With the Lord or Terror gone, Belldandy restores their
temple residence from the piles of rubble. She then
returns the seal on her power since she is much too
powerful unsealed. Skuld offers to repair Keiichi's
bike since she was responsible for its destruction.
He accepts the offer and soon Skuld is wheeling the
like-new bike out, complete with upgrades. Megumi, who
stopped by for a visit, checks out the new bike but
sees flaws. Skuld is offended and immediately considers
Megumi a rival.
A
test ride by Keiichi proves Megumi right. Skuld whips
out a Skuld Bomb, but is stopped when Belldandy takes
it from her. Belldandy suggests they need a venue in
order to compete properly. As if on cue, Tamiya and
Otaki show up with just the thing in mind - a Robot
War at Nekomi Tech. Megumi and Skuld would each build
a robot for the competition. The goal would be to collect
the most barrels but the robots could attack each other.
Tamiya graciously offers to supply the materials for
the robots - a large junkyard!
As
the competition approaches, the Nekomi Tech campus divides
into two camps, one for each of the contestants. The
groups vocally shout their support for their girl -
Megumi or Skuld. Behind the scenes, Tamiya and Otaki
laid down odds on the girls helping to fuel the fires
on campus.
The
day of the contest arrives and the girls unveil their
robots. Skuld's is named Hysteric Wheel Number One
and spins like a top. Megumi's is named Pot-Shaker
Dragon and looks like a large, modified forklift
designed to grab barrels. As battle begins, Skuld's
robot spins rapidly and begins destroying barrels. Megumi
uses the barrel capturing device on her robot to capture
Hysteric Wheel Number One. Tamiya is about to declare
Megumi the winner, so Skuld activates the self-destruct
on her robot, destroying both. The contest is determined
to be a draw, but since Tamiya spent all of the betting
money, the crowds drag him off for retribution.
Belldandy
urges Skuld to shake hands with Megumi in friendship.
After some pleasantries, Skuld shakes Megumi's hand,
activates a buzzer which delivers a powerful shock to
Megumi before taking off.
