A world enchantment question? Neato.
Wind Drake says "Flying; This creature can't block creatures without flying." Of the attackers, only the Kithkin have flying.
Thus, Wind Drake can only block Order of the Golden Cricket.

As Feigel pointed out, Elven Riders have flying until Gravity Sphere comes down. Since you say that Wind Drake does still have flying, then Gravity Sphere must not be in play yet, and that means the Wind Drake can block the Riders as well.

Gravity Sphere removes Chaosphere. Now Wind Drake has no abilities. Order of the Golden Cricket will still get flying. Because Wind Drake is not a wall, it will only be able to block Gnat Alley Creeper.

This portion is clearly correct, the main trick being whether you notice and apply the World rule. Apparently you read all the cards this time, yay! I felt a little bad getting a point for non-regeneration on Porphyry Nodes, although that's obviously the reason I included a regenerator as one of the creatures.

VS will become an untapped morph creature enchanting Grizzly Bears (oh no!)
VS falls off, but remains in play. You can then use the morph ability.
Once VS is a copy of the Knight, Bears will be a 4/4 with no abilities.

Since the Licid-ability's continuous effect has not worn off (since you haven't paid to end it), VS remains a non-creature "Aura enchantment with enchant creature" the whole time, and doesn't fall off, although it stops granting haste when it turns face-down. It can be turned face up and gets the Knight's ability that pumps the Bears up to 4/4, but it is still attached as a non-creature Aura(!).

Incidentally, I once asked this question here at Rules Q&A (with different details), and there were zero replies. It just fell off the front page. I'd never seen that happen before on this board . Rather than bump it, I sent it to MTG-L where Jeff Jordan was happy to walk through it and point out the mistake I'd made. It was a real question, too, since I had a deck with both VS and Dominating Licid in it, and playing these shenanigans lets me attach the Licid straight from one creature to the next without having to end the effect and make it a (highly vulnerable) creature in between. You can read the post and reply at the MTG-L archives from August 19th-20th 2007 if you're interested.
