Semper Fi, Induction Of Heavens Military [Uprights

[Kouzetsu Gin]

[This Thread will takes place over the course of several months, Kings are entitled to leave to tend to their heavenly duties, but needed for first few post to speak to Heaven's Military]

[Isurugi Mei]

Mei escorted her sister, Amelia, and the troops that their aunt sent to Heaven for training to the first realm. She wasn't sure if her presence was needed but since she was put in charge of the newcomers in Heaven, she thought she would just take them to where they were going to have their orientation and training herself.

It was early in the morning, but she knew that Gin probably would have already been up and ready and perhaps going over things one more time to make sure nothing has escaped his attention. She approached who she recognized as Gin's personal guards at the entrance of the realm. "Alert your king that, I, Mei of the Third Realm, have arrived with the Faerie Queens troops for orientation and training."

[Kouzetsu Gin]

"Yes my lord Isurugi-sama. " The two guards said in unison, nodding to each other as the younger of the two approached went off to the personal tent of Kouzetsu Gin. Waved in by the Einjheriar, the Upright found Gin looking over a giant map of the terrain of the 1st layer. "Kouzetsu-sama, your kings have arrived sir." He said, saluting to the Ha-ou.

"At ease, and who was the first to show?" Gin asked, walking over to the entrance to the tent.

"Isurugi-sama, as well as her sister, and a battalion of fae my lord." The solider said, his voice sharp, and words concise.

"Very well then, we shall start when Hotaka and Setsuna arrive." Gin said, signaling the young man and his Einjheriar to follow him back to the gates. Arriving thee Gin walked over and made a typical military gesture to Met, as a gesture of respect, acknowledging Amelia's presence as well. "Mei, and Amelia, so good of you to arrive, and prompt I might add." Gin said, smiling at the two Fae. Making his way to the troops, Gin extended handshakes and banter to the regimen, hoping to ease their unseen tension.

Walking back over to Mei, Gin placed his hand behind his back. "We wait for Hotaka and Setsuna, they should not be to far off from here." Gin said, standing in between Mei and Amelia.

[Isurugi Amelia]

Amelia wanted to smiled at the guards and make herself known, but they were sent away quickly by Mei. She frowned at her sister and crossed her arms. She then saw Gin walk towards them and smiled before saluting back to him. She watched him greet the troops that seemed a little reluctant in greeting the Heaven King back. As soon as Gin made his way back she looped her arm around his and pulled him closer to her. "I don't mind waiting here at all." With a gleeful look on her face she squeezed his arm and felt his muscles under his sleeves which surprised her. He didn't seem like a type to have that much muscles. It made her wonder what he would look like without clothes on. "Oh my, you have such strong arms." She smiled to herself feeling them up again.

[Isurugi Mei]

Mei also saluted her fellow Heaven King and was glad that he went over to greet the many fae that were going to be trained by him. He mentioned that Hotaka and Setsuna would also be arriving and it surprised her. She wasn't expecting them to also show up and she was going to say something about it until she saw her sister quickly wrapping her arms around his. She narrowed her eyes at Amelia, she was being too familar with Gin and she knew she was going to try to persuade him to do things that a heavenly being shouldn't be doing at a time such as this.

"Amelia, I don't think you should be feeling on his arms like that. The Queen didn't sent you here so that you can make a bad first impression to those in Heaven." She crossed her arms across her chest and shook her head.

"I'm sorry Gin, my sister can unreserved at times." She sighed and shook her head again.

[Fae NPC]

The many fae that followed both Mei and Amelia, woke up early that morning wondering what they would be facing and what they'll see in Heaven. Many were anxious to see what Heaven was like and were not disappointed by the sights they were seeing traveling from the third to the first layer.

After they arrived at their destinations, they were soon greeted by who they were told to be the Choubatsu-ou, Kouzetsu Gin. The air around him just seem authoritative when he came on to the scene and it made some of the fae intimidated. But after his greeting they relaxed a little, but not knowing what they'll be doing still brought about uneasiness to some.

Though seeing Amelia once again trying to woo Gin also helped ease their tension and some even tried to stifle their giggles. Though that was mostly the Aviation Force, the Faerie Army were glad that Mei wasn't like her younger sister.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Smiling at Amelia'a usual type of attention, Gin pulled her close to his side. " Ah yes Amelia, how refreshing it is to have the attentions of such beauty. Do not worry Mei, it is all for the good. Hotaka and Setsuna have not arrived with their respective battalions so we are at ease for now. Take time now to relax, because as the training commences, I assure you that said lax environment will be sorely missed." Gin said resting his hand other on Mei's shoulder.

