Across the windswept plains of the tundra, the two menacing mobile suits stood, seemingly staring eachother down. The scarred terrain surrounding their current position told a tale of a fast, violent battle. The current stand still in the duel was not a true cease fire. The fighting still waged on, silently. This time in the form of a data onslaught; The pilot of the red machine designated the "Vigna Zirah" was currently defending an infiltration in his main controls by the pilot of the "Oni Yousei."
"HAH!" yelled the pilot of the VZ as he finally set up an automatic defense that would not fail.
The mobile suit drew its dual beam sabers, it's mechanical wings flexing and tensing, preparing for it's next attack.
Suddenly, the VZ disappeared in a cloud of snow and dust, while the OY readied for what it new could be the final bout.


[19.8 Years Ago]

Milliardo stood at the podium, staring out over what he imagined would be vast ammounts of people. Yet, instead of seeing the faces of families, his gaze fell upon a few video cameras, and some teleprompters, preparing for his inaugeration speech.
He sighed, and turned around, looking for reassurance from his wife, and also commander of the military. Instead of recieving a warm smile to ease him, he gazed upon a true military officer. Her eyes were fixed onto a point somewhere above and far behind Milliardo's head. He knew he'd receive no assurance from her, at this moment.
He turned back to the cameras in time to see the teleprompters slowly start the countdown until he would give his speech- and change history in the process.
Ten, Nine, Eight.. he thought, to himself as the screens slowly cycled down to zero.
"Good evening to the people of Lairos.. As you all know i am Z-" he caught himself before he referred to his old name. "Milliardo Peacecraft. Earlier today, as i'm sure you all know, I was elected as Consulate for the planetary government, a position of which i did not ask for.........."

[The Duel]

The Vigna Zirah's incredible speed made it a deadly weapon, even in the hands of an inexperienced pilot. Under it's current controller, it could be comsidered a true masterpiece; a weapon of destruction and one of the quickest thinkers together formed a very lethal pair. As the pilot drew the dual sabers, and ignighted their blades into a eery, ice blue flame, he steered his mind to only one thought: Destruction Of The Enemy.
As the huge machine exploded towards the other mobile suit, time seemed to slow down to a crawl. During this seemingly endless period of 15 seconds, the pilot had assessed the Oni Yousei's current level of damage, approximate abilities, the pilot's personality, and had figured out an exact battle plan.
He realized that he wouldn't be able to do any vital damage to the mobile suit with one attack, so he made a quick 10 attack plus final blow combination to deal his enemy a swift death. The First ten strikes were designed to have the OY defend against, slowly drawing the point of defense from the final striking point, which would be accessable by the use of the second beam saber.
He finally reached the mobile suit, and thus began the pairs duel. The ten blows were dealt and defended against in a matter of 5 seconds, but the final blow, which was intended to sever the lower half of the Oni Yousei from the top, was defended even more successfully than the rest of the blows, leaving the VZ totally unbalanced, and open to attack.
As the pilot tried to comprehend what had gone wrong, he saw a large mass approaching the cockpit extremely fast, from the opposite side of his beam sabers. It hit him about the same time as the mass impacted, about what was happening.
The large mass was the foot of the Oni Yousei. The mobile suit had somehow, during the attack, started to turn, while still defending the attack, and also, reversing the side that the beam saber was on, allowing it to defend the final blow, while the OY built up momentum for a extremely powerful reverse roundhouse kick.
This is why the pilot of the Oni Yousei is the First Duelist, he realized, as he descended into the darkness of unconsciousness.
