Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aliator had far far underestimated Yawgmoth's mastery of shadows and darkness. Over the last eleven years of his training his darkness had surpassed its weakness. It was too often forgot that although shadow magic had an innate weakness to light magic. Light magic also had an innate weakness to shadows. It was a two way street. The titan's genetic grasp of his element combined with his past training had ascended his darkness to a level beyond all other shadows. Light was useless against them. They were similar to the way a black hole worked, so called because not even light could escape from its devouring hunger. The same concept was true here, minus the gravity well portion of a collapsed star. It didn't matter how strong the light was anymore. Unless Ali had become some sort of pure holy entity who harbored the same kind of genetic control, it was all moot. Though he succeeded in one thing, slowing them down as they devoured the light from his aura growing stronger as they fed.

Pale white eyes watched unmoving. If Ali's aura devoured energy and grew stronger, and his darkness devoured the light from it and grew stronger this cycle was not going to end anytime soon. Grumbling that they could be here for ages waiting for one or the other to give the titan simply closed his fists. "Shadowfury" he uttered clasping his hand tightly. The massive amounts of darkness supercharged by eating away at Ali's aura started to glow a very bright violet purple color before all of them detonated in a tremendously violent explosion. If anyone inside didn't find a way to escape the blast radial, teleport somewhere or like the titan himself be immune to his own magic, they were easily going to be shredded by the violent eruption.

There would be no room, no bar after an explosion like that. The two combatants would be standing in splintered ruins. The only things in tact, luckily for Ali's whisky, would be the bar with that special metallic under layer that Yawgmoth helped install so many years ago. As long as Ali's drinks were tucked away behind it they'd be fine. "Pfft. You say that as if we didn't know you'd survive that blast." he mocked in return. "It is time you stopped playing. Drop your restraints or you will not win." he said holding his hand out stretched showing all five black skinned fingers.

"Five. Five percent is all this is. We have managed to be able to change our form without having to max ourselves out. If you remember this form being our strongest. You're in for a fun show Ali. So, we will stop playing the warm up game when you do." he responded lowering his hand. "So what will it be?" he asked as the spell placed upon the inn by Zero and Angel about the same time Yawgmoth fixed the bar to be nigh impervious to damage began to repair the damage rebinding the wooden splinters together. With the extensive damage it'd take the spell a bit. A day at most but then things would be as they always were. Pristine and undamaged.

You do not want me fully unrestricted, I'll severely hurt you and all of RDS by not even moving then.* Ali's smile vanished in an instant, looking dead serious. Going all out was in his opinion cheap at this point unless it was for something greater then a petty brawl. While Ali was a warrior, he had dicipline to not go overboard anymore. He had..matured more so to speak.* But it seems I have grown beyond you at one point however, perhaps you are stronger when it comes to power but frankly a petty brawl is what immature brats do. Even if it's fun. Additionally I don't care much about holding the Top dog title around here anymore, I got better things on my mind. Call me weak if you may but truth to be told, behind that ego you do have doubts regarding me and if I truly am weaker then you. No matter if you say you were lazy or not.
Besides if you've spent the last 15 years training just to go beyond me in power then I feel sorry for Ziven, sorry that she's had to be alone just because you placed your own power before her.* Ali crossed his arms infront of his chest after that small speech, he knew Yawg would call him weak and a coward and whatnot but frankly he didn't care. Ali knew he could take down Yawg if he had too one day, it would be tough and he'd probably fall himself in the progress. He didn't want to reveal his power yet, just like he never did in the beginning when he first set foot upon the lands of RDS, but having sucked the blood of the offspring of gods did give him a pretty substancial leap. He did move the planet after all with just his gravitation abillity.* So what will it be indeed?

Before the blast from yawgamoth's dark energy, he managed to phase himself from the reality of the RDS. Basically, the attack went through him. When the bar repaired itself, he rephased back into reality and leaned he back aganist the wall, still watching the other two eager to find out what was going to happen next.

Smirking at Ali's reply pale white eyes moved from their target to the stranger then back to Ali. "In the end it is only personal satisfaction. Whether we kill you or you manage to kill us. Knowing our luck" he said motioning with his hands towards Ali and back to him to show that this particular use of 'our' wasn't him talking in plurals and was referring to both of them. "We would probably kill each other and no one would have any gain, no boasting, no satisfaction no nothing." he concluded cracking his neck. As his spine popped the black layer of skin folded over as a thin tan layer overtook it. Color returned to the titan's eyes and he appeared normal yet again. "We will be on our way then. Enjoy your drink." he grinned looking to the stranger again and back to Ali "Hopefully" he said before his body suddenly burst into a liquid puddle of black oil like liquid which quickly slithered away towards Ziven's home.

Ash quietly walked into the the bar and sat down in one of the corners. She waited patiently until a girl walked over and asked what she'd like. She quietly asked for a small Shirley temple. Once the girl left Ash put her head on the table. "Another day of not finding anything....." She said to herself. She really wanted to remember. She carefully took out the letter from her side pocket and opened it. It was worn down from being opened and closed so many times. She set the letter on the table and stared at the single word written on it. Rebirth. She was sick of this. Why couldn't she remember.

Ash felt some eyes on her and turned around and saw a guy studying her. She wondered if he was talking to her. She then looked away and then saw the girl walking back with her drink. When the girl left she drank some. She sighed. Again staring at the letter in front of her.
