Crog Eva AU- Growing up: Understanding

Pre series ficlet, Vea finds out why the Crogs invade other planets

Aka, I make up Crog culture and Vea has all of the uncles

Vea’s been living of Kramm for over a year when she asks it

Her dad, some of her uncle’s are discussing a new invasion, she’s sitting near the window she hadn’t been really been reading the book in hands for a while now, listening to her family talk, and that one question had began repeating in her head.

Her Uncle Voxx growls something shaking his head and leaving the conversation, moving to sit near her he takes one look at her and one of his eyes quirk slightly “something on your mind Vea?”

She blinks up at him biting her lip slightly before asking the question that’s been floating around her head “…Uncle Voxx how come we invade planets?”

He stares at her wide eyed before looking back at the rest of their family and Vea realises the room has gone very quite very quickly

Turning she sees her father and other uncles looking at her

Vea suddenly worries she shouldn’t have asked, it was wrong, are, are they going to abandon her leave her like.

She feels a hand on her head and looks up to see her dad staring down at her reassuringly behind her she can see the rest of their talking again, but not about the invasion, their tones are different

“…we will tell you” her dad says calmly “just be patient”

“we’ll ask he Imperium tonight” Uncle Draxus says “it shouldn’t be an issue”

“Some people will try to make it an issue” Uncle Iokois said glaring at the side

“not if they know what’s good for them” Uncle Voxx added

“we should have told you earlier” Her dad says before standing up and moving away “your one of us Vea you need to know”

It’s 3 days after that her father tells her it’s time.

She follows him out of their compound, the surrounding towns, further than she’s travelled before and in the opposite direction to the northern tribes where her other uncles live. She pulls her thick cloak closer around her as the ait becomes colder, and the land gets more desolate and uneven.

When they reach the mountains Vea stares in awe they’re huge and jagged sharp like the teeth or claws of a wild animal, her father grabs her hand and guides her through a small hidden walkway, one that from every angle just looked like more mountain she follows wide eyed.

She can’t help the gasp of awe as she sees the crystals in the passage.

There are beautiful jewels that shoot up everywhere like stalactites, blacks, red and gold everywhere all pulsing and shining brightly and she smiles brightly at them.

When she sees them on the other end of the tunnel her smile fades, breaks and shatters.

All around them are crystals but they’re all broken, some shattered to a million pieces, some burned down, some cut in half…it looks like a war zone.

Her father’s hand tights around hers and he walks her through the jagged remains, they’re everywhere though filling the entire valley…just broken crystals…and pools of black.

Vea blinks down at one of the pools around them, there are lots of them but some are really low barley any black liquid in them, it’s black like ink, or tar, or oil but it seems different how it moves is…it’s defiantly a liquid but it’s not like any she’s seen before

“Vea...this is why we fight” her father begins and she looks up at him he’s staring forward intently “this is why we invade worlds and will continue to”

He kneels down and looks her in the eye “Vea… these are the pools of origin, these are how Crogs are born”

Vea stares at him wide eyed and looks back at the pools “these pools are all over Kramm, these ones in this ground are for the Western tribes”  he explains “you see Crogs can…well we do not reproduce like most species, one or more of us, normally a bonded pair, but more than 2 or even 1 alone can place part of our essence our spirit and blood into a pool it will bond with the pool and create in time a new life” he explained  and Vea could only stare in wonder

“that’s amazing” she whispers as she stares down reverently into the pool

Her father is quite “this is the greatest guarded secret of our race” he explains “no other race, no one outside of us knows of this” Vea turned back to him “because the one time we did, the one time the Crogs allied with someone else….” He turned to the crystals “they tried to destroy them…to destroy us and they almost succeeded” she says nothing as her father continues “hundreds of years ago we had an alliance with another race, one we trusted with our origin…when they betrayed us they attacked every group of pools destroying the crystals which help give life to the pools…destroying their power and resources” they both looked at the remnants of the crystals “of course after that we destroyed them…but the damage was done…our planet alone cannot sustain these pools, so take what we need by force”

