"Oh great match Aiken-boy." Pegasus says and claps. "But now its time for the next match between, Keith and Genso V.S Kitten and Kimiko" Pegasus announces.

"Lets make this quick, old man." Genso says to Keith as he walks up to the duel platform.

"Little punk, I'm the American champ!" Keith says as he grunts at Genso then walks into the duel platform.

"Yay! It's time to duel!" Kitten says as she runs up to the platform and giggles.

"Lets get it over with." Kimiko says.

"Can I start this match pretty pretty please?" Kitten says and looks at everyone.

"Fine…" Genso and Keith say

"Okay." Kitten says and turns her head and smiles as she draws. "I'll summon my cute Little Cat's Ear Tribe to attack mode." Kitten says and giggles, as three small cats appear wearing armor.

"Her monster only has 200 attack power… She's worst then me at this game" Aiken says and stares at the cats.

"I'll go next." Keith says and draws his cards.

"More Machine type monsters huh." Riot says and looks at Keith "Don't be a copy-cat now" Riot says and smirks

"Machines are useless… I have a new deck for this tournament." Keith says and smiles "I'll summon my Sonic Bird to attack mode!" Keith says as a bird with a jet pack on its back appears. "This monster also lets be search my deck for a ritual magic card and add it to my hand." Keith says and adds a card from his deck to say hand.

"My move!" Kimiko says and draws a card. "I'll summon my Nin-kin Dog to attack mode!" Kimiko says as a Dog wearing a ninja suit appears. "Now I'll activate the Magic card Rising air current! Which powers up all wind monsters on the field 500 attack." Kimiko says as her monsters attack rises to 2300.

"Heh." Genso says and draws. "I'll activate my Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your rising air current!" Genso says as Kimiko's rising air current gets destroyed. "Next I'll summon my all powerful Goblin attack force to attack mode!" Genso say, as a large group of goblins appear all carrying clubs.

"…He never even tributed for a power with 2300 attack points. He must be Cheatin' " Aiken says and looks at the monster.

"He's monster switches to defense mode after it attack and says in defense mode the next turn too. And it only has 0 defense." Nire explains

"So basically… He monster can attack then it goes to protect his life points… Sounds like he's hiding behind his monsters to me. Poor Little Genso must be afraid of getting hurt." Aiken taunts.

"Shut up! Goblins destroy Nin-kin Dog now!" Genso yells as His goblins charge at Nin-kin dog and smash it different angles. Then Kimiko's life points drop to 5500 and Genso's monster switches to defense mode. "Now I'll set two cards face down." Genso says then glares at Aiken in the crowd.

"Ahhhh look at him, switching into defense! Scared that he might get attacked" Aiken yells up.

Genso grunts again, and looks at Aiken. "Just watch." Genso says and turns back to the match.

Kitten giggles and draws her card. "Now I'll summon my Dancing Fairies to attack mode." Kitten says as three small fairies appear and start dancing around with each other. "Arn't they so cute." Kitten says and giggles. "Now I'll set a card facedown, and that's my turn." Kitten says and smiles.

"My turn!" Keith says and draws his card as a smirk wipes across his face. "This duel is over! I'll summon my Senju of the thousand hands to attack mode!" Keith says as a monster appears then punches and its looks like a thousand hands appear. "This monster lets me take a Ritual monster card from my deck and add it to my hand. Now I can play it! It's my Black Luster Ritual!" Keith says as an Alter appears in front of them. "I'll sacrifice my Crab Turtle from my hand, to summon my Black Luster Soldier!" Keith says as a Sword falls from the sky onto the field. Then from the Alter a soldier wearing blue armor appears jumps unto the sky and grabs the sword.

"…I wish my monsters made a cool entrance like that." Aiken says and sighs.

"Now My Black Luster Soldier attack and destroy Kitten's Dancing Fairies!" Keith says out as his soldier rushes into battle and throws its sword into the air then jumps up to catch it then comes down and chops the fairies in half. "And say goodbye to 1300 life points." Keith says and laughs.

"You're a big meanie you know that." Kitten says and looks angry

"I'm not done yet! Sonic Bird attack her Cat's ear tribe!" Keith says as his sonic bird aims at the Cat's ear tribe and starts its jet pack, then charges head first at the cats.

