Nihao!

	I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get the third part out. But 
there wasn't really any C&C on the last one, so I assumed that no one 
was really reading it. I was wrong. If nothing else, one of my friends 
was, and she told me point blank, that if it didn't finish it she would 
remove some much-needed anatomy. This release of the last parts will be 
kind of stop and go as I'm right in the middle of finals week at UNR. 
Please, C&C is really wanted. I know I make mistakes, and I love to hear 
what you have to say.

Chapter One.

	"Tsunami," Skuld repeated, "What are you doing here?"
	
Tsunami, the physical manifestation of Jurai's most powerful battleship 
and the future image of Sasami, fell to her knees trembling. "Lady 
Skuld, I�" she started.
	
Nene nudged the goddess with her elbow, "Do you knows these two?" she 
asked.
	
Skuld, her eyes never leaving Tsunami, said, "I don't know the girl, but 
I do know her," she said pointing at the still knelling Tsunami. Her 
face grew stern; "I'll ask you this one last time, what are you doing 
here Tsunami?"

Trembling, Tsunami rose to her feet, "Lady Skuld, I may not."
	
Skuld spoke a few sharp words in a language that Washu had never heard, 
which in its self was pretty impressive. Tsunami froze, staring strait 
ahead like a computer awaiting instructions.
	

"Now," said Skuld, "Why are you here?"
	
"I have been assigned to protect the Masaki line," Tsunami said in 
monotone.
	
"Why?" asked Skuld.
	
"That information is restricted," Tsunami said.
	"On who's authorization?" Skuld demanded.
	
"Authorization code Alpha Omega," came the reply.
	
"Father?" Skuld asked, "But why would He," she broke off as she felt a 
tugging on her uniform. Skuld turned to come face to face with Washu.
	
"Hi, my names Washu, but call me Washu-chan!" Washu said the last part 
in her ultra cute voice, "Could you tell me who the two of you are, what 
you're doing in my lab, and how you know Tsunami?"
	
"My name's Skuld, this is my friend Nene. I wish I knew how I got into 
your lab. And I know Tsunami 'cuse I created her."
	
Washu blinked a few times, "You created Tsunami?" she asked.
	
Skuld nodded, "Uh huh."
	
Washu was feeling just a bit confused, "Excuse me, but Tsunami is a 
tree."
	
"Well of course she is." Skuld said.
	
Nene on the other had, was feeling extremely confused, "Skuld?" she 
said.
	
"Yes Nene?" Skuld answered.
	
"What in the world are you talking about?"
	
"An excellent question," Washu said.
	
"Well you see Nene, a lot of the older gods and goddesses were having 
problems using Yggdrasil. They were use to the old system with the well. 
Father asked me to come up with something to interface with Yggdrasil 
that anyone could use easily."
	
"Kind of like a cosmic Windows 2032?" Nene asked.
	
"No way!" Skuld said hotly, "Mine's much better that Bill Gate's," she 
paused, "He's still alive?"
	
Nene nodded glumly, "He's the only one would can give Quincy a run for 
his money."
	
"Well in any case," Skuld said continuing, "Tsunami is an offshoot of 
the original Yggdrasill. I had just moved her to her own unit when 
Father told me that she had some bugs and had gotten rid of her."
	
"I thought Yggdrasil was a computer," Nene said remembering the giant 
computer she had seen.
	
Before Skuld could answer, Washu did.
	
"Yggdrasill is the world tree. It's a Norse myth about a tree that held 
up the nine worlds. It was tended by the three Norns, Urd, Verdandi, and 
Skuld. The goddesses of the past, present, and future," she explained.
	
"We are not myths!" Skuld exploded, "And it's Belldandy, not Verdandi! 
Jeez, just because Voluspa goofed that one time," she started to mutter 
to herself.
	
Washu just raised an eyebrow at the muttering goddess and turned to 
Nene, "So you're the Norns?" she asked.
	
"Nope. Skuld's a Norn," Nene said.
	
"I see, and you are then?"
	
"Goddess of the Internet," Nene replied, then she remembered something, 
"Uh Skuld?"
	
