Ginga Hanashi Orion
Season one Episode twenty: Bloodlust Part two
The screen brightened up with Silhouette from Naruto Shippuden playing as Orion and his friends were each shown one by one with Orion being last to indicate him being the main character. The word Ginga was sliced onto the screen with Hanashi being pushed underneath it. The word Orion was then shot underneath that as well with fire blazing around it right after. The song began with Orion looking over a beautiful part of the land as a female voice began to sing the main theme for the series known as Who I Am.
"Ready set go! My determination will rise and give me hope; (Andy walks up to Orion and sits next to him) Even though, there is so, much we do not know yet." Bella was jumping into a rain puddle while it was still raining, showing her bubbly natue. "Crossing that line. (Bella sees Sirius walking up to her) We all know there's no going back in time. (Sirius rubs Bella's head, making her smile) Even though, there is so, much we do not know yet."
Orion and Rigel were on a stage with Rigel farting his ABC's as he let out small green clouds for each one, making Orion laugh as the song continued. "Our passion, is burning, under the sun." Orion was shown to be crushing someone's skull, showing a dark expression on his face as he did so. "Yeah my skin is, glistening. (Orion lets out an evil grin, showing that he can be merciless when he wants to be) From the, sweat dripping from my (Orion punches the guard, possibly killing him as he does so) face!"
Ciara was watching as Orion slashed through an entire army of evil doers, staying out of sight as to not be seen by him. "As time will pass, I believe, (Ciara seems to be cautious when watching Orion's skills) there are many things that we may forget; (Orion continues to slash the army members into pieces as well as wiping them all out in no time) But I won't, lost the sign, of who I am."
Orion and his friends were shown to be braving some kind of snowstorm with Orion holding Andy's paw tightly so he doesn't fall behind. "It's not exactly that I don't care, but I won't let my memories be bare. And that's why, I must find, out who I am."
Orion was dodging Hydra's punches and kicks while in a blood red aura without moving as the song wrapped up. "So gracefully, we're fluttering, like dancing leaves. Just know I won't, ever abandon you!" Orion aimed a punch at Hydra as the wolf did the same, capping off the intro theme and having the title return with a dark aura along with Orion's sillhouette next to it.
Orion was still standing where he awoke in his new form with everyone else still looking in awe and shock. Orion stood there, emotionless and full of a lust for blood. As he stepped forward, he jumped past everyone at what looked like lightspeed, looking at Hydra without any fear in his soul. He didn't feel anything, and instead, found that he was more than capable of handling Hydra now. Hydra looked at Orion and saw how lifeless and fearless he was, being ready for any kind of attack Orion was planning on throwing at him.
But Orion didn't attack. Instead, he just stood there, leading to Hydra smiling confidentelly as he dashed at Orion, who dodged his punch with a simple head move. This amazed everyone with Hydra being shocked, and Orion didn't even smirk. This was something that surprised Andy, since he knew fully well that Orion was far too cocky to not smirk at least once during battle. He then remembered what Ciara said as soon as she saw Orion in his new form. "What was that you said Ciara? Bloodlust?"
"It's the form Orion just activated." Ciara explained, being fully aware of how the Bloodlust worked, and what it was capable of. "Depending on how much the Bloodlust cares for someone when taking a blood sample from them, it'll increase their power by an extreme amount. Funny enough though, when you take your OWN blood, it'll turn you into this, filling you with unthinkable powers and an emotionless body to destroy your enemies with, no matter how you feel about yourself. That's because the Bloodlust has black blood, and that's twice as strong as red blood."
Andy found this information to be useful and watched as Hydra aimed a roundhouse kick at Orion, who dashed past Hydra at light speed after dodging it. Hydra looked back with Orion turning around as Hydra noticed some blood on his cheek, indicating that Orion managed to strike him slightly. Hydra wiped the blood from his cheek and went into his maximum power, knowing he had to hit Orion at all costs. "I'm not going to let some bratty Akita defeat me! I'll kill you all before that happens! (Dashes at Orion) I'll send you to hell!"
