For those of you who maybe lost at the moment, I have details underneath the top profile of Traveler's Journey to some details. It will explained some story plots and what will be happening next. As for the future, know that some of these are ideas mix with current story plots and characters. Until the chapters are written it will be up for debate or in air for later reference.
Next thing to discuss is the characters, if they are in bold it means they have died from the last chapter. Their will be other symbols to describe the characters later in the future. But for now this is for their deaths.
Also I'm glad that some are giving this story a chance, I know there are no reviews, but if you have a login in site for yourself you can see the charts. So I can say thank you for giving it a chance and adding to your favorites and following. Like I said before I don't know how long it will be, but if by some chance make towards the end. I can guarantee this story will be most biggest crossover fanfic you will have read. And as reminders, if this story is too long, I will divide them into arcs, so the other stories that have different titles yet some story will be used for anyone who wants to catch up.
For the Samurai Jack X Code Geass crossover, I only did that for fun when I started. Season 5 kinda change the story somewhat, but now I have had time to understand it, I can go through the story with few more extra characters joining the rebellion.

Bible Topics:
Subject: Confession
Hello again, this one is hard to discuss. But God has been working in my life even when I was stubborn, yet had to humble myself. If some of you know about Jesus then this one should be known by true believers or normal believers. Jesus has made many ministry over his time after baptism and to the death on Cross. In this particular instant at Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, Luke 8:43-48, where the story about the woman bleeding for most of her life. In this story she had heard of Jesus able to preform miracles over his life, in those time Jesus wanted to know of your faith in him.
One time when traveling with another man who asked Jesus for his healing power to save his daughter. But in the middle of this everyone wanted to touch Jesus even if it's one moment on his clothes. The woman thought and believed if she could touch at least once on him, she would be healed. It was when she did Jesus is able to heal her, but after she had touch him, Jesus stop asking who had touch him. When the Woman realize he was asking of her, she tremble in fear and told the truth in front of everyone that was there. It was then Jesus said "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free from your suffering.
By now your wondering what's the point? Well to be frank I have been taught just recent that God wants us to not only confess to him, but also to others. Meaning God except us to show how he has change us and made us his child. To make this point, I have some confession about what I been going through for sometime.
I have been addicted to perverted things behind closed doors. Yes I will admit this, but I am shameful of this act on private time. Yet when I came to god, he forgive me. But it was also the hardest times of my life even to this moment. When God had forgive my sins, I had went back to my sinful action when it appeared in mind. This is due to me desiring of my flesh to seek pleasure in what could only be describe a moment of false joy. It was also when I had this habit of praying for forgiveness, and repeating my actions without hesitation. This I can honestly say is not what God wanted for anyone. It's mess up to the point I just repeated this and wondered when is God's life changing moment suppose to happen or he hasn't forgiven me for repeating this sin. Yet that was when God touch my heart through the consist prayers, and learning his word in the bible of what God is speaking. I even watch some youtube sermons from DTBM how God is a forgiving god, but he also has plan for our lives today and we need to avoid sinful acts and temptations. From many days of listening from others, praying, reading is when I realize that I had been avoiding things through secret sins or pretending that God's not here. I had to come out bolding and admit my problems even when trying to hide this from God. He already knows what your thinking, knows your life and even knows your future. He created us, and is still considered three persons even before Jesus came or the Holy Spirit helping many today. I kept pretending that if I confess once that God would do the work and that's that. But in reality I had to chose between living with sin or with God, I still had that choice, and it's my willingness to allow God to control my life and to help me understand him better.
To this moment after many years I had finally been free from such thoughts, but have to be careful if I was to act on them again. This action I'm doing now is declaring Lord Jesus our savior of his healing power through forgiveness, and willingness to follow his ways. God wants us to confess because it demonstrates the healing power through Christ Jesus. While want I went through had combination of Repetitive Sin and other things, God wants me to explain or say about how he has change me.
The willingness to confess is the ability to stand courageous and true about where we came from and how God change our lives for the better. I can admit and will admit there are things God is not pleased in my life, he is still working in my life. Sharing my testimony is what God intended for us on this life, and there are so much more in store if your willing to admit not just to God, but to people around you how he change our lives. Let's admit, some of our actions are embarrassing, terrible or even to many people unforgiving. But unless you willfully committed the unpardonable sin, God will forgive you and if your a Christian, saint, true believer of god. You must also forgive them even if they had sin against you. This is the power of the almighty and love of Jesus that he place in us, if we can't learn to forgive others when confessing their sins, why should God forgive your sins.
God still working in my life, but if we're not willing to allow him to work in us by Body, Mind, Heart, Soul, Will, everything we are and have. Then You will continue to repeat those sins and repeat the process of forgiveness and sinful actions. I still have to do this every now and then, but I also must be willing to avoid those sins and be willing to testify my life changing salvation by God's power. If I cannot confess my sins to people because of my shame, then God's power of change will not be shown. He expects us to be bold, truthful and willingness to confess about our lives and show what he has done.
For many that are listening, I hope God has place something in your heart and you come to him with honest and humble self in prayer. Proud and stubborn is who God will resist, because they are the works of the devil Satan who rebelled against God. So please pray with honesty and truth, Jesus loves you and accepts you if your willing to accept him. Love you all and bless you.
Last time on Traveler's Journey:
Ever since their adventure on Oz, the gang had been separated on some occasions. Peter, Marcy, Mario and Pac-man are sent to the world located at Rockwell where they encounter a boy name Hogarth who befriends a giant metal robot. Along the way they made new friends with another Pokemon named Mew, at the same time their enemies had emerge on that world. With Mercenaries trying to recapture their lost prize to be sold for money, Pete who is in league with Bluto and other old cartoon classic villains joining with Mercenaries, Dagger an ambitious individual who wants to serve the cause for an mysterious organization, and Daleks who are using the Iron Giant for their experiments to exterminate life. As they have traveled more and more chaos begin to unfold with more disasters then our main cast could handle at once. But as this was happening there are outside forces such as the Keyblade wielders of Light, most working with unions as guardians of light realm are fighting the keyblade wielders of darkness, who they formed as the Orginzation also calling themselves Seekers. As they travel to many worlds more and more secrets are revealed in light, yet by these truths the worlds are groaning in pains as something is about to be unleashed. What even is more disturbing is while these conflicts have been around since beginning of time, something worse will begin as pieces around all existence are being assemble for these next conflicts that cannot be avoided or everyone must pay for their survival.
Traveler's Journey
Arc 1 Join the Team
Ch 9. Jungle Games
Traverse Town - Patrols in District 6 aka Town Square
Traverse Town has gotten more troopers from One Force then ever before. Now more of them are patrolling the streets and keeping people safe from the mercenaries that may possibly heading towards this district. This is to provide more protection for the civilian population, this has even got to the point of checking everyone that travels this world. Some who place themselves in District 1 has some bodyguards in case criminals arrive or appear at any given moment. Currently some of the troopers are after someone, a unquiet Digimon to be precise. While they can't identity what type, they know it has some human appearance.
"Have any of you seen this Digimon?" One Trooper asked showing an image of an human child with flame tail, red pants, dark skin and orange hair on it's head. The feet has 3 claw like toes and over large hand bigger then average child hands. It has some golden ear piercing and green eyes, as this trooper asked the question of random civilains walking by them. From above the digimon in question is actually called Flamemon, a Digimon lost in this world after trying to escape from some mercenary that came to his world.
"Dang it, they just don't know when to quit." Flamemon said slowly working his way down towards the streets. While staying here he heard rumors of some digimon living with a Renamon. While some digimon manage to gain a living in this world in certain districts, others went into hiding from Traverse Town. Some are saying both digimon and pokemon that are part of this world are hunted down by Mercenaries once more. Flamemon had to find these people and somehow avoid the One force patrols. From what he heard the conflict between the mercenaries and One Force are most likely to happen if they don't take precautions. Moving around the area, Flamemon had to be careful not to be caught. Once he reach the 5th district, He should be clear from the guys.
"Halt!" One trooper shouted, forcing Flamemon to run for his life. Running through some corners or cover by using people, Flamemon eventually ran through the Zoo District. But had to avoid more patrol that appears in this area, jump up the fence Flamemon tried to take cover in the green. After few minutes the Trooper lost sight of the digimon and had to call his superior.
"The digimon known as Flamemon is located around here, we need backup now!" Shouted one trooper. As they gathered their reinforcement, Flamemon saw he's trap in this area, with no escape except through them.
"I really don't want to fight them. But I have no choice, there no where in this world I can hide." Flamemon then ran around through the Zoo, trying to see if there is anything he could use to escape. Eventually Flamemon found what appeared like some waterway block by iron poles, this gave Flamemon an idea. While he would rather fight some of the troopers from One Force, Flamemon realize they outnumber him and would eventually be overwhelmed by their forces. So for now he would have to find another way until he could escape.
But what Flamemon didn't realize is through this waterway, he has discovered a secret long forgotten by Traverse Town resident and the world. This is called Water Tunnels an hidden pathways that can reach to different district that has waterways. But the only catch is you could be lost if you didn't know the way, because of Traverse Town growing Districts, many residents including visitors became lost by the secrets of this world. This has lead to many lost and possibly left for dead. Flamemon unknowingly has left himself in some death trap many would have died or forgotten by time. The Water Tunnels consist of different pipes from the top couple pipes of water running out to the shadowy bottom unseen at this height. How it works is the dirt and polluted water down below, then it's recycle and process into clean water springing up as clean water.
"Great I'm lost, maybe I should have turned back." Flamemon was about to do this until he head shouting from behind, he realize the troopers are coming. Unsure what to do next, Falmemon started to climb the waterslides that would have trailed down below. Flamemon had no idea where any of these water tunnels would lead, but would rather escape before facing the troopers again. Going for the very top waterway, Flamemon ran as fast he could not looking back. At the same time the blue trooper appeared with his red partner.
"We lost it." Looking around at the different water tunnels the digimon could have escape.
"Leave it, that thing won't survive once our entire force arrives." Red Trooper said to his companion. Knowing they won't find the digimon the red trooper walk back as the blue trooper walk with his partner once more. Flamemon kept on going as the tunnels had some light in them. Unsure what he will face or will encounter Flamemon knew this was better option then going through them. While fighting is sometimes okay with Flamemon, killing wouldn't be an option. But the sad reality is this situation being force by powers beyond their understand has him running for his and others lives. Worse even at their strongest somehow their powers, strength everything that made them meant nothing. The Mercenaries somehow manage to not only destroy them, but their world leaving only the remaining residents as slaves or on the run. However some believe their home isn't destroyed, mostly because some think their is more then one version of their digital world, if that is the case then returning home maybe possible at some point.
Just as Flamemon reach the end with only a wall, he tried looking for anything that could help him escape, but just as he was looking around the wall began to move. When Flamemon look at the wall his jaw almost drop at someone he didn't expect or something.

Unknown World - Cole and Grimhilda
As the two traveled closer towards the fortress, Grimhilda have notice the change in not her appearance alone. But how she interacts with their surroundings, more so noticing that she has not even complained or stare for hunger or thirst. Some of which should have been impossible, yet here she is alive and still full of energy like she never has before. Using what knowledge she has, the former Queen could use more powerful spells in her arsenal. Right now she rather be cautious since Cole is some enigma in her suppose survival.
"You didn't mention your plans as much, what is it you intend on doing once you reach this place." Grimhilda asked almost demanding since their venture towards this rundown fortress.
"To make an long story short, this fortress is something I like to awaken. They are called 'Fallen Keys' left unguarded for long time since this fortress can't be unlocked by natural means or revealed because this world's unknown location and origin. The Fallen Keys are what considered Angel Keys in their time, but because of corruption and listen to the fallen angel, the keys represent fallen goodness and love. When the fight for the Angel Keys began it meant the upcoming storm will soon arrive. This storm is signifying what is meant to happen and God is ready to place his righteous judgement on all creation." When Cole talk like this, Grimhilda couldn't help but think of the insanity of Cole.
"The Fallen Keys are numbered as 112, but each one is more powerful as the last. Impowered by desires of individuals own greed, lust, and gluttony of their flesh. They will allow the simple desire of good people into monster with darkest intention. These keys represent the fleshy life we live on these worlds and how we don't want to die. Yet living in this world, fulfilling dreams only on this world, obtaining our achievements by new heights, only to reveal our deathly souls to our hellish graves. The Fallen Keys are meant to turn everything you believe as good, revealed as dark and wicked life style. When used the individual become blinded as good is evil and evil is good. Once obtain in their hands they will no longer be willing to listen. Instead must be given itching ears as their joy of life become their given prison and graves." As Grimhilda listen to Cole, she didn't care much about good or evil. Instead enjoyed herself when in power, but now she has to rely on people to help in this endeavor. Cole being her only companion, learned to take some heed in his words. For some of them actually held truth by her hearts delight, yet sometimes cannot understand his knowledge.
"Once we arrive we need to preform some ritual, the keys are scattered in this fortress. They won't be found easily as many keys around the worlds many have traveled, these keys respond to intention considered pure for corruptions and turn into twisted dreams. Since you and me are people with twisted dreams and such, they will not respond to us. Instead we need to sent them out into other worlds, but first we would have to gather supplies for our ritual." Now finished explaining, Cole and Grimhilda walk inside the ruin fortress, finally making their way after getting past lava, sands as ash and bones, air filled with smoke and other horrors. They now have to gathered the said items for their next step.

"It's got to be magnetize or something." Alan and Sarah then saw words being displayed at the center of the board game.
At night they fly,
you better run.
Those winged things,
are not much fun.
When the two look at each other, they heard noises in the chimney. The two got scared and tried to put the game away, when the clock struck it startled them as Alan's by accident allowed the dice rolled by his hands, as the piece moved on it's own.
"Oh no, the thinks it's own rules." Alan realize scared about this game. Before Sarah can question more on his comment, another riddle appeared.

"In the jungle you must wait, what's that mean?" Just as Alan said this his body started to turned into some mist like state being absorb by the game as he dives down into what lies within this game dark concerns. At the same time Sarah cried out in fear as batts swarm the room, Sarah ran for her life trying to escape these bats. As she ran, Alan remain within the game unable to escape or find help in his endeavor. Trap for who knows how long, the became unkind to these two children, never realizing the game has punish them by not finished what they began.
From looking towards the sky appeared some sort of board game
then drums are heard drawing the invisible audience towards it.
The board game open and revealed four pieces of animals.
In the board game an same design pattern with some round center is shown,
Suddenly an vortex is created forcing everyone to enter,
Darkness sits then safari grew surrounding some town as the words appeared in stone.
Barntford 1995
Former Parrish household - years later
The two children living in what was Parrish household name own by new residents. Two of them who ignored their auntie for school heard the same drums as past children before them. When they went upstairs to seek this mysterious drums, after searching for sometime the two named Judy and Peter found the source of the drums. From a Board game called Jumanji. Excited and curious, the two check it out wondering what kind of game it is like any children curious minds wonder. Judy read the instructions of the game and understood the rules.
"You go first." Peter offered, Judy rolled the dice landing on her next move. But without warning her piece slide over to her next spot. While she and Peter are surprise, she read what was written in the green jewel.
Before this quest begins,
a shadow has come above.
they'll arrive from dark,
to make this game unfun.
"What does that mean?" Judy asked, Peter shrug at this she then continued.
A tiny bite can,
make you itch.
Make you sneeze,
make you twitch.
Unsure by this message, Mosquitos arrive trying to attack them. Judy had to defend herself and Peter from their bites, using a tennis racket she manage to swat one away throw the window. But before she could relax something else happen, the Jumanji board game started to shake and rumble as some dark purple aura surround it. Then it shot out couple of purple blobs that soon took form, this one made Judy and Petr eyes widen fearful of these new arrivals.
From another part of the house a green portal open to reveal Peter falling out above, landing hard on his back he slowly got up trying to reorganize himself, "Okay ow... what the heck that guys problem anyway?" Peter said to himself remembering how that guy and the Merc grab the key before Mario, Pacman or Mew could react.
"Marcy!" He shouting knowing she with him but is now terrified for her safety. Deep down he knew she and him were somehow teleported to that world and other things that have happen, but wanted to forget those moments as if nothing bad happen. Peter has forgotten why he learn this habit, but it was this habit that allowed him to be sane for that moment and others times that followed. Suddenly he heard screams from upstairs, two kids running down from something. When he look up it was new brands on Heartless that appeared known as Blood suckers. Without Rest Peter followed the Kids, making sure they are safe as they ran downstairs with the heartless slowly yet shorting behind them.
Warning!

New threat arises!
Preparing for battle!
Heartless Type(emblem): Blood Sucker
Threat Level: Brown - S
Strength: High
Ability: Drain, Stab, and fly
Offense: Average
Defense: Weak
Weakness: Anything
Description: The Blood Sucker are mosquito like heartless with the ability to drain other creatures of not just magic but also strength, age, and anything that makes that being alive. Like all mosquitos it also contain poison other beings once making contact with extra side effects. The Blood Sucker while appearing like a mosquito also has blue like skin with yellow eyes and red mouth like needle, the needles acts as the sword or other things. The Wings appear with thin like looking through glass, but also has the ability to maintain flight even if still. They also have a special move called Death Charge, this allow the heartless to strike quickly in short and long distance, but have no control of their speed and reaction time.
You must survive!
Ready!
FIGHT!
Once everyone ran down they found themselves cornered by the one heartless with the two behind them. But before anything can happen, Peter that is standing behind Judy and Peter jump at the front heartless and manage to surprise it by bashing the heartless against the wall. This allow them to escape while the two tried to stab them, instead they hit the marble floor as Judy and Peter ran towards the exit. Peter followed behind as he help close the door behind them knowing the heartless would follow them without resistance. But as he held the door back Judy and Peter took this time to breath and take in the situation.
"What are you two doing run!" He ordered, only for Judy to demand answers from him, "Okay first, who are you and what are those things?" She was not having a good day, and needed to know what is going on.
"Well maybe before I answer, can you two explain what is happening." Peter questioned back, he tried to keep the heartless back as they bash against the door he's holding. But then without answer suddenly stop making the three question what happen.
"Are they gone?" Peter Shepard asked, Peter Cree at something and respond, "No." Suddenly the three heartless smashed the window as the mosquitos from before came back for rematch, "Get in!" He shouted as Peter and Judy Shepard rush back in just before the Mosquitos reach them. The Heartless realize they went back in, but this time Peter grab the two and shouted, "Hold on!" Then ran up the stairway faster then any human all the way towards the attic. Just as he did he saw the Mosquitos have arrive the same way the heartless came out. Ducking underneath them he then jump on over as the heartless just climbed up, Judy and Peter Shepard screamed in fear, then allowed gravity to take hold This resulted on stepping on one heartless as it vanished underneath, knowing the heartless have broken through glass, his mind is able to process where to go as he saw in that second which of the three came through what window. Understanding this allowed Peter Cree to charge over and go through while jumping sideways for the window for all three to fit through.
He didn't stop running as he can tell the mosquitos are following behind faster then the heartless. Rushing through the front door then out towards the road, he slide on the road and ran towards one direction where the road is leading. The Mosquitos could keep up with Peter Cree's Speed, but the two heartless could knowing where their target is located. With this the mosquitos flew to whatever direction they will be heading while the heartless Blood Suckers followed their own trail.
Farther away, Judy and Peter Shepard took a breather after dealing with one excitement and another. Judy and Peter took the time to notice Peter's Cree's horn like ears, how they move back and forwards like bunny ears or other animal like ears. Where they are located appeared like some green field with only trees and some house around them, while they appear on open area, it was better then being killed by whatever those things were if he hadn't saved their lives.
"Okay... now that we have the time ourselves, what the actual heck is going on here!" Peter Cree shouted.
"What do you mean by that, we were trying to survive from those mosquitos and those black things tried to kill us." Judy shouted back.
"There called heartless, creatures from the darkness that take form by stealing people's heart and sometimes are just dark beings from the realm of darkness. At least that's what I understand." Peter Cree explained.
Peter Shepard could only say, "What!" That his ridiculous explanation, but Judy understand what they are and how they came, "That message... that's what it meant by shadows from above." She told her brother from moments earlier.
Out of the loop, Peter Cree look at Judy by saying, "Message?" He asked. Judy explained how for a while they were hearing drums that came from the attic. But it turned out to be some form of supernatural board game called Jumanji that released some form of monsters. However at the mention of Drums, Peter Cree realize that Key was taken by some powerful force from Jumanji, which meant if he plans to take this one, he would have to destroy Jumanji somehow.
"Okay... I think I get the gist of things. But what would have made you two think it was good idea to play this board game?" He spoke almost demanding their answer.
"What do you expect, that drumming wouldn't stop so we got curious and found it." From Peter Shepard's explanation he couldn't blame the two, but slowly sigh with one hand covering his face.
"Look, let's just find out what to do and then." Before he could say anything, shadow heartless appeared surrounding them in 10 total.
"Again!" Before they could react Judy and Peter Shepard are grab by Peter Cree who lifted them up and jump over the group of Heartless. Then ran as he knew they couldn't defend themselves towards their assume house knowing where they live. But before reaching that place, they are stop by two Blood Suckers with 10 Shadows behind surrounding them.
"Dang it." One Blood Sucker charge in to stab, but is then jump over by Peter Cree. In Midair the second Blood Sucker attack, forcing Peter to drop Judy and Peter Shepard and grab the needle end, which then force Peter Cree on the ground where he felt it stab his body. For Judy and Peter they quickly got up and started to run with shadow Heartless following behind. Peter Cree had to finish this quickly, but has felt his strength weaken thanks to the needle end makes one small stab enough to drain him. The Second Heartless was about to help, only for Peter to twist his body enough for the Blood Sucker to stab it's follow heartless. This cause both in a shock and daze state, enough to force Peter to gain his strength quickly and ran for Judy and Peter's location.
With the two, Judy ran towards a house that is open field, she and Peter kept on running knowing those Heartless as they are called want to kill them. But one shadow manage to in front of their path scaring the two, as the others gathered Peter Cree came in dash sliding as he manage to knock out two heartless, the front shadow jump to catch Judy and Peter only for them to split and punch by Peter Cree. After many adventures in these world's Peter Cree remained himself that if he couldn't protect these two, then what good is he to help his friends, another part of his mind accepted that fights will happen, but he will only kill none living beings such as Heartless and other monsters.
The Other heartless didn't like their friend being beaten, deciding to attack as one group. Judy and Peter Shepard moved in time as Peter Cree jump back, The heartless sunk in the floor and tried to attack all three of them, five of them would go after Peter Cree and the four after Judy and Peter Shepard. With Peter Cree he grab the nearest Heartless and smack the other as both vanish into darkness, another tried to grab Cree only for him to grab both Heartless with two separate hands and jump back from their fifth comrade. This allow him to smack both heartless head together as they vanish then punch couple of times destroying another shadow heartless.
With Judy and Peter they ran until the two heartless stood in front of them with two behind. As the six stand still to see if someone will make a move or not, The two Blood Suckers decide to attack the weaker pair knowing they should be easy kill. Unfortunate for them Judy look back and shouted, "Peter Look out!" Pointing at the Blood Suckers, this gave them enough time to move away from each other. Unknowing the Shadow Heartless tried to jump them, but are killed by Blood Suckers comrades, accidently destroying four heartless at once. As Judy and Peter decide to run, Cree came towards them as the Blood Sucker charge once more. Seeing this he grab their needle ends in just right timing, and tried to hold them in place as he slide back with his feet press against the ground. With what strength remains Peter Cree smash the two together eliminating the Heartless threat once and for all.
All three are tired and exhausted they stood or laid down for a bit before talking, "So... who's up for ice cream." Cree awkwardly asked, as the two look at him like he's nuts.
"Are you really suggesting we just walk up and have ice cream and pretend this didn't happen?" Judy said in outrage.
"I wouldn't mind ice cream." Peter Shepard told his sister.
Peter Cree smiled and said, "Names Peter." While offering his hand.
"Huh, your name the same as mine." Peter said, this earn some chuckle from both Peters. Judy rolled her eyes and said, "Names Judy Shepard, he's Peter Shepard. Guess we could have ice cream before we try getting back." Judy cave in and relax, the three then walk as Peter Cree lead the way making sure it was safe.

