The Orso Loobas ran over to her and frantically checked her surface area for wounds, but stopped only when they found none were present.
“What is that?!” Maggie asked, pointing up at the thing hovering above them.
“It looks like some loch ness monster?” One of the Orso Loobas guessed.
When a scream echoed through the area, everyone looked up and saw Amy hung on for dear life as the Loch Ness monster thrashed her across the lake. The bears used sticks and spears to fight the beast into letting her go.
“Hang in there!” Maggie cried out.
“What? I can’t hear you over my constant screaming!” Amy shouted, hanging on for dear life.
Seriously? Maggie slapped her hand against her face. Could this day get any worse?
“But don’t worry, I’ll get out of here — Hey, let me go!” Amy screamed at the monster as the beast bit into her arm.
She pulled her arm out of this grasp and attempted to mount its head and get away from it.
“W-What should we do now? Do we help her?” Ruth asked in a frantic panic.
“I don’t know.” Maggie shook her head. Maggie was sincerely not that unhappy with the fact that Amy might be eaten alive. She couldn’t stand that woman and never trusted her, anyway.
“She told us not to worry, so—”

From the corners of her eyes, the monster fired a beam of light towards them.
“Look out!” She exclaimed as everyone dove for cover to avoid the monster’s laser beam.
The bears grew concerned. “Oh no, if this keeps up, the monster will wreak havoc on the whole area!”
Maggie realized they were right. The herbs that they desperately needed only grew in this area. What if they didn’t have enough? There wouldn’t be anything left if this monster burned them all to a crisp with those laser beams. She looked around in a panic, hoping to find something that could be of great use against the monster.
Maggie noticed her red backpack filled with crystals and herbs and ran over to reach it. She picked up the bag and scrounged through it until she found a yellow diamond. Maggie went to face the monster in the water with the shard in her hand. “Stand back everyone,” She called out, “Because once I—”
“No, don’t!” Ruth interrupted, extending his paw. “You’ll kill all the inhabitants that live in the water, not just the creature in the lagoon. If you do it, then you’ll be just as bad as—”
“What? How dare you!” Maggie retorted. The other bears gasped in shock. “Comparing me to the likes of—”
“Look out!” A voice exclaimed.
Everyone turned to see the loch-ness looking monster fall towards them. The creature fell into the water and made a big splash, hitting nearly everyone in its wake.
As Maggie and the Orso Loobas stood drenched on the lake edge, Amy slid down from the creature’s long body and landed safely on the ground just before it went underwater altogether.
It would have been graceful except that the final submersion by the creature rose up another wave of water that hit her blindly in the back, causing her to fall forward in the mud.
“You see?” Amy said as she got up and coughed a bit. “I told you I had everything under control...”
“Wait, what did you do?” Maggie questioned, trying to process what happened.
“Put it to sleep, snapped its neck.”
“What? How does that work? Does it even have a neck?”
“No need to worry about it, all that matters is we—” Amy stopped herself just in time to correct herself. “You can go get the herbs now.”
“Great...?” Maggie wasn’t sure how to respond to that, but since there was another opening to get the herbs, she felt she should take that opportunity while she still could. There was no arguing with this woman, anyway.
