Fortunately, the nameless is not falling, as it's not actually there, so it just watches curiously as everyone plummets to their doom.
Argh, I really want to do the trial of air, but I can't due to time so instead a passing fly slaps the Godmodder, distracting her for a later attack.
Slap applied, Godmodder distracted!
I simply summon a space sloop and started to point the spacy-warpy-timey harpoon guns that was mounted on the space sloop at the Godmodder. The pointing wasn't necessary as the spacy-warpy-timey parts of the harpoon tend to hit things at WHATEVERZZZZ level of speeds in whatever direction but pointing at the things you're going to shoot at is just politeness at that point you know?
Even if the harpoons misses the Godmodder, it will still hit something I would like dead anyways.
Mini-Sloop summoned! You attempt to shoot the Godmodder with a harpoon at Ludicrous Speed, only for your harpoon to turn into harmless pieces of fabric from the sheer stress it went through! Thin pieces of metal were never meant to experience Ludicrous Speed! The strips of fabric whizz narrowly past the Godmodder and puncture the warship, and go flying off into the Void, to seek whatever you want dead!
I produce a hovering plexiglass for everyone to land on that's also comfy for everyone involved,it is then enchanted to hold all of our weight and to stay hovering
Due to the sheer amount of people falling and impacting the plexiglass at the same time, it shatters in everyone who's falling's faces!
Ouch.
I come in from the Dimension of Blood portal and dramatically chestburster out of the godmodder by exploding in size to distract her, like one of those weird alien movies or those puppies from Fort Knox!
Since she's likely seen this before or might not have the portal open, I teleport out and spray silly string at her too so it's actually surprising.
Welcome Nedben! You burst out of the Blood Dimension and spray silly string on the Godmodder! She looks at you disapprovingly! It's really awkward, as you begin to fall into the hole because gravity's still a thing!
I then make the silly string wrap around the ankles and cause the Godmodder to Trip and fall into the hole
The silly string wraps around the Godmodder's ankles, but she doesn't trip because she's flying! The Silly String's also promptly disintegrates, as the Godmodder flares her aura.
The unseen force, lacking a body of any sorts, does not fall with the others. Despite being insured of its own safety, it still requires the others' presence, or, at least that is what the others feel this force is thinking. As such, it elects to give yet another layer of safe floor for everyone to land on.
Another set of meteors fly in. This specific set of meteors crash into the remnants of the million-meteors set. However, instead of leading to a more natural disarray of meteor bits floating aimlessly in space, the end result ends up being an admittedly-artificial-looking platform flat enough as to not cause easy bruises to anyone upon landing and close enough as so the fall itself isn't particularly harmful.
Platform made! The next two people who are falling that are posting will be have stable altitude!
I pause, falling but unconcerned, and a cyan platform appears at my feet, moving down slightly slower then me and so decelerating me gradually. once I reach a rough standstill , another several platforms appear, and I run from one to the next until I am almost directly bellow the Godmodder, and take out my radiation gun.
I point it at them, and fire.
what happens next?
well, I set the radiation gun to the far end of high-frequency light.
...far end meaning very high-frequency, not that the gun has a limit to its selection, of course. I control the radiation type with my mind, because any dial would have to be absurdly complicated and that still wouldn't account for Wacky radiation.
so, to explain what happens next, I need to explain something else.
Lightbulbs produce mostly visible light. how do they accomplish this?
the way I've heard it described is that different wavelengths of light need different amounts of energy, and visible frequencies need only like 3 units a photon, while the ultraviolet is a group that wants say... exactly 1,029 units, no more, no less. this means there's a Lot more energy at higher-frequency things.
now, i wasn't sure if i was right, so i checked, and based on "Hubblesite", "The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths."
So, I picked a very high-frequency (and so high-energy) radiation. but wait, shouldn't this mean I get less of the radiation, and so the same power?
nope! "for example, it is now imbued with the power to make at least 180,000,000,000,000,000,000* the minimum amount of that radiation per second (IE: 180,000,000,000,000,000,000 photons of visible light, which is what a lightbulb makes per second)". a single photon of super-high-frequency light is the minimum amount of it, so i still make at least 180,000,000,000,000,000,000 photons of this radiation a second, and so as long as I put the knob high enough, it will vastly increase energy of the beam.
Now, this beam is very focused, because with the small size of the wavelength, this is easy to do. as well, it is invisible, since this is not a visible frequency of light (those are blocked, aren't they?).
