The Lunar Cave-Orion

[Orion]

[glow=red,2,300]The Lunar Cave is a cave just on the edge of Xaviers property. The cave itself was created by Orion as a sanctuary and a safe haven in case the mansion was under attack. it reaches deep into the bowels of Xaviers land. inside the cave Orion has used his abilities to smooth out the walls and carve things into the stone that is usually a dark silver. Orion has acquired an extensive amount of weapons during his 32 years of life, these are stored here in one of the caves inner rooms. Inside the living quarters of The Lunar Cave are some of the usual furniture pieces found in a habitat, such as Bed, Table, couple chairs, a good sized bucket, for the underground stream that flows through the back of the cave. other than that there is no commodities of civilized life, here is an example. Light is one of two things. Sunlight, or moonlight shining in through strategically placed holes in the roof or candles lit, by striking some of the flint stones that conviently make up some of the walls of the cave., with one of the many weapons lying around.

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]*Parks his car in the special spot he has set aside for it in the Lunar Cave. He doesnt like leaving his car outside in the weather. That and some of the older mutants from the mansion like to steal cars every once in a while and go for a joy ride. And Orion doesnt want them to try and take his car. He knows that this car would be too much for any kid from the mansion. Walking into the living quarters of the Cave he puts his drink down on the table. Turning toward the training room he takes off his coat. As he walks over to the training room he leaves the coat clinging on a piece of rock jutting out from the wall. Entering the weapons room he selects his favorite weapon. The biggest broadsword he has seen in quite a long time. He forged this sword himself. He remembers doing it and grins. The dark metal shop. The red hot metal throwing a dark rich red glow up at his face and chest, he had no shirt on his pants werespattered with metal fragments from other weapons. His noble face glowed red as he pounded at this new type of metal. Once completed he forged it in a vat of liquid nitrogen. Now Orion uses this sword only when things are heavy on him mind. Or he in in dire need of help and even then it is a last resort. The blade was sharpened by The strongest telepath he had ever known. After six hours of concentrating the monk (telepath) told him the blade was done. Orion picked it up and looked it over. Bowing to the monk he then left the monastary with his new weapon. Orion came back to reality. The blade gleamed in his hand as if inviting him to use it. He moved into his large training chamber where rock dummies stood up from the ground. Launching himself high overhead he swung at the first dummy hanging from the ceiling. At first it looked as if Orion had missed, oblivious to this fact Orion hit the ground with a barely audible thud. He took off toward a dummy on the far left section of the chamber. Now the dummy on the ceiling started to fall. Orion spun hard and lunged at the second dummy cutting it at an angle. then planting both feet on the ground pushed hard off the ground backward. Then kicked his feet up over his head cause himself to flip over clearing the distance from the statue on the ground to the one falling in mid air. Upon full rotation Orion appeared to be standing in mid air. Twisting his lower body causing his upperbody to follow suit only with more power he heard the light whistling of his blade as it made its way through the stone piece. Now falling away from the stone piece he swung one last time at it. Feeling ground now beneath his feet he darted forward thingying his arm to swing. Reaching the second stone dummie which was now sliding off itself onto the ground he spun around pushed the blade through the stone piece that was falling. Standing there he paused and waited for the sounds of stone hitting stone. And there it was. All the stone pieces that he created with his blade hit the ground at the same time. Satisfied Orion turned and walked back to the entrance of the room. Turning around to face the room he started again this time so much faster and with so many more dummies being sliced. After a few hours of this his body gleamed with sweat and his muscles full of blood he was satisfied. He moved into his personal chambers and put on only a pair of ragged shorts, after taking off his other clothes. He then proceeded to the underground river that flowed in the back of the Cave. Being that this river was underground it stayed at a pretty constant temperature. First Orion listened to the gurgling of the water and the serene sounds it made as it passed by his being. Then wading in he fell backward into the water and started to float there. Enjoying the weightlessness feeling and the cool rush of the current. This is a time when Orion would think. He found this a perfect place to think. It was quiet. It was comfortable, and he could relax in almost any position he wanted in the water. He just floated there for a while listening to nothing but hearing everyhing. The events of the day passed by in his minds eye. The almost fight with the SWAT guy. The first time he saw her car again. The race, the truck, the guy who was driving it. Then all of a sudden he remembers Vortex coming out of nowhere and wanting to talk to Tricity. Vortex hadnt even said excuse us or anything. This troubled Orion. He spun over and held his breath and dove deep. Skimming the bottom he spun over again and looked at the surface still thinking.[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]*Staring up at the Cave ceiling from underwater was definatly a calming expirence for Orion. Coming back up to ther surface he climbed out of the stream and walked back into his personal chamber. Grabbing a shirt with the words "There is absolutly no excuse for what I'm about to do" written on it he smiled slyly and thought of Tricity. He grabbed a pair of Black jeans and his biker boots threw them on. He walked back into the main chamber of the Cave and looked over at the fire burning brightly illuminating the Cave in a warm, medevilish glow. Orion walked over to the fire picked up one of the books on the stone table in front of it and sat next to the fire and emersed himself in it. Putting aside all thought of the world at hand, he was part of the world in the book. This book was about a people that have long been not seen. Thought to be wiped out, these people long ago were a powerful race. These noble people once roamed the plains of many countries. They were revered as well as feared for there mercy was as noble, as their armies fearsome. Orion had been trying to learn all he could about this ancient race for quite a while. However there wasnt much known about them. In fact one person who was very interested in them had tracked Orion down. Finding him in a dimly lit bar, the man approached Orion as if he were about to be jumped by a wild beast. This man asked Orion first if he could buy him a drink. When Orion inquired as to the reason, the man replied it would be exchange for some information about a people that lived long ago. Hearing this Orion lifted his head. His black hair fell over one eye, obscuring it from vision. His chain mail straight jacket chinked and clinged softly as he waved his hand indicating to the man that he should sit down. "You went through alot of trouble to find me. Why." Orion had asked. "Well, you are rumored to have the most knowledge about the people from which i seek to know nmore about." the man offered. Nodding, Orion asked how far the man had gotten in his research and to what purpose he was going to use this knowledge for. The man told Orion that the knowledge was going to be used for two things his own edification, but on a larger scale, he hoped someday to prove that mutants had inhabited the earth long before humans. This lead Orion to raise one eyebrow as he sometimes does when hes intrigued. Orion also had a hunch that he could not shake about this man. Twitching one finger of his right hand he caused some of the liquid in the mansd drink to spill over onto the table. The man acted as if he had accidentally spilt it. He used his hand and scooped it into a nice little ball and put it back into his cup. Orions suspicion was confirmed. This man was a mutant. Acting as if he hadnt noticed this little incident Orion started to cleverly probe this man for information as to why he wanted this information. After a while Orion got what he wanted. Then he decided to ask the man why he had been so afraid to aproach him. The man grinned sheepishly and told Orion that his reputation as a fighter spreads far and wide. Confused Orion asked what he meant by a fighter. The man then told Orion of the tales he had heard of Orions days as an underground fighter. [/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]*finishing the book he looked up and noticed the suns rays at an angle and decided it would be fun to go for a quick ride. Picking up his Chain mail jacket he slipped it on. grabbing his air brushed helmet from one of the stone pegs on the walls he entered the biggest chamber in the Cave. He figured hed like some speed so he picked up the key to his rice rocket. Grinning he twisted the throttle and stabbed his thumb at the starter. He was rewarded with the sound of all four cylinders screaming up to the 14,000 rpm redline. Letting go of the throttle and securing his helmet he smoked the rear tire for a second to get maximum traction and pulled the front wheel up into a sharp turn. Bringing the front wheel down caused the rear wheel to grip the stone floor. Launching out of his Cave Orion wondered where hed go to. On his way to the main road he decided to go to the mall. [/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]A long low rumble echos throughout the Cave. This sounds announces Orions arrival from his little bout with Savior. Orion parked the bike and gunned it a few times. Listening to it helped to calm his nerves a little but not enough. Picking up the keys to all his vehicles he started them all one by one. Standing there in the midst of the Chamber smelling the rich burning fuel smell waft around him helped alot. Knowing that the longer he stayed in here the better he'd feel, he went over and sat on his Camaros hood. Feeling the beast rumble beneath him and hearing all the other idle around him put him into a calming state. However helpful it is he knwos it's only temporary. Although this is nice he decided to shut off the vehicles and go wash up from the fight. Replacing all the keys he headed toward the stream again. Dropping his shirt, jacket, pants and shoes he waded into the water. Dipping below the surface he rubs himself vigorously. Reaching for the soap Orion happened to glimpse his refelction in the water. His massive frame, and bulging upper torso jutted out of the water like a tower. After rubbing soap all over himself he felt a bit of a sting and looked down to see a couple of abrasions and cuts from where Savior had thrown him into the tree. Using his left hand he held it for a moment over the wounds. They healed up nicely and Orion grinned. He felt a little better. At least Tricity would be proud of him for doing what she asked him to do. Even after being apart for so long. Done with his bathing he picked up his clothes and went into his personal chambers. There he picked up some new clothes and threw the old ones into a small dirty clothes pile in a corner. Pulling up his pants he looked out into the living quarters of the Cave. After grabbing a T-Shirt that said. "I scare my own Family" He went over and grabbed another of the many books in the Cave. Again he started to get lost in the book.[/glow]

