Summary: Bastion's parents come to Duel Academy and are surprised to see how much their son has changed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chancellor Sheppard was very upset. Even though Jaden had gotten Chazz back to normal, most of the students were still under Sartorius' control. Sartorius had even gotten Bastion Misawa, one of the Academy's most level-headed students, on his side. It scared Sheppard that Sartorius had Bastion on his side. Sheppard knew that Bastion had the potential to see duel spirits but Bastion had never been able to activate that ability at Duel Academy. He had allowed the duel between Jaden and Bastion to occur so Bastion could unlock his ability. Sheppard knew that if Bastion ever unlocked his true potential Sartorius would win, so he decided to call Bastion's parents to see if they would come to talk their son.

"Misawa residence," said the person on the other line.

"Yes, is this one of Bastion's parents?" asked Sheppard.

"No. My aunt and uncle are not home right now. They are at a Science Awards Ceremony. I am Bastion's cousin, Jake. Who may I ask is calling?" asked Jake.

"I am Chancellor Sheppard from Duel Academy and I need Bastion's parents to come to Duel Academy," explained Sheppard.

"I heard about you from Bastion. Is my little cousin in trouble?" asked Jake.

"No, but I am worried about him. There is a new group on campus that is called the Society of Light and Bastion has joined them," explained Sheppard.

"Damn it. I knew this would happen when my aunt took Bastion duel spirits away and replace them with regular cards," said Jake.

Chancellor Sheppard was speechless. He thought Bastion had not yet developed that ability yet.

"Are you saying that Bastion can see duel spirits?" Sheppard asked Jake.

"Yeah. Ever since he was nine he could see them. Over the next seven years he got three duel spirits. White Magician Pikeru, Mathematician, and Water Dragon," said Jake.

Sheppard was shocked. It was not unheard of to have more than one duel spirit, but to have three powerful duel spirits was amazing.

"Can you see duel spirits?" asked Sheppard.

"I sense duel spirits. But I can't see them like Bastion can," said Jake.

"Please I beg of you. Tell your aunt and uncle what I have told you and tell I will send a helicopter to pick them up in a week," said Sheppard.

"Don't worry, I'll pass on the message," said Jake.

"Also tell them to bring Bastion's duel spirits or I will not let them see their son," said Sheppard.

"Isn't that a bit harsh?" asked Jake.

"If he doesn't have his duel spirits, he may never leave the Society of Light!" said Sheppard angrily.

"Alright I'll let them know. But they may not bring the cards. They don't believe in magic," said Jake.

"Well, if they give you problems, ask them this: where do they think that Maximillion Pegasus got the idea to make Duel Monsters?" said Sheppard.

-A week later-

Duellists from all three dorms gather near the helipad as the chopper landed and two people got out and followed Crowler to the main academy building. Soon there was lots of gossip on who the two people were. Some thought they were pro duellists that came late to the tournament. Others thought they were new students. Finally Sartorius took Alexis and Bastion with him to find out about the two mystery people.

"Chancellor Sheppard, I need to ask a question. Who are the two people that have arrived at Duel Academy recently?" asked Sartorius when the trio arrived in Chancellor Sheppard's office.

"Why don't you ask them yourself, Sartorius," said Sheppard as the two new people came in from the side room.

The male looked like an older version of Bastion but with red hair and blue eyes. The female had Bastion's eye and hair colour. Both were wearing business suits.

Bastion gasped," Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Chancellor Sheppard called a week ago and told your cousin what happened to you. I can't believe you would go and embarrass us like this," said Mr. Misawa.

This made Bastion angry.

" Is that what this is about?" he demanded, " I thought you cared about me. But all you care about is being the best scientists and having a son that is just like you. But you don't get it do you? I am not you. I am part of The Society of Light for a reason. The Light has given me peace of mind, a true family, and a way to the greatest. I am no longer your child."

"Alright, Bastion. If that's the way you feel then you won't get the cards back I took from you," said Mrs. Misawa.

"What do you mean?" asked Bastion.

Mrs. Misawa took out three cards from her pocket and placed them in Bastion's hand.

"Remember these?" she asked.

Bastion gasped.

"White Magician Pikeru, Mathematician, Water Dragon. Is it really you?" he asked.

The three spirits came out of their cards. "Bastion... where are we? What kind of clothes are you wearing? Why is your hair white?" asked White Magician Pikeru.

"Still the same as ever, my card crush," Bastion said with a smile.

Sartorius was shocked. Bastion could see duel spirits. He knew had to get Bastion back to White Dorm and fill the boy with the power of The Light before he decided to leave The Society of Light.

"Come with me, Alexis, Bastion. We have much to do to prepare for the rest of tournament," said Sartorius as he and Alexis were about to leave.

But Bastion was not listening. He was focusing all his attention on his duel spirits.

"To answer your questions in order, we're at Duel Academy, this is the uniform for those in The Society of Light, and I dyed my hair white to impress Sartorius. Do you think it makes me looked disguised," said Bastion.

"I think you look like a dork," said White Magician Pikeru.

"Don't listen to her, sonny. I think you look great," said Mathematician.

Bastion just shook head and started to laugh. It wasn't a harsh laugh or a fake laugh but a happy laugh.

"After all this time you two still can't get along. I'm just so glad to see all of you," Bastion said with a smile.

"As are we Bastion. When you left to apply for Duel Academy your mom came into your room and took us away from you," said White Magician Pikeru.

"I see," said Bastion as he glared at his mom.

"So Bastion what are you going to do now that you have your duel spirits back?" asked Sheppard.

That made Bastion think of his options. He could stay at White Dorm as Sartorius' second-in-command and help him spread the Light. But right off the bat he knew Sartorius would make him see the Light like Chazz had. As much as he wanted to piss his parents off he knew he only had one choice to make.

"Chancellor Sheppard, I want to go back to being a Ra Yellow," Bastion said with conviction.

"Bastion, you traitor!" yelled Alexis.

"Ha. I was never on Sartorius' side to begin with. He didn't feel like I was worth his time until Chazz left. Even now he is more concerned with Jaden, Aster, Hassleberry, and Chazz. I am not anyone's puppet or fool," said Bastion angrily.

"That's not true Bastion," Sartorius said calmly as he reached to touch Bastion's shoulder.

"Bastion, look out! He has some sort of power in his hand!" yelled White Magician Pikeru.

As Bastion backed away from Sartorius the front door opened and Hell Zane walked in.

"So, Bastion, you have decided to stop following this fool and be a real duellist again," Zane said as he looked angrily at Sartorius.

"Are you jealous Zane that I and Bastion are chosen to see the Light?" said Alexis snobbishly.

"Hardly. Being around Sartorius just makes you a weakling," said Zane.

"If you're so sure of yourself let's duel," said Alexis.

"Fine. But after I'm finished with you you'll regret ever following Sartorius," said Zane.

Notes: In the next chapter Bastion parents have left but Bastion is still in a White uniform. (You'll find out why in the next chapter). The Zane vs. Alexis duel is a dedication to Kaisre for giving Bastion a part in her fic. (I think this writer is female but I don't know. If you are a male I'm sorry for calling you a female.) My fics will now have who I think owns Yu-Gi-Oh GX because mediaminer would not let post with my usual 'I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh Gx.