"Stop stop stop! I'm going to play my Magic card…. It's called graceful dice. Depending on what I roll my attack power goes up. " Kitten says as a blue dice appears and rolls. "Yay I got a two. That means my attack power goes up by 200." Kitten says

"But isn't her monster still a lot weaker then the sonic bird?" Aiken asks

"Yeah… But never trust a monster… Most monster have effects that can be deadly" Nire says and looks back on the duel.

The Sonic bird charges into the Cat's and the cat's simply claws the bird and it dies. "But how... Damn little punk!" Keith yells out as his life points drop down to 5800

"He He, Aren't my Kitties cute." Kitten says with a smiles as he cat's start playing with a ball of yarn.

"How the hell... Her monster only had 400 attack and sonic bird had 1400... Shouldn't she me like crying cause her cat's should be dead...?" Aiken asks looking rather confused.

"Oh your silly... My monsters reduce any monsters attack how attack them down to 200, so it can be a nice fair fight." Kitten says and giggles.

"If She keeps up that annoying giggling I'm going to hurt her... Badly" Nire says and glares an Kitten.

"Fine... I'll end my turn here then." Keith says

"Draw!" Kimiko says and draws her card. "Time to draw down your life points Genso! I'll summon Harpies Brother to attack mode and equip it with my Fairy Meteor Crush! So I can attack through your pathic defense!" Kimiko says as a Hawk like man appears with a Large red claw attacked to his arm.

"Harpies... But they're mine... Copycat" Mai says and snerks

"Heh, Just as I expected... Walked right into my trap! Reveal face down card Final Attack orders! This card forces all face up monsters to go into attack mode and stay there no matter what!" Genso explains as he trap left's up and all his goblins go back to attack mode. "Am I still running now!" Genso says and looks at Aiken.

Aiken looks at Genso and mumbles "Showoff"

"They're a major Flaw in that plan! We can still play face down defense so I'll activate book of Moon to put my monster into face down defense!" Kimiko says and laughs

"Not so fast to that Either! I'll activate Light of Intervention! This forces all monsters to be played face up and not be able to go facedown!" Genso explains as his other card lifts up.

"Damn... I'll just attack Keith's Senju then!" Kimiko says and she orders her monster to attack Senju. Harpie's Brother flys high into the air then Slashes down the Senju with its lightning speed.

"Arg!" Keith yells as his Life points drop down to 5400. "What is this pick of Keith day?" Keith says and fixes his sunglasses

"My move" Genso says as he draws his card. "I'll summon my Giant Orc to attack mode!" Genso yells as an Orge like monster appears carrying a Bone "Giant Orc attack Kimiko's Harpie and then Goblins attack Her Directly!" Genso says and points at Kimiko. Genso's Orc takes its Bone club and smashes in against the Harpie's brother destroying it and then the Goblins all all Kimiko at once.

"Not bad..." Kimiko says as her life points drop down to 2800 "But I've seen better" She then says

"Yay my turn again!" Kitten says and draws her card. "Oh look I still can't belive you killed my Fairies don't you think that was mean... But sence they're dead I'll remove them from play so I can't special summon my Silpheed, but then Silpheed is weal so I'll sacrifice both Silpheed and my cat's for my more powerful Wingweaver!" Kitten says and a Bright Light comes down from the sky and an Angel with six wings and purple hair slowly lowers down to the field.

"Wingweaver... Is that strong? It made a cool entrance" Aiken says as he looks at it.

"How can someone so dense summon a monster that powerful..." Nire says and looks at it

"My monsters attack it still only 2750... your Solder could easily Kill it Mr.Keith. So I'll have to equip my Wingweaver with the Silver bow and arrow magic card. That will power her up to 3050" Kitten says and smiles. As her monsters grabs a Bow and arrows from the air. "Now Wingweaver shoot down his Annoying Soldier and 50 of his life points." Kitten says and watches her monster shoot a arrow of light through Black Luster Solder.

Keith life points drop down to 5350 as he draws his next card. "This match is over! I'll Play my Manju of the ten-thousand hands! Which lets me take a ritual magic or monster!" Keith explains as he searches through his deck and takes out Black Illusion Ritual. "And I bet you all know what Black Illusion Ritual means! The almighty Relinquished!" Keith says as another alter appears infront of him. "I'll get rid of my Legendary Flame lord from my hand to summon Relinquished to the field." Keith yells out as a Large blue monsters appears and looks around at everyone with its eye shaped like the millennium eye.

