Urd and Skuld stood at the temple gate, waving to Belldandy and Keiichi as they rode away together. Skuld dropped something while she waved to them. It rolled up against Urd's feet.

Urd stopped waving, and sighed. "Well, it looks like another quiet day— eh?" She looked down at the ground. "Skuld? You dropped one of your Skuld Bombs."

She kneeled down, picked it up, and began to hand it to Skuld. "Here you—" CLICK!!

Urd and Skuld sweat-dropped.

"How long is the fuse on this thing?" Urd gasped.

"Ten seconds," Skuld said. "But—"

Urd frantically looked around her. Spying a manhole, she kicked its cover open in place, threw the bomb into it, and kicked it closed again.

Skuld shrieked. "URD!! I could have defused it!! And— that's NOT a water line!! That's a SEWER LINE!!"

The bomb detonated. A massive fiery explosion blew the manhole cover sky-high, and badly singed a stunned Urd.

Urd sighed. "At least it's over with now— HEY!! Why are you running away!?"

"INCOMING!!" Skuld shouted. "You blew out at least half a dozen manhole covers!! Do you know where all of them will land!?"

Urd looked directly above her. "Aw, man," she groaned.
