Ad Nausea...

Fred Takahashi

“Besides that, I came from a Alternate Earths--an area of it anyway-- which on something of a dragon problem...” I begin, giving a water downed version of my biography.

Yes, the whole knight trained to go out and slay rogue dragons for the honor and glory and all that rot. You’ve seen my tale enough in all the other Fred analogs get a basic feel for my character. Know that in a bout of insanity I slew my own sister (even IF I’d been “set up” to do it by that Trollish Author, my his soul burn in Hell for that) I was cursed with immortality. Got teleported (somehow) to an Earth that would eventually be known as the “Neon Genesis Evangelion” Earth. Angel War and all that? I know you know it. Ad nausea, I'm sure...

You probably even remember that I’d eventually fallen in with the JSDF (not the JSSDF, those fascist bastards). Even the part where I attempted to help the war effort by helping the First Child...

. . .

My God, while I knew that something had been up with Rei when we first met face to face in the flesh (classic case of Schizoid Personality Disorder (Cluster A) if there ever had been one) I never dreamed that it was so dark and twisted. That Gendo Akari had been one unforgivable bastard and then some!

I must admit, also, I never thought that my attempts--as round about and convoluted as they’d been to avoid tipping a hand towards one of the MOST powerful man in the world I had thought had been . . .a child toucher- -would have led to Rei going about and falling for me like she’d done. I mean I remember (GOD I remember) how she’d attempted that one time early on to “thank me”....

Damnit, no matter how things had gone to Hell in a handbag I was NOT going to take the sexual offerings of a young woman who had YET to learn so much about . . .interpersonal relationships.

Heh. Joke was on me in the end. Look where I am now? Married. Well, she’s older now and has VERY much blossomed and grown since then... Yes, she’s a much more rounded person now.

And definitely after all she’s gone through I dare say that the Scoobies (especially the younger members of the crowd) rightly find me--a former dragonslayer turned psychiatrist turned soldier-- MUCH more ordinary compared to my companions

Frankly, I consider my wife, her sisters (former giant robot pilots ALA Japanese anime/manga turned magic users), and the rest of my travel companions (a “magic girl” and “magic boy” from Japanese anime/manga) here MUCH more exotic than myself. With that done it and out of the way, we’re finally en route to our distination: the Hellmouth entrance which can be accessed via the high school library. Seems almost obligatory that SOMETHING should interrupt as we are going out the door and prepare to make our various ways to the highschool...

“Flag of truce?” a rather large man (in disturbingly familiar power armor) shouts our way, waving a white flag made from a bed sheet gathered from somewhere.

If nothing else I’ve got to just say for the record that this jerk who’d been causing so much collateral damage last time we met him while he’d been slugging it out with that Iron Monger character sure is a handsom cuss!

1. Can tell that since he’s also got his helmet off and face for the world to see...