Barntford - another location
Suddenly from nowhere a portal appeared in what appeared near an run down factory. From this spot appear Droopy who is shaken by the experience and Jerry the mouse who shook after what they went through.
"You know what... we're lost." Droopy said to Jerry, who look back and nod in agreement.
"Perhaps we can find answers until we find everyone else." Droopy said with Jerry jumping on his shoulders as Droopy walk about in two legs, but then change to four legs after seeing people, knowing he has to obey the rules of said world that hasn't develop space travel.

Parrish House Attic - hour or half later
"So you guys just moved in sometime ago, heard of some drumming from upstairs, and even skip school only to find out something happen like mosquitos and heartless started to appear after rolling dice?" Cree asked in clarification.
"When you put it that way it sounds dumb." Peter said to Cree.
"That's because... sorry, I shouldn't be saying this, I have been through a rough experience lately." Cree said remembering what he just went through, sometimes he forgets others go through traumatic experience first times.
"So what should we do with it?" When Judy asked Cree, he look at her saying "Why you asking me?" Type of look, "What... you had experience with those monsters, so what should we do?" Cree had one thing in mind, walking towards the board game he brought his hands up and was attempting to smash this cursed game. But just as he made small contact, he's bounce back slamming on his back from the unseen force.
"Urgh…. that is one mess up board game." Cree said rubbing his head. Before more could be discuss Peter Shepard rolled the dice as Judy tried to stop him. As he done this Cree watch as the piece moved on it's own. Shepard look at the jewel and said.
It's skin is black,
hide from light.
Strikes like thunder,
death by shadow.
Peter and Judy look at each other with Cree Commented, "That's comforting." But then once more show another message once more.
This will not,
be an easy mission.
Monkeys slow,
the expedition.
Suddenly the three heard noises downstairs, "Something's downstairs." Judy and Peter ran downstairs with Cree following behind to make sure they are safe from what harm came around. But unnoticed to them, something slithered towards Jumanji somehow knowing they will return.
Once the three walk downstairs towards the kitchen they open the doors slightly, revealing monkeys playing around and messing with the kitchen. But among the mess Cree spotted someone in the center slowly awaking but is pestered by monkeys.
"Marcy!" This gain the attention of the monkeys, but Cree made quick work jumping in to grab Marcy, then ran back before the monkeys threw something with food or knives. Judy and Peter followed behind Cree as he laid her down away from the kitchen on some couch for rest.
"She your friend." Judy asked.
"Yes... her names Marcy. She and I have been traveling since this adventure began. Marcy is looking for someone named Simon, he has some somewhat blue skin as her, but for different reasons." Cree explained. Peter look at Marcy then comment," She's pretty." He whispered, but is heard by Judy and Cree who stood beside her.
"She's younger then you Peter." Judy told her brother then look at Cree, "How she end up there?"
"... That game... it must have brought us here." Cree muttered loud enough for them to hear. Suddenly they heard door slammed, Peter Shepard went towards the window to check what happen and saw the Monkeys are leaving.
"You think there are others being brought here by chance." Judy caught on that the more they play the most likely case everyone that is involve will somehow appear with them.
"I think so... which means if my friends can only be brought here by playing Jumanji. Then we have to play the game." Peter Cree could almost curse himself at the fact something like this could happen. While having no real experience with magic or fighting villains, he can guess the only way to save his friends is he helps Judy and Peter play the game. The two then heard Peter gasp, turning around they saw Peter is standing still staring at something. Facing that direction Cree and Judy look what he's seeing and stood frozen in fear of what they are looking. At the bottom of the stairway is one long snake with black skin and some red spots or stripes, it stared at the three children waiting to make it's move.
"What is that thing." Cree whispered almost fast and fearful tone.
Judy Reply, "It's anaconda, sometimes referred to as water boa's." This made both Peter's gulp at this thing, slowly the anaconda realized as its size are being revealed.
"You can fight that... right?" Peter Shepard asked Peter Cree when glancing, but judging by his fearful look it was already answered, "I-I only been to some worlds..." Cree stuttered in his words, "B-B-But never had... (Gulp) to fight animals like this." He finished while whispering.
"Maybe, if we back up slowly." Judy's advice become unheard once the Anaconda Hissed loudly. Making the trio realize their situation, "RUN!" Peter Cree ordered, He quickly pick Marcy's unconscious body up and followed behind Judy and peter who fled towards the Library. Quickly closing the door, The trio then made their way towards the glass door for quick escape. The Anaconda followed behind slithering faster then average snake, even stronger then the average Anaconda managing to pierce through the wooden door and followed outdoors.
"Aunt Nora's going to kill us." Judy comment as they ran.
"That be the least of your worries, we need to get back upstairs and somehow fight this thing." Peter Cree said as they manage to walk towards the front door and soon climbed the stairs, from their the Anaconda followed them behind using their scent to track around the house.
"Why the attic, shouldn't we run from it?" Judy asked to understand what he's planning.
"That's the point, the attic most likely has something we could use to defend ourselves. If we could somehow push it off from the highest point we may stand a better chance of surviving." As all four are now up at the attic, Judy and Peter Shepard are willing to follow his plan. If this works they might survive another turn before they could figure out what they will face next. The Anaconda made it's way around the house in such speed but instead of going through the front door like the glass door it broke, the anaconda instead used the broken windows and slithered up stairs towards the attic. For some reason it has smelled something very sweet and possibly tasty, but could not determine where that smell came from. But it knew that one of those four prey had that scent, otherwise it wouldn't enjoy itself.
When they have reach the attic, they check for anything that could be used for fighting. The idea is to find some substitute weapons to fight this snake, Peter Cree place Marcy next to the Jumanji game, but didn't see her stir up slowly with eyes opening. Cree manage to find what appears to be some music stand that is left unused, Judy pick up the tenuis rack once more, Peter however tried to look but found nothing. Yet after some searching look at the Jumanji game, having some idea what he could do next to save them.
Marcy came too and blink few times while shaking her head, "Peter?" Cree came to her relived to see she's okay.
"Sorry we got no time to chat gottasurvivefirst." Peter Cree talk fast at the end. Judy stayed close with Marcy as Cree listen in on the door despite his metal horns lean against the door for a moment, "Hi I'm Judy and this is PETER!" Judy shouted seeing her brother almost pick up the dice if he was shook by his sister's shouting. Cree look at her direction and saw what Peter was trying to do, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the heck are you doing!" He nearly shouted the same, and stopping Peter from making a mistake.
"I figure if I rolled the dice we might bring something to kill it." Peter Shepard explained to Peter Cree.
"But then we would have twice the problem then before, you want to take that kind of chance." Cree shouted with some anger, after surviving one heartless horde fighting an anaconda snake is not his idea of fighting. But then Cree stop for a moment then shouted with wide eyes, "LOOK OUT!" Cree face the doors direction in time as the Anaconda with incredible strength burst the door down creating a hole, this force Cree to block this snake from biting him. The Anaconda became so focus on it's prey it didn't understand it's surroundings, Judy came in swatting her tenuis racket on its head. Directed on that moment, Cree rolled on top of the Anaconda bashing its head couple of times on its back head using the ground. This daze the snake giving Cree enough time to drag it's body while holding the head section like some football. This allowed everyone to escape as Peter grab the game while Cree distracted the snake. Just as they had escape Cree manage to ram its head against the piano knocking it out for a moment. Running back Cree almost got tangled by it's tail. Yet had moved away to ram the remaining door off it's hingers. Cree grab on the stairway rails and slide down as fast as he could.
Down below Marcy, Judy and her brother Peter had finally got downstairs. But instead of going one direction Peter went towards the Kitchen catching his sister off guard for a moment and followed behind.
The Anaconda recovered quick to give chase once more. But instead of taking the stairs it look out on the edge to see its target. Then it saw Cree on the end rail after reaching the second floor. Both of them stared at each other as to gauge each other's strength. For most of it short yet wild life the Anaconda has killed many people, in fact it has enjoy the taste of human flesh. Yet this one, had this weirdly sweet scent. On closer look the individual has human like traits, yet has horns on it's sides where the human ear is suppose to be located. The scent this human gave off had made the Anaconda Curious and something else, the human smell like any other human it has killed, yet has this lovely sweet smell that snakes would never had imagined, this human also sent signals to it's brain and body on debate to either eat this human, or make friends for some reason.
Cree in question had been slowly back away as the Anaconda slowly slithered down on the second floor, the two keep their eyes on each other as Cree is forced almost back to an corner. From the very back is only one bed room that would leave to no room of escaping, the Anaconda slowly back Cree towards the Bedroom door as the two watch their moments. Just as Peter Cree tried to think of any other ideas, some reason the eyes of the Anaconda are not intention of killing, but more so with... curious look. The Anaconda is about few inches from his face, staring at Cree's soul through the eyes. At the same time is smelling his scent, trying to debate what it should do. Cree started to sweat and show signs of fearful expressions, but the Anaconda didn't try to kill him. I fact it was now barely touching his skin with the snout as it's tongue touch his neck.
Suddenly the Anaconda look back feeling pain on it's tail while hearing Peter, Judy and Marcy shouting, "HEY!" Gaining his attention, the Anaconda slithered back only to feel something on it's face. Peter Shepard threw Pepper on it's face then proceed to throw more apples that they had left, this gave Peter Cree enough time to rush in and grab the head quick enough to toss over the edge and slammed its body against the wall and fell down on the stairway with its upper body and ground with the lower body.
When all four look over the edge they couldn't help but flinch at the loud thud and where it landed, "You didn't have to kill it?" Peter Shepard said to Cree, even Marcy agreed with one nod from her.
"I mean... I know it's for our survival but... ow that's painful to look." Throwing glance down and flinching every time. But then Marcy scream along with Judy, to see the Anaconda survive. When it look up at Peter Cree they shared one stare for what felt like hours, then it slithered away towards the exit away from the house. The four slowly walk downstairs to see if it was safe. After awhile they realize the Anaconda had left without much resistance.
"Guess you scared it off." Marcy comment, without warning Peter hug Marcy as he didn't think she be okay or safe. She hug him back, having been through rough experience as well, "Maybe we should take a break." Judy said already tired from the experience. As they took some break they had whatever wasn't destroyed by the monkeys, Judy and Peter S chose to make some sandwich with what they can grab, Peter C had some apples or bananas surprising along with Marcy who chose to relax as they sat eating from the living room. Judy and Peter S asked some question about the two and in return they asked about them, what their lives like school and other kid talk.
After they had their meals, Peter C is explaining to Marcy about what has happen and what is going on at the moment. The two have been through a lot as of late, going through separation, having to find their friends. Practically so much is going on they couldn't keep track of it all, on top of that they are alone by themselves without anyone to defend them. Even worse they have to help two others about their same age to fend off some animals from the supernatural board game called Jumanji. With this quick explanation, Judy went too look at the direction and caught something she missed.
Adventures beware:
Do not begin unless,
you intend to finish.
The exciting consequences
of the game will vanish,
only when a player reach,
Jumanji and called out it's name.
After reading the second instruction, Peter C could only look at the two saying "Really" at how easy they could have missed this warning. But at the same he could have missed this message as easily as them. Sometimes it would have been out of impatience, that and despite being thousand years old still is a child body and mind considering many are older and smarter then him.
"Shouldn't we destroy this thing or something?" Marcy said what some used to think.
"I doubt it would be that simple, if it can somehow bring your heartless monsters to this place and animals of any sort, we wouldn't be able to destroy it." Judy clarified.
"That and it may bring whoever is from other worlds to this place. We might be able to bring everyone that got separate together, but maybe we should arm ourselves in case something happens like that Anaconda, I rather not repeat that chase a third time." Peter C said, just as everyone was about to search, Marcy grab Peter C by the sleeve asking him to wait.
Once judy and Peter S have left, the two are alone without anyone to bother or interrupt their conversation, "I'm glad your okay." She said to Peter, "So am I." He replied back. The two sat on the stairway in silence, even if they have met each other after separation they felt drain, more like exhausted from everything that has happen and possibly what will happen. So much emotions mixer around, unable to process what has been happening.
"I wished we be done with this." Peter look at Marcy with worry, even his horns bend back like an sad puppy, "When I was... capture by those guys, I didn't know what was going to happen. That guy calling himself Sizer, he simply just tied me up saying it was better then having to face her boss." She stop for a moment staring into nothing as Peter place his arm around her.
"It's okay, we'll be fine." Marcy then shoved his arm lightly, "It's not... I was almost sold Peter... those guys at my home, they would have done worse if we didn't escape. I lost my Mom, lost my home, lost Simon the only one who saved me, almost lost you at times. Tell me how many times must I feel I'm going to lose someone?!" She nearly shouted as tears started to came slowly down her cheeks. Peter lowered his head a bit, having no real answer to what is happening and what they should do next. Throughout this adventure they have been through many hard times, some were fun to explore, some had funny moments even if weird. But as they started to travel more worlds, the dangers began to increase, some even to the point they should have died, but are saved by other forces around them.
"Sorry... I don't know what to say." Marcy then sat on his legs staring at him, trying to reach her arms around Peter and saying, "Just... don't." Peter return the gesture and held her in place, while Peter lay his head slightly on her head, Marcy felt great comfort by hearing Peter's heart beat. When Judy and Peter S came back, he brought what appear as kitchen knives, and some others they could use for later, Judy chose a baseball bat for harder hit, using a tenuis racket wasn't going to cut it. If the game would throw some Anaconda at them, they needed to upper their game as well. They saw both of them tired and wanting to rest some more.
"We should give them sometime." Judy advised, agreeing to his sister they decided to sit somewhere until the two are ready to continued the game.
After Peter C and Marcy had their moment of quiet, everyone had gathered with Peter C and Marcy arming themselves. Peter C choose the frying pan with rolling pin, Marcy had some knife with oddly a fork alongside, Judy had her baseball bat on the side with a rubber mallet, and Peter S had some Tools like a wrench and hammer in hand.
"No matter what happens, we have to finish this game and get through whatever it will throw got it." Judy said to everyone, nodding their heads as they understood the stakes of these next turns they will face.
"Right, so who goes next?" Peter C asked.
"It's Peter, he rolled double right?" Judy asked her brother.
"Yeah, two one's." Peter S then grab the dices and rolled a 5 on it, once the piece moved once more shocking Marcy, words appeared.
Pride has no value,
without its head.
When together,
they hunt in strength.
"What does it mean by pride?" Peter S asked his sister, "Maybe for symbolism." Another message came this time creating tension.
His fangs are sharp,
likes your taste.
Your party better move,
poste haste.
"Wasn't the Anaconda enough?" Peter C said in annoyance, suddenly they heard some smashed and crash around them the group stood close near the stairway. Then some small growling noise is heard, along with more that is heard. Slowly they saw what appeared a lion slowly walking in front of the front entrance. This made them freeze on the spot, unsure how they will get out of this one.
"Okay... that's impressive." Is Peter C's only comment on the game's power of bringing challenges to face.
"It must be a hallucination, there's no way the game would be this cheap." Judy tried to assure not liking their chances. When the Lion roared, this forced them into action, mostly everyone needing to run. However Peter C knew if they run the lion would have caught them easily. Peter C decide to face the lion and slammed the frying pan, the hit itself wouldn't have hurt if he was ordinary human. But because of his half-human and half-Gundarion Peter had been gifted with superhuman abilities, but is still held back by human limitation if pushed too far.
Regardless Peter C manage to daze the lion enough time to see the others, but then saw they came back down as quickly. They then ran towards the other direction only to return back and tired the other but stop. What appeared are purplish like monsters with some stripes, these are gem monsters from Z9's pack. Somehow they are brought here leaving them stuck with no way of fighting these odds. About 14 of gem monsters have surrounded them, the lion slowly got up now more angry at the child for hitting him. Everyone stood together at the center with the Lion blocking the upstairs.
"Right out of the frying... and into the fire." Marcy said for this situation.
Judy and Peter S gulp at this predicament, but held their stance as their want to make sure they can fight. As the Lion was about to kill his prey, something jump off the edge and stab the gem monster on it's forehead, causing the monster to puff into a single gem. This gain the attention of the monsters and Lion's attention at the strange man in green and brown clothes. But something else came around jumping from above is the a small brown creature, Marcy and Peter C recognize it as Drake. The other gem monsters didn't like their own taken out. The Gem Monster on the strange man side is being fought with Drake taking on four others that are trying to crush him. While the lion decides to eat this man as it's prey. The rest of the gem monsters would try their luck with the children, only for them to run upstairs.
"We need to find another place, I'm sick of running up and down the stairs." Peter C complained, which everyone else agreed not liking to go up and down the stairs through the entire game. Couple of the gem monster are trying to reach them, while the strange tried to fight the lion. Drake made quick work on these gem monster aiming for the weak points that are effective for quick take downs. All four didn't stand a chance as couple more tried to attack, but are defeated. The Lion tried to jump the strange only for him to roll aside in time and ran back, but what he did is run up the stairs and jump back knowing the lion would follow behind quickly. This lead to this stranger able to grab the Lions neck and wrestle around, the Lion tried to claw his face or body yet didn't have the time as Drake came in and pounce on it's stomach.
As for the others both Peter's fought back to back, with Peter C smashing the Gem Monsters to smoke with his strong then average swings, Peter S meanwhile manage to dodge and get few hits in that one out with Peter's help, Judy and Marcy backing themselves upstairs the Gem Monsters that are debating on their next move, but gave few swings as Marcy and Judy manage to push them back. Both Peter's came from behind and manage to sneak attack from behind, with Peter C's strength to toss the Gem Monster away while Peter S swat the other from it's behind giving Marcy and Judy a chance to take it out.
Knowing it's not defeated the Stranger ran upstairs as quickly he could run with Drake behind, the lion this time recovered faster and gave chase. When it saw the stranger is upstairs cornered, it charge only for the strange to jump high impressing Drake as the Lion slide on the carpet into the bedroom. Closing the door and strange step away knowing it's still active. As the door is almost busted Drake prepared to finish the job as the lion soon broke free, Drake charge ramming himself with quick strike at the Lion's head, this did incredible damage to finally subdue the beast. The Lion then slowly got up and turn back heading towards the bedroom, where it would rest for sometime.
The Strange paid no heed to Drake despite it's incredible strength, instead went off looking around the house. As the fight seemed to die down everyone came together where the lion is resting on the second floor.
"Drake!" Marcy went up and held Drake close to her, in returned showed affection for Marcy.
"Whoa, cool fox." Peter S said about Drake, when it notice the two Drake walk to them as both petting and stretch his ear and rub his stomach.
"Looks like we have to play the game, if Drake game came here then so will the others." Peter C said observing the scene.
"Can we at least rest first, I think that lion was enough." Marcy triedly said sitting down resting from the fight.
"Is that guy friend of yours?" Judy asked Peter C.
"No, I thought he was some random guy." When Peter C said this, both Judy and her brother Peter got curious. Everyone look at the lion one more time, now assured it wasn't going to cause trouble, but shook in fear when the gem monsters regenerated once more. But instead of attacking they walk downstairs or anywhere to lay down for rest.
"I guess when we beat the lion, they must have given up as well." Judy stated.
"That's good, cause I rather not go through that again." Agreeing with Peter C, they went off to check on the stranger wondering what he's up too. When they found the stranger he appears to be looking at someone's old room that has been long forgotten over the years.
When he face the kids he asked, "Somebody rolled a five or eight?" when asked Judy replied, "He did." Pointing to Peter S.
"DA AH!" He charge at them with joy, after running after them he gave many thanks to Peter S for some reason and ran downstairs as everyone watch with disbelief.
"What the heck?" Marcy muttered as they heard the Stranger shout for Mom and Dad, when they walk downstairs they met with the stranger as he asked, "Are you my little brothers and sisters?"
"Um no, These two Judy and her brother Peter live in this house and we just happen to be visiting, but more importantly who the heck are you?" Peter C asked the Stranger.
"My names Alan Parrish, do you know where are Mom and Dad? Alan asked.
"Wait... your Alan Parrish?!" Judy said in shock.
"Yes... I was gone for sometime, but now I came back." Alan seems to still be in joy unaware of his surrounds.
"Hold on, you two said he's suppose to be dead." Peter C asked in confusion, but this made Alan confused at what he meant, "What do you mean?" Everyone look at Alan in worry even Drake and Marcy who are just trying to wrap around the situation, "Where's my Mom and Dad?" Once more asked the same question.
Hearing Alan's confuse they couldn't help by tense at what they need to explain, Judy then tells him, "We don't know, this house has been abandon for years, everyone thought you were dead." When he heard such devastating words he slowly ran out the front door. Everyone else then followed making sure Alan doesn't get into trouble, Peter C quickly grab the board game not sure what happen if they left it here. When they spotted Alan, trouble had already found him as a police car drove his direction, Alan then had jump on the roof of this man's car, and is now asked what year is now. Judy said it was 1996, she then tried to explain to the cop while lying about Alan's history.
At this time Peter C and Marcy walk up to Alan in concern, "You alright?" Marcy asked.
"No... no I'm not alright." Alan had what could be describe as a distant look, no longer able to look on the ground and his surrounds the same, "I been trap in that thing for many years, Thinking I would have been killed this way or that way. Just as I finally escape... 26 years have been taken from me. I don't know where my parents are, have no idea if my friends remember me, apparently I have no home if those " Hearing that Alan been gone that long made their jaws slowly drop from just how long he's been missing. While Marcy doesn't understand what was happening yet, Peter C got the gist of it and is shock beyond belief of what he heard. It's one thing to be gone for couple of years, but to be missing for that long and without anyone knowing says much about what he's been through by himself.
"Well maybe there is something good-" Marcy is interrupted by Alan shouting at the police car, "Get out of there!" Everyone look at him funny as he answered, "Monkeys." The policeman name Carl asked Judy and Peter S, "Is he alright upstairs?" as Judy continue the lie, Alan is... doing something which somehow ended with the shotgun going off, which turned out as Monkeys actually hijack Carl's car and drove off.
"Where you going!" Judy shouted at Alan running towards one direction.
"To find my parents!" He shouted back, everyone else then pursuit Alan running through what was once a nice town in his days.
-0-0-0-
Barntford Town - Alan and company
The Town became a nightmare in Alan's eyes. What was once a friendly town is now reduce to former shell of itself, many are now homeless without jobs as stores been shut down. Alan even saw the once great statue filled with graffiti, looking at the statue Alan became more sadden as he ran through town, with only one place left he ran towards the shoe factory he once knew with everyone else following behind. But as Alan ran towards the shoe factory, what he saw devastated him like no other. Seeing the once proud factory that belong to his father's is reduce to some old run down factory no longer able to work or afford by anyone.
Alan then walk inside to find everything has been in ruins, shock and grief by what he's seeing. Slowly took everything he is looking at and sees how much of his life is now change for worse. When he pick something up he saw some post that showed the shoe company his father owned. Once everyone catch up they look at Alan unable to say any comfort to what he once had.
He look back and said, "My dad used to own this shoe factory, he made the best shoes in the world." But then Alan look up and saw something, running towards it. Peter C then grab both Judy and Peter S with Marcy and Drake listening, "Quick talk, could someone explain how THAT GUY- "Pointing at Alan's direction for emphasis on Alan, "Who is suppose to be dead is now alive and has been missing from what look like some jungle man's clothes." He asked Judy and Peter S.
Judy explained, "Alan Parrish was once the owner along his dad of some shoe company years back, 26 years before his disappearance. There were rumors of him being killed and cut up by his dad. No body found the body of Alan Parrish since then, why you asked?" Judy, Peter S, Marcy and Drake wondered.
"The fact those animals came from nowhere and Alan just somehow came here the same way, that's no coincidence." Peter C brought out the broad game he carried with him, Peter C open the board game for everyone to see then pointed at the two pieces, "Tell me, where did these two pieces came from?" He asked them, before they could answer they saw Alan in new clothes.
They saw him walking towards outside and to somewhere else, but just as they made themselves outside the factory more heartless started to show up in numbers, but also with few newer types of heartless. The Blood Suckers came around now ready to attack, but have also brought some new friends that have taken animal forms, there are some in Powerwild along with other monkey like heartless, but also a new type leading alpha of the monkey heartless. From there are snake like heartless in purple and blue color with a skull mask on it's head colored red with swirling yellow eyes. There are lion heartless colored with green mane and purplish skin like many heartless, along with some yellow glowing eyes almost white and sharp teeth. Beside the lion heartless are other lioness like heartless with only without the mane.
Alan shouted, "What the He !" When everyone came they stood in fear and screamed, Peter C then shouted, "Run!" Everyone didn't question Peter C's judgement as they ran for their lives knowing they could be killed if they look back. Just before the Heartless gave chase, Gem Monsters started to appear in different shape and sizes. They then attack the heartless as they tried devour or kill them, seeing this the small company kept on running trying to avoid conflict with two different monsters. But they weren't out of the woods yet as they began to see more and more of heartless and gem monsters appearing around their area. The Gem Monsters had Flamingo like monsters that carried what appears like some pearl on their heads, then there were some monsters with two legs and mouth with what appears as long tongues, then there are butterfly like monsters. Eventually more heartless type started to appear alongside Gem monsters that followed.
"Where did they come from?" Marcy shouted, Alan then pick her up as he shouted, "Don't look just run, we need to find shelter." Following his lead they kept themselves close together trying to stay alive from this attack.

