Disclaimer: Well this is a story I've been meaning to write for a while now. In spite of that, I couldn't find a better title for the series premiere than this. Ah well. It's what happens in the chapter that matters. Enjoy!

Ginga Hanashi Orion

Season one Episode one: The Descendents of Weed Part one

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The screen lit up to the final moments in the final battle from Weed and Hougen with Weed walking to Hougen from his Ohuzamiha. A narration was heard to tell the story to show this being a sequel. "Weed. A living legend." Weed stopped in his tracks as the narrator spoke again. "The savior of Ohu." Weed clenched his fist and punched Hougen, sending him out of the planet. "After a long journey, he saved the land of Ohu from Hougen, a pure sadist (The Ohuzamiha beam vanishes) who wanted to make the dog race rise up against all others."

The scene changed to Weed holding some kind of dark energy inside of him. "After some time however, the town of Ohu, which Weed and everyone else made from their own hands, encountered a dark being, one of which no one knew the name of." Kotetsu put his paw on Weed's shoulder, looking at him with a supportive smile. Weed smiled back as the narrator finished up this scene in the recap. "It wasn't easy to do, but Weed knew it must be done."

Weed was shown in some kind of dark void as he arrived at a pillar of sorts. "It was something he regretted immensely, (Weed holds back his tears and clenches his fist) but he knew he had to do it for the safety of Ohu." Weed punched the pillar and it then went to him looking down at an infant Akita, red fur and mark of sorts on the right side of his face. Although he showed no paricular emotion, he still had a roaring energy inside of him. "This, is the story of Orion. (Screen fades to black) The holder, of this new power."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The screen lit back up with Orion running through a trail of the forest with Andy running with him as cheerful and peaceful music played. The word Ginga came onto the screen with Hanashi then firing a bullet right there. The word Orion was then cut open on the screen as the words then broke off. Orion and Andy were shown in their town with Orion running up a building and Andy following behind him. Orion waited for Andy to get up, which didn't take long, and Andy lunged at him with a smile with Orion then blocking his punch and Andy blocking his kick.

Orion and Andy blocked a few more punches with Orion then grabbing Andy's fist and throwing him over him. Andy grabbed onto a building Orion threw him towards as Orion jumped down with Andy jumping down as well. The residents of the town watched them run off with some being fearful upon the sight of Orion. Orion ignored this and jumped onto a building and diving down at Andy, who blocked his kick, only to then get kicked forward.

Andy regained his balance and ran foward as Orion ran faster to catch up, which he succeeded in. The two of them continued running onward as they then saw the location they were heading for and went full speed ahead. Bella was sitting in the sand pit she usually played in with Andy flying over her and then Orion jumping off her head to catch up with him. Bella shrugged it off with a giggle and went back to her sand castle making as a bug was then shown on the side of her bucket as she tapped it a couple times.

Rigel was enjoying his mud bath as he saw Orion and Andy fighting, cheering on one of them as he watched. As they continued fighting, Sirius came out from one end of the forest as Orion ended up flying towards him off screen, ducking under him and allowing him to jump off a tree and back over to Andy. The two of them collided a punch with Orion winning the collision by kicking Andy back into a tree.

Andy rubbed his head with Orion offering his paw with a smirk on his face. Andy laughed a bit and then he and Orion started laughing together, walking off as they then heard a scream from Bella. Andy seemed worried about this, caring an awful lot about Orion and his siblings. "Hey, isn't that your sister?"

Bella was still in the sand pit with the bug crawling on her face, leaving her unable to move. She couldn't help being frozen with fear upon the sight of this, and when the others arrived, they saw what was going on and Orion rolled his eyes as Rigel laughed. "So that's where my larva went." Rigel jumped down to Bella and put his finger down on her face, getting his larva off with Bella then rubbing off the part of her face the larva was on. "Sheesh Bella. It's not like it just spit on you."

