== Transcript ==
(The first shot shows an outside view of New Kelp City)
(Parts of the city are in flames and tanks can be seen about to come in)
(The shot cuts to tanks from each side driving towards each other)
(New Kelp City is the first to fire their projectiles)
(Right away the rebels shoot back)
(It can be seen that New Kelp City is severely outnumbered in tanks)
(The rebels keep pushing the frontline farther and farther)
(Eventually most of New Kelp City’s tanks are destroyed and the rebel tanks drive down the streets)
(The shot cuts to New Kelpian soldiers seen with artillery)
(The soldiers shoot a projectile at a plane that is flying over)
(The projectile strikes the plane which comes crashing down)
(The scene cuts to Kelpian soldiers hiding behind a building watching the tanks roll through)
New Kelpian Soldier 3: Looks like the one in that tank is an eel.
New Kelpian Soldier 4: Actually, it looks like they’re all eels!
New Kelpian Soldier 3: How come it’s only eels fighting in the rebellion? That’s a bit strange.
(The scene cuts to Dustin Slider in his cave watching TV)
New Kelpian News Reporter: It’s a shame that our beautiful home, New Kelp City, is being destroyed and taken over.
Dustin: Beautiful? You call that dump beautiful?
New Kelpian News Reporter: Luckily, our good friends in Bikini Bottom are coming to help us.
Dustin: What?! They have no reasoning to be in this! (Dustin pulls out a walkie-talkie) Commander Slider to Gillis, do you read?
Gillis: (Driving a tank on the other end of the line) I hear ya.
Dustin: Start making your way to the north where you’ll come in and attack. From there you’ll try to meet up with the eastern front. Make sure the rest of them follow you.
Gillis: Roger.
(Scene cuts to Squidward taking an order at the Krusty Krab.
Incidental 31: I’ll take one Krabby Patty and a Diet Dr. Kelp.
Squidward: SpongeBob, one Krabby Patty and a Diet Dr. Kelp. (SpongeBob doesn’t respond) Are you ok? Normally you would scream back something idiotic like, ‘cOmIn’ RiGhT uP’.
SpongeBob: Yeah, I’m ok, Squidward. I just feel terrible for the people in New Kelp City who don’t have the comfort of eating the best burger in the whole wide sea right now.
(A rumbling noise can be heard)
SpongeBob: What’s that sound? (He looks out the window and sees tanks, fish armed with weapons, and more) (Larry the lobster can be seen armed) Even Larry is going? I hope we defeat those rebels quickly so this doesn’t go on for much longer.
(The scene cuts to the inside of a New Kelpian military base)
(There are many fish loading up equipment)
Fin: Attention everyone! As I suspected, Mayor Reginald was killed by the bombing of city hall. We need someone to take his place, so that we can function our military more properly.
New Kelpian Soldier 5: I think you should be our new commander, Lieutenant Fin. Say ‘I’ if you agree.
All: I.
Fin: Well, looks like I’m our new leader. Unfortunately, within these first few hours we’ve already been dented in the east. I need some of you to go secure the border, so that they can’t get in anywhere else. 
(The scene cuts to Bikini Bottom’s troops entering into New Kelp City)
Larry: Listen up, here’s the plan that Mayor Davis gave us. We’ll enter through the south of New Kelp City, right here, where so far no fighting has taken place. We’ll move our way through the city and meet with the rebel's front in the east. From there, us and New Kelpian forces will work together to encircle the rebels.
(Larry’s walkie talkie goes off so he picks it up)
Mayor Davis: (On the other end of the line) I have just received the news that the rebels have opened up a new front line in the north. You will need to split up your forces, one to the east and the other to the north.
Larry: Ok, I’ll let them know. (Larry puts the walkie talkie back in his pocket) Change of plans! The rebels have opened a new front in the north. We will have to split into two groups to combat both fronts.
(A wide shot shows the army splitting into two groups, one starts going north and the other starts to go east)
(The scene cuts to New Kelpian forces arriving in the north)
(These forces are distracted by the rebels coming into the city and don’t notice the cannons set up on a hill)
(Many New Kelpian soldiers are shot down by the cannonballs)
New Kelpian Soldier 1: We’re getting destroyed out here! I think we should retreat until we meet with Bikini Bottom’s forces. Then we will outnumber the rebels.
New Kelpian Soldier 6: Are you sure about that, if we retreat then they’ll only get more land.
New Kelpian Soldier 1: They will just kill more of our men if we stay so we should just play it safe and retreat before it gets ugly. Then we’ll have many more men and more artillery. (Yelling) Hey everyone! Retreat to the south!
New Kelpian Soldier 7: Anyone know what’s up with them being eels? Just look at them. Not a single other creature.
New Kelpian Soldier 1: That could only mean one thing: they're trying to install a fascist eel only government!
(A time card comes on screen saying “1 hour later”)
New Kelpian Soldier 6: I can see the Bikini Bottomites!
(The two armies meet up to form one)
Bottomite Soldier 1: We could try an encirclement.
New Kelpian Soldier 1: That would take too long and they’d catch on. This might sound crazy but I think that we should just rush in like an angry mob. It seems that we have more men than them, so this should work.
Bottomite Soldier 2: Hold on second, it looks like they're splitting up their forces!
New Kelpian Soldier 1: Hmm, probably in an attempt to gain control of all parts of the city quicker.
Bottomite Soldier 2: If we do the same, then we can still defeat them.
(A time card comes on screen saying “Another hour later”)
Bottomite Soldier 3: It looks like lots of more troops are coming!
Bottomite Soldier 2: This ain’t good.
(The rebels start rushing up to the Bikini Bottomite forces)
(Gunfire goes off as both sides start to fight)
(A different shot is shown of the Bikini Bottomites retreating)
(The scene cuts to show a military bunker)
(Inside are New Kelpian and Bottomite soldiers)
New Kelpian Soldier 6: What even happened there? We were ready to fight and most of their army just ran away.
Bottomite Soldier 2: On our front more troops came and we faced a heavy defeat.
New Kelpian Soldier 2: They must’ve used the defeat in detail strategy. They split their army into smaller armies and baited us into following their move. Then, they moved most of their troops back into one army that was larger than ours.
New Kelpian Soldier 1: But now look at the bigger picture. The rebels now control the east and north. I think their two fronts might’ve met up which makes them even more powerful. We’ve lost lots of men and territory. There’s not much more we can do.
(The camera pans out to show the outside of the bunker)
(The episode ends)
