Hey guys. It's that time again. When we last left Michael, he was attacked by Scourage, Sonia and Manic and rescued by Milo Fancy Belt and Ben 10. What do you think Scourage has planned now? And what's the Golden Emerald? Let's find out.

Back at the crash site

Scourage arrived using his speed and saw Michael, Milo and Ben flying away. He was angry his target got away, he blast a rock on the wall with his laser eyes making it exploded.

He watched them fly away and smirked. "Clever move boys. But not enough." He said as he moved one of his sleeves and typed on his still functioning computer." But if you want something done right, you hire someone you can push around." He says as he continues punching in a message. "And All-Caps!" He said as he sent the message.

At a juvenile detention center

A lot of juvenile kids were in the cafeteria for dinner. 5 of them were sitting at one table looking depressed. One of them was a really big guy with flat brown hair. The others were shorter than him. One had blue spikey hair, another had brown spikey hair, another had a goofy face and freckles, and the last looked like Ben but had white hair. The one who looked like Ben was drawing a picture of Scourage.

He lets out a sighs as he looks at the drawing. "Scourage….where are you?" He asked. "He could be anywhere out there." The big guys said. "This is all that aliens fault he's missing!" The blue spikey haired boy complained. "Hey guys, wanna see me make fart sounds with my feet?" The goofy one asked making them glare at him. "Shut up Frog!" They all said at him.

One of the guards grabbed the drawing and ripped it up. "What did we tell you about drawing this boy Albedo?!" The guard asked in annoyance. The group groan from being reminded. Then the boy who looks like Ben now known as Albedo got a message on his watch reading. "Call in my transport pod now and ready my hot cocoa."

Albedo's eyes widen in surprise as he showed his group making them surprised. The guard glared at him again and held his hand out. "Albedo, please give me that watch." He ordered Albedo. But Albedo and his group gave sinister smiles. "Sargent, Hawk, Lightning, Frog." Albedo called his gang. "It's time." He told them as they gave evil smiles.

The big guy known as Sargent got up and glared at the guard. "Sargent, sit back down now." He ordered but Sargent didn't listen. Instead he grabbed and picked up the guard and threw him at the other guards, shocking them and the other juveniles cheered. "ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Albedo shouted as he stood on the table and got everyone attention.

"Our time of revolution has come at last! That's right! HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Albedo cheered making everyone else do the same. "NOW ATTACK THEM!" He ordered all the inmates and they all attacked the guard which involved killing them. While they do that to all the workers and guards in the building, Albedo, Sargent, Hawk, Lightning and Frog went to another part of the building with a girl inmate in tow. "Is it true? He's back?!" The girl asked.

They 5 boys nod. "That's right Fiona." Lightning which was the brown spikey haired boy said to the girl named Fiona. Fiona was a brunette girl and had a yellow bow in her hair. "Destroy any guard that comes this way. I must have Scourage's delivery transport ready." Albedo instructed as he walked up to a hidden console in the wall and typed in a code. "Sending it to his location, now!" He said as he pressed enter.

Out in Space

A Satellite released a pod and it fell all the way down to Earth. It was falling like a meteorite until rockets built into it slowed it down.

At Scourage's location

Scourage watched the pod slowly come down and it landed in the road. Once it was on the ground, a hatch opened. "I knew I could count on those guys." Scourage said with an evil smile.

He walked into the pod which unleashed his new batch of robots. Ones that were previous to the ones Michael destroyed and some new models that looked similar to bees.

Inside the pod

Scourage wasn't able to repair his clothes, but was able to get them cleaned up. He also cleaned himself of the swamp planets filth. Once he put his clothes back on, he had bandages placed over and under this stomach with his huge scar on his stomach showing. He had the brim and the tip of his hat reattached with special tape. Mini robots brushed and whiten his teeth. He had is finger blades removed due to the most of them being rusty and replaced with shiny blades and was equipped with new control gloves . His scars under his eyes were cleaned up from all the dirt and he put his shoe which were also cleaned back on.

Back outside

He exited the pod to see all his robots ready. "NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! THE KING IS BACK BABY!" He happily shouted out.

Manic climbed back up the wall while stabbing the Infinity Sais into it to help him out. Sonia grabbed onto his back for some help. When they almost reached the top, a blast was fired near them, making them stop.

Scourage walked up to the ledge and looked down at them. "Hello." Scourage greeted them. "What took you so long?!" Sonia asked Scourage impatiently. "I was getting myself freshened up." He explained. "So my green spikey haired punk rock friend, you two mention Uuuuuuuuuuuuuultimate power... back at the house?" He howled the ultimate part as he asked.