"Well it feels like it did." Bella pushed the bug away and continued to keep it away from her. "Rigel, get that disgusting thing out of here. (The mosquito flies off) Larvae are disgusting and the mosquito kind is my least favorite bug in the world!"

"Aside from you, what're the other disgusting things in the world?" Orion asked as he walked up to her with Andy and Sirius in four leg mode just like the other two as Bella then pulled out some kind of board to explain.

"Dead body courpses, (Pulls out another slide) demons, (Pulls out another slide) and blood sucking freaks!" Bella pushes the slides aside as she crosses her arms in a defensive way. "There are plenty of things I don't like and mosquitos are one of them."

Sirius put the mosquito in a jar as he spoke to Bella about the issue. "Well the first two I can assure you won't bother you Bella. (Looks at Bella) They lack the real world logic to exist."

"Yeah, and I don't see Hougen being fake." Orion responded as he walked up to Bella and handed her a card of sorts. "Don't be late." Bella looked at the card and seemed surprised to find what was on it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightime had arrived as Orion was waiting in the living room as Andy was preparing some food for in case they got hungry. Sirius and Rigel were waiting as well with Rigel questioning if inviting Bella was a smart decision. "You sure about this Orion? Bella's so cowardly that we could walk up to her and she'd be terrified."

"Honestly, part of the reason I invited her is cause I wanted to see her tremble in fear." Orion replied as he then snickered with Rigel as Sirius rolled his eyes.

"You guys really are harsh, ya know that?" Sirius spoke up. "The least you could do is TRY to help Bella."

"Why do you think I invited her dumbass?" Orion asked as he then continued. "Key word of me saying I wanted to see her tremble in fear is part, not so much so that I want her dead."

Bella came out of her room with Andy bringing out the food he got out and putting it in everyone's bags. "Glad to see you decided to come Bella. You like chocolate bars, right? You know, since we're fictional dogs and all."

Bella looked at the chocolate bars and took a liking to what she saw, licking her lips before making her reply. "I fucking love chocolate bars."

Cross was out on the porch with Jerome while discussing Orion. "Yeah, Orion can be bratty, but I get it. If most of the town hated me from my birth, I'd be a little bothersome myself. Not like I'd take his crap though." Orion kicked the door open with the others leaving and then all of them running off in four leg mode. "Hey guys, don't run off too far now!"

"I know Cross, ya old hag!" Orion called back, making Cross exceptionally mad as she called out to him.

"Orion, just who do you think you're talking to!? Get back here!"

Orion laughed a bit as he continued running off, taking Cross's temper into regard. "Old oni hag! Smelly green demon ogre lady in disguise!"

Orion laughed more as he ran off with Cross sighing as she spoke softly to herself. "That brat. Where does he get that kind of talk from?" Cross looked at Jerome, who nodded and jumped over the porch. "And if he tries anything, don't hesitate to discepline him."

"Of course." Jerome ran off in four leg mode with Cross sitting down and laughing a bit, finding Orion's toughness to be something of interest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion and the others were by some kind of rock wall as Orion moved some rocks and found a crab, much to his joy. "Yeah baby, ninth one!" Orion grabbed the crab and ate it up after his boasting and took a great liking to it, impressing Andy, who'd just found his first one. He seemed a little bummed out by it, but then Orion gave him some words of encouragement. "Hey dude, you'll find some more eventually. (Continues looking through the rocks) I just happen to know all the best places, since I've been here before."

Bella was looking for crabs at the bottom as she found something that looked like a crab. When she moved the rock to grab it though, it seemed to be preparing for her to come down. So she called up to Orion. "Hey Orion, what do I do if it's looking like it's gonna pinch my paw!?"

