I admit I haven't update in awhile. I have a good reason though. kinda.
Forte: He got hooked on Metal Gear 2: Sons of Liberty.
Beelzemon: Although I did get a fic idea from it. all I'm saying is that you can't call Raiden a pansy after the events in it.
Forte: HEY! Snake would kick his ass!!!!!!
Beelzemon: Normally, I'd agree. but let's see if he even would THINK about it in the fic.
Forte: OI VEY! Let's just give the people the update.
Chapter 15 - Orion's weakness.
After the group outside recovers, Brad, Naomi, and Jack get the main gate open.
"Sorry we're late." Naomi told them.
"Boy, am I sorry about that." Leon commented.
After spending several minutes trying not to get lost, they finally find the security control room. It was empty, strangely enough, but the hybrids didn't find anything unusual after searching it. Bill took his place at a control panel, and Jamie stayed with him to help. The others then went off to find Orion, and stop him.
"Where is that creep?" Leena wondered.
"Got me." Jack told her.
"Hey. am I the only one that." Brad said.
Brad was cut off as an emergency shutter sprang to life, threatening to close off the path ahead of them. Harry quickly went to one side, and Vega the other. They both strained to keep the large doors from shutting while the others went past. When they all were safely one the other side, the two let go, letting the shutters slam shut.
"What was that?" Vega asked Bill.
"There's a tiny problem. Orion apparently changed some of the security codes after I ran away. He's pretty good at it too. He programmed the shutters to seal if one wrong pass code was entered. Luckily, they'll open when I get it right."
"It felt like I was trying to budge a whale. Ow. my arms." Harry complained.
"It's not THAT bad." Vega said.
Then Leena started toward Vega. Naomi and Brad grabbed her tail.
"Can't you wait until AFTER we're done?" Naomi asked.
"I just."
Now Leena was cut off, this time by the shouting of a woman down the hall. They all headed toward it, and soon found themselves in a large laboratory. They hid as best as they could, and watched the scene unfold. A hybrid cheetah-woman was shouting at someone in a white coat. The man turned around, revealing an unusually youthful face. His brown hair that hung down, covering his left eye.
"Will you calm down? I told you that I'm running tests on the child. He's."
"I don't care HOW long I'm forced to stay here, OR like this, just leave my child alone!"
"I'm trying to say something, so shut up and let me finish!"
"WHERE'S MY BABY!?!?!?!?!"
"THE CHILD IS HUMAN, AND I NEED TO FIND OUT WHY!!!!!!!!!!"
"I WANT MY CHILD!!!!!!!!!"
"LISTEN TO ME DAMN IT, OR YOU'LL BE ANOTHER ONE OF MANY I'VE KILLED!!!!!!!!!!!"
The hybrid fell silent for a moment, her face pale.
"YOU'RE the one that killed all those people."
"Yes. over 4000 I believe."
The hybrid tried to pounce on the man, but the man had spun around, and fired six bullets from a Magnum into her. She fell to the floor, dead.
"Now WHY did you think I was called 'Orion'? I am a skilled hunter. no. skilled murderer in your opinion. Why did you do something so stupid?"
Then a baby started crying. Orion went over to a painting of a dragon, and slid it over to reveal a baby hidden behind it. Orion picked up the child, and slowly rocked him.
"Sorry I had to leave you in there so long."
The baby stopped crying, and giggled.
"You remind me of my baby brother, before my mother killed him. She abused us. but I'll never do that to you."
The group watched with puzzlement as Orion continued to cradle the infant, talking to him like he was Orion's own son.
"I even have something to remember her by."
Orion then brushed away the hair covering his face, showing that his left eye had a patch over it.
"My father cared about us though, just like I care for you."
The baby stopped giggling, and started playing with Orion's patch. When the baby moved it, there were signs of Orion's eye having been gouged out.
"Don't do that. I don't want you to get introduced to mutilation at such a young age."
Orion then put the patch back into place.
"My father introduced me to hunting early on. and I turned out a murderer. I don't want to spoil your innocence."
The baby turned his head toward the painting of the dragon that once concealed him.
"You want to know about the painting? Maybe later. but for now. you need to sleep."
Then the baby yawned, and fell asleep. Orion then placed the infant in a basket, and got a slide.
"I told your mother I needed to run a couple tests. and she helped me a little."
Orion then placed the slide next to a small cut on the child, made from when the baby's mother hugged him. He collected the blood, and then placed a band-aid on the cut before placing the slide under a microscope. Orion then sat down, and took a vial out of his coat. It was airtight, and had blood of some kind in it. Then Orion looked at the painting again.
"When I die, I must remember to thank my ancestors for passing this on. and for watching over me."
Then Orion placed the vial in a small safe, and locked it. Then he stood up, picked up the basket with the child in it, and left.

"Orion's a bit weird, don't you think?"
"Given his past, I'd say that's as sane as you could hope for."
"What happened to him anyway?"
"It's best to leave that alone."
Forte: . What IS the deal with the guy?
Beelzemon: Can't you put it together from what he said?
Forte: I mean. WHY does he act so strange?
Beelzemon: . As I said.
Forte: Oh good GOD!!!!!! TELL ME!!!!!!!!!
Beelzemon: No.
Forte: He got hooked on Metal Gear 2: Sons of Liberty.