"No way..." Yugi says and looks at the monster

"I though only Pegasus had that card." Joey says

"Whats the big deal... the monster only has 0 attack power! You guys are scared of everything..." Aiken says and points and laughs at the monster

"Relinquished! Absorb Kitten's Wingweaver!" Keith says as Relinquished opens two flaps on its back and sucks Wingweaver into it. Relinquished attack power then grows to 2750 and Kitten's Silver bow and arrow card gets destroyed.

"What the hell..." Riot says and looks up at the monster

"Now Relinquished and Manju destroy the rest of Kimiko's life points!" Keith says as his monsters let out a burst of energy and knock Kimiko down and her life points reduce to 0.

"And the winners are Keith and Genso" Pegasus says as they come down from the platform. "Next up is Nire and Bakura V.S Flame and Mai." Pegasus says and waits.

"Remember Bakura stick to my plan...And this should be over in two turns." Nire says and walks up to the platform

"I got it..." Bakura says and walks up then transforms into Yami Bakura

"You better not crash and burn!" Flame says and Mai and runs up the platform

"I'm more concerned about you burn-out." Mai says and walks up.

"Woo go Nire! Your the best! Booo booo Bakura! your Stink! YAY Nire, your the greatest duelist ever! You suck Bakura!" Aiken says from the crowd as the duelist are getting ready to start.

"But I though you Love'd Bakura Aiken... or at least that's what you told him." Nire says and laughs at Aiken

"AHHHH! What are you talking about! Don't talk about that! I never said anything! He's the one that said he loved me!" Aiken yells up and he starts to freak out.

"Then be good!" Nire yells back down to him

"Fine... WOO Nire!" Aiken yells up "...And Bakura" He says lighter

"So... You and Bakura huh? So Nire's Free for me to ask out?" Riot says and elbows Aiken

"If you touch my Nire I'll personally make sure you never touch anyone again!" Aiken yells and turns to Riot and yells at him more!

"Just a joke, man" Riot says and backs away from Aiken.

"I'm going to start this duel off." Yami Bakura says and draws his cards. "I'll set one card face down then summon my Newdoria to the field in attack mode." Yami Bakura says as he strange monsters appears that looks almost hunched over.

"Time to draw my Flaming hot hand!" Flame says and draws

"Now I activate my face down card! Skull Invitation! Every time a card is send to the graveyard the owner of the card loses 300 life points!" Yami Bakura says and laughs.

"So what! I'll activate my three Tremendous Fire cards on you Bakura! That drops your life points drop to 3000 all ready! Not to Hot now huh!" Flame says as Bakura life points drop down to 3000

"Heh look at you life points." Yami Bakura taunts

"Wha, they're at 4500 cause I take 500 from each of my tremendous flames." Flame says and looks at his Life points and they're at 3600

"My Skull invitation is rather powerful, so over all you brought both of us down to half lifepoints" Yami Bakura says and smiles.

"I'm not done yet! I'll summon my Solar Flare dragon to attack mode! And end my turn, causing you to lose another 500 life points!" Flame says as Bakura's Life points drop down to 2500.

"My Turn" Nire says and draws his cards. "I'll set one card face down, then a monster into face down defense mode, then I'll play my Card destruction!" Nire says and discards the rest of her hand to draw a new one, droping her life points down to 5100.

Yami Bakura discards his hand and draws a new one droping his life points down to 1300.

Flame discards his hand to draw a new one droping his lifepoints to 3000

Mai discards her and to get a new one and her life points drop down to 4500

"Woah great play... Leave your boyfriend with 1300 life points and a weak monster on the field..." Mai says and laughs

"ARG! She's not his girlfriend!" Aiken yells from the crowd!

Mai draws her card and starts her turn. "I'll summon My Cyber Harpie to attack mode!" Mai says and a Harpie Lady with armor appears. "Cyber Harpie destroy Bakura's Newdoria and take more of his lifepoints!" Mai says and laughs as he Harpie destroys Newdoria and drops Bakura's life points down to 700.

"Don't forget another 300 from his trap card!" Flame taunts and Bakura's Life drops down to 400.