“we don’t make alliances” Vea began as she looked around “because we’d have to tell them why we needed them and…”

“our planet , our race cannot survive another attack on these pools” he nodded

The 2 stayed their for a while in silence before he held out his hand began to lead her back

Vea stared back at the pools for a long moment deep in thought before looking up at her dad she thought back to history books in schools teachers calling the Crogs monsters and demons and “I think humans would do it” she mumbled

She father glanced back at her “…so do I”

The walk back in deep silence before Vea stops  as they approach the town looking up at her dad “I don’t think every race would though”

Her father just ruffles her hair and they continue on, she’s pretty sure he doesn’t think the same as her.

She sees the first baby when she’s 7, it’s her cousin Locus.

When her uncle Reeos takes her to see the pool at first she stares in once at the ball of yellow light flowing around in the pool.

When their born Vea get’s to the one of the first to see them, their just a ball of black inky substance with 2 big yellow eyes and 2 inky dripping pointed ears, they wrap themselves around her arm and Vea nearly cries…she loves her baby cousin so much!

“they won’t get a solid humanoid form for a good few years, and even them they’ll be able to revert it back to this form until they come of age” Uncle Reeos explains biting back laughter as he watches her hug him close

At the time Vea doesn’t register the explanation her response to this explanation is simply “CAN I TEACH THEM TO FLY WHEN THEY GET OLDER?”

She’s 15 when it happens she was working on repairing and upgrading one of the tridents when she gets a com from her father and uncles saying there’s an Imperium meeting, an urgent one and asking her to watch her cousins

Locus and her watch the triplets and their other little cousin while giving each other worried looks.

This isn’t an invasion meeting; they are way more structured nowhere near as frantic and last minute.

Vea has the horrible worrying thought what if Kramm is under attack’ or something similar, she swallows down her worry and keeps calm she can’t worry her cousins, though looking at Locus they may be thinking the same.

She even gets calls from her older cousins in the Northern tribes and even the twins from South, her friends and also evill masterminds; give her a call wondering if anyone has any idea what’s happening, it’s the one time she sees the twins freaking out.

Needless to say she is on edge and pacing when her dad and uncles arrive back hours later, both her and Locus run up to them wide eyed and frantic.

“…Nourasia has offered an alliance” her Uncle Iokois explains when they enter

Vea feels her mouth drop open

She remembers her thought all those years ago

Not everyone will betray them

The Nourasians are meant to be honourable race

Vea feels herself smile

This time the alliance will work.

She wants to hope so at least.

AU notes for Crog culture

1) Baby Crogs are like little blobs of ink with pointy ears and big eyes and are ADORABLE 2)Crogs are normally male or non binary in this, though some do identify as female

Crog Eva AU- Reveals and Races

Hey here’s part 4 of Crog Eva AU Takes place in Will to Win

Vea is furious, Toros has gone too far.

Way to far

Not only had he destroyed her trident, disobeying the Imperium to be the pilot, destroying her communication devices so she couldn’t report to the Imperium or contact her father

And all that he’d done to Aikka and Rush.

He was violent and unstable.

Crogs may be warlike but they also had order and laws.

They had rules and morals, though they may differ from other species.

But what Toros was doing, it was wrong by all those standards.

And Eva was done.

She was taking her position back.

 Even if it meant helping the Earth team win.

And that made her feel sick to her very core.

She didn’t really have a problem with Rick, she’d talked to him a few times and even accepted after she broke his ship their initial races agreeing that he’d been cocky, underestimating her, he was …nice. Vea didn’t bemoaned helping him.

It was the fact this would help Don Wei that made bile rise in her throat.

 But she had to do it.

 She had to stop Toros.

 This was her only chance, she had to stop him here on Alwas because if she didn’t even slip into the finals and be untouchable.

 By Kramm would she let that happen.

 Even if it meant tearing off her masks revealing herself as biologically human.

