Echelon Systems
Perish

The next day Nathan was forced to part with Harry because their plane was having problems while it was being prepared.

Nathan decided to use another plane that only one person used. Harry gets a new partner who is the pilot of the Enterprise Mothership.

"Good luck and remember don't die!" Harry laughed as he waved as Nathan prepared to fly.

Nathan smiled faintly and pointed his middle finger before taking off from the Deci of the Mother Enterprise to the Midway airbase with the other airmen.

On the flight he somehow felt bad things were going to happen, but he ignored his premonition and chose to get used to his new plane.

A little later Nathan and the other airmen saw Japanese bombers re-bombing the base at Midway.

Soon they were trying to prevent the bombers and the planes that were escorting them.

With reckless Nathan maneuvered to break through the Japanese air formation directly. One Japanese bomber Nathan dropped, but he was targeted by two of their Zeros.

Because he had not mastered the plane, Nathan looks stiff in maneuvering and makes both Zero aircraft easy to target.

"Hey, don't you feel sorry for this newbie!" Nathan's screams fed the two Zero pilots who were chasing him.

On the other hand, the two pilots of Zero saw Nathan as a soft sheep that could be shot down anytime they wanted to.

"Whether he's a beginner, his driving is so bad!" Said a Zero pilot to his friend over the radio channel.

"Haha! I don't know, but we'd better get that stupid guy on the boat. That guy they can instrogate later..." Said another Zero pilot.

Eventually the two Zero pilots led Nathan like sheep to their ship and as they approached they immediately shot Nathan down.

Nathan's plane crashed near a Japanese cruiser. When his plane hit the water, Nathan was knocked unconscious after hitting his head hard.

*******

Some time or two days later Nathan woke up in a low-light room in the position of legs and hands tied to the chair.

'Where am...' Nathan's mind restrained the dizziness on his head and blood covered half of his face.

Three Japanese men entered the room and one of them then removed the rope tied to Nathan's mouth.

A man with a familiar face in Nathan's eyes sat right in front of him holding a cane.

The man was none other than Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto who was the supreme commander of the Japanese navy.

Nathan soon realizes that he is on the legendary Yamato. The ship is one of the symbols of their naval power.

"I won't hurt you if you give me information about your plans in the future..." Say Yamamoto in English while playing a stick in his hand.

Nathan chuckles when he hears what Yamamoto said. "It seems you're wrong. I'm just a pilot and of course I don't know the plans of the top brass..." Reply Nathan in fluent Japanese.

Hearing the young pilot in front of him speak in Japanese fluently, Yamamoto and his two subordinates were quite surprised but on the other hand were annoyed by his words.

"Heh... Rarely do Americans speak Japanese. Are you a mixed person?" Yamamoto asked who seemed a little interested.

Hearing the words of Nathan who discussed his loot immediately made Yamamoto quite surprised because only a few people know. Even the military and the Emperor did not know about it.

Two of Yamamoto's subordinates who had not known the information were actually shocked, but they were clearly not brave with the superior.

Felt the pilot before him knowing his personal information that is rarely known by others, Yamamoto did not so to interrogate him.

"Take him to hang out with his three friends..." Yamamoto said before leaving the room.

Two of Yamamoto's subordinates then drag Nathan and throw the man into a cell in which there are three other captives.

The condition of the three people seems to notice where there are bruises around the face and some injuries around the hands and feet.

"Are you three okay?" Ask Nathan.

"You've seen it for yourself. We'll be executed soon..." Reply to a Marine.

Nathan nodded and lay down on the very cold floor leisurely. This obviously made the other three captives feel confused by Nathan's attitude.

"Why do you look so relaxed. Don't you understand, we'll all be executed soon..." Ask one of the Marines.

"What should I do. There's no way out. Everything will be in vain. Better to relax while waiting for the end that will not be long..." Nathan replied with a chuckle.

A Marine who was annoyed by Nathan's attitude immediately lunged at the man. He easily attacked Nathan who was in a condition of hands and feet bound.

"Fuck you, what do you mean, huh!?" The Marines beat Nathan in the face until he bled.

Nathan chuckles under the blow given by the Marines. Despite being beaten to a bloody extent Nathan was still able to calm down as if he felt nothing.

Moments later some Japanese soldiers came and took them to the deck of Yamato's ship with the head covered in black cloth.

Upon arrival on the deck of the ship, the four men were forced to sit facing the American Fleet fairly close.

The black cloth that covered the man's head and face began to be removed. This was done by Yamamoto to warn the other side.

Nathan opened his eyes slowly and looked at the Enterprise's aircraft carrier from a distance. He could clearly see Admiral Frank watching him using binoculars.

The middle-aged man several times searched for the whereabouts of Nathan who had gone missing a few days ago. He found the man but is in poor condition

One by one the prisoners began to be shot in the head from behind by Japanese soldiers. Before he was the last shot Nathan smiled faintly.

The hot lead immediately pierced Nathan's head and he collapsed with three other captives who had been shot dead.

Admiral Frank and several others who saw the incident instantly gasped. This seemed to make a blow to their own side and denounced the actions of Japan who violated the rules of war by killing prisoners.

The four bodies were then thrown into the sea before the Japanese fleet decided to retreat after a crushing defeat at Midway.

Two U. S. warships attempted to pursue the Japanese while the others withdrew.

"Someone please pick up my daughter-in-law and three others..." Admiral Frank said in silence. He now does not know what to do especially when he meets his daughter.
