《Wholly Undead》Chapter 217: He is the Key, the Gate, and the Guardian
Advertisement
Jack looked around and finally nodded.
Asstur's hooded figure seemed to quiver watching Jack nodded as if expecting him to say yes.
"You sure are interested in this dark young. I would love to know what makes her so special that you are willing to fork out this much." Jack continued to speak, "but thankfully... This is given me just enough time to finish my incantation."
Jack raised his right hand into the air, "He knows the gate..."
"...What?"
"HE IS THE GATE!"
"Wait..."
"HE IS THE KEY AND THE GUARDIAN OF THE GATE!"
"NO!"
"PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE! ALL ARE ONE IN YOG-SOTHOTH!"
"FUCK NO! DON'T CALL HIM HERE!" Asstur fanned his robed arm, as a force slammed into Jack sending him flipping through the archway of Carcosa and collapsing a tower into rubble.
Jack pushed a large stone slab that fell on him out of the way, as he murmured with a chuckle, "NOG FOTH YOG-SOTHOTH! M'GAHNNN SHUGGNGLUI!!!"
"Damn you..." Asstur who was going to continue his attack touched back down on the ground.
ˣˣSo, this is where you wereˣˣ Yoggi's voice echoed and reverberated within the realm.
Jack looked up to see one of the moons that hung over Carcosa split a slit within the moon. Soon purple liquid dripped from the slit that seemed to be carved into the surface of the moon, as the gash tore apart to reveal a large vertical pupil that looked down as if the moon was an eye, the eye of Yog-Sothoth.
"No one called you here!" Asstur pointed into the air with his crusted yellow finger.
ˣˣOh? It's not like I want to come to this cesspool you call home, but it seems that I'm needed.ˣˣ Yoggi continued
"We haven't had a good fight in a while! Get down here and talk shit to my face or are you afraid that I might take Shubby as my own!" Asstur spoke, as the yellow film on his body dissolved. His form liquified and splashed onto the ground of Carcosa.

Jack knowing his job was done, flew from the rubble while holding his left should that ached. He flew away to watch from the sidelines the show he put together.
Now at a safe distance, Jack took notice that the towers of Carcosa twisted in their blond images, as they began to rise from the ground as if pushed upward into the sky. These towers then began to bend and curl.
He could see the towers of Carcosa that rose up and flexed. It was at this moment Jack realized the towers of Carcosa were the fingers of Hastur, as the ground shifted and moved with a robe-like feeling. the putrid lake rose up and revealed itself to be the pallid mask of the unspeakable one as the yellow hood of Hastur soon formed from the land of Carcosa itself that became the body of the Yellow King, as the Yellow King born from the ground finally rose into the sky in all his colossal might. His robes made of the very lands of Carcosa, and the towers his fingers and the plazas his palms, with the putrid yellow lake as his Mask within his hood that was made of the prairies.
ˣˣI'm conducting business here! Get out!ˣˣ Roared Asstur as he assumed what Jack figured was either his true form or some exotic proxy.
ˣˣBut you've been building a clubhouse this hol' time, and you didn't even invite me? Shameful.ˣˣ
Jack amplified his voice many times to be heard, "Aye, Yoggi, he's trying to get me to sell off the dark young you sent me... Whatever that is..."
ˣˣDear brother... Still collecting my things?ˣˣ The bleeding moon in the sky blinked, as large washes of amaranthine colored fluids expelled from the eye as if it cried.
ˣˣNot like you ever cared before! You know what I do!ˣˣ The Yellow figured pointed and accused, as Asstur's movements became exaggerated, Jack could see the former slime residents falling from the towers that became the hands of Asstur. They plummeted many kilometers to splat on the ground, in a gory honey-colored rain.

ˣˣHow many of my daughters do you have now? Hmmm, should I set them free while I'm here?ˣˣ
ˣˣYou stay the fuck away from my collection!ˣˣ
ˣˣAs your big brother... What good is power if you don't abuse it... Isn't that right, Jack?ˣˣ Laughter erupted from the pale moon that blinked and bled, as the mustard blond twilight skies darkened, there came a cracking sound.
Jack nearly fell out of the sky from the impact of the sound alone. As if a volcano awoke from its dormant sleep, roaring to life! It echoed in the realm and reverberated. The parts of the surroundings of Carcosa not a part of the form of Asstur instantly burst into dust and swept away by the wind.
Jack was awed and lifted his head to continue to watch, even while holding it in pain. He saw massive fissures in the sky, as it appeared darkness dripped into the area. Soon pieces of the sky began to plummet to the ground, only to dissolve into nothingness before impact. The now cracked open sky revealed the Macro Cosmos beyond...
Jack now knew that this place was between the worlds, an area like he visited last time with Yoggi and Shub. Asstur must have isolated this place from Yoggi and the rest. That's why Yoggi must have referred to it as his clubhouse!
ˣˣStop breaking my things! Do you know how long it took to make this!? Like! Four hours! FOUR HOURS!ˣˣ Asstur finally threw the first true attack. His crusty hand of towers balled into a fist of wreckage as it smashed into the Moon's eye.
"Clap!"
"Crack!"
[A punch... Eldritch beings fight like... Commoners... Just... Everyday people... My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.] Jack thought within his mind, as he watched the moon in the void skies break apart from the impact of Asstur's fist, as the figure of Yoggi loomed in the darkness behind the shattered moon outside the dome of these amber lands.
The large countless tentacles invaded from the Dark beyond the Macro Cosmos into the cracked open world of Asstur's.
ˣˣLet's see if you will submit to my might again, dear brother!ˣˣ Yoggi's large bubbled head with it's cephalopod persuasion loomed in the distance. As the Tentacles raced to Asstur's titanic form, a purple solution was slung and dripped across the land. Where it dripped, amethyst colored squid faced humanoids crawled out of the muck, dressed in robes. Some of these squid people carried weapons with their tentacle-like arms. Jack could see swords, axes, and staves made of some black metal.
Jack followed their line of sight to find that the Yellow slime people that splatted earlier, had reformed and took up arms as well.
[Now this! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO WATCH!] Jack roared in his mind, as he saw the purple-headed squid monster men charge while cackling crazed languages best forgotten, while the yellow slime humanoids launched themselves through the area with their weapons made of rotten hardwood axes, and staves of gnarled birch, while overhead the titanic forms of Yoggi and Asstur traded blows, that rippled the land like turbulent seas!
Jack looked up as he heard the angry voice of Asstur, ˣˣYour little death cannot harm me, for I have never lived so I can never die!ˣˣ
While the calm voice of Yoggi echoed back in the laughter of numerous creatures, ˣˣAnd with strange eons even, I, death may die, brother! And if I can, so can you!ˣˣ
