Part 2: Ah My Hybrid!
Akina bounded towards the Morisato residence with tears streaming down her face. "Hope, please be there! Please!" She thought as she came to the step way and ran up it. "HOPE! Are you here!?" she cried.
Urd slid open the entrance door and stared at the panicked girl. "Akina, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Miss Urd! Is Hope home?" Akina ran up to her.
"No, I'm sorry."
"Oh my god." She fell to her knees and started shaking.
"It's okay, she should be back in a few days." Urd smiled happily.
"Huh?"
"You see, a scout came from an agency that selects gifted children of Hope's genre to come to his organization for special training."
Akina stared at her blankly for a moment then thought aloud. "But... but I saw them disappear into a wall Miss Urd."
Urd twinged in shock. "Oh...uh...er..."
"YAH!" Skuld appeared behind her and slapped a helmet onto Akina's head. "Memory maker/removal machine #1! Switch ON!" She pressed a button and popped a disk into a small slot.
"What are you doing? I was about to slip an "Urd's Forget the Details" pill in her!" Urd groaned in disappointment.
"Hey, I got her first." Skuld grinned then heard the helmet go off.
"Eh?" Akina stared around.
"Hey Akina, something we can do for you?" Skuld smiled after taking the helmet off.
"Um...hey...what am I doing here?" She scratched her head and looked at Skuld.
"Hope?" Skuld hinted.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Um, is there someway I could keep in contact with her while she's gone?"
"Don't worry, she'll give you a call or letter in a few days." Urd smiled and looked up at the sky. "It's getting a little dark, you better head home before your mother gets worried."
"Alright, thank you!" Akina smiled and walked off.
"Whew...." Both sisters sighed in relief until they heard a motorcycle engine roar.
"Hope! Urd! Skuld! I'm home!" Keiichi called.
"Urd..." Skuld looked over at her a bit hesitantly.
"Nuh uh, we're telling him together." She said and waited for him to come around.
"Hey, you guys!" Keiichi smiled then looked around. "Where's Hope? She's usually here to give me a big hug when I get home."
"Um, well..." Urd gulped.
"Urd?" Keiichi stared at her uneasily.
"Listen K." She sighed. "During school, The Almighty sent a god to bring Hope into heaven for training...so..."
"What!?" He yelped.
Tyr emerged through a transport and dropped Hope on the ground.
"Ouch!" She groaned then glared up at him. "What the heck is the big idea!?"
"Geez, you really don't have a clue do ya, I already explained everything I know!" Tyr growled.
"Did not!" She said then looked around.
"Ahem...welcome Hope Morisato." A deep voice echoed.
"Eh?" Hope stared around.
"Stand up!" Tyr grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
"I am sure that you are very confused and filled with worry, but worry not, you are safe and welcome here."
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Quiet! Only speak when you're told to!" Tyr hissed.
"Well WHOM are we talking to?" Hope hissed back.
"The Almighty!"
"Who?"
"WHAT!?" Tyr jumped away from her in shock.
"That's quite enough Tyr." The almighty barked then coughed. "Listen Hope, I do realize that you have been raised as a mortal and were never told of the heavens...but it is of the greatest importance that you receive a seal and as soon as possible...so the council and I have decided that..."
"Hybrid?" Hope interrupted.
"Quite fool!" Tyr slapped a hand over her mouth.
"Tyr!" The Almighty barked.
"Y...yes sir!" He stepped away from her and looked down in shame.
"Excuse me, but what do you mean by hybrid?" Hope asked and rubbed her stinging face. "You didn't have to hit me so hard!" she growled back at Tyr quickly.
"Quite simple actually, you are the daughter of a mortal man and a goddess, thus you are a hybrid."
"G...goddess!?" Hope shouted. "Then what he was saying was true!?" She pointed at Tyr.
"Yes."
"Please, do you know where my mother is right now!?" She asked.
"I...cannot grant you that information..." He sighed.
"Why!?"
"I leave finding your mother to you, but now we speak of greater importance. Hope Morisato, you have been qualified as a goddess second-class, unlimited license. However, it is of great importance not only to the heavens but also to the mortal plain that you become Goddess first class as soon as possible so that a seal shall be placed on you!"
"But..."
"I entrust you in the hands of the goddess Peorth, come forth!"
Peorth walked out and put a hand on Hope's shoulder. "Hello there, my, you have your father's startled grimace and your mother's worried eyes!"
"Eh...?" Hope stared at Peorth a bit uneasily.
"That is all." The almighty dismissed them.
"W...wait! Please! Tell me where my mother is!" She shouted then felt a fist slam down on her head.
"QUIET!" Tyr shouted. "You should consider yourself lucky to still be alive after you spoke to our lord in such tones!"
"THAT HURT!" Hope made a fist and punched him in the face.
"Gaaaaaah!" Tyr fell back and twitched.
"Ooh, nice punch." Peorth smiled. "You must get that from your Aunt Urd right?"
"You know my family...don't you?" Hope asked.
"Yes, I know your family very well."
"Then...then you know my Mother?" Hope smiled.
"Indeed." She put a finger on Hope's lips. "But...nor can I tell you her location."
Hope's eyes wavered and she looked down.
"But I promise you that you will meet here again, as long as you promise to learn from me..." Peorth smiled.
Hope looked up at her with question then nodded. "Okay..."
Keiichi sat down with a cup of tea at Hope's desk. "This isn't fair..." He groaned to himself then saw her photo album.
"Keiichi?" Skuld peaked her head in the room.
