Trunked in the Bottom

The Loungers go into Trunk Bottom and have a little party of celebrating Sonny's next anniversary on Oceonous. But the anniversary gets awry when Sonny and ZongueBob are trapped inside the Oxydome's slowly-flooding water control system by the Villain Legion with a mysterious new member and have only a few moments left to hang out and share secrets before the other heroes comically bust them out. They share stories about their good times, how they got their lives started, and so on. But at the end of it, Sonny and ZongueBob end up doing something interesting. Meanwhile, this new member of the Villain Legion seems to be up to something big and takes advantage of the Villain Legion's lack of proper discipline, overkill methods, and treating their forces like expendable dummies who die hundreds of times over, with greater endeavors in mind.

## Scenes

#### **ZongueBob Gets His Job**

Oxydome Chamber

* Sonny: Well... Looks like we're stuck here. Power is out, the place is flooding with water, Sau seems to be out of commission since I can't contact her... But at least I'm stuck with you.
* ZongueBob:... I... Guess that's a good thing?
* Sonny: Maybe. Seriously, when did the Villain Legion get so good?

Meanwhile...

* Murdock:... Well, we're getting close to the Oxydome's power core. We destroy it, we destroy the Oxydome, and everyone in it.
* Crobra: AT LAST! The Villain Legion will be free to wreak havoc.
* Murdock: Don't get too cocky. Everyone here has had enough trouble after handling the Loungers' beatings. (He notices then being bruised, injured, or cartoonishly ruined)
* Crobra: Upup, no breaks.
* Creature 1: BUT WE'RE THIRSTY! We need water!
* Crobra: There's water EVERYWHERE!
* Creature 2: WE MEANT WATER WE CAN DRINK!!!
* Crobra: Well maybe you should've brought some beforehand. You guys lack foresight, and you're not going to learn your lesson if I give you freshwater. Maybe dehydration will teach you a lesson. Now, we have a job to do here! (He and the other Villain Legion members advanced as the forces were beaten and weak)
* Murdock:... Allow me. (He used his magic to heal them)... And here. (He hands the dehydrated creature a bottle of freshwater as he smiled)

Oxydome Chamber

* Sonny: However they did it, looks like we'll be here for a while. Luckily, this is the Oxydome's most waterproof safehouse.
* ZongueBob:... Well... For how long I'm not sure.
* Sonny: Eh, we've got an emergency power grid, but it's on limited supply. Until those guys come out to help us, we might as well take the time we have to ourselves.
* ZongueBob:... Do we, tell stories?
* Sonny:... Eh, got nothing better to do. Kay, shoot.
* ZongueBob: We can try... When I first got hired by the C&C.
* Sonny:... I can get to that.