So it's like a very, very, very hot knife shooting out of my gun. if it hits the Godmodder, great, their body has now violently evaporated and/or spontaneously combusted and/or melted. if it doesn't, well, they sure have a lot of spaceship stuff to hit. let me just ratchet up the radiation frequency another 10,000 fold, then set the beam to wide angle and fire at the wall. I'm sure it all works wonderfully when its superheated, melting, and possibly also evaporating, on fire, or exploding! of course, if they just let my first beam hit them, I don't have to do that, and I even promise not to do it if they let my first beam hit them.
as for whether this destroys the gun, i thought of that; at most it'll trigger the 2-seconds-later-repair/return function which resets it to its prior state.
You are now not falling! The Godmodder lets the beam hit her, but as it does, it's refracted across the room, the energy dispersed everywhere!
I give the Godmodder a warm hug. Since she's flying, that means falling no longer happens! Yay!
Godmodder hugged! You are now not falling!
"Thanks, but no thanks."
You are now falling again! You fall onto the stable platform!
You are now not falling!
I take out my phone and call a hive-mind of flat-earthers. I talk for a few minutes, then hang up.
A few seconds later, a flat disk materializes beneath us. We all land on it.
The flat disk begins to accelerate upwards at 9.8 meters per second per second, simulating gravity.
As we ascend, picking up speed, we eventually slam into the Godmodder, who never fell to begin with.
Ascending platform made! The next person to perform their action will be on an ascending platform! However, the sudden acceleration in the opposite direction causes you to lose your balance, and as you reach back up to where the Godmodder is, she headbutts you, breaking down your section of the platform! You are now falling!
I pop my gun into my inventory,and proceed to cast a long-range scan, searching for powerful beings that are not players or the Godmodder, so I can steal their limbs. also, probably interfere with whatever bad stuff they're doing, since it's almost impossible for them to not be on the godmodders side.
The scan is cast by loudly declaring my intent, then waiting for the god of sidequests to suggest i go a specific way, then going that way.
"I Would like to find a powerful being that is not a player or the godmodder so I can steal their limbs! I'm going to float around aimlessly now."
I then float around aimlessly by creating another one of those cyan platforms, sitting down, and directing it to move in multiple directions.
You scan for the nearest locations of powerful beings, and you pick up nineteen such signatures, but they're all very far away!
By the way, there is no God of Sidequests here! There's only me!
I take out one of my more devious gadgets: the Incredible Shrinking Barrier, which is utterly indestructible and shrinks around its target until said target is crushed. Sounds great, right? So I use it on the Godmodder.
Unfortunately, it only exists for an instant ... the same instant as the Godmodder, moving forward in time to always surround her in the present, closing in with each passing moment.
The Godmodder is stronger than the barrier, and she punches right through it!
"Isn't that called the Phaedrus Maneuver, or something? Been a while since someone tried that on me!"
The guy asks if is this Minecraft.
What's Minecraft?
I summon an X-wing out of thin air, ram it into the Godmodder, then make an FTL jump for the nearest black hole and teleport out of the craft the instant before it does so.
What's an X-wing?
Anyhow, you create some sort of...four winged creature that can move faster than light? Possessing a common sense, it decides to not jump into the nearest Black Hole.
I pick up the tree and through it at the Godmodder at FTL: Faster Than Lighttm speeds. The ensuing legal battle distracts her just long enough that she fails to block the speeding wooden projectile.
The splinter she gets from it is kinda annoying, I guess.
The Godmodder dodges the tree, and throws the lawyers at FTL: Faster Than Light
tm speeds at
you!
"Your lawsuit, not mine."
While I drift along with my Space Sloop, I started gathering the firestorm that was formerly just SPACEEEEEE and proceed to gather it within the palm of my hand. From the far reaches of the Void, The fire caused by the Godmodder's initial strike was then controlled and zooms into my hand as I control it and make sure that it doesn't collide with several worlds and burn them in the migrating Void-wide Firestorm.
A couple of seconds has passed and the Void no longers has fire lighting it up and is back to its abysmal state. In fact, all the lighting is now stuck in my hand! While I'm curious about opening my hand just to see what I can do with all this energy, I simply pocketed my hand away in my robe, and see what the spacy-warpy-timey harpoon guns reeled in.
