Summary: Bastion receives a mysterious package and is sent back into past. Now he tries to change the past so ordinary duelists will have a chance to shine.
Chapter 1: Bastion's Anger
Bastion was angrily writing dueling formulas on his walls. For the past two years Bastion had been pushed aside to the shadows because of Chazz and Jaden, two duelists who see duel spirits. It burned him up inside that ordinary duelists like himself would be forever be pushed to the side by those who could see and have duel spirits.
But now it was his time to shine as he begun to construct his deck. Bastion knew if he could defeat Sartorius then those who could not see duel spirits would have chance to rise again like in the old days of dueling. Bastion had done intense research about those who could see duel spirits. It took many months but finally he came across an old book that was written by Yugi Muto about how few people started to gain the ability to see duel spirits.
"Before the "Waking of the Dragons" the ability to see duel spirits was about a one in a million chance of happening. But during the second 'War of Atlantis' the spirits in The Dominion of the Beasts realized that future heroes would need an edge over those who wanted to wipe out humanity and those who wanted World Domination. So they decided to send a few of themselves into our world and then those spirits would guide their chosen duelist to victory over all opponents."
The Book went on to tell about how Yugi and his friends his friends defeated the King of Atlantis who had been corrupted by an evil power. It was then Bastion realized how those who could see duel spirits had come into power. Bastion knew if Yugi had been defeated back then those who could not see duel spirits would be praised instead.
He just finished making his ultimate deck and he held it and yelled triumphantly. "It's Alive! It's Alive! I've created the perfect deck! It's absolutely flawless!" Bastion yelled with pride. Then he noticed a shadow outside his window. He turned but the shadow was gone. "Is someone there?" Bastion called out thinking that the person was hiding. Then he noticed a package on his balcony. Bastion went outside and brought the package in. He unwrapped it and found a note and a small box. He read the note first.
Dear Bastion
I know that Chancellor Sheppard has abandoned those who cannot see duel spirits as failures. I know you plan to change that. To help you with your goals I give you this gift. It is a power that almost beat Yugi Muto, the King of Games. Use it well.
A Friend
Curiously, Bastion opened the box and found a small, round, green stone like gem in it. As soon as Bastion took the gem from the box he felt power surge through his body but too soon the power became too much for him and he let out a scream as a strange seal appeared around him on the floor. Suddenly Bastion completely vanished from his room and the green pillar of light vanished as well.
Outside the sky lit up with multi-colored Aurora lights. From Bastion's room a beam of green light shot up to the sky. All over the world people saw the Aurora light and feared what happened 12 years ago would happen again. All except a few people.
'So the time has finally come for me to meet him,' a young man with blonde hair thought as he saw the lights in the sky.
'So the package reached young Bastion. I hope young Chumley will not be too upset with me. But Bastion-boy must be allowed to reach his full potential,' a man with silver hair thought as he took a sip from a cup of tea.
'So that punk Aster can follow directions, it was worth making sure Serena's body and mind are safe for now,' a man with brown hair thought. A young man with long black hair was standing beside him as the both looked at the lights from their yacht that was nearing Duel Academy.
'It's time. Thank you friend for looking after my grandpa, now it's my turn to help you,' a young man with spiky, multi-colored thought as he saw the lights.

Suddenly Bastion appeared in building meeting room where three biker looking teens were having a meeting with a man with green hair.
"Master Dartz! What's going on?" asked one of the teens. He was the tallest of the biker teens with blonde hair.
"I do not know Rafael. But we shall soon find out," the man with green hair answered.
Soon the seal on the floor around Bastion vanished as the gem in his hand cracked in two. Slowly Bastion looked around and saw that he wasn't in his room anymore.
"Who are you young man and how did you get here?" and he saw a very regal looking man sitting down behind a desk and three older men standing around it. His eyes seemed to pierce Bastion and see right into his very soul. They were creepy, one gold and one green.
"I'm sorry sir. I'm not sure how I got here. My name is Bastion Misawa. I was in my dorm room and found a package on the balcony. A letter said that what was in it almost defeated Yugi," Bastion held up the stone pieces and the man's eyes widened.
"Continue, what happened when you held it?" he asked.
"It…it began to glow and filled me with some sort of power until I couldn't take it anymore and then I was transported here in a beam of green light," said Bastion.
"I see. Bastion, do you know where you are?" asked the man.
"No sir."
"You are in Paradias Corp. I'm Dartz, the President. I assume you've heard of Paradias," he said after Bastion gasped.
"Yes sir… I have," he managed to say.
"Tell me Bastion, are you from another time?" asked Dartz, taking a guess based off Bastion's reaction.
"Yes sir. Twelve years in the future. I'm only a child now, in this time, said Bastion.
