(In a warehouse.)
Arsenal: "You're Ezra Rhett?"
A blue fish in a hoodie walked up and shook his hand. "Yup."
Arsenal: "It's good to finally meet you…"
(Flashback starts.)
Ezra was at a playground with his 10 year old daughter. They were running around, playing. Then, Ezra's wife used a camera to take a picture of him pushing his daughter on a swing, as they were all smiling and laughing.
The scene cuts to the three of them happily walking back home. Just then, their daughter fell to the ground!
Ezra: "LYLA!"
The scene cuts to Ezra and his wife in a hospital room, where their daughter is sleeping on a bed.
Doctor: "I'm sorry. But unless we receive more money, we won't be able to treat your daughter's blood condition that's killing her."
(End of flashback.)
Ezra stood there, holding the picture of his daughter, looking at it.
Arsenal: "Are you ready?"
Arsenal handed Ezra a dark robber mask, which Ezra put over his head.
Ezra: "Yes."
(Super Sponge intro is played.)
(Daytime.)
SpongeBob was at the Krusty Krab, cooking Krabby Patties in the kitchen.
The Swordfish entered the dining area. Everyone rushed over to him and he started giving them all autographs.
Swordfish: "And then I looked at him in the eyes, and I was like "I'm gonna whip your tail fin"."
SpongeBob watched through the kitchen window, grinding his teeth. A police officer was heard speaking through the other end of a walkie talkie in the kitchen.
Officer: "We have a robbery at the Bikini Bottom Bank."
SpongeBob's pants inflated!
(Moments later.)
Super Sponge and Patrick were flying fast in the sky.
Super Sponge: "This is our chance, Patrick, to prove we're still the heroes of Bikini Bottom, and not that new guy who took all the credit for us beating The Operator."
The scene cuts to Ezra taking bags of money out of a big vault inside the back end of the bank, where no one’s allowed.
Ezra: “This is easier than I thought it would be.”
Super Sponge and Patrick appeared, floating behind him.
Super Sponge: “Excuse me mister, but I don’t think that money is yours.”
Ezra: “It is now!”
Ezra threw one of the bags of money at Super Sponge! Patrick dived to help Super Sponge dodge the attack! Ezra then ran out of the building through a side door!
Ezra: “HAHAHA!”
Super Sponge and Patrick followed him outside, as Ezra hopped on a motorcycle, and began driving it at the max speed! He was going on a highway, and driving in between tons of boats on the road to pass them!
He looked back. Super Sponge and Patrick were still right behind him! He did a trick on the motorcycle, sending him and the bike high in the sky, over a large truck! Then, back down to a different street! He lost the heroes at first. But then, he looked back again, and they were catching up to him! As he had his eyes behind the motorcycle, it went off a bridge, and he started falling through the sky!
Ezra: “AAAGH!!!”
Super Sponge grabbed his arm, and continued flying, holding onto Ezra! Ezra sighed in defeat.
‘A few days later…’
(In a jail cell.)
Ezra was sulking.
Just then, the bars opened, and Arsenal showed up, standing in front of Ezra.
Ezra: “I’m so sorry for not getting you the money! I swear I almost had it, but then-”
Arsenal: “Relax.”
Arsenal tossed a large gold colored laser gun to him.
Arsenal: “Here’s your chance to make up for it.”
(Later that night.)
The Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank was closed, and all the lights were off. Ezra was inside, stealing money. 
Super Sponge and Patrick appeared!
Super Sponge: “Really?! You again? We’re gonna take you down!”
Patrick: “Yeah! Take you down! Or up, or something...”
Ezra chuckled, then held up the golden laser gun, and pulled the trigger. Suddenly, a large blast of pure fire came rushing out of the gun, in a straight line, towards the heroes! They both jumped to the side!
Super Sponge: “Fire underwater? That’s impossible!”
Ezra: “Nothing’s impossible when you’ve got suppliers like mine!”
Ezra shot another blast of fire at them, which they dodged!
Super Sponge: “And who are your suppliers?”
Ezra: “Er, I can’t tell you. I signed an NDA.”
Ezra kept shooting blasts of fire at Super Sponge and Patrick, as they flew around the room, in circles!
Part of the ceiling caught on fire, causing a wooden chunk of the ceiling to get detached and it fell right on top of Ezra, sending him to the ground, as he dropped the gun!