Orion punched Hydra in the face just as rock music started playing, sending Hydra into the sky without any effort. Hydra went flying until he stopped himself, glaring down at Orion, who still wasn't showing any signs of backing down. Hydra became furious and shouted at him to indicate that he wasn't going to lose easily. "I won't let a child make a mockery of me!" Hydra dashes down at Orion at max speed with Orion dodging it by jumping up and then stomping back down, stopping as soon as he was right above the ground and landing safely.
Hydra aimed multiple punches and kicks at Orion, who dodged them all with swift movements, as if he could see them from behind. Sirius started taking note of these skills, finding that they would help a lot in the future, and feeling that they were too fastinating not to study. Hydra sped up his punches and kicks with Orion's dodges shown in slow motion with him only making slight movements of the head, slight movements to the side, with the last one having him duck.
Hydra roared to the sky in anger as he dashed up to the sky, charging up a Ki beam that he knew Orion would have to take head on. "This is an attack that'll destroy you if you decide to dodge it! (Cups paws together and puts them to his right) And even if YOU survive everything else will be destroyed along with life itself!" Orion turned around and saw the Ki beam, seeing no reason to show fear as Hydra put his paws in front of himself. "GALACTIC HYPER BEAM!" Hydra launched his Galactic Hyper Beam, revealing it to be an exceptionally large purple blast.
Orion stood perfectly still, not thinking about dodging this one, and instead deflected it with a single swipe as the music stopped. This sent the beam flying, which shocked Hydra so much that his heart stopped for a big, and everyone else was astonished with how much raw power Orion had within him. It was unlike anything any of them had ever seen before, and it left Hydra feeling more fear than he ever felt he would be able to show inside of him. "He...he deflected it. My ultimate attack."
Orion was still showing a lack of emotion, which led to Hydra going into some kind of dark galactic form with spikes all around his aura. He then screamed at the top of his lungs as he called down to Orion, refusing to let him defeat him. "I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE POWER IS! THIS IS THE FORM OF A TRUE RULER! THIS IS THE CHAOS NOVA TRANSFORMATION! PREPARE TO DIE!" The Ultra Instinct theme from Dragon Ball Super played as Hydra dashed down at Orion, who grabbed his full power punch and crushed his paw.
Hydra cried out in pain as Orion punched his face repeatedly, hitting him with swift and powerful precision. He stopped once Hydra started bleeding from his face wanting him to suffer more before he killed him. He put his foot on his chest and pushed donward, sending Hydra into the ground and aiming a Ki beam at him, blasting his stomach at full force. Once the smoke cleared, Hydra was shown to have a powerful bruise on his stomach. Orion then kicked Hydra to the side, sending him through multiple buildings at high speed.
Hydra dashed at Orion, who swated him to the side and sent him past everyone, making him crash head first into a tree. Hydra crashed right through the tree and ended up knocking down a whole bunch of them with the last one thankfully missing Orion's house. Hydra dashed back to where Orion was and saw that he was still standing there, creating a giant Ki orb and launching it at him, only for Orion to take it head on and be shown with no damage taken when the smoke clears.
Hydra dashed down at Orion and aimed more punches and kicks at him, going at a faster pace with Orion still able to dodge every single one. Hydra then became furious again, glaring into Orion's eyes as he shouted at the top of his lungs. "STOP BEING BETTER THAN-" Orion slapped Hydra, sending him across the ground and into the crater he created when he transformed into the Bloodlust. Hydra got himself out of the ground and glared at Orion, launching multiple Ki beams at him, which he blocked with a single arm.
Hydra dashed at Orion at max speed, only for Orion to duck and scratch Hydra's stomach, making Hydra lose balance and drag across the ground. When he got up, Orion continued to look at him with his emotionless expression, leading to Hydra getting up and walking over to him. Hydra held his paw out, but Orion saw that Hydra was lying, sensing false information all around his aura. So he struck, hitting Hydra right in the stomach and piercing right through it.
