Ginga Hanashi Orion

Season one Episode sixteen: How Orion met Andy

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

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 shown to be lying down on Cross's couch, looking about four years younger, as he sighed with boredom due to having nothing to do. He saw Cross cooking in the kitchen and walked up to her, wondering if she had any ideas on what he could do there. "Hey Cross, you know if there's anything to do around here? It feels like a cemetary but without the graves. And the zombies are all over the place, invisible, and waiting for someone to bite."

Cross snickered a bit, finding that to be a description she wouldn't want to see a reality of. "That'd be creepy." Cross put some cans of food up as she got back to her pasta bowl. "Well lunch should be ready in a bit. I just started though, so if you want something to do feel free to explore the house."

Orion walked past Cross and saw the cans of food that were put up and grabbed the can or brussel sprouts, throwing it out the window and surprising Cross. Orion took off his look of hatred from the brussel sprout can as he then explained why he did that when he looked back at Cross. "I hate brussel sprouts."

"Ah." Cross replied, having been informed that by Koyuki before the kids were dropped off. "Well there's a forest nearby, and your mom told me you liked exploring stuff like that, right?" Orion got excited when he heard that and jumped onto the counter, opening his mouth as Cross then answered the question he was about to ask. "If you promise to get home before lunch is ready, which should give you at least half an hour of exploration time, you can hed out there until I can buy a Tv for you to hook your video games up to."

"You got it!" Orion ran off and jumped out the window, smashing the brussel sprout can when he saw it and running into the forest. Cross wondered if Orion would be able to fend for himself out there, but then he figured it wouldn't be too big of a deal, considering he was Weed's second born child.

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

Orion was running through the forest as he looked around and was enjoying himself quite a bit. As he was walking around, he noticed a dark figure dash past him, making him confused, but he shrugged and continued onward. Just then, he heard the sound of someone screaming and wondered what that was all about. "There's a girl out here?" Orion ran to the direction he heard the screaming in and saw that a young German Shepherd about his age was being pinned to a tree by a dark figure. "Oh, it's a dude. Maybe he's transgender."

The German Shepherd was shivering with fear as the shadow leaned over to him with a creepy tone in his voice. "You shouldn't have come out here kid. Now I'm going to make your soul my own!" The shadow laughed, only for Orion to strike it right through the chest with a stick. The shadow fell and released the German Shepherd with Orion standing over it as the shadow glared at him. "You little brat! I was about to get another soul! I should just take yours!"

Orion struck the shadow in the head and ended his life, smirking as he stated these words to end off the shadow's life. "I prefer not turning into a demon, thanks." The German Shepherd was breathing heavily with Orion holding his paw out to him. "You okay there dude?" The German Shepherd grabbed Orion's paw and allowed him to help him up. "These soul snatchers aren't something you wanna mess with. If you wanna take them down yourself, do what I did and strike for the chest. That's where their weakpoint lies. Kind of like how humans work."

"Right. Thanks a lot." Orion nodded and walked off with the German Shepherd, who then introduced himself. "My name's Andy by the way."

"Nice to meet you Andy. I'm Orion." Orion and Andy looked at each other with Orion smiling to Andy, who felt a strange aura around him upon seeing Orion's smile.

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

Orion and Andy were walking through the forest as Orion brought up something that he thought Andy would be interested in. "Ya know, it's kinda funny Andy. Usually whenever I save someone's ass they run off in fear as soon as I help them up. Some of them say thanks, and some of them just stay silent, as if they lost their voice or something." Andy found that fact quite interesting indeed, as Orion predicted, with Orion then saying something else. "You're actually the first kid that lives right in the town to treat me like I'm a normal dog."

Andy smiled as he heard those words, glad he and Orion were getting off so well already. "I've heard all those rumors about you. And I don't think they're as true as every canine in town says." Orion nodded in understanding with Andy bringing something up himself. "And I've seen some of your good acts. You're clearly good deep down."

Orion scoffed with a smirk on his face, liking Andy's optimism. "You have optimism dude. I like that." Orion spawned some kind of dark Ki orb in his paw and showed it to Andy as he said something else. "But if the rumors are true, (Crushes the orb) I could kill all kinds of innocent canines in the blink of an eye."

