Chapter 168 - A Deal forged with Villainous Thoughts

"Not really." Jack shrugged.

"What...?" 'Yoggi' asked for a second time this meeting.

"I mean... I don't care if any of the questions are lies or not. In any case, they don't impact me one way or another." Jack laughed similarly as 'Yoggi.'

"...You smart ass... You smart little strange jack ass... Oh, JACK ass!" 'Yoggi' began to laugh as well, and the strange scene of two idiotic and eccentric undead one white skeleton and one black skeleton laughing creepily formed in a realm between worlds and veils.

'Yoggi' stopped laughing in mid-Ha, and narrowed his eye sockets to look at Jack.

"You didn't play the game correctly, so you get a bonus."

"Oh? A bonus round?" Jack asked inquisitively.

"Yeah, a bonus round, but this time it's in reverse! I'm going to tell you three things, and each one with will be either the truth, a lie, or a half-truth!." 'Yoggi's' tone took a turn to anger.

"I see... Alright, go ahead."

"Leslie loves you."

"You are the Lich King."

"And lastly, Emily hates you, and want's her freedom."

'Yoggi' spoke then paused between each sentence for dramatic effect.

"Oh... I see. That's interesting."

"Isn't it? 'Yoggi's' bony hands clapped together, though they issued a flesh slapping sound, despite their bony appearance.

"Sure... Regarding Leslie, that can't be a half-truth, really. Love is all or nothing if you ask me. Whether it's the love of a friend or that of a lover... Then she either Loves or Hates me."

"So that leaves the last two for half-truth... You are either the Lich King or you're not... Right, so I'm not the Lich King, then that means that's false."

"Emily doesn't hate me, I think, but that means she wants freedom."

Jack tapped on his chin a few times, as he spoke out loud while looking at the stars above.

'Yoggi's' hands squiggled as a mass of tentacles squirmed, as he retracted them into his robes, as Jack looked back down.

"So, Leslie loves me, Emily wants freedom, and I'm not the Lich King." Jack held his bony hand with a thumbs up.

"Really... Are you sure?" 'Yoggi' extended his bony hands to wave them in the air, making a no sign.

"No. I've fairly confident I'm right."

"Well, I can tell you-you got some of that wrong, hahahaha! Take that as a hint!" 'Yoggi' laughed again, as he watched a blank Jack.

Jack shrugged, as he spoke, "I do have a different question. How do I go back."

"Go back? Oh, you mean back to the living realms. That's fine. I'll just wipe your memories and send you back. This time I'll just let the cycle pick where to send you at random... Seems the world I sent you to for fun, turned out to be a bust... Blah."

"Wait... What?" Jack now was startled, as if someone stepped on his tail.

"Which part...? Wiping your memories, letting the cycle to pick where you should go, or that I was the one to send you to that last world?" 'Yoggi' tilted his head, as one eye socket became round and the other squinted as if confused.

"..." Jack didn't say anything as he watched this being in front of him.

"Not thinking anything either... Give me a bone hear, haha! Seriously, what is it?" 'Yoggi' laughed.

"You know damn well it's wiping my memories. What kind of shit is that... If you wipe my memory what good was having me ask questions and telling me that bullshit?!" Jack exclaimed out of anger.

"Oh! I've done that each time you came through... You didn't remember those, so why did you think you were going to remember this time? The last time you died YOU DIDN'T COME BY HERE, DUMBASS!" 'Yoggi's' voice raised, as it rumbled through the area reverberating, as his form quivered as if many worms were inside his white robes.

"Wait... That literally last time I did... I didn't come through here?!?"

"You were so smart earlier, and now you've become so dumb! Was it the Creator's laugh and snore that made you stupid!" 'Yoggi' calmed down and thought for a moment looking at the ground, "Yeah, I bet it was the Creator that made you stupid... Alright, it's time to wrap this up then."

"No! No! Wait!"

"What is it, now?" 'Yoggi' looked to be impatience with his hands on his hips.

"Let me go back to my body, and rejoin Leslie... I don't want my memory wiped and to be sent somewhere from her... What will she do? What will the others do? My Kingdom? My plans! How will I accomplish my goals!?!?!"

'Yoggi' shrugged, "Better luck next time?"

"I'm sure you have the power to send me back, so let me return."

"And... What's in it for me?" 'Yoggi' laughed.

"That's what friends are for???" Jack said with a slight hopeless laugh.

"Ah, Ahaha! Okay, that's funny, but seriously what's in it for me?"

"Well, what do you want?"

