I couldn't wait and just posted this. Sorry if there are any mistakes. Although I hope you guys catch the Shadow Games element here.

I'm trying to add a twist to the story so it won't be word from word from the movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. I'm trying to add my own spin since the characters won't be exactly like they were in the movie so reactions would be a bit different.

I only own Jacinta. I don't own any of the characters or Duel Monsters listed.

Chapter 2: Choose your Character

Duke POV

"You won't believe it but Azucena found it at a yard sale for $10" Jacinta told Yugi excitedly as she waved her hands around showing her enthusiasm while her curly hair flung into different directions.

"Dukey" I heard a whine from the phone from my girlfriend Kaoruko Himekoji.

"You know what babe, I'll call you later" I tell her only to get a whine from her.

"But Dukey you promised to take me to that nice restaurant!" She whines. Well I did tell her I would take her out. But she was the one who insisted at the restaurant.

"Gotta go-" I interrupt her before hanging up.

"Everything okay" a voice asked me timidly.

"It's fine" I grumbled only to realize that it was Jacinta asking me. Damn. I saw the look of hurt in her eyes. Although Yugi interrupted calling for Jacinta's attention before I could say anything.

"Hey Jacinta when did you get a new game?" Yugi asked her showing her an old school game cartridge.

Of course she would get excited over an old school video game. She does have that thing of playing what she calls the classics.

"Oh, remember when I told you about Azucena buying this old school game console. She thought she might have been too good to be true but actually she got very lucky since the console was in mint condition. Although mom and auntie said that she wasn't allowed to play on the game it came with until I play it first. Actually have you heard of the game maybe Jumanji? " She asked Yugi.

"Can't say I have, Kaiba?" Yugi asked only to regret it when Jacinta began shaking her head furiously. Seriously how fluffy is her hair? Kaoruko uses lots of hair spray to maintain that wavy look but if the wind is blowing it's really stiff.

"No" Kaiba grumbles looking ready to kill someone even though he kept typing on his laptop.

"Why don't we take a break and check out this game?" Yugi proposes.

"Really? We are going to take a break using some type of old-school Nintendo or something? " I scoff turning to Kaiba to back me up only to see him glare at me. If there was one thing I noticed is that Jacinta doesn't really have any of the latest games. Only board games or old school stuff.

"Well I like playing these games." Jacinta muttered flushing red. Of course Yugi would give me a disappointed look. But thankfully Yugi plugged in the video game cartridge.

I slumped back on the couch wondering if I should have gone with my new girlfriend. She was rather attractive to look at.

I mean its obvious she is giving me the time of day because of the money I have from selling my game but I'm a lucky guy to have a gorgeous woman in my arms. Right?

Jacinta's POV

The game opened up with a gong sound before words began appearing on the screen. "A game for those who seek to find... a way to leave their world behind." I turned to Seto jokingly saying "well that's catchy." He only let out a snort but continued typing.

"Looks like it's one of those adventure games Jace" Yugi points out as the main menu showed me.

I threw my hand on Yugi's control before he continued to the next screen. "Yugi, am I crazy or does those animals look like Duel Monsters."

"Definitely Duel Monsters, there is Lion Alligator, Botanical Lion, Super-War Lion, Elephant Statue of Disaster, Orgoth the Relentless" Yugi starts listing as the both of us lean closer to the TV.

"Why wouldn't-" Seto said suddenly hovering over me scaring me.

"EEeeeeppp!" I shriek out of fright clutching onto Duke's arm only to realize it and go back to my spot beside Yugi trying to not pay any attention to Duke's expression. Thank goodness I am short.

"-there be no information on a Duel Monter's video game" Seto continued ignoring my shrieking of fright." Then again, he had years of practice. Mokuba still loves to scare me out of my wits.

"Well Kaiba," Yugi said "the only way to find out is for us to play the game." He clicked the button to move past the main menu to show us the characters.

I was surprised it showed us 6 characters. The top two were darkened though.

"Which one I should pick Yugi?" I ask him.

Of course Seto didn't let Yugi reply as he took another controller and went to his seat.

"You're playing Seto?" I asked hopefully.

"If this game is decent at all, it can open another stream of revenue" Seto tells me. I just beam at him. I mean if he didn't want to play he could have watched. I just know not to say it out loud in front of Yugi. He does have an image he liked to keep.

I look through the characters and thought I should try one of the characters that is darkened. I grinned as I saw the name of the character, "Kisara "Blue-Eyes" Tozuku" I read out loud "oh, pilot and rascal."

Duke snorts "sounds like your dream girlfriend Kaiba." I bit my cheek to stop laughing at Seto's expression. It's no secret that his favorite card is Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The game made a beeping sound when I tried to select it. "That's a shame, it won't let me chose it." I grumble.

