Jumainji seaQuest Style

The captain stepped onto the bridge. It was chaos. Most of the monkeys that did the damage had left, but a few remained, wreaking havoc on everything. A few non-moving bodies lay on the floor. Yep, that damn game had come back to haunt him. Bridger could still remember the turn he tried to cheat.
One of the bodies twitched, and groaned. Bridger knelt over the body. It was Ortiz.
Ortiz opened his eyes. It looked like he was having a hard time focusing on anything. He blinked a few times.
"I've died and gone to hell, haven't I?"
The captain rolled his eyes and decided not to comment. "Do you think you can walk? We have to get off the ship."
"Yeah, I think so." He tried to sit up. "Wow, head rush."
"It can wait. Try again when you're ready."

Tim and Tony were sitting down in front of the game board. They had found the dice. It was easy, as long as they didn't step on a snake the snakes left them alone. Now they were back in Tony and Lucas' room for Tim to take his turn.
Tim blew on the dice in his hands, for good luck. He shook them. The thought occurred to him the if once brought luck twice would be more luck. He brought the dice up to his mouth again.
"Roll the dice already." Tony startled him and he dropped the dice onto the game board. A five and a six stared back at him. The last token moved forward. And a new message appeared in the center.
"They grow much faster
Than bamboo;
Take care or they'll
Come after you."
A vine grew under the game board, lifting it up. The two looked at each other. Suddenly glass shattered overhead, and water rushed into the small room, instantly soaking them. They hurried out of the room taking the game board with them.
"I think it's time to find Commander Ford and Lucas." Tony nodded and wrung some of the water out of his shirt.
***
Currently Ford and Lucas were looking for them. They had already found the dead body of the snake. Right then they were trying to figure out where Tim and Tony had gone.
"Do you think that the ship crashing was Tim's turn?" Lucas asked.
"I don't know. I guess we'll find out when we find them." Ford wasn't really paying attention to Lucas. He was looking for some sort of sign as to where Tim and Tony went. Could they have gone to the bridge? No, that would mean possibly heading toward the danger. That was unlike both Tony and Tim. How about the mess? They could've been hungry.
He was thinking so hard about where they might be; he wasn't paying that much attention to what was happening around him. If he had been he might have seen the vine wrap itself around his foot before it pulled his feet out from under him.
As it happened, he didn't know anything was really wrong until he found himself face to face with the grill like floor of seaQuest.
"Commander." Lucas was looking down at him. It was awkward trying to look up when his whole body faced downward.
"I'm ok." And he felt ok too. That was he felt ok till his head met the floor again as he was yanked backward. "Ow."
Lucas had grabbed his arms, but he was no match for the strength of the vine and they both moved backward.
He felt another set of hands on his arms. He looked up. It was Tim. But if Tim was there where was Tony? All three slid a few more feet and around a corner. Ford looked up again to see the looks of horror on Lucas and Tim's faces. This couldn't be good. He didn't want to look backwards to find out what was there.
The pressure on his legs let up. Which meant that Tim, Lucas, and himself all lunged forward, landing in a pile.
He looked down and saw Tony stab some sort of yellow flower with... A steak knife? That was all his brain could handle. The danger was over and the adrenaline that had kept him, if not awake, aware left him. Ford passed out.
***
"Is it dead?" Lucas looked back and forth between Ford's two rescuers. Tim and Tony had showed up just in time to help him hold on to Ford. He was grateful really, but the two of them were soaked and it looked like Tony had some blood on him.
"I hope so. If it moves again, Tim'll shoot it."
"Why me?"
"Cause you still have your gun. I lost mine under that snake. I ain't gettin it." There was some sort of story here, but it was neither the time nor the place to tell it. They need to get Ford to Med bay, or what ever was left of it.
"Let's just get out of here."

Lonnie Henderson was in her room. Not doing much, just brushing her hair, and getting ready to crawl in, when a crash jolted the ship. She had no clue what was going on. Looking out the small window in the door, she saw... Monkeys? Yes, monkeys. They were everywhere. Smashing stuff and breaking things. It looked like a war zone in the corridor. Monkeys couldn't open doors, right?
That hope was dashed when she saw some one being pulled out of their room by the hair. The person was so far away she never saw the face and wasn't even able to tell if it was male or female. She watched in horror as the monkeys descended. The person never stood a chance.
Lonnie managed to use a metal bar from her bed to smash the controls for her door, knowing that was all she could do to keep the monkeys out. Then she did something she didn't do very often.
She prayed. The ship crashed and she kept on praying. She prayed so hard she never saw the vine sneak in a crack that had formed from the crash.

Lucas got Ford's feet, with the game board tucked under one arm, and Tony and Tim got his arms. Together they managed to carry him through the long corridors of the seaQuest. They walked in silence. Each lost within the maelstrom that was their own thoughts. Monkeys were still prevalent in the halls, and it was hard to fight them off and carry the limp body of their Commander. So they just ended up avoiding as much as possible any corridors that either had vines and/or monkeys in them. When they had no other choice, Tim would take Ford's upper body and Tony would take out his knife and fight off whatever attacked them. Like this they made their way to Med bay.
At one point they passed a dead body. The monkeys had gotten it good. Or maybe it was the vines. It was barely recognizable as human.
"We'll come back for whoever it is when this is all over with." Tim said. And they resumed the long march silent march to med bay.
They finally made it. Only to find the entrance had been blocked, by a human. It gave them hope that there was someone still alive on the ship.
The blockage was moveable but only by someone on the inside. At least they hadn't smashed the door controls so no one could get in or out.
"Help. Hey, someone, anyone, we have an unconscious member," Lucas yelled. It got someone's attention, because the blockage moved to reveal a distressed Wendy Smith. They could hear Dagwood in the back ground, evidently taking care of someone that was wounded.
"Get in here. Quickly." And they got in. They now knew where everyone was. "What happened? Have you seen the Captain? Is there anyone else? Dagwood, come take the Commandeer and put him somewhere comfortable."
As Dagwood took Ford from them, Tim began to tell her what had happened. From Lucas' aunt sending him the game to their encounter with the vines. Lucas filled in the spots where he and Ford had been separated from Tim and Tony.
"All this is due to a game? I find that hard to believe but that is what all the evidence points too." She sighed. "Could you help me tend to the people here? As soon as the good Commander wakes up, you can leave to continue the game. Tell anyone you find to come here. We'll try our hardest to keep it safe."
And all three helped where they could, comforted where necessary, and waited for Ford to wake up so they could continue the game and hopefully stop this before very many more were hurt or killed.
