ꕥ OUT OF THE JUNGLE

"Now we got Problems and I don't think we can solve 'em"



It was nearly Night time, we're all walking to the Statue. We stopped and stared at it from a Distance "There it is" Fridge said "There it is" I repeated "We'd better get walking" Spencer says, and so we did. It took some time that my Braid untangled.


Was that part of the fucking game?


The six of us reached a dark forest towards the Jaguar statue and for cinematic effect, The creator of the game thought it was a good idea to add lightning and thunder to that Level. "I think we just follow this path" Bethany looked up from the Map a Path.


Something's off


"No, it can't be that easy" Alex shook his head "The Defenders?" Bethany read "What does that mean?" Fridge questioned "There's only one way to find out" Spencer said "Fridge...give me the Jewel"


God, please don't smolder


"Spencer?" My stupid Mouth blurted out but her just looked at me and nodded. Fridge took out the green jewel from his backpack and carefully gave it to him. Suddenly, torches lit up from the path as drums sounded again.


What a Fun Night.


"Somethings about to happen" Martha said "I hate those drums" Fridge frowned "I'm gonna Die" I stared into nothing. Spencer was about to walk but I stopped him "What, you're just gonna walk in there?"


"No" he replied "That's what the game wants us to do. Follow the Path....it's a Trap" Then Bethany pushed me over gently and looked at something "When you see the elephant....begin the climb"


We looked at Spencer "I'll go through the trees" Spencer says "The trees?" Fridge raised an eyebrow "Yeah"


"Do you think that's what that means?" Martha asked "That must be it" said Bethany.


"That's the move. This is the final level of the Game and I'm pretty sure this is a Bravestone thing" he started climbing a tree. Yes, if you mean wanting to die then sure.


"Did he just refer to himself in the third person?" Bethany stared at him "Fourth person I think" says Martha.


We all watch him climb a Tree from one to another "How does he do that?" Alex asked "Climbing is one of his Strengths" Fridge answered "Ah, Gotcha"


"Cake makes me Explode" he added then we heard someone or a Spencer scream, we all panicked. Martha, Bethany and Fridge keeps calling out his name while I repeatedly whispered 'Oh my God' to myself.


Jaguars appeared from the grasses on the torch-lit path. Spencer fell back down from the sky, we asked him what happened but he didn't wanna talk about it.


"So we need a New Plan" Bethany says "Spencer any ideas?" but he didn't say anything "Can I speak with you for a minute?" he pointed at Fridge with his voice cracking.


"Now?"



"Okay, I don't know videogames but what I do know is Football" Fridge started "Now those lightning-fast, man-eating cats out there? They're the Defenders which means that we gotta run one hell of an offense"


Bethany spoke "You guys" she gestured in front of us, we could see a Light and soon hear Engines revving. I held onto my Weapon immediately, "We gotta go" Alex said "Alright, here's what we're gonna do"


"We're gonna fan out and run a play that I call: The double reverse Refrigerator


Bethany you go up the left side


I'll go up the right


Alex, you'll draw the defense so Spencer can go up the middle"


"We'll go with Spencer" Martha said as she and I we're only the ones with no assigned task.


"No there's something else we need you to do"


Ohh...


Fridge left us a Radio before he went away.


Ooh baby, I love your way, everyday yeah, yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, everyday


Martha and I stood on either side of an elephant statue "You guys like to dance?" Martha said as we start fighting them.


Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page


Martha grabbed one of the dudes gun and used it to him on the stomach, I activated my weapon and hit another under his Jaw.


That must've hurt...and I don't care


☘ (Time skip cause I'm lazy as fuq)


We are fighting for a few minutes, Martha and I were beating up the last guy. When he fell down I heard a swift movement of something. A rope was wrapped around my Ankle and Martha's.


With that two motorcycles was dragging us each after we fell down, "No!" Martha grunted trying to stop the thing. I went ahead and took a tiny knife from my Belt and cut it off.


I managed to cut it off and throw my weapon to the Motorcycle Freak who just fucking dragged me, It went back to my hand as I smirked to myself. The guy who's with Martha flew across the forest, leaving his motorcycle but Martha is still tied to the thing.


The vehicle drove over a tree that made it stop. Martha got up while we heard more engines "Get to the Statue. Go!" I said running towards a Vine and Kicking two more men. Spencer drove to the Jaguar, Martha and I split up to find the others which is definitely not a Good Idea but whatever.


While I'm walking around tryna' find Fridge a Jaguar jumped infront of me.


Oh come on, I just finished fighting


The giant cat jumped towards me but I flipped it over then I hear another growling behind me.


Oh shit


Everything turned black



Wee~ I feel from the sky


No worries, I still have two. I decided to ditch finding everyone and followed Spence to the foot of the statue. I see Van Pelt pointing a Gun at Bethany's head "Stop!" I exclaimed. Alex and Martha appeared beside me. I tried to get closer but Jaguars peeked through the Grass.


