"I've known this was coming for a long time," Skuld explained. "Not just you, but all the people that have been turned into Sailor Senshi."
"Did anyone else know?" Keiichi asked, somewhat amazed at how calmly she was taking this. Maybe it was something else she'd gotten from Belldandy.
"Kami-sama of course, and a few other gods," the Norn of the Future replied. "But we were all sworn to absolute secrecy. If Hell had learned that so many Senshi were going to be created, they would have just destroyed Earth rather then let it happen."
Keiichi couldn't help but gasp at the implications in that statement. "They fear us that much?" she asked.
It was Urd who answered. "Over the tens of thousands of years that Senshi have existed Keiichi, there have been many with the firepower to take on level two, even level one demons. In many ways, you are perhaps the closest the mortal world has come to creating a goddess. Heck, you aren't even really mortal anymore." She smirked. "You and Bell could be together forever this way, although I didn't think Bell would ever swing that way."
Keichii and Bell both blushed a little, but managed to stay on topic. "How many Senshi are there now?" the new Senshi asked.
"No idea," Skuld replied. "At least ten thousand, maybe a lot more. And their power level ranges from relatively small to the equivilent of a level two Goddess. You." She ignored Keiichi's surprised reaction and pressed on. "It's quite possible that your powers will increase in time, making you as powerful as a level one."
Keiichi was silent as she considered this. Bell however, pushed on a bit. "So that's why you tried to keep Keiichi and myself apart?" There was no anger in her voice, just curiosity.
Skuld nodded slightly, staring at the ground. "I didn't like Keiichi that much at first, but I knew that he'd transform. And you don't like girls like that -" at this point her blush nearly overtook her face - "so you'd only be hurt when this happened. I... I'm sorry."
Belldandy smiled as she walked over and hugged her sister, taking the younger goddess by surprise. "I know you were only doing what you thought was right," she said, "so there's nothing to forgive. Besides, I still love Keiichi, no matter what body she may have."
Keiichi looked up, a little surprised by Bells announcement. "Belldandy, are you sure about that? I mean, I'm a woman now..."
Bell simply nodded, a smile on her face. "I know that I'm willing to try... if you are," she finshed, a slightly worried look in her eyes.
Sailor Heaven smiled, taking her lover's hand. "Well, it can't hurt to try..."