"Oh, you found one!?" Orion called down. He then gave an explination on what to do. "Just grab it and eat it super quick or something. That's what I usually do." Bella did as Orion said, only to get pinched viciously and to scream in pain. This caught the attention of Sirius, who noticed her exclaiming to get it off. Luckily Orion was able to shoot the crab from afar, killing it and finding his tenth crab. "Yeah, you may need some speed for that too." Orion ate his tenth crab and enjoyed it to a very high extent.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius was bandaging up Bella's paw as the pink Akita was close to crying with Sirius consulting her. "It'll be okay Bella. (Finishes bandaging) Just let this rest for a day or two and it'll be perfectly fine. You can still walk on it, just don't punch with it." Bella nodded and hugged Sirius, who then saw Orion sliding down with his eleventh crab. "I think we should give Bella speed training before we bring her back."

"My thoughts exactly." Orion said proudly, and then a loud crashing sound was heard from over the house. "What the hell was that?" Orion ran off with Sirius nodding to Bella and picking her up on her back, jumping off with her as Orion jumped up to Andy and Rigel. "You guys ready for this?" Rigel and Andy nodded and ran off with Orion as Sirius and Bella ran from behind them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A giant robot mech was outside Cross's house with Cross walking up to it and speaking quite firmly with it. "Alright, I don't know what you're doing here, but I'm not gonna have it! Either leave now or get destroyed!" The mech raised it's giant arm at Cross, who found this thing escelating fast. "Maybe I should've just called for Kyoshiro." Jerome dashed and saved Cross just before the mech hit her and set her down softly. She seemed surprised, but expressed her gratitude. "Thanks Jerome. How'd you get here so fast?"

"Oh, I never left." Jerome replied with a chuckle. "I saw the mech and figured you could use some assistance." Jerome senses Orion and the others coming back with Orion being shown spotting the mech and hiding from it. Orion then smirks and takes out his guns with Jerome being interested in seeing his skills. "Let's see how well Orion's been paying attention in martial arts school, shall we?" Cross nodded and ran over to the kitchen window, opening it up and jumping inside.

Orion walked up to the mech in two leg mode, just as the mech sensed his power and slashed at him just as he put his guns away and jumped back. The force of the wind was enough to launch the others back with Sirius holding onto Andy so he didn't fly away. Orion landed ontop of a tree branch and pointed his sword at the mech with a confident look on his face. "What? No crazy complicated backstory or long dialogue? Just straight to the point then. I like that." The mech aimed another slash at Orion, who jumped off as Sirius was looking for a weakpoint as rock music started playing. Just before it did though, Orion said this. "Let's rock baby."

Sirius called out to Orion after figuring out that the mech was especially weak to stomach attacks after three seconds. "Orion! If you slash it's stomach you should be able to finish it with ease!"

"Thanks Sirius, but I can handle this one hard way!" Orion backflipped over a slash from the mech and then saw that it was in a dog-like shape. Due to Orion's cockiness, he wasn't exactly ready to show fear just yet. "Sure is a fitting look." Orion then dashed at the mech and sliced it multiple times on a hind leg, making it flinch before standing up and going into two leg mode. Orion seemed more than impressed by this, letting off a laugh as he backed up. "Glad to see you've got some fire in you. Yeah you're at least sixty feet tall in that pose, but it's nice to get some fun here and there."

The mech aimed a swift kick at Orion, who grabbed it's toenail with his paw and scoffed at how easy it was. Orion then started running up the mech, who aimed a laser eye shot at him and he blocked it with his sword. The sword was then shown to have a golden coating to it, which was exceptionally rare. It gave the mech caution as it attempted to bite Orion, only for him to use his sword and launch a Ki beam into it's mouth.

The Ki beam went into the mech and went straight for it's heart, hitting it and damaging it greatly. Orion then backflipped and landed on the ground perfectly while also dodging the laser eyes of the mech. When he faced the mech, he commented on how weak of a fighter it was being and said something else about it. "Your size is a major part of your downfall. If you were faster, you'd have an easier time with me. Though maybe not. But you know what they say. (The mech raises it's leg) The bigger they are, (The mech lowers it's leg swiftly) The harder they (Orion catches the mech's leg as the music gets more intense) fall!"

