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.

RavageThyCorpse: Really? Cool :D I thought those both were cute too :3


Suddenly, there was a loud crash behind us. It caused everyone, including Thrax and I to jump and turn sharply. It was that cold pill, Drixenol! He had blasted a hole through the door. He was bigger than I imagined, with a gun for a right arm, and a blue object with stalks and balls on his head. "Attention, germs," He announced loudly, holding his gun up. "You are surrounded!" Then, aiming his gun at us, he…started dancing? And chanting, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh, surrounded!"

"Yo, Hammer!" Jones growled through clenched teeth. "You can stop dancin'!"

The faces Jones, Thrax and I could tell you what we were thinking. Jones and Thrax had identical glares, but the former's said, "Stop dancing, you idiot!" and the latter's was, "Do you mind?" Me? I had a, "What the hell?" face.

When Drixenol realized what he was doing, he stopped immediately. With us distracted, Jones kicked us away and wriggled out of the germ's grip, joining his friend. As Thrax pushed germs up, I noticed the blue thing on the pill's head melting. To my surprise, it was that green germ I had met on the spit boat the previous day. When he saw us, he screamed and jumped away. All I could hear him yell was, "La Muerte Roja!" and, "La Hiena Feugo!"

I cocked my hard confused, but my eyes widened. Back at our hideout, I had researched Spanish words in a dictionary Thrax kept, and found out "hiena" meant "hyena" in Spanish. And I knew "feugo" was "fire", so the little guy called me, "The Fire Hyena"

I had also looked up, "perdóname"; it had two meanings: "spare me" and "excuse me". So back at the spit boat, when the germ said, "La hiena de la Muerte Roja! Por favor, Señorita, perdóname!" he was saying, "The hyena of the Red Death! Please, Miss, spare me!" So he was referring to both Thrax and me, and was afraid of both as well. I wonder why I never made the connection until now?

Shaking out of my thinking trance, I started toward the cell and pill, alongside the germs, until the cold pill took out a large, green grenade, saying something about, "For the most stubborn cold symptoms."

The germs and I froze with large eyes. Uh oh, not good! We relaxed when we realized he couldn't get the grenade into his gun. "Darn...child-proof...cap!" He muttered.

"Get him!" Thrax snapped. The germs ran to Jones, while I leapt at Drixenol. He didn't stop trying to shove the grenade into his gun, but when I landed on his arm and tried to sink my fangs into him, he threw me aside. I landed hard on the ground, hitting my head against the wall. With a squeal, I passed out.

I slowly woke up to Thrax muttering, "Almira? Mira, wake up!" Groggily, I stood up in time to see Jones pull the plug out of the grenade and throw it to Thrax, the germs and me. It rolled towards our feet, blue bubbles coming out. Drixenol threw Jones and himself to the ground. The germs flinched back, and I buried my face into Thrax's coat.

*BOOM!* In a cold, blue explosion, the Zit was blasted into oblivion. I somehow found myself gripping Thrax's back as he clung to a flesh stalactite. I looked down and saw we were miles up off the ground. Squeaking with fright, I climbed up and onto his shoulders, ignoring his grunts, and curled around his head, accidentally brushing my tail into his face. "Get'yer tail outta my face!" He snapped, sneezing.

I nuzzled my snout against his cheek apologetically. He dropped his grip from the stalactite, and as we fell, he spread his coat. I moved so I was on his back, and we glided to the ground. Once we landed, we ducked into an alley. "Dammit!" He yelled, startling me as I climbed down to the ground. I rarely heard him swear; only when he was really upset. "That damn blood cell!"

I looked around and spotted two familiar germs. To my surprise, it was Beauford and Bruiser! How'd they survive? Then again, if we could, I guess they could too.

I barked, earning their and Thrax's attention. "Boss!" Bruiser exclaimed as he and Beauford ran to us. "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok!" Thrax snapped. "Pissed off, but I'm ok!"

"Uh…why are you upset?" Beauford asked stupidly.

I facepalmed in disgust. Ohh, this ain't gonna be pretty. I peaked between my fingers to see Thrax's right eye twitching, and his burner claw glowing just faintly. But he somehow managed to keep his temper. "Because that Immunity cell knows our plan." He said slowly. "And no doubt he's gonna tell the Immunity of us. Then we'll need to be extra cautious. See?" He tossed his hands, now realizing something was missing. "Crap, where's my chain?" He exclaimed, looking around.

Sniffing around, I spotted it glistening on the sidewalk where we had landed. He must have dropped it.Looking around, I dashed away from the alley, grabbed it, spun around on my front paws, and ran back; all in about five seconds. I sat by Thrax's feet and pawed at his leg. When he saw the chain in my mouth, he sighed with relief. "Whooh. Baby Girl, you're a life-saver."

Well, I wouldn't quite say that. I thought to myself as he took the chain from my mouth and wrapped it around his wrist. "Alright, let's get back to the hideout."

Nodding, the germs and I followed him to the ingrown toenail. After a few hours, which consisted of running in and out of the shadows, as we passed a newspaper, I saw new papers. I stopped and read a cover: "Loser Cop Fired" And whose picture was on the front? Osmosis Jones!

Laughing to myself, I grabbed the paper and ran after the trio. I couldn't help but wonder why he was fired though.


A/N I'll admit Drix looked pretty ridiculous dancing and chanting while aiming his gun at the germs XD And Ozzy and Thrax both looked funny with their glares XD If you hadn't seen it already, I have that scene on DA, but with Almira added :) That way you can see how she "fits into" the scene. My username is DarkraixCresselia; the picture is called "Osmosis Jones Scene + Almira"

I couldn't quite tell what the germ was saying, so I just added what I KNEW he said, which was "La Muerte Roja!" and I added him saying, "La Hiena Feugo!" Which is "The Fire Hyena!"

It was an early idea to have Almira hanging off of Thrax's coat and to look down, squeak with fright, and climb up onto his shoulders. Later, I added her accidentally brushing her tail into Thrax's face, and him snapping at her to get it out of his face. My younger brother (he's 12, four years younger than me until April 22nd this year) suggested him sneezing.

Yeah, I added Thrax having a sailor mouth. I imagine him to be really frustrated after getting caught by an Immunity cell, no matter how cool he played it out.

The next Thrax scene in the next chapter is another one of my favorites :3
