Seraphim�s Judgment
Part 5:
Of Teknos and Men

A Crossover between Teknoman and
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Written by Christan Clark


	In one of the residential districts of Tokyo-2, several families had 
heard of the general alert going on at Tokyo-3. Some paid it no heed at 
all, a few felt concerned for their fellow man living underneath the 
angel's eye. 

	In one of the fewer larger homes, in what used to be called the Nerima 
district, a single member of one of the families was packing. Nodoka 
Saotome, also known as Teknos Katana, was packing to leave for a while. 

	"Okaa-san. Are you sure you really want to do this? I mean, there�s 
really no need for you to leave." A thirty-two year old Ranma Saotome 
said to his mother, while being watched by eight year old son Takaya. 

	"Ranma, I heard from an old friend from the south that she requires my 
assistance. I have never before left a friend in need alone and I do not 
intend to start now." Nodoka said while packing the last few articles of 
clothing she needed into the back pack.

	She smiled, the lines on her face starting to show her age, "Besides, I 
always had a small part of me that wanted to go with you when Genma took 
you at six. I also hear that some of the sunsets are quite beautiful in 
the mountains."

	Ranma sighed in resignation and walked up to his mother, and embraced 
her. "Ok, just make sure and take care. I don�t know what I�d do if..." 
he was silenced as Nodoka interrupted him. 

	"Oh Ranma, just cause I�m starting to get old doesn�t mean I can�t take 
care of myself. And besides..." she whipped out her infamous katana out 
of nowhere and swung it in front of her son�s face. Just barely missing 
the few hairs that preceded his face. "...your old mother isn�t as old 
as she seems." She ended with a mischievous smile.

Takaya stared in awe and shock at what just happened, while Ranma simply 
stood looking bored. Being of half Teknos blood, Ranma mind-spoke to his 
mother.

	<Okaa-san. MUST you do that? Who knows what ideas Takaya might get?>

	<All the better, they�d make great students for the Saotome Ryuu. Why 
don�t you start training your sons and daughter? Scared they might turn 
out the same way you did?>

	<What? Of course not! It�s just that... the Second Impact and all. Not 
only that, I keep hearing from some of those psychos that a third is 
imminent.>

	<Is that so? Well, how odd that the visit to my friend is what�s also 
going to prevent this so called Third Impact.>

	<Okaa-san! You can�t be serious. If there are big people behind this 
whole thing like you told me. How can you hope to...>

	<Easy.> Nodoka�s son glanced to her empty hand where her sapphire 
teknocrystal suddenly appeared, then vanished again. <And I won�t be 
alone. I got help.>

	<Something tells me I don�t want to know.> Ranma said turning back and 
getting his son. Who was still in awe of the expert display of sword 
handling skills.

	<Don�t worry about it. You have a family to worry about now, so don�t 
waste your time worrying about me. Besides, you still don�t have your 
teknocrystal yet.> She poked. 

	Ranma had matured a lot over the years. Maybe a bit too much. <Well, 
maybe he�ll grow up again, and much more than the other time.> Nodoka 
smiled to herself. 

She carried the pack to the ground where she met her daughter in-law, 
Akane Tendou. Also known as Teknos Kanazuchi. She was talking with her 
eleven year old daughter and other eight year old son.

	"Oh. Nodoka-san. If I may ask, where are you going?" Akane asked, 
turning her attention to Nodoka as her children followed suit. 

	"Going south for a while. I�ll be back in a short while. Not too long." 
She replied simply. She then felt both her legs being held through the 
kimono. She looked down to see both Shinya and Miyuki were holding on.

	"Oba-chan. Please come back soon." Miyuki said with evident worry. 
Nodoka smiled, knelt down, hugged both of her grandchildren, and kissed 
both of their heads.

	"Don�y worry about me. Just make sure and take care of your mother and 
father. Ok?"

	"Hai!" They both chorused in unison. 

*************************************************

	Turning around, she took a final look at her home. True, she was going 
to miss everyone, but the thought of going out into the world again. Out 
to where man once ruled, but now nature was more prevailent. Her 
thoughts were interrupted as she felt something large and furry embrace 
her from behind.
She sighed in exasperation and tore herself from the paws of a giant 
panda. 

	"Genma, I�ve made up my mind. You�re not going to stop me from 
leaving!" She growled in irritation to her husband. In response, the 
pand tried to look cute and hold up a sign that said,

	"But how would I live without..." the sign was slashed in two before he 
could finish it. Nodoka then held the sword blade upward and growled 
even more.

	"Just be thankful I forgave you for ruining ten years of our son�s 
life! Now if you would just stop hiding as a panda and take it LIKE a 
man, I would be able to completely forgive you!" 

	Genma had somehow been able to grab a hold of some hot water and change 
back. "Despite what you may think, I AM a real man!"

	Nodoka casually moved the tip of the blade underneath his chin and 
countered, "A real man wouldn�t betray the trust of friends and steal. A 
REAL man wouldn�t sell his son for food! A REAL man wouldn�t resort to 
lies and petty theft! A REAL man would keep a vow for freeing him from 
his master�s hold over him." she raised the blade high and screamed, " 
AND A REAL MAN WOULDN�T LIE NOR HIDE FROM HIS WIFE!!!"

	That sent Genma into a fit of pitiful crying as she pointed back to the 
house with a stern face. Very much like a parent who was grounding a 
child to it�s room. As he went through the gate, Nodoka couldn�t help 
but smirk. True, it was kind of mean using that old vow over his head... 
but it did have it�s moments. 

	Later, on top of one of the higher mountains, she took another look at 
Tokyo-2 as the sun set. It was certainly beautiful. What made it even 
more wonderful for her was that her family was there. Even Genma. That 
was the reason for this trip. If what the angel Seraphim had said was 
true, her family was in danger. She was NOT going to let her family get 
hurt. 

	A aura of blue light slowly engulfed her body. The light she was 
engulfed in suddenly flew upwards and away from Tokyo-2. To where she 
was needed most. The battle ground for the survival of the human race. 

	Tokyo-3.

That's all that's done so far. There's more to come.

You know the same reply to "What's the Ranma cast doing there" is gonna 
be. So, if you read any of the earlier chapters, you know where to find 
them.

And in conclusion, the utlimate question.

What do you think?
