The two freeze from the voice. They both look up, and see Van Pelt coming into the room. He's all covered in paint. 

Van Pelt: Stand up. 

They both slowly stand up while Alan is still holding the dice in his hand. 

Van Pelt: (To Alan) What's in your hand? Drop it. 

Alan and Sora look at his hand, and smirk a little. They both chuckle as Alan opens his hand, dropping the dice. One of the dice lands on the game, and landing on a one. The other dice rolls on the floor and falls through a hole. The two watch it disappear into the darkness. They both groan in defeat and look at the hunter. 

Van Pelt: End of the line, Sonny Jim and Keyblade Wielder. Game's up. Start running. 

Just then, Sarah, Kairi, Riku, Donald, Goofy and Roxas comes into the room. Roxas is holding Namine in his arms. Donald heals her one more time, and she's feeling a little better. They all see Van Pelt in the room too. Alan and Sora look at him, and stand their ground. 

Both: No. 

Van Pelt: (Raises an eyebrow) Aren't you both afraid?

Sora: I'm scared, but there's no courage without fear. 

Alan: I'm terrified. But my father told me...you should always face what you're afraid of. 

Van Pelt laughs at this as the others watch this. 

Van Pelt: Good lads. You're finally acting like men. (Points his gun at them) Any last words?

Unknown by everyone, the dice that fell through the hole rolls down into the basement, and continues rolling through the floor. It begins to slow down, and before it could go over the edge, it stops...and lands on a two. Alan suddenly feels something, and he looks down. Sora looks down too, and to their surprise and hidden joy, Alan's elephant token moves three spaces, and it reaches the end. In the black spot, the name of the game appears in it. Alan remembers what to say as he looks at Van Pelt.

Alan: (Whispers) Jumanji. 

Van Pelt: (Confused) Huh?

Alan: Jumanji. 

Sora: It means we win, and you lose. 

Van Pelt looks at them, and cocks his weapon. Sarah and Kairi run to the boys. 

Sarah: No, Alan, no!

Kairi: Sora! 

Sora: Kairi, no!

The two girls scream as they stand in front of the boys and the boys hold them to the side as Van Pelt aims for Alan and fires. Everyone closes their eyes, waiting for it to end. But...they don't feel any pain. They open their eyes, and to their shock, they see the bullet has stopped, and it's evaporating, like what happened to Alan, Sora, Donald and Goofy. They all look at Van Pelt, and see his gun is evaporating too. He watches as his gun disappears from his hands. The others come into the room. 

Riku: What's going on? 

Before anyone could ask, something crashes through one of the windows. Everyone screams as they shield themselves. They all look and the monkey coming through the window, and then something smashes through the wall of the house. It's the rhinos, zebras, and elephants. They're all being pulled in by something. Van Pelt watches in shock as he looks back and forth. The animals are in the ceiling, spinning around. Then, the lion, crocs, bats, insects, pelicans and pod joins them in the spinning. Van Pelt grunts, and then gets pulled into the air with the animals. He starts screaming as a mist forms around the animals, and makes a vortex. The vortex is forming into the middle of the game. The animals are now being sucked into the game. Alan and Sarah hug each other as Sora and his friends group hug each other tightly. They still hear the screaming, roaring and noises from the animals and Van Pelt as they close their eyes. Alan and Sora peak their eyes at the game, and they see Van Pelt's head stuck in the middle of the game, screaming. Then, the game pulls his head in. The green light in the black spot glows, and fades away as thunder crashes. Everyone still has their eyes close. Then, it's all quiet. Sora and his friends end the hug, and open their eyes. To their shock and surprise, Alan and Sarah are young kids again. 

Sora: Alan. Sarah. Open your eyes. 

The two end their hug and open their eyes. They too are shocked to see themselves as kids again. They look at each other, and hug each other again. Sora and the others get up and look around. Everything is all fixed, like it never happened. Sora slowly smiles widely. He runs to Alan, and grabs him.

Sora: Alan, you did it! 

Kairi: Yeah, you did it, Alan! You won the game!

Alan: No, we did! All of us! 

Donald jumps at Alan, and hugs him tight. Goofy then runs up to them, and lifts them both up while hugging them, and doing his usual laugh. Everyone laughs. 

Riku: Well done, Alan. 

Goofy: (Puts them down) But wait. If we're back in 1969...(Looks at Alan) then that must means...

Just then, everyone hears the front door opening. They all look, and to Alan's happiness and joy, he sees his father alive. He walks by the living room.

Mr. Parrish: I forgot my speech notes.

He walks to where he left his notes. Alan runs to him, and hugs him tight. 

Alan: Dad, I'm so glad you're back. 

Mr. Parrish: I've only been gone five minutes. 

Alan: (Smiles, sniffs) It seems like a lot longer to me. 

Mr. Parrish: (Looks at him) I thought you told me you were never going to talk to me again. 

Alan: (Looks at him, tearing up) Whatever I said, dad, I'm sorry. 

Mr. Parrish: (Hugs him) Look, Alan, I was angry. I'm sorry too, son. 

Everyone watches from the living room. Goofy begins to tear up a little, as it reminds him of his son. 

Mr. Parrish: Look, you don't have to go to Cliffside, if you don't want to. 

He looks, and see the others in the living room, who is watching the sight. They all smile, and wave at him, and also standing back, giving them their father and son moment. Alan's father whispers to him about something. They both smile at each other. 

Mr. Parrish: Hey, I've gotta get going. I'm the guest of honor. 

He walks to the front door to leave, and Alan talks to him about something else.

Alan: Dad? Back in 196--I mean, today in the factory...it wasn't Carl Bentley's fault. I put the shoe on the convener belt. 

Mr. Parrish: (Looks at him) I'm glad you told me, son. Thanks. 

Alan: Bye, dad. 

Mr. Parrish: Goodbye. 

His father leaves the house to go to the factory. Alan sniffs, and wipes his eyes as he walks back into the living room. 

Roxas: Well, that went well. 

Namine: Yeah. At last, it's all over now. 

Sora: I'm glad we all made it. 

Kairi: Wait. Aren't we forgetting about someone else?

Alan: (Looks at them, then remembers) Holy smokes! Judy and Peter! 

Donald: Let's go check on them! 

Sarah: (Stops them) Guys. 

They all look at Sarah, who gives them a sad smile and look. 

Sarah: They're not there. It's 1969. They don't even exist yet. 

Sarah hands Alan the monkey and crocodile tokens. He looks at her, and at the tokens that were Judy and Peter's. Everyone looks at the tokens. They won the game, but now, they won't be able to see their other friends again for a long time. 

Here is the 14th chapter of Kingdom Hearts: Jumanji. Just one or two more chapters of this, and it will all be done. Review, comment and vote for this chapter. And after this story, I'll probably continue my resident evil and Naruto story again, or do another Kingdom Hearts journey. I'll let you all know.
