Okay, I feel really bad for how long it's been. I had about a third of this written since I ended the last season, but I got really busy and never finished it...until now! I'm sorry guys. I've been getting everything ready for college and whatnot, plus I've had several big projects in school that I had to focus on. Trust me, I much rather would have been doing this.
Anywho, I think I've come to the conclusion on who Alex will end up with. I'm not going to say it, but I think you'll end up figuring it out. Also, he's the one leading in the poll right now. He's been in the lead since I put it up. Anyways, the poll's still open if you want to go and do it. Also review and tell me what you think. Thanks guys.
Thanks go out to the following for reviewing:
grapejuice101 - I'm so sorry that you had to wait for this. I know you were excited for it. I just hope it lives up to what you were expecting.
TMNTluckygirl - Well, if I were Alex, I don't think I'd be able to stop kissing them...But that's just me and I'm not Alex so...Plus Usagi's just the best. I had to have her give him a kiss on the cheek.
pokemonjkl - Thank you. I don't want her parents to always have something in each chapter, but I also don't want to get rid of them completely. So I like to add things in here and there.
16 - Aw, thank you. I hope you like this one as much as the last!
Kate of the North - 16) Thank you got reviewing this chapter! Plus, I love your username. Esp. the North part! 17) (on her parents) Yeah, I mean, I know there are going to be times when she's saddened by it, making her a little weak, but I see it was now, she's going to use it to make sure she doesn't let anything like this happen to her loved ones again. Plus, she had so many fond memories. It'd be a shame to just have her block all of that out. I have so much planned for her to find out in the future. I mean, what else did they keep from them to make sure they grew up semi-normal/humble/noble/honorably? 18/19) I LOVE Usagi! He's one of my favorite characters. 20) I'm sorry this took so long. I hope you like it.
SillDoll13 - Hehe, You're review made me laugh. Everyone has to love Usa-chan!

Chapter 1
"Space Invaders"
Part 1

The movies. Alex loved going to the movies. She loved the popcorn and the thrill and adrenaline that it would give her if the movie was good enough. Plus, she used to go to the movies with her friends and brothers all the time. Despite them talking the whole time –which rather annoyed her a great deal – it was fun and she missed it.

Instead of going to the movies with her brother or Fred, Kiley, Emily or Erik, she settled for Rudy and Phoebe. They had called her that afternoon after school to see if she wanted to go to a scary movie convention that was being held in her favorite movie theater. They would be premiering the latest scary movie after a classic scary movie marathon. They would be spending the whole day at the movies with an old classic, battery powered projector.

This seemed right up Alex's alley. Rudy and Alex loved scary movies, while Phoebe didn't. But Rudy knew that. He just wanted to do it so that he could "protect" Phoebe from the "monsters."

Rudy was someone that Alex could really see herself becoming good friends with – not romantically, but good friends. Phoebe was another story all together. When Alex first met her, she was quiet, rather shy and polite. Once she got to know Phoebe, though, she changed and her "true" personality came out. She was becoming more outgoing and Alex thought it had everything to do with finding the right people to hang out with to help her break out of that shell. "Those movies were so funny!" Alex exclaimed.

"What?" Phoebe asked. "No, they weren't. They were scary!"

"No, zat vas just you," Rudy insisted.

"Right," Alex agreed. "I've dealt with a lot more scary things in real life than what happened in that movie."

"You're kidding me, Lex!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Nope," she said, shaking her head. They came to the corner of the street and Alex looked at her friends. "Well, I go this way."

"Okay," Phoebe said. "We're this way. See you at school?"

"Yeah," Alex answered. "Night guys."

"Night!" they both called out.

The red haired girl turned and started to walk down her street while the others went the other way. Alex stretched her arms up above her head, feeling her tense muscle stretch. She didn't always like having to sit still for that long. Yes, she loved to meditate, but that was one thing. Movies and sitting still at school during long tests was hard, seeing as she was used to having to stay alert and at attention. She couldn't risk to relax and not pay attention to what was going on around her.

