Spongebob Squarepants - The Main Course

== Before you read: ==
This is a supposed finished retake of Tanner’s upcoming take on The Main Coruspe (Originally published by Elyjah6)
=== Introduction ===
My friend and I were at his house, playing Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Xbox gaming system. We would always play that game together whenever I went over at his house. However this time would be different…
When I went to his house, he told me that he wanted to come with him to search for old video tapes from the past. I’d agreed with him and we both went down to his basement, where the tapes were stored. 
He went to a drawer and pulled out a big box full of tapes from his past. There were a couple of movies I used to own that were his, mostly movies that were produced by Columbia Pictures, Lionsgate, Warner Bros, etc. However, during my searching, I managed to find a Spongebob VHS, a one I've been wanting for quite awhile. Plus I’ve been saving up my money online to buy this specific tape on eBay. 
I asked him if I could keep it, he fortunately said yes, but told me that there was something cursed in the tape, yet I didn’t believe him at first. He told me that I’ll see for myself soon. Eventually I got to keep the tape for myself, but little did I know, what he said would soon come true.
I went home after playing some more Xbox with my friend. It was 12:38am, and at the time I didn’t feel tired enough to go to sleep, so I thought of watching some Spongebob. What I mean by that was the tape that my friend gave me. 
So I grabbed out my VCR player and hooked it up to my TV. Once that happened it turned my TV on along with the VCR and connected to it so I could insert the tape inside the VCR and begin watching. 
The tape would show a black screen for a few 15 seconds before the usual promos and trailers that were shown on the tape;
* Mad Hot Bathroom Trailer
* Video preview for Rugrats Tales from the Crib: Snow White
* Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events Trailer
* Video preview for The Fairly Oddparents
* Video previews for Spongebob Squarepants 
* Promo for Tak The Great Juju Challenge Video Game
However, during some of the previews, I could make up flashing images of far disturbing pictures of gruesome crime scenes, disturbing symbols that mentions some things I can’t describe here. And there were flashing words that described as;
V YOUR MEES
TO
PRAISE
TO OUR LORD
█████
It was scary at first, but thinking about what my friend said a while ago, I knew something was wrong. 
Unexpectedly, the Paramount Feature Presentation started, but was the same encounter from my Wereclock experience a week ago. Except for the loud static noise when the ‘Feature Presentation’ text zoomed in, it instead stayed there for three seconds before suddenly zooming in at a rapid pace, and flashing a biohazard symbol in a pinkish background, and flashing images of blood and gore, as a loud and deep buzzing sound erupted from my speakers, making me jump out of my bed in fright.
There was no warning screen, but instead stayed black for around five seconds before showing the Paramount logo. However it looked way different compared to the original logo. The mountain stood shades of white and red, and was in shambles as if it was hit by an earthquake. The stars were bright white, the sky was in dark shades of black, and the text mark was bright white too, as a big, red star symbol faded behind the mountain.
My friend was right, something was wrong…
Then it showed the Nickelodeon logo, but the fish swam to the screen with dark orange skin, it had organs sticking out beneath the fish, as it had an eye ripped out of its socket, and had blood drenched all over the fish. 
It then began to play all of the episodes listed on the tape. 
* Ripped Pants
* Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy
* Karate Choppers
* Gary Takes a Bath
* Jellyfish Hunter
Wait… the Jellyfish Hunter episode didn’t play, but instead played a message that scrolled on the screen, telling me that the video was pirated. I was confused yet worried because I would never pirate media like a criminal would do. All of a sudden the screen shuttered to black and played an episode, so graphic and humiliating that it almost made me ruin my perspective on the show itself.
Surprisingly, the intro for the show played again, despite playing it the first time before the episodes started. Maybe it must be an error or something else. The intro itself played normally, up until the end however, instead of Spongebob playing his nose like a flute, the ending intro just froze as Spongebob stared at the screen before shivering while still displaying a hidden smile on his face.
All of a sudden, the background immediately grew darker along with Spongebob growing an evil mischievous grin on his face as his eyes were censored out with a black rectangle. In the background was silent but then came a low humming noise before cutting to black and showing the title card.
The title card was displayed in a red, spirally background with the words ‘The Main Course’. I found this a bit funny to myself as if it was a pun from a Spongebob episode.
After the beginning credits, the episode began with a bubble transition of the Krusty Krab, where a lot of angry customers were yelling Squidward for their orders. Squidward turns to the window and yells at Spongebob to hurry up with the orders and says that these customers are losing their patience.
Spongebob is then shown, in a panicked and rushed state, making all of the requested orders for the customers, but would hear Squidward yelling and replies that he’s trying his best to get all of the orders ready.
He then manages to get all of the orders done in no time, and takes a couple seconds lying down and catching his breath. Afterwards he got up, taking a moment to talk about how stressful that work was, until he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening to reveal one more customer, who was wearing the same clothes that Spongebob wears. He walks over and orders for a normal Krabby Patty.