"The Golden Emerald?" Manic asked and chuckles as he shook his head. "Sorry Scourage. But it's none of your business!" Manic said sternly. "Besides we have no more use for each other! We got you off that planet and you brought us to Michael In The Hat!" Sonia said. "Me and Manic need to find it to restore honor to Silver Roncos, and so we can find our missing brother." She explained. "She right. So we don't need each other anymore." Manic said.

Scourage chuckled, shook his head and typed in a code on his control glove. "Well I hate be a contrarian but, I think we do." He said disagreeing with Manic. The robots were closing in on Sonia and Manic as the two were starting to get hostile. "You think these machines are a match for us?! I will shatter them like the bones from a fallen…" Manic began until Sonia tapped his shoulder. "Uh Manic?" She said getting his attention and she pointed down to robots that were making stairs for them. "Oh. They're stairs." He realized.

Then he let go of the wall and the two climbed up the robotic staircase back onto the road with Scourage. Then Scourage decided to break things down. "You see, Earth is my turf G." He said like a rapper and then to do the floss. "If you don't know how too floss, you'll be lost without me." He told the two aliens who were confused by what he said.

"I'm sorry, but we didn't understand any of that. Can you clarify that please?" Sonia asked as she was fixing her hair. "I'm willing to make a deal with you two. Since you two helped me get off that planet and brought you to him, I'll help you two find this Golden Emerald and you can use it to…" He began as he inhales, draws out his finger blades and swipes them around rapidly. "DESTROY MICHAEL IN THE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" He shouts to the top of his lungs.

This got Sonia and Manic attention. "Are suggesting an alliance dude?" Manic asked. "You beat I am. So…Do we have a deal?" He asked as he holds his hands out. "Around here we simply grip each other's hands tightly." He explained why he had his hands out.

Sonia grabbed his hand but it wasn't really that tightly. When Manic grabbed his hand, his grip was so strong and tight, he actually cracked bones in Scourage's hand making Scourage yelp in pain.

Scourage was both shocked and surprised by Manic's strength. "You truculent space bumpkin! You crushed my favorite hand!" Scourage cried out. "Really?" Manic asked as he looked at his own hand. "My hand feels fine." He said making Scourage annoyed. "But rest assured, you got a deal." He told Scourage making him smile.

"Good." Scourage said with a smirk and tried to fix his hand. "Just let me fix my fingers." He told Sonia and Manic as they heard a loud crack in his hand. "Aah!" Scourage cried in pain and shook his hand to relieve the pain. "Now that we are in agreement, I need to make a quick stop somewhere." He told the two sibling aliens as he punched in a code on his control glove.

After punching in the code, a hover pod floats down to them. "Road trip." Scourage said as he told his new friends to hop aboard. "Ladies first." He said to Sonia who whipped her hair and walked toward the pod.

With Michael's group

Milo was still flying Michael and Ben away from Sonia and Manic.

"So you built a watch that can turn you into aliens?" Michael asked Ben. "That's right Michael." Ben said as he showed him the Omnitrix. "I call it the Omnitrix. It takes DNA samples of any alien lifeform and turns it into code. Thus turning it into a selectable transformation." He explained the Omnitrix's prime function. "Was that Upgrade thing all you can turn into?" Milo asked.

"No. I have others. Right now the Omnitrix has a playlist of 10 different aliens. Other transformations I still need to unlock." Ben explained. "Why 10 aliens?" Michael asked wondering why. "It's for simplicity sake. And the being Upgrade comes from is called a Galvanic Mechamorph. They can enhance any type of technology into a high-tech state. To put it simple, He can upgrade anything mechanical. He can also downgrade them as well." Ben laid out the details.

Michael was rather impressed. "Cool." He said then realized something. "Hey. How did you know me and Milo were in that car?" Michael asked. "And how did you get on the car without me noticing?" Milo asked also wanting to know.

"I was in the abandon house next door, until I saw those 3 come out of a ring portal." Ben explained making Michael's eyes widen. "So that's how he got back!" Michael said now knowing how Scourage got back to Earth. "I came out and saw those two beating you hard and figured I had to help you somehow. Then I saw Milo trying to run that car. So I turned into Upgrade and helped him get the car started to come help you." Ben continued explaining.

The two boys were shocked that they were being spied on, but were glad for the extra assistance. "Well thanks for the assist. I couldn't get that dang thing running." Milo said thankfully. "Anytime." Ben said. "Now just who was that boy in the green hat? And why did he look like you Michael?" Milo asked. "That was Screech Beatmen." Ben said knowing who he really was. "He doesn't go by that anymore. That was his real name, but he calls himself Scourage In The Hat now." Michael said.