 She heard all the shocked gasps around her as she pulled them off, and she pushed down the horror at the fact they all knew.

Rush knew, he’d hate her now she knew…she’d realised talking to him he didn’t know who she was, she’s glad he told her about Byrus, she’d not known just how ruthless Toros was, her father had only told her he’d been utterly brutal far more than was needed, setting a wildfire to do the job that a candle could do.

And Aikka…Vea can’t even look, he hates her she knows, he knows now and he’ll despise her. After what Toros did she’s not surprised, that he’d been treating Nourasia like that. They’re meant ot allies not hostages or slaves. Alliances are new for the Crogs yes but this is not how to handle it at all. She curses whoever on the Imperium let Toros have a say in the process, after this she’s going to have to ask her Uncle Iokois to look into it, he actually knows about diplomacy, he’ll sort it out.

That is if she survives, she can still see the blade in the ground out of the corner of her eye.

To the death.

 She keeps staring at Toros, his arrogance and confidence is radiating off of him.

Everyone’s still whispering, chattering staring at her.

She doesn’t pay attention to them.

Toros laughs “well well looks like the little pretender finally reveals her true traitorous colours you little human”

Vea bares her teeth and stands tall “I AM NOT HUMAN, I AM A CROG AND I AM THE PILOT THE IMPERIUM CHOOSE” she points at him “AND I WILL COMPLETE THE MISSION GIVEN TO BE EVEN IF THAT MEANS…WINNING FOR THEM”

Toros shifted “you won’t win you’ll die helping a hopeless cause don’t worry though” his eyes crinkled in dark amusement “all your human kin will be joining you soon enough”

She kept meeting his gaze the judges were stuttering someone out clearly lost on what to do

The 2 of them turning away from each other walking towards their ships

Well Vea walked towards the earth team’s ship, she’d only flown tridents for years she knew the disadvantage she was at, but this was also like the ship her mother had flown. She still remembered how it worked.

She wouldn’t lose

“WHAT THE HELL?” came the voice of the gunner Jordsomething she couldn’t remember

Vea glanced at him as he moved between her and the ship while Rick just stared at her wide eyed

“Like hell your flying OUR ship you…I don’t even know what you are!” the boy stumbled out “there’s no way a human would help the Crogs so I you’re the one who destroyed our ship before just NO you’re not flying it”

Vea glared at him “well who else on your team will fly it” she gestured to Rick whose arm was still bandaged the boy faltered looking between them “ I will win this for your team just get out of my way”

Rick was staring at her intently

“If she doesn’t race she forfeits the challenge automatically” one of the aliens in the stands called out to them

“It’s a death challenge the loser will die if she doesn’t race then..” another called out

The earth team both jolted staring at her in shock “are you kidding you…”

“I won’t lose” she snapped looking at Rick, the man met her eyes before reaching up ripping out the communicator in her ear turning it off and Vea could hear yelling on the other end before he did

“Go” he nodded towards the ship, Jordan that was it, moved out of the way and Vea ran past jumping in staring at the controls trying to remember all of them

She saw Jordan begin to move towards the ship also but Toros just laughed “I don’t think so boy, the challenge is between me and her no one else”

The humans gaped in rage and the crowd began chattering loudly

“It’s fine” Vea said firmly cutting off the protests she knew the humans were going to start yelling out “that’s how this works besides I don’t need guns to beat him”

She could feel rage radiating off of Toros at that comment

There was a moment of silence between the earth team “…do you know how to fly it?” Rick trailed off looking concerned

Vea nodded “don’t worry about me”

“You’re literally in a race to the death with a guy whose never lost in a ship you’ve never flown with no weapons” he chocked out

Vea smiled down “well he’s never raced against me before” she nodded down at them “thanks” she said before manoeuvring the ship to the starting point

She could feels eyes on her but she didn’t care, she tore open the control panel, ignoring the shouts of shock and offence form the crowd and earth team, instead she began moving wires around first silencing the radio and remote commands, she didn’t trust Don Wei and the rest of the earth team before starting on more important things (she remembered how the ship had worked in their race, their boosters had been impressive but maybe if she altered power flow to their then she could maybe, also removing powers from guns she could rework it to yes that would work)

She worked quickly, like her training for emergency repairs in crashing ships or during combat, Uncle Hoorus and Uncle Vox had taufght her the quickest ways to assess and rework all types of Crog ships, it was a similar principle with these ships just a little more.

