Desert - A

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! The Beasts fell into a mountain that was made out of sand that was a couple of meters below their tube. Roo landed on his head and quickly pulled his head out from the sand, he spat out a large amount of sand from his mouth and brush his tongue "Ugh! That is disgusting!"

Adam squinted his eyes as they adjusted to the light and slowly stands up while suddenly felt a large amount of sweat drips down all over his body. He looked upwards and the roof of the stage was as bright as the sun, he quickly took off his bomber jacket, tied it around his waist, and wore his pair of glasses.

"THIS PLACE IS REALLY HOT!" Bunny shouted while wiping the sweat on her face using a large pink towel that she took out from the side of her bag. Everyone quickly wore their glasses and looked around their surroundings as they were surrounded by tall dunes.

"How did they managed to get all of these sands?" Roo asked as he looked around while wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"That sun is really bright and hot! How did they simulate that?" Bull asked as he looked upwards while squinting his eyes. The five of them slowly stand beside each other and continue looking around the massive desert they were in.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The five of them quickly looked towards their watches as it rang and flashed bright green with a small text in the middle of it "Objective: Find the Lost King's Tomb and return his Golden Twin Cobra staff."

"Golden Twin Cobra staff? What is that? Do we have to find that? LOOK GUYS WHAT IS-" PUNG! PUFF! Roo suddenly collapsed down to the ground and everyone quickly turned around. Roo was unconscious on the ground right behind them, with a long golden staff that has two Cobra heads intertwined at the end of the staff on top of him.

"Hey look at that. Roo found the staff, now we need to look for the Lost King's tomb." Bunny smiled as she kneeled right beside Roo and touched his shoulder. Roo suddenly woke up and looked towards Bunny who grabbed the golden staff off him.

"What happened?" Roo asked as he took a deep breath and jumped up back to his feet.

"You found the golden staff for us and now all we need to do is find the King's tomb," Bunny said while holding the golden staff with both of her hands. Bunny swung the golden staff to the back of her bag and suddenly, a couple of pieces of large fabric of her bag opened up and grabbed the golden staff holding it tightly.

"The Lost King's tomb, does that mean there will be a pyramid somewhere in this insanely large desert?" Bull asked while looking towards Adam, Bunny, and Roo.

Crow suddenly grabbed Adam's right hand and pulled it while looking towards Adam. Adam turned his head around and looked towards Crow who was pointing ahead of her "What's wrong, Crow?"

Adam looked towards where Crow was pointing and his jaw suddenly dropped as he saw a gigantic sandstorm that was rolling towards them.

The gigantic orange sandstorm was rolling at a very high speed, zapped the ground that was right in front of it with large purple bolts of lightning that were inside of it, and threw large boulders out from it all over the desert.

"Everyone RUN!" Adam turned around and looked towards Bull, Bunny, and Roo who instantly dropped their jaws as they saw the sandstorm. The five of them quickly ran down the dune that they were dropped unto while a large boulder flew a couple of meters behind them.

BOOM! BOOM! BZZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BOOM! Boulders flew around the desert and thick bolts of lightning zapped the sand instantly turning them into shards. The Beasts ran as fast they can together with Adam and Roo at the front and Bunny at the very back.

BOOM! A gigantic boulder landed right in front of them and threw sand violently towards them, the five of them quickly ran around the boulder and ran together as fast as they can. Roo picked up his pace and ran right beside Adam while looking towards him "Lion! What are we going to do now?! We can't outrun that sandstorm! We're going to die in a couple of minutes now!"

"LOOK! THERE'S A CAVE OVER THERE! LET'S GO THERE!" Adam shouted while pointing towards a small cave opening that was under a dune of sand and was slightly covered. The small opening was a couple of meters away from them and they quickly ran towards it, while the sandstorm was right at their tail.

BZZZZ! BOOM! BOOM! VWOOOOSH! BZZZZ! The sandstorm gained a lot of speed as it got closer towards the Beasts and started to throw more boulders, lightning bolts, and sand. The Beasts ran towards the cave as fast as they can and tried their best to dodge the large boulders and lightning bolts, while their vision was slightly impaired by the sand that the sandstorm threw out.

BZZZZ! BOOM! BOOOM! SWOOOSH! VWOOOSH! After almost two minutes of running, the five of them were just a couple of steps away from the small cave opening, while the sandstorm was right behind them.

SWOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOSH! Adam quickly jumped into the small opening and followed by Roo who was right behind him. Bull stopped right beside the entrance and waved towards Bunny and Crow who instantly jumped inside the hole, Bull took a glance at the large sandstorm that was covering the sky and quickly jumped inside the hole.

BZZZZZ! GROOORG! SWOOSH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A large bolt of purple lightning suddenly zapped the top of the cave opening while a large boulder flew towards it. The bolder landed right on top of the opening while chunks of stones fell towards it, instantly closing shut the cave opening and entrapping the Beasts inside of it.

Flop! Bosh! Bunny reached to the side of her bag and a small piece of metal instantly flew out from her bag to her hand. As soon as the metal hits Bunny's hand it instantly turned into a large flashlight.

Bunny turned on her flashlight and quickly pointed it around looking towards Adam, Roo, and Crow who were underneath her. She turned her head around and pointed her bright flashlight towards Bull who quickly gave her a thumbs up "I'm here, everyone is here."

"Good job and thank you Bull for waiting for us back there." Bunny smiled towards Bull who quickly smiled back towards her.

Bunny turned her flashlight around and looked downwards towards Adam, Roo, and Crow who slowly crawled down the steep and small tunnel that they were in. Bunny slowly ascends down with Bull right behind him.

Adam crawled out from the small tunnel and took a deep breath as he felt that he was inside a large space. Roo came out right behind him and was followed by Crow, Bunny, and lastly Bull.

"Lion take this." Adam turned around and caught the flashlight that Bunny threw towards him while she took out four more flashlights that she quickly gave to everyone. Adam quickly points his flashlight around and found out that they were inside a large cave, he pointed his flashlight forwards and saw a long and large tunnel was ahead of him.

"Is everyone okay? Anyone got hurt?" Bunny asked as she turned on her flashlight and looked towards everyone. Crow suddenly puts her right hand up and turned around showing Bunny a large wound on her back as a part of her suit was ripped.

"Let me heal that for you." Bunny walked towards Crow and puts her right hand on Crow's right shoulder. The wound instantly healed and Crow quickly reached to the side of her suit while Bunny looked towards Adam, Bull, and Roo who gave her a thumbs up.

"Thank you for healing me!" Crow showed her notebook towards Bunny while smiling wide.

"No problem." Bunny smiled towards Crow while Adam turned around and looked towards the small tunnel that they entered through. He ducked down and pointed his flashlight inside the small tunnel, he saw that the entrance was closed shut while Bull walked towards him.

"There was a gigantic boulder that flew towards the entrance as I jumped in, we can't get out from this way." Bull explained while standing beside Adam who nodded.

"I don't think we want to get out from this tunnel anyway, listen to the rumbling of the sandstorm it's right above us," Adam said. Everyone suddenly fell silent and heard a faint rumbling of the sandstorm that was right above them.

"This cave is pretty large and there's a long tunnel ahead of us. Let's go through the tunnel, I'm sure there should be a way out." Adam pointed his flashlight forward while his teammates looked towards it.

Bull, Bunny, Roo, and Crow quickly nodded and followed Adam who walked ahead towards the pitch dark large tunnel with his flashlight guiding him.