Alex was heading to the lair to meet up with the guys. She hadn't seen them in about a week. The guys would have liked that movie, she thought. Maybe sometime I can help sneak them into a movie or they can wear those disguises they wore at the Super-Smash game. The girl sighed and looked up at the sky, searching for stars that were always there, but never seeable because of the bright city lights. They deserve to get out more.

The night was cool, but it wasn't horrible. Alex could see her breathe in front of her. She should have been paying more attention to where she was walking, but she was fine. Her distracted, free mind didn't last long as she noticed the strange color the sky held. The sky was orange. Alex froze and lowered her arms back down to her sides.

The sun set a couple hours ago, Alex thought. There's no reason for the sky to be that color at this time of night. She tried searching the sky, along with the area around her out of habit. Something's not right. Alex reached into her pocket to get her phone. I don't like this.

Before Alex had the chance to dial anybody's number, she noticed many objects in the sky getting larger. They were spaceships coming into their atmosphere. Alex turned in her spot, still looking up at the sky. She didn't know why she did it. It wasn't like she expected something different. It was just an instinct.

The objects were really close. When they were close enough, Alex could see that the vehicles were yellow with gray accents. There were symbols on the side and Alex knew them all too well. They were that of the Triceratons.

Why are they here? Alex asked herself. One of the ships was getting closer to her location. Alex turned and ran into an alley, hiding behind a dumpster. She could still look out into the street and the sky to see what was going on. She just hoped she had enough cover for the time being. She had to wait until the coast was clear for her to either get to someplace safe above ground or to get to a manhole to go get the guys.

The ship landed down the street and Triceratons got out. Most of them had hover carts or jetpacks to get around faster. There were some walking around on their own though.

Alex dialed April's number and put the phone to her ear. She waited and heard the phone rings. "Hello?"

"April?" Alex asked. "Do you see what's going on?" Her voice came out more frantic that she had hoped.

"Yeah, but I'm not completely sure what that is," she answered. "What's going on? What are these things?"

"They're Triceratons," Alex told her.

"How do you know that?"

"You remember the TCRI incident?" Alex asked. "Well, they were one of the races we met when we were transported across the universe. They're not very nice beings. The Rebellion is okay, but the government isn't."

"Why are they here?" she asked.

"I have no idea," she answered. "But we have to let the guys know. We have to do something about this!"

"Why don't we let this one go? Leave it up to the military," April suggested.

"I bet you they knew before we did. They must have tried to stop them," Alex added. "It must not have worked though."

"Obviously," April stated. Alex could hear a sigh escape her aunt's lips. "So it's left up to us."

"Obviously," Alex retorted. "I've got to get in contact with the guys."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Casey," April said. "Just," April started, sounding worried and hesitant, "be careful, Alex."

"I will. Love you," she said.

"I love you too," April replied.

Alex hung up. She slowly got up from her spot and ran further into the alley. There was a fire escape she could climb to get a better view of things. Alex did just that.

For the most part, most of the Triceratons were closer to the ground. At least, that was how it was in her area. Most of their transportation devices hovered just above the ground as they, what Alex thought, looked like they searched for something. She stayed low, covered by the ledge to conceal herself from their views, but not enough where she couldn't see over the top to make out what they were doing. She still didn't completely know anything about what they were really doing though.

Alex just couldn't figure out why they were on Earth. Of all the places in the Universe to concur, why take Earth? Was it because that was where she and the turtles were from? Were they still that angry at them for what happened?

The Triceratons were looking in the buildings, taking some people. Alex saw someone from her American Literature class being taken, along with their family. Alex didn't understand why they were taking her. She was just a normal teenage girl with normal teenage problems. What made her so important?

Seeing that made her paranoid though. She pulled out her tanto, which she always kept with her in case something happened. She couldn't always keep her sword with her, for obvious reasons, but the tanto was small enough so that Alex could conceal it on her person. She usually also kept a couple ninja stars and shurikin. She liked to use the tanto better though.

