A boy meets his destiny...
******
"You released the cards, you're the cardcaptor."
"But...I can't...this was my father's book. It's a copy of the Dead Sea
Scrolls."
"Well...just between you and me, the scrolls at the museum are the copy.
This book was the original."
******
His friends guide the way...
******
The neophyte cardcaptor looked on in worried silence as his best friend
examined his newest friend.
"WOW! This sex doll's a real DOLL, if you know what I mean! C'mon, you
can tell me: this is really your father's, right?"
The lifelike plastic figure poked its investigator in the nose. "Hey!
Don't talk about me like I'm not here!"
"You can talk?"
"Of course I can talk. I wouldn't be much of a Guardian otherwise."
******
Even some of his rivals will help...
******
With the Thunder card sealed away, the boy finally took time to notice
his savior's getup. The green and yellow robes clashed with her blue
hair.
"..."
"Err, thanks? Umm, listen, I..."
"you're supposed to be the cardcaptor?"
"Well, yes."
"you're pathetic"
******
...but others won't.
******
The boy gulped nervously as his assailant hoisted him into the air by
his neck. "You have five seconds to explain what you are doing wearing
my fiancee's shirt."
"Your fiancee?"
"That's right."
"But you're both girls."
He did not think it was possible for her to get angrier. As he was
about to learn, "angry" was a relative term, and until that moment the
redhead had been at her normal level.
******
And in the end, even his own family is not free of agendas.
******
"Son."
"Father?"
"I have...a use for you."
"You abandoned me! This is the first time in ten years I've ever seen
you. Why should I do a thing you say?"
"The future of humanity is at stake. Go into the basement. There you
will find a book. Open it."
"Ok."
"And if you find the Instrumentality card, give it to me immediately,
Shinji."

Cardcaptors Evangelion
******
Shinji lay back on his bed, narrowly avoiding Misato, and trying not to
think of her as a human - one who rarely wore any clothes, even when
outside. He was extremely grateful that, when she travelled with him,
she agreed to deinflate and hide in his backpack. "So, only myself and
other children can use these cards?"
"That's right."
"So, why does my father want that Instrumentality card so bad? And
why'd he hire Rei to find it?"
******
An extremely unlikely production.
******
Shinji scraped the card off of Eva-01's foot and sighed. "They're
supposed to be the ultimate magic, right? So why's it so easy to
capture them?"
Rei's face stared at him from a video window. "because only the
cardcaptors can summon evas"
"But Asuka has her own Eva, and she's not a cardcaptor. Even my
friend..."
"the cardcaptors, and whomever they designate"
"Oh. I suppose that makes sense...kinda..."
******
Not coming soon from Winged Cat Studios.
******
Gendo walked up and looked at Rei. "It is time. This is the purpose
for which you were created."
Rei looked up from her seat. With a flick of her wrist, all the cards
she had captured were spread in her hand, backs to Gendo. "pick a card.
any card"
