"Arnold, there is something I need to tell you." "What is it, Helga?" "I lll-llo.." "You what?" "I love y-", she is interrupted by a sudden shake in the aircraft. Arnold and Helga look outside the window, the wing is severely damaged. The engine has exploded, and it fell off. The plane turns downwards, hurdling at who knows what speed. They all scream in horror as the plane crashes down into the ocean. Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep goes the plane, and Helga grabs Arnolds hand and holds it tight. Arnold falls down into the sea, and rises back up into the surface. Gerald and Phoebe are on the surface, too and all spot an island. They swim towards, and realize, someone is missing. Arnold dives back down, and tries to find Helga. She is knocked out on a piece of wreckage, and Arnold gets lifts her on his back. He swims to the island as hard as he can, and lays Helga down on the sand. She then wakes up, and starts to process everything. She lost her bow, her shirt was ripped, and she had several cuts on her legs and arms. "What happened?" she asks. "The plane crashed, and we are stuck on this island." "Wait a minute, where is Grandpa and Grandma?" "Arnold, I think that they..." says Gerald. Arnold crashes down on the sand. "No No No NO!" "I came here to find my parents, and instead I lose the only family I had left." Arnold begins to cry. He quickly wipes off his tears and says, "No, this is not the time for crying, we must survive on our own now." "Arnold lifts his sleeve up, and sees the most bloody cut he has ever seen. "Come on guys, its raining too hard. Lets go look for shelter." They wander off into the jungle, searching for civilization, or just a small cave where they can sleep. They do find a cave, big enough for the 4 of them to spend the rest of the storm in. In the cave, they find some sticks, and tried to make a fire. Helga found a random piece of palm and tied it around her hair, making a bow. Her hair was still down to her shoulders, but I guess she didn't care. "Will we ever make out of her alive?" "I don't know, but lets just think positive thoughts."
Hours went by, and it was eventually night. Everyone but Arnold were sleeping. Arnold takes off his jacket, and places it over Helga. She smiles, but Arnold doesn't notice. He lays down next to her, and falls asleep. His dream was, he leaves the boarding house and goes to the park and thinks. If his parents are alive, why did they not contact Arnold after 9 years? Had they forgotten? Or, were they... Arnold is awaken some hours later by something nibbling on his toe. "Grandpa... stop it..." Arnold says. He opens his eyes and sees a rare anole lizard. He shakes it off and it runs under a crack in the cave. Arnold stands up and looks outside. It is partially morning, and he wakes the gang up. "Guys, we need to find food or water." "I saw some bananas down that creek, and that creek has some water." says Phoebe. Phoebe runs out of the cave and follows the creek. The creek widens up the more you go, and she finally found the banana trees. She climbs the tree and gets 4 of them, climbs back down and almost slips off. She noticed something very odd, voices. Human voices. She pulls a palm out of the way and sees the most gorgeous lake she had ever seen. But, there was a ship docked on a pier on the other side. She saw the flag, Pirates! She overheard them talking about some treasure and a sacred map that has been gone for almost a decade. "We are only several kilometers from Makain Volcano, the treasure is buried deep inside." "Markus, did you investigate into that plane crash? No survivors, no intruders." "We can make a fortune boss, open up a resort on this island." "Not a bad idea Richie. I'll think about it." He throws his cigar on the ground and walks away into the jungle trees. Phoebe runs back to the cave, and warns them about the pirates. "Makain Volcano?" "This might be where I was born." "Woah, don't get too many ideas, buster. Out of all the Volcanoes in the world, what makes you think its this one?"
