Chapter 1

Crustaceans Strike Back

Part 1

It was first day of the school year and a familar girl Jo McCormick was starting High School and she walks up to the front of the school and took a deep breath "Man i am a bit nervous" She says to herself and looks up at the building. A boy about her age walks up to her and looks to her thinking "first day too?" He asks and Jo looks to him nodding "that obvious?" She asks looking to him then looks to the building.

The boy looks to her and smiles "come on we can go in together" he says and Jo looks to him thinking as she walks with him "what's y0ur name?" She asks him and he laughs thinking "oh sorry, i am Blake and you?" he asks curiously and she looks to him holding her hand out to shake his "Jo" She says and he takes her hand shaking it "Nice to meet you"

The Principal came out and saw Jo and walks over "Ah you must be Jo McCormick i heard all about you and i hope you join the school's soft ball team" He says and Blake looks to her "wait, McCormick? are you related to Drew?" he asks curiously and Jo looks to her confused "you know my brother?"

Blake looks to her and nods "yeah, i was in his class for Junior High, so why isn't he here?" Blake asks and Jo sighs looking to him and thinks "my parents and Drew moved away as my parents got transfered and Charterville is my home so i am staying with my best friend Aria Fortunes and her family" She says to Blake who nods understanding.

After Jo's first day of school she heads off to Hillhurst on her purple bike and she gets stopped by Blake and 3 others "hey Jo, it's good to see you again, this is few friends Chloe, Matthew and Krista" Blake says and she Jo smiles "hi, nice to meet you all" She says thinking.

Blake and them look to her thinking "so how was your first day?" Blake asks her curiously and she thinks then smiles "i got to admit, it was not as bad as i thought it would be" Jo says and Chloe looks to her "i was nervous all day, i mean i felt lost all day" She says and Jo looks to her nodding "yeah, i know you mean"

Just then the Crustaeans appears and Nukus laughs "well, allow me to end your troubles by destroying you" He says to Jo and Blake and them gasp "the stories are true, the monsters from the beetleborgs comics are real in our world" Blake says and Jo sighs looking to them "yeah, um their not the only things real in this world" She says and Blake and them looks to her confused.

Jo looks to Nukus glaring at him "i maybe the only one left but you will pay for causing me to have to reveal my secret" She says stepping out and holds out her hand "Data Bonder" she calls out and it appears "Input Card" She says inserting then holds up the bonder "Beetle Blast" she calls out and transforms to Purple Metallix Beetleborg.

Blake, Chloe, Matthew and Krista all gasp seeing their new friend standing before them as the Purple Metallix Beetleborg. "no way" Krista says amazed by this and her and the others hurry to hide letting Jo battle "you can do it Jo" Blake says to her.

Jo glares at Nukus and Horribelle who was also with him and Nukus laughs "you alone are nothing" He says to Jo and makes a monster appear "Destroy her!" He shouts and the monster charges at her "Metallix Baton" Jo calls out summoning her Beetle Battler and attacks the monster.

Blake and his friends watches the battle and thinks "she is good, but why is she alone what did she mean the only one left?" Matthew asks curiously. Jo battles the monster but takes a hit from the monster and got knocked into a tree "your strong, i will give you that but you hav'nt seen all i am made of" Jo says and puts a input card in her Data Laser and blasts several times at the monster.

The monster did take hits but sent a jolt of lightning at Jo sending her backwards again and making her angry "oh i am so over this" she says standing up glaring "Mega Spectra, Beetleborg!" She calls out and transforms into her Mega Mode "Whoa!" Blake and them says at same time.

Nukus glares and vanishes with Horribelle knowing how this is gonna end as Jo sent a powerful blast at the monster finishing it off before sending the monster back into the comics. Jo looks around and sighs "Backflat" she calls out and her armor shatters as she powers down.

Blake and them ran over to her "whoa, your a beetleborg?" Chloe says amazed and Jo looks to them nodding "and the only one left as my brother was one until my family moved away and our good friend Roland was one too until they moved 4 years ago sometime after our original adventures ended" She says to them sighing.

Jo looks to them thinking "listen, i got to go i will catch you guys tomorrow, but please one thing let's keep what you saw here today to ourselves" She says and got on her bike before riding off heading to Hillhurst. Once there she ran inside and looks around "Flabber" She calls out and Flabber appears hearing her "hey Jo how are you?" He asks curiously.

Jo looks to him thinking "i will fine until Nukus and Horribelle returned forcing me to reveal my identity to 3 new friends from School" She says and Flabber gasps "The Crustaceans are back?!" he says and freaks out "were all done for!" he shouts freaking out and melts into a puddle.

Jo shakes her head and thinks "Flabber., Pull yourself together you still have me to protect the city" She says and he pulls himself back to solid form and looks to her "your right, you can beat them i am sure of it" Flabber says and hugs her "it's good to see you again either way" he says and she hugs back "thanks Flabber i just wish Drew and Roland was still here"

Flabber nods and thinks looking to her "yeah so do i, but i think you might wanna inform your friend Aria about what's going on" He says and Jo thinks looking to him "i will when she returns but right now, she's out of town for a convention and won't be back until next week probably" Jo says and Flabber sighs as the timing with the situation was bad.
