"May the power of the sea be with you always Ariel." Said Katie just loud enough so Hannah could hear.
"We may not have anything guiding you yet Sakura but I promise to give you my best." Hannah whispered so no one could hear.
Ariel was the first to move. She charged forward with her arm outstretched as if to knock Sakura over. Hannah wasn't expecting this, "Eek!" Sakura fell down, avoiding the hit but also looking sort of embarrassed.
"Uh oh. Guess Ms. Leonhart panicked. Sakura is a sitting duck now." The announcer said watching the battle very closely.
A sitting duck? Oh no. We'll just have to try and stay on our feet. Sakura stood up again waiting for another attack; we'll be ready this time. Hannah tried to concentrate more.
The red haired angel came again but was in for a little surprise. Sakura leapt forward grabbed Ariel's shoulders and actually balanced herself on top of the other Angel. Katie watched in horror, Ariel began shutting down as Katie paid attention to Sakura's moves instead of helping Ariel.
Lading back on her feet, still holding onto Ariel's shoulders Sakura threw Ariel off the layer with all of her might. Ariel almost stayed on, she could have had she not shut down. "Ariel!" Katie pulled off the headset and dashed over to her angel.
"Layer out, Ariel! Victory Sakura!" the announcer shouted. There was a roar from the excited crowd.
Hannah picked up her Angel and gave her a hug. Katie was crouched on the ground picking up her angel. Hannah trotted over with the pink haired angel on her hand. "Is Ariel alright?" she asked kneeling down next to Katie. The girl nodded, "That was a great fight, you gave me a run for my money till the end." Hannah said holding out her hand, "I'm really glad I fought you."
Katie smiled, "Have you been playing Angelic Layer for awhile. I mean very few speed angels could pull off a move like that."
"Actually I've only been playing for an hour and a half. Sakura is a speed and balance angel. I think she's mostly speed though."
The girl was shocked to hear that Hannah had only been playing for a little while. "I built Ariel with a maximum emphasis on power, but she was also built lightweight. Someone told me that certain parameters in your angels cause bad weaknesses. I accidentally made Ariel with bad parameters. It's not that she has a disadvantage but it's harder to win. Sakura is built very well. Balance allowed her to do that balancing act on Ariel's shoulders and it gives her a little more power and defense. You did a good job."
"You did a good job on Ariel too. I almost didn't win." Hannah smiled, "I think we have to get off the stage now. I would like to battle you again sometime."
"Alright! We'll battle again really soon!"
"So what do you think Chief? We're already sending out her angel card."
"She will be a very strong. She believes in her angel, even based it off a strong character. Doesn't that remind you of someone?"
There was a small giggle, that of a teenage girl probably.
The woman's popped up from the darkness of the room again, "Yes it does. But I'm afraid things will not be so easy for Miss Leonhart next time. Katie wasn't concentrating when Ariel needed her help, So Ariel layered out because she shut down and couldn't stay on the layer. Sakura got lucky."
"Still, I think she's going to be great."
"Our Angel card should be here soon. We're going to win lots of battles and rack up points so we can buy more things for you Sakura." Hannah said holding her Angel. "I promised to give you my best and I did. We won our first battle! Now we'll enter the tournament with Allie and Lulu." Hannah grinned, "And after the tournament we'll got to the nationals!" Hannah glanced down at her Angel; it looked like Sakura was, smiling.
