AN: Well this is the remake of the other Lords of Malibu that I did. This will pick up right where the first redid version end. With that said, enjoy.

Chapter One: Missing in Action

Melody knew that something was wrong. Michael was not at school the next day, and now she was really worried about him. He was not 100% in his mind, but he was a good guy nonetheless. That didn't matter, because the kids at Seaview High were now aware of the fact that he killed someone back in St. Louis. Melody somehow knew that Jake Ryan was behind this, and he will be dealt with sometime in the future, but what is going to happen before then? Doesn't matter, Melody just needs to know that Michael is alright.

Melody walked up to her front door, and was about to unlock it when she was aware that it was already unlocked. Carefully, she nudged the door open, and saw that her living room was in total disarray. Things were thrown all over, and the TV was off the hinges and on the ground broken. Everything was torn up and damaged, but she knew that either Michael caused this, or he finally lost it, and was in deep trouble.

With nothing left to lose, she ran across the street to Robby Ray's house.

Robby Ray was nearly scared out of his shoes when he heard frantic knocking on his front door, he hurried over, and when he opened the door, Melody nearly knocked him over getting inside. He shut the door, and looked back to Melody with a look of concern on his face.

"Melody? What's wrong?" Robby Ray asked her. Melody took a deep breath and began to tell him what happened.

"I went home, and the house was literally in shambles. Someone tore up the house pretty good over there, and to make matters worse, Michael is gone. I don't know where he is!" Melody said, crying hysterically.

"Was he at school today?" Robby Ray asked her.

"No, he left early because someone told everyone that he killed someone." Melody said, wiping some tears from her eyes.

"I know about that." Robby Ray said in a smooth tone of voice. "Charles told me all about that, and I know what really happened. Don't take this the wrong way, but Michael wouldn't run off because of that alone, someone said something to him, and that ran him off."

"Wait, Michael said that he was going to talk to Miley." Melody said. Her frightened look turned to one of pure rage.

"That bitch." Melody said, clenching her fists.

"Whoa, calm down, we don't know for sure that she said anything to him." Robby Ray said. "Wait until she gets back home from school, and see what she is going to say."

"Fine, but when she says the wrong thing, I am going to beat her ass." Melody cursed at her former friend.

I can't believe that Miley would have the nerve to say those things to me. I mean, what did I ever do to her to warrant those hurtful words about me. I am not a saint, and I was brought up in a world full of violence, and murder. My powers are the only thing keeping me alive, and I am wondering what I should do about being kicked out of my old city. Forget this, I am heading back home...

Charles drove up to his house, and saw the police standing outside of it, and the minute that he did, he knew that something has happened to Michael. He climbed out of his car, and rushed over to the policeman that was in charge, and he told him that they were investigating a break in, and someone trashing the place. Charles knew that Michael must have finally lost it, so he figured that when Michael snapped, he took it out on the house.

Seeing as how it was going to be a while before he got into his house, Charles went across the street with Robby Ray to try and find his little brother.

"Alright, so what do we do?" Robby Ray asked him.

"Well, the best thing to do is to try and find him." Charles said. "He is able to survive on his own, but in his current state of mind, that might be the worst thing for anyone at this time."

"Charles, where did Michael say he was going when you talked to him?" Robby Ray asked him.

"He told me that he was heading home." Melody said. "I thought that it meant that he was staying there, but now..."

"St. Louis, you don't think that he is heading out there, do you?" Robby Ray asked the two of them.

"Most likely. He is heading out there, and out to his sister's place." Charles said with an irritated moan. "She is going to rip into me when she finds out what happened to him."

"Well, good luck with that." Robby Ray said, earning a glare from his friend.

"Really, though, what am I going to do now? I want to know where he is, but I can't exactly leave and to go and find him right now, can I?" Charles asked.

"Calm down. What we are going to do is gather ourselves, and then we are going to find out the best way to find Michael." Robby Ray said. "He is a smart kid, so he will be fine on his own."

"I hope so." Charles said. " I hope so."

Man, I could sit here for the rest of my life. I never should have left this town. MY town.

Michael found himself sitting on the top of the St. Louis Arch. Not inside, literally sitting on top of the Arch. Needless to say, Michael missed being in this city. The days were hot, but the nights were cool and comfortable. Michael quietly floated over to the nearby Busch Stadium, and was able to see where he saw the once great St. Louis Rams play their games. Like themselves, Michael has fallen on hard times, but they were going to get better, Michael was going to stay in his own personal hell for the rest of his life.

"Better get out of here." Michael said. With that note, Michael flew off into the distance, trying to figure out his next move, the later of which could really wait.

He was just glad to be back in his real home.

AN: Well, the sequel has been started. Don't worry about Jake Ryan though, he is going to get dealt with next time. R&R!
