Once upon a time, a person named Michael decided to go crab hunting. He was on a beach with a river leading away from society. He heard from someone that many blue crabs were in the river, so he ventured off into the wilderness. When he had gone far into the river, he used his net and caught a small blue crab. After that, 19 blue crabs blocked off the river and chased him out. He had dropped the blue crab and ran for his life.

Prologue

Once Michael ran out of the river, he was greeted by his brother, Cameron, and his best friend, Eddie. He had told them about his discovery, and they immediately took off with survival items: Michael and Cameron with nets, Eddie with his bare hands. They came across a dry spot that they called their home base, then they devised a plan to investigate further.

Chapter 1

The Meetup

The plan the three came up with was simple: Michael would bonk the crabs with the pole of his net, then catch the crabs. Cameron would then take the crabs back to the place the group initially met up to put them safely in a bucket.

The plan worked flawlessly. Crabs were flying into the net left and right. Michael swiftly retrieved three crabs and Cameron brought them back to shore immediately. A large group of people were attracted. The catching slowed down after that. More and more people arrived, scaring away the crabs, and the crab catch was soon coming to a stop.

Chapter 2

The Capture

Another group stated that there were 17 crabs scampering away, meaning that there were 20 crabs total. Michael told everyone and every group in the area about how the crabs were coordinating a plan to fight back against the catchers, as he had previously experienced. Eddie, Michael, and Cameron explored further, while others stayed behind in fear of experiencing what Michael had experienced.

Eddie, Michael, and Cameron were alone in an area far away from the rest of the crab catching groups. They were in the territory of the crab gang, and evidence showed. There were holes everywhere, the river had many places to hide inside and out for the crabs, and there were no people in sight.

Chapter 3

The Wasteland

They noticed the holes and theorized about what could have happened. Their conclusion was that they were bullet holes from a war that happened against the crabs, eliminating all red ones as they would stand out more. This would only leave blue crabs to repopulate the area. These blue crabs formed a gang and attacked any crab catchers that dared to come into their home.

Once the team had concluded what had happened with the crab gang, they hung out on an island in the middle of the river. This island would be a resting place for now. There were no crabs in sight, so the three decided to relax and take in the scenery. Once rested, they decided to get back to work. They checked rocks upon rocks, but there was no luck with finding the elusive blue crab.

Chapter 4

The Purple Crab

Cameron then found something. It was purple. It was alive. It was a crab. This shocked the three and they had discussed why the crab was purple for a while. There was no conclusion, as they were interrupted before they could even make a move.

Crabs. Crabs. CRABS. The crab gang had come for them and were running straight at them. The three were running through the river, it slowing them down tremendously as the gang gains on them. The end was in sight. The three only needed to run straight, though it was a long way away and the path was not what it seemed.

Chapter 5

The Chase

The three realized that they had to get past rocks, shells, and other members of the crab gang to get to safety. They ran as fast as they could. The crabs ran faster.

After a long and tiring chase, the group successfully escaped the gang and headed home for the day to clear their minds and move on with the four catches. The 16 crabs left lived in fear that the three would soon be back and even stronger than before.

The next day, Michael and Eddie were going back to that secretive place. They caught a crab, so big it was thought to be the leader of the gang, and another crab that was smaller in size. These were both blue crabs, and the two captured the crabs and transported them to their camp at the start of the beach, while discussing what they had seen last time.

Chapter 6

Reunion

Once they were back into the wasteland, they quickly realized it split off into different paths. They decided to stay together so there would be less of a chance that the blue crabs would attack and ruin their plans.

They were walking through the river, until, all of a sudden, they saw red in the sand! They also saw purple in the sand too! This proved that there was actually a war between the different crabs. But why? They discussed while walking through the wasteland; falling deeper into the rabbit hole of the blue crab.
