Nonexistence is...

So...

Well, it's not really anything...

The pain still flows through me, but I think I'm starting to get used to it. "Time likely doesn't exist here, so there's still a chance I could save all my friends!" My thoughts reverberate through my new crustaceous skull.

"Why did we think it was a good idea to challenge him? We didn't even catch a name!" I metaphorically smack myself on the head for our collective stupidity, somehow I thought Cipher had the right idea trying to challenge an Omni-dimensional demon worm.

"What was he even like.. rumored to be called? Paco I think?" I barely muster what feels like a chuckle when I realize that my pain is gone and I'm in the cold void of space.

"How am I even alive right now? Doesn't space lack oxygen? Maybe it's more of A space than THE space?" My thoughts seem useless as I try to spin around and gain any form of bearings.

All of a sudden, I feel a tugging at my bottom. And then I feel hotter. So hot. I feel like I'm incinerating. Then I glance around me to realize...

"I'M ON FIRE!"

I scream out to nobody. I scramble around, fruitlessly trying to pat myself out. Then I realize I've picked up more speed.

"Am I being sucked into something's gravitational pull??" I try to cry as the pain envelops me again, but tears can't even form with how hot I've become. I pass by what seems to be a flashing sign that I can't quite read. All I could make out was something about Aqua.

"Aqua... like water right??" I frantically shuffle trying to figure out where the sweet release of water would be, as a large planet befalls my eyes. It's a glorious, shining cobalt blue with patches of green and grey.

"WATER! GRANT ME THE SWEET RELEASE OF COOLING! PLEASE" I may as well be weeping with the tears I would be making. It's taking everything within me to not pass out and likely never wake up.

My speed increases further and I get hotter as the thought comes to me that I'm not gonna land on water. I make my best effort to shimmy over to the ocean beckoning my name...

"Wait... what IS my name?"

The realization strikes that I've forgotten who I am in the time I've transformed. I don't even remember who the friends I was supposed to save were. All I can think of is a searing hatred of Paco. I feel my insides boil as I try to brace myself for whatever kind of impact I could face. As I focus on not being harmed, I fall out of consciousness from the sheer overwhelming pain.
