When the lights came on again, the area had changed to the next round. When the group looked at their new surroundings, Xid groaned with disappointment. They stood on a platform that faced a large converter belt moving against them, with the finish line just beyond. Seems easy, however on the sides were cannons ready to fire at the players.

"Fruit Chute," realized Cat, with Ryan nodding in agreement.

"It could be worse, sis," said Mace trying to encourage his sister, "It could be Slime Climb, you've never won at that before."

"Please don't give the creepy robot any ideas," Xid sighed.

"Alright, guys remember to pick a corner and hope you don't get hit by fruit," explained Shy. The group nodded as they picked their corners as the robot counted down. Ryan and Xid picked the left side, while Shy, Cat, and Mace went for the right.

Go!

The group jumped on to the conveyor belt below and began to run against the belt. Then the cannons began to fire fruit into the air, making the fruit tumble down the belt. Oranges and apples rolled down towards them, knocking out any players in their path. Since the group had known the sides of the belt were the safest, they had made it pretty far up the belt. Mace and Shy had already made it to the finish line. Cat was close, but she was hit by a blueberry making her trip a moment, but she was able to pick herself up to reach the finish line. Meanwhile, Ryan and Xid were struggling to dodge the fruit and keep their pace towards the finish.

Ryan looked up ahead to see the finish line in reach, he turned his head to call out to Xid, "We're almost there Xid, come on!"

Xid's smile was brief as she noticed something ahead, "Ry, look out!"

Ryan returned his attention in front of him, as a banana was heading right for them, "Not good!"

Ryan then felt a push, from behind him, allowing Ryan to cross the finish line, "I made it?"

"XID!" screamed Mace, as Ryan looked back to see Xid getting hit by the banana as the last person crossed the finish line before the lights went dark.

Congrats to the 30 of 41 who made it to the third round. Be warned that it will get much more difficult as the levels progress.
