Chapter 10: Feelings, Dread, Awakening, Grief, A new beginning (Feelings) ::::::::::::: Up In the Heavens ::::::::

At the reactors, with wirers strung all over the place. Peorth and Ex are still working on get the reactors up and running.

"How are you doing over there?" Peorth asked.

"I'm just about done with the new OS for the reactors here. In matter of fact Anata is running off of reactor one right now." Ex said.

Looking up from her own work, Peorth then ran over to Ex's side. "What?! Since when?" Peorth asked.

"She's still running on only 38% power, But some hour ago her over all power dropped to almost zero. But the way how I'm setting this new subsystem; Anata will always be running off reactor one, but the remaining reactors will always act as a back up. Potentially Anata could never over exert her power." Explained Ex.

"Great job." Peorth said.

"And ma'am, When you were off getting some thing to drink for us. I get a message from the control room." Ex said.

"What's that?" Asked Peorth.

"The Control room reported that Kou's power dropped to 0.56%. It was almost to the point where he was almost not being picked up on the Yggdrasil main frame. It was another Shadow attack. But don't worry, Belldandy had called and said that every thing was alright at the moment." Ex said.

"Who was it that..."

"It was Anata. The power discharge was almost greater then her mother's power with her point limiter." Ex said.

"Things are going to get interesting." Peorth said as she looked over at the four towering reactors.

::::::::::::::::::: Back on Earth ::::::::::::::::::::::

Back on Earth, Belldandy had just stepped out of Anata's room and quietly shut the door behind her.

"How is she?" Keiichi asked.

"She's awake, and getting up. She wants do move around some." Replied Belldandy.

"And what about Kou?" Keiichi asked.

"Vary weak, and lucky to be alive." Belldandy replied.

"We should let them get some rest, Skuld and Urd are setting up some things around the Temple. They might need some help." Keiichi said.

"Yes they may... With Mara around I'm sure something's not going right." Belldandy said.

Out side, Skuld is driving posts in to the ground spaced every five feet around the temple, And Urd and Mara are "Discussing" what type of spells to use to beef up defense.

"We're NOT using demonic magic on the grounds of a Buddhist Temple!" Urd Yelled.

Mara stood there her left eye brawl twitching and her arms akimbo. "Look. While Techno Girl over there (Don't mock my things!) is setting up her shield thing over there, we are wasting TIME! Now why don't I just put out a demon X barrier out and that will be that." Mara said as she was about to cast a spell.

"Oh NO you don't!" Urd yelled!

"Both of you stop it!" Belldandy yelled, making every one stop what their doing.

"Mara you may use you're spell. Urd use some type of you're spells along with it. And Skuld put you're posts up and go home and be with your own family." Belldandy ordered the others on what course of action to take. But in side the Temple something else is taking place.

In side, Anata had finally built up enough strength to get up out of her futon, and slowly make her way to Kou's room. Lightly she knocked on the door, but only got silence in reply. Slowly she slid the door open and stepped in to the room. She walked over to Kou's futon and sat down next to him.

"I see you're feeling better..." Kou said as he opened his eyes and looked over at Anata.

"I'm moving, but feeling better? I feel like a truck hit me. And as for you, my mom tells me you could have been killed." Anata stated.

"I don't know... Maybe...." Kou said.

"You're a real smart ass you know that? Why did you do all this? Why did you take this job to protect me?" Anata asked.

Turning on to his side so he can look at Anata. Kou took a deep breath. "I asked my self why you're grand father asked me to protect you. There are several more Gods and Goddesses that are far more qualified then my self. Then I remembered that he has been known to look through the time line and see what is to came, that maybe where he got his reasoning."

"You didn't answer my question. Why did you take the job?" Anata asked again.

"At first when Peorth came to me I took the job to do away with a bad grade on a wish granting simulator. But as I spent time with you and got to know you. I've fallen for you... But I came in to a problem." Kou said.

"What's the problem?" Anata asked.

"I am you mentor, like I said the other night. It is wrong of me to have such a relationship with some one I am mentoring. Maybe some time we can... I don't know. But right now I must do my job of protecting you." Kou said as he tried to set up but to only fall back to the futon with a thud.

"But before I blacked out I did see you're little water show." Kou said.

"You did? What did you think?" Anata asked.

"You used you're hands...." Kou replied with a smile.

Hearing what Kou had said, Anata sat there thinking for a moment. Then a mad expression came across her face. "WHAT?! YOU JERK!!!"

Kou chuckled as he looked up at Anata. "Relax, I thank you. For doing what you did."

Still mad Anata was about to get up and leave, when Kou grabbed her arm.

"Please.. Don't leave." Kou said as he pulled Anata close to him.

"Kou? I thought that you couldn't?" Anata asked as she found her self just inches from Kou face.

"I know... I just feel better when you're near me... Please just stay with me..." Kou asked.

