Nickelodeon Invaded

Nickelodeon Invaded was a special crossover event that aired on Nickelodeon in the United States from May 4th, 2007 through May 28th (which was Memorial Day of 2007). This was a special event about a continuing storyline of an alien invasion which ran through five different episodes that were special episodes of five CN Original Series: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, SpongeBob SquarePants, Sonic The Hedgehog: Animated, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Camp Lazlo, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Chris Phillips, an old announcer for Cartoon Network, serve as the announcer for this event.
According to Maxwell Atoms, creator of Billy and Mandy, the event occured because Kraft Cheese sponsored it, hence the connections between cheese and the aliens on each show's episode. However the company backed out at the last minute so the episodes were shown as a special event on the network. Craig McCracken, creator of Foster's Home, stated that nobody on board was excited. Three aliens were created during advertisements, including Sklrrvss (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez), Peaches (voiced by Tom Kenny), and Glog (voiced by Jason DeMarco).
Chris Phillips, one of the original announcers for Cartoon Network during the Checkerboard era, serves as the announcer for this event.
== Part I: Cheese A Go-Go ==
In this episode of Foster's, Frankie is first at a post office getting a package ready when she comes across Cheese and ignores him, later as she is leaving this post office, she realizes that Cheese is running around streets yelling "Gotta Go!" repetitively so she lets him into the Foster's bus. They pick up both Mac and Bloo at the local movie theater where they were watching a science fiction film about an alien invasion called "Brain Sucking Aliens From The Moon". They also pick up both Eduardo and Coco from a dentist clinic, and Eduardo becomes loopy from anesthetics causing him to suddenly and ironically warn Bloo that he's hiding from aardvarks like in that movie him and Mac were watching. And because this comes out of Eduardo, and Bloo reads a tabloid newspaper that was in the clinic's waiting room which has an article about an alien invasion with a picture of an alien that resembles Cheese, he suddenly feels as if Cheese is one of those extraterrestrials hitmen planning to cause an alien invasion. And soon they're back in the Foster's Home bus en route to the courthouse as Wilt is defending Madame Foster, and in the bus, Bloo shows Mac that tabloid newspaper he got from the clinic they were at and warns him that because this alien invader is this article's picture is really similar to Cheese, he believes that Cheese is one the alien invaders and from how Eduardo is, has removed his brain. But Mac won't believe Bloo about this. And when they arrive at the destination, Bloo, Eduardo, and Cheese are warned by Frankie to remain inside of the Foster's bus, Bloo uses the bus's 2-way radio to contact the galaxy, but this barely works.
Bloo soon traps Cheese in a picnic blanket, removes the bus's 2-way radio, and brings him to an observatory tower calling out, "We have your Cheese, aliens!" And when the group leaves the courthouse, they find Bloo, Cheese, and Eduardo missing, and then everyone falls out and the bus gets towed away. A cop also shows them that the bus was parked in a "No Parking Zone." Plus Coco, Jackie Khones, and this cop go to get a sandwich. So Wilt and Frankie look for Bloo, Eduardo, and Cheese while Mac and Madame Foster attempt to retrieve the bus. But with Eduardo sprinting all over the community, smooching people throughout town, and they fear that he's doing this to remove their brains. As Wilt went to intercept him, the cops decided to investigate also. Frankie also rrives at the observatory to drag Bloo and Cheese away. And when Frankie returns Cheese home to his rightful owner, Louise (who is Mac's neighbor), Madame Foster contacts her telling that she and the entire crew is under solitary confinement. Frankie responds by telling her she'll be at the penitentiary first thing in the morning. And as luck would have it, that evening back at the observatory, an unidentified flying object soon comes beeping as the aliens inside this moan, "Cheese." The imaginary friend Cheese also returns to the observatory which means the start of an alien invasion!
== Part II: The Sponges are Coming ==
That night, Mr. Krabs believes that aliens are coming to collect Squidward. Meanwhile, Plankton tries to steel the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. However, an eerily green glow and mist is coming out of the Krusty Krab. Meanwhile, Squidward is tutoring SpongeBob but then hears Mr. Krabs screaming. Mr. Krabs tries to tell everyone that the aliens are coming, but only Plankton (With a sunburned face) believes him.
Everyone realizes that Patrick is missing. SpongeBob reveals a note found at Patrick's House that says "At Sandy's, needs help." Mr. Krabs think that the "aliens" have captured Patrick. A meteor then crash lands in the Krusty Krab. The Krusty Krab check on the so-called meteor when a gooey, green hand pops out of it. Everyone panics and hides. SpongeBob then runs off but bump into the "alien." The collision between it and SpongeBob causes the goo to come off, revealing the alien to only be Patrick.
Patrick tells of his experience at Sandy's treedome. Krabs then takes the role as leader and try to storm Sandy's house, however a circle of heat is covering the area. After planning how to attack Sandy's treedome, choosing weapons, everyone storms the house, but to no avail. Krabs storms off but Patrick thinks of a plan. This plan involved Karen.
