The Blue Beetle of Equestria

The scarab: Part 2

The next morning Button woke up, grabbed some clothes, and headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

While getting dressed he notices something strange.

On his back was the strange scarab he had found at the destroyed Star Industries building!

It took all of Button's will to not start yelling and panicking.

Once he was calm he began asking questions.

"Okay, what is this thing?" He questions

"I am known as a Scarab, serial number Khaji Da." Says a mechanical voice.

That made Button freeze in place since it sounded like the voice was coming from inside his head. After that he needed time to calm down again.

"Okay, so there's a Scarab latched onto my back going by the name Khaji Da. That's totally normal." Button says with sarcasm.

"I was unaware that this is normal for your species."

"It's not, I was being sarcastic."

"Understood." Says Khaji.

"I'm probably going to regret asking this, but why did you latch onto my back?" Questions Button.

"The answer as to why this unit has fused to your spine is unknown. There is missing data from this units memory storage."

"Well that's just- wait did you just say fused to my spine?" Button asks. He knew it was on his back, but it fused to his spine as well?!

"Correct, this is how this unit is able to communicate with you."

"Good to know. So what were you designed to do?"

"This unit believes that it has a mission. However, the mission is unknown because of the missing data."

"Button! Is everything okay in there?!" Asks his mother from outside the bathroom.

"Everything is fine mom! Just getting dressed!" Yells Button.

"This unit believes that this conversation should be continued at a different time."

"Agreed." Whispers Button as he finished getting ready.

Once he was dressed he went down for breakfast. Thankfully it was Saturday so there was no school.

After eating breakfast he excuses himself so he could go for a walk and continue his conversation with Khaji Da.


Once button was outside he continued the conversation.

"So do you have any memory of before I found you?"

"Negative. However there are a few keywords that seem to be of importance."

"What are the key words?"

"The known keywords are Blue Beetle, Magic Star, The Super Society and The Reach."

This confused Button at first. What did they all mean? He knew about the Super Society. They were the predecessors of the Super Friends.

Then he remembered something.

The Super Society had a hero called the Blue Beetle in their group. There was also the fact that the building he found Khaji Da in belonged to Magic Star.

That possibly meant that Magic Star was the Blue Beetle. But what was the Reach?

Just trying to figure that peace of information out gave him a headache. So he continued with his walk.

Once he finished his walk he began heading home.

However before he could get there there was a loud crash sound and the screaming was heard.

Button quickly turns around to see what's happening.

"Run! It's another villain attack!" Some pony yells in panic.

Button then heads to an alleyway to hide.

"Okay, we're safe." Says Button.

" This is true. However this unit has armor and weapons at its disposal. Would you like for it to be used?"

This makes Buttons eyes widen. This thing had armor and weapons? Part of him didn't exactly believe or trust it. However, a curious part of him wanted to test it out.

"Okay. Activate the armor."
