Aiken continued running until he was out of breathe. "Grrr I need to win six duels without losing anymore. Maybe I should only duel new duelists, But If I lost it would look even worst... Screw it! I'm just gonna challenge the next duelist I see!" Aiken says aloud and smashes his fist against a near by tree. Aiken sees the out line of two people walking his way through some bushes. Aiken jumps infront of there way "I Challenge you to a duel!" And points toward one of them.

"You challenge me. Aren't you the kid that just lost to Pegasus." The young man says

"Pshhh I let him win, I wanted to start the tournament at a disadvantage. To give everyone else a chance." Aiken says cockily.

"Yeah right Kid! Out of my way!" The guy says and pushes Aiken to the side.

Aiken challenges every duelist that walks by, but they all refuse. "Oh Hello there Aiken is it...? A voice comes from behind him.

"Yeah I'm Aiken." He turns and says

"I'm Mako Tsunami. During your last duel I noticed you use water type monster right?" Mako says

"Yeah well I try to use sea serpents. But I don't have that many of them." Aiken says and sighs.

"Ah lift you head up. Here take this monster, I just won it. It's a water type monster but I don't like to change my deck during a tournament. It's a Leiva Dragon, he was 2600 attack and is a Sea serpent." Mako says and passes Aiken the card

"Hey thanks!" Aiken says and looks at the card. "I can show you show pretty powerful Combo's with your cards if you'd like?" Mako says and takes out his deck.

"You would! Thanks!" Aiken says and takes out his deck. For quite a while Mako shows Aiken some Water combos. "Awesome I want to try to challenge someone now!" Aiken says excitedly

"Ah there are many duelist over in a open field about 5 minutes that way." Mako says and points over in the direction he came from.

"I'll win my six duels over there!"Aiken yells and runs off then turns back and waves to Mako.

"Hey its that loud one!" Aiken thinks to himself before he walks over toward Joey. "Joey wheeler! I challenge you to a duel!" Aiken yells so everyone can hear.

"Wha... Why should I duel you. You already lost." Joey says back

"Oh Gonna run like a dog with it's tail between it's legs." Aiken say tauntingly

"I AM NOT A DOG! I accept!" Joey yells.

"You can go first doggie!" Aiken says as a smile wipes across his face.

Joey glares back at Aiken and draws his first cards. "Great this first hand should defeat you! Just like Pegasus did." Joey taunts. "Now I'll play my Marauding Captain, he's special ability lets my summon another monster who's star level is under 4. I chose to summon my Baby Dragon. Next I'll set two cards face down." Joey says, as a Soldier holding two swords and a small dragon appear on the field.

"My turn!" Aiken yells and draws his six cards. "Awesome! I got my Gagagigo, Unshaven Angler, Premature Burial, Terraforming, Tornado Wall and Sujin! I got some off the card combo's Mako showed me" he thinks to himself. "I'll start off my playing Terraforming! This lets my take a field card from my deck and add it to my hand! I'll take my Legendary ocean!" Aiken says and takes a card from his deck. "Now I'll summon my Unshaven Angler and play Legendary ocean. I'll also set one card face down!" Aiken says as a Giant fish with huge teeth appears on the field. "And my Monsters attack power goes up by 200 points! Boosting him to 1700! Now Unshaven Angler attack his Captain!" Aiken yells out.

"Not so fast! I'll play both my facedown cards! Go Graceful dice and Skull dice!" Joey yells. Two monsters appear holding dice. "The Red dice is how much attack power your monster loses! So anywhere from 100-600! The blue dice is how much my monster gains! So 100-600 again! Feeling lucky?" Joey says. Both dice are dropped, The Skull dice rolls a four and the graceful dice a one.

"So... I lose 400 attack and you gain 100?" Aiken asks.

"Yeah so 400 off your 1700 is 1300." Joey says counting on his fingers

"And 100 added to your 1200 is 1300. So its a draw?" Aiken asks.

"Yeah guess so... Both of our monsters die." Joey says back.

"Okay your turn doggie." Aiken says.

"Stop calling me a DOG. Time for you to lose some real life points!" Joey says back angrily as he draws a card. "Yes just the card that can help my do some damage to your life points! I'll summon Gearfried The Iron Knight!" Joey says and slams his card onto the duel disk. Just then a Armored knight appears on the field. "Now Gearfried and Baby Dragon attack his life points for 3000! That'll cut half your life points!" Joey says and watches the monsters attack. "What! Wait your life points didn't go down!" Joey yells in amazement.

"I guess a little puppy dog like you would understand I had a trap set. My Tornado wall trap reduces all your attacks to 0!" Aiken says back to Joey.

"Wait your cheating kid! Tornado wall only works if 'Umi' is on the field!" Joey yells back in protest.

"Dumb little Dog! My Legendary ocean counts as Umi!" Aiken says back.

"So your card thinks its a different card... I'm confused, but I guess I'll end my turn." Joey says back.

"Good my turn!" Aiken says and Draws a card. "Yes my Graceful Charity!" Aiken yells out.

"Is that Aiken I just heard yelling?" Nire says to herself and heads or toward the field The duel is taking place in.

"Ha now I'll discard my two Sujin to the graveyard!" She hears again before she see's Aiken and Joey dueling.

Nire runs over to the area they're dueling at. "Aiken what are you doing! You can't beat Joey Wheeler!" Nire says to Aiken

"Nire please! I know I can win.. and I don't need you to help! So either stay and cheer me on, or go find Bakura and help him duel!" Aiken says to Nire.