"When I first met him, he wanted to use my powers to take over the universe. And he figured the only way to catch me, was to become me. So he took my face and body." Michael explained. "Funny. He looked creepier than I remember him." He added in referring to Scourage's ruined face along with making fun of him. "Where did you even send him to?" Ben asked. "Just another planet that has only disgusting swamps." Michael answered. Ben shuddered in disgust. "Man, I hate swamps." Ben complained. "Me too." Milo said agreeing with Ben. "Now you know how I feel about them." Michael said.

"But now that he's back…he's out for revenge on me and the Loud's." Michael said in worry. "The Loud's?" Milo asked in confusion. "It's a family I live with." Michael explained. "We need to get out of the open." Ben said. "Ben's right. Scourage, Sonia and Manic might come looking for us again." Michael said and he looked down at the houses below and saw the perfect one they can hide at. "Milo, take us down to that house." He ordered Milo while pointing at a house. "Okay." Milo said as he descended down to the house.

Once they landed at the house, they run up to the window and saw Stella, Rusty, Liam and Zach playing video games in the house. "Michael, why did you make us come here?" Milo asked. "These guys are friends, trust me." Michael said.

He knocked on the window getting the others attention. Stella and the guys looked around until she noticed Michael, Milo and Ben outside. "Michael!" Stella said through the window with a smile. Rusty, Liam and Zach saw him and smiled. "Me and these guys with me need a place to hide!" Michael called out to them, making them concerned. "Come on in! The doors unlocked!" Rusty called out to them.

Michael, Milo and Ben ran to the door and walked in. "How's it going guys?" Michael asked. "Howdy Michael!" Liam greeted him. "What brings you here?" Zach asked. "We got a problem guys." Michael said. Rusty noticed Milo and Ben. "Who are these guys?" He asked. "What's up buck?" Milo asked while shaking Stella's hand.

The 4 friends look at him in confusion. "Uh…Her names not Buck." Zach said. "That's my way of saying hi dude." Milo said. "This is Milo Fancy Belt." Michael introduced Milo to the guys. "You're last name is Fancy Belt?" Liam asked. "Yep. And yes, because of my golden belt." Milo said adjusting his belt. "And I'm Ben Tennyson." Ben introduced himself.

"Hey." Rusty greeted him. "So what's the problem?" Zach asked. "You guys remember Scourage In The Hat?" Michael asked them as they're eyes widen. "Yeah. He's punk version of you and the guy you sent away. Man I'm glad he's gone." Stella said feeling relived. "Not anymore he's not. He found a way off the Swamp Planet and now he's back." Michael said shocking the 4 friends shocked. "WHAT?!" They all asked in shock.

"HE'S ALIVE? Zach asked. "Yes." Michael answered. "Why come talk to us about this? Why not Lincoln and Clyde?" Stella asked in a confused shock. "They're on vacation in Hawaii and getting ready for a wedding with their families and the Casagrande's. I don't want to ruin they're time by telling them that Snot Boy is back. So I figured tell others I can trust." Michael told them. "How did that varmint get back?!" Liam asked in outrage. After a few minutes of explaining what was going on, they walked into the garage. "Welcome to what I like to call the Rust-Man cave. Which is what I'd like to say to a girl." Rusty said sheepishly. "Anyone who's not my mom." He whispered to them.

Michael know they had to get serious. "Rusty, focus. We need to figure out why Sonia and Manic think I'm the key to finding the Golden Emerald." He said as he was thinking. "And why did they mention Rosy?" He said as he remembered them mentioning her. "There must be a connection." Milo suggested.

After a few seconds of thinking, Michael realized something. "Wait, there is!" He said getting Milo and Ben's attention and the others got curious. Michael pulled his map out of his backpack, opened it and pointed at a picture of an emerald. "Look, there's an emerald symbol drawn here on the map Rosy gave me. I never knew what it meant before." He said as he showed them the map.

Ben pulled out on of his gadgets and was analyzing the map. Suddenly the map started glowing. "Somethings happening!" Ben said. The map was glowing like crazy which was freaking Michael out. "Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa!" He exclaims as he dropped the map.

When Michael dropped the map, it floated down to the ground and in a burst of light, Rosy's spirit appeared before them as she spreads her arms out. Michael was surprised to see his old caretaker's spirit, he got emotional about it.

Michael took nervous step closer. "Rosy?" He asked emotionally. "Hello Michael." Rosy's spirit greeted him. "If your watching this, then something has happened to me. And I pray that you've made it to Earth unharmed." She said to him. "That's your old caretaker?" Zach asked Michael receiving a nod yes. "This world has been chosen for a very important reason." Rosy continued. "It's the secret location of the Golden Emerald." She says as she revealed the Golden Emerald to all the kids.