Smiling a little, Anata laid down next to Kou's futon. And the two stayed silent for several minutes. Before Anata asked a question.

"Kou? (She turns around on her side so she can look at Kou.) What if I would become a student at Yggdrasil? We can be closer?" Anata asked.

Kou then turned so he can look at Anata, up behind them in the window. Urd was looking in. she then looked over and waved for some one to come over to where she was at. Seconds later Skuld and Belldandy was at her side.

"What are you saying?" Kou asked.

"What if I would say that I don't want you to be my mentor? What if I just want to be a student just like you? Do you think that maybe?" Anata asked.

"Ssssshhhh... You too should rest." Kou said.

Back out side, Belldandy looked at her sisters.

"Come on we need to let them rest... It's alright." Belldandy said as she grabbed Urd's and Skuld's arm and took then back to work.

:::::::::::::::: Heavens :::::::::::::: (Dread)

"Right, I'm about to turn on the OS for the reactors. Is every thing ready up there?" Ex asked over an intercom system.

In the control room, Chrono and Ere turn around to give Peorth the thumbs up. "We're All good up here. When ever you're ready." Peorth replied.

"Reactors one through four all green, starting start up program. Start up complete in T - thirty seconds. 29, 28." Ex said, started to count down.

"Switch Anata from the Yggdrasil main frame to the reactor subsystem." Peorth ordered.

26, 25, 24.

"Switching Anata's running program from the Yggdrasil main frame over to the new subsystem." Ere said.

22, 21, 20, 19.

"The new running program is running with no problems." Chrono informed.

17, 16, 15, 14.

"Reactors at 85% and increasing. 10 seconds remaining. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.." Ex said.

Peorth, Ere, and Chrono looked at each other. Waiting for some word from Ex.

"Ex? Is every thing alright?" Peorth asked over the intercom system.

There was still nothing. "Ex, we are cut off from the reactors now. You need to tell us what going on." Peorth said over the intercom.

"Peorth, The reactors are running at 100%. Anata's over all power is remaining at 39.56% and holding. Power dampener holding strong, the OS switch is complete." Ex beamed over the intercom.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Peorth sat back in her chair.

"Get me Belldandy; I need to tell her that we will start to increase Anata's power in one hour." Peorth said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Flash Back ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"But father! I must protest." Belldandy yelled.

"The system can not remain running at the level that it has been. Previous wishes have started to come undone; the Ultimate Force is not working properly. I'm sorry Belldandy, but it must be this way." The Almighty said as he sat behind his desk.

"No one has ever been removed from Yggdrasil." Belldandy rebutted.

"That is true, But Goddess Ex and Peorth have came up with a way to switch Anata over from the Yggdrasil main frame over to the old system reactors. They have ran several simulations and there is a 90% chance that Anata will come out alright. And I know you are going to ask about the other 10%. The other 10% is indicating that nothing will happen. Belldandy I insure you that we are taking every procoshion to insure Anata's safety." The Almighty said.

Placing her hand on Belldandy's shoulder, Peorth tried to help. "Belldandy, please believe me. We are doing every thing to make sure that nothing happens." Peorth insured.

"Hear this now. If anything happens to my daughter, if she is harmed in any way shape or form. My wrath will be that of which heavens have never seen." Belldandy said.

Hearing Belldandy's words, the Almighty looked over at Peorth. "Peorth please wait out side for a moment. I wish to speak to my daughter alone."

Nodding, Peorth walked out of the office. The Almighty and Belldandy waited until they head the door close.

"I know you are worried for Anata. And you must trust me that when I say that every thing will come out all right." The Almighty said.

"Father, even you are not allowed to see in to the future. That requires permition from the entire great hall." Belldandy said.

"That is true. But even I am guilty of breaking the rules." The Almighty replied.

"What do you know?" Belldandy asked.

"All I can say is that you're daughter will become something that not even Yggdrasil could product. Now I think that Anata will be getting out of school soon. You might want to be with her." The Almighty said.

"Yes father I under stand." Belldandy said.

Turning around, Belldandy walked out of the office and saw Peorth sitting there on a bench. "My father wishes to see you." Belldandy said as she walked past Peorth.

Peorth walked back in to the office and stopped in front of the desk. The Almighty took in a deep breath.

"Peorth I want you to make it number one on you're list. That my granddaughter is not harmed, because like I said before; a mother scorn is a wrath that I would like to avoid. Understand?" Asked the Almighty.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* End flash back ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sitting there on her chair, Peorth had her eyes closed trying to get a little bit of rest, but Ere looked over at her.

"Ma'am, I haven't been able to contact the Morisato's. Either their not home or their not answering." Ere said.

"Alright keep on trying." Peorth said.

::::::::::::: Back on Earth :::::::::

Back on Earth, the phone was not ringing. Keiichi, Belldandy, Urd and Mara are all sitting at the kitchen table.

