Southside Days!

To c-wolf: Hey there c-wolf! Oh my God, man! I haven't heard from you in a very long time! Yeah, I'll have to agree with you. With friends like Forge, who needs enemies? Enjoy the new chapter!

To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky Genocide! Nice to hear from you again! The infamous gopher from the Caddyshack movies driving Scott crazy? I like that idea. I'll see what I can do with that. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Aaron: Hey there Aaron! Yeah, the X-Girls got victimized again. They just can't get a break! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, Forge's inventions cause yet another infamous disaster. And you thought Forge's shrink ray over in Red Witch's world was nuts! We got a giant crab! Where is Exo, you ask? He's around. We just haven't seen him yet. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey there, Rae! I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new one!

To RogueFanKC: Hey there Rogue! Nice to hear from you again! Yeah, you do have a point there. In this case, all Forge did was accidentally make a poor crab a giant. That's tame compared to his other disasters. As far as the tree thing goes, I'm glad you liked that. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for the new chapter of "X Kat: The Mutant Squadron"!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read the new chapters of "Valor, Venom, and Other Stuff", "Memories Are Made of This" and your new one-shots, and I loved them! Explosions, insanity, and arguing Joes, oh my! Yeah, I wanted to use your crab idea. It provided some great inspiration to continue this chapter! I can't wait for the Alex fic to come to fruition! Finish it up quick! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Valor, Venom, and other Stuff", and "Memories Are Made of This"!

To todd fan: Hey there todd fan! Yeah, Forge is so lovable, we readers can't help but forgive him for his screw-ups. Yep, the X-Men and the Southside Misfits have to deal with a giant crab. Yeah, I would go the giant sea otter route, but some problems: Eric busted the Re-Bigulator so it can't be used, you have to find a sea otter to make huge, and you also have to find a way to restore the sea otter to normal! Not to mention you gotta deal with those whackos that like to hide out among the sane members of the environmentalist set. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter, and I can't wait for more chapters of "Slugs and Snails", "Little Shop of Mutants", "Welcome to the Enchanted Land", and "X-Men: Evolution, the Musical"!

To Metal Dragoon: Hey there Metal Dragoon! It's nice to see you back, man! I missed you! I'm glad you liked the last chapter, man! Where in the world is Exo, you ask? Don't worry, he's around. I just haven't mentioned him yet. I didn't base this on the Lilo and Stitch television. Red Witch provided the idea. I guess it ended up one heck of a concidence. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for the new chapter of "Take The Long Way Home"! Put it up quickly, man!

Chapter 4: Planning Problems!

The skies over Hawaii

The giant crab scuttled into the city, very scared, and very confused. People panicked and ran away as the crab smashed all the buildings in its path unintentionally.

Where am I? And how'd I get so friggin' big? And why am I thinking in English? That's a human language! I'm a crab. Shouldn't crabs have their own language or something? Where's my mommy? The crab thought as he smashed his way through another building. Meanwhile, flying above the city, was what appeared to be a small robotic pterodactyl with a blue body, silver wings that had black bombs with yellow warheads mounted underneath them, yellow talons, and a red and yellow head. The pterodactyl watched the giant crab fly around. The robotic dinosaur cawed, and flew to a building top. As the robot came toward the ground, it unfolded into a winged robot with a blue body, gray arms and legs, a red head, and the pterodactyl head on its chest. The robot landed on the building top on its feet. The robot got surrounded by a strange mist. Sounds of whirring and metal clanking were heard. The mist cleared, revealing a young blond boy wearing a black t-shirt with the Autobot symbol on it and blue jeans.

"Oh yeah. That is a big crab." The boy blinked. The boy was born Tim Webster, but he was codenamed Exo, an honorary member of the Southside Misfits. He was a mutant with the power to transform himself in robotic lifeforms. He often used this power to transform himself into Transformers and Zoids, his favorite toys. The mist went back around the body, and when it cleared up, he turned into the robotic pterodactyl he just was. He took off, and flew back to the others, who were gathered on the beach.

"Well, Exo?" Jason Vincent asked.

"Me Swoop reporting! Me Swoop find crab across town!" Exo reported.

"Alright." Scott nodded. "Now we got to find a way to stop that crab."

"Like, we can't hurt the poor thing!" Kitty exclaimed.

"You want me to slap her, boss?" Eric asked Jason.

"I think it'll be fine, Eric." Jason sighed.

"That poor crab is scared and confused!" Kitty defended.

"The crab's not the only one." Lisa gulped.

"Kitty, we have to stop that thing from destroying Hawaii!" Bobby snapped.

"How would you feel if you suddenly got turned into a twenty-foot tall giant?" Kitty snapped back.

"Calm down, you two!" Dani held them apart.

"Kitty does have a point, Scott." Jason nodded. "The crab's just a victim."

"OW!" Eric smacked Forge. "Will you stop that?"

"No." Eric smacked him again.

"Hey!"

"Forge and I will work on a way to reverse the process." Johnny B offered.

"All we had to do was just set my Re-Bigulator to reverse." Forge grumbled. "But we can't do that now because somebody had to break it!" Forge glared at Eric. Eric glared back.

"You got a problem with me breaking things?" Eric growled.

"Yeah, when it's my things you're breaking!" Forge snapped.

"Gentlemen, as amusing as you two performing the classic conflict of brains against brawn is, we have something more important to worry about." Johnny B said. "Besides, it's not like it can't be repaired. I've fixed lots of things Eric here has broken."

"Yeah." Mike grinned at Dani. "Don't you just hate it when giant crabs interrupt our makeout sessions?" Mike wiggled his eyebrows. He got punched across the mouth. "OW!"

"So, what's the plan?" Sam asked.

"We'll take them from the left, and you guys take them from the right." Scott said.

"Let's do it!" Tabby whooped.

On the beach

"Ahhh…this is the life…" Logan, the feral mutant codenamed Wolverine, smirked. "Sun…Sand…and quiet…" He was dressed in blue swim trunks. He laid back on a hammock that he put up between two palm trees. He fell asleep with his hands behind his head and his favorite hat over his face. "Zzzzzzzz…" He started mumbling in his sleep. "Heh heh…heh heh…come and get some…zzzzzzzzzzzz…" Nearby, Storm and Raven were catching some rays. The X-Men raced by at incredible speed, causing the two women to jump. The slipstream they created caused Logan to have a more hilarious reaction. It caused the hammock to spin around…with Logan still in it. "Whoooaoaaaaaooooaaaaooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa" The hammock threw Wolverine out. "WAAAAAAAAH!"

SPLASH!

"What was that?" Storm asked Raven.

"The kids." Raven blinked.

Well, well, well! Looks like our heroes are going to face off against the crab! Can our heroes save the day? What about the villain? And what is up with that crab? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