Andy was a little creeped out by those words, but decided it wouldn't hurt to at least give Orion a chance. "Fair enough. At least let me tkae a chance at seeing the side you clearly showed when you saved me earlier." Orion nodded with approval as he and Andy arrived back at Cross's house with Andy recognizing it. "Hey, I know this place. My mom drives me up here whenever she's too busy with work."

"Heh. Funny coincidence. My mom did the same thing with me and my siblings today." Orion replied, finding that to be worth bringing up as he and Andy entered the house. "You probably know by now that my dad's the leader of the Ohu army."

"Yeah, I've heard about that." Andy responded, finding it interesting that Orion was more willing to kill than Weed was. "You're not really a lot like him morality wise." Orion looked at Andy with a snicker, getting his words exactly.

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

Orion and Andy were on the couch as the two of them ate some of Cross's spaghetti and talked about life. Orion was currently talking about something from a previous day with Andy listening to what he had to say. "So then Rigel threw Bella right into the mud pool, and Bella was freaking like crazy!" Orion started laughing with Andy thinking to himself about how he could be as brave as Orion was, wanting to have the courage he possessed. He hated how he was always a coward. Just then, Orion snapped his fingers in his face. "You awake dude?"

Andy flinched and nodded in response, noticing that Orion was smirking as he took another bite of his food. "Yeah, I'm awake. Great story."

"Oh, really. What'd I just tell you?" Orion asked smugly, catching Andy off guard as he tried to remember what Orion just told him. It wasn't too hard either.

"Something about a mud pool, right?" Orion nodded in response with Andy mentioning another part of the story. "And from what you told me, Bella seems like the type that doesn't like mud, or really anything that's outside her comfort zone."

"You'd be right about that." Orion shoved his food into his face, making Andy laugh as Orion then commented on something else. "Ya know Andy, before today I didn't really hang out with anyone my age, aside from my siblings. It's nice to have someone I can genuinelly talk to." Andy smiled in response, glad he could fill that part in for Orion. "Something else I should bring up actually, if you asked me to give you sparring lessons, I'd be more than happy to do so."

Andy decided to take this chance and instantly replied to Orion's offer. "That'd be awesome! When would our first lesson be?"

Orion thought of a good time for Andy's first lesson to start, knowing it would have to fit with where they lived. "I'd say the first time we both end up at Cross's house, since we don't know where the other lives just yet." Andy nodded in agreement, liking the idea as he continued eating.

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

Orion and Andy were in Orion's room at Cross's house as Orion lied down on his bed with Andy looking around. He found the room quite cozy looking with Orion taking a liking to it himself. "Yep, I knew I was gonna get one hell of a kick out of this room from the moment Cross showed it to me. I still gotta set it up a bit so it can fit me a lot better, but for now, I think I'll be good in here."

Andy sat down on Orion's bed with Orion sitting up as Andy wondered what they could do in there. "Whatya wanna do first? We have the whole day to ourselves unless you wanna do something with your siblings too."

Orion shrugged with Andy seeing a picture and jumping down to it, picking it up and seeing Weed with Orion with Weed giving a peace sign and Orion flipping off the picture. Orion grabbed the picture as he explained what it was about. "That's one of the few times I actually got to be close with my dad. It was only for a few seconds but it feels like a lifetime whenever I take the time to look at it." Andy nodded in understanding as Orion walked over to a boombox in his room. "Ya know, Cross did put one thing in this room that suited me. Let's rock baby!"

Orion turned the volume of the boombox up with Andy taking a liking to his style as Orion started pulling off some insane dance moves. Andy got into the rythem as well with a moonwalk, which Orion whistled to and called Andy out for. "You do that moonwalk Andy! Party like a pro!" Orion and Andy continued dancing and both of them were having a blast together.

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

The next day.

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

Orion was walking around the yard in his martial arts school as he saw Andy sitting by himself at a lunch table. He decided to walk on over to him, feeling they knew each other well enough already to sit with each other. "Any of the seats here free or are you waiting for the football team?"