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]*Settling himself down into the reclining stone chair he created he completely immersed himself in the book. Every once in a while his facial expression would change indicating, Suprise, for he found something he did not know, or a slight nod in agreence with something already in the book. Thi8s continued for several hours with out Orion noticing that time had gone by so much*[/glow]

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]*Finishing that book he was now a little closer to finding out what he needed to know. Getting up he paced the floor in thought. Deep in thought he started to piece things together. He walked into the training room and absent mindedly started slowly ad technically hitting the bag, while still deep in thought.[/glow]

[Savior]

*I fly in. I make my voice echo.* Orion. Guess who?

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]*Snapping back to the real world Orion scowled. "What does this little runt want now? I spared his life once. Does he think this is an amusment ride?" Orion grumbled to himself. Knowing Savior wanted Revenge for their little bout earlier Orion swung a hand over the training room. Then left to confront Savior......."What do you want punk?!" he roared at Savior*[/glow]

[Savior]

Ever hear my drunk Ted Kennedy impression?

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]Orions head dropped a little but still keeping eye contact with Savior. His hair fell over one eye. "You are disturbing me. Leave now and Ill let you go without hurting you."[/glow]

[Savior]

Hurting me? I think not! *I fly around about twenty feet behind you and echo again.* I wonder how bad Tricity will feel when I leave you broken and beatin!

[Orion]

[glow=blue,2,300]"Youve had your last warning little one. How dare you speak of Tricity after putting her through a wall!!" Orion growled. "You will pay."[/glow]

[Savior]

OH jeez. I'm worried. I only got 20 bucks. Oh yea. When I'm finsihed with you I'm going after her. It should be fun.
