The riagon's story
By goober
A story I'll write. This is crim's side of the story collab that a few people are doing, including but not limited to;
Umbra, (wrath) Error, Dracore, (as dracore lol) trentmason, (bella), and a few more. Mostly Error, though.

Since this a collab au (and mostly stuff in error's world happens in here), writers can throw in a part that happens and I will add it into this story if I like it.
Also, oc guide below. The guide is WAY unfinished, but I plan to work on it a lot, so check back in on it every now and then.

Birth
An egg was layed.
An egg was hatched.
An independant form,
A cannibal;
A true psychopath.

Though, despite these, a new species arose.
And that is the riagon.

With appearance similar to hyperaptors,
And a blood craving for lesser kaiju,
commonly thought to be myth,
And yet hunts silently,
but new species still must repopulate.


A hybrid between rainwing and crimson raptor,
With draconic wings and toxic spit,
And agile as a cat,

Crim shall rise.
And so shall the generations to come.
Chapter one - Past experiences
''mmh..'', Crim exclaimed, as he bowed his head and started devouring a freshly-hunted hyperaptor.
''A hard-earned meal for a hard-working riagon...'', he said, as he sat down next to the corpse and continued to eat it messily.
When Crim had finally eaten enough food for the day, he got up and dragged the corpse to his den.

Inside Crim's den were about three eggs. One had crimson speckles on it, one had grey and crimson, and one of them had grey and black speckles.

These eggs had been layed a few weeks ago, and Crim was expecting for them to hatch soon, so he sat next to the eggs and stared at them. Eventually, he fell asleep, and dreamed of his past.


...



''.....Stupid child......You're nothing but my dinner, you idio-''
Crim was playing with his food again, like normal. He was taunting a young kaiju, when he stopped himself.

A much, MUCH larger kaiju stood behind crim. Actually, he wasn't exactly sure if it was a kaiju, since he couldn't even get a good look at it, but suddenly, an EXTREMELY bright circle appeared between the riagon and the child.

Crim was too stunned to speak at the time, so he just froze, staring at the blinding light.

The next thing he knew, he was pushed into the glowing circle that appeared to be rapidly moving by something behind him, and fell onto his face on the other side.

It was a portal, but Crim hadn't known what it was from. He was stuck in a dense forest, not exactly knowing what to do.
Crim had then wandered around, looking for a suitable shelter, and rested for a bit. Then he walked out of the den and looked for food.

Soon, he ran into an ad sign.
''Fresh meat! Best in all of Raptoru!'', it said.

Crim kept walking in the direction he found the strange sign and came across a thriving community of strange beings who appeared similar to him. They all looked friendly and peaceful, but Crim wasn't exactly thinking about that. He felt as if he was starving, so he spread his wings and went for a random raptor-thing that was talking to a group of other raptor-thingies.

Crim flew onto the hyperaptor and pounced onto it, pinning it to a nearby table. The hyperaptors stared in shock, about thirty pairs of eyes on him. Crim stood up tall with his claw held onto the neck of his prey, when he suddenly realized that every one of those things were staring at him in horror.

He looked around, eyes wide, and felt nervous for a few seconds. The hyperaptor he was planning on eating had escaped from his grip, and then in a flash, there was a blurb of crimson in the sky, and then it seemed to have dissapeared.
Chapter two - False Hunt
Crim woke up, in a sweat, panting. He lifted his head, looked around frantically, and took a deep breath. When Crim calmed down, he looked at his eggs. He stared at the eggs and smiled, but not because he was proud of them. Crim was looking forward to increasing the population of riagons. He knew that if the eggs hatched, and the children lived for at least a few seconds, then he wouldn't go extinct the moment he died.

Suddenly, he heard a snap. It sounded kinda like a twig being broken.

''AGH!''
Crim got caught by a trap of some sort.
He had no idea what to do. He was thinking about it. Suddenly, he heard a voice.

''Well, well, well!'' It said. The voice sounded male. Then, crim could see a purple hyperaptor with star-shaped spots. Crim wondered how he lived without a neck, as his head seemed to have been floating.
''Guess you're real, then!'', it said.

There was a few seconds of silence, and Crim was extremely annoyed.
Suddenly, the Hyperaptor shouted,
''Now DI-''. The hyperaptor was cut off by another voice.
''Wait!'', another hyperaptor had shouted. It was green, and Crim thought that the tuft at the end of its tail looked familiar.

Crim watched as the hyperaptor convinced the purple hyperaptor not to kill him.
''Now, Electro, go in there and see what's in that den.''
Electro, crim thought. Crim now knew his name. then he realized that he was about to destroy his eggs.