Orion pulls the mech up into the air and then throws it at an insane speed, jumping up to it and slashing it into bits from the foot all the way up to it's face. This amazed the others, especially Bella, who'd never seen Orion in action before. It was a huge deal for her, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing. When Orion finished slashing, the music stopped, and he saw that he was near the town and jumped off, allowing the pieces to fall where they landed. The residents of the town were shocked and terrified with Orion walking out with a smile on his face.

Koyuki was leaving a store as she then saw Orion walking from the mech destruction, walking over to her son with a smile on her face. Orion was wiping his fur, making sure he didn't get too dirty from it, as he then heard his mother's voice after she walked up to him. "Someone's been paying attention in class."

"Yeah, well when you're gonna be a member of the Ohu army you might as well prepare yourself." Orion put his sword away and sounded rather cocky in his next few words. "And it's not like I can't be awesome before then."

The others arrived just in time to find that the mech had been completely slashed. Sirius seemed impressed by this factor, since Orion decided to go all in wrecklessly. Just then, the robot twitched a bit and Andy called over to Orion with confidence that he could take care of it. "Hey Orion! Looks like this bad boy's got a little more juice in him!"

Orion looked back at the robot to find a smaller version of it standing up, leaving Orion to turn to it with an excited look on his face. "Alright, now we're talkin!" The robot dashed at Orion, who dashed at it and kicked it into the wall. After he did so, another robot jumped out from the rubish, seeming to be leading to something. "Were you guys controlling that mech? (Looks at the robot with a smile) You didn't have to do that; outnumbering me would've been loads more fun."

The robot jumped behind Koyuki and attempted to slash it from behind, only for Koyuki to kick it's head off. The others then joined in on the action with Sirius turning to Bella. "Stay out of sight Bella. We can't risk you fighting with that paw." Bella nodded and sat down to watch the fight, hoping to get some enjoyment.

A bunch of other robots jumped out with the mech standing back up at about half the height it did before. Orion was more than pumped to see how this would go down as shown in his words. "Guess we didn't party hard enough yet. (Points his sword at the mech) Time for round two."

Orion and the mech charged at each other and Orion clashed his sword multiple times with the robot's claws as the music started up again. Orion then jumped back and put his sword away, taking out his guns and shooting the mech multiple times. The mech was more than capable of taking the bullets, but it was when Orion hit it in the eye where it started to have some trouble. This allowed Orion to pump his fist with excitement as he put his guns away and charged at the mech. The mech was able to see him with his remaining eye however, and charged a laser beam.

Rigel had just slammed a robot's head into the floor as the sound of the leaser beam from the mech was heard. When Rigel looked at Orion's battle with the mech, he saw that it was something that could be seen as exciting and cheered for Orion. "Yeah Orion! Fuck him up!"

Andy had just dodged a robot's kick and low sweeped it with Sirius kicking another robot into two others. Koyuki even got in on some of the action as she jumped up and dove down at two robots, slashing them both in half. "Nice to get back in the game."

Sirius saw Koyuki's move and gave her a thumbs up, indicating that he liked the move she pulled off. "Nice one mom!"

"Thanks. It runs in the family." Koyuki replied with a peace sign, and then another robot dashed up to her and she punched it in the face, making it fall over.

Orion had just kicked the mech in the face and backflipped, landing on the roof of a building and watching as the mech backed up. The mech then launched a bunch of missiles at Orion, who started jumping across them as the music got more intense. Just as Orion stabbed the mech in the head, he ended up getting caught in it's mouth, but stabbed it again to make it let go. The mech threw Orion aside though, but Orion was able to regain his balance as more missiles were launched at him. Orion then dashed over to the missiles and jumped on one.

