story Button, head over to story button dot com today.
And now I think it's time to get back to
the show.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Anyone got any ideas on how we can get that
our glass and all the rocks out of the top
of the volcano safely?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Mm?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Miko, what if.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
You like use that force wave skill again to try
and blow everything away?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
There's no tell where the hero would land first of all,
but I'm also worried that clearing out all those rocks
at once might make the volcano erupt.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Good point.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
I don't like it, but I think the only thing
we can do is just slowly clear the rocks away
by hand.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Marco, you'd be ready to heal as if anyone gets burned.

Speaker 7 (01:17):
Okay, there's got to be a better way.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Well, until you think of something, Let's go with the
kids plan and get busy hauling rocks. Always run in,
always something, these guys.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Tired, city man. I can't go on much longer. How
long we've been at it, dude, I don't know about
ten minutes? Quick whining, Marco?

Speaker 7 (01:49):
Did you forget? We need to keep moving. Those night
quakes keep getting worse and worse. We have to find
the other two heroes and go stop Glitch before he
erases the future? Is that what you think Master Glitch.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Is planning to do?

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Hey, that Glimmer girl is back. Look up there? How
long you been floating up there listening to us?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Since you started?

Speaker 7 (02:10):
I'm enjoying watching you all struggling. Yeah, we'll come down here.
If you're braving up for round two against us, please,
you got lucky last time. Besides, why would I try
to beat you and the volcano might do it for me?
There's no telling when this thing might erupt, but I'm
hoping it'll be anytime now.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
Huh, what's the matter?

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Kid?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Mika?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Keep Glimmer distracted for a bit okay, So Shimmer, how
do you like my force way blowing you miles away
like that?

Speaker 8 (02:42):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's Glimmer.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
And like I said, if you got lucky pork.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Here, I've got an idea. Glimmer is a time thief, right.
I bet she has all kinds of skills that let
her speed up or slow down time.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
And I bet she's also got a skill that lets her.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
If we get her to use that skill on the
volcano itself, Mika could use her force wave to clear
all the rocks away without the volcano erupting.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
We could get a head start getting away from here.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
This sounds pretty risky, kid, but not a bad idea.
How are you gonna get Glimmer to use a skill
like that on the volcano?

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Though?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Set a trap and hope she falls for it.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I'm gonna try to get her to use that skill
on me while I'm standing next to that little hill.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'll dive behind the hill right as she.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Uses her skill, and if we're lucky, she'll hit the
volcano instead of me.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Brave move, but I don't guess we got much choice.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
We don't.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
As soon as I start talking to Glimmer, go over
and tell Mika and Marco the plan. Marco needs to
grab the hourglass with the hero inside it to keep
it safe, right before Mika uses force wave to blow
all the rocks away.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
Got it, Leave it to me, kid, Let's do this.
Good luck.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Hey, Glimmer, what's worm? I'm surprised you haven't figured out
they're super Ea. He's the super obvious way to stop us.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Stop you, you're about to stop yourselves. Remember this volcano
could blow any second.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, but you clearly don't see that.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
There's a way you can make sure we're all caught
in the blast.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Glitch would be so disappointed in you for not seeing it.
What hell dare you?

Speaker 6 (04:22):
Well?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Glitch is a time twister, right, and you're a time thief.
I'm sure he saw you all kinds of skills that.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Let you speed up time, slow it down, and stuff
like that.

Speaker 7 (04:33):
Of course he has. I have more time powers than
you'll ever know. As if speeding things up and slowing
them down is all I can do, I also have
an ability called timelock that will lock any door or
item I choose, and no one else can open it.
That's why it doesn't even matter if you get to
master Glitch's castle gets sealed with a timelock.

Speaker 8 (04:53):
Interesting, and that's not even my ultimate skill.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
I can completely freeze people in time if I want,
so that they can't move until I say, hang on,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'll just freeze you to make sure you're here when
the volcano erupts a bit closer to the hill. Yeah right,
I don't think anyone has a power that strong. That
wasn't even the idea I was talking about. You want
to know what my idea was.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Enough, worm, I.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
Don't care what your idea was, because now I have
the best idea. I'm gonna freeze all of you in.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Time, starting with you, Pope. You enjoyed the volcano eruption
time stuff everyone, no.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Move, can't get out of there, blessed?

Speaker 3 (05:50):
How did you dodge that the volcano is frozen in time? Mika?

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Do it?

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Force wave?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
What are you doing?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (06:02):
Do it?

Speaker 7 (06:02):
Sis?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I got the hourglass? Fine, grab.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Okay, I got it, Migo.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Whenever you're ready, grit it.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Here's that vulcolor.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
There. The volcano is clear.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
The sofa rivers should start flowing back.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Down in the right direction.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
Though all that effort for nothing. I'm still going to
freeze you one place, so you're here when the volcano
erups ork.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Get everyone else ready to run.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
I'll distract Glimmer and I've got an idea for how
to get her off our trail. Well, Shimmer, don't you
have to unfreeze the volcano if.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
You want to catch us in the eruption.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
My name is Glimmer and so what kid? What are
you doing? Don't make a mad.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I have to make her mad if I can get
her right over the top of the volcano.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
When she unfreezes it.

Speaker 6 (06:58):
The blast will hitter kid. You're a genius stanks.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
But you three need to go. It's going to be dangerous.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Come on, Mika and Maco, let's beat it.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
Oh, I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Don't worry about them. This is between you and me.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
I don't think you can take me on one on one.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Please.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I bet you're not even level.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Ten yet so you couldn't hit me before, and I
bet you can't now.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Come on, Get as close as you want. I'll stand
right here. How dear you mock me? Mmm? I don't
think that's close enough.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
You better get closer if you want to have any
chance of freezing me.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Go stick Yeah, that'll do. Go for it.

Speaker 7 (07:45):
Once I unfreeze this volcano, it's over for you.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
Boy.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Don't start.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Now, get ready to be bruising in time.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
Warm Let's see you round.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Run run No no no, no no no no no no
no no.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
Good thing, good thing that wasn't a very big eruption.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Hopefully big enough to get rid of Glimmer, though.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
I hope so. But like, where's Aiden? Man?

Speaker 6 (08:37):
What? What? I thought he'd be right behind me aided kid?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Where you're at?

Speaker 7 (08:43):
Aiden?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Little dude? Can you hear us?

Speaker 6 (08:48):
Little guy put himself in danger to help us get
out of their safe. We shouldn't have left him.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
We didn't have a choice, pork. His idea was the
best way to stop Glimmer. I'm sure where he's out there.
We just have to find him.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
No, you don't ooh my man, oh oh, don't scare
us like that, a little bro.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
I thought you were one roasted on break.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Marco. He's up on the hug bro. I can't breathe.
Oh sorry, dude.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
The blast knocked Glimmer way off in the distance. I
don't think she'll be bothering us for a while.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
Kid, you did great, definitely you saved us, plus you
saved whoever's in this hour glass.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh yeah, almost forgot.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Let me remove my vines remised so we can see
who it is. Dude, ha, it's Gane good. Just one
more hero left to find.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
But how are we gonna get Kane out of the
hour glass.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Congratulations on your victory adventures. You have solved the problem
of the smelly swamp. You will each be awarded a
piece of unique equipment and experience points adventurer Aiden, because
you defeated Glimmer by yourself, you may also choose one
of her skills to copy.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Well, Nika, about that hour glass, I don't think it's
gonna be a problem.
