Belldandy was gathering the dishes to clean them. She was dressed in her lazy clothes. A smile was on her face as she thought, 'Not even Mara could ruin this life.'
Then she heard someone cry out from Keiichi's room, "Yeeow! Hot! Hot!"
Belldandy quickly put down the dishes and ran to his room, where she found Urd and Skuld glaring at each other and standing over Keiichi. Urd pointed at Skuld and spat, "That smart mouth is gonna get you into some real hot water, young lady!"
Belldandy let out, "Eh? Oh. Ohh!"
She grew scared, as Skuld was pretty much the one who worshiped Belldandy the most in Heaven.
Skuld looked towards Belldandy and blinked a few times before politely asking, "Who are you, miss?"
"Uh?" Bellandy asked, tilting her head a little.
"I'm looking for my big Sister, Belldandy. She's absolutely the best!" Skuld explained with a warm smile.
Belldandy's mouth seemed to get really dry at that moment. "I'm… Belldandy, Skuld."
Skuld looked Belldandy up and down before looking unimpressed. "I don't think so. She's perfect. She never loses and always looks the time."
Belldandy's smile went down a little, feeling ashamed. "Skuld, everyone loses from time to time. What's important is how one handles the loss."
Urd glared at Skuld, who rubbed her chin. The youngest Norn muttered, "You can sound like her. I'll give you that much. You just look… unorganized."
Belldandy frowned and felt like her innards were turning into ice. Keiichi stood up and felt a little mad towards Skuld. Urd spoke, "Skuld, Everyone needs a little downtime and even some time to be messy. I mean, do you remember your workshop in Heaven? Most people keep their tools in a toolbox, not all over the room!"
Skuld nervously looked towards Urd and pushed two fingers against each other. "Hey! I just like inventing! If I put away my tools when I finished an invention, I would instantly take them out to work on the next creation!"
Keiichi spoke, "You say you're Belldandy's Sister, right?"
Skuld looked towards Keiichi and replied, "Yup! Her adorable younger sister, ready to take her back home!"
Everyone looked at Skuld with the same look of disbelief. She continued, "Bugs are proliferating out of control in Yggdrasil's meta-program!"
Belldandy produced a pair of glasses and a debugging hammer, right in front of Skuld.
"Huh, So you have a debugging license! We just have to get Belldandy and we'll have a perfect trio to bash the bugs!" Skuld said.
As she summoned her own debugging gear, Urd pointed at herself and asked, "What am I, chopped liver?!"
"Might as well be," Skuld grumbled.
"I really am Belldandy," Belldandy said. Seeing that Skuld was still confused, Belldandy spun around and got in her goddess robe.
"Big sis! You're here!" Skuld said as she hug-tackled Belldandy. "We met someone who kinda looked like you and even had the same name!"
Urd and Keiichi facevaulted. One of Belldandy's eyes twitched.
-o-
Long after the bug problem was handled…
Skuld still had the problem of not being able to identify Belldandy as Belldandy if she was dressed in her lazy clothes. Not even recording Belldandy magically changing her clothes and slowing down the video worked.
Peorth even had the same problem, but got along great with Lazy-Belldandy.
Then there was a knock at the door. Urd answered, "Hello? What the? Mara?"
Belldandy, Skuld, Peorth, Lind, and Keiichi ran out to assist Urd.
Mara had a big smile on her face and stood several feet away. A Glitch bunny was by her side. She produced a Disc that read, 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.
Keiichi gulped before he asked, "Uh… can the glitches use data if it's inserted into them?"
"Yeah, but they can only copy attributes from entities about the size of a rabbit. It's for safety reasons. Nothing really dangerous to us is at that size," Peorth crowed.
"Ever hear of the Rabbit of Caerbannog?" Keiichi asked. The goddesses gave him either a confused look or a blank one. Mara gave him a thumbs-up. "Well, you're about to find out how dangerous it is."
Mara pushed the Disc into the back of the Glitch Rabbit, which absorbed it. As Mara walked away, The Glitch Rabbit gained red eyes and began to slowly walk towards the temple
Keiichi muttered, "Yup, we're in big, big trouble. Luckily, I know a way to defeat it!"
"Not likely," Skuld chuckled as she snapped her fingers. Banpei showed up, armed with four arms, all holding Debugging hammers. She pointed at the slowly incoming Glitch Rabbit and ordered "Go and debug!"
Banpei rushed at the Glitch Rabbit and…
was violently torn apart.
"Good heavens…" Peorth uttered, looking horrified. Lind tightly held her Halberd.
As Banpei's head rolled back towards the goddesses and Keiichi, the latter asked, "Now can I tell you the weakness?"
Skuld was about to yell, but Urd covered her mouth. Lind asked, "Yes, Keiichi. What is the Rabbit of Caerbannog's weakness?"
Keiichi smiled before he explained, "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! We need some white paint, a cross, some white beads, string, a coconut, and one of you to bless it while saying the proper words. I have the explosive in my room."
"So what words?" Belldandy asked.
Skuld freed herself from Urd's hand and said, "I already have grenades, but anything I make is holy from the get-go! There's no need for some dumb mortal words to bless it!"
And so Skuld threw a SkuldBomb.
No effect.
A few more SkuldBombs.
No effect.
She produced some Grenades and threw them.
No effect.
An annoyed Urd said, "Skuld, throw your pride next. I think it's big enough to squish the big bad bunny."
Skuld growled.
Belldandy changed to her goddess garb and said, "Skuld, do as Keiichi says. Lind, Peorth, Urd, and myself will hold off the Glitch."
"Y-yes, Big sis!" Skuld's worshipful nature of Belldandy overtaking her pride. She ran to her room and yelled, "Keiichi, follow me!"
"Right!" Keiichi replied, following her.
"We're doomed!" Peorth whimpered, shivering at the sight of the Glitch Rabbit.
-o-
It took some time because Skuld wanted to improve the hand grenade's destructive potential. Time that wound up destroying the various weapons that the Goddesses brought out.
Lind lost no less than 30 halberds. Belldandy lost 20 staffs. Peorth lost 50 rosewhips. Urd watched the Glitch Rabbit eat any potion she threw at it.
Eventually, Keiichi came out with a sheet of paper and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. He said, "Got it! Who wants to read the words?"
Urd snatched them both, saying, "Older sister Priorities!"
After reading the paper, she asked, "Really? This?"
Keiichi looked at the Glitch rabbit and then Urd. "You wanna argue with that about four meters away from the temple?"
"Touche," Urd replied before holding up the Grenade. "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
She then handed the Grenade to Keiichi, who pulled the pin out and said, "One… Two… Five…"
"Three!" Skuld yelled as the other goddesses put up Magic shields.
"Three!" Keiichi yelled before throwing the Grenade and diving behind Belldandy's shield.
Some holy chanting came out of nowhere as the Holy hand Grenade landed near the Glitch bunny and exploded, destroying the Glitch Rabbit of Caerbannog.
However, the 'explosion' was so small and pathetic that none of the goddesses thought the shields were needed.
"What was that? There was no Hand Grenade boom!" Skuld exclaimed.
"Yeah. Skuld;s made bigger booms by accident when she tried to fix the toaster," Urd spat.
Keiichi looked annoyed as he said, "Well, it was a flashbang grenade I got from the Auto Club as a gift. You really think I'd be able to get a hand grenade in Japan, especially when a flashbang was a headache to get?"

Notes from HotelKatz - The Monty Python bit was a rewrite from the Goddess Relief Office Forums.
I believe Worldbringer of Joseun did a few additional bits there that were pretty funny.
