Nihao!
Once again I have gotten my homework done, and have decided to
entertain you all with chapter two of part two of Knights. (Try saying
that three times fast. ^_^) Thanks to everyone who sent in C&C for
chap1. You will be thanked when I finally post this to my page. Once
more, as always C&C will be read, applied, replied, and thanked. This
does mean that I am inviting you to tear this puppy apart, I have no
illusions that I am in any way good with grammar or spelling. So please,
anything you send can only make it better.

PS I know that it�s Keiichi, not Kenchi, I have no clue why I spelled it
that way, but I think it was Skuld�s fault. ^_^

Knights
Part two: If Wishes Were Ice-cream Cones
It was later, and the young goddess Skuld had been revived by feeding
her some ice-cream. Nene was sitting in the living room explaining just
how she had gotten here.
�The last thing that I remembered was me shouting for Syila to get out
of the way and leaping at her. I felt my armor give, pain, then the next
thing I know I was on the back of a winged horse. This woman in a horned
helmet was taking me somewhere,� she said.
The Goddess known as Belldandy nodded, �That was a Valkire, they are
the chooses of the slain. You must have earned a place in Valhalla,� she
said.
�Well I didn�t get a chance to see it. The horse stopped and I found
myself in front of the biggest computer I had ever seen. There was a
young man there.�
Nene remembered with a small grin her meeting with God.
Nene stared at the largest computer she had ever seen. It was taking
all of her will not to go try and use it. �I wonder how much memory and
RAM it has� she wondered with a dreamy sigh.
�Do you like Yggdrasil?� a voice said.
�Uh huh,� Nene said still thinking about how a game of Wing Commander
XX would run on a computer like that.
It finally got through to her that there was a young man who was
grinning at her. She stopped drooling on Yggdrasil and focused on the
young man before her.
�Uh hi,� she said.
The young man smiled gently at her, �Hello Nene.�
�How do you know my name, and where am I anyway?� Nene asked.
�You are in the control room of Yggrdrasil, and as for how I know your
name, well I know everyone�s name Nene,� He said.
Nene got her mind off of Yggdrasil and looked at Him, really looked at
Him. He was young, maybe not much older than Priss, but there was
something about Him, some wisdom, or experience beyond what anyone could
ever know.
A bit afraid she asked, �Who are you?�
He smiled again, �I, Nene, am Kami-sama.�
Nene quietly fainted.
When she came to, Kami-sama was looking at her with concern, �Are you
all right my child?� He asked.
Nene nodded, �I�m sorry, but for some reason I thought you said you
were God.�
�I did say that,� He said.
�That�s what I thought you said,� she said, and fainted again.
*********
Skuld looked at Nene, �So how does your being the Goddess of the
Internet come into this?� she asked.
�He said that the net had gotten so big that it needed a goddess, He
said He decided that I would be perfect for the job,� Nene said.
Urd was frowning a bit, �So how come the squirt has to train you?� she
asked. Skuld reached for her hammer, only to be stopped by a look from
Belldandy.
�Well, He said that because I already knew Skuld, and as Skuld is the
Goddess who knows the most about computers, she should be the one to
train me,� Nene said.
�Wait a minuet, how to you know Skuld?� Urd demanded.
�We used to chat over the net,� Nene replied.
Belldandy truned to Keiichi, �Is it all right if Nene stays here while
she trains with Skuld?�
Keiichi, who would probably put his foot in a garbage disposal if
Belldandy asked him to, had no problem with yet another Goddess staying.
�We can have you sleep in Skuld�s room Nene,� Belldandy said.
The days past by quickly. Nene, as it turned out, was a quick student.
Not to say that she didn�t have problems. For some reason, she never
could master any kind of spell casting. She seemed to be more like
Skuld, trusting more to mechanical devises than a spell.
Another problem that Belldandy and Urd had to deal with was Nene�s and
Skuld�s sense of humor. Ever sencie she had arrived at the Temple, no
computer anywhere was safe from the two Goddesses. Overnight, some of
the most secure computers in the world where hacked into, and some of
the pranks pulled where just a bit out of line. Belldandy put her foot
down when Nene and Skuld managed to get the President of the United
States to read the lyrics of their favorite song when they hacked into
his TelePrompTer. The incident made international news, and Belldandy
knew who was responsible as Kona Wa Hurricane would not be written for
many years yet.
The pair were disconnected from the net for a month, and their
ice-cream supply was cut.