Crim didn't know what to do, so the flaps on the sides of his head popped out quickly, and Crim spit a sort of toxic poison at Electro. He barely missed his target.
''Oh, wow. I didn't know about that....''
the hyperaptor said, and he simply continued into the den.

Crim unfortunately didn't have any ideas on how to get out, So he looked at the green hyperaptor , hoping the he would free Crim soon.
But then there was a brown shape that ran past the two, and the hyperaptor shouted after it, ''AY, COME BACK!'' and ran off.

Meanwhile, Electro was invading Crim's den. Electro looked around the den, taking in his surroundings, when he spotted something.
a nest.

But something was off. Two eggs appeared as egg shells. as if they had hatched. one egg has a hatchling right next to it, and there was slime and blood on it, like it had just hatched while all this happened.

Electro looked at it, wondering weather or not he should steal it, leave it, or kill it. Then he wondered where the rest of the hatchlings went.
Suddenly, the purple hyperaptor felt a sharp pain in his leg. When he looked down, he saw that a tiny riagon was attacking his leg. Electro kicked it off and wondered what he was gonna do, now.

While this happened, Crim started kicking at the rope that was suspending his tail in the air. He soon got frustrated, and ended up spitting at the rope around his tail. The acid-like poison was enough to burn through the rope, and Crim fell onto his back in the dirt and grass of the forest floor. Unfortunately, his tail was slightly burned, as well.




































Crim rushed into the den, angry. Electro was looking at his hatchling and didn't notice him, yet.
Without a thought or noise, Crim screeched at the top of his lungs and pounced onto electro. Electro was scared, but Crim was just angry.

Crim was about to bite down into electro's neck to kill him with his venom, but then that same green hyperaptor from before showed up at the entrance of the den. Crim looked at him, still holding Electro down. Electro looked at him, too, and felt slightly relieved.

''Wait! what in the world is going on, here?!'', the hyperaptor yelled.
Crim glared at Electro for a moment, and then looked back the the green hyperaptor.
The hyperaptor looked at the egg shells in the den, then at the hatchling that already started wobbling around the den.

''Wait, you didn't mess with its eggs, did you?'', he asked.
The hyperaptor looked at the hatchling, and then looked up at electro.
''Crim, please put him down...''

The riagon's eyes widened. He didn't know that he had a name, yet.
Crim....it felt like a fitting name. Funny enough, he didn't know that the hyperaptor didn't come up with that name, himself.

Crim looked at Electro again. His expression appeared to be full of hatred. It kind of scared this purple hyperaptor. Crim then scratched his neck, the mark most likely leaving a scar in the future. Thankfully, he only meant to leave a mark. Then, he let go of Electro.

The green hyperaptor looked concerned, as Electro was behind him in a flash.
''Wha- why did you hurt him?!'', the hyperaptor worridly asked.
He didn't actually think that Crim could talk.

then. a raspy, scratchy-sounding voice said, ''To show him.....Not to mess with...me.''
He seemed to speak slowly, and the words sounded broken. It was almost as if he had never spoken in a very long time.

Both of the hyperaptors stood at the entrance of the den. They looked surprised.
The green hyperaptor gestured to the purple one to go, and he did so. Very quickly.
Then he came closer to Crim. He showed no fear, either.

''Huh. I guess he somewhat deserved it...'', The hyperaptor said, thoughtfully.
''Anyways, my name is Leaflet. I've heard that you're just a legend, but I guess not....''
Crim looked confused about the legend part of what Leaflet had said.
''Do you have any information about the rifts? It's said that that was how you got here.''
Crim thought for a moment. ''.....Kaiju....''. He paused.
''large...blue..............caused a...rift......'', Crim finished.

Leaflet noted this. Maybe he'd tell someone he knew about this, or just keep it to himself. Whatever he planned on doing with this information, he was going to use it for good. It must have been important.

Leaflet nodded and left the den. He also watched as the now juvenile riagons left the den, as well.
''These things grow fast...'', He thought. Little did he know, one of the rialings were following him. She was only following him by his footsteps, though, as she was blind in light.

Since Leaflet was so kind to Crim, he will remember Leaflet as one not to harm. He might even help him, some day.

[THIS IS A FILLER FOR A PICTURE IMA DRAW. COMING SOON!!]

[This is the end of the chapter. Stay tuned for more, there will be more coming really soon!
also, if the owner of the oc's, Electro and leaflet, (owned by Error) want a say in what happened here, they can comment below, and I'll change it if it makes sense.]
Chapter three - Spine's first days (and first kills)
Spine, the firstborn, was already a teen. This is because riagons can grow to adults in under a day, though it'll take a few years for them to be ready to lay.