Escape from wild!
RUN!
As the group kept on running, they came across more gem monsters Marcy and Peter C have encountered with more heartless in their path. The town's folk tried to take cover as the gem monsters and heartless are trying to destroy each other.
"This is madness, aren't they suppose to be the same side?" Peter S asked.
"Not these guys, they are both heartless and some monsters we have encountered. Still to see them duking it out is interesting if not scary at the same time." Peter C explained.
"In either case we need a ride." Alan then guided to one car that gave enough room for the six of them, Judy and her brother Peter sat on the same front passenger seat, while Peter C and Marcy sat on the back with Drake on her lap.
Once in Alan decided to asked them something, "Okay what came out of the game before me and what are those monsters that some reason appeared." Alan demanded.
"Well for a short story the those monsters are outside travelers from space with Peter Cree, Marcy and Drake." The three wave back from behind, "From then came a Lion, Mosquito, Anaconda that was not part of the game and-"
"THAT!" Peter S shouted at the Mosquito that appeared on Alan's side window. Everyone freak out unsure what it will do next, the Mosquito had then started to pierce through the driver window almost breaking through. Everyone then grab their seatbelts as Alan would attempt to drive, but is failing miserably. With peter S help they drove off in time before the Mosquitos got to them. As he drove he tried to avoid many obstacles that block their path, some gems and heartless even tried to attacking them As they drove towards anywhere that is safe, the Heartless and Gem Monsters started to appear less as they venture towards outside of town. Once everything appear safe everyone tried to release themselves as Alan had no apparent driving skills.
"Piece of Cake." Alan Comment, not making it easier for them. Everyone got out not feeling great about the ride, but felt safe enough once they venture out. But what they found made their body shivered a bit. For some reason despite it being daytime, the town they drove towards felt... empty, like something came through and taken the people away.
"Where is everyone." The Streets felt more eerie silent then you would have expected.
"Why does this feel we somehow have entered the Twilight Zone." Alan remarked, the kids look at Alan as he replied, " A show when I was younger." As they explored the town they began to have more eerie feeling stirring up from the inside. There was great relief to them when some cars came through, but not much comfort when it got silent.
"That Heartless and Gem fight must have scared everyone, we can barely see anyone." Marcy comment observing the houses that felt empty.
"How can those things have scared everyone, shouldn't the police or military do something?" Judy said to herself.
"From what we have experience, the heartless and gem monsters are way out of their league." Is all Peter C could say, what most of them didn't realize is Alan is walking towards the cemetery. When they arrive they didn't question Alan until he came towards a certain grave stone, one with both parents names on them. Everyone stood back in silence allowing him to grieve and process what is happening. Judy and Peter S came towards him with some comfort, but that did little to no good as Alan began to move once more.
"Come on, we have to finish the game so this would go away." Judy argued.
"Not interested, I was trap in that thing for 26 years, not doing it anymore." Alan argued still walking towards the road but with more caution as the town sounded dead quiet.
"But you have to before aunt Nora comes back." Judy argued once more.
"So what, because I have been for 26 years you have the right to own my house." Alan stared at the two and others when they gave their deadpan stare towards him.
"Okay guess that was on me, but now I'm back and alive I'll set the record straight that the house belongs to the Parrish. As long as I'm around, that house is rightfully mine." As Alan and everyone made their way towards the road, someone drove in high speed almost hitting them. When they look back they saw Heartless flying there direction, but instead of attacking them it chose to chase the car.
"Somehow I feel this was our fault." Peter C muttered.
"Come on." Alan then lead them towards one house that had it's door open, but on the side appeared some hole like a truck drove through. When they entered they took this moment to rest knowing what they might face later. As they rested Judy and Peter S tried once more to convince Alan to help defend against what was thrown from the game. At the same time Peter C, Marcy and Drake took this moment to rest knowing they would be facing more obstacles later on. They sat in silence resting their heads against one another. Drake felt down when he could have done more, but lately he couldn't figure out what to do or how to get strong. While indeed he's a pokemon, Marcy and Peter aren't trainers like his last one. That and in order to get stronger he would have to somehow evolve into something more then now.
While everyone is resting Alan took the moment to shave himself, although a little be scratch from his shaving he manage to make himself decent. Guess being in the game for so long will do that to you. Afterwards he put back the clothes he borrowed and pack some food. While this would be breaking an entering, the situation didn't seemed to care about the law. In fact from Alan's perspective he actually felt alright with the laws of jungle. Living in one can change the way you view the world, making even the great civilaztion that has advance in technology actually feels primitive to now.
"How about we play the game and you watch." Judy suggest to Alan who ate an apple.
"Thanks I seen it." Saying no, already having experience it once. While the group decide to move around not feeling safe at the mansion with the lion and gem monsters that are there.
"But we have to finish the game, it's the only way this will go away." Judy tried to remind Alan of this rule.
"Yeah well you can do that without me, all you two need is to finish the game by yourselves, don't need me to watch your every move." Alan walk until he reach an bench to sit on relaxing as he enjoy the view despite the clouds above. Everyone felt they couldn't convince him because he had traumatic experience over the years and has chose to not be involved.
"Come on let's go, he's afraid." Peter S said but this made Alan stand looking at him, "What did you just say." Demanding for Peter S to repeat his words.
"Your afraid, it's nothing to worry about." But just as they were about to move somewhere to play, Alan ran towards them standing in front to block their path, "Oh you kids have no idea what your dealing with." Alan warned trying to get them to stop from making the biggest mistake.
"I don't know about Judy and Peter, but me, Marcy and Drake had at least encounter far worse things." Peter C assured Alan.
"Really, care to elaborate" Alan asked.
"We have at least fought Heartless that steals people's hearts, some weird looking monsters called Primids that steals warriors and sends them to another dimension. Some beastly like monsters that you just saw in color with gems on their bodies, transforming cars that try to hunt us down and kill us on some road trip. Had small encounters with monsters known as orcs that work alongside the wicked witch of the west, believe it or not. Then just recently have counters some Mercs that we once ran from because of their shady deals, and some species that shouts "Exterminate" as they try to kill us and take our former friend Iron Giant. And even been sent here by some board game called jumanji that for some reasons expect people to play its sick games for death match." At Peter C explanation everyone including Marcy and Drake look at him weird.
"What... that's what we been surviving from all those adventures, wasn't going to lie about them." Peter bluntly said.
"Okay fair point, but you two don't know what your messing around." Alan said directly at Judy and Peter S.
"It's okay, We don't really need your help." But is suddenly grab by Alan as he stare down at them with almost bag eyes, "I don't think so... you think Lions, Monkeys, Mosquito is the worse, you haven't seen anything. I seen things that make your nightmares look fake, there are even things you couldn't see. And at the dark, you can hear screams all around you, and you can only pray to god that your not next." While in truth Peter S was trying to convince Alan to join by tricking him, but when he got serious, his started to feel really scared of what they might be facing. At this point only a few words could be spoken, "So... your going to help us?" he asked.
"I'll watch." Alan had straighten himself after trying to warn them, "I'm not afraid." Is all Alan said as they then continue to walk behind him.
"Reverse Psychology, our dad used to do that." Peter S said to their friends.
"Clever." Peter C replied.

Barntford Park - Alan and Company
Judy and Peter S mentally and possibly physically prepare themselves sitting on a stone table and chairs. Peter C, Marcy and Drake had place themselves on standby in case something were to happen.
"You guys ready?" They asked, the two gave their thumbs up with Drake putting up his little paw, "Okay just one moment." Judy got up and snuggled Drake, unable to contain her squeals over the small fox as she calls it Peter S got and held Drake as well unable to help himself.
Alan look at their cute moment and muttered, "For once there's something that doesn't try to eat me." Alan can remember all those times he had to hide and survive the horrors of the jungle. It was the worst thing to happen, but out of it seems to make him strong.
"So we're ready or do you guys need another minute?" Peter C asked the two.
"Nope, we're good." Judy then took the dice and rolled them, except this time nothing happen.
"I'll try again." Judy rolled the dice once more only for to have same results.
"Alan it isn't working." When he heard this he turn and look at the game board, before he was pacing because he wanted to see if anything would appear. His survival instincts would have kick in if something were to happen. When Alan look at the board his eyes laid on two familiar pieces he never thought would see, this made him realize why Judy couldn't move.
"Oh no, it's not your turn." Alan whispered.
"No, I rolled and Peter rolled doubles and went again so it's my turn." Judy said.
"He didn't mean that." Everyone look at Peter C in question, "You once played the game, the way you react looking at the board game, even jump when you see it from nowhere. You were one of the two who played this game 26 years ago." Peter C assumed that is what happen, Alan became quiet at the accusation but didn't deny this knowing he would have to open old wounds, when he sat down he told his story.
"Years back I was just an average kid like you guys, wasn't too worried about much had no care in the world. But then one day while riding to my dad's shoe factory, I was being chase by some people who didn't like me for reasons. I got beat up, but then from a construction site I heard... drums." When Alan mention this Judy and Peter S eyes widen at what Alan is implying, "After I search the area I found where the drums came from, it turned out someone buried the board game for who knows how long. It was in some chest from old days, when I got it out I saw this game called... Jumanji. Like a kid I got excited and wanted to play, then when Sarah visited my house she and I played by accident. When she had the dice, Sarah wanted to quit not interested in board games. But that was when we saw the piece move on it's own. When we look at the board it was some message in riddle, but when my turn came I grab the dice and was about to put it away, but the clock spook me... by accident I rolled the dice." Alan stop for a moment remembering everything that had happen, thinking back he wonder what would have happen if he didn't found that cursed board game.
"What was the message?" Marcy asked quietly feeling the tense from his story. When Alan look at everyone he had this scared look, but knew he had to come clean, "After the piece moved the message was "In the jungle you must wait. Until the dice rolls five or eight." At the mention of this hidden message Peter Judy felt horrified by what Alan had been through, knowing now they might be over their heads. Yet despite this, with inexperience combine with younger youth they had more determination to finish the game more then ever.
"You can see why I didn't want to be near. But now understanding why your roll won't work, Sarah and I only played one turn. Which meant two other people can play." He then look at Judy and Peter S with sad eyes completely hurt by what is happening, "This means I have to finish the game. It probably would have been better you didn't get involved, but it's thanks to you I'm free. I thought of avoiding this game, but it turns out once you start... it must be finished." Alan now accepted that there was nothing he could do or run from anymore.
"Alan... where is Sarah?" Marcy asked.

Barntford - Sarah Whittle current resident
As they made their way towards Sarah's current resident, the group had small encounters with some heartless and Gem monsters that seemed more active in their chaotic ways forcing everyone to hide in homes or anywhere away from the situation.
"Why are there more monsters now then before?" Peter S asked concern about the state of their hometown.
"Those heartless are more then likely to have attack this world in numbers, at least that's what our... friends have said." Peter C carefully said knowing that some worlds could not handle the fact cartoon characters are real beings.
"This is the place." Alan reminisce the past of his childhood days. As the group walk up towards the front entrance, they knock a few times waiting for a reply.
"Who is it?" Someone asked.
"We're looking for Sarah Whittle, is she here?" Judy said to the person answering.
"No she's not here, but I will give a call later." And like that shut the doors immediately before they could reply.
"Well then you must know Sarah?" Judy told the person.
"How do you know Sarah?" At first Alan didn't recognize the name since it has been years since then. But when Alan listened to her voice he soon recognize who is she, "Sarah!" Alan whispered in slight surprise.
"No I don't go by that name anymore." She said almost closing the door, but is stop by Alan placing his foot keeping it open, "Sarah Whittle?"
She demanded Alan to know what he's after, "26 years ago you play with a boy on the streets... a game with drums." He asked Sarah.
"How did you know that?" She asked.
"I was that boy Sarah." When he answered Sarah said his name like it was ghost of Christmas past came to warn her, she then the most reasonable thing and fell back in shock into unconscious state, "You killed her." Both Peter said to Alan.

