Inside the War Room, Hector, the Vice President, the three Chief of Staff of the three services, the secretaries and a few scientific experts discussed the possibility of dropping nukes on Japan.

It was less about if they should and more about where to drop them. Still, a committee of American military generals, army officers and scientists had come up with a list of viable options.

The list went on something like this, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kokura, Emperor's Palace in Tokyo, Yokahama, Niigata and finally Nagasaki. The discussion started on which places the bombs should be dropped first if the situation was called for.

The men started discussing with each other why which part of Japan was a better target. All cities had military production factories, they all had a large population, some even a million if not less. The US Secretary of Defence, Henry Stimson, however, was the only person to oppose something, he outright warned them not to do any harm to Kyoto.

Hiroshima was quickly picked up as a target due to its heavy industrialisation. Then it came to the next target, they ended up selecting Kyoto. That was when Hector stood up to walk to the giant map of Japan on the wall, showing all its military bases.

Seeing them all, he made a decision and announced, "We will bomb the Maizuru Naval Base, which is 62 kilometres away from Kyoto, and then Kure naval base, 20 kilometres outside Hiroshima city."

They all traced their fingers on the map to find these places. Indeed, these two were also strategic places, combined they had a population of 50,000. But they won't have as much of a destructive effect.

The Generals had no problem with where they dropped them, but the Scientists were not happy. The one in the lead tried to convince him, "Mr President, to understand the effects of this bomb, we need to drop it on a city untouched by the bombings and we need to have a large enough population to research later on,"

Hector's brows twitched, these were madmen, caring about nothing but their research. He walked to the man and patted his shoulder with a sigh, "You have no idea what you are talking about right now, boy. Kyoto has a population of a million, it's a great historic city with thousands of cultural relics of the past. To destroy it is to destroy the soul of Japan.

"We are trying to break the soul, to rebuild it, not destroy it. You will get your samples even with these two bases. But let me warn you, do not ever talk about the bombs like that, you sound nearly as bad as the Nazis, uncaring about human life and suffering. All of you in the room, after the bombs are dropped, I want you to reach ground zero and see the madness that we have created.

"Change my name if you don't vomit and lose your sleep for months to come. Remember, today, it's just us who have such destructive weapons, tomorrow others may have them too,"

Roosevelt, who already knew somewhat about Hector's future knowing powers. Saw true sadness in the eyes, he knew that whatever was to come would change mankind forever.

*Cough* "M-Mr President, the Emperor wants to see you," Yui, the mutant girl called him.

He silently stood up and walked to meet the man. He was not in the mood to joke today. Entering, he found not just the Emperor today, there was also a Military General beside the Chief of Staff and the rude guy from yesterday.

"What have you decided?" he asked them.

Hirohito seemed nervous, looking at the General behind him, not even seeing Hector in the eye. The General spoke in a heavily authoritarian voice, "Japan will not surrender. Your bombs will not scare the spirit of the Japanese. It is our divine will to conquer and rule."

"Fine, it is my divine will that I break your throat," he walked forward and jabbed at his neck, punching Adam's apple right back into his throat, effectively killing him.

A few soldiers came running, aimed their little guns at Hector, but the man didn't even spare them a glance. It was the Chief of Staff who had to shoo them away.

Then Hector called Kennedy again to bring him the communicator. On it, he gave the last instruction, "Drop the next one,"

Hirohito shuddered as soon as he heard this, he knew what Hector did.

Hector looked him in the eye, "All those lives, they are on your hands now. When you sleep tonight, remember those screams, the dreams that got quashed because of your weak will. You are no Emperor, you are a traitor. "

He walked out to sit by the pond once again, in silence, awaiting the destruction he had sanctioned.
