(Author's note: L.Shido is short for Lord Shido)
Tenka pov
Tenka: You're afraid, aren't you.
L.Shido: What makes you think that?
Tenka: You sent me do deal with the troublesome versions of you from another timeline. Either to help the one with potential or eliminate the one who might poses as threat to you. You want to wipe all versions of yourself that could threaten your power and from my perspective that what's a cowards do.
L.Shido: That what's rulers do. They eliminate the threats and create peace.
Tenka: Now that's something because according to what I know peace is a lie and there's only passion.
L.Shido: What are you trying to say?
Tenka: Through passion, you gain strength. Through strength, you gain power. Through power, you gain victory.
L.Shido: That was a great philosophy.
Tenka: However, you should never let fear takeover yourself because fear is a path to the dark side...fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering.
L.Shido: You don't get to judge me. You don't understand how difficult it is for me considering the enemy is myself, simply from another timeline.
Tenka: Okay, you're the boss. By the way, there's something I want to ask. I've been meaning to ask you this for along time but never got a chance. How exactly did you create me? I mean like turn me into a completely different being and not to mention the power.
He stares at me for a moment before sitting back on his throne and starts pressing buttons on the armrest
A hologram pops out of knowhere picturing shido himself but with slightly older look than normal...this one got a mustaches
L.Shido: Ages ago...before all this stuff. A version of myself live in the 31st century...he was a scientist. He somehow able to find way to prove that multiverse theory was indeed real. Through the use of advance technology he was able to finds what it need to travel through dimensions and yes without using spirit powers...
Tenka: Let me guess. He make contact with the other version of you.
L.Shido: Yes and through that they share knowledges, experiences and ways to improve one another. Lastly we were able to create an artificial spirits using Tohka Sephira as example. Again I'll say that this is pure science no magic involved.
As if he knows what im thinking he specify that there's no magic involved and that fact alone shows how advanced this version of Shido is
L.Shido: However, with this technology has its bad side. There are versions of me who isn't so pure hearted try to use this technology to create an army and initiate war with one another. That's where I came in and create you in order to eliminate the versions of me who will eventually grow into a threat to me and empire.
Tenka: Well that's messed up. Killing yourself over and over and over again. That's a bit overkill though.
L.Shido: Think what you want. My action are justify from a certain point of view.
Tenka: A certain point of view?
L.Shido: You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view. The truth is often what we make of it. You heard what you wanted to hear, believed what you wanted to believe.
Tenka: Now that have been answered. I wonder what happen to Mio from your timeline?
L.Shido: Oh, her? She's here. (He point at his throne)
Tenka: Umm, you mean she turn into a throne.
L.Shido: I use her Sephira as a power source for my Neurokinetic Multiversal Spirit Engine or simply the throne. I also did an experiment on her Sephira and its open a new possibility for me to manipulate events and gain access to travel across the boundaries that divide one universe from another with ease.
Tenka: So, that's where your power comes from. No wonder you're so powerful.
L.Shido: Yes and No. Only small parts of my power comes from her. Most of my power comes the spirit girls. Its the last gift I got from them.
Tenka: Wait! Last? You mean they...
L.Shido: Yes. They vanished in front of me.
He look down feeling sad in his chest and I could see both sadness and hatred from his eyes
Tenka: Then how about Tohka?
L.Shido: She is here. (He point to his chest) this was my only way to save her. By absorbing her I was able to stop her from vanishing. Now: She is me and I am her. Even she's not her but I could feel her and talk to her.
Tenka: So what now?
L.Shido: You're going back to that world and this time do your job properly.
Tenka: But I've kill Shido in that timeline and I'm pretty sure that the timeline already destroyed.
L.Shido: It's true that much has transpire since you were last there but I've reset the timeline so a the things you did never happen.
He motioned his hand and a portal appears
Tenka: Okay got it.
Before I enter the portal L.Shido give me a reminder
L.Shido: And remember. Do Not Kill Them.
Tenka: I'll try but just so you know I just like this kind of thing.
L.Shido: I don't care if you're a violent megalomaniac or something. Just refrain yourself from killing especially Shido. I need him for my plan.
Tenka: What plan?
L.Shido: I don't know.
Tenka: What do you mean you don't know.
L.Shido: It's all just an experiment, a test that I make for my own amusement. I'll just do it and see the suprise I would get as a result.
