Revival
The dead should be left dead, but it is a natural obstacle sometimes. It is a well-discussed topic in Science fiction and occult circles to bring back the dead, by any means. Should such a feat be done, that would be… The results are unknown, as if now.
Japan's house was styled according to the simple traditional houses of suburban Japan. Both America and Russia were guests in Japan's home, staring at the automated female-looking realistic robot serving them tea. Japan himself sipped his own tea, and smiled to his two foreigner "friends".
"America-san and Russia-san, I believe you are pleased with the gynoids," Japan said.
"They are pretty," America said, but then he glared at the Russian, "but why bring that guy along with us?"
"America, I share borders with Japan. It's naturally I can easily access his house," Russia answered, "and Japan invited me here."
"What?" the America exclaimed.
"I apologise, America-san," Japan said immediately, "and Russia-san, do you have it?"
"Da," Russia replied.
He put his briefcase on the tabletop and unlocked it. Inside, there were several glass vials. In each of them, they contained a pale liquid.
"What are those?" America questioned, still glaring at Russia.
"Let me explain," Japan said, standing up, "would you follow me please?"
Japan turned behind and opened up the door. It was dark in there and a flight of stairs was seen, leading to even more darkness. America and Russia both followed the Japanese man down the stairs, where they realised it was automatic as well.
"I'm scared…" America whispered.
"You can always hug me, da?" Russia remarked.
"Fuck you…" America cursed.
The three Nations stopped as they entered the basement area of Japan's house. In sharp contrast to the simplicity of Japan's house, the basement was metallic and seemed like a scene from a science fiction movie.
"Welcome to my research area," Japan declared, "here, Japanese technology is making great progress in unravelling the secrets of Nature."
"I knew it!" America exclaimed, jumping around, "you have some crazy idea, right?"
"Correct," Japan stated, "Russia-san, would you please?"
"Da," Russia replied.
He took one of the vials from his case and handed it to Japan. Japan walked towards one of the machines in the chamber, and inserted the contents of the vial. Japan quickly keyed in on the computer, before turning back to explain.
"America-san and Russia-san, I shall reveal to you my plans," Japan declared, "I shall revive… the extinct woolly mammoth!"
"Wow, that's cool!" America exclaimed, "It will be just like in my movies… like the…Jurassic Park!"
"America, mammoths did not exist in the Jurassic Period," Russia pointed out.
"But can't we revive something cooler like dinosaurs?" America asked.
"We cannot collect tissue samples from their fossils," Japan explained, "but we can do so for the mammoth. This machine will be an incubator and putting in mammoth cells can, in theory, produce an actual living mammoth. Observe."
The machine began to shake and vibrate vigorously. A hatch to the side began to slide open, but the entire machine exploded and bursted into flames.
"No, my life's work!" exclaimed the Japanese man, "it's all ruined! I do not deserve to live…"
"Don't worry, I still have lots of samples left," Russia remarked cheerfully.
"And we can try using a real elephant instead," America suggested, "we still have five more years. Your scientists have already said that."
Author's Notes
This is no joke; Japanese scientists have claimed that they could revive the mammoth. According to them, they plan to inject mammoth genes into the womb of an elephant. Hence, a mammoth would be born. Scientists from USA and Russia are also taking part in this operation.
