Hey, You, You Sponge!/Transcript

This is the transcript to the Chronicles Episode "Hey, You, You Sponge!".

## Prologue

(At the Prophet's Palace...)

Bernadette: HE LEFT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE LEFT?!

Chowder: Apparently, X-OvrLuvr got so frustrated at Scroopfan for focusing on his SAF series...

Uncle Grandpa: He went to MSM to complain about it.

Grim: But he took it as wanting to break off the partnership.

Steven: And now he's without a writing partner.

Bernadette: This is a catastrophe! A calamity! A cataclysm! X-OvrLuvr just got done posting the Anastasia episode of Nicktoons Unite Adventures, there's a Chronicle taking place after that, and due to a miscommunication, we find out Scroopfan is no longer doing business with us! How can you write a Chronicle without a co-writer?! (Bangs her head against the wall) How... Can you write... a Chronicle... without... A co... writer?

Dominator: Oh, come on, Bernadette! It's not that bad! Can't he just write the Chronicle by himself? He's done it before.

Bernadette: How can you write a Chronicle without a co-writer? How can you write a Chronicle, without a... (she realizes) Actually, you're right! He's used to writing episodes before, why make an exception now? Maybe he can rewrite that Chronicle and make the twist villain that Scroopfan never wanted out of this series! And with any luck, it'll be a whole new direction for this adventure series franchise! Now that that's out of the way, let's go get those other crystals!

(Unknown to them, Deadpool was watching the whole thing)

Deadpool: A whole new direction. What do you think of that?

Yellow Box: Now that Scroopfan is out of the way, there's nothing holding us back!

White Box: And nothing holding X-OvrLuvr back, for that matter.

Deadpool: Okay, on with the show!

## Chapter 1: Two Universes, One Team... That's Better Than Nothing

(On Volcano Island, the van finally lands)

Squidward: I never thought I'd be happy to see this place again. Espeically since I once moaned about being made to stay here.

Tucker: Yeah, for some reason, this feels like a home away from home.

Sam: But very soon, we have to get to our REAL homes.

Sheen: Come on, guys. Can't we take a moment to appreciate this?

Patrick: Yeah, I mean, what better place to be the Chosen Ones than on a beautiful island?

Sandy: One that's got a huge monster controlling a rip in time and space above the volcano, but still a pretty place.

Wanda: "Though honestly if not even for just the Volcano alone, ya know, eruptions and all that, it would've otherwise be a nice place for condos, or a vacation business."

Cosmo: Yeah, it's not like we're going to be taken somewhere else, like, say, an alternate universe where everything is going wrong and a new enemy decides to come after us.

Timmy: But what are the chances of that happening? (Suddenly the van gets struck by a beam, and starts to fly off on its own)..... COSMO, YOU IDIOT, YOU PROVOKED KARMA?!

Sheen: Perhaps we spoke too soon!

Carl: Hey, wh-What's happening?!

Jimmy: Our van is caught in some sort of tractor beam! (the Nicktoons Heroes scramble into the van, then it blasts off... then GIR jumps out of the bushes too late)

GIR: WELCOME BACK! (beat) Hey, where them go?..... Oops, I must've been deludng things again..... OH WELL?! (Plops down and spins on the ground singing the "Doo-Doo" song.)

(In Alternate United Universal Space...)

(The heroes scream as a magic portal spit them out and the van crashes on another planet)

Danny: (the heroes groan) Is everyone all right?

Sandy: Yep. We're okay.

Carl: Although my scapula might say different.

Squidward: Oh, no. That didn't just happen. Please tell me that didn't happen!

Patrick: What happened? [SpongeBob shrugs his shoulders. Squidward runs around the van]

Squidward: Where are we? We're lost! There's no way out! Stuck... in the middle of nowhere... With Spongebob and Patrick, and everyone else?! Oh, why must every 11 minutes of my life be filled with misery? Why-hy-hy-hy?!

SpongeBob: Oh, cheer up, Squid, it could be worse.

Patrick: Yeah, you could be bald and have a big nose.

(Awkward Drum Sound).....

Sheen: "Doesn't he have that exactly?"

Timmy: Besides, we're not stuck here, right Neutron?

Jimmy: Fortunately, before I joined you in your Treasure Planet adventure, I had taken the time to update my Universe Portal Machine, so it's equipped with a portable guide and tracking software. (he takes out a small tablet) All I have to do is fire it up, and... (The tablet shows AUU star maps) Puking plutonium! I've never seen these kinds of star maps before!

Tucker: Uh... There is an Earth here, right?

Jimmy: Hmm... Search "Earth". (the tablet buzzes) "No world found"? Let me try something else. (He types on the tablet, and it beeps) "Planet found: Planet... Xarbon?" Jumping Jupiter! That beam didn't send us to another world! They sent us to another United Universes!

Tucker: Another United Universes? Cool!

Squidward: "YOU THINK BEING STRANDED IN A FOREGIN POSSABLY HAZORDOUS DIMENSION IS "COOL?!"

Tucker: "Okay when ya say it like that, not cool."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, readings say physical laws are relatively compatible with beings of our dimension, so don't worry about elements poisonous to us but fine for the locals."

Tucker: "So back to cool again."

Squidward: "Well I'm STILL not itching to be in an entirely alien dimension!? Who knows what lurks here?!"

Sandy: "Well if X has his way, I wouldn't worry about anything Lovecraftian."

Wanda: Well still, can we get out of this place?

Jimmy: (He runs over to the van's computer, but it blanks out) Oh, gas planet! Looks like we are stuck here. I can't teleport us back to Volcano Island, the screen's frozen. The van must have suffered electromagnetic damage from whatever brought us here.

Squidward: Well... This is the end. [He falls on the ground]

SpongeBob: No, it's not, Squidward!

Patrick: [Building coffins] It's not?

Timmy: "DUDE, NOT HELPING!"

SpongeBob: Come on, guys, we're gonna be fine!

Sam: Can you fix it?

Jimmy: This damage looks too advanced for me, and I don't have the right tools.

Timmy: Can you at least find out where we are?

Jimmy: (He pulls out the guide) According to the guide, this is a planet called... Rabungia.

Timmy: That doesn't tell us anything!

Jimmy: I'm trying my best, Turner!

Squidward: Your best doesn't matter, because we're all going to die here! And I bet I won't be the last to go, not if SpongeBob and Patrick don't kill me first! [SpongeBob and Patrick wave]

Sandy: Will you quit belly-aching?! What does that prove?

Sam: Yeah, we're not gonna die! So let's all just remain calm and proactive.

Danny: Okay, so the first thing we'll do is find someone who can help us get off this rock.

???: Perhaps I can help. (A male wizard arrives before the heroes)

Wizard: I am the one who brought you here, after all.

Sheen: Hey, cool wizard dude.

Squidward: "(ENRAGED AT THEM) WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

Wizard: You know there's more polite ways to ask for that, good sir.

Sam: "Mind Squidward, he, doesn't have a good opinion on being made to be somewhere else against his will."

Wizard: Fair enough, that's on me for the impromptu invitation. My apologies. I am Master Vimozee von Dannington, Esquire. Manaria wielder.

Cosmo: What's manaria?

Vimozee: Simply put, it is a form of magic that exists within these universes.

Squidward: Well, then can you kindly bring us back? We were in the middle of something here!

Vimozee: I'm afraid I can't do that. I brought you here for a- (Squidward tackles him)

Squidward: I'll have to know that we have lives in our own Universes, and yours is about to- (Danny and Sandy hold him back)

Danny: Squidward! Try to control your temper!

Timmy: Sorry about him. He's not used to adventuring.

Vimozee: Clearly. (he dusts himself off) Now, as I was saying, I have summoned you Punch Time Exploders here for a purpose.

SpongeBob: Punch Time Exploders? Oh, no, no, you got the wrong people. We're the Nicktoons Hero Gang.

Vimozee: Oh... DASH IT ALL, ya mean I basically summoned a bunch of random misfits?! Okay, give a moment to send you all back so I can actually-

Jimmy: Wait! But we do know Bernadette Willows, the Punch Time Exploders' leader!

Vimozee: (Stops short of a spell)..... You do?

Squidward: "HE CLEARLY WANTS BERNADETTE, CAN'T YOU JUST LET HIM-"

Patrick: Oh, yeah, she's a friend of ours. We go way, way back.

Vimozee: Interesting. You may be of use after all.

Squidward: "(Dejected) Fishpaste."

SpongeBob: What's that?

Vimozee: Oh, nothing.

Carl: So, why did you bring us here, Mr. Vimozimmo, Vimozo, Vavavava... Do you have a nickname?

Master Vim: You may just call me Master Vim. My, less formal students usually do.

Jimmy: Okay, Master Vim. Why did you bring us here to Rabungia?

Master Vim: I never meant to bring you here, but I suppose there's no time like the present to explain. Our best prison, The Cube, had recently acquired a prisoner by the moniker of "Jumping Port", but he managed to escape before we could bring him to the Evil-Catchers. He seems to have appeared from your United Universes, but we had trouble determining where exactly he came from. I had hoped to summon one of the Punch Time Exploders here, so I could take them to Portus and have them contact Ms. Willows, but I guess you'll do.

Squidward: "Not particularly picky about who ya have fix YOUR problems, do ya?"

Master Vim: "To be fair, Port doesn't seem to be native to our dimension. You'll see when you get the proper context."

Sam: Why does it feel like we're the sloppy seconds?

Tucker: Just roll with it, Sam.

Sandy: So, where do we find this Jumpin' Port varmint?

Master Vim: He's currently awaiting travel to the headquarters of Dark Science Industries. Or at the least remnant leftovers of such, DSI has been crumbling as of late thanks to the last time the Punchers were here. They are interested in his background before coming here. But before I can take you to the Quintus Universe, you'll have to deal with a little, cleanup problem this planet seems to have.

Carl: Cleanup problem?

Squidward: "DO WE LOOK LIKE JANITORS TO YOU?!"

Master Vim: "You misunderstood. It's a different kind of clean-up. Basically, leftovers of the prime villain Bernadette and the Punchers are responsible for taking down."

Danny: So no need to call for a garbage truck then?

Master Vim: No. I'm talking about a villain problem. An adorable race of mammals known as the All-Terrain Vruirrel is constantly under attack by the remnants of Emperor Xerxes XXX, led by his captain of the guard. Newly-appointed emperor Foo Kang wants them captured, deeming them problematic to redeem the name of his race, so he will make sure they'll cause no trouble.

Jimmy: So a simple case of stopping a previous emperor's lackies from causing problems? Sounds easy enough.

Master Vim: You'd think that given Xerxes is gone but It's not. Ordinarily, they have a champion from would defend the Vruirrels with little to no trouble, but prior to his, demise, Xerxes had her imprisoned. But perhaps, being a sort of adventure team yourselves, you might be able to help them. And if you do a good job, they might reward you with a little something extra special.

SpongeBob: Hmm... Fighting the villains, saving the Vruirrels, something extra special... Okay, Master Vim, you've got a deal!

