Author's Note: I own nothing but my own characters, concepts, and situations/plot. Now I'm going to start adding an Arena Stats thing similar to Time and Location.

Mana-the-Authoress: Yay! Paper Talismans are fun, no? My friends and I borrowed the idea from Taoist talismans and, considering we have NO IDEA HOW TO WRITE CHINESE CALIGRAPHY, just used Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Voila! Instant fan-fic prop! hands out paper talismans COFFEE FILTER PAPER FOR ALL!

Chapter 33- ULTIMATE CHAOS!

Barely a moment passed before Jake reappeared.

"Alright! Round 2 is a Death match! Damage is easier to receive! Players! Are you ready?"

The mortals nodded, whilst (hehehe, I like that word) the spirits exchanged glares.

"Alright. Go!"

The trio set their Ankh cards in the space and began.

Arena- Upper Abyssal Plane

Bakura looked around at his new surroundings. Dark, foreboding, no hint of walls, or sky, or floor…

"Are we in the Shadow Realm?"

Nessert, who was floating off to his left, shook her head.

"Nope, the Abyssal Plane. The monsters here aren't quite so cuddly."

"Ah. I'm curious…"

"What?"

"How do we communicate with our hosts?"

"…"

"What? It was a good question!"

"They can't see us, we can't see them, and we can't hear each other. We rely on instinct."

"Ah."

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The laughter echoed from all sides. Nessert and Bakura looked around, heads swiveling.

"Poor little spirits, lost in the realm of demons! Its as if you cannot see me! Oh! That's right! You can't! HAHAHA!"

The voice sounded like B, but darker somehow. All somewhat less human. Bakura glowered.

"You can't see us ether! All is even!"

More laughter.

"That's rich! I can't see you? Ha! This is my element and I'm at home here! I suggest preparing yourselves! This isn't even a fair game!"

As if Ryou and Nicole could hear what was going on, the Theif's Claw and Bow of Sekhmet appeared . Bakura grinned, flexing the claws.

"I'm starting to really like these things!"

"You'd better, B's coming."

There was a sound of wing and Bakura was tossed sideways by a heavy glow.

"AUGH!"

"Hahahahaha! This is easy! You aren't any fun at all!"

Bakura gritted his teeth. The strike hurt! Sure, he had felt more pain in his lifetime and the time afterwards, yet…

Nessert flitted next to her partner.

"She's using her sixth sense to find us."

"How do we counter that?"

"We don't. Just dodge as best you can. I'm going hunting."

"Screw that! I'm not going defensive!"

Nessert grinned.

"Thank the gods for that."