Skuld broke off in mid-rant and looked at the newest goddess, "Yes?"
	
"Do you think you could unfreeze her?" Nene asked, jerking her head at 
the still frozen Tsunami.
	
Skuld rubbed the back of her head, "Oh yeah, I forgot," she said 
sheepishly. Tsunami unfroze, Washu just rolled her eyes.
	
"Lady Skuld, may I ask what you're doing here?" Tsunami asked.
	
"We're going on a shopping trip to MegaTokyo. Only we were supposed to 
end up at Yggdrasil."
	
Washu's eyes lit up, "A shopping trip? Can I tag along?" she asked.
	
Skuld looked doubtful, "I don't know if you should�."
	
Nene however, had other ideas, "Sure! Let's all go, and on the way you 
can tell me about your lab, it looks awesome."
	Skuld grinned, "You know, that's a good idea," she said.
	
Washu grinned back, "Deal, but only if you two tell me about Yggdrasil."
	
Chatting excitedly, the three vanished into one of the monitors.
	
Tsunami watched them leave with a smile, then she stood there for a few 
minutes and finally said, "Yes Lord, they're on their way." Then she too 
disappeared.

					***************
	
	A month after Nene died the Knight Sabers, Mackie, and Leon gathered in 
her apartment to pack and clean. A week after Nene had disappeared; the 
AD Police had launched a massive search for her. A week of no leads what 
so ever had prompted Leon to confront Priss in her trailer.
				
					*******************
	"Priss, I need your help," Leon said.
	
	Priss had been battling depression ever since Nene's death. The pain 
was much worse that when Sylive had died.

	Priss choked back a sob, "Leon I'm not in the mood for any games."

	"Damn it Priss, I don't care about that right now," Leon said angrily, 
"Look, I know you're one of the Knight Sabers. I need your help. One of 
the ADP's operators has gone missing. I want to hire the Knight Sabers 
to find Nene Romanova."

	Tears started to fill Priss's eyes, "Nene, Nene is�"
	
	"Nene is dead Inspector McNichol," said a cool voice from behind Leon.

	Leon turned to face the smartly dressed lady, "And how do you know 
Miss�.?" he asked.

	"Sylia Stingray," Sylia said taking off her sunglasses and moving to 
comfort Priss. "I don't know how you know, but as you know about Priss, 
you might as well know the truth. Nene was a Knight Saber. She was 
killed in battle two weeks ago. She was killed by a boomer while, " 
Sylia paused and made an obvious effort to get control of herself, 
"While defending me," she finished.

	Leon hung his head, "I'm sorry, " he said at last, "More sorry than you 
could know. You've lost a friend, and the ADP has lost another 
unreplaceable officer. I'm not sure you're aware of this, but Nene was 
very popular at the ADP."

	Sylia nodded, "Thank you Inspector. We've all lost a friend. I have a 
favor to ask of you," she said.
	"What is it?" Leon asked.
	
	"For obvious reasons, I cannot give you Nene's body. Nor can I have you 
telling everyone what really happened to her. I ask that she be listed 
as missing," Sylia said.

	Leon nodded, "In another week the search will be called off, and her 
case listed as unsolved," he said.

	"Thank you again Inspector. Now if you will excuse us, I need to look 
after Priss," Sylia said.

	Leon understood, he had seen this type of depression many times as a 
front line officer. One friend would be killed, and another is needed. 
He himself had desperately needed a friend when Jeena died. He turned to 
leave.

	"Wait!" Priss half cried.
	
	Leon turned back.
	
	"I need you Leon, as a friend," Priss said as she started to cry.

	Leon gently enfolded her in his arms, "And I'm here, as a friend."

	Neither one saw Sylia's small smile.

					*********************

	"I can't believe she's gone. I just can't," Linna said.

	Mackie nodded in agreement. He had not slept much after Nene died and 
had dark circles under his eyes.

	"I guess we should get started," Leon said with a sigh.

	Mackie walked over the Nene's computer and flipped it on. He brought up 
her journal and read the last entry. The last paragraph brought tears to 
his eyes.