Police boats and firetrucks showed up at the building. Super Sponge and Patrick walked Ezra out, to a police lady, who cuffed his hands.
Officer: "Ezra Rhett… Escaped from prison, and now on his way back... Thanks, Super Sponge."
Super Sponge: “You’re welcome, officer. Do you know how he escaped?”
Officer: “No, sir. Our systems went dark, then he was gone.”
Super Sponge: “Something fishy is going on here…”
(A few days later.)
The scene cuts to a dimly lit room, where Ezra has been strapped down to a chair. Arsenal stood, on the other side of the room, behind a machine with a ton of buttons.
Arsenal: “Are you ready, Ezra?”
Ezra: “Yes… Whatever it takes.”
Arsenal: “Good.”
Arsenal pulled a lever on the machine, as a large mechanical arm on the ceiling stretched over to Ezra, and poked a tube into his skin, like a needle.
Arsenal: “3…”
Arsenal pushed a button as the tube began shooting large amounts of pure electricity into Ezra’s body!
(Screaming) Ezra: “AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!”
Arsenal: “2…”
Arsenal pressed another button, ramping up the amount of energy being shot through the tube, as the machines around Ezra started catching on fire!
Ezra: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Arsenal: “1…”
Arsenal pressed a button, then on the side of the room Ezra is on, there was a huge explosion!
(Morning, the next day.)
A six year old girl was alone, on the 3rd floor of a big apartment building, Downtown Bikini Bottom. All the walls in the room were on fire! She was surrounded by flames!
Six year old: “AAAAAAAAAA!!!”
Her scream could be heard from outside. The entire building was on fire! There was a large crowd of Bikini Bottomites in the street. Perch Perkins was there too, holding a comb, in front of a camera.
Perch Perkins: “Does my hair look good now? ..We’re on? OH, UH… We are live at the scene of the big house fire. We are getting reports that there is still someone in there! Who will save the day?”
Super Sponge and Patrick appeared flying high above, into a window on the 2nd floor of the building! The crowd of people cheered!
Inside the building, Super Sponge and Patrick landed side by side, in a living room, looking around. The room was full of smoke.
Super Sponge: “Which way, Patrick?”
Patrick: “Um… Maybe this way.”
Patrick started moving one direction, towards a hallway. Then a big piece of the wooden roof collapsed in front of him!
Patrick: “Uh, maybe not…”
Super Sponge noticed a stairway on the other side of the room, and heard the screams of the little girl!
Super Sponge: “Up here, Patrick!”
The steps were on fire, so Super Sponge and Patrick used their inflatable pants to fly above them, onto the third floor of the building!
The little girl was sitting under a kitchen table, across the room from them!
Girl: “AAAAAA!”
Super Sponge: “Hold on!”
Super Sponge leaped towards her, holding his hand out for her to grab! But then, because of the fire, the ceiling above them completely collapsed!
A shot of outside the building is shown again, as the fire got so bad that the entire building exploded!
Dust filled the sky. There was silence…
And then, Patrick Star appeared in the sky, flying out of all the dust, holding onto Super Sponge, who was holding onto the little girl!
They lowered down to the ground, in a field near where the building stood, and the little girl ran off into the arms of her father.
Father: "Thanks, Super Sponge, for saving my daughter. I really owe you one."
Distant, echoey sinister voice: "ME TOO…"
Suddenly, a giant fist made of fire appeared and swung at Super Sponge! It sent him all the way up in the air, and onto a building top in the distance!
Super Sponge landed on his face and got up, just as a tall muscular humanoid hot dog-looking figure landed on his feet, in front of Super Sponge! He had big sharp teeth, bright yellow eyes, and was twice the height of Super Sponge!
Super Sponge: "Ezra?!"
Figure: "Ezra is gone. Call me Hot-Dog now! And you're gonna wish you never tried to stop me from helping Lyla!"
(Confused) Super Sponge: "Lyla?"
Hot-Dog shot a big ball of fire out his palms, at Super Sponge!
Super Sponge: “WOAH!”
Super Sponge just barely jumped aside on time! Hot-Dog continued shooting fire balls at him!
Patrick: "Leave my buddy alone!"
Patrick appeared, flying at the scene! He held out a bubble wand and started sending bubbles at Hot-Dog’s face!
