11th January 1945
It was evening, ample time had been given to the Japanesemand to surrender after checking the effects of the bomb. Yet, nothing happened. Hence, the n had a green light. A third bomb, Fat Man, was to be dropped.
Once again, the harbinger of death, the lone bomber appeared in the sky. People looked up in confusion as loud sirens would have rung if it was a raid. But then, the white light, like a falling star, covered everything in the city of Nagasaki. Clocks stopped at that very instant, 4:31 PM.
Then the heat and sound came, scorching their bodies and destroying their ears. The destructive winds uprooted houses to trees. Men returning home from work found themselves turning into liquid, their skin melting like wax. Before they could even scream, they died a miserable death.
A mother tried to shield her infant baby as soon as she felt the unbearable pain and heat, but as she kneeled to cover, she and her child both turned into corpses, then into ashes. They didn''t even know what killed them.
Street Dogs barked and tried to jump into the river, but there was not enough time, stuck in the molten metal bars, they too turned into ashes. The strong gust of atomic winds then washed all these ashes away, never to be even remembered who it was that died.
The City of Nagasaki in an instant turned into a wastnd with nothing remaining, not even the minor concrete buildings, as this bomb was slightly stronger than the previous two. Out of the poption of 213,000, 80 thousand instantly died. Sadly, many of them will not even be found. Many more shall die in theing days of radiation.
Within two days, Hector had killed 130,000 people. This was the power of nuclear weapons, and they will only get more powerful with time. The world shall get more dangerous as more nations build these. But, there was one small point of tion for him, the day the bomb was to be dropped on Nagasaki, all schools in the city were made to go on a field trip to the mountains. Nearly all the children who were not infants survived the st.
This was done with the help of SSR, who sent their spies with Asian features into Japan to sponsor a field trip to the mountains for students. Because tasty food was being offered, nearly all of them came to the school that day.
...
He received an update from the satellitemunicator about what had urred. He sighed and went back to Hirohito''s chamber, he didn''t speak and simply sat down, making the Emperor very nervous.
After about 3 hours, the Emperor''s chief of staff came running in with a document, it had the report of what happened with Nagasaki, the city was gone, erased from existence.
Hector spoke at that point, "Next targets are Hiroshima, Kokura, Yokohama, Niigata, Kyoto and finally, Emperor''s pce, Tokyo. Each day you waste, a bomb shall drop. But remember, I will not save the kids again, as I did with Nagasaki. And since I know your intelligence department is slow, for your information, the Allies just took back the whole of China. Now, the onlynd you have left is Korea, which is being currently besieged."
The Emperor and the Chief of Staff looked at each other''s faces, their terror-stricken hearts pounded like a fast ne. For theplete 15 minutes, there was utter silence.
Hirohito then walked to Hector, sat down on the floor to his level, then kowtowed, "Please, stop this. I am ready to surrender,plete unconditional surrender, please don''t destroy Japan anymore."
Hector agreed, "Record your speech to surrender and show it to me this evening. You shall sign the Instrument of Surrender as well,"
He left saying this, as he had to contact the alliedmanders and change into his official military suit. He had not really nned any more strikes of nukes either, so this was a favourable oue.
That evening, Hirohito wore a simple western styled suit, his face looking sullen and eyes dark. The more information he was receiving about Nagasaki the more he felt like punching himself for not surrendering before.
He presented the audio recording to Hector, "Mister President, do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, y it so I can ensure you are not secretly inciting violence," he wished to hear.
In the whole speech, Hirohito didn''t use the word surrender, instead, he made it seem like Japan was just stopping on its own. But Hector didn''t say anything, this was how it should be.
"Good, then sign this piece of paper. The terms will be written after the surrender has been announced." he put a nk paper on the small table between them.
Hirohito''s hand shivered with each inch he moved. He had no idea if he was doing the right thing, all he knew was that the sooner he does it the faster the nuclear menace would stop.
Eventually, he wrote his full name on it, Michinomiya Hirohito, then stamped on it. Hector folded the paper and put it in his pocket. "Your speech will be broadcast tomorrow and..."
*BANG*
*BOOM*
Abruptly, loud noises of grenades and bullets came. He looked at the Emperor, "What is this?"
The man was as confused as him. Eventually, the General of Imperial guard came running, scared, "YOUR MAJESTY! they murdered Lieutenant General Takeshi Mori. They want to upy the pce and ce you under arrest to stop the surrender, to instigate the entire Army... and they want to kill Emperor Washington,"
"Who is leading the men?" Hirohito inquired.
"It''s the Major Kenji Hatanaka with the Second Regiment of the First Imperial Guards," the General revealed.
Hector sighed, he didn''t know this bit of history. (A/N: It''s real). "Hah, some god you are when your men initiate a coup d''tat. Hirohito, do you have any safe ce to hide? I will deal with them until then,"
"Yes, Mister President. I have an underground chamber. I shall take the recording with me and keep it safe," The Emperor got up quickly.
"Kennedy, you go with him. Moony, you too, your job is to keep them safe, okay? I will send someone to scare these fools," he muttered. Without telling anybody, he used his Hell summon, the power to open a portal, from it came out the headless Spirit of Vengeance, the Ghost Rider that was the body of Romulus. Skull Knight H appeared out of the dark cloudy portal and bowed to his leader.
"Go and kill all those who are attacking the pce," he ordered.
Skull Knight H pulled out the metal chain stuck around his right arm, burned it into mes and left.
This whole event scared Kennedy and Hirohito to the core, they wondered what that thing even was. But they didn''t have time to deal with that. However, this was not the end of all the shocking mess that night.
Hector had angered a powerful being by summoning an entity like the Spirit of Vengeance, that albeit meant to serve for good, was considered an evil thing.
"What you have done cannot be tolerated, anomaly!"
At that very instant, a shining yellow circle appeared in front of him, *BOOOM* A fist punched his chest at a force stronger than he had ever felt in his time here. His body was thrown back at immense speed, but a simr yellow circle appeared behind him.
*THUD*
Hector''s body mmed into the ground, rolling over a few dozen times until it came to stop in an unknown ce. Everywhere there was dark ash and fire, burning wood spewing smelly fumes. He fell so hard a cloud of dust had covered him. But he did realise where he was soon enough, ~T-this is... Maizuru Naval Base.~
Being a small city where a nuke was dropped just the day before, it was still in raging fire, spewing smoke. Nothing was left here, not a building or living thing. A true wastnd.
He stood up and red directly into the eyes of the hovering personing out of the smoke and dust. He had no idea why this was happening or how he had harmed her, all he knew, he was not anytime soon getting calmer.
He was in no mood to joke since yesterday, now, someone hade in his way of ending the war and truly bringing peace. He cared not for who it was, a superhero or a viin. He started at the person''s eyes, anger radiation from his being, "You bald bitch, now... I am fucking pissed,"
