When I went to watch Jumanji The Next Level last week, it gave me an inspiration to do another story of Oiche Shamhna.

(Sonic's POV)
It's been 5 years since I remember how that gameboard called Oiche Shamhna. It was very scary that my friends and I barely survived. But I won and we got home and we threw the game in the river.
And now 5 years later, we graduated high school 3 years ago and went to university college. Amy and I are roommates while Shadow are roommates with Silver. Right now, I wonder what await our future.
I was driving my car and on my way to the University. I had a long run with my speed at the park. It was spring break and we have a whole week of our free time to do whatever we want.
I can't wait to see what my friends is up to. Shadow is usually reading the Dracula book while Silver just do yoga or meditate during his free time. As for Amy, she's been doing a lot of fitness in the gym room in college. She and I are still in a steady relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
I walked inside to find her in the gym room. She was right now doing some pushups until she noticed me. "Oh hi Sonikku"
"You looking good and a total badass chick I have ever seen" I teased her.
"You think so? Well you know you love strong girls" Amy said, grabbing her towel and water bottle.
"I know so. Say where's the guys?" I asked.
"In their shared room" Amy said.
"Okay Ames" I said and walked up there with her once she has gotten dressed to her casual clothes.
"You know I like when you show your flat stomach. It's totally sexy" I said as we went upstairs.
"Hehehe….. Sonic. You're so funny" Amy giggled and held my hand.
"Funny is my middle name" I chuckled.
We walked to the halls to find their room number 200. I just hope Silver is not doing meditation again because the last time I interrupted him, he almost strangled me with his telekinesis.
I knocked on the door and waited for a moment. Then the door opened and there was Shadow, "Oh it's you Faker"
"What? You don't miss me very much, Shadzy?" I asked with my cocky attitude to annoy him.
"Not one bit" Shadow said.
"Oh, Shads. Sometimes you make me laugh when you're grumpy" Amy walks in.
"Oh hello Amy. Silver's just chilling in his bed" Shadow said.
"I see. How have you been guys doing? Free week?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, Spring Break vacation is what I like. Free from too much teachers teaching us and forbidding us to play with our phones in class" Silver said.
"The way I see it, I love being a free spirit" I said and gave thumbs up.
"Anyways, since it's almost evening, we should drive somewhere to eat for dinner" Shadow suggested.
"I agree. I'm so hungry I could just stop eating" Silver said.
"Good idea guys" I agreed.

We went to go have some pizza. Silver always the scrawny young adult, eats like an animal. Typical guy.
"So, it's been 5 years since we played that scary game board. Ever since we were freshmen high school teenagers" I said while having pizza.
"Yeah that game sure was weird, me becoming a hedgekitty" Shadow said.
"I like you as a hedge-Cat. You were so adorable" I snickered.
"Say that again and I'll scratch you like a cat" Shadow glared coldly.
"Whatever but that memory of it will never...be forgotten" I chuckled.
"Hmph!" Shadow huffed in annoyance.
"Anyways, what have you two been doing all day?" Silver asked with his mouthful.
"Exercising in the gym room to stay in great shape" Amy said.
"Me jogging in the park and the sidewalks. You all know I'm the speedster king" I said.
Silver swallowed and then spoke, "Just been chatting with Blaze lately and well playing games"
"And you, Mr. Dark And Gloom" I asked Shadow.
"Just been finishing the Dracula novel" Shadow said.
"Great. You always read about it" I said.
"Well Bram Stoker took inspiration from the Prince Dracula who enjoyed watch his victims suffer while eating" Shadow said.
"Okay, let's not talk about it when there's food. Anyways, I'll catch up with you guys. I'm gonna take a walk" I said.
"Ok see ya" Amy said.

I went down the street to the one river we dropped the game at, but continued down to make sure it's really destroyed.
"Hmmmhmmm, I wonder what's next tonight" I said to myself. That was until I felt something hard at my feet; I looked down seeing a square object and kneel down to uncover it from the river bank. No way, it's the game but, something is different. Once I uncovered it, it appears to be a game console for four people.
"Hmmm, might bring this back to my pals" I said.
I picked it up and ran back to the room to show them what has become of the game.

As I got to my room, I told Amy to get the guys here. And once they were here, they were in big shock.
