Adventures of the Mini-Goddess

The Peorth Files

By: Alicia Maxwell

One ordinary day in May, three goddesses appeared at the door of a likeable young college student.  The goddesses used their many powers to help people find happiness, and sometimes, for a laugh, they would make themselves small.  This is their story…

The Final Showdown Part II

"To recap, Marla has come back with her three ninjas to destroy us.  However, after Hikari turned on Marla, Marla attacked Hikari, which led her other two servants to defect.  Now will they help us defeat Marla?  And will we ever come up with a name for our coalition?  And what will happen to Peorth?  Will she fall to her do--"

"Skuld, enough with the recap!!  Peorth was already saved by Kodama while you were ranting on about the last episode!" Urd shouted.

"Alright, Alright already!  Jeez!" Skuld sighed.  "So, are we going to defeat Marla now?"

"Yeah sure.  Let's see how Marla likes thunderbolts aimed at her!" Urd shot thunderbolts at Marla.

"So pathetic," Marla yawned, dodging the electric waves.  "Could you maybe make things a little more interesting?"

"Okay Marla!  Just remember, you asked for it!  Go Mr. Patrol!  Go Mr. Freeze!  Go Little Banpei!"

"Mr. Freeze?  Never heard that one before," Urd murmured.

"He's a robot that uses assault freezer beams like the ones I put in the air conditioner," Skuld replied cheerfully.

"Freezer beams!?  These aren't even capable of making a frost!" Marla laughed as Skuld's invention struggled to fire repetitive ice blasts that were weaker than an air conditioner on low power.

"Oh no!  I didn't wire it correctly!  Little Banpei, Mr. Patrol, get out of there!  Mr. Freeze is overloading!"

Sure enough, Mr. Freeze did overload.  The robot exploded, taking Little Banpei and Mr. Patrol down with it.  Marla was barely injured by the explosion.

"Is that the best you can do?  Bring me someone worth my effort!" Marla yelled.

"Peorth!  You've gotta do something!" Skuld shouted.

"Okay," Peorth nodded.  She tossed several roses at Marla.  The roses cut Marla but not badly.  They were merely scratches.  "Well, I've done all I can do."

"Allow us!" Kodama said.  She and Nozomi jumped to the top of the bookcase and entered hand-to-hand combat with Marla.  Marla easily sent the two flying off the bookshelf.

"Don't worry!  I've got ya!" Peorth caught the two ninjas in time.

"What are we gonna do Urd!?  We've tried everything!" Skuld cried.

"We still haven't tried the circle thing," Urd said.

"What?"

"The circle thing!  The thing we used to defeat Marla before in the Goddess Theater episode!"

"We can't use it if we don't remember the name of it!"

"Belldandy!  Do you remember the name of that attack?" Urd asked.

"No… I'm afraid not.  However, after playing the Deluxe Game of Life, I now remember all the elements and where they are located on the periodic table," Belldandy offered.

"Elements and the periodic table aren't going to help us defeat Marla!" Urd yelled.

"Sorry," Belldandy apologized.

"I know!  What about the Magic Circle of Warding?" Urd suggested.

"That?  That takes days and days of calculations!  Plus, we need the Almighty's permission!  Plus, we'd need to keep Marla here and stationary till we finished- which we can't do!"

"Oh well! Just a thought!  Guess we're doomed!" Urd laughed.

"Perhaps not.  Have we yet considered….?" Belldandy whispered to Urd and Skuld.

"Great idea Belldandy!" Urd replied.  "Skuld, you Kodama and Nozomi go with Belldandy and get them!  Peorth and I will hold her off until you get back!  Ready Peorth?"

"What's the plan?" Peorth asked.

"All you need to worry about is staying alive and keeping Marla back until those four get back!  Let's go!"

"Now where did we put that stereo?" Belldandy wondered.  "Oh yes!  I remember!  It's in the living room!"

"Are you sure a stereo and a cat statue are going to be enough to stop Marla?" Kodama asked.

"Yeah! Marla can't stop dancing once she hears rock and roll and she's scared of things like that statue.  Speaking of the statue, it's over there.  Can you and Nozomi take it out onto the porch?"

"We'll try.  It is awfully big.  Come on Nozomi," Kodama headed over to the cat statue.

"Now let's get that stereo," Belldandy said.

"Sure thing sis," Skuld replied.

Once the stereo and statue had been brought onto the porch and the stereo was turned on, Marla was in a frenzy of dancing and screaming.  Once Skuld was sure Marla wasn't going to move, she dropped the cage down on top of her.

"Where'd that come from?" Urd asked.

"You like?  I modeled it after the cages she put us in," Skuld said.  "I installed it here on the porch because I was certain we'd need it sometime!"

"Oh… I almost forgot about the tea!  Would you all like to help me make it?" Belldandy asked.

"Sure sister!" Skuld replied for them all and the seven of them headed off to the kitchen.

"Wait!  You can't just leave me here!  At least turn off the stereo!!" Marla begged.
