Demons begin amounting forces underneath the direction of a powerful new leader who claims he’ll replace Satan as Hell’s rightful ruler; Krabs is officially inducted into the Snowflakes, much to the shock of the Cult and Feathered Friends.
==Transcript==
(Episode begins in a throne room with massive pillars and statues of Satan and his armies decorating it; demons are guarding the throne when all of a sudden, the door blows open and a tall, slender, dark red creature walks in)
Demon: HALT. STATE YOUR NAME AND BUSINESS.
(The creature snaps its fingers as the Demon starts glowing out his eyes and eventually blows up; the other demons are too shocked to properly comment)
Demon 1: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
Creature: I’m sure you know full well who I am.
Demon 2: WHO ARE YOU.
Creature: Don’t play dumb. You know who I am. Quit pretending, and maybe I will spare you.
(The demons just stare angrily for a few seconds)
Demon: Azyrth. What are you doing back.
Azryth: (Chuckles) Well, for one, I just really wanted to kill that stupid piece of crap lesser demon who helped lock me up. For two, it’s time for a regime change.
Demon 2: What are you talking about? Regime change? Satan’s our true ruler, and he’ll be back someday! We just need to find a way to-
Azryth: What? Pick the lock to his cage? Yeah, good luck with that one. Not even God could destroy that lock. 
Demon: So what, you’re just gonna walk in and take over? You know millions of other demons will oppose you, right?
Azyrth: (laughing) But you have no leader. No leader means you have no chance in Hell to defeat ME. Now, quit wasting my time, and-
(Suddenly, the throne room door busts open and a few hundred demons march in and surround Azryth)
Commander Demon: Azryth. You have two options. You can either come with us. Or you die. Which’ll it be?
Azryth: I’ll take the second option.
Commander Demon: Is that really the decision you want to make?
Azryth: Yes. I am sure.
Commander Demon: BOYS, ATTACK!
(The demons swarm Azryth, but a flash of red light fills the room as all the demons fly off him as he glows red)
Azyrth: (Laughing) How pitiful.
Commander Demon: (Weak, coughing) Azryth… you’ll never.. Get away with this…
(Azryth stares at the commander as he slowly walks to him, picks him off the floor and lifts his face to his own)
Azryth: But I already have.
(The commander demon shivers in fear as Azryth squeezes his head, causing his eyes to spit flames as he disintegrates into ash, screaming)
Azryth: What was that about the opposition?
(The two remaining demon guards get onto their knees)
Azryth: We’re going to war, boys. I hope you’re ready. But for now, you two are my servants.
(Azryth raises his arm in the air as gold chains clasp the throats of the 2 demons and Azryth tugs them so they fall by his side)
Azyrth: If there is ANY disobedience, you two die. This is your first and ONLY warning.
(The camera focuses on the door as we see Azryth slowly walk out of the throne room, surrounded by the demon’s corpses, tugging along the two demons he captured; the screen cuts to black as he closes the throne room door, and then it fades to the Snowflakes cabin)
Jerry: So, Cangrejo, what do you say?
Krabs: Well, I guess I’m in.
Jerry: (normal voice) Great! I’ll have our tailor make your new threads immediately!
Krabs: You guys have a tailor too?
Jerry: I think it’s an organizational requirement. 
(Fate ushers in the Snowflakes’ tailor)
Fate: I present to you, the Tailor!
Tailor: Hi.
Krabs: Wait, aren’t you the same tailor from the cult?
Tailor: I’m not allowed to say. But we’re getting sidetracked. I’m going to make you some new clothes. May I take measurements?
Krabs: Sure.
(The tailor pulls out a comically large ruler)
Krabs: Why is that ruler so large?
Tailor: I work with all sorts of folks. I once worked with Cthulu! I had to wear sunglasses, so my eyes wouldn’t bleed. They aren’t kidding about how he drives you insane just by looking at him!
Krabs: Oh, please. Cthulu doesn’t exist.
Tailor: (Laughs) They always say that, and when they see him, they always kill themselves because of the insanity. Anyways, here’s your robes!
(The tailor hands Krabs his own blue robes with a snowflake on the back)
Krabs: How did you make that so fast?
