Gundam Duel

Chapter 1: Annoying Americans

Heero's eye twitched slightly as the always annoying voice of a young American pierced the air. "Heero! You need to see this cool new game that they started playing at school! It's called Duel Monsters!"

Heero tried to ignore the overly active teenager by typing away at his laptop.

To his annoyance, his laptop screen was closed and was replaced by Duo's head and a deck of brown cards in his hand.

Heero sighed resigning to his fate, "You won't leave me alone until I play will you?"

"Nope." the American smiled.

"Ok." Heero almost smiled. "I'll tell you what. If I beat you then you have to leave me alone for a week." Heero was confident that he would win. He always beat Dr. J in poker and so Heero had come to think of himself as a good card player.

"But you don't even know the rules to Duel Monsters." Duo pointed out. "All well. If I win you will have to go with me to The Place."

Heero shuddered slightly and added, "Well I can solve the rule dilemma." With a few taps Heero had brought up a complete set of rules for the game on his trusty laptop via wireless internet.

"Great!" Duo laughed pulling the coffee table up and set his two decks on either end. He then placed himself across the way and began to shuffle his deck. "I'll go first ok?"

Heero nodded as he absent-mindedly shuffled his deck while scanning the rules on his laptop.

"Let's Duel!" Duo said setting his deck down and drawing his cards. "We'll play with 2000 LP"

//Heero: 2000

Duo: 2000//

"Hn." Heero scanned his hand. He had 3 low level monsters and 2 magic cards. According to the rules he could only place one monster on the field.

"I place Mystic Elf(800/2000)." Heero placed the card. "Well I cannot attack so it is your turn."

"Yeah!" Duo exclaimed setting a card down. "Blue Eyes Silver Zombie in Attack mode." (900/700)  "Attack Silver Fang!" Duo giggled. "Ok, that destroys your monster and you lose 100 Life Points."

//Heero: 1900

Duo: 2000//

"Hn." Heero huffed reading the part about defense mode. "I place Mechanicalchaser in attack mode."(1850/800) "I attack destroying Zombie and making you lose 950 LP."

//Heero: 1600

Duo: 1050//

Duo smirked as he drew his next card. "I place Shield Elf in Defense mode."(150/2100) "I also place this card face down."

Heero cocked an eyebrow reading the rules on Magic and Trap cards. "I use 7 Completed on Mechanicalchaser raising it's attack by 700 points."(2550/800) "He attacks destroying your Shield Elf."

Duo chuckled, "So you learned to use magic. Too bad I had this trap card. Mirror Force! It destroys your Chaser and cancels out his attack."

"Hn."

Duo laughed drawing a new card. He placed Silly Clown (1500/500). "Silly Clown attacks directly to your life points."

//Heero: 400

Duo:1050//

"hn" Heero replied drawing a card. It was a Magic Card. "I use Monster Reborn for bring back Mechanicalchaser. Then I play Soul Exchange to sacrifice both Mechanicalchaser and Shield Elf to Summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon."(3000/2500)

Duo's eyes went wide. Heero had already figured out how to summon an over Lv4 monster! Not only that but he did it with a Blue Eyes White Dragon using a complicated strategy. Perhaps Duo really had underestimated his silent friend.

"Blue Eyes attacks killing Silly Clown and doing 1500 damage."

//Heero:400

Duo: 0//

 "I win the Duel. Good night Duo." With this Heero closed his laptop and stood up going for his room.

Duo sat there looking at the Blue Eyes White Dragon card. Heero beat him. How? Duo chuckled. Perhaps he could duel Heero again. "I mean there is a tournament in a week at school. I bet Heero can't say no to a challenge. I'll ask him tomorrow."

Meanwhile upstairs, Quatre fiddled with a golden puzzle that his father had given him.

FIN.