"I have assured the Fae troops that they will be treated as equals here, there will be no difference in how the Celestial and Fae train, so we are as one for the time being. And speaking of Fae, I do believe there was a certain Fae your lovely aunt had the intention of being 'disciplined' here today, has she arrived?" Gin asked, smiling as he saw the regiments of the 6th, the Cherubim, arrive in full armament.

[Isurugi Mei]

Mei furrowed her brow as Gin pulled Amelia closer to him, not knowing that he was doing nothing but encouraging her behavior. But she let out a breath and replied to Gin's question about Rosey.

"No Rosey hasn't arrive yet. I figured that she will take her time and hope that you have plans for her tardiness. We don't have time to wait for one fae and I don't expect you to be light on her punishment. She better be in better shape than the rest of these fae when the training is done."

She placed her hands on her hips and shook her head at the thought of Rosey as she watched as Celestials in their gear, looking as if they were ready to start a war.

[Shirogane Setsuna]

Setsuna arrived, military officials and troops trailing behind her. The official colors of the fourth layer was green, black and silver. All military personal were required to wear the unifor.

She spoke to Gin first, "I appoligize for my tardiness. I have with me the soldiers of the fourth layer of Heaven ready for training."

The assembly of soldiers gave a short lived war-cry.

Setsuna then introduced her military commanders. "To my right is Bahlak Zager commander of the fourths military. To my left is Merianna Zercholz, our vice commander. There are also various generals."

Setsuna turned to the men and women of her army. "We will train hard and put for our best effort to protect Heaven."

They gave another short war-cry, then stood down.

Setsuna turned back to Gin. "I hope this will be enough."

Setsuna then addressed Mei and her sister. "Isurugi Mei and Isurugi Ameila." She inclined her head slightly.

[Isurugi Amelia]

Amelia watched as woman with soldiers approached them and tighten her grip on Gin's arm a little bit. After the celestial woman introduce her commander and vice commander, she inclined her head towards her and her sister and Amelia pressed herself closer to Gin before doing the same. "And who might you be if I may ask?"

[Kouzetsu Gin]

"This Amelia is Shirogane Setsuna, Toki-ou and the highly esteemed king of the Fourth Layer of Heaven." Gin said, allowing a slight smirk at Amelia's jealous petulance. "So good to see you again Setsuna, as well as the enthusiasm of your soldiers. I am very impressed, although you are on of the busiest of Kings, your troops have not slacked in the vigilance, I could hear their vigor in there battle cries." Gin said, nodding in acknowledgment to Setsuna. Gin did not allow himself the pleasantries of an over emotion display, but he could not fully hide his amiable nature when in the presence of the military. It was here where he truly felt at home, and he was more comfortable here than anywhere else in Heaven.

[Tsubarisu Hotaka]

Hotaka had come immediately when he heard the summons for his military unit as well as himself. In a neat formation hotaka had with him his specialized field medics which were adept in both physical and magical healing. They were to his right bearing a large banner of the symbol of Hermes. They wore loose fitting robes of white and silver.

To his left were his Enhancement Battalion. they were 30 strong as well and were adept at increasing the fighting abilities of friendly troops around them. They wore robes of White and gold and bore a banner bearing the mortal's Wrench.

Behind Hotaka marched Joan and behind her marched a battalion of 25 Archangel women. They floated about one foot off of the ground and were clothed in sparkling garments of White and bronze. These were Hotaka's Song Maidens. They kept Morale high by instilling in men and women friendly soldiers the will too fight beyond their full potential as well as demoralize Enemy soldiers. They carried a banner which bore a Harp.

Next was a group that faded in and out of vision. there appeared to be at least 12 of them. When they were visible they wore reinforced chainmail that was colored white and black. At their sides were a high powered hand gun and shining Rapier imbued with Holy magic. They were a cross between ordinary foot soldier and a Covert Ops team. They carried a banner bearing the moon.

And the last group was not too impressive. They were only 10 but they all carried a power tool at their waist along with a shotgun imbued with holy magic. They wore Hard leather armor of white and gray. They were the engineers and mechanics of the army and were the only ones who didnt have a banner.

Hotaka halted his troops and walked up to Kouzetsu. His white robes blowing in the wind. He bowed deeply and trrops followed suit.

"Hallowed Protector. I have come at last."

[Isurugi Mei]

Inclining her head to greet Setsuna, Mei was glad that she had arrived and quickly glanced over to her sister to see her get slightly jealous. Mei smirked, thinking that soon enough Amelia is going to make a fool of her self.

