As promised, here's your official introduction to all the other members of Sector Alpha!

"Er, are you sure this is the right place?" Rachel had to ask. When told they were coming to find more members of the former GKND resistance, both of the youngest operatives had assumed they were all doing well for themselves, or would at least be in respectable areas.

Needless to say, a dinky space alleyway on some random artificial space colony was not where they were expecting to find two operatives that Prince Leongar and Octavia were bragging about being some of the best weapon designers in the universe.

"Yeah," Octavia replied bluntly. "They hang around in seedier places because it means people ask less questions whenever they blow something up."

"Indeed," Leongar agreed with his girlfriend. "We have actually commissioned many different types of weapons and armor from them." He then proceeded to knock on the door, causing a rather loud succession of bangs due to the material of the door.

"Why do you think they need a blast door?" Patton whispered to his friend, who could only shrug.

"Defense?" She offered. Some incoherent mumbling could be heard from inside, as well as some shuffling, before a male sounding voice finally spoke up.

"Come in!" They called out. The sound of something unlocking was heard as the door slid open. The first thing that Rachel and Patton noticed was the mess. Papers were scattered everywhere and various tools, liquids and other miscellaneous objects covered the floor, as well as the tables. The walls were covered in blueprints, as well as what looked like shrapnel, soot and the same liquids as the floor. On what looked like the main table were the remains of what the operatives could only guess was a prototype bomb. And behind it was what looked like an anthropomorphic dragon.

Holding what looked like a dismembered human corpse. In its mouth no less.

Patton and Rachel found themselves frozen unsure of what to do next. Run for it? Attempt to attack the monster? Wonder what the heck another human was doing in space? But when they turned to the royal couple, they were shocked to find that the duo were laughing.

"Really now, Numbuh 666?" Leongar asked. "You are still blowing yourself up?"

"Hey, I can survive them perfectly fine!" The "corpse" spoke up, startling both unprepared operatives. "Also, you know you can call me my real name! I think we've known each other long enough!"

"Very well, Dr. Witherton." Leongar said with a nod of his head, his tone sounding somewhat exasperated.

"Wait, doctor?" Rachel had to ask. This guy was a medical professional?

"Yep! Did all my exams! Surprisingly, going to school to learn how to better blow annoying peons to smithereens is actually really fun! And I guess also putting your friends back together." Witherton noted before craning his head to look up at the dragon, who seemed to be annoyed they couldn't join the conversion. "Flarias, you can put me down now." The dragon quickly spit their partner/friend onto the nearest table.

"Thank you!" The dragon exclaimed in a female voice-shocking both younger Earth operatives once again-as she threw her hands up. "Your shirt tasted disgusting! Seriously, when was the last time you washed that fucking thing!?" She promptly stomped over to a nearby sink to go wash out her mouth. Once she was finished, she took notice of Patton and Rachel. "Who are the newbies?"

"Meet two operatives hailing from the planet Earth in the Milky Way galaxy, Rachel and Patton, or Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 60," Leongar introduced them as he placed a paw on each person's shoulder. This finally snapped both out of their shocked state.

"Er…sir-" Patton began to ask one of the many questions he currently had, only for Dr. Witherton to chuckle.

"There is no sir here!" He declared, his torso moving in a way that suggested he would have gestured with his arms if he had any. "Either Witherton, Doctor Witherton, or, if you have to since it seems like you are still an active operative, Numbuh 666."

"Right, Witherton," Patton retried. He would have used the codenumbuh, but just thinking about saying it made him feel dirty. "So…are you human?"

"Nope!" He cheerfully replied. "We think there might have been a human ancestor at some point, which is why I look like you, but I'm actually a Combinabax. Basically, I can safely remove any body part, outside of a few internal organs! It's why I happen to be limbless at the moment."

"Hang on," Flarias requested as she began to look around the lab. Using her tail, she also flicked on the lights, revealing more details of the duo's appearance. Flarias was most certainly a dragon, or at least a species that looked like one-long tail, sharp claws, wings, horns, fangs, scales, it was all present. However, she did have quite a bit that made her stand out, aside from the fact she looked far more natural than her partner (somehow). First off, while she wasn't wearing much clothes (not that there was anything really to see), a mask that appeared to be the skull of another beast covered much of her head, while her lower arms and legs were covered by what looked like battle cuffs or sleeves, along with a bandanna wrapped around her neck and an armor pauldron covering her right shoulder. Her body was mostly black, with a navy bluish green underbelly, two white stripes running along the sides of her body while several blue stripes ran along her back, crossing over with the white ones at their end. Her wings were a very interesting part color wise, as only the wing's forearms were black. Most of the inside was a blood red while the back was a somewhat dull lighter blue. White spikes poked out of her back, appearing to run down her spine. Finally, much of the middle of the wings were covered with more white stripes. And, of course, her tail appeared to have a machine gun at the end. Still, she didn't seem to care or really notice the stares as she set about collecting her friend's body parts, handing them back to him one by one as she found them.

