Neon Genesis
Megami-Sama!

Chapter One.

"...Who the hell are you...!?" The frantic scream was released as Keiichi dove back against the fragile wall of the dormitory, in the meantime of which the Goddess before him glided out from the mirror in an elegant traversal, coming to a perfect landing upon uncovered, delicate feet, the possessing woman of whom was smiling politely to the student all the while.

"..I am very sorry for startling you so, Mister Morisato." Ever the image of formality, the Goddess bowed a sincere gesture of apology, before she straightened, and continued.
"I am Belldandy, Goddess First Class, Heaven High Devil Countenance Organization, Recruitment Division.. Designate Third Child. Pleased to meet you!" The lengthy introduction complete, she smiled warmly, and proceeded to patiently allow Keiichi's mortal mind to take the weighty amount of information to heart.

"...Ok. What do you want?" Forget that, he'd try and figure out what all that mess the ...startlingly polite woman had ranted on meant another day.
"Why, I'm here to recruit you for the Heaven Defense Coordinations, of course! Designate Keiichi Morisato, First Child, Mortal Zero Class." Proceedures that she went through with unwavering politeness, stated as cooly as one would a standard medical procedure.

"...What are you talking about..?! I'm no soldier..! I never even signed up for the draft!" On second thought, he shouldn't have admitted that much information.. but it was too late, by then, wasn't it?

"Why, that's of no consequence whatsoever... You'll be trained by the very best in personnel, of course, no previous experience required!
"There is one thing, however..."

"...What's that...?" Keiichi wondered, with a sigh as he leaned back against the wall, arms folded over his midrift in an impatient manner.. Here came the catch, he well knew.

"You have to truly desire the will to assist humanity in your heart, or it will be of no use.. and.. as per the Heaven Defense Parameter Associate contract, you are additionally permitted," in mid sentence, to solidfy the seriousness of the statement, the angelic woman held out a single index finger.
"..A single wish."

"..A wish...? You mean... I can have... anything?"
Keiichi couldn't help but smile in dreamy ponderings at this thought, mist filling his clouded mind as he began to dwell on the possibilies.

"..Like this...?"
"No, I get to massage Keiichi-sama next!"
"No, me!" "You went last time!"
"Now now, ladies... You may all go at once!"

"...Or ... this...?"
"Winner of the Tokyo Drag Race 500, and one million yen, Keiichi Morisato!"

"...Or... or even ...this...!?"

We're awful sorry, everyone, budget ran short, we couldn't make the set budget for the third fantasy's filming. We now continue with your regularly scheduled parody, all ready in progress. --auth.

"Oh my. Those are... awfully elaborate dreams, Mr. Morisato.. but yes, you may have whatever you like.. but we tend not to enter into deals with persons who would wish for things so... outlandish. Only individuals of special personality are chosen, you understand.. It's a great honor, to be one of kind heart like yourself." Belldandy again smiled warmly, hoping she wasn't intruding too much by seating herself at the table's nearby end, across from the considerably backed-off Keiichi.

"...Uh-huh, I think I get you..."
The student sighed with a pause, looking down to the floor contemplatively... if this was all true, then it really was the opportunity of a lifetime...! ...but what if his sempai were just playing an elaborate joke on him, like they were so want to do...? What kind of fool did they take him for, anyway...? 'It's not like it's my fault I'm the only dateless resident... geez, this is low, even for Tami-'

"You mean you don't have a girlfriend?" The gentle inquiry from the ever-patient woman interjected right in the middle of Keiichi's thought process, the possessor of whom blinked a number of times at the girl's seeming frightfully-utilized personality observance skills.
"It seems so unusual a kind person like yourself remains single for such a lengthened period, Mister Morisato," she continued, unhindered by her companion's vivid startlement. One grew used to this after a millenia or two.

"All right... all right, hold the phone here," Keiichi muttered in low response, head shaken lightly as he deterred the subject from its undesirable path. This was getting too elaborate, even for a scheme cooked up by his less-than-mentally-stable dormmates.. he had to put a stop to it, and the sooner, the better.
Within moments, Keiichi looked up with a brightened expression, having devised the perfect means to do so.
"...Wait, I think I've got my wish," he commented across the table in the other person's direction, smirking proudly as he did so. Keiichi was going to turn the tables on those tricksters in their own game, yes indeed.

"Have you decided already?" Belldandy smiled brightly, relieved that this had gone so well, so fast.. it typically took a Chosen an average of two months to render such a decision. Of course, the last one wasn't the most sharp of persons... even if Mister Hibiki had been nothing but polite, he was rather slow in the recollection department..

