[TAoB](Mid/High) Journey to the island 1

A man in his late 20s was standing in front of a window of a ship looking at the endless blue ocean in front of him. The man didn't seem very impressive, he wasn't tall or muscular. The colours of the clothes he wore were starting to fade and they looked somewhat stretched. The shirt he was wearing was very light blue, however it was clear it once had a much brighter color which had a print of multiple playing cards. Further more he wore normal jeans and a pair of normal shoes which noses were almost worn out. His light brown hair was messy like he just woke up and didn't bother doing anything about his hair. As the man was looking out of the window, the door behind him swung open with a loud screech. A man in a suit was the one who had opened the door and seemed to be the polar opposite to the one  looking out of the window. He was tall, muscular and and looked like he cared what people thought about him. The suit looked like it was made for this man which made him look even more impressive. His voice echoed throughout the room as he spoke, it was a deep somewhat hoarse voice.
"Hey Anthony, how long do you think you can just stay around here? You know that we'll be arriving shortly, if it weren't for me I'm positive you'd still be on the island."
The man turned around with a carefree smile on his face as if the words didn't phase him and sighed. "I know, I know. You don't have to keep reminding me every time you get the chance Dirk. What were you doing anyway, you also almost missed the boat. That's very unlike you." Anthony replied with a playful tone in his voice his voice was fairly neutral, almost no emotion that he didn't want to could be heard from his tone. Although he sometimes spoke a bit too fast and a syllable was lost, other than that there wasn't anything special about his voice.
"Yeah, that's right. However after noticing that you weren't on the ship 30 minutes before we were going to depart I decided to go looking for you, since knowing you the chance of you missing the boat was high. You might've defeated me in tournaments before, however your behavior outside the tournaments aren't anything but unprofessional." Dirk said with a sharp tone in his voice.
Anthony chuckled nervously "You've got a point there, however how could I stay focused while I was thinking about all the children who will go to this school?" He said with excitement in his voice.
Dirk started to calm down a bit and sighed. "I get where you're coming from, however you should REALLY mind the time." He took a quick glance at his watch. "Hmm. we're not scheduled to arrive for another 30 minutes." As soon as his sentence ended a sly grin appeared on his face and asked "Wanna play?"
"You still gotta ask?" Anthony replied without thinking in a playful tone. "So wanna play for real or just for fun?"
Dirk's grin grew wider. "You still gotta ask?" He said in a similar tone to Anthony.

"Well then, seeing how you challenged me, I'll begin. My turn. Draw! Hmm..." As soon as the duel began Anthony seemed to change, his personality and the vibe he had changed in a snap. From easy-going and lazy to completely focused and serious. "I set a monster and end my turn." Anthony's voice seemed deeper and could easily be heard throughout the entire room, due to the confidence that was behind the voice. He made a simple hand gesture at the end of his turn signifying Dirk could go.
Dirk looked at Anthony to see if he could read a bluff from his face but nothing was showing. "Okay then, my turn. Draw! It's best to have a strong start, and hope you've got nothing there. I normal summon witch's apprentice and activate Yami. My monster now has 1250 attack. Battle phase. My monster attacks your set one."
Anthony flipped the monster and grinned. "Too bad, Armail has 1300 defense. Take 50 damage."
Dirk's face was completely calm however he wasn't. 'A monster with 1300 defense, really?! I would've prefered a mystical elf over that." He sighed. "Well that's everything I can do for now. Your turn."
"Well then." Anthony said with an excited voice. "This is where things get interesting. Draw! I tribute my armail to tribute summon lava battleguard in attack mode."
Dirk's face twitched for a second. "Lava Battleguard huh, that's a pretty good card. Was it your recommendation?"
"Uhuh, anyway Lava Battleguard attacks your witch."
Dirk sighed and put his monster in the graveyard "I take 300 points of damage."
"Well then I think I'll leave it at that for now. Your turn. Let's see if you can draw a card that can combat my Lava Battleguard."
Dirk drew a card. 'Exactly the card I was waiting for.' He set the card he just drew and 2 cards in his spell and trap card zone and passed the turn to Anthony.
"Ah you bastard, you know I don't know these decks by heart." Anthony exclaimed. "Ah well, nothing I can do about it. Draw! Exactly what I needed. I equip legendary sword to my Lava Battleguard which boosts his attack and defense by 300 points and I attack your face down."
Dirk smiled. "Sorry, it's a Mystical Elf and with Yami her defense is 2200, you'll be taking 350 points of damage now."
"Is this your definition in fun, tying the lifepoints with your oppon-" As he started looking back at his cards he'd noticed the time. "Sorry I have to leave."
"Afraid you might lose because you can't get over my monster?" Dirk said with a wide smile on his face.
"No, well actually yes. However that's not the point. We'll be arriving shortly, and I doubt people want to see me wearing this." He gestured to his outfit.
Dirk sighed. "For once you're right. Go, you might still have enough time to fix everything." He said in a playful tone.

