Rayman Legends Adventures in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie/Script

Ellie Mae was given a letter from her mermaid pen pal and came to her father. "Daddy, can I go visit my friend Mindy," she asked, "she sent me a letter saying she wants to meet up some time, can you turn me into a mermaid?"
"Very well, but Martin will have to come with you," Luke said.
"Aw, c'mon," Ellie Mae pouted, "why can't I go alone?"
"There's a cyclops in the ocean and where he is impervious to magic," Luke warned her firmly.
"Oh..." Ellie Mae said, "um...how bad could it be?"
"Don't tempt it..." Luke warned, "hasn't your friend Mindy warned you about him?"
"You know what, perhaps it would be safe if had someone with muscles and incredible strength to come along with me," Ellie Mae grinned hesitantly, now remembering what her pen pal had warned her about.
"Uh-huh..." Luke nodded to her.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Dad..." Ellie Mae said, hesitant that he was probably mad at her due to her snarky behavior just then.
"Anyhow, we should go get Martin, but then you both can get to your pen pal," Luke said.
"Uh, yes, sir..." Ellie Mae nodded, "thank you, Daddy."
"Sure, darling," Luke grinned to her, "go get yourself ready."
Then Ellie Mae walked away to get ready to meet her underwater pen pal.
"FIEVEL," Luke yelled out.
Fievel was right behind him and tapped his shoulder.
"Ah, there you are," Luke said once he turned around to see Fievel, "we're going to be getting Martin."
Fievel smirked slightly.
"What," Luke asked him.
Fievel tilted his head and grinned cutely as he took out a lollipop and licked it.
"Alright, I love Fievel, he's a nice boy, he's like the son I never had..." Luke admitted.
Fievel smirked out of victory. Luke grinned gently before pounding Fievel on the head. Fievel groaned as his hat covered his eyes and he was having a hard time getting around.
"Come here, darling, let's visit Martin before you see Mindy," Luke warned Ellie Mae.
Ellie Mae nodded and went over to her father and brother.
"Let's get going then," Ellie Mae said.
Luke nodded as Fievel strained and then they went away to the Brisby house.
Martin was playing video games with Teresa and Cynthia on the couch as it was what felt like an extremely normal day, at least, so far.
"I'm eventually gonna beat you today, Teresa," Martin said.
"NoooooOOOO...." Teresa replied as her eyes didn't leave the screen.
"Oh, really," Martin smirked as he started to use a combo of his own.
"That's cheating," Teresa whined.
"No, it's not, it's called making up your own combo," Martin smirked as he beat Teresa at a game at last.
"I hate you..." Teresa narrowed her eyes, "I hope you get crushed by marshmallows."
"Hello, Martin," Luke grinned as he, Ellie Mae and Fievel appeared in the room.
"Oh, sure, it's you..." Teresa glanced at the rodent.
"Silent in your house....." Ellie Mae noticed.
"Tanya's visiting Timmy," Martin explained.
"That explains it," Ellie Mae said.
"Any matter, Martin, Ellie Mae is going to be visiting her mermaid pen pal and is gonna need you to come with her," Luke said to Martin.
"Ellie Mae, your pen pal's a mermaid," Martin asked.
"Her name's Mindy, she's King Neptune's daughter," Ellie Mae explained.
"How big is Neptune," Martin asked.
"Oh, about heavenly size, which would be giant," Luke said.
"Bigger than you," Teresa smirked.
"Don't start with me," Luke frowned.
Teresa stuck her tongue out. Luke wanted to hurt her, but couldn't since Martin was in the room.
"Alright," Martin stood up. "Hey, Cynthia, Teresa, how'd you like to become mermaids with me this time," he offered, "you both can now and since this isn't a family fact, you can come as well."
"Only if we're invited, sure," Cynthia grinned to the offer.
"Just as long as it isn't like if we became mermaids with Abigail and almost got stuck forever," Teresa added in.
"Oh, alright," Luke pouted.
"Have you heard of her, Martin," Ellie Mae asked, "her name's Mindy."
"I think my mum mentioned her once," Martin said.
"Do you have a picture of her on you, Ellie Mae," Cynthia prompted.
Ellie Mae conjured up a photograph of her pen pal to show a green-skinned mermaid with a golden bracelet on her right arm, a short-sleeved pink top with a red heart on it with a darker green tail fin and short dark blue hair with round black glasses and a tiny yellow bow in her hair.
"Yes, that's certainly the description my mom gave," Martin said.
"Then we can meet her, Daddy," Ellie Mae asked.
"I suppose you could spend the week under the sea..." Luke replied.
"Are you coming with us," Teresa asked hesitantly.
"I think I'll pass on this one," Luke replied, "it'll help me fix up some work."
Fievel nodded in agreement.
"Looks like Martin is gonna be surrounded by females alone," Ellie Mae said.
"Sounds like my graduation festival..." Luke shuddered slightly.
"I think I'll survive," Martin said.
"Then we can go," Ellie Mae asked.
"I don't see why not," Luke grinned. "Behave yourselves now, now you can spend a week under the sea. Starting...right...NOW," he sent them away, which transported them into the ocean as a mer-boy and mermaids.
"This is so emotional," Cynthia said before seeing how torn Martin looked as a mer-boy.
Martin grinned to Cynthia before winking to her.
Cynthia squeaked slightly and put her hand over her chest. "Oh, my..."
"Alright...anyhow, we better get to King Neptune's castle," Ellie Mae said.
"Do you know the road," Teresa asked.
"I'm sure we'll be able to find it, if we hurry up, we can get there before nightfall if Neptune has his Royal Court," Ellie Mae shrugged, but started swimming one fashion.
The others followed, but passed an estranged sign that said 'Bikini Bottom'. It took them a while, but they were eventually able to find King Neptune's castle. It was the middle of the day as the sun shone from the surface. Ellie Mae knocked on the castle front door and waited for a response.
However, a fish who walked on two fins like they were legs responded and was dressed like a squire. "Yes?"
"Um, we're here to see Princess Mindy," Ellie Mae said.
"Princess Mindy," the fish squire asked, "and who might you be?"
"Just warn her Ellie Mae's here," the witchling warned the fish, "she'll know what it means."
"Of course, stay right here," the fish warned them.
"I knew I could handle this..." Ellie Mae smirked, "well, uh...Martin, how do you know Princess Mindy, is she a cousin of yours?"
"My mum warned me one time that my uncle, King Triton had a brother named Neptune named after their father and then she warned me since Mindy is King Neptune's daughter, that would also make us cousins," Martin said.
"Wait, I thought Triton married your mum's sister, Athena," Teresa scratched her head.
"Yes, he did so and where my mum married my dad," Martin said before bringing out a family tree.
"Ah, sure, I just had to say something, now he's gonna lecture me..." Teresa moaned.
"You see, Uncle Triton and Uncle Neptune are brothers and since Aunt Athena got married to Uncle Triton, that makes Ariel my cousin and then there's Uncle Neptune and-oh, I forgot my other aunt's name," Martin moaned.
"Nice..." Teresa mumbled.
The squire fish came back. "You may enter."
"Thanks," Ellie Mae said as she and the others went inside the underwater castle.
"Perhaps the name will come to me later on," Martin said.
"We could always ask....." Cynthia merely shrugged as she was a lot more used to her tail fin now and could swim as well as the others.
Martin grinned. "You're getting a lot better."
"I practiced sometimes since I'd take the dogs to the park and I'd go for a dip while they'd play until dinner time," Cynthia grinned back.
"That's a perfect fashion to get practice done," Martin said.
"Yes, I love swimming in that lake..." Cynthia grinned, "it's never too cold or too warm."
Martin grinned back, feeling glad that he was able to make her into a mermaid like him and the others. Now perhaps he could introduce her to the family...
"Princess Mindy, you have visitors," the squire fish announced.
"Send them in," the mermaid princess said.
The squire fish nodded and let the others pass.
"How is that fish walking like a person," Ellie Mae asked Martin.
"I don't know, must be a fact here," Martin whispered.
Mindy came over and grinned. "Ellie Mae!"
"Mindy," Ellie Mae beamed.
Then the two swam up together and hugged each other instantly. Martin was happy for the two of them.
"Oh, you've brought company," Mindy looked over to see the others.
"I hope you don't mind," Ellie Mae said.
"That should be fine," Mindy agreed, but looked to the guests. "Hey, aren't you Triton and Athena's nephew," she asked Atticus, seeming to recognize him.
"That would be me," Martin said.
"I thought it was you," Mindy grinned, "nice to see you outside of Atlantica."
"It's nice to eventually meet you, Mindy, and I actually live on land," Martin said.
"Oh, well, that's different..." Mindy replied.
"A best different," Martin asked.
"I'm surprised, but impressed," Mindy replied.
"Thanks," Martin grinned.