Hydra howled in pain with Weed looking in horror at what his son has turned into, unable to believe the pain he'd given him. 'Was this really what I turned him into when I put the Bloodlust inside of him?' Weed held his heart to supress all the pressure he's being put under right now, catching the attention of Koyuki, who kneeled down to comfort him. "I did this to him. I put the Bloodlust inside of him." Weed looked at his son and almost cried, wiping his eyes before he could do so. He felt horrible for what he did to his son. "It's all my fault."
"Don't say that Weed." Weed looked up at Koyuki, who was giving him a serious look, which reminded Weed of the time Koyuki was cold and easy to piss off. "You did what you could. You sacrificed a perfect life for your child for a whole town of canines; it was a hard choice. And the way I see it, Orion was able to cope just fine, proving to be a capable warrior who could even grow up to be as strong as you." Koyuki smiled, knowing Weed tried his best. "You can still be a good father to him."
Weed smiled, glad that Koyuki was there for him, and that she said what she did, even though he partially disagreed with her. Weed was still making quick work of Hydra, smashing his head into the ground and blasting him, making him bleed from it as he then threw Hydra into the air. Orion took out a needle and threw it at Hydra, shouting something in a distorted voice. "One thousand, bleeding, needle, death!" Orion aimed his paw at Hydra, who was frozen with fear as Orion then snapped his fingers, making a thousand needles fly out of him.
Hydra cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, leading to Orion looking back at the others and gave a thumbs up. He then went out of his power, falling to his knees with Andy running up to him and helping him up. Orion smiled to Andy, who smiled back with Orion then walking over to Hydra as Weed, Sirius, Rigel, Bella, Koyuki, Kotetsu, Bon, Yamabiko, Ciara, Melody, and Jerome, all went to see what Orion was going to do as Orion then took his sword out.
Orion looked at the others, who were unsure of what Orion's intentions were, with Orion then stating them clearly. "I'm going to kill him. You may wanna leave. This is gonna get messy."
Weed took a step closer, not wanting to see Orion do anything he might regret. "You don't have to do this Orion. He can't move anymore."
"Let him do it Weed." Koyuki responded, knowing Orion was doing what he thought he had to do. "Hydra can't be allowed to live."
Weed sighed, knowing Koyuki was right, but also wanting this to be handled in a different way. "There isn't a single thing about this son of a bitch I don't hate, but that doesn't make this right."
"I'm staying." Andy declared, surprising everyone as Andy walked up to Orion and looked at him with determination in his eyes. "Normally I'm not one for watching violence or killing, but after all Hydra's done, I should've brought some fuckin popcorn."
Bella looked at Koyuki, who looked down at her without a care in the world for what anyone else thought. "I'm staying too. No one ruins my daughter's party."
Lydia walked up to Andy and grabbed his arm, refusing to allow him to see this. "Cmon Andy. I'm not letting you see this."
Andy moved his arm away from his mother, wanting to see Orion kill Hydra as badly as possible. "It's not your decision." Lydia was shocked by this but respected her son's decision, walking off with the others with Ciara and Koyuki staying behind to watch Hydra die.
Orion looked into Hydra's eyes as he raised his sword, ready for what was about to happen. "Say hello to Satan for me mother fucker." Orion smashed Hydra's face in with the blunt end of his sword, making Andy flinch upon the first few strikes, but then he gave a gold look as Orion continued, not wanting to miss out on a second of this. Orion continued bashing his skull in with Andy watching, not shedding a tear or letting out a cry. When Orion was done, he took out some of Hydra's brains and ate it, walking up to Andy with a smile. "Let's go."
Orion and the others walked off with Ciara being amazed by what she just saw. "Bloodlust or not, Orion's ruthless without a doubt." Koyuki had to agree with Ciara's words, hoping Orion would stay with them in the future.