"Take me instead, Okay?" Alex said, Russel smirked as the Jaguars jumped forward making us back away. "Give me the Jewel" he tightened his grip at Bethany. We looked at Spencer "I can't do that"


"Five" the bitch started counting "Four..."


"I can't give you the Jewel"


"Three"


"Spencer" Martha whispered insisting to give the Jewel "Two!"


"Because I don't have it!"


Then we all turned to a Sound, an animal sound. An Elephant with Fridge riding on it's back crashed through a Bush letting out a loud trumpet sound.


"ZOOLOGY BITCH!" he yelled holding the Green Jewel up


Jaguars jumped on the poor Elephants face causing the it to swing it's head, the Psycho Adventurer pointed his gun at Fridge but Bethany bit his Wrist, directing his shot towards the elephant.


Fridge accidentally let go of the jewel, throwing it up the Statue. "Douche Bag!" Bethany stomped on his foot when Van Pelt is distracted "You.Suck!" she elbowed him.


The elephant ran away.


I turned to Spencer "Elephant" I grinned "Begin the Climb" he says "Get up there and I'll get the jewel for you" I said "Y/N..."


"Trust me" I looked him in the eye "I'll get it to you, Go!" I ran into the woods as he drove the Motorcycle again. Martha and Alex are beating up Van Pelt "Go Y/N!" Bethany shouted.



I managed to flip myself to where I think the jewel is, I stopped and look at the Path. Leaves were burning leaving only a Few ways for me to get the Green Thingy which was in the Middle of the Place. There is also a few boulders I could possibly stand on  and some beetles crawling around farting up some kind of fire or flammable gas.


Bombardier beetles?


I let out a Heavy breath and started jumping on those items, one of the boulders wobbled as I tried to maintain my Balance. I did one last Backflip and take the jewel in my hands. My head turned up to the statue.


You can do this. When you get out of this shithole you can continue bullying Bullies. No seriously those popular girls are horrible at it.


But then the Fire sparked up more and made a Clearing, causing me flinch "I'll take that" a Cold voice said behind me. I whipped my head around, Van Pelt. I gripped the Jewel more tightly. The fire moved and made a Fire pit that was behind me with a little circling me while I started having Breathing problems as I fell on my knees.


The fire mainly came from an animal, I guess that's why he can control it


"Game over" he said then he looked up and so did I, Spencer was on the move "I don't think so" I got on my feet and chuckled "Fire's my Weakness" I cocked my eyebrows looking at him intensely.


I smirked before hugging the jewel and letting myself drip into the Fire pit.


I feel myself falling from the sky, I straightened my body so I can fall faster. I can see Spencer swinging on the statue, he held his hand out as I slapped the Jewel onto his hand and land down safely.


Natasha Romanoff style, what the hell-


I flipped my hair looking down at my Friends since I landed to a Higher ground. We noticed Spencer attach the Jewel but nothing happened.


"Call out it's name" Bethany muttered


"Call out it's name!" Martha shouted


"Call out it's name, Everyone!"


"Jumanji!" we all yelled


"JUMANJI!"


A green light bursts throughout the entire Jungle. We closed our eyes as the blinding rays spreads.



Then it's daytime, I looked around in awe and satisfaction with a Wide Smile on my Face. The six of us Celebrated "We did it" Martha and I laughed.


A familiar looking Jeep drove towards the Statue. "Guys, It's Nigel" I pointed to it. The six of us ran to the Old Vehicle, Nigel got out of the Jeep "Well done, intrepid Adventurers! You lifted the Curse!"


"All of Jumanji Thanks You" we all chuckled and giggled "Your work here is done...So sadly this is where we Part. Seaplane McDonough, Let me shake your Hand"


Alex walked to him and shook Nigel's Hand, he started disappearing in thin air "Alex..." Bethany said with her eyebrows in a Wrinkle. She's obviously upset about it so I put an arm around her and patted her back, giving her a Quick hug.


"Adieu, Professor Oberon" Nigel bid the Girl...Woman goodbye as she went back to the real world


"I'll miss the Most, my Little mouse-"


"Get me the hell out of here" Fridge quick took his hand, Martha followed him into going back.


"Farewell, Raven Huxley" I went to shake his hand but Spencer stopped me "Wait" he said, I turned to him "What if we didn't go back?" I looked at him in disbelief "I just...I like being like this...with you"


I looked at him "Then let's be like this..everyday. Just come home" I weakly smiled. Nigel reached out his Hand as I shooked it.



I open my eyes and I see that I'm back to my old, goth self. Bethany, Fridge and Martha stood behind me. Spencer is in front of us "Oh my God" I looked at myself to make sure everything was there


"Yes,yes,yes! I'm back baby!" Fridge punched the air


"I will never complain about my body ever again, Oh thank god. Oh, I missed you" Bethany says.


We fell quiet and exchanged looks "Where's Alex?"


Most of the Staff in the school were gone and the Five of us walked to Freak House but when we got there it looked different.


"Freak House?" Fridge said, we stopped walking "Do you think..."


"That means, maybe..." some gray car pulled over in front of it then a Little Girl got out and ran towards her Grandpa which was...Mr. Vreeke. Another person walked out of the Car "Alex?" Bethany mumbled.