The aliens moved to the building she was hiding out on. Time to move out, Alex thought. Stealthily, Alex moved along the side of the building, hidden in shadows. When it came time to jump to the next building, the girl scanned the area to make sure nobody was looking in her direction before jumping the gap.

Once she landed, she couldn't help but overhear a couple aliens saying they were getting a very strong reading. She had no idea what they were talking about, but she didn't like the sound of it at all. She decided that it was a good idea to find a place on that rooftop to hide. There were too many Triceratons in the area to try and make a getaway.

There was a tiny greenhouse on the rooftop she was on. It was the best option she had. Once inside, she hid under one of the tables, tanto in hand. All she could do from their was wait and listen.

Alex's mind wondered though. They had strong readings? Readings of what? Alex wasn't completely sure. If they were getting readings of something, it had to do with the people they were gathering up. What are the readings of though?

"I'm getting a strong reading up here!" a loud voice yelled, just outside of the greenhouse.

Crap, Alex thought. She readied her tanto, and positioned herself better in case she needed to attack or defend. Whatever it is they're tracking, I guess I have it. Her eyes widened. Wait, I have it…If I have it, and they're tracking people with it…I do everything with the guys. Does that mean they have it too?

The only thing that she could think of them tracking would be Transionic particles from the Teleportal at TCRI. Those would have stuck to anybody within a block radius of the place.

People around me TCRI, that means the guys, April and Casey have it too, right? And maybe even….Officer John Blake! He was working outside TCRI when it happened. Ah Crap, I need to go see if they're okay.

The door of the greenhouse opened and Alex held her breath. Finding her friends to make sure they were safe was going to have to wait until those over grown lizards were gone. Alex watched the large feet of one Triceraton as he walked in. She could hear loud beeping, probably coming from the device they were using to track whatever it was they were tracking.

"This thing's going off the charts, but there's nothing in here," he called out to someone outside. "Maybe the plants picked up some of the particles."

Yes, believe that. Believe that and leave!

"Fine, if there's nothing there, let's move on. We've got more sectors to search," someone outside answered.

The guy started to walk away, but Alex didn't let out the breath she was holding just yet. He wasn't outside just yet. She wasn't in the clear. Just as he was about to reach the door, the Shell Cell in Alex's pocket started to ring. The girl stiffened even more.

You have got to be kidding me!

She quickly fumbled to get it out of her pocket. She saw it was Leo. There wasn't enough time to turn it off though. The Triceraton bent down, looking under the table. Once his head was in range, Alex kicked out one of her feet and nailed him right in the head, causing him to stagger backwards, clutching his head.

Alex rolled out from under the table and jumped out the greenhouse door. Once she was back on her feet, she jumped over the head of the Triceraton standing there with his back turned to her. As she went over his head, she kicked him, like the other, in the head, causing him to fall backwards into the green house, running into his fellow soldier.

She took that time to make her escape, picking the phone up as she did. "You guys really have rotten timing, you know that?" she said without greeting them.

"What?" Leo asked, sounding confused.

"I was kind of in the middle of hiding from some Triceratons. They were about to leave too, but then you had to call. I was about to get out of there without fighting, Leonardo! But no, you had to call me." Alex came to the end of a building and jumped to the next one. "This better be good!" She wasn't angry, just stressed. She hoped Leo didn't think she was angry with him.

"April and Casey were taken by the Triceratons. They're being held in Central Park," he informed her.

Alex didn't say anything for a moment. They have Casey and April? She was freaking out, but she had to keep her composure. There was too much at risk if she slipped. Well, at least I'm headed in the direction of Central Park. "Okay, yeah. That's a pretty good reason for calling." Alex case to the end of a building on a block. She jumped down to the fire escape and quickly made her way down it. "Are we going in for an extraction?"

The girl quickly made her way across the street, making sure nobody was around to see her. Once across, she climbed up a fire escape and continued making her way across rooftops. She listened carefully to the phone and to everything around her to make sure she wasn't being followed.

