Yellow Sun Academy

According to history books, the day the world changed was when the sun exploded. It was just one day. One day like any other day, except something extraordinary happened. Something that no one thought they would ever see. At least, not for a few billion years. The sun had exploded.

The once bright-yellow sun, shining high in the sky, given the planet warmth and light had exploded. As the sun exploded, it shook the very Earth. People were scared and panicking. They feared for their lives, but once they calmed down, and looked up, they saw it. They saw a new red sun. Everyone was stunned and amazed. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Their eyes were glued to the sun. Scientists all over the world immediately started to study it. They took thousands of notes and recordings, detailing everything. The scientists wanted to know everything they could and moved with haste. Even the people were interested in their new sun. For a while, it seemed magnificent. Then, it started to happen. People started to realize what their new red sun was doing to the environment.

It seemed the radiation from the new red sun was different from the previous yellow sun. As time went on, radiation from the red sun started to mutate the plant lives. It started small at first. The grasses and weeds sprouted uncontrollably. Leaves would take over whole trees, covering them entirely. No one could understand what was going on. In only a few months, vines became as hard as steel. Seaweeds started snapping at any passing swimmers and fishes. Tree barks could regenerate at unbelievable speeds. The new plants grabbed the attention of all scientists. They studied the plants in an attempt to understand what was going on. However, since the scientists became too busy studying the plants, they didn't notice what was about to happen next.

The radiation had gotten into the food cycle, and the animals and bugs that ate the mutated plants began to mutate themselves. Mice and rats reproduced at accelerated rates with hundreds in only a few minutes. Ants and cockroaches could now work together to form solid shapes such as limbs strong enough to break through brick walls. Even the simple flies had mutated. Now, flies could hold electric charges. They would use these charges to burn through fly swatters. What few of the mice, ants, and flies that were slow to mutate were quickly eaten by other animals, and it wasn't long before the whole animal became mutated.

The mutated animals became stronger. They became smarter too. They became aggressive and before anyone could do anything, the animals started attacking people, and then, whole cities. They lay waste to anyone and anything they see. No armies could defeat or even defend against them, and very soon, the animals had taken over the world. They forced what was left of the human race into hiding.

The survivors at the time hid wherever they could. They hid in destroyed buildings and abandoned cars. They hid underground in caves and sewers. They hid wherever there were as little animals or insects as possible. At this time, it seemed like the end of everything. It seemed like the end of the human race. The animals were too strong and there was nothing the people could do. After 30 years of hiding, and on the verge of extinction, one man finally learned how to turn the table.

From the few stories in the history books, a lone survivor, known only as "Monty", was living in a small cave hidden high in the mountain. Every day, Monty would go outside and look up at the sun. He would think of the once-yellow sun and curse the new red sun. It was because of this that he discovered something important. While walking around the mountain, hiding for food, Monty was attacked by the animals. He tried to outrun them but couldn't. They had tracked him down and forced him onto a cliff. Trapped between a ledge and the animals, it was there that Monty discovered his newfound "gifts". He discovered that the red sun had not only mutated the plants and animals but also mutated him. Monty's gifts allowed him to see things like never before. He could see things all around him without having to turn his head. Harnessing his gift, he tricked the animals as they attacked him. Whether from the sides or from behind, Monty dodged their attacks and pushed them off the ledge, killing them. Upon his victory, Monty realized what he had to do now. He ran back to his cave, packed what few supplies he had left, and started his journey all across the world.

Monty walked and walked for months. He traveled around the ruins of the world fearlessly, looking for people and gathering any allies he could. In his travels, Monty told others what had happened to him. He told them about his gift and how he planned to use it to defeat the animals, but first, that he would need help from others. During this, Monty learned that not everyone had mutated. On average, only one out of roughly 50 people had mutated and received gifts. Nevertheless, Monty managed to build himself an army, an army of people with gifts. He leads that army in a fight to reclaim the world from the animals. The animals didn't back down, however, and for over 10 years, there was a non-stop war between man and animals. Finally, though, mankind had won, and a new era of peace and prosperity began.

With the red sun shining brightly and the discoveries of gifts, it didn't take long for mankind to rebuild everything. Slowly but steadily, cities were built again. As new cities were built, it led to a massive advancement in technology. Very soon, whole cities became entirely solar-powered. Buildings became stronger and bigger than ever before. Such things as flying cars and even flying trains were no longer fictional. Everything had solar panels on them. The need for gas and coals vanish without a trace. The air became much cleaner, and even the people seemed healthier. They stopped eating meat and would go outside more often to bake in the red sun's light. It seems like everything was better and mankind was at its peak. However, despite all of this, there were still attacks from vicious animals.

The mutated animals still hadn't given up. They would attack cities, trying their hardest to break down the walls and destroy countless buildings in the hope of reclaiming the land. People with gifts would hold them off but every now and then, another city would fall. Monty, who was an old man by now but still the hero of this new world, knew that he couldn't leave the world like this and so he spent the remainder of his life building a special academy.

In this academy, he, along with his dearest and most trusted friends, taught people not only how to use their gifts better but also how to combat the animals. Monty developed classes and courses in the hope that he could train what he called fighters, people with gifts, to protect and defend the world from the mutated animals. He made sure that they were all properly taught and trained before being given special jobs and missions that would force his fighters to journey into the Wild. As Monty started his academy, many cities and countries followed in his footsteps and started their own academies, but none were ever as recognized as Monty's academy. With his last breath, Monty named his fighter academy after the old sun. He named his academy, Yellow Sun Academy, and for over 100 years, Yellow Sun Academy stood strong, training the best fighters in the world.