"Have you heard of the Doom Squad?" Dartz asked.
"Yes, they were Rafael, Valon and Alistair, they're them aren't they?" asked Bastion, looking at the three men standing there.
"Yes. Bastion, the stone you hold is an Orichalcos stone, what my Bikers and I use to use the card The Seal of Orichalcos. If you have one then you must have been destined to come to us. I will let you join us, if you defeat Rafael in a duel. I need to know what you are capable of," said Dartz.
"Well, I, I'm not sure…" Bastion hesitated.
"Bastion, come with me," said Dartz and stood up and went into the room on the left and Bastion followed him, not wanting to anger the man.
The room that they were in was nice; it gave the feeling of warmth and comfort. "Please sit Bastion."
Bastion did so and Dartz sat opposite him, "Now Bastion, if you'll let me I can look into your past and see why you were so troubled that you were brought here. I have done this before. The boys outside, Alistair, Valon and Rafael, they have all been abandoned by the world. I'm the only one who understands them. We're a family, you can be part of it too, if you let me in and then duel Rafael," said Dartz. He may not have known Bastion's past yet but he knew Bastion was hurting, had a strong soul and would be valuable to him.
Bastion swallowed and then nodded, 'A family? I wonder what it is like,' he thought and then on Dartz's instruction relaxed and allowed him to look at his past.
'This boy has so much pain and has suffered much throughout his life. I can use him to win against the Pharaoh,' thought Dartz and then pulled out of Bastion's mind. "You poor boy, you've had a terrible life. I can see that you need a family and if you duel Rafael, you'll be able to be part of ours.
Bastion hesitated but then nodded, he wanted a family.
They emerged from the room and Dartz spoke, "Bastion has agreed to Duel you Rafael, do not use the Seal of Orichalcos in your duel with him understand?"
"Yes Master Dartz," said Rafael, looking at the boy. 'What makes him so special?' he wondered.
"Up to the roof, now," said Dartz and they all went up to the roof. Bastion was given a Duel Disk and then the Duel began.
"LET"S DUEL!"
B: 4000
R: 4000
"I'll let you go first kid," said Rafael.
"Thank you and the name is Bastion. I draw and I summon Hydrogeddon in attack mode and then I'll play one card face down and end my turn," said Bastion. (H 1600/1000)
"The name's Rafael, I play the Equip Spell, Butterfly Dagger – Elma, now I can summon Guardian Elma to the field in attack mode and equip her with my spell. When Elma is equipped with my dagger she gains three hundred attack points, then I'll set a card facedown and end my turn," said Rafael. (GE 1300/1200 – 1600/1200)
"So it's true, you use the Guardians. Well I already know how to defeat you Rafael," said Bastion drawing his card.
"What?"
"You see your deck has a major flaw, your monsters rely on spell cards in order to be summoned, take away that part of the equation and your deck will fail you. Now I play Pot of Greed, so I can draw two more cards. Now I summon Oxygeddon to the field in attack mode," said Bastion (O 1800/800)
"Now I play Mystical Space Typhoon, now your Dagger is destroyed. Oxygeddon, destroy Guardian Elma!" commanded Bastion. (GE 1600/1200-1300/1200)
"No, Elma!" cried Rafael.
B: 4000
R: 3500
"Now, Hydrogeddon, attack Rafael's life points directly!" said Bastion.
"I don't think so; you destroyed Elma so now I can activate my facedown, a Quick-Play called Aid to the Doomed, I can now send two cards from my hand to the graveyard to end your turn," said Rafael.
"Clever, alright then, I end my turn," said Bastion.
"I play the Equip Spell Shooting Star Bow – Ceal and now I can normal summon Guardian Ceal to the field in attack mode. When he's equipped with Star bow he loses one thousand attack points but he can attack your life points directly. Go, Ceal!" (GC 1700/1400 – 700/1400)
Bastion clenched his teeth but at least his monsters weren't being destroyed.
B: 3300
R: 3500
"I'll play Monster Reincarnation, so now I'll discard a card and bring back one monster from my grave to my hand, my Guardian Elma. I'll play a facedown and end my turn," said Rafael.
"I draw and I summon another Hydrogeddon in attack mode. Now Rafael, I hope you know your chemistry. I play my Spell card, Bonding - H2O, by tributing two Hydrogeddons and one Oxygeddon I can Special Summon the all powerful Water Dragon!" said Bastion and the mighty dragon he was the master of appeared on the field. (WD 2800/2600)
"When this card is face-up on the field all Fire and Pyro type monsters attack points are reduced to zero," explained Bastion.
