Welcome to Gaia! ::

A rift portal ripped itself open on the bridge that lead into Aliator's castle. From it stepped three semi-metal black knight looking creatures. Clearly of Phyrexian nature. In their left hands they held scythes that had the blades pointing to the right to show they were not in an attack mode and meant not to assault anything. The three approached the guards in front. "The Order of Yawgmoth requests a council with the sentient creature known as 'Aliator'. We will wait for him." The one in front boldly said. Weapons were useless against them if Ali's guards wanted to attack them. But seeing as they held no hostility and only wanted to speak with Aliator. Yawgmoth had planned ahead in sending them, knowing they would get to see Aliator without anyone's interference.

The knight in front turned his head to the side. "The Order does not plan to enter the castle. We meant for the sentient creature, Aliator, to come down here to us for a few moments. Do fetch him for us." the knight finished. They were told by Yawgmoth never to drop their weapons at Ali's place. Yawgmoth didn't even know what kind of tricks his castle may have held. So they were advised to have Ali come outside to them. "If this will aid in your reasoning. We are here on behalf of Lord Yawgmoth. Aliator's friend and rival. He will understand. Bring him to us."

The Knights sensors went off and they quickly turned around to see Aliator. "Greetings Mister Aliator. We are The Order of Yawgmoth." The knight in front stated. "We are here on behalf of our patron god to confirm your allegiances. In two weeks time. Exactly fourteen days from now, Phyrexia will invade the grounds of this syndicate to wrench control from two beings under the names Angel Omega and Zero Omega and will attempt to place control under the hands of Queen Crow and Yawgmoth. Yawgmoth has informed us you and Crow are old friends, and you and he are more or less the same. He has told us to ensure to you, that if you plan to side with Crow your land will be touched by no Phyrexian, your troops, your castle, nothing that belongs to you shall be laid claim by the empire. However, he has made it clear to state that if you stand against him he will have to make the attempt to crush you to ensure victory for Queen Crow. The Order has come to confirm Mister Aliator. Where does your loyality lie? With Queen Crow and Yawgmoth. Or with the current leaders of the syndicate?" The knight in front finished turning his head to the side. His mechanical red eyes gleaming from under the helm awaiting Aliator's response. Unlike Ziven Aliator's answer was required right then and there. Aliator was a huge key in Yawgmoth's design and fitting the design to perfection required a knowledge of who Aliator would fight for. Which side he would stand with.

The Knight tilted its head the other direction. "No Mister Aliator. You misunderstand. Concurrently the only lands being invaded are those of the Syndicate ruled by Angel Omega and Zero Omega. The rest of the planet 'Earth' is not of Phyrexian interest at this time. It is Queen Crow's desire to rule this Syndicate. And it is Yawgmoth's desire to help Queen Crow achieve this dream. He is using Phyrexia's aid to accomplish this task. Do you understand clearly the situation at present Mister Aliator? Or shall I clarify further."

"Your demands must be made with higher phyrexian authority. We will contact Yawgmoth to speak with you directly. Due hold a moment." The Knight in front said. All three of their red eyes closed and if Ali could feel it, a signal wave on the same frequency as a radio or microwave flashed out from the three of them pulsating three times. It traveled very very far and reached its destination. "He is on his way." The knights backed up a step and stood at attention. The air between the knights and Ali grew heated and in a flashy planeshift there stood Yawgmoth with grease over his body and sweat coming down his face. He pulled the shirt he'd tied around his waist up and wiped his face clear of the grease and sweat. "Ali" He said tying the shirt around his waist again. "They said you have demands for our little game. What do you want? We need to take everything you do more importantly into account in our plans my friend. You are already aware that if you stand against us, you will be our greatest opposition. We are really hoping this will not be the case." Yawgmoth said crossing his arms over his chest waiting to hear Ali's demands.

Yawgmoth chuckled for a moment. "Angel and her family were never to be killed my friend. Think of this like a grand scale of chess. The king is only put into checkmate, never captured and killed. Only put into a position where it could be. The same will apply to Angel and Zero and her family. They were be locked away somewhere or whatever Crow wants to do with them. This is, after all, for her. Not for us. Remember that. This has been a dream of hers since she was with Mal. We however, are going to deliver this place to her on a silver platter and raise her to the queen and ruler status she deserves. As for your other demands, the first one is complex. You will compile a list of these people for us to see first. We aren't just going to go by who knows you. You get to pick who lives and dies. List all the people you consider friend enough to let live. And as for your second request." Yawgmoth smirked a little. "You won't have to worry about that. If we ever decide to take over this little mudball it won't be for eons and eons and you and everyone you love will be long gone by then. But for now, we are content taking over the most powerful part of this feeble planet. It is just as taking over the brain of a person controls the whole person without taking over every other organ. So we will honor your request as long as you and your family live. If this is acceptable then you can talk to Crow about any other details. We are sure she would love for you to rule with both of us. You and her have known each other longer than she has known us. And we are also sure, that if you stand against her, the knife in her back might be very devastating to her."

Yawgmoth shook his head. "Unable to be met. Phyrexian allow is unable to be destroyed by weapons you know. Bullets bounce off of it, Canon balls that are not large enough are like it getting hit with a large beach ball. It is highly highly magic resistant and near perfect. The only sure fire methods to ensure a phyrexian's death is to sever its spinal column. Since all phyrexians are" Yawgmoth said turning to one of his knights. He slammed him onto the ground and pulled the helm of the knight off revealing a zombie like face with cybernetic parts. Yawgmoth plunged his fingers into the decaying flesh below the neck and ripped a large metallic spinal column out. The spinal column held red lights and tiny slivers of metallic string on the sides that actually held some severed muscle tissue on them. "Fitted with one of these. It is what makes them phyrexian. These metal strings graft themselves onto your muscle structure and enhance them with the phyresis process. Ripping this out, as you can see, is an instant death." Yawgmoth said kicking the knight that was no longer moving. "However therein lies the problem. Getting to the spinal column is never an easy job. We know this is their weakness and we have enhanced their security around it. Besides the spine ripping and giant explosions or any kind of super heat that melts their metallic parts, there is of course one last method to ensuring their demise. Crushing them. If a giant boulder falls and smashes into five of them. Consider them dead. It might not break ALL the Phyrexian allow on them, but any fleshy parts will be squished and cut into by the metal parts that did crumble and break. So there you have it. Spinal column severing, crushing them, extreme heat and extreme explosions are the only sure fire methods to offing one of them. These methods work to varying degrees on different models. You have seen Titus we are sure, obviously you cannot crush something as large a mountain or hope to rip out his spinal implant since it easily weighs as much as your entire castle. But explosions and heat still work. See what we're getting at?" yawgmoth explained dropping the spine and blasting it with a dark ball that melted it into nothingness. He would not let his spinal columns be 'studied' to find defects by anyone but himself. Even if Ali was going to side with him. He was selfish of his greatest creation.