The next day.
Orion was coping with what just happened the other day at Bella's birthday, wondering how he went into that form. He felt something strange when he went into it, and it was even more so due to the fact that he didn't even plan on going into it. He knew what caused him to go into it, but he didn't intend on using it, especially since he didn't know how. And even then, he still went out of his way ot kill Hydra. He liked killing Hydra, but he didn't know what to say about the form. Andy was sitting next to him, and he asked him about it. "What was it like to watch?"
Andy looked at Orion, being unsure of what he meant at first, but then caught onto what Orion was asking about. "It felt...strange." Andy looked out Orion's window as he explained what it was like watching Orion in that form. "It felt like you had all of your life taken out of you, and it turned into an emotionless monster that had the sole purpose of making those he didn't like pay. I don't know what it's like to feel that, but I don't know if I ever want to. It sounds crazy."
Orion nodded in understanding, taking a sip from a cherry as he thought about it. He knew it was something worth fearing, but he also knew it could help him and the Ohu army. "Maybe I should use it more. Not as a main weapon, but as something I can use when the battle gets rough." Orion then realized he didn't know as much about Bloodlust as Ciara did and decided to see if she said anything when he went into it. "Did Ciara mention anything when I went into the Bloodlust transformation? Like, how I could use it without using my black blood."
"Now that ya mention it, she did say that black blood was stronger than red blood." Andy thought for a moment and came to a conclusion that he felt Orion could agree with. "Maybe if you took a sample of red blood to activate the Bloodlust transformation, you would be able to control it better. I'd be happy to let you use mine."
"Thanks Andy, but I don't know if it'd be worth it." Orion admitted, not wanting to risk making his best friend bleed to death. "If I ended up taking too many doses from you then you'd eventually lose all your energy and die out. I don't want that to happen to you, especially since your blood isn't as strong as mine. But if we do this, then make sure it's not too big."
Andy nodded with a smile, knowing he and Orion would be able to make this work without much issue. "You can count on it." Orion and Andy fist bumped and then Orion's stomach growled, leading to Andy knowing exactly what it was about. "Wanna order a pizza?"
Weed was sitting on the roof of the Ohu army headquarters as he thought to himself about Orion's Bloodlust form. He was unsure of what to think after having seen Orion turn into that...thing. It made him feel sick to his stomach, knowing that his son could turn into something like that, and that the real him wasn't much different. It was clear to Weed that Orion had a lust for blood, and it was all because of him. He wanted to help Orion, but he wasn't sure of how he could, looking up to the sky as soft music started playing.
Weed clenched his fist as he then started to sing My Son. "What have I done, to Orion? How could I do this to my own son? Is it worth it, to save this town, if all I see is bloodthirst all around? Sometimes I wonder, could I have been better? Or did I do the best I could? Cause Either way, I failed my son, I didn't act as much as I should."
Weed stood up on all fours as the wind blew past him, remembering what he did before he had his children. "Before I was a dad, I met all of my friends. I learned how to kill and how to make amends. The former never really appealed to me." Orion started to have flashbacks of all the ups and downs he had with his friends back when he was traveling to Ohu. "I know it was never, as easy as could be. But that's how many most likely wanted it to be. I loved those memories, and I still do today. And I wouldn't replace them in any way."
Weed sighed as the flashbacks ended and he sat back down, not knowing if it was worth it to have Orion feeling miserable. "But have those memories affected me now? Did I do my family justice? Have I proven worthy to protect them? My wife, my children, I can't take this." Weed clenched his fist after looking at his paw, wishing he could've been there for Orion. "I feel like I failed him, but I don't know for sure. Is this what he wants, to the very core? Have I failed him? Have I failed...my son?"
