== Transcript ==
Mermaid Girl was by herself, sitting on a bed in a bedroom in the Hall of Heroes.
Mermaid Girl: "This hero stuff is hard work…"
She got up and walked over to a framed picture of Mermaid Man which was sitting on top of a little table.
Mermaid Girl: "How did he used to do it all the time?"
(Super Sponge intro is played.)
‘Bikini Bottom, 1966…’
People were working in the Mustard Mine…
Mining boss: “Good work, everyone! Keep it up! Chef Knox is gonna be really happy with us.”
Mining employee: “Maybe after today, we can get a raise?”
Mining boss: “BAHAHA! You always are the funny one.”
The mining employee sighed in frustration.
Suddenly, there was a mini explosion near the entrance! Then, a bunch of fish in black colored cult robes appeared, holding swords!
Mining boss: “What’s going on here?!”
Cult member: “Nobody move!”
Just then, the leader of the cult, a fish in a purple colored robe, entered the Mustard Mine!
Cult leader: “We will be in charge of this mine now…”
Commissioner Goldfish was talking on a 1960s phone, in his office building.
Commissioner Goldfish: “What’s that?!... Villains at the Mustard Mine?!... Thanks for alerting me.”
Commissioner Goldish got off the phone and the chief of police was standing next to him.
Commissioner Goldish: “Oh Neptune…”
Chief: “What are we gonna do, Commissioner?”
Commissioner Goldfish: “Should we call him?”
Chief: “If there's one person out there that can help our town when it's in need, it's gotta be Mermaid Man.”
Commissioner Goldfish: “My thoughts exactly, Chief.”
A young Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were sitting at a table in the Mermalair, playing chess.
Mermaid Man: “Aha! Checkmate.”
Barnacle Boy: “Golly gee, Ernie! I don't know why I even play this game when you always beat me.”
Mermaid Man: “Alas, Tim, you're getting better. You gave me more of a challenge this time we played. Besides, as superheroes it's important we develop a never give up attitude. Every loss we take can be turned into the first step to us winning the next time.”
Barnacle Boy: “Gosh, Ernie. You're right. I never thought of it like that before.”
Just then, a ringing was heard!
Mermaid Man: “It's the Mermaphone!”
Mermaid Man walked over to the Mermaphone, which was on the wall, and he answered it.
Mermaid Man: “Hello?”
Commissioner Goldfish: “Mermaid Man? Are you there?”
Mermaid Man: “Yes, Commissioner Goldfish. What's the emergency?”
Commissioner Goldfish: “Some type of evil gang or something has taken over the Mustard Mine in Bikini Bottom!”
Mermaid Man: “We’re on our way to stop them, Commissioner!”
Commissioner Goldfish: “Thank heavens we got you two, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy!”
Mermaid Man: “It’s all in a day’s work.”
Mermaid Man hung up the phone.
Mermaid Man: “C’mon Barnacle Boy, we gotta get going.”
Barnacle Boy: “Already on it!”
They both hopped into the Invisible Boatmobile! (Mermaid Man in the driving seat.)
Mermaid Man: “Got your invisible seat belt on?”
Barnacle Boy: “Yup!”
Mermaid Man: “Good. Even when being driven in an invisible vehicle, it’s important to always wear your seat belt.”
They drove off, out of the Mermalair, and onto a busy road! Mermaid Man stopped the vehicle.
Barnacle Boy: “My gosh! Why are we stopping? There's a crime in progress!”
Mermaid Man: “Yes, but we're at a stop sign. Even crime fighters must follow the rules of the road and stop at stop signs. If we don't, it would be very hypocritical to expect others to.”
Barnacle Boy: “You're right, Mermaid Man. Always gotta set an example.”
They drove up.
(Bubble transition.)
The employees were being forced to keep mining by the cult. One of the miners dug up a golden knife.
Cult leader: “Excellent! Give it here!”
The miner gave the golden knife to the cult leader.
Cult leader: “The Mega Glork has never been so close! I can feel it!”
Mining boss: “You got what you were looking for, now scram! You better get out of here and leave my men alone, you disgusting freaks!”
Cult leader: “What did you just say to me?”
The cult leader started walking towards the boss, holding a really sharp sword!
The boss gulped!
At that moment, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy appeared!
Mermaid Man: “Back away from him, you vile villains!”