Andy chuckled a bit at Orion's joke and allowed him to sit down, glad he had some company with him now. "I'm actually glad you came over here when you did. This is usually the time of day I try to make friends only to make myself look like a complete idiot."

"Then it's the best time for both of us." Orion saw something sitting beside Andy and decided to check out what it was, opening it up swiftly to reveal it was some kind of tabletop game. "Whoa, nerd alert. I didn't know you were into Warriors and Sadists. I heard this game has some super graphic killing methods."

"It caught my interest." Andy admitted, hoping Orion wouldn't mind playing it with him. "Wanna play it?" Orion looked down at the tabletop game and figured it'd be a good experience for him and Andy to have, having never played a tabletop game before himself.

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

Orion and Andy had just finished setting up the tabletop game with Andy making a character for Orion. "Alright. So we have three choices here." Andy set down three cards and explained which one was which. "The swordsman is the best with sword combat, and if you use him you're likely to get a few good head chops. The elf is the best with archery, so you can get some good long distance kills with him. And the wizard, my personal choice, has a more strategic outlook and is full of magical spells worth trying out. Which one do you wanna pick?"

Orion almost instantly picked the swordsman and slid that card over to Andy, knowing he would make an amazing blademaster. "I'm gonna slice these gnorcs asses off!" Andy laughed a bit with Orion thinking of the kind of sword he wanted. "And make the sword short, but strong. I want my kills to be swift and merciful so I can laugh in the faces of these rejects."

Andy chuckled nervously, being a bit creeped out by that second sentence, but he did as Orion requested. "Okay. Swift kills that are merciful so you can laugh in their faces. Interesting combo. Anything else? Like a name or something."

Orion scratched his chin and pounded his fist on the table, knowing the perfect thing to call himself. "Swordsman Orion the dick puncher!" Andy gave a confused look at Orion's vulgar name with Orion explaining what it meant. "I picked the swordsman, right? That means they've got a lot of power in their fists in case some douchebag pulls a dick move and swipes his sword away. And if he does that, I want the perfect opportunity to punch him right in the dick. Hopefully none of their wives will wanna file for a divorce."

Andy contained his laughter and put down the name Orion suggested, finding him to be quite the interesting companion to have. "I think it's safe to say we won't have to worry about their offsprings." Orion gave a confident grin with Andy introducing his character, a wizard in a red cloak. "This is Merlin, my fire wizard. He can burn any opponent to death. Just give him enough time and he can even destroy a forest prince made out of steel."

"Ha ha, nice!" Orion cheered, knowing Merlin would be a good companion to have. He then questioned something about Merlin's description. "Hold up. In pokemon fire types always beat steel types. Why's that such a huge shocker here?" Andy shrugged with Orion deciding not to ask for much detail. "Eh, whatever. I'm ready to kick some ass."

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

Orion and Andy were walking home together with the two of them talking about Warriors and Sadists. Orion was surprised with how the game turned out, finding it to be an incredible adventure. "It's like a video game only you don't have to hold a controller! We've gotta play that sometime in the future Andy. If Swordsman Orion and Merlin get wasted without a proper end then I'm gonna fuck my own shit."

Andy snickered at Orion's use of words as the two of them arrived at Orion's house. "You said this is where you lived, right?" Andy looked at the house as he and Orion walked up to it, finding it to be quite a beauty. "Sure is a cozy looking place. Kind of like what people in the country would make."

"You could say that." Orion entered the house and allowed Andy to enter as well with the two of them knowing they were gonna have a great time. "My dad actually made this place himself. If he ever got a second job I bet he'd be an architect." Orion and Andy sat down on the couch with Orion handing Andy the phone so he could call his mom, or dad, whoever he called. "Still, I guess being the Ohu army leader has it's perks."

"Like being able to boss everyone around?" Andy asked with sarcasm, which Orion happilly nodded yes to as Andy gave a call to his mom. "Hi mom. So, I'm at my new friend Orion's house, and I was wondering, since I'm already here, if we could have a sleepover together."

