Okuni had arrived on Earth for the first time in her life. Having been stationed on the moon training the Knights and foot soldiers of Everglory, working as a consultant with the Moon’s military. With her two year contract up, she received a request from Terra Sentinel to assist in training some rookies as an Aggressor Pilot. Okuni had never been to Earth, so she wasn’t sure what to expect, though she kept her expectations low for the time being. It didn’t matter whether it was earth or moon, piloting a mech was all the same to her. Nor did she know much about Terra Sentinel’s military, other than she was to instruct the beginners.
In addition, she had three goals in mind during her visit to Earth: 1. Visit Japan, 2. Look into the relic weapons of ancient history, and 3. Find a worthy opponent. Having been born in Everglory, and dedicating her whole life to practicing the Kusanagi Sword-style, she had never been able to visit the place of her heritage, where her roots lie. Both her personally, as well as her clan requested her to look into the relic weapons of Japan. These famous blades were supposedly enchanted or cursed with magic, their history dating back to around the same time as the origin of the Kusanagi Clan. In fact, the legendary sword of the same name was crafted by the Kusanagi clan; though through the years, the clan lost possession of the sword. If possible, Okuni wanted to track down the sword. Thirdly, traveling to one of the origin points of martial arts, she would assuredly find someone who could challenge her. She was already the strongest warrior of the clan, and the Moon had very few who could stand against her in a one-on-one duel.

After a long flight, the shuttle had finally broke through the earth’s atmosphere, and was continuing to descend to cruising altitude.
“...So this is earth.” Okuni peered out to the view that stood before her outside the shuttle. She took a look at the vast ocean view below her from the cockpit of Amaterasu, which was docked within the shuttle.
“And all of that is water…” She was amazed by the vastness of the ocean, seemingly extending forever beyond the horizon. The smooth, wave-like movements of the water glistened and sparkled, reflecting and refracting the sunlight on the surface. It truly was a different sight compared to the moon.
The Shuttle was currently en route to Japan, where Okuni would spend a few days, before meeting with the Terra Sentinel officials. It should be a simple trip until Japan, though she had a feeling something was going to happen. Her warrior instinct could ‘sense’ a fight brewing.
