            "Idiotic mortals," muttered Bakura.  Then, more loudly, he yelled, "CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT I'M DOING?"

            Yami studied the abyss and the two sticks sticking out of the ground.  "Ah, I see!!!!!!!!  You're planning to get us across with these two sticks!!!!!!!" he said sarcastically (LOL, I can't even imagine Yami saying that).

            Bakura rolled his eyes.  "No, pharaoh, I'm trying to fly across this stinking abyss!" he replied sardonically.  "Anyone have rope?"

            ~The following plan is courtesy of Mattimeo, one of Brian Jacques's books (from Redwall)~

            Joey dug out a long cord.  "Yeah, what are we - ".

            The tomb robber cut him off.  "Sling it over."

            After many, many pitiful attempts from Joey, the rope ended up being on Bakura's side of the abyss – both ends of the rope, which did no good.

            Once again, the ancient tomb robber rolled his eyes.  He slung one end of the rope over to the other side of the abyss after many tries, the abyss being quite wide.  "Tie it around the stick," he ordered, tying his own end around the sturdy switch on his side.  Testing the rope's strength by tugging on it and balancing lightly on it, he announced that it was ready.

            Midiron paled.  "You don't exactly expect us to tightrope walk across…do you?" he asked, shaking slightly.  "We'll never reach the Capabura in time!!!!!!!!! We barely have any time to walk across this flimsy rope!!!!!!!!!!"

            Bakura sneered at him.  "Here." Snapping his fingers, he conjured a clothes hanger and threw it across.  "They can give you a push and you can come over to this side." 

            Midiron slid the hook onto the rope and grabbed it tightly.  He slid across and sent back the hook.

            Finally, everyone had gone and succeeded except for Yami.  He snickered at the makeshift route, and then hung on to the dilapidated clothes hanger.  "This all you can make, tomb robber?"

            "Baka pharaoh, just go already."

            "I will, don't you worry, baka."

            "Well, make fun of my route all you want, I bet you couldn't do anything remotely like it anyway."

            "Bet I could."

            "Just get across, and the next time we have to go back, I'll cut the rope and see how you can make a better route."

            "How about one involving a bridge?"  Yami grinned at the enraged tomb robber.  "Just kidding, we don't have materials anyway."

            "Just go," replied Bakura between gritted teeth, clenching his hands into fists.

            "Fine." Yami launched off gliding smoothly.  Though his face showed no expression whatsoever, his knuckles were white and sweat was beading down his face.

            He had gone halfway across but then the rope started to bend and thin strands started to snap.  Everyone stared, wide eyed, as the flimsy rope started to slowly fall apart, one thread at a time.  Until only six…five…four…then three…two…one thread was left.  It started to quiver.  Yami desperately sent some Sennen magic to strengthen the one thread.  It straightened and glowed white, still quivering, but holding, not bending, firm as a rod.  But the hook was stuck, and there was no way he could get across, since he was still stuck smack in the middle.

            "Can't he use his magic to get across?" Tristan densely inquired, staring from one person to the next.

            Yami was sweating harder, and snapped at Tristan, "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

            Everyone stared at Yami, but nobody even tried to help.

            The clothes hanger was slipping from his sweaty hands.  He gripped on urgently.

            The hook slipped.

            And Yami slipped with it, still clutching the thin wires, and falling…down…down…down…into the abyss…into the murky darkness.  It was a hopeless situation.
