"Helga!" screamed Arnold, who came to a complete halt as he realized La Sombra was holding Helga over the edge of the cliff by the collar of her shirt.
"Don't come a step closer boy or I'll let her go." Warned La Sombra as Arnold attempted to rush to Helga's rescue and La Sombra slightly loosened his grip on Helga's shirt.
"What do you want La Sombra?" Shouted Arnold at La Sombra as he looked anxiously over at Helga, who was still dangling dangerously close to the edge of the cliff.
"You know what I want." Said La Sombra evilly. "I want that…." Said La Sombra as he pointed to the sacred relic that Arnold was protectively cradling in his arms. "…The La Corazon. You give that to me and I'll let her go." Said La Sombra.
"No, Arnold! Don't do it!" Shouted Helga.
"Shut up... you!" La Sombra said angrily as he shook Helga and returned his gaze to Arnold. "So, my boy, do we have a deal? I'll let this chica go free and you'll hand that over to me." Said La Sombra pointing to the La Corazon in Arnold's arms, a sacred relic of the Green eyes.
"Arnold, don't do it! Forget about me! Don't give it to him Arnold. It's your last chance to save your parents." Shouted Helga again as La Sombra once again shook Helga in an attempt to shut her up.
Arnold looked from the relic to Helga as if he was trying to make a decision. "How do I know you'll keep your promise and let Helga go once I give you the La Corazon?"
"I guess you don't. Do you boy?" Said La Sombra as he made a devilish smile. "It's up to you. The girl or the relic?"
"No Arnold. Don't trust him." Helga whimpered as La Sombra tightened his grip on her shirt.
"Alright, it's a deal." Said Arnold with a determined look on his face.
La Sombra slowly lowered Helga to the ground and then pushed her right into Arnold, who caught her by the shoulders before she fell over and then reluctantly handed over the sacred relic to La Sombra.
Helga and Arnold watched on as La Sombra greedily relished over the fact that he finally possessed the Green-eye's sacred relic the La Corazon. As La Sombra began examining the relic, Helga turned her attention back to Arnold, who was watching as La Sombra turned it over in his hands.
"Arnold, I can't believe you did that. Why would you do that for someone like me?" Asked Helga.
"What else are you supposed to do when someone you love is in trouble?" Said Arnold with a mischievous smile on his face as he turned to look at Helga.
"What?" Said Helga in disbelief.
"I like you." Said Arnold, who was beginning to blush furiously.
"What? Arnold, I swear if you're joking I'll pound you." Said Helga threateningly, while raising her fist.
"I wouldn't dream of it." Said Arnold with a mischievous smile.
