I can have a Dan-Ball story too! This will be a huge and overarching story ;D With many story arcs.
Beyond the 6th
Part 2: Liquid Webtoy
Chapter 5: Water.
After I woke up, but before I regained vision, I felt something under me fall apart, and I felt unbelievable pain. THe pain jolted my eyes opem, and I saw my rocket's wreck fall apart. I was on one of the pieces, but it was sinking rapidly and I tried to move my arm to get in a floating position. The return of pain made me plain fall off of the piece, causing yet more pain. In a moment of desperation I realized four things: My limbs were broken, I was slipping into a weird square-y water that I was likely going to drown in, I had no idea where I was (it certainly wasn't the place that I know), and I was alone. I proceeded tp try to thrash my way up, but before I even moved a second time, an unbearable grinding pain made me both scream underwater, taking a gulp of water in the process, and almost pass out. I couldn't try that again, I knew I was going to die... Life was good while I knew it... I'd begun my silent self-eulogy when I felt myself lowering... I came to rest unfortunately rather roughly on a gray wall of some kind with no water to shield my impact, the impact moving my broken limbs and causing me to well and truly black out.
When I woke again a short while later, I coughed up strange... bits of water and simply lay there for a while. Water was raining down from a point above and filling the area below me, and I watched with interest. IT seemed some point in the sky rained down liquids from above, and I could indeed detect a strange ripple in the area. Unable to move, I looked on as the ripple moved, creating ice at the top and some glowing stationary thing at the top, causing the water to evaporate and turn into gas, hitting the ice and condensing back into water, hitting the glowing thing in a cycle tht was rather mesmerizing.
Beyond the 6th
Part 1: Rockets
Chapter 1: The Final Exam
Hello! I'm Jonathan the (hopefully) future pilot of the Rocket!
I'm in the last grade of pilot school, and I've been doing well in my classes, and now it's time for my final exam! I'll be flying a simulation rocket, and I'll have to run a simulation of a randomly generated Level. And the difficulty of the simulator, which is always available, will be set to test dificulty, the one difficulty, above hard, that is not publicly available.
I've been practicing for hours on hard, day after day, so I have a little experience with the simulation, but, as I mentioned before, they use a special super-hard difficulty. As the line to the exams slowly whittled down, it was just me and my friend Alice. I wished her luck as she entered the simulator room. About ten minutes later, she came out with a grin a mile wide. She said she'd won. I said that that was awesome, and we conversed for a bit before my name was called, and I entered the room.
My legs started shaking and I started to sweat. I had to calm myself and wipe my sweat off with my sleeve before I got into the simulator while the exam master set it up. He started the program and began watching me...
I grabbed the controls and immediately shot off. I entered a cloud of brown with a path of yellow, and I did my best to stay on the yellow path, although I hit a few browns. I left the cloud of browns and move into a straightaway where I accelerated. Suddenly there was a green wall, and I turned hard. the simulator twisted to accomodate this, and sidewaays, I jerked back up, and slightly dizzy, I managed to regain my path, up to the goal.
When the simulation ended, I looked questioningly at the exam master. He said I passed. I yelled yes, and ran to the door. Alice was still there waiting to hear the status. I told her I'd passed!
Later, at the graduation, I noticed that we must be organized by the order of the line, because Alice was right to my left during the ceremony. There was a disproportionately small number of passers compared to the huge line I'd had to wait for hours in. I guess the exam was just too hard for some.
After the ceremony, I ran straight to the area where new pilots go and yelled "YYYYEEEEESSSS!!!!" to the sky. I heard a few of the old, grizzled pilots mutter "Newbie," but I was satisfied. Time to begin my career.
Chapter 2: The First Flight
Now that I was a pilot, I was directed to my rocket. It was beautiful, but something was missing. I grabbed a paintbursh from a nearby can of orange paint, and painted an orange stripe down the middle. There. Now THAT is good.
I got in my rocket and headed off for Level 1. It wasn't much of a problem, and the simulation I'd done for my test was much harder than it. I easily dodged the green and brown blocks, ran through the yellow ones, and made it to the goal.
I then entered Level 2, which was a huge cloud of brown blocks with a thick path through it I easily followed. When it started to dissipate, I hit the yellow blocks, and then went down a long tube of yellow blocks, shooting me up another brown cloud, and a maze of brown-covered wall, which I still maneuvered through, to the goal.
Level 3 was fairly easy too, and before I knew it, I'd passed the first three levels, and ground was nowhere in sight.
Chapter 3: Beyond the 6th:
I flew through the 4th level, looking at the sea below me. I saw an unfortunate pilot crash, but I just kept flying. during the 5th level, I came dangerously close to hitting a wall and exploding, and I spun out when I avoied it.
It was harder than the test, but yet I flew through. Level 6 pushed my limits as a pilot to the max, and I just barely made it through. My rocket was slightly dented from a few light touches against some green blocks.
At the end, I was tired and bruised, and I plowed straight into the slightly darker green blocks at the end of the level. When I realized what was happening, I started yelling, knowing that I was about to die. I closd my eyes. I felt a jolt as my rocket hit the wall.
However, I felt no fireball. Did I die painlessly? Am I in heaven right now? I hesitantly opened my eyes, afraid of what I might see. the view screen showing my rocket's condition indicated my rocket was exactly as before. Strange. I looked up. The darker green- wait a minute.
Darker green? Weird. I guess I can't be harmed by dark green blocks. Then I noticed the blocks I'd hit were cracked. Severely. Curious, I backed up, hit the throttle, and rammed throug the blocks. They shattered. As did all the other dark green blocks connected to it, which seemed to stretch out forever.
Revealed was a seventh level... in blackness. With shining white points. I'd only ever seen this once before. A painting made by the famous rocket pilot Keith Farlan. (Who I knew well)
In fact, he was the first ever rocket pilot to finish Level 6. He was a little eccentric, and he said the sight stayed in his mind and wouldn't come out. He constantly painted painting and painting showing this... blackness with white dots. Noone believed him. They said the sky was green blocks. Noone questioned that. After all, when they looked up, it's what they saw. He was a raving lunatic, insane, a charlatan and a liar, they called him.
He also painted what appeared to be a cracked dark green block. Some pilots recgonized the block, they'd later went up to the top of the 6th level, but the thought that a green block could be cracked? Idiotry! Ridiculous nonsense! What a liar, he lies about some black void in the sky, and now THIS? Idiot! Charlatan! Liar!
Heh, well I guess it was true after all. I continued into the strange void. Past the 6th level. eyond the 6th. Such a strange, strange world it is, after all.
Chapter 4: In The Void
I stared at the undescribably dark void for a while before looking forward. It looked... like a flyable path! He briefly considered the craziness of where he WAS right now. I mean, noone thought this place actually EXISTED! Maybe I should turn back. But no, I thought, it's what I trained to do, and I'll dang well do it. The run was insanely hard, although since the blocks were all darker green, I wouldn't get injured. I saw a... purple colored block. I slowly flew into it, curiously. The INSANE level of thrust threw me out of control and bounced me through much of the level. I wasn't harmed thanks to the dark green blocks.
After much flying, I got the hang of controlling the thrust gained from the purple blocks. I flew for while, and saw a wall of blocks. There were some purple blocks before it. Obviously it was the end of this level and the way to the next. I went through the purple blocks and into the dark gree- Wait a minute. Those aren't dark green blocks. Becoming more horrified every seond, my final thought came up: Green blocks. Collision. Turn away- My ship's inertia smashed it by the side into the blocks. I was flung out into the vacuum of space, and I blacked out...