Cult leader: “Ah, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! I was expecting you to drop by…”
Barnacle Boy: “Who the heck are you?”
Cult leader: “They call me Father Chax. My mission is to revive the Mega Glork, and no one can stop me!”
Mermaid Man: “The power of good will stop you!”
Father Chax: “GET THEM!”
(“The Lineman” started playing over the scene.)
The cult members started running towards the heroes!
One tried to hit Mermaid Man with a sword, but Mermaid Man ducked, then punched him!
‘POW!’
One then jumped at Barnacle Boy with a sword! He kicked the cult member!
‘KICK!’
The two heroes stood side by side, continuing to fight the cultists!
‘BAM!’
‘WHAM!’
‘SLAP!’
‘KNOCK OUT!’
The heroes were winning!
(“The Lineman” stopped playing.)
“HAHAHA…”
A sinister laugh echoed around them.
Barnacle Boy: “What was that?”
Mermaid Man: “I don’t know.”
Man Ray showed up, wearing a brand new armored suit! Man Ray smirked.
Man Ray: “Hello Mermaid Man…”
Mermaid Man: “Man Ray?? I should have known you had something to do with this!”
Man Ray: “I’m just lending a helping hand to the powerful Father Chax. How do you like my new super suit?”
Barnacle Boy: “We’re gonna take you down!”
Man Ray: “Really, kid?”
Mermaid Man: “Let’s do this, Barnacle Boy!”
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy began running towards Man Ray to attack him! Man Ray held his fist in the air, and then a bright blue laser shot out of the metal glove on his new super suit, and the laser shot Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, freezing them in a block of ice!
Father Chax: “We got what we needed. Let’s go!”
All the villains and cult members fled the area!
The block of ice started melting, and the two heroes stepped out of it.
Barnacle Boy: “How are we not still popsicles?”
Mermaid Man: “Before we left the Mermalair I sprayed us both with a merma-anti-freezing spray.”
Barnacle Boy: “Gosh! Good thinking!”
Mermaid Man: “Thanks, old chum.”
(Bubble transition to the Mermalair.)
Mermaid Man was looking at the Mermalair Computer.
Mermaid Man: “Oh no!”
Barnacle Boy: “What is it?”
Mermaid Man: “It says here the thing Father Chax said they’re trying to bring back… The Mega Glork… Is a demon that almost devoured Bikini Bottom in the medieval days, until one knight was able to trap the demon’s soul in some sort of… Golden knife…”
Barnacle Boy: “The knife those villains dug up at the mine… That was a golden knife!”
Mermaid Man: “This is bad! We can’t let them bring the Mega Glork back to life!”
(Later, in the afternoon.)
Man Ray, Father Chax, and some of his cult members were on the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings Downtown Bikini Bottom. On the rooftop, the cult members were powering up a big machine, which looked like a telescope but with a laser gun attached to the end of it, and a small compartment on one side of the machine.
Man Ray: “Soon, we will rule the world!”
Father Chax: “Well, not you.”
Man Ray: “What do you mean? You said if I help you, we will rule the world together!”
Father Chax: “Soon the Mega Glork will rule the world. That is, unless he decides to destroy it.”
Man Ray: “Destroy it? What use is the world if it gets destroyed?!”
Father Chax: “It sounds like you don’t believe in the ways of the Mega Glork…”
Man Ray: “What?!”
A group of the cult members gathered up right behind Man Ray, and grabbed onto his arms.
Father Chax: “Take him away from here.”
Man Ray: “Oh, heheh…”
Man Ray chuckled.
Man Ray: “I get how it is… You’re gonna regret this…” 
Father Chax: “Not likely.”
The cult members escorted Man Ray over to the edge of the roof, then threw him off the building!
Father Chax: “Now… Let’s get this party started!”
Other members of the cult were doing stuff with the machine and put the golden knife inside the compartment, then pressed a button on the machine… Firing it up!
The machine shot a huge beam of light into the sky, above Bikini Bottom! All the citizens walking on the sidewalk looked up, concerned!
Something giant started rising up into the sky, from behind a bunch of tall buildings in the horizon.
Father Chax: “It's… THE MEGA GLORK!!! HAHAHA!!!”
A big shadow covered the entirety of Bikini Bottom, as the Mega Glork rose fully into the sky, above the town, revealing itself to be… A giant version of the Dirty Bubble, so huge that it's bigger than the size of a building!