�Now Nene, this is one thing that you cannot skip out on,� Belldandy
was saying. �Even Skuld can call upon her uniform and weapon at anytime.
I want you to concentrate.�
Belldandy had been trying to teach Nene how to call her weapon and
uniform without much success.
The red head had closed her eyes, this was harder than any of the
training programs that Syila had put her though.
Belldandy sighed, �Nene, just let it flow, don�t think about what Skuld
or I wear. Just let it come to you.�
Nene thought to herself, �I wish I could just use my hardsuit, it would
be so much easier.� Then she felt it, he clothes were shifting and the
familiar weight of her suit closed around her. She opened her eyes and
looked at the tracking target on her HUD.
She turned to the startled Goddess, �How�s this?� she asked.
Belldandy just shock her head, Skuld however was ecstatic. �That is so
cool Nene, how did you build it?� she asked.
Nene raised her visor, �I didn�t Syila did.� she said. �Belldandy, can
I change back?�
Belldandy nodded.
That night Skuld went to find her friend. She had not had this much fun
in a long time. When Skuld was growing up, there was never anyone to
play with really. Most of the other young gods and goddesses could not
hope to keep up with Skuld, and after a while, Skuld stopped trying.
Then she had to help her sisters with Yggdrasil so she never had
anytime. But now, here was a friend who could keep up with her, and
liked many of the same things she did. Skuld had never been so happy, it
was like gaining another sister.
A muffled sob reached the young goddess ears. Curious, she followed the
sound into the grove of trees on the temple grounds. Nene stood there
crying. In her hands she held the helmet to her hardsuit.
�Nene-chan, what�s wrong?� Skuld asked.
�I m-m-miss t-them s-s-so much,� Nene cried.
�Who?�
Nene choked back a bit, �My friends, Syila, Linna, Priss, and Mackie. I
even miss Leon and Dailey.�
Skuld was a bit confused, �Don�t you like it here?� she asked.
Nene nodded, �I love it hear, I don�t want to leave, but I miss Mega
Tokyo, going to Hot Legs to hear Priss sing. I miss talking to Linna
about her new boy friend and I even miss Syila�s training sessions. I
wish I could see them again, just for a bit.�
Skuld bit her lip, she was thinking fast, �I think I can help you. But
we�ll need to use Yggdrasil.�
Nene hugged the younger girl, �Skuld, thank you, you don�t know what
that means to me.� Then she frowned, �But won�t we get into trouble with
Kami-sama?� she asked.
Skuld grinned impishly at her, �I think I can handle my father.� she
said confidently.
**************
It filled screen after screen. �Access Denied�
Washu was almost pulling her hair out with frustration. �This could not
be happening� she thought. �I am the greatest genius in the universe,
there shouldn�t be any computer I can�t crack.�
Washu had first become aware of this huge system about 7,000 years ago.
She hadn�t given it much thought at the time because she was so busy
working on her newest projects, Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki. Then when Kagato had
frozen her for 5,000 years, she had forgotten about it. But now she had
the time to crack it. Anything that was so big must contain something
good, she reasoned.
Washu had been at it for many months now and still all she had gotten
was �Access Denied.�
�There has got to be some way.......� she thought.
Washu�s thoughts were interrupted by a blond woman entering her lab.
�Washu-chan, Sasami says it�s time for dinner.� Mihoshi said.
Washu grounded her teeth together, she had put a force field on her
door, not even Tenchiken should have been able to cut through it.
She spun around, �Mihoshi, how many times do I have to tell you to stay
out of my lab?� she demanded.
Mihoshi gave her a smile, one that was devoid of anything remotely
resembling thought, �Sorry Washu-chan, but Sasami wanted me to tell
you...�
�Yes, I know, dinner�s ready.� Washu said with a sigh, �somedays you
just can�t win� she thought. �OK Mihoshi, tell Sasami I�ll be there.�
she said.
Mihoshi smiled and backed up into one of Washu�s computer counsels.
�Ano... What�s this Washu?� she asked.
Washu shrieked and leaped at Mihoshi, �Don�t touch anything!!!!!� she
screamed. She pushed Mihoshi out of the way and looked at the screen to
see what was broken now. What she saw on the screen made her laugh.
�Mihoshi, I could kiss you!� Washu exclaimed.
Mihoshi started backing away nervously, �That�s OK Washu, but I don�t
want to play doctor just now.� Mihoshi turned and ran out of the lab.
Washu looked at the retreating Galaxy Police detective, �so that�s how
I can get rid of her.� she thought. Then she turned back to the
computer. On the screen where the words:
