***EXTRACT.***

Inside the entrance hall Flame moved at last. He turned and stepped forwards.
It was time.
Now he was standing directly in front of the doors and he could see that he was badly outnumbered. If he could just hold the first machine back - the bulldozer at the front - he might be able to block the way.
If....... The black machine looked strong. Flame was built for speed and he had powerful jaws but the bulldozer was made to push and to shove.
It would not stop.
Its caterpillar tracks would grip the ground firmly but Flame's clawed feet would scrape and slip on the polished tiles as he tried to hold his place. He would be pushed backwards and then all the other machines would come in one after the other. They would surround him and attack together.
He knew this would happen unless he could think of something else to do.
Unless.... "We're here!" called a voice behind him.