"Sonic you crazy? Do you know what the game caused?!" Shadow said.
"What I see, it's a game console. Not a board game" I said.
"Okay. Well better plug it in and see" Shadow said.
I plugged the game to our TV and turned it on. As the game started a text said 'A game for those who seek to find' and then said 'A way to leave their world behind, Welcome to Ochie Shamhna'.
"It's really it" Shadow said. Then the character selection appeared.
"Okay ummmm. I'll pick the werehog" I selected.
"I'll be a vampire" Shadow selected a vampire.
"Your turn Amy" He said.
Amy picks her console to select, "Ok. I'll be, a witch" Amy selected The Witch.
Silver got up and picks his console, "I'll be Frankenstein's monster" Silver selected the last one.
"I don't think it's the same curse like before. Perhaps it's safe to play like regular normal video games" I said but something went wrong.
It then starts to spark after the title sparked, "Unplug it!" Amy screamed when it got worse.
I unplugged the game but the TV was still on with the game, "It's not going off!"
And a green light came and started to...pull us into the screen one by one.
"HOLY SH-" I was sucked in.
We got virtualized through a program and then into a world, landing hard on a ground.
"AGH! Ow, the hell?" I groaned at how hard I landed but no injuries or broken bones.
But when I looked at myself, I was a werehog, "What the?!"
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" I hear Amy screaming as she landed on me.
"OMPH!" She landed on my belly; she was dressed as a witch complete with hat.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" I hear Shadow and Silver screaming and landed on the ground.
"Ow my head" Silver groaned, getting up.
"Urgh. What happened?" Shadow groaned.
"Hey why do I feel bolts on my...AAAAGH!" Silver felt his neck feeling bolts there.
"Oh my god!" Amy shrieked.
"What the hell happened to us?!" Shadow yelled, "What the hell am I wearing? Is this a vampire cape?"
"I'm a monster!" Silver saw his reflection in the lake.
"We became our avatars!" I said.
"What the hell just happened and where the hell are we! Agh! It's so hard to talk with fangs!" Shadow groaned in frustration.
"We appear to be in some spooky forest" I looked around.
"Okay and since what we have become, we're gonna discover our strengths" Amy said.
"We don't know what kind of strengths and weaknesses we monster characters have! And this is the craziest shot we are in right now!" Shadow yelled.
"Since I'm a witch I might have magical powers" Amy said, picking out a wand.
"Agh! These bolts on my neck are like tight" Silver touching the bolts on his neck.
"I'm gonna kill you for this, Sonic! Why did you bring that game back?!" Shadow almost punched me.
"Hey! Chill I didn't see that coming. I thought it was gonna be different!" I held my hands in defense, "The only clue I get is that we need to finish the game like last time"
"And how are we gonna do that?! We are probably in a game filled with dangerous levels! Who knows what can happen to us avatars in the game!" Shadow yelling.
"Would you be quiet?!" I put my paw hand on his mouth, "You think you're the only one that is freaking out here? I'm sorry I found the game. But yelling and screaming at me isn't going to get you anywhere. So get it together"
"Fine! Let's keep going and see what this level do" Shadow said.
"Levels are so simple, Shadow. Level one is always the easiest but sooner or later the levels will get harder and harder" I said.
"He's right. It's like playing a video game but we are the players of the game. And I can't seem to fly or move objects with my mind. Our powers are gone!" Silver said.
"Okay, Okay, Okay! Let's not panic. Everyone remain calm. There's got to be access or something" I tried touch my werehog body to find an access or like a pause screen. But when I touched my left pec, something came out of it, "Whoa!" It was a screen of lists.
STRENGTHS: CLAWING, HOWLING, STRENGTH, BITING, SPEED, MOONLIGHT
WEAKNESS: SILVER
"Whoa, that's some list of your avatar" Amy said.
"How did you do that?" Shadow asked.
"I sorta touched my pec" I said.
"Let's see my own" Amy said.
She touched her...boob...and the screen comes out.
STRENGTH: DARK MAGIC, BROOM FLYING
WEAKNESS: FIRE
"Okay this is embarrassing" Amy blushed at where her hand was.
"That's it? Those are your strengths and weakness?" I asked.
"Yeah it is" Amy said.
