==Transcript==
(The intro and opening credits play, which fade to black as a title card reads, “Into Apocalypse” appears, fades to black again. Cut to a shot of Jellyfish Fields, where SpongeBob and Patrick are jellyfishing at.)
SpongeBob: Bahahahahaha! This is the most fun I’ve ever had jellyfishing, Patrick!
Patrick: Haha! Me too!
(Suddenly, SpongeBob spies a special jellyfish, known as the Diamond Jellyfish. As you can tell from the name, it is made entirely of diamonds.)
SpongeBob: GREAT NEPTUNE, PATRICK! LOOK!
Patrick: Huh?
SpongeBob: It’s the DIAMOND JELLYFISH!
Patrick: Whoa…I’ve never seen anything like it!
(SpongeBob takes The Official Guide to Jellyfish handbook out of his pocket and starts flipping through it.)
SpongeBob: According to The Official Guide to Jellyfish handbook, the Diamond Jellyfish is the rarest one in the seven seas!
(SpongeBob shows the page that says it to Patrick.)
Patrick: I can’t believe it! We have to catch it!
(Patrick swings his net at the Diamond Jellyfish, which runs away.)
SpongeBob: Patrick, if we want to catch it, we have to be slow and sneaky, which I also know from The Official Guide to Jellyfish handbook.
Patrick: Okay.
(The two slowly sneak up to the Diamond Jellyfish and swing their nets at it, but it runs away again.)
SpongeBob: Darn.
Patrick: You know what, forget being slow and sneaky. It’s the Diamond Jellyfish, for crying out loud!
SpongeBob: I guess you’re right. C’mon!
Patrick: Right behind ya, buddy!
(The two run and swing their nets at the Diamond Jellyfish, which runs away to a cave.)
SpongeBob: Ooh! A cave!
(Patrick runs over and trips on a piece of coral.)
Patrick: Oof! (he looks up at the cave) Huh?
SpongeBob: The Diamond Jellyfish went in there, Pat. Let’s look for it!
Patrick: Okay.
(The two run into the cave and search for the Diamond Jellyfish, by looking under and behind large rocks and other objects. We cut to a nearby area in the cave where there are piles of stalagmites with a dark teal ooze covering some of them. SpongeBob and Patrick notice the ooze.)
SpongeBob: Hey, what’s that weird ooze doing on those stalagmites over there?
Patrick: I dunno.
(Patrick walks over to the stalagmites and is about to touch the ooze.)
SpongeBob: PATRICK, WAIT!
(SpongeBob runs over to Patrick and grabs his hand.)
SpongeBob: What if the ooze is poisonous? Who knows what it could do to you!
Patrick: Oh, yeah. Good point.
(The two observe the ooze. SpongeBob finds a stick in the cave and touches the ooze with it. The stick then comes to life and becomes feral, growing sharp wooden teeth. SpongeBob is frightened and drops the stick, as Patrick picks it up and snaps it in half.)
SpongeBob: Whew! Thanks, Pat.
Patrick: No problemo.
SpongeBob: Weird…it looks like that ooze can turn anything into a monster! People need to know this!
Patrick: What if they don’t believe us?
SpongeBob: I don’t know what’ll happen then. Hopefully things will be okay in the end.
Patrick: Yeah, we wouldn’t want anything else to turn into a monster.
SpongeBob: And hopefully nothing else will.
(SpongeBob checks his wristwatch. The time reads 7:00 PM.)
SpongeBob: Whoa, it’s getting late, Pat. We should leave.
Patrick: Good idea, SpongeBob.
(The two walk out of the cave. The sun is setting. They then go their separate ways.)
SpongeBob: Bye, Patrick!
Patrick: You too, SpongeBob!
(Cut to a shot of SpongeBob’s pineapple house. It is nighttime.)
SpongeBob: Gary, you’ll never believe what me and Patrick saw at Jellyfish Fields!
Gary: Meow?
(Cut to SpongeBob laying down in his bed next to Gary.)
SpongeBob: It was this weird, dark teal-colored ooze!
