As "Dotscaper" was banished, Playmaker activates its effect to Special Summon it (0/2100). Playmaker then activates the effect of "Cynet Defrag" in his GY, paying half his LP to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in his GY in Defense Position and equipping "Cynet Defrag" to that monster (Playmaker: 4000 → 2000 LP).

At this point, Playmaker enters the Data Storm. Playmaker activates his Skill "Storm Access", which allows him to randomly access a card from a Data Storm when his LP is 1000 or less. Playmaker obtains "Vector Square Archfiend" and adds it to his Extra Deck.
Playmaker uses "Dual Assembwurm", "Dotscaper" and "Flick Clown" to Link Summon "Vector Square Archfiend" (2400/LINK-3/↙↑→) to the Extra Monster Zone. Playmaker then Normal Summons "Cyberse Wizard" (1800/800) to the bottom-left Link Point of "Vector Square Archfiend".

The Duel is conducted as a Speed Duel.
Turn 1: Blue Angel
Blue Angel activates the Field Spell "Trickstar Light Stage". As it was activated, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Light Stage" to add 1 "Trickstar" monster from her deck to her hand. She adds "Trickstar Lilybell" to her hand. As "Lilybell" was added to her hand by a method other than drawing, Blue Angel activates its effect to Special Summon it (800/2000). Blue Angel then Normal Summons "Trickstar Candina" (1800/400). As it was Normal Summoned, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Candina", to add 1 "Trickstar" card from her deck to her hand. She adds an unknown card.
Blue Angel uses "Candina" and "Lilybell" to Link Summon "Trickstar Holly Angel" (2000/LINK-2/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Blue Angel activates the Spell Card "Trickstar Vision" to Special Summon a "Trickstar" monster from her hand with its effects negated and ATK halved, then causing both player to draw a card. Blue Angel Special Summons "Trickstar Narkissus" (1000 → 500/1800), draws, then subsequently Sets her drawn card. Blue Angel activates the effect of "Trickstar Lycoris" in her hand, revealing it, then targeting 1 "Trickstar" monster on her field to Special Summon "Lycoris" (1600/1200), then sending the targeted card back to her hand. Blue Angel targets "Narkissus" and Special Summons "Lycoris" to the bottom-left Link Point of "Holly Angel". As a "Trickstar" monster was Special Summoned to a zone "Holly Angel" points to, its effect activates, inflicting 200 damage to Ai-B. As a "Trickstar" monster inflicted effect damage to Ai-B, the effect of "Light Stage" activates, inflicting an additional 200 damage (Ai-B: 4000 → 3800 → 3600 LP). As Ai-B took effect damage, Blue Angel activates the effect of "Narkissus" in her hand to Special Summon it (1000/1800).
Turn 2: Ai-B
Ai-B draws. As a card(s) was added to Ai-B's hand, the effect of "Lycoris" activates, dealing 200 damage for each card added, and "Light Stage" deals 200 more (Ai-B: 3600 → 3400 → 3200 LP). As Ai-B took damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster, the effect of "Holly Angel" activates, causing it to gain ATK equal to the damage taken until the End Phase ("Holly Angel": 2000 → 2200 ATK). Ai-B activates the Continuous Spell Card "Abyss Invitation". Ai-B then activates the effect of "Tentacluster Darkwhip" (100/500) in its hand, paying 500 LP to Special Summon it (Ai-B: 3200 → 2700 LP). As a monster in Ai-B's hand activated its effect, the effect of "Narkissus" activates, dealing 200 damage after the effect resolves (Ai-B: 2700 → 2500 LP). As either player took 500 or less effect damage, except by its own effect, the effect of "Abyss Invitation" activates, dealing 200 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 4000 → 3800 LP). The effect of "Light Stage" activates (Ai-B: 2500 → 2300 LP), followed by the effect of "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2200 → 2400 ATK), then the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 3800 → 3600 LP). Ai-B then activates the Spell Card "Machine Duplication" to Special Summon two copies of a Machine monster with 500 or less ATK from its Deck. It Special Summons two more copies of "Darkwhip" (100/500 each).