"But why do you live on land," Mindy asked.
"Because that's where my parents and family live, well, you know, not all my family, some live in the ocean and some live on land," Martin said.
"Really," Mindy asked, feeling blown off, "I never heard of such a fact."
"Oh, by the way, Mindy, what's your mother's name," Martin asked, "I haven't really seen her."
"Queen Amphirite," Mindy replied, "she's gone out of town, where it's just me and dad until she comes back."
"Ohh, that's right, Aunt Amphirite," Martin said, now remembering.
"You guys used to visit if you were a baby, but you just stopped for some reason..." Mindy said, not knowing the real reason.
"It's a long story, Mindy," Martin replied.
Then Mindy took her guests into her room. "As the fanfare starts, I have to go with Daddy to the royal court..." she sighed, "knowing him, he's going to punish someone for doing nothing wrong."
"Does he really do that," Martin asked, surprised.
"Don't get me started....." Mindy sighed.
"Man, and I thought Uncle Triton was hostile..." Martin replied, "I do wonder how Uncle Neptune feels about humans?"
"Hard to say," Mindy replied, "sometimes I wanna go around though and explore, I've memorized the name of every sea creature though."
"Cool," Martin grinned.
Mindy grinned back.
"These fish are weird...." Penelope looked out the window, "they walk like people.....this can't be normal."
"I agree," Teresa said.
"What are the fish like where you live," Mindy asked as though she didn't find anything wrong with the underwater population in this ocean.
"Well, they don't wear any clothes and they don't walk like people," Cynthia said.
"That's weird," Mindy said.
"Oh, that's weird," Teresa merely scoffed.
"Be nice..." Ellie Mae warned her.
Mindy sighed as she looked out the window as she watched the fish folk going about their lives.
"You alright, cousin," Martin asked.
"I just wanna get out a little more..." Mindy sighed, "I crave adventure and emotion."
"Well, perhaps one day, you'll have your own adventure," Ellie Mae said.
"I certainly hope so......" Mindy said.
"Well, I've had enough adventure for one day..." Teresa replied, "besides, what could happen on a beautiful night like tonight?"
"Teresa, do you even have to ask that question," Martin asked.
"What did I say," Martin replied.
"Yes, why don't you just keep your big mouth shut for once," Ellie Mae frowned at the grisly mouse.
"Teresa, think of every day of our lives, have we ever had a relaxing day," Cynthia asked.
"No..." Teresa replied, "but what could happen in an ocean that neither of us have been in before?"
Martin simply shrugged, not knowing before his eyes glowed, warning Cynthia, Teresa and Penelope that he was now about to have a vision.
"Oh, boy..." Teresa sighed, "I should've seen this coming."
And then, it was Christmas Eve and the pig's time was up.
"Are you going to do him tonight then," Mrs. Esme Hoggett called out before scoffing, "well, fine, the blood will drain in the morning."
"Too bad..." Farmer Hoggett replied.
"What's that," Mrs. Esme Hoggett asked.
"Nothing," Farmer Hoggett said.
"What the hell are you rambling on about," Mrs. Esme Hoggett wondered.
"It's a disgrace to miss out on the best ham award at next year's fair, that's all..." the farmer muttered to himself, "nice chubby legs you're having. Beautiful. Yet...foolish to expect, I suppose so."
Martin awakened from his vision and looked around.
"Another adventure," Teresa highly assumed.
"Yes, it involves getting the crown back," Martin said.
"My dad's crown is stolen," Mindy asked in confusion, "but, it's with the Royal Crown Polisher right now."
"Yes, but it's gonna be stolen sometime soon," Martin said.
"By who," Mindy asked.
"I-I don't know, but it looked like a speck with one eye..." Martin shrugged.
"That's weird," Cynthia commented.
"The only speck with one eye in this part of the ocean would be a plankton," Mindy said.
"No wonder he was so small..." Martin concluded, "I say we keep an eye out for this plankton creature."
"How are we gonna keep track of a creature the size of a molecule," Teresa ,oaned.
"You'd be surprised how easy it is to see a plankton," Mindy said.
"Really now," Teresa replied.
"Trust me, we might miss him, but I know he won't get away with this," Mindy replied, "Plankton is most famous around here for trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula."
"What's a Krabby Patty," Martin asked.
"It's a popular sandwich in this ocean," Mindy replied, "you can only get them at the Krusty Krab."
"Sounds like a restaurant," Martin said.
"That is," Mindy replied, "guess I found a lot to show you guys."
"Yes, yes, you do so," Cynthia nodded.
"How long are you here for," Mindy asked.
"Daddy says a week, then hopefully we can get this all settled by then," Ellie Mae replied.
"Sounds nice to me," Mindy grinned to her guests.
"Let's get going before we're late for the royal court," Teresa said.
Mindy looked at the time. "Yes, it's about time, let's let Dad meet you guys before where he doesn't hurt you for being in the castle."
With that said, they all went to the throne room as numerous fish were getting ready for the Royal Court.
"If he tries to hurt us, Martin will teach him a lesson," Teresa smirked.
"Uh, yes..." Martin looked at her strangely.
They came in as the giant merman was getting himself ready.
"Woah..." the others were surprised by how big King Neptune was.
"Wow, Luke wasn't exaggerating," Teresa said surprised.
"Uh-huh..." the others agreed.
"Ah, Mindy, perfect timing," Neptune grinned to his daughter, but glanced at the others, "who are you all?!"
"Daddy, this is Ellie Mae, my pen pal, Luke's daughter," Mindy introduced, "and these are her guests, Cynthia Brisby, Martin Brisby and Teresa Brisby."
"Wait, Martin Brisby? As in, the son of Mrs. Brisby and Basil of Baker Street? And is practically the strongest person in both land and sea and the entire universe," Neptune said.
"That's me," Martin replied. "I'm also your nephew," he reminded.
"Oh, I do hope so," Neptune grinned before firmly while playfully ruffling the boys hair to see if he would react and lift him up.
"Alright, that's enough..." Martin laughed a little.
"He's right, Daddy, isn't it time for the Royal Court," Mindy asked her father.
"Oh, very well, I just wanted to see if the rumors of his strength were true," Neptune pouted.
"Don't worry, Uncle Neptune, you'll see soon," Martin grinned.
Then the fanfare started, which summoned the king and princess in for the royal court to be in session.
"Come along with us," Neptune warned their guests.
The others nodded once they were allowed to come in. Ellie Mae and the others kept a close eye out for a certain plankton that Martin saw in his vision.
The fish squire blew his trumpet as the king and princess took their seats in front of the knights in shining armor. Soon Neptune snapped his fingers to summon someone to bring out another throne for his nephew. A fish picked up the throne and strained.
"Lemme get that," Martin took it like it was weightless and sat down behind his other uncle and cousin.
Then the royal squire concluded the song. Then Neptune clonked him on the head.
"Oh, uh," the squire cleared his throat, "the Royal Court is now in session, bring the prisoner forward!"
Martin, Cynthia, Teresa and Ellie Mae were about to see who was going to be punished. There was a very puny and scrawny fish who had arm chains and looked very fat, afraid and geeky.
"Well, you have confessed to the crime of touching the king's crown," Neptune frowned to him.
"Yes, but..." the prisoner tried to explain.
"BUT WHAT," Neptune snarled.
"But it's my job, Your Highness," the fish replied while shivering in immense fear, "I'm the royal crown polisher."
"Well, then I guess I can't execute you..." Neptune replied as he tried to think of a punishment, "20 years in the dungeon that is!"
"He can't be serious," Cynthia said, "well, Martin and Mindy won't let him get away with it, I just know it."
"Daddy," Mindy fronwed at her father, but swam over to free the crown polisher. "You're free to go," she said with a grin as she took him out of his shackles.
"Bless you, Princess Mindy," the crown polisher grinned.
Mindy grinned back.
"Take care," Martin warned the fish.
"Thank you as well," the crown polisher said to Martin before he went away in sheer happiness and gratitude.
"Mindy, Martin, how dare you defy me," Neptune fronwed at the two.
"He was the crown polisher, the crown polisher is actually supposed to touch the crown where he can get it polished/cleaned," Martin said.
"Besides, why do you have to be so mean," Mindy added in for defense.
"I am the king," Neptune replied boastfully, "I must enforce the laws of the sea."
"Man, it's like Luke upped to eleven," Teresa moaned.
"Listen, it's alright to enforce the laws, but can't you just cool it down," Martin asked.
"Father, I wish you'd try a little love and compassion instead of these harsh punishments," Mindy, of course, agreed.
"That would be nice," a fish sighed with a grin.
Then Neptune hit him on the head with his scepter. "Squire, clear the room," he demanded firmly, "I would like to speak to my daughter and nephew alone."
Soon the squire left the room with everyone else including Ellie Mae, Teresa and Cynthia.
