On televisions throughout Insanus the programs were interrupted by a news report.
"We interrupt this program to bring breaking news," said the Reporter-Robot. "Two high school students, Thrasher and Blastus, have betrayed our kind by helping organic Ben 10 and another organic. If anyone sees Thrasher, Blastus, or the organics shoot first ask questions later.
In the badlands Thrasher and Blastus reverted to their normal modes and they along with Rook and Ben rested after the chase.
"Before we make our next move we should plan our next action," said Roo.
"Oh man oh man," said Blastus worryingly. "We're fugitives!"
"Calm down?" said Thrasher angrily. "We wouldn't be in this mess if Ben and Rook didn't blow our cover!"
"We were just helping people!" angrily replied Ben.
"Maimy and Megawat would have gotten better!"
"Actually Thrasher does have a point," said Rook.
"Not helping Rook," said Ben. "Anyway everything will be all right."
"All right!" Thrasher said angrily. "You heard what Dreadnot said me and Blastus are now considered to be criminals and our lives are completely ruined!"
Ben stayed silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your lives. When we catch Dr. Psychobos by giving you and Blastus full credit you could claim full credit."
"And then we can claim we were manipulating you and Rook the whole time," said Thrasher when he realized the plan."
"I can't take it anymore!" said Blastus. "I need that USB drive so I won't get captured!"
Blastus ran toward Thrasher and opened his chest compartment.
"Hey!" said Thrasher in an annoyed tone.
Before Blastus could use the USB drive Rook grabbed it.
"I need that!" said Blastus.
"It will be just a second," said Rook as he changed the Proto-Tool to scanner mode. "It is best to make sure this USB drive does not contain any viruses."
Rook did a scan and looked shocked.
"What's wrong?" Ben asked Rook.
"According to these scans the drive does increase the abilities of a robot that uses it, it contains a virus that can not be detected through normal means and has a frequency that only the most advance technology can detect."
"I told you it was a bad idea to use the drive!" Thrasher said to Blastus.
"Hey!" replied Blastus. "Other than that virus it does make you tougher."
"I don't have to be a detective to tell that Dr. Pyschobos is behind this," said Ben. "Rook, can you trace the signal?"
"I can," said Rook.
"Ready Thrasher and Blastus?" asked Ben.
"More ready than I've other been," said Thrasher.
"I guess I'm ready too but can I use the drive?" asked Blastus. "You know, to give the extra edge."
"No!" said Ben, Rook, and Thrasher simultaneously.
