Hi there, readers! This fic has been under development for quite a while now, and with the help of one of my loyal reviewers, BlackRob88, I was able to develop this into a solid fic. I had always been an Uncharted series fan, and I thought Arnold would fit Nathan Drake's role, so I decided to give this fic a go. I hope you enjoy the prologue and watch out for the upcoming chapters. Don't forget to leave reviews! enjoy! ^^,
Disclaimer: I do not own Hey Arnold and Uncharted, and their characters, but I own this story.
Prologue
Arnold gazed dumbly at the green glowing orb in front him. It was beckoning him, calling him with a silent voice that seem to speak directly into his head.
"Oh child, if you had one wish, and only one wish, what would it be?"
Arnold gave it a confused look. The orb was talking to him. But it isn't a normal voice that one would hear from someone talking, but it as if it was going straight into his head! The voice sounded like a cacophony of different voices coming from all directions.
"One wish, child. Whatever it will be...but be warned as it would not come for free..."
Arnold looked around him. Last time he recalled, a loud explosion rocked the temple after one of La Sombra's men fired an RPG rocket towards them and hit one of the temple's pillar that held the ancient structure from collapsing. The pillar quickly crumbled, and the temple was now following after it. Large portions of the stone ceiling fell unto the ground as the temple shock and started to collapse in itself. Now, it seems that everything around him have frozen. Helga was lying unconscious on the ground, her shoulder bleeding and bruised badly when a chunk of rock fell on her. Gerald was holding Phoebe's bloodied body, huddled close to her, as if trying to wake her up from her slumber. The temple was indeed in a collapse, but someone must have grabbed a universal remote control and hit PAUSE, as everything was in freeze frame, with exception of Arnold and the mysterious green glowing orb.
"A wish, child. Choose wisely, child, for what you gain from the wish, you will lose in the price you will pay..."
"A wish, huh?" he said. He held his hand forward to the orb and closed his eyes. With his whole mind and willpower, he expressed his wish mentally. He hoped this mysterious orb is not only a time-stopper, but a mind-reader as well. As he expressed his wish through his mind, all the events that led the four of them to the Temple of the Green Heart flashed and played back by itself...
