"Battle stations!" Tommy called as he and his teammates left the room to change into their hero costumes.
Everyone in the church cleared the room as the Red Demon clan and Slasher attacked Jake, Chance and the Elite Six who just got back in action.
Slasher's ninjas charged at the SWAT Kats and the Elite Six as the heroes fought them along with the knights. Shadow avoided a high kick from Slasher as he countered with a kick to the groin. "Now, that was fighting dirty," Slasher hissed at Shadow.
"It's rude enough to try to kill my new brother-in-law and showing up uninvited to a wedding with his clan of ninjas. You deserve what you got," Shadow retorted back.
Razor and T-Bone took out many ninjas as Hades and Zeus took more with their lighting and hellfire. The knights swung their swords at their foes as the Enforcers arrived at the scene with Commander Feral and Lt. Steele, with the help of the half-God Hera, turned him back to a kat. The Enforcers escorted many people and Callie to safety as the fighting intensified.
"You SWAT Kats and Elite Six are whitening up," Slasher said as he was caught in a judo hold by Shadow.
"You mean, we're winning?" Shadow asked.
Slasher laughs, "That's what you think." He breaks free of Shadow's hold, beats him with his attacks and pins him down. Slasher turns to see Razor fighting a ninja. "Razor, you're mine!"
Slasher gets up from Shadow and kicks Razor down to the ground. "Finally, now that's more like it," Slasher said as he charged at Razor.
"Razor, watch out!" Shadow called as he got up and walked to help him but was blocked off by a female ninja.
"Never mind him. Worry about your own self, kid," she said as she fought Shadow.
Captain Downunder and Crickey fought many other assassins as they threw their boomerangs at them and used grappling claws to trip them or get their weapons. "Guys, we got to help Razor!" Crickey called.
"I got him!" Spider-Dog said as he shot his webs at two incoming ninjas and webbed them to a wall.
"Spider-Dog!" Saber called as he flipped a ninja onto his back and Nightshade kicked up a ninja and took him down with her magic.
"Well done, Nightshade," Saber called.
"Thanks, Saber," Nightshade said.
Spider-Dog swung in as he kicked Slasher onto his back just as he got up. "You!" Slasher called.
"Well, who do you expect, Slasher? Captain America or Iron Man?" Spider-Dog laughed as he fought Slasher but took him out with ease.
"You're fast, kid, but I have been doing this for a long time," Slasher said. "And you, don't think I have forgotten about you, Razor," he said as he pulled out his ninja sword and charged at Razor but was caught off guard by Tony Clawson's kick to the stomach.
"I won't let you lay a hand on my son, Slasher," Tony said as he picked up a sword from one of the Red Demon ninjas.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Razor asked.
"Just protecting my son on his wedding day."
"You have a lot of guts, sir. Let's see what they look like," Slasher said as he slashed his ninja sword at Tony but countered it with his sword.
Tony and Slasher fought pretty hard, but ultimately, Tony defeated Slasher. The Enforcers gathered up all of Slasher's ninjas and arrested them. "Take them away!" Commander Feral ordered as Slasher was loaded into the truck along with the ninjas.
"That was amazing, Mr. Clawson. Where did you learn to fight that against Slasher?" Shadow asked.
"I was once a ninja assassin of the White Angel Ninja Clan. Our sole purpose is to protect the innocent and ensure prosperity," Tony said.
"Wow, I didn't know you were an assassin. So, you were like CIA or something?" Nightshade asked.
"What happens if we push that button?" Crickey asked.
Tony laughs, "Don't push that button. No, I was a preventer."
"What did you prevent?" Saber asked.
"Bad things from happening like my son being killed."
"Listen, as much as I like to get to know more about Tony Clawson's ninja background, but can we go to the reception? The guests are waiting," Lt. Steele interrupted.
"Yeah, yeah, keep your shirt on, Lt. Steele, we're coming," Jake said as he changed into his wedding tuxedo along with Chance in his best man uniform.
("Almost Paradise 1984 Love Theme from Footloose" by Mike Reno & Ann Wilson)
The bride and the groom arrived at the reception hall as many guests were having lots of fun, including the half-god Dionysus and Thor. Hades and Persephone walked over to the table where Hector and his friends were sitting to see Hector in a sad mood. "Are you okay, Hector?" Hades asked.
"Aren't you having a good time at Jake's and Callie's wedding?" Persephone asked as she wore her spring outfit.
