Hunted Where we left off Peter was in a very sticky situation.
The crew were still ensnared in tight cocoons in a giant spider web. Judy squirmed in her cocoon but the giant spider's silk fibres were tightly woven around her.
Meanwhile a tiny baby Peter was tugging frantically at gooey snot that was stretching from inside the cartoon clown spider's big red shiny nose. Peter grunted as he tugged at the goo.
"Eeeeeeew..." Judy groaned.
"Oz this is not helping us..." Alan frowned.
The clown spider picked up Peter and pulled him out of its snot. The clown spider frowned at Peter. Peter cooed and babbled. The clown spider saw a stalactite and grinned. it held Peter pressed against the hard basalt of the stalactite with two legs. It then squeezed its big round red shiny nose with the pincers on another pair of its legs. Snot sprayed out in thick green streams as the spider webbed Peter up in a cocoon of snot.
"Oz enough! That's gross!" Judy groaned.
Oscar laughed. Like most boys he likes gross things...
Peter grunted as he squirmed in his cocoon of snot...
The clown spider then passed time by making balloon animals.
Oscar smirked.
"Oz..." Judy seethed.
Oscar sighed and cut himself free of his cocoon with a Swiss Army knife. He snapped his fingers, which had the effect of banishing the clown spider, freeing everyone from the spider web and restoring Peter to his correct size and age. Oh and giving him back his clothes.
"Oz are you deliberately tormenting me.." Peter frowned.
"What gave you that impression?" Oscar asked, raising an eyebrow.
They head up some stone stairs. Eventually they come across Maestro Octavio.
"You are becoming a thorn in my side!" the foppish composer snarled.
"I shall compose for you, a symphony of pain! a concerto of carnage!" said Maestro Octavio.
Peter and Judy gulped.
"How about you just shut up?!" Oscar yelled.
"I'll teach you some manners you cur!" the composer snarled.
A giant piano hammer, the hammers that strike the strings, fell...
"Look out!" Peter yelled. They all dived out of the way.
"Oz help! Somehow!" Judy cried.
"Okay! I shall summon... Macy Gray holding some flowers!" said Oscar. Macy Gray appeared.
She sang.
Judy face palmed.
Oscar pulled out from somewhere a stick of butter. He unwrapped the butter and took a bite.
Peter's nose ran as he gawked baffled.
...
"Now for a sharp note!" Maestro Octavio snarled. ballistae built into the walls fire violin fiddles.
"Look out!" Alan yelled.
Oscar created a force field to block the razor sharp fiddles.
"I can not maintain the barrier!" said Oscar suffering a nosebleed from exerting his psychic powers.
"Put down the butter then!" Peter yelled.
Oscar glared at Peter.
"I'm sick and tired of Philistines like you brats! With your "Pop" music! Pah!" Maestro Octavio ranted as he played a violin.
"Yeah and I'm playing a tiny violin for you... not!" said Oscar fighting his way through the booby traps such as metronome pendulum blade.
"Ugh! Everyone's a critic! I won't let my life's work be insulted!" Maestro Octavio seethed as he wrote symphonies and hurled magically flying sheets of lyrics and melodies to be played at Oscar.
Peter and Judy winced.
"Jude, you think this freak is just plain weird?" Peter asked.
"I think literally every nut we encounter in Jumanji who turns out to be hostile is just gonna be weirder and weirder." said Judy.
"Well this guy is no Van Pelt..." said Alan.
"I have a name!" said Octavio.
"Well what is it?!" Alan asked.
"What does it matter? You will soon be dead by my hands!" Maestro Octavio snarled.
Alan frowned. Another lunatic... he thought.
"Yeah, yeah... whatever... whoops! Missed me!" Oscar taunted Maestro Octavio.
The maestro seethed.
Peter winced as Oscar made it rain giant loaves of bread.
"Oz watch out for us!" He whined.
"Oh yeah... oops!" Oscar said sheepishly.
"You are only prolonging your demise!" Maestro Octavio seethed. "Dash it all! I have melodies to compose!"
"I just want to go home!" Alan yelled.
"Silence!" Maestro Octavio snapped. A giant metal quaver note dropped down upon Alan but he dodged out of the way in time.
Van Pelt meanwhile observed the carnage between those brats and Octavio. He seethed. "They are my quarry!"
Oscar darted about, dodging the razor sharp fiddles being launched like arrows. Rats! I need to start attacking, do I dare use my powers..?
...
Brantford.
Officer Bentley sat in his patrol car and sipped his coffee. Thank goodness, no zoo animals on the lose today... He thought to himself, smiling and observing the peaceful neighbourhood. Kids were playing, he only needed to keep a a presence just in case. Not that crime plagued Brantford, it was far from that, it was almost idyllic.
Elsewhere Tommy delivered newspapers.
"Express Delivery!" Yes, he is that annoying cartoon kid from those Daily Express commercials... He brushed aside his blond bangs.
Rock sighed and shook his head as he pummelled a nerd.
Back in Jumanji. Oscar dodging death traps powered by Octavio playing music decided to inflict chaos again. He summoned a giant clown spider again.
Peter winced seeing a giant spider with a cartoon clown head. The clown's noggin had green tufts of hair and a red shiny nose.
"Oz seriously..." Peter groaned irked by Oscar's being weird.
"It's a good day to pie!" said Oscar grinning. Ironically after he said that the clown spider threw a pie at Peter.
Peter ducked, avoiding the cream pie.
Oscar tsk'ed.
"Oz quit goofing off!" Judy yelled as it suddenly rained fish...
Oscar glared at her.
