Alexis knocked on the door of Sartorius's office. He had told her that he had something of utmost importance to discuss.
After a few seconds of silence, Sartorius told Alexis that she could walk in the room. He did not ask who was knocking. But then again, Sartorius could see everything, so he most likely had no need to ask.
Sartorius were sitting at his table when Alexis entered the room. He was intently gazing at his tarot cards, just like he usually did.
"So, Jaden has taken Chazz away from the Light, has he?" Sartorius abruptly asked Alexis, without looking up from the cards.
"Yes Master Sartorius," replied Alexis. She knew better than to be taken aback by his seemingly rude behavior.
" I see. Go attend to your duties. I must see if there is someone we have recruited that can beat Jaden," said Sartorius as he shuffled his cards.
"Yes Master," said Alexis. She bowed and left the room, taking care to shut the door behind her.
When Sartorius was alone, he diverted his full attention back to his tarot deck. He laid three cards on the table, then flipped the middle one.
" Ah, it is the Reaper of Souls," remarked Sartorius to no one in particular, "It is upright so Jaden will be defeated. But by whom?"
He then flipped the left card and saw The Magician, "One who has seen the light but still has their willpower. I must call a meeting to find The Magician," said Sartorius.

While Sartorius was pondering this latest turn of events, Bastion was in his room. The white walls of the room were covered in formulas for building a better deck.
"Yes! This new deck is perfect! Not only will Jaden not be able to defeat me, neither will Aster!" exclaimed Bastion.
Unfortunately, Bastion had left the door to his room ajar. A random Society member happened to be walking down the hall and heard this exuberant shout. When he found the source of the noise, he was shocked and appalled at Bastion's . . . redecoration.
"Bastion, I-WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THE PERFECT WHITE WALLS?" the random person shouted. It was so loud that Sartorius heard it all the way from his office.
"I am sorry, it's just that I have no notebooks and it is a habit I have had since I was young. Please don't tell Sartorius," Bastion said trying to calm down the society member.
"It's too late Bastion, I already know," said Sartorius, as he had decided to see just who was distracting him from his work. He had walked so quietly down the hall, it was like he had appeared out of thin air.
"I'm sorry I failed to keep this idiot from defiling this room, Master," said the random member.
"Go to the meeting hall and tell the others I have an announcement to make. Right now I need to speak with Bastion," said Sartorius.
Bastion held his head, fearing the worst, as the random member scurried off to do Sartorius's bidding. 'Sartorius will kick me out of the Society, then I won't belong anywhere,' Bastion thought.
"Now Bastion there is no need to fear me. I would never harm you or send you away for trying to better yourself for the light," said Sartorius.
'So this is The Magician. I must have been too focused with duelists who had special abilities that I never thought that one with no spiritual abilities would be able to beat Jaden,' thought Sartorius.
"I am not in trouble?" asked Bastion.
"No, in fact I am pleased with your resourcefulness to your problem. If you want, I can have some of the others repaint these walls and you can have Chazz's old room, "said Sartorius with a slight smirk.
"But Master Sartorius what have I done to deserve this treatment?" asked Bastion.
"Nothing yet Bastion, but soon you will lead Jaden and many others into The Light!" exclaimed Sartorius.
'Wow, Master Sartorius sure has a lot of faith in me. I will try my hardest not to let him or the light down,' thought Bastion.
"Now, shall we go to the meeting hall? I think many of the others need to learn to respect you Bastion," said Sartorius.
"Why Master?" Bastion asked as they left the room.
"Because as of this moment you are taking Chazz's place as my second-in-command," said Sartorius.
"Are you serious, Master Sartorius?" asked Bastion.
"Yes, Bastion. Destiny has shown me that you have much more talent than Chazz ever had," Sartorius explained.
"I will do what you, the Light, and destiny want me to do," vowed Bastion as he and Sartorius walked through the double doors leading them to the meeting hall.
"ALL HAIL MASTER SARTORIUS AND THE LIGHT!" yelled the members in the meeting hall.
"Thank you all," said Sartorius, "Now, not all of you know this, but Chazz Princeton has betrayed the Light of Destiny."
"That jerk!" "How could he?" "He is not deserving of the Light." were some of the comments the Society members made.
"But fear not. Destiny has shown me someone that will be able to take his place. Like before you will answer to this person if I am not around," explained Sartorius.
"Who is it, Master?" asked Alexis.
"The fine boy beside you, Bastion Misawa," said Sartorius," He will show Jaden and many others the light."
"BASTION! BASTION!" the society obediently chanted.
"Are you sure that was a wise choice, Master?" asked Alexis while the rest of the Society of Light cheered for Bastion.
"He has come closer to beating Jaden than anyone. With the Light of Destiny on his side, there is nothing he cannot do," said Sartorius with a smirk.