Spongebob then readies himself to make one, but soon realized that there were out of patties by checking the freezer. Upon looking inside of the freezer, no plain patties in sight, he lets out a short scream of shock. He realized that he might’ve used all of them to feed his customers. He brews up an idea on what to do. 
Spongebob soon had an idea for making more Krabby Patties. He pops his head out of the window and asks the customer to come over, and so he comes over to the kitchen. Spongebob explains to him that they were out of patties, but not to worry because he’s got a ‘special treat’ just for him.
Curiously the customer asks what it is, Spongebob says to him to wait there as he leaves the shot. A couple of seconds later, the lights go out, as the door can be heard locked. The customer was confused and scared by the moment as it passed on. 
Then Spongebob enters, wearing an apron, before taking out a butcher’s knife, and tells the customer to stay quiet. The image begins to turn dark as Spongebob begins to twitch, “THEY WON’T SAVE YOU NOW.” Who are they? And what were the intentions of they?
Suddenly he slowly walks towards the customer, who was somehow now strapped in a machine thingy. The customer pleaded not to hurt him, but Spongebob gave no mercy to the customer, as his pupils now glowed in a reddish color and his eyes became black.
The scene cuts to the frying stove, where the sounds of the repeated noise of the slashing, mainly from the butcher’s knife, and the customer letting out an agonizing scream as Spongebob was also heard laughed maniacally. As all of this happened, there was intense slaughter music like you were to hear in horror movies.
It then cuts to black, for around four seconds before showing text in the Krabby Patty font ‘They’ll like my newest creation to the Krusty Krab.”
The scene then goes back to normal as it showed the kitchen, with Spongebob finishing up the patty, that was until Mr. Krabs bursts in asking what the commotion all was. Spongebob, frightened for a second, managed to come up with an excuse (Spongebob having a mental breakdown) so that he wouldn’t have to tell him the truth. And so Mr. Krabs believes him, before yelling for him to get back to work.
Afterwards, Spongebob finishes the patty, as Squidward asked him what was taking him so long. Spongebob stated that he was busy making it “quote on quote” perfect, as Squidward takes the party, and was gonna hand it to the customer, but noticed he was missing. He thinks for a moment where he might’ve left, and Spongebob stated that he might’ve left due to the length of time given. 
Squidward decided not to waste the patty, but instead took a small bite of the patty. Upon tasting it however, he gags, before running into the bathroom and vomiting offscreen. After that it cuts to Spongebob minding his own business before Squidward running to the shot and asking Spongebob what he putted in the party. Spongebob said that it was just a normal patty and probably tasted the same as the regular ones, and that he probably felt sick.
Squidward obviously doesn’t believe what he said, so he throws out the patty in the dumpster, where Plankton would pop out of the trash and decide to take a look at the patty. He opens the bun of the patty with glee before suddenly his face turns pale and shocked. What he saw was a patty merged with the body parts of the customer Spongebob killed earlier, except the image was in a realistic close up shot, as a scare chord played in the background.
Plankton then screamed in horror and shock as he jumped out of the dumpster, and ran back into the Chum Bucket. At last we get one more shot of Spongebob opening the back door, and seeing Plankton run off without a trace left. Spongebob glared at my screen for a moment as text appeared next to him ‘This is what happens to those that get in my way. Next time you’ll play with me like that, you’ll end up in the next krabby patty!’ Before him letting out his usual laugh before closing the door.
The ending credits played, meaning that the episode marked its true end, but the only difference was that the background was in shambles and was colored in shades of dark red and the text was gray. Other than that the ending theme played normally.
I was appalled by the episode. Why would Nickelodeon make this episode? Most importantly, why did my friend make an offer for me to keep the tape? 
The closing logos were shown after the long credit scene. Starting off with the United Plankton Pictures logo, but the sea was in a deep shade of red as the little yellow planktons were mauled to death, and the text stood in a black color.
Then showing the Nickelodeon logo, but the haypile also stood in a fiery red color, as the wordmark was melting. The weird part about it was that there was no byline shown. 
Finally ending the tape with the Paramount logo, which looked worse before from the opening. The logo’s fonts were now horrorized ones, with fire erupting behind the mountains in the background. 
I immediately went to eject the tape out of the VCR, and placed it back inside the cover slip. I would then contact my friend after, and told me to destroy the tape, as it was the only way out of this mess.
I got out my baseball bat, and was about to swing it at the tape, but then another idea came to mind. That was, going outside my backyard and grabbing a lighter, and setted the tape on fire, and then pouring gasoline into the tape.
I sat there, watching the tape slowly burn up into flames. The episode traumatized me, especially with Spongebob, as he now looked like a serial killer in my eyes. 
Three days later my friend contacted me and told me that he got rid of his Spongebob merch due to the episode he saw, this also prompted me to get rid of my Spongebob merch as well. 
And since then, I wouldn’t look at Spongebob the same way he used to be before. Ever again, until I received a note written on a napkin hanging onto my fridge. The note itself was written in morse code, so I translated on a morse code translator app, and this was it was written; “The next Krabby Patty will have YOU in it!”.