She then saw Hotaka come up with him troop, most of them seem very pretty and impressive with their banners. "Hello Hotaka. Your men seem very impressive, as well as yours Setsuna." She looked back to the fae that stood there watching the soldiers arrive with apprehensive looks on their faces. They all seemed to be equally impressive too though with their silver armor that had gold celtic designs on them that seem to pulsate. They didn't make any amazing war cry or came into the scene with banners. They just stood there quietly waiting to get things started.

Mei looked to Gin to see if he was ready to get things started.

[Isurugi Amelia]

Amelia saw another celestial person approach them with an army behind them and she was glad that it was a guy. A cute one at that. "Oh my, all you celestial men are cute." She then lean closer to Gin and whispered into his ear, "Though I think you're the cutest guy I've ever seen in Heaven." She straighten herself while smiling at Gin, her arm still wrapped around his. She started to think that if she couldn't get with Gin, then perhaps she could get with this Hotaka guy that she heard Mei called him.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Looking at Hotaka's zeal for this arrangement brought a genuine smile to Gin's face, one that had not been there for some time. Saluting back to Hotaka, Gin actually let out a chuckle,"Hotaka you flatter me with your words, but greetings to you as well." Gin said, acknowledging Mei silent inquiry to if things were about to proceed. Smiling and nodding back, Gin placed his hand on Amelia's shoulder, indicating that the events were about to begin. "Excuse me my dear, but we must call an end to our small pleasantries for now. Believe me it truly is a pain to be separated from such visual splendor as you Amelia." Gin whispered back, smiling as he began walking toward his tent to summon his Einjheriar. Once the 12 warriors assembled, Gin waved his hand signifying them to group in the pre-plan formation discussed with Gin earlier.

Standing there under the warm sunlight as a gentle breeze blew across the large open meadow Gin had chosen for this purpose today, the Ha-ou took in a deep breath, closing his eyes to bask in the culmination of months of planning, his sacrifices bearing their fruit in what looked to be a prospective well trained and disciplined armed force for Heaven. Starring out into the rank and file, Gin saw what he hope every Upright would see in his reign during their lifetimes, a unified force of Heaven, consisting of a battalion of troops from every choir, excluding the Kyrum whom Gin had special plans for.

He saw the mighty Seraphim, in all of their splendor, troops from the layer he currently presided over. Next to them were the jubilant and power Cherubim, who though kingless in layer, arrived just as well prepared and ready to serve as any choir. Then there were the Archangels, as awesome insight as there will was strong, Gin couldn't have asked for more with Hotaka leading such a great band of warriors. The Elohim were next, the sheer magnificence they displayed alongside of their leader was truly as sight to behold, wearing the colors of their home layer as both a uniform as well as a badge of honor. Following them was the Malakim, Gin's own choir, looking as fierce as they were honorable, noble beings who's choir's spotless record of not a single fallen caused Gin to glow with pride. Leading them was Mei, the Fae emissary who along with her sister Amelia, had brought a cadre of both able and willing Fae warriors, of both ground and aerial specialties. And last but not least in any sense were the Mercurim. Although they were the smallest in number, they stood as proud as any other choir. They stood fearless in the face of being the minority, like true soldiers realizing their task was to serve their nation as best they could, through fighting or any other means, they represented the brightest and bravest of their Kingless layer.

"My fellow warriors. I once believed that in order to truly live for you nation, you must be willing to die for it. This is admirable, but sadly it is not true. If that were fact, I would have perished many moons ago, here in this very spot, at one of our battles with the fallen not so long ago. I realized then, after securing my soldiers, and fighting back a band of 21 fallen on my lonesome, that to die... to die would truely be selfish. Were would my nation be without me I asked my self in my seemingly final moments. Yes I am but one man, but I can be but one more of the Motherland's sons, standing haughtily in the face of 'fallen' tyranny, and lawlessness.

"It was here I deiced to continue living, despite my wings being burned, my legs broken, my fists crushed, my chest open. Here I decided that even if I could never again wield a blade in battle, I would instruct those who could. I would have them learn from my mistakes, share my knowledge and experience so that although my body may pass on physically, I will forever live in the hearts and minds of the people, the people I entrust to protect my people. Our people, you people. I stand here before you today, not as Ha-ou, not as a Malakim, but as Kouzetsu Gin, a warrior, the one title regardless of choir, rank, and status we all have.

"I ask you now,here on the field where the blood of my comrades, the blood of own heart, the blood of my nation was spilled, will you help me in ensuring we all become immortal, by forging in the fires of our determination and will, a Heaven so strong, that no force in creation can tear us asunder ever again?" Gin said passionately, the presence of tears forming behind his glasses, unknown to all but him.

[Shirogane Setsuna]

Setsuna was so moved by Gin's passionate speech, tears begin forming in her eyes, but she held the back, she had to keep up appearances. All around her, her soldiers a mixture between Elohim and other races, looked on in the glory of the leader of Heaven's speech. They all brought their right fist across their hearts, saluting to Heaven's struggle and plight.