"I'll activate my Coffin seller" Nire says

"Now Newdoria take effect! And Take Flame's dragon to the cardgraveyard with you!" Yami Bakura says and laughs evilly as Newdoria grabs Solar Flare dragon and drags it down into the ground.

"Plus you loose 600 life points. 300 from my coffin Seller and 300 from Bakura's Skull invitation." Nire says as Flame life points drop down to 2400

"Not bad, but not hot either." Flame says

"My turn!" Yami Bakura says and draws his card. "This Duel is ours! I'll Special summon My Dark Nercofear by removing three feinds from the graveyard!" Yami Bakura says and His beloved Nercofear appears.

"But we only set one of your monsters to the graveyard!" Mai says and looks at the monster

"And Nire set the rest there with her Card destruction." Yami Bakura explains

"That's cause Nire's soo Smart and cool. By far the best duelist in this tournament is Nire... That's why its me V.S his in the Finals were I prove I can win... Then me and Nire will get Married" Aiken says as a smirk wipes across his face.

Nire Sighs. "In your dreams Aiken..." Nire says

"My Nercofear isn't strong enough alone so I'll summon my Headless Knight to the field in attack mode!" Yami Bakura says as a Knight's Armor rises from the ground and begins to move without anyone inside. "Now Both of my monsters attack and destroy Flame!" Yami Bakura says as his monsters attack and destroy the rest of Flames lifepoints.

"Oh Yeah! Great Duel Nire!" Aiken says as the duel is over "You did sort of okay too Bakura..." Aiken then says to Bakura

"And the first round of the finals are over! Please report back here tomorrow of the next round! Where we get into some serious one on one grudge matches!" Pegasus says as he walks back into the castle.

So for the rest of the day the duelists that remain in the tournament Worked on they're decks and relaxed. Will most of them anyway, Aiken spend most of that day out laying on the beach trying to think of a way to impress Nire in his next duel. "Hmmm I have to really show her how good I am... I should dedicate my next duel to her... cept Last time that really didn't work out too well...Hmmm." Aiken thinks to himself. Aiken lay there for about another hour thinks of ways to impress Nire. Before Pegasus and Riot come running out to tell Aiken something.

"...You can't be Serious... I can't belive this happened... I have to go... Please Pegasus is they're anyway you can fly me off the island for this?" Aiken asks after the tell him

"Yes Aiken-boy... But I don't know if we can put the tournament on hold for you will have to put it to a vote with the other duelists tomorrow." Pegasus says

"Whatever... " Aiken says

"So I'll prepare a Jet to pick you up in and hour." Pegasus says to Aiken

"I'm going with him." Riot says and walks over by Aiken

"Okay" Pegasus says and walks back in the castle

"Don't worry Aiken... It'll be Okay.." Riot says and pats Aiken on the back.

"..This is next I'm going to get kicked out of the tournament... Not A lot of the remaining duelists are by best friends." Aiken says and turns to look at the ocean

Aiken and Riot got on the jet as soon as it got there and took off back to Domino City.

-----Next day-----

"Welcome Duelist... The tournament may not continue today it is up with you." Pegasus says

"We can't start yet anyway... Aiken's not down here yet" Nire says

"That's the thing... Aiken had to leave the island last night and can not return for the remainder of the week. So We can either return to the tournament without him and whomever was to face him gets to bi-pass the first round, or Everyone can have a week off to work on their decks and i well fly you off the island and back on next next... your choice." Pegasus says

"I'm a busy man! I have a company to run. He's gone lets just continue and get this over with now!" Kaiba says

"I'm not waiting a whole week for some Punk! Lets finish now!" Keith says

"I say he wait the week, Aiken work'd hard to get here!" Joey says

"A mutt like you would think that." Kaiba says and glares at Joey

"I agree with Joey, Aiken-boy started this tournament with a Lose and deserves the chance to win it." Pegasus says

"I don't want to wait..." Genso says

"Lets just wait, It must be something serious or Aiken wouldn't have left... He never even told me he was leaving" Nire says

"Looks like its down to you Bakura... wait or duel now" Pegasus says and looks at Bakura

"Lets..." Bakura says "Duel now!" Yami Bakura thinks. "What about Nire, she wants to wait we should go with her" Bakura thinks "Fine! I want to joy of beating him myself anyway" Yami Bakura thinks

"Well what is it?" Pegasus says

"Lets Wait for him" Bakura says.