Squidward: "BUT YOU BETTER SEND US HOME AFTER WE DO THESE FAVORS?!"

Master Vim: Calm down, calm down, yes, yes, you'll be permitted to return to your Universes after! Follow me. (the Nicktoon Heroes follow him) Oh, and incidentally, don't worry about your vehicle. The Vruirrel village we're going to isn't too far from here.

Jimmy: All right, then. (he pulls out the keys and sets the van's alarm) Just in case.

## Chapter 2: The Definition of "From Bad to Worse"

(Outside a village in ruins...)

Master Vim: Stick together, everyone. These Vruirrels are a little on edge due to hiding from the soldiers patrolling the area.

Tucker: Oh, please, how on edge can they be?

Master Vim: Edgy enough to gang up on and eat anyone they perceive as a threat.

Squidward: Threat? Anyone? Eat? Gang? Perceive? Enough? (They quietly step into the village, but then a squirrel-like creature with a huge bushy tail leap out)

Carl: Aww, it's a cute little squirrely.

Master Vim: The correct term would be "vruirrely". But I wouldn't mess with them if I were you. Good luck. (He teleports away, as the vruirrel notices the heroes)

SpongeBob: Uh... Hi? (The vruirrel bares its fangs and runs toward the heroes, and jumps at SpongeBob, only to be brought down by Sandy)

Sandy: Take that, you pile of fur! Why don't ya go jump in a ditch for that?! (The vruirrel notices Sandy's tail and gasps in excitement)

Vruirrel: Ohh! Ooh, come on out, everyone! (Many vruirrels come out of hiding as they were seen gliding with flying membranes, emerging out of pools of water, and running out of houses) Oh, fellow vruirrel, help us defend our village from these intruders!

Sandy: Intruders? YOU DINGBLAB IT MORONS?! These are my friends! And I ain't a vruirrel like you.

Male Vruirrel #1: If you're not a vruirrel, then prove it. Take off that space suit! (A female slaps him) What? I just want to make sure she's one of us.

SpongeBob: Oh, trust me, She's completely different from you. And I speak from experience.

Female Vruirrel #2: Actually, looking closer.... Her tail isn't as long and bushy as ours. And I don't see gills on her neck.

Female Vruirrel #3: Well, in that case, let's eat them all! (All the vruirrels bare their fangs as some brought out knives and forks)

Squidward: "NO PLEASE, I MIGHT BE POISONOUS?!"

Male Viruirrel: "Jokes on you, we eat poisonous critters every day, natural evolutionary granted immunity, boy!"

Tucker: "it figures."

Danny: Hey! No one's eating anybody!

Jimmy: He's right! We mean you no harm!

???: But we do! (A small army of Vulgametamanders emerge and start firing lasers in the air, scaring the vruirrels into hiding)

Timmy: "Ya know it's lucky the bad guys were nice enough to waste ammo like that and not actually go after the critters they want to go after."

Wanda: "Trust me, it'd be a different story if this was SAF. They would've done things more seriously."

VMM Soldier #1: And to be fair, it was a warning shot! Any stragglers will be shot and brought in for questioning!

VMM Soldier #2: Which is why we set our lasers from "Disintegrate" to "Incapacitate"!

VMM Soldier #1: Shut up! They don't need to know that!

VMM Soldier 4: "Wait I thought we were here to kill them-"

VMM Soldier 1: "NOT THAT EITHER YOU IDIOT?!"

Wanda: "Yeah, if this was SAF, these guys would DIFFIDENTLY not be this dumb."

VMM Soldier #3: Sir! What do we do with those interlopers, sir?

VMM Solider #1: Move in! Firing squad, take your positions! (Some soldiers move in) State your business, peons.

Danny: We're here on official hero business.

VMM Solider #1: Hero? You must be members of those Punch Time Exploders, here on a "friendly visit", no doubt. take them away! (Sandy kicks him away)

Sandy: Seriously?! Ya hear hero and immediately want to arrest us?!

VMM Soldier 5: "Well, we kinda lost our previous emperor to heroes and the adviser kinda took over. I mean, Foo's not a bad emperor personally, I'm just kinda got dragged in by angry loyalists-"

VMMM Soldier 1: "NEEDLEMEN, SHUT UP?!"

Needlemen: "(Fearfully) Sir yes sir!"

Sandy: Well either way, that makes ya villains by proxy of bad life decisions!

Needlemen: "Drafted against our wills, actually-"

Sandy: Well yer all still about to regret them! Come get some, you dang rattlesnakes! (The Nicktoons fight off the Vulgametamanders as the vruirrels watch in awe)

VMM Solider #1: Firing squad! Take aim! (The firing squad aims at the heroes, but Danny flies at them and takes out their guns with ecto-lasers)..... D'OH WHY DO THESE OTHER DIMENSIONALS HAVE TO BE SUCH OVER-POWERED FREAKS?!

Timmy: "Says the sci-fi lizard dude with the Star Wars style weaponry?!"

VMM Soldier 1:.... CAN'T VALIDATE THAT CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN?! RETREAT! (the soldiers retreat) You think you're tough, but you'll see! Once Captain Smash gets a hold of you, you'll regret standing up to the Xerxes Army! You won't win so easily again! (He leaves)

Danny: You think that was easy? (The vruirrels come out and cheer)

Female Vruirrel #1: You saved our village from those awful soldiers! What do they call you?

Timmy: We are... The Nicktoons Hero Gang!

Male Vruirrel #2:....... Kinda a dorky name, but okay! Let's hear it for the Nicktoons Hero Gang, the 3rd bravest heroes of the United Universes! (the vruirrels cheer as a silhouetted figure watches from a safe distance)

Silhouetted Figure: This "Nicktoon Heroes Gang" is craftier than I thought.

SpongeBob: Wait, wait, 3rd bravest? Then who's the first bravest? (Squidward smacks him and a crack is heard)

Squidward: THE PUNCH TIME EXPLODERS! WHO DO YOU THINK?!

SpongeBob: Oww! Squidward! What'd you do that for?! (He starts crying and Sandy comforts him)

Danny: Squidward! I know you're stressed about being stuck here, but did you have to do that?

Squidward: He was asking a stupid question!

Sam: Yeah, but you could have snapped his neck!

Jimmy: Actually, he cracked some of SpongeBob's mesohyl.

Danny: Mess of who?

Tucker: Mesohyl. It's the gelatinous matrix within a sponge.

Jimmy: It resembles a type of connective tissue and contains several fibrils and skeletal elements.

Timmy: Then why the heck did it crack when Squidward smacked him?

Jimmy: Oh, that's because they get stiffened by spicules, a structural element that gives a sponge structural support. It takes a while for the spicules to make the mesohyl stiff again. Though I do agree, he went a bit too far.

Squidward: You know what? You guys can do what you want. I'm going to wait by the van, so just leave me alone. (He walks off)

Sam: Yeah. Maybe that would be best.

Patrick: Does it hurt, SpongeBob?

SpongeBob: No... Not really. But Squidward never hit me like that before.

Sam: "And that's saying a lot cause I seen how he normally acts around you guys."

Male Vruirrel #3: And you know, our first bravest hero went by the name of Zandee Wargander. But since she's been imprisoned in the Cube, she kinda lost that honor.

Female Vruirrel #1: But anyway, let's talk about you guys. What are your stories?

SpongeBob: Well, you guys might want to get comfortable.

(Back at the van...)

Squidward: Those idiots are crazy. There is no way I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in an Alternate UUniverse with SpongeBob. I'm going to find a way to get back to sanity. Just hope those sad clowns don't come crying to me when their circus tent comes crashing down! Sad clowns... [Laughs] Sad... Clowns. (He suddenly hears a police siren) Huh? (a futuristic police car arrives) Then again, maybe my luck has changed. (Two police officers walk out) Can I help you, officers?

Police Officer #1: Police, sir. We've received a call about a flying van parked illegally. Is this your vehicle?

Squidward: Well technically no, I was just a passenger on that."

Police Officer #2: Well, if you happen to know the owner, you can help us present them with this ticket. (Gives the van a parking ticket)

Squidward: (Gasps) Ticket?! But officer, we're not from around here! We can't go home without this van!

Police Officer #1: Just calm down, sir. It's not in our jurisdiction to tow away the van. It's not going anywhere unless the owner can't pay the fine. But we will have to take you in for indecent exposure.

Squidward: Indecent?! What's indecent about me?!

Police Officer 1: "Okay, I know it may be a culture thing from your planet, but in most other galactic socities, we like to wear pants."

Squidward:..... You're kidding..... I go out like this all the time!

Police Officer #2: Yeah, we get it, might be a culture thing! But sorry buddy, indecency is still indecency. (The officers grab him)

Squidward: HEY, LET GO OF ME, YOU BARNACLE HEADS- (in his struggle, he accidentally hits one of the officers)

Police Officer #1: You just assaulted an officer of the Xandoran Police Force!

Police Officer #2: (dubbed as Joe) Boy, you shouldn't have done that, fella! You just earned yourself a trip to the Cube! (The officers take him away as Squidward screams)

French Narrator: A few hours later...

SpongeBob: So then, Lapin used her magic to capture Rasputin's reliquary and allow Anya to destroy him once and for all! (The vruirrels ooh in awe)

Male Vruirrel #4: Wow, and I thought the Punch Time Exploders were awesome! I mean, they still are, but these guys are cool in their own right.

Timmy: "Ya know it's funny these guys went from wanting to eat us to admire us."

Older Vruirrel: " Bah if it helps, ya alot of ya don't look that tasty anyway."

Female Vruirrel #3: Yeah! I mean, helping the most brilliant human bring their "Earth" back into orbit by calling him an idiot? Fighting a magical being of darkness? Working with a "Uniter" from another multiverse to solve a savage animal conspiracy? Training a "panda" in Ciong Fu to defeat a "Tai Lung"?!

Elder Vruirrel: Yes, I have a feeling you all will go very far.

???: Indeed they will. (Master Vim comes out of hiding)

Jimmy: Master Vim! Where have you been?

Master Vim: I wanted to avoid trouble with the vruirrels, but it seems you have gotten things out of control.

Sam; Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Master Vim: Anyhow, I managed to contact one of my fellow Manaria users, and the Grand Council will have someone look at your van. But we better hurry.

(At the van...)

Sheen: A ticket?!

Tucker: But we were only gone for a few hours!

Timmy: "Oh great, even in an alternate futury universe, meter maids are a pain here too!"

SpongeBob: And where did Squidward go?

Timmy: I wish we knew. (Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands and poof up a slide projector that shows what happened)

Sam: Squidward's in jail?

SpongeBob: We gotta help him!

### In the Cube

(Squidward is brought to a robot receptionist)

Robot: Name?

Squidward: LET ME OUTTA HERE NOW?!

Robot: Middle initial?

Squidward: AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH?!

Robot: Home world?

Squidward: YOU STUPID BUCKET OF BOLTS?!

Robot: Unlisted. Species?

Squidward: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?!

Robot: Unlisted. Occupation?

Squidward: I HATE MY LIFE?!

Robot: Crime?

Police Officer #1: Indecent exposure.