Barntford - Shoe Factory
After awhile Sarah remained unconscious for sometime, they had to force themselves back to Parrish mansion for rest knowing the day will be dark and nighttime would soon come around. Easier said then done as they still had to figure out the gem monster and lion that is roaming around. But what they didn't expect as they neared the mansion is police cars and other department near the mansion trying to contain the situation. In fact along the way they saw many house are being guarded by cops, firemen and others that are trying to hunt down the monsters roaming around. Judy and Peter S saw their aunt Nora is outside with the officers, no doubt upset about what has happen, Judy and Peter S felt guilty not going up to talk with Nora, but the others insisted they go somewhere else. It took lots of effort by Judy and Peter S gave in and agreed to follow Alan towards the shoe factory that's been abandon for sometime.
When Sarah woke up in the shoe factory she once remembered and tried to relax with what food they brought along. The old man from before had left because of the dangers of those monsters, but Alan saw there were somethings he left behind. So now using this factory as their new place to play, everyone gathered around made themselves at home for the moment.
"So... I guess that somehow you been drag into this?" Sarah asked both Peter C and Marcy, so far no one has even comment on her skin color or has only made small remarks that seemed out of respect for her or considered it a skin condition somehow?
"Well to be frank, we sorta just came here because of an lion in his mansion along with those monsters that appered." Peter C explained.
"You mean those things everyone has been talking about." Sarah asked, making everyone eye her weirdly, "The been talk of end of the world as of late, says this town is meant to be destroyed or something weird." She said to them.
"Word gets out fast." Judy comment, some of them starting talking while taking what food that had along for this place. Although they will have to go once more if this place is destroyed or more supplies, for the most part they had to convince Sarah to stay. Not wanting to lose their only chance to beat the game along with Alan and Sarah to patch things up from what the two have been experiencing. But that same all dashed once Alan showed the board game both have been so terrified, made them appear courageous if two adults are up and scared of something they couldn't fathom.
Everyone watch allowing them the time to talk about what they are afraid of and why Alan is asking for her help. From the way this was going Sarah had the same expression and fears as Alan, which makes this even sad or worried for them. While no one can describe what they were feeling they could tell this was something they wanted to forget.
"Sarah, it's real." Alan said but Sarah argued that Alan had died and been cut up to pieces, makes you wonder why people come up with facts that became lies over truth that appears fiction.
"Sarah, Sarah it's all right. Years back we started to play this game, now we're going to sit down and finish the game, and guess what... your turn." Alan gave the dice to Sarah who became more and more terrified by the moment. She tried to give the dice away to someone else, but saw no one would take it.
"How about this, you can give the dice back and you can walk away." Alan offered his hand, only to trick her by allowing the dice to fall past his hands making sure she had her turn.
"Oh my God, how could you do that." Shouting in Panic.
"It's the law of the jungle, you'll get used to it." Alan said to her, when her piece moved the message soon revealed, everyone look down as Sarah read the riddle.
Kings are those,
who rule lands.
But a tyrant,
is someone gone mad.
"It seems the game has change since you and I have played years back, so expect a second message after the first." Alan advise to Sarah.
They grow much,
faster then bamboo.
Take care or,
they'll come after you.
suddenly something drop on the board game, when everyone look up Alan realize what is happening. He told everyone to get back trying to stay at the center, while also telling what to avoid.
Judy and Marcy took notice of an violet flower, "Wow there beautiful." Marcy agreed as they watch the roots grow exceedingly fast.
"Oh yeah there beautiful, just stay away from those they hold poison darts that will kill you and definitely stay away from the big yellow ones." When Sarah asked what Alan is warning them about, Peter S is suddenly drag by one root that is leading them to the end of the wall, only to then reveal an giant plant eating flower that takes their prey for its meals. Everyone held on tightly to Peter S who is struggling to hold on for dear life. But then everyone felt everything became cold, almost like winter came very early.
Princess
At first nobody heard this, but when it was repeated more then once. Everyone thought for a moment this factory somehow became a haunted place, only to realize that everything became to become some winter wonderland as snow and ice began to appear.
Where is my PRINCESS!
Soon the entire room filled with snow and ice, even the flower eating plant release Peter S in order to escape. Once the wind died down, they too more notice of their surroundings that have somehow change from jungle like forest to frozen wasteland.
"Okay, did December somehow came in one night or is this just another way for hallucination." Sarah tried to tell herself, but then they heard some winds blowing from behind What they saw next scared the living daylights as some ice/snow creature covered in blots of shadowy mist covering it, on the head is some ice crown with glowing blueish-white eyes. Everyone stood silent hoping the thing didn't see them, but it's eyes laid on Marcy for some strange reasons.
There you are... my precious princess!"
Then a claw of darkness and snow with ice claw like fingers, slowly reach for Marcy only for Drake to attack with all his might. This force the monster's hand back as everyone made a run past the monster towards outside. Alan by instinct decided to grab the game and ran with them. Drake made sure to grab the monster's attention long enough for their escape. But when the group made it outside they saw the flower hadn't given up as more vine like roots tried to grab them.
"Hurry, we need to get out out of this place." Alan advise, following his lead. Suddenly they heard something explode behind them as it appeared the ice and snow monster had decided to give chase. As they ran the group tried to find themselves a car to drive or anything at this point. As they made their way towards one of the building of some restaurant, the ice and snow monster skid to halt in front of the building. With both hands brought forth snow ready to cover the building. But thanks to the groups quit thinking and some effort they escape from the back leaving the monster behind as the skies started to cover in dark clouds.

Barntford - Sarah's House/Nighttime
"I would say you should stay with your parents, but I guess you can't with some of those police cars outside." Sarah said to them.
"You seemed alright not calling somebody about this?" Peter C asked Sarah.
"From what I seen so far, do you believe anyone would have imagine some board game that brought animals and people with magic?" Sarah pointed out.
"Good point, but are you alright now after that one excitement?" Peter C asked again to Sarah.
"We know your scared, but if we stick together we could beat this. If anything please think about it, we need you to help beat the game. I don't know what you and Alan have been through but we need to stick together." Judy said to Sarah, between everyone Judy and Peter S seemed more determine to actually beat the game more the everyone else, but then again if your told that if everything will go away as long as you finish the game, it makes sense to keep going.
While Sarah wanted to forget what just happen, she couldn't turn down kids for good nights rest. At this point, everyone in town has to stay indoors due to the crisis that is happening. While Judy and Peter Shepard could have tried to contact their aunt Nora, they would have probably been taken somewhere. Even Peter C and Marcy are sleeping on couch or bed. The two that are still up are Alan and Sarah as they have a moment to themselves.
"How did our lives get this crazy." Is all Sarah could say about this mess.
"My fault I figured." Sarah look at Alan almost asking why it's his fault, "Do you remember back when we were kids, when you came after bringing my bike back from my fight." Alan is then interrupted by Sarah who corrected him, "You mean when you got pretty beat up." Sarah gave a playful look as Alan return the smile. The two went silent afterwards for who knows how long.
"Feels like yesterday we were just having fun playing around, being just kids without a care in the world. But then this happen and we were alone for long time." Sarah said.
This made Alan chortled at what she said, "Alone... I always had something trying to eat me, after all "in the jungle you must wait, until the dice rolls 5 or 8" I don't think alone describe what has been happening in those years." This offended Sarah a bit commenting, "I was a little girl Alan, and bats... were surrounding me, I was scared." She reminded Alan.
"I was scared too, but I guess now we have to finish what we started." Alan look back where the kids were sleeping, "It was their idea, they knew that continuing the game would be dangerous yet those four kids... must have more courage then we did." Alan and Sarah could only smile at those kids being more braver then them. But also feel more ashamed for not trying to finish what they started, at the same time felt more ashamed for allowing their curious nature even at young age to get better of them.
"Maybe after we finish the game, we could restart from scratch?" Sarah offered showing she was willing to partake only because Alan is here.
"I like that as well, though I'm glad I can use the toilet now." Alan Joked. Suddenly the two heard knocking outside, unsure who it is and why they have come. Sarah walk towards the door for a moment to check, just as she look both Sarah and Alan are given a surprise shock.

Barntford - Morning
When everyone slowly awake, they smelled something good. Some slowly got up still feeling exhausted from all the running around they had so far, after getting themselves washed and dress up for the day. Everyone came towards Sarah's kitchen, from what they see it looks like she indeed had made something good. Waffles, pretty much every family best meals for breakfast with few bacon and sausages. But what caught everyone including by surprise is two other visitors that are sitting with Alan and Sarah who seemed okay for the moment.
"Hello everyone." Is what Droopy said with Jerry having some cheese, eggs and bacon on his own plate.
"Droopy, Jerry!" Marcy and Peter C almost ran towards Droopy and petting Jerry happy to see them. Jerry jump down happy to see Drake again after all this time, as Jerry hug and Drake smiled glad to see them.
"...Your real?!" Both Peter and Judy Shepard said together at the two.
"Why yes... in another planet that is where cartoons go, but here we're suppose to be fiction." Droopy explain to them.
"I must admit, I thought magical board games was worse, but to find out worlds that exist with their own sci-fi and fantasy is bit extreme." Alan bluntly said, as last night they were extremely to the point of losing their brains. But after some talk Sarah and Alan got used to the idea of cartoon characters being real.
"Makes you wonder what other planets are like, those two didn't say a word since they came but said they were looking for their fox friend name drake and others." Sarah then made more waffles for everyone to eat, as they gathered around they started to enjoy their breakfast actually enjoying themselves for once. But as time flew by Sarah knew they would want her to help finished the game, while at first she didn't want to do this out of fear. But now is more willing after their conversation last night, with Droopy and Jerry now joined the party, they had informed them of what has been happening and what they been facing.
"So... Alan and I have been talking... and I will help finish the game, but only if everyone here is willing to play." Sarah pointed to everyone that is in the room, "I mean it, cause I won't be stuck in the game all my life, and neither is Alan. So if you two don't help finish the game, then I can only ask the rest of you to help, understand." Everyone agreed to Sarah's terms.
"Now then, who's turn?" Alan asked.

Barntford - Park
After some trip to this location, Alan almost regretted asking the question. Because now he had to roll the dice, this wasn't easy some would make it, due to this board game being very dangerous and somehow aware of it's surroundings. With some hesitation Alan rolled the dice as he read the riddle.
Eyes are windows,
to souls.
Yet can see,
far without touch.
"So is this going to happen every time we roll the dice?" Sarah asked everyone that knows. Droopy and Jerry have been informed already what is happening and are now providing support for their endeavor to finish the game. Alan then read the next riddle.
A hunter of,
the darkest wild.
Makes you feel,
like a child.
Alan stood in fright from what he read and started to look everywhere as if they are being watch, "What's wrong?" Sarah asked Alan, he whispered in fear, "Van Pelt." Then from behind Alan moved away from his spot as the stone chair is destroyed. When Alan finished reading the riddle Droopy had brought out something from his pocket, because the cartoons usually play different roles with some costumes, Droopy had one time played the knight. When he brought his shield out he block the incoming bullet, stopping whoever else shot at them. Alan however started to run for his life, running towards a car when a man appeared holding a gun and pointed towards Alan. Luckily he duck under for cover as some shots are made.
"You miserable coward, come back here and fight me like a man." Van shouted telling him to stand up, yet decide to shoot him instead of hand to hand. When they heard the shots, everyone took cover trying to stay alive. When the man appeared and insulted Alan for cowardice, Drake grew angry at the man claiming Alan's cowardice when obviously the man wouldn't put his gun down and shoot from far distance. Not willing to watch Drake attack right at Van's back knocking him over. Trying to take advantage Drake jump and planned on pouncing him. Only for Van to grab him and toss Drake aside, just as he got up Van grab his gun and fired right as Drake moved left side. This scared Drake, while he has fought people with guns from the Mercenaries, some of his trainers and Pokemon have been injured or worse killed by those guns. Alan had taken this time to escape while Drake tried to stall him. As much as he would want Van taken down, he knew Van is someone that won't be beaten easily, even in deepest jungle the man is almost unstoppable if he ever met anyone.
"Take that filthy creature away before I used him as fur coat." Van snarled at the group and stood, "I have greater hunt to catch." Van then march until he saw Alan in sight.
Far off on top the factory that now is full of vines and snows with few dead plants. There Snipe is shooting at the group from what can be assume 1 mile without his scope for visual, this combine with better tech has allowed snipes to fire very powerful bullets or regular ones by any given moment. When brought here his instincts started to kick in having one desire to kill the player that rolled the dice. Yet at the same time thought of killing the others as one way of escaping this game. But then that white dog manage to stop him. For a moment he stop shooting wondering if this would let their guard down, but what Snipe didn't count on is Droopy standing behind him.
"Hello Joe." This made Snipe turn to try and kick or kill Droopy, but missed in every swing as Droopy now stood behind him again, "You missed." Thinking quickly Snipe gave Droopy a hand grenade. When he jump down the grenade exploded, knowing he can't stay he had to move out.
"Pipa boo." Realizing he didn't kill Droopy he tried to shoot only for his gun to be clog up by Bugs carrot he pulled from his pockets. This cause the gun to explode backwards like in cartoons and covered in black soot, this actually does damage as Snipe fell backwards unconscious, Droopy then look at the audience and said, "You know what, that was gruesome." He said then walk back.
Back at the streets Alan took cover whenever he could and ran for his life. But then a police Car belonging to Carl happen to drove by and heard shots when Alan ran away. Just as Van came in range Carl took cover behind his police car and demanded, "Drop your gun and keep your hands in the air!" But Van responded by shooting back, unprepared Carl had to wait until he ran out of bullets. With another pest taken care of Van aimed at Alan, but heard clicks meaning he ran out of bullets. Frustrated his prize ran off he moved along, but knew that these sort of things happen and chalk it up as part of hunting "You lose them, but catch them later" which is what he enjoyed of his hunts. Carl look up to see if that crazy guy is gone, seeing him leave he thought about his old job and wished he was back working on shoes.

Barnford - Sarah's house
As they waited Sarah began to use some psychology that she learned sometime ago, while they waited some had some snacks and rested up. Droopy came back ready to chow on some good meals. At the meantime Drake is resting, but is laying next to Marcy shivering somewhat from almost being shot.
"Figures the moment we decide to finish the game, there had to be some weird hunter shooting at us with his gun." Sarah sarcastically said after surviving another mess. She then turn to Droopy asking, "Was that other shooter from another world?"
"Most likely." Is all Droopy said knowing he'll be back for another round.
"Still, this game seems out to kill us. It's like the more we play the worse it gets, how has this been hidden from the world for so long?" Peter C asked Sarah.
"Beats me, I rather not have done this but Alan insisted we play." Sarah complained but had no argument since they did start the game.
"He didn't want too, we just convince Alan we needed him." When Judy clarified this Sarah look at them with her arms on hip saying, "Really?" Eventually Alan made his way towards Sarah's house, everyone rush towards Alan concern and worried for his safety.
"How did you escape?" Peter S asked.
"Well it wasn't too hard, had to wait for Van to run out of bullets. Usually once he has no more, Van walks off and hunts again." Alan assured.
"You seemed to know him, why?" Sarah demanded almost ready to blow a fuse.
"He did try to hunt me down on our meetings, says it's the law of the jungle. Though how that implies to here probably wouldn't make much difference." Alan explain some of his encounters, but then Sarah drag him off somewhere they could talk privately, in few moments they could hear Alan and Sarah shouting after they got into some disagreement.
"Well that figures, one roll of the dice and both of them are now at each other's throats." Peter C commented.
"Maybe we should go without them." Peter S said to everyone holding the dice.
"Probably be best, with everything that's happening we have to keep going." Marcy told everyone, with silent agreement Drake volunteer to stay while everyone else went off so that Sarah's house wasn't destroyed, knowing this game would throw random stuff they couldn't take any chances. After Sarah and Alan finally stop arguing to talk later, they came back only to see no one is around.
"Where's everyone?" Alan then saw the board game is missing and muttered, "Oh no."

Barntford - Park
Judy then rolled the dice as they sat on Stone tables knowing something might happen they could escape easily.
Man's greatest strength,
is cleverness.
Yet beasts are,
brute force.
"I hope it's something easy this time, the hunter thing is old school." Marcy comment.
"Doubt it." Judy replied.
Don't be fooled,
it isn't thunder.
Staying put,
would be a blunder.
"So what are you clubs doing here?" Hearing some stranger they turn, making many of their jaws drop at the sight of this person.
In front of them is some weird guy in baggy pants, but has no shirt or shoes. Yet his feet are like bear feet, with some light grey fur that covered his body except his expose chest and head. The arms are like bear claws that somehow function like human fingers, his skin that appear human are chalk white with red hair on his head, the eyes are neon aqua and bear like nose with sharp teeth in his grinning smile.
"Well, any of you want to say anything before I get pissed off. I don't why I'm here but I have this sudden urge to kill you. So if you give me one reason why I shouldn't follow my instinct as a Beastmen, I might let you all live." He threaten, but just as they were about to move they heard rumbling sounds. Everyone including the Beastman look around to find the source, but then saw what appeared like some heard from a distance away.
"Tsk, stampede." He then look back and saw the group tried to escape, but then jump over then stood in front of them.
"Did I say you lot could escape?" He warned them. But then felt something on his body as Jerry then kick his cheek unaware of this small attacker, and Droopy then jump a bit so he could punch the Beastman hard. This did the trick as they ran off to escape. Sarah and Alan came in two cars shouting for them to get in, this allowed everyone to escape just as the stampede reach them. Sarah took lead point with Judy and Peter Shepard and Drake in her car, while Alan's stolen car had Peter Cree, Marcy, Jerry and Droopy holding on. As they drove through the streets they came to a section where many people are running around destroying stores and wrecking the joint. But moved away quickly when Sarah and Alan honk on the horn including seeing the stampede behind.
After making a quick turn in one alleyway they hide until the stampede pass by them. Once they were gone, everyone relax getting out of the car while taking some deep breaths from the rush.
"What were you kids thinking, you could have gotten yourselves killed." Alan shouted while taking the game for himself.
"We just thought-"Judy is interrupted as Alan continued, "You kids just don't have any ideas what your dealing with, for all we know your probably eaten by some animals with poison teeth or crushed by something." Alan is almost showing red skin from just the anger he felt.
"Whoa, whoa, don't blame them for this, we simply tried-" Alan then interrupted Peter C.
"You stay out of this, ever since you people came, this game somehow got more dangerous then before. Now I don't know what you lot are playing, but I want you-" He then stood back dropping the game by accident as one rhino is standing behind the car with a pelican standing where Alan once stood. Frighten by this they are trap by the brick wall in front of their cars, but then someone leap in with his sharp teeth like grin picking up the game.
"I can assume this is the cause for being here, I will have to tell the Spiral Queen about this find." He then stare at them, "You stay out of my way or else I have my friends eat you up like road kill, names Spikes and I'm a bear Beastmen." Spike then jump on the Rhino telling him to move as Alan tried to get the game. But seeing they walking off he decided to follow while everyone else groaned.
"You got to be kidding me." Peter Shepard muttered to himself, seeing they have nothing else to do they followed Alan in hopes they could catch up.

Barntford - Lake
Once Spike had reach the river with his new friends Rhino and Pelican. Spike place the game near some boulder as he rested up for a moment. They departed separate ways as they tried to catch up with the stampede, Spike used his hands to try and drink the water, but sense something. When he turned he found Van Pelt trying to obtain the game, along with carry his old gun.
"Hand me that game." Van demanded.
"And why should I do that." Spike asked with his smug grin, but that change when something shot past his right arm, marking a small hole on the boulder.
"The next shot will be your head, if you do as I say." Van said to Spike who look between Van Pelt and the shooter from the distance if he can find him. Seeing he has no way out, Spike unexpectedly straighten himself up and his personality had turn 180.
"Apologizes my good man, but I don't think there is a need for brute force." When Van notice this change, he was suspscious of this individual. Deciding to humor him he lowered his gun calling out to his partner. When Snipe showed himself without warning, Spike smiled at the individual.
"You must be the famous Sniper from Mercenary Nation yes?" This surprise Snipe when this Beastmen knew of him.
"If I'm not mistaken, your a Beastmen serving under the Spiral Kings and Queens. What are you doing all the way out here?" Snipe questioned.
"Same as you I suppose, but that makes you somehow summoned from this game correct?" Spike asked Van Pelt.
"Yes... there have been many who have played it's game, and many times I have taken different shape and form. But I still have to play my part, fortunate for me Alan rolled the dice, so now I must kill him as I would in the jungle." Van explained his reasons.
"Then I think a partnership would be necessary. The Heartless and Gem Monsters would no doubt multiple by now and that would leave us only those who have some form of intelligence. But enough of that, I also have a plan that we can all agree if your willing." Spike then handed two dice to each of them. Van Pelt catch on what part of his plan required and smiled, "So you want us to separate the game into three pieces, forcing them to split up is that correct?" Van Pelt asked.
"Indeed, they have no choice. Either they go find the missing pieces or they will never finish the game in time. But I must ask you two take the credit of planning, otherwise they would get suspcsious, it's not within my design to reveal my plans or identity as of yet." The two glance at one another and shook his hand in agreement. Van Pelt then walk off without saying a word with eager grin to hunt once more.
Snipe stayed glaring at Spike, "Who are you, really?" Spike look at Snipe with a simple smile, "You can't be a Beastman, your behavior just now seemed more... gentlemen or more so someone who values intelligence over anything. Yet you play as the Beast... why?" Snipe asked, but is then offered some bags of gold from Spike.
"Survive this day, and I might reveal myself to you." Spike said with devious grin as if he had known about this outcome.

