I didn't realize how short this chapter was until I started putting this up...So sorry about that, but I'm not changing it. Hope you like it, all the same.

Thanks go out to the following for reviewing:
Nadia - Okay, so maybe she wouldn't kill you, but that's just because her morals. She would, however, siverly injure. She has not poblems with that. And that's because, MY friend, she DOESN'T know you. She's never met you. I have. So, Alex doesn't know you and has no problem doing such things to someone who keeps calling her a "pretty, pretty princess." She'd do it to Raph if he kept doing so...Hey, that's give me an idea...
QueenAnju - I'm glad you liked it. Oh, honey, there is almost nothing cuter! Usagi is, like, the best. I'd hug him and never let go. (Does that sound too shady?)
Eric 16 - And you don't have to wait any longer. Hope you like it!
poekmonjkl - I follow the episodes, so you have nothing to worry about. Anything that happens there, happens in this story. I may not always write Alex into it, but it still happens.

Chapter 19
"The Big Brawl"
Part 3

Master Splinter was just as scared and shocked as Alex was. Oh my God! Is he okay? What happened? Leo! Alex, without thinking, jumped down all the way from the Daimyo's platform into the arena where Leo and Usagi were. It seemed Donny had the plan, though for a slightly different reason. When she got down there, Usagi was helping Leo up, supporting him fully.

"And I insist you get your paws off of my brother!" Donny shouted.

"Please, I only wish to help Leonardo," Usagi said.

"Donny, it's okay," Alex said. "Usagi-san doesn't pose us any threat."

"Don," Leo said. He tried to stand on his own, but ended up tipping backwards. Don got Leo's right arm, Usagi his left, while Alex had put her arms under both before behind. "It's all right."

"Leo?" Alex asked, her voice sounding very small and weak.

"Come, the healer awaits," Gyoji said. He transported them up to the medical wing. "Wise and beloved Master Healer, an honored warrior has need of your gifts," Gyoji said the healer before them.

He bowed, informing them that he would be willing to help. "Bring him to me," he said. "Quickly."

Leo was placed on a mat, his head supported by a pillow. Alex, alongside Donny and Usagi, sat down on the opposite side on Leo as the Healer. Alex didn't pay any attention to Usagi and Don as the Healer started to work. She just sat there and stared at Leo and the Healer, praying that Leo would be okay and that they could figure out what was going on.

"What. Is the Healer. Doing to Leo?"

"Be nice, Donatello," Alex scolded. She wasn't in the mood for any of that. Sure, she knew he was worried too. But there was no need for such attitude. "Usagi is a friend and I can vogue for him.

"Oh, it is all right, Princess," Usagi said. "He is merging with your brother's spirit in order to determine the exact nature of his malty."

"My son!" splinter called out, entering the room. "Oh, my son. What had happened here?"

The Healer was forced backwards. With a grunt he landed on his behind. "He has been poisoned," he informed them. "But the source of the toxin eludes me."

"Who would want to poison Leo?" Alex asked.

"Leonardo? Poisoned?" the Ultimate Ninja asked, entering the room. "What fiend would do such a thing?"

And there is the answer to my question, Alex thought. My gut was right after all. It has to be him. She truly had hoped she was wrong, but she couldn't deny that her main suspect in that crime was the Ultimate Ninja.

"Rest assured, Splinter Sensei," he took off his mask, "I will personally get to the bottom of this atrocity." He was just as ugly as she thought he'd be.

"Stay with your brother, Donatello," Splinter advised. "I will return shortly. I must speak with the Daimyo."

Usually, Alex would feel left out for not getting mentioned, but the situation before them was completely different than what they usually dealt with. Alex was scared. She had lost so many people already; her parents, in a way her brothers, Fred. She couldn't lose Leo. Leonardo was one of the only people that helped Alex pull herself out of things that scared her. And now he was the one scaring her. It was the Shredder attack all over again, except this time Alex couldn't prevent the actions from happening.

Oh Leo, Alex thought. We need you. You're brothers need you. Your father needs you. And I need you.

"Has anybody told Raph and Mikey?" Alex asked.

"No," Donny answered.

"Good," she sighed. "They need to concentrate on fighting right now. Leo wouldn't want them to worry about him. He'll be back to normal before we know it." The last part sounded as if she were trying to convince herself more than the others.

Alex took his hand into hers as Don whipped his forehead with a damp cloth. Come on, Leo. You're strong. You can fight through this!

The redhead jumped when she heard, "Master Healer, you are needed at once! The Daimyo has been attacked!"

The Daimyo was brought in quickly, carried by four samurai guards. They brought him into the back room and the sliding doors were shut, separating the Daimyo, healer, and guards from the warriors and princess.

"Of course they would go help the Daimyo first. It's the Caste system," Alex said.

"Wait, what about Leo?" Don asked. "Ah, what can I do? I'm an engineer, not a doctor."

Usagi reached down at Leo, standing next to Alex, but Donny stopped him, grabbing his wrist. "Don't even think about touching him!" Don warned.

"Donatello!" Alex scolded. "I told you, Usagi is a friend. He didn't do this. Right Usa-chan?" she asked.

"U-Usa-chan?" he asked, his cheeks under his furry face becoming red.

"You're my friend. I have nicknames for my friends. I hope that is all right. If you don't like it, I can call you something else," Alex said.

"That is quite all right," he answered, sounding rather embarrassed. He turned back to Donny and said, "Please, I only wish to examine your brother." He set down his swords and brought over the lantern. "I mean no harm."

"He saved our lives today, Don," Alex said.

Donny stared at the bunny before his expression softened. "Go ahead, but I'll be watching."

"If you would be so kind as to hold this for me like so," he said, giving him the lantern. "Princess, would you assist me in turning him over slightly?"

"Of course," Alex said. Gently, trying not to hurt Leo, they rolled him onto his side.

Usagi pulled out a crystal and held it in front of the light. "Observe," he said. A rainbow beam came from the stone and light, shining down onto Leo. It went to his neck, where it showed a small sub-dermis wound.

"What is it?" Don asked.

"It is the entry point of a dissolving poison dart," Usagi answered. "A rarely used weapon, nearly impossible to detect even by a trained healer." He took out a small bag and opened it. It was a bag of herbs. "Now that we have located the source of the toxin, I have some medicine that might help with your permission."

Donny nodded and Usagi placed the medicine on the wound. "All we can do now is wait," he said.

I've already started Season 3's story. Let me know what you guys think on names. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I always have the hardest time trying to come up with names.