Spine was actually quite intelligent. He adapted well, and was seemingly smarter than Crim, himself. While Crim was fighting for his children, Spine ran out of the den. It wasn't actually long before he'd run into a strange cat-like creature.

Spine was smart, so he had learned a few words from the fight he had heard from earlier.

''...Who...are you...?, he said.
The cat stood there, staring at him. It appeared to have one big eye, which pretty much was its entire face.

''....What.....do you want...?'', Spine asked. Spine's voice sounded scratchy, but kind of in a smooth way. It was quite soothing to the ears.

The cat, however, kept staring at him, with a blank expression. Though, something seemed a bit...off about it, like something about it was shifting, or...changing, in a way.

''...Answer.....now...'', Spine demanded, sturggling with his own language just a little, due to being exposed to only a few words.

The cat continued to stare at him. It seemed odd, however. It was as if this strange feline creature was fading into the shadows, and becoming a shadow-ey like flame. Spine was getting irritated.
In an instant, an acidic puddle of a black substance landed right on the shadowy creature. Well, it would have.... If the thing were still there. But when spine processed what was going on, the cat was gone. It might've even been just his imagination. Still, though. Something seemed to be watching him.... He could sense it.

Then, Spine decided to move on. He would try and forget that wretched creature.

A little bit more walking, and Spine heard footsteps. He also could hear mumbling. Somehow, though, he was barely able to figure out what the mumbling meant.

''I heard they were over here.....We'll just have to see if that walking encyclopedia really is crazy, or not.....Come on...''
Spine realized that there were two voices.
''Fine, fine....Whatever you say, boss....''

Spine hid in the trees quickly. Now, he could see what was going on.
There was a green hyperaptor, but it didn't look like leaflet. It was gigantic. The hyperaptor has these red ring-looking things on its arms and legs, and its pupils were black, which blended in with its eyes. Following behind it was a much smaller hyperaptor, who was a brown-ish- yellow color.

The two hyperaptors were actually headed directly in the exact direction of Crim's den. Spine took note of this.

After a bit of thinking, and a little bit of tree-jumping, the smaller hyperaptor had been pushed into a bush and muffled. The larger hyperaptor turned around and saw nothing. He then realized that his assistant was gone. Then, he smelled something like a copper smell...

The hyperaptor was confused, for a moment. Then, he realized that there was a puddle of blood leaking from a bush nearby. He sprinted towards it and checked the bush immediately.

(This part might be a lil bit gory, you've been warned)

What the hyperaptor saw in the bush was horrifying. His friend was covered in blood, and was missing his own leg. It was as if something had stolen it straight from his body. His neck had extremely deep cuts in them, explaining why he couldn't hear any real screaming. The injured hyperaptor was still alive, but was dying fast. there was no hope for him.

(Gory bit's over, you're good! :D)

Spine watched the hyperaptor witness this. when the hyperaptor looked away from his dead assistant, his eyes locked onto Spine, who was in a tree. They both froze, Spide looking as if he were about to kill him, and the hyperaptor looking scared. The giant hyperaptor ran away, back to where he came from. Spine knew that there would most likely be more hyperaptors in the area looking for Crim, but he didn't really care. All he cared about was that he was going to get to cause a little bit of fear in some eyes.
Chapter four - Claw's blind friendliness
Claw had been following Leaflet for a while. She could only hear his footsteps, since they were walking in daylight. Leaflet didn't actually know about Claw following him until she tripped and fell over a root of a tree. Leaflet had turned around and looked at her. ''Oh, hey, little one! What are you doing here?'', Leaflet asked. Claw barely knew how to speak, and only said ''...follow....Blind...''. Leaflet sort of understood, but felt bad that she was blind. So, he allowed the small riagon to follow him. Soon, though, Leaflet took off to the sky, after getting to a village and saying goodbye to her. Claw didn't know how to fly yet, so she flapped her wings and flopped onto a trading table, where a trade was happening.

''Hey! I-is that a riagon?!'', one of the hyperaptors said.
''Wow....Hey, I think it might actually be... a teen, it looks like, too.....I bet it would be worth it, if you're willing to pay...'', the trader said. Claw Couldn't see them, and was confused. ''Pay...?...Worth?'', Claw said, confused.
''And it talks, too!'', the buying hyperaptor said.
Claw was getting a bit nervous, along with confused. So, she ran off of the trading table, and the trader shouted, ''VILLAGE CONTROLLER PROMOTION FOR WHOEVER CATCHES THAT RAIGON!'', And just like that, tons of hyperaptors from all over the village tried to catch Claw.
Claw was quick, though, and ran fast. She quickly ran into a den of some random hyperaptor and hid there. Hopefully, the hyperaptor living there wouldn't freak out too much...
