There is no way to apply force in the vertical axis without a rudder. I still do not get it.

You can use a combination of spoilers and ailerons/flappers a. The B-2 and UCAV vehicles are already doing it. It does require fly by wire to convert the pilots desired inputs into appropriate control inputs. Even with no pilot inputs, the flight control system will be constantly working to keep the aircraft flying straight.
