As the helicopter rose higher into the sky, the men on the ground began shooting at them. Gasps echoed throughout the helicopter as the group realized what was happening.

The men were able to hit just below the propellers, causing the part to break.

A loud beeping sounded off. Alex yanked on the control, trying to keep them from crashing.

"What's going on?"

"Why is it beeping?"

"Something's broken!"

"What?"

"What do you mean something's broken?!"

"Hold on!" Alex yelled out as the propellers sliced through the top of a tree. They then hit what looked like a palm tree, before falling into a canyon.

Fridge yelled at while panicking, "We're going to die!"

Usually Tillie would disagree, but right now she closed her eyes in a panic.

Bethany yelled, "No!"

Alex pulled on the control, finally able to level out the helicopter before they hit the ground. They flew in the air right at ground level. He yelled, "The helicopter won't go back up."

Tillie looked confused, "What do you mean?"

Alex pointed up, "The collective is busted."

"What?"

"It controls the plane up there, which tilts the rotors. It controls the pitch, it's how we go up and down."

Spencer looked up.

As they kept flying along the ground of the canyon, the sound of drums echoed throughout Jumanji. Bethany turned, and looked back at the group. "You guys."

"That's not good."

Fridge shook his head, "There's no way that's good news."

Loud galloping started in the distance. Fridge looked back. He yelled once he realized what they were, "Albino rhinos!"

Spencer turned, looking at the rhinos running behind the helicopter.

"They're indigenous to Jumanji, they're huge, white, and they eat people."

Bethany whined, "No."

Alex focused on trying to fly the helicopter."

As Fridge sat there, he noticed his stomach felt off. "My stomach's starting to bother me a bit."

"Go up!"

"I can't go up!"

"I think I had too many of those margaritas."

The albino rhinos continued the chase, obliterating everything in their path.

"What are we going to do you guys?"

Spencer spoke, "I'm going to fix it."

Bethany looked back, "Okay yes."

"Tell me what to do Alex."

Alex nodded, "You have to connect the flight control rod to the mesh plate under the rotors."

Spencer repeated it to himself, "Flight control rod, mesh plate, under the rotors."

Martha shook her head confused, "Wait, what?"

Spencer nodded, "I'll be right back." He stood up, and climbed outside onto the side of the helicopter. As he held on, he tried to not get nervous.

"Please be careful Spencer."

"Hurry up dude."

Spencer spoke, "Alright, I'm just going to stand on whatever this is. Need to pull myself up towards these deadly helicopter blades. That's the mesh plate, there's the rod thingy." He held out his arm, grabbing the rod.

One of the rhinos hit the tail of the helicopter with its horn. Spencer and everyone else panicked. Spencer's legs flew up as he held on, the rhinos continuing to hit the helicopter.

Martha reached out, trying to grab Spencer's legs. "Spencer!"

Spencer grabbed back onto the rod, trying to force it back to the mesh plate.

Martha getting nervous once she realized how close they were getting to the end of the canyon, let out a gasp.

Spencer looked over, noticing what was happening. He quickly put the bolt back into place, as the rhinos continued their antics. He yelled, "Got it!"

Alex pulled up, allowing the helicopter to finally ascend.

However as that happened, Fridge had leaned over causing the jewel to fall out of his backpack.