She heard Toros’s yell “Start the race”

Petty asshole she thought to herself

She could hear the judges and crowds displeasure, but she heard the countdown begin

That was ok nearly

DONE.

She hit the power just the signal to start came barley closing the top of the cockpit in time.

But she speed on after Toros

She wasn’t going to lose.

  She was pretty sure the earth team wouldn’t be to pissed at her for upgrading their boosters as she activated them during the race speeding past Toros with a satisfied smile in place, tactically she should undo her work after the race, though that would be a dick move….but leaving it would help Don Wei.

She cut her musings off she saw Toros power up and she felt offence bubble up really, he was trying to cut through the ship, use her own move against her.

Vea just smirked and waited til the last moment before putting the ship into a spin.

Easily avoiding that move and using the momentum to toss his trident off course.

He was underestimating her, of course he was, he always had.

And now it would cost him dearly.

  The finally stretch was really just a game of chicken, the boosters of the earth ship were keeping pace with his trident and it was just who blinked first.

The thing is her Dad always said she’d stare death in the eye without flinching, and apparently she won’t blink either because he stopped first, she speed through, barley twisting out of the way of his speeding Trident and skidding to a stop.

All she could her was her own breathing and her heart beat in her ears adrenaline coursing through her blood stream.

She let herself smile, she won.

She beat him.

Letting out a laugh of shock she exiting the ship

Trying  not to the feel the hunderds of eyes on her.

She leaned moved away from the ship, she wasn’t sure what to do now she needed to call the imperium, to contact her father and her uncles and

“You” a dark rage filled growl echoed out and she spun to see Toros charging at her sword on hand “PATHETIC HUMAN” he screttched

Vea heard gasps and cries in the crowds but spun reaching for her dagger only for a flash of movement to stop her.

A black hand held the sword blade in places

The entire stadium was silence as the void of space

In front of her stood her father cape billowing behind him eye narrowed glaring at Toros in pure seething ice cold hatred.

Toros said nothing eyes wide

“get” Kross began “away” he continued as he forced the sword from the others hands “from” he reared back his fist “my” he punched the other in the gut sending him flying back “DAUGTHER!”

Vea smiled in relief, she hadn’t been able to contact him in days she’d had no idea what was happening with him where he was she felt the grin break her face and without thinking she throw herself at him arms his waist as she cried out “DAD!”

She hears the crowd erupt in a chorus of voices confused, shocked, offended she’s not sure.

Her dad’s here and for a moment

She lets herself not care

Thanks for reading =)

Crog Eva AU- Part 2 Vea

Hey just second ficlet for AU where Eva is adopted by Kross

She’s been pacing outside the door for over an hour now, she knows she should be more composed she knew that but, she was so sick of waiting.

The imperium are meeting.

And she knows that they’re meeting about their meeting to talk about the great race.

The great race.

And her father hinted that he wants to put her forward as the Crogs reprehensive, he wants her to be their pilot for the great race.

Her as the crogs pilot, she can’t stop herself smile, because to represent the Crogs to win the ultimate prize…it’ll finally solidify her place.

She glances at her reflection in the dark metal, she’s dressed in dark red Crog armour with thick black clothing under, thick black gloves hide her hands, and a similar face mask hides the bottom half of her face. Her long red cloak flows behind her and the hood of her cloak cover her duel coloured hair, she dyed her dark hair partially red years ago (because it was the same colour as his and she wanted nothing to do with that man) the top of her face is cover by a viosor bright yellow like normal crog eyes, the visor saens over her ears and there are oroimantla points of black metal resembling crog ears.

