The Daimakaicho walked back into her office, a small stack of files levitating behind her as she moved. At every step she would pause, and one could see her scowling slightly in obvious displeasure. I'll be forced to…eliminate him. Or the powers of the demons will be revealed to the gods.
Hild turned and let herself plop down on the recliner, dropping the binders into the emptiness around her. It bobbed a little, before hovering stationary. I've no idea how powered he is, though. Looks like I've only one option.
A fox-like grin spread across the Queen's face.

A certain demon stared at a certain goddess with rather suspicious eyes.
"Say that again?"
"If you ingest an angel's egg, you'll probably be able to become a god!"
"…Right. Wasn't there something about power levels?" I fear her answer.
"Well…"
I really fear her answer.
"That's what your new, intense, and overall SPECIAL training is for!"
Urd smiled brightly and ran off, though not before turning around to shout at Keiichi.
"Remember, one o'clock, which is an hour from now!"
Why. Me.

Seven hours, breakfast, and three more hours later, Keiichi was beginning to feel that the requirement for an angel was death.
"Go for it, Keiichi-san!"
At least there's Belldandy here.
The demon smiled weakly, and got himself to his feet.
What did Urd say again? Hand motions, incantations, summoning…Keiichi raised his hands in a slow, liquid motion.
Remember…the system is at one with you. You flow in it…A circular palm movement followed in quick succession.
…And it flows with you. The Yggdrasil is a both a program…
Taking a step backwards, he let his legs arch into a reverse curve.
And the life force of everything.
Urd blinked a few times. I never thought him those movements.
The demon in question took another crescent-shaped step frontward.
What it created, it will destroy. For it was built by…Keiichi drew his palms back, and stood steady.
…Gods and Demons, and built for Gods and Demons…
Both hands drew themselves to his chest, and they met with a definitive "clap".
…And it's power is ours to tap.
Keiichi thrust his hands out to his side, and stood in a mid-crouch position.
Urd stared. Very, very familiar. But I'm sure I've never thought him that before. I wonder what it is- It was at that point which Keiichi began his program coding.
"Sear the air with heaven's slice, Flux the winds with hell's device, Raise the storms with fear long-drawn, Call down nature's wrath reborn. Sedna's Whisper."A gust built up around the demon, and began to wrap itself around his hand, forming a shimmering, spiraling wrap. As the tempest died down, the flurry around Keiichi's arm condensed into a translucent, silver-tinged blade, glinting maliciously in the sunlight. He swung it up and down for a feel, before looking up at the goddesses and smiled as brightly as the edges of his 'sword'.
"Keiichi-san, wonderful!"
Urd just watched her sister laugh. Impossible. That skill is a near exact replica of…No. It's still impossible.

How I hate this.
A broom whisked across the ground.
How I so hate this.
A pile of dust with blasted to bits by the impact of a certain bristled stick.
How I so, so hate this.
"Very good, Mara-chan! And you cut a nice figure in that outfit, too."
How I so, so, so hate HIM.
Aoshima decided that Mara grinning evilly and pulverizing a dirt speck was not exactly a good sign. He returned to his papers. Though, she's too cute to be resisted. Maybe just a small peek.

Click. Clickity-click. Click. Wham. Wham. Wham.
One more of these scrunched up codes, and I'm done.Skuld, impromptu debugger of system coding and third-party tapping software, decided it was high time she was free from the post which had been dumped on her by means of sabotage. It was high time she had a break. It was high time she went to Earth. It was high time she saw Onee-sama. It was high time she punished Keiichi.
The Skuld Button Mashing Grand Finals soon began.

"Splinter Surge!""Vermillion Breeze!"
A few beams of gold shot downward, homing in onto a single target… only to be countered by an orange swirl of wind energy.
Urd flipped backwards and landed in a crouch in the roof tiles. He's good, for a new demon. Being able to handle first class magic so easily, too.
Keiichi had flung himself onto a branch, and using it as a pivot, he swung an arc, leaping in Urd's direction.
Hand-to-Hand, eh, Keiichi? I can live with that. She called up a little ball of lightning in her palm. In three…two…on-
"Sedna's Whisper."
Urd saw Keiichi vanish from his location in mid-air, before a breeze streaked past her, slicing her sleeve off.
She turned round, and stared at a demon, grinning and giving a thumbs up. That move, too. He uses it so easily. Far too easily. Considering who else uses something similar to it.
The goddess watched as Keiichi went over to collect a cup of tea from a brightly smiling Belldandy, the pair bursting into peals of merry laughter, the sub-tones of a demon and a goddess merging as one for a long, long time in history.
There's something about him I can't figure out.

