"Alpha The Electromagnet Warrior, attack!"
Seeing that tiny Magnet Warrior recklessly charge at Sun Dragon, Goodwin, though suspicious, had no other choice but to shout, "Sun Dragon Inti, counterattack!"
Sun Dragon roared, molten energy streaming from its chest core to its four dragon mouths, converging into a blazing torch-like beam!
The outcome was predictable. The tiny Magnet Warrior was simply no match, overwhelmed before it could even get close, consumed by Sun Dragon's flames. Its body melted away, rapidly vanishing until nothing remained but molten iron.

The explosion sent Kira staggering backward, crashing into the glass wall behind him. The impact left the glass webbed with cracks, as a swirling cyclone of smoke and air spun outward.
It seemed nothing had changed—Sun Dragon easily defeated the Magnet Warrior. Goodwin sneered, "Snapped under the pressure of a Shadow Duel, have you?"
Kira replied, "Not necessarily."
Goodwin: "Nani?"
He sensed something was wrong and quickly looked up at his Sun Dragon. He saw the Magnet Warrior, though destroyed, suddenly unleashing a huge electromagnetic force, as if binding his Sun Dragon. Sun Dragon Inti's form flickered, shifting between solid and illusory, as though receiving a distorted transmission.
Finally, with a crackle of electromagnetic energy, Sun Dragon couldn't hold on—it faded into a phantom image and disappeared.
Goodwin was finally shocked. "Why? Sun Dragon Inti!?"
The sun should be indestructible—even if some hidden effect got rid of it, Moon Shadow Dragon would revive. If Moon Dragon fell, Sun Dragon would rise again. That's how it should work.
So where's my giant Sun Dragon? Why is it gone?
Only now did he notice the ring-shaped magnetic field beneath their feet crackling with electric arcs. His expression changed as he realized: "Magnetic Field—this field spell!?"
"Oh? You noticed," Kira said. "That's right. Magnetic Field has another hidden effect—once per turn, if one of your Rock/EARTH monsters battles an opponent's monster, and that opponent's monster isn't destroyed, at the end of damage calculation, return that monster to its owner's hand."
Goodwin: "!"
What kind of toxic field spell is this?
Not only can it revive Magnet Warriors each turn, but it also has this ability. In other words, if he leaves a low-level Rock monster in defense mode, I can't attack recklessly. If I battle with a boss monster and a Rock-type "fodder," it'll be a one-for-one trade.
And it bounces to hand, not destroys—so my Sun-Moon endless loop combo is broken without even being attacked. Sun Dragon Inti is a Synchro Monster—so instead of going to hand, it's returned to the Extra Deck. With Sun Dragon gone, Moon Dragon in the grave is useless.
Thinking of this, Goodwin shot Kira a dark look.
Did this guy… know about my Sun-Moon Dragon combo and choose this tactic on purpose?
But how could he? How would he know?
"Battle continues," Kira snapped his fingers. "Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior, attack Goodwin—or whoever you really are, directly!"