"Wow, it hasn't even been twelve hours and Martin is already in danger for being self-righteous," Ellie Mae commented.
"Oh, be silent," Cynthia said.
"You wanna make me," Ellie Mae challenged.
Cynthia growled to her as they left the scene.
Neptune took off his crown and showed his daughter and nephew. "What is this, Martin and Mindy?"
"Your crown," Martin and Mindy said, confused.
"And what does this crown do," Neptune asked.
"Covers your bald spot," Mindy pointed with a grin.
"It's not bald, it's...thinning," Neptune replied before putting his crown on its pillow as he looked in his mirror, rubbing the top of his scalp, "this crown does look much more than cover a slightly receding hairline. No, this crown entitles the one who wears it to be in charge of the sea. One day, Mindy, you will wear this crown."
"I'm gonna be bald," Mindy panicked.
"Thinning," Neptune reminded her.
Martin covered his mouth as he snickered slightly.
"Any matter, the point is, you won't wear it until you learn how to rule with an iron fist..." Neptune said before putting the pillow back on his head and folded his arms with a firm frown, "like your father and Uncle Triton, and his daughter Attina once she marries."
"Um, Uncle Neptune, why are you wearing a pillow on your head," Martin asked.
Neptune glanced at him, but took off the pillow to see he was right. "What the," he then looked to the concession stand to see something reluctant was missing, which gave him a mental breakdown, "my crown! SOMEONE HAS STOLEN THE ROYAL CROWN!!"
"It has to be plankton just like in my vision," Martin said before getting caught by his giant uncle. He grinned hesitantly. "Problem, Uncle Neptune...." he asked, a little hesitant at the sudden catch.
"You saw that this would happen?! How come you didn't warn me before the royal court," Neptune exclaimed.
"I didn't think it'd happen so soon," Martin replied.
"There's a note," Mindy picked up a note that was left on the refreshment stand, "'I stole your crown, signed Eugene Krabs'."
"Eugene Krabs," Martin asked.
"I should've known...." Neptune narrowed his eyes.
"He owns the Krusty Krab," Mindy whispered to her cousin about who this 'Eugene Krabs' was.
"Oh," Martin replied.
"He shall pay," Neptune frowned before letting go of Martin, "but that can wait for tomorrow, right now, I shall test your strength, Martin and see if the rumors are true by just my one finger."
"Oh, boy..." Martin replied.
"Daughter, take your guests to the guest chambers while I deal with your cousin," Neptune declared.
"Yes, Dad..." Mindy sighed, hoping her father wouldn't be too harsh with Martin.
"Now, Martin, this isn't punishment, I'm just going to test your strength," Neptune warned his nephew.
"What else is new," Martin replied, "alright, show me what you've had."
Neptune decided to go small at least to him as he started to push his own nephew down on the ground with only one finger. Martin did fall onto the ground, which surprised him since he wasn't in an underwater bed, but came behind his uncle and picked him up with both hands in the air. And where this surprised Neptune especially until Marin began to spin him like a basketball on only one of his fingers.
"If you want me to stop, let me know," Martin warned his uncle.
Neptune began to try to hit Martin with a fist to see if he was a fighter as well.
Then Martin got ready to fight. "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you."
"I've been a champion myself for years," Neptune smirked, "I used to fight with your Uncle Triton all the time since we were boys."
"Well, let's see if you haven't gotten rusty," Martin smirked.
Neptune began to fight back as it looked like Martin seemed to have the same strength as him almost as if his uncle was a god.
"Hey, not bad," Martin replied. "Um...Uncle Neptune, are you a god like Zeus," he then asked due to how surprisingly strong the merman king was.
"Indeed so, and it looks like you're almost becoming stronger than one." Neptune said.
"That explains a lot," Martin grinned to him, "well, you see, I've met Hercules and due to my adventure with him, I was given this strength as a reward from Zeus himself."
"That would explain it, well, let's see if you can keep up with my fighting skills," Neptune as he hit his nephew like a baseball with his tail fin.
"Woah," Martin flew through the air, but caught hold of a pole and flung himself right back, "now you're gonna get it!"
"Huh, not bad," Neptune liked that.
The two of them began to fight even using pillars as weapons until in the end, Martin was on top of his giant uncle all tied up. "You should be my heir," Neptune said admirably to his nephew.
"But what about Mindy," Martin asked.
"Well, she is my daughter, but you're very impressive and you'd make a wonderful Canterlot Guard," Neptune replied.
"Yes, but I'd like to be a detective," Martin grinned, "uh, want some help getting unstuck?"
"Please," Neptune replied, "I'm going to pay a visit to the Krusty Krab first fact tomorrow morning."
Martin started to untie his giant uncle.
"Why don't you come with me," Neptune asked.
"Just no being rash with this Mr. Krabs person," Martin replied. "I'm sure there's a logical explanation..." he muttered, "besides, it was someone else in my vision..."
"The others can come, but they will stay in the carriage," Neptune said.
"Alright," Martin said.
"You should also know that you can just be a Canterlot Guard until you are ready to be a detective," Neptune said.
This caused Martin to face-palm himself for not thinking of that.
"Let's get some sleep," Neptune suggested.
"Yes, sir..." Martin went into the hallway as Mindy led the others into the guest room for their evening.
Martin and Cynthia were given a room together as Teresa and Ellie Mae were also given a room together.
"I hope these rooms will be alright during your visit," Mindy warned the others.
"They're fine, Mindy, thanks," Teresa replied as she got comfortable.
"I think Martin and Cynthia will be very comfortable," Ellie Mae smirked.
Martin and Cynthia glanced at her while blushing. Ellie Mae chuckled before going into her and Teresa's guest room. Soon Cynthia got carried into her shared guest room with her boyfriend as the one she was being carried by was Martin, which was romantic.
"How long have those two known each other," Ellie Mae asked.
"Since Fourth of July weekend," Teresa replied, knowing who she was speaking about.
"Well, practically a year, right," Ellie Mae asked.
"Yes," Teresa stretched as she got comfortable in the bed, which was shaped like a clam-shell, "you're not jealous, are you?"
"No, of course not..." Ellie Mae looked away before sighing, "I just miss Pi....he never even warned me where he moved off to."
"Too bad..." Teresa bundled up to get some sleep, "well, there are other fish in the sea...or boys on the surface......"
"Yes, I guess," Ellie Mae frowned.
Teresa shrugged as she fell asleep.
"Somewheeeeeeerrre out there~...." Ellie Mae began to sing.
"Please don't start singing," Teresa moaned.
"Well, fine..." Ellie Mae frowned back.
With that said, they all went to sleep until the next morning if they would go to a burger joint under the sea known as the Krusty Krab.
The next morning, before anyone else awakened, Martin was doing his exercises underwater and where Neptune seemed to be up for the same reason.
"What time is this," Neptune asked as he joined Martin.
"Almost 8:00," Martin replied.
"Sure just wanted to know," Neptune said before groaning as he joined his nephew in push-ups while having boulders on their backs.
Martin smirked as he continued to exercise with ease.
"Have you always exercised like this before you met Zeus and Hercules," Neptune asked curiously.
"Kind of," Martin shrugged as he now switched to doing his push-ups to hand stand push-ups by doing them with only one finger while having a boulder at the end of his tail fin.
"I haven't seen you since you were a baby," Neptune said.
"Long story about that," Martin replied as he knew why that was.
"Well, you sure have gotten strong," Neptune said as he added his own weight on top of the boulder Martin was using.
"Yes, you could say that...." Martin said before groaning slightly.
Neptune was impressed with this nephew of his as he wasn't giving up at all even with how much weight was placed on him now.
"Nice try," Martin replied.
"You remind me so much of me at your age," Neptune chuckled.
"Really? You used to exercise at 8:00 in the morning too at my age," Martin groaned.
"Well, not only that," Neptune replied, "but you get the idea. How is Atlantica by the way?"
"It's grand, thanks to me and Ariel, music got to no longer be outlawed," Martin said.
"Oh, really now," Neptune replied.
"Yes..." Martin said, "and don't worry about your crown, we'll have it back soon, I promise."
"I can't go out looking like this..." Neptune stared at his bald spot.
Martin sighed before he conjured up a brown paper bag that would be water proof.
"Genius," Neptune beamed.
Martin hid an eye roll.
Sure enough, Mindy, Teresa, Cynthia and Ellie Mae came out from their rooms. And where they each were surprised with how Martin was exercising while having breakfast.
"Stop showing off," Teresa said to her best friend.
"Oh, let the boy be," Neptune chuckled.
Teresa rolled her eyes slightly.
"We're going to the Krusty Krab soon, Mindy," Neptune warned his daughter firmly.
Mindy sighed as she didn't like where this was going. After a while, Martin got to the carriage with everyone else after getting up from push-ups. The carriage was going to a fast food restaurant, which looked like a giant lobster cage.