"Yeah, do you want to meet up before or once we get to the park?" Leo asked.

"I'm almost there now," she answered. "So choice two, please."

"Okay, stay hidden until we get there," he said. She could tell by the shakiness of his voice that he had started to run, like she was.

"Will do," Alex said. "I've got a bit of a problem though."

"Are you okay?" Leo asked, sounding nervous.

"Yeah, but I don't have my stuff. I've got my tanto, but that's it. I'm kind of going to be a little defenseless out there," she said.

"We're close to your place now," Leo said. "I'll get your stuff for you."

"Thanks, Leo. You're a lifesaver. It's in my bedside table," she told him. "Hey, I'm almost there. Phone silence from this point out," she added.

"Understood," he said. "Just be careful, okay?"

Alex stopped, looking over to Central Park, which was across the street from her. She could see a lot of Triceratons walking around while crafts circled the area. There was some sort of cage where they were keeping the people. April and Casey had to be in there. They're okay, right? They have to be okay…

"Yeah," Alex said, sounding a little distant. She shook her head, trying to focus. "Watch out for yourself, Leo. Look out for the guys. I know you can take care of yourselves, but I worry. And I can't lose you guys."

"We'll be okay, Alex," Leo said. "We'll be there with you in no time."

Alex smiled. "Yeah, just hurry up you slow pokes." She hung up and jumped down off the building. She ran into the trees to conceal herself.

o-0-o

The spot Alex had taken up as her hiding place wasn't too close, but also not too far from where they were keeping the "prisoners." She wanted to be close enough to see everything, but far enough where the guards walking the perimeter would see her, or hear her and the guys talking when they found her.

She didn't know how long she had been waiting there. It felt like forever. She didn't know if had actually been a long time, or if it was because she was anxious to get those people out of that cage. Alex was getting antsy, something that didn't usually happen to her.

The girl frozen when she heard quick, but very quiet footsteps. She held her tanto in her hand, lean forward slightly to see below her better, for she had taken up a spot in a tree. She was still hidden, but by leaning forward, she could make out a figure. She could tell who it was, or what it was, but she had to be cautious and make sure they weren't going to threaten her position.

Alex quickly leapt forward, knocking the knees out from the person. She held them to the ground with her left arm, while she held the tanto to their neck with the other. She wasn't actually going to hurt them unless they were Triceraton, but she had to pin them nonetheless.

"Alex?" Donny asked as she finally saw who it was.

"Don?" she asked back. "Sorry!" she moved off him and helped him up. "I'm a little antsy, I guess. Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it," he said. "I would have done the same thing. I have to say, you move really fast. I hardly had time to register what was happening."

"I'm going to take that as a compliment," Alex said with a smirk.

She didn't realize how much of a relief it would be to have at least one of her boys there with her. Sure, she had talked to Leo on the phone and knew they were okay, but actually having one of them right in front of her was different. Before she knew what she was doing, Alex quickly wrapped her arms around Donny for a hug.

"Alex?" Donny asked, shocked. He hesitantly placed his arms on her back. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," she answered, pulling back. "Sorry. It's just…I'm gl…I was…"

"Hey," he said. "It's okay. We're right here. Nothing's going to happen to us and we're going to get April and Casey back."

Alex took in a deep breath, smiling at Donny. "Thanks, Don. I feel better hearing that from someone other than myself."

"No problem," he answered.

"So, where are the others?" she asked.

"Come on," he said with a gesture. "Our rendezvous is over here. We spit up to try and find you."

Alex and Don quickly made their way to the rendezvous where she saw Mikey and Raph already standing. They had to have already finished looking in their own areas, obviously not finding Alex. Leo had to have still been looking. She smile grew bigger seeing two more of her boys. As they approached, Mikey was the closest one to her, so she quickly went up to him first.

This invasion was really getting to her. They had been in dangerous situations before, but they hadn't been invaded or taken over like that before. Most of the time, they would go into someone else's domain. She felt violated and, though she didn't want to admit it, scared.