Kotetsu came up onto the roof and walked up to Weed, noticing how down he looked and sat down next to him. Weed saw Kotetsu, who smiled at him, knowing that Weed would be strong enough to move past this on his own, and even faster with his friends by his side. Weed smiled at the sight of Kotetsu's company, glad to have his best friend, and adoptive brother, by his side at all times. The two of them looked up to the sky and stared at the bright moon, knowing it would help guide them to the best future they could manage.
The next day.
Melody was riding a skateboard up to Orion's house, getting off as she arrived and kicking her board up to grab it. She then ran up to Orion's doorstep and knocked on the door, hoping Orion would be here, since she was worried about him after the Bloodlust thing. Sirius ended up answering the door, making Melody hope that Orion was home. "Hi Sirius. Is Orion home?"
"Yeah, he's here." Sirius saw Orion and Andy playing video games on the couch as Orion chugged down an entire can of soda and crushed it with his head. He then looked back over to Melody, being a bit confused at the fact that she came over. "I wasn't aware you were friends with him."
"I'm not, but that's why I'm here." Melody then explained her reasons for coming by in greater detail. "See, I've talked to him and Andy a few times in the past, and they're both really cool, so I think I'd make a great addition to their friend group." Sirius smiled and happily allowed Melody inside, making her smile and walk inside as she walked over to Orion and Andy. "Hi Orion, hi Andy." Hearts started floating above Andy's head as Melody started to ask Orion something. "So Orion, how're you holding up after that whole situation at Bella's birthday."
Orion thought for a moment and wasn't exactly sure how he felt about it now, knowing he was no longer conflicted about it after yesterday. "I'm not too sure. I feel a variety of emotions actually. Most of them involve me being releaved and me being super excited to use it again."
"Ya don't say." Melody started to wonder how Orion's Bloodlust form would affect him in the future. "I just hope it doesn't end up hurting you too much in the future. You deserve better than to end up dying because of a form you know barely anything about."
Orion chuckled a bit, appriciating Melody's concern for him, but also finding it to be quite cute that she thought he would get hurt from it. "I'll be fine Melody. In case you forgot how awesome I am, just look back at the time I destroyed that mech." Melody shrugged, feeling she couldn't argue with that, and decided to go ahead and watch Orion and Andy play their game. She was glad to see that Orion was doing okay, not wanting him to lose control due to his Bloodlust form. For now though, she felt he would be okay.
Orion and Sirius were sparring outside as Andy and Melody watched them with Andy feeling anxious about sitting next to Melody. He always had feelings for her, but he never actually spoke to her without Orion being in the picture. He decided to just get it over with and start a conversation. "So. Thanks for checking in on Orion earlier. Not a lot of canines care about him nowadays outside of his family."
Melody started to feel bad for Orion as she looked down at the ground. "I noticed. He's been mistreated really hard, and I don't blame him for the state he's in." Melody got frustrated, unable to believe what happened to Orion. "Damn it, it's not fair! Orion shouldn't have to suffer for something he didn't even know about until a couple months ago."
"Yeah, I feel ya there." Andy had to admit, he couldn't relate to what Orion was feeling, but he could relate to Melody's frustration when it came to Orion being treated wrong. "I'm sure you heard about how last month, Kyoshiro broke his leg in a fight." Melody nodded her head yes, confirming that she'd heard of this event. "I'm just glad the two are still on good terms. The last thing Orion needs is to lose more friends, even if one of them is a dickhole."
"Andy?" Andy looked at Melody, who looked at him with concern in her eyes, showing that she cared a great deal for Orion. "Promise me you'll never leave Orion's side. He needs you. When he ends up reaching his breaking point, you'll be all that's left for him. You have to be there when he needs you. The last thing I want is for him to turn evil."
Andy smiled, knowing this would be a promise he could keep no matter the circumstances. "I wasn't gonna leave his side anyway." Melody hugged Andy with a smile, making Andy blush and freeze for a bit. When Melody pulled Andy away, he saw her smile and couldn't help smiling back. He hoped he and Melody would get together one day, not wanting to ruin this moment, or any that might come up later on.