"Come along, Martin," Neptune said once they stopped, "stay in the coach with your other friends, Mindy, this won't take long."
"Daddy, please, I think you're overreacting," Mindy replied gently.
"Silence, Mindy, I know what I'm doing," Neptune replied.
"Watch out for the sign, Uncle Neptune," Martin said.
"What sign––" Neptune asked before smacking right into it and getting furious, "squire!"
"Yes, your highness," the fish from last night zipped over.
"Have this pole executed at once," Neptune demanded.
"Uncle Neptune, you can't have a pole executed, it'll just make you look like you've lost your mind," Martin said, "that and it'll make you look ridiculous."
"I have to agree," Ellie Mae whispered.
"Uh, never mind, squire," Neptune said before going inside with his strong nephew.
Then the squire nodded and stood in place.
"$101 for a Krabby Patty," a squid in a brown shirt with a hat asked a crab on top of a ladder as he was changing prices on the dollar menu.
"With cheese, Mr. Squidward, with cheese," the crab replied.
"Well, someone seems to love money," Martin whispered to his giant uncle, referring to the crab once he saw what the red crustacean was doing.
"Then I see," Neptune agreed and looked down to the fish folk who were at tables, "greetings, subjects, I seek the one known as Eguene Krabs."
"Please don't let it be the cheapskate crab, please don't let it be the cheapskate crab," Martin prayed silently.
"I'm Eugene Krabs, Your Highness," the crab replied with a hopeful grin to the godly merman king, "would you like to order something?"
"NAY," Neptune yelled, which summoned lightning underwater somehow. "I'm on to you, Krabs! You have stolen the royal crown, you cannot deny. For, clever as you are, you left one damning piece of evidence at the scene of the crime," he held out a paper to show the crab.
"'I stole your crown, signed Eugene Krabs'," the crab replied in shock.
"Now, now, Uncle Neptune, I wish someone else stole the crown and just placed that note in the castle just to make us think it was him," Martin said.
"Yes, you see, I didn't do it," Mr. Krabs agreed, even though he didn't know this creature.
"And who did then," Neptune frowned at his nephew.
But before anything else could be said or done, a responding machine went off.
"Ahoy, this is Eugene Krabs, leave a message," Mr. Krabs's voice said on the responding machine.
"Hi, Mr. Krabs," a voice on the machine replied, "this is Clay, the guy you sold Neptune's crown to. Yes, I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown. I sold it to a guy in Shell City, and I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown. Which is now in Shell City. Farewell."
Mr. Krabs started to get hesitant and where Martin began to try to calm down his giant uncle.
"Heh...heh...don't you just hate wrong numbers," the crab grinned anxiously to the king.
"MY CROWN IS IN THE FORBIDDEN SHELL CITY," Neptune yelled at him before shrieking out. "Ready to burn, Krabs," he held out his trident as it glowed fire underwater.
"Wait! Uncle Neptune, cool it with the fire," Martin said before actually blowing out the fire on the trident, "I wish Mr. Krabs here is a nice crustacean."
"Huh..." Neptune hummed firmly, but settled down before looking to the customers of the fast food restaurant, "very well, then. Before I turn this conniving crustacean into fish meal, who here has anything to say about Eugene Krabs?"
"I have something say about Mr. Krabs..." a walking and speaking sponge wearing pants, a tie, shoes and socks, and a straw hat on his head stumbled into the restaurant and looked rather messy and intoxicated.
"Is that an employee of yours," Martin whispered to Mr. Krabs out of concern.
"Oh, I'm in best claws now," Mr. Krabs looked relieved as the sponge wandered into the place, "SpongeBob, me boy, you've come just in time. Please, warn King Neptune all about me."
"I have worked for Mr. Krabs for many years and always thought he was a grand boss," the sponge replied with a goofy grin.
"You see," Mr. Krabs grinned anxiously to the king, "a big boss!"
"I now realize that he's a great big jerk," the sponge yelled, much to the crab's shock. "I deserve that manager's job! But you didn't give it to me, because you say I'm a boy. Well, I am 100% man! And this man has had something to say to you..." he took a deep breath and blew a big raspberry in his boss's face, once it died down, he grinned innocently, "there...I think I've made my point."
"I would say you are actually now doomed," Martin whispered.
"Anyone else? No? Well, then," King Neptune started to shoot fire on the crab.
Mr. Krabs yelled out as his pants, underpants and his entire body caught on fire and he jumped into a mop bucket to cool himself down.
"You feeling better now," Martin asked the crab.
Mr. Krabs looked relaxed, but he wouldn't be for long.
"And now, Eugene Krabs, you will--" Neptune was about to murder the crab.
"Wait," the sponge stepped in, "I'm flattered you would do this on my account, but being manager isn't worth murdering Mr. Krabs over."
"Silence, fool," Neptune frowned at the sponge, "Mr. Krabs stole my crown, and now it's in Shell City. That's why he must die."
"Don't you think you're overreacting over losing your crown," the sponge asked.
"You don't understand, my crown is a symbol of my king-like fashion," Neptune replied before dropping his voice low where only the sponge would hear, "and between you and me......my hair is thinning a bit."
"Oh, Your Highness, I wish it's not that noticeable--" the sponge replied as Neptune removed the paper bag to show his bald spot, "bald! Bald!"
The fish pointed with wide eyes and called out 'bald' as well.
"MY EYES," one fish cried out in despair.
"OK! That's it! We get it," Martin warned them all before going up to his giant uncle, "Uncle Neptune, why don't I get your crown back with the help from this sponge?"
"You two go to Shell City," Neptune called before laughing out loud and long, "no one who's gone to Shell City has ever returned. What makes you think you could? You're just a couple of children."
Martin frowned at his giant uncle before giving him a reminder of his strength as he lifted him up just by one of his giant hands.
"Woah..." the sponge looked blown off by that.
"Run along, Martin, I have a crab to cook," Neptune replied.
"No, I won't let you," the sponge stood up for the crab despite badmouthing him just moments ago.
"Very well then...." Neptune said before frowning sharply. "I'll have to fry you all," he said, including Martin in that threat.
"Daddy, stop this," Mindy barged in with Teresa, Cynthia and Ellie Mae, "can't you go through one day without executing someone?"
"Yes! Especially one that's your own nephew," Cynthia added in.
"Girls," Neptune turned to them, "I warned you all to stay in the carriage!"
"Where's your compassion," Mindy replied as she picked up the cute and innocent sponge, "look at this little tyke......he's willing to risk his life to find your crown and save his boss."
"And Martin is also risking his life so he can find your crown, besides, Martin can handle anything that Shell City can throw at him," Teresa said.
"But, girls, I--" Neptune tried gently with them.
"Please, Father," Mindy begged. "At least let them try. What have you done to lose? Might I remind you of your special problem," she then swam up to her father and removed the bag again.
"BALD! BALD!! BALD," the fish called out.
"MY EYES," the unlucky fish called once more himself.
"And he gives in in three......two...one," Penelope counted down with a smirk.
"Alright, very well, Mindy, I'll give them a chance," Neptune did give in as he put the paper back on his head, "but if your little champions fail to return, I get to splatter this crab all over the walls."
"What," Krabs panicked.
"I'm going with Martin and the sponge as well," Teresa agreed, "I know it'll be brutal, but I'm up for it."
"Very well, as for you, be back with my crown in exactly ten days," Neptune demanded.
"They can do it at nine," a starfish burst up.
"Eight," Neptune argued.
"Seven," the starfish frowned back.
"PATRICK," the sponge and crab jumped on the starfish to shut him up.
"Six that is then," Neptune grinned smugly.
"Five..." the starfish gasped as the crab choked him.
"Patrick, silence," the sponge whispered louder to the starfish.
"Please, if you value your life, please stop speaking," Martin added.
"Until then, the crab shall remain frozen where he now stands," Neptune pointed his trident to the crab.
"No, wait, I'm begging you," Mr. Krabs called before he was instantly frozen solid.
"Who turned on the AC," the squid asked before gasping and running to the frozen crab, "Mr. Krabs! Oh, dear, this is horrible! Who's going to sign my paycheck?"
"Seriously," Martin asked the squid annoyed.
"Kinda reminds me of myself..." Teresa mumbled.
"Come along, Mindy," Neptune demanded.
"Listen, you guys, the road to Shell City is really dangerous," Mindy warned the adventurers, "there's crooks, murderers and monsters everywhere. And what's worse, there's a giant Cyclops who guards the outskirts of the city and preys on innocent sea creatures. Don't let him catch you, because if he does, he'll take you back to his lair, and you'll never be seen again."
"She's pretty, SpongeBob~" the starfish said as he looked like he was in love with the mermaid princess.