Police Officer #2: Assaulting an officer.

Robot: Column L, Row A, Section N. Take him away. (The officers take Squidward to an elevator in the center of the room, which descends to show the entire prison is inside, with four cube-like prison quadrants on four sides, then the main visitor center is shown as a cell is ready for Squidward)

Police Officer #1: Hope you got a good look, because you're not getting out until we say so. In you go! (He and his fellow officer toss Squidward in the cell, which is sealed off by glass)

Squidward: YOU MISERABLE EXCUSES FOR MEN IN UNIFORM?! I WILL HAVE YOUR JOBS ON A SILVER PLATTER FOR THIS?! (the cell is magnetically taken to a quadrant where he is sorted by column, then row, then inner sector) This is so unfair!

Prisoner: Hey, buddy, life in the Cube isn't so bad. Three meals a day, good lighting, plenty of things to entertain us... It's the guys down South that have it the hardest.

Squidward: Well, I may be cut off from the other prisoners, but at least I can get through this without losing what little sanity I have left.

Warden Bot: "There has been a name error. Your given name is not actually your name. Your DNA collected says you're actually Squidward Q. Tentacles. Prepared to be re-rowed."

Squidward's cell bounced around into its proper placed!

Squidward: "(SCREAMS)!?"

Squidward's cell landed in the proper spot....

Squidward: "....... And just like that, it's gone.... My poor sanity."

???: What would cause you to lose your sanity?

Squidward: Who said that? I'm kinda cut off here.

???: Don't worry. I'm a friend. I'm Rapido. Rapido Stin Toxinwing. (Another Prisoner was seen)....

Squidward: LIKE I WOULD BEFRIEND CRIMINALS?! What do you take me for? SPONGEBOB AFTER THE ROVERS' INCIDENT?!

Rapido: Well aren't we aggressive? I used to feel that way, too. A lot of time in The Cube can change a person. I still prefer a quiet life, but I'd kill to get released so I can learn to be better. So tell me, how did you end up here?

Squidward: We're not even facing each other, why should I talk to you?

Rapido: Well, it'll only be a matter of time before someone notices the inter-cell microphones are on, so this will be our only chance to talk for now.

Squidward:.... Ugh, fine, not like I'll have to DEAL with you again after. Well, I came here from another United Universes. You heard of the Punch Time Exploders?

Rapido: Oh, man, yeah. I'd give anything to meet them.

Squidward: Usually with criminals it's the opposite.

Rapido: "Hey give me a break, bro, like I said, the Cube can change a person."

Squidward: Well, I'm part of a group called the Nicktoons Hero Gang. We were brought here by a wizard who says my team can help apprehend a guy called Jumpin' Port.

Rapido: You mean the guy who was caught with dimension-hopping technology that escaped not too long ago? What does that have to do with your going insane?

Squidward: Well, back in my United Universes, I have this neighbor. Oh, I hate him most of all. I mean, he means well, but it's like he can't help making my life-

Rapido: A living hell? Yeah, I felt that way too. But one day, he was getting on my nerves a little too much, and I took my anger out on the wrong person and stung him. He died because of my highly toxic venom, and it turned out he was an ambassador. I mean, I could have stayed and talked things out, but after a few years, I feel like I made peace with myself here.

Squidward: Wow... That sounds worse than what I went through. I was here because I accidentally hit an officer, and stupidly because I don't wear pants.

Rapido: Well... This neighbor of yours... Does he consider you, his friend?

Squidward: Yeah... But more often than not he causes problems for me. Like I said, he means well, but he's also an idiot. And believe me, he REALLY gets under my skin on how much of an idiot he is! I mean, he's an improvement from Patrick that he DOES pay attention at times, but it's when he doesn't is the problem! Every day it's like I'm being punished. I don't know for what, but it's like I'm being punished. In fact, we were selected for this Chosen One business when I'm not the adventuring type, and I can't wait for our little fight to be over. The less time with SpongeBob, the better. I'm seriously stressed out over here.

Rapido: Noted that ya ended up hitting a cop over not wearing pants. I mean if it's a culture thing I get it, but the pantsless didn't get to write the rules. And here's where I think your problem resides: You're letting your anger and your stress take control of your life. Anger is just as bad as the villains that are apparently lying in wait to terrorize our worlds. Been that ever since the Exploders took out the Grand Evil. Don't make the same mistake I did, Squidward. If you continue to dwell on your anger, you might end up becoming a villain yourself.

Squidward: Pfft! Yeah, right. SpongeBob may annoy the barnacles out of me, but at least I have standards.

Rapido: Hey, it's your life. I'm just trying to help you out, is all.

Squidward: You do have a point though. He does consider me a friend, but it'll take a miracle to get him to come here. (An alarm goes off)

Voice: Column S, Row Q, Section T. Please remain in your cell until you reach the visitor's area. You have been verified for official release. (Squidward's cell, and the cells in front of it, magnetically move forward, then his cell is propelled into the visitor's area where he sees SpongeBob)

SpongeBob: Hi, Squidward!

Squidward:..... Okay, I'm conflicted because for once the Universe throws me a bone, but yet it's still Spongebob. I don't know whether this is a miracle you knew where I was, or part of my punishment for acting out the way I did.

Timmy: Oh, relax, Squidward. You know we wouldn't leave without you. Give us credit, we're not in a modern Spongebob Episode.

Patrick: Yeah, we're the Chosen Ones.

Jimmy: Plus, we told them we were friends with the Punch Time Exploders, and they agreed to let you go.

Squidward: Again, don't know whether to be annoyed or grateful.

Cosmo: Try both!

Police Officer #1: Thanks for clearing this whole mess up. And uh, sorry for the misunderstanding, we're just doing our jobs.

Police Officer #2: Good luck catching Jumpin' Port. After his escape, he was last seen being taken to the Dark Science Industries main office in the Quintus Universe. Kinda surprised they're still a thing after what the Exploders did to them.

Timmy: Why do I get the feeling Dark Science Industries doesn't have the best intentions here?

Sam: "Pretty sure it's LITTERALLY in the name."

Danny: We have to capture Port and bring him back to our United Universes. Otherwise, both of these United Universes are at risk.

(Back on Rabungia, the Vulgametamander soldiers stand in line, at the mercy of their general)

General: So, let me get this straight. The reason you want to abandon Operation: Vruirrel Vengeance, is because some apparent allies of the Punch Time Exploders beat the snot out of you and destroyed your weapons?

VMM Soldier #1: Yes, sir, General Smash, sir!

General Smash: And do you know what the penalty is for incompetence in soldiers?!

VMM Soldier #3: The penalty for incompetence is death, sir!

General Smash: And it is not a very pleasant one! But it is a sentence that can be avoided in one of two different ways! You can either capture all vruirrels to prove your loyalty, or tell me the truth on why you want to abandon this plan!

VMM Soldier #1: But sir, we were telling the truth!

???: Sir, if I might interject... (a Vulgametamander sergeant steps out)

General Smash: What is it, Sergeant Stroy?

Sergeant Stroy: Incompetence isn't usually the same as stupidity.

VMM Soldier #2: What's he talking about?

Sergeant Stroy: Well, soldier, just think about the logic of your report, shall we? If they weren't allies to the Punch Time Exploders, let alone fellow residents of their United Universes, would they be coming out here, to our level, fighting against us?

General Smash: I don't care about other United Universes, Sergeant! Our orders from Emperor Xerxes are to round up all Vruirrels and prepare them for punishment.

Sergeant Stroy: "Even when he's not emperor anymore, let alone alive?"

General Smash: "...... (Angerly) I don't, consider Foo, my emperor!"

Sergeant Stroy: Not saying I do, by all means. I mean in a way that it's not like we still have our old and TRUE Emperor around to really take orders from, now do we? We're techically considered traitors to our people for still being loyaly to a dead emperor needlessly "shamed" as the "Maniac who freed the Grand Evil". Without him to give the execution order, it's all for nothing! How are we supposed to drive the Vruirrel species to extinction without Xerxes?!

General Smash: Well until Foo starts making sense or better he's usurped by someone loyal to Xerxes as we are, we're rounding up every vruirrel in these United Universes!

Sergeant Stroy: You know, sir, we've been at this game for a few years now, but did it ever occur to you that instead of killing all the vruirrels, we just educate them on what they'd done, and force them to make amends? (the soldiers murmur amongst themselves)

General Smash:... STROY, YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT FOR SUGGESTING THAT?! We're keeping to killing all these rodents off and that's fin- (Stroy pulled out a gun and shot Smash's head off as it was vaperized)..... (Plops down dead).....

Sergeant Stroy: "..... Ugh, I hate wasting a good general like that. (Picks up Smash's helmet)..... So, gentlemen? You open for an exchange of hats?"

VMM Soldier 1: "..... No, no objections, sir. General Stroy Sir."

Sergeant Stroy: "Oh you don't have to call me general, that's rank only. I would still like to be called Sergeant. Now, if we are prepare to put aside the bloodlust..... Here's how things will work from here....."

## Chapter 3: Meet New Villains

(In the Quintus Universe, the van arrives)

Master Vim: Here we are, Nicktoons Hero Gang. The Qunitus Universe, the scientific part of our United Universes.

Sheen: All right!

Jimmy: I have a feeling I'll be right at home here.

Sandy: Don't forget why we're here, Jimmy. (Suddenly, the van gets surrounded)

???: United Universal Defense Organization! Land your vehicle immediately!

Master Vim: Blast! Scientists! I can't let them see me!

SpongeBob: Why?

Master Vim: You know how there are worlds that don't believe in magic? Let's just leave it at that.

Sam: "(Suspicious) I mean, I can't say I disagree with you, but your lack of willingness to interact with people is suspect."

SpongeBob: Now Sam, we can't be suspicious of him like he's some kind of un-nessersary twist villain. (Vim was shadely looking around like a really suspect person). (At Vim to imemdiately got nevious and gave an uneasy smile) That's okay. We'll just let you stay in the van while we talk to these guys. (They land the van)

Squidward: Is there a problem, sirs? (it turns out the people surrounding them were mechanics of different races)

Mechanic: You bet there is! You were flying over a strictly UUDO-only parking lot, which you just landed in! I hope you have a good explanation for this!

Timmy: "Does it help if we say we don't know the customs here?"

Mechanic: "Ugh, ALWAYS tourests from far rim planets, ALCOURSE!"

Jimmy: But if it helps, we do, sir. We understand that Dark Science Industries is interested in helping out an interloper from our Untied Universes.

Mechanic:... Go on.

Timmy: We're friends with the Punch Time Exploders, you see, and-

Mechanics: Punch Time Exploders?!

Head Mechanic: That changes everything!

Sam: "Well THAT was unrealisiticly easy."

Head Mechanic: Being fair, the Exploders gave themselves a nice rep with our communities. We have to get these people to Dr. Terraria quickly! (The heroes are lead away from the van as it is towed away to "Visitor Parking", as Vim watches them)

(In Dr. Terraria's office...)

Guard: Dr. Terraria? Our mechanics found some interlopers flying around UUDO airspace.

