Nes Go Boom Boom Part 1

Author Notes: Our first Angelic Layer story~ Ok So Sen and I love this manga to death. Well we love Clamps work in general but Angelic Layer was such a cool concept for us. So maybe someday we'll do a series based on it, but for now it'll have to simply be a one shot.

Bring on the fireworks and food, because the 4th of July is here and it's time to party~ My character and Sen's character will be in this and with that we don't own Angelic Layer~

3rd P.O.V

"WELLLLCCCCOOOMMEEEEE LADIES AND GENTS TO THE ONE AND ONLY...ANGEEEEELIIIIIICCC LAYYYEEEERRRRR CHAMPIONSHIP!"

The crowd screams, going crazy as the announcer hypes everyone up. It was the final round of the competition. Here young and old, man and woman alike compete in a heart stopping battle of wits and strength with their Angels.

"Innnnnn this corner... WE. HAVE. MIIIIISAKIIIIICHIIII~ And her angel...HIIIIIIKARUUUUUU~" A young looking girl steps out with high tech gear around her face. A bright, excited smile on her face.

On her shoulder was a little toy, dressed up in a battle suit the pink haired doll was wearing similar gizmos. Her fans shout and screech her name in admiration. She worked so hard to make it to where she is now. Facing her opponent, a fire in her eyes.

"Annddddd her opponent! WE. HAVE. ARISUUUUUUU FUUUUJUSAKIIII~ And her angel...ALLLLIIICCCEEEE~ These two ladies will be going mano e mano in the latest angelic layer battlefield...ICE!"

This was a day not like any other. Shi watched the latest battle rerun. It was a good match and she could see how her friend Misaki became one of the best Angelic Layer players in Japan. She smiled thinking of the young middle schooler. Misaki Suzuhara wasn't like most.

Despite her size, her unwavering devotion and adoring passion kept her on top, using her eyes and wit made it to being the Angelic Layer regional Champ and beyond. She even got to battle to deadly Goddess Athena, who's owner was surprisingly her own mother.

With an amused huff she flipped to a different rerun. One she hadn't see in an actual tournament. "It's incredible folks! Man of Many Faces and his angel Phantom are sweeping victories all over Europe! To think just 3 months ago this young looking man with a mask had never even played before. Now here he is topping all players in his wake!" Shi rolls her eyes.

There was only so many times she could listen to an announcer gab and gab. She turns off the tv, rising to her feet with a stretch. "Well...best go wake up Nes. She's probably starving." The 16 year old yawns, glancing at the clock.

"Yeah...definitely probably starving." Shi unlike most was an early riser, of course with her being a well known Angelic Layer player, and caring for her younger 14 year old sibling who's just as popular if not more, it tends to make her a busy workaholic.

The mornings were most likely the only time where she's able to rest in peace. Walking down the hall she notices something odd. A dark miasma coming from her sisters room. Frankly it worried Shi.

Her and Nes were complete opposites. In more ways then one. Nes was basically a happy go lucky southern belle with a dash of hyperness with a reckless streak. While Shi was the cool calm queen of strategy, never allowing anyone to know what she's thinking.

It was why she and her sister tag teamed and played partner competitions. There were barely any holes in their teamwork. However seeing a dark orb of despair and depression ooze out of the room left Shi very concerned. She opens the door, seeing her sister sighing and moaning.

"I can't believe we're going to miss it..." Shi leaned against the door frame. "What's wrong Nes?" The young girl looks up to her sister, her eyes tearing a bit. "It's the date Shishi...we're going to miss it. We've never missed it before!" The teen narrows her eyes in thought, eyebrows scrunching up in confusion. "The date?"

The older girl was drawing a major blank. In all honesty, Shi would be lucky to know what day of the week it was, let alone the actual date. Tears leak down her sisters face. "You-you don't remember!? We would celebrate it every year! All the fun and explosions!" Shi's eyes widen in shock.

Her realization confirmed when she looks at the calendar. "Ah...that's right. We've been so busy that I completely forgot. And we're not in America anymore. They don't celebrate it in Japan."

She holds her arms out, a gesture Nes accepts immediately. Jumping into her partners arms, crying. Shi knew...she just had to do something...and she had the perfect person in mind to help her with it.

Time Skip...

"Hi Nes, Shi! How are you today?" Misaki wave to the two, before looking at Nes in surprise. "Hello Misaki. I'm well, Nes is rather...depressed. Do you know where Mihara is?" The middle schooler nods vigorously. "Yeah Mr. Icchan is speaking with my mom at my house." Shi hums in thanks.

Misaki frowns sadly. "What's wrong with Nes?" The 16 year old sighs, scratching her head. "We're gonna miss it..." Confusion marks were all over the girl as Nes continues to mumble. "Misaki you know we're from America right?" She nods still not understanding.

"Well in America, every 4th of July, we celebrate Independence day. It's a big thing for us in the United States, we party, we eat, and late at night we watch fireworks shoot into the sky and dazzle all those who see it." A small crowd of people listen in on the explanation.

Ohhing and ahhing in unison. "However, because of our move we'll be unable to really celebrate it as it is not a holiday in Japan. And seeing how it is one of Nes's most precious holidays...she's suffering." Hence the crying and painful moans of agony.

Shi sighs, already feeling tired. "Now I need to speak to Mihara, Misaki do me a favor and watch over Nes for me." Not even one minute after she walks into the house, does the elite angelic layer player lose the 14 year old. "Ahhhhh! NES-CHAN!? WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU!?" Panic mode has activated.

"So if it isn't Shi! I see you've come alone...you have come alone...right?" The crazy looking professor looks left and right, scanning for the younger teen. "Well she came with me, but at the moment is occupied." He nods, leaning over the counter. "So what do you need?"

Now here comes the difficult part. The creator of the Angelic Layer game was many things, weird, crazy, annoying...but he's also a genius. He listens to her plea with a frown. "I'm not sure if I can do it..." Misaki comes in and out of habit Icchan goes into hiding.

He waits...patiently for his prey. "Shi-Chan I can't find Nes-Chan!" He struck, leaping from behind the counter. "ICCHAN GO BOOM!" The short girl shrieks in fright. And then, everyone is frozen.

Especially the game creator. He looked left, and right. Usually right after he would make his grand entrance. Nes would come, and do hers, yet...she never came. He pales looking at Shi. "Is your sister...Ok? She is alive, right?" His reply is a small smile. "She's alive...but horribly depressed...will you do it now?"

Her answer came immediately. "OF COURSE! Leave it to me~ I'll have it done by today's tournament. I needed new inspiration for the latest addition to the game anyways." Both pull up their thumbs, an agreement was made.
