Disclaimer I do not own Beetlejuice or Ah! My goddess.
-oOoOoOo-
Keiichi and Urd were sitting on the back porch of the Temple, watching some birds peck the ground for food.
"And that was like the tenth prank that happened to us. Tamiya and Otaki claimed they didn't do it, but were awfully quick to praise it," Keiichi grumbled.
"Tell me about it! Skuld's been upping her game in our prank war. I'm almost proud of her," Urd said.
"What are you talking about? I kept trying to prank you back but you keep counterpranking me!" Skuld exclaimed, as she stomped towards the two.
Urd stared at Skuld until the ice cream goddess was a few inches from the Goddess of love's face. After a moment of tolerating Skuld's glare, Urd asked, "Wait, so you didn't do those pranks? If not you, then who?"
"That'd be me!" A voice cried out before it cackled.
Urd, Skuld, and Keiichi looked around until they paid attention to the birds.
Seeing that one had a black and white striped color scheme, Keiichi asked, "Now that I think about it, some stuff did have that striped scheme whenever a prank went off near me…"
"Me too," Urd replied before glancing at Skuld, who nodded.
All three glared at the oddly-colored bird for a few moments until the bird held a large beetle in its beak. The bird looked back at them before tossing the bug into the air. The bird's mouth opened up wide and swallowed the beetle in one bite.
Then the bird looked at the trio, held up a wing, and said, "Hey. How yah folks doin'?"
"You're not a normal bird, are you?" Keiichi asked.
"Gee, what made you think that?" The bird sarcastically asked before it vanished. In its place stood a human-looking man. He was dressed in a black-and-white striped dirty business suit. His skin was a very light violet, his hair was a blonde rat's nest of hair, and there were dark purple rings around his wild eyes.
"Who are you?" Urd asked as she leapt to her feet.
"I'm the ghost with the most! The best dang Bio-exorcist ever! I've watched the Exorcist 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it! I'm the neitherworld's least wanted! I'm the Prankster Potentate! I'm the Tsar of Tricksters! The King Kong of con-artists!" The man replied, getting louder and louder with each sentence before he stopped to chuckle under his breath. Putting one hand in his pocket, he held out his other hand to Urd to shake as he said, "I'd give you my card, but I've been hired to cause some trouble for you guys and the card would make things too easy for you."
"What's a Bio-exorcist?" Keiichi asked Skuld.
"They get rid of humans like you like how exorcists get rid of ghosts," Skuld explained.
"It's a bad idea to tell us that you're here for trouble. We can just get rid of you before you cause any more," Urd said.
"Knowing I'm here and being able to stop me are two different things, Babe," the man replied. He wiggled his hand, asking, "Shake?
"I'll pass on the handshake, you rotten, stinking creep of a sleazeball," Urd replied, charging up an exorcism spell.
"Hey!" The man replied, looking angry. Then he looked calm and smiling. "Thanks for the compliments, but you forgot good-looking, charming, and debonair."
"Take this!" Urd loudly said before shoving her exorcism spell into the man's chest.
After a few seconds of nothing happening, Urd pulled her hand back and stared at her palm, which was covered in grease and dirt. She shuddered as she jumped back, creating a wet towel to clean herself.
The man felt the spot where Urd had touched him and caressed it. "Ah, always a delight to be touched by a lady, especially one trying to get rough!"
"That spell was set to exorcise ghosts and Bio-Exorists are ghosts most of the time! What are you?" Urd exclaimed, glaring at the man.
"You had it set to Shinnentai, but didn't you realize that a Bio-exorcist such as myself would have found a way around exorcism spells like that?" the man said, now wiping the spot. "I think it's time for you to…'chill out'."
BAMF!
Urd was now frozen in a large ice cube that completely surrounded her..
"Urd?" Skuld asked in a fearful tone.
"She's just 'cooling off her head'," the man chuckled as the ice cube grew a bit bigger.
"You free her right now, you baka!" Skuld yelled before the word 'baka' appeared and flew at the man.
The man leaned off to the side, dodging the word. "Talk about using your words!"
"Eat this!" Skuld screamed as she pulled out a bomb and threw it at the man.
The man's response was to change into an exaggerated golfer's outfit and yell, "Fore!"
He swung his golf club, sending a pebble to intercept Skuld's bomb, causing it to explode mid-air.
"You Baka-baka-baka!" Skuld yelled, causing the words to fly at the man, who changed into a ballerina's outfit and spun around to avoid the words.