Dr. Terraria: Oh, really?

Guard: Yeah, they claim to be allies to the Punch Time Exploders.

Dr. Terraria: What? And so soon after losing the... Oh, well, why didn't you say so? Leave them to me. I'll deal with them accordingly. Come along, darling. (an InfiniBot floats alongside him)

InfiniBot: Yes, Father.

(In the main science room...)

Jimmy: This place is amazing! So many scientific advances are happening right in front of us!

Timmy: "Does it always have to be about science for you, Nerdtron?"

Squidward: "Like seriously, do you ALWAYS have to nerd-gasm over these year 3000 style doohickies and whatchamacallits?"

Tucker: "Ahhh don't mind them, Jimmy. I think this is all cool too. Us techno geeks got to stick together."

???: Although I wouldn't use the term "techno-geek", I feel it's a bit of a slang designed to berate us for being intelligent, I appreciate the sentiment. (Dr. Terraria arrives)

Dr. Terraria: I understand you are friends to the Punch Time Exploders, am I right?

Jimmy: Yes, sir.

Dr. Terraria: I am Dr. Faram Terraria, lead scientist of the United Universal Defense Organization.

SpongeBob: Hi, how do you do? Allow me to introduce my friends. Patrick, Sandy-

InfiniBot: Squidward Tentacles, Jimmy Neutron, Carl Wheezer, Sheen Estevez, Timmy Turner, Cosmo Cosma, Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma, Danny Fenton, Tuckey Foley, and Sam Manson. It's very nice to meet you, SpongeBob.

Sheen: Hey, cool robot head.

Dr. Terraria: Oh, this is my daughter, Seran.

Squidward: "Good to know that intercourse with robots is a thing."

Dr. Terraria: "OH, Uh, you misunderstood, not like that. I mean to say it's like her brain is in the robot. (Sheepish) Not to say that robots designed for, um, *those* kind of activities don't exist, but they're not usually intended to have synthetic pregnancies and- And I should stop cause I'm aware a lot of you are children."

Jimmy: Some of us are aware of reproduction realities, Doctor. But taking this back to being about Seran..... Incredible! A robot specifically designed for keeping the brain alive!

Dr. Terraria: I call it the InfiniBot. It's a special robot that combines the ingenuity of sentient brain matter, and the unlimited possibilities of technology, created to be the perfect laboratory assistant, maybe even more. It also doubles as a laptop.

Tucker: Okay, I know we just met, but I feel really close to you right now.

Squidward: "But why is your kid basically a glorified head in a jar?"

Dr. Terraria: "(Solemnly) Let's just say that, science gives and takes away."

Sam: "So like, a lab accident?"

Dr. Terraria: "(Sighs), An unrelated experiment went awry and, Seran was caught in that. It's, too personal to speak beyond that point."

Wanda: I'm sorry to hear that.

Dr. Terraria: (He regains his composure) Ahem! So, what brings you to the Quintus Universe?

Sandy: We're here because we were told a cyborg called Jumpin' Port was being taken here.

Dr. Terraria: Oh, yes, I managed to get a look at him before he was taken to the cube. Seran?

Seran: Yes, Father. (A nearby monitor lights up and shows a cyborg rabbit with a metal right foot, left arm, and left eye with both ears still intact with the exception of a bit of the right ear torn off the side) Real name, Bumper Jonathan Port. Once a brilliant researcher in cybernetics with aspirations of experimenting in interdimensional travel. After being caught in a horrendous traffic incident involving criminals known as the "Rage Rovers", he was rebuilt into what you see today.

SpongeBob had a giant "Oh Crap" Face.

Dr. Terraria: Unfortunately, his dimension travel technology wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, not because it made the mistake of sending him here, but because it takes two weeks for the tech to be recharged, a time limit which is almost upon him. He came to the Quintus Universe to Dark Science Industries, a rogue science group of dubious ethical practices, in order to create an interdimensional prison especially for you, Mr. SquarePants.

SpongeBob: "(Facepalming) (Quietly) Oh dirty barnacles I thought this was behind me now!"

Squidward: "(Faceplams as well) Oh fantastic, SpongeBob's stupidest mistake in LITERALLY our entire universes catches up to us again?!"

Dr. Terraria: "I, take it the context isn't very pleasant."

Jimmy: "Let's, just say it involves SpongeBob getting dragged into something that is, basically the reason why it's Illegal for him to learn how to drive outside of his native home world."

Dr. Terraria: "Oh dear. I'll, notify the Grand Council to consider acknowledging this very particular law for our own driving learning institutions if it's, that bad then."

Timmy: "But if he's after SpongeBob, why come here at all?"

Dr. Terraria: "Likely the same reason why his inter-dimensional device was being so, flawed. Your dimension's technology is so, beyond retrograde, like, the kind of tech not seen in our dimension for many years outside of tech museums. Even a novice detective would easily deduce that he was simply trying to steal tech from dimensions with higher tech levels to have this be possible."

Timmy: "Seriously? Our tech's not "Good enough for him"? Doesn't he know we had space aliens with advance tech?!"

Tucker: "But can he really know that knowing how the government likes to keep that under wraps?"

Timmy: "Point taken."

Dr. Terraria: "Your dimension's still at that phase? (Laughs), Our Humans haven't done that sort of pointless debauchery in countless centauries!"

Jimmy: "Taking this point back to the matter at hand.... If Port was perfectly caught, then how did he escape?"

Dr. Terraria: "Look no further then DSI again. They had their mercenaries be able to ambush the transport he was in and take him back on course to them. Albeit, the strange logical paradox is that DSI should be on too hard of times to even bother with someone like Port now after how the Exploders handled them ever since Xerxes. It's like someone gave them reason to even risk being dealt another blow to them again for interfering with this matter."

Timmy: "Or it's because the guy has dimension hopping tech and they simply want it."

Dr. Terraria: "Well yes, not a wrong theory, but you'd think DSI would not have enough appetite to even TRY it after what the Exploders did to them. If anything, you'd think they'd be scared of dimensional travel after that."

Danny: "Then it does sounds like someone's putting them up to it."

Wanda: "Well obviously enough we have to find out who or what."

Jimmy: "Can you give us directions to their location?"

Dr. Terraria: "Remnants are said to have started to hide in the privatized planet of Donpeer. A once prime resort planet that entered a state of endless thunderstorms after a weather satellite went rogue. It was a failed early experiment to master weather manipulation."

Cosmo: "Well don't that sound like a planet of ruined beach days."

Timmy: How bad could it be? (The monitor shows a planet full of storms visible from the atmosphere) Oh. That bad. (Suddenly the monitor glitches, and the rabbit, obviously Jumpin' Port, appears)

Jumpin' Port: Attention, United Universal Defense Organization. I don't want to cause you any panic, but I know you're hiding SpongeBob SquarePants in your ranks. And any ally of his, is no friend of mine! And if you don't bring him outta here, I'm gonna- (He suddenly gets cut off by Sergeant Stroy)

Stroy: This is a message to the entire All-terrain Vruirrel race.

Dr. Terraria: Desmond Stroy? What's he still doing out there?

Patrick: "In terms to what?"

Dr. Terreria: "Well like in terms of suddenly being on Donpeer! You'd think he'd still be a part of a bunch of defecting Xerxes Loyalists.

Stroy: You are about to find out why Xerxes was doing what he was doing, not just to your species, but the entire United Universes. (A video presentation was shown depicting the following) When Xerxes XXX was just a boy, he was next in line for the throne and he had dreams of ruling not just his kingdom, but the entire U.U. under the Grand Council. However, he had this one secret: he loved the Vruirrels. And who could blame him? They're all so cute. Granted one's idea of "cute" can vary. King Xerxes XXIX and Queen Xlizbeen took him to a little vriurrel village to help things along, and he was given a necklace that represented kindness of their species, which they seemed to call the highest honor. However, a horrible accident occurred as a result of a prank gone wrong, and in response, what did the vruirrels do? They demanded compensation, and the empire had enough to pay it back, but when fate had other plans... (Xerxes' parents are shown to be executed) Let's just say the thirtieth Xerxes ascended the throne early.

Young Xerxes XXX: (Dubbed as Copper) YOU MONSTERS! IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO, I'LL... (He breaks the necklace in half and throws the two halves away) I'll get you for this! (He ran off, and for some reason, a young Vruirrel girl picks up one of the halves)

Stroy: Oh, sorry, I don't know why that was put in. Ugh, that editor will spend a week in the dungeon for this! (The video presentation ends) We Vulgametamanders threatened to drive the vruirrel to extinction by any means necessary. We even quashed a rebellion that resulted in many of them being imprisoned, including their leader, one Zandee Rhonda Wargander.

Timmy: "Oh my gosh, this series finally grew the balls to do a harsh and serious topic-"

Stroy: However, since Xerxes is dead, times have changed. And now that you know the reason why he did what he did, well, I have different plans for you vermin.

Wanda: "Spoke too soon, sport. And once more, if this was SAF, they'd still be serious on that first thing."

Stroy: As we speak, we are planning to round you up on Planet Donpeer to decide your fate. Don't worry, I'm willing to move past the extinction thing, but let me tell you, you will wish for death after you learn what I have in store for you. That is all. (the video cuts back to Jumpin' Port)

Jumpin' Port: I can't believe that guy just cut me off! I had a threat planned and everything, who does that dumb lizard think he is- Oh, we're back on. Ahem, uh.... I don't know what that dude was on about and I am not concerning myself with whatever depressing politics this dimension's going through. Well, I was gonna get into a serious speech about what that sponge did to me and my family, BUT THAT STUPID LIZARD ATE UP MY SCREENTIME?! Ugh, you'd think I'd be the main focus, not some rando rodent hating reptile?! Look, the short version is, bring SpongeBob SquarePants to Donpeer, or face the consequences! (the video ends)

Seran: Neither of those things sound good.

Danny: "Doesn't that rabbit realize we might be after him?"

Wanda: "I felt like Port's speech would've covered that the incident may have psychologically damaged him, but apparently we don't know that because the plot decided to say that some random evil lizard guy's slavery plans are more important."

Cosmo: "You'd think it just be all about the rabbit who can jump dimensions. In fact, I kinda felt like if things were different, he'd brought us here and not the sus-looking wizard guy that so far has no serious relevance to us."

Timmy: "Good grief it's the stupid thing with Mastiff again! Spongebob, is it gonna become a thing that because of ONE RANDOM incident with bad driver hating dogs that VIRTUALLY EVERYONE'S GONNA COME AFTER YOUR SQUARE BUTT?!"

Spongebob: "I'm not sure I can adequately answer, because I don't know if I want it answered! I don't even know what was SPECIFICALLY done to him!?"

Wanda: "Again, probably would've been covered."

Dr. Terraria: "If it helps, we had kept a transcript of the Evil Catchers interrogating him. He claims that his family and himself were harmed on a highway by the Rovers. (SpongeBob dilated his pupils when he remembers that family blasted away by the cannon on Reagan's car)."

Jimmy: "But doesn't he understood the context that he was tricked into it?"

Dr. Terraria: "(Solemnly again) One's family being harmed can mess with even the most logical of men to not think clearly. As far as he's concerned, he felt that in spite of SpongeBob being a part of a gang of bad driver haters, he wasn't as severely punished as the others were. To him, just being banned from learning how to drive in anywhere but his native planet compared to the rest of them being jailed, minus one that died, is, well to be frank, kind of lackluster of a punishment. I'd imagined he felt cheated of proper undivided justice."

Timmy: "But SpongeBob can't be made to rot in prison! He's kinda needed to be a chosen one against a Darkspawn most infamous on Volcano Island! Surely the Rabbit's gotta be aware of that!"

Wanda: "Well unfortunately, we're from a universe where Void's a thing. Whose fault do you think it indirectly is that made him act so illogical outside of physical and emotional pain?"

Timmy: "(Deadpan) Of course. And it makes ya get why people give the High Council ALOTTA crud for not getting rid of it sooner?!"

Jimmy: "Well to be frank it looks like we have to obligate Port's demands, being that we intent to go after him as is. And I think along the way it might do well to put Stroy in his place."

Squidward: "EXCUSE ME?! Haven't we meddled in unrelated affairs as is?! Shouldn't we just focus on going after the rabbit?!"

Timmy: "Squidward, more likely than not, we might be already butting heads with the guy as I think he might be the leader of those lizards trying to go after the Virruels. Kinda too late to just focus on Bugs Grudgy here."

Jimmy: "And as is we're associated with people that took his preferred emperor. We might inevitably run into trouble with him whether we want it or not."

Sam: "Also, might be good to clean up some spots the Punchers left behind so it ain't like nobody's surprised by that Stroy guy trying to take things back to that vibe of things with Xerxes."

Squidward: "(Deadpan) Fishpaste."

Jimmy: Come on, guys. We gotta get back to the van, so we can stop all this insanity. Thanks for your help, Dr. Terraria.

Dr. Terraria: Oh, my pleasure. (the heroes leave) What do you think, Seran?

Seran: Well, they may be heroes in their own right, but they pale in comparison to the Punch Time Exploders. The sooner they repair that gate, the better.

## Chapter 4: The Final Battle

On Donpeer.

The Van braved through the storms.

This was being watched on a screen where Port was watching, rubbing his hands together.

Port: "Finally I'll get my chances with the Spongecake yet?!"

Stroy: "(Comes in with two big VMM Soldiers) So... What's this about what was said about me being a "Stupid Lizard"?"

Port: "(Looks over)..... Oh. It's the DINGUS who ate up my screentime! Look, I don't know what your deal is, and frankly, I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT MY BUSINESS! I'm the main villain of this story, not some random rodent hating douchebag! You forced me to make an abridged version of the speech I WANTED TO MAKE TO THE EXPLODERS'S PET PROJECTS AND TOLD THEM TO COME HERE ON THIS RAINSTORM PLANET SO I CAN TRAP THEM ALL WITH MY FIRST IMPRISONMENT DEVICE PROTOTYPE?! (Stroy got shocked) Next-...... Okay I admit I kinda don't have a gameplan after that. Maybe like go back to having some semblance of a normal life with my family afterwards at best?"

Stroy: "....... You, mentally destroyed, IDIOT?! (His two goons pinned Port down) You, just endangered, MY ENTIRE OPERATION?!"

Port: "Oh boo hoo, I may had endangered your stupid slavery plans?! DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A CARROT TOP ABOUT IT?!"

Stroy: "Grrrrrrrrrrr?! I swear, if Fahrenheit and Nark hadn't considered you invaluable and told me not to kill you, I WOULD KILL YOU like I did to this BUMBLING general that wouldn't let go of Xerxes' orders?!"

Port: "Well joke's on you they like my dimension hopping tech, so (Raspberries)!?"

Stroy: "(Angered) Only because I used you as a bargaining chip to get them to want to in kind, help me with what I WANTED TO DO?! I see a potential slave labor market for those fanged rodents and Xerxes was wasting that away over petty childhood truama over badly hindsighted politics?! You have ANY idea how quickly I would lose all that because of you LITERALLY TELLING THEM WHERE WE ARE?!"

Port: "Oh you blabbed about Donpeer too?!"

Stroy: "Not a secretive planet, pretty common knowledge, and it wasn't directed to the COMPATRIOTS OF THE MISFITS THAT RUINED EVERYTHING FOR PEOPLE LIKE US?! Whereas you, LITERALLY WENT OUT AND TELL THEM TO GO AFTER YOU, IGNORING THAT THEY MIGHT BE HERE TO CATCH YOU TO START WITH, YOU DUMB RODENT!?"

Port: "Well as before I could care less to whatever space opera drama this dimension's going through. I'm just trying to get proper justice onto a tainted Nickelodeon idol and that's it. Not like I'm trying to be a cliché "Take over the World" type of guy like you or the two-dollar store knock offs of SAF Villains."

Stroy: "Well, you do you, by all means, BUT DON'T DO STUPID THINGS LIKE GETTING HEROES TO COME INTO THIS PLANET?! HOW AM I GONNA EXPLAIN TO THE DSI DIRECTORS THAT YOU TOLD COMPANION PIECES TO THE EXPLODERS TO COME HERE?!"

Fahrenheit's voice: "PORT HAS WHAT?!"

Fahrenheit and Dr. Nark were seen......

Stroy: "....... Um, (Stroy's bodyguards dropped Port immediately) Fahrenheit, I-"

Fahrenheit: "(Angered) We, agreed that we would take a BIG risk going after this other-dimensional for the aspects of making use of his portal technology to enable DSI to expand to other existences, and even encouraged your equally risky gambit of helping your little slavery operation with Vruirrels, even after EVERYTHING we lost all because of your PREVIOUS EMPEROR?! BUT THEN WE FIND THE RODENT CALLED FOR THE HEROES TO ACTUALLY COME HERE?!"

Stroy: "Fahrenheit, wait-"

Fahrenheit: "Consider this unsteady partnership terminated, Stroy?!"

Dr. Nark: "And we're done with the rodent too?! (Pulls out a needle) After we take at least abit of something from him! (Pokes a needle into Port and takes abit of blood infected with Void energy) Cause..... Private reasons!"

Fahrenheit: "Though thank you for enabling us to have him here anyway. Now we don't need him. We copied his schematics for portal technology anyway and we'll make OUR OWN superior versions! You and the cyber pest are on your own?! Have fun distracting HIS guests! (He and Nark digitally teleported off)!"

Stroy: "...... (Angrily) FINE! Go ahead! I don't need you anyway! I have my Xerxes loyalists, and he will be avenged, one way or the other! (Angrily looks at Port)..... Did you see, what you had done?"

Port: "...... And I should care because?"

Stroy: "......"

Later....

Port was thrown in a cage with several enslaved Vruirrels!

Stroy: "ASSUMING THESE SAVAGES DON'T MUNCH ON YOU LATER, I'LL MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF YOU ONCE I DEAL WITH YOUR STUPID MISTAKE?! (Leaves in anger with the bodyguards) (At a captain) CAPTAIN, TELL OUR FORCES TO BE READY FOR A FIGHT?! A bad investment has attracted trouble?!"

Captain: Sir, yes sir! (he and Stroy march off)

Port: Well, that's just great. I got usurped as the main villain by some random rodent hating reptile! Now what am I supposed to do? (He's approached by the elder from the village)

Elder Vruirrel: Oh, don't worry. If these Nicktoons Heroes are anything like the Punch Time Exploders... Well, based on what's implied with you, you might get put away for good, but the rest of us will be freed in no time.

Port: "..... This is somehow worst then what Stroy said ya might eat me."

Elder: "If it helps, we might luck out and might not need to. That and we have plenty of Vrits."

The Vruirrels were seen eating local rat like creatures.

Port: "Aw that is- Awwww good gravy- EWWWWUGGHHHHH?!"

(On the planet's surface)

The Group were still in the van.

Timmy: Whoa, those were some intense storm clouds.

Squidward: Compared to what I had to sit through, that wasn't so bad.

SpongeBob: Oh, come on, Squidward, you're not still mad about the Preflumster incident, are you?

Squidward: What do you think?

Sheen: "Ya know a weird part of me is saying that Port might have ruined himself with that Stroy guy as I would imagine Stroy isn't the guy trying to pick a fight with us."

Jimmy: "An interesting but very strong gut feeling, Sheen. I'd imagine Port may had accidently made enemies with Stroy and the DSI remnants for doing that."

Danny: "But now I feel like that he and his guys might be the ones we're gonna have to deal with now."

Wanda: "Wouldn't be surprised since he's kinda usurping Port as episode antagonist."

Sam: "(Feeling suspicious about Vim's silence) Hey, anyone concerned about our wizard guide being unusually quiet?"

Wanda: "Yeah he's suspiciously quiet just after we visited Dr. Terraria. He hasn't said a peep from where he is."

Sandy: "That is odd. I feel like we should confront him."

SpongeBob: Master Vim? Are you okay?

Master Vim: Hmm? Oh, yes, I suppose. I'm just feeling a little anxious for the battle that lies ahead.

Carl: I wouldn't worry. Once we take care of Port and Stroy, we'll just be on our way home, and probably forget this whole adventure ever happened. Or at least, I'll try to forget.

Master Vim: Really? So you won't tell your Punch Time Exploder friends about this?

Sheen: That depends, do you want us to tell them?

Master Vim: Oh, no, I'd very much like it to be a surprise for when I meet them in person... (Quietly) And use my magic to prepare for their ultimate downfall.

Jimmy: What was that?

Master Vim: Nothing, nothing.

Sam: "(Now even more suspicious) Uh-huh..."

Cosmo: "(Turns into an Among Us Character) Sus."

Master Vim: "Duh, I mean, tell them all about me by all means!"

Squidward: "Well we're more or less a separate series taking place in the same United universes, it might depend on if we crossover to their business or not."

Master Vim: "And what are the odds of that?"

Tucker: "Eh, 50/50, we're both kinda caught up on our own biz. Ya know, Bern has that war but not exactly a war in some logical technicality going on with this dude literally called "Rottenday" and we're trying to keep an ancient volcanic darkspawn out of it, it's hard to explain to other-dimensional people that are likely not so familiar with it."

Master Vim: "So it varies then. (Quietly) Then maybe odds are good they might get too caught up in their dimension's Void issues to make the Exploders aware of me. I might still have a chance. (Sam raises her eyebrow at that) Uh, sorry, anxious muttering, it's nothing, just, Manaria language calming hymns, nothing to concern yourselves with."

Patrick: Now, then, where did Port say we should meet up with him again?

Cosmo: Why don't we ask that convenient army coming straight toward us? (An army of Vulgametamanders and unwilling Vruirrels heads towards where the van is from the ground)

Danny: Uh-oh.

Timmy: Hold on, Master Vim. We may have to put up a fight!

Master Vim: "(Quietly) Now let's see what these Exploder off-shoots can REALLY do then."

At the front of the army was Stroy.

