Chapter .5: The 50-year world war.
Two Ethiopian scientists would be standing in a dark room with a large object in front of them.
"I can't believe it..." Said one of the scientists. The other nodded,
"I know... They expected this kind of bomb to be invented by the 20s... But it's only 2015..." Said the other scientist.
"We can't let this get out there... It'll destroy the world..." Said The main scientist.
"Mr. Abai... We need to destroy this and go into hiding... Quickly..." Said his partner. Mr. Abai sighed, looking over at his partner. Their faces weren't easy to see as the darkness in the room was overwhelming.
"... Dejen... No need to worry... We can run some tests while we have it, this has been a top secret for years... We're fine..." Abai said. Dejen nodded, looking back at his computer. Dejens eye's widened,
"100 Megatons of TNT... Good lord... This needs to be destroyed!!" Dejen shouted. Abai looked over at Dejen, smirking.
"It's alright... If we use this against our enemies... We can become the rulers of this planet..." Dejen looked at Abai, raising a brow.
"What're you talking about...?" Dejen asked, shaking in fear. Abai stood up, looking at his hand. Abai's head then shot looking over at Dejen.
"I feel as if I could do anything... I will... Create the most powerful being in existence..." Abai said. Dejen looked at Abai in horror.
"... What... What do you keep saying..." Dejen said. Abai started chuckling menacingly. The chuckle then turned into a laugh,
"We will be the strongest, Dejen!!" Abai shouted. Abai then stepped toward Dejen. Dejen stood up, falling backward. Dejen pulled out his gun, pointing it at Abai,
"WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU ABAI!?" Dejen shouted. Abai laughed harder,
"WRONG?? I'M PERFECTLY FINE!!" Abai shouted. The sweat on Dejen's face fell onto the ground.
"THIS IS INSANE!!" Dejen said,
"WE'RE SCIENTISTS NOT TYRANTS!!" Dejen shouted. Abai glared down at Dejen,
"THEN YOU ARE A FOOL!! DO YOU NOT SEE THE POWER WE HOLD!??" Abai shouted. Dejen pointed his gun at Abai's head,
"YOU CANNOT!!" Dejen shouted. Dejen pulled the trigger, shooting. He fell backward and the bullet flew through Abai's chest. Abai fell to the ground. Suddenly the knocked the door down. Dejen's eyes widened standing up and typing on his computer. Dejen then got shot in the back as he typed on the computer.
"NO!-" He shouted, falling backward onto the ground. The Ethiopian military then ran into the building with rifles and flashlights.
"Secure the grounds, take the computers, take anything you find!" Shouted the general. The soldiers then roamed the place.
"Well... Look at that..." Said the general, looking at the huge object that resembled a bomb.
"Take it, and tell our scientists to make more... We could use these to our advantage..." Said the general. His men nodded, talking on a radio. The general grinned,
"Also... Have their bodies preserved... We'll need them at some point..." The general finished.
In the year 2018, The Ethiopian MIlitary began testing a new kind of nuclear weapon that two young scientists had secretly created. They tested the weapon on the ice continent of Antarctica, destroying it in the process. In doing this, multiple sea-level countries on coasts either sunk or vanished right off the map in under months. Word of this flooding reached allied nations across the world. They were taken aback in disbelief. A few weeks after the Argentinian government sent 20,000 troops to Ethiopia to invade and stop what their military was doing. They slaughtered all the civilians in the town of Askum. Ethiopia had heard of this news and declared war on Argentina.
Years had gone by and the war had escalated. Foreign counties had picked their sides, Ethiopia and Argentina alongside many other countries were going head to head like you would think. Until the day... August 3rd, 2068, Ethiopia had dropped the nuclear weapons on The United States Of America, Russia, and Canada. These bombs had the chance of either killing you or giving you inhuman abilities at the price of half your human life span. About half the worlds population had died to these bombs.
The world's population had dropped to 3.9 Billion. All the remaining countries had signed peace treaties ending the conflict which was organized by Japan.
Today, many of the worlds top doctors are trying to figure out a cure for the abilities or what they call "diseases". The remaining countries have closed off their borders with walls, underground facilities, and bunkers. The only people who can travel between countries are either high military soldiers or high-ranking officials. The average civilian is usually categorized for use. For example, my name is Yuki Homura. I'm currently a first-year high school student at 15-years-old. When I was 11-years-old I went to my local doctor and he told me I would live until I was 53. My mother was devastated. When I turned 13, I had found my powers.The average person that survived the explosions developed a new gene, giving them the ability to fly.You could also have one or two more abilities. Usually, the doctors knew your ability. Not me.
I was a particular case. My abilities were unknown but they knew it had some potential. The world has made a new sorting system as I mentioned earlier. Depending on how powerful your ability was, you were classed in a type of hierarchy. My little brother and sister had gotten their abilities, but they had no potential. My mother cried for what felt like months knowing they'd be sent to the worst of all places, The 10th District. I never said anything because I would be heading to the 13th District, where the rich and famous live. Neo-Tokyo and my siblings are headed to America. When we were headed to the transport station, we hugged for what felt like hours.
I had said goodbye to my mother. She told me to say Hello to my father for her. I don't know who my father well at all. I had boarded the transport ship and waved to my sobbing mother. I felt sick to my stomach. I told myself, I'll fix this cruel world. I'm going to cure this virus and save the world!
