The only time to look down on someone is when you're bending over to help- Amish Proverb
"It's… SO CUTE!" Latvia shrieked, bouncing up and down. Russia looked a bit taken back by this response but nonetheless opened the cage.
What came running out on It's little four legs was enough to make both Lithuania and Estonia grin. A short chubby animal, covered in peachy fur hopped out of the cage and shook itself off. It had a small waggy tail and a large snout, and it happily pounced on Latvia and licked his face.
"Awww~ such the good boy!" Latvia said in between giggles. He pet the animal's head and hugged him wholeheartedly. folded his hands behind his back and looked at them with the same creepy, hateful smile. "W-What should we name?" Latvia said, still hugging the mutant.
"It's quite chubby…" Lithuania came closer to examine it, and ran a hand down it's back.
Estonia put his hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing. "What is it?" asked Latvia. Estonia burst into a fit of giggles. "Fatvia", he said, wiping a tear from his eye. A look of horror crossed Latvia's face. "No!" He whispered.
The mutant sniffed and snorted happily, as if accepting the name. Estonia and Lithuania were doubling over with laughter. Even couldn't help himself. "No, no, no!" shouted Latvia. "Anything but that!" but the name was decided, and was no longer mad at Estonia.
However, next was his turn. Russia came to the cage in the middle, and looked over it peculiarly. This was the largest of the three cages, and it was wobbling around and growling. "This is Estonia's mutant." Russia said.
" He was combined with bull and wolf." He took out a paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and read it. " My scientists have also altered him so be able to lactate in order to provide for other mutants. To help them get correct nutrients" He shrugged and put the paper back. "Mmm-da. Well here it is!"
He took the cloth off the cage and the Baltics looked it up and down in horror. A large beast, no less than seven feet tall, stood snarling in the cage. It looked just about like a werewolf, except for the hooves on it's back legs and the ropy tail. It's face had a more wolfish look, with the long snout, threatening under-bite, and sharp teeth. It was completely covered in matted brown fur, but the parts that stood out most, were the long floppy udders, like a cow's. They looked almost laughable.
Fatvia yipped when he recognized the beast, but Estonia stood there with a look of shock frozen on his face. decided now was a great time to have some fun, and quickly unlocked the tight cage. The mutant jumped out the cage and took off after Estonia, quite happy to see his new owner. Estonia shrieked, scrambling up the stairs, and locking the door to the basement.
He slid to the floor with relief when he could no longer hear the beast pounding on it. He only wondered how he could have made his mutant so angry already. On the other side of the door, the beast whimpered and looked at for an explanation. "Aww, You're such ugly not even your owner wants you" Russia said mockingly, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.
"Looks like you're such an pathetic abomination, you'll just be left to die alone." The beast whimpered more and slid to the floor, leaning against the door. Fatvia went to comfort him and lick his ears.
Russia turned his attention towards the last cage, and Lithuania tensed up at what he might have to see, considering how widely different the two previous mutants were. "Well" Began , "Last one, isn't it, Lietva? This one was made with wolf and crocodile genetics. Interesting…" He pretended to be thoughtful for one second, before smiling again and throwing off the cloth.
Inside the metal cage, was what looked like a severely starved, green dog. As soon as it saw the light and new people, it whimpered and tried to get as far away from the cage door as possible.
Lithuania came closer for a better look. The animal had a long bony tail, with a pointed arrow at the end, like a devil's, and a long, crocodile-like snout with sharp, yellowed teeth. It's head was covered with a shaggy brown mane, and it as soon as it saw Lithuania, it began to calm down. "Why the pointed tail?" He asked .
"Can't scientists have bit of fun?" Russia replied, smiling down at the mutant. "He's real bony too…" Lithuania said, slowly reaching his hand into the cage to scratch the mutant's chin.
"He is sick, poor guy" Russia shook his head in mock pity. "I know!" shouted Latvia, speaking for the first time in a while. "Why not call… Boney!" "Boney…" Lithuania thought out loud. "Mr. Russia, may I?" He asked, reaching for the key.
Russia nodded and gave him the key. Lithuania unlocked the cage and helped the mutant out. Poland's voice echoed in his mind again, 'There you totally go, Liet. Freaking out!' Lithuania helped the animal out gently, checking it over to make sure it didn't get hurt in the cage.
Something Poland would never do, would he? Because he never freaks out, does he!? "Boneliet" Lithuania whispered, running his hand down the soft mane.
"Boneliet! I love it." Latvia said, bouncing on his feet. The basement door suddenly creaked open, and Estonia creeped in, fully dressed and hair toweled. "Is it safe?" He asked, closing the door behind him.
"Of course it safe! He was just happy to see you, Esti." Said Latvia. "In that case…" Estonia kneeled down in front of his mutant. "I might have misjudged you."
The animal leaned into his hand, and Estonia pet him happily. "What should I call you?" he asked. "How about something bad-ass?" Lithuania piped up. Latvia nodded. "Like thunder, or spike, or shred?"
"I'll name him Shred. Shreduard." Estonia explained, chuckling at how brilliant he was at combing words with names. Russia was eyeing them like a salty child. He swung the large metal pipe in his hand and brought it down on the cage closest to him, immediately startling every Baltic and mutant in the room.
"Abominations back in cages. Each of you, get back to work." Shreduard growled at Russia but went back into the cage, as well as the other mutants.
Boneliet got in with his tail tucked between his legs, and Lithuania was sad to see him go. The three of them went back upstairs to continue their chores, wondering if god was staring down on them right now, and where did he think he was going with this.