"Ahhhhh! Much better," Witherton cheerfully declared once he was fully back together, which also gave Rachel and Patton a better look at him. He really did look human, from his overall body shape to his brown, short, curly hair, but also was clearly a mishmash of his original body, as well as random parts he had either created for himself or possibly bought or harvested off other beings, such as a robotic eye, what looked like a purple crab pincer serving as his right arm, one armored leg, one leg that seemed human yet ended with a hoof rather than a foot and two robotic spider leg like extrusions from his back. Several parts of his body also seemed to be covered in fur or scales rather than skin and Rachel and Patton weren't really sure if his pointed ears were part of his original body or not. But his outfit clearly gave away that he was a mad scientist-a messy lab coat covered in various stains, rips and other signs that he lived a very dangerous life, as well as a dark undershirt, pants and boots all of which also appeared to have stains on them.

"Agreed, since it means I don't have to carry you around," Flarias noted with a playful smirk. "So, like they said earlier, name's Flarias, but my codenumbuh's Numbuh 417. I'm a Dragconious. Pretty sure my people are also the inspiration for your people's dragon myths…and for the record, I find most depictions to be highly offensive. The purple one is cool though."

"Right…" Rachel trailed off. She really had no idea what to say to these two. They were just so…weird.

"So, your highnesses, what brings you to our little corner of the universe?" Witherton asked as he leaned against the table, still smiling, which also exposed that he had mismatched teeth, including quite a few fangs. "After all, we usually come to you and your latest order isn't quite ready yet."

"It's Aleph Zero. He's back," Octavia revealed. As if on cue, any and all jovialness vanished from the duo, who shared a very concerned look with each other.

"How? We left him in a place he never should have been able to escape!" Flarias snapped as her tail smashed against the floor in rage, gun rattling a little but thankfully not going off.

"We don't know, but we fear he plans to continue his rampage and he will no doubt come for us when he has the chance." Leongar explained.

"Considering how much we humiliated him and his followers, that would make sense." Witherton noted as he rubbed his chin. "But what are those two doing here?"

"We think he's going to destroy our planet too," Patton explained. "He also took a highly devoted operative from our Kids Next Door and is most likely turning him into another crazy adult hating attack dog!"

"How many people does he have to drag down with him!?" Flarias snarled, smoke beginning to leak from her mouth while her spikes appeared to rattle as if they were spines. Once she realized this, she took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself. "666, we're helping, right?"

"Duh, Numbuh 417!" Numbuh 666 declared as he walked over to a nearby lever. Once he pulled it, the walls flipped over, revealing dozens upon dozens of various weapons.

"Whoa…" Rachel was in awe. Never in her life had she seen so many different looking weapons!

"As always, you two never fail to deliver," Octavia nodded with a smirk. So she could enjoy blowing things up every once in a while. It was nice to cut loose.

"Might be a couple trips to the ships with all this, but it's all brand new. We were planning to actually show Leo soon, but I suppose he'll have to settle for a field demo." Flarias admitted as she grabbed an impressive looking trident off the wall before proceeding to fire a couple laser blasts from her tail at a nearby target. Next to her, Witherton grabbed a pair of laser guns, strapping the extra ammo bandoliers across his chest in an X pattern.

Leongar chuckled. "I trust that you two still are the finest weapon makers in the universe."

"Unless someone else popped up when we weren't looking, yeah, I'd say we are," Flarias said with a prideful smirk before saluting, Witherton quickly following her lead. "Numbuhs 417 and Numbuh 666 at your service, your highness!"

"Here's the next stop!" Flarias called out over the communication channel. Although Leongar had offered to let her and Witherton fly on the flag ship with them, the duo had instead opted to fly their personal ships. Admittedly, Rachel and Patton couldn't really blame them, considering that the duo's personal ships looked extremely cool. "This lovely dust bowl is called Cunvanus and is the home of the universe's biggest stick in the mud!"

"Be nice, Numbuh 417," Leongar chastised his friend.

"Numbuh 6 Shot, my old second in command," Octavia explained to the two humans. "He was always a real stickler for the rules, so he clashed a lot with Witherton and Flarias."

"Look, it's not OUR fault that sometimes not following the rules is less risky and less stupid then actually following them!" Witherton snapped at his commander.

"So I see that's a universal standard," Rachel couldn't help but joke, leading to several chuckles as the ships entered the atmosphere. Much like Flarias had stated, Cunvanus was a desert world. Sand and rocks were pretty much everywhere and the few plant and animal species that the operatives could see certainly appeared to be much like the ones that could be found in the deserts on Earth, albeit with some alien twists.

