amount of energy and it's rising indefinitely."

"The Energy level is already beyond dangerous," Ere shouted. "Incredibly hazardous storms are forming everywhere. If this continues, a large part of earth will we destroyed. What should we do?"

“Why in heaven didn't you inform me sooner?” Peorth asked hurriedly and closed her eyes for a moment. "Locate the source, inform Belldandy, Urd and Skuld and prepare an emergency shutdown if something's the matter with the system."

"We couldn't! It was just there all of a sudden," Ex told her, frantically trying to locate the source. "And I can't find the source. It seems like something's wrong with the system!"

"No, the system's working perfectly fine, it's got to be something else," Chrono told them.

"That's crazy, it's got to be the system, because I can't even locate Belldandy, Skuld or Urd on earth," Ere interposed.

"Calm down, everyone," Peorth ordered. "Those three have to be on earth. I talked to Hild and according to her they got out of Niflheim just fine. This means they have to be on earth, unless - unless, shut down every transaction between heaven and earth immediately and try to locate Belldandy in heaven! Now! Do not open the gates until I return, do you understand? "

"What's the use, Peorth?"Ex asked bewildered." No one can possibly influence the energy level on earth from heaven. That's simply impossible! "

"Do as I tell you! This is an order!" Peorth told them strictly and left the control room, while the three minor gods initialized the program.

"Emergency transaction shutdown in progress," Ere murmured under her breath.

"Energy level declining to normal," Chrono exclaimed wonderstruck. "I can't believe she was right about that! Who in heaven could've done such a thing?"

Peorth approached the residence of the three goddesses in a hurry. She could hear the sounds of people fighting within the mansion from this far already. Hastily, she landed in front of the door and wanted to open it as something crashed violently through it and into her. For a few moments she tried to fight off her aggressor, while the two of them landed unchecked on the ground, until she recognized her as Lind.

"What are you doing here, Lind?" Peorth asked baffled, got up and helped the other goddess stand up.

"I came here to bring Belldandy a message from the Almighty," she panted, but nevertheless charged right through the door again, Peorth being right on her tail. "So Urd, Skuld and I went into her room and talked to her, but she was merely looking at the mirror. And then, all of a sudden, she summoned the winds. At least, I think she did, but she didn ' t say one word. I didn't know it was possible to invoke this kind of power without singing or at least talking to the elements. "

"Why didn't you counter her attack?" Peorth asked perplexed as they ran up the stairs, fighting against the strong winds that seemed to issue from the top floor. "Sure, she's strong, but you had Urd by your side!"

"We didn't have a snowball's chance in hell," she replied loudly, since the howling of the wind drained her voice. "We can't even come close to her! She's totally nuts."

"She's not nuts," Skuld told them having sought shelter behind the open door of her sister's room. "She just can't control her emotions. Try to look in the mirror and you'll understand."

Peorth peeked into the room. With all the things flying across the room and Urd trying to penetrate her sister's shield, it was hard for her to even make out a mirror, let alone the image reflected in it. She fought her way closer to the mirror, trying not to be blown away by the wind like a green leaf in a light summer breeze, and was finally able to see the image in it; it was one single scene, repeating itself over and over again: a dark haired woman kissing Keiichi Morisato.

"Thank you, Sayoko," the black-haired man told her embarrassedly while scratching his cheek. "I guess that helped me forget about her for a second. It's really gotten late; do you want me to drive you home?"

"No, Keiichi, but thank you," she replied with a smile. "I live right around this corner. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the day after that."

Keiichi watched her disappear as she turned the corner.He sat back down on the bench, listening to the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. He did not know why the waves suddenly increased in ferocity and he did not care. Eventually, he got up and walked towards his bike. He loved riding it no matter how much it reminded him of the beautiful goddess. On a sudden impulse, he looked into the side mirror and considered his appearance when Peorth emerged from it.

"P - Peorth? What're you doing here?" he asked and almost fell to the ground with surprise if it had not been for her hands that had grabbed and forced him into the mirror with her. Only a blink of an eye later he found himself in a havocked room that was controlled by uncontrollable winds. Hastily, he looked around and saw Skuld peeking in the room from outside, Lind, who tried her best to protect herself and the house from damage, and Urd, who tried to come closer to a person standing in the middle of the storm. And then he saw her, Belldandy, standing in the middle of the room, her blank eyes firmly fixed on a mirror.

"Belldandy?" hey whispered softly.

His voice, however quiet in the storm, pierced through the loud howling of the wind and melted the heart of the hurt goddess. Belldandy turned her head around to him, while the storm subsided immediately. Hesitantly, he walked up to the beautiful woman, whose tears dropped to the floor one by one, exploding into a thousand smaller ones with a loud thud, each of them glistening every now and then like pure diamonds in the retracting rays of the everlasting sunshine . He gently wiped the tears off her face and embraced her.

"What are you doing, Bell?" he asked her quietly, feeling her quiver with emotions.

"I - I - I saw you, you and - oh, you must think I am a horrendous person!" she sobbed, "I saw how Sayoko kissed you and I could not bear the sight of it. The darkness in my heart, I could no longer control it, Keiichi!"

"It's okay, Bell," he reassured her soothingly, softly caressing her left cheek with his right thumb. "I could never ever think poorly of you. You're the most caring, most loving person I've ever met and I wish I could hold you like this forever; but I don't know why you reacted in this way. You don't love me, remember? "

"Keiichi," she whispered into his ear. "Keiichi, I do not love you, for this word is too weak to express what I feel when I am at your side. I was ordered to come back home forever and we are forbidden to bring mortals to heaven! I did not want you to wait for me, so I tried to make you hate me. That is why I said all those terrible things. I hope you can forgive me. "

"Belldandy," he said, smiling radiantly at her. "There's nothing to be forgiven. I'm just glad you love me, because I love you, I always have and I always will and I would've never been able to forget about you!"

"Keiichi," she answered happily.

"Are you sure there is nothing to be forgiven?" a deep and mighty voice echoed from everywhere at once and simultaneously from nowhere at all, speaking directly to their hearts and yet clearly audible to all of them."I think I have to apologize to you, my daughter. I think I have failed to tell you my intention in no uncertain terms and for that I must apologize. I have unnecessarily caused you trouble."

"The Almighty one," Peorth and Lind whispered at the same time, bowing their heads humbly.

"I did not want you to come home forever," the voice continued, "but to come home, for ever to be with him."

“Belldandy!” Urd snarled exhausted from the floor. "Don't tell me you, oh! My goddess! You two are one of a kind!"

"I am terribly sorry, Urd! Can you forgive me?" Belldandy asked worriedly. "Wait a moment, what you mean by 'for ever to be with him', father?"

The mighty voice, however, did not speak another word; instead, a pure and white ball of light flew through the door and stopped right in front of the two lovers. Urd, Skuld, Lind and Peorth all gasped as Belldandy swallowed the ball of light. Slowly, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against Keiichi's. A warm and pleasant feeling spread through his body as the ball of light flew into his mouth and directly on into his violently beating heart.

"I thought it a fitting gift for saving my daughters, Hild, Niflheim and suitable for your engagement," the voice told Keiichi, before fading into nothingness. "Immortality!"

Oh! My Gosh - this is the end of a truly cheesy one-shot. Geez, I haven't written a story in English in ages! I guess what I want to say is: sorry for the cheesy plot and the mistakes. I think I could've corrected a few of them, but I'm too busy being lazy. Anyway, based on the mistakes, what nationality do you think I am? Don't look at the bio, though, that's cheating!