"Don't worry, Mindy, I'll be able to handle any crooks or monsters or bad guys and especially any cyclops's that might try to capture us," Martin said, flexing his muscles, "I'm the strongest person in the universe."
"Here, take this," Mindy handed a bag.
"What's in here," the sponge asked before opening the bag and wind blew in his face.
"It's a magical bag of winds," Mindy explained, "I stole them from my father."
"You're hot," the starfish smiled.
"Once you find the crown, open the bag of winds and you'll be blown back home," Mindy instructed.
"Sure, thanks for the help, Mindy," Martin grinned.
"No problem," Mindy grinned back.
"Mindy," Neptune called for his daughter.
"I'm a-coming," Mindy called back to her father before turning back, "farewell, SpongeBob."
"Wait, how do you know my name," the sponge asked.
"Oh, I'm gonna be queen of the sea one day," Mindy grinned, "I've learned the names of all the sea creatures."
"What's my name," the starfish asked her to test what she knew.
"That's easy," Mindy replied, "you're Patrick Star."
"Where have I heard these names before," Martin asked.
"Drug induced hallucinations," Teresa shrugged.
"Mindy," Neptune called again.
"I must go," Mindy said before going home with her father, "I believe in you guys!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Krabs, your life is in nice hands," Martin assured the frozen crustacean.
"He's right," SpongeBob added in, "these guys, Patrick, Squidward and I––––"
"Pass..." the squid walked out the door and left his hat behind.
"Uh, these guys, Patrick and I––––" SpongeBob tried again.
"Hi," the starfish waved.
"Are we gonna get that crown back and save you from Neptune's wrath," SpongeBob continued, "you have nothing to worry about. Your life is in our hands."
Mr. Krabs glanced at the sponge and starfish before rolling his eyes and feeling doomed.
"Then how do we get to Shell City without swimming," Teresa asked.
"Come with me, new friends," SpongeBob said to them and took them into a secret room under the kitchen of the restaurant.
"Lead the road," Martin said as he followed him.
SpongeBob took them under the kitchen, through, an elevator and down to a dimly lit garage. "Feast your eyes, guys."
"What is this," Patrick asked.
"The Patty Wagon," SpongeBob showed them a car that was in the shape of a burger, "Mr. Krabs uses it for promotional reasons. Let me show you some of its features. Sesame-seed finish, steel-belted pickles, grilled-leather interior. And under the hood, a fuel-injected french-fryer with dual overhead grease traps."
"Those actually power the entire fact," Martin asked.
"Yes," SpongeBob replied.
"Wow," Ellie Mae commented.
"Yes, wow," SpongeBob nodded as he shut the bun hood and got into the driver's seat.
"Hey, I thought you didn't have a driver's license," Patrick said to the sponge.
"You don't need a license to drive a sandwich," SpongeBob replied as he took out a spatula, which was also the car's thing.
"Well, alright then," Martin said as he got in.
They all got into the Patty Wagon and busted out of the diner and were now going down the road.
"Shell City, here we come," SpongeBob and Patrick cheered.
"And bad guys and monsters, you better watch out," Martin cheered.
"Huh..." Ellie Mae was thinking about going or not, she wasn't sure right now.
Cynthia was in the same boat.
"Stop the car," Ellie Moe said.
SpongeBob stopped and looked to the mice. "What's wrong?"
"We're coming with," Cynthia said.
"Are you sure," Patrick asked.
"Yes, it might be dangerous," SpongeBob agreed, "you heard what Princess Mindy said."
"Oh, please, we've faced worse facts before," Cynthia said.
"My dad," Ellie Mae grinned sheepishly.
"And much worse," Martin said.
"She already said her dad, Martin," Teresa commented.
"Perhaps one of us should stay here and keep an eye on town while you guys go on your adventure," Cynthia suggested.
"I guess I could, I could hang out with Mindy then," Ellie Mae decided.
"Yes," SpongeBob said.
"See ya, Ellie Mae," Martin said.
Ellie Mae got out of the Patty Wagon and went to King Neptune's castle as Cynthia joined the sponge, starfish and her friends to get the crown.
"Luckily, this spell lasts a week on non-mercreatures and we have six days to get the crown back," Cynthia said as they were on their newest adventure.
"But aren't some of us part mer-person," Teresa asked.
"Anyhow, let's hit the road," Martin said.
SpongeBob and Patrick nodded as they drove the Patty Wagon and took their new friends where they could get the crown to save Mr. Krabs.
Unknown to anyone, a certain plankton had eventually stole the Krabby Patty secret formula.
"Ding-a-ling, hey there, old buddy, freeze," the plankton taunted the frozen crustacean. "One secret formula to go, please. No, no, don't damage yourself. I'll get it. Well, I'd like to hang around, but I've had Krabby Patties to make...over at the Chum Bucket," he picked up a bottle with a paper inside as he danced in victory as he eventually found what he had always wanted, "plan Z, I love you."
Mr. Krabs had a frozen tear drop to the floor as Plankton got away with the formula at last.
Meanwhile, back with SpongeBob, Patrick and the others......
The sponge and starfish sang a kiddie song about being 'Goofy Goobers'.
Teresa, Martin and Cynthia looked slightly annoyed by the song, but at last, they came up to a gas station to stop, which also stopped the song.
"Fill her up, please," SpongeBob said as they stopped the Patty Wagon.
"What'll it be, boys," one hick fish asked. "Mustard or ketchup," he and his friend laughed out loud and long as they rocked on their rocking chairs.
"Would you just fill up this fact," Martin frowned.
"Are they laughing at us," the starfish frowned.
"No, Patrick, they're laughing next to us," SpongeBob replied to his best friend.
"Where are you dumb-headed children headed any matter," one of the hick fish asked the adventurers.
"CHILDREN," Patrick frowned.
"May I please punch them," Martin asked, clenching his fists.
"No, no, let me handle this," SpongeBob replied, but looked maturely to the hick fish, "for your information, we are not children. We are men. And we're away to get King Neptune's crown in Shell City."
"Shell City," the hick fish asked, slightly afraid.
"Ain't that the place that's guarded by a murderous cyclops," one of the fish asked.
"The very same," Cynthia said.
"Lloyd, take off your hat in respect," one fish said as he removed his hat and bowed his head and shut his eyes before laughing again, "respect for the dead!"
Then the two hick fish laughed out loud and long again.
"You two dipsticks ain't gonna last ten seconds over the county line," the first hick fish mocked the adventurers.
"Martin, you may punch them now," Cynthia said, approving of Martin's request.
Martin cracked his knuckles. "With pleasure."
"Now, now, let's try to be civilized here, we'll show them..." SpongeBob said before driving past the county line to see a thug fish, who looked rather aggressive.
"Out of the car, fellas," the thug fish demanded.
"Not on your life," Martin fronwed back at the thug fish.
"Now," the thug fish growled.
SpongeBob and Patrick did so as warned, however.
"Try to steal this Patty Wagon and you'll be in a lot of pain," Martin threatened the thug fish.
The thug fish frowned back, but caught Martin and threw him out with Teresa and Cynthia, got into the Patty Wagon and drove away with it.
"Get back here," Martin frowned, "oh, if we see him again, I'm gonna show him a fact or two."
"How many seconds was that," SpongeBob asked the hick fish.
One of the fish checked his watch. "Twelve."
"IN YOUR FACE," SpongeBob and Patrick mocked before getting back at the hick fish by laughing at them now.
"May I be the first to say that these two are idiots," Teresa whispered to Cynthia and Martin.
"I don't blame you...." Cynthia whispered back.
"Same here," Martin also whispered.
"C'mon, guys, we might as well get going," Teresa said to the starfish and sponge.
"Yes, we've had a long fashion to go," Martin said.
"Don't worry, it can't be that far," Teresa replied as they started to go down the road, passing the Bikini Bottom county line.
"We might need to carry them if they get tired," Cynthia said.
"Sure..." Martin rolled his eyes about that.
With that said, they all went down the road and it did seem to take a rather long time.
Meanwhile, in Neptune's castle.....
Mindy and Ellie Mae were watching a news video on Mindy's laptop.
"Perch Perkins here with an incredible news flash," a news fish reported. "Plankton is selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. How is this possible? Let's find out," he went inside the diner.
"Wait, what," Ellie Mae asked out of shock.
"This isn't right," Mindy didn't like the sound of this at all.
"Step right up," Plankton was shown with customers inside of his fast food place as everyone was eating the most delicious burgers in all of the sea, "plenty for everybody!"
"He stole the secret formula," Ellie Mae frowned.
"How did he get the formula," Mindy folded her arms.
"Excuse me, Plankton, Perch Perkins, Bikini Bottom News," the news fish came up to the plankton in charge of the Chum Bucket, "can I get a moment?"
"Anything for you, Perch~" Plankton beamed to him.
