**Turn 1: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then activates "Crystal Tusk Magna Boar" (Left 2) and "Glow Claw Magna Chimp" (Right 9) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Spino Gear Magna Saur" (2100/1500) from his hand in Attack Position. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Flash**

Flash draws. He then activates "Blazing Soul Dragon, Blast Burn Dragon" (Left 2) and "Blazing Soul Priestess" (Right 9) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Blazing Soul Raptor" (1000/1000) and "Rush Raptor" (1200/1400) from his hand in Attack Position. Since "Blazing Soul Raptor" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Flash to Special Summon another "Blazing Soul Raptor" (1000/1000) from his Deck in Attack Position. He then overlays his three Level 3 Dinosaur-Type monsters to Xyz Summon "Wild Rush Raptor" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. Since "Wild Rush Raptor" was Xyz Summoned using "Rush Raptor" as an Overlay Unit, its effect activates, increasing its ATK by 500 ("Wild Rush Raptor": 2000 → 2500/2000). He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Blast Burn Dragon" to discard "Blazing Soul Dragon, Burnout Dragon" and destroy Shadow's face-down ("Dimensional Prison"). He then activates the second effect of "Wild Rush Raptor" to detach an Overlay Unit and doubling all Battle Damage involving it. "Wild Rush Raptor" attacks and destroys "Magna Saur" (Shadow 4000 → 3200). He then activates "Eruption Reload" to banish "Burnout Dragon" from his Graveyard and draw six cards. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 3: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then activates "Starburst Reload" to banish "Magna Saur" from his GY and draw five cards. He then Pendulum Summons "Magna Caster Tempusidium" (1000/1800) and "Shining Fang Magna Wolf" (1500/1200) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates "Reverse Polarity" to swap the ATK of "Tempusidium" and "Wild Rush Raptor" ("Tempusidium": 1000 → 2500/1800; "Wild Rush Raptor": 2500 → 1000/2000). "Magna Wolf" attacks "Wild Rush Raptor". The effect of "Magna Wolf" activates, increasing its ATK by 100 for every one of Shadow's banished monsters ("Magna Wolf": 1500 → 1600/1200). "Magna Wolf" then destroys "Wild Rush Raptor" (Flash 4000 → 3400). "Tempusidium" attacks directly, but Flash activates his face-down "Defense Draw" to reduce the Battle Damage to 0 and draw a card. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 4: Flash**

Flash draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Blazing Soul Dragon, Magma Breath Dragon" (1800/1500), "Blazing Soul Magician" (1400/1200) and "Divine Sky Angel" (2300/2600) from his hand in Attack Position. "Divine Sky Angel" attacks "Tempusidium", but Shadow activates his face-down "Lightspeed" to increase the ATK of "Tempusidium" by 1000 ("Tempusidium": 1000 → 2000/1800). "Divine Sky Angel" then destroys "Tempusidium" (Shadow 3200 → 2900). He then activates the effect of "Divine Sky Angel" to pay 300 LP (Flash 3400 → 3100) and allow it to attack again. "Divine Sky Angel" attacks "Magna Wolf", but Shadow activates his face-down "Brittle Shield" to switch "Magna Wolf" to Defense Position. "Magma Breath Dragon" attacks directly, but Shadow activates the Pendulum Effect of "Magna Chimp" to destroy "Magna Boar" and Special Summon itself (1800/600) in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Magma Breath Dragon" attacks and destroys "Magna Chimp". "Blazing Soul Magician" attacks directly, but Shadow activates the effect of the "Tempusidium" in his GY, banishing it to negate the Battle Damage. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then activates the effect of the "Tempusidium" in his Removed From Play Zone, allowing him to add "Starburst Reload" from his GY to his hand. He then activates "Starburst Reload" to banish "Magna Wolf" from his GY and draw four cards. He then activates "Magna Caster Ratio" (Left 1) and "Magna Caster Astriborn" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Magna Boar" (1000/1000) and "Magna Chimp" (1800/600) from his Extra Deck and "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. Since "Flash Heart Dragon X" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, banishing "Blazing Soul Magician". He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Ratio" to look at the top three cards of his Deck, banish "Veil Pixie X" among them and increase the ATK of "Flash Heart Dragon X" by the banished monster's Level x200. "Veil Pixie X" is Level 1 ("Flash Heart Dragon X": 2500 → 2700/2000). "Flash Heart Dragon" attacks and destroys "Divine Sky Angel" (Flash 3100 → 2700). "Magna Chimp" attacks "Magma Breath Dragon". This activates the effect of "Magna Chimp", reducing the ATK of "Magma Breath Dragon" by 100 for every banished monster. There are currently four banished monsters ("Magma Breath Dragon": 1800 → 1400/1500). "Magna Chimp" then destroys "Magma Breath Dragon" (Flash 2700 → 2300). "Magna Boar" attacks directly, but Flash activates his face-down "Beacon of Hope" to draw one card. If it's a monster, he can Special Summon it. He draws "Blazing Soul Firefly", so he Special Summons it (900/1400) in Defense Position. Since "Firefly" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Flash to Special Summon another "Firefly" (900/1400) from his Deck in Defense Position. A replay occurs and Shadow chooses not to attack. He then Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Flash**

