Secret Deus

Angelic Layer, it's an highly popular game involves robotic dolls fighting each other while controlled by their user's, the Deus, brainwaves.

It was first created by Mihara Ichirou, the father of Angelic Layer, in 20XX before the robot wars. First started as an innocent idle suggestion from a young paralysed woman, Suzuhara Shuko, who worked with Ichirou (also known as Chief Mihara, Icchan, Icchan-san) on his research to help bring back movement to her legs with brainwaves, sadden they wouldn't received funding for the research. Shuko just wished her daughter, Misaki, played with the dolls they used in their research. She thought controlling it with their mind would be fun.

Inspired by Shuko, Ichirou bring the idea up to his superiors. Upon getting approval, they made the first series of Angel dolls, specially made robotic dolls that can move according their Deus' mind.

It was an instant hit. Many people, mostly girls, bought their own Angels and start playing Angelic Layer. The profits were used to fund Ichirou's research to help paralysed people with brainwaves problem. Though the first series of Angels was latter discovered with a glitch that activated their Hyper Modes when their hit points (HP) was below 50 percent. While this may make the Angels more powerful, they're more prone to more damage. So the Angelic Layer Company removed it from latter models, but some people still use first generation Angels.

Angelic Layer last for decades until Dr. Light and Dr. Wily created the first, human-sized robot. But the problem starts when Dr. Wily stole the first eight Robot Masters and tried to use it for world domination.

The game came to a sudden halt in 20XX, with humans trying to live with the wars going on. When it all ended, mankind can now live in peace and many debated on whether or not to revived Angelic Layer.

This is around the time when Cain discovered X inside a capsule in 21XX.

The rest is history; however, humans decided to revived Angelic Layer after nearly two centuries. The earlier concerns were what if the Angels became defective and turn against mankind, as they wouldn't want history to repeat itself. After much debate and negotiating, the much beloved game was back and keeps up with modern technology. Also, the game was first strictly for humans' use and amusement, afraid if the Maverick Virus will transfer into the system. But later on, Reploids can now played the game, not surprisingly with more females then males.

Angelic Layer was changed a little for Reploid's brainwaves, but it wasn't much as it was similar to humans' on sending signals to the Angel. But some people was still sceptical about the decision, but didn't complain when nothing bad happens.

Now, we'll go to the present...

--Asian Continental AL Competition, Tokyo, Japan. 22XX--

In Tokyo Dome, there was much cheering inside, humans and Reploid alike. It was the finals of Asian Continental AL Competition, for the Asian Championship and privilege to compete in the International Tournament.

"Look at her go! Angel Roll is definitely in the lead in HP! Will Angel Ying Fa make her comeback?" The commentator shouted, as the two Angels fight on the electromagnetic Layer arena, with their respective Deus sitting on electronic chairs opposite from each other.

One of the Angels was a fairly small blonde lightweight-type, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail by a green ribbon, with some loose locks on either side of her face and turquoise blue eyes. Her outfit was a red dress with long black/dark blue sleeves with the ends folded to show it is white underneath and white rectangular, flap-like collar around her neck with two black circles on the front, red boots that cover most of her shins and long black/dark blue socks that reach her knees.

Her opponent was a Chinese styled Angel; raven hair tied back in a bun with some hair streaming down and pink/red Chinese fighting dress and small black shoes.

Ying Fa's Deus gritted her teeth before commanding her Angel to attack, while Roll's Deus watched calmly.

Ying Fa charged at Roll, only for the blonde to move out of the, grab the former's arm and twisted it behind the dark-haired Angel.

"Ooohh! That gotta hurt!" The commentator remarked, as the monitor hanging above the Layer, showing the Angels' current status, show Ying Fa's HP went down to 30.7 percent while Roll's stay at a high 95.8 percent.

The crowd cheered, rooting for their favourite Angel. Many were happy at Roll while others were rooting for Ying Fa to fight back. Roll's Deus smiled, looking up a little bit.

"Only 30 seconds left, people! Can Ying Fa turn the table?"

"Let's do it, Roll." When her Deus said those words softly, the blonde Angel suddenly disappeared.

The Chinese Angel looked around, searching for her opponent. Then, Roll reappeared in front of her, surprising both Ying Fa and her Deus, before pushing the Angel out of the Layer.

"LAYER OUT! WINNER, ANGEL ROLL AND DEUS ALEX!" The commentator exclaimed, as the crowd cheered wildly, chanting the winner's name. "As you all know, they're our Asian champions 5 times in a row! They'll be representing us all in the Internationals, five months from now in America! LET'S GIVE IT ALL FOR ALEX!"

Alex took off his blue wireless AL Headset version 3.0, smiling at everyone. He was a young adult looking Asian with messy raven hair and emerald green eyes. He wears an blue/white patterned T-shirt and jeans with sneakers and socks.

There was an increase in fans shouting, many of them are variants of 'I LOVE YOU, ALEX!' and 'YOU'RE THE BEST!'

He blushed a bit. He may be used to it, but it can get to him from time to time. 'I guess I should understand what Zero went through, somewhat.'

As the chairs lowered down, Roll walked over to Alex, then jumped out of the Layer and already deactivated when he catches her. The emerald-eyed Deus gets out of his chair and walked over to his opponent.

She looked up as Alex came over, but blinked when he extend a hand before accepting it and shake.

"Look at this, folks! This is a sign of true sportsmanship!"

"I wouldn't mind battling you again, you're good but I'm sure with some more practice, you'll be better next time." Alex said, as he and Ying Fa's Deus let go of their hands.

"Yeah, you better watched out or I'll beat you next time we met!" She exclaimed, with a grin.

"I'll be looking forward for that."

Hours afterward, Alex sighed. It took him a while to escaped the fangirls who wanted his autographs and taken photos with him. He liked the attention, but it's a getting too much for his taste. It comes with being one of the few male Deus in Angelic Layer, much less a well-known one.

Checking his internal clock, he realised it's getting late. 'Better head back to HQ, Zero and Axl will wonder where I am.'

With that, Megaman X quickly went back to Maverick Hunter Headquarter, with his AL Headset and Roll in his backpack.

To be continued...
