World War Three happened sooner than expected.

Some would have thought humans learned their lesson.

Fifteen years after World War Two the Axis powers banded together to strike back again. The war started in 1960 and ended in 1964, when atomic bombs threatened humanity.

Countries were being blown off of maps, radiation filled the air, mutations began to rise. The warfare didn't cease until too late. Humanity was already on the brink of extinction.

Japan fell first, then Russia, then England and Germany and America. Soon, every major and minor country had fallen to the radiation.

But there was hope. People from all countries were rising from the dust. They began to change, they adapted to their new environment.

200 years later, humanity is thriving once again. New countries have formed, new animals, new traditions and laws. Most importantly, new humans.

The radiation caused humans to adapt too well. Some grew fins and gills, eventually breathing underwater. Others were immune to extreme heat or cold.

But every human had two new abilities, and as the years go on and the threat of radioactive exposure decreases, those abilities change from survival necessities to party tricks.

The common number of powers is two. No one knows why, but two is the number. Powers range from inhuman speed to creating fire with a thought. But, humanity is still the same with violence. War is brewing between the countries again, and these destructive powers are no better than nuclear bombs.

It's only a matter of time until once again humans become the cause of their own demise.
