elder and from then on it didnтАЩt take long till the two-headed mutant was completely freed from his living
encasement.

The eyes of both heads were tightly closed but they could see the nostrils move rhythmically: the mutant
was breathing.

Bell tried to awaken him. He slapped his shoulders and pulled his legs.

Marshall finally interrupted him. "I donтАЩt think itтАЩll be that simple. HeтАЩs probably still under some
post-hypnotic influence."

"But how did he get here, for heavenтАЩs sake?" Bell exclaimed desperately. "And where are the other 3:
Ishibashi, Sengu, Yokida?"

He kept looking around. The headlamps filled the round room with bright light. There were no more
mounds on the floor. The 3 mutants were certainly not in this room, if they were down here at all.

"Look at his spacesuit!" Marshall murmured. DoesnтАЩt it look as if theyтАЩd tried to decompose it?"

Bell agreed, shaking his head.

Meanwhile Tako Kakuta had begun to scrutinize the fragments of the dark encasing which Bell had
pulled off and thrown away. "Flounders, without doubt," he claimed. "IтАЩm surprised you had no trouble
tearing it off, sir."

"Surprised? Why?"

Tako showed him one of the pieces. "They can be torn only in one direction, like thisтАж Look! Not in
the other. You must always pull in the right direction."

Bell nodded thoughtfully. Then he turned his attention again to Goratschin and pulled him to the side with
MarshallтАЩs help. In doing so they found that the mutant didnтАЩt lie on the bare floor but on another dark
brown layer of living flounders.

"A weird world!" Bell marvelled. "If I could only understand what theyтАЩre trying to do!"

"Maybe Goratschin can tell us more about it when he regains consciousness," Marshall speculated.

"WeтАЩve got to get him out of here. I doubt heтАЩll ever recover down here. When IтАж"

Betty interrupted him in the middle of his sentence with a frightened scream. "Watch out! WeтАЩre going to
be attacked."

Marshall tensed up and listened. "SheтАЩs right!" he gasped, horrified. "LetтАЩs get out of here! The flounders
want to hold us back."

"Betty first!" Bell ordered. "All others will help me with Ivan!"
 Betty crawled away as quickly as she could. When she reached the wallтАФshe called back: "I canтАЩt find
the break any more."