"Yeah, I just miss Carter Delsin. He was going to be the guest of honor for Jake and Callie's wedding, but it was kind of Queen Callista to take his place," Hector said as Cerberus rubbed against Hector's leg and whined.
"Oh, Hector, Cerberus is trying to cheer you up. He likes you," Natasha said. "Come on, Hector, let's dance."
"Fascinating," Dr. Abby Sinian said. She was Callie's maid of honor, and she wore a beautiful dress that would melt anyone's heart out. So much so that it caught Commander Feral's attention. "Do you mind that we study more about the half-Gods, Hades?"
"Not at all," Hades said.
"We would be honored to share our history and how our culture goes well with the Egyptians and Romans," Persephone said.
Natasha got up from her seat, took Hector's hand in hers and made their way to the dance floor. Jake and Callie were already on the dance floor dancing to the music along with the party guests. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now my honor to present to you one of the half-gods to perform the first dance of the newly wedded couple. Let's give it up for Aphrodite!" Queen Callista announced as the guests applauded.
("Fly Me to the Moon-from Squid Game" by Joo Won)
Aphrodite appeared on stage in a beautiful red dress with a live band behind her as the music began with Apollo leading the band and she started singing with Jake and Callie dancing as the guests watched in pure amazement. The dancing lessons that his parents and Chance gave him were really starting to pay off as he didn't make a single mistake. Not even accidentally stepping on Callie's foot. The song came to an end and Jake ended it with dipping Callie and kissing her lips as the crowd applauded.
("I'm Gonna Love You" by Jennifer Love Hewitt)
"I can do this. I can do this," Hector said to himself as he danced with Natasha in his arms.
"Look at Hector go with Natasha, Zeus," Hera said impressed with Hector's moves.
"He really does love her, doesn't he, Hera?" Zeus asked.
"Yes, he does," Anubis said as he walked up to the Greek couple.
"Look who decided to show up," Tommy said.
"Me and Hades had to teach Murray and Burke a lesson for defacing Carter Delsin's grave."
"Ooh, the dead really don't like it when people deface their graves. If there's one thing I know for sure in Egyptian and especially in Greek and Roman mythology is that they respect the dead for sure or they would be terribly cursed," Hector said.
Tommy looked up on his laptop to find Dax, Sam and Shepherdboy Books to see them hosting a Wounded Warriors concert in commemoration of members of the US armed forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the Fourth of July in Megakat Park. "What's going on, Tommy?" Jake asked as he walked up to the table with Callie.
"Nothing. Just looking up on Dax, Sam, and Shepherboy Books to see they are hosting a Wounded Warriors concert with Tony Clawson backing them. It's like some kind of charity concert like Live Aid for the families of fallen veterans and veterans who are struggling in civilian life after being discharged from the military concert," Tommy explained.
"Have you ever thought of doing it along with your other friends?" Callie asked.
"I'll have to talk to them about it, but I want to say congratulations to my sister and my new brother-in-law," Tommy said as he got up from his seat and hugged Jake and Callie.
"Thank you, Tommy," Jake said.
"You know you and your friends can do it for the benefit of those veterans," Callie said.
"She's right. Carter would've wanted us to do this concert in memory of him as well," Hector said.
"It's a 20-minute set. Everyone gets the same. Green Day, Breaking Benjamin, My Chemical Romance, 12 Stones, Five Finger Death Punch, Elton John, Metallica, Bullet for My Valentine, Cradle of Filth, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Avenged Sevenfold, Lee Greenwood, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, The All-American Rejects, Grand Funk Railroad, REO Speedwagon, This Mortal Coil, Rhett Akins, The Sundays, Skillet, Def Leppard, No Doubt, Carole King, Collective Soul, Yellowcard, Journey, Foreigner, Lady Antebellum, The B-52s, Simple Plan, Nickelback, The Muffs, The Clash, Tokio Hotel, Quiet Riot, Guns N' Roses, Hinder, The Rolling Stones, Escape the Fate, Boston, Richard Marx and Donna Lewis and Stevie Wonder," Chance said.
"Certainly, good company," Harvey said.
"Anybody who is anybody is doing this concert," Wally said.
"Look," Hector began as he got his friends' attention. "All I know is that if we wake up the day after this concert and we didn't do our part we're going to regret it till the day we die."
Everyone looked at Hector as if he wants to do it for the veterans and make his father so proud of him and his friends. "Please," Hector pleaded.
"Calm down, Hector, everything's gonna okay," Tommy said.
