Octopus Man looked at The Number 7, studying it for a while. "So, what exactly is so important about this number?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked, stepping closer to Octopus Man.
"This number survived having its past erased, so it must have some sort of ability that is beyond ours." Octopus Man replied.
"So, what exactly is it going to do for us?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked. "Dunno. But maybe I can eat it and gain its powers like I did with Catalina." Octopus Man responded.
Nalay walked up and said, "I doubt that would work." Octopus Man looked forward at Cutecumber who threw her cucumber sword at the tower, but it just bounced off and fell down the endless abyss below them. "Well, we are pretty useless here, so anything's worth a try." Octopus Man replied.
Cutecumber was crying on the ground. "MY CUCUMBER SWORD!" she yelled. Octopus Man quickly got up and once again used telekinesis to bring the sword back up.
"Here you go." he said, handing her back the sword. "YAY!" Cucumber shouted, holding her sword up in happiness.
The tower then opened more windows and started releasing little critters that were quite aggressive. "CREATURES ARE COMING!" Boomerang screamed.
"Will you stop screaming please." Lusha said, turning to Boomerang. "Sorry." he replied sadly.
Floran, using her upgrades, jumped from the platform. Her jump caused a shockwave to ripple through the world, and the group covered their faces from it.
"Where is she going?" Emberlyn asked. "To kill the critters duh." Nalay stated.
Floran flew up with her wings, and casually struck down each critter that dared to attack her. There seemed to be thousands of these critters, but Floran flew to each one, killing them all.
The group looked up to see Floran moving. She was so fast it appeared as if she was only light, zooming around, striking down the critters.
"NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ME?" Mr. Fluffypants cried, shaking in fear. Rit scoffed before replying, "So what if she's strong. She probably has forgotten about you by now."
After killing all of the critters, Floran turned her gaze to Mr. Fluffypants. A murderous glint was in her eyes. Without another second passing by, Floran flew over to him at faster than light speed.
Mr. Fluffypants screamed in pure terror. Rit narrowed her gaze and attempted to block Floran with her sword, but Floran easily broke through the sword, causing it to shatter.
It was if time was slowed down. Rit saw her sword be demolished in an instant by the golden-eyed angel. Floran then gracefully stepped on the platform and manifested an energy sword. Just like her hair, eyes, and halo, it was now golden. She then pointed it towards Mr. Fluffypants.
Mr. Fluffypants couldn't speak anymore. He was so scared that his mind was essentially turned to mush.
"FLORAN! DON'T BE A MEANY BO BEANIE!" Kookakoo yelled. In this form, Floran was beyond reason. She plunged her sword forward, and Mr. Fluffypants covered his face, but to his surprise, he was not killed. He lowered his arms to see that Floran frozen in place.
Rit had her hand on Floran's back and was using all of her power to freeze Floran in place. Despite the immense power, Floran began radiating a heat that quickly melted the ice around her.
Floran then turned around, and punched Rit backwards, causing her to stumble backwards and fall down. "Damn you!" Rit mumbled.
Floran turned her attention back to Mr. Fluffypants who gasped in shock.
"Come on Flory, stop being like this." Nalay, who was somehow on the platform, said. "HOW ARE PEOPLE GETTING TO THIS PLATFORM?" Rit shouted.
Floran glared at Nalay, lowering her sword. She then spoke for the first time after entering this form. "What do you want?" she asked in a cold tone.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"To focus on the tower instead of this guy who is so scared he is pissing in his pants." Nalay replied. "It's not just about him. It's about what he represents. He is the prime example of how this story is being controlled." Floran retorted.
"Oh, here we go again." Nalay said rolling her eyes. "IT'S TRUE!" Floran shouted. Nalay looked at Floran, putting her hands on her hips. "What do you even mean?" she asked, now sounding serious for once.
"The Triune have no control over what happens. They say they do, but they don't." Floran stated.
"Who cares? Enough about your ramblings. And hell, even if they aren't in control, they are still evil, and you have been trying to defeat them this entire time. Make up your damn mind!" Nalay said.
"Oh look. Nalay is getting all serious for once." Floran mocked. "I've been trying to lighten the mood, but it seems like you're just a jerk no matter what." Nalay responded, pointing at Floran angrily.
"AND YOU ARE NOTHING BUT AN ASSHOLE WHO WON'T LISTEN!" Floran screamed. Her golden aura was weakening. Nalay shrugged and said, "Then die I guess. You aren't going to beat the Triune anymore. Cool. Your funeral."