After dodging the words, the man changed back to his dirty business suit. "Hey, you might wanna 'keep a lid on that'."
A metal pad appeared on SKuld's face, covering her mouth. As expected, she tried to pull it off, but was unable to.
The ice cube that Urd was frozen in began to melt.
"Belldandy!" Keiichi cried out. Thus Belldandy appeared.
"Who is that?" Belldandy asked, looking at the man.
"Oh, just a prankster, hired to put a 'rain on your parade'," The man said.
A small cloud appeared over Belldandy and Keiichi before it let out a shower, drenching the mortal and goddess.
"So, an English pun-based power?" Belldandy asked.
"I guess?" Keiichi muttered, trying to wipe the water off with his hands.
"Could you please tell me your name?" Belldandy asked the man.
The man chuckled, "Nope, Couldn't, even if I felt like it."
Belldandy frowned before she asked, "A hint, then?"
"Nnnnope and ask again and I'll-" the man replied before his head rapidly spun around as he screamed, "Scream!"
Belldandy blinked a few times before asking, "Then could you please undo what you did to my sisters?"
At that moment, Skuld stopped trying to remove the metal pad and took out a large remote controller.
The man looked at Skuld, saying, "Careful with that. You never know when tech like that gets 'buggy'."
As soon as he said that, the controller Skuld held made a foop noise. Then she felt something inside wriggle. In fact, there was a lot of wriggling.
Then the controller opened up, revealing that it was now filled with insects. Skuld threw it up in the air in a panic before running off to hide nearby.
The man caught the controller, saying, "Aw, you shouldn't have!"
He lifted the controller over his mouth and poured all the bugs down his throat. Once the controller was empty, he tossed it away, licked his lips, and said, "Yum! Computer bugs, you know I love'em."
"If we invite you for some tea, will you free Urd and Skuld," Belldandy asked.
"Yeah, Belldandy's tea is much better than bugs," Keiichi said.
The man gave the couple an annoyed look. He clasped his hands together and said in mock-cutesiness, "Aw, the two of you are 'as sweet as honey'!"
Honey appeared above the couple and fell onto Keiichi and Belldandy, knocking them down.
The man flew a little bit into the air, pointing at the couple as he kicked his legs and laughed like a maniac.
The ice cube began to crack.
Belldandy and Keiichi tried to stand up, but the honey was strong enough that it was not only keeping them stuck to the ground, but to each other as well.
"Man, I shoulda come to Japan a long time ago! You stuffed shirts are so much fun to rile up!" The man cackled. "Heck, I might just move in, right here!"
Then the ice exploded, getting everyone to look at Urd. Her hair stood on end like the Bride of Frankenstein, but waving about like fire. In fact, Urd's hair was changing colors. Red, yellow, and silver.
"Enough! Get out of my sight or I'll make you regret it!" Urd demanded as she stomped over to the man, her feet leaving scorch marks with each step.
"You and what army!" The man replied, sticking his tongue out, showing it was also striped, but light green and dark green.
Urd grabbed the man by the shoulders and a bright flash enveloped the man. After the flash vanished, the man looked like he was completely covered in soot, save for his eyes.
The man spoke in a much deeper voice, "Woah… good army."
Then the man collapsed, revealing that Urd's outburst had burned him completely into soot.
"Urd… Did you kill him?" Belldandy asked, sounding worried.
Urd blinked a few times as her hair returned back to her normal style. "I… I… hope not."
The soot vanished in a pop and the man appeared by Urd's side, floating in the air. He leaned on Urd's shoulder, saying, "Nah. I've been burned by worse, but not many."
He patted Urd on the head, adding ,"Feel proud, kiddo, feel proud."
Urd's hair began to rise once more.

Notes from HotelKatz -
Been watching the cartoon version of Beetlejuice, so this was using that version of him. There's a musical one as well, but it uses the movie version.
Originally, I had a bit where Hild appeared and was complemented by the ghost with the most, who said that she must be Urd's hotter sister. Urd would get furious and Hild would try to calm her down, only for Urd to throw Hild far away, right into the Atlantic Ocean.
Another rejected bit is one where Urd says that he has no friends. He first claims that he has plenty of friends, then a few. Then he mutters that he has one friend. Urd then says it must be a pity friendship on the friend's part. That gets him furious, as the cartoon Bio-exorcist adores Lydia.
I was tempted to throw in a few fourth wall jokes, but Eh. At least I didn't say, utter, or type Beetlejuice three times, right? That summons him.
