Location/ Black Castle Games

"I equip Coatl with Obsidian Warclub! TARGET THE POLEARMSMAN!"

"LEFT, HAO, LEFT! DODGE DOWNWARD NOW!"

"I ACTIVATE SCROLL OF ILLUSIONS! CONCEAL!"

At the signal Hao, an Aztec Jaguar-Warrior, and a medieval girl dressed in full-body robes sprang forward, ready for combat. Nessert also darted forward, grabbed Bakura by the back of his robes, and took off across the battlefield, dragging the other thief behind her. The Arena in question was a mountainous area where the only available ground has a series of stone cliffs.

"WHAT! Where are we-"

"Shh! They're preoccupied! I have to get you somewhere for us to prepare."

The demi-goddess came to rest behind a rock face on the western side of the arena. She peeked over the rock. Good, Vessel and Ryou knew where they were.

"VESSEL! SEND ME THE Bow of Sekhmet! NOW!"

Ryou skimmed over the cards in his hand and, as Nicole had taught him, discarded 3 cards and drew another 3. A holographic caught his eye.

"I equip Ba-Khu-Ra with Thief's Claw!"

Bakura grinned as his right arm was enveloped in gold and reshaped to form three, long, razor-sharp claws not unlike Andro's Manslayer's Scythe. Nessert whistled.

"Good card! But I can do better!"

Nicole shrugged and set down three cards.

"I chain-equip Bow of Sekhmet, Arrow of Sekhmet, and Armor of Sekhmet!"

The murderess snatched a newly-formed arrow, golden and inscribed with the cartouche of Sekhmet, and notched it into place on the matching bow. She nodded to Bakura.

"On my count, fight for all you're worth! 3.."

Bakura flexed his metal arm, the claws extending.

"2.. 1.. GO!"

In unison the two thieves leapt over the rock Bakura charging headfirst into the fray and Nessert firing arrows with deadly accuracy. The projectiles flew straight, leaving quickly-fading black divots in the very air around them. The first few reached their first target, Coatl, the first burying itself deep in the thin, leather armor on his arm. The Aztec Warlord snarled and turned, taking the second and third arrows in the chest. Seemingly unfazed, he bellowed and charged Nessert.

"YOU HAVE DISGRACED ME A TIME TOO MANY! DIE! ARUGH!"

Bakura leapt neatly in the charging warrior's path and, with a single swipe of his claws decapitated him. Coatl fell and, before he even hit the ground, disappeared while Nicholas cursed under his breath, his projectors flashing YOU LOSE. The two thieves exchanged grins. One down, two to go.


Coatl- Last time I checked it ether meant Serpent or Feather in Aztec, its short for Quetzalcoatl, the Feather Serpent Creation God.

Jaguar Warrior- In the Aztec military the two greatest classes of warriors were the Jaguar and Eagle knights.

Obsidian War Club- A war club serrated with obsidian volcanic glass, which is much sharper than surgical steal.

Polearm- a weapon consisting of a long pole with a blade of some sort at the end.
