== Transcript ==
(Episode begins inside of the cult’s hospital ward)
Squidward: Security?
(Security is waking up)
Security: Huh? What happened?
Squidward: Don’t go gently Security.
Security: What?
(Squidward fades away and Security finds himself inside of the cult main room)
Security: Huh? Why am I here now? Is this a lucid dream? Because those are very crazy from what I’ve read.
(Brother Ivan walks in)
Ivan: Oh hello Security.
Security: Wait, aren’t you dead?
Ivan: Am I?
(Ivan’s neck spins in a 180)
Ivan: Oh wait, that’s right. You and your friends caused me to lose my life to a demon.
Security: No, it wasn’t supposed to happen like that, we wanted to rehabilitate you after you shot me but the demon got to you first-
Ivan: Save it Security. You’re going to hell. And there’s nothing you can do. 
Security: Wait what?
Ivan: Walk with me boy.
Security: Excuse me, I’m your elder!
Ivan: I’m dead you’re alive.
Security: Right. What’s it like downstairs?
Ivan: Cold. Very cold. 
Security: Wait if this is a dream then did I just make you up?
Ivan: I mean maybe?
(Security and Ivan are suddenly at the Krusty Krab)
Security: Never thought I’d be back here.
Ivan: It’s an important place in understanding WHY Security. I’m here to guide you to the afterlife. But I’m also part of your imagination. So I’m telling you that you need to keep fighting, and uncover why any of this happened. Go back and make the world better with what you discover. It all begins here Security. Don’t go gently.
(Ivan disappears and Security is now alone)
Security: Wait what?
(Security walks up to the cash register and it suddenly turns to night outside)
Security: What the heck is going on-
(As security walks up to the cash register, he notices a blazing star fall from the sky)
Security: What?
(Security notices the cash register is open, but there’s no money inside)
Security: Hello? Squidward? Noseward? Is this one of Crayons’ experiments? 
Voice: No, it’s not.
Security: Oh god who is it now?
(A crab emerges from the shadows)
Crab: Hello Security, I’m Marty.
Security: Who the davey is Marty?
Marty: You don’t remember.
(Cut to the Krusty Komrade’s attack on the cult from season two, Security stabs a crab through the chest)
Security: Oh.
Marty: I don’t blame you, after all I was just another pointless casualty in the Cult’s war with everyone.
Security: No, it wasn’t pointless, you guys attacked us.
Marty: Because you invaded the whole freaking sea! What were we supposed to do, nothing? You gave us no choice!
Security: You could’ve conformed.
Marty: See that’s what you’re not getting Security, it isn’t all black and white. Do you honestly think Squidward doesn’t feel any form of remorse for what he did?
Security: Yes. He’s a good leader and he did what had to be done to achieve world peace through forceful domination.
Marty: There’s so many red flags with that sentence. Security let’s face it, do you even believe in the mission you’re carrying out anymore?
Security: Yes, I have to.
Marty: Even here, laying on your DEATH BED?
Security: Wait what?
(Quick cut to Squidward next to Security who’s comatose, Security shakes a bit)
Marty: Just promise me you won’t go gently.
Security: Why does everyone keep saying that?
(Security wakes up in his Cult bedroom)
Security: Oh thank god, it was all a dream.
Ivan: Welcome back.
Security: Goddamit.
Ivan: Why the long face, Security?
Security: I’m dying, aren’t I, Ivan?
Ivan: (nods head) glad you’ve figured it out.
Secretly: And that makes you a direct representation of my conscious?
Ivan: Yep. And I’m here to tell you don’t go gently Security, wake up and keep fighting!
Security: So how do I get out?
Ivan: Idk bro, it’s your mind. 
Security: Hey wait, I remember Squidward saying that if we were ever dying, that a fabled council of death would decide our fates. 
Ivan: Well yes, yes he did.
Security: So I just need to find the representation of that in my mind and then I’m golden!
Ivan: Sure thing.
(Security suddenly appears inside of SpongeBob’s Pineapple)
Security: wait why am I here?
(Security turns around and now he’s facing himself)
Security: What is this?
*Security*: Where it all began.
Security: Why did you bring me back here?
*Security*: Maybe to help you have a realization or something I don’t know, I don’t get paid enough.
Security: But you’re my consciousness-
*Security*: July 17th, 2018. That fateful morning, Squidward began the cult's invasion by launching a surprise attack on his dear neighbor SpongeBob. Why? He didn’t specify.
Security: So you’re saying he didn’t have a legitimate reason?