Tenka: (sigh) Fineeee. I wont kill anyone...for now.
L.Shido: Good enough. Now off you go.
He said that and kick my butt hard, so hard in fact I could fell my bones cracking and send me flying into the portal
Tenka: Aww My Pelvis!
Timeskip
Its was a normal day in Tengu City where all its inhabitants doing their works and fulfill their role...
However that normal day was ruined by a sudden sound of all spacequake alarm rang all at once
This sparks panic as the alarm indicates a big spacequake is about to form and all the citizen starts evacuating to safety
Not long after that the anticipated spacequake happen and destroyed a vast area leaving only a massive crater with me in the middle with my throne
As per usual of Spirit appearing, the AST showed up trying to kill the spirits amd the keyword is "trying" because the failed m9st of the time through the entire season of this anime
They all fly toward me in formation or a swarm as they all look like a pests from the distance and I decided to give them a shocking suprise and by that I mean...
Tenka: POWER!!!
They all was electrocuted and starts fall from the sky like a bird that was hit by a stone
This must be how palpatine feel when he do the thing
I'm not even move from throne
System: [YOURHIGHNESS, IT SEEMS OUR PRIMARYTARGETIS HERE]
Tenka: "Yes, I feel him too".
I'm going to treat him nicely this time
I can clearly feel Shido was hiding behind broken building while communicating with the fraxinus crew
Tenka: You can come out now. I know you there.
Shido come out from his hiding looking a bit nervous like usual
Shido: H-Hello.
Tenka: I've foreseen this meeting, Shido Itsuka.
Earlier
Shido: So, how was It, Kotori?
Kotori: Look for yourself.
Shido looked at the screen and say someone was sitting on a throne in Centre of the crater and she looks familiar
Shido: Is that, Tohka?
Kotori: I thought so at first but the energy signature was different from Tohka plus Tohka is at home. Maybe it just a coincidence or maybe she's related to Tohka.
Shido: I'm going down there.
Kotori: We still don't know anything about the spirit and AST probably on their way now. It could be dangerous for you if you go down there now.
Crew1: Commander, a squad of AST troops is approaching.
All attention was focused to the screen and the moment after they witnessed a little display of power where me electrocute all the AST troops
Crew2: That was crazy. She didn't even move from her sit.
Crew3: The line is clear. There no other as squad in the vicinity.
Kotori: Well that was queue. Go down there and save her.
Back to present
Shido: Wait! How did you...
Tenka: So, have you come to kill me.
Shido: W-Wait no! You misunderstood. I...
Before he could finish a second squad of AST showed up and began firing at us
Tenka: It seems our conversation needs to wait. Those pests are back.
I create a protective barrier around Shido so his fragile non attractive little body didn't get holes from all those bullet
I stand from my sit and summon Nahemah
Shido: Wait! Don't kill them.
Tenka: Don't worry. Im not going to kill them.
I turn Nahemah in to a blaster and aim at the incoming AST troop
Shido: Wait! You said you're not going to kill them.
Tenka: I know what I'm doing.
Shido: But they're gonna get hurt.
Tenka: That's the point!
I then counter their attack by shooting their jetpack wing causing the to lose control and crashes on the ground, unconscious
Tenka: Now, shall we move to a more secluded place.
Shido: Y-Yeah...
On Fraxinus
Kotori: Okay people its time to choose.
A. Restaurant-2
B. Park-3
C. Public Toilet-1
Kotori: Who choose public toilet?
Kyouhei: It was me.
Kotori: And why is that?
He starts hugging himself and starts explaining
Kyouhei: Because it was a suitable place to have a secret conversation and do the...
Before he could finish Kotori give him an uppercut to his chin sending him flying with a very disgusting happy face
Kotori: (sigh) Shido, choose the park.
Back to Shido
Shido: How about we go to a park. There's less people there at this time of day.
Tenka: That's fine. So what are we waiting for?
Shido: Umm, can you change you outfit? Its a bit revealing (he said with tint of red on his face)
Well I don't blame him, Tenka outfit was indeed revealing and according to fandom its was using the concept of "Demon lord seducing the Hero" and making the out fit as revealing as it can be
I dont this this can be call outfit anyone
Tenka: Fine.
My body glow and my so called outfit change into a more appropriate outfit
And by that I mean the Tohka boss outfit from the encore novels
Tenka: Is this good enough?