Kotetsu was walking up to the Ohu army headquarters and was about to open the door as he saw Ciara sitting on the bench that was on the porch. Kotetsu had to admit that he was surprised to see Ciara there with the German Shepherd walking up to him with a stern look on her face. "About Orion."
"Look Ciara. I didn't ahve anything to do with what Orion went through back in Akita Prefecture." Kotetsu assured Ciara, hoping that wasn't the reason she came here. "He's my nephew, and I'm looking out for him at all costs."
"Just hear what I'm saying." Ciara requested, and then she crossed her arms and got serious as she finished. "If you see Orion being tormented, and you don't do anything to defend him, we're going to have problems." Kotetsu nodded in understanding, not wanting to cross Ciara, mostly due to the fact that she could be useful to them. "Anyway, I'm thinking of joining the Ohu army. I've been studying you guys a lot lately and I feel like I could be useful to the team. If you know where Weed is then don't lie about his current location."
Kotetsu chuckled a bit, seeing no reason to hide Weed's current location from Ciara, since he didn't see her as a threat. "He's out fishing with Mel and Kyoshiro right now, but he should be back in a bit. In the meantime, I should be a good host and allow you to help yourself to everything in our fridge." Ciara raised an eyebrow with a smirk as Kotetsu opened the door, showing that he wasn't joking about this. "We have some of Cross's best dishes."
Ciara took a liking to this offer and smiled, walking inside as she gave Kotetsu a warning. "If this is a trap, I'll kick your ass." Kotetsu laughed a bit and went inside as he closed the door and went into the kitchen with Ciara.
Orion and Andy were walking through the forest as Orion thought about his Bloodlust form and how he'd use it. He knew he had to be careful with it, and that he could only use it as a last resort, but he had to know the right time to use it. If he used it at the wrong moment, it could lead to all kinds of problems. He looked at Andy, and knew he would have to protect him as well. "Andy." Andy looked at Orion, who decided to get striaght to the point. "If for any reason, I join the side of evil, and I can't be convinced to come back, I want you to be the one to put me down."
Andy was shocked to hear this as Orion stopped and gave him a serious look, knowing Andy was the one he could trust most. "I know this is a lot to take in, but you're the only one I can trust with this. You're the only one I can't see backstabbing me in any way possible, and I don't want that to be taken for granted." Orion clenched his fist and gave Andy a concerned look, hoping he would be able to grenat his request. "Please. End my life, if I become evil to change."
Andy was unsure of how to take this, especially since it was his best friend telling him to kill him if he couldn't bring him back. It was fucked up in the head, and he knew it would be insane to even think about accepting, but he also knew that Orion was just looking out for him. He looked at Orion and stated what he thought. "I don't know how well I can promise that Orion. Having to put down my best friend, it's something I may never recover from. And yeah, I saw you kill Hydra, but still. I don't think I would be able to do it."
Orion smiled, still trusting Andy, and knowing he would never abandon him under any circumstnaces. "Okay." Orion hugged Andy, who wrapped his arms around him and smiled with the two embracing each other with all of their hearts. They knew they would be best friends until the end of time, and that under any circumstance, they would be right by each other's side until the very end of it all. An illusration of the two smiling as they hugged was shown as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off, and wrapping up the first season.
Bleach ending 10 Sakura Biyori played during the credits with the illustration of Orion and Andy hugging being all that was shown. "Sometimes I wonder, why things are like this, why my blood is tainted black, with no bliss. Has this fact occured, to anyone else, or is it all just me sulking, with little hope. Very few canines understand me. Some others see me as as sadistic twerp. And although I won't lie, I truly love martial arts, I want them to see, that there's, more to me. My flaws aren't to ignore, but they aren't all I am. There is much, more to me, then this scar here. I blame no one for, being fearful, but I wish they could see. Once they see my, caring side they'll, get past the evil in me."
