Some mscr angelic layer au haxfume anyone?
Infume doesn't know what is happening anymore.
One second he's sulking because he lost in the first round of his first ever tournament, the next Hax, the Hax, is in front of him talking his ear off. The only reason that interaction ended was because he was dragged off by his two friends.
And he really thought that'd be the end of it, at least until he got good at the game. One interaction with the Deus that got him into playing Angelic layer in the first place. He honestly could die happily now. Except that wasn't the end of it.
He had sat himself down at one of the causal layers and was waiting for an opponent. When he looked up from his phone the last person he was expecting sitting across from him was Hax.
Hax adjusted his head gear before smiling at Infume and holding his angel, "Wanna battle?"
Infume fumbles with his own head gear, turning it on and watching as his doll came to life. Hax's smile grows, it's the same smile that he wears when he wins a tournament. He tosses is angel into the layer, which lands gracefully and starts skating around Infume's.
Both of their angels are light weight models. And Infume has watched enough Hax games to know how the other fights. Hax likes to out speed his opponent, forcing them to play defensive until he can push them off the layer. The angel's skates help with the speed, which often leaves Hax's angel at a disadvantage on rough layers but on th flat and empty causal layer he has no such problem.
Infume's own doll is also a light weight model. Though so far is strategy has been fast dodges and faster attacks. His doll is fast but not as fast as Hax's.
He startles slightly at the countdown in his ear. He needs to focus. He's able to dodge out of the way as Hax comes barreling towards him. He attempts a swipe at Hax, but he's just short of reaching. It's a game of back and forth for a bit, just dodging from the both of them. Infume takes care to keep his doll in the center of the layer.
He dodges another Hax attack, only instead of skating away Hax grabs him by the hood and starts dragging him. He knows this move. It's something Hax does against other light weight models, dragging them to the edge of the layer so he can push them off. He remembers reading the controversy it caused online. Luckily he stalked those online forums because he knows what to do.
He reaches around to grab one of Hax's legs, causing them to both go tumbling to the ground. He's closer to the edge than he would've liked but at least he didn't get thrown off.
They scuffle around before they're both standing again. Infume is back to dodging while trying not to walk further to the edge. He reaches out and manages to grab the other's scarf. It doesn't know Hax down but it does cause him to stumble. He stakes a bit further away in escape this time.
Infume enters a fighting stance, ready to dodge Hax's next shove. He's thrown off guard when instead Hax drops to the ground and uses his legs to swipe underneath Infume.
Infume blinks. Everything happened so fast. He stares wide eyes at Hax then at his doll on the ground then back at Hax. It's not like he expected to win but he hadn't even had time to react to that last move. Hax has thrown his doll off balance than shoved him off the layer.
"Good game," Hax smiles as he takes his head gear off, "You're really fast."
His disbelief must of shown on his face because Hax laughed.
"I can believe I had to use my secret move against you," Hax picks up his angel, "And even then, you did your research."
Well there goes any hope that his idol didn't know he was a fan.
What the hell is happening?
