Jumanji: Call to Adventure (Male Reader Insert)

Taken

Y/N pulled himself out of the river. It took him a moment to get his bearings straight. He felt water in his body as he tried to catch his breath. When things did clear up, they were not great. He could faintly hear fighting back up on the cliff above him. Looking down at his hand he saw he was still holding the Jaguar Jewel. 

Left with no other option, he trudged through the jungle away from the cliffside. It hurt him to leave Veronica, but he knew she was right. Y/N kept walking through the jungle when he heard a motorcycle approaching him. He quickly hid behind a lush bush. The motorcycle approached and stopped. The man riding it pulled out his radio and spoke to someone on the other end.

Thug: No sign of the other one. He must have fled into the jungle.

Radio: Well find him. We already have the girl.

Thug: The traitor?

Radio: Yeah. She put up one hell of a fight, but she's out cold. Jurgen will want to see her.

Thug: Think we'll get a raise for this?

Radio: We'll get executed in you don't find the boy or the jewel.

Thug: Alright, I hear you.

Y/N breathed out a sigh of relief. She was alive. He tried to sneak past the biker thug, but his foot snapped a large twig. The thug turned around towards his location.

Thug: I'll call you back. I think I've got something here.

Y/N knew he was spotted. The thug pulled out his rifle and began walking towards the bush. Left with no other option, Y/N jumped out of the bush, taking the thug by surprise. He grabbed the man's gun and they wrestled over it until it was thrown to the side. 

The two engaged in physical combat. Y/N tried to dodge the thug's punches, but he received a right hook to the jaw. He then felt his stomach cave in as he was punched there too. However, Y/N took his now lower position to his advantage. He swung around so that the weight of his heavy bag hit the man, knocking him to the side. Y/N quickly turned back around and tackled the man to the ground. He beat him with his fists until the man was out cold. 

Y/N breathed heavily, taking in what he just did. His hands were bruised and his lip was bleeding. Before he could truly take himself in though, he heard more motorbikes approaching. He hid back in the bush as the men approached. They found their unconscious friend on the ground.

Thug 1: Spread out! Find him! He can't have gotten far!

Thug 2: No need. 

Y/N wondered what they were talking about. Then he realized something. He reached into his bag and started to panic when he couldn't feel the item. He had dropped the jewel. One of the thugs picked it up off the ground and held it up.

Thug 2: We've got what we came for. Jurgen will be pleased. 

The bikers then left, leaving Y/N to think about what he just did. 

Nigel Billingsley was finishing working on the engine for his jeep. It needed some tuning and he planned on using it to possibly move to a new campsite if they needed to. He looked up from what he was doing and smiled upon seeing Y/N approaching from a nearby hill. His smile quickly faded when he saw Y/N was bruised and running. He stopped what he was doing and ran over to the young man.

Y/N: Nigel! Nigel! They took her!

Nigel: What?!

Y/N: They took Veronica and they got the jewel and they're heading back to Jurgen and it's all my fault!

Nigel: Kid, slow down. Tell me everything that happened. 

Y/N proceeded to tell Nigel the entire story. How Veronica was kidnapped and how he had lost the Jaguar Jewel. When he was done, Y/N slumped his head between his hands.

Y/N: This is all my fault. She was in that position because of me. I let her down and lost the jewel. Now, Jurgen is going to invade my world alongside many others.

Nigel: Kid, listen to me. I know this seems bleak, but we need to think about what we're going to do right now. What are you going to do?

Y/N was silent for a moment as he thought over his next move. He finally spoke up.

Y/N: I'm going to find Jurgen and rescue Vee. 

Nigel: Kid, are you sure about that?

Y/N: I have no other choice, Nigel! This man has tormented Jumanji for long enough. If I don't do something now then he'll do the same to my world. Not to mention what torment he could be inflicting on Vee!

Nigel: Kid, I'm all for that and I want to get her back just as much as you do. But you can't just face off against Jurgen. You need to be strong and a skilled fighter. There's a reason he's called "the Brutal". 

Y/N: Then we'll have to find someone who can help.

Nigel thought for a moment. He then turned to Y/N.

Nigel: I do know one man who could do it. He lives near the bazaar. But he's somewhat of a recluse. I don't know if he'll agree to it.

Y/N: We have to try anyway.
