(Episode begins with a shot of The Cult in the destroyed lodge)
Squidward: okay, boys, if we're gonna reform the cult we're gonna have to rebuild the Lodge.
Security: but that'll take forever!
Crayons: actually, i have a device that'll speed up the process! (Speech begins slowing down) Except it was destroyed when the lodge got destroyed…
Squidward: well, i guess we'll have to do it by hand. This will be a long and grueling process, so get to it!
(Fade to the center of Downtown Bikini Bottom. A bunch of fish are working together to rebuild the town)
Fish: that cult sure did make a big mess of the place.
Fish 2: it'll take ages to rebuild this dump!
(The Feathered Friends walk in carrying construction equipment)
Spongebob: here's some more equipment for you.
Fish: oh, thanks, Feathered Friends.
Plankton: I'm just saying construction would go a whole lot faster if I were in charge!
Mr Krabs: oh, shut up, Sheldon.
Patrick: when will the town be rebuildered?
Fish 1: the cult did lots of damage to this town, so it will probably take months.
Plankton: y'knooooow, if I were in charrrrrrrrge… (he gets stepped on by another fish carrying girders and screams
Fish 3: oops, sorry! (Scrapes Plankton off)
Plankton: ow.
Fish 1: (short sigh) we'd better get started. No lunch breaks, either!
(Everyone else sighs)
(Camera pans downwards to a hidden underground bunker. After a few seconds, Man Ray gets warped in. He takes a few steps forwards and Dirty Bubble and the Atomic Flounder  warp in)
Man Ray: glad to see you all here.
Dirty Bubble: mm, you know id never mise one of our secret meeting conferences!
Atomic Flounder: it's hard to pretend to be retired! (Removes old man disguise) it gets hot in that thing.
Man Ray: Gentlemen, as you all know, the Cult recently has been totally destroyed.
Dirty Bubble: mm, not destroyed, more like-
Man Ray: (slams fist on table) MANRAY DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES!
Dirty Bubble: okay, sorry! Geez, mmm.
Man Ray: civilization has slowly been rebuilding itself since The Cult was (gives Dirty Bubble the evil eye) DESTROYED!
(Dirty Bubble shakes in fear)
Atomic Flounder: so what of it?
Man Ray: im glad you asked, Flounder. You see, since the cult was destroyed, that means we can come out of hiding-
Dirty Bubble: ...and attack the city?
Man Ray: (slams fist on table) DO NOT INTERRUPT ME! (pops Bubble on accident)
Atomic Flounder: what have you done?!
Man Ray: oh, relax. (Takes Dirty Bubble soap out and blows a new Dirty Bubble)
Dirty Bubble: that really hurts, you know, mmm.
Atomic Flounder: so we're gonna attack the town and take over ourselves?
Man Ray: precisely, flounder.
Dirty Bubble: why didn't you-
(Man Ray slams his fist on the table again, making it break into two pieces)
Atomic Flounder: (puts his palm on his face and shakes his head) not again, man ray, we just got that fixed!
Man Ray: So anyway, we are going to attack the town and take over ourselves!
Atomic Flounder: say, what happened to all the other villains, anyway?
Man Ray: they all got killed brutally. Anyways, tomorrow, at exactly noon, we ATTACK!
(Fade to Bikini Bottom still in the process of being rebuilt. Text reading "TOMORROW, 11:55 AM" is displayed at the bottom)
Spongebob: i didn't think this would take so much work.
Plankton: welllllll…
Krabs: shut up, Sheldon.
Plankton: what? I'm just sayin'. (Whistles to himself)
Krabs: what time is it? (looks at watch) oh, it's 11:55! Almost time for lunch break!
Fish 1: but you dont have lunch breaks, remember?
Krabs: oh, right.
Patrick: I'm gonna die of hunger!
Fish 1: you'll live.
Patrick: no i won't! (Faints)
Krabs: (his watch beeps) oh! It's 12 AM!
(An evil laugh is heard. Everyone looks in the sky with worried expressions on their face as they see a shadow in the sky)
Krabs: is that another crashed plane?
(Cut to a shot of a field full of crashed planes)
(Cut back)
(the shadow crashes onto the ground, causing everyone to fly backwards)
Patrick: (waking up) morning already?
Krabs: ow! What the hell was that?
(The shadow begins laughing and it is revealed to be Man Ray)
Everyone except Patrick: MAN RAY?!
Patrick: what? (Notices Man Ray, screams)
Man Ray: that's right, FOOLS! and guess who else? (Grabs a bubble band and blows a new Dirty Bubble)
Dirty Bubble: mmmm, I'm back!
(The Atomic Flounder drops from the sky also and falls on his face)
Man Ray: way to ruin our entrance!
SpongeBob: Atomic Flounder? But he retired!
Atomic Flounder: That was all a ploy! Haha- (his back snaps) ACH! (Mumbling) I'm too old for this crap.
SpongeBob: what do you guys want, and why are you here?!
Man Ray: since that cult was defeated, we-
Patrick: actually, it wasn't defeated, it's more like they- (screams as he gets fried by Man Ray's disintegrating gun) 
Man Ray: as i was saying, since that cult was destroyed, we had the perfect opportunity to come back and take over! Boys, we've got destroying to do!