"Hey." he said lifelessly as he looked at the pictures. Mostly they were old pictures of Belldandy, family portraits, pictures of friends, and pictures of Keiichi and Hope repairing a Yamaha that he had found near a junkyard when she was born.
"She really was a mecha girl huh?" Keiichi asked.
"Yeah." Skuld sighed then heard a small beeping noise. "Hmm?" she slid open one of the doors to Hope's room and saw Banpei sitting outside. "Aww, Banpei are you sad?" Skuld asked.
"His emotion circuits?"
"Yeah..." Skuld sighed and shut the robot down. "Maybe...I should reprogram him..."
"Don't."
"Why?"
"It's alright for him to feel heartbreak Skuld, even if he is a robot." Keiichi said. "Belldandy always told you that..."
Skuld smiled. "Yeah..."
"Well... it's not like we'll never see Hope again right?" he asked. "And... maybe when she comes back, Belldandy can too."
"I wish it were that simple Keiichi." Skuld thought to herself.
Peorth looked down at Hope from a balcony and sighed.
"What's her problem?" Tyr groaned.
"She's in heartbreak, she wants more than anything to find her Mother." Peorth sighed and leaned her head on her hand.
"Why can't we lead her to Lady Belldandy?" Tyr asked.
"I'm not sure myself, it was the Almighty's order, and whatever he commands we obey."
"Man...." Tyr sighed.
Peorth looked at Tyr for a moment then back down at Hope. "Hope?" she called.
Hope looked up at her and smiled slightly.
"Would you like a tour of heaven?" she asked. "It may help you adjust to your new settings."
"No thanks, I just need to get used to things on my own." Hope got up and wandered off.
"Hope Morisato...what am I going to do with you...?" Peorth sighed sadly.
Tyr jumped onto the balcony ledge and pushed off. "I'll see you later Peorth!"
Later on Earth...
Skuld walked out of the kitchen with a huge sweat drop on her head. "Well, I hope I did it right." She held up a pot and laughed in a pathetic way.
"Thanks Skuld." Keiichi smiled and opened it.
"I made some rice..." Skuld said.
"That it?" Urd stared.
"Well at least I know how to cook something!" Skuld glared at her.
Keiichi scooped up his bowl and sat back a few feet to avoid their fight. "Okay." He took a bite and smiled. "Hey, this is good!"
"Huh?" Skuld and Urd stared at him.
"Are you serious!?" Skuld quickly shoveled herself a bowl and took a bite. "I...I did it..." wavy tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Well, for once you made something useful." Urd grinned.
"Hey!"
"Thank you." Keiichi had finished his bowl quickly and got up.
"Don't you want seconds?" Skuld asked.
"No thanks, but thank you for cooking Skuld." Keiichi smiled and walked outside, to the shed. The Yamaha was sitting there, and he couldn't help but remember the discussion him and Belldandy had over what Hope would drive when she was older.
"Hey Belldandy, how about when Hope's old enough we let her drive a motorcycle like her old man?"
"Keiichi, she's just a baby, isn't it too soon to be thinking about that?" Belldandy giggled.
"Trust me, when she's old enough to walk and talk she's going to beg for a bike." Keiichi laughed. "Isn't that right?" He teased the infant and made her laugh.
"Keiichi..." Belldandy smiled.
"Belldandy." Keiichi sighed as he looked at the cycle then up at the sky.
Hope wandered into the moonlight-illuminated forest of heaven. For some reason this area made her feel at home, mainly because it reminded her of the forest around the temple.
"Hello there, young spirit." A gentle voice called.
"Hmm?" Hope looked over at a god sitting on a rather large tree stump. "Oh, good evening." she bowed.
"I can see very much sadness in your heart, is something troubling you?" He asked.
"Yes." Hope sat down next to him then felt a shock in her body. "Ouch!" She sprung to her feet.
"This tree used to stand tall and strong, but now all that remains is it's base, it's heart." The god sighed. "Now it is aching with pain, it can no longer reach up to the sun."
"Is that the pain I just felt?" Hope asked.
"Yes." He got down to one knee and looked into Hope's eyes. "Your mother is who you seek."
Hope stared at him then asked. "Who are you?"
"A simple god that shares his life with the trees." He took off his jacket like robe and put it over her shoulders. "Hope Morisato, you are a young spirit with so many questions, someday you will make a wonderful goddess, just like your mother."
"My mother?" she asked, but he had disappeared. "...I don't know who you are, but thank you." She smiled then felt something tap her head. "Ouch! What was...oh it's you."
"Thanks for the welcome." Tyr groaned and stared at her. "Where did you get the uniform?"
"Huh?" Hope looked down and saw the robe had become her size and her clothes had changed.
"Hey Hope." He rubbed his heel in the dirt. "Look, I just want to say I'm sorry in all."
"For what?" Hope tilted her head.
"Well...y'know, dragging you up here and yelling at you..." He paused then saw Hope was up in his face and staring in his eyes.
"You're lying."
"Wha?"
"You're lying, you're not sorry." She smiled. "Miss Peorth made you say all that didn't she?"
"No! I was just trying to make you stop groaning and sighing and everything... Geez! You're such a whiner!" He huffed then raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"
"Well, I guess you can tell a lot of things when you look into someone's eyes. So Tyr, I'm not sorry either that I yelled at you and punched you."
Tyr smiled then spun around. "I can tell already that I'm gonna have a heap of trouble with you!"
"Likewise." Hope said then stared up at the moon. "Poppa, Momma, you're not with me, but I can tell you're both gazing at this very moon." She said with a smile. "Good night."
