Tito grabbed for Sticky but missed.

Damien grabbed for the satchel but instead tore it open, spilling ingots across the sand.

Dave dived in, and as Sticky scampered onto his shoulder, Dave made a desperate grab for the ingots.

He did get one, but only one, and then the dragon charged the skirmishing bodies.

“Help!” the Bandito Brothers cried, scattering in different directions.

Dave rolled away, then stood and saw that the other ingots had been scooped up by Damien Black, who was now talking to the dragon. “Him, my sweet!” he commanded, pointing to Dave. “He is the tasty one. Go!”

The dragon seemed to understand. His tongue flicked in and out quickly. Nervously. He’d had enough of these games. It was time to eat.

“You got an ingot, right?” Sticky whispered.

Dave nodded, his eyes on the dragon.

“What are you waiting for? Ándale! Put it in!”

Dave slipped his hand inside his sweatshirt.

His hands were shaking, but the ingot snapped in perfectly.

He stood there, waiting for something to happen.

“Are we invisible?” he whispered.

“No, señor.”

“How do I fly?” he asked, his heart pounding.

“Think like a fly?” Sticky said.

“Think like a fly? How do I do that?”

“I don’t know! Buzz in your head?”

Dave tried buzzing in his head. Nothing happened.

The dragon crouched.

Dave broke into a cold sweat.

The powerband didn’t work!

They were doomed!