"With all the defance we have up there is no way that any thing can get on to the Temple grounds." Urd stated.

"You Goddesses confidence is sickening. I wouldn't put to much faith in to the defenses." Mara said.

Taking a sip of tea, Belldandy places her cup on the table and looks at her sister and Mara. "Mara is right, we should be on the look out for any thing. With Skuld at her own home, we should take turns looking out." Belldandy said.

Taking a huge gulp of beer Mara slams her car of beer on the table. "What about the brats?" Mara asked, but got glairs from Belldandy, Keiichi, and Urd.

"Anata and Kou are resting." Keiichi replied.

"Oh (Gulp, Gulp.) That's right the two love birds....(Gulp, Gulp.)" Mara said.

Out side at the gates of the Temple, Ryoka and three human looking shadow monsters stand looked at the Goddess and Demon defance.

"Check this out.. Demon and Goddess spells working as one... You. (She points to a shadow to her right.) Give me an orb." Ryoka ordered.

Doing as it was told, the shadow handed a small black orb to Ryoka. Taking the orb she tossed it in to the air a couple times as she took a couple steps back. Then she brought her arm back and aimed for over the temple. When Ryoka threw the orb, it went in to a streak of light and disappeared. Seconds later the orb reappeared high over temple over the kitchen. Seeing that the orb was where it was meant to be. Ryoka raised her hands, and then the orb in an other streak of light was seen pearcing the weakest point of the magic shielding. Sending ripples around the shield, and dropping through the roof over the kitchen.

In side every one that was in the kitchen stepped back and looked at the orb, trying to figure out what's going on.

"What is it?" Keiichi asked.

"Some type of magic orb..." Belldandy said as she kneeled down to take a look at it better.

As Belldandy got closer to the orb, it flashed and a beam of light shot out, then the beam widened filling the whole room. Sucking every on that was in the room in to the orb. Back in Kou's room Anata heard the sound of the crash. Sitting up she looked over at Kou who was still vary weak but he too heard it.

"Did you hear that?" Anata asked.

"I did." Kou answered.

He slowly sat up grabbing his head, feeling a head rush as he did. "I'll take a look." Kou said.

"Like hell, you stay put. I'll look." Anata said.

Getting up, Anata made her way to the kitchen where she heard the sound come from. When she entered the kitchen she found that there were peaces of wood from the roof and a small orb in the floor. Looking at it she found that her mother, father, Urd and Mara was inside. Every one was pounding on the walls of the orb.

"Mom? Dad? What the hell?" Anata asked looking in to the orb.

"Anata be careful! It might get you." Belldandy yelled in out of the orb.

Then from out side, They heard some one yelling. "DON'T WORRY ANATA! THE ORB IS ONLY FOR THE FOUR THAT I HAVE IN THERE NOW! MY GREAVENCE IS WITH YOU AND YOU'RE FRIEND!" Ryoka yelled from out side the Temple gates.

Anata ran to the front door, and opened it. There she saw Ryoka standing there at the gate.

"RYOKA! YOU FIX WHAT EVER YOU DID TO THEM! NOW!" Anata yelled back.

"I THINK NOT! BUT I AM ALSO WEAK! SO TO MAKE THINGS FARE. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WEAK TOO SO WHEN EVER YOU'RE READY MEET ME AT THE MALL! THERE WE WILL SETTEL THINGS!" Ryoka yelled.

Ryoka turned to the three shadow monsters. "Knock down this shield... Oh and trash the temple, but leave the people in side alive and untouched." Ryoka said as she stared to walk away from the temple gate.

Anata watched as Ryoka walked away and the three monsters raised one arm each. Seeing this, Anata ran to where the orb was and leaped for cover, at the same time Kou limped in to the room.

"Kou! GET DOWN!" Anata yelled.

Just then blasts of energy came crashing through the wall of the temple blast after blast after blast. Kou had dropped to the ground and had crawled over to where Anata was at and covered Anata. It was almost three minutes when the shooting stopped. When it was over, Kou lifted a peace of wall that had fallen on top of him and Anata. When they got back up, they found that the whole front of the temple was trashed. Anata then looked at the orb that held her parents.

"Anata dear are you two all right?" Belldandy asked from within the orb.

"We're fine, but what about all of you?" Anata asked.

Mara then pushed Belldandy out of the way and punched the inside of the orb. "Get me out of here! I'm a little claustrophobic. Look go and get a hammer." Mara said.

Urd then pushed Mara out of the way. "Moron! Shattering the thing can kill us all, And this about you being claustrophobic? You sleep in a coffin!"

Wanting to hear what her mother was trying to say, Anata turned the orb around to where Belldandy was at. "Mom do you have any ideas?" Anata asked.

Turning the orb to where she could see her father. "You're quite. What are you thinking?" Anata asked.