Shadow then touched his pec and his screen came out.
STRENGTH: BLOOD, FLIGHT, SPEED, BAT TRANSFORMATION, HYPNOTIZE, SEDUCTION
WEAKNESS: GARLIC, SUNLIGHT, HOLY CROSS
"You have got to be kidding me. I have more weaknesses than you two" Shadow groaned.
"Seduction? Vampires can do that?" Amy asked.
"I never do seduction to women. But how is seduction my strengths?" Shadow touched his chest to hide his lists.
"Let's see what mine are" Silver touched his pec, his screen showing his strengths and weakness.
STRENGTH: ENHANCED STRENGTH, ELECTRICITY MANIPULATION, ELECTRICITY IMMUNITY
WEAKNESS: WATER, POWER SHORTAGE
"Water?" Silver said.
"Water causes electricity to go berserk. Like electrified water" I said.
"Makes sense, so you're not alone with more than one weakness Shadow" Silver said.
"Hmph, says the Frankenstein hedgehog that knows about electricity" Shadow scoffed.
"Don't make come over there and beat the hell out of you" Silver points his finger. Lightning coming out from his finger nearly zapped Shadow.
"WHOA!" Shadow dodged it, "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"CUT THAT OUT GUYS!" Amy used her wand to hover them both by magic.
"Whoa, Whoa! Put me down!" Shadow yelled.
"It was an accident! I didn't know I can do that!" Silver yelped.
"You boys! Stop fighting! Just keep your cool and try to get it together" Amy puts them down.
"Fine sorry" Both said.
"Okay this forest hides some secrets" I walked down a path with them.
"I don't like this at all" Amy shuddered.
"Me neither. It's like a movie than something that's real to us. This is—...AAAHH!" Silver yelped when he heard an owl hooting.
"Relax it's just an owl" I groan in annoyance.
"I just got jumpy but this is real. Characters in the game can die" Silver said.
"Okay, as this is a spooky forest, danger can appear any second now" I said.
As we walked, some of the trees started to grin creepily, "It's all in my head. It's just mind games, that's all" I gulped nervously.
"Do you think there are boss levels on this game? Boss levels are very tough" Silver asked.
"I suppose so Silver" I said.
We came to a huge tree root bridge but everything was covered in spider webs. Oh boy, I know what lies ahead.
"I hate this game right now. Remember those giant spiders last time?" Silver gulped hard.
"Y-Y-Yeah" Amy shivered in fear.
Then eight legs appears with eight glowing green eyes.
"Fuck!" I whispered.
We were surrounded by them. This is so not good.
"Shadow, if you can hypnotize them. It would the time like now!" I said.
"I don't know how! There's too many eyes!" Shadow said.
"Back off right now!" Silver accidentally let out lightning from his body.
And with that he shocked many of the spiders frying them.
"Oh shit! Did you see that?!" Silver was amazed.
"Yeah but we gotta get moving now!" I said as more are behind us.
"Got it!" We ran to the bridge with the swarm of spiders following.
The bridge was leading us to a cliff, "Don't look down!"
"Okay don't panic!" Amy took careful steps on the bridge.
But as the spiders got on the bridge it started to shake, "Whoa! WHOA!" I lost balance and grabbed onto the bridge.
"Silver! Use one of your bug zapper jazz hands things!" Shadow yelled.
"Okay, hey spiders!" Silver charged up his hands.
The spiders were getting close but Silver then zaps the spiders with his bolts.
"Go!" He tells us to leave the bridge.
We all ran to the end of the bridge but I cannot leave Silver behind. But he ran once he manage to fend off scores of them and jumped to us.
"Here I go" I lifted the bridge to make the spiders fall into the river.
Then with a final push I threw off the bridge and they all fell into the river.
"Can you swim bitches?! Huh?!" I yelled down.
"Good job Sonic!" Silver high-fives with me.
But I felt an electric shock when I did that. "AGH!"
"Whoops sorry pal" Silver smiled nervously.
"It's okay" I assured him.
"I thought the first level was supposed to be easy, not tough" Shadow said.
"I guess so since it's a horror game" I said.
"Now let's keep going" Amy said.
"This is the worst day of my life" Shadow grumbled.
"Grumpy as usual I see" Amy sighs.