Gary: Meow?
SpongeBob: Well, it was sitting on some stalagmites, and me and Patrick saw it. I touched it with a stick and it turned into some sort of weird monster stick!
Gary: Meow!
SpongeBob: What do you mean it’s a bunch of sea-bologna, Gary? I wouldn’t lie to you! I saw it with my own eyes!
Gary: Meow…
SpongeBob: I dunno if I can really prove it or not. You’d have to see it yourself. I’m worried, though.
Gary: Meow?
SpongeBob: I’m worried this ooze will lead to something much more…something dangerous.
Gary: Meow?
SpongeBob: I don’t know, like some sort of apocalypse. You know what happened to the stick when it touched the ooze, right?
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: What if someone in Bikini Bottom were to touch that ooze? Would they turn into a monster?
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: You’re right, Gary. I should probably put this all behind me. Everything might be okay...everything will be okay…
(SpongeBob falls asleep, snoring. We cut to a shot of SpongeBob’s house, and then to Jellyfish Fields. Cut to the ooze sitting on the stalagmites, which starts shaking and comes to life, slithering off the stalagmites and out of the cave. It travels from Jellyfish Fields onto the road leading to Bikini Bottom, where two cops are driving, listening to the radio.)
Cop #1 and Cop #2: 🎵I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad! I got sunshine in a bag! I’m useless, but not for long! The future is coming o-🎵
(The ooze forms a silhouette of a pedestrian in front of the car.)
Cop #1: WHOA!
(The cop turns the steering wheel hard to the left, causing the car to go off the road. The silhouette disappears back into the ooze.)
Cop #2: ...🎵is coming on, is coming o-🎵
Cop #1: (He turns off the radio) JERRY!
Jerry: What, Ben?
Ben: WE NEARLY RAN OVER SOMEONE!
Jerry: Oh, damn.
(The two get out of their car and walk over to the road. They see the teal ooze.)
Jerry: I-is that it’s blood?
Ben: No, Jerry. Our blood is red. That isn’t red, it’s dark teal. And it doesn’t look like blood either.
Jerry: Huh, where’d the guy go?
Ben: I don’t know. The more important question is...what’s this ooze doing here?
(Ben touches the ooze with his finger and licks it.)
Ben: Hmm…
Jerry: What is it, Ben?
Ben: I have no idea, dude.
(Suddenly, Ben hunches over and kneels on the ground. He starts regurgitating a puddle of the dark teal ooze he swallowed.)
Jerry: Ben? Are you okay?
(Ben turns around, stands up, and growls at Jerry with glowing teal eyes.)
Jerry: Ahh!
(Ben's transformation begins, as his bones start to restructure to form the body of a Tealite. His teeth grow sharp and he becomes larger, taller, and more muscular.)
Jerry: Oh god...what’s happening to you, Ben?
(Ben finally lets out an ear-piercing roar and starts chasing Jerry down the street into the city.)
Jerry: AAGH! DON’T HURT ME, BEN!
(The two run past many buildings and stores before Ben chases Jerry into a dead end. Ben slowly inches closer, ready to end Jerry.)
Jerry: No, no, NO! HELP, SOMEONE! PLEASE!
(Ben leaps onto Jerry and begins to maul him. He leaves him in a bloody mess before slowly inching away.)
Jerry: Urgh...I don’t feel so good...
(Jerry hunches over and kneels on the ground as he regurgitates a puddle of dark ooze like Ben did. He then transforms into a Tealite the same way, and he lets out another ear-piercing roar. Ben and Jerry, who are now Tealites, walk back into the city, looking for citizens to infect. A time card then appears, reading “The Next Morning”, as we cut to a shot of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward’s houses seen in a now deserted Bikini Bottom. We then cut to inside SpongeBob’s bedroom. SpongeBob’s alarm clock goes off, waking him up. SpongeBob sits up and yawns.)
SpongeBob: Well, time for another wonderful day working at the Krusty Krab!
(SpongeBob gets out of bed and heads to his window.)