"All of Bikini Bottom wants to know, how did you get the Krabby Patty," the fish queried.
"Well, Perch, before my dear friend Eugene Krabs was frozen by King Neptune...I'm sorry," he said before his voice broke and he made up a sob story to make himself look nice, but unlike Ellie Mae and Mindy, everyone else fell for it. "He confided in me a secret wish. 'Sell the Krabby Patty in my absence at the Chum Bucket,' he said, 'don't let the flame die out'," he started to weep before brightening up instantly and took out a bucket to use as a hat, "by the way, act now and you get a free Chum Bucket bucket helmet with every purchase. Here you go, Perch."
"I bet he stole the secret formula while Mr. Krabs was frozen," Ellie Mae frowned.
"That's a very nice guess," Mindy frowned back, "he's been trying to steal the formula from Mr. Krabs forever...I just wonder why he's giving everyone bucket helmets..."
"There has to be a reason behind that..." Ellie Mae looked thoughtful as well.
"You can go and do some spying if you want," Mindy said.
"Spying is my middle name..." Ellie Mae smirked as she looked eager about that idea.
"Then go ahead," Mindy said.
"Alright," Ellie Mae got off the couch, "let me know if anything changes...I just wish your dad could do something instead of obsessing with his bald spot."
"Trust me, I wish for the same fact," Mindy said.
"See you later," Ellie Mae said before leaving.
Mindy nodded as she decided to stay back in case of emergency. Then Ellie Mae teleported to the Chum Bucket. Mindy stayed behind as she let her rodent pen pal do some work.
"Karen, baby, I haven't felt this giddy since the day you agreed to be my wife," Plankton said as he came into a laboratory-like fashion to see a large computer screen.
"I never agreed," the computer replied in deadpan.
Ellie Mae seemed to have teleported to far as she was now inside the laboratory, but hid where she wouldn't be seen.
"Evil Plan Z is working perfectly," Plankton grinned darkly, "nothing can stop me now."
'That's what you think,' Ellie Mae firmly thought to herself.
"Nothing except SpongeBob and his pink friend with those unusual mermaids I've never seen before," Karen replied before showing the adventurers on her monitor screen to show her plankton husband, "my sensors indicate that they're going after the crown. If they make it back, Neptune might discover some fingerprints. Tiny fingerprints. Stubby, tiny fingerprints."
'That's right,' Ellie Mae thought to herself with a smirk.
"Evil Plan Z is way ahead of you, baby," Plankton warned his computer wife, "I've already hired someone to take care of these two. He's a vicious, cold-blooded predator!"
"Ooh, this is bad..." Ellie Mae gulped.
"We'll see," Karen said.
Ellie Mae was sure Martin could take on whoever Plankton intended on sending after the adventurers.
Meanwhile, with SpongeBob and the others as he and Patrick were being carried by Martin as they were both getting tired...
The two were rambling weakly together as they were being carried by the strong mer-boy.
"Are we there yet?" Patrick moaned.
"No, not yet," Martin moaned.
"We must be close by now......" SpongeBob said, but instantly cheered up. "Guys, look," he pointed to a sign that was right in front of them, "Shell City's only five days off!"
Then the wind blew apart of a leaf that was on the sign.
"By car..." Patrick added lightly.
"Oh, you have to be joking me," Martin exclaimed.
"I yet wish we had our car..." SpongeBob moped.
"Guys, look," Teresa pointed and found the Patty Wagon parked in front of a beat-up bar, "it's the car!"
"Wahoo! Let's get it and drive the rest of the road," Cynthia said.
They rushed to the car, but unfortunately...
"The key," SpongeBob frowned.
"Where do you guys think that is," Patrick asked.
Then a fish was kicked through one of the bar's windows and landed next to SpongeBob, Patrick, Teresa, Martin and Cynthia, with many broken bones and a painfully twitchy leg.
"I think I have an idea where," Martin said as he looked inside.
The others came behind him as they looked inside the bar through a broken window. The inside was a disaster. Everything was cracked or splintered, and the dim lights made everything look red. 'R.I.P.' is written in spray paint on a wall with a dead or knocked out fish below it. Then they saw the Boat Jacker playing pool with the key hooked onto his belt.
"There it is, guys, the key, now, how're we gonna get it," SpongeBob asked.
"I know," Patrick grinned simply, "walk in and ask for it back."
"I have a much faster road of getting it back," Martin said, cracking his knuckles.
SpongeBob was about to say that was a horrible idea, but then he heard some more fighting inside the night club and where it seemed like that was how the thug fish there had to settle facts.
"How about someone distracts them and one of us gets the key," Teresa suggested.
"Ooh! Ooh! Wait," Patrick piped up, "I wanna do the distraction!"
"I think Martin should do the distracting instead," Cynthia suggested.
"Aw, pleeeease," Patrick begged.
Martin sighed and rolled his eyes. "Well, fine, if it'll keep you silent."
"Yay," Patrick cheered.
"If the distraction doesn't work, we are going with getting the key back by force," Cynthia whispered.
"Right," Teresa agreed.
Martin rolled his eyes and came into the bar with the starfish.
"Can I have everybody's attention," Patrick called as he stood past the strong mer-boy.
All the thug fish turned their heads to the idiot starfish and strong mer-boy's direction to see what Patrick had to say. Martin looked ready to fight just in case they tried anything.
"I have to use the bathroom," Patrick warned the fish.
"It's, uhh...right over there..." the Boat Jacker pointed in one direction before looking down to see the sponge trying to reach for the key.
"Foolish contacts," SpongeBob looked around for an imaginary eye contact. "Oh, there it is, I better go wash it apart," he zipped away to the bathroom.
"Alright, looks like that didn't work," Cynthia whispered with a moan, "time for getting the key back by force."
SpongeBob ran off into the bathroom with Patrick to wash his hands. Teresa decided to make sure they would come back in one piece.
"Somehow I knew this would happen..." Martin face-palmed the starfish's foolishness.
"Alright, Martin, it's time to use violence to get the key back," Cynthia whispered to her boyfriend.
Martin nodded as he looked ready.
"Guys, stop this," Teresa panicked from inside the bathroom as SpongeBob and Patrick were heard laughing.
"You better get started now," Cynthia said before she burst a bubble that seemed to have escaped from the bathroom.
"WHO BLEW THAT BUBBLE," the rough bartender growled.
"It's just a bubble, sir..." Cynthia grinned anxiously.
"YOU ALL KNOW THE RULES," the bartender looked to the others in the bar.
"All bubble-blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able-bodied patron in the bar," the fish recited.
"Oh, boy," Martin rolled his eyes.
"THAT'S RIGHT," the bartender roared, "WELL, WHO BLEW IT?!"
No one responded and it was now dead silent.
"Well...nobody knows...." the bartender frowned.
"Perhaps it was––––" one wise guy spoke up.
"SHUT UP," the bartender threw a chair at him, "somebody in here ain't a real man."
"Look, no one in here blew a bubble," Cynthia sighed.
"We're on a baby hunt and don't think we don't know how to weed them out..." the bartender frowned at her, not caring if she was a girl, "now, everybody line up! DJ! Time for the test."
The DJ nodded and played a certain song.
"No baby can exist singing along to this," the bartender replied aggressively.
"Oh, SpongeBob and Patrick are doomed," Martin whispered.
"Well, at least we'll be spared," Teresa sounded hesitant.
"This is ridiculous," Cynthia sighed.
The bartender checked each of the guests one-by-one. Martin, Cynthia and Teresa looked bored and annoyed with the song. SpongeBob and Patrick looked like they could crack and break down singing the Goofy Goober song any moment now.
"Just stay calm, you two," Cynthia whispered.
SpongeBob and Patrick just had damage. The bartender noticed this and tried to make them crack. The sponge and starfish took deep breaths, but however....
"GOOFY GOOFY GOOBERS GOOBERS, YES," two other voices yelled out.
"Sounds like SpongeBob and Patrick got saved," Teresa whispered.
"Well, well, well," the bartender laughed and came to the conjoined twins, "which one of you babies was it?"
"It was him! He did it! I've never even eaten at...goofy, goofy, goober, goobers, yes," the conjoined twins replied before covering each other's mouths since they sang the theme song together.
"Well, looks like we found ourselves a double baby," the bartender grinned darkly before cracking his knuckles with the others to beat the conjoined twins senseless.
"Let's get out of here faster," Cynthia whispered.
The others nodded and sneaked out of the bar.
"What about the key," SpongeBob asked.
"Lookie what I found," Patrick showed that he somehow had the key with him now.
"But how," Cynthia asked.
"Csendes, let's just go," Martin suggested as the bar fish were yet beating up the conjoined twins.
Then the group silently got into the Patty Wagon. With that said, they went back on the road to continue their journey.
"It should be smooth sailing now," Cynthia grinned.