Barntford - Alan and Company
When they reach the lake they kept themselves quiet, unsure what will happen. But they cautiously kept silent until the cost is cleared, Drake and Peter C volunteer to sneak around to find the game while the rest stayed back to keep them safe.
"I don't like this, it's quiet." Alan told himself.
"Isn't that good?" Judy asked.
"No... no it isn't good. It means something bad is about to happen." Droopy said watching everything in case something were to happen. As they waited for Drake and Peter C to return, something snuck up from far off. They appear like animals but are small with odd colors, one of them had yellow like fur with black stripes and two pink circles on it's cheeks and two pointy ears. Another appeared small little blue mouse with some round ball underneath as some tail end resting on it. Then one seemed oddly weird with two pink things on it's head, covered with green like hair and some red piece on it's small chest and almost like some dress, it stood like a small child. The last one appear like Drake but seemed young as the rest.
As they slowly walk towards them they had fearful expressions, yet curious eyes almost wanting to be near people. As they stood inch by inch closer to them, Jerry took notice and alert everyone to their presence, when they turn around this frighten the small animals as they ran off towards the bush, but stayed close showing curious looks.
"Aww, what are those?" Everyone took notice of them, and stared at them unable to take their eyes away.
"I never seemed them before, Alan you seen them in Jumanji?" Sarah asked Alan.
"Actually few every now and then, odd creatures yet friendly if they want too." Alan pulled out what appear like berries, this brought them out to nibble on them. But they did this with caution unsure if these humans are friendly or not. Once they grab the berries everyone petted them on their heads showing they do care.
"Their so cute." Judy pick up the small yellow mouse, scared at first but enjoyed the snuggle. The other three started to enjoy the company as they are getting used to humans that appear friendly.
"HEY!" Hearing someone shout they saw what appear like some blue like dragon ready to attack.

Barntford - Drake and Peter
As the two are venturing towards the lake, they soon saw someone sitting on random boulder staring with his pointy teeth ready to feast on his prey.
"I see you weaklings have arrive." Spike stated, "Judging by this game, I say it has the power to transport me back to my world. But first I would like to test your strength if your worth my time." Just as he said this something stroll itself towards them, soon turning everything around into some ice and snow to their environment, slowly turning their body they saw what appears to be the monster from before when plant life grew.
Princess
"It appears that this fellow has been looking for some princess, I can only assume one of your 3 female is his princess or mate in some case. Which is why I know he would be good test to see if your strong as you make yourselves, eh Gundarion?" This caught Peter off guard, but not enough to move aside as the snow like monster attack them. Drake moved around trying to think how to attack this monster, while Peter decide to take direct approach for the game. Not prepared for Peter's blitz, Spike jump back figuring he would attack him when he raised his arm, but instead grab the game and shouted Drake's name to run. The Snow-Ice monster almost attack Drake if peter hadn't moved him in time, choosing to return back with the others, the monster decided to give chase.
But as they left Spike grinned and narrowing his eyes at them, "Very clever."

Barntford - Alan and Company
Everyone back up unsure what to do with this blue dragon like creature. But he seemed protective of them ready to defend his small friends at any given moment.
"Why can't you humans leave us alone?" He demanded from Alan and everyone.
"Look listen, your friends with them right? We didn't mean any harm, just offered some food and they came to us." Marcy pleaded with the guy.
"SHUT UP, I won't fall for your tricks human" He hissed with venomous hate towards them, "Last time I trusted humans, I hate to watch our kind and theirs get experimented by those... monsters. Some of them had been turned into certain genders, and then they..." Tears started to form in his eyes, unable to bear memories to what happen.
"Listen, we didn't mean any harm. We're kinda in our own troubled situations as it is, so let us go and we won't bother you ever again." When Alan tried to reason with this blue dragon, it look at them in confusion, "Wait... you mean-" He's then interrupted by Peter C and Drake in his arms running towards them. Suddenly the group is surrounded by plant like heartless called Creeper Plant, Shadows and new monsters that appear with shadowy like mist and ice formed in claws, feet and ice helmet with body armor calling them Ice Knights. Everyone including the blue dragon and it's little friends are surrounded by the monsters with the biggest one appearing to them. Unable to fight back and protect everyone they waited for this thing to strike, but instead stared at them. Yet as this thing stared it look at Marcy with desire in his eyes.
Hello... my princess.
Scared for their lives, they were unsure what will happen. But then without any warning the snow, ice and shadowy mist started to disperse into nothing. But what happen surprise both Peter Cree and Marcy as they look in complete utter horror what the monsters true form.
"S-S-Simon!" Both of them spoke in speechless, after many adventures traveling to worlds, Marcy was unsure what to say at this point. Yet the Simon they knew wasn't acting himself. he appeared with icy white skin and some long blue drape with sleeves looking worse then before, the crown place on his head gave off some darken shine as purple mist like darkness oozed out. His eyes are now crystal blue and grown a long white beard, yet appears shiny as he would normally appear.
"It's alright princess, I will slay these awful people and we can live in our ice castle together." Simon assure Marcy who took steps back in fear.
"Simon... w-w-what happen to you?" Stuttering in shock and fear at his friend's condition.
"DON'T TOY WITH ME YOU THEIF!" Simon accused at Peter Cree, who look hurt and scared at Simon, "I and Princess were doing just find with our castle, yes there were few pest that needed to die in cold bloody murder, but then those shadowy like bugs tried to swarm us after trying to kill those slimy monsters. I was lost without my princess with only thos shadows to keep me company." One shadow walk towards Simon and wave its arms in some hand sign, "Hey don't take it personal, but if you had some princess or more female like heartless I would have enjoyed our company." While Simon talk to the Shadow everyone felt creep out by his way of talking and is acting like heartless are people, yet some were once people.
"Anyway, I was lost and lonely for many days without end. I then used the powers of Snow, Ice and Darkness to travel to another world. What I found is a nice Queen who showed me how to control my powers, her and this two swell guys name the professor and some guy with red face. They showed me how to use the darkness properly, and with this powers I search far and wide for you princess. But when I did you somehow escape, but then I realize he was in our way, if I kill him and all your toy friends then you wont' be trick and I CAN HAVE YOU TO MYSELF!" With growing darkness in both hands Simon was about to kill everyone when Marcy shouted, "Wait!"
This stop Simon for a moment and look at Marcy with curious eyes, "I will go with you, if you leave them alone. If you kill them I will hate you for the rest of my life." Marcy warned Simon, when told what she will do he slowly lowered his hands as the heartless stayed put waiting for his command.
"Alright princess, I won't harm them nor my troops. But they might." With one snap both Marcy and Simon are consume by the darkness as everyone watch in horror and shock at this turn of events.
"MARCY!" Reaching in vain, Marcy vanish from his sights along with Simon who no doubt has taken her to another location away from this planet. Without thinking every heartless then converge against them.
Warning!
Warning!
Ambush in process
Begin defense
Heartless count: 7 Creeper plants + 30some shadows
Heartless Type(Emblem): Creeper Plant
Threat Level: Brown - E
Strength: Average
Abilities: Plant like abilities
Offense: Average
Defense: Average
Weakness: rooted in place
Description: Creeper Plants are flower like heartless that are in tune with nature. Their legs are grounded making them stationary monsters without any ability to move. They always shoot out seeds that act like bullets, sometime even use their root like legs to attack from underground. But that also leaves them vulnerable to any attack, but also if pulled out they lose their power.
Get ready!
FIGHT!
Everyone then disperse trying to survive, as the Creeper Plants tried to attack with their seed bullets, everyone that could fight block their attacks. Droopy, Jerry, the blue dragon and four of his friends, Drake and even Peter Cree got to fighting. With only 7 Creeper Plants to attack and more shadow started to add to their group. Now fighting to survive Drake leading with the other four similar to him attack the shadows with their own special attacks. The yellow Mouse used some sort of lightning attack on the heartless while is being help by the blue like mouse shooting water from it's mouth. Three other shadows heartless are then stun by something, almost appearing like they been shock by invisible force. Drake and his other friend are attacking in sync, yet something are on it's mind worried, angry, frustrated and confused for Marcy's safety and how this came to be, for now Drake has to focus on task at hand. Jerry help by being backup to Drake, every now and then he would attack them. While Jerry can take on beings bigger then himself, he has to conserve his energy or else Jerry will be exhausted in some battle later on.
"Everyone get those plants." Alan ordered, as each of them grab on plant and pulled with all their might the heartless out of their rooted ground. In the mist of this confusion Alan, Sarah, Judy, both Peters, and Droopy grab the plants and pulled them out unsure if this would hurt them but didn't want to take any chances. The blue dragon like creature then attack each and every one of them killing them in two strikes.
Suddenly more heartless started to appear in numbers with more Shadows, Powerwild, Bouncywild, Ape Pack, Vipers, Roaring Sun and Hunting pack in about 20 Night Shines. From the increase of Heartless they appear to be in trouble.
"I don't know who you guys are, but if you want to prove your friends, help me beat these monsters." The blue dragon said to them, agreeing everyone had to pull their weight or at least help in some way. As the fight ensured, everyone that couldn't fight left themselves back mostly Alan, Sarah, Judy and Peter S since this was beyond what they could do. Everyone else had to fight all their might. The three small animals took care of the vipers using their special attacks and abilities to take them on, Drake and his look like teamed up with Jerry riding on his back to take out the powerwild and Bouncywild at the same time slashing through with relative ease. The Blue Dragon and Droopy took on the Roaring sun and Hunting pack of Night Shines, while Peter C at to fight solo with Ape Pack who leads the monkey like heartless.
The Blue dragon and Droopy made quick work with the Roaring Sun and it's hunting pack of Night Shines. Droopy had block some of their attacks while the blue dragon help covering his back. Then the two would strike at every chance able to take out some of them, the blue dragon like creature appeared strong enough to take some of them out without effort reducing the number of heartless to only 12 Night Shines and decrease as the fight goes on. But the Roaring sun saw it's opportunity and tried to attack Alan and the others. Seeing this it leap towards their direction, while everyone step back and tried to avoid the fight. Alan grab hold of it's neck and tried to by them some time. The Blue dragon came in and attack the Roaring Sun to save Alan. Droopy also came back helping to attack this threat, hurt and discourage by their efforts the Roaring Sun jump back as the Night Shines once more came attacking.
Drake and his look alike tackled, quick attack and many other moves that came. The two work in great teamwork since their move are similar in some ways, Jerry when sometime jump on Powerwild and started to distract the heartless into attacking each other. With great teamwork, they went to help the others and start taking out the vipers. It taken some effort but eventually they had manage to wipe out most of the heartless. When the shadows tried to attack the others Judy and Peter Shepard had gotten used to these monsters and found them easy enough to beat, Sarah somewhat joined in knowing if she left them wouldn't sleep at night. They would sometimes run or move away to avoid too much fighting knowing they couldn't fight back, but thanks to Drake and others they got their back and protected them. Drake and Jerry went off to attack help Droopy and the blue dragon to defeat the heartless.
Peter Cree however couldn't do much as the heartless in front is too powerful for his current abilities. No matter how much he punch or sometimes kick by jumping up, his attacks did nothing but leave possible scratches on it's body. As the Heartless was about to finish him if he hadn't jump back. In the mist of this fight more heartless started to appear with Creeper plants increasing in numbers.
"There are too many of them, we won't be able to escape." Sarah shouted as everyone huddle back to back, Judy held on the game tightly as they tried to think another way out.
"It must be the game, somehow the heartless are more attracted to it then before." Droopy stated by observation.
"Then what do, if we hand over the game everything will stay the same and we'll be stuck dealing with these guys." Judy shouted in worry.
"We can't escape either, the heartless will just chase us down until we tire ourselves or they find another target." Alan said understanding the situation, but not liking their predicament.
"So this might be our final fight." Peter C said almost raspy voice.
"Not yet, our friends should be here any moment." When the blue dragon said this something happen, in an instant some flame balls blasted the heartless along with more creatures started to appear in groups of at least over hundred. What the group saw next shock them as creatures of at least 10 or more different creatures that came to help. Seeing this the group almost relax if the two heartless didn't try and attack them. Everyone scattered with some wanting to help fight the heartless, others like Alan, Sarah, Judy and Peter S tried to avoid the fight. The rest however joined in to help take care of the heartless, but as they were trying to finish them Peter C ended up fighting the same heartless with additional help from Roaring Sun.
Drake saw this as Peter C is getting hurt or worse, having enough something deep inside wanted to burst out. Suddenly light covered Drake's body and started to change him, some of the heartless flinch or stared at Drake while others took notice but attack the heartless instead. When it was done Drake now had violet like fur with purple eyes and some split end tail with a red jewel on it's forehead. This is considered a pokemon evolution, now called Espeon Drake wasted no time and used Psybeam and blasted the Ape Pack into dust in one shot. Before the Roaring sun could attack more Psybeams struck the heartless ending it.
After taking down some more heartless some of the animals end up attacking the remaining heartless while the rest stayed behind to check on them. One of them had similar design to the smaller creature with white, green and pink like color. Alan, Sarah, Judy, and both Peters look in awe and somewhat terrified unsure what this guys wants from them.
"Do not be alarm, we mean no harm to you or any humans, as long as you don't harm us." He said to them using what appears as psychic abilities.
"Wait, you can speak!" Alan spoke for everyone that is trying to follow along with this revelation.
"Indeed... and I think we need to talk, but first we must make sure these monsters are destroyed." He said as everyone could agree with that.

Banrtford - Town
While they are dealing with heartless on their own, others that are average people are panicking. Chaos has been created as the heartless, gems, and now addition Beastmen have attack some people and each other along with animals added in the mix. The chaos got so bad some outside force had to interfere, the military is now spreading out to handle this threat, but as of now nothing is working. Among the chaos Spike had joined with Van Pelt and Snipe who are both waiting for his arrival.
"I assume plan B is now our standing." He asked Spike.
"They overwhelmed me, I couldn't fight all of them at once. Not to mention that those black creatures and monsters appearing doesn't help either." Spike said dropping his persona.
"Indeed, these monsters seemed more active as of late. I even had some skirmish in Jumanji while hunting Alan, they even prevented me from taking Alan's head one time, since then I blasted any of them who get in my way." Van snarled at the heartless that came by with heated glare.
"How did you survive?" Spike asked knowing how dangerous these monsters are individually let allow groups of them, Snipe look at Van curious at that as well.
"You know that old saying goes." Van suddenly glowed in purple and black mist surrounding his body, he took aim with his empty gun and fired what appeared like dark matter bullet at one heartless. Once it made contact the heartless suddenly shook and spiraled into one compressed ball until nothing was left. Snipe and Spike look at Van with both awe and impressiveness. Van then turn to face them and said, "The hunter becomes the hunted." With an gleeful grin.

Barntford - 10 minutes later
Now that everything had settled with the heartless finally defeated, the group took their time to relax but had many questions. One of the creatures stood in front of them, and without opening his mouth spoke.
"At least the monsters are gone." Peter S said relaxing himself.
"Indeed, now we have taken care of matters allow me to introduce myself, leader of this misfit group consist speices both Pokemon and Digimon. I'm a Gallade named Moon Star." Moon introduce himself to them.
"Well I usually don't thank animals considering they try to eat me, but thank you for saving us." Alan said having small experience with these creatures.
"You seemed familiar with us?" He questioned Alan.
"Don't mind him, he's been in the jungle for sometime. But more importantly what are you exactly?" Sarah asked.
"A Pokemon, but I can guess this world has no such things. As stated before I am called a Gallade, mostly male type while the other are called Gardevoir. We are considered fully evolution types while those underneath are Kirlia and Ralts as first mostly in green and white appearance. Some of them you have met are Pichu to Pikachu and finally Raichu, those are mostly in yellow and brown. The blue ones are Azurill, Marill and finally Azmurill, then you have your Eevees who can sometimes change into 8 different types called Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Umbreaon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Sylveon, and your friend Espeon. Tell me are one of you a pokemon trainer?" Moon asked them, they shook their head saying no.
"I see, and your wondering about the Digimon. Well those in yellow are called Argumon, the blues Veemon, Red ones Gulimon, then those purples are called Dorumons. Their way of evolving is different from us, but are somewhat similar. We came together in hopes of returning home someday. But as you can tell this world has no place for us." Moon explained.
"So your saying all of you are aliens?" Judy asked.
"No, that would be too weird. More so similar to your animal pets called dogs and cats, but sometimes can be considered wild as well. We just happen to appear alien, as for why we're here... that's another story." Moon wonder along with his buddy how this had happen, but would have to save it once he dealt with those Mercs that kidnap them.
"I have met you guys in Jumanji, some of them seemed friendly while others just seemed rude. Though I didn't think you could talk." Alan said.
"Then you must have found more of our kind, scattered in many worlds. I can only imagine that some of you who don't belong here are forced by some powerful entity." Moon said to them.
"Excuse me, but what do you mean by all this, I don't understand how this effects our life." Sarah is then interrupted by Judy who says, "Your probably better off not asking, I don't think he means us but them." She pointed towards Droopy, jerry, Peter C and Drake in his new form.
"Your correct in that, but I also speak of this power that comes from that so called board game." He pointed toward Jumanji, unable to hide it they allowed Gallade a quick look at the board game.
Gallade open the board game like he examine the in and out the board game. When looking at the jewel he knew the power came from that center, "So this is where that power came from... such cursed object, it seems to delight in making others play games for survival. It may have killed people when playing it years back." Moon explained.
"You mean others have played this thing?!" Sarah demanded not realizing she appeared both angry and shock.
"Indeed, most of them appear children. It must have abilities to draw in others that seek unknowing victims who do not realize it's power. How many children have survive or killed by this accursed creation I can only imagine. But maybe with my Psyhic powers I could somehow destroy it." Moon thoeried.
"Well can you destroy it?" Sarah asked making Judy and Peter Shepard look nervous at the idea, but considering what they are up against a small part that began to grow are agreeing with this idea.
"I could attempt it, but I'm not sure if that be wise? not only me but others have sense this abomination presence and can tell this could end badly for us. But I could try and bypass the powers if I could get a hold of that gem." With this in mind, Moon Star closed his eyes as he concentrated on Jumanji board game, however right as his psychic powers made invisible touch, Moon starr eyes open wide dropping the game clutching his head in pain. Then everyone heard what sound like drums, while some close by tried to help their leader, but those with psychic are effected immediately as everyone else tried to help them. Once the drums stop Moon Star is held by a Gardevior who is his mate name Shiro and Alan who is close to him.
"What happen." Alan asked concerning for him, even if they haven't known each other he still cares like everyone else.
"I'm okay..." He slowly stood trying to take in what happen, "The game... something inside it is giving this board game power, something hidden, something that should have been forgotten, I can imagine that's why those black creatures are here along with those monsters. It is giving this abomination power to transport anything to this world." Moon Star explained.
"You mean something is allowing this thing to be powerful?" Is what Judy understood from what he's explaining, Peter took this moment to examine the board game. when he saw words appear he knew something is happening.
When laws are broken,
order is lost.
Belief is strength,
determine with resolved.
"What does that mean?" Moon Star asked.
"Not sure the board game had been showing two messages." Alan explain to him.
A law of Jumanji,
having been broken.
You will slip back,
even more then your token.
"It seems I may have made things worse, I'm sorry." Sarah stop him talking by replying, "It's okay you tried." Inwardly Sarah hope this would have freed them from this game. Judy then gasp at Peter shouting," Peter your hands, look at your hands." She shouted, as everyone look at Peter Shepard hands growing hair almost uncontrollable.
"Excuse me, is it me or are we missing some pieces." Peter Cree asked looking inside the board game that's open and notice the lack of dices. Everyone else also looked and realize what he means.
"Where are the dices?" Alan shouted in anger and frustration.
"Spike... he must have took them. We need to find him now!" Peter almost demanded.
"What about Peter, he's changing because of what happen." Judy grew more concern for her brother as Moon Star started to look guilty.
"What have I done." He whispered in his telepathic voice, feeling ashamed for putting them in harms way. While in his old life he had no trainer, he understood that humans are both good and bad, for him to harm a child is the same as harming your own kid.
"Look you tried, but right now we need to get out of here and continue this game until the end." Alan explained.
"I don't think returning would be wise, your town has been in shambles, if anything hiding would be best advise." Moon star tried to advise them.
"Do you mean something has happen to the town." Droopy asked, while he normally doesn't talk much along with Jerry, the two have to take lead if they are to somehow survive this mess.
"Those monsters are starting to ravage the town and have ventured towards other places. While we are to keep moving me and other Pokemon wouldn't mind your company, but the Digimon are more reserved. Ever since the Mercs came in their world, the humans have been disdain because of their actions. I know some other species or race were involve, most however were humans since the Digimon are more connected to earth. But like I said, you could join us that be up to you. Yet I would advise against going back to town, there be monster all over the place." As he said this Droopy signal everyone to huddle for a private discussion.
"We should go with them." Droopy said to the group.
"Without food or supplies? In case you haven't notice we're not exactly somewhere safe at the moment or any other times. So unless you have assurance we will be protected I'm not putting Judy and Peter in harms way." Among their discussion, Peter Cree remained silent as he thought about Marcy and where Simon had taken her. It seems the more they would get involve the more crazy it appears. It almost appeared like some endless abyss that has no end.
"Not exactly, if we can grab some supplies from town we could spend the night out here and try to finish the game later on." Droopy assured, Between everyone Alan, Judy, and Peter S are willing to take their chances, Droopy along with Jerry and Drake would help protect them along the way. Peter Cree slowly agreed with this idea allowing them to come up with any plans since they are trying to finish the game somehow.
"Alright, but I want these two staying here, otherwise I won't know what to do." Sarah said to Droopy who agreed to her terms.
"I think it's best all four of us stay here, there is no telling what will happen if we separate." Alan express his concern finding all these monsters and animals too much at this moment.
"Then only me, Jerry, and Drake will go. We'll come back once we gathered the supplies." Hearing this Peter Cree added, "I'll join too, I need something to keep myself busy at the moment." While most of them are unsure of his condition, they no doubt are worried for his mental being. Droopy nod his head in acceptance as they are at the moment desperate from their last close encounter. After they left somewhere away from them in the tree is someone watching from a distance.