"There's our stop," Leongar declared, pointing to a small town. From what Rachel and Patton could see, it was a smaller town with buildings made from what appeared to be rocks and clay. The three ships set down on the outskirts of the town and everyone set out. Needless to say, it was hot but no one was really focusing on that as they made their way into town. From what Rachel and Patton could see, most of the residents vaguely resembled scorpions crossed with centaurs.

"Been a while since you've come to ma parts," A voice declared as what appeared to be the sheriff stepped out. He had the classic hat and vest, complete with a golden star badge, but whoever this was was not your normal sheriff, considering that he was a tan scorpion like creature. He really did have all-powerful looking pincers, a long, barbed tail, four black eyes and six legs. Yet, his legs, rather than ending in pointed tips, ended with hooves and he also seemed to have hands, albeit ones covered in scales, in the middle of his pincers. He also had a strange, snake-like creature draped across his shoulders.

"Numbuh 6 Shot, it's good to see you," Octavia greeted him.

Numbuh 6 Shot allowed himself to smile. "It's good to see you all as well…even Numbuh 417 and 666."

"Fuck you too," Flarias replied, even if she was smiling. She then turned to Rachel and Patton. "So, this is Sheriff Hathor Arachniones, or as we called him, Numbuh 6 Shot and his little snakeshifter pet is Silvo or Numbuh 1849!"

"What's a snakeshifter?" Patton had to ask. Silvo responded to that by suddenly transforming into one of the alien buzzards that he'd seen on the way in. "What the-!?"

"That is a snakeshifter," Witherton spoke up as he stepped forward. "They're extremely rare creatures that can transform into almost anything they see…provided they aren't too big. Hathor here managed to win him over when we rescued him during one of our missions. He's been glued to his side pretty much ever since."

"He makes a solid deputy," Hathor responded, causing Silvo to perk up proudly. "But would ah be wrong in assuming y'all aren't here just to let me meet the humans for the first time?"

"They are why we're here, but for a much worse reason-Aleph Zero's returned ," Octavia gravely replied. Both Hathor and Silvo's tails rattled as they shared a look before both nodded.

"...Give me a few minutes to get everything in order so that I can take an extended break from my duties as sheriff since ah'm assuming y'all are rounding up Sector Alpha," Hathor said as he turned back to the group. "I'll also put out a warning to Cunvanus Kids Next Door to be on high alert. Same for our other planetary defenses."

"Wait, you're still in contact with your Kids Next Door?" Rachel asked. Sure, she knew that the Teens and Adults Next Door were a thing, but the idea of a member being in contact with their younger counterparts was a little odd, considering that her planet was secret."

"Sure am," Hathor replied with a shrug as he dug a communicator out of his pocket. "It's pretty open, since the only people who get their memories wiped are those who try to run or if you wanna get memory wiped for whatever reason. Other than that, as long as you submit to getting "decommissioned" when you turn thirteen, you're in the Teens Next Door."

"Pretty sure that's how it is with all our planets," Octavia commented before turning back to the two utterly shocked Earthlings. "What's it like with you guys?"

"Uh…" Rachel and Patton weren't sure how to respond. Wasn't the Teens Next Door supposed to be a secret? And wasn't it highly exclusive? "Well, for us, you usually do have to submit to your decommissioning, but sometimes, we have people who fake being a traitor. But you aren't supposed to know about it and it's usually only meant for the best of the best."

"Well that's stupid," Flarias bluntly noted, shocking the two children both with her tone and declaration. "I mean, sure, I get why keeping the best around is a good idea, but having extra bodies to throw around is still helpful. Besides, knowing about it means that less people are likely to run for it, meaning that there's less teenage traitors."

"That's…" Rachel froze. She was about to scoff at the idea of making the Teens Next Door an open secret, but the Dragconious made some good points. Maybe, if more people had known about the Teens Next Door and that they wouldn't lose their memories, they might have been able to keep some valuable operatives from turning to the adults, such as the infamous Cree Lincoln. "...You have a point."

"I usually do," Flarias smugly replied, earning herself several eyerolls that she pretended to be oblivious too.

"Back to our main focus," Hathor reminded everyone as he put his communicator away. "Ah just got everything taken care of, so what's left?"

"Getting your boyfriend!" Octavia replied in a cheeky manner. Hathor responded by pulling his hat over his eyes. How did he miss that Hook wasn't present?!

"So…where's this guy?" Rachel had to ask. "And is he living somewhere that's actually welcoming?" All of the ex-GKND operatives smirked.

"Whoa…." Was all Patton and Rachel could say as they entered Hydraxicde's atmosphere. From what they could see, there were all sorts of fun beach or summer time activities to do.