"My Ceal is a Fire type, oh no, that means…"
"Correct Rafael," smirked Bastion, he was playing hardball; just because he was older than him didn't mean that he was going to allow himself to be pushed around. (GC 0/1400)
"Now Water Dragon, destroy his Ceal!" commanded Bastion.
"No, I won't let you destroy him. I activate my facedown, Self Tribute. I can activate this card only if one or more of my monsters would be destroyed. I pay a thousand life points and the monster you target can't be destroyed this turn," said Rafael.
B: 3300
R: 2500
"Alright then I play a facedown and end my turn," said Bastion.
"It's my move and if I have no monsters in my graveyard I can special summon my favourite monster from my hand, Guardian Eatos in attack mode. I'll now equip her with Celestial Sword – Eatos and this gives her three hundred extra attack points and during my battle phase she can attack all of your monsters once each but she can't attack you directly. (GE 2500/2000 – 2800/2000)
"Well now our monsters have the same number of attack points and I doubt you'll attack as Eatos will be destroyed if you do," said Bastion.
"That's true but by sending one Equip Spell equipped to Eatos to my graveyard I can target up to three monsters in your graveyard and remove them from play and Eatos gains five hundred attack points for each monster removed until the End Phase, so now I send Celestial Sword to the grave and now your monsters that you used to create your dragon are removed from the game," said Rafael. (GE 2800/2000 – 2500/2000 – 4000/2000)
"This is not good," said Bastion, removing his cards. He couldn't activate Water Dragon's other effect now!
"You're right, it's not, Eatos, destroy Water Dragon!"
"Yes Master," she said.
"You have a Duel Spirit!" exclaimed Bastion and then his look turned to one of hatred and Water Dragon was destroyed.
B: 1200
R: 2500
"Yes, why?" asked Rafael.
"I hate Duelists with Duel Spirits! They ruined my life and no regular duelist ever has a chance to shine!" yelled Bastion, there was hatred in his heart and Dartz could see that.
'He will make a wonderful addition to us,' he thought.
"I end my turn," said Rafael. (GE 4000/2000 – 2500/2000)
"I draw! I play Graceful Charity, now I can draw three cards and discard two of them. I summon Mathematician in attack mode, when he's summoned I can send one card from the top of my deck to my grave and when he's destroyed by battle I can draw one card and now I activate my facedown, Ring of Defense. It's a good thing too, for I play Ring of Destruction! I can now destroy one face-up monster card and inflict direct damage equal to the destroyed cards attack points to both our life points. I choose Guardian Eatos!"
"You'll lose too!" exclaimed Rafael.
"No I won't, I have Ring of Defense on the field remember and all damage I get will become zero."
"No, Eatos!" cried Rafael in despair as his favourite monster was destroyed; he had nothing to save her.
B: 1200
R: 0
"Well done Bastion," clapped Dartz and walked towards the two duelists. "Well done Rafael, you tested him and pushed him to his limits, although you're capable of much more, aren't you Bastion?"
"Yes sir," said Bastion.
"You have proven yourself, now see if the Stone of the Orichalcos will accept you, if it will make you one of us and allow you to be a part of our family, a family who knows what you're going through, who wants to help you," said Dartz and held out a stone. Bastion took it and then cried out in pain as the stone's power flowed through him. He could feel it coursing through his body and screamed, he wanted it to stop but he wanted revenge on the duelist that made his misery in the future possible, Yugi Moto. He grasped the stone and wouldn't let go. The power soon subsided and Bastion stood there with his head down.
"How do you feel?" asked Dartz and Bastion raised his head and they all saw the seal on his forehead and his eyes with a tint of red in them.
"Better than ever Master Dartz," said Bastion and grinned a wicked grin, Bastion was fully under the control of the Orichalcos and Dartz smiled.
"Good. Welcome to our little family Bastion," Dartz said with a smirk.
"Good for you kiddo, I'm Valon, if you ever need anything you can come to me," Valon said with a smirk as he put his arm around Bastion's shoulders.
"Heh, I bet you were too pathetic for your own family, that's why the seal sent you back," Alistair said cruelly.
"Watch your mouth! For your information my family is dead. Murdered by a mad man," Bastion said as he touched his neck as if something was there. This new info shocked Alistair.
"Sorry. I didn't know," Alistair said knowing what Bastion was going through. Bastion nodded at the apology.
Rafael looked at Bastion with disgust, "Listen punk, just because you have fooled Master Dartz doesn't mean you get anywhere with me," Rafael said as he walked away. He was sore from losing to a teen that looked like he was going to become Master Dartz's favourite.
"That makes two of us," Bastion said as he watched Rafael walk off.
Don't worry about Raf, mate, he'll get used to ya soon enough," said Valon but somehow Bastion doubted this.
