Welcome to Gaia! ::

The figure didn't respond for a moment and stared Ali down narrowing the white eyes. The pistol didn't sit too well with it apparently. It finally spoke. A deep hallow voice that only resembled the one Ali named slightly. "Put the gun down Aliator. You are not in my warpath unless you would like to be." The most distinctive thing about that whole statement was the fact that it spoke in a singular word not a pluarl. It said 'my' not 'our'. That could only mean something was very off kilter.

"That wave was a side effect and I did not mean it to harm. Only to vent. We could not control where it went after a certain point. It killed me." The figure stated and started walking towards Ali. "After it crushed me beneath its great power it had to escape from the tower of light I was trying to hold it in. It escaped and where else would it go? But every direction outward of course. It's natural physics. Be thankful. That it was only those 256. It could've been more. It could've been you and your wife. Whether or not you want to believe it I took the brunt of it. If the side effects did all this. Then just imagine. What would've happened if I let the whole thing slip." He finished standing just in front of Aliator. The power this form of Yawgmoth emitted was near unreal. Something obviously happened if he claimed he had died from the wave but was now standing inches from Ali's face.

Ali knew Yawgmoth's skin was tough but this skin felt like nothing Ali had ever felt before. It was cold, and soft, but with a hard underlay. Ali's move only made the being slide back a few feet. The shadow creature tilted its head and chuckled. "You should really learn what you're dealing with before you try to assault it. I am above you. Above Zero. Above everyone now. To reap my wrath as I see fit. And no one will stop me." The creature stepped forward once again and it was then as it spoke bending its head down in Ali's face that Ali could notice that it had no mouth that was moving. Visually anyway. "Are you going to try another futile attack? Or do I get to hit back now?"

"As a prize for being a friend. I will not kill you. But I will render you useless while I reap my revenge." The shadow creature spoke clenching his fists. The figure vanished to the untrained eye. and to the keen eye as well it would take a near supernatural sight to keep track of his movements. It made the distance between itself and Aliator nothing in a matter of miliseconds. The floorboard where it started snapped after it was already at its target. A dark flash raced as it snapped its left fist up for a cross punch. It would take the same kind of vision to see such a quick movement. Secretly, it hoped Ali would prove to be better than it expected and catch him coming.

Had Ali punched with his free hand instead of the same one he'd used to stop the entity's arm there would've been no way for it to miss but because there would be a stall, very slight, but a stall none the less between stopping the entity's attack and then striking with the same arm there was way. The being's right arm came down in a hammerfist fashion towards Ali's forarm. The force of the impact would knock Ali's arm down and away from the entity as well as doing some damage to Ali's main offensive arm.

Yawgmoth brought his left arm digaonally upward for Alis cheek. With his right arm in motion Ali would have to block it with his left or get knocked flat on his a** from the impact.

As Ali tried to rise to his feet the entity's big black foot came down with a furious stomp. It was a simplistic quick motion to lift the foot, and stomp down letting gravity and weight do the rest. He wasn't going to let Ali get the chance to stand up if he could help it.

The being felt the stomp in his gut and backed away slumping over. Thinking in simple terms of logic if every attack on Ali reflected on Yawgmoth then by simplistic thinking, every attack on Yawgmoth would be reflected at Ali. Even though the barriers were 'entry' and 'exit' if he could manipulate them they both be 'entry/exit' and reflect all attacks both ways. The being copied the signature of the entry and exit barries and using his intense knowledge of the arcane this new yawgmoth emitted the same signals as the barries. Thus ripping both barriers into two way streets. Now all attacks on Yawgmoth would thus reflect themselves to Aliator. Without another thought Yawgmoth reared back and hit himself in the chin as hard as he could in hopes that his cross signaling had worked and all the damage would reflect itself through the portals to Aliator. If Yawgmoth did nothing but beat himself Ali wouldn't have a way to dodge or a chance to respond by hitting himself to cause Yawgmoth any damage and the fight would be won soon enough.