"But... Fine! I'll just watch you lose!" She says and backs off a few steps. "He's serious.. He never talked to me like that before." She thinks to herself.

"Okay so now Nire's here, I can show her I can duel. Now I have Gagagigo, Premature Burial, Monster Reborn and Leiva Dragon." He thinks to him themselves. "I got you now! First I'll play Monster Reborn and take back a Sujin! Next Premature Burial to revive the other Sujin! Now I have tow monsters with 2700 attack." Aiken says and two massive blue creatures appear infront of him. "Sujins! Destroy his Baby Dragon and his Knight! Aiken yells and points towards Joeys monsters. Aiken's two Sujin's slam their fists into the water and a tidal wave destroys both Joey's monsters.

"No I lost 2600 life points and both of my monsters..." Joey says rather shocked by Aiken's move. Joey draws he next card. "Damn! I'll set one card face down and end my turn."
Joey says and sighs.

Aiken draws a card. "I'll play the monster I just drew! I Summon Giga Gagagigo!" Aiken yells as a Giant Half Metal reptile surfaces from the water. "With my field power bonus my monsters attack in 2650. And he's ready to destroy any evil Due'r who stands infront of him!" Aiken says and looks at Joey "Notice his star level Doggie?" Aiken Tauntly asks Joey

"Its a level 5 monster! But you didn't Tribute for it! Now your cheating!" Joey yells and starts to flip out.

"Calm down Joey. He's Legendary ocean has another Ability. Not only does it power up his monsters 200 attack and defense, and Also counts as Umi, It reduces all water monsters star level by 1. So level 5 monster down down to level 4 now." Yugi says.

"Ah isn't that cute the puppy has a little owner who tell him about cards!" Aiken taunts

"Your dead after this duel me and you! One on one in a fight! Come on Punk!" Joey yells at Aiken

"Joey calm down, if you fight you'll get thrown off the island." Yugi says to Joey again.

"Your right Yug, this kid isn't worth getting kicked out for." Joey says to Yugi and starts to calm down

"Pssssh your just scared Joey." Aiken says to Joey again.

"I never knew Aiken was his evil... and Taunting. Plus he's doing good in this duel. I could learn to like him a bit more." Nire thinks to herself.

"Now! Attack Joey directly!" Aiken yells "Its not that easy! Go Scapegoats!" Joey yells and plays his face down card. Four goats appear and three get destroyed by Aiken's monsters. "Not bad." Aiken says.

Joey draws a card "Great I play Pot of greed!" Joey says as he draws two more cards. "I'll play my Sogen Field! This destroys your Legendary ocean and gives me the field advange. Now I'll play my Panther Warrior and equip him with a Lighting Blade. My Panther has 3000 attack and all your Water monsters lose 500 due to my Ligthing blade." Joey says as a Black Panther in armor appears on the field holding a sword made my Lightning. "I Gotta offer a monster to let my panther attack. Good bye Scapegoat!" Joey says as his Panther absorbs the scape goats energy. "Attack his weakened Giga Gagagigo its only was 1950 attack!" Joey yells as the Panther Warrior easily cuts through Aiken's monster.

"I knew he couldn't win, He put up a great effort though. I guess Aiken's the first to leave the island." Nire thinks to herself again.

Aiken life points drop down to 4950. Aiken draws a card. "Wait its not over! I can't Belive I drew it! I got Another Legendary ocean!" Aiken says as he jumps up. "I play Legendary ocean! That takes your Panthers attack down to 2800! I can Tie that much! I'll Tribute a Sujin for my Leiva Dragon! Who was 2600 plus another 200 for my Ocean the same as your Panther!" Aiken says

"Your an Idiot Aiken! Did you Forget about that Sword it powers your monster down 500! Your only at 2300 attack!" Nire yells

"What!" Aiken says back Stunned.

Joey begins to Laugh. "Don't Laugh Joey! Watch out Leiva Dragon is very powerful but removing his Legendary ocean from the field Leiva Dragon can destroy every card on the field but himself!" Yugi yells out to Joey

"Wha.. WHAT!" Aiken, Joey and Nire yell out at the same time.

"I can Do that... YES!" Aiken says as he removes the card from the field. A giant wave of water destroys everything only the Leiva Dragon is left standing. "Leiva Dragon Direct attack for 2600!" Aiken says and watching Joey's life points drop to 800.

Joey draws a card. "No... You win Aiken. I surrender I can't beat a monster with that much strength." Joey says and walks over to Aiken. Joey passes Aiken a card with his name on it.
"There and now pick a card from my deck to have." Joey says and Shows Aiken the deck.

"No, I can't Joey... I only won because of your Friend. I didn't know I could even do that." Aiken says and cracks a smile.

"Hey you didn't call me a dog or a little puppy!" Joey says and looks at Aiken.

"Your such a freak... I think you like being called a dog. Dog-boy!" Aiken Taunts back.

Aiken and Joey laugh then Joey turns to Yugi. "So you lost my the duel huh!" Joey says as he puts Yugi in a head lock and starts messing with his hair.

"Aiken... I'm Proud of you, you really can duel. I'm sorry" Nire says to Aiken

"Sorry enough to give me a nice big kiss?" Aiken says as he puts his arm around Nire.

"Don't even think about it." Nire says and backs playfully hits Aiken in the arm. "Maybe if you can defeat me in the finals, or my Bakura" Nire says and begins laughing.
