Operation: World Domination

The board was set. The pieces were moving. And this wasn't Lord of the Rings.

"Ukraine attacking Scandinavia."

Quatre pouted. "Why me?"

"You're purple," Duo pointed out. "That's closest to pink."

"Why do I have to be purple, anyway?"

Trowa smiled and hugged Quatre. "Colour doesn't matter."

No, this was not Lord of the Rings.

Heero coughed pointedly, handing Quatre the dice. "Ukraine into Scandinavia."

They both rolled. Quatre sighed, removing the soldier from the board. Heero moved the cannon into Scandinavia. "Scandinavia into Iceland."

The dice rolled right through Trowa's men. Trowa sighed, as Duo reluctantly removed his black soldier. The cannon was quickly exchanged for a red horse and five men.

"Iceland into Great Britain."

Trowa looked up impassively, then took the dice. One red man was removed, then the green man was taken off, too.

"Northern Europe."

Once that was decided, Heero looked sceptically at the purple cannon, then the blue soldier next to it. "Southern Europe." That, too, was easily won. "Argentina into Peru." Another red soldier was lost here, then Heero moved on again. Finally, he took his risk card.

"My turn!" Duo grinned, placing 3 more troops on the board. Heero frowned, angry he'd forgotten that step. "Western US to Eastern US!" he shouted, smirking at Wufei. Scowling, Wufei rolled the dice, beating Duo, then removed the black soldier. Duo glared. "Just for that…" He swept his hand across the board, removing all pieces, and deposited a small black figure of Deathscythe in the middle of the board. "I gundam it! I win!"

"You can't do that, Duo," Quatre pointed out.

Duo pouted. "C'mon, Quat! There's less black troops anyway! That's-"

"Injustice!" Wufei sputtered, only just having got over the shock of the random action.

Duo turned his grinning face to Wufei. "Exactly, Fei-fei!"

Heero frowned, moved the gundam off the board, and re-placed the pieces – except for the gundam, of course, which he put in his pocket (or wherever he keeps his gun), so that Duo didn't start messing about again.

The game ended quite quickly. Heero and Wufei fought over South America for a while, until Heero finally wiped Wufei off the board. After that, it was a short time before Heero achieved his mission, to conquer Europe, South America, and a third continent, namely Australia.

Duo, however, completely failed his mission – to destroy all red troops – as he didn't attack Heero once. Trowa, after conquering North America, couldn't get a foothold in Africa, and while Quatre attacked Duo a few times, he couldn't wipe him out. Wufei, who had to conquer 18 territories, failed, partially due to the mini-war over South America.

They all agreed it was a good game, even though there were no mobile suits in it. To Duo's annoyance, Heero didn't give Deathscythe back for a few days.