Orion started riding on the missile while dodging the other ones, flying towards the mech. He exclaimed his excitement with a shout of joy and set his sights on the mech, jumping off the missile just before it hit and letting it explode. Just as Orion landed, Andy had finished off the last of the robots right before he ran over to Orion and gave him a hi five. "Nice work Orion! Just as skilled as ever!"

"Yeah, I know." Orion then looked back at the robot and walked up to it, noticing a mark on it. The mark said one word that caught Orion's attention. Hydra.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion and Andy were sparring in front of Cross's place as Orion was still thinking about the mark the robot had on it. After a few seconds, he asked Andy about it to see what he thought about it. "Hey Andy. (Blocks Andy's punch) About that mark we found the other day from that mech. (Andy blocks Orion's kick) Do you think it had anything crazy it was letting us in on?"

"Now that you think about it, (Blocks Orion's punch and aims a kick at him, which he dodges) it did seem odd to see that name put on there." Orion and Andy collided three punches as Andy said something else. "But if you ask me, I wouldn't worry about it too much."

Orion landed a punch on Andy that sent him to the floor and then he offered him his paw as he spoke up. "It just felt off to me. (Andy grabs his paw and he helps him up) I've never heard that name before. It sounded chilling." Orion and Andy walked over to Cross's house as they continued the dicussion. "I mean it's pretty clear the mech was sent by someone, but who? Was it one person or was it an entire army?"

Orion and Andy entered the house as Andy made his reply. "Well it's obviously not just one person, unless he's a super genius." Orion took out the mark so Andy could look at it, feeling he could find something useful in it. When Andy looked at it, he felt something similar to what Orion felt. "But whoever Hydra is, they know how to make mechs."

Orion and Andy both thought for a moment with Andy becoming cautious upon seeing Orion's determined look. "Orion, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking then I recommend not going through with it."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion and Andy were looking through some kind of book with Orion seeming determined to find Hydra in it. Andy didn't seem to take kindly to the idea, being that he knew what it could lead to. "Orion, as much as I'd love to help you find out what Hydra is, I don't think we're gonna find anything useful by looking in a book of legends."

"Well we have to at least try Andy." Orion replied as he continued searching. "Besides, maybe I can finally find an excuse for everyone in town to stop hating me. Oh, and (Picks up a remote and looks at the audience) here's the aftermath of that mech thing in case some of you impatient basterds aren't willing to wait until the next couple chapters. Why the writer chose to insult you is beyond me." Orion turned the Tv on to find Mel walking up to the mech destruction sight. "Bet you're glad to see Mel having a decent job. I'm happy for him, even though I'm a descendent of the one he traveled with."

Mel turned to the camera as he spoke to someone about the destruction that recently occured. "What do you think sir? Who could've sent this mech to attack Ohu, and why do you think they did it?"

"Honestly, I think the Bloodlust." The citizen replied. "And I tell you what, he's gonna do something to get someone else blamed for it."

"And do you have any evidence to support this claim? I know I'm no attourney, but I figured I'd ask."

"No, no evidence. I just figured considering that ever since the doctor thing he's been nothing more than a bratty anarchic waiting for something to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually killed the entire town."

Orion turned the Tv off and sighed as he hit his head on the back of the couch with Andy speaking to him with support. "It's not like they can hate you forever Orion. Once you join the Ohu army and help take down the bad guys they'll stop calling you that horrible name."

"It's not that they call me the name that bothers me, at least not completely." Orion replied as he sat up with Andy knowing what he was talking about.

"Hey now, we'll find out hat it means eventually." Andy stated with a smile willing to help Orion every step of the way. "You remember when we first met, right?" Orion nodded and smiled softly, remembering that fateful day. "Even after I repay my debt, I won't abandon you. Even when the rest of the world does." Orion hugged Andy with his friend doing the same, glad to have someone supporting him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion was sharpening his sword on the porch with Cross walking outside and setting a plate of pizza down for him. "I figured you'd be hungry. You were out here for a while now." Orion took the pizza slice and bit into it, loving the slice with Cross glad to see him alright after the mech thing. "So talk to me Orion." Orion looked at Cross, who seemed curious as to what he was thinking. "I overheard you saying something about the mech after you came home last night and I wanted to see what was up."

