Tokimi frowned as she tried to think of a new anomaly to create. Over the millennia it had become harder and harder to create new and stronger anomalies in her attempt to find the supreme deity. It was a good thing that Washu and Tsunami were pursuing alternate lines of research because their original plan was constantly becoming more and more frustrating. Perhaps she should try a concentric series of singularities and anti-singularities? No, she had done that anomaly 200,000 years ago in Dimension 64XC46400000 and had accidentally created the 'Eye of Terror' as the mortals called the collapsed result. What about a spiritual energy converter to allow mortals to tap into multidimensional energy and direct it? They did have wonderful imaginations after all and Washu's chosen people had the most imagination, creativity, and curiosity out of any mortals and would make the most use out of such an item. There was a reason why Washu's people could be found in all dimensions after all. Wait, she did that 50,000 years ago and the original trinket was currently possessed by the leader of a magical girl sentai team in Dimension NT7S1993.
A small groan came from the frustrated goddess tried to think of something new to do. The problem with being older than the universe is that after 15 billion years you start to repeat yourself even when you create plans that span millions of years. Tokimi was starting to consider that she should just create a 3 dimensional avatar, drop in on an Earth in a random dimension, and get thoroughly plastered. Okay, so the last time she did that she broke Vegas, caused New Orleans to flood (not that hard to do), and somehow ended up as the guest of honor at the Playboy Mansion. However, it wasn't like her sisters would ever find out about that!
Tokimi felt something odd coming from Dimension 001 and that caused her to stop blushing. This was the dimension her sisters inhabited in their lower dimensional forms. In less than a second, Tokimi locked onto the feeling and her consciousness focused in on the planet Earth. Her focus continued to refine itself until she was looking at a newborn baby that had just been born in a hospital in Japan. For a second the goddess wondered what had attracted her attention to the baby and then she scanned the child. A small gasp escaped her lips as she read the babe's DNA. He was a Yokai/Juraian hybrid? How could that be possible! Yosho was the only Juraian on Earth and he wasn't the child's father. Besides, the last Yokai died over 400 years so such a hybrid couldn't exist!
Wanting to get to the bottom of this delightfully unexpected mystery, Tokimi scanned the newborn's parents. She quickly noted the various dormant yokai and Juraian genes in both parents from the two groups interbreeding with the local humans. So the child was a hybrid because of atavism; a rather ordinary process with extraordinary results this time. The chances of such a thing happening were so remote as to be a freak occurrence. That interested Tokimi quite a lot because the yokai were her 'chosen' people as their power and adaptability intrigued her.
Although she felt and continued to feel that universal anomalies were the best way to find the supreme deity, Tokimi was willing to pursue other lines of research similar to her sisters from time to time. Since she was the Goddess of Change, the mutability of the yokai in their hundreds of different breeds had intrigued her enough to claim the natives of the now destroyed planet Makai. In an instant of curiosity, she had given the ancient yokai warships that rivaled the Tree Ships that Tsunami would later create. It had been quite interesting until the yokai's natural aggressiveness caused their empire to collapse over a hundred thousand years ago. Only a technologically regressed remnant managed to survive on Earth where they eventually drove themselves to extinction.
Tokimi quickly returned her thoughts to the present and considered what to do about the child. Simply ignoring him was not an option; he was too interesting and she was getting quite bored. She was debating whether she should just keep an eye on him or if she should intervene in his life since he was 'hers'. Leaving the boy alone would allow her to see how his natural progress would change him. Besides, Tsunami was the sister who thought bloodlines were the key to finding the supreme deity. But on the other hand, her interference could potentially bring back her chosen race and that had a serious tug at her heart.
Finally, Tokimi made up her mind and summoned her wings. She then brought her wings together and created the first Shadow Rider starship to exist in over 80,000 years. The starship was quite small, about the size of a shuttle, as it needed a few years to grow and mature so that it would become a demon hunting space. No one could deny that the ship would be a predator and that was the reason why the Shadows in another dimension made their battlecrab starships look like Tokimi's Shadow Riders when they caught a psychic glimpse of one. Tokimi willed the shadow rider into the Solar System's Oort cloud to grow and then set about creating a link between it and the newborn.
A frown appeared on Tokimi's face as she started encountering stiff resistance to the bonding process leaving her new creation partially bonded to the boy. How could this be? Tokimi's eyes instantly narrowed as one name came to her mind: Tsunami. The youngest Chousin instantly willed her consciousness to the starship Tsunami where her sister's consciousness was currently residing. Tokimi stormily called out, "Alright sister, what are you trying to do?"
Tsunami appeared in front of Tokimi in a concerned and frustrated state. "It's nice to see you again Tokimi, but I can't be distracted at the moment. I've recently found an interesting person and for some reason the tree for him will not bond properly."
"That is because I've already started bonding a Shadow Rider to him Sister." Tokimi said with a great deal of irritation. This whole situation was become a disaster. Mortals couldn't handle multiple simultaneous bonds and the bonding process couldn't be reversed once it started. Both sisters immediately frowned as they considered the situation. Something would have to be done to fix this snafu or the baby would soon die. Neither goddess wanted that to happen for different reasons.
Tsunami's eyes widened as a crazy idea popped into her head. It was completely unexpected and she had no idea if it could possibly work. However, it did seem suitable given the newborn's unique nature. "Tokimi, why don't we merge your shadow rider and my tree ship into a single vessel for the child?"
It was a radical idea and nearly through Tokimi for a loop. While merging two of their creations together was certainly possible, it had never been done before. All of the sisters could be quite petty when it came to their possessions. The idea of something sharing a connection between her and Tsunami burned at Tokimi. Her first reaction was that the tree ship Tsunami had created should be destroyed so that her shadow rider could properly form its link. But, she didn't want to lose the hybrid and Tsunami had just as much claim on him as she did. She also knew that Tsunami would never destroy one of her 'children'. With a frustrated grinding of teeth Tokimi said, "Alright sister let's merge the ships."
Both sisters thought for a second about what they should do to merge the vessels they had created and then nodded their heads in unison. Their presences shifted to outside the Tsunami with both of the newly created vessels positioned in front of its creator. Summoning the ships from their respective maturation points was easy for them. Tokimi and Tsunami both summoned five light hawk wings. Both sets of wings pushed the two first generation ships together and then enclosed them in a sphere of power. Twitches appeared on both goddesses faces as the each poured more power into the sphere in an attempt to one up the other and have their original vessel take precedence in this new creation.
After a minute, the energy sphere cracked like an egg causing both goddesses to gasp in surprise. The new vessel had the basic hull design of a Jurian ship. However, it was completely covered in the shadow black armor of a shadow rider. The ship, or rather the Yashataisho as the goddesses heard the ship name give its name, was still small for the moment. That would soon change as it was already starting to grow. Yashataisho started flying to the Kuiper Belt to await its full maturation leaving the goddesses silent in its wake. Both of them could feel the ship's potential and knew that one day Yashataisho would be a powerful and chaotic steed for its partner to shake things up in the galaxy.
