Because you were too busy laughing and pointing at the now-nutless Deathwraith, you fail to notice the sub-dimensional tear in reality and run right into it. As a result, you end up in a strange realm where the sky is green and the clouds are black. The ground is the color of yellow-ish vomit, spongy, and probably alive.
You can't see too far ahead, because, despite it being daytime, there's a strange kind of darkness that always seems to remain in the distance. You can make out details that are close to your immediate area, but the farther away you get, the darker it gets. This is probably the result of the different laws of physics that this place has.
Occasionally, a loud "PHISSSSSSHHH!" sound can be heard in the distance. You don't know it yet, but that's the sound of the underground Moisture Absorbers firing their reproductive seeds into the sky, where they split into 2 separate beings: The nearly weightless Orbiter Larva, and the winged Flyers.
The Orbiter Larva will, as the name suggests, orbit the planet (or whatever this place is) until it grows large enough to combines with several other adult Orbiters to form an Orbiter Collective, which repair any damage to the atmosphere.
The Flyers land on young Z'rI'ggzths (which are born headless and with only part of a brain) and cocoon themselves to their necks. The Z'rI'ggzth uses the chemical reaction from the cocoon to morph into an adult, and the Flyer, having merged with the Z'rI'ggzth, sheds it's wings and becomes the creature’s head.
You see only bits and pieces of this and other parts of this ecosystem, and it confuses the hell out of you. Getting nervous, you walk quickly forward without knowing what you'll run into next. Looking overhead, you see something huge floating through the sky.
Whether it's an animal, plant, or some ungodly machine is impossible to tell. Whatever it's nature, it looks like the result of a one-night-stand between a flower and a jellyfish.
Deciding to get away from it as soon as possible, you rush away without looking, and end up falling into a huge hole with a shit-like texture (in contrast to it's bright orange color).
Falling for what seems like forever (yet with a sensation that feels like you're going up) you suddenly hit a soft gel at the bottom that somehow cushions your fall. Your panic subsides when you realize that you can still breathe in this stuff, and you sink slowly to the bottom. It’s almost as if relaxing made the gel move you.
Before you can ponder that thought for very long, you see a series of biomechanical tubes at the bottom that lead out into what looks like a gel-free hallway. Inside the tubes are gestating extraterrestrial fetuses. Specifically, the aliens I was in league with. You remember them, right?
The ones with heads like upside down pears, no mouths, 4 arms, shovel-like fingers, thin trails of hair-tentacles that trail into nothing, rows of nostrils on their backs, transparent skin, and goofy-looking chests? They’re just lifeless bodies for right now; their minds/souls/pilots are traveling faster than light to combine with them.
You see this combination happen, which sends a psychic shockwave through you that causes you to instantly develop 15 alternate personalities at once. As they try to repair you, (by transferring each new personality into it’s own cloned body. They’re into that sort of thing) they find the skull, which they wisely throw into a time portal. As it emerges in the present, I catch it with my stretchy arms.
MY SKULL!
