A/N So… yeah. We kinda forgot about this/ got too busy to do this. Hopefully this long chapter makes up for it though. For the record, we read all the reviews and always meant to get back to it, but senior and junior years were a real pain in the ass. No promises that we'll do more relatively soon, but that's the plan. We hope. This episode was inspired by 72 Dangerous Animals: Australia, which was fun to watch. Anyway, enjoy.

Welcome to Australia: Leave Your Phobias At Home

Chuck was pleased with Himself. It had been a great idea, instructing all of His children to create one more animal to put on the Earth. While Michael and Lucifer had already created several animals, some of the younger ones didn't. Speaking of which…

He crouched down to smile at Hannah as she ran up to him, holding something in her hands.

"Daddy Daddy look!" The mammal she was holding was quite small. "Its a kangaroo! It'll be bigger than this but look how cute the baby is!"

Well, she was right. It was quite cute. The Earth could use some more calm herbivores. Its front legs weren't long enough though, it didn't look like it could walk on all fours.

"How does it walk, Hannah?" he asked her gently. Maybe she hadn't thought of that.

"It doesn't walk, silly! It hops! Hop Hop Hop! Like a bunny." She smiled up at him.

"Okay, very nice! Can it do anything else? Those claws looked sharp, maybe it climbed up trees, like the koala?

Hannah nodded again. "Yeah! It can jump up with its big legs and kick out really strongly!" She demonstrated, but fell. "And scratch at you with its claws to make you go away." Chuck picked her up and put her back on her feet. Well, it was a bit more violent than He was expecting, but still would be a wonderful addition.

"Alright, well where do you want to put it?" He gestured at the Earth. Maybe Europe, or the Americas could use some more mammals. Hannah studied the Earth closely, before walking to the other side. "There! I want the kangaroo to live there! She pointed at the large island. Chuck sighed as he walked over, looking at the barren wasteland.

"Oh honey, that won't be any good. Look, there's not much food and there's not many other animals there." Hannah started tearing up. "No, okay, see, I'm putting it there, okay?" She nodded, tears gone.

"Thanks, Daddy!" She ran away, still holding onto the kangaroo. Perhaps Australia would be an okay place for animals and eventually humans to live after all.

Gabriel was not, per se, the most creative angel in heaven. His several dwarf planets on the outer edges of the solar system could attest to that. But he was quite devious, and he didn't need much creativity when making a new creature anyway. He could just copy off the old ones. Dad wouldn't mind, right?

"No."

"But Daaaad! It's different! Look! Its a mammal that lays eggs!"

"Gabriel, I said you needed to create your own animal. You clearly just pieced together some old parts from my other creations." Chuck looked at the… thing that Gabriel was cradling in his arms. It was quite ugly. It looked like the child had simply taken a beaver and added a duck bill to it. It laid eggs though, so that was unique. He sighed.

"Alright Alright. Does it do anything else?"

Gabriel cheered, before laying the thing down on the ground. "Yeah! It can kick you with the spikes on its feet and kill you!"

Chuck blinked. Well He couldn't say no now. "Alright, we could put it in…" He scanned the globe for a good place to put it. "Australia, sound good?" Gabriel just hugged his platypus in agreement and nodded.

Castiel had jumped at the chance to make a new creature to put on Earth. Now that he was a bit older, he took it as a chance to prove himself, to create something that neither Chuck nor the entire Earth would ever forget.

"My creation is done!" Castiel proudly shouted to Chuck. A dark, shiny bug was crawling on his hand. It was clearly yet another variation of one of Chuck's least favorite creations.

"Another spider?" Chuck cried. "Why do we have to have so many spiders?"

"Because they're cool!" Castiel offered the arachnid to his Father, who strongly insisted the angel keep it with him. He had never really liked spiders, but He was the one who kept introducing new kinds of them, so that was on Him.

"So what makes it different from any other old spider?"

"It'll be the most venomous spider IN THE WORLD! And they have big fangs! I call it the Funnel-Web Spider, because their webs is a pit of death, down into their secret underground lair."

Chuck sighed. He never understood why His angels kept feeling the need to one-up each other's dangerous creatures. "Okay… why do we need it if the only thing special about it is poison? We have enough spiders already."

"Because to humans, death is inevitable, unavoidable, just a part of life. If we don't make more ways to make it come sooner then everyone is just going to grow up to be a sad, lonely-"

"Okay, okay, that's enough!" Chuck had forgotten that Cas was still in his angsty teen phase. "We'll just put it in Australia then, anything to get rid of it! Just, please, get out of here and... go for a walk, or something."

Castiel left his Funnel-Web Spider on Chuck's desk, and Chuck sent the species to Australia, shaking His head and hoping to himself that nobody would end up living there.

Balthazar had certainly never been known for being a responsible angel, especially not after the dinosaurs, but every now and again he would be trusted to create a new species or two. He was practically overflowing with inspiration now, so it was a perfect time to get going.

