The next day, Hector got on a ship and headed straight to Okinawa. His arrival to Japan was heavily reported in various newspapers around the world. To many people, his arrival also meant the end of the war in Japan. In history, Hector has never lost any battle and this was a fact, hence this much confidence.

It had just been a week, but to him, it felt like an eternity, when he saw his boy Moony, he ran to hug him tight, not minding his dirty fur, "My beautiful little boy, how were you? You did well? Did they feed you tasty meat? Look how dirty you are, that fool Logan, how dare he not clean you. Come, I will bathe you."

Moony loved being spoiled and snuggling in Hector's arms. He licked his face and made happy little noises. Everyone loved seeing them interact with each other at this point. A lot of the troops here were some who had decided to join Pacific theatre after the war ended in Europe. They were given the offer to either stay at home as their drafts were over or head to Japan to end the real war. About 40 per cent of them chose to go.

Hence, a lot of stories from Europe were circulating in Asia as well. In Hector's mind, this world's world war was not just different due to finishing faster, but because he had invested a lot of money to videotape everything that could be, especially the atrocities. Because it was a known fact that someday in the future, a foolish man will wake up and say it never happened.

Hence, all the stomach-churning vomit-inducing videos of first-hand scenes of Auschwitz and lots of other concentration camps were safely kept. These will be used in the future to teach people what to fear and why not to support dictators.

...

General Patton arrived from Hawaii with the proposed battle plan, a real planned full-scale invasion of Japan. It was not off the books, hence the mobilisation had already started.

The proposed plan was being called Operation Downfall. It was the siege of the island of Kyushu and Kanto plains near Tokyo. The plan was to use the crudest method of warfare, defeat by sheer numbers. As a part, a largest armada would be brought together. 30 battleships, 52 aircraft carriers, 450 destroyers, they will escort 14 infantry divisions of more than two million soldiers to the beach. All supported by 1,000 B-29 bombers. The invasion will be the largest military operation ever seen in history, and this was only the phase one.

The major problem here was that the Japanese knew exactly where the Allies would land. Hence, by estimations, more than 50 per cent of the troops were going to die in this battle, as the beachhead of Japan is already fortified. The US, in preparation, even ordered the medal-making company to start preparing half a million purple hearts. The worst-case scenario was being thought out. If anybody thought Europe was bad, the real war was only starting.

When the troops in Okinawa found out about the plan, their hearts nearly died down. Everyone knew this was as good as a death sentence. Hector saw the crestfallen faces and understood ~A full-scale invasion can never happen, it's gonna be a death party, absolute madness.~

Hence, letting everything go, he said goodbye to his troops. "Logan, you're going to stay here and help take over the rest of the island. I will head to Tokyo to meet the Emperor in the meantime. Moony and Kennedy, you're coming with me. We're airdropping straight on top of his Palace."

"M-Me? Why me? I'm not superhuman," Kennedy stuttered. Why would he, a normal meatbag human want to drop inside the heart of the enemy territory?

"Don't worry, I will keep you safe. Besides, don't you want to wear a nice Kimono? treat it like a holiday, one where you might die. All right, peace out," he boarded the plane.

...

A few hours later, the plane flew over Tokyo's sky, it was high enough to not be seen by common eyes on the ground. Hector was using his binoculars to see the Imperial Palace.

"We seriously bombed the hell out of this city, it seems. But the Palace stays standing." He muttered to himself.

Turning back, he strapped parachutes on Moony and Kennedy. "You know what to pull to take it out. Remember, do not release early or you will miss the target.

"W-What about you? Where is your parachute?" Kennedy asked.

He grinned, grabbing Kennedy's collar, "Hehe, boy, my legs are too strong for such falls, and remember, real badasses don't use parachutes. And besides, someone needs to reach the ground earlier to stop them from shooting you two."

*WOOSH*

"AAA..." Kennedy was thrown out, followed by a happy Moony jumping on his own. Then he waved at the pilots and jumped without a parachute. He fell like a brick, much faster than the other two as he dived straight down.

"HOLY SHIT, M-mr president jumped... WITHOUT A PARACHUTE!" One pilot screamed in fear.