"I'm rethinking my whole rule of not getting involved with Heavenly matters. But I got involved from the moment I meant you're mother. But do I have any ideas. No not at the moment." Keiichi said.

"Okay.... Umm Kou what are you doing?" Anata asked as placed the orb some place safe.

"I'm looking for the phone. I need to call Yggdrasil." Kou replied.

"I'll give you the number to Nefleim too." Mara yelled.

Kou looked over in the direction of the orb. "I don't think that I should call Nefleim." Kou said.

Fallowing the phone cord, Kou found the phone under some boards of wood from the wall. And dialed the number to Yggdrasil.

Up in Yggdrasil, Peorth had drifted to sleep in her chair. The others that work in Yggdrasil knew that she was sleeping, and didn't bother her unless it was needed. Ere was the one that answered the line from earth.

"Hello, This is the Yggdrasil main frame control room. Goddess Ere here how may I help you?" Ere asked.

"Administrator Peorth please." Kou asked over the phone.

Looking over her shoulder, Ere was really dreading waking Peorth. Last time it was Ex that woke her up... "(Sight) Ma'am?" Ere said but there was no answer. Peorth just sat there in her chair sound asleep.

Ere looked over at Chrono. They both nodded. Chrono then reached under her desk and pulled out h peace of paper (Yes I think that paper would be used in the heavens.) and balled it up. Waiting for the right moment, Chrono tossed the ball of paper, hitting Peorth in the head.

Jumping up out of her chair, Peorth pointed to some God that was working on another computer at the other end of the control room. "You over there look alive. You! Make sure that the power flow is all green and you...."

"Umm Ma'am?" Ere said.

"What?" Peorth asked.

"We have Kou on the line." Ere replied.

"Well... Umm okay then." Peorth said as she sat back down in her chair, and pushed a button on the arm. "Go ahead Kou." Peorth said.

"Peorth we were just attacked by shadows. I'm letting you know that I'm removing my point limiter." Kou said.

"Shadows?! Is every one all right?" Peorth asked.

"Not really. Every one is still alive." Kou replied.

"What do you mean? IS Anata okay?" Peorth asked fearing the worst, and Belldandy's wrath.

"She is right there beside me. It's Lady Belldandy, Urd, Keiichi and Mara. Their sealed in some orb, we can talk to them and they appear to be alright." Kou said.

As Kou was explaining the events to Peorth, Anata sat there on the floor thinking about what just happened. Thin it hit her; Ryoka never said a word about Kou. Turning around Anata grabbed Kou's arm.

"Wait Kou don't remove you're point limiter. If you remember Ryoka never said any thing about you. Don't remove it yet." Anata said.

Looking down at the bracelets that acted as his own point limiter. The Peorth's voice could be heard over the phone.

"Kou? I want to tell Anata something put her on." Peorth said.

"Anata, Peorth wants to talk to you." Kou said as he handed the phone to Anata.

Taking the phone, Anata put the phone to her ear. "Hello?"

"Anata, I just wanted to tell you that you are no longer running off of Yggdrasil. We have you getting you're power from the four reactors that powered Yggdrasil when it first came on line. And right now you're over all power is 51.30% and increasing. Ex here had devised a buffer that allows us to increase you're charge rate. When you reach 100% you can take power from one reactor at a time, or you can suck power from all four reactors at once. Giving an effect of not having a point limiter, but we would advise not doing that. There is a lot of risk in that action." Peorth said.

"Do you know how long it would take for me to reach full?" Anata asked.

Ex was able to hear the question and turned around in her chair to answer the question. "Approximately forty five minutes, Earth time Ma'am."

"Did you hear that?" Peorth asked.

"I did, And our shadow friend wants a fight I will give her one. But her body is some one else's. How do I remove the Shadow out and keep the body intact?" Anata asked.

"The Goddess battle cross can do it, All you need to do is will it to make it happen." Peorth said.

"That's all and great, but how do I use this over drive thing?" Anata asked as she looked over at Kou's bracelets.

"We are sending you and other ear ring, it should be coming through the at the bath tub any minute." Peorth said.

"Why the bath?" Anata asked.

"Water is the only thing that can transport non living objects." Kou answered.

"Okay? How do I use it?" Anata asked.

"When you put it on, it will activate. All you need to do is to remove it." Peorth said.

"Alright, I've got a date to keep." Anata said, and then she handed the phone to Kou who had a rather confused look.

"Once second Peorth I better go and see what she is going to do." Kou said as he placed the phone on counter top.

Chasing after Anata, Kou reached her before she was about to walk in to her room. "What are you doing?" Kou asked.

"Kou, I'm going to change my cloths." Anata replied.

"You know what I mean." Kou said as he stopped Anata.

"I'm going to change my cloths. And make up a plane. Think about it Kou. Power is felt when it's used. Right?" Anata said.

"Correct. What's you're point?" Kou asked.