Flash draws. He then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive "Wild Rush Raptor" (2000/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Rank-Up-Magic Jurassic Force" to Rank-Up "Wild Rush Raptor" and perform a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, overlaying it to Xyz Summon "Jurassic Raging Raptor" (2600/2400) in Attack Position. Since "Jurassic Raging Raptor" was Xyz Summoned using a Dinosaur-Type Xyz Monster, its effect activates, allowing Flash to look at the top three cards of his Deck and attach all Level 4 or lower Dinosaur-Type monsters among them to "Jurassic Raging Raptor" as Overlay Units. He finds and attaches a third copy of "Blazing Soul Raptor". "Jurassic Raging Raptor" attacks "Magna Boar", but Shadow activates his face-down "Interception" to redirect the attack to "Flash Heart Dragon X". He then activates the second effect of "Jurassic Raging Raptor" to detach one Overlay Unit and reduce the ATK of "Flash Heart Dragon X" by 400 for each Overlay Unit detached ("Flash Heart Dragon X": 2500 → 2100/2000). "Jurassic Raging Raptor" then destroys "Flash Heart Dragon X" (Shadow 2900 → 2400). Since "Jurassic Raging Raptor" destroyed a monster by battle while "Wild Rush Raptor" was attached to it as an Overlay Unit, its effect activates, allowing Flash to draw cards equal to the Level of the destroyed monster. "Flash Heart Dragon X" is Level 7, so he draws seven cards. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Shadow**

Shadow draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. The effect of "Flash Heart Dragon X" activates, banishing one of Flash's "Fireflies". He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Ratio" to look at the top three cards and banish the Level 2 "Neo Lightspeed Dragon" ("Flash Heart Dragon X": 2500 → 2900/2000). "Flash Heart Dragon" attacks and destroys "Jurassic Raging Raptor" (Flash 2300 → 2000). "Magna Chimp" attacks and destroys "Firefly". He then Sets a card.

**Turn 8: Flash**

Flash draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Jurassic Raging Raptor" (2600/2400) from his Extra Deck and "Blazing Soul Knight Gekaa" (1600/1400) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Priestess" to destroy both it and "Blast Burn Dragon" and make himself immune to card effects. He then Tribute "Firefly", "Jurassic Raging Raptor" and "Gekaa" in order to Tribute Summon "Blazing Soul Dragon, Trail Blazer Dragon" (3000/3000) in Attack Position. Since "Trail Blazer Dragon" was Tribute Summoned using three monsters, its effect activates, destroying all other cards on the field and inflict damage to Shadow equal to the number of cards destroyed by this effect x200. Six were destroyed (Shadow 2400 → 1200). Since "Chains of Malice" was destroyed, its effect activates, preventing "Trail Blazer Dragon" from attacking nor be removed from the field by battle or card effects. During each of Shadow's Standby Phase, "Trail Blazer Dragon" will lose 500 ATK. He then Sets three cards.

**Turn 9: Shadow**

Shadow draws. During Shadow's Standby Phase, the effect of "Chains of Malice" activates ("Trail Blazer Dragon": 3000 → 2500/3000). He then activates the effect of the "Ratio" in his Extra Deck, banishing it to draw three cards. He then activates "Pendulum Loader" to add "Magna Boar" and "Attriborn" from his Extra Deck to his hand. He then activates "Magna Boar" (Left 2) and "Attriborn" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Flash Wing Magna Pegasus" (1400/800) from his hand and "Magna Chimp" (1800/600) and "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Magna Pegasus" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, banishing one random card in Flash's hand. He then activates "Strike of Malice" to switch "Magna Chimp" and "Magna Pegasus" to Defense Position, reduce their ATK to 0 ("Magna Chimp": 1800 → 0/600; "Magna Pegasus": 1400 → 0/800) and give "Flash Heart Dragon X" an additional attack for every affected monster, in this case, two. He then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Magna Boar" to increase the ATK of "Flash Heart Dragon X" by 500 ("Flash Heart Dragon X": 2500 → 3000/2000). "Flash Heart Dragon X" attacks "Trail Blazer Dragon" three times (Flash 2000 → 1500 → 1000 → 500). Flash activates his face-down "Power Draw" and chains with his other face-down "Emergency Provisions". Both effects resolve in reverse order. "Emergency Provisions" resolves first, sending his other face-down and "Power Draw" and increasing his LP by 2000 (Flash 500 → 2500). "Power Draw" resolves last, allowing Flash to draw one card for every monster Shadow controls. Shadow controls three, so he draws three cards. Since "Trap Sleuth" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Flash to add "Power Draw" from his GY to his hand. He then Sets two cards.

**Turn 10: Flash**

Flash draws. He then Normal Summons "Dark Portal Master" (500/500) in Attack Position. He then activates its effect to target one monster and force Shadow to choose between destroying "Dark Portal Master" or switch control of both "Dark Portal Master" and the targeted monster. After that, "Dark Portal Master" will gain the ATK, DEF and Level of the targeted monster, also it won't be destroyed in battle. He targets "Flash Heart Dragon X". After some time, Shadow chooses to do so, switching control of "Dark Portal Master" and "Flash Heart Dragon X" ("Dark Portal Master": 500 → 3000/500 → 2500; Level 1 → 8).

The duel continues in the next episode.
