Discalimer: I forgot this earlier, I don't own Gundam Wing
Quick note: This chapter was tricky, since Heero and Trowa kinda act the same so I thought it would be easier to get this match done first. Also I had chosen Soul Calibre 2 since i know the game well enough and I have a magazine with pictures of the characters, which made my life easyer than making something up.
Enjoy the read.
Chapter 2: Heero VS Trowa
So it was decided they were going to have a video game competition. Heero was quite happy they had chosen a fighting game and was really dying to go first. He knew he would probably have to play Duo or Trowa. Neither wanted to go first though, Heero was a trained soldier and wanted to win and they knew it.
What were they going to do? Who was going to go first? It was Quatre who had an answer. A simple answer, one no one even thought about. Flipping a coin. Duo picked Heads and Trowa Tails. Lucky for Duo it was Trowa who had won the bet.
"So what game are we going to play?" Duo asked eager to know so he could plan a strategy to beat Heero.
Heero walked calmly over to the shelf where Quatre kept the games, looked through them and pulled out a fighting game. Looking closely Duo saw it was Soul Calibre 2. "I think this will do"
"Yeah you'll win!" Duo pouted.
Laughing Quatre patted Duo on the shoulder. "There there, I think you'll be fine."
"Humph." Dou pouted crossing his arms. "At least I don't have to go first. By then he should be a bit calmer." Quatre laughed even more. They all knew it was true. When it came to martial arts, shoot'em ups and fighting games Heero was a bit of a maniac.
After a few minutes of planning they found that five people makes the game a bit hard to play properly so Quatre decided to go against the winner of the matches since he was the odd man out. The others felt it would be an easy win for them then anyways, so why not take the offer.
Sitting in front of the large screen Heero grabbed his controller and waited for the others to finish what ever they were doing.
Sitting next to Heero, Trowa reluctantly grabbed the controller and looked over to Heero as he usually does; without any expression.
"I will kill you!" Heero stated blankly.
"We'll see about that!" Trowa answered without emotion.
Both waited for the screen to show up and finish loading so they may pick their characters.
Trowa chose Cassandra who used a short sword and a shield. He felt she was easier to move around and was better at evading Heero's attacks.
Heero chose Mitsurugi, a character wielding only a sword. From the way the character moved he felt winning was easy.
It was, and Trowa knew he had lost the minute Heero smashed his character in the air in the first three seconds
"Whoa Heero slow down, I don't think that's very fair." Duo called out from the doorway. He had obviously gotten a few snacks to eat.
"Humph" Heero grunted as he moved his character towards Trowa's giving him the first K.O.
"I think Duo has a point you should slow down" Trowa sounded annoyed, which was a first. "If you get like this, you won't be able to beat the others if you exhaust yourself now."
Heero turned and stared Trowa down. There was no way he was going to lose first; he wasn't going to allow it. Trowa was just trying to stop him by getting him to clam down; well it wasn't going to happen.
"Hey, does anyone want some popcorn?" Duo asked trying to break up the staring contest.
"Sure Duo please that would be great." Quatre looked at the other two pilots who were still trying to outwit each other in between their match. Normally Trowa was calm and barely said anything, this was a change none of them expected. He was actually surprised that Duo didn't pick up on it right away. Looking over his shoulder Quatre realized that Wufei had become interested in the match.
"Are you sure you don't wan to try your hand at this?" Wufei looked at him a moment and sighed.
"I think I might but that would mean I would be playing against Maxwell doesn't it?"
"Yeah I was hoping you would." Quatre was sure he wouldn't pass it up. To Wufei it was his chance to beat Duo at something Duo liked.
"Why not" He sighed, "Maxwell had better be able to handle the fact that I will beat him." He said rather defiantly.
Quatre laughed and looked back to the others. The match was about to restart and he knew Heero was going to win. That was the way things always went with machines.