	'I'm beginning to wonder if Mackie doesn't like me, or if he's just 
slow. I've only dropped about a million hints. Maybe tomorrow I'll ask 
Sylia for help. If anyone can make Mackie understand, she can. Or, I 
could always do what Priss suggested and ask him out myself.'

	"I'm so sorry Nene-chan. I never knew. I really did like you and was 
thinking about asking you out. I wish you were here now so I could tell 
you that," he whispered to himself.
	The screen blanked, then a sentence appeared, 'Wish granted my son,' it 
read.

	"What?" Mackie asked puzzled.

	Suddenly, a blinding white light poured from the screen. Mackie tripped 
over the chair and backed up to the others who were gathering around the 
computer.

	"What the hell is going on?" Priss demanded.

	Nene, Skuld, and Washu popped out of the screen.

	"Here we are, home sweet home. Welcome to MegaTok�.," Nene noticed the 
rest of them. "Uh, hi guys, what are you all doing here?" Nene asked.

	Sylia was the first one to recover her voice, "Nene? Is that really 
you?" she asked shakily.

	"Well, yeah," Nene said.

	"But, but you died. I saw the boomer kill you," Linna said.

	"Well I got better," Nene tried lamely.

	"What do you mean got better?" Priss yelled, "Shit Nene, it's been 
three weeks!"

	"Three weeks?!" Nene exclaimed. She spun to face Skuld, "I thought you 
said we would arrive three hours after the attack," she said.

	"Well we got pulled off course, and then we picked up another passenger 
remember?" Skuld said defensively.

	"Will you tell me what in God's name happened to you?" Sylia said with 
some heat.

	"Funny you should put it that way Sylia," Nene said.

	"What do you mean?" Sylia asked.

	Washu, who had been watching the exchange with thinly veiled amusement, 
spoke up, "It's very easy," she explained. "Nene is the goddess of the 
Internet."

	"NANI?!" The Knight Sabers, Mackie, and Leon exclaimed.
	"I think we all better sir down and I'll explain," Nene said.

	"Good idea," Leon said dryly.

	(A SD boomer wanders by saying "This and that, and that and this, and 
that's what happened.")

"So you died, God made you a goddess, and for the past six months you've 
been training with three other goddesses in 1997?" Linna asked 
incredulously.

	"That about sums it up," Skuld said, "Nene has been living with me and 
my two sisters."

	"I just don't believe it," Linna said shaking her head, "Could you do 
something?" she asked.

	"Well I don't know all that many spells�." Nene said.

	Linna looked a bit disappointed. Skuld leaned over and whispered 
something into Nene's ear.

	"That would work," Nene said thankfully to Skuld. "How's this?" Nene 
said and started to concentrate. Nene's clothes glowed an incandescent 
white, they started to shift and reform. Whereas before Nene was wearing 
a skirt and sweatshirt, now she was clad in her hardsuit.

	"But that suit was destroyed," Sylia said.

	"Belldandy was training me to call up my uniform. She told me to let it 
flow and come naturally, the next thing I knew, I was in my hardsuit." 
Then Nene remembered that Leon was still in the room. "I, uh, Oh no! 
Sylia I'm so sorry!" The young goddess wailed hanging her head.

	"Whatever for?" Sylia asked puzzled.

	"I just blew it," Nene said.

	Sylia caught on; she smiled at Nene, "Don't worry. Leon already knows," 
she said.

	"He does?"

	"Yes he does."

	"How did you�?" Nene asked.
	"It's a long story, I'll tell you later, " Leon said.

	"Oh, OK then," Nene said, and shifted back into her street clothes.

	Mackie, who had been working up his courage, got up and went to where 
Nene was sitting.

	"Nene I," he stopped and started to blush, "I read your last entry just 
before you showed up. And well, I started to wish that you where here so 
I could ask you something," he stammered.

	"My last entry?" Nene said, then she remembered, "Oh!" She too started 
to blush.

	"How long do you think it will take him to ask her?" Priss said to 
Linna.