Police Car/Carl - Middle of the road
As Carl is driving towards another location he was called, he had to take care of something involving those monsters. Many of them are destroying the town without trouble, Carl is called to many places to try and contain this mess.
"Man these monsters are everywhere." He muttered to himself, but as he drove towards another turn someone shouted for help. When he drove closer he spotted what appear some monsters that are chasing someone. Carl stop getting out of the car and started to shoot the monsters in order to slow them down.
"Get in." Carl had made sure the back car is open, allowing her to get in to safety. Once she's inside, Carl step on the peddles and drove off fast as he could before they could catch up. Once he was far off distance away from those monsters he turn back and asked her, "You alright ma'am." She nodded yes.
"Name's Nora, I was driving my way around looking for Judy and Peter, but I couldn't find them. They been gone since yesterday, have you seen them officer?" She asked. Carl took a moment of silence and remembered three children.
"Did one of them happen to have horns on his sides?" Carl asked.
"No... NO! Why would you think that, what kind of parent would I be if some kids had those on their heads." She demanded, then gave him some photos of Judy and Peter, once he look at them he realize what is happening.
"Nora, I think your kids might be in trouble." He informed Nora, then drove off towards wherever they may appear.

Barntford Town - Droopy and company
When they got in town, they saw the day is almost over. While they would have gone in alone, the terrified people and monsters roaming didn't help the situation, plus now there are police everywhere with some soldiers entering the fry. Knowing they could fix this if the game is beaten, they slowly move along while they kept their eyes open.
"This is madness." Peter comment with all this chaos.
"We have to keep moving or we'll be caught by those things again." Following behind Droopy they made their way where some stores are literally open because of the chaos. As the four of them slowly made their way, they had to step aside to avoid getting caught up by this commotion. The four of them would every now and then take down some monkeys, heartless and occasional gem monster that appears. But the further down they go, the more chaotic is seemed to grow.
"Hmm, we may end up splitting up." Droopy said to himself.
Suddenly Droopy block a bullet shot heading towards them with new heartless appearing called prey Prey Snatchers. Droopy used his old cartoon trick and manage to appear next with Snipe who is now attacking Droopy in hopes of subduing his opponents. Their fight takes place somewhere away from the chaos and in empty streets after falling off the roof when Droopy punch him on the chest.
"Everyone move!" Peter lead the group as Prey Snatchers started to surround them with someone leading the party.
"Find them and corner them, they will not escape." Van pelt ordered.
Warning!
Warning!
Heartless on the hunt!
Prepare for battle!
Heartless Type(Emblem Heartless) - Prey Snatcher
Threat Level: Green F
Strength: High
Abilities: Lock-on, shooting
Offense: Great
Defense: Weak
Weakness: Close Combat
Description: The heartless take on the hunter form almost similar to Van Pelt, but has some weird mask with spiraling yellow eyes and open mouth with teeth covered in blue color. The appearance has somewhat a hunting gear like Van Pelt with more cartoonish design. Lock-on is the Prey Snatchers trump card to handle targets that move too fast. It allows them to project their shots towards any opponent without being in sight. In additiion to this their close combat is extremely weak since they can't fight hand to hand without dropping their guns(which they can't).
Start the hunt!
Ready!
FIGHT!
While making through town Peter had to shove others or they ran on their own once the heartless started to appear. The heartless surprisingly had taken more people down as they convert into heartless, their gun like appearance wasn't for show as Peter, Drake and Jerry are forced to use the people for cover. The chase lasted for a while as they had to run through the crowd fasting them or across. The heartless tried to gain on them, but had to shove or shot many of the people around them. Some policemen and soldiers tried to kill the heartless, but like any weapon they are as effective as bug spray on sharks. So the heartless to this offense and attack the soldiers and policemen.
This gave them enough breathing room as they ran towards one store with supplies. The trio sneak in trying to grab as much as they could before the heartless arrived, using a backpack they manage to obtain the necessary items such as tents, food, toilet paper, and other supplies.
"I think that's everything. Now we just have to-" Suddenly Peter is grab by someone and slammed on the ground with a red blade pointing at his face. Before Drake and Jerry could help they are sneak attack from behind as the heartless had finally catch up. Left with no choice the two are forced to run to try and defeat the monsters. For Peter he is confronted by the same kid name Dagger who is willing to kill if he doesn't have the desire.
"Who the heck-" Dagger then stab his shoulder or at least tried, when he hit something Dagger had quickly pulled back shock by what he's looking at Peter's wound. Some mixer of human blood with neon blue blood. It even gave off some smell of what Dagger could describe as oil for some car, or some other chemical. Yet For Peter it's his blood. Focus on task, Dagger continued his interrogation and demand, "Where are those keys?" He said with some hints of growling.
"Is this abo-" Once more even no chance to explain or care, Dagger stab his other shoulder with same results.
"Freakin Ja $ ss." Peter is then silence with Dagger pointing his throat.
"I don't know what a hybrid is doing around human earths, but I will end you once and for all if you don't give me those keys." Dagger once more threaten. Peter's eyes widen at this threat, but shown some mixer of frustration at what is happening.
"Look... if you need those keys, at least wait until I have found Gandalf or someone to meet up. We need them to help our friends, so please be patient and then I'll give them back." Dagger's left eyebrow raised up in questioning this kid. But before they coulod continue Dagger shove Peter on the ground, avoiding a hole like blast. Van saw his shot, at the moment almost taken his prey. Walking forward he plans on using these people with some help to achieve his own goal. What annoys him more is how much Alan had somehow gathered comrades to help, yet as the saying goes you must fight fire with fire.
Dragging Peter along, both of them kept on moving trying to avoid getting shot. As the two are running avoiding more shots their direction, the heartless had regathered to attack. But most of them are currently fighting Drake and Jerry for a moment along with attacking anything on sight. Once Dagger and Peter got themselves a breather, the two took a moment to gauge the situation at hand, more so Dagger who is well prepared and equip for fighting, Peter on the other hand is trying to remain calm as the situation has gotten much.
From what they can see Van Pelt doesn't know where they are, but is looking around other then where they are hiding. One of those places was in some lock door that Dagger manage to unlock using the key of this store he came from. This led to some moment of clarity where the two can calmly take their own situation, problems and solutions. Even if the two are opposing sides, doesn't mean you should go at each other throats. For Peter he still has these thoughts, but with experience has learn to accept his position and learn to move around it. As for Dagger, he's still learning his way around things. If given at least 10 more years, he should be able to handle this stuff better, at the moment he has much strength a any children, but is very good at assassination.
As Dagger took one peak in the store, he didn't see anything nor did Van try to force the door open, "Just great, I have my friends stuck out there, some weird hunter that manage to find us, and now I'm going to be killed. I mean seriously, if you wanted these I can give them to you. Just give me some time and I'll bring them back, but of course your probably going to kill me anyway." Peter rant not caring at this point, if anything he's already filled with worries for Marcy, Bugs, Mickey, some other people and more. It just keeps piling up like there an unending fountain of problems appearing without stop.
Dagger took at look at peter and their situation, realizing he just enter the situation without figuring out what is going on and why this has happen. Already cursing himself under his breath, this kind of rookie mistakes is what gets him killed. Anyone that is from D7 has to have control of their impulses, read the situation, and adapt to unexpected scenarios thrown at you. If he cannot do this, then being part of D7 would be pointless.
With one look at Peter he demand, "What's your name?"
"Why, so you can kill me and gloat." Peter spat already having enough of this mess.
"Because you had convince me to help you." This earn a surprise from Peter then Dagger explained, "You said about helping your friends, and then giving the keys to me. If you swear on your word, I will not only help you escape this fight but also this planet. In exchange when you and I meet once more, you are to give whatever keys you have found except for one. So that you can travel to any world and if possible I will lend you a ship. But know this, if you don't keep your word I will not only hunt you down and kill you, I will personally make sure your killed last after I torture your friends." He warned Peter of any betrayal.
"How can I know you will keep your word... not to say you won't, but I have been encountering people who just act evil for the sake of evil." He's not wrong in this thinking, as many he has encounter over this journey have not been the nicest or most reasonable people on their own worlds. But has he said this, Dagger had used one of his bladed weapons and cut his hand palm as blood spilled over his hand. Then offered a handshake as he says, "Where I come from, if we are to show true honor and trust, our blood must be bonded. For once this accord is made, can we help one another on our contract." Peter felt hesitate, but recognize that he means business. Without worry he offered his hand, as Dagger offered his blade to Peter. Unsure about what he should do Dagger help by small cut to bleed, once done both handshake with their bleeding hands.
"By this agreement, you and I are bond by our blood and through this blood our contract is made. Until this deal is done or broken, we are to follow through until we meet once more, if broken then a price must be fulfilled and our blood will reveal our falsehood and lies." Dagger said what his agreemnet requires, and what will happen if it's broken.
"Then if it's not too much trouble... can I ask you a favor." Dagger raise an eyebrow at Peter's request.
Back with Drake and Jerry the two have to fight some of the heartless and Van Pelt decide tp target them. While Drake is unfamiliar with his new abilities, he still learn some tricks as Eevee, dashing towards his enemies taking them out one by one. However being shot by the side is Van Pelt who nearly blasted Drake's head off, not wanting to be shot at Drake took cover from heartless and Van pelt making everyone scream and run for their lives. Jerry sneak around taking on the heartless closet to his friend, this gave enough distraction for Drake to move as the Heartless keep seeing their comrade killed without their heads.
With only four Prey Snatchers remain, the two hid somewhere until they could strike once more. As Drake ran from behind something shot him at the side, screaming Espeon with extreme pain, Jerry tried to help his friend when another shot nearly blasted him off. Van Pelt march towards them as the two tried to recovered, but Van kick Drake on the side once more with his gun barrel place over his head.
"Stop your squirming, I could have made a fur coat out of you and have that rat for the dogs. But I want to know where your master are located, where... is Alan." Van demanded, Jerry hid himself not wanting to be spotted by him.
"Hold it!" Peter shouted gaining the heartless and Van's attention.
"Let them go!" Peter shouted once more.
"Your in no position for demands boy. Tell me where Alan is and I will spare your life, and your furry beast." Van ordered as he place his gun on at Drake's head.
"How can I trust your word if your willing to kill us at any moment. You seemed to be company with some guys, which is good at chasing people off." Peter pointed out.
"Heh, I think not. Instead of you telling me, I will have you beg for your mercy, and then you can tell me where Alan is hiding." But as he was gloating something unexpected happen as four heartless and Van pelt are flung away and then burned to death except for Van who is protected by his dark powers. When he saw who did it, two strangest creatures he has ever seen, the two are Gallade and Agumon.
"Let's go." The Gallade order Peter who rushed towards Drake with Jerry climbing on to assure Drake's condition. Van had called in more heartless to deal with more pest soon taking their fight outside where there are still people running but can see more monsters are roaming the area with what appear to be Spike's comrades the beastmen taking part in this strongest will survive grudge match.
"Thank you." Peter said to the two.
"Don't thank us yet." The two then faced more heartless appearing.
"Go, we'll cover for you." Agumon said as the two would begin their attack, carrying the backpack with the necessary supplies Peter then ran towards one car to another as Van Pelt gave chase once more, this time ready to handle this personally.

Droopy vs Snipe
When Droopy made the drop on Snipe, the two had taken their battle on the ground. Everyone at that point ignored them, but also avoided getting involve. Having no reason to involved themselves when the world started to end. Droopy had been on the defensive since he wanted to avoid killing or hurting Snipe. But the Merc in question had no desire to be civil with Droopy. In fact it would almost appear Snipe is trying to kill Droopy, unfamiliar with Cartoon characters who can't die, if that were to happen the results would be catastrophic.
For the moment the two have been doing what would be your standard hunter vs prey moment. The fact that Snipe tries to hit Droopy only to somehow miss as Droopy appears behind him while still in front. It's only after Snipe turns to see Droopy behind him is when the droopy in front is gone. Then their fights would have Droopy hitting Snipe with frying pans, baseball bats, slingshots, and other sorts of tricks including the famous it something on their heads with many objects. Droopy for the most part, while holding himself back from actually hurting Snipe, he is still causing damage.
"ENOUGH!" tired of this, Snipe decides to shot the civilian, some hurt to near death forced Droopy to charge at Snipe. This was antiapated as Snipe turn to quickly grab Droopy who then with small fist punch at Snipe's face. As their fight would have continued, they heard rumbling sounds as another stampede is heading their direction. Temporaily truce, the two found cover until this stampede is rolled over, Droopy however ended up the most unfortunate as the stampede ran towards his direction stomping over the car. when the stampede is done Droopy had to place himself inside the break and speed pedal.
As Droopy tried to recover, Snipe had long quickly took the roof as he saw where Droopy is hiding, "Gotcha." But then groan in pain as his back's been stab, then his body turned with someone stabbing his neck, killing Snipe instantly. Droopy is then rescued by two creatures of Guilmon and Pikachu, with this they escape as quick as possible while the one on roof takes care of Snipe. Dagger saw Snipe rushing towards the roof among the fight and quickly rushed in quietly to attack knowing Snipe plans on killing Droopy, while still unsure how this is all connected he did search through Snipe's belongings in every inch he could find. When he took every small items available, he ran off while making sure no one is watching.

Van Pelt vs Peter, Drake, and Jerry - Chase
All Three of them kept on running for their lives, trying to avoid Van Pelt's shot that almost killed them. Van's new power that is filling his gun is able to fire bullets without actual bullets. These shots come in two different forms, the basic allow for accurate shots for small targets or hard to hit places, the other kind allow him to create explosions if necessary. Crowds around them started to decrease as they ran for their lives. Van almost shot them at one point or another, but having some people around by accident is both bad and helpful. Peter then hid along with Drake and Jerry at some motor shop as Drake is still trying to recover from his injuries.
"Don't worry we'll get out of this somehow, we just need a plan." At one glance Jerry took his surrounds and came up with a plan that Peter could follow. Van march towards their direction, knowing they are trying to trick him or run from him. Either way he's not losing them now, suddenly he felt himself almost slipping on some wet floor, then from nowhere he was bashed over by some tire thanks to Peter unusual strength. Then with Jerry jumping on Van chest towards his face, he then used some wrench and bashed his face. This cause extreme pain as Van tried to recover, giving them enough time to escape. But when they reach outside the screamed had come to a halt creating an eerie atmosphere. Without looking heard a click from behind as Van manage to get back up and point his gun at them.
"Your not escaping this time." They slowly turn around, Peter held on to Drake worried for his safety, "Your fortunate enough kid that I wouldn't try to kill you here and now."
"Then why?" Peter asked.
"You didn't roll the dice, Alan did." He bluntly said.
"Wait... you mean to tell me your only hunting us because it just happen to be his turn?!" Of all the wrong reasons to hear, this one so far takes the cake as Van Pelt is someone that only hunts for sport, yet is also after Alan because he rolled the dice.
"If you must know this is more personal... for years while trap inside the game, I have hunted Alan because I got bored with the other animals to hunt. But that slippery coward couldn't man up and face me in battle. I actually found joy in this, the thrill of the hunt. When he finally decides to face me, I will shot him where he stands." In Peter's arms Drake is shaking not by fear, but in anger once more not liking this guy.
"So what... your going to shot my leg or something? Peter rant.
"If I must, but I'm sure he'll be here once Alan realize your late." Before their conversation could continue something began to rumble, turning to face one direction more corrupted gems are stampeding towards them. This gave Peter enough time to move before, but Van Pelt shot in from of him halting their movement. But then he felt something lifting him up and slam him against the wall with flame balls heading straight towards his direction, or more so at the wall as the attack wasn't meant to kill him. Peter saw the Pokemone and Digimon race towards him and together they went off to hide for a moment until the Stampede had pass.
"Are any of you hurt?" Asked the Gallade, since having psychic powers that help communicate with people that don't speak their language. The Digimon have the ability to speak any human language, but due to the incidents that been happing, they can't trust humans no matter where they are located.
"Drake hurts... that hunter shot him with some dark bullet. I'm just glad he didn't try using real bullets otherwise I don't know what to do." Peter explained. When they examine Drake, both Pokemon and Digimon appeared worried for their little friend. Pikachu asked in his language what is happening to Drake, "Where's Droopy?" He asked, then Guilmon showed Droopy is resting on his back with Pikachu watching him.
"I'm not sure, but I fear what that hunter did might have been much worse then using real bullets." The Gallade then look at Peter with determination, "We need to give Drake some medical care, I believe you have at least pack something in your belongings." Peter nod as showed what some things they manage to bring. After the stampede pass them they went off towards where both Pokemon and Digimon are located for rest. While they are returning back Van Pelt body who is still unconscious laid next to the wall away from Agumon's fire blast. Dagger then search through his belongs and took what he could carry along, knowing he's stuck here until figuring what his next goal is, Dagger then went out once the Stampede has past, but found a police car driving his direction and had an idea.

Poke-Digi new home - Alan and Company
While Peter, Droopy, Drake and Jerry are gathering supplies, Alan had some rest with Sarah as the two are making up lost time since their lives have been changes, Judy and Peter are watching the sunset as darkness would soon overtake them. It wasn't long before they had return Droopy and Drake are given some treatment, Jerry stick with Drake as they are resting while Peter gave the supplies to Alan as all five work on setting tents up for the night. For the most part it was very quiet as everything had finally seemed to settle down, or at least should have by now.
"HEY!" Everyone heard someone shouted as Carl and Nora had appeared with someone unexpected, the Pokemone and Digimon had prepared to fight but Judy and both Peter recognize someone in that group and rushed to stop them from attacking.
"Wait, wait, that's our aunt Nora. We know them." She told them.
"What about the other two." Another Gallade demanded.
"They are with their aunt Nora, we don't have to kill anyone, just be calm and we're discuss this as civil people." This lasted for what felt like hours is actually some minutes. Inwardly the Pokemon and Digimon are risking themselves by allowing humans to know their location, but if they are friends they might allow them. Yet at the same time don't want to end up like how they landed on this planet.
"Carl!" Alan shouted notice the commotion, even if it has been many years Alan still remembers all these years about Carl and his shoe making job. When Alan shouted his name Carl look at him confused, "How did you know my name?" Already have lowered his weapon knowing he would stand no chance against them. After many minutes of tension, everyone slowly started to relax as Moon Star came in to cool down the situation.