After hugging Mikey, Alex went over to Raph. He was looking at her a little funny, seeing as she had hugged Mikey, but didn't stop her when she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Raph asked.

"Yeah," she answered, letting go. "Why?"

"You're touchy feely," Raph said.

"I'm just happy to see you guys, is that so wrong?" Alex said with a small smile as she playfully hit Raph on the arm.

"Here, we got your stuff," Mikey said, handing her the folded guardian outfit, along with her weapons.

"Thanks, guys," Alex said. "I'll be right back. "Im just gonna go over there and change." She motioned her thumbed a little ways away where a thick cluster of trees were. She started to walk over to them, but turned around and said, "If I catch any of you looking, you're dead."

Once over there, the girl moved quickly. First found a little whole in a tree to place her normal cloths in. Then she stripped down, placing the pants on first. She stood there in the bottoms, shoes and her shorts bra, her hair tied up. She was sliding on the top when she heard more footsteps. She jumped up into the trees, bringing everything up with her. The person was about to walk right past her, but stopped and knelt down.

She could just make out the person looking at her footprints. It was only a matter of seconds until they found out where she was hiding. She left her things in the tree, except her sword and she, against, leapt at the person below her.

The person reacted better than Donny had. They quickly took out their weapon and they met with Alex's sword. The weapons clashed, pressing together as the two people finally got a clear look at each other.

"Jeez, Leo," Alex said. She backed up and put her sword on the ground before nearly tackling the blue bandana terrapin. She hugged him tightly, pressing close to him. "Don't scare me like that."

She hadn't meant to say that out loud. She didn't want the guys, or anybody to know how nervous she was about all of this. She didn't like to be scared. She didn't like to show weakness to them. They were all so strong, and she needed to be like that too. If she couldn't, she needed them to think she was.

"Sorry, Alex," Leo said, pulling back a little bit, but not letting her go. "Are you okay?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Alex asked, arching her head to the side slightly.

"I'm just making sure," Leo said. "You said you had to fight a couple Triceratons earlier. I just wanted to make sure you were okay and that nothing happened between the time we talked and now."

"I can assure you, Leonardo," Alex started to say, a small smile on her lips, "I'm fine."

Leo smiled back at her. "Good."

The terrapin and human girl stared at one another for a couple more moments, making the girl remember the last time she wondered about what color Leo's eyes were. She really was curious as to what they looked like. However, there wasn't any time to be thinking about such things. She shook her head ever so slightly, getting the thought out of her head and try and get the funny feeling in the pit of her stomach to go away.

The two slowly let go of one another, and Leo helped the girl pick her things up. She put her weapons on as he handed them to her. She adjusted a couple things, making sure she was comfortable and that they were put on correctly before they made their way back to the group.

When everyone was back together, they moved forward to get a better look at everything. They quietly talked to one another was they watched.

"So, do you guys know why they're here?" Alex whispered.

"They're looking for the Fugitoid," Donny answered.

"Professor Honeycutt?" Alex asked. "But he's not here."

"Yeah, but they don't know that," Raph said.

"But if they tracked the transionic particles here, then shouldn't they have figured out they a little while after they arrived, more left?" Alex asked. "I mean, you think that just to be sure, they would have checked. I would've."

They stared at her for a moment. "What?" she asked with a shrug.

"How did you figure out they were using the tranportal transionic particles to track him here?" Don asked.

Alex rolled her eyes. "You guys always forget that I worked at Stocktronics too on an internship. I didn't just go get people coffee, you know. I actually helped develop things like the Mousers."

"Right, sorry," Don said. The attention of the five ninjas was turned back to the scene before them. "Casey and April must be in there somewhere," Don said, pointing to the cage.

"Nice," Mikey said. "A portable Alcatraz. Now everybody's going to want one."

"You have to admit, one of those would come in handy," Alex said.

"Let's get ready to kick some shell," Raph said, taking out one of his sai.

The Triceraton don't have shells, Alex thought.

