All major characters (c) 1996 Kosuke Fujishima, meaning Urd, Skuld, Belldandy and K1 are not mine, just the situations they are thrown in.

A/N: This is my first shot at an AMG related fic. Although the story line follows fairly closely to the manga at the beginning, that is all that will be related to it.

Further notes that should be noted are that if you HAVE NOT read the manga past volume 19, you should NOT read this story, as it is a tangent off a major plot line in volumes 19 and 20, but involve different situations that didn't happen in the manga.

Happiness' End

Prologue

Sora Hasegawa, new candidate for the NIT:MCC director position, could only watch in utter amazement and fear at the scene before her.

Keiichi, under the influence of Urd's 'Guts Booster' was driving along the sloping wall that surrounded the campus, not even aware of the obvious danger that it presented.

It was at the upcoming turn that her fear was realized. She easily saw the block of concrete on the wall sticking out about a good two inches as it drew nearer to the bottom, a result of the tree roots that grew out instead of down. She watched as her Morisato-sempai drove straight to it, not paying any attention to his current situation, until the dreaded moment arrived.

The right side tire connected with the protruding block and sent Keiichi in a dead spin right in front of her, his head falling straight for the concrete path they were traveling. Belldandy, too, was watching the entire race in her size reduced ward state and quickly cast one of her many wind spells, fearing Keiichi's safety and life were at risk.

As a result, the burst of wind knocked Keiichi out of the roll, but he still was headed for the ground head first. A few seconds later, a sickening crack could be heard as the upper side of his head connected slightly with the edge of the concrete, while the rest hit the soft dirt and grass around it. After that, the tumble continued down the slope to a waiting trash heap that was at the bottom, surrounded by several metal gates.

From the initial shock and blow, Keiichi had lost a little grip and was tossed around quite a large amount, but he had also lost footing on his mini racing board andhis legs were now dangling over the side. The final ascent and crash, which involved the board landing heavily on Keiichi's right leg, caused a break of the bone slightly above Keiichi's ankle.

Hasegawa was amazed to see him climb back to his feet, still under the influence of Urd's medicine, but watched in horror as he slowly collapsed face first in the ground beside the vehicle he was racing.

Only one thing raced through her mind at the time: Get help, now. As she pulled away, the mirror attached to the lightpost just above the disposal area flashed, and a fully grown Belldandy appeared, immediately running to the prone form of Keiichi on the ground.

She quickly examined him and could find two major injuries that scared her. One, the obviously large crack and gash on the upper side of his head, the other was the broken leg. She quickly cast a spell and healed his leg before anyone arrived, since no one was sure if it had happened. However, that was all she could do, or it would become very suspicious that he fully recovered with no one but Belldandy around him.

As the thought of not being able to help Keiichi in his time of need and great pain entered her mind, she began to weep. She was unsure of what to do, but she knew that she didn't like this feeling of hopelessness.

About a minute after Belldandy began to cry, several people from the motor club could be seen running towards them, along with Urd and Skuld. As they arrived, they noticed the scene, which wasn't a good one. Keiichi lay on the ground with a good size gash on his head that was even visible through his black hair, and blood poured from the wound. Next, was the physical appearance of Keiichi. He looked battered and bruised from the long tumble from the top of the hill from which they were racing to the bottom.

Keiichi's condition and appearance made a decent amount of people feel depressed as it was, but Belldandy crying over him completed the scene of utter despair.

Some four or five minutes later, sirens could be heard in the background, signaling the arrival of the ambulance. When it arrived, the medical team quickly scanned the victim and gave commands to each other to prepare the victim for transportation. As Keiichi was loaded into the ambulance, people could only watch with a look of pain and sadness, while Belldandy was crying into Urd's shoulder.

She cried for two reasons, and two alone. The first, she had been unable to save Keiichi from the pain he experienced. The second, she wasn't there in his time of need, and that deeply hurt her. She'd always been there for him, and the one time she wasn't, something terrible had happened.

"I'm sorry Keiichi-san," she whispered quietly in between sobs.

As the vehicle took off out of sight, the remaining auto club members along with her sisters were trying to comfort Belldandy, while a great deal of the students who had heard or seen the entire incident looked on in mourning and pity.