SpongeBob: And of course, another wonderful day hanging out with Patr-WHOA!
(SpongeBob looks outside his window to see Bikini Bottom deserted as a tumbleweed blows past his house.)
SpongeBob: What the barnacles happened? Also, where’s Gary?
(The noise of something pounding on a window followed by glass shattering can be heard downstairs. SpongeBob frightenedly turns around.)
SpongeBob: WHAT WAS THAT?
(SpongeBob tiptoes over to his shelf containing the case holding his most prized jellyfishing net, Ol’ Reliable. He opens the case and takes Ol’ Reliable out. He slowly exits his bedroom and walks downstairs to the source of the noise. He enters the kitchen and hears the sound of moving footsteps behind him, as he quickly turns around and swings his net. However, nothing is there.)
SpongeBob: G-gary? I-is that you?
(SpongeBob hears moving footsteps behind him once again, as he turns around quickly again as well.)
SpongeBob: G-gary, t-this isn’t funny!
(The noises of footsteps come to a stop, as SpongeBob slowly relaxes.)
SpongeBob: Control yourself, SpongeBob. There isn’t anything waiting in the dark to pounce on you or anything-
(Suddenly, a Tealite jumps down from the stairs and tackles SpongeBob.)
SpongeBob: AAGH! SOMEONE HELP!
(The Tealite goes to bite SpongeBob, but SpongeBob holds up Ol’ Reliable sideways, as the handle ends up getting bitten by the Tealite.)
SpongeBob: Great neptune, if only someone like Sandy were here right now!
(Cut to a long shot of Sandy herself holding a shotgun walking on an empty, cracked road leading to SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward’s houses.)
Sandy: Man, I still can’t believe that a darn tootin’ apocalypse unfolded...only HOURS ago! I wish someone like SpongeBob was here…
(Sandy passes by SpongeBob’s house before she hears his screaming coming from inside.)
SpongeBob: AAGH! PLEASE, IF ANYONE’S HEARING ME RIGHT NOW, HELP!
Sandy: SpongeBob!
(Sandy runs to SpongeBob’s door which she knocks down with her elbow and her shotgun in hand.)
SpongeBob: SANDY!
Sandy: SPONGEBOB!
(The Tealite lunges after Sandy before she shoots it three times in the head with her shotgun, decapitating it.)
SpongeBob: Sandy, y-you saved me!
(SpongeBob runs up to Sandy and gives her a hug.)
Sandy: Aw, shucks!
SpongeBob: So...what the heck happened?
Sandy: Well, somehow a dang apocalypse started hours ago. I think it was because of some ooze.
SpongeBob: An...ooze?
Sandy: Yeah, it started turning people into monsters. It was also teal, I think.
SpongeBob: Funny you say that, actually.
Sandy: Oh?
SpongeBob: Patrick and I were in a cave at Jellyfish Fields the other day and saw the same ooze.
Sandy: Well, flippin’ ferrets! Why didn’t ya tell everyone?
SpongeBob: I don’t know, everything was just going by so fast. That and I was pretty worried. I didn’t know how everyone would react.
Sandy: Well, we won’t have to worry for too long, cause we’re gonna get to the bottom of this and save Bikini Bottom, you hear me?
SpongeBob: ...Okay, got it.
Sandy: That’s the spirit! C’mon!
(Sandy walks out SpongeBob’s door, but he holds his arm out to stop her.)
SpongeBob: Wait!
Sandy: Hm?
SpongeBob: I-I need to find Gary.
Sandy: Why? Is the lil’ fella missin’?
SpongeBob: Yeah, I think. When I woke up, I hadn’t heard him anywhere. Nor could I...find him anywhere.
Sandy: Well, don’t worry. We’ll find him when we can. First, we should find Patrick and Squidward to come with us.
SpongeBob: Yeah, good idea.
(The two walk out the door and make their way to Squidward’s house. We cut to a long shot of SpongeBob and Sandy standing outside Squidward’s house, before the episode fades to black with white font reading, “To Be Continued” as the episode ends.)