Later that night, everyone gets ready to attack. One of the "aliens" comes out of the house. Revealing itself to be Sandy. She also reveals that the other "aliens" in the house are Sandy's relatives, staying for a while. But they still go back to their places. Though Jimmy's fears occur when claws and buzz-saws from a UFO suddenly come and takes Squidward, bringing him through space.
== Part III: That Darn Platypus ==
Electricity in town is not working including vehicles! So everyone has to walk to destinations. On the way, Windsor shows a magazine about recent alien invasion events. And this magazine has a story about removal of the Cul-de-Sac made front page news and shows the Eds (marking it one of the only time the Eds have appeared on another show - the other being the KND/Billy & Mandy crossover episode). Meanwhile, a new student arrives at Charles Darwin Middle School named Rick. Rick tries to trick everyone into thinking he's an alien by mentioning Brain Juice. It seems to work but not for Adam, who believes Richard is just a normal platypus. In the end, Richard reveals that the brain juice he kept talking about was just a normal juice drink.
== Part IV: Strange Trout from Outer Space/Cheese Orbs ==
Strange Trout from Outer Space: Aliens kidnap Samson and reveal that they've arrived for cheese. Most likely because they never realized that cheese was just the name of this imaginary friend in "Cheese A Go-Go." However, after torturing him, the aliens realize that Samson would not make a good hostage. So they throw him off the UFO. Three new Bean Scouts arrive and appear to be Canadian. Samson thinks the trouts are aliens and tries to prove it as the "aliens" steal Musili's cheese stash. The trouts then leave Camp kidney in a car. The three background characters that helped Samson appear to be the aliens in disguise. They then get beamed up into their ship and take off to Acorn Flats.
Cheese Orbs: The aliens arrive at Acorn Flats. The campers get ready for their Annual International Cheese Ball. However, Patsy and her friends don't go as Patsy is allergic to cheese. Nina reveals her latest invention. This invention won't let a single molecule get to Patsy so she can go to the Cheese Ball. However, Patsy goes to fast and crashes, destroying the vehicle. Nina then walks around the camp at night and is confronted by the aliens. Nina invites them into her lab. Nina asks what part of the galaxy they're from, Zygat 12 or Sector Z (A reference to the missing Kids Next Door operatives). The aliens then play board games all night. The next day, Patsy and Gretchen try to lure Nina out with no success. Everyone, including the Jellybean Scouts, arrive at the Cheese Ball. The aliens almost vaporize Nina, though at the last second, the Cheese Ball starts. However, Patsy eats all the cheese to look like an alien in order to bring Nina back. The aliens soon realize that cheese is gone, currently foiling their efforts.
== Part V: Star Chase Zone ==
Mighton and Bolt, two robots from a Cybertron, think Sonic and his friends are evil because they are destroying Eggman's robots. Robots all over Cyberton have become Zombies. Sonic and Tails travel to Cybertron to seek help. Sonic and Tails discover that Cybertron is under the control of Megatron and aliens, and it might be Tails' fault. Tails' creation Alphextron teams up with Eggman to conquer the world, so Team Sonic teams up with their cyborg duplicates to defeat Alphextron and his army.
== Part VI: Billy & Mandy Moon the Moon ==
The alien's objectives are finally revealed. They were determined to escape with the earth's cheese. When it's the full moon, the aliens will turn into Werewolves and eat everyone. They will then replace everyone with cardboard cutouts. Cardboard cameos of Numbuh Two (Codename: Kids Next Door), Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory, though he was facing backwards), Mac, Bloo (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) and Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy). The aliens also implanted a huge bomb in Sperg's head that explodes 12 hours from when it was first implanted. When fighting, Mandy "accidentally" sets off the bomb.
These alien invaders almost succeed. Billy was even turned into a werewolf. However, Grim turns everyone into superheroes. Meanwhile, Sperg is singing in the control room during his final seconds. His head then explodes, saving Earth. However, he is still alive. He's only headless. The aliens, on the other hand, rebuild the moon using the cheese sprayed from their armpits. As they are sinking in the cheese and eating their way out, the Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda are seen on the site of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, when Timmy smells the cheese. Wanda look at Cosmo, thinking that he "cut the cheese." 
And during end credits, these invaders' spy hitmen did cameo appearances. Wally from Camp Lazlo as Agent 405, Richard from My Gym Partner's a Monkey as Agent 804, Plankton from SpongeBob as Agent 314, Uncle Skipper from Sonic as Agent 1991 and Pud'n from Billy & Mandy as Agent 001. The aliens had also captured five earthlings in order to absorb brain juice. These cameo appearances are actually five of Earth's most idiotic characters of the five shows that were part of this special event: Slips Python (My Gym Partner's a Monkey), Cheese (Foster's Home), Skip (Camp Lazlo), Pip (Sonic) Patrick (SpongeBob) and Fred Fredburger (Billy & Mandy). This showed that Cartoon Network Invaded was a conspiracy!