[Isurugi Mei]

Listening to Gin's speech, Mei's emotions started to stir and she had to wipe tears that had formed in her eyes. Once again, she was glad to be working along side a person such as him. Never had she heard such a speech before other than her aunt, Na'ame, who rarely spoke to an audience. It was usually her other aunts or her mom that spoke to an audience but they had never spoke in such a way that Gin had just now.

[Fae NPC]

The aviation troops and the ground troops listened to Gin's speech with a sense that they will be going into battle and it made them a little anxious. There were some that knew of what Gin was talking about though. They had been in the same war and provided assistance for Heaven, they have seen both their own and Heaven killed or left to die. After Gin was done, he posed a question and the fae responded with a combination of a yea, grunt and other cheers which in unison, sounded like one big unusual sound.

[Keiji Tenpai]

Soaring in form the sky, Tenpai lands infront a few meters infront of his home layer of the sixth's army, his wings of light pulsing with electricity. Dressed in his white and blue battle gear he disapates his wings and removes his helmet. The roar of the surrounding platoons and their king's cheers pulsing through his body.

After saluting his fellow cherubim and placing his helmet under his arm he begins to make his way toward Gin. Walking past Setsuna and Hotaka's troops he gives another salute and continues on his way. "I know they probably don't remember me since the last time I saw them I was just a kid in the military. Now I am here and ready to fight along side my old allies once again on the field of battle. It feels good to see them again after so long".

Finally arriving infront of Gin, Tenpai bows to his old freind in respect. "Those are some of the most powerful words I have ever heard come from anyone in our realms. I am proud to say you are our king". Lifting his head and still gripping his helmet under his arm Tenpai is filled with pride and honor as he looks into the face of Kouzetsu, now standing as tall as him unlike when they first met.

"It has been a long time sir since I have served with you on the field of battle along side the rest of our noble people. I have been taking care of a few matters else where and I appologize for my absence but I will make up for it gladly by starting off the days events. If I might suggest a sparring match sir if I might be so bold? I think it would be a fine way to get everyone pumped and ready for the training that will be to come". Tenpai says with a glare of determination and pride as he awaits the response from the Ha-ou.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Gin stood proudly in front of his much enthused, and malleable army, basking in the applause from the various assembled Celestial of all manner of rank. As the cheering continued, a familiar young man flew in from the sky, landing among the battalion of Cherubim, and Gin monitored him closely. He resembled an old war buddy, looking to be his son or some other close relative as he grew closer to the Ha-ou, properly saluting his superiors as he passed them.

The man stepped in front of Gin, and his signaled his guards to be at ease, recognizing the man as Tenpai, listening to him as he spoke. Allowing a small chuckle to escape amongst the noise, Gin greeted him with a handshake, inspecting the man as he embraced him. "I see, you've grown into a fine Upright Tenpai, and I see like your father you've developed as taste for tardiness it seems." Gin said smiling. "As for the sparring match, the time will come for exercise and combat simulation, so please do not be so eager to be felled at my hand." Gin said, placing a hand on his back, patting him as he walked to his Einjheriar to make another round of speech.

"I am glad to see that you are enthused, for it will take all you can muster to come out of this experience. But alas, spirit is no substitute for true grit and determination when starring into the eyes of your enemy. I will not lie, many of you will not see the end of this training, you will be asked to leave for your own safety, for this will be taxing indeed. But, do not fret, those that do survive will go on to train the remainder of the troops in your home layers, and those who wash out from here can continue there.

"Now as for the division of labor, every troop here will wake to morning exercise, followed by rest and education in general tactics and weapons stratagem. Following this will be specific training, designated by Choir, going as follows; The Mercrium will provide us with communication and reconnaissance. The Malakim will make up the bulk of the infantry, backed by specific groups of Fae troops ordained and led by Mei. The Elohim will serve as our cartographers and general strategists, Led by Setsuna. Archangels not designated to a specific task by Hotaka will form our force of Mages. Cherubim will go on to become our new aerial force, in conjecture with Ameila's own personal troops. The Seraphim will be crossed trained in several aspects, acting as the filler and auxiliary force, able to adapt, lead, and fight in any and all situations, being the most potentially powerful. This training will be specifically carried out by myself, in addition to the personal training all of you will undergo under my authority here." Gin said, as he watched the groups organize themselves in preparation for the days ahead.

"My Einjheriar will be assigned to personally instruct alongside the Kings as specified, 2 to each specific group, if there are no questions you are all dismissed until 1800 hours." Gin said as he remained there to take any questions before he returned to his tent.
