the sound track is too damaged to make out what he is saying apart from “war over”
Gegs finds the route the land mate took to get there in the computer and they decide to go, and find the doctor.
Bella pops her head into the smashed Land mate and says “You’re not going without me are you?”

Part five.
They set off through the forest. It’s full of mutant bugs and monsters. One bites off one of the Land mate’s guns, but they get away, Mac complains that the Land mate is unbalanced now and needs a weight on that side if they ever want to go fast again. Eventually come across a giant land mate that has been turned into a sort of tree house.

Part six.
The family in the giant land mate are friendly. There’s a cool motorbike there that Bella likes the look of. Mac, Sawn off, Bella, and Gegs want to move on. Perhaps the doctor can give them back their memories but the family won’t let them because it’s too dangerous out there.

Part seven.
The family tell the gang about the war, about how once there was hardly anyone left both sides started making robots to do the fighting and they mention a story of robot spy’s that look like people
The boys run away, but Bella gets left behind.

Part eight.
Gegs and Mac aren’t talking. Gegs thinks they should go back for Bella, but Mac thinks she’ll be safe there, and they should go on.
Then they come across a group of abandoned troop transport's, and go inside…

Part nine.
The boys split up and search the giant landmates. Sawn off opens a prison cell door and a robot comes out and tries to get him. He’s afraid and puts his hand out. A blast of energy comes out of his hand and blows the robot to bits. The other boys run to see what the noise is. Sawn off hides his hand (that now has a lens in the palm) and says the robot blew up on it’s own.

Gegs wonders why the robot was locked up. Isn’t that what you do to humans? Why were they treating a robot like a person?

Part ten.
The boys head off again into a creepy dead part of the forest. There’s a lot of broken rusty overgrown Land mates of all different sizes.
Sawn off hides his hand in a glove as he remembers the story of robot spy’s who pretend to be human.

Part eleven.
They come across a truck in the forest that has been turned into a home. A crazy looking man comes out and offers them a meal. Gegs and Mac think it’s a bad idea but sawn off dives in.
As they eat the man tells them that he used to be a soldier, but in the end there was no one left to give him any orders so he just made himself a home.
He then steps out of the truck and presses a button. Cage bars fall down over all the windows and he says that he can’t have them telling anyone where he is so he’s going to steal the land mate and hide somewhere else.

Part twelve.
Just as the ex-solider is about to get into the land mate a masked figure swoops in and knocks him out. As he loses consciousness he says “The phoenix is rising”
The masked figure removes the mask to reveal that it is in fact Bella!
Everyone is glad to see her.
“What’s a phoenix?”
“A magic bird that catches on fire burns up, and then a new phoenix rises from the ashes.”
Bella escaped on the cool bike. She managed to fix it. It has jet boosters that mean it can do big jumps but they’re still not working Mac fixes the bike to the Land mate where the gun used to be that got bitten of in part five. They can go faster now that there is a counter balance to the one remaining gun. And they set off again.

Part thirteen.
Gegs has another dream. The giant robot is about to get him again when a giant phoenix rises behind it and the two fight.

Part fourteen.
The gang come across a huge crater in the middle of the forest. Sawn off gets too close to the edge, falls in, and can’t get out. There’s a bomb in the centre of the crater with the word phoenix on it. There’s a counter on it counting down to zero. Bella detaches the bike from the land mate and drives it down into the crater shouting to the other two to get the land mate as far away as possible. Once at the bottom of the crater sawn off jumps on. There’s ten seconds left on the counter.

Part fifteen.
Bella and swan off drive as fast as they can at the crater edge, she intends to use it as a ramp. Sawn of says “we’ll never make it without the rocket boosters.”
Bella “You’re not helping!”
Sawn off “If Mac wants to fix something he hits it really hard.”
Bella punches the rocket boost button, they come on and the bike blasts out of the crater just as the phoenix bomb goes off again.

Part sixteen.
The gang come across a ghost town and decide to hunt for supplies. Gegs comes across an enemy soldier who chases after him.