"I want my boredom to end." 'Yoggi' said straight out, "Do you think you can end that boredom by yourself???"

"Ah... No..."

"Yeah, thought so... Time to wipe your memories." 'Yoggi' took two steps to the front of Jack lifting his hand.

"Wait... No... I'm interesting! I do interesting things! Think of it as a challenge to come kill you and your fellows, or, or, or Something else, I could invite you to chill in my world. I'm sure there is something that can help with boredom!" Jack grasped at straws, as 'Yoggi' paused his step.

"Invite me to your world? You do realize that if my true form shows up in your world, it's basically the end of that world, right?"

"I could summon you to a different world, doesn't have to be mine right? As long as I go to another world, I can summon you there, say like a weapon!"

"Isn't that giving you too much... You get to go back to your life, with all this knowledge, and you get to summon me on your enemies in other worlds... Where is the downside?" 'Yoggi' put his hand down, as he tilted his head again for the third time this meeting.

"Does it have to have a downside? Think about fun instead, and think of it as a win-win! You get to venture out, do something different! It's like a vacation!"

"You do realize that you are trading you're unlife for the possible countless lives of an entire world... Doesn't that bother you?" 'Yoggi' laughed amused, and actually for the first time wondered how this mortal would answer.

"I can't be the only would that has ever made this deal, right! All, I have to do is make sure I find a world that I don't like and summon you on over... I want what's mine. Screw everyone and everything else!"

Jack watched as 'Yoggi' bent over laughing... The shrill laughter that pitched high in frequency and then bottomed out into a low timbre... It was an eerie sound that could be described as hundreds of... Creatures... Hundreds of creatures laughing... Laughing that sounds old... That sounded right in front of him, and that it sounded far way... A funny sound that made Jack feel as if he had hair on his neck rising.

Jack even reached to his bony neck to check to see if he had flesh...

The white robes of 'Yoggi' burst with countless tentacles, countless black tentacles, as they waved in the air, enlarging at a rapid pace as the laughter continued, and rumbled. A large central mass bubbled out from the middle of this chaos. Large slits formed and oozed a purple solution across the tentacles, and a large gash appeared in the middle of the seemingly large gelatinous mass that billowed forth, that took on a shape with a cephalopod type persuasion.

As these gashes and slits poured forth their violaceous fluids, with many xanthous-like eyes peering from their opened wounds across this now immense and darkly fantastically sized being, as more and more laughter filtered into the realm, as even the stars in the skies above quivered.

Jack watched in horror, as he continuously backed up from this monstrous inhuman creature. He continued to look on, as he felt sharp ice pick pains within his mind. This being... This 'Yoggi'... It was... Was a being that defied common sense, and logic...

As the laughter came to a rolling stop, all the eyes that contained many pupils looked down with many different emotions contained within each, although each eye gazed at the same target... Jack.

An inhumane voice now rang across the realm, like a voice made of nails scraping a chalkboard, or perhaps the piercing sound of an incoming impact...

ˣˣYou wish to summon me to a world, for your own selfish desires and damn those that would get in your way... You will be the most villainous of all creation... You are not the first to ask this deal, but you will be the first to be granted this deal with the conditions that you wish!ˣˣ

More laughter rang, as Jack held his head with both hands. He had fallen to his knees trying to understand the voices... The many sounds that were not voices but mimicked a voice, and decipher their meaning.

ˣˣAny last words, before I cast you back to which you came!ˣˣ 'Yoggi' spoke in many sounds.

"Yeah... Can we still be friends?" Jack asked as he covered up one eye, to attempt to look up at this... This thing that had become.

ˣˣ...ˣˣ

Along paused stretched long enough that Jack felt some of the pain in his mind ease.

ˣˣYes... We can be considered friends... Now go back! Go back to your world... I expect you to do what you have agreed to!ˣˣ

"Is there a timeline?!" jack roared again, as pain flooded back in to fill the void of relief.

ˣˣThere is no such thing as time to me!ˣˣ Laughter issued forth again, ˣˣIn time..." Laughter rang again as if amused at his own wording, ˣˣIn your time, I will send you a present.ˣˣ

ˣˣGood luck... My friend...ˣˣ

Jack felt something crawling underneath him, as his gaze fell to his feet. The ground twisted as if alive and slowly reached around as if many black insects were emerging forth to consume him. Jack decided to trust 'Yoggi' and let go. He was engulfed, and then his vision darkened as the last spec of sight failed him, and the feeling of weightlessness took over.