One way or the other, Keiichi was going to find out just what was behind all this, and just to what extent. It'd be a temperate day in Hokkaido before his sempai got the best of him.
"I... want..." ('...wait a second... Hokkaido is temperate... damn it.').. With each word slowly released in the midst of his thought-infused declaration, Keiichi slowly builded considerable emotional backing, before an index finger was thrust dramatically forward to the woman before him, who recoiled in quiet stunned perplexion.
"...a person... like you... to be my girlfriend, forever!"
'Heh heh... see what you think about that one, Tamiya...'

Keiichi had been expectedly prepared for a great many responses to come. His sempai revealing themselves in the midst of their ruined scheme, sure. A slap to the face from the woman, maybe... she seemed too nice for that, though.
A beam of light erupting from that same person's forehead, which tore through the ceiling above, and shot straight for the heavens like a detonated rocket?
Suffice it to say, the latter of the options that actually took place wasn't prepared for in the slightest.
In the middle of a frantic cry's releasal, Keiichi threw his arms up for protection from the violent wind storm that suddenly shot up in the wake of the woman's vivrant energy relesal, wincing as he was thrown to collide against the wooden wall just behind him.

"What in the...?" The faded end to the question was drowned out by the resonating hum of the continually present beam, which resonated with a faint blue glow as Belldandy soundlessly.. floated in stasis between the floor and ceiling, as if patiently awaiting response.
If this had been the truth of the matter, one must have been received.. for just as abruptly as the blast took place, it ceased existence, as the again-smiling Belldandy returned her attentions to the stunned Keiichi, addressing him in a jubilant, successful tone.
"I'm pleased to inform you, after extensive consultation with SEELE High Command itself, that your wish has been approved!"

By the moment in which Keiichi's initial comatose-like state had finally worn off, his initial response was to blink a numbering of times, again, and lowly comment, as one would when just awakened from a nightmare.

"...You mean that ... you and I are... going to be?..."
"...Together on this plane of existence as a couple? Of course! Approved wishes are taken quite seriously by the Almighty, Keiichi-san, and this one is no exception.. Upon approval, a wish is immediately put into effect, and permanetly binding."
"...Wait a second, now...!" This exclaimation was interjected by the worried, forward taken gesture of Keiichi's hands taking firm hold of the woman's lightly attired shoulders, as if to snap her out of whatever trance she was hopefully raving under the influence of.
"I wasn't serious...! It was just a j-..."

It went without saying, an instant later, that the last thing the abruptly-arrived pack of dormitory residents... the largest of whom slammed the thin door aside like paper-mache.. expected to bear witness to was the sight of their youngest resident with company. Female company.
Attractive, extravagantly-clothed female company, whom Keiichi somehow developed the courage to take passionate hold of.

Among other emotions such as rage and disbelief, the initial emotion that came to the observing Tamiya's mind was one of envy.

"..Morisato! Dormitory Code #316-A, Subdirectory Gamma, Line 37 clearly dictates that no resident of Nekomi Tech's luxurious," the massive, apparent 'leader' of the swaggering pack behind him gestured about the compacted, disarrayed dormitory with a prideful outcasted arm's reach, "dormitories shall, under any circumstances, be allowed unauthorized female visitors!"

"Righteous moves, Morisato... Didn't think you had it in ya'," was the smirked comment of Tamiya's thinner associate, Ootaki, who gave a bit of a drunken 'thumbs-up' in the frozen Keiichi's direction, and his conversely smiling, polite associate, who merely bowed her head in a formal greeting to the small group of unexpected guests.

"Why, good evening... Are you Mister Morisato's classmates...? It's quite a pleasure to meet you." Belldandy calmly smiled and again gave a half bow of her bowed visage in the group's direction, who meanwhile had intently begun storming closer to the couple's respective location.

"Morisato," the deep-voiced Tamiya continued, unhindered, and rather forebodingly. "You do know the ramifications of breaking Code #316-A."
"Line 37," Ootaki added.

"..Not Retaliatory Measure #36...!" Keiichi fearfully recalled the well-known punishment for violating any dormitory measure, particularly one so regarded of such high importance.

"...Shall be," Tamiya continued, before he, and his gathering of assocates finished the statement, perfectly attuned with one another, as if on cue.
"...CAST OUT!"

It was worth noting that this verbally-reminded threat would have been a great deal more fear inspiring as was intended, had not a massive explosion tore through the educational district of Nekomi Tech, the resulting shockwave of which knocked all present to the ground in pained positionings, except for a lone, bewildered Belldandy, who glanced about at the demolished dormitory, which would likely become inflamed in mere moments, and added, simply:
"Oh my."

The towering emerald creature had appeared instaneously from the sky, far too swift a time frame during which any sentinent being could respond accordingly. The monstrosity was quick to take advantage of this fact, of course, and as such, it proceeded to unleash a barrage of energetic-beamed assaults upon the buildings arrayed before it, many of which went down in detonated piles of collapsed rubble.

Had the Third Devil been capable of emotional response to this destruction it was the apparent inciting source of, it would have smiled.
