If my opponent has Duraludon VMAX with the "Skyscraper" Ability in play, when I use Inteleon VMAX's "G-Max Spiral" attack and choose to return the only Special Energy card attached to Inteleon VMAX to my hand, does "Skyscraper" prevent the damage or not?
The choice to remove the Special Energy card is made first, but then damage is done and finally effects of the attack. So removing the Special Energy card is an effect that doesn't happen until damage has been done and therefore blocked by Skyscraper.