"I hope Dad likes it…" Balthazar muttered to himself as he shaped his creation. "It definitely has a lot of color, he eats that shit up!"

The creature had been inspired by a previous one; Balthazar planned on introducing it as 'The Octopus with a colorful twist!' Seemed exciting enough. But it couldn't just be colorful. Something was missing. He had to give it that Balthazar flair…

"I've got it!" he shouted, adding a few "finishing touches", which were actually quite major, but, well, Chuck would find out for himself.

"Done already? That was… fast…" Chuck commented, beginning to worry.

Chuck took the creature from Balthazar, actually a bit relieved. It was like an octopus, but with many small rings on it. And it was tiny; that explained how he had gotten done so fast. "If I didn't know any better, Balthazar, I'd say it's actually pretty cute!"

"Isn't it lovely?" Balthazar replied. "But watch, it gets better!"

Suddenly, the octopus's rings began to glow a vibrant shade of blue. Chuck laughed. "That's adorable! What does that mean?"

"Oh, that. That means it's about to murder you with its deadly venom," Balthazar deadpanned, and Chuck, despite being immortal, quickly dropped the creature on the ground.

"Why is it always venom with you guys?!" Chuck shouted, exasperated.

A few moments passed before Balthazar continued. "Soooo….. Do you like it?"

"It's definitely... creative?"

Balthazar waited eagerly for His decision.

Chuck sighed. "Fine. I can put it in Australia, how about that?"

"YES!" Balthazar exclaimed in victory and ran off with glee.

Chuck remembered the other creations he had put in that strange land, Australia. He just hoped this wouldn't become a thing.

...It had become a thing.

"Dad, look what I made!" Michael announced, proudly striding into Chuck's office.

"Oh, Michael! Thank myself that it's you this time; your creations are always some of the best, and much less violent than- whatthefuckisthat?" His praise was interrupted by actually taking a look at the creation, which was some kind of version of a shark that looked like it simply had a large blade strapped to the center of its face.

"You should watch your language, Dad. After all, you are the Lord Almighty, so you should set a good example."

Chuck pressed a hand to His forehead, wondering when his eldest son had absorbed his brothers' sass. "Okay, sure, fine. But what is that?"

"I call it a sawfish! It'll go around the ocean and when it needs to eat, it'll just take that big sharp nose it has, find some innocent unsuspecting fish, and cut it in half! Isn't that coo-"

"Stop, stop, stop! That's enough; I've made my decision about that... that thing." Chuck sighed.

"Dad, can we keep it? Please?" Michael begged. He didn't seem to want any of his hard work to go down the drain. Chuck almost sympathized, yes, but his next decision was mostly based on the fact that He was scared of what would happen if He refused.

"Yes, okay. Why not, at this point. We'll just... stick it in Australia. Again."

Lucifer hated this. Why did he have to make another animal? He'd already made a whole bunch, but noooo Dad just had to see what all of His children could make, didn't he? Well, he'll show him what Lucifer could do.

"Alright, Dad, I'm done! Look at this." Chuck turned to see Lucifer coming up to Him, and internally groaned. He didn't want to see anymore dangerous, venomous, flesh eating- where was it?

"Son… where is your animal?" He was getting quite nervous at Lucifer's grin.

"Oh, don't you see it?" Lucifer said innocently. "I can't imagine why you missed it, look right there." He pointed a spot in the air next to Chuck's head. Chuck squinted.

"Where- oh there it is. It's kinda… cute." He was suspicious. Lucifer didn't do 'cute'. The thing was tiny and spherical, barely the size of a fingernail. "It looks like some type of fish or something."

"Or something," Lucifer agreed, maintaining his innocent expression. He'd seen what his siblings had been up to, and decided to be a little sneakier about presenting his animal. "I called it an Irukandji."

"Irukandji" Chuck muttered to Himself. He started to walk around it, then stopped when He ran into some threads in the air. Something didn't seem right though. "Well…" He said slowly, waiting for Lucifer to add more to it. "It's pretty simplistic, but I guess it can work. What does it eat?"

Lucifer grinned. Gott'em! "Oh it uses its meter long tentacles to grab onto fish and inject its venom, then eats them. It's venom is highly potent and can even kill large animals."

Chuck groaned. Tentacles could only mean one thing- jellyfish. And tentacles meant- "Lucifer, did you trick me into walking into the tentacles of this, this,"

"Irukandji." Lucifer replied, grinning, while starting to walk away. "I hope you like it!" he called as he flew away. "

"I know what it's called! Lucifer, get back here! Lucifer!" He called after him, before putting His head in His hands. Well, now He had to put it somewhere. He sighed. Australia it was then. Hopefully humans would never make it to Australia

Approximately 40,000 years BCE

Chuck groaned as the humans made their way to Australia. There went that idea.
