//------------------------------// // Round 2: Roll On // Story: If Rainbow Dash was in... FALL GUYS // by RushingWind-01 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash stood at another starting line of another track. With her, the 43 Fall Guys that qualified with her. She couldn't help but notice that the Fall Guys made strange sounds. Mostly something like Whoos, from what Rainbow could tell. But she didn't have time to put up with this - the next race was about to begin, so she took a launching stance and waited for the designated signal to start. 3... 2... 1... GO! Rainbow Dash ran forward when she heard the announcer say go. But then, she noticed that this track looked way deadlier than before. Platforms kept rolling, unveiling some gaps to fall through, and filled to the brim with obstacles. Falling down means a massive loss of time, and therefore a lower chance to qualify. Rainbow Dash didn't think, but she kept running forward, always wary of potential holes that she could fall through. However, so many Fall Guys were on the same position with her, and they kept getting into each other's way, deliberately knocking them off the track. "This is so... intense. Why are we all on one track when we get into each other's way that much?", Rainbow Dash thought. Rainbow Dash got through the first sector, which was fairly easy, but the second one was harder. It was a longer distance to cover, and there were more holes and obstacles. Rainbow Dash closely looked at the rolling floor, with a sharp look at the upcoming obstacles. That way, she was able to get through the second sector no problem. The third sector was where things got stupid. Now she needed to move down, and the floor to run on was more narrow than before. And the rolling floor was filled even more to the brim with holes and obstacles, so Rainbow needed to look out and observe the obstacles carefully. Some Fall Guys even fell down, but they came back at a reset point prior to Sector 3. Rainbow got the third sector down on the first attempt and was following six Fall Guys, who were in front of her. Now came the last part, which was moving between rolling floors going in the opposite way. It was way easier than it looked, and after that, it came down to the last jump on a pink platform. The Fall Guys and Rainbow Dash got it down on the first shot, and they ended up being the first seven to reach the finish. "Haha, nice! You all did good! Seems like you already knew the track, right?", Rainbow said. A Fall Guy answered with an excited "Whoohoo!". Rainbow didn't know what it meant, but she could tell he was happy. The crowd filled up, and when 32 contestants reached the finish, the remaining twelve stood still and hanged their head down. "Aw, come on! You guys did well too!", Rainbow Dash said, having a bit of sympathy to the ones that didn't finish. Drones appeared and took the remaining ones away. "12 contestants ELIMINATED. 32 QUALIFIED!" Rainbow Dash was very close to being in the upper half for sure, but she still was unsure about what happened with the ones that already got eliminated. But she rather didn't want to think about it. All that mattered for her was that she was in the next round, no matter what.