The kids were amazed at the image of the Emerald. "Whoa." Michael said in amazement. Ben was holding a video recorder and was gathering everything. "Hot diggidy dang! That is one shiny diamond." Liam exclaimed in amazement. "That is so cool." Stella said. "The Emerald has the power to turn thoughts into reality." Rosy explains the Emeralds power.

Rusty still gazed in amazement at the Golden Emerald. "Like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters." He said and got shushed by Milo, Ben and Stella. "Quiet Rusty." Stella told him. "In the wrong hands, it could threaten all life in the universe. Protecting the Emerald was my sacred duty. And now, I must pass that responsibility to you." Rosy said Michael.

Michael had a feeling in his gut and his eyed widen. "This…is my moment." He said feeling it was officially time. Milo saw his face and knew where he was going. "Follow the map, find the Emerald and keep it safe." Rosy instructed Michael. "My dear Michael, you have a heart unlike any creature I've ever seen. And there is one more thing you must know Michael. Your family is out there. I pray that one day, you will find them. I love you so much. Goodbye Michael." Rosy bid Michael farewell as her spirit retreats into the map.

Michael tried to reach out for her. "No! Wait!" He said. But it was too late. All that was left of her spirit was one of her feathers from her outfit and it floated into Michael's hand. Michael gripped his hand emotionally. "I won't let you down Rosy." He said as he almost broke into tears.

Stella put her hand on Michael's shoulders for comfort. "I'm so sorry you lost her Mike." Stella apologized feeling bad for Michael. "So…Is that you're dad?" Rusty asked Milo if Michael was his dad. "What?!" Milo asked confused and weirded out. "This is so cool. And Emerald made out of gold and has the power to make any thought real and it's somewhere here on Earth." Ben said going over the information he's gathered.

"So what are you gonna do Michael?" Liam asked. "Only one thing I can do Liam. Find that Emerald." Michael said in determination. The guys were surprised by his determination.

Michael picks up the map and looks to where he has to go first. "According to the map, the first clue is in the mountains of Siberia." Michael tells them the first location. "And according to my readings, what's there is a compass that leads to the Emerald." Ben says to them. "And with Sonia and Manic here, it's a race." Milo says reminding them of Sonia and Manic.

Then Rusty thinks of something. "Manic?" He asked. "You know, I knew a kid in preschool named Manic. Can fit his entire arm in his mouth." Rusty said creeping everyone out. "If this is the same Manic…Ugh, we are dead." He said with a sigh. "Uh, I don't think that's the Manic they're talking about Rusty." Zach pointed out.

Michael shook his head, takes off the Ring of Warp and uses the Infinity Sword to power it up. "This Manic, that Manic…doesn't matter." He said to the friends. "We're gonna get there first." He said as he tossed the ring, opening a portal to Siberia. Milo and Ben chuckled sheepishly. "We?" Ben asked. "Um…What do you mean We?" Milo asked hoping that's not what he thought he meant.

Michael smiles at Milo and Ben. "You two are coming with me." Michael told them making they're eyes widen. "What? No I can't come with you! I'm only 10!" Ben said in shock. "And I only came just to warn you! I'm not a field guy!" Milo said. "Don't worry. I got both your back. I won't let anything happen to you guys." He said as he holds his fist out.

Milo and Ben just looked at his fist in confusion. "It's a Power Bump. On Earth, it means an unbreakable promise." Michael explained. Ben and Milo looked at each other and thought. "Okay…I'm in!" Milo said as he bumped Michael's fist. "It's really a fist bump. But if you're going to keep your word the count me in too!" Ben said as he also bumped they're fists.

Stella and they guys smile that they were in agreement. "Good luck out there fellas." Liam said. "What can we do to help Michael?" Stella asked wanting to do something to help. "You guys stay here in Royal Woods and keep an eye out for Scourage activity." Michael instructed them and they nod. "Can do Mike." Zach said. "Go find that Golden Emerald!" Rusty cheered for them.

The 3 boys nod. "Let's go." Michael and Milo both said together and they looked at each other and laughed. Then the boy entered through the portal and went to the snowy Siberia.

There you have it folks. Scourage made a deal with Sonia and Manic, Albedo has made an appearance with some others in tow, Michael now knows why Sonia and Manic think he's the Key to finding the Emerald, and now, Michael, Milo and Ben are off to Siberia to find that compass. Where is Scourage's destination for now? What are the Loud's up to in Hawaii? And what will the hero boys see in Siberia? Make sure to tune in next time to find out.
