Shining Armor vs. Soarin
The duel continues from an unspecified turn. Shining controls an unknown "Royal Paladin" monster, an unknown "Royal Paladin" Tuner monster and 3700 Life Points while Soarin controls "Techno Force Sub Surfer" (1200/1500) in Attack Position and "Frontline Base" and 2800 LP.

 Turn ?: Shining 

Shining Synchro Summon "Royal Paladin Sword Striker" (2100/1800) in Attack Position. He then activates "Paladin's Mage" to destroy "Frontline Base" and add "Paladin's Lance" from his Deck to his hand. He then equips "Royal Paladin Sword Striker" with "Paladin's Lance", granting it the ability to inflict piercing damage. "Royal Paladin Sword Striker" attacks and destroys "Sub Surfer" and inflicts piercing damage to Soarin (Soarin 2800 → 2200). Since "Sword Striker" dealt Battle Damage, its effect activates, allowing Shining to Special Summon one "Royal Paladin" monster from his Deck whose ATK is equal to or less than the Battle Damage Soarin took. He Special Summons "Royal Horn Paladin" in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.

 Turn ?: Soarin 

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Jet Jammer" (1800/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Power-Link" to take "Armoured Assault" and equip it to "Techno Force Jet Jammer", increasing its ATK and DEF by 500 ("Techno Force Jet Jammer": 1800 → 2300/1000 → 1500). He then banishes "Jet Jammer" and "Armoured Assault" in order to Fusion Summon "Super Techno Force Jet Assault" (2300/1500) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to discard one card, destroy Shining's face-down and increase its ATK by 500 ("Super Techno Force Jet Assault": 2300 → 2800/1500). "Jet Assault" attacks and destroys "Sword Striker" (Shining 3700 → 3000).

 Turn ?: Shining 

Shining draws. He then activates "Royal Paladin Gentleman" (Left 2) and "Royal Paladin Tactician" (Right 7) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Sword Striker" (2100/1800) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Royal Horn Paladin" to Tribute itself, look at the top five cards of his Deck and Special Summon one "Royal Paladin" Tuner monster among them. He finds and Special Summons "Royal Paladin Apprentice Swordsman" (1200/1200) in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 6 Synchro Pendulum Monster "Sword Striker" with the Level 4 Tuner monster "Royal Paladin Apprentice Swordsman" in order to Synchro Summon "Royal Paladin Grand Emperor" (3500/2500) in Attack Position.

The duel continues off-screen.

Gilda vs. Soarin
 Turn 1: Soarin 

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Sub Surfer" (1200/1500) in Defense Position. He then activates "Frontline Base". Now once per turn, Soarin can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Union monster from his hand. He then uses this effect to Special Summon "Techno Force Armoured Assault" (500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Armoured Assault" to equip itself to "Sub Surfer", increasing its ATK and DEF by 500 ("Sub Surfer": 1200 → 1700/1500 → 2000). He then Sets a card.

 Turn 2: Gilda 

Gilda draws. She then activates the effect of the "Harpie Queen" in her hand, sending it to the Graveyard to add "Harpie's Hunting Ground" from her Deck to her hand. She then activates "Harpie's Hunting Ground". Now all Winged Beast-Type monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF. Whenever a "Harpie Lady" monster is Summoned, Gilda can destroy one Spell Card on the field. She then Normal Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800 → 2000/1300 → 1500) in Attack Position. Since a "Harpie Lady" monster was Summoned, the effect of "Harpie's Hunting Ground" activates, allowing Gilda to destroy "Armoured Assault". "Cyber Harpie Lady" attacks "Sub Surfer", but Soarin activates his face-down "Roll Out" to take "Armoured Assault" from his Graveyard and equip it to "Sub Surfer" ("Sub Surfer": 1200 → 1700/1500 → 2000). The attack fails. She then Sets a card.

