**Turn ?: Sunburst**

He then Ritual Summons "Sunburst Ravager" (2000/1800) in Attack Position. He then equips "Sunburst Ravager" with "Blazing Aura", increasing its ATK by 500 for every other FIRE monster on the field ("Sunburst Ravager": 2000 > 3000/1800). Due to the effect of "Sunburst Ravager", it can attack up to a number of times equal to the number of FIRE monsters he controls. "Sunburst Ravager" attacks and destroys "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" (Spoon 2600 > 2100). "Sunburst Ravager" attacks Spoon directly (Spoon 2100 > 0).

### Gilda vs. Rover

The duel continues from an unspecified turn. Gilda controls "Harpie Lady Zephyr Blitz" (2800/2400) and "Harpie Dancer" (1200/1000) in Attack Position, "Harpie Crone" (Left 2) and "Harpie Child" (Right 7) in her Pendulum Zones and 2200 LP. Rover controls "Power Dog Cerberus" (3200/2700), "Power Dog Husky" and "Power Dog Bulldog" in Attack Position and 2400 LP.

**Turn ?: Rover**

He then activates the effect of "Power Dog Cerberus" to destroy all monsters Gilda controls and inflict damage to Gilda for each monster destroyed x500 (Gilda 2200 > 1200).

**Turn ?: Gilda**

Gilda draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) from her hand and "Harpie Lady Zephyr Blitz" (2800/2400) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. Since "Zephyr Blitz" was Pendulum Summoned, its effect activates, allowing her to look at the top five cards of her Deck and attach any WIND monsters among them to "Zephyr Blitz" as Overlay Units. She attaches one. She then activates the second effect of "Zephyr Blitz" to detach an Overlay Unit, target "Power Dog Cerberus" and destroy all other monsters whose original ATK is less than the targeted monster's ATK. Due to the third effect of "Zephyr Blitz", it gains 700 ATK for every monster destroyed by its second effect ("Zephyr Blitz": 2800 > 4200/2400). "Zephyr Blitz" attacks and destroys "Power Dog Cerberus" (Rover 2400 > 1400). "Cyber Harpie Lady" attacks Rover directly (Rover 1400 > 0).

### Applejack vs. Soarin

**Turn 1: Applejack**

Applejack draws. She then Normal Summons "Red Apple Golem" (1300/1500) in Defense Position. Since "Red Apple Golem" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Applejack to add "Green Apple Golem" from her Deck to her hand. She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then activates "Magical Mallet" to shuffle four cards in his hand into his Deck and draw four cards. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Rush Rotor" (1700/1400) in Attack Position. Applejack activates her face-down "Lasso Tasso" to reduce the ATK of "Rush Rotor" by 500 ("Rush Rotor": 1700 > 1200/1400). 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 activates the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "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 "Red Apple Golem". Since Soarin has less cards in his hand than Applejack, "Defence Convoy" inflicts piercing damage to Applejack (Applejack 4000 > 3400). Since a Plant-Type monster with 1500 or less ATK was destroyed by battle, Applejack activates her face-down "Compost Harvest" to draw four cards (One card equal to its Level). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 3: Applejack**

Applejack draws. She then activates "Stag of Great Seeding" (Left 1) and "Grizzly Pear" (Right 9) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Apple-Buck Pony" (1800/1200) and "Green Apple Golem" (1400/600) from her hand in Attack Position. Since "Apple-Buck Pony" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Applejack to look at the top five cards of her Deck and Special Summon any Plant-Type monsters among them. She Special Summons "Apple Knight" (300/300) and "Apple Fairy" (900/1100) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Apple Fairy" to shuffle "Green Apple Golem" into her Deck and Special Summon "Apple Kid" (200/300) from her Deck in Attack Position. Since "Apple Kid" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, increasing its Level by 1. She then overlays her three Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon "Orchid Cowboy" (2100/600) in Attack Position.
Soarin activates his face-down "Power Draw" to draw three cards (as Applejack summoned a Rank 3 monster with 2000 or more ATK). She then activates "Gaia Energy" to increase the ATK of all monsters she controls by 500 until the End Phase ("Orchid Cowboy": 2100 > 2600/600; "Apple-Buck Pony": 1800 > 2300/1200). "Orchid Cowboy" attacks "Defence Convoy", but Soarin finds and activates the Action Card "Evasion" to negate the attack, but Applejack activates the effect of "Orchid Cowboy" to detach an Overlay Unit, negate the activation of "Evasion" and destroy it. Soarin activates the effect of "Defence Convoy" to discard one card and negate the attack. "Apple-Buck Pony" attacks and destroys "Defence Convoy" (Soarin 4000 > 3800). She then Sets a card.