"We can at least hope so," Teresa said as she looked out the window as the sponge drove them off by the bar.
"I know so," Martin said.
After a while, the two best friends up front were laughing about their escapade in the Thug Tug. Teresa, Martin and Cynthia fell asleep in the back, but soon they awakened from the sudden bumpy road and also felt hungry.
"Man, I'm hungry," Teresa said.
"It's been a while since we last ate..." Cynthia agreed as she held her stomach.
"Hey, look, free ice cream," Patrick pointed ahead.
"Free ice cream," Martin asked confused.
"Oh, boy," SpongeBob stopped the car and ran to collect the ice cream.
Teresa and Cynthia went after him since they were very hungry. Martin decided to come as well since he was also hungry.
"How you doing," Patrick grinned to a skull, but did a double take. "Wait a moment....wait a moment," he saw more skulls and called out as the sponge and mer-teens went to the concession stand, "GUYS!!!"
"Yes," SpongeBob and the teens turned to the starfish.
"Make mine a chocolate," Patrick called back.
"Alright," Martin called back.
"Five please," SpongeBob said to the old woman behind her refreshment stand.
"Certainly," the woman replied and took out a couple of sundaes big enough for all of them, "you children enjoy."
"Thank you, ma'am," Cynthia said.
"Uh, actually, ma'am, Patrick and I are men------" SpongeBob said. "Alright, Patrick, let's--" he saw that the woman yet held onto the ice cream, "you can let go now. I said, let go, please. What is this? What kind of old lady are you?"
Martin decided to test his theory about this lady by karate chopping her and where his karate chop showed the old lady was a fake. Her clothes burst apart and so did her hair and glasses.
"Eww..." SpongeBob winced.
A huge frog fish came out of the ground, revealing that the old woman was its tongue.
"I suggest we get back to the wagon," Cynthia said.
The frog fish tried to eat them.
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM," Teresa yelped as she swam right back for the Patty Wagon.
Soon Martin and Cynthia joined her. SpongeBob fell into the Patty Wagon with them.
"Did you get the ice cream," Patrick asked.
The frog fish monster roared and was now about to chase after them.
"Faster, step on it, Patrick," Cynthia warned him.
Patrick drove the Patty Wagon at top speed apart from the frog fish, which is in hot pursuit, as he and the others shrieked for dear life.
"Martin, please get rid of that fact," Cynthia begged.
Martin took a stand as the frog fish tried to chase them.
"C'mon, jockos, have some ice cream," the old woman came back in disguise.
SpongeBob and Patrick shrieked out of fear, not believing that anymore.
"I'll let you pet Mr. Whiskers," the old woman added in.
Then a vein came out in the shape of a cat and even eerily meowed. Martin shuddered before using all of his strength in one punch as he uppercut the frog fish, sending it flying. The frog fish was moved up really faster.
"Nice one, Martin," SpongeBob cheered.
"Thanks, SpongeBob," Martin cheered back.
The frog fish came back down and was trying to eat them.
"Aw, c'mon," Martin complained.
"We're gonna have to jump," Cynthia yelped.
"Alright," Teresa said.
"Someone's calm about jumping," Martin commented.
Teresa merely shrugged. With that said, they all jumped out of the Patty Wagon and the frog fish caught the car in his tongue which made it grin, only for it to get viciously devoured by an even bigger and hungrier monster from the nearby trench.
"Wow..." Martin said.
"Well, we lost our car again......" SpongeBob frowned.
"Never mind the car, where's the road," Patrick asked before repeating the last word over and over like an echo, "road, road, road, road, road, road, road, r--"
"Enough," Martin said.
"I'm sorry," Patrick replied.
"There must be a fashion to get across this trench," Cynthia said.
"There's the road..." SpongeBob pointed as they looked down the trench hesitantly, "on the other side of this deep...dark...dangerous..."
"Hazardous," Patrick said after seeing a fire shoot up.
"Hazardous..." SpongeBob repeated hesitantly.
"Monster-Infested," Patrick added in after he saw a tentacle.
"Yes, monster-infested," SpongeBob gulped as she shivered in fear, "trench."
"And how do we get across this trench," Cynthia asked.
"Hey, look, guys, there's a road down," Patrick found a set of stairs.
"Well, we're not gonna get the crown standing here, onto Shell City," Patrick said as he took a step which made a monster gnarl noise, but he stepped again which made the noise, but he grinned and did it over and over and chuckled in amusement, "hey, look, it's making noise."
SpongeBob started to walk off.
"SpongeBob, where are you going," Teresa asked.
"I'm going home, guys," SpongeBob replied softly.
"But what about Mr. Krabs," Cynthia reminded him of their mission.
"What about us? Me and Patrick'll never survive in that trench," SpongeBob replied emotionally, "he said it himself, this is man's country. And let's face it, guys...Pat and I are just children."
"And what's the matter with that," Cynthia asked.
"Yes, we're not children," Patrick defended.
"OPEN YOUR EYES, PATRICK," SpongeBob had a meltdown, "we blow bubbles, we eat ice cream. We worship a dancing peanut, for corn's sake! We don't belong out here!"
"We do not worship him," Patrick frowned at his best friend.
Then SpongeBob pulled down his best friend's shorts to show a pair of underpants with dancing peanuts on them. "Patrick, you've been wearing the same Goofy Goober Peanut Party underpants for three years straight!"
"That is disturbing," Martin said.
"What do you call that," SpongeBob asked Patrick.
"Disgustingly disturbing," Teresa deadpanned.
"Worship..." Patrick started to weep. "You're right, SpongeBob. We are friends, aren't we," he ran away with his shorts around his legs before falling flat on the road.
"Pull your pants up, Patrick, we're going home," SpongeBob said softly.
"But you can't go home," a familiar voice called out.
"Mindy," Martin asked, looking to see the mermaid princess had swam all the road to them with Ellie Mae.
"Mindy," Patrick grew hesitant and tried to pull his shorts up.
"How much did you hear," SpongeBob asked her.
"I heard enough," Mindy replied.
"Did you see my underwear," Patrick asked.
"No, Patrick," Mindy replied.
"Did you want to," Patrick asked, about to pull down his shorts.
"Patrick," Ellie Mae scolded.
"Look, guys, you may be children, but you're the only ones left who can get that crown," Mindy said to the others.
"What do you mean the only ones left," Teresa asked, "what happened to the town?"
"Facts have gotten a lot worse since you left Bikini Bottom," Mindy took out a magical clam shell to show the others, "or should I say, Planktopolis?"
"Planktopolis," Martin asked, confused.
"That plankton dude's taken over Bikini Bottom," Ellie Mae said.
They all could see that Bikini Bottom was being enslaved by Plankton as they all wore bucket helmets over their heads and they all chanted 'All Hail, Plankton'.
"No resting," Plankton warned the enslaved citizens, "this monument celebrating my glory isn't gonna build itself. Move faster!"
"This is horrible," Cynthia frowned.
"Oh, my heavens! Patrick, look! Plankton's turned everyone we know into slaves," SpongeBob looked in horror as he saw several figures he knew back home such as a squid, what looked like a squirrel in a spacesuit, a blow fish using a pick-axe, and even a snail pulling a large stone by force. "Squidward, Sandy, Mrs. Puff, even Gary," he looked to the mermaid princess.
"Can't Uncle Neptune do something," Martin asked his other mermaid cousin.
"My father's too distracted by his bald spot to do anything," Mindy replied as she showed King Neptune with the squire as he had a hair growing spray, which failed from the king's impatience and the hair grew in his eye sockets.
"Oh, my..." Cynthia said.
"Well, you see, you can't quit," Ellie Mae encouraged the starfish and sponge, "the fate of Bikini Bottom rests in your hands."
"But...but we're just---" SpongeBob tried to explain.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you're children, what's so wrong with being a boy, anyhow? Children rule," Mindy replied before coming between the two best friends. "You don't need to be a man to do this. You just must believe in yourself. You just must believe," she swam up to the surface briefly in a melodic tone in her voice.
"She's right," Martin said.
"I believe..." SpongeBob started.
"That's the ticket," Cynthia grinned to the sponge.
"I believe that....everyone I know is a goner," SpongeBob said before weeping.
Then Patrick wept with him.
"Oh, for the love of peat! Martin, Cynthia, we might as well go get the crown since these two are acting like babies," Teresa said.
"C'mon, give SpongeBob and Patrick a chance," Mindy said.
"I don't care, they're just a bunch of babies," Teresa moaned, "they'll die out here if they last any longer!"
"I hate to say it, Mindy, but Teresa's had a nice point," Ellie Mae said.
"Thank you," Teresa narrowed her eyes.