Mega Glork: “MWUHAHAHA!!!”
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy appeared, below, running on a sidewalk!
Mermaid Man: “We're too late!”
On the rooftop, Father Chax and all the cult members got on their knees.
Father Chax: “We praise you, Mega Glork! We are here to do your bidding!”
Mega Glork: “YOU WOULD MAKE A YUMMY SNACK!”
The Mega Glork flew over to them, and took a bite out of the building, and swallowed all of the cultists in one bite!
The cultists screamed: “AAAAAAAA!!!”
A mother carrying her baby was running in the middle of the street, away from where the Mega Glork is floating in the sky!
The Mega Glork went down and picked up a big boat in its mouth, and then flung the boat out of its mouth, as it then began hovering towards the mother, about to crash on top of her!
Mother: “AGHH!!!”
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy dived forward, and caught the boat in the air, saving the mother and her child!
But then, the Mega Glork flung another boat, which was about to crash on top of an elderly man crossing the street!
Mermaid Man: “NO!!!”
The two heroes were still holding the other boat in the air, and there wasn't enough time for them to save the elder!
Mermaid Man closed his eyes…
When he opened them, Man Ray stood there, holding the boat, saving the elderly man!
Mermaid Man: “Man Ray??”
The two heroes set the boat down to the ground and Man Ray did the same with the one he caught.
Man Ray was back to wearing his original villain costume.
Man Ray: “I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm gonna help you save the day.”
Mermaid Man: “How? Without that golden knife, I don't know how we're gonna stop that giant bubble demon.”
Man Ray: “I didn't tell him, but when Father Chax's minions dug up the golden knife, I found this golden fork.”
He held up a golden fork and handed it to Mermaid Man. 
Man Ray: “Maybe you can use this.”
Mermaid Man: “Okay. Thanks. But when we get back, we're still going to have you arrested for your crimes.”
Man Ray: “Don't worry. I'll be waiting.”
The Mega Glork was terrorizing the town, knocking down buildings, and laughing maniacally!
Barnacle Boy appeared, standing on a random building top, in the distance!
Barnacle Boy: “Hey, ugly!”
The Mega Glork stopped what he was doing and started floating towards Barnacle Boy.
(Quietly talking to himself) Barnacle Boy: “Yeah, come closer… You big dummy…”
(To Mermaid Man) Barnacle Boy: “NOW!”
Just then, Mermaid Man leaped off of a taller building top, above the Mega Glork, and he lodged the golden fork into the demon!
‘BOOM!’
And with that, the Mega Glork popped!
Barnacle Boy: “We did it, Mermaid Man!”
Mermaid Man: “Right, we did! Now, to get back down there to hold Man Ray still until the cops show up.”
(Bubble transition to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy back to the ground, where Man Ray was.)
Barnacle Boy: “He's gone!”
Mermaid Man: “Don't worry, Barnacle Boy. We'll get him next time.”
The scene cuts to a desert far from Bikini Bottom, where Man Ray was entering a crashed spacecraft.
The spacecraft was huge! It was very dark inside, and there were broken pipes inside it, shooting out some type of thick liquid substance, which was beginning to flood the craft. As Man Ray walked, the liquid was up to his ankles.
In front of Man Ray, frozen inside a giant glass jar… Was a creature made of kelp!
Man Ray: “Kelp Thing…”
The creature was in a deep sleep…
Man Ray put his hand on the glass jar…
Man Ray: “MWUHAHAHA!!!”
The End? 
== Trivia ==
* This is the only episode of Super Star Season 2 that is fully detached from Season 2's overarching story. 
* This episode serves as a bridge between Super Sponge Season 2 Part 1 and Season 2 Part 2. 
* There will be a sequel to this episode halfway into Season 3. 
* This episode has a reference to Chef Knox, who is a character that was created for the fanon movie SpongeBob and the Great Food Championship. However, this reference does not imply the movie is canon to the same continuity as Super Sponge. The reference just implies that there is some alternate version of Chef Knox that exists in the continuity of Super Sponge, and similar events to what happened in the movie happened in the continuity of Super Sponge (but in the Super Sponge continuity, Sandy didn't have any role in the story told in the movie, because in the Super Sponge continuity, Sandy didn't ever go to school with SpongeBob.
