YGO EQG XX - Episode 036

"**The Wonderbolts Ascent**" is the 36th episode of the series.

Ain't it weird that we're getting close to the finale. It's final duel of the first team battle. Rainbow Dash duels against Tempest Shadow.

## Featured Duel: Rainbow Dash vs. Tempest Shadow

**Turn 1: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then Normal Summons "Rainbow Wing Purple Condor" (1800/100) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to inflict 600 damage to Tempest (Tempest 4000 → 3400). She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Tempest**

Tempest draws. "Spine-Hog Dominator" (Left 1) and "Tempest Unicorn Dominator" (Right 8) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Storm Guard Dominator Spear" (1800/800) and "Storm Guard Dominator Glaive" (1900/1200) from her hand in Attack Position. Since Tempest Pendulum Summoned, the Pendulum Effect of "Spine-Hog Dominator" activates, allowing Tempest to draw two cards (one card for every Pendulum Summoned monster). She then activates "Obsidian Orb" to dominate "Purple Condor". "Glaive" attacks "Purple Condor", but Rainbow activates her face-down "Tornado Guard" to negate her monster's destruction and halve the Battle Damage (Rainbow 4000 → 3950). "Spear" attacks Rainbow directly via its own effect at the cost of halving the Battle Damage (Rainbow 3950 → 3050). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then Normal Summons "Rainbow Wing Red Kestrel" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to Special Summon "Rainbow Wing Orange Osprey" (1200/1000) from her Deck in Attack Position and increase its Level by 1. She then overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Rainbow Battle Wing Gold" (2500/1500) in Attack Position. Since "Orange Osprey" was used for an Xyz Summon, its effect activates, increasng the ATK of "Rainbow Battle Wing Gold" by 300 ("Rainbow Battle Wing Gold": 2500 → 2800/1500). She then activates the effect of "Gold" to detach an Overlay Unit, look at the top five cards of her Deck and Special Summon a Winged Beast-Type monster among them. She Special Summons "Rainbow Wing Pegasus" (1800/1200) in Attack Position. Since "Rainbow Wing Pegasus" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Rainbow to add a random Winged Beast-Type monster from her Deck to her hand. "Gold" attacks "Spear". The effect of "Gold" activates, increasing its ATK by 300 for every other Winged Beast-Type monster on the field. There are currently two ("Gold": 2800 → 3400/1500). Tempest finds and activates the Action Card "Evasion" to negate the attack. After damage calculation, the effect of "Gold" expires ("Gold": 3400 → 2800/1500). She then finds and activates the Action Card "Shine Like Rainbows" to increase the ATK of "Pegasus" by its Level x100. "Pegasus" is Level 4 ("Pegasus": 1800 → 2200/1200). "Pegasus" attacks and destroys "Spear" (Tempest 3400 → 3000).

**Turn 4: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Tempest Rogue Dominator Scarvolt" (2500/2000) from her hand in Attack Position. The Pendulum Effect of "Spine-Hog Dominator" activates, allowing Tempest to draw one card. Since "Scarvolt" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, dominating "Pegasus" and "Purple Condor". She then activates "Dominator Lightning" to increase the ATK of "Scarvolt" by 500 for every Dominated monster on the field ("Scarvolt": 2500 → 3500/2000). She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Tempest Rogue Dominator" to increase the ATK of "Scarvolt" by 200 for every dominated monster on the field ("Scarvolt": 3500 → 3900/2000). Due to the effect of "Scarvolt", it can attack up to a number of times equal to the number of Dominated monsters, but the Battle Damage Flash will take will be halved and the attacked monster won't be destroyed by battle. Rainbow activates her face-down "Xyz Guardian". Now as long as "Xyz Guardian" remains face-up, Tempest's monsters can only attack Xyz Monsters. "Scarvolt" attacks "Gold" twice (Rainbow 3050 → 2500 → 1950). She then switches "Glaive" to Defense Position.