Ai-A uses the three copies of "Darkwhip" to Link Summon "Tentacluster Nautilus" (0/LINK-3/↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Nautilus" was Link Summoned, AI-B activates its effect to Special Summon a "Tentacluster" monster from its hand to a zone it points to. It Special Summons "Tentacluster Blastsucker" (400/400) to the bottom Link Point of "Nautilus". Ai-B then Normal Summons a second copy of "Blastsucker" to the bottom-left Link Point of "Nautilus". Ai-B then activates the effect of "Nautilus", to target all monsters it points to and destroys them. As a Link Monster's that targets it on the field is activated, Ai-B activates the effect of "Blastsucker", destroying it to inflict 400 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 3600 → 3200 LP). The effect of "Abyss Invitation" then activates (Blue Angel: 3200 → 3000 LP). The effect of the other "Blastsucker" activates, followed by the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 3000 → 2600 → 2400 LP).
Ai-B activates the effect of the first "Blastsucker" in its GY, banishing it to inflict 400 damage to Blue Angel (Blue Angel: 2400 → 2000 LP). The effect of "Abyss Invitation" activates (Blue Angel: 2000 → 1800 LP). As a monster in Ai-B's GY activated its effect, the effect of "Narkissus" activates, dealing 200 damage to Ai-B (Ai-B: 2300 → 2100 LP), followed by the effect of "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 1800 → 1600 LP), then "Light Stage" (Ai-B: 2100 → 1900 LP), then "Abyss Invitation" again (Blue Angel: 1600 → 1400 LP), then "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2400 → 2600 ATK). Ai-B activates the effect of the second "Blastsucker" in his GY (Blue Angel: 1400 → 1000 LP), then the effects of "Abyss Invitation", "Narkissus", and "Abyss Invitation" activate/apply once again in successive order, followed by "Light Stage" and "Abyss Invitation" once again, and then "Holly Angel" following after (Blue Angel: 1400 → 1000 → 800 → 600 → 400 LP; Ai-B: 1900 → 1700 → 1500 LP; "Holly Angel": 2600 → 2800 ATK).
Ai-B activates the Continuous Spell Card "Flexible Tentacluster", then activates its effect to Special Summon a banished "Tentacluster" monster in Attack Position. It Special Summons "Blastsucker" (400/400). Also, the first time Ai-B would take battle damage from an attack involving a "Tentacluster" monster, it will not. "Blastsucker" attacks "Lycoris". As Ai-B's monster declared an attack, Blue Angel activates her face-down "Trickstar Cascade", returning "Light Stage" to her hand to negate the attack. During the End Phase, the effect of "Holly Angel" expires, and its ATK returns to normal ("Holly Angel": 2800 → 2000 ATK).
Turn 3: Blue Angel
Blue Angel Normal Summons "Candina" (1800/400), then as it was Normal Summoned, she activates its effect to add 1 "Trickstar" card from her deck to her hand. Blue Angel uses "Narkissus" and "Lycoris" to Link Summon "Trickstar Black Catbat" (2000/LINK-2/←→) to the bottom-left Link Point of "Holly Angel". The first effect of "Holly Angel" activates (Ai-B: 1500 → 1300 LP), followed by "Abyss Invitation" (Blue Angel: 400 → 200 LP), then the third effect of "Holly Angel" ("Holly Angel": 2000 → 2200 ATK). As Ai-B took damage from the effect of a "Trickstar" monster, the effect of "Black Catbat" activates to cause all face up monsters Ai-B controls to lose 200 ATK for each monster it points to. "Black Catbat" points to "Candina" at its left Link Point ("Blastsucker": 400 → 200 ATK). As Blue Angel controls a "Trickstar" monster, she activates the Quick-Play Spell Card "Trickstar Temptation", to target 1 monster whose ATK is different from its original ATK and return it to the hand. Blue Angel targets "Blastsucker".
"Holly Angel" attacks and destroys "Nautilus", with the effect of "Flexible Tentacluster" causing Ai-B to take no battle damage from that attack. "Black Catbat" attacks directly (Ai-B: 1300 → 0 LP).