Shido: Y-Yes. We should get going.
Tenka (thought): Why is he always stutter? Am I that scary?
At the park
Shido: S-So about earlier, how did you know my name?
Tenka: I know everything, boy. I know you and everyone you know includes to people to choose this open place to have a conversation.
Shido was shocked as I know the existence of those so called expert in love (i don't know their name and I don't care about it)
Shido: Y-You know?
Tenka: Like I said, I know everything. So there's no use for you to do all this
Shido: Why?
Tenka: Because there's no way in hell I would fall in love with you.
Shido: B-But...
Tenka: However, if you become a man I might change my perception
Shido: But I am a man.
Tenka: Oh please, you're not a man, you're a dude. Becoming a man is realising that you aren't really loved.
Shido: What do you mean?
Tenka: You provide something and get love in return for it. And as for you, you just said that you're a man because of you gender and age...
Suddenly it's starts to rain but there's no cloud and at that moment I know who's responsible
Shido: Rain? But the weather forecast said it would be sunny today.
Tenka: Well, its time for me to leave.
Shido: Wait, I need to seal you.
Tenka: I don't need you help for that. I can do it myself.
My body starts to glow and I seal my own power even though it's unnecessary but its helps to avoid detection
Tenka: There. You can ask your sister just to be sure.
Shido: Kotori...
Kotori via earpiece: "Yeah I know. Her spirit energy have drop to zero. It is as if she's just a normal human. But she is still a potential threat so better keep an eye on her.
Tenka: Well, I'll be on my way now. Say hello to my sister for me.
Shido: Sister? You mean Tohka.
Tenka: Tohka? So she have name's now? Well that fine.
I pretend to be suprise to avoid suspension or whatever because Im sure Tohka don't even know me
Tenka: Oh one more thing. There's another spirit that require your help right now. You can find her near the shrine. Byeee...
Thanks to the rain earlier I was able to pin point my exact location in the timeline and it's when Shido first meet Yoshino and Yoshinon
Shido: Wait!
Tenka: You people just won't let me go, aren't you?
Shido: Umm...
Tenka: (sigh) Fine. I'll tag along. It's not like I have anything else to do. Quickly, give me your hand.
Shido: Why? (He ask hesitated)
Kotori via earpiece: Just do as she says. It seems she doesn't have bad intention.
Shido then give me his hand and my body starts to glow and after the light dissapears, I was nowhere to be found
Shido: !!!. Where did she go?!!
Tenka: Relax boy. I'm still here.
Shido: But I can't see you.
Tenka: Look at you finger.
Shido as I say and look at his finger only to found there's a ring on his finger
Shido: A ring?
Tenka: Not just a ring. That's me.
Shido: You turn into a ring?
Tenka: I am a ring. My soul was stored inside the ring and the body earlier was merely a construct I made using my power. Now don't ask questions and go to the shrine. I'll help you. Brace yourself.
(Tenka: Note: For those who might not understand, I actually turn into something like Green Lantern ring)
(This is the picture I draw for reference)
To be honest all about the ring was a lie but it will make my work easier as I will always near him
Shido: For whaaaa...
Before he could finish he starts flying
Shido: What's happening?
Tenka: Relax, when you wear me on your finger, I grant you some of my basic ability like flight and super durability. This should help you to stop getting hurt.
Shido: Umm, thanks? But why do you help me.
Tenka: Because I trust you. I know what you did the other day when you save Tohka and I appreciate it. Accept the kissing part, its disgusting. You can count this as a thanks. Also, do me a favour, put out the earpiece.
Shido: But I need it to contact Fraxinus and the crew.
Tenka: You know, you shouldn't put too much trust on them.
Shido: Huh, why?
Tenka: They're all human. Human are a disease. They always do whatever they want and end up destroying themselves.
Shido: No, You're wrong! Humans are good. They sacrifice themselves to protect others.
Tenka: Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a spirit, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out.
Shido: But I'm a human...
Tenka: You sure about that? Do you really think a human have the power to seal a near god-like being?
Shido: ...
Tenka: Then you should know better. Acknowledge what you are.
Shido: But my sister trusted them.
Tenka: (sigh) You can trust them but try not to be too dependent on them. Let's focus on the objective for now. We're close.
Tenka(thought): And it's time to meet little Yoshi...
