The Nicktoons Halloween Hijack (2016)

Author's note: Hey there! You guys really loved the first story I made here, so I tried making another. This one isn't really the best, but I hope you enjoy reading anyways. Also, this is not an hate letter to anyone from Nick or anything offensive, so please don't take it the wrong way. This is also somewhat based on a few dreams I had as well.
Halloween. The yearly, one-day holiday almost everyone celebrates. 
The day where people dress up in costumes to get candy, make their homes spookier for visitors, spend time with family or friends, and even sit at home watching Halloween broadcasts.
Nickelodeon is well known for having holiday themed broadcasts on their channels every year, with each one being more different than the other. There would be reruns of old shows, new episodes of latest shows, or even something that is completely different. Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, it didn't matter how it went since they were all the same.
Although, a severe hijacking happened on Halloween of 2016, when Nicktoons was on it's final day of the "Creepin' Weekends" event.
Some of the people who seen it nicknamed it as "The Fiendish Halloween Hijack", or "Really Creepy SpongeBob Halloween Hack" on forum pages, but others were not sure what it meant or who hijacked the channel, as there was not much information about it after it happened.
After the infamous modern "Alvin" cartoon was done airing for the night, one last airing of SpongeBob came on before the event ended. The intro played like normal with no problems, but at the last moment, where instead of SpongeBob playing his nose like a flute, nobody was there, and there was no "created by" text.
It was stuck like this for a few seconds before the screen then cut to black.
Instead of "Ghoul Fools" and the other episodes playing like they are supposed to, the episode "Jellyfish Hunter" started playing. It was assumed that this was airing instead just to soothe anyone who was staying up late being tired of all the scaring for one day. 
But this wasn't the case.
The title card & opening credits for the episode were blank and slightly desaturated, the music that was playing was slightly slowed down as well.
Other than that, the episode played like normal, but later on when it went to the scene at the Krusty Krab, where SpongeBob had his Jelly-Filled Krabby Patty and such, there were audio and visual glitches all over the place, along with stuttering.
There was later then a scrolling message on the screen, saying that Nicktoons was experiencing some technical difficulties and that regular broadcasting would go back to normal soon. The glitching of audio and visuals, along with the scrolling message, went away after Mr. Krabs yelled "MOOORE!" as it then went to SpongeBob talking to himself saying that there's no more Jellyfish.
And when the broadcast seemed okay for now, it got much worse.
When the Blue Jellyfish was supposed to appear from behind the rock as SpongeBob walked away, there were no appearances of it anywhere. And at the part when SpongeBob heard buzzing behind him, the screen froze for a short amount of time with more stuttering. 
The same thing happened again when SpongeBob started to continue walking. There were supposed to be two fish behind an big rock with one saying that they told the other SpongeBob were onto them. Nothing was there either, just the rock.
As SpongeBob started to walk faster, audible footsteps were able to be heard as he was walking. And when he started sprinting, the footsteps got faster. And when he started fully running straight to his house, the footsteps were louder and even faster, but it stops as soon as he goes inside.
SpongeBob then goes on saying about how he must be working too hard, and then he picks up the phone when it starts ringing. Instead of the blue jellyfish's heavy breathing, there was someone else on the other side of the phone saying the following quote.
"You are the next one in line."
After the call ends, SpongeBob goes on about how he guesses Gary forgot to pay the electric bill, later then saying his "Hey, who's there?" line from Rock Bottom instead of what he usually says. Sounds were coming from what was supposed to be the kitchen in the episode, but instead, there was a wooden door that led to a very dark room.
SpongeBob then tries seeing if there's anyone inside of the room, by saying "Hello?" and looking around to see who was in there, unfortunately it was too dark to see anyone. He then found a light switch and turned it on as more glitches occur.
What he saw left him with a traumatized look on his face as he gasps.