Mindy didn't want to leave SpongeBob and Patrick out, she yet believed in them, even if the two were bawling irritatingly for what seemed like an eternity, but she seemed to have an idea. "Yup, I guess you're right, a couple of children could never survive this journey," she said which made the sponge and starfish stopped weeping, "that's why I guess I'll just have to turn you into men."
"Is she actually going to lie to them," Cynthia whispered.
"It seems like it," Martin whispered back, "as far as I know, Uncle Neptune or Aunt Amphitrite don't have any magic."
"I thought all mermaids had magic," Teresa looked confused to her best friend with that piece of exposition.
This gave Martin an idea.
"Um, Mindy, do you mind if I used my magic to turn them into men," Martin asked his cousin.
"Yes, our mermaid magic~" Mindy said ominously.
"Mermaid Magic," Ellie Mae deadpanned.
Mindy silenced her.
"Did you hear that, Patrick," SpongeBob beamed to his best friend, "they'll use their mermaid magic to turn us into men!"
"Yes, that's right," Martin grinned, "um, Mindy, you might wanna stand back for this where the spell won't backfire."
"If you say so," Mindy shrugged with a grin.
"We're gonna be men! We're gonna be rich! We're gonna be dead," SpongeBob and Patrick jumped up and down in emotion with each other.
"SpongeBob, Patrick, for this to work, you both will have to stay silent and have your eyes closed," Martin said.
Then the sponge and starfish did so as he said.
"Are we men yet," SpongeBob asked.
"No, not yet," Martin said before starting to recite a spell.
After reciting the spell, it hit the sponge and starfish and where they both were turned into strong older versions of themselves.
"Alright, guys, you can open your eyes now," Martin said.
The two opened their eyes.
"I don't feel any----" SpongeBob looked around, but spotted his best friend, "oh, my heavens, Patrick, you've gotten big and strong!"
"So have you," Patrick pointed back.
"Yes, this spell will wear apart if we get back in Bikini Bottom," Martin said.
"But now that you're men, can you make it to Shell City," Mindy asked the sponge and starfish.
SpongeBob and Patrick were too busy adoring their new looks to respond that question.
"Guys," Mindy called, which made them pay attention, "I said, now that you're men, can you make it to Shell City?"
"Heck, yes," SpongeBob and Patrick grinned.
"Are men afraid of anything," Mindy asked.
"Heck, no," SpongeBob and Patrick replied.
"And why," Mindy asked.
"Because we're invincible," SpongeBob and Patrick said before jumping into the trench instead of climbing down the stairs.
"They're right about that last part, but that last part I never warned them that," Martin said before following after SpongeBob and Patrick.
Then Teresa and Cynthia followed after.
"Farewell," Mindy called down.
"You'll need it," Ellie Mae added in.
As they fell, SpongeBob and Patrick did some hard moves.
"SpongeBob, Patrick, would you mind warning me why you both jumped instead of using the stairs," Martin asked calmly as he reached them.
"Bec--well..." Patrick paused to think about it, but he didn't know what to say and neither did his best friend.
Then the two started to shriek until a branch caught them and broke their fall and they landed safely on the ground.
"Alright, you two you can stop shrieking, you're safe on the ground," Martin said.
"Are we dead," Patrick asked.
"No," Martin said.
"Far from it, my friend," SpongeBob grinned to his best friend, "we're safe and sound at the bottom of this trench. The muscles worked! Do you know what that means?"
"We're invincible," Patrick beamed.
Martin sighed, but decided to let the two have their moment. "Ready to go, girls," he asked Teresa and Cynthia.
"Yes," Cynthia and Teresa nodded.
"Let's go then," Martin said.
Then Teresa and Cynthia followed him, Patrick and SpongeBob as they came into the monstrous trench.
"There's nothing that can stop us now," SpongeBob grinned.
Then there was music playing.
"They're gonna sing now," Teresa sounded unfortunate.
"Yes," Martin moaned.
"Why," Teresa sounded miserable.
Martin conjured up ear plugs the three of them. SpongeBob and Patrick sang a song about being men as they were avoiding the monsters with ease. And where nothing seemed to hurt them.
Teresa, Martin and Cynthia carefully followed the sponge and starfish. One monster disguised his hand as the road and was about to eat them all, until...SpongeBob and Patrick did random dance moves which presented the monsters, but they just watched the show instead of eating the five of them all alive.
"Well, this is happening," Cynthia said.
"I wanna say something, but I don't know what to say," Teresa blinked.
"Same here," Martin said.
"Please stop soon..." Teresa begged.
Then SpongeBob and Patrick stopped, which made the monsters cheer for them and befriend the sponge and starfish.
"Alright, they are done singing," Martin said.
The monsters sang as well. Teresa rolled her eyes and they climbed up the steps on the other side of the trench.
"Eventually, we made it," Cynthia said, but saw a sign, "'Shell City dead ahead'!"
"We did it, guys," SpongeBob cheered, "we made it past everything! Even the hideous, disgusting monsters!"
The monsters overheard that, but left as they had their feelings hurt by that exclamation.
"Uh, not you guys," SpongeBob tried to cheer them up, "you guys are awesome!"
"Well, looks like we should be there by just a few more steps," Cynthia grinned.
"Well, Patrick, we should be there in one more verse," SpongeBob said before singing again, "now that we're men~----"
Cynthia, Teresa and Martin moaned to that. But before the reprise could begin...
"Eventually," a dark voice said, "I've had you right where I want you."
"Uh, who are you," Cynthia asked the dark voice.
"Name's Dennis," the rough guy fish replied as he stepped over, "I've been hired to exterminate you."
"You mean terminate us," Teresa asked.
"Don't contradict me," Dennis yelled in her face, blowing her hair back slightly.
"You are here to terminate us, right," Martin smirked, unimpressed with this guy.
SpongeBob and Patrick even laughed.
"Listen, junior, you caught me and my friends here in a nice mood today, where I'm gonna let you off with a warning," SpongeBob smirked smugly, "step aside, and you won't have to feel the awesome wrath of our muscles."
"Alright, enough gab," Dennis challenged.
"What have you done with us," Cynthia asked.
"Plankton was very specific," Dennis replied.
"Plankton," SpongeBob asked.
"For some reason, he wanted me to step on you all," Dennis informed.
"Step on us," Patrick asked.
"Yes, that fashion you'd never find out HE stole the crown," Dennis explained.
"You do realize that you just revealed who really stole my Uncle Neptune's crown, right," Martin asked with a smirk.
"Naughty guys are so dumb....." Teresa agreed.
"Uh, maybe I said too much..." Dennis replied, slightly hesitant at first, but raised his boot high over them to squash them.
"Wow, nice spikes," Martin smirked before starting to bend the spikes on Dennis's boot to frighten him away.
"That's one big boot...." Patrick replied.
"Don't worry, this will only hurt a lot, and GET OFF OF THESE," Dennis frowned at Martin.
"Who's gonna make me," Martin frowned back.
"Go, Martin," SpongeBob cheered.
Martin growled and was about to lunge out for Dennis, but then a big boot came down and stepped on Dennis right there and then.
"Woah, how'd you do that, Martin," Teresa asked.
"I didn't," Martin said.
"Bigger boot," Patrick started to run off.
"Wait, Pat," SpongeBob stopped him, "that bigger boot saved our lives!"
"Ohh, yes," Patrick grinned.
"Thank you, stranger," SpongeBob and Patrick grinned to the bigger boot.
They looked up to their savior, only to get no response from him.
"Uhh...stranger," SpongeBob asked.
The figure was a scuba diver and he looked rather aggressive and hostile towards the sea creatures below him.
"This guy must be the cyclops," Martin said.
"Martin, do your fact with this guy," Cynthia said.
"Alright, guy, you asked for this...." Martin cracked his knuckles at the 'cyclops', "I'm not afraid of you!"
The cyclops was about to reach down and pick them up, but then Martin used his magic and he was now slightly bigger than the Cyclops himself, making him hesitant while the now giant strong mer-boy smirked. The cyclops backed up slightly. Then Martin jumped after the cyclops and started to beat him up.
"Whoo! Go, Martin," SpongeBob and Patrick cheered.
Martin laughed, but then something changed. Then the cyclops caught Martin, which made him somehow shrink down and then he caught the others, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across Shell City. The next fact everyone knew, they were on the surface and they dried up and died. The End.
Jesse, Lex, Tim, Eloise and Jenny gasped, hearing the frustrated Cyclops shout his name.
"Lindley," Riley yelped, "did you all die?!"
An older Rae smirked slightly. "Just joking..."
"Whew, then Dad didn't actually somehow shrink back down to normal size and actually got to defeat the cyclops, right," Jesse asked hopefully.
"Well, something happened to us......" Rae said, "I don't really remember what, but the next fact we knew, we were washed up on the ocean shore...I just can't remember what just happened, but we ended up on the surface and were of course our human forms again, but SpongeBob and Patrick were about to suffer a very deathly fate."