*Security*: Come on Security, we both know how Squidward is. Very power hungry type guy. He just wanted to feel wanted and you know that. 
Security: Well yes I know that but what does that have to do with anything?
*Security*: That’s for you to find out. 
Security: wait wait I thought he wanted something from SpongeBob. A book?
*Security*: Bingo! That’s your ticket out of here Security. 
Security: What book was it?
*Security*: Beats me.
(Security suddenly appears inside of SponegBob’s Library)
Security: Okay so I’m sure it’ll be obvious..
(Security notices a large black book with a skull on the spine)
Security: That’s it.
(Security grabs the book and it opens itself up to a blank page)
Security: What? It was empty?
*Security*: It didn’t exist, you just needed to find your way to the council.
Security: What council?
(Security suddenly appears in a dimly lit room and sees five hooded figures sitting in seats ahead of him)
Security: Am I making this up or…
Hooded Figure 1: Welcome, Security. 
Security: What’s going on? Is this still in my mind?
Hooded Figure 2: This is the veil. 
Hooded Figure 1: Council! It’s time to judge!
(All of the hooded figures remove their hoods to reveal skeleton people)
Security: Oh great, I’m in a LUCID coma.
Hooded Figure 1: Let the judgement commence! I am the Grim Reaper, or at least the fish version.
Security: The GRIM REAPER?!
Grim Reaper: Yes sir! On my right, Thanatos and Anubis. On my left, Shinigami and Richard Nixon.
Security: Richard Nixon?
Nixon: Shut your face, I’m here to judge you and not to be judged.
Security: Okay then.
Shinigami: Can we move this along? I’m ready to take this one’s soul far downstairs.
Thanatos: Yeah, you’re going straight to Tartarus! 
Shinigami: For the last time, it’s just the Underworld.
Thanatos: Fine.
Anubis: I see right through this one. Bring me the feather!
(A feather appears in front of Security)
Anubis: The test!
(Security’s heart appears next to the feather)
Security: Wait hold up what-
Anubis: If you truly are a good man, your heart will weigh less than this feather.
Security: That doesn’t make sense-
Nixon: None of this makes sense.
Security: Fair point.
(Security’s heart is placed on the scale across from the feather and it weighs down)
Anubis: Oh wow sorry dude, looks like I have to make a delivery downstairs.
Security: WAIT!
Anubis: Hm?
Security: If I promise to carry out only good deeds from here, can I extend my life warranty for a year?
Anubis: Nope sorry. 
(Anubis is about to snap his fingers and send Security to Hell when a skeleton walks up and whispers something into the Grim Reaper’s ear)
Grim Reaper: Really? Okay. Security you’re free to go.
Shinigami: But boss!
Grim Reaper: The skeleton told me something.
Anubis: What did he say?
Grim Reaper: This is one of the few destined to fight and beat the devil once and for all! Think about how bad it would be for our reputations if we sent one of Earth’s saviors to Hell prematurely!
Anubis: That’s true. Fine Security, you walk. For now.
(Security wakes up in the cult hospital ward)
Security: Wait is this real?
(Squidward turns around and his eyes are glowing red)
Security: GODDAMMIT!
Squidward: Hell Security. I understand you’ve been let go from death to defeat me.
Security: Satan?
Squidward (Satan): Yes, it’s me. 
Security: Why are you here?
Squidward (Satan): Well it occurred to me that you will in fact beat me, you just don’t know how yet. So, I’m going to destroy you here inside your mind.
(Satan Squidward snaps his fingers to try and smite Security, but it fails)
Security: Satan, you really have no common sense. You’re trying to destroy me inside my own mind, I can’t lose! 
Squidward (Satan): Fine. You win this round.
(Security actually wakes up in the cult hospital ward)
Noseward: OH MY GOD HE’S ALIVE!
Yvette: Holy- SECURITY!
Noseward: What took you so long?
Security: I didn’t go gently.
Noseward: I have no idea what that means.
Squidward: Security! You’re alive!
Security: Yeah yeah. I don’t remember anything from when I was comatose.
Squidward: I wasn’t expecting you to.
Security: So what now?
Squidward: I have no idea.
(Cut to Mr. Krabs standing before a large group of crustaceans)
Mr. Krabs: My brothers! My comrades! 
All Crabs: AYE!
Mr. Krabs: The time is nearing for the ONSLAUGHT!
Random Crab: That’s a really weird word to use-
Mr. Krabs: Silence wench! This is the vision! Always has been! TO THE CULT WE MARCH!
