Author's Notes: I've never written Mytrax (Myaxx/Tetrax), but I like how this one-shot came out. I don't like Myaxx's redesign for Alien Force, which is what prompted this. Quick warning, there's some mild swearing.

“Damn him!”
Tetrax flinched, thankful that the automatic doors prevented the Chimera Sui Generis from slamming the door upon her entrance. Until the moment that she had entered, everything had been serene and peaceful, perfect conditions to work on fixing the blown fuse in his ship. Knowing the task would be impossible with a raging Chimera in the room, Tetrax carefully set down his tools and turned around to face her, “What is it this time, Myaxx?”
There was nothing that the Petrosapien was able to do to keep his jaw from dropping open at the sight of the Chimera Sui Generis. “Wow,” he breathed out lightly, astounded at the complete change in Myaxx.
Whereas she had once been larger than him, she was now petite. Her facial tentacles had receded, giving a more feminine appearance to the Chimera Sui Generis. It was an unnatural look.
Her red eyes narrowed and she snapped, “What?!”
Despite having changed her appearance, she was much the irritable Myaxx that Tetrax had grown to like. Quickly the Petrosapien asked her a question that he hoped would make her forget about his earlier expression, “Did Azmuth do this to you?”
Myaxx glared again except this time the glare was directed past Tetrax’s shoulder at a being that wasn’t present. “Yes.”
“How?”
“One of his stupid experiments.” Myaxx crossed her arms. “He said he wanted to make me more ‘docile’.” She spat out the word with a look of pure hatred.
“Well, he clearly failed.” Tetrax murmured. Myaxx was as rude as ever.
“He refuses to reverse it. Says that I’ll be stuck like this forever.” She grumbled, obviously not happy about the fate Azmuth had shoved upon her.
“You’ll get used to it.” Tetrax replied though he wasn’t entirely sure. He looked her over again and decided that he preferred the old Myaxx. Her new appearance didn’t suit her.
“I hate this. How am I going to get anywhere looking like this?” Despite having returned to helping Azmuth out with his inventions, Myaxx still spent plenty of time conducting her own business around the galaxy. Tetrax wasn’t sure what it was, but he could imagine several of her cohorts laughing at the change and several others launching themselves at her. The thought made Tetrax tremble.
“Well…” Tetrax paused. Words had to be handled carefully when speaking with the Chimera Sui Generis. Saying the wrong thing would just cause her to get angry all over and it wasn’t something Tetrax wanted to do. “Once they realize you’re still the same scary being, you’ll gain their respect.” Or fear, he silently added.
Myaxx was quiet for several moments and Tetrax thought once again how drastically she had changed on the outside. From a powerful and terrifying figure to such a docile and dare-he-say girly figure.
“And you?” When Tetrax didn’t answer to her gently posed question, she added in an irritated tone, “What do you think?”
“I…” If Petrosapiens had been capable of blushing, his face would’ve been a bright shade of red equivalent to that of a strawberry. As it was, the only way his emotion showed was through his flustered voice. “I don’t think it suits you.”
Myaxx smiled, aware of the embarrassment going through her Petrosapien companion. “Damn right it doesn’t.” Stepping closer to Tetrax, she looked into his eyes. “’You don’t think I look better like this?”
Tetrax gulped. “Definitely not.” Somehow he managed to push the words out of his mouth despite the closed feeling in his throat.
She smiled almost sweetly at him. Even though she didn’t say it, he could see that his words had pleased her greatly. Stepping away from him, the Chimera sighed bitterly, “Sadly you’ll never see the old me again.”
Having gotten past the awkward situation, Tetrax’s eyes narrowed in thought. There was no way he was going to let Azmuth keep Myaxx in a state that made her unhappy. They would have to have a talk about it. Perhaps he could convince the Galvan to turn her back… Even Azmuth would cave to save his own skin.
