Warnings: None

"Level 9: Crossy road. Make it 30 steps."
"Sick. I'm the master at Crossy road, this should be easy." Lachlan beams.

We appear in a small grassy clearing, each turning into a white chicken. Ahead of us there is a road, colourful cars roaring past. There is also rivers and train tracks but they are past the road which is our priority at the moment. As the land starts to disappear behind us we hop onto the first section of road waiting for a red car to zoom by before hopping to the other side. 1, 2, 3.

Next is a fairly large stretch of road with train tracks behind it, trains whizzing by every so often. We look both ways before expertly dodging cars and trucks that honk and beep as the approach. And finally we come to the train tracks. But with a car coming from our right and the train speeding towards us we need to make a choice and fast.

"Go Lachlan!" I cluck, dashing across.

Lachlan follow quickly after and the train skims his tail feathers, causing shivers to go down my spine. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

Our next challenge is a raging river with logs floating either direction and varying in sizes. Once and a while a crocodile passes as well, moving peacefully along with the logs. Glancing into the rushing water below we wait for a log to come before hopping onto it. Surprisingly it's pretty stable. I lose my balance hopping onto the next log but luckily there is a small green turtle beside it which catches my fall and saves me from drowning. Lachlan is faced with a problem himself seeing the only thing he's able to jump on is a crocodile. I watch nervously as Lachlan wastes no time in jumping onto its back and then skipping over some logs to reach the other side. Picking myself up I follow suit. 11,12,13,14,15.

Three rail roads are now standing in front of our way and we watch carefully at the pattern of their passings. After the first one passes we jump onto its track not a second later and watch as the second and third trains pass by, their wind ruffling our feathers. We sprint onto the second track as the first train almost rams into us and wait for the third train to pass once more before hopping across another road with minimal difficulty. 16,17,18,19,20,21.

Now there is mostly trees which proves to be a nice break before a very short river which is very easy to maneuver across. 22,23,24,25.

And finally a five space road stretches before us. The cars even seem less packed here.

"Ready Vikk?" Lachlan clucks, strutting around on the spot.
"Yep and I shall give us the call to proceed..." I explain. Taking a deep breath in I lift my head to the sky, "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!"

And with that's we bound across the road safely landing on the other side. 26,27,28,29,30! The map is gone and hopefully for the last time we are back st the portal and looking on at the lights as the ninth one lights up.

"Ahhhh that's was easy. Even if there was a few close calls I quite enjoyed that." Lachlan signs in content, stretching.

I nod but I'm not really listening. My thoughts are more drawn to the last button and its lifeless lamp. And not in a good way either.

"Now I don't want to worry you Lachlan... But I'm suspecting something that might not mean good news for us."
"And what would that be?"
"We've gotten this far and now we are so close to reaching the end and returning to our world... And it hasn't been too hard either, only for particular levels like Tetris and things like that. But do you think... Do you think level ten is going to be super hard? Like... A boss level?"

Lachlan is now facing me silently. He's trying to hide a worried expression but he's not pulling it off very well. We stare at each other for a second, unseen thoughts passing between us. But after a moment Lachlan shrugs walking up beside me.

"Let's just get it done, alright?" Lachlan half-whispers, gently clicking in the last button and stepping through the portal.

Coming into the small netherrack room a second after him I take a second to read over the sign.

I was right.