Woods/Nighttime - Alan and Company
When nighttime came, everyone had been separate from each other. Alan, Sarah and Carl are at the moment talking to each other as Carl demands to know what is happening, Aunt Nora is more concern with the two kids as they talk about what has been happening. Peter took this moment to be with Droopy and Drake who are resting with Jerry sitting next to them, yet is also joined by Dagger who decided to be with him. The one who's most shock and confused by this situation is Carl who is trying to understand what is happening.
"Hold up, do you two expect me to believe that somehow you are Alan Parrish and that somehow you got suck into a board game?" Carl sarcastically said not buying into the mystic mumbo jumbo.
"It does sound like something from the twilight zone, but you have to believe me. Sarah knows this too since we tried playing the game all those years ago." Carl look at Alan for a bit suspicious of this individual, it was already hard to convince him of the whole shoe business. But then trying to convince Carl that he's Alan was another whole can of worms, the idea of someone that was suppose to be missing turn up alive and okay is just creepy in his mind. Yet with some proof couldn't deny of Alan being here and alive even if it sounded weird. The real trick was to somehow tell Carl that the Board game is somehow some magical or something supernatural. Sarah and Alan had tried to tell him the truth, yet that truth appear to be lies in his mind. With too many shows, movies and cartoons about this stuff you can be forgiving for not being convinced some board game somehow had supernatural powers and somehow transported Alan to another world.
"Okay so maybe there is some truth in what your saying, how come it hasn't done anything yet? Is it on some timer or something?" Carl asked trying to understand what it wants, when it comes to supernatural abilities it's the matter of conditions and what you can or shouldn't do with them abilities.
"To be honest we have no idea, but if anything all it wants is for sick reasons to play games on it. Worse is that thing has been dragging children to play while acting like some kids toy." Sarah sneer in disgust, understanding now they have been trick all because they were foolish enough to play some game. Once this was all over they'll find some way to destroy that board game or at least bury it so it wouldn't be found again.
"With what has been happening around town, I wouldn't be surprise. Guess after this is all over I suppose our lives would be semi-normal." Carl solumnly said.
"Wish we could have a fresh restart." Alan admit knowing they had missed some much over the years.
"Carl... this may not sound like much now... but I'm sorry... for having your shoe messed up and have gotten you fired. I should have said something but I didn't, guess I was a coward back then as I am now." Alan said to carl, he then felt Carl place a hand on his shoulder, "I forgive you, if by chance you have a way to fix this, just make sure not let that happen okay." Both Carl and Alan smiled, then gave a small hug as their friendship is rekindled.
As for with Nora, Judy and Peter Shepard the three of them had some family talk as Nora appeared not only frustrated and worried, but is also scolding the two for such reckless behavior.
"I can't believe you two, I asked you both to go school, make new friends or something normal without getting into danger. But what do I hear, that after finding a board game called Jumanji, you would have played it all day and somehow cause all this mess." Nora scolded at the two who look guilty of their actions.
"Oh and let's not forget that somehow a crazy man that is actually Alan Parrish had the same problem 26 years ago and is forced to play this stupid game. And also Peter here is now a full blown monkey, what am I going to tell people about you, that you tried to cheat and turned into this hairy... thing! What were you two thinking?!" Nora demanded of the two, after their parents have died to Nora tried to be there for them. This however made her extremely angry at them, more then she has ever felt before and is worried sick about them. Not only that she is learning a few things that she really didn't want to acknowledge as real monsters she's surrounded.
"We're sorry Aunt Nora." Peter sincerely said to Nora, for her however Nora didn't know how to feel about all this. Right now she wanted to punished them like grounding or something, but to be honest with herself, she couldn't with everything that is happening. With a small sigh and smile she hugged them dearly as some tears ran down her eyes, even Judy and Peter who blame themselves for what is happening. But then again some part of them felt if they didn't play Alan would have been trap forever and Sarah wouldn't have rekindled their friendship. So to small degree both good and bad happen once they played the game.
"So... what happens now?" Judy asked unsure of what Nora is thinking.
"Well... I guess we have to continue the game?" Nora said unsure of herself, "You said that if you finish the game everything will go away?"
"That's what it says, since the game wanted us to play it must have made this rule to ensure no one else knew about it." Judy theories.
"Guess that makes sense, otherwise news reports of wild animals and monsters would have been spread around the world." Nora thought out loud, but Judy then pointed out, "The monster however are not part of the Jumanji's game, if anything they are with Peter and his friends. I mean the other Peter that has those two horns."
"What's there story?" Nora wondered.
"It's... mostly complicated." Is all Judy can say.
While this was happening, Peter Cree is right now resting with Drake and Droopy who is slowly recovering from his injuries. Dagger hadn't said a word since coming here, but wanted information on what is happening and why this happen. Keeping his word to Dagger, he told him everything he wanted to know and explained what was going on such as the board game called Jumanji has powers to bring whatever they land to life. Unfazed by this, Dagger wonder off to keep himself private from everyone else. which was surprisingly not hard, for both Pokemon and Digimon are avoiding this kid knowing something he and others don't know yet.
"Hmm." Droopy groan slowly waking up after some rest.
"You feeling better?" Peter asked.
"A little... I don't know what happen to that guy, but I can only guess someone must have defeated him when Kevin and Chuck saved me after the stampede. If anything that Merc probably ran before more help arrive." Droopy explained.
"Wait.. are those the two Guilmon and Pikachi that saved you?" Peter wanted to confirm.
"Yep." Droopy yawn a bit and then said, "Now if you excuse me, I need to rest some more." Peter smiled and said okay. Now it was just him, deciding to sleep yet before he could someone yawn and realize it was Drake who slowly open his eyes looking Peter.
"Your okay, we just happen to get out that mess thanks to our friends, so everything is okay." Judging from Drake's expression he seemed worried about something as he thought of something he couldn't say.
"Thinking of Marcy?" Drake gave a slow nod since he's tired, "If I'm being frank with you, I'm also worried for Marcy. But I know that if we keep worrying about people we can't help, then I can't help anyone that's here and now. This is probably something you wouldn't want to hear. Yet maybe that's something we need to remind ourselves when bad things happen." Drake look at Peter with sadness, but lifted his paw toward Peter who gentle grab his in return.
"We'll make it out of this

Next day - Morning
Once Alan and Sarah had awaken, they look through what supplies were brought. Some of it can be used for breakfast and some for personal snacking, When Alan and Sarah were walking around they spotted Peter with surprising sleepover of some Pokemon and Digimon around him.
"Oh my gosh, that's honestly the cutiest thing I have seen." Sarah admits.
"Normally I would be concern with this, but I guess this is the new norm. They do look cute when they aren't fighting." Alan agrees, the two decide to let him sleep some more as they went towards other tents to get everyone awake. At that time Droopy had woken up with Jerry feeling energize as well, the two went off to find themselves breakfast along with everyone that has waken up early in the morning. As Peter is slowly starting to open his eyes, he tried to sit up only to feel something is weighing him down. Look down he saw amazingly some pokemon and Digimon laying around him. Oddly enough only the pokemon such as Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are laying on top or side him, but only one Eevee laid on his chest near his neck.
"Um... hello? I don't mean to be a bother, but could you get off me please." Some of the Pokemon and Digimon started to wake up, when seeing Peter covered with some pokemon they help them up as they too awake. Peter grab Eevee, gently holding this one in his arms and laying the Eevee down. While he was waking up Droopy had came over to Drake and Peter.
"Had a pleasant sleep?" Droopy asked.
"Average." Peter used his hand showing 50/50 to Droopy.
"Everyone is right now eating some Breakfast, there about to start to game soon." Droopy said to Peter.
"Then what about the Digimon and Pokemon?" Peter asked.
"They wanted to help, since they can't explore the woods without defending themselves, they want to help us finish what we started so that things got back to normal." Droopy explained.
"Makes sense, I'll be over in a moment." Just as Peter said this the same Pokemon that were on top were starting to snuggle their bodies on Peter.
"They'll probably start once their finish eating, I'll tell them you'll be there in a moment." Droopy went off leaving them alone for a moment.

Alan and Company - near the lake
At every morning the Digimon and pokemon would use this lake or any source of water to have their morning drink and food when they could find them. Since they wouldn't want to eat grass they would every now and then go towards human towns and steal some fruits. Today happen to have all their supplies for at least couple more days.
"Every time we do this, I feel like we were kids." Alan muttered to himself.
"Relax, you and Sarah are not alone, this time you have all of us to back you up. I may not be the best cop, but I'm sure to help my friend in need." Carl said, Dagger had just joined them as he still kept quiet about what he's planning. Now understanding the situation, he determine the best way is to help everyone beat the game and get past some challenges along the way.
After getting themselves ready for the day, they decided it was best to get started as soon as they could. Not wanting to delay this any longer, everyone started to set up as Sarah rolled the dice and waited for something to happen. Carl and Nora who are watching, but are making sure everyone stays out of trouble waited for what is to happen or what they been told to happen.
When waters are blue,
so are skies.
If turned red,
beware of lurking depths.
"Of all the riddles, this one had to turn out creepy." Carl comment on the riddle, then it showed a second riddle.
Every month,
at the quarter moon.
There'll be a monsoon,
in your lagoon.
"Maybe we should have pack some swim suits or something?" Nora comment, but Alan already has his shirt covering his head as Peter and Drake joined them. Thunder storm covered the sky as everyone look up to see above them. Slowly rain drops started to pour down on top of them, Moon Star ordered everyone to take shelter as the rain started to come down hard.
"Head for high ground!" Carl shouted, now starting to believe this board game is cursed. Everyone rushed up towards any high ground as best they could but with little to no cover and most of these parts are covered. With no place to take cover Moon Star ordered everyone towards the tree that happen to be on some hill. Just as they are rushing towards that hill some sounds of rushing water came towards their direction. As they climbed up towards the tree some pyschic Pokemon help the others including the humans. The slowly starts to rise filling the woods with many galloons of rain water that kept on pouring without end.
"Everyone stay close, there's no telling what will happen next." The water had started to rise up, but then some of the tree held with Pokemon and Digimon along with Alan, Peter Cree, and Dagger started to fall down, everyone is forced to let go as the tree couldn't hold the weight of everyone on it. When this happen, everyone made a swim for the trees they could climb up.
"Hey Alan, what's that." Peter took one glance behind them, this made Alan shouted in fear as they swim as more crocodiles swam for their lives. But much worse things started to happen as something big chop down on one Crocodile making some of them pause at that moment. But then continued to swim for safety realizing they could be in trouble.
"Is that a great white shark!" Judy shouted in shock, terrified by what was thrown at them.
"Oh Great, just what we need." Carl sarcastically comment.
What made the situation worse was how the amount of water is rising up, forcing everyone to go higher ground. This was repeated more times then they could have imagine, what didn't help the situation was how the crocodile tried to eat them as they climb, but even worse the Great White Shark almost tried to grab them by jumping towards the nearest tree.
"This ends now." Moon Star used his abilities along with other Pokemon and Digimon, defending themselves from these attack. Fortunate enough the water started to decrease and even the Crocodile and Shark swam away as the rain died out. Once the threat, everyone slowly climb down as they made sure nothing else would pop up out of nowhere. When it was finally over this challenge compared to the rest seemed more tamed then normal. Once it was done everyone made sure nobody was hurt from this experience.
"Everyone okay?" Alan asked, everyone who are right now making sure everyone is accounted.
"I think we're okay." Nora said including Judy and Peter Shepard.
"So are we." Moon star said for his friends.
"Was that suppose to be a challenge." Carl asked finding this pretty easy from what it was described.
"Actually, that one was easy." Alan admits.
"Well that means we're getting good at this, we should be done with this game by today if this was all it can throw at us." Peter excitedly said.
"Your right... we might win this." Alan smiled at the idea this nightmare maybe over soon.
"We should get moving, we might have to experience something much worse then this." Moon Star suggest, knowing floods like this will wash everything you had, he was forced to move everyone away from here.
"Could I suggest something." Nora said wanting to suggest where to go next.

Van Pelt and Spike - Empty grocery store
"Seem pretty empty without many people shopping around." Spike said, as he and Van Pelt are recovering for a moment. Van Pelt manage to survive by chance, if it was anybody else his injuries would have been worst.
"It's better this way... makes for less distraction and more for the hunt." Van said with conviction.
"You must really want him dead, either that must be personal grudge or because he rolled the dice." Spike tried to figure out Van's motive.
"To be blunt, it's both. But with all these friends and animals helping him, I can't get close enough without them interfering." Van admits.
"Then it's a good thing you have a Beastman for a friend." Spike the used his fingers to whistle and some animals from the stampede arrive, this surprise Van as he look at Spike.
"As a Beastman, I can talk to animals." Spike walk towards his animal buddies and face Van with an sinister grin, "So Van, ready for round 3?"

Parrish mansion - Alan and Company
While many Pokemon and Digimon didn't want to go towards any human settlements, they had no choice as it seems the woods were then filled with monsters and animals alike that started to cover Barntford to even outside of their little town. If they have been watching the news they would have reported more and more monsters are showing up as Heartless, Gem Monsters and other threats are starting to gather and attack the whole USA. As they walk one Veemon who was protecting his pokemon friend went up to Alan and company to say something.
"Something up?" Sarah notice.
"Yeah listen... about what happen when I met you guys. I wanted to say I'm sorry for acussing you for soemthing that wasn't happening." Vemon is then pick up by Sarah who gave him a hug like a little kid.
"It's okay, you were just protecting your family. I think we would have done the same as well, just next time try to talk about it okay." Sarah then place him down, a warm feeling is place in his chest smiling, knowing there was no harm no foul when it happen. As they made their way towards Parrish Mansion, some points of Alan was unsure about this idea, but Nora wanted to check the place since it's their new home. The feeling of returning home seemed to brought different feelings for some, for Alan it was like returning to normal if things would go back to the way things were before now.
But as they approach the mansion, everyone had mix feelings of shock, grief and other sorts they couldn't describe at the moment. To say the mansion has seen better days is an understatement. Whatever has been here had not only manage to destroy any memory Alan had of this house left them in shambles.
"Woah, talk about home maker over." Peter C said with Nora most effected brought to tears at their new home they had for sometime.
"Don't worry Aunt Nora, once we beat the game then all of this will go away." Judy assured, but at this point is lying to herself as she could only assume how bad this had gotten. But they can't turn back now with everything that has happen. As soon as the group manage to get inside through the open hole on the side, they notice many green vines all over the walls, ceiling and floors too. When the group made their way towards the middle of the room many of the Pokemon and Digimon, but as they walk in Moon Star look out along with other psychic pokemon are sensing something.
"Finish the game, and stay inside the house." Moon Star ordered Alan and his friends.
"What's wrong?" Carl asked, who has gotten used to these abilities.
"We may have company." He replied as out in the distance are not only heartless, but even more monsters and animals alike are appearing. Doing as he says, Alan and everyone else got inside comfortably to play the game once more, now determine to finish this game. Now Alan's turn he rolled the dice and waited for what is to happen.
Deep in lands,
there lays deep within.
A creature covered,
in darkness and bone.
"I really don't like the sound of that one." Sarah comment, then Alan continued.
Beware the ground,
on which you stand.
The floor is quicker,
than the sand.
Suddenly without warning the ground underneath Alan quickly drag him down like quicksand. Carl quickly grab hold of Alan while also using an vine to hold them in place, now only they had to somehow get him out.
"Hang on." Carl almost slip when Droopy grab hold of Carl with even Jerry trying to help but not succeeding.
"Just stay calm and don't move, we'll get you out of there." Just as Nora said this something then tried to attack them. It only manage to get inches from them thank to one of the Gardevoir's used her psychic abilities to lift the monster out and in front of them.
"What is that thing?" Carl asked trying to hold on Alan. The newest monster in question is known as Beowulf called Grimm. Somehow the Jumanji with enhance powers had summoned a new monster to the playing field. Even worse more and more monsters are starting to arrive to attack them at once.
"Everyone finish the game, we'll handle these monsters." Moon Star ordered, as the monsters and animals converge on this location, two people at the back riding the elephant are Spike and Van Pelt who appear to be leading this charge.
"We should be there soon, once you have an clear shot you and I will part ways." Spike said to Van.
"And what happens to you?" Van asked.
"I'll figure something out, but I would say once I'm gone, we will never met again." The two then watch silently as more animals and monsters charge at the mansion, trying to prevent the players from finishing the game.
Warning!
Warning!
New threat has arrived!
Prepare for combat!
Grimm/Beowulf:
Threat Level: Green - F
Stregnth: Above Average
Abilities: None
Offense: Great
Defense: Average
Weakness: Everything
Description: This particular monster almost looks like an werewolf with black fur and white skull mask. Unlike the other monsters so far, this one appear similar to heartless, while this one is weak by itself, combine with the same type are very strong. But unlike the heartless, this creature is capable of thoughts and intelligence, but is attracted to negative emotions.
This and many more to come!
Ready!
FIGHT!
At once the Pokemon and Digimon threw their attacks at the animals and monster from far distance, taking out some of the monsters that tried to attack. Carl and Droopy are holding on to Alan while the rest are trying to figure out what to use to free Alan. Judy however chose to take her turn hoping whatever may happen will benefit them. As she rolled the dice her token piece moved as the others are still trying to get Alan out of the quicksand. Some of which didn't work since they came apart too easily, Judy then saw the riddle and read outloud.
Lost by time,
buried underneath.
They roam these lands,
without fear.
"Don't worry I got you." Sarah assured as she focus on Alan, both she and Peter grab him by the other arm with Carl and Droopy slowly losing their grip.
There is a lesson,
you will learn.
Sometimes you must,
go back a turn.
Thanks to Judy's quick thinking she manage to save Alan in time before the quicksand had taken his entire body. But his lower half is now stuck in the quicksand, groaning in pain from the quick soild ground he's stuck under.
"Thank you Judy, that was quick thinking. I would like to get out of here so it's your turn Peter." Alan told Peter S, but then everyone heard the ground shake like it was rumbling.
"Oh no." Nora said to herself, everyone turn to her with Judy asking, "What is it?"
Nora look at Judy and said, "Remember about that one movie I said your not allow to watch." she asked Judy, Then everyone look at the giant hole on the side where some stampede most likely had run through, something that terrified everyone except Alan, Peter C, Sarah, Droopy, Jerry, Drake, and Carl who weren't looking. From outside is a T-Rex who appeared out of nowhere as it look towards what could be the next meal. Judy and Nora scream seeing this thing, and quickly ran towards the others.
"What's that?" Alan asked scared of what is approaching them.
"It's a T-Rex!" Nora shouted in fear.
"What!?" Everyone couldn't believe there ears, Droopy and Jerry had to double check and sure enough when the T-Rex heard their screams it was approaching them.
"Oh dear, we maybe in trouble." Droopy said.
"WHAT IS WITH THIS GAME!" Carl shouted unnevrsed by this recent event.
"Moon Star we have a problem!" Peter Cree shouted. While he and his Pokemon and Digimon are trying to defend the mansion, some of them came over and spotted the Dinosaur approaching. But with very few in hand everyone agreed what they need to do next.
"Peter it's your turn." Nora said to her nephew who grab the game and rolled the dice.
"Come on, we're almost there." Judy whipsered to herself, soon the riddle appear.
What was lost,
through time.
Is now found,
by expedition.
"Please tell me this won't be another hard challenge." Sarah beg to herself, then another riddle appear.
Need a Hand?
Why you just wait.
We'll help you out,
we each have eight.
Just as Peter Shepard had said this he look up to find an large spider crawling down towards them. Everyone look up and saw spiders big as their pet dogs crawling towards them, hungry for an fresh meal. But outside is even worse as giant insect from underground started to appear. Locust to worms from mud and other sorts are crawling their way up. This forced the Pokemon and Digimon to change tactics as even the animals with monsters are starting to fight one another.
Peter Cree look around and gave a command while also kicking a spider away, "Everyone listen we have to give Sarah and Alan space, fight off the spiders as best you could." Peter Cree then approach two spiders, grabbing one and tossing it towards another, Judy and Peter Shepard went and started to back each other with what appears as wooden stick everyone brought along since they couldn't find proper weapons. Nora chose to be close to Carl who used his revolver and shot them dead, "Eat this" while firing at one spider. As Carl shot some more, backing them up is Droopy who stayed with Carl and Nora while Drake who is trying to used his remaining strength to help Judy and Peter with Jerry providing support, Dagger who remain quiet for most of the time is now showing his skill despite being a 10 year old, killing one spider with his dagger and getting up and personal with two small blades.
From afar Spike and Van Pelt are watching these events play out as they are seeing the chaos unfolding.
"This looks like a fine opportunity, you won't get another shot like this one." Spike inform Van who check his gun and replied, "I only need one." He march forth, ready to finally settle the score or see Alan once more run like the coward he is shown.
Back at the mansion, Peter and Dagger work back to back as they either punch, kick or stab the spiders that came close. Dagger would sometimes throw his dagger at one spider and another but would have them close to his arms reach. Peter would sometimes grab one spider and toss that towards another one, knowing the basics on punching, Peter would try and kick since he has the super strength, but not the practice to use them. Droopy would protect Carl and Nora from most dangers as they had to defend themselves. Carl would shot one spider while Nora would sometimes kick one away as Droopy would punch some of them. Judy and Peter Shepard have been doing well with Drake sometimes helping them, Drake giving more support in this fight despite his handicap, with Jerry jumping around confusing the spiders as they bite into each other.
"Sarah, it's your turn. If you roll a 7 you win the game." Alan said still stuck.
"But I can't leave you." Sarah argued.
"Yes you can, if we beat the game everything will go away, you can do this." With some convincing, Sarah went and grab the game to take her turn.
While everyone inside the mansion has their troubles, the Digimon and Pokemon had much worse then them. When the herd of monsters and animals from Jumanji arrive, they manage to fight off against some heartless with their special moves. But only to delay them, some even used their ultimate attacks. Gem Monsters were then next taken down thanks to the Pokemon and Digimpon combine efforts. The Herd eventually got close, but not before more chaos is brewed as some of them had to fight now a T-Rex which is attacking them on different side from the herd, from the T-Rex cam black creatures with bone mask appeared multiplying in numbers. Yet with this it became more harder as the herd was already here and attacking them at once. Yet more is added to the fray as both spiders and insects from underground are not only attacking them, the Digimon had at least one trick that can save them. This however is a also a last resort, thanks to the mercenaries they have corrupted their bodies to the point their digi-evolution is now premanent as they return back to normal. Forced into this situation some agumon digi-evolve into Greymon, the Guilmon digi-evolve to Growlmon, Veemon's digi-evolve into Exveemon, then finally the Dorumon digi-evolve into Dorugamon. With this their combine might despite their fewer numbers had manage to hold them back. But try as they might, they are still too many of them, eventually leading to some if not all of their deaths.
Back inside the mansion, Sarah had to get the game back by kicking some of the spiders away. But as she was about to grab the game, a purple flower appeared. What happen next was by chance as Sarah through luck fell back in fear as the flower shot it's poisonous darts past her and at Nora's arm. Carl heard her grunt and tried to help, but a spider used this distraction and bit his arm making him scream in pain. Everyone saw this, Droopy immidately reacted and attack the spiders while Peter and Judy stomp on the Flower, killing it.
"NORA!"
"CARL!"
Shouting for their names in fear Sarah had to priorities and tried to help them up with Judy and Peter Shepard worried for their aunt.
"Are you already aunt Nora?" Peter S asked concerned for her wellbeing.
"I'm okay, just got prick is all." She replied.
"It's alright Carl, the bite wound isn't too deep." Sarah tried to assure, Peter Cree and Dagger help surround the group along with Drake with his partner Jerry.
"She's right, you'll be able to pull through. Just hang on for few moments and we'll be out of this mess." Alan reassures Carl who look at him and Sarah for a moment, the said, "Sarah... you need to take your turn." Carl tried to say, but the pain in his arm kept him from saying anything to much, "If you roll a 7, we can be rid of that stupid game." With his encouragement, Sarah then rolled the dice as her piece is moving towards the next spot.
Screams from air,
shouting in rage.
Whirls of chaos,
begin to form.
"Come on, get to the next riddle." Alan said in annoyance, the spiders started to surround them as more and more would have tackle them.
Your almost there,
with much at stake.
Now the Floor,
begins to Quake.
When Sarah finished the last riddle, the spider appear behind her as she was forced to grab it's head up preventing it from biting her face, alan had to do the same as the spider is reaching him. Peter, Dagger, Drake and Jerry with Droopy now joining are trying their best, but are slowlying being overrun.
"Nora your going to be okay you hear." Judy tried to give comfort to her aunt, but it's useless as the poison is slowly killing her.
"Judy... Peter... I'm sorry that... I wasn't a good aunt... if I was then... you wouldn't be in... this... mess."With her last breath Nora fell asleep dying by poison flower. Judy and Peter started to cry, unable to bare what has happen to their aunt. Just as the chaos would have gotten worse, the entire ground started to rumble. This cause many animals including the monsters to look around in fear as something was about to happen. This gave the remaining pokemon and Digimon some rest as some of them have been killed in this battle, but that rest wouldn't arrive sooner as what came next was mother nature at her worse.
"Our only chance is to finish the game." Alan shouted as the ground beneath him split allowing him to be free, but also almost taken down if he didn't held on to Sarah. From this everyone quickly stayed on one side where Alan and company are trying to stay alive. Outside was even worse as some of the animals, monsters and insects alike are drag in by tornados that suddenly appear behind the house forcing anyone who wasn't prepared taken by the strong winds. Yet despite this from outer space the entire country of America is shown to be consumed by the largest earthquakes and tornados alike, with more and more disaster starting to consume the planet.
Peter had grab the game with Dagger helping along. Droopy, Drake and Jerry gathered Carl, Judy and Peter towards to safety as Nora's body began to fall towards the open ground. This left Dagger, Peter, Sarah and Alan to escape a different direction as they had to move away from the edge. Just as they made their way to safety, the storm outside and earthquake kept on going without stopping as if the planet is groaning from this amount of pain. When the storm and shaking started to slow down, everyone started to relax as Droopy, Drake and Jerry are running towards them.
"It's your turn Alan." Peter C said as Alan was about to start his turn Spike came in, But Droopy and Drake step in to protect Sarah and Alan from this Beastman. Dagger then suddenly got in front of Peter C, blocking a dark bullet shot towards him. The two are force back against the wall, yet Dagger almost fell unconscious but manage to block the bullet with his Dagger.
"Don't move!" Van ordered as he threat to shoot Alan, "Stand up." Alan did as he said.
"What's in your hand?" Alan didn't respond, "Drop it." With a smile drop the dice only for one to fell down the split earth making Alan sigh in anguish.
"End of the line sonny Jim, games up. Start running." Van ordered, the fight between Droopy, Drake and Jerry vs Spike had turn into a game of cat and mouse. Jerry manage to slip away while Sarah watch on, Peter slowly moved Dagger aside yet glad he's still alive.
"No." Alan said standing his ground. Jerry had slowly moved in, Peter slowly moved himself up as Sarah watch on but is slowly approaching Alan as the dice kept on rolling.
"Aren't you afriad?" Van asked.
"I'm terrified, but if there was anything I have learned in this game. Is even if your afraid, you should face them when afraid. But I also learned that sometimes if you can't do them yourself, that there will always be others to help. I know that this was something I wanted to avoid, but if I keep on running... then everything I did to this point would have been for nothing." Alan said with some muster of courage, Droopy and Drake manage to beat Spike to unconscious. Then turn to see Van and Alan face off against each other. Drake heard what Alan had said and everyone did as well. Giving a small smile for him to finally stand up for himself, but that felt ruin as Drake's attention went back to Van who simply laugh at him.
"Good lad, you finally acted like a man." This made Drake growl some more, tried of this guy acting high and mighty. But didn't rush it, twice this guy had taken him off guard and beaten without effort, it's time that he gets his own dessert. Jerry had crawl up behind Van Pelt waiting for a moment to strike, Dagger slowly regain his consciousness as he tried to stand up. But what set some motions into action is the dice landing on the number Alan needed to win, when he look down and saw where his piece landed he quietly and smiled looking at Van saying in a whisper...
Jumanji
"Huh?" Confused by his word, Alan said it again loud enough to be heard.
Jumanji!
Riled up, Van loaded his gun in anger. But didn't get the chance as Jerry bite behind his neck with Drake charging in to knock the gun out of his hand, and Sarah rushing in towards Alan.
"Look!" Droopy pointed towards the game, something began to float out of the game. Two similar keys appeared, Peter slowly approach the game knowing something was about to happen. Yet from nowhere came Dagger who rushed behind and grab the one key without warning or concern, "NO!" Peter shouted in vain. Suddenly something started to happen as Van Pelt's gun started to vanish and the people like Peter, Droopy, Drake, Jerry, Dagger and Spike started to float, suddenly many more things are happening as some of the challenges from Jumanji are being absorbed, while the people from other worlds are blasted up towards the sky where a green beam shot up. Those near the game are first to launch up, unable to stop themselves Peter, Droopy, Drake, and Jerry tried to hold themselves together in one big hug. Dagger however chose to leave on his own terms as the key reacted to him taking him to another world away from them. Spike spotted them and made effort to follow as one by one many challenges from other worlds and Jumanji are returning back to their place. As they soon vanish into the dark sky everything went silent, the only sound that can be heard are either whirling winds on the planet or the empty space without sound.