"Hold it, Raph," Leo said, putting his hand on Raph's arm. "We're way out numbered. We need to use our heads."

"Right," Alex said, looking over to the cages, trying to think of a way to pull this off.

"Guess that leaves Mikey out," Raph muttered.

"You know, if all those people were set free at once there'd be a lot of confusion," Mikey said.

Alex spun around and stared at Mikey with wide eyes. Mikey just had an idea, she thought. Wow, that keeps happening lately. Maybe he's getting smarter, or maybe our situations are just getting weirder and his outlandish ideas just end up fitting and working.

"Mikey had a good idea?" Raph asked, equally as shocked.

"Mikey had a good idea," Leo confirmed. Shaking that off, Leo turned to Don and said, "Donny, how do we get the cage down?"

"Well, see that?" he asked, pointing. To the three crafts at the top of the cage. "The cage is triangulated by those three hovering platforms. If we knock out one, the whole thing should come done."

"Mikey, Raph, see if you two can set up a diversions so that Donny, Alex and I can get close enough to take out one of those platforms. Let's move!"

Alex stuck close to Leo and Don as they ran. She pulled her mask up over the bottom part of her face, concealing it. She hoped that John wouldn't recognize her. If someone she knew well saw her, they probably would fall for the look. They'd figure out who she was. The mask was mainly for people who didn't know her. Usually that was how it worked. That or the people already knew who she was.

As they ran closer, Alex noticed what looked like a transport ship landing down inside the cage. "Guys," she whispered. "We may have a complication." The doors opened and about five Triceratons walked out. They were rounding the people up to go onto the ship.

A loud explosion caught her attention, making her look away from the cage. I really hope the guys were the ones to set that up… She didn't want to think about the alternatives. She was pulled down by Leo and Don as a couple guards walked by.

Leo looked at them with a smirk and said, "Mikey."

"Definitely Mikey," Don said.

"It better have been Mikey," Alex said.

"Come on, let's open the cage," Leo said, leading them over the rocks they were taking shelter behind.

The three ninja ran quickly Don used his staff to lift himself into the air, to land on a craft passing over head. Leo stopped and opened his hands. Alex saw what he was doing. She jumped up, using his hands as a step. He launched her up into the air. As she rose, she pulled out her sword and then landed on the platform next to Don. Leo followed a moment later.

Don knocked the one Triceraton off the craft, sending him to the ground below. Leo and Alex looked at one another and nodded. They both jumped up and flipped before cutting done one of the ships, causing the cage to disintegrate.

The group landed on the ground, and Alex quickly looked around for April, Casey and anybody else she knew. She saw Officer John running her way. He slowed, staring at Leo whom had been standing next to her. He was shocked and hesitant, Alex could tell. Leo and the guys were a strange sight to see, if it was the first time ever seeing them. However, she knew John was hesitant because he was cautious, though he was also considering that they were helping them. He didn't leave out things that were important to an equation.

His attention moved to Alex. His eyes grew even wider, if that was even possible. "Alex?" she saw him mouth.

She motioned with her arm for him to run with the rest of the people. He hesitantly nodded before running off. Oh great, she thought. I'm going to have to answer a lot of questing once all of this is over. I just hope he's not going to throw me in jail. She didn't have the time to deal with all of that right now though. She had to focus on the mission at hand. John was safe. She had to make sure Casey and April were okay.

She found April with Don at the transport ship, getting people off. Donny had her, so she knew that she was going to be okay. She sighed in relieve. All that was left was Casey. She saw Casey laying on the ground. She ran over to him, leaving Leo, to help him up.

"Donny, no!" Alex looked up when she heard April scream. She had thought April was the one in trouble, but she found that Donny had been shot in the back and dragged onto the ship.

"Donny!" Alex yelled. She got up and lunged, trying to get to the door. She was too late though. The door had closed and Alex ran right into it. April was next to her, banging on the door.

"No!" April yelled.

"Donny," Alex cried. "No, no, no."

This can't be happening!