"We just need to come up with a to come right up to the mall. NOW if you will excuse me I would like to change my cloths." Anata said as she pushed Kou out of the way and walked in to her room.

Back in the living room where the orb that holds Keiichi, Belldandy, Urd and Mara. Everyone in the orb are trying to over hear what's going on down the hall way.

"I told you Belldandy, Anata and Kou are going to become lovers." Urd said.

"Oh this from the self proclaimed Goddess of Love. Please every one knows it's going to happen." Mara stated. (Shut up!) "After what happened with her last boyfriend, that's why I said that she can't have another one until she turns twenty one." Keiichi said.

"Keiichi I know even you can see it between them." Belldandy said.

"Look there's Kou." Urd said pointing out the orb, then every one leaned closer to the sides trying to hear more.

They watched as Kou picked up the phone and started to take again to Peorth.

"Anata's making a plane right now but I have known idea what it is." Kou said.

Then everyone in the orb watched as he nodded and lessened to Peorth.

"Yes Ma'am, I haven't forgotten my job." Kou said as he nodded again. "Yes, Ma'am at all costs."

Kou then hung up the phone and walked over to the orb and kneeled down.

"Tell me, Lady Belldandy. Where did Anata get her stubbornness from?" Kou asked.

In side the orb every one looked at Belldandy. "I'm not stubborn.... I'm strong willed." Belldandy replied.

"Right..." Kou said.

In Anata's room, Anata was putting on a pain to blue genes. As she happened to look out side, there she saw her motorcycle and her father's EVO. There under the security light in the back yard. Thin her plane came to her, grabbing her heavy leather jacket, she walked out of the room and in to the bath room. There in the bath tub, right where Peorth had said it would be. She found her Point Limiter. Reaching in to the water she took it in to her hand. When she pulled it out she looked at it for a second and then clipped it on to her ear. When she did, she heard a low ringing tone, and then it was gone. Walking back out of the bath room, Anata grabbed her helmet. When she walked back out to the living room she found Kou still looking confused. She then walked up to the orb and picked it up.

"Dad, Where are the keys to the EVO?" Anata asked.

Keiichi searched his pockets and pulled out his keys. "Sorry sweetie, the keys are in here with us."

"My keys are sitting on the night stand in mine and you're father's room." Belldandy said.

"Thanks mom." Anata said. Kou watched as Anata handed him the orb and Anata walked out of the room. Then she came back in to the room with the keys in her hand and a box.

"Look I'm going to put you guys in this box so nothing happens to you." Anata said as she took the orb from Kou and placed them it in to the box and closed it.

"What are you going to do?" Kou asked.

"Come on Kou, you are going to learn how to drive." Anata said as she took his arm and dragged him out side.

Once out side, Anata unlocked the driver side door to the EVO and got in. Pressing all the way down on the clutch, Anata started the car up. All the read outs spiked up and back down. Kou stood there looking at her with a questioning look.

"This whole save the world thing is new to you, is it?" Kou asked as he looked in to the car.

"Yep. I'm making it up as I go." Anata said "Now lessen up. When you drive this thins, watch this needle, when it's about to reach the red here, let off the gas and press this thing called the clutch. Then you shift to the next gear, and then you let off the clutch and push the gas back down. It's the same thing when slowing down back wards. Got it?" Anata asked as she got out of the car.

"I think so. What about you?" Kou asked.

"I'm taking my bike and going there first. You give me a ten minute head start." Anata said.

Anata then walked over to her bike and unhooked the side car. She then got on her bike and then put on her helmet.

"Making it up as you go eh?" Kou said. "And where is the mall?"

"It's the place where the first attack took place." Anata replied.

(Awakening)

Starting the bike up, Anata then waved to Kou and pulled out of the back yard. Kou sat there thinking for a moment as he heard the engine to Anata's motorcycle fad away. He the put the car in to gear and pulled out of the back yard, knowing that he didn't give her the ten minute head start.

As Anata drove to the Mall, she was in deep thought; little did she know the new OS that Ex had made for the reactors also linked her to the Yggdrasil data banks. And all knowledge and skills are at her disposal. How to use her powers, how to fight, how to sing, how to be a Goddess, even the inner workings of Yggdrasil. Came in to her head, Even her destiny, every thing was clear to her.

As she rounded the corner on the high way, the mall came in to view in the distance. Taking the exit for the mall, she was able to see that there were several shadow monsters on the roof of the building, when she got on to the last road that lead to the mall. She was able to see the monsters line up on the roof. Speeding up Anata watched as she was fast reaching speeds over 85mph, and fast coming up on the mall. When she reached the parking lot she found her self dodging several blast of energy.

Rounding the same corner, Kou was just figuring out how to drive the car, when he noticed the battle taking place at the parking lot of the mall.

"Aw hell, I really hope that nothing happens to her...." Kou said as he shifted to the next gear.