Peorth raced across the ground, while using her aura to track those of the beasts tailing her. Demonic traces. I'm caught up in something, all right. Let's see, we have…
She spared a moment's time to take a quick glimpse of her hunters.
…Three dog-like creatures, one scythe-armed humanoid and a Second Class demon leading them. Tsk. They underestimate my abilities.
Kicking her foot briefly into the ground, the goddess did a reverse somersault into the air, before landing behind her chasers. Come forth, Gorgeous Rose! The angel materialized behind her.
Peorth sprang up once again, kicking off a lamppost before lashing out with a rose-thorn whip, drawing blood. She let the gash thicken, before tilting her hand slightly to allow the weapon to sink in deeper. A quick tug ravaged one hound. Too easy.
The others were already moving into attacking positions, ready to strike. Two dogs and one monstrosity bulleted towards her, aimed to maim and poised to kill. Peorth sighed for a moment, before crouching down.
She disappeared from view.
The creatures paused, switching into a defensive mode, while the demon, alone by himself, simply stood aside to watch, though under the protection of a heavy shield. She's fast. They'll be overwhelmed.
Nothing happened for a while, and the beings became wary.
Crack.
The second hound was slammed into a wall, before thorns broke through and wrapped themselves around it, constricting and impaling. The third hound simply succumbed to a sudden blow to the neck, producing a light "snap" sound. The monster just turned round and got its face kicked in.
Peorth phased back into vision's boundaries, landed on the ground too softly. As expected, they couldn't match me in speed. And now, we're left with him.
The demon in question grinned slightly, before disengaging the shield, and stepping forwards.
Peorth fell into a caster's stance. I'll let him make the first move.
"Him" simply stood there, and smiled. I'll let her make the first move.
A slight pause indicated no one was going to move anyway.
It only took five seconds later for both to vanish from their spots.
They traded blows in mid-air, before the demon struck the goddess in the chest, and swinging her downward. Peorth slammed into the ground with a sickening thud.
Gah. He's quick to spot a hole in my defense. Let's end this quick.
She got to her feet, before leaping backwards and landing in a semi-crouch.
The goddess sped through the incantations with practiced motions, and muttered slowly; "Garnet Ascension…"
Crimson petals begin falling for absolutely no reason, and the demon simply stared at them, pulling up a shield for safety's sake. Can't trust a goddess with this.
Peorth smiled serenely, and snapped her fingers. "…Begin."
The roses stopped falling, and hung in mid-air. A slight pause signified impending doom, and the demon narrowed his eyes to slits. I've to stop this before she actually begins the attack. He lunged out of the shield, a ball of dark energy hollowing in the wind.
Pause.
The first thing he noted was that he had not impacted. The second thing he noted was the fact that the petals had wrapped his torso like a straitjacket. The third thing he noted was Peorth's all-too-bright smile.
A pair of wings blossomed from the petals, fanning out in all their glory.
Before slamming in on the demon. A brilliant red glow surrounded it, and a flash of crimson light lashed out across the land.
Peorth turned away from the fizzed-out demon, before preparing a quick dimensional jump. Be grateful. I let you suffer in beauty. And be grateful for the duplet system, too…
She began the recall protocol.
…You piece of second-rate junk.

Belldandy stopped for a moment in the clearing up of dishes, and closed her eyes. I sense…something. Something is coming here. A friend? A…foe? Keiichi-san…could 'it' be after you?
She walked out of the kitchen, and towards Keiichi's room.

Whew, finally managed to get Chapter 5 out. Well, sorry to keep you waiting. Anyway, I'll like to thank RedPBass for reviewing, too.
The next chapter'll be out as soon as possible, due to school and stuff. Hopefully, I'll have it by Monday or Tuesday.
Once again, thanks for anyone reading this.