Looking back at the screen Heero pushed the start button to start the match. The match started quickly and it wasn't a surprise that Trowa was amazed at the speed Heero was playing and started to speed up his actions as well.
Quatre stared as both started to hit the buttons really quickly, almost too fast. He was worried for the poor controllers; at this rate they might not last through these two and that was no surprise.
The match ended quickly as Trowa practically impaled Heero's character. "Damn" Heero muttered, "That will not happen again, I will kill you."
"Your problem was you got overconfident and lost control while you were pushing the buttons to fast. It would have been a matter of time before I would have beaten you out of pure frustration." Trowa commented. "I doubt you will beat me again, there are only a few moves you're character can do, and it was unwise to chose one who had no defence."
"…" Was Heero's only response as he glared at the screen? He was going to win, he had to. If only he had the zero system then he would wipe the floor with Trowa's character.
"Where's Duo Quatre asked sounding concerned? Suddenly an explosion sounded from the kitchen.
"OWW" Duo yelled
"Maxwell what did you do?" Wufei called out.
"Ah…I'm okay Heh really." Dou sounded unsure though.
"I'll go check on him." Quatre volunteered sounding concerned again. He was right to be concerned because what he saw wasn't a very good thing. "Duo what happened."
There standing at the sink was a very singed Duo with a frightened look on his face as he stared at the microwave. "I don't think it likes me much." Duo laughed as he pointed at the microwave. "It just blew. I had no clue they could do that." He said as he reached behind him. "But at least we have some popcorn still." Just as he finished Wufei came in. "Hey Wufei want some popcorn?"
Wufei didn't respond instead he stared at the mangled microwave and then at Duo, then back to the microwave. "Did this happen during or after the popcorn?"
"After" Duo confirmed. "It just kinda blew up at me." He answered as if it happened before.
Wufei rolled his eyes. "We should give it a reward it almost got rid of you for me."
"Ha ha, you can't get rid of me that easy. Besides you can't kill the god of Death" Duo stated trying to look high and mighty.
"Try me." Wufei answered.
"Okay you two that's enough!" Quarter jumped between the two. "Lets just finish watching Heero's match," He said as he pushed the two pilots out to living room. Still Heero and Trowa were trying to get the other to back down.
"I am not going to forfeit the match, I will destroy your character." Heero stated blankly.
"I will stop you!" Trowa countered.
"Hey you two I heard you were button mashing. You do know that's not a very fair way to win." Duo said as he set the popcorn on the table, took a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.
"We were not button mashing, I knew perfectly well what I was doing." Heero responded loudly.
"Well you shouldn't push them that fast the controllers will break and then the rest of us can't play." Duo stated again
"Shut up or I'll kill you." Heero stated as he pulled a gun out of thin air and aimed at Duo's head. Duo backed up only to fall over the arm of the couch, as everyone else laughed.
"Okay I give already! Just put that away." Duo said sounding annoyed. He was getting tired of that gun. It was about time he got rid of it. Somehow.
The match started quickly like the other two only this time Heero took his time and waited for Trowa to jump at him. Grinning Heero used a special attack and knocked Trowa's character in to the wall and practically went nuts at the poor girl. There was no hope for Trowa's character. She was finished the second he made the fatal error of jumping to close to Heero's character. The Match ended within five minutes.
The second Heero knew he had won he turned to Trowa and grinned, something that frightened everyone who knew Heero. " I have won, you are now dead!" He stated.
Duo dog whistled. "Wow man that was awesome, any chance you would show me how to do that." Duo asked eagerly.
Everyone laughed when Heero looked at Duo and glared him nearly to the floor. "In the game or for real?"
"Eh?" Duo leaned back and tried to get away but Wufei stopped him. "Where are you going Maxwell? You still have a match with me." Wufei smiled, he was excited. For once he had the chance to smash Duo's hops of beating him at anything.
"You're playing now?" Duo asked looking surprised. "No matter I'll win and you won't know what hit ya!" Duo laughed as he reached for more popcorn.
TBC...