The other pilot was calm, "Oh calm your tits, he's done it before. I was in Germany with him..." he started telling stories.

...

Tokyo, Imperial Palace,

The guards at the Japanese Imperial Palace were one of the most well paid and trained men. They still used swords instead of guns and were very traditionalistic. They were to stop anyone from entering, even if it was some Japanese high general. After all, how can mortals just enter the house of a god?

"It seems it will rain today. The weather will become even colder, should have brought another coat," one guard talked with another. They stood at the main entrance of the Palace.

*Yawn* The other guard felt his eyes heavy, "It's a bright day, nothing is happening."

"You want something bad to happen to feel entertained? This is what a normal day is supposed to be, not those where bombs fall on our heads," the soldier scolded him.

Soldier two scoffed, "Huh, like we will be hurt. The Americans are afraid of Emperor, that's why they never try to bomb the Palace."

*SHOOOooooo...*

The sound of a whistling bomb came, and with a thud, Hector landed right in front of them. *BOOOOM* A cloud of dust spread around, the ground under his feet cracked even after he tried to control his fall.

He was a behemoth in front of the two guards, "Sons, it's not that I'm afraid to drop bombs. I just wanted to meet the ruler of the nation that gave the world anime and... tentacle porn,"

"YOU FUCKING HAD TO JINX IT!" Soldier one cried and made a run for the signalling bell.

He was caught, however, by his collar. Hector spoke in fluent Japanese, "Don't be afraid, boy. I am but a single man, the President of the United States of America, in your terms, Emperor of America. I need to meet your Emperor and talk about the future. So go inside and get someone out who has the authority."

The two gulped in fear and confusion, but they understood him clearly as pronunciation was absolutely correct. Hector has knowingly used the word Emperor of America to make them feel that if another Emperor talks to their Emperor then it's normal.

One of them quickly ran inside the gates and soon after returned with a few armed guards, followed by a man in a western suit. He bowed to Hector, "I am Konoe Fujiwara, the Chief of Staff of the Royal Office of Emperor Hirohito. I welcome you to Japan."

()

This level of friendliness shocked Hector, who had to look behind to ensure the man was talking to him. ~What the... this is new, nobody has tried to shoot me yet.~ he thought.

He also greeted him back, "Thank you, two more people have come with me actually,"

Hector looked up at the sky, Moony came down barking, Kennedy also followed behind. They thankfully landed in close proximity to him. "Mr Fujiwara, meet my son, Moony, and my secretary, John F. Kennedy."

"You are invited to stay in my Lord's house, President Washington. He too is interested in meeting you." Fujiwara said in a monotonous voice. He led them inside the Palace and then showed a small complex with two rooms.

"I will return in a short while, the servants will bring refreshments for you until then,"

Hector was left alone after that. "This is weird, I expected I'd have to kill a few hundred soldiers before they let me in. Haha, ease up now, Kennedy, it's your lucky day I guess."

"Lucky that I didn't get shot or because you didn't have to start another killing streak?" Kennedy barked, for some reason, he really hated being shot at. But honestly, who doesn't? [A/N: LOL]

"WOOF" Moony had his own requests, ~Dad, where is my bamboo hat?~

Laughing, he ruffled good boy's head, "Son, this is Japan, not Vietnam. That comes later,"

...

Royal Chambers,

Emperor Hirohito, 43 years old, sat in his chair. Beside him was a woman, nothing was extraordinary about her, looked average, had an average voice. yet, the Emperor talked with her with respect, "Great Seer Uranaishi, your prediction about Pearl Harbour was wrong, I hope this time it's the right call."

The woman silently tensed up, she was a mutant and her ability was to predict odds of anything. She had read the odds of Pearl Harbour, they were 90% successful, but what happened was too catastrophic.

However, this time she had gotten a full 100% probability that if they treated Hector with respect and heard him out it would benefit Japan and the Emperor.

"That only time shall tell, your majesty. But for now, you must be calm and treat the Americans with caution." She advised him, trying to look sage-like. She had been able to hide her mutant status all this while and hoped to keep it that way, because mutants usually get dissected in labs around here.
