Angelic Layer: Next Evolution Angel
Vampwriter and Hypershadow
Disclaimer: I do not own Angelic Layer. Any characters I make up are all my own, however I would not be against taking requests to have characters and Angels of other Deus sent to me. I will of course mention your names at the beginning of each story to tell whom each character is. Please send by e-mail: . I also take by review. Flames not allowed under any circumstances.
Vampwriter: Hi, I'm Vampwriter, otherwise known as Vamp and I'm the author of this story... well duh! Of course I'm the author, otherwise my name wouldn't be with the title. Anywho, in this story my character goes by the name of Alan Sheridan and his angel's is Zero. This story takes place about five or so years after the end of the anime. Bear with me as I'm not fully up on the rules of AL, but if you could help me out a bit it would be appreciated.
Hypershadow: My coauthor, more or less, he is also my brother in real life and he's agreed to enter an angel! (cheers loudly) He comes up with a lot of his own weird ideas and creates his very own comic strips; I still think that he should have tried to get them published to tell the truth, so does my mom. In this story the character he came up with goes by the name of William Sheridan, my character's little brother. We decided to keep with the sibling thing because it makes things a bit easier to manage. His angel's name is Mishka.
Vamp: Hey bro, should we get on with it then?
Shadow shrugs his shoulders.
Shadow: Yeah sure. Why not? Do you want to introduce the chapter or should I?
Vamp thinks for a moment, a hand idly rubbing his chin.
Vamp: I'll let you have the honors.
He bows in his seat.
Shadow: Thanks.
He turns to the audience. He dramatically throws out his arms.
Shadow: And now, ladies and gentlemen, without any further commentary from us, here is the first chapter of AL.
Vamp nods his approval.
Vamp: Very nice.
Shadow: Thanks bro.
Chapter One:
Creation
A pair of boys work silently in a lab passing tools back and forth between them as they work on putting the final touches on the angels that they have been working on for three years. William, the younger of the two, has shoulder length dirty blond hair and is eight to ten years old. His eyes are currently hidden, like his brother's, behind a pair of tinted work glasses. He actually stands taller than his thirteen year old brother at 5'1" to his brother's 4'8". He turns to his brother, "Hey bro, pass the relay connector, will ya'?"
Alan Shepard turns to reveal a sweat-covered brow and face. He too has shoulder length hair, only his was red. He looks blankly at his brother for a moment before the request registers with him. "Hm, oh sure."
He looks around the worktable for it for a moment before finding it under some stuff and handing it to his brother. "Hey thanks."
Alan nods to him, "Yeah, sure." He turns back to his angel laying face down on the table as he makes final adjustments to her spine. With a final sigh he puts the tool he was using back in its holder and seals up the angel's back. "All done." It has been three long years start to finish but finally she was done. All that was left was to clothe and test her.
William turns away to look at Alan's angel for a moment before putting the finishing touches on his angel. Unlike his brother he had gone with a male design angel and had based it, superficially, off of one of his friends from school. He nods to himself as he, too, seals up his angel and wipes the sweat from his brow with a damp cloth. He turns once again to his brother. "So should we call it a night?"
Alan turns again to his younger brother, then turns back again, looks over the angel before him, thinks for a second, then nods. "Yeah, I think we can leave them for now," he yawns, "Lets go get some shuteye. We have school in the morning, right?"
William looks at him wide eyed for a moment, then smacked him on the back of the head. "Dude, hello! Teacher workshop! We don't have school for the next week because they're doing something with the computer systems."
Alan rubs his head, "Geez, sorry. I forgot all right!? My brain's not functioning properly right now, I need some sleep." They shut everything down for the night and headed for bed, both brothers dropping right to sleep almost as soon as their heads touched their pillows. Neither brother were aware of the events the future held for them.