"You sure you'll be able to hear me well enough?" Orion asked with a smirk, and Cross rolled his eyes as he then continued. "Alright, fine. (Looks over the horizen) It's mostly the word I saw on the mark. I feel like I relate to Hydra in a sense." Orion bit into his pizza slice again and continued after he swallowed. "I guess a part of me feels that if I find Hydra, I'll find out why the town treats me so terribly." Orion laughed a bit after Cross gave a concerned look for him. "Not that I give a crap about any of those losers anyway. I just feel it could help."

Cross nodded in understanding and then asked Orion something in regards to his mark. "So you really don't remember how you got that mark? When we first met you said you got it when you were born, but I don't think that's the case."

"Beats me, I never bothered to ask my dad." Orion finished his pizza slice and then got a sour look on his face. "Not that he'd help anyway. The least he could do is TRY to come back from his mission and he's just avoiding me like a-." Just then Orion saw something in town and Cross looked with him as both of them were shocked to see a giant ship coming towards the town. Orion was excited by it as well, since it looked like a pirate ship. "Looks like I'm getting closer."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion and Andy were heading for the town as Orion spoke with confidence about the ship floating above it. "This is gonna get us closer Andy. Once I get on that ship, I'm looking for proof on who Hydra is, and why people call me Bloodlust." Andy seemed worried about Orion, who assured Andy with confidence that he'd be okay. "Hey, no need to worry. I'll be fine. (Pulls out a transceiver) Besides. I'll call you, or you call me, (Hands Andy the transceiver and pulls out one of his own) at anytime to check if the other's okay."

Andy smiled and nodded, chuckling a bit to himself while thinking about what Orion could do on the ship. "I wish I was as brave as you Orion."

"Dude, you've been wishing that ever since we became friends." Orion replied, leaving Andy to blush a bit at how often he apparently mentions it. "And don't worry. You'll get there one day, just not today. Cause it's the pilot and I gotta be the center of attention."

"Yeah, cause you're hogging he spotlight." Andy commented as he playfully shoved Orion, who did the same to him and the two of them laughed a bit before looking back up at the ship. Andy was more than confident that Orion would be okay, looking at him with a smile. "You'll call me, or I call you."

Orion nodded and fist bumped Andy, knowing perfectly well this would be a mission worth taking. "Let's speed up if we wanna stand by it." Orion and Andy ran off at max speed and went for the town, hoping for the ship to not take off before they got there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orion and Andy had just arrived at their hometown where they saw the ship still there with a bunch of dogs in armor jumping out. The town residents seemed fearful as most of them ended up getting pinned against the wall or ground by the armored dogs. Just as Orion and Andy arrived, Orion shouted to the armored dogs in rage. "Hey losers! Get lost so I can kick your leader's ass!" One of the armored dogs shot a bullet at Orion, who grabbed it and flicked it back at him, killing him in a second. "Yeah. Shouldn't have done that, don't ya think?"

Orion nodded to Andy and he ran over to the ship with the armored dogs standing in front of him. Orion was able to kick through them though, and one of the residents even called over to him, but for a different reason. "Oh great, just what we need, the Bloodlust!"

"Oh look, someone who's so weak he's lying down and doing nothing!" The resident shut up as Orion flew up to the ship and snuck in through a window to a room that looked empty. When he closed the window, he knew he had to find something he could use. "This could be my only chance to find out why people call me that name. I'm not gonna miss it, even if they outnumber me." Orion walked up to the door and opened it up, looking down the hallways and seeing no one walk by. He then walked down the hall as he thought to himself. 'You got this Orion. Don't let them stop you. You have to get that info.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be continued.
