...ONE Zac Power was walking down the street. It was really hot.

He was going to get an ice-cream. Zac was 12 years old. He was a spy. It was top-secret work. Zac worked for a spy group called GIB. His code name was Agent Rock Star.

GIB sent Zac on missions against enemy spies. They also sent him to Spy Camp. He learnt cool things there, like sky-diving. Zac stopped at a crossing. He looked up at the traffic lights. The red man turned into a green man.

But this green man was different. He looked like Zac! Thats weird, thought Zac. The traffic lights flashed. Suddenly a rope dropped at Zacs feet. He looked up. The rope was coming from a GIB chopper.

Its propeller looked like a giant ninja star. Zac climbed up the rope to the chopper. There was no-one at the controls. It must be on auto-pilot, thought Zac. The choppers screen flashed. Flying to Spy Camp Zac took out his SpyPad.

Every GIB spy had a SpyPad. It was a phone and a computer in one. It had heaps of functions and cool games. Zac played a game on his SpyPad. Suddenly the choppers screen flashed. CHAPTER...

There was a canteen in the middle. A big TV screen was hanging from the roof. The TV screen showed the GIB Spy Ladder. When GIB spies finished missions, they got points. They also got points for doing Spy Camp tests. 1. 1.

EnD Black Mountain? thought Zac. Thats where Agent Ice Storm lives! He had read about Agent Ice Storm. She was the world champion in karate. People said she was super scary. Excuse me, said someone, tapping Zac on the shoulder. Zac turned around.

A small boy looked up at him. Wow, its really you! said the boy. Im Lucas...I mean, Agent Small Fry. Hi, Im Zac, said Zac. I know, said Lucas. Youre, like, the coolest spy ever! Well, I dont know about that, smiled Zac.

But thanks. Lets get ready! Zac and Lucas found the Karate room. This was where their karate gear was stored. They scanned the lock with their SpyPads. The door opened. There were two white karate suits inside.

Zac and Lucas put the suits on. Zac picked up a gadget box from a shelf. There was a round keyring inside. It had a spider painted on it. Zac read the label on the box. Magnetic Web Traps anything.
Press the button and a
spider web comes out.

Zac put the Magnetic Web onto his karate belt. There was one for Lucas too. Lets go, said Zac. We can take the chopper that flew me to Spy Camp. They ran outside and got into the chopper. Can I fly? Zac asked Lucas.

I know the way to Black Mountain. Lucas nodded. Zac turned off the auto-pilot and took off. Ive heard Agent Ice Storm can karate chop through metal, said Lucas. Ive heard she does karate in her sleep! said Zac. Lucas looked scared.

Maybe shes not as scary as people say, said Zac. I hope not! said Lucas. CHAPTER...
...THREE Zac flew the chopper above the clouds. Lucas is a bit shy, he thought. I wonder if hell be good at karate. Soon Zac could see the top of Black Mountain. It was covered with snow.

As they got closer, Zac saw a building. It had a big staircase and the roof was made of gold. There was a place for the chopper to land. They landed and Zac and Lucas got out. It was freezing! There was snow everywhere. Agent Ice Storm walked towards them.

She had long black hair and was very tall. Her white karate suit looked just like Zacs. Follow me! she yelled. They ran up the stairs to a big hall. The floor was covered in mats. There were swords hanging on the walls.
