"**Harpies and Robots**" is the 5th episode of the series.

**Turn ?: Shining**

He Synchro Summons "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". Now "Sword Striker" can inflict piercing damage. "Sword Striker" attacks and destroys "Techno Force Sub Surfer". "Sword Striker" then inflicts piercing damage to Soarin (Soarin 2800 → 2200). Since "Sword Striker" inflicted Battle Damage, its effect activates, allowing Shining to Special Summon a monster whose ATK is less than the Battle Damage he just took. He Special Summons "Royal Horn Paladin" in Defense Position.

**Turn ?: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Jet Jammer" (1800/1000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Power-Link" to equip "Jet Jammer" with the "Techno Force Armored Assault" in his hand, increasing its ATK and DEF by 500 ("Jet Jammer": 1800 → 2300/1000 → 1500). He then banishes "Jet Jammer" and "Armored 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 Soarin's face-down ("Mirror Force") and increase its ATK by 500 ("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 a Tuner monster among them. He Special Summons "Royal Paladin Apprentice Swordsman" (1200/1200) in Attack Position. He then tunes the Level 6 "Sword Striker" with the Level 4 Tuner monster "Apprentice Swordsman" in order to Synchro Summon "Royal Paladin Grand Emperor" (3500/2500) in Attack Position.

At this point, the rest of the Duel is not shown.

### Gilda vs. Soarin Skies

**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, he can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Union monster from his hand. He then activates the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "Techno Force Armored Assault" (500/2000) from his hand in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Armored 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, discarding it 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. Also if a "Harpie Lady" monster is summoned, the controller of that monster can destroy one Spell or Trap Card on the field. She then Normal Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800 → 2000/1300 → 1500) in Attack Position. The effect of "Harpie's Hunting Ground" activates, allowing Gilda to destroy "Armored Assault". "Cyber Harpie Lady" attacks "Sub Surfer", but Soarin activates his face-down "Roll Out" to equip "Sub Surfer" with the "Armored Assault" in his Graveyard ("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 in his hand into his Deck and draw three cards. He then activates "Techno Support MAZ-63-17" (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 "Sub Surfer", "Armored Assault" and "Jet Jammer" in order 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 Gilda equal 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 a "Harpie Lady" monster from her Deck whose ATK is at least the effect damage she would have taken. She Special Summons "Harpie Dancer" (1200/1000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Harpie's Hunting Ground" activates, allowing Gilda to destroy "Frontline Base". This activates the Pendulum Effect of "Techno Support B-1", allowing Soarin to destroy "Harpie's Hunting Ground" and draw two cards.

**Turn 4: Gilda**

Gilda draws. She then Normal Summons "Birdface" (1600/1600) in Attack Position. She then overlays "Harpie Dancer" and "Birdface" in order 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 its ATK 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 700 damage to Soarin for every other WIND monster on the field (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 "Techno Force Rush Rotor" and "Techno Force 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 does, "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 the effect of "Zephyr" to detach an Overlay Unit and revive "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) in Attack Position ("Zephyr": 2100 → 3000/2300). "Zephyr" attacks "Defence Convoy", but Soarin activates the second 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 by 300 ("Defence Convoy": 2100 → 2400/1800). Due to the effect of "M-6", "Defence Convoy" can attack all monsters Gilda controls. "Defence Convoy" attacks and destroys all monsters Gilda controls (Gilda 2400 → 1300 → 400 → 100).

**Turn 8: Gilda**

Gilda draws. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Harpie Crone" to pay half of her LP (Gilda 100 → 50) and activate a Trap Card from her hand. She activates "Hysteric Party" to discard one card and Special Summon as many "Harpie Lady" monsters from her Graveyard as possible. She Special Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300), "Harpie Dancer" (1200/1000) and "Harpie Lady Commander" (1900/2200) in Attack Position. She then Pendulum Summons "Zephyr" (2100/2300) and "Phoenix" (1500/1200) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Phoenix" was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, its effect activates, increasing the ATK of "Zephyr" by 300 for every other "Harpie Lady" monster on the field ("Zephyr": 2100 → 3300/2300). "Zephyr" attacks and destroys "Defence Convoy" (Soarin 3100 → 2200). The effect of "Zephyr" activates (Soarin 2200 → 0).