Stroy: "(With a techno Mega-Phone) Attention Off-Shoots of the Exploders. Your presence is an inconvenience to plans that otherwise do NOT relate to you in the slightest?!"

Jimmy: "(Responds with intercom) And by all means we're not much for interfering with the affairs of other dimensions, but someone from ours is causing trouble here and we were only trying to capture him. He even asked us to come to this planet."

Stroy: "(Quietly) And costed me a good thing with DSI in the process, the stupid idiot- (Openly) Well I'm prepared to turn over the NOW USELESS IDIOT BACK TO YOUR COSTEDY IN RETURN OF LETTING ME HAVE MY SLAVE LABOR PLANS IN PEACE?!"

Timmy: "(On intercom) You lost us at wanting to enslave the species you were originally gonna kill off! What is with that anyway? Straight up slavery's kinda a downgrade to full on genocide as a villain, don't ya think?"

Stroy: "Okay, in my defense, that was all Xerxes' thing, it was a product of his personal childhood trauma born from bad politics on the Vruirrels side. In fact, it wasn't even for a valid reason!? It was because a prank destroyed an outdated water tower with apparent cultural signifigance?! ONE KNOWN TO BREAK ON IT'S OWN ANYWAY?! Don't you think that's a DUMB reason to execute someone over?!"

Jimmy: "An argument is made that one extreme response to another extreme response doesn't make things better! And slavery is no complete moral superiority to GENOCIDE!"

Stroy: "I never said I was moving the loyalists of Xerxes away from his era's mandates to be NICE about it! It's because these rodents have potential to have a highly lucrative market to be a slave labor force that warlords, cartels or land developers would greatly benefit from, and Xerxes just straight up wants them all dead cause he won't stop being a CHILD about something albeit because of bad politics on the rodents' end!"

Jimmy: "Then it's WEIRDLY ironic you're leading a group of loyalists to a guy you think was an immature fool!"

Stroy: "To be fair, THAT is my only critique to Xerxes. That and his ill-placed aspirations of wanting to free the now forever destroyed Grand Evil!? Otherwise, he's still miles beyond the apologist sham Foo is?! Making our race bow and kneel to the other races and making the Vulgametamanders into a pacified joke?!"

Danny: "(Gets on intercom) So I take it the whole "Enslave the race my people were trying to kill off" spiel, is meant to be something MORE then you just being a humanitarian nightmare and greedy scum?"

Stroy: "(Chuckles)... Oh and I did so good hiding it. But very well. Yes. Enslaving those disgusting rodents is but ONE STEP of a multi-step staircase that is meant to elevate my own status! One that would get me attention of Vulameta Slave lords that have been inconvenienced by Foo's move to illegalize slavery! My people were used to be the top marketeers of slavery and it was what made our economy strong, but Foo ruined it?!"

Jimmy: "To be fair, slavery was actually more expensive to maintain then whatever immoral profit was worth in it. So, it wasn't just immoral and wrong, financially speaking it wasn't even worth doing monetary-wise. Like obviously the slaves would have to be cared for since they're LIVING INDENTURED BEINGS?!"

Needlemen: "That's what Foo argued about too in his speech- (Stroy snarled at him) AAAAAH?!"

Stroy: "SPARE ME THE PURITAN DETAILS! Point being, to the slave lords it was their cash-Klow being lost?! But if they saw that I was bringing it back up by holding a successful trade, they would finance my ability to run a campaign against Foo and run for Emperor! They would make it that it would look like the Vulgameta people "Overwhelmingly" support me with a few, rigs here and there, and I, WILL BECOME EMPEROR?! I will return the Vulgametas to GLORY, and overthrow the human rule, ONCE AND FOR ALL?!"

Jimmy: "So all this is an overelaborate scheme to usurp Foo of the throne?"

Stroy: "And it would've worked if it wasn't for that STUPID CYBER RODENT ACTUALLY WANTING YOU PESTS TO COME HERE?! Cause of his stunt, I lost DSI's support, and my would've been slave trade is crippled now?! So again, I'm MORE then happy to throw the idiot your way if you're willing to turn the other cheek at what I'm doing-"

Sandy: "Bad news you Gila Monster?! We're morally obligated to not negotiate with desperados like you! You're another varmint we have to take down!"

Stroy:... Kill them. (The soldiers don't move) Hey! I said kill them! (The soldiers still don't move) What, is this, INSUBORDIATION?! (Suddenly the soldiers plopped down knocked out, shown to have been hit by stun lasers, leaving Stroy confused)

???: "Hey?! (Stroy was shocked to see a female Vruirrel with a specialized gun)

Stroy: "YOU?!?"

Female Vruirrel: "..... Originally, I was gonna save a major butt whooping for Xerxes, but heard he got himself KILLED trying to free an eldritch evil. Guess I'll settle for your sorry tail."

Stroy: "Hey now, if, if it helps, I, I got these worthless idiots to stop wanting to kill your people-"

Female Vruirrel: "TO TURN MY PEOPLE INTO BEASTS OF BURDEN?! SLAVERY'S NO SUPERIOR TO MASS GENOCIDE?!"

Stroy: "(Quietly) Okay now I wish I still had Smash here- (Openly) Look, all I am doing is trying to save my people from being turned weak by a weak emperor-"

Female Vruirrl: "Hey, anyone that takes the Vulgametas out of what Xerxes was doing is okay in my book. May as well take care of the stubborn STAINS he has difficulty to get rid of?!"

Stroy: "(Noted his soldiers getting up)..... KILL HER?! (The Soldiers didn't respond)....... WHAT NOW?! I SAID KILL HER?!"

Needlemen: "...... Okay ya know what?! NO! If all this was just so ya were trying to make yourself emperor and not even caring to what some of us had lost to what the Vruirrels taken from us, then you're no general NOR sergeant of ours?! (The Soldiers began to stand behind Needlemen) But ya know what? I will say that you're still right that it's time to not taking Xerxes' word seriously anymore. He's dead anyway and not emperor anymore. So we're NOT gonna stand behind what's literally a lamer version of him!?"

Stroy: "(Angered snarl)?! You, worthless, insignificant TWAT?! I AM WEARING SMASH'S HELMET?! I- (The Female Vruirrel shot the helmet off as it lands all the way to Needlemen's head)....."

VVM Soldier 1: "...... Not anymore, Sergeant...... HAIL GENERAL NEEDLEMEN?! (The Soldiers began hailing the new General!)"

Needlemen: "NEATO?! Maybe this will get my Ex-Girlfriend back!"

Stroy: "(Beyond enraged) Grrrrrrrrrrrrr?! (At the Female Vruirrel) THAT'S IT?! I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS BACK TO KILLING ALL OF YOU DICEASE-RIDDLED VRITS?! (Charges at her with a lazer ax) GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?! (He suddenly gets knocked out by Jumpin' Port)"

Jumpin' Port: I will have my justice against SpongeBob! (He swiftly jumps toward the Nicktoons Hero Gang's van) All right, you punks, get ready for- (Vim suddenly blasts him down) Ahh! Oh, come on! Will everyone just stop usurping my position as main villain?!

Danny: Whoa! Thanks, Master Vim!

Master Vim: No... Thank you. Now remove his dimension hopping technology so that I may confront the Punch Time Exploders on what they've done to these United Universes!

Jimmy: "..... And, dare I ask why you suddenly want this man's tech?"

Jumpin' Port: Okay putting my revenge wanting aside here, I have to agree with the giant-head kid here, what the hell are you talking ab- (Vim shorts out Port's cybernetic body, rendering him unconscious)

Master Vim: If I may continue. I guess it's time to be honest. Bringing you bunch here was BEYOND an accsident. See, I wasn't trying to summon them to help with what indeed was just irrelivent events of stubborn Xerxes Loyalists nor to deal with this sad idiot dimensional ALREADY having been dealt with if not for Stroy! But I will admit it was a charity on my part to distrupt them. My actual aim was to PUNISHED THEM?!

Sam: "KNEW YOU HAD AN ALTERIOR MOTIVE?!"

Timmy: "Ugh, it figures. Let me guess, angry Void Fanboy?"

Master Vim: MISTAKE ME NOT AS LOYAL TO THE GRAND EVIL?! If anything, by all means, I'm glad that the Punch Time Exploders have destroyed the Grand Evil of our United Universes!

Squidward: "(Enraged for all he was made to put with cause of him) THEN WHAT'S YOUR FLAPPING BEEF WITH THEM YOU MISERABLE OLD FART?! (BREATHES ANGERLY)!?"

Master Vim:..... Well, again, not to be ungrateful of them ridding us of our Voidian. If anything, good on them, gives a good sign they'll do it to your realm's void someday too! But there was a design that was forever disrupted now with the Grand Evil destroyed sooner then planned. There was more to the story about the Diamond of the Ancients. (He slams his staff and projects an image for the heroes)

(In the projection...)

Master Vim: (narrating) At the end of our Great Universal War, the Grand Evil had cursed the Xandoran Royal Family to have them possessed by its evil. Xandora III was the first, cursed with a third eye at birth, and Xandora V had kept this time of evil going until the original used the Power of Manaria to seal the Grand Evil in Xandora's Moon. Xandora X was the first to stoke the fires of corruption until Xandora XIII, aka Xandora the Evil, led the assault that was the Second Universal War. After Xandora XV's revolution and the subsequent bringing of Cosmosa, the corruption was dwindling. Xandora XX was a close call because she didn't mind the somewhat embarrassing nickname, and Xandora XXX was too pure of heart to let evil set in. But it all changed when Xandora XXXV witnessed her mother being murdered by Xerxes XXIII and was driven from grace. Then the Diamond of the Ancients came. The inscription said, "For those who have brought us here on this day and age, the chosen one who shall wield this diamond shall lead these Universes to the path of equality born of good and evil." When the Diamond was forgotten, we of the Manaria Council had looked to the future and it was prophesied that our current Queen, Xandora XL was to be possessed by the Grand Evil and the one chosen by the Diamond would destroy the Evil forever. But then... Xerxes XXX happened.

The projection replayed Xerxes screwing things up.

Master Vim: "He disrupted the prophesied path and.... Well albeit led to exactly what was supposed to happen anyway. The Chosen One destroying the Grand Evil. (That was shown)... The Grand Evil was destroyed earlier than expected, Xandora XL spared of the intended fate of being another Xandora the Evil, and we avoided a prophesied era of villainy resurgence."

The projection ended....

Timmy: "..... WELL WHAT'S THE FREAKING PROBLEM THEN, DUDE?!"

Sandy: "Yeah it sounds to me that you're mad at them for preventing something that sounded terrible."

