A/N After becoming a fan of the movie, Osmosis Jones, I made an OC: a pet hyena for Thrax, named Almira. I decided to introduce her by telling her life story. Her picture can be found in my DeviantART gallery; I go as DarkraixCresselia there.

I own only Almira and any other characters you won't recognize. The ones you DO recognize from OJ are owned by Warner Brothers.


It was a year after I decided to stay with Thrax. He had been doing pretty well with his killings; so well, he was going to try and bring down the next victim within 48 hours.

So we were in this chimp's body at a zoo. Thrax had seen this man talking with his daughter. "There it is, Almira." Thrax grinned. "The big one. That one's gonna be our record breaker."

I smirked at the man, who was salting a hard-boiled egg. "From what I heard, his name's Frank, and he don't take care of himself too well. We're gonna go in there, recruit some germs, make like we're just a common cold, then nab that bead." He pinched a part in his hypothalamus chain, which was filled with several beads, making one stick out. I tapped it with my nose and smiled up at Thrax.

Then, the chimp grabbed the egg and shoved it in its mouth. "Here's our ride." We leapt onto the surface of the egg. Using our claws, we burrowed into it and waited. For a long time, as the egg was dropped in the dirt, picked back up and eaten, we waited.

Soon, we were waiting in a big gooey mess. It was disgusting! But I stayed put. Finally, just as we were dozing off, the glop we were in was lifted. I shook Thrax awake as we were moved to the left and lowered into a spit boat. I overheard the cells working talking about "Sending a letter to the mayor about washing our hands before we eat."

I raised one eyebrow and exchanged glances with Thrax at this. The guy doesn't wash his hands before he eats? I thought that was a basic rule: always wash your hands before eating. Even though Thrax and I are killers, we practiced hygiene.

Thrax just shrugged. "At least there'll be plenty of germs to recruit."

Then, through a small hole made by the suction device, I could see the cell working. To get his attention, Thrax and I shifted our positions, making squelching noises, and I growled softly. When the suction machine was shoved into the glop, Thrax pulled it out of the cell's grip and turned it on him, sucking him into the backpack. His friend came over nervously, calling out for him. Tipping my head back, I let loose a stream of fire, causing us and the glop to fall, making goo fly everywhere.

I stood up first and shook myself off. As Thrax stood up behind me and tipped his head back to get the excess goo off of his head, I grinned at the terrified cell, revealing sharp teeth. He backed up against the cabin of the boat, staring frightened up at Thrax as he and I crept nearer to him. "Holy spit!" He muttered. He glanced at me, Thrax and at his gun before dropping it and grinning uneasily at Thrax.

Thrax pulled his left hand out of his coat, revealing his glowing claw illuminating his face "Careful," He smirked. "I'm contagious."

I chuckled evilly in a high-pitched feminine voice. Thrax reached out and tapped the cell in the shoulder with his claw. "Tap."

Slowly, the cell glowed orange with bubbles popping all over his body. He screamed in pain as he exploded.

Pushing back his dreadlocks and humming his song, Thrax sashayed alongside the cabin, running his claw along the wall, leaving a trail of glowing orange that quickly spread. I followed alongside him up the stairs to the wheel of the boat as it burst into flames around us. I sat next to Thrax as he put on his sunglasses. "Think I'll turn up the heat in here." He laughed as we sailed through and down the throat, leaving trails of fire in our wake.

As I put my front paws on the edge of the deck and let my tongue hang out, Thrax chuckled and scratched the back of my neck. "This is gonna be our best victim yet. Imagine, taken down in less than two days. No one else has done that. We'll get ourselves into the medical books yet!"

I threw my head back and cackled evilly. As we slowed to a stop, Thrax clapped a hand over my mouth. "Shush!" He looked over his shoulder, then whispered into my ear, "Don't get us caught!"

When I nodded, he let my mouth go. We jumped off of the boat and started to run off. But something caught my eye. It was a little green germ with multiple eyes. Curious, I approached it. It scurried back frightened, muttering, "La hiena de la Muerte Roja! Por favor, Señorita, perdóname!"

Since I didn't speak much Spanish, I had no idea what the little guy was saying. But I knew that "la Muerte Roja" meant "the Red Death", but he also said "Señorita", which meant, "Miss". So I didn't know whether he was talking about Thrax or me. Of course, he also said "por favor", which meant, "please". But what do "hiena" and "perdóname" mean?

"Mira! What're you doin'?" Thrax yelled, making me jump and the germ run for cover. "C'mon, we don't have much time."

Shaking my head at my confusion, I trotted after Thrax. I could worry about Spanish translations later.


A/N Here it is, the Osmosis Jones movie :D Since Almira is in it, I'll add some more details. But nothing too major, of course ;)

I gotta say I LOVE Thrax's entrance. And his line. One of the best villain entrances and starting lines :D

I love that cute little germ :3 Thanks to him, I know another Spanish word: muerte. I had already known what "Roja" meant.

Also, what the little germ said was, "The hyena of the Red Death! Please, Miss, spare me!" I had used Google Translate to do it, and when I tested it by copying the Spanish sentence and translating it to English, it was "Excuse me" instead of "Spare me" which was annoying X( But I don't know much Spanish, so we'll just go with that.