	"I'm betting on 15 minutes, " Linna said.

	"That sounds about right," Priss agreed.

	By this point, Nene was as red as her hair.

	"Well, " Mackie continued, "A line appeared saying something like 'wish 
granted my son'. The you appeared, and, well, I, uh."

	"It seems that he's lost all ability to say anything but one syllable 
words," Washu noted. 

	Mackie took a deep breath, "Nene, what I'm trying to say is, I really 
like you�"

	"Like?" his sister protested gently.

	"Alright love," Mackie said, "And I was wondering, do you want to go 
out sometime, maybe?"

	"Well, I, uh," Nene stammered.

	"Now she seems to be doing it," Washu said.

	"Maybe it's catching," Linna said to her.

"This is getting embarrassing, " Leon said, "Nene Romanova, a-ten-hut!"

Nene, who had been stammering out some more one-syllable words, jumped 
to her feet and snapped to attention. "Nene Romanova reporting sir!" she 
said.

	"Good," Leon said, still doing a great drill sergeant impersonation. 
"Now I want you to turn to the young man and tell him you'll go out with 
him. Am I making myself clear Romanova?"

	"Yes sir!" Nene turned to Mackie, "I will�.. Leon!!!"

	"I was wondering if that would work," Leon said grinning.

	Nene shot him a dirty look, then turned back to Mackie, "I would love 
to go out with you, " she said.

	"Ah young love, it's so much fun to experiment on," Washu commented, 
"So when do we go shopping?"

	"Tomorrow," Nene said, "Mackie and I have some things we need to, uh, 
talk about," she finished.

	"Now don't keep him up all night Nene. Remember, he's still a young 
boy," Priss said, then she grinned evilly, "But not for long, eh Nene?"

	"Priss!!" Nene complained.

	The rest laughed at the still bushing couple.

	Skuld sat shaking her head, "First it was Belldandy and Keiichi, and 
Nene and Mackie. What is it with mortals?" Then she remembered 
something, "Wait a minute Mackie, someone wrote 'wish granted my son' on 
the computer?" she asked.

	"Yeah, I thought it was one of you," Mackie said.

	"Nene, can I use your phone?" Skuld asked.

	"Sure, it's over there," Nene said pointing.

	Skuld quickly dialed a number, the others heard her say, "Lord did you 
interfere?� But why?� Father I can� Well we're on just going shopping 
and sightseeing� You want what?� Yes Father." Then she hung up.

	"Well what did He say?" Nene asked.

	"He said He was the one who pulled us three weeks into the future, and 
that he wanted a snow globe with Genom Tower in it," Skuld said.

	"Why would He want that?" Nene asked.

	"Who knows? My Father moves in mysterious ways," Skuld said.

	"Well we'll pick it up tomorrow shopping," Washu said, "Now I think we 
better leave, these two have much to, uh, talk about." She grinned at 
Nene and Mackie.

	"Why do I have a feeling I'm never going to hear the end of this?" Nene 
asked no one in particular.

	"If you think it's bad now, just wait until Urd hears about it," Skuld 
said.

	Nene blanched, "Maybe I'll never leave my apartment for the rest of my 
life."

End chapter one.

Notes:
	I think there will be maybe two more chapters in part three. And yes, 
this is the last part, and I will explain why I drug Quincy and Mason 
into this next time. Some notes on a few details. Yggdrasil is the 
computer system, don't ask me why, but this is the way it is spelled in 
my copy of the AMG manga that mentions it. Yggdrasill is the correct 
spelling of the world tree. So that extra l is there for a reason. 
	Voluspa, for those not up on their Norse mythology, was a goddess who 
knew what had happened, and what will happen. She tells the story from 
the creation of the gods, to the final battle.
	The well that was mentioned was the Well of Urd. It's a body of water, 
more like a pool, that the three Norns sit around and decide men's 
fates. It's from this well that they also draw water to tend to 
Yggdrasill, and why the tree is so white. It's been said that this might 
have been the pool that Belldandy was standing on in the first tape.
	Please send me C&C!!!!!!!!

Ja,
JG