Hot-Dog covered his eyes, then shot a ball of fire at Patrick! Super Sponge dived towards Patrick to save him! When they got up from their knees, Hot-Dog was way off in the distance, flying in the sky, on top of a bunch of fire, towards a huge gold colored building in Downtown Bikini Bottom!
Patrick: “He’s headed towards the Hall of Heroes!”
Super Sponge: “Quick, Pat! We gotta stop him from destroying the place!”
The scene cuts to Super Sponge and Patrick entering the Hall of Heroes, in a large room that has huge golden statues of many heroes, including Mermaid Man.
(In awe) Super Sponge: “Woah, Patrick! I never thought I’d actually get to see these statues in person.”
Hot-Dog: “And it’s the last thing you’ll ever see!”
Hot-Dog appeared, standing on the very top of the Mermaid Man statue! He shot a big ball of fire towards Super Sponge and Patrick!
It would’ve hit them because they were caught off guard, but suddenly a teenager wearing a green costume appeared, swinging on a rope he latched onto the ceiling, as he picked Super Sponge and Patrick up off of the floor!
He set them down, in a different room.
Super Sponge took out a superhero comic book, showing it to Patrick.
Super Sponge: “OMG! It’s Matthew Herring, original member of the I.J.L.S.A., the Green Harpoon!”
Green Harpoon: "Actually that was my Grandpa. My name's David. I'm the new Green Harpoon."
Super Sponge: “I’m Super Sponge, this is Patrick. We need to stop Hot-Dog!”
Green Harpoon: “Hot-Dog?”
Super Sponge: “That bad guy in this building! He’s made of fire!”
Green Harpoon: “Made of fire, you say? I know how to stop him. Here’s the plan…”
(Bubble transition to a superhero meeting room with a giant computer on the wall.)
Hot-Dog gloating to himself: “This entire place is mine now!”
Green Harpoon appeared running behind him, making remarks!
Green Harpoon: “The Hall of Hot-Dog? I don’t think that rolls off the tongue very well.”
He threw a harpoon at Hot-Dog!
Then, Super Sponge appeared, flying around the room.
Super Sponge: “Maybe Hot-Dog Hall would work better.”
Super Sponge threw a harpoon at Hot-Dog too!
And Patrick showed up, flying around.
Patrick: “I don’t think that would be a good name either.”
Patrick threw one at Hot-Dog, too!
Hot-Dog: “Nice try, heroes, but you forgot I’m made of fire! Your solid projectiles went right through me!”
Green Harpoon: “Yeah, but… You just happened to be standing in front of our target.”
Hot-Dog: "What?!"
Hot-Dog turned his head, and saw all of the harpoons were poking out of the big computer behind him, causing tons of damage to the computer screen, and making a bunch of electricity shoot out of it, into Hot-Dog! There was so much electricity being shot at Hot-Dog that it completely overloaded him, and he exploded! Then, Hot-Dog was gone.
Green Harpoon: "Nice work, guys! If either of you two ever need any help in the future, you know where to find me."
Super Sponge: "We'll let you know."
(Later that evening.)
The scene cuts to the hospital room, where a doctor was speaking to Lyla's mother.
Doctor: "It's too late for any treatment. Today she, uh… Went in her sleep."
The mother started crying.
SpongeBob walked into the room.
SpongeBob: "I'm so sorry ma-am. I heard about your husband, and what happened to your daughter. But you know what always cheers me up when I'm feeling sad?"
Mother: "What?"
SpongeBob: "One of these."
He handed her a fresh, hot Krabby Patty on a plate.
SpongeBob: "It's completely free of charge. Just don't tell Mr. Krabs."
The mother wiped her tears.
Mother: "Thank you, mister. Your kindness has brightened up my day."
She hugged him.
(In a dark, dimly lit, underground hideout.)
An extremely tall figure who appeared to be half fish and half wolf, wearing black colored clothing, with long black hair on his head, and bright red eyes, was watching footage of Hot-Dog exploding, through a computer screen.
Arsenal appeared, walking towards the super tall figure, and kneeled before him.
Arsenal: "I'm sorry, sir. But your little experiment failed."
(In a deep voice): “Actually, the experiment was a success. But that’s to be expected when the strings are being pulled by me… The Big Bad Wolf.”