Andy's mother was on the computer as she replied to Andy's request on the phone, not seeing what could go wrong with it. "Well alright, just keep in mind that if he starts acting destructive you gotta come home. I'm not having you die just yet, and if you're at Cross's house, make sure your dad's there to protect you."

"Nah, we're at Orion's place for tonight. Bye mom, love you." Andy allowed his mother to say goodbye to him and hung up, making Orion wonder what the comment on Andy's father was about. "My parents are divorced."

"Ah." Orion grabbed the remote and turned on the Tv, looking for a good show as he then brought up something from Warriors and Sadists. "You didn't seem bothered by me mentioning the word earlier. You're pretty well restrained."

"I just don't see any reason it should break me down since dad's still in my life." Orion nodded in response, taking a liking to how Andy dealt with the fact that his parents split up.

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

Orion was setting up a place for Andy to sleep with Andy coming into the room and looking around with an impressed look. It was a lot more Orion than the room he had at Cross's house with a Tv, along with a console to play it on, and he also saw a collection of anime and manga on one shelf, which he was a bit surprised to see, but in a good way. "So you're an anime fan too I see. (Looks at Orion) What's your favorite one?"

"The Legend of Scooter." Orion answered, finishing up Andy's sleeping place, which Andy happily lied down on, as Orion walked over to the shelf and pulled out season one of The Legend of Scooter. He then walked back over to Andy and sat down on his bed as he put the disc into the console. "I like the pilot movie, Skate's Up, but this series is way more my style. The action, the intensity, the characters the story, it's all so incredible. And there couldn't be a better role for the protagonist than Scooter. He's so fun to be around."

Andy found this anime interesting from what Orion brought up from it, hoping it was as fun as he was hearing it was. Orion found the first episode and decided to start it up, knowing Andy would have the best time catching up with it. "Here's the first episode so you can get caught up properly. Watching Skate's Up is optional, while being caught up from the pilot episode, is mandatory." Andy nodded in understanding and sat up with Orion going to get some snacks. "I'll go get some food. I saw this season a million times so I can miss a couple minutes of it."

Andy watched the episode himself and was impressed by what he saw, laughing at this one joke that involved one Pomeranian mix dumping a bucket of water onto her sister while sleeping, which led to the elder sister's reaction. "Are you crazy!? I told you a million times not to wake me up like that!" Andy laughed a little more as the episode continued, finding the relationship between the sisters to be quite charming.

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

Orion and Andy were still watching the episodes of The Legend of Scooter with Scooter heard speaking on the Tv. "Tch. I don't care about taking over the world." About three passed by with Scooter's next line coming along. "I just don't like Glacier. That's all."

Andy looked up at Orion, being quite impressed with what he was watching. "Wow Orion. Just five episodes in and I'm already having a blast with everyone. And this battle just has so much epicness in it. Scooter and Nero are both awesome characters to see interact."

"That's the beauty of The Legend of Scooter." Orion replied, and then he raised a finger as he went into further detail. "Stories you think would be super cheesy, end up being thrilling rides of both suspense and action. Sure they take the stories of other seasons, I mean, the creator openly admitted to intentionally using similar story structure to Devil May Cry 3 Dante's Awakening. But it's still a blast to watch."

Sirius was reading a book on chemistry in his bed as he got a glimpse of the battle between Scooter and Nero. He'd seen some episodes of this show already, and while he hadn't seen every little detail he had to, he could still find some things to enjoy in it. This was one of them for sure. "I really like this fight scene."

"It's great, isn't it?" Orion was so engaged in the fight scene and couldn't help getting a tad bit closer to the screen. "I almost don't wanna go to sleep tonight. (Looks at Andy) Hell, let's just binge watch the entire season and enjoy life. Then whenever we wanna watch season two together, we won't have to worry about continuity." Sirius rolled his eyes while smiling, knowing Orion and Andy were going to have quite the wake up call.