**Turn 5: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then activates "Supporting Filly" (Left 1) and "Rainbow Wing Knight Owl" (Right 8) in her Pendulum Zones. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Knight Owl" to discard one card and add "Rank-Up-Magic Infinite Spectrum" from her Deck to her hand. She then activates the effect of "Gold" to look at the top five cards of her Deck and Special Summon "Rainbow Wing Knight Falcon" (1600/1400) in Attack Position. She then activates "Rank-Up-Magic Infinite Spectrum" to rank-up "Gold" and perform a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, overlaying it to Xyz Summon "Spectrum Battle Wing Prism Bolt" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Since "Prism Bolt" was Xyz Summoned using a "Rank-Up-Magic" card, its effect activates, allowing Rainbow to destroy one Spell/Trap Card on the field for every Overlay Unit attached to itself. She destroys "Tempest Unicorn Dominator". She then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit, target "Knight Falcon" and reduce the ATK of "Scarvolt" by the ATK of "Knight Falcon" until the End Phase ("Scarvolt": 2500 → 900/2000). "Prism Bolt" attacks "Scarvolt", but Tempest finds and activates the Action Card "Baton Pass" to redirect the attack to "Glaive", destroying it instead. "Knight Falcon" attacks and destroys "Scarvolt" (Tempest 3000 → 2300). She then equips "Prism Bolt" with "Courageous Shield of Netitus", increasing its DEF by 300 ("Prism Bolt": 3000/2500 → 2800). Now the equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle.

**Turn 6: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then activates "Storm Guard Reload" to banish "Spear" from her Graveyard and draw four cards. She then activates "Storm Guard Dominator Ryyk" (Right 9) in her Right Pendulum Zone. She then Pendulum Summons "Scarvolt" (2500/2000), "Tempest Unicorn Dominator" (2800/1800) and "Glaive" (1900/1200) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. She then equips "Scarvolt" with "Staff Sacanas", increasing its ATK by 500 ("Scarvolt": 2500 → 3000/2000). She then activates its second effect to Tribute all three of her monsters and Special Summon "Storm King Dominator" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to dominate all monsters Rainbow controls. "Storm King Dominator" attacks "Prism Bolt" (Rainbow 1950 → 950). Rainbow finds and activates the Action Card "End of the Rainbow" to destroy all monsters she controls and draw four cards (One card for each monster destroyed). She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 7: Rainbow**

Rainbow draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Prism Bolt" (3000/2500), "Pegasus" (1800/1200) and "Knight Falcon" (1600/1400) from her Extra Deck and "Rainbow Wing Yellow Eagle" (1700/1300) and "Rainbow Wing Green Hawk" (1400/800) from her hand in Attack Position. She then activates "Infinite Spectrum" to Rank-Up "Prism Bolt" and perform a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, overlaying it to Xyz Summon "Spectrum Battle Wing Brave Refractor" (1000/3000) in Attack Position. "Brave Refractor" attacks "Storm King Dominator". The effect of "Brave Refractor" activates, increasing its ATK by the ATK of "Storm King Dominator" ("Brave Refractor": 1000 → 5000/3000). Tempest finds an unknown Action Trap that deals 500 damage to Tempest (Tempest 2300 → 1800). "Brave Refractor" then destroys "Storm King Dominator" (Tempest 1800 → 800). Tempest activates her face-down "Storm Fragment" to pay half of her LP (Tempest 800 → 400) and revive "Storm King Dominator" during the End Phase. "Pegasus" attacks Tempest directly, but Tempest activates her face-down "Storm Guard Dominator Lightning Sentinel" to Special Summon itself as a Trap Monster (1100/2300) in Attack Position. A replay occurs and Rainbow chooses not to attack. She then Sets a card. During Rainbow's End Phase, "Storm King Dominator" is revived (4000/4000) in Attack Position via the effect of "Storm Fragment".

**Turn 8: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Normal Summons "Storm Guard Dominator Puppeteer" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Storm King Dominator" to dominate all monsters Rainbow controls. She then activates the second effect of "Storm King Dominator" to reduce the ATK of "Puppeteer" to 0, negate its effects and grant itself those effects. She then activates the granted effect of "Storm King Dominator" to free all of Rainbow's dominated monsters and inflict 200 damage to Rainbow for each one. Five were freed (Rainbow 950 → 0).
