Chapter 1: A New Student and a New Egg!
An angel egg is a seed of an angel. Like a seed, the angel must have the same tender love and care and not only that will grow stronger with each fight . Like the angel, its deuce also gets stronger with every fight. And sometimes the miracle of a special power appears within the angel and deuce. A new miracle will rise again within the layer.
In a home in Tokyo, boxes still lined the walls and a few were being emptied by a man. He dug up a picture of him and a little girl and then looked at his watch. "Huh? Se will be…" He went upstairs and knocked on the door. "Adrienne Rose Stone, you're going to be late for your first day at your new school!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going!" a voice came from inside the room and the door opened and out came a girl with short, aurburn hair and light blue eyes. She was around 5'7 tall. She wore the Ariel Academy uniform.
"You look so precious honey!" her father exclaimed.
"I don't get why I have to wear this stupid thing!" she exclaimed.
"It's regulation here in Tokyo to wear uniforms. I know you didn't have to wear one back in San Diego but this time you have to. Here, your lunch money." Her dad said as he handed her some money. "Now have a good day."
"Thanks dad." She said and she left the house and went down the street heading for the school.
As she was walking she looked at some of the shops with a picture of an egg on the windows. "What's with the eggs? It's not even Easter." She said. She noticed some of the girls with little canisters with dolls in them. "Huh? Dolls? That sounds stupid. Whatever it is I don't want to have anything to do with it. She kept on walking to school.
At the main lab, Hikaru was practicing her moves with targets flying at her. After the last target being hit. Misaki Suzuhara, Angelic Layer champion from tears ago, took off her visor.
"Way to go Misaki!" Ogara exclaimed.
"Thank you!" she said and then she saw the clock. "Eeeks! I am going to be late for school!"
"Have a good day sweetie!" her mother said as she saw her leave.
"Thanks mom and good luck with your practice with Athena!" she exclaimed and she left.
"There she goes our little champion." Ichiru Mihara said.
"Ichiru, stop, even though she won two years ago doesn't mean she has to be called that all the time." Shuko said.
"It's true." He said. "By the way, how has her training been going?"
"It has been going well according to Ohara." She answered.
"I have a feeling she will win again during this year's championship." Ichiru said as he turned to head out.
"Chief, where are you going!?" Ogara asked.
"I am heading out to see how the angel sales are going. I have another feeling that a new deuce will be born today!" he answered and he left.
At the high school portion of Ariel Academy, Adrienne was sitting in her class, 2-D, all alone. She noticed that some of her classmates had the same canisters with angels in them. Even the boys had them.
"What is up with all these dolls?" she asked.
"What? You don't know?" she heard and turned to see a guy with spiky black hair.
"Know about what?" she asked.
"Angelic Layer, the reason why you see everyone with dolls in these tubes is because everyone plays the game Angelic Layer." The guy answered.
"It seems stupid to me." She told him.
"Stupid? It's not stupid at all! If you had an angel yourself you would know how fun it is. Oh by the way my name is Takehiro."
"Adrienne, I just started today."
"Oh yeah, you're the new girl from America. Welcome to Tokyo! You will enjoy living here I know it!" he exclaimed.
"One question, do you have one of those things called angels?" she asked.
"Yeah." He answered as he took out his. She saw a girl angel standing up with lavender hair and a white and lavender dress. "Her name is Lara. She's a light weight."
"Wait, you're a guy! How can you have a girl angel?" she asked.
"Oh, gender doesn't matter when you create an angel. Hell, I think there are a few girls here with some guy angels and vice versa with the guys like me." He answered. He noticed Adrienne put her head down. "Eh?"
"Wake me up when lunch starts, okay?" she asked.
Takehiro sighed.
Meanwhile in the third year portion of the junior high, Misaki found Tamayo and Kotaro in 3-B.
"Hey Misaki-chi!" Tamayo exclaimed.
"Hey there, how were your guys' summers been?" Misaki asked.
"They were great especially with training with Kotaro-chan!" Tamayo answered.
"For the last time quit calling me that! I am old enough to be called Kotaro-kun!" he exclaimed.
"Not to me, you're still the same old Kotaro-chan!" she exclaimed.
Misaki giggled.
"How about you Suzuhara, is Ohjiro still treating you well?" Kotaro asked.
"He is, he has been training with me so we can prepare for the next Angelic Layer games." She answered.
"You're not the only one, Hatoko has been training too. According to her there will be a lot of new people competing." Kotaro explained.
"Well, whoever will be competing Misaki-chi will come out on top like two years ago!" Tamayo exclaimed. Misaki nodded.
After school, Adrienne was walking off campus when she heard.
"Hey Adrienne!"
"Huh? Oh you." She said.
"Want to check out the layer?" he asked.
She sighed and responded, "I guess."
"Come on, this way!" he exclaimed and took her arm and guided towards one of the tournament centers. They entered the center where they saw layers with angels fighting and crowds watching them.
"So, this is where you guys play?" she asked.
"Yeah for practice only but there are big tournaments in the arena downtown. I competed but I lost after round five last year in the Kanto games." He answered.
"Hey! We meet again Nakano." They heard and they saw an older girl waiting for them with an angel in a kimono.
"Ah, hi there Sai! Looks like Shirahime's doing fine." Takehiro said.
"And same with Lara." Sai said. She noticed Adrienne with him. "Who's this?"
"Oh, this is Adrienne, she transferred from the United States not too long ago." He answered.
"I see, nice to meet you, I am Sai Jounochi."
"Likewise." Adrienne said.
"Okay, you can watch near the layer while Sai and I practice." Takehiro told Adrienne. She nodded as she took position near the layer that Sai and Takehiro rented for their practice.
"I will go first!" Sai exclaimed as she put the visor on. "Let the silver snow fall! Shirahime!" She threw Shirahime onto the layer. It landed on the layer. "The angel descends!"
"Very well! Grace the layer with lavender petals! Lara!" Takehiro yelled as he threw his angel onto the layer. "The angel descends!"
"Let's do it!" Sai exclaimed. Shirahime charged at Lara and started throwing kicks and punches while Lara dodged.
Adrienne sighed and she got up and left. "This is so stupd." She said and she bumped into someone. "Ah! Hey watch where you're going!"
"Why not you?" the man asked as he put his glasses back on. He noticed that she doesn't have an angel on her. "What the? You don't have an angel and you came out of a tournament center?"
"So? I think it's stupid!" she yelled.
"Stupid? Let me tell you something missy! Angelic Layer is a very awesome game!"
"How do you know so much about it?"
"Well…it's none of your business but I will tell you this much,t he name's Icchan! Now come with me!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the center.
"What!? Hey!" she exclaimed as she was pulled away.
Adrienne was dragged to the Piffle Princess. She asked, "What is this place?"
"This is Piffle Princess, a place were a lot of Angelic Layer related stuff and I came to see how sales are especially on the new silver eggs." Icchan said.
"Silver eggs?" Adrienne asked.
"Yep. This!" he answered and he handed her the egg. "I think you will learn your lesson with it along with all this other stuff!" Icchan exclaimed as he handed other things.
"Huh?" she asked.
"I must be going now." He sai and left.
"Wait! Damn it…" she said and she looked at the egg. "I guess I have no choice in the matter."
