In Rock Bottom…
Rock Bottomites were walking on the sidewalks. Just then, the evil wizard from Episode 2 returned, flying in the sky, on a storm cloud!
Wizard: "HAHAHAHA!!!!"
The storm cloud he stood on shot bolts of lightning at the street! The Rock Bottomites started running all over the place!
In Sandy's Treedome…
Sandy intensely looked at a computer outside her treehouse.
SpongeBob: "What is it, Sandy?"
Sandy: "That evil wizard we saw before is terrorizing the citizens of Rock Bottom!"
SpongeBob: "What would he want over there?"
Sandy: "I don't know."
SpongeBob puffed his flying pants up.
SpongeBob: "I'll get to the Bottom of it… HAHAHAHA-"
Sandy: "This is serious, SpongeBob!"
SpongeBob: "Sorry."
Bubble transition…
Elsewhere, the evil wizard in the sky cornered a team of construction workers against a tall wooden wall on a Rock Bottom construction site!
Construction workers: "AAAGGHH!!!!"
SpongeBob appeared in the sky and landed on the ground in front of the construction workers, pounding his yellow fist on the ground.
SpongeBob: "Flea the area, citizens. This could get intense."
The wizard: "YOU again?!"
The wizard threw a basketball made of fire at SpongeBob that appeared out of his hand, and it caused a big cloud of smoke to appear where SpongeBob was! Out of the smoke, rose SpongeBob, who flew quickly towards the wizard.
SpongeBob: "Who are you?"
The wizard: "Just an old friend of Sandy!"
The wizard shot a big bolt of lightning towards SpongeBob! SpongeBob dodged it, in the air!
SpongeBob: "You missed me!"
The wizard: "I wasn't aiming for you."
SpongeBob turned around and in the distance, a tall woman and two muscular men were standing at the top of a large unfinished house structure. In front of them was a little girl holding a Mermaid Man action figure. The bolt of lightning struck the bottom of the structure, and the building started to tilt over, as the people on it screamed! The little girl dropped her toy and ran towards it to try to catch it, but it slid off the edge of the structure!
SpongeBob: "NOOOO!!!!!"
The three adults and the little girl slid off the tilting structure, falling into a large hole in the ground! SpongeBob flew into the hole, following them! Then, the building structure completely collapsed over the hole, trapping them all below the ground!
The scene cuts to SpongeBob and the three adults waking up in a dark underground coal mine.
Adult woman: "Where are we?"
SpongeBob: "I think we're underground."
Adult man: "Who are you?"
SpongeBob: "I'm Super Sponge. I'm here to rescue you."
The woman: "My name's August."
SpongeBob saw a Mermaid Man toy on the ground, and picked it up.
SpongeBob: "What's this?"
Adult man: "That's my daughter's favorite toy. Oh Neptune, we need to find her. My name's Gabe. This is my husband, Rob."
Rob: "Nice to meet you."
"Okay," said SpongeBob, starting to walk.
SpongeBob: "Let's find a way out of here."
Bubble transition to Sandy's Treedome…
Sandy speaking into a walkie talkie: "SpongeBob? Can you hear me? Hello?"
Only a muffled noise was coming through.
Sandy thought to herself: "Something's up. I gotta get over there."
Bubble transition to SpongeBob, Rob, Gabe, and August walking in the coal mine on an uphill, rocky slope.
Rob: "Look! There's light!"
An orange light at the top started moving down the slope. As it got closer, it became visible that a giant amount of bright liquid was rushing towards them!
August: "It's lava!"
SpongeBob: "All of you, grab on!"
The three of them grabbed onto SpongeBob's back, and SpongeBob flew into the sky, over the lava! He lowered them and himself to a big, flat rock surface, at the top of the slope. In front of them, in the distance, was the little girl sitting on the top end of a construction crane, that was unsteady, on top of a large mountain pile of a bunch of small rocks! She was really high up, and scared!
Rob: "There's our daughter!"
SpongeBob: "I'll get her!"
Suddenly, three tall, muscular rock creatures appeared in front of SpongeBob and the others!
SpongeBob: "I'll take these guys out first."
SpongeBob ran up to one of them with his hand in the air!
SpongeBob: "HIYA!"
The rock creature punched SpongeBob in the face, then picked him up and squeezed him into the shape of a basketball and started dribbling him.
SpongeBob: "I can't defeat them by myself!"
Gabe: "We got you, Super Sponge!"
Gabe, August, and Rob appeared, wearing iron armor, and holding pickaxes, as a weapon. They ran towards the rock creatures and started fighting them!
SpongeBob lifted off, and landed on the tilted construction crane, and it started shaking even more! He reached for the child.
SpongeBob: "Quick! Grab my hand!"
She tensed her shoulders and shook her head no.
SpongeBob: "Come on! I'm here to rescue you!"
He looked at her, and he saw fear in her eyes.
SpongeBob: "Here."
SpongeBob took the Mermaid Man toy out of his pocket and held it out for her.
SpongeBob: "This'll protect you."
The kid was hesitant at first, but grabbed the toy, and allowed SpongeBob to put his arms around her, and he jumped off the construction crane, and flew away from it, just as it went crashing down to the bottom of the deep underground mines!
The three adults knocked all the rock creatures to the ground. SpongeBob lowered himself and the little girl to Rob and Gabe.
Child: "Daddies!"
She ran up to them, and they both hugged her. She smiled back at Super Sponge.
Rob: "Thank you for rescuing our daughter."
August: "Now, how will we get out of here?"
A floating drill tank piloted by Sandy crashed down, through the ground above them, into the mine!
Sandy: "Get in!"
Bubble transition to them all getting out of the drill tank, above ground, in Rock Bottom. SpongeBob looked up at the sky.
SpongeBob: "Where's the wizard?"
Sandy: "I don't know…"
The evil wizard sat on a tall building in the Bikini Bottom night sky, squeezing his fist.
The wizard: "Next time, I'll get my hands on it."
A purple cloud appeared, then he was gone.