About 20 minutes later 2 men were standing on the ship, both wearing suits. As the wind was blowing rather strongly they were looking at the harbor which was getting closer and closer. "You ready for this Anthony?" Dirk asked. Anthony nodded, if one were to compare how he looked before and now no one would believe it was the same person. His hair was neatly combed, he wore a well tailored suit which made him look taller and bigger than he actually was. He sighed. "I hope people will show up and don't think it's some sort of prank."
"Don't you worry about that." Dirk exclaimed. "We've got perfectly credible financial backers who surely have promoted the hell out of this school." A security guard came running towards them. "Mister Deon, mister Bobson, please come inside for your own safety we're about to dock." With that they walked inside and waited until the docking was complete.

About 15 minutes later a small desk was put next to the entrance to the ship where Anthony sat and Dirk was inspecting everything on the ship hoping everything was in order.

"Since you annoy me so I'll be going first. I draw! I'll start this duel off by summon Koumori Dragon in attack mode and end my turn."
"Quite the charming attitude you have. Draw. Hmmm, i guess i will set a card, and place another one down. I'll end my turn there."
"Uneventful. I draw. Now I will summon Baby Dragon in attack position. Next my Koumori dragon will attack your face down and baby dragon will hit you with a direct attack. Now I end my turn."
"Draw. These hands. Hmmm, i guess there is not much i can do, but hope for next round. Ill play red medicine and end my turn." Jasper leaned on the dueling board, with a smile on his face despite knowing that this duel was most likely decided.
Lydia smirked as she drew her next card, "I activate my field spell Mountain and summon a second Koumori Dragon. Now all three of my dragons will attack your life points directly! Your move."
"Draw. He looked at his hand." Its quite a shame really. Having all these nice monsters and not being able to summon them. Not to mention this lovely Tri-Horned dragon." He showed the girl the card with his right hand. "But i guess that's just how this game goes. Ill set 1 monster, then activate sparks, and end my turn there."
Lydia's eyes widen briefly at seeing the powerful monster that would work so very well in her deck but quickly refocused and drew a card. "Impressive card, I'd very much like to have a copy myself. You must have pulled it from your free booster pack if I'm not mistaken. "
"Ya, though it doesn't really have that much impact on the deck i chose....though it seems that it would work perfectly with yours. Having a monster this powerful would surely be able to make your way up to joker purple a hell of a lot easier."
"Indeed it would, we may need to discuss trade options after the duel. Speaking of it is time to end it. I wont be winning with less than 8000 life points so I'll start off by activating Red Medicine. Then I will summon another Baby Dragon in attack mode and attack you, my Koumori Dragon will attack first followed by the rest of my monsters."
As the dragon attacked the face down card, a germ appeared." It seems you activated my germs effect, so that's 500 damage, and i will also be suing its other effect to summon 2 more germs from my deck in attack mode."
"Seems I spoke too soon. No matter the duel is still at it's end. I will continue with my attacks. Koumori and baby dragon destroy his germs, the second baby dragon will attack you directly."
Jasper looked up at the girl. He didn't seem fazed by the loss, there was nothing he could do, so there was no reason to get mad at himself. "Well it seems that i have lost. To bad i couldn't make any plays. But on the bright side u didn't win with more then 8000, so I guess that's a win for me. Jasper drew his next card to see if it could make a difference. He showed the girl. "Metal Guardian, lvl 5 what a shame." Jasper took his deck and put it back in its holster.
Collecting her deck Lydia left the duel ring and walked around to Jasper's side, "Now, about that Tri-Horned Dragon. What would you want for it?"

"Alright. Duel. Since you went first last time it is only fair that i go. Ill start by setting 1 card face down, and then set a monster. Your turn.
"Alright then, my turn now, I draw. I activate De-spell and target the set card in your backrow. "
"Oh the Irony."
"Heh. Next I summon Winged Dragon, Guarian of the fortress in attack position and I attack your face down monster. With that I'll end my turn."
"Becasue germ was destroyed, you take 500 damage, and ill chose not to use its effect. Draw. Ill set 1 monster and end my turn."
Lydia frowned when Jasper didn't use the effect of his Giant Germ as she drew her next card, "Alright then.. I summon Koumori Dragon in attack mode and attack your face down with Winged Dragon." When that attack failed she destroyed it with Koumori and passed the turn to Jasper.
"Did'nt go as planned hu.Draw. I'll set 1 card face down and end my turn."
"Seems like you're not having much luck this duel either, I'll summon the second Koumori Dragon I just drew and attack your face down with it."
"I activate the effect of bite shoes, and change koumori dragon to defense mode."
"fine by me, my Winged Dragon can still attack you directly, and I'll end my turn there."
"Draw.My word. You know im just going to save you the trouble. I'll foriet, No way i can beat monsters like those with the cards at my disposle. I guess we might as well continue with the trade."