She dosen;t look human, and she loves it.

Becaues she’s not human, she’s a crog.

She has been since she ran away from that place, that planet, since her father adopted her and sealed it with an oath in blood, a binding contact.

She’s not human, she’s not Eva Wei anymore.

No Eva Wei died long ago, the name buried and discarded.

She’s Vea

Her father and uncles had asked if she wanted a new name, Ecva was to human, to many memories tied to it, she;d gladly accepted the new name.

Eva the human was gone, Vea the daughter of General Kross.

 Though not all Crogs saw her as that, she frowned and continued pacing.

Sure all the members of the tribes who were close to her father, her many many uncles, knew she was Vea, even some other tribes not that close to her father but who had met her and understood.

Other’s didn’t, they saw her as a ‘pet’ a joke, not that they said so in front of her father, not anymore the last one who insulted her to her father was challenged to combat and well…they can’t really speak when they don’t have a head anymore.

The problem is that those members of the Imperium who don’t take her seriously are going to be some on the ones voting on if she’ll be the pilot.

It doesn’t help that she’s still technically viewed as a child, she’s 15 already!

And the fact that Colonel Toros will be voting…and he’ll want to go, and he hates her.

Not only does he not see her as a Crog but he’s still angry that she beat his records at some of the training tracks for pilots.

She’s beaten lots of records, she’s a good pilot her father’s been teaching her for as long as she can remember, she could fly a trident a blindfolded (and she knows this from experience Uncle Voxx can got in trouble for letting her but she’d done it perfectly)

She’s a good pilot

But Toros has never lost, and he’s a colonel…and he’s biologically a Crog.

Her moping thoughts are cut off when the door opens and her father walks out

He’s out early that means either he’s got his way and saw no more reason to stay or he’s really really pissed and had to leave before he tried to murder someone…she’s honestly not sure which it is…

“Vea” he calls back to her as he begins walking down the hallways, and she has to run to catch up with his long strides

She walks calmly in silence, for about a minute before she cracks “…well?”

Her father doesn’t even look at her “well what?” he echoes back

“dad” she groans out because that tone of voice means he’s enjoying this…and wait he’s not angry does that…does that mean

“you’ll need more composure when you arrive on Alwas” he says amusement leaking in “congratulations”

She lets out a very undignified squealing sound and launches herself at her father hugging him tightly he simply lays a hand on her hand

“I’M THE PILOT?FOR THE GREAT RACE? REALLY?” she cried out mouth split in a grin so wide anyone would be able to see it even through her mask

“of course” he said as if stating a simple fact before trailing off “but” Vea felt her grin freeze “there is a condition” he grumbled out the last word “you will be accompanied my someone”

Vea cringed because she had a feeling “Toros?” she asked grimly and groaned lowly when her father nodded

“he will there to watch you as well as ‘project strength’” he rolled his eye at that “honestly he’s there to take over if you fail” Vea raised an eyebrow “it was decided that this is a chance to prove yourself, also they don’t want to give this as a mission to Toros, they want the option to call him back if the situation changes…but if you fail or show weakness, he is to take over” she say the crinkle of her fathers eye that indicated a smirk “Torso seemed happy with that I don’t think he quite understands that you have to actually fail first, and we both know that won’t happen” Vea smirks back at him because she can see where this is going “if he does anything to attempt to make you fail or anything to seize power while you can still race and have not lost he is disobeying a direct order from the imperium”

Vea bit back a laugh “how long do you think it’ll take him to try?”

“that depends on how smart he is” her father answered

“how far do you think he’ll go?” Vea asked as she walked in time with him smiling up

“again it depends on how smart he is and how long he wants to live” he glanced down at her “contact me if he tries anything, or you think he’s going to…or if anything happens with another team” her father continues on the protective edge entering his voice as he begins to list off all the reasons she should call and how regular check ins should be…

Vea just smiles widely she’s competing in the great race.

And she’s going to win. 

Thanks for reading =)