Rockwell - Mario, Pac-man and Mew
With the days rest Mario, Pac-man, and Mew had rested well for the day. Hogarth is living back to normal life, but in honor of the giant they built a statue in his name along with Hogarth on his hand. The Military had given what they found is one giant screw to Hogarth as reminder and apology for what happen. As for the trio, they said their goodbyes and went off on their own until they can find their way back. Right now they are resting in the junkyard deciding what to do next or where they should go next.
"Mama Mia, this has been one crazy disaster to the next. I wonder what the others are doing at the moment?" Mario thought out loud, Pac-man patted his back for comfort as Mew flew around to hang out or have fun. Hogarth and some friends came around to meet Mario and his friends. Some had taking to liking for Mew, trying to pet it or have fun. Hogarth walk up to Mario with a soft smile.
"How are you guys doing?" Hogarth asked somewhat knowing the answer.
"Hmm okay, but I just don't know what to do. We could be stuck here for all I know, but could have no way back. All we can do is hope the others may reach us somehow." Luck would have it as something started to fly down towards them. It was some bright object that flew like a star, then it landed in front of Mario and Hogarth, this made Dean run out wondering what is happening, but his and Hogarth's eyes widen as three individuals stood in place, Mickey in black and red clothes(KH 2) with Bugs and their newest friend who goes by the name Game and Watch. An old video game character that Mario knows from his classic times, one of the few that don't follow the rules of reality knowing they exist as fictional characters.
"Bugs, Mickey!" Mario shouted along with Pac-man who went up and hug the two.
"Eh, what's up doc's." Bugs asked Hogarth and Dean then rushed in poking at the two.
"Hey cut it out." Mickey giggled at his ticklish spots.
"Your real... your both real!" Hogarth and Dean shouted in surprise along with Hogarth friends who asked for an autograph. They even tried to take some picture which Bugs and Mickey didn't mind.
"What's with the clothes?" Dean asked seeing Mickey in some clothes different from usual.
"That's his magical clothes, see in the later times Mickey will have some magical abilities along with his weapon called a keyblade." Bugs explained, Mickey didn't want him to spill the beans, but it looks like he has no choice.
Mickey then revealed his keyblade in hand, "That's right, sometime later I will have this keyblade that fights evil monsters." The kids look in awe and excited for when that would happen. But of course that would sometime much later, Mickey didn't want to say when because it might change some things considering this isn't the 21th century. After sometime Hogarth Friends went off having something they needed to do leaving only Hogarth, Dean, Mickey, bugs, Game and Watch, Mario, Pac-man, and Mew to themselves.
"Well that was interesting, it's actually nice to meet some fans every now and then." Bugs admits.
"I feel the same way, after what we're experiencing I feel worlds like this are needed every now and then." Mickey said.
"You guys must been through many worlds together." Hogarth said to them.
"Yeah we have, thanks to Game and Watch we were about to find Mario using the Star Shard." Game and Watch pulled out what appear to be some star shape fragment that is rare even for them.
"So what brings you guys here?" Dean asked, while it was a simple question the looks on Bugs and Mickey's face says it's not but explained since the two know about the worlds.
"Listen, there are something in other worlds that shouldn't be told about. But what we can tell is that our other friend name Gandalf had contact us about something. If was with his help we manage to find Mario and Pac-man on this world, we're going to Traverse Town to get ourselves pack for what maybe another trip towards world we have no understanding. But at the moment we need to find our friends Peter and Marcy, we been told they are somehow separate from this world. But what's important that we need to find Peter and Marcy along with Drake, Jerry and Droopy if we are to meet with Gandalf. Something bad is happening, we need all hands on deck." When Mickey gave his short explanation Mario and Pac-man understand what this means, while Mew didn't know what is going on it understood they needed help and is willing to join their party.
"Sounds like you have some worlds to save, you guys should go help your friends Hogarth and I can take care of things along with everyone else." Hogarth assured them.
"Yeah, from what we hear they plan on making some small division called UNIT. Not sure what it will be, but I can tell they taken interest in other planets now. Take care and tell them we said thanks." Dean said to them.
"We will." Mario gave the okay as the 6 waited for Game and Watch to use the Star Shard along with Mickey pointing his keyblade towards the stars, then the group launch themselves as they blasted off towards Traverse Town, where they are somehow to met Gandalf.

Cole and Grimhilda - Beginning of the ritual
After sometime gathering the supplies needed, Cole wanted to start the ritual as soon as possible. Saying they are short on time, particular he has sense the changes that are happening and if they aren't fast enough will miss their opportunity. Once everything is gathered Cole would enact his ritual he prepared as Grimhilda would observe and watch as Cole work. For sometime now, Cole has said some words in some language that isn't familiar yet almost sounded like mixer of all languages. After his ritual is complete, the building started to shake and crumble as many parts of this building began to glow.
"At last, the second to final conflict will begin. With this all the fallen keys will be scattered and the Multiverse War will begin." Cole said to himself as grayish blue lights began to fly off into the sky. From outside the building they appear like shooting stars blasting from the building towards other worlds.
"What are you planning exactly? From what I have seen all you have done is start something, but never finish it." Grimhilda pointed out, unaffected by this Cole turn to her and smiled.
"That's exactly what is happening." He answered that brought confusion to Grimhilda, "To clarify, these keys are what will set the stage. Through all time and space, through realms of supernatural and ghostly realm, to far reaches of space and dimensions, then to all universes, multiverse and further on to existences. These keys will set the beginning stage of the greater plan in mind. While you had once claimed a kingdom as great as human standards, if you stick around you will have kingdoms of all nations under your heel. But in order to achieve this, we will have to wait for the gathering keys now possessed by that boy." Cole explained giving more questions then answers to Grimhilda's mind.
"For now we'll wait. First I must visit a certain worlds and gather 7 more people to join us, then the real plan will begin over some cup. Although that's too soon, might as well make plans anyway. Although the question remains if I should have at least 100 wars or 10 wars? Not sure what it will entail, but we'll figure out. Unless you want to go separate ways that is?" Cole turn to asked Grimhilda. Through this trip Cole has been someone of mystery or insane, yet is somehow normal as any other human she has met. Seeing no point of arguing with him, she figure this would be her only chance to gain more power then she ever imagine.
Bible Topic:
Subject: Willful Sin
This one is honestly the most hard to look at yourself and say 'you enjoy that didn't you?'. What I mean is Willful Sin, is the ability to understand that what you have done in the Lord's sight is wrong, but in that understanding you still done it. Everyone that has done this is guilty and to be honest with everyone, there are times I have been guilty of this sin. Because it sometimes goes back to repetitive sin as the two are practically related when this is done. Repetitive Sin is the habit of something that is wrong in the lord's eye and yet still does this regardless of this sin. Willful Sin is as bad, regardless if it is worse or less. It implies you understand what your doing and still do this in hopes of enjoying yourself.
In my own personal life I have one sin that sometimes just doesn't won't to go away, but it's always just one on everyday life. But every sin is like this because it wants us to be damned and sent to hell as our final days arrive. To you I give a heated warning of this sin, because if you become a Christian know this sin will do whatever form it takes to consume you and make what some would call exceptionalism. God will not approve of this and will not tolerate sin, if we cannot acknowledge this on everyday life we are to fall for this trap as easily as herds of pig would sink in sand for fun.
There will be times these sinful actions are fun and sometimes we have more then one, but even then we shouldn't entertain them. All of us are guilty of this, I tell this for your sake and that you can stop yourself for what you might do next time your tempted by this sin. Everyone has their race, their battles and a goal that must be finished, for god made us for these purpose in mind. But we must be willing to submit to his will and learn to resist these temptations. In these recent days I have been lacking in spirit because of things in my life that has drag me down. But one thing I have learn this year is regardless of that sin, you can go to god and keep seeking him no matter your situation, circumstance and failures. For the devil wants us to feel like failures for not being prefect, but that just means you work through these moments of failures and keep on looking for him. Only when your willing to submit the lord will appear, for even God will resist the proud and stubborn. For the devil represent the proud who never admits his wrongs and willfully enjoys these wrongful actions. The question you must asked is are you the father of heaven or this world(Satan)?
Quick note, I have to confess that these chapters are getting hard and harder as they are approach this arc's end. With the home stretch on the horizon the chapters are starting to feel like they would be difficult and more time to make. But it's a good difficult as this arc will soon be done and the next arc will be seen soon. At the moment it is debatable what is going to happen next, but I have few ideas.
Now that the chapter is over, the next chapter will focus once more on Traverse Town. In the original Kingdom Hearts series , it has become one of the more used worlds within the games, appearing almost 5 times maybe in some games. The only games it hasn't been shown are Birth by Sleep, X(Chi) or Union Cross, KH2, 358/2 days and KH3. This story will heavily used this world and other original worlds from both Kingdom Hearts and Original ideas by yours truly. This is to give the characters more stuff then what you would normally see, and humanizing the characters if not for plot/action chapters but more so slice of life stories.
As many of you have no doubt notice, there are more appearance of Digimon and Pokemon. I intend to use every form of both Pokemon and Digimon until reaching their respectd worlds or singlar world. Of course if by some reason more Pokemon types are presented, know the they will be added regardless of how new they are to this or next generation. But I also think at this point with how Pokemon main games are presented, there might be many more generations, but that's an argument for another time.
For the chapters with each movie presented, I might try and have them revisited. But it will take sometime to figure them out, Smokey and the Bandit 2 is one I did see once and don't remember much about it. If that one is revisited, I will make some adjustments that's more interesting. Many of this is debatable because how big and multi-crossover this story will get at times. But to confirm some of you who have read this story and given it a chance, the movies that have been shown like Snow White and Seven Drawfs, Smokey and the Bandit, and Jumanji are confirm worlds to revisited. I don't want to do this too often because that would too many can of worms itself.
Then finally to many readers who have made this story a fav or follower. I truly thank everyone for giving this a shot, it's confusing mess I know. But I guess some stories from the beginning can be summed up as messes. This one I hope will be interesting and exciting to read, that and what series to be used will eventually appear once they appear.
P.S. Just another note While there are some official crossovers like Adventure time with Marceline and Simon's past before present Adventure Time story. The next arc will be another crossover with more recent cartoon show. I won't say what it is but will say you might be more excited since even on Fanfiction it's the small fanfic stories that hasn't been shown yet. With this chapter 9 is officially done and only 2-3 more chapter remains.

Anaconda - A Giant Water Boa, big enough to swallow humans and other creatures of the wild. This one came outside of Jumanji hunting people in manslaughter, it was hunting some people that are lead by Paul Serone who wanted to capture the Anaconda for his own reasons. But thanks to what Jumanji had gain from the Key, it somehow has the power to bring other animals to this world and be used for the game. It was the first non-monster Peter Cree, Judy and her brother Peter(Same name). It was thanks to their quick thinking, teamwork and trickery they manage to defeat the anaconda with much effort. But in the middle of this, Peter Cree's scent had brought confuse yet curious interaction as it couldn't decide to eat him or make friends.
Beastman(Spike) - From another world, Spike is considered a Beastman soldier that is deciated to containing human population on his planet. Lead by their Spiral Queen, their job is to assure Humans don't evolve into something beyond their own potential. Spike is low rank soldier with Bear like characteristics, but at the same time has shown hidden intention when making a deal with Van Pelt and Snipe that would have made difficult to finish the game. From what he can understand, the Jumanji game somehow brought him here on this planet without warning. But at the same time suspect that this game had hidden intention by bringing him here. Taking advantage of this Spike seemed more interested in achieving his own goals, even if betrayal is necessary.
Great White Shark - From the depths of Martha's Vineyard, this Great White was not your average shark. This one had hungry flesh from human blood to killing anything within it's teeth range. This Great White has been hunted down by Quint who intends on killing this shark as a trophy, along with two other Matt Hopper and Martian Brody who are helping hunt this threat within ocean waters. Before this shark is killed by stroke of luck, it was brought into the world where Jumanji got creative on it's way of games. With the Crocodiles failing to kill their prey, the Great White tried to attack them, but didn't success in it's attempt.
T-Rex/Jurassic Park - An extinct animal species that had been engineer on island for Dinosaurs known as Jurassic Park. With the game adding more then one challenge at once, this one might be their toughest challenge. T-Rex is known for being the top dinosaur in the food chain, but now it has been added into the game with more chaos spiraling out of control. This guy took everyone to fight including those who don't normally fight. Eventually they manage to defeat this Dinosaur by showing their prowess, scaring it away as the game continued.
Beowulf/Grimm - As the game continued, another monster from unknown origins had taken the stage, similar to heartless yet more beastly with greater intelligence. This monster came after their defeat of the T-Rex, but now it has other prey to catch. Yet when facing the unfamiliar enemies outside of huntsmen and huntress, the Grimm had to call on his allies to fight back. Defeated the remaining Grimm ran off unable to fight without killing themselves.
Insects/Skull Island - With Jumanji soon finished, the board game decided to get creative by sending more troublesome enemies then everything they had faced before. Along with many numbers of spiders, the insects from skull island are not to be trifled. They are what man's worst fears come to life, able to kill many animals and people if given normal size. Unthreatening by themselves when alone, some are much dangerous then other types. But what makes these insects dangerous is their unquenching hunt for hunger. This had made them formidable foes, fortunate enough they are place in the dark depths of Skull Island where they cannot be found so easily.
Ice-Shadow Monster(Simon) - An unknown entity that seemed obsessed with finding his princess. Some reason or another he relates Marcy as his princess that has been long forgotten. This is due to the combine powers of Simon using his crown to defend them, but is consume by it's power with much more power given thanks to the darkness. This resulted in Simon's transforming into heartless form and human form, making him a rare heartless hybrid that can maintain his personality and character traits without becoming a mindless heartless without losing his heart. Now under the influence of both darkness and crown, Simon own personality can switch from creepy stalker that seeks princess to uncontrollable beast in monster form. One that takes form in his crown, but the other with darker desire base on current situation and circumstance that conflicts with his mind set.
Moon star/Gallade - The leader of Pokemon and Digimon, after being separated from his friends, family and planet he has found others of his species and more to unite in this dire situation. It was later revealed that they came from the Jumanji board game about 26 years back, this made Alan realize that somehow the board game is containing Pokemon and Digimon residents within itself. A Bonus is his psychic powers he can used for certain communications to humans if necessary, what even makes their situation interesting is their could be more scattered around the universe in this same predicament.
Drake(Espeon)/New Info - After evolving into Espeon, Drake now has the ability to talk through telepathic communications, it was after some training with other psychic this ability became fully recognize. Having to restart his training once more, the unfortunate fact is no pokemon trainer is around. But to Drake's own courage and determination, Drak wasn't going to quit anytime soon.