Floran grabbed Nalay by the neck and said, "Don't make me out to be the bad guy. I've been nothing but a lawfully good Mary Sue this entire time, and you blame it all on ME? THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TRIED!" Floran yelled, screaming into Nalay's face.
Nalay was silent, not saying anything in response. Floran let go of her neck and scoffed. "That's what I thought." she mumbled.
"What are those two arguing about over there?" Kookakoo asked, pointing to the third platform. "Probably nothing important." Octopus Man answered.
Lusha looked at 7 and said, "So what about this number again? Can't we harness its power or something?"
"Why are they so focused on that number over there?" the yellow figure asked. "Probably because it survived a really powerful attack of ours. They probably think it can destroy the tower." the blue figure replied. "Can it?" the green figure asked. "Maybe." the blue figure responded. "YIKES!" the green figure exclaimed.
Octopus Man started smelling 7 and said, "Maybe if I smell him, his aroma will give me power."
"Didn't you say you'd just eat him?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked. "Oh yeah!" Octopus Man replied, chomping down on 7, only to have all of his teeth shatter.
Kookakoo gasped and laid Octopus Man down on the ground. "Don't worry, I have teeth seeds." she stated, ripping open a packet of seeds. She poured them into his mouth and got a watering can, and started pouring water in his mouth.
Octopus Man's teeth quickly regrew. He stood up and said, "See Cutecumber, you need to be useful like Kookakoo."
"What the hell did I do?" Cutecumber asked, throwing her arms up defensively.
"Maybe smelling was the right approach after all." Boomerang stated. Octopus Man nodded and continued smelling 7. "That's not going to work." Brazilian Bug Boy stated, rolling his eyes.
"NO WAIT! I'M GETTING SOMETHING!" Octopus Man shouted. The smell of 7 caused his body to tingle. "I feel tingly. Like my entire body is metamorphosizing."
Kookakoo's eyes sparkled in awe. "HE'S CHANGING!" she exclaimed.
Octopus Man started glowing with power. "ANOTHER FUSION?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked.
When the glow dissipated and the dust settled, a brand-new figure walked out. It was an ordinary woman with long black hair. "HE TURNED INTO A WOMAN!" the group shouted.
Floran and Nalay heard the group on the other platform and looked over. Floran grew wings and flew back over. "What the hell is going on over here?" she asked bluntly.
"Octopus Man turned into a woman." Lusha replied calmly.
"HUH?" Floran shouted. "Yes. I am Woman. A fusion of Octopus Man, and The Number 7's scent." Woman stated.
"This is just ridiculous." Floran said, rubbing her forehead in frustration. "Some tomfoolery is afoot." Cutecumber stated.
On the third platform, Nalay stayed there and sighed. "Floran is going crazy, and she won't admit it." she mumbled.
Rit stood up and said, "She is right." Nalay looked at Rit in confusion and said, "She tried to kill you. How is she right?"
"Someone is controlling this world. As much as I hate using Mr. Fluffypants to vouch for me, he can attest to that." Rit explained.
Mr. Fluffypants nodded nervously. "Y...yeah. There was a weird rift when we made our way here, and we were stuck in a bunch of worlds that were attempting to prolong the story." he stated.
Nalay looked a bit skeptical. She didn't know what to believe at this point.
"Hey Floran, your glow is decreasing." Emberlyn stated. Floran looked at her hair, it was returning back to pink, as did her eyes. Her halo also had disappeared. "Dammit." she mumbled under her breath.
"FRET NOT FOR I, WOMAN, WILL SAVE THE DAY!" Woman shouted, her hair now glowing with a rainbow color.
"How so?" Lusha asked, her hands in her pockets. "Like this." Woman replied, reaching her arms out. "SPECIAL ABILITY: VORPEX!" she shouted.
The tower began crumbling down, level by level. The group's eyes widened in a mix of surprise and shock.
The Triune was flabbergasted. "WHAT? HOW?" the yellow figure shouted. "That number has enough power to bypass the effects of the entire tower." the blue figure exclaimed.
"BUT WHY?" the yellow figure asked, wondering how a mere number could survive such a powerful ability. "Who knows." the blue figure replied calmly.
Woman lowered her arm and said, "See. I am omnipotent in this form. I can do anything!"
"SIGN MY AUTOGRAPH!" Cutecumber said, holding up a pen and paper. "How dare you want an autograph from a random fusion, but not the real Octopus Man. You have no respect." Kookakoo scolded.
Floran shook her head before saying, "I'm just going to see where this goes. I don't care anymore."