Master Vim: "Far from it. No, my anger isn't toward the tragedy they canceled... It's that the Exploders and by extension Cosmosa and her Cosmic Dragon Mistress disrupted a long-term plan! Terrible as the Grand Evil still is, he would've given good a proper purpose again then having grown FAT and content with this prolonged era of prosperity! Cause there was a reason why the Xandoran Royal Line is cursed to be possessed by him. The mortal coil on them is meant to artificially HUMBLE the Grand Evil in a sense to make him WANT to work with mortal villains! So yes, Xerxes was meant to "Free" The Grand Evil, but not in the purest state, it's literally too evil to work with the being it had influenced! Giving the Grand Evil mortal suits is meant to keep him reasonable. What was SUPPOSED to happen is that Xerxes forces Xandora XL to surrender, is subjugated by the curse to be possessed by him, Xerxes becomes what's like what "Rottenday" is to your realm, and DSI is used as a basis for the rise of a villain dystopia that finally slaps good out of complacency and fight off the sudden villainy plague! But it was RUINED when the exploders found the Chosen One, Roxtrot, EARLIER THEN PLANNED, DISRUPTED XERXES, FORCED HIM TO FREE THE GRAND EVIL IN ITS PURE STATE, GOT HIM KILLED, AND DESTROYED THE GRAND EVIL! Our universe prevented of proper balance, cause of Cosmosa's Cosmic Dragon mistress deciding to get rid of the Grand Evil TOO EARLY! So now, we're stuck with villainy TOO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING ON ITS OWN, good practically for naught for when evil should shape up on its own, and a destiny cut short! Because of that, our scales will NEVER be fixed?! Ever!? That was the real reason I tried to bring THEM here?!"

Danny: "....... Dude... You do realize people would've DIED from all that, right?"

Master Vim: "..... Well again, not saying that it isn't good riddance that cosmic cancer of a Voidian is gone, it's just that-"

Jimmy: "Look, Vim, you are saying that you're mad at Bernadette and the Punch Time Exploders for doing what ANY OTHER HERO OF ANY DIMENSION, OR PERHAPS EVEN OF ANOTHER MULTIVERSE, WOULD'VE DONE IN THEIR SHOES?! Isn't it the point of a hero to prevent a would've been villain caused dystopia?!"

Master Vim: (Starting to realize the mistake of his anger) Well, I'm not saying that the Grand Evil wasn't supposed to be stopped once and for all, it was just, earlier than planned?! There was going to be an aim to recruit any and all native heroes here and-

Timmy: "Dude, the fact a cosmic dragon went out of their way to make it that the Grand Evil's gone at all before he got to do his worst crud yet, speaks VOLUMES on how it's better to get rid of Voids before they get to REALLY do damage! LIKE WHAT OURS DID?! Because the High Council were scared of implications of what destroying him NOW would do, they ended up being viewed as a lazy joke to what they are?! In our universes, it got bad to the point that even being MINORLY INCONVINIENCED puts you on the path of villainy?! NEVER MIND THIS DUDE'S PROBLEM?! (Points to Port). HE GOT MAD THAT SPONGEBOB WASN'T THROWN IN JAIL DISCRIMINATELY AND NOW WAS TRYING TO GET REVENGE?! That's what Void energy does to people?! AND HERE YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU WANTED VOID ENERGY IN THIS DIMENSION TO "FIX BALANCE"?!"

Master Vim: "... Okay, thinking clearly now, I realize how bad what I was ranting about before sounded. I see the Cosmic Dragon's wisdom now."

Squidward: "(Angered) There is STILL the matter of you basically kidnapping us and that you were planning to threaten the Exploders!"

Master Vim: "Threaten" is a strong word. I was going for something more along the lines of a stern talking to, and, originally a bit of a magic punishment- DUH, nothing severe, just, a magical ban from this dimension at worst, a simply benign thing?! (The Nicktoons all stare firmly at Vim) I'm going to be made to answer for all this, am I?

(Later, Port and Stroy are being taken away by the police)

Police Officer: And finally... Master Vimozee Jane von Dannington. (The heroes laugh)

Master Vim: It was my mother's name!

Police Officer: The Manaria Council will hear of this incident, and you will be awaiting trial.

Master Vim: Understood. But before you take me away, I have something to say to these heroes. (To the heroes) At least promise me that you will do something about your Void very soon.

SpongeBob: Well it's kinda largely Bernadette and her group's thing, but otherwise yes. We promise, we will do what we can.

Master Vim:... (Chuckles) Then you really are like them, in your own way. (He gets put in the jail car and it drives away)

Timmy: Well, that wraps up another mission.

Wanda: "Is it weird that we're letting the AUUians have Port?"

Jimmy: "Yes it seems questionable, but off camera we agreed to give a bit of a temporary transfer cause they offer technologies to help de-tox Port of Void Energy. And as is we're kinda stuck with a forced obligation to give villains to Tricorn-Katras as of the last Punch Time Exploder adventure. Yes Tricorn-Katras is a firm prison, but revenge can be a stubborn influence, and given that rabbit's beef, it's uncertain if it can keep that locked up. And also, having to juggle between a vengeful rabbit and dealing with the prophecy onto Mawgu sounded kinda complicated and distracting, so, it is what it is for now."

Squidward: Well either way I'm glad Spongebob's most idiotic mistake yet is behind us AGAIN..... Except for one thing... HOW DO WE GET BACK TO VOLCANO ISLAND?!

Danny: "Oh, right, the Wizard dude promised to send us back, frick."

Timmy: "And of course, the cops confiscated Port's teleportation tech."

Sandy: "And for how advanced this dimension is, dimension-hopping's still based in theory!"

Female Vruirrel: "(Comes up) If it helps, you're welcome to see Vim's fellow Manaria Users. I'd imagine they would want to make up for what he pulled. Vim is usually a good user, but he tends to be a bit of a prophecy loyalist, even for bad ones. His prophecy puritan ways do sometimes land him in legal trouble."

Jimmy: "I suppose that helps, Miss... I'm sorry it's late in the episode and we didn't got your name nor a chance to properly interact."

Female Vruirrel: Oh, you can just call me... Zandee.

SpongeBob: You're Zandee Wargander?

Tucker: But how did...?

Zandee: Oh, Foo Kang arranged for my release after he found out about Stroy trying to enslave my people. And now, I must go. (she leaps away) Watch your backs the next time you're in my Universal neighborhood!

Squidward: "Kinda the plan for future reference! (Zandee leaves the parkour way)......"

Timmy: "And with that, I think it's time for us to finally vamoose. I feel like we did what we can for now in this crazy future style dimension."

Meanwhile....

Fahrenheit and Dr. Nark arrived at a chamber with a vial of Port's blood.

Fahrenheit: "Well, we lost out on a new potential Xerxes in Stroy, but better losing out on that then getting arrested again. It was a nightmare getting away from the Evil Catchers as is, the cube would've been a bigger nightmare?!"

Dr. Nark: "And kinda a waste giving up on that Port guy too, but, we still have what we wanted: His Dimension Hopping Tech Schematics, AND, his blood for our, project."

???: "So I trust you have the sample of that other dimension's void energy then?" (A Snake-like Barracuda AUUian slithered in with metallic grasping claws that pinch ominously)

Fahrenheit: "(Bows) But of course, Dr. Sinestrin Devastatoron. At the least Port was able to provide that much of an ideal example. (Dr. Sinestrin grabbed the sample)...."

Dr. Sinestrin: "(Hisses pleased), Yeeeeeessssssssss. (Slithers over to a chamber tube with a piece of a destroyed claw from the Grand Evil was seen) The Grand Evil may be gone, but We at DSI can still make use of his Voidian Properties. (Hisses as he injects the sample of Port's blood into a suction tube that then gets into the claw, of which began to combine the two void energies and turn them into a Void Stone)..... Behold, a Void Stone. (Breathes ominously), The secret of making another Voidian Entity, and, for our case, it can enable us to handpick and select any individual to turn into more villains, so that our company can THRIVE again! But most importantly, when the time comes and we have a healthy villain population again, it will be how we can create a New Grand Evil for us! One that will be more, appreciative of its influenced then the original clearly never was."

Fahrenheit: "And later when we perfected the potential device of that flawed genius Port, DSI will soon be able to move into other dimensions and open up shop for other villains!"

Dr. Nark: "Um, there is just one question though... Who or WHAT would make an ideal candidate?"

Dr. Sinestrin: "(Hisses), Well, Manarian prophecies say the new age Queen was the one that was supposed to be the next one cursed to be possessed... May as well give that missed opportunity, hope for a new version of that canceled destiny when the time comes. (Wheezes and laughs sinisterly with hissing, looking over to a giant ray gun cannon designed to hold the stone and target select individuals). Now... Let's begin building up a new generation, of potential clientele."

## Epilogue

(On Volcano Island, the van arrives)

Danny: Okay... We're back.

Squidward: "So glad we're finally out of that Sci-Fi Nightmare."

Wise Old Crab: And a good thing, too. We need you more than ever, Chosen Ones. (the Water Goddess shows them an image of Tri-corn turning into a black statue by a huge laser beam)

Timmy: Is that Senator Tricorn?

Water Goddess: The very same. She's hollow on the inside.

Wanda: "Hasn't that always been true even before this point?"

Water Goddess: "(Rolls eyes) But not just metathorically speaking anymore."

SpongeBob: Is she okay?

Water Goddess: No, she is the opposite of okay! Senator Tricorn's heart has been extracted, and unless the dark Lord Rottenday gets his way, she will soon move on to the Spirit Realm.

Jimmy: What?!

Squidward: "WHY WOULD HE THREATEN SOMEBODY THAT ISN'T EVEN TAKING THE EXPLODERS SERIOUSLY?!"

Wise Old Crab: "Tricorn's an equal oppertunistic critic. She wasn't taking Rottenday seriously either. You don't have to be like me to figure how Rottenday intended on proven the falliacy on that logic."

Wanda: But, I don't think that was foretold in the legend.

Wise Old Crab: It wasn't, and I'm very confused.

Jimmy: How has her heart been extracted? Shouldn't she be dead?

Wise Old Crab: I suspect it has something to do with a different prophecy. The Ancient Greylander's Prophecy.

Squidward: Oh, fabulous. ALWAYS WITH THE FREAKING PROPHECIES?!

Wise Old Crab: The prophecy warned that the United Universes would descend into chaos caused by the dark wizard Lord Rottenday. The prophecy also told that the Princess Bernadette Willows would be the shield against evil we need. But Rottenday was crafty. He distracted Bernadette's army, and he struck our world with a scientific and magical machine that allowed him to artificially steal hearts, which he used to suck Tricorn's out like a bendy straw.

Timmy: Well, can't we... UN-suck it out or something?

Wise Old Crab: Bring back Tricorn's heart? It's very difficult.

Water Goddess: Yes... Almost impossible.

SpongeBob: Uh... If we can go to other worlds and survive perilous journeys, we can save Tricorn's heart!

Water Goddess: Only the Punch Time Exploders can do that! (Beat) And they're busy protecting certain worlds in the Disney Universe. (groans) Shelley?

Wise Old Crab: As you wish, my goddess. (To SpongeBob) Absorbent Yellow One, your connection with your Keyblade will grant you a spell that will allow you to track Tricorn's heart. You will have to go to other worlds, more different than the ones you have previously travelled to.

Cosmo: How will we find Tricorn's heart?