Jerry: (quietly to Krabs) It’s better if you don’t question the process. (Watch beeps) Oh, would you look at that; it would appear to be quittin’ time.
Krabs: Already?
Jerry: Well, it is a holiday. 
Fate: Oh, crap, it’s quitting time already? Well, I’ll see you guys later.
Jerry: So long, Fate.
Fate: I’ll see all you tomorrow.
(Fate grabs a briefcase and walks out of the cabin)
Krabs: Well, Jerry, am I an official Snowflake?
Jerry: Yup. (Talking like pirate) Clawbeard likes ye, lad.
Krabs: Oh, Clawbeard’s back?
Jerry: (Talking normally) Clawbeard? Who the hell is Clawbeard?
Krabs: But… you just… (Pause, shrugs) Nevermind, I guess.
Jerry: Well, you best be on your way.
Krabs: But.. to where? 
Jerry: To tell the world, of course! Share our message, let everyone know you’ve become a Snowflake… OFFICIALLY.
(Krabs has a nervous but accepting look spread across his face)
Krabs: Okay, you got it.
(Cut to the Cult)
Squidward: Hey, Krabs has been gone for a while. I wonder if his mission has been successful. 
SpongeBob: Well, here’s to hoping. 
Crayons: There's no way Krabs would fail.
(There’s a knock at the door)
Squidward: I assume that’s him.
Crayons: That would be IMPECCABLE timing.
Squidward: Crayons, come with me to answer the door.
(Squidward goes to the door and Crayons trails behind; Squidward opens the door and Krabs is standing there in a Snowflakes uniform)
Krabs: Hey, guys.
Squidward: Eugene?
Krabs: Yes, it's me.
Squidward: You were gone for a long while. I assume the mission was successful?
Krabs: Mission? What mission?
Squidward: Uh… The mission we sent you on.
Krabs: Uh… Oh. Oh! THAT mission!
Squidward: So, how'd it go? 
Krabs: Oh, it went great! The Snowflakes have a really nice base.
Crayons: But, did you get any Intel? Like, anything secret?
Krabs: What? Oh, no. No, I didn't.
Squidward: WHAT?! But you were SUPPOSED to!
Krabs: Yeah, well, I forgot. 
Crayons: (groan) Okay, it's no worries. Just remember next time, okay? We need to know everything about them if we want the upper hand.
Krabs: But why do we even need to beat these guys anyways?
Squidward: What??? What do you mean???
Krabs: All I'm sayin' is they have a neat little pact over there. And their lodge is pretty dang nice. It even has a heater! I don't see this place with a damn heater. It's FREEZING in there.
Squidward: Krabs, are you saying what I think you're saying? PLEASE tell me you aren't saying what I think you're trying to say.
Krabs: I'm afraid I am, Squidward. I'm joinin' the Snowflakes. 
Squidward: (Breathing heavily) You red BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US LIKE THIS AGAIN?! FIRST IT'S THE KOMRADES, THEN AGAIN WITH THE KOMRADES, AND NOW THIS?! HAVE YOU NO SHAME?! 
(Krabs, without reacting, just turns around and walks away)
Squidward: WALK AWAY AND DON'T EVER COME BACK! 
(Squidward is breathing angrily through his nose as Crayons holds his shoulders while they both watch Krabs walk into the distance)
Crayons: Calm down, Squidward. Calm down. We can deal with this later. We have bigger issues on our mind then-
(Squidward shoves Crayons away as he angrily storms off with everyone watching; he storms past Noseward still in bed and Security watching him, then he angrily marches to his throne and sits down, arms crossed, angrily grumbling, as Crayons and Plankton slowly walk in)
Crayons: Uh… Squidward?
(No response)
Plankton: Squidward, I know you’re upset, but you can’t let your anger distract you from the mission.
Crayons: Yeah, what he said. Sure, we’re down one person, but we never needed that traitorous red son of a b[dolphin chirp] anyway. 
(Squidward waits a little bit, then huffs)
Crayons: Squidward? You feeling better?
Squidward: Just… Just give me some time to myself.
(Crayons and Plankton both stare at eachother as they walk out; we see Squidward sitting on his throne with his head held in his hand as the episode fades to black)