 Turn 3: Soarin 

Soarin draws. He then activates "Magical Mallet" to shuffle three cards into his Deck and draw three cards. He then activates "Techno Support MAZ-6-17" (Left 2) and "Techno Support B-1" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Techno Force Jet Jammer" (1800/1000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then banishes "Jet Jammer", "Sub Surfer" and "Armoured Assault" to Fusion Summon "Mega Techno Force Attack Convoy" (2800/2600) in Attack Position. "Attack Convoy" attacks and destroys "Cyber Harpie Lady" (Gilda 4000 → 3200). Since "Attack Convoy" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, inflicting damage to the destroyed monster's Level/Rank x300. "Cyber Harpie Lady" is Level 4, but Gilda activates her face-down "Harpie's Guardian" to reduce the effect damage to 0 and Special Summon "Harpie Dancer" (1200/1000) from her Deck in Attack Position. Since a "Harpie Lady" monster was Summoned, the effect of "Harpie's Hunting Ground" activates, allowing Gilda to destroy "Frontline Base". Since a card was destroyed by a card effect, the Pendulum Effect of "Techno Support B-1" activates, allowing Soarin to destroy one card Gilda controls of the same type as the destroyed card and allow himself to draw one card for each one destroyed. He destroys "Harpie's Hunting Ground" and draws two cards.

 Turn 4: Gilda 

Gilda draws. She then Normal Summons "Birdface" (1600/1600) in Attack Position. She then overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Harpie Lady Zephyr" (2100/2300) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit, revive "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) in Defense Position and increase the ATK of "Harpie Lady Zephyr" by half the ATK of "Cyber Harpie Lady" ("Harpie Lady Zephyr": 2100 → 3000/2300). "Harpie Lady Zephyr" attacks and destroys "Attack Convoy" (Soarin 4000 → 3800). Since "Harpie Lady Zephyr" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Soarin for every other Winged Beast-Type monster Gilda controls (Soarin 3800 → 3100). She then Sets a card.

 Turn 5: Soarin 

Soarin draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Techno Force Rush Rotor" (1700/1400) and "Techno Force Tank Trasher" (1600/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then banishes "Rush Rotor" and "Tank Trasher" in order to Fusion Summon "Mega Techno Force Defence Convoy" (2100/1800) in Attack Position. "Defence Convoy" attacks and destroys "Cyber Harpie Lady". Since Soarin has less cards in his hand than Gilda, "Defence Convoy" inflicts piercing damage to Gilda (Gilda 3200 → 2400).

 Turn 6: Gilda 

Gilda draws. She then activates "Harpie Crone" (Left 1) and "Harpie Child" (Right 7) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Harpie Lady Phoenix" (1500/1200) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit and revive "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) in Attack Position ("Harpie Lady Zephyr": 2100 → 3000/2300). "Harpie Lady Zephyr" attacks "Defence Convoy", but Soarin activates the effect of "Defence Convoy" to discard one card and negate the attack.

 Turn 7: Soarin 

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Support M-6" (500/500) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to equip itself to "Defence Convoy", increasing its ATK and DEF by 300 ("Defence Convoy": 2100 → 2400/1800 → 2100). Now the equipped monster can attack all monsters your opponent controls. "Defence Convoy" attacks and destroys all three monsters (Gilda 2400 → 1400 → 500 → 200).

 Turn 8: Gilda 

Gilda draws. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Harpie Crone" to pay half her Life Points (Gilda 200 → 100) and activate "Hysteric Party" from her hand. Now once per turn, she can Special Summon as many "Harpie Lady" monsters from her Graveyard as possible. She uses this effect to revive "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300), "Harpie Dancer" (1200/1000) and "Harpie Lady Commander" (1900/2200) in Attack Position. She then Pendulum Summons "Harpie Lady Phoenix" (1500/1200) and "Harpie Lady Zephyr" (2100/2300) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Harpie Lady Phoenix" was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, its effect activates, increasing the ATK of "Harpie Lady Zephyr" by 300 for every other "Harpie Lady" monster Gilda controls. She controls 4 ("Harpie Lady Zephyr": 2100 → 3300/2300). "Harpie Lady Zephyr" attacks and destroys "Defence Convoy" (Soarin 3100 → 2200). The effect of "Harpie Lady Zephyr" activates (Soarin 2200 → 0).