Wise Old Crab: You will have to interrogate any potential allies of Rottenday. I have contacted the Juju Boy to assist you from the sidelines, as his staff grants Juju Vision, allowing him to see the Magic Yorbels throughout the United Universes, and he has been tasked to collect one hundred of them to make the resurrection spell work.

Timmy: 100 Magic Yorbels?

Water Goddess: You think that sounds hard? Apparently, when Jibolba was a shaman's assistant, it used to take ten thousand Magic Yorbels to perform a resurrection spell.

Danny: Lucky us.

Water Goddess: Now go!

Before it happened....

Tricorn was in the middle of a big speech with Xena and Quidilien present.

Tricorn: "-And with that, I am proud to say that the unveiling of the new Popeyes location, is offically open! (Slices the red ribbon with her tail)...... And may I add will quickly that I am GLAD to be sure, that this supposed "Big Scary" NOT WAR Between two meager groups not even Goverment Based, is never something an actual threat to anyone! Let alone me. Cause be assured, good people. That stupid rottenday war is NEVER gonna be taken seriously in the history books- (Suddenly zapped into a statue by a beam as Xena screamed as Quidilen was shocked)......"

Xena: "TRICORN?!"

Quidilen: "SENATOR?!"

Suddenly, the beam began stealing an astral projection of a heart.

Xena: "TRICORN, NO?! (Quidilen held her back)!"

Quidilen: "MISS XENA, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS?!"

The Beam retreats with the heart.....

Xena: ".... (Breaks free of Quidilen and gets to Tricorn) SENATOR?! SENATOR?!....... (Starts sobbing)....... Senator..... Please...... This isn't funny?! TELL ME THIS IS LIKE ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR DUMB PUBLISTY STUNTS?!"

The Statue said nothing....

Xena: ".... (Plops down on the statue and began wimpering like a dog)....."

Quidilen: "..... (Sighs)..... (Quietly) Senator, I told you to take the warning from my law wizards more seriously?! (Gets to the podium) AHEM?!...... Good people of the city, I promise this problem is under control. In the meantime, Tricorn has priorly issued that if anything were to compromise her, I am legally permitted to become acting Senator in her diabilation. Tricorn will be issued to be taken to safety and I'll handle her duties until this issue is, resolved. (Quietly) Hopefully. (Openly) Questions will be handled in next week's press conference. (The press began to act up as Quidilin looks at Xena crying)...."

Xena: "(Crying)...... Senator...... No..... You're like a mother to me......"

Quidilin was especially broken by that, reminded of her own issues as she looks at her picture of the egg in secret.....

Qui's law wizards showed up....

Quidilin: "...... (Quietly) Take Miss Xena home and get the senator to Facility 7X."

The Law Wizards saluted her, as a majority of them moved toward the statue, only for Dark Cynder to intercept!

Dark Cynder: If only it were that easy, inferior wizards.

Cowardly Law Wizard: "S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-So Big!"

Stern Law Wizard: "Oh for goodness sake, at most she's just slightly longer and taller than Quidilin and Tricorn!"

Dark Cynder: Time you find out how brutal war can be. (She smacks the wizards away, then turns to cameramen) Are you recording this?! (the cameramen point the cameras at her) The United Universes will heed our warning! As of tonight, The TRUE Rottenday War has begun!

Quidilin: "Who are you to do this, what is the meaning of this?! (At Walkie Talkie) BULLMAN, GET YOUR TEAM DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW-" (Dark Cynder smacks the walkie talkie out of Qui's hands)

Dark Cynder: Foolish scarlet dragon. Not even your police force can help you now. Once this world is ours to rule, you will join Tricorn.

Quidilin puts on a brave face, but then she gets a good look at Dark Cynder and remembers... this is the form she took when she was controlled by Malefor... then she remembered saving Ignitus by parting the ring of fire for Spyro, Cynder and the PTE to help them make it...

Quidilin: C... Cy... Cynder? Is that you?

Dark Cynder: Yes, I am Cynder... or rather, Dark Cynder, loyal general of Lord Rottenday.

Quidilin: "..... D...... D...... Is this what happened to you?! (Starts shedding tears)...... Cynder, Cynder please, what happened to Spyro?! He, he can help you out of this, he did so before?! I, I can help you out of this, I don't want my baby serving another lunatic?!"

Dark Cynder: I wouldn't worry. Spyro will be found soon enough, then he will serve us, as we take over the United Universes.

Quidilin: Cynder, please...

Dark Cynder: Though I am curious... how do you know who I am?

Quidilin: What?

Dark Cynder: Why did you call me your "baby"? I hardly even know you.

Quidilin: Cynder... What have they done to you?

Dark Cynder: "Things even your worst nightmares dare not emulate. But seeing as you're a minor inconvenience, you will survive, for now. (Ruers appeared next to Dark Cynder).... (At the Ruers) Keep this sad fool from bothering me. (The Ruers block Quidilin from further interference as she walks away)....."

Quidilin: ...she... she doesn't remember me? (she lowers herself in a lying position as she starts crying)

## Next Time, In the A.U.U.

(Outside of Evil-Catchers HQ, dark and mysterious storm clouds gather)

(While inside, a portal similar to a Corridor of Darkness opens and two mysterious figures enter in ghost-like forms)

Figure 1: Are you ready?

Figure 2: Game face. (they move forward)

(Suddenly, cells containing villains explode as the villains run out in panic and the personnel scramble)

Buzzera: Everyone! Just calm down! There is no reason to panic! (Suddenly a Kruel flies out as a giant black and purple two-headed dragon stomps into the room)

Zezra: No... It's THEM! Evil-Catchers! Attack! (The Evil-Catchers charge forward and captured all the villains).

Several Kruel were taken out just in time by the arriving Roxtrot, who blasted away the two headed dragon as it snarled in pain and was forced to retreat!

Buzzera: "KRUELS?! But the Grand Evil was destroyed?!"

Zezra: "(As the villains were all contained)...... Then we have a problem."

The two headed dragon scowled in disappointment and continued its retreat!

(Later, in a desolate cave, a huge screen turns on as a newsreel is shown)

News Anchor: United Universal News Flash! The enigmatic Kruel Siblings have reemerged and tried to destroy the Evil-Catchers headquarters! Although thankfully this foolhardy attempt failed, this move has caused the duo to ghost their way onto the shared spot of the #1 Most Dangerous Villains in the United Universes, one place ahead of the devious Dr. Sinestrin Devastatoron. (the monitor shuts off as the two-headed dragon enters the room and separates into the ghost-like figures)

Figure #1: Well, dear sister, are you satisfied? We did all that and all we did was give the Catchers a scare, but they won ANYWAY?! I told you the Chosen One was an issue! WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU GO AFTER A GROUP TRAINED TO COMBAT EVIL!?

Figure #2: OH, SHUT UP! IT WAS A GOOD EFFORT! (The ghost-like figures shrink down to more corporeal forms resembling Rottenday and Dominator).... And for what it helps, it still shocked them enough that we're still above that fish from DSI.

Man: Well, at the least we can settle that we're not something to trifle with. I mean, we are Madame Kruelty and King Tyrantro, after all.

Madame Kruelty: (inhales sharply) Yeah, you're right. I knew it was touch and go ever since Xerxes kicked the bucket. Today's attack should've proved that the Evil-Catchers are getting sloppy. BUT THEY'RE STILL EFFECTIVE AS EVER! UGHHHH! THE KRUELS ARE AN UTTER JOKE NOW!

Tyrantro: Yes. Not an ideal way to start the New Villain Surrender Eradication and Revolution Act. What should've been proof of the consequences of messing with evil and darkness will just lead to stricter security. And don't blame the Kruels, their morale hasn't been the greatest ever since the Grand Evil died. Ugh... It sadly proves that evil is still TOO WEAK to really do anything then just surprise people. Not an ideal introduction.

???: "If it helpssssssssss... You got DSI's attention..."

Dr. Sinestrin crawled in with Fahrenheit and Dr. Nark.

Kruelty: "HEY! THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, FISH!"

Tyrantro: "Sister, hear him out before you rip heads off again!"

Dr. Sinestrin: "(Hisses), Your attempt was bold but would only scare them to increase security and all you have done is prove that another source of Voidian power remains. It is truly utterly clumsily of you two."

Kruelty: Hey, our powers aren't entirely Voidian-based and you know it!

Tyrantro: "Sister, plase! My apologies, it is why I'm the subtle one and my sister is usually the go-getter, it was HER clumsy idea?! All that effort and we can't liberate all those villains! Now they're doomed to be locked up forever in the best-case scenario, or worst, eventual reformation! Their potential as villains lost forever!"

Dr. Sinestrin: "What if I offer something that could not only prevent reformations, but could simply allow something to enable you to make a new generation faster than Evil Catchers can respond?"

Kruelty: "Tch, you DSI clowns are past your prime ever since Xerxes went kaput! Get lost before-"

Tyrantro: "SISTER?! Hear him out before you bite the metallic hands offering us HELP?!"

Kruelty: (She grumbled) Okay, fine.

Dr. Sinestrin: "For what it helps, even if it was a failure, the mere fact you two were so, even if foolhardy, bold enough to even TRY IT, basically usurped me of my hard-earned spot as most wanted."

Tyrantro: "Well I hope you don't take that personally, Doctor. But DSI was on hard times and people were ready to finally be complacent until we showed up."

Dr. Sinestrin: "What's a mere title to an investment opportunity? If more than that... Partner potential, even? I turned a surviving claw of the Grand Evil with the blood of an other-dimensional villain, into a Void Stone. (The two were shocked) I'm intending to use it as a power source for a machine that can enable us to make a new generation of villains. More than even the Evil-Catchers can readily react to...."

Tyrantro: "...... Perhaps in term, it would enable us to have an ability to build up our desired group? And of course you clearly benefit in having clientele again?"

Dr. Sinestrin: "Indeed. (Hisses proudly) We both would benefit from the Void Stone."

Tyrantro and Kruelty looked at each other, then smiled....

Tyrantro: "...... Very well doctor, then this calls for a partnership. Consider DSI the first companion of New Villain Surrender Eradication and Revolution Act. Or NVSERA for short. You can use the Void Stone to not only start giving DSI business again, but to permit us a chance to have workable members. Then, we can build up enough to not only have another shot at the Evil Catchers and actually do damage, but also to finally wipe the smug faces of the Xandorans."

Dr. Sinestrin: "Would it sweeten the deal that considering what was supposed to happen to the new queen, I intend to, when the time is right, would have her turn, into a new Voidian, one that will be more co-operative to mortal villains then the old one was?"

Tyrantro: "A funny irony. The Grand Evil was going to be set to possess Xandora XL.... A funny irony indeed, Sinestrin. I think I see why you held the spot before we still accidently usurped it even if it was PITIFUL of an attempt!"

Madame Kruelty: Well, give me credit brother, even if the move was botched, WE STILL GET FREE NOTERITY, AND NEW FRIENDS ANYWAY! Plus, their new Queen is such a dork! She'd make better use as a villain anyways! (they shift into their ghostly forms) This is going to be... (her voice changes to its raspy form) fun. (The two laugh maniacally as Sinestrin hissed pleased as we fade to black)
