AND: I'm trying to stick to major events in the OSR timeline, such as the order of the races and such. Thing WILL be different. Eva has grown up in a different environment with different experiences, thus she is not the same as in the show. Please take this in when reading this story. Any questions will be answered. Anyone who wants to draw fanart is welcome, just send me a copy or a link to the pic. I want to know what you guys think of my little idea.
Let's Go
Everything was all rushing. Eva, now called Molly, sighed as she stared at the military academy Don Wei had brought the team to. He was inside, picking up a gunner. The group had already procured two star racers of a very nice design as well as the two mechanics that went with them. Eva sighed. She realized what was going on and didn't like it one bit.
The Earth team was gearing up for the Great Race of Oban.
The pilot, the current star of the circuit, was sitting in the near by car. He seemed full of himself. He reminded Eva of Morithius without the fighting ability.
"Let's go," Don Wei said and headed toward the car. A young man followed the uptight man. The boy was older, maybe just at the age to be allowed on the battlefield, and had, Eva blinked, two colored hair. His hair colors were natural. She looked him over more closely and saw something that almost made her laugh: the boy had to be at least ΒΌ non-human.
While riding in another car, she sighed once more. The other mechanics looked at her and looked away. She turned to look out the window and gazed at the scenery. Her life was really beginning to get strange and frustrating.
First, she was adopted by Crogs. She could handle that. Second, she became a Guardian. Again, that was something she could handle. Third, she was a primal. Ok, a little odd, but she was getting used to the other voice in her head saying weird things at odd times. But this, her blood-father not recognizing her and her helping the Earth, the EARTH, getting a team together for the Great Race. She sincerely hoped her father never found out about that, or she would be in for one very long, loud lecture.
"I want to thank all of you," Don said as the two cars stopped at the garage, "but the only ones going on from here will be myself, the two mechanics we picked up, Rick, and the soldier."
"You do realize you have to follow, right?" Ave said from the back of her mind. The primal part of her mind, now made aware by her Guardian powers and a near death experience, now made comments on things she tended to not notice or feel. Ave had felt the winds of change blowing around their body on Etruir. If the primal wanted her to go somewhere, she wasn't really going to overlook her advice.
The rest of the group had broken up and left. Eva had loitered for a while before discovering the path the team would take. She sighed as she began the trip to a place where she could jump onto the transport.
"How did my life get so screwed up?" she muttered and adjusted her messenger-style bag. Her bag contained all her medical supplies and an emergency beacon that would alert all Crog in the area of her position. She tended to ignore the last bit and studied the first immensely.
Karmena had made good on her promise and had introduced her daughter to the greatest healer among the Guardians. Lain had been more than happy to teach her healing techniques. Turns out the Dream Guardian had a bit of a gift for healing. It was nothing much, bit most to the healing crystals she used were stronger than normal. Lain and Karmena had both attributed that to her elemental affiliation.
Eva snapped from her musings. The transport was heading her way. She took a deep breath and moved her scooter over the rock ledge. She landed safely on the transport. She quickly shut off the scooter's engine and hid amongst the tarps.
The transport seemed to be nearing the pick-up spot when she heard it. Having been in the Academy, she could identify all warships but the sound of their engines. She sunk deeper into the tarp as a Crog trident ship descended from the sky and began attacking the transport. The driver, Rick, began to dodge wildly. Eva clung for dear life until a bright glow emanated from above. She risked popping her head up and stared at the Avatar's transport. She heard a curse in Crog, as well as her name, and looked at the Crog ship. She bit back a groan as she recognized the ship.
Taren was going to kill her when he got his hands on her. But first, he would have to make it to Alwas.