(The villains all start destroying buildings and killing fish as everyone else runs away in fear)
(Cut to the Feathered Friends behind a conveniently-shaped rock)
SpongeBob: this is horrible! What are we gonna do?
Plankton: I say we accept death.
Spongebob: I say we think of a plan!
Patrick: couldn't we recruit Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy?
Plankton: watch him forget the plan when i tell him about how good that plan is.
Patrick: forget what? Im just saying we need to recruit Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
Plankton: maybe you're not a total imbecile after all. Now where are mermaid man and barnacle boy?
Patrick: who?
(Cut to Plankton's unamused face)
(Fade to them sneaking across town while Man Ray can be seen destroying buildings)
SpongeBob: if I'm not mistaken, Shady Shoals is somewhere around here.
Man Ray: who said that!
SpongeBob: (whispering) don't, move, an, INCH!
Man Ray: (pointing towards them) HA! I FOUND YOU! THOUGHT YOU COULD SNEAK BY ME, DID YOU?! WELL, IT'S TIME TO-
Killer Krab: (runs in) let's do this! Im ready to cause mayhem and destruction!
Man Ray: aren't you that killer krab guy?
Killer Krab: yeah, i am! And as a matter of fact (speech turns into a lot of long "blahs")
SpongeBob: (while Killer Krab is rambling) break for it!
(They all run off)
Man Ray: (interrupting) i dont have time for this! I have to kill some- (notices they're gone) SON OF A (gets cut off when the shot cuts)
(cut to them in Shady Shoals)
SpongeBob: we gotta find the mermalair!
Patrick: it's under the couch like it always is.
SpongeBob: i knew that. Let's go!
(The couch moves to reveal the mermalair entrance. They all jump in)
(Cut to the mermalair. Everyone falls on top of eachother and Patrick squishes them all)
Patrick: thank neptune my fall was broken by this soft pillow. (Notices he squished his friends) oh. (Stands up and they become unsquished) 
Krabs: ow.
(Cut to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy watching their giant TV bored)
Barnacle Boy: (hears them making sounds) did you hear that?
Mermaid Man: you know i can't hear!
Barnacle Boy: I could've sworn i heard a noise.
SpongeBob: (offscreen) Mermaid Man? Barnacle Boy?
Barnacle Boy: oh no. It's that sponge kid.
Mermaid Man: at least he didn't bring his friend.
Patrick: (offscreen) Mermaid boy! Barnacle man!
Mermaid Man: quick! Through the fire escape route!
(The Feathered Friends find them as they get up and are about to run)
Mermaid Man: Barnacles.
SpongeBob: MERMAID MAN! BARNACLE BOY! MAN RAY IS ATTACKING THE CITY!!!!
Mermaid Man: Man Ray?! I thought all villains were killed during the takeover of the sea!
SpongeBob: well Man Ray, Dirty Bubble and Atomic Flounder somehow survived.
Mermaid Man: we're old, Kid. We can't fight villains like we used to, and we don't have long for this world.
Spongebob: but the town is counting on you! Bikini Bottom will be destroyed and everyone will be killed if you don't help!
Barnacle Boy: Well, Mermaid Man, what say we some out of retirement to save the city one last time before we go?
Mermaid Man: let's stop some baddies!
(MM&BB transition to the evildoers still destroying the city, when Mermaid Man walks into the scene)
Mermaid Man: MAN RAY!
Man Ray: i know that voice from anywhere! (Turns around, sees Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, making him scream and drop his weapon)
Dirty Bubble: what's the matter, man- (notices the heros) HOLY (dolphin chirp)
Barnacle Boy: stop destroying the town, or you'll have to pay!
Man Ray: everybody! Charge!!!!
(They run towards eachother. Mermaid Man punches Man Ray, Barnacle Boy pops the Bubble and Atomic Flounder is all who remains)
Mermaid Man: when will you learn evil never wins.
Atomic Flounder: HALT!
Barnacle Boy: was that who i think it was?
Atomic Flounder: yes! (Flies in)
Barnacle Boy: I thought you retired!
Atomic Flounder: you fell for my clever ruse! Now prepare to DIE!
(they fight, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy beat Flounder. Everyone cheers for them)
SpongeBob: you saved the town!
Krabs: 3 cheers for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy!
(They all cheer)
Fish 1: now we can start working on undoing all their destruction!
(Everyone looks at him and groans)
(Fade to night, where the feathered friends are all going back to the Krusty Krab)
Krabs: uh, guys?
Spongebob: yes, Krabs?
Krabs: did i ever tell you about… what happened last night?
Spongebob: no, what happened?
Krabs: well, last night, Satan started haunting my dreams and giving me some weird vision of The Cult being destroyed or whatever, and he kept trying to ask me if i remembered any of it, which i didn't. I have been thinking about this for days.
Plankton: it's probably nothing.
Krabs: but-
SpongeBob: get some rest, Krabs. You've had a long day.
(They all go to bed. Cut to Krabs in bed and a dark red fog fills the room around him as an evil laugh is heard. Krabs begins holding his pillow tight as the episode fades to black)