"Hydraxicde! The galaxy's number one vacation spot!" Leongar declared in his best "commercial" voice. "And home of the last member of Sector Alpha-Hook Jawson! Aka, Numbuh Hang 10!"

"You missed the part where he's Hathor's boyfriend!" Witherton mocked the intercoms, causing Hathor himself to blush. Over the ride to Hydraxicde, the other operatives had been telling Rachel and Patton more about their final member. Hook was apparently the group's spy and infiltrator. But the main thing they ended up focusing on was his relationship with Hathor. From the way everyone was talking about them, it reminded both Patton and Rachel a lot of Numbuhs 3 and 4. Back in the day, their feelings were obvious to everyone, even with the duo being as different as night and day. Hathor was serious, calm and tended to think with his head over his heart. On the other hand, Hook was a fun loving goofball who'd rather be thinking with his heart over his brain.

"It…has been a while since we've been on a date," The sheriff bashfully admitted.

"Not exactly sure how fighting a bunch of terrorists counts as a date," Octavia playfully teased her second in command.

"Depends on who you are talking to," Flarias commented. "Sounds like an ideal date to me!"

"Reminds me of that time your and Fanny's date got crashed by the Six Gum Gang," Rachel said to Patton, who couldn't help but smile fondly at the memory.

"She was so mad…yet she told me later she had a lot of fun," He admitted. Sure, Fanny could be a total handful, but somehow, that behavior managed to endear her to him. Yet again, he and Rachel both felt a pang of guilt. They really wished they had gotten the chance to let her know about what was going on…

"Looks like he's waiting for us," Witherton noted as the three ships closed in on the landing platform. Sure enough, a figure was waiting near the edge. Even while still high in the air, everyone could see how happy he was to see what he knew to be his friends and lover. Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Hook pretty much pounced on Hathor.

"Hatty! Man, it's been too long since I saw your lovely face!" He cheered before planting a huge kiss on his boyfriend's cheek and causing Silvo to move to Flarias' shoulders to avoid his master's love fest.

"Missed you too, poppet," Hathor said as he pulled his hat down a little, bashfully trying to hide his face. Hook then took the chance to pull his other friends into hugs, giving Rachel and Patton a good look at him. He appeared to heavily resemble an anthropomorphic shark, yet there was also a clear mix of other aquatic creatures making up his body-he had what appeared to be the tusks of a walrus, his tail was a mix of a shark's and an eel's, scales dotted his body, gills were present on his neck and both his hands and feet were webbed. His outfit also matched his homeworld perfectly, consisting of a pair of boardshorts (which, rather cutely, seemed to have a cowboy theme) and an open, button up, short sleeved shirt with a floral design on it.

"Yo! Who's the little dude and dudette?" Hook asked once he noticed Patton and Rachel's presence.

"Hook, this is Numbuh 362 and Numbuh 60 from the planet Earth," Leongar introduced the duo. "Rachel, Patton, this is Hook Jawson, Numbuh Hang 10, the former infiltrator of Sector Alpha, the finest surfer and swimmer in the universe-"

"You're missing the most important part! I'm the boyfriend to the hottest catch this side of the unknown regions!" Hook spoke up with a grin as he pulled his boyfriend into a one armed hug, who was now bright red from all the affection and attention he was getting. However, the mention of the unknown regions snapped everyone else back to attention.

"The unknown regions are why we're here," Octavia began. When Hook turned to her, she bit the bullet. "Aleph Zero's returned." Almost instantly, Hook's smile completely vanished, leaving a horrified expression to take its place.

"Dudes…so we're all in danger again?" He asked. Rachel and Patton honestly felt really bad. Out of everyone, he seemed the most upset that the Galactic Kids Next Door were back.

"Sadly so, old friend," Leongar said as he put a hand on Hook's shoulder. "But that's why Sector Alpha is coming back together once again! So, are you ready to return to duty as well?"

"Heh, you know I'd never miss a chance to party with my old sector!" Hook said, some of his previous cheer back. "Just let me go get my weapons and then we can-" Whatever hook was about to say was cut off by the sounds of explosions.

"What the-!?" Patton called out as everyone tried to steady themselves.

"It's coming from the beach!" Rachel noticed once she regained her barings. Everyone rushed to the edge of the platform to see a series of ships attacking the beach. They were all various shapes and sizes, but the most notable thing about them was the insignia on each one, which marked them all as ships of the Galactic Kids Next Door

"They're already on the attack," Leongar said once the information had truly sunk it. Numbuh Aleph Zero was back and he was ready to restart the war he had begun.

So we got to meet the other members of Sector Alpha, got a little lore about how their Kids Next Door programs work and ended on a cliffhanger! How could I make this any better? How about some headcanon voices for each of my OCs?
