bopdog111: Time to give Bastion some attention.
Ulrich362: True, it's been a while since he's gotten to do much.
bopdog111: And why not against two other Ra Yellows we haven't seen for a while?
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!
Jaden, Syrus, and Yosuke were running when they suddenly heard a scream.
"What the?" Syrus asked hearing that.
They ran only to see Giant Orc striking a duelist wiping out the last of his life points.
"Giant Orc? Then-" Jaden realized as they looked to see who controlled Giant Orc was a white blazer Brier, and Beauregard.
"Well, have you seen the light yet?" Brier questioned to his defeated opponent.
The student rose before bowing, "Brier, thank you for helping me see the light."
"Master Sartorius is waiting in the White Dorm for you." Beauregard told him.
He head off as Jaden grunted, "He gotten to them too?"
"Jaden?" asked a voice.
They looked over hearing that. It was Bastion only he looked confused. "What are you doing here?"
"Bastion?" Syrus asked surprised before saying, "We heard a scream, and found Brier, and Beauregard are also brainwashed!"
Bastion's eyes widened. "I see, then as a fellow Ra Yellow it's my responsibility to help them."
"Be careful. They used to be the Duel Giant." Yosuke told him.
"I see, it should be fine though." Bastion reassured him. "Leave this to me."
"You will see the light for Master Sartorius!" Brier declared.
"In this case the light seems to be blinding you." Bastion replied activating his Duel Disk.
The two prepared themselves.
"Will you be sharing life points?" Bastion inquired.
"Of course." Brier answered.
"DUEL!"

"You all go on ahead, I'll head to the Investigation Dorm once I finish things here." Bastion mentioned to Jaden, Syrus, and Yosuke.
They nodded heading out.

You can only control 1 "Amazoness Tiger". This card gains 400 ATK for each "Amazoness" monster you control. Your opponent cannot attack any face-up "Amazoness" monsters, except this one.
"Thanks to his effect he gains 400 points for each Amazoness monster on my field, and you're only allowed to attack my Tiger."
Amazoness Tiger: (ATK: 1100 + (400 * 2) = 1900)
"You never used those cards." Brier told him.
"True." Bastion nodded.
"Well either way they won't be enough." Brier told him.
"What do you mean?" Bastion questioned.
"You'll find out soon. Now is that the end of your turn?" Brier questioned.
"Indeed." Bastion nodded.

"I play a trap card, Amazoness Archers." Bastion called.
Amazoness Archers

When an opponent's monster declares an attack, while you control an "Amazoness" monster: Change all monsters your opponent currently controls to face-up Attack Position (Flip Effects are not activated), they lose 500 ATK, also they must attack this turn, if able.
"Huh?" Beauregard asked him.
"This trap decreases the attack points of all your monsters by 500 and forces them all to attack this turn." Bastion explained.
Lesser Fiend: (ATK: 2100 - 500 = 1600)
"Now, Amazoness Tiger can strike back." Bastion stated calmly.
Giant Orc: (ATK: 2200 - 500 = 1700)
Fiend was struck destroyed as they grunted. (Brier & Beauregard: 3700)
Giant Orc charged as it was destroyed. (Brier & Beauregard: 3500)

After damage calculation, if your "Amazoness" monster battled an opponent's monster while this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone: You can banish that opponent's monster. If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the GY: You can target 1 "Amazoness" monster in your GY; Special Summon it.
"This summons an Amazoness monster from my hand during the battle phase and it gains 500 points this turn, so I'll play Amazoness Chain Master in attack mode."

Bastion's eyes widened in shock.
"Garzett's points are doubled the points of the monster I sacrificed!" Brier called.
"And now I sacrifice Giant Orc to summon Great Maju Garzett!" Brier called as a fiend appeared.
Great Maju Garzett: (ATK: 2200 x 2 = 4400)
"Well thanks to your own trap card my Amazoness Tiger is protecting my life points." Bastion pointed out.
"Not for long!" Brier called as Maju Garzett charged at Tiger.
Bastion braced himself as his monster shattered only to smirk. "I have some unfortunate news for you Brier, you see Amazoness Onslaught has another effect. After one of my Amazoness monsters battles one of your monsters this trap banishes your monster from the game."
"Say what?" Brier asked as Garzett vanished.
Bastion looked at his deck only to frown. 'It's powerful... but it feels wrong. There's a formula to these cards that I haven't cracked yet.'
"Your turn." Brier told him.
Bastion: 4000
Brier & Beauregard: 1500
Bastion 4th Turn:

"Are you two alright?" Bastion asked walking over to them.
"Huh... Bastion?" Brier asked rubbing his head, "What happened?"
"It's a long story." Bastion answered. "Let's head to the dorm and I'll try and fill you in on the way."
They nodded going with him as Brier said, "And change back to our own uniforms while we'e at it."
"Agreed." Bastion nodded.
Meanwhile...
Syrus was looking over his Deck.
"Syrus Truesdale."
"Huh?" Syrus looked.
Dr. Crowler was walking over to him. "I'd like to speak with you, do you have a few minutes?"
"Oh sure, what is it?" Syrus asked pocketing his Deck.
"I'm well aware of the true nature of Banner's little field trip, what exactly took place there before your match?" Dr. Crowler inquired. "How did you arrive at that field he described?"
"Well we are at those ruins trying to munch on lunch, and I think I saw Pharaoh messing with an artifact." Syrus admitted.
Dr. Crowler nodded. "I see, in that case I'd like you and Rise Kujikawa to do me a small favor."
"What's that?" Syrus asked curiously.
"Well you see..." Dr. Crowler started.
Meanwhile with Jaden and Yu...
They were walking together talking about their matches.
"...And of course we know about battling Kagemaru." Jaden grinned.
"True." Yu nodded.
"Yu we should also team up, and form strategies more often." Jaden suggested, "Maybe Margaret, Igor, and Beaufort can fix us up."
"Maybe, though I think first we should focus on the Society of Light." Yu pointed out.
"Yeah, and even Sartorius. Who knows what he's up too since SORA's Satellite is gone." Jaden admitted.
"Nothing good, we're lucky Jasmine was able to destroy it when she did." Yu mentioned before frowning. "We're lucky he didn't get his hands on that copy of Ra too."
"I don't think Ra would be controlled that easily. He, and Izanagi are Gods. But that doesn't solve our next problem with Nyx." Jaden admitted.
"Jaden, we're not going up against Nyx. No matter what we're not letting things come to that." Yu told him.
"So you got a plan against those Shadows?" Jaden asked.
"No, I..." Yu started only to stop and shake his head. "Jaden, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?" Jaden asked him.
"Do you still want a match with me, neither of us holding back?" Yu inquired.
"Of course." Jaden nodded with a smile.
Yu nodded. "Alright, then we should head to the Velvet Room for that match... if something does go wrong we should be alright there."
"Right now?" Jaden blinked.
"Yeah." Yu confirmed. "Right now."
"Alright, and it can also mean training against Sartorius ahead! We should tell the group." Jaden told him.
Yu nodded. After informing them they went, and found the Velvet Room Door.
"After you Jaden." Yu mentioned.
Jaden walked in at this.
(Theme: Sea of the Soul)
"I see you have returned." Beaufort noted calmly seeing Jaden. "We've been expecting you."
"Nice to see you again Beaufort, and you two Igor, Margaret." Jaden grinned waving to them.
Margaret nodded calmly.
"Have you started to understand your power?" Igor inquired. "It manifested itself in a rather unique form."
"Been practicing through the bonds of my friends." Jaden answered, "And me, and Yu want to ask you something."
Yu walked in as Jaden said that.
"Something regarding your current situation?" Margaret inquired.
"Kind of. It is possible me, and Yu can duel here?" Jaden asked.
"You mean is it possible to do so without the consequences correct?" Beaufort inquired. "In which case the answer is both yes and no."
"What's the catch?" Yu asked.
"You'll still suffer the normal injuries, but you won't die and we can restore your strength following the match." Margaret answered.
"Alright cause it also means practicing risk free!" Jaden grinned to Yu.
"That's true, it does." Yu nodded. "Alright Jaden, should this be an official match in the tournament?"
"If you want it that way." Jaden answered preparing himself.
Yu nodded activating his Duel Disk. "Alright then, after you."

Yu frowned. "Not good."
"First off is Air Hummingbird's ability! For every card in your hand, I gain 500 Life Points!" Jaden called as Yu's hand grew flowers as Air Hummingbird pecked them. (Jaden: 6500) "Then Aqua Dolphin's!"
He discarded a card as Aqua Dolphin released a sonar wave at Yu's hand. Yu flinched showing his hand; Fool Persona Izanagi, Angelic Grace, Lovers Persona Undine, Shadow Dungeon Marukyu Striptease, and Justice Persona Power.
"I pick Izanagi!" Jaden called as the card shattered entering Yu's graveyard, "And I set 2 cards down. Your turn Yu."

Jaden took the medal with a smile, "No sweat."
Meanwhile...
"Yuzu?"
She turned over. It was Dr. Crowler only he flinched seeing her in white. "Where is your son?"
"In the Dorm, Vellian. Why have you come to see the Light?" Yuzu asked him.
"Get him, I have something for the two of you." Dr. Crowler told her.
Yuzu looked suspicious before walking off. Dr. Crowler closed his eyes at that. 'I sincerely hope you two can prepare everything... and convince him to help.'
Soon she, and Belowski walked in. Dr. Crowler turned to them before taking something out of his duel vest that they both recognized, a Duel Request Form.
"So someone wishes to see from the Light from us." Yuzu said snatching the form away from her brother as they looked it over.
The form was a challenge from Dr. Crowler himself. They both blinked turning to him.
"Is something wrong you two?" Dr. Crowler inquired. "I trust you know what that is."
"Why couldn't you tell us this yourself?" Yuzu glared before saying, "Oh forget it, I don't want to know. But you really want to face the both of us at once?"
"This isn't a tournament match Yuzu, and as such I chose to go through the proper steps for requesting a match." Dr. Crowler told her. "That said, we should take this somewhere we won't interfere with the tournament. Shall we?"
"Very well." Yuzu said as they walked off.
Dr. Crowler led them to the same ruins that Banner had taken Jaden, Alexis, Syrus, Chumley, and Rise to only to notice Syrus, Rise, and Pharaoh waiting for them. Yuzu looked around seeing the ruins.
"Do it Syrus." Dr. Crowler told him.
Syrus nodded messing with an artifact causing it to act up catching the two's attention as they cried out.
Soon they looked around seeing their back in the Gravekeeper Village.
"Yuzu... Belowski, what happened to you two?"
Hearing that they looked widening their eyes seeing... A ghostly Banner had walked to stand next to Dr. Crowler only he looked hurt and sad to see them.
"Lyman?" Yuzu asked in shock, "Weren't you..."
"Yes, he did die Yuzu." Dr. Crowler confirmed for her.
"However in this place I can come back and duel... which is why, the terms of our match will be if we defeat you both you'll come back to your senses." Banner added. "If we lose, my spirit is destroyed by the Light and your brother will join the Society of Light."
Yuzu grunted before saying, "Very well. We will duel you!"
bopdog111: A fated family duel here.
Ulrich362: True, but will Dr. Crowler be able to resist Belowski's powers?
bopdog111: We will see next time.
Ulrich362: Agreed, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