**Turn 4: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then Normal Summons "Techno Force Sub Surfer" (1200/1500) in Attack Position. He then activates the effect of "Frontline Base" to Special Summon "Techno Force Armored Assault" (500/2000) in Attack Position. He then activates "Iron Call", but Applejack activates the effect of "Orchid Cowboy" to detach an Overlay Unit, negate the activation of "Iron Call" and destroy it. He then finds and activates the Action Card "Revitalization" to add "Iron Call" from his Graveyard to his hand. He then activates "Iron Call" to revive "Techno Force Jet Jammer" (this card was discarded via the effect of "Defence Convoy") (1800/1000) in Attack Position. He then banishes his three monsters in order to Fusion Summon "Mega Techno Force Attack Convoy" (2800/2600) in Attack Position.
He then activates its effect to discard "Techno Support ATV" and destroy "Orchid Cowboy". Since "Techno Support ATV" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Soarin to draw two cards. "Attack Convoy" attacks "Apple-Buck Pony", but Applejack finds and activates the Action Card "Unblooming" to pay 500 LP (Applejack 3400 > 2900) and switch "Apple-Buck Pony" to Defense Position. "Attack Convoy" then destroys "Apple-Buck Pony". Since "Attack Convoy" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, inflicting damage to Applejack equal to the Level/Rank of the destroyed monster x300. "Apple-Buck Pony" is Level 4 (Applejack 2900 > 1700). He then Sets a card.

**Turn 5: Applejack**

Applejack draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Apple-Buck Pony" (1800/1200) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. She then activates its effect and Special Summons "Yellow Apple Golem" (1200/1200) in Attack Position. She then activates "Rank-Up-Magic Eternal Growth" to revive "Orchid Cowboy" (2100/600) in Attack Position and Rank-It-Up and perform a Rank-Up Xyz Evolution, overlaying it to Xyz Summon "Orchid Marshall" (3000/1500) in Attack Position. Since "Orchid Marshall" was Xyz Summoned, its effect activates, attaching "Yellow Apple Golem" to it as an Overlay Unit. Due to the second effect of "Eternal Growth", "Orchid Marshall" gains 400 ("Orchid Marshall": 3000 > 3400/1500). He then activates its effect to detach an Overlay Unit, halve the ATK of "Attack Convoy" ("Attack Convoy": 2800 > 1400/1600) and increase the ATK of "Apple-Buck Pony" by the same amount ("Apple-Buck Pony": 1800 > 3200/1200).
"Orchid Marshall" attacks "Attack Convoy", but Soarin activates his face-down "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" to negate the attack and reset itself face-down. Soarin finds and activates the Action Card "Synthesis" to increase the ATK of "Attack Convoy" by 500 ("Attack Convoy": 1400 > 1900/2600). "Apple-Buck Pony" attacks and destroys "Attack Convoy" (Soarin 3500 > 2200).

**Turn 6: Soarin**

Soarin draws. He then activates "Dimension Fusion" to pay 2000 LP (Soarin 2200 > 200) and Special Summon as many monsters removed from play as possible; he Special Summons all five of his banished "Techno Force" monsters. He banishes "Jet Jammer", "Armored Assault" and "Sub Surfer" in order to Fusion Summon "Attack Convoy" in Attack Position. He then banishes "Rush Rotor" and "Tank Trasher" in order to Fusion Summon "Defence Convoy" in Attack Position. He then banishes "Attack Convoy" and "Defence Convoy" in order to Fusion Summon "Ultra Techno Force Grand Convoy" (3000/2800) in Attack Position.
Due to the effect of "Grand Convoy", all other card effects are negated until the End Phase of the turn it is Fusion Summoned. "Grand Convoy" attacks "Apple-Buck Pony", but Applejack finds and activates the Action Card "Uprooting" to return "Grizzly Pear" and her face-down to her hand.
Applejack activates the effect of the "Grizzly Pear" in her hand, discarding it to activate "Power Guard" from her hand, redirecting the attack to "Orchid Marshall" and increase its ATK by 200 ("Orchid Marshall": 3000 > 3200/1500). The effect of "Grand Convoy" activates, reducing the ATK of "Orchid Marshall" by its Rank x300. "Orchid Marshall" is Rank 4 ("Orchid Marshall": 3200 > 2000/1500). "Grand Convoy" then destroys "Orchid Marshall" (Applejack 1700 > 700).

**Turn 7: Applejack**

Applejack draws. She then activates the Pendulum Effect of "Stag of Great Seeding" to draw a card. She then Normal Summons "Iris Maiden" (1600/1300) in Attack Position. She then activates "Seedling Sprite" (Right 6) in her Right Pendulum Zone. She then Pendulum Summons "Orchid Marshall" (As it is an Xyz Pendulum Monster) (3000/1500) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. This activates its effect, attaching "Iris Maiden" to itself as an Overlay Unit.
She then activates its second effect, detaching an Overlay Unit and targeting "Grand Convoy" and "Apple-buck Pony" ("Grand Convoy": 3000 > 1500/2800; "Apple-Buck Pony": 1800 > 3300/1200). "Orchid Marshall" attacks "Grand Convoy", but Soarin activates his face-down "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" to negate the attack and reset itself face-down. "Apple-Buck Pony" attacks and destroys "Grand Convoy" (Soarin 200 > 0).