...How did you get outside of the ship? As you drag your hand across space, you realize that everything's on fire. It's just endless fire, everywhere. The background of the Void has been lit by this... orangeness. As you attempt to scoop up some of this ....voidfire, it
burns, with an intensity like nothing you've ever seen before, threatening to melt your hand. You drop the voidfire ember, letting it return to burning space.
You see this? This is what the Godmodder's capable of.
Reality is on fire.
Also, you reel in some voidfish. Not that they actually look like fish, but everyone seems to use sea terms, thinking the void is like the ocean. It's a totally stupid convention. Still, I hear voidfish is a delicacy. Have you had any before?
I cast Feather Fall to stop falling and start... feather falling.
You are now not falling!
I steal the Godmodder's flight for myself.
You steal the Godmodder's copy of
Flight!
"Hey, I liked that movie."
The nameless turns away from the screen showing various people falling or not falling, and looks at the doors surrounding it. There are four open, one in each of the "corners" of the temple. One is a windy grey, one a fiery red, one an earth brown and the last a watery blue. The nameless looks at them all, then moves towards the first one, walking across the featureless white bridge that leads to it, and fearlessly walking through the entryway.
The Trial of Air
"Air, the essence of freedom, of movement, and of breath."
The nameless falls. Soaring downwards through the air, it can feel the rush of wind on its "skin", pushing up against it. It doesn't know why but these circumstances worry it. Is it not supposed to be falling? Perhaps this is part of the trial, this falling sensation making it uncomfortable. Perhaps it needs to be accustomed to the falling? It doesn't really know, it has no information about said trials to go on.
It feels the air, it feels the ar swirling around outside of itself, it feels like... somehow it needs to not be outside of itself. Like the air is a part that's missing. But how? The nameless reaches out for the air, and feels something come closer. The answer maybe?
It continues to struggle, and to move, trying to pull it in closer, and reaches... upwards. Suddenly the air around it feels less harsh, less like a force pushing it downwards or upwards, but rather like a friend, lifting and pulling them along in the right direction. The fall becomes contained, measured, and freedom is achieved. The nameless feels the something come closer, closer... but it still can't quite reach it.
There's still something missing, a piece of it, that's close, but not quite there, something that makes them incomplete... how does it find it?
It heaves a not-sigh, and then breathe in.
And air fills its lung-analogues in glorious fulfillment. Air fills its lungs, and it understands, freedom, movement, and the power that comes from that.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Godmodder fills their lungs fill with air. They suddenly feel freer, more fluid in movement, able to move faster. As their lungs fill with more and more air, they feel that feeling grow stronger. They can do anything, unfettered by the chains of the ground, movement so smooth and so easy it hurts. No, that's not what hurts, where is that burning sensations coming from?
And then the growing air pressure in her lungs makes her chest explode.
The nameless awakens once more in the temple, and looks around, the three doors in the gallery above the door to the Trial of Air have opened. Interesting.
The Godmodder's anti-telefrag defenses activate, purging the foreign air out of her body, coalescing it into a sphere which hovers in front of her head.
"Interesting. Very Interesting. Whoever, you are, wherever you are, you've certainly gotten my attention."
So. I'm going to take a moment to talk to you right now. Are you aware of my presence? Could you give an indication of that, if possible? That would be good.
The guy does Orange Justice really badly.
The Godmodder gives an OK sign, and mutes you.
Itenary
Stop Falling!
Destroy The Godmodder!
Alright, I think some of you need to understand that you're falling. Y'know, the sensation of wind blowing past your faces? I know, it might be stressful, which is why you haven't fully comprehended the situation. So, I'm going to simplify this for you. There's four altitudes right now, going from 0 to 3. 0 is at the bottom of this shaft most of you are right now, the furthest you can possibly be from the Godmodder. 3 is where the godmodder is right now. If you're falling, you will decrease in altitude every round, as well as your chances of affecting the Godmodder. If you're flying, you will be increasing in altitude each round. That clear?
Start flying.
[GM] The Godmodder. 78/80 Hp. Altitude: 3, Flying!
[AG] TOG. Altitude: 2, Feather Falling, altitude stable.
[AG] Redstone. Altitude: 2, On Krill's Platform, altitude stable!
[AG] Crusher. Altitude: 2, Holding onto an X-Wing, Flying!
[AG] Paradox. Altitude: 2, Falling!
[AG] JOE. Altitude: 2! On Energy-Platform, altitude stable!
[AG] Piono. Altitude: UND, Is somewhere else!
[AG] Krill. Altitude: UND, Is a cosmic omnipresent force of some sort!
