All the excitement of Beast Quest, but with laughs as well!
"Run!" Ben yelped, shoving Paradise and Wesley out of the passageway. The heat hit them like a wave of fire, scorching their throats and stinging their eyes. A snarling ball of rage exploded from within the passageway, its fluffy bunny tail twitching with fury. The Shark-Headed Bear-Thing skidded on the smooth stone. For one short but happy moment Ben thought it was going to plunge into the fiery lake, but then it found its balance and turned, teeth snapping, towards them. There was no way they could all outrun it, no chance they could all escape.