We just stood there until he noticed and approached us, Bethany waved at him nervously with a Smile begining to form on her lips "Bethany?" Alex pointed to her, she nodded.


"Spencer?"


"Yeah" he confirmed


"Ruby Roundhouse?" he grinned as Martha laughed "Assassin?" Alex gazed at me "One and only" I said.


"And that would make you Fridge" Fridge chuckled "I'm stoked to see you. All of you"


"Y-you made it back" Bethany says "Yeah, I did. It spit me out right where I started so....1996"


"and your parents and your house?" Spencer stared at the Old House we used to be scared of "Yeah, All good Bro"


"You're an adult now" Bethany shook her head "You have a Family" she looked down at the Baby in Alex' hands "I do, this is Andy" he introduced "and then my daughter. My daughter's name is Bethany" he smiled at the Teenager.


"We named her after the Girl who saved my Life" it's fun talking to them and all but a Certain car caught my Attention. It stopped in front of my House and it looked oddly familiar.


"Uhm excuse me" I gently pushed Fridge a side to see the lady. A rich looking, beautiful woman searched around the neighborhood and laid eyes on me she had H/C colored hair and E/C eyes.


The Woman had tears welled in her eyes as she hugged me tight.


(You can either imagine your own Mom or Alicia Silverstone)


"Y/N I've missed you so much" she cried


"Mom?" I slowly hugged her back "Yes that's right, Honey" the Lady stroked my Hair


"Look how Big you've grown..." we pulled away from each other and I looked at her almost crying but I quickly wiped it away "Your Father is Gone..." she looked down.


"What? How?"


"Cancer" Mom sniffled "But he asked me to give you this" she handed me a Red box. I looked at her suspiciously before opening it, there laid a shiny Gold rose necklace and a few Pictured of us. As a Family.


(You can imagine your Own Dad or Patrick Wilson AKA Ed Warren)


One where Dad and I were smearing frosting on each other, another with Mom covered in flour while Dad had me on his shoulder and we're eating cookies secretly and the Last one.


My Mom and Dad are next to each other carrying me while I blew my Candle on my third Birthday. This made my Tear roll down my Cheeks, there's a Note.


"I know you won't forgive me and you shouldn't but I'll always love you my Bumblebee.


Ps: I made this myself in crafting time out"


I laughed a little when I remembered he's terrible at crafting back then but this is the most beautiful thing he's ever made. "He's planning to let you inherit his Money before he passed away but he said you already did" my Mom says eyeing me knowingly.


"About that..." I reached into my Bag and gave her the Two cards I stole a few years ago "I didn't spend that much I promise" I put my Hands to my Chest.


"I think you should keep one" she handed me the Black credit card while she kept the gold one. She looked behind me "Your Friends are waiting and I should get going"


"Where?"


"Your grandparents just moved here" she wiggled her eyebrows


"No way!"


"Yes way, Honey. You can come over whenever you'd like, Now I gotta go" she opened the Car door.


"Mom" I called out "I forgive you"


and Dad since last year...


She sighed and nodded with a smile "Bye sweetie, I love you. No dating and please take that Jewelry off your face" she said as I had some piercings on my Eyebrows "No" I simply replied


Attitude from: Mom


"Okay" she closed the door of the Lamborghini and drove off


That No dating ain't gonna apply


I ran back to my Friends "Lovely reunion don't you think guys?" Fridge said "Shut up" I death glared at him.


"Your Mom is pretty" Bethany said, continuing our walk "I know"



A few weeks flew by and I was walking outside of the school since classes doesn't start 'till one hour. I stopped when a tall figure stood in front of me, indeed it's awkward Spencer.


"Hi" he said


"Hi"


"I really...wanted to call you"


"Yeah, uhm sorry I've been busy with my Mom"


"I don't know why I didn't call"


We both talked the same time


You make me Awkward, Spencer


"We've been working on Family things and like..." I paused when he was just looking at me.


"What?"


Spencer cupped my cheeks and then kissed me. It's like the whole fucking world is in slow motion. His lips were soft and the kiss was...


can't believe I'm saying this


It's amazing. We pulled apart and laughed "Not bad, Huxley" he laughed at my face that was completely in shock and frozen "Shut up Bravestone"


It's happy and all but something made us quiet.


The Jumanji drums were back, I spotted Bethany,Martha and Fridge in the distance and looked at them worriedly.



Fridge smashed the game console with a Small Wrecking ball from a Junkyard, he looked at the Other teenagers with a Smirk and raised eyebrows as they walk away from the thing.


•~~~


The Five Adventurers ended up being Friends over the years and swore to never go back to that Horrid Videogame. As for Y/N and Spencer they're relationship grew stronger and Y/N managed to fix things with her Grandparents who happens to be Billionaires. She visits her Dad's grave twice a month with the Golden necklace he gave her. The Five Friends also Graduated High School together, what a Fun Group.


As for the Videogame? well...
It will speak for itself


Once again, I am Nigel Billingsly