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

Orion and Andy were sleeping with Orion hanging from his bed while lying on his back as Rigel entered the room silently. He walked up to Orion, who was still sound asleep, and turned his butt over to his face and snickered. He then ripped a loud and bassy five second burnt bacon fart, hitting him with a green cloud that also woke Andy up (BRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUP). Orion fell out of his bed and coughed from the fart, laughing it off as Andy laughed a bit himself and made his own comment on Rigel. "You must be Rigel. You're about as messy as I've heard."

"I have a reputation for being the grossest of the siblings, but that's just who I was born as." Rigel gave a fist bump to Andy, taking a liking to him already. "So you're Andy I'm guessing. It's nice to see Orion having a friend that isn't an adult."

Orion tackled Rigel to the floor and pinned him down while sitting on his face. "Yeah, it's nice to have friends your own age." Orion released a five second rotten egg fart, hitting Rigel with a yellow cloud (pfffffffffft). Rigel coughed from the fart as Orion walked up to Andy, who got up and snickered at the fart. "Besides. Kids are a lot less likely to complain when if you're a sleep farter."

Orion pointed to himself with his thumb while smirking and walked off with Andy as Rigel got up and walked with them. "Well mom said breakfast is ready, so you'd better hurry if you wanna get to the bacon."

"If there's one thing I always wanna do it's get to the bacon." Orion, Andy, and Rigel headed downstairs, knowing that Koyuki's breakfast was gonna be good.

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

Orion was chowing down on his food with Andy watching as he ate all of it in a matter of seconds, not surprising him at all. Koyuki set down seconds for Orion and looked at Andy, smiling with happiness at the fact that Orion finally made a friend. "I couldn't be more grateful that you became friends with Orion when you did Andy. I'm sure you're aware of how he's been something of an outcast at school."

"Hey, I'm right here bitch, get me my chocolate syrup if you wanna bitch in front of me." Orion joked around, and Koyuki grabbed the chocolate syrup for him and handed it to him. "I thank thee, and give thou mother permission to bitch about thy second born son."

Andy chuckled a bit at Orion's olden times talk as he made a response to Koyuki's words. "It's an honor to be friends with him Koyuki. I don't think I could ask for a friend as funny and full of personality as him. And I couldn't thank him enough for saving me from that soul snatcher." Koyuki found that story to be a surprise for Andy to mention as he then went into detail. "See, I was trying to get over my fears by facing them head on, and a soul snatcher almost killed me. If Orion didn't show up when he did, I would've died."

Koyuki looked at Orion, who was smiling confidentelly while pouring chocolate syrup on his plate of food. "And the best part is, I didn't even have to bribe him."

Andy snickered at the joke with Bella having a confused look on her face. "I don't get it. Andy seems nice enough to not need to bribe."

"It's an older kid joke Bella; get your facts right." Orion snarked, and then he got back to eating his food with Bella sticking her tongue out at him.

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

Orion and Andy were getting ready to play video games together as Orion took out one with a black wolf with a blue underbelly, a blue star on one of his eyes and holding a sword with a confident grin on his face. He stood on top of the words, The Legend of Scooter, and when Orion took the game out of the case and put it in, he surprised Andy with what he saw, which was an epic intro sequence of everything to come in the game. Orion then sat down next to Andy, who was amazed with what he saw. "They made video games based off of this!?"

"They sure did. It's also a bit like a telltale game, where you play through five different episodes, and it takes four episodes from the show and combines them into one." Orion explained, and Andy was hyped when he heard that, knowing he was going to have an amazing time. "And if you don't like telltale games, don't worry, as that's as telltale as it gets. The rest is hack n slash." Andy nodded as Orion handed him the controller to let him start off, allowing him to have the first play.

Andy picked the first episode to play, and it opened up just like the episode with Orion commenting on something. "Keep in mind that each time we die, we switch. And I mastered the first two games already, with plans to do so for the others as well." Andy nodded in response and got ready to play the game as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

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

Bleach ending 10 Sakura Biyori played during the credits with Orion shown sitting on a ledge while looking over the land as a female voice prepared to sing The Evil In Me. "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."

Orion looked up at the moon as Andy walked over to him and the two of them started talking as the leaders of Ohu were above them. "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."

Orion and Andy looked at the stars with their looks of hope and compassion being shown. "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."