Back at the parking lot, Anata was still trying to dodge the blasts. Then a blast hit just in front of her bike, throwing her from the bike. Anata rolled several feet before coming to a stop. Knowing that the smoke from her burning bike was covering her, Anata rolled around on to her back and ripped off her helmet.

"That... hurts... " Anata said to her self.

She then rolled over to her side just in time to see the EVO skid to a stop and Kou step out of it. Kou then ran to wreckage of Anata's motorcycle. She watched as he searched around looking for her. When he saw her, Kou ran to her side and helped her up.

"Anata are you all right?" Kou asked as he checked her out.

"I'm fine. I just got the wend knocked out of me." Anata replied.

Through the flames, Kou was able to see several shadow monsters walk out of the main doors of the mall. "Stay here where they can not see you." Kou ordered then he stepped out from behind the flames.

Anata watched as Kou brought each hand to the others wrest and with a snap each of his bracelets fell to the ground.

CLING! CLING!

There was nothing but silence, Anata was expecting something dromadic after he remover the bracelets.

"That sucks..." Anata said.

IN the heavens, Ere saw that Kou's Point Limiters were removed and the power flow through out Yggdrasil was being rerouted to Kou.

"Peorth! Kou Just removed his Point Limiters. I'm seeing the power grid redirect to Kou's running program." Ere informed.

Standing up out of her chair, Peorth looked at the Yggdrasil main frame. "It starts.."

On Earth, Kou was still standing there in the middle of the parking lot. And then the ground started to shake. Anata watched as light started to shine from the ground around Kou, and his God symbols on his face changed. From the three lines that was on his fore head. They rearranged to form a triangle. His eye's flashed a bright blue. Looking up at the monsters, he reached for his staff and opened it.

"I will not let you pass." Kou said to the Shadow monsters as they walked ever closer. And with out looking back at Anata he charged the monsters.

Watching Kou run in to a battle that really had a slim chance of winning, Anata stood back up. There she saw Ryoka standing on the roof of the mall.

"There you are." Anata said as she reached for a rod to make a battle staff and lifted off the ground. When she was in mid air her watched started to beep. She had reached full power. While she was changing, she had set her watch for the fifteen minutes she had left before she reached full power. Anata watched as Ryoka walked over to some type of pipe and ripped it out of the roof of the mall. Anata and Ryoka met with a loud clinging sound.

"Why are you doing this?" Anata asked as she starred Ryoka in the eyes from the other side if her battle staff.

Swinging the pipe to only have it blocked by Anata's battle cross, Ryoka answered. "Yggdrasil made us. And Yggdrasil wants to destroy us. We are simply defending our self's."

"What!? Attacking other words is not defending, it's invading." Anata said.

Seeing a smirk come across Ryoka's face, Ryoka swung her pipe again. Knocking Anata's battle cross out of her hands; Anata watched as it went souring through the air. Before Anata knew it she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Grabbing her stomach, Anata fell to her knees.

In the parking lot, Kou was being surrounded by more then a hundred Shadow monsters. Swing his arm, he sent a wave of air to some monsters coming up behind him. But there was still too much for even him to handle. There was still one more thing he could do. Kou took his staff and drove it in to the ground; the staff passed through the concrete like it was not there.

"No choice..." Kou said to him self.

Placing his hands on either side of his staff, Kou started to chant a spell.

"Oh lightning of the sky and water of the Earth, come together as one and as a form that is most natural. CIRCLE OF DISCRETION, LIGHTNING BOOM!!!!" Kou's voice echoed.

In the sky, clouds started to form and lightning flashed. Then around Kou in a circle a wave of water several feet high went out in all directions, then lightning shot down from the sky in a circle, making creators in the ground all around Kou.

On the roof the sound from Kou's spell was deafening. Both Anata and Ryoka covered their ears. When the noise was over, Ryoka started to circle Anata.

"Before the human girl that I took this body from; you should have known the envy she had. It was even to a point of hate. She Looked up to you and you didn't even say a word to her. And you are to become a Goddess; you didn't even give her the time of day." Ryoka said.

Looking up at Ryoka, Anata was about to get back up but she was knocked back to her knees. "I didn't know. And I did give her the time. She asked me in the halls at school one day. I never did an unkind thing to her. Sure I could have asked her to sit with me and Yu during lunch, but I am half human and even Goddesses are not infallible and lord knows that humans aren't perfect."

Anata watched as Ryoka circled her, around and around and around. Anata is waiting for the right time. And slowly she brought her hands up behind her head. Her left hand came with in inches of the point limiter.