Part seventeen.
There are two enemy land mates in the town. They bury one by collapsing a building onto it but they get knocked over by the other one. The baddies have them, but all they want is to be left alone. They tell them that they will put their land mate back on its feet if they agree not to fight any more.

Part eighteen.
The gang head off again remembering that the enemy soldiers told them that the robots had started to think on their own and not do what they were told. They enter a mountain range, and a big robot watches them from a distance…

Part nineteen.
They move deeper into the mountains through a pass, but they come across a giant wall blocking their way. They can’t open the door. Mac “It’s gonna take a couple of hours to get through this.”
Sawn off “open it now.” Behind them there is a huge robot.
Gegs and Bella fight the robot while Mac tries to open the door. Then Sawn off spots a small hole in the wall and crawls through.
Gegs and Bella keep fighting the robot while Mac struggles with the door. Sawn off comes out on the other side. The place is littered with smashed land mates in the middle there is a robot even bigger and tougher than the one on the other side of the wall.

Part twenty.
Sawn of holds out his hand and blows it to bits then opens the door for the others. They all come through and Mac drops the door onto the robot as it comes through to get them.
“I saw it in a movie.” They see all the wrecked land mates “Wow it took all these Land mates to destroy one robot!”

Part twenty-one.
The gang reach a bunker there’s a scientist living there. He says they can rest there if they want. Then they see a small robot. They panic but the scientist assures them that he’s good because he reprogrammed him. It’s easy to reprogram a robot once you wipe its memory with a magnet.
He gives them two magnet gloves. Just touch a robots head with the glove and it will forget what it’s doing and why.
He then tells them that the doctor they are looking for is near. A day away in the land mate, across the battlefield.

Part twenty-two.
The gang come across the battlefield all sorts of robots and land mates cover the landscape. In the centre on the field stands a giant robot just like the one from Gegs’s dream. The only one left standing.
“Why’s it not moving?”
“Batteries must be dead.”
They move past it. As they do it turns to look at them.

Part twenty-three..
They spot that the robot is after them and decide to split up. Bella and sawn off on the bike and Mac and Gegs in the land mate. Bella has a magnet glove. Mac has the other. The robot goes after the land mate so Bella come round behind the robot. She uses a bit of wreckage as a ramp to get up high and leaps off the bike at the back of the robots head Magnet glove out stretched. The robot whips around and catches her.

Part twenty-four
Mac leaps of the land mate and clambers up the robots arm but the Robot shakes his arm and he flys off. The robot punches the front and top off the land mate revealing a scared looking Gegs. He puts out his hand and an energy blast comes from it knocking the robot back but not destroying it. Every one looks shocked at Gegs. He looks shocked himself.
The robot starts to get up and Sawn off uses his energy blast to finish off the Robot. Everyone is stunned.
Sawn off. “So is that something everyone can do?”

Part Twenty-five.
The gang keep going, but on foot this time, as the land mate is wrecked. Bella and Mac walk up in front Sawn off and Gegs behind. Mac doesn’t trust Sawn off and Gegs anymore. “But they saved us.” “Yeah and that makes them even more dangerous than those big robots.”
They reach a base. The doctor must be inside, but its guarded by robots. “He must be their prisoner.”
Bella “How do we get past them?”
Mac and Bella turn to look at Gegs and Sawn off. Gegs looks worried . Sawn off looks ready for anything.
Sawn off goes up to a couple of robot guards “Do you want to see what’s in my hand?”
They lean forward Sawn off opens his hand and blows them to bits.
Inside the doctor hears loads of blasts and crashing. Then the door is blown to bits, and the four children stand there. Sawn off has a big smile on his face.

Part Twenty-Six.
The doctor tells them that they have no memories of parents because they never had any. They are all robots. One of the last weapons used in the war was a magnet wave that wipes the memories of any robot within a few miles. They were spy robots. They forgot they were robots and started to believe that they were the people they were pretending to be.
He tells them that there is almost no one left now apart from the 100 thousand people in hyper sleep in a mountain to the east. Waking them is the only chance the human race has.
The gang decide to go to the mountain and wake them, knowing full well that all new dangers await the on the way…
