## Featured Duel: Flash Sentry vs. Tempest Shadow

The duel continues from the last episode.

**Turn 27: Tempest**

Tempest just summoned "Storm King Dominator". "Storm King Dominator" attacks and destroys "Magna Boar", but Flash activates the effect of the "Magna Caster Tempusidium" in his Graveyard, banishing it to negate the Battle Damage. She then Sets three cards.

**Turn 28: Flash**

Flash draws. He then activates the effect of the "Magna Caster Ratio" in his Extra Deck, banishing it to draw two cards. He then activates "Magna Caster Lunara" (Left 1) and "Magna Caster Solaris" (Right 8) in his Pendulum Zones. He then Pendulum Summons "Bright Bounce Magna Bunny" (1200/600) from his hand and "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 7 "Flash Heart Dragon X" with the Level 3 Tuner monster "Magna Bunny" in order to Synchro Summon "Flash Dragon Magna Strider" (3300/2500) in Attack Position. He then activates "Reverse Polarity" to swap the ATK of both "Magna Strider" and "Storm King Dominator" ("Magna Strider": 3300 → 4000/2500; "Storm King Dominator": 4000 → 3300/4000). "Magna Strider" attacks "Storm King Dominator", but Tempest activates her face-down "Reflection Guard" to negate her monster's destruction by battle (Tempest 1800 → 1100). He then activates the effect of "Magna Strider" to banish "Magna Boar" and "Magna Snake" from his Extra Deck and allow it to attack again. Tempest activates her face-down "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" to banish "Storm King Dominator" until the End Phase. "Magna Strider" attacks Tempest directly, but Tempest activates her face-down "Storm Guard Dominator Lightning Sentinel" to Special Summon itself (1100/2300) in Defense Position. A replay occurs and "Magna Strider" attacks "Lightning Sentinel". This activates the former's effect, increasing its ATK by the total Levels of the banished monsters x100 ("Magna Strider": 3300 → 8500/2500). "Magna Strider" then destroys "Lightning Sentinel". On Flash's End Phase, "Storm King Dominator" (4000/4000) returns to the field in Attack Position due to the effect of "Interdimensional Matter Transporter".

**Turn 29: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then activates the effect of "Storm King Dominator" to dominate all other monsters on the field. She then activates "Prime Storm Awakening" to banish "Storm King Dominator" and Special Summon "Primal Dominator Imperial Beast of the Storm" (4500/4000) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to inflict 500 damage to Flash for every dominated monster on the field. There are currently five (Flash 1700 → 200). She then activates its effect to banish "Spear" from his Graveyard and grant itself that monster's effects. At the start of the Battle Phase, "Imperial Beast of the Storm" gains 500 ATK for every Dominated monster on the field ("Imperial Beast of the Storm": 4500 → 6000/4000). She then activates its granted effect to halve its ATK and allow it to attack directly this turn ("Imperial Beast of the Storm": 6000 → 3000/4000). "Imperial Beast of the Storm" attacks Flash directly, but Flash activates his face-down "Magna Guardian Arma Access" to Special Summon itself (100/2000) in Defense Position. Due to its first effect, it is the only monster that can be attacked and Tempest can't attack directly. Flash then activates its second effect to banish all other monster he controls and reduce the ATK of "Imperial Beast of the Storm" by 500 for each one "Imperial Beast of the Storm": 3000 → 1500/4000). A replay occurs and "Imperial Beast of the Storm" attacks "Arma Excess". The attack fails (Tempest 1100 → 600). On Tempest's End Phase, "Imperial Beast of the Storm" returns to Tempest's hand and "Storm King Dominator" returns to the field (4000/4000) in Attack Position.

**Turn 30: Flash**

Flash draws. He then Pendulum Summons "Flash Heart Dragon X" (2500/2000) from his Extra Deck in Attack Position. He then activates "Quantum Nexus Ritual" to place all banished monsters on the bottom of his Deck and Ritual Summon "Quantum Nexus Dragon" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. "Quantum Nexus Dragon" attacks "Storm King Dominator". Due to the first effect of "Quantum Nexus Dragon", neither monster is destroyed and a Quantum Counter is placed on "Storm King Dominator". On Flash's End Phase, he activates the second effect of "Quantum Nexus Dragon" to banish the top ten cards of his Deck and skip one turn for every monster. He banishes five monsters, so five turns are skipped.

**Turn 36: Flash**

Flash draws. During Flash's Standby Phase, the third effect of "Quantum Nexus Dragon" reduces the ATK of all monsters on the field with a Quantum Counter by 500 for each turn skipped ("Storm King Dominator": 4000 → 1500/4000). "Quantum Nexus Dragon" attacks and destroys "Storm King Dominator" (Tempest 600 → 0).
