《Wholly Undead》Chapter 196: All Together Now
Advertisement
"Where are the... Others?" Jack asked hesitantly. Time seemed to be wasting, but he was now playing the pronoun game.
The Skeleton-Emily pointed indifferently to the remaining locked doors. "They are one to a door. We need each other. I'll help since I have nothing better to do." She then shrugged.
Not usually one for time, but now pressed, Jack went to each of the remaining doors and ripped off the chains. He opened each of the doors, as he went along. Completing his objective, only leaving the door that the Spider Goddess went through closed, he returned to the center of the Mirrored Hall.
"Emily... I need your help. The Spider Goddess wants to take over your body. I think part of you knows, a part doesn't care, and apart what’s to stop it... I don't know about the rest, but... Can you help your husband? I don't want to lose you!"
Out of the seven doors that Jack broke open, the first to appear rushed Jack.
Jack staggered due to the force of the undead that rushed him.
"I knew... I knew you would be here. Yes, I long for you. Forget the Spider whatever, and let's just soul bond now." The Undead roused in Jack's arms.
"Tch." The Skeletal Loli Emily sounded her dissatisfaction.
Before Jack could get a good look at the Emily in his arms, the Eyeless Ghoul to his side had reached out and snatched the Lustful Emily in Jack's arms.
"Let go of me, you bitch!" The Emily that rushed Jack began to fight the Ghoul creature.
"Ah, girls... Please don't fi-" Jack tried to persuade the two, before being interrupted.
"Those two will be fighting for a while... Tch, Pathetic." A tall skeletal female undead stepped out of her room, calling out to Jack. She looked like a tall skeleton version of the loli to his side, but there was much disgust in her words compared to the indifference of the skeletal loli Emily.

Jack then heard the next... A small Zombie child slowly walked from her room dragging a small stuffed spider toy. "I remember when both of them didn't fight... They were better times."
"Tch, and you remember when none of us existed too, I bet. Still holding on to the past, are we?" The Tall Skeletal Emily spat.
"How do we move on, if we don't remember what we've done?" The Small large-eyed zombie Emily brought up her stuffed spider and held onto it lovingly as if she remembered better times. Jack had to admit, that this version of Emily melted his heart. She was too cute for words. Perhaps skin and flesh really did make a difference on his sense of aesthetics.
A pair of eyes stared out of one of the doors, as Jack looked to the voice to see the eyes, "I understand remembering... But they torment. I don't understand anything else! What good is anything?! Why fight? Why do anything?!" The voice cracked, in a sobbing tone.
"Now, there's no need fo-" Jack attempted to comfort this confused and frustrated voice of Emily, but not before being interrupted again.
"""The Mad King shows up in person??? How is that possible???""" Three voices overlapped, as Jack saw that three small Emily's... Each looks like her from before she took on her new body. The only difference where their dresses. The one on the left wore a bright red dress with plenty of frills, but her webbed hair was all messed up looking slightly mad. The middle one wore a small pink dress that showed off her skeletal legs and hugged her skeletal frame, and lastly, the one on the right wore a large ball gown in a monochromatic black.
[Three in sync???] Jack thought astounded.
A sobbing voice issued from the eyes in the darkroom, "I'm sure he's here to kill us, even if he loved us!"

"Unlikely." The indifferent voice of the skeletal loli side of Jack issued forth.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?!" The angry sob issued again.
"He's here to fight the Spider Goddess. He already said as much. If you paid attention, you would know this." Her bland voice continued.
"""What’s wrong with you??? Ever since yesterday, it seems you died.""" The three dressed Emily’s spoke in unison again.
"Meh. I have no purpose, so what's there to be about?" Emily spoke again with that same monotone.
The horned-ghoul and the tall lustful Emily ceased catfighting, as they laid upon the mirrored surface of the hall, as they and the rest of the Emily’s turn to stare at the one that spoke.
Noticing the small change, Jack also looked down to the speaker and processed the words. He dropped to his knees and embraced the Small and bland speaking Emily.
He pulled her tight to himself, as he did so, the Ghoul Emily crawled over. It hugged to Jack's side, just as the same with the Lusty Emily.
"You have a purpose. I'm your purpose. Please don't be like that. I wouldn't be here if you weren't my purpose!" Jack held onto the indifferent loli.
"My... Purpose?" The Emily that lost her purpose's arms dangled to the side as she was embraced by Jack.
"Yes. Be my purpose."
"What is it that I do?" That indifferent voice cracked.
"Be mine, exist for me, help me, and above all... Be happy!" Jack exclaimed.
The seemingly indifferent loli embraced Jack, nodding her little head, "I can. If that's my purpose, I can!"
Jack pulled the Loli back a bit, "Let's go kill us a Goddess!"
All the Emily’s present nodded.
Jack stood back up, and then coughed lightly, which was even more awkward seeing at he was undead and didn't need to breathe, and in a realm in which he was a projection of his soul, also with a lack of necessity to breathe.
The formally indifferent Emily giggled, "We are parts of a whole that make us complete. We were each contained before you came along and freed us. I don't know what will become of us but are you sure you want us whole. It's not normal to be whole."
"Not normal to be whole?" Jack wondered what this meant, but before he could ask.
The Emily’s present faded into a black mist. Swirling around Jack, as if seeking comfort in him, before it reassembled into a whole new Emily.
She appeared to Jack as a combination of all the Emily’s and her new body. She was half skeleton and half undead with webby hair, but this time... She had a heavy influence of the ghoul Emily. At least this time, instead of the gazelle-like horns extending from her eyes, they extended from her forehead.
"Ummm... Emily?"
"I'd love for you to continue to gawk at me, but the Spider Goddess is almost finished her business at my core. Take my hand, and I can get us there quickly." Emily spoke with some mixed emotions, but with an overall tone of love, as she extended her fair hand to Jack.
Jack nodded and took her hand. The mirrored hall's mirrored bottom suddenly shattered, as Jack and Emily fell into another abyss hand in hand.