"Yggdrasil thinks their the force that is behind all creation. But who do you think made Yggdrasil? Not you're grandfather, oh no some force much older, much more powerful." Ryoka said as she stepped in front of Anata. Moving her hands to he ears, Anata in one swift movement ripped off two rods for a battle cross and threw them at Ryoka. Seeing them coming she dodged out of the way of the two crosses, but as she dodged the first two she didn't see Anata get up and grab the first cross she had. And threw it, the blue orb at the end of the cross hit Ryoka right in the chest. Sparks sent flying in every direction. Then Anata saw the dark figure emerged from Ryoka. The screeching sound made Anata cover her ears. As she watched as the Dark figure, Anata reached for her Point Limiter and ripped it off.

Back in Yggdrasil Ex saw the reading show that Anata had just removed her Point Limiter. Looking up at the reactors she saw the great spinning rotors, gain speed and the glowing blue light behind them turn to a red, and the reactor started to shake. Ex then pushed a button for the intercom.

"Peorth. Anata Just removed her Point Limiter. All reactors are peeking, Anata's power is increasing." Ex said.

On Earth, Anata waited for something to happen. But like with Kou there is a slight delay. Feeling something different, Anata looked around and found that there was small beams of light circled her, then as she looked up she saw a beam shoot down from the heavens. When it hit her the beam widened and grew to cover her. On her forehead, two dotes emerged from under her skin; a white light enveloped her body from the neck down. Then the light shattered to reveal full Goddess cloths that were blue with white, and two peaces of fabric that looked like wings. And her normal dark brown eyes had changed in to a bright blue almost white. Anata then looked at the dark figure that was once in Ryoka's body.

"You are a monster of the dark. And something of the dark can not remain where there is light." Anata said as a light started to glow from her chest.

Back on the ground Kou was looking in to the light that seemed to grow, and fast filled the roof top of the mall and then the light flooded over the edge and out on to the parking lot. Kou had just snapped his own Point Limiters back on as the light covered him. The light filled the parking lot and out on to the streets.

In the heavens Ere was reading a huge power source coming from earth. Not sure what it was she started to type on her harpboard, to figure out what it was. But no data was making and sense to her. "Ma'am I'm picking up a huge power reading coming from earth. I have no idea what it is." Ere said to Peorth.

"Let's see it." Peorth said as she stood up from her chair.

A huge screen came up in front of the whole Yggdrasil control room. And there they saw a orbital view of Japan, and at the southern regain a dome of light seemed to grow bigger and bigger, even to the point where the light was extending out into international waters. Peorth stood the shocked. She had never seen any thing light that. Then the dome of light focused in to a beam of light shooting out in o deep space. Then it was gone.

On Earth, Kou was able o feel the light was gone, Then he removed his arm that was covering his eyes, then he looked up to find Anata still floating several feel above the roof top. Flying up to the top of the mall, Kou was able to see Anata crawl to the small earring.

Suffering from something like a head rush, Anata is having troubles seeing. She saw a fuzzy image of the Point Limiter, and reached to it and clipped it on to her ear. Anata was able to feel the power from the reactors return to normal. Then she changed back to how she was before she removed the Point Limiter. From her hands and knees she rolled to her back, to see Kou landing there beside her.

"Did you.... See that one.... Kou.... No hands...." Anata happened to say before she blacked out.

"I saw it..." Kou said then he picked Anata up and walked back to the temple.

Back at the temple Keiichi was looking in the direction of the light. Belldandy is trying to make him feel better. "Keiichi dear, I know their fine. I know this." Belldandy ensured.

"I know you know this, but I just can't help having a bad feeling." Keiichi said.

"Keiichi it's been over an hour since we were released from that orb thing, and seen that light. Anata and Kou are probably having a good romp some where." Urd said as she patted Keiichi on his shoulder.

But the only replied she got was a dark glair from Keiichi and Belldandy only rolling her eyes.

"Or maybe not." Urd said.

Belldandy then looked over to the front door to find Mara examining the Shadow orb that held all of them captive. Belldandy then walked over to Mara.

"Mare dear, hand me the orb." Belldandy said with her hand extending out.

"What ever, if I bring something like this back Hild will be giving me a promotion." Mara said.

"Mara. the orb please." Belldandy said again.

Seeing the look on Belldandy's face that told Mara to do what she was told. "Fine, here I didn't want that promotion, and that nice new apartment sever more feet away from Hild and you're father extremely loud nights of love making." Mara said as she handed the orb to Belldandy.

Hearing that last part about her parents, Urd just shivered. Belldandy then took the orb and walked to where she had a direct line of sight of the walls around the Temple. Throwing the orb as hard as she could the orb hit the wall and shattered in to millions of peaces.

"Such evil devices should not be." Belldandy said as she turned around. As she saw Keiichi she saw Kou walking through the gate of the Temple. With Anata in his arms.

"ANATA!" Belldandy yelled as she ran to her daughter.

"Fear not lady Belldandy. Anata is alive. She just over exerted her self." Kou said as he carried Anata in to the temple.

"Was that light...." Keiichi asked.

"It was." Kou replied.