At that moment, Tony walks up to Tommy and his friends and said to them in secret, "I want you and the others to tail Jake and Callie while they go on their honeymoon in Japan. My sources indicate that Huntress's yakuza, the Crazy 8, are located throughout Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa."
"Roger that," Wally said.
"Also, I got your passports and money in case for food and arranged a hotel for you all to stay."
"Thank you, Mr. Clawson," Tommy said.
"One more thing, there have been reports of a white kat who looks familiar to the late Carter Delsin that some people refer to him as the "Ghost of Okinawa.""
After the party, Jake and Callie boarded a private plane in first class to their honeymoon in Japan. At the same time, Tommy and his friends snuck on board with the help of invisibility from Tommy. "The Ghost of Okinawa?" Wally asked as he examined a photo of the reported sighting of the Ghost of Okinawa. "Was it a slip of the tongue or an intentional clue? Either way, we're not only going to keep a close eye on Jake and Callie, but also look into the reports of this ghost and see if it really is Carter Delsin."
After a long flight, they landed at the Tokyo Narita International Airport. Jake and Callie went through customs while Tommy and the others went with Tony Clawson with the cover story of them going to ninja school. "There are certain areas you kids should avoid especially in the red-light district. I wrote them down on your maps," Tony said.
"Don't worry. We won't go anywhere in those places," Tommy said.
"Besides, I can't wait to eat some of the delicious food here in Japan. Not only sushi, but also Takoyaki, okonomiyaki, Japanese chicken curry and ramen soup in Osaka," Harvey said.
"We also have to avoid Fukushima and other nuclear power plants as well. Just like in Chernobyl, Ukraine former Soviet Union and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, there is no amount of lead or protection gear that can keep out so much radiation," Natasha said.
"I want to play in a Gun Gale Online tournament called Bullet of Bullets to see who the best gunman in the battlefield is," Hector said.
"While you guys are busy with your travel plans, I'm working on the music list we can play at the Wounded Warriors concert," Joey said as he wrote songs on a binder with a pencil.

"Jeez, Joey, can't you take a break from trying to think of songs for us to play? I'm we can worry about that later. I just want to go to Okinawa and get my tan on," Tommy said. "Okinawa is like you're in Hawaii except with the Japanese letters."
"Not to mention that the people of Japan are obsessed with American culture despite Japan's dark history with the US especially the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War 2," Natasha said.
"Let's split up. They'll be looking for six of us, but not in pairs," Hector said. "Tommy, you and Harvey follow Jake and Callie and make sure they don't bump into trouble because you two are good with stealth.
"Got you," Harvey said.
"I won't let you down, my best friend," Tommy said as he padded Hector with his left hand.
"Wally and Joey, you two go to Okinawa to investigate this Ghost of Okinawa."
"Roger that, sir," Wally said as he saluted him.
"On the case, sir," Joey said.
"Natasha, you and I are going to follow the trail of Huntress and her yakuza clan, the Crazy 8."
"You're on," Natasha said as she grabbed Hector's hand and led themselves out.
Back at Megakat City, Chance arrived at Alkatratz Prison to visit Turmoil and investigate more at the prison break that freed Cain with the help of a single person in the prison. After being checked by security and escorted to the visitation room, Chance took his seat as Turmoil entered the room cuffed in chains. "What are you doing here, Chance?" Turmoil asked.
"Turmoil, I'm tired of being alone all the time and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," Chance confessed.
"You mean, you want me to be your bride?" Turmoil asked as she felt her heart skipped a heartbeat.
"Yes, I mean it," Chance said as he got up from his seat and started making out with Turmoil.
At the same time, Kayla was busy combing her red hair when a German Shepherd Dog guard walked up to her. His name is Charles Johnson. "How's my cute fiery redhead doing?" Charles flirted.
"How sweet of you to check up on me," Kayla cooed. "You know, you really shouldn't flirt with female inmates. It wouldn't look very good for a prison guard, Charlie."
"I don't care if you're an assassin, you're still a beautiful vixen and I wouldn't look at you any different if you are an inmate. I always look forward to settle down with the right woman," Charles winked at her.
Kayla blushed at the thought and got up from her seat. "Meet me in the showers in 10 minutes, lover boy."
Author's note: Happy early Valentine's Day, everybody. It took me awhile and hope it was worth the effort. Will the Elite Six keep Jake and Callie safe from the Yakuza? Stay tuned to find out.
