They walked further and further, they had seen the volcano for a while now. They stopped after five hours. "We have another three hours and a half hours to go," Phoebe sighed,

"If we picked up the speed, we'd get there sooner," Finn explained,

"How can we pick up the pace when we're walking five hours at a time?" SP asked annoyed,

"Just come on... Remember Phoebe, you're up first to get the element," Finn told her,

"Yeah... When was the last time Mauna Loa erupted, Bonnie? I don't want it erupting while I'm in it," Phoebe asked, Bonnibel opened up her laptop and looked it up,

"The last time it erupted was in... Nineteen eighty four," Bonnibel told her,

"Am I the only who thinks it's getting really cold?" Phoebe shivered,

"That's weird," Finn shivered aswell,

"Well, of course it would be... We're standing on snow," Simon pointed out, all six of them looked beneath them. He was right. "Oh yeah," Finn laughed, he pulled out a wooly jacket and put it on. The rest of the group did the same thing. "That's better," SP hugged herself,

"Let's go again, we have three hours and twenty minutes to go," Simon said.

After an exhausting three hours and twenty minutes, they made it to the base of Mauna Loa. Finn looked down at his phone, it was 3:45pm. Bonnibel was right about the time. They glanced at the top of Mauna Loa. It was huge. No wonder they called it the biggest volcano in the world. "How long will it take to reach the top?" Finn asked Bonnibel,

"Who knows? I can't be bothered looking it up. Plus, there's probably no reception here. We'll just have to find out," she told them. They started to climb.

As they reached half way, Finn looked down at the ground. They were a long way off the ground. They continued to climb. Even though it was a volcano, it was pretty cold and there was snow everywhere. 'I guess it's like this in certain times of the year," Finn guessed as he caught up to the rest of the group. "This is so exhausting," Marceline said as she walked beside Finn,

"I know, right?" Finn stopped and sat down, facing the world around them. The rest of the group stopped and took a break. Simon pulled out a lunchbox that was filled with six sandwiches and pulled out his water bottle. Everyone ate and drank as their energy caught up with them. They got up and continued to climb.

Some time later, they reached the top of Mauna Loa. The view was amazing. Phoebe walked to the crator of the volcano, gulping as she looked into it. "Woah," she took a step back,

"Here," Simon handed Phoebe a container,

"What's this?"

"Burn proof ointment. It'll protect you," Simon smiled,

"Oh... Thanks," Phoebe smiled back and sat down. She screwed open the top of the container and scooped some of the ointment into her hand. She applied it all over her arms, face, torso and legs. She was ready. "How will I know what the element looks like?" she asked,

"It should look like an Orb," Finn told her,

"You'll find it, don't worry!" Simon tightly harnessed a rope around Phoebe, she lowered half her body into the crator. "Wish me luck..." Phoebe took a deep breath as Simon lowered her in.

It was completely pitch black around her, except for under her feet where all the lava stayed. The rope lowered her deeper and deeper. It got hotter as she went. She started to sweat. She couldn't keep her worries to herself because she couldn't see the Orb. She looked up at the top where all her friends were. They all circled the crator, staring down at her. She started to sweat. "Why the hell am I doing this?" she whispered. As she said that, she could see a glow in the corner of her eye. She turned around and saw a light emmiting ball of fire. "Woah..." Phoebe whispered under her breath. "Simon!" Phoebe called up,

"Have you got it?!"

"No! Can you move me a bit to the left!"

"Okay!" As he said this, the rope moved and Phoebe was moving closer to the Orb. "Yes!" Phoebe reached out for it but she hesitated, it looked dangerous to touch but then she knew it was safe since she represented the fire element. She reached out again and grabbed it. It was cold. She held it tightly to her chest. "I got it!" she called up, she heard faint cheers. Simon started to pull her up. Suddenly, the volcano started to rumble. "Oh no... PULL ME UP, SIMON! PULL ME UP!" Phoebe screamed, the lava started to stir and boil. "FINN! HELP ME, PLEASE!" she cried, Finn, Marceline, Bonnibel and SP all ran to the rope and helped Simon. Every pull got harder and harder. "PHOEBE! WE'RE PULLING YOU UP! YOU'LL BE OKAY!" Finn pulled as hard as he could. Eventually, they pulled her up. The volcano grew angrier. "FINN! HELP!" Phoebe screamed at the edge of the crator. "Phoebe!" Finn ran over to her and picked her up out of the crator. The Earth started to shake. "We need to get out of here!" Finn yelled at everyone as he held Phoebe. Simon and Marceline quickly looked around. Marceline looked over at a jagged rock and saw a sled behind it. "Over here!" Marceline ran over to it and pulled it out behind it. She placed it on the edge of the snow capped volcano. "Get on!" she yelled over the rumbles, Simon looked into the volcano. The lava was rising. "We need to leave! Like, right now!" Simon hopped onto the sled, everyone else did the exact same thing. Marceline looked back at the crator, pushed the sled and hopped in just in time.

They slid down the volcano on the sled, racing with the lava. Phoebe layed in Finn's lap, still trembling. Simon rummudged through his backpack and pulled out a ruler, a ukulele, a spade and a long knife. He handed SP the ukulele, he gave Bonnibel the ruler, Finn the long knife and kept the spade. Marceline pulled out her mini umbrella. "Everyone! Use these to help push the sled!" he yelled over the lava melting the snow. They did as he said. It took ten times quicker using the sled than walking. They were actually beating the lava. The volcano was coming to an end. The sled would eventually stop. Bonnibel's ruler snapped and then SP's ukulele. "Now what?!" SP yelled back at Simon,

"Just stay calm! It's fine!" Simon yelled as he kept pushing the sled further and further. They reached the base of the volcano. Marceline jumped off and sprinted away, tripping over herself as she ran through the snow. "MARCELINE!" Simon yelled,

"WAIT!" she yelled back, the lava was catching up,

"HURRY!" Finn yelled. A few second later, they heard revving and loud screeches along the ground. They looked ahead and saw Marceline driving a skii mobile, four others were attached. "GET ON!" she yelled at them. They all ran over to the ski mobiles and hopped on one each. Finn put Phoebe on the back of his. They all revved up their ski mobiles and drove away from the lava. Finn looked down at the meter on his. It was going at a hundred miles an hour. He looked behind and the lava was going slower and slower. After another mile, they stopped. The lava had stopped a metre behind them. They all sighed. Everyone looked at eachother and smile, glad that it was over. Finn checked the time, it was 6:50pm. He looked back at Phoebe and looked down at her arms, she was still holding the Orb. Finn shook her awake and got her to put it in her bag. "Hey guys, look what we got!" Finn got their attention, he pointed to her bag. They all cheered.