Kou walked passed, Belldandy and every one else. Once in the temple Kou placed Anata on the couch. Then he turned to Belldandy, Keiichi, Urd and Mara.

"She removed her Point Limiter, then the light came.... Then.... Then all the shadows that were here became no more... Such power.." Kou managed to say before falling over out cold him self.

(Grief)

Three days later, Anata found her self looking up and the ceiling. It was hard for her to move. She was still feeling the effects from the battle from the night before. It hurt when she rolled on to her side. It was abnormally quite that morning. There was no fighting between Her Aunt Urd and Auntie Skuld. The sounds of her mother were heard chopping something in the kitchen. Going against her own better judgment, Anata slowly got up out of her futon. Anata slowly limped out of her room and in to the kitchen where she found her mother. Sincing that her daughter was behind her Belldandy turned around to see non other then Anata.

"Anata honey, you should be resting." Belldandy said as she walked up to Anata to help her back to her room.

"I'm fine I just want to walk around some." Anata said.

"Vary well.. How do you feel?" Belldandy asked as she walked back to the cutting board.

"I feel like hell." Anata replied.

"Well you most sirntlly look it. Maybe a nice bath will help you feel better." Belldandy said.

"How's Kou? Is he still resting?" Anata asked.

Belldandy stopped chopping the carrot and slowly put the knife down. A sadden expression came across her face; slowly she turned around to face her daughter.

"Anata... I'm sorry buy yesterday when you where still resting. Kou had gotten a recall notice." Belldandy replied.

"What dose that mean?" Anata asked.

"I'm sorry Anata. But Kou had to return to Yggdrasil. There was nothing that we could have done." Belldandy said as she gave her daughter a huge.

Slowly Anata pushed away from her mother's embrace. "What do you mean that there as nothing that you could have done?! Didn't you and Dad go against grandfather?!"

"Anata at the time I was bound by a contract. There was something wrong with the system." Belldandy replied.

"It's the same thing!" Anata yelled as she left the kitchen and stormed back to her room. Belldandy jumped slightly as she head Anata slam her door shot and soon after that. All Belldandy could hear coming from her daughter's room was crying.

After a good hour of crying, Anata had happened to look at her desk, there she found an envelope with her name on it. Clearing the tears from her eyes Anata slowly tore it open and started to read it.

~*~*~*~*~*~* in the letter ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My dearest Anata,

I regret not saying good bye to you in person, but the recall notice was rather sudden. And you at the time still needed you're rest. You're mother and father has extended me the offer of coming and visit when ever I want, and you must trust me that I will come every chance I get. I don't want to be away from you, I don't want to hear of you crying. Because from what you mother tells me she you would be crying as you read this. Wipe those tears from you're eyes, someone as beautiful as you should not cry. Peorth just called so the gate is ready. I better go. You will be with in my thoughts every waking and sleeping moment. I love you so much...

Kou

~*~*~*~*~*~*~* End of the letter ~*~*~*~*~*~*

IN the kitchen Belldandy could feel that her daughter was feeling some what better. Keiichi then walked up behind Belldandy.

"How did she take it?" Keiichi asked.

Then Anata walked back out of her room, to find her parents there at the kitchen.

"Sorry Mom about yelling at you." Anata said.

"It's all right dear." Belldandy said as she hugged Anata again.

"You should have see how much of a wreck I became when ever the possibility came up of me losing you're mother. But I have known idea what you are going through. But if there is anything you need, just ask." Keiichi said.

"Yes if there is anything, please tell us Anata dear." Belldandy added.

"There is something..." Anata said.

Keiichi and Belldandy gave their daughter a questioning look.

(A new beginning)

Up in the heavens, several more days; and Kou is playing catch up with his studies. Once again he found him self in the huge class room where every thing started. He found that he could not focus on his class work. Every detail of Anata's face was replaying in his head. Her smile, her eyes, every thing about her. Hearing the door to the class room open, He looked to see who it was. HE saw Peorth walk in to the room.

"It's her again.. What dose she want?" Kou asked him self.

Kou watched as Peorth talked to the instructor, as he and Peorth spoke just for a moment then Peorth left the room.

"Alright every one. We have a new student that will be joining. Please make her feel welcome." The instructor said, and then he motioned to the door.

Kou watched to see who the new student was. Then he watched a shadow of some one walking in to the room, there was Anata, shocked Kou about jumped out of his seat.

"Please Introduce you're self." The instructor said to Anata.

"Hello my name is Anata Morisato. This is my first day here at the Yggdrasil School of God and Goddess training. I am vary honored to be accepted here at this school." Anata said.

"Vary nice to meet you. I think that you know Mr. Morino? Please take a seat next to him." The instructor instructed.

Doing what she was told, Anata walked up the stars to the level where Kou was sitting at, and she took the seat next to him. The two just looked at each other and smiled. Words were not needed to express their feelings. Kou then took Anata's hand as they looked to the front of the room.