"Looks like the highlighted characters' are already chosen. Maybe a default setting like it adds to your party later in the game" Yugi suggests. "Look, there is another character that has a Duel Monster name in it. Amisi Hyozanryu, killer of men?" He reads out looking confused.

"Mine" I chirp out going to it. "Like I said before, I wouldn't turn down a character with my favorite Duel Monster. Although too bad the last female character is also taken. Mesi "Athena" Tozuku, fighter and mechanic sounds awesome." I turn to Yugi "why don't you choose your character?"

"Dr. Atem Sennen, archeologist and explorer" Yugi read.

"At least that is more informative then mine," I sweatdrop. "Wait does this mean my character is the enemy?"

"Well, we won't know if we try Jace" Yugi tells me smiling as he chooses his character.

"Seto?" I ask him only to see him go back to his laptop typing. "Uh, Seto?" I ask again confused.

He made a gesture pointing to the tv.

"Seth "Slim" Sennen" I read. "Not to mention a zoology expert which is awesome, this means your character would know of the Duel Monsters in the game." I chime. "Well there is one character left," I said hesitantly looking at Yugi for help.

Bless his soul, he knows I'm still very shy around Duke and gave me a hand.

"Come on Duke, it'll be fun," Yugi tells him.

Seto scoffed at Yugi's words. "He's just scared an old game would be too much to handle" he taunts.

Duke glared at Kaiba "you know what Kaiba, maybe I'm going to beat you in this game. Maybe you're the one who is going to be destroyed in this game." Of course he picks up the control and choses the remaining character. "I'll be Professor R. Otogi the Dragon genius."

The game chimed confirming the last character chosen and you heard Duel Monster animals make some animal noices. Then there was the sound of a British man saying "Welcome to Jumanji!"

Now I pressed the start button and suddenly the sounds of tribal drum began beating loudly and rhythmically as if someone was beating it at our side. We all jumped to our feet in alarm.

"TURN OFF THE SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM!" Duke yells.

"I DON'T HAVE ONE!" I yelled over the sound of the monkeys shrieking and the elephant giving a trumpet sound.

"What's happening!" Seto yells in demand.

I heard a vicious crackling sound of electricity and saw sparks flying from the console. "The game is shorting out!" I yell running to unplug it, only to be pulled back by Duke while Yugi unplugged it.

Yugi yanked the plug but to our surprise you could still hear the electricity crackling and suddenly the tv gave a flashing green glow of light startling all of us making us jump back.

I saw the game console begin to violently rattle but before I could warn Yugi to step back I saw his hands.

"Yugi! Your hands!" I yell as I saw his hands look as if it was becoming distorted, almost pixilated. If was as if he was made of sand and the wind started to blow him away.

"What's going on?" Seto demanded and I didn't know if he was just as bewildered as I was or terrified at what is happening.

"What's happening to you?" Duke yells in demand.

Yugi looked horrified as his arms was disintegrating into nothingness. "I don't know! I-" and he yelled as to my horror he disappeared like a cloud of sand and getting into the game console.

"Yugi!" we all shouted.

"Oh my god!" Duke yelled "we got to get out of here!" But when he tried to reach for my hand he passed it.

"Jacinta?" Seto turns to me.

"Oh-oh-oh..." I whimpered as I saw my hands beginning to disintegrate like Yugi.

I felt like something yanked me as I saw my body looked like it was being blown away like sand and all I saw was a flashing green light as I heard Duke and Seto yell for me.

Yugi's POV

It was at first nothing more than a bright green light flashing and suddenly I heard what seemed like a lion growling from behind me.

Branches of jungle leaves blocked my vision as I began to run forward trying to push the branches away trying to clear my path.

"Whoa!" I let a startled yell as I saw the floor ended and the bottom of my vision showed me the bird's eye view of a jungle.

It was like I was in slow motion as I fell on my feet kind of crouched.

I tried to catch my breath as I looked around me. Birds were chirping and well lots of animal noises I heard.

"Guys?" I called out to see if I find anyone else. But I froze at the sound of my voice.

"Why do I sound like this?" I ask myself, my voice had a deeper, stronger and well more confident tone then how I usually sound. I covered my hand on my mouth only to realize my skin had a dark tone skin like Jacinta well maybe slightly darker.

I saw a pond nearby and stumbled back when I saw my reflection.

My blond bangs are spiked up with the rest of my hair instead of framing my face. I seemed to have developed a more muscled tone; while I look lean I looked like I would be able to take anyone on a fight now. My eyes though there were a startling crimson red.

I was wearing a khaki linen short sleeve shirt with black punctured driving gloves on my hands. I had on olive green color cargo pants with front pockets with brown working boots with a lighter / yellowy brown triangle on the side and one of the two boots has a metal piece on the laces. Plus a big brown belt that had a knife attatched to it.

"What happened to us?" I ask myself only to see trees moving and a female and males yell as they were all thrown to the ground.

"Guys!" I ran to them only to see that I'm not the only one who looks different.