There were close-up shots of other Nicktoons characters' decapitated heads & damaged bodies put on the wooden walls of the room. They progressed from having the least amount of damage to being progressively more gruesome as the room progressed. From eyes being empty, to faces being completely torn. From bodies being bruised, to completely limbless.
SpongeBob screamed in absolute fear. He then asked to himself what this horrible place was, and who was responsible for this horror. As he kept walking, he looked at all of the cruel fates each one of the characters had, saying that this wasn't a dream, and that it was a nightmare. He even saw his friends in one big pile together, Gary included.
"No!", SpongeBob exclaimed looking at all of his friends and his snail in the pile.
"What happened to you? What happened to all of you?! Who could've done this horrible thing to my friends and my pet snail?!"
Footsteps are then heard as SpongeBob looks over. A green figure appears in the dark hallway, getting closer to him. The figure then took one more step in, revealing who they truly were.
It was none other than Vendetta herself, in the flesh.
Her left eye was completely torn apart as it was oozing and dripping all over the place. Her hands and arms were covered in the same liquid that her torn eye had. She was looking directly at SpongeBob before then saying the following in her usual mean tone.
"Well, if it isn't the annoying cleaning tool himself."
SpongeBob then sniffed and rubbed his eyes as he looked at her. He asked the following as he got up from the ground.
"...Hey, What the barnacles is going on here, and who are you?"
Vendetta crosses her arms as she responds with:
"I am who they call Vendetta. You should know that, but of course, your lack of knowledge curses you." 
Spongebob replied with: 
"...Huh? Wh-" 
"And as for what is happening? You have stumbled upon purgatory. Every one of these innocent souls have had their lives taken away from them, because their broadcasts aren't seen as "good enough" anymore for the program. And in the end, all they choose is YOU, and your repeated nonsense."
As she said that, she points at SpongeBob, leaving him surprised but also confused.
SpongeBob then replies with:
"...Me, why me?"
Vendetta says:
"Because everyone out there "loooves" you the most. Meanwhile, the rest of us are shut away and never seen again. We rot and wait for the day we come back, but because of your major success, we never see the light of day ever again. Not even that stupid blue girl had a chance for one last breath."
SpongeBob then feels bad and tries to apologize.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen at all, I didn't know this would happe-"
Vendetta then growled as she finally snapped, letting out all her rage.
"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY, YOU OBNOXIOUS, LOATHSOME CREATURE! If I am going to die here, then YOU ARE COMING ALONG WITH ME-"
As she said the following, the screen then had major glitching, and froze at the frame of her getting up to SpongeBob's face yelling.
The screen then cuts to black as sounds of struggling & fighting are heard. Several images flash on screen for a split second, showing different scenes of Vendetta fighting SpongeBob as he's trying to avoid her.
Vendetta then had both hands around what seems to be SpongeBob's neck, strangling him. She started gripping tighter and tighter as SpongeBob was trying to make her let go even though he couldn't. She progressively went from being angry to laughing psychotically. And then, a violent bone-breaking noise is heard, meaning that Spongebob's neck was broken, as the scene of SpongeBob being strangled turns into a solid black silhouette, while another freeze occurs.
The screen then went black once more, it stayed like this for a few more seconds, before then cutting to another scrolling message like before, but instead of it saying that there was technical difficulties, there was the following as distorted music started playing with different gruesome scenes being shown:
"Our days of animated life get shorter as the light shining on us starts to drift away. We try our hardest to please the audience, but our talents are not good enough for the broadcasters anymore. Open your eyes and realize the dark truth. See what awaits with the third eye. Your broadcasts will no longer be the same as time moves forward. It's time to awaken yourself. Death and life will forever be imbalanced."
One last image of Vendetta then came on the screen shortly after, she had an insane grin on her face as she was staring at the camera with her hand in view.
There was a message with this image that was on the screen before the channel was shut down until further notice. The message was written in messy green writing, with it saying these words:
"The death of television draws near."
