Bastion is worried about when the third Shadow Rider will show up, so he takes Jaden, Syrus and Chumley out for some practice dueling. Later, in class, Banner is surprised to find that most of his students are missing. He takes Jaden and the others with him to go and find out what is happening. They are confronted by the third Shadow Rider, Amazoness Tanya, who selects Bastion to duel against her. Bastion develops a crush on Tanya and this causes him to become distracted, losing the duel and his spirit key.