Flashback

* (Sonny): C&Cs is the AUU's most popular fast food service. It's owners, the Cweeblezome Brothers Dirogo and Vorgo, were Yuruns who had Cerwan's Mutation, giving them a highly-developed sense of taste and smell. This allowed them culinary mastery. They could smell and taste any ingredient from anything they ate.
* (ZongueBob): Heh. Bet Crokton would've used that to get the Tetra Googer formula.
* (Sonny): Yep. They used this ability as food critics, chefs, anything in regards to making food. They've tasted literally everything in the AUU, so, they used the experience and the cataloging from these careers, and created their own menu selection, making the first C&Cs. But, their food became so popular, people funded it to stretch from more than the restaurant's place in Mopria. Soon enough, the two had customers through the roof. C&C Consumers and Restaurants, was born. It was the best food business to reach the highest degree in AUU history. It still continues to this day, and sells a wat-ton of food, and despite serious controversy, which is common for a fast-food business, really, they became great.
* ((Shenzi)): Heh, we already have a restaurant branch here in OUR UUniverses that has a habit of sabotaging bodies.... It's called McDonalds. (Rimshot)
* (Sonny): So... How'd Tetrus become an employee for this famous company? I mean, I knew Oceonous was isolated in years in the AUU's glory gold rush era, but, how did he get so good?
* (ZongueBob): Well, after he discovered the secret Tetra Googer formula, he seemed to fall flat when C&C outshined him. After that, he stayed secluded in a deep depression, that seemed endless. But then, his luck changed when he used all the money he got from his Tetra Googer sales to buy up a bankrupt separate food-chain place. And with a few minor alterations, like ending up impressing C&C executives, on this world of course, with his goodies and becoming a sponsor for a while... Well... His time with C&C was born.
* (Sonny): Impressive.... So... How did you get hired?
* (ZongueBob): Well, it wasn't easy... But nothing IS ever easy...
* ZongueBob: (He's seen standing a fair distance from the C&C)… There it is. The finest eating establishment ever established for eating: The Tetrus C&C, home of the Tetra Googer... And other stuff, but specifically the TG. And the ONLY eatery in town with a Help Wanted sign in the window now… As of this year. After years and years of searching, being born for the culinary arts of greasy goodness and unhealthy foods that everyone will still love, I FINALLY found the hotspot for it all! So I'm gonna go in there, march straight to the manager, look them DEAD in the eye, lay it on the line and say with utmost clarity THAT I CAN’T DO IT!!! I COULD NEVER DO IT IN THE LAST FEW TIMES, AND THIS IS NO DIFFERENT!! I’LL BE A SHAM TO THE FRYCOOK COMMUNITY IF I GET EMBARRASSED THE SAME WAY AS THE LAST FEW TIMES HERE!! I’LL JUST BE MY OWN BUSINESS WITH MY FOOD STAND!! I probably know that it might be illegal to have an unlicensed business, BUT I- (He bumped into Atrick) DAAH!!!… Oh, hey, At!
* Atrick: Oh hey, ZongueBob, I was just dropping by to get some C&C, and I couldn’t help but hear you whining in lack of confidence. So, tell me, ZB… WHEEERE do you think you're going?
* ZongueBob: I was just...
* Atrick: No, you're not just. You’re not justing ANYTHING! Not even MY MOM!! You're going to the C&C and getting that job!
* ZongueBob: I CAN’T!!! Don't you see?! I'm not good enough!
* Atrick: Ah, that’s just because you’re afraid you’ll embarrass yourself like those other places. Let’s be honest, they were a buncha chumps! They wouldn’t know a great and talented fry cook if they put them out in the sun!… Does that make sense, cuz it sounds like it doesn’t.
* ZongueBob: Are you trying to make a point or just turning it into another point again?
* Atrick: My point is that you NEVER gave up. You’ve been dreaming of showing your grand skills to a big food business! They’d be FOOLS to turn someone like YOU away! If anything THEY’LL be the ones who’re embarrassed.
* ZongueBob: Are you sure? I mean-
* Atrick: Hey! Whose first words were… Uhh… Uhhh…
* ZongueBob: May I take your order?
* ((SpongeBob)): NO WAY, THOSE WERE MY-
* ((Squidward)): OH WOW, AN AUU COUNTERPART WHO HAS NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OUNCE OF ORIGINALITY HAS THE SAME FIRST WORDS, WHO THE HELL COULD HAVE EVER GUESSED THAT IN A MILLION-
* ((Everyone)): SHUT UP!!!
* Atrick: Yeah! Whose first words were THOSE?!
* ZongueBob: Mine, I just-
* Atrick: RIGHT! Who made a spatula from… Uhhh… The pieces of OTHER spatulas?… When he was 1?
* ZongueBob:… I did.
* Atrick: Who’s uh… Who’s uhhhhhh… Who’s a cheese-looking dude with holes?!
* ZongueBob: (Record scratch) Okay, you’re not even TRYING at this point!
* ((SpongeBob)): Well at least THAT moment wasn’t ripped off scene-by-scene.
* ((Squidward)): Eh more like the original scenes scrambled with other original scenes.
* ((ZongueBob)): We didn’t ASK for a critic to our story!
* Atrick: Alright, Plan B! Remember when you had that awesome cookout and you made so many foodstuffs that the people didn’t need breakfast lunch or dinner the next day? How many did you make?
* ZongueBob: 1,067. And that wasn’t even my all-time record.
* Atrick: And when was THAT?
* ZongueBob: The same day I made my own food stand. Sold 10,090 meals in a single afternoon.
* Atrick: SEE?! Not even a PRO could do that! It’s physically impossible! EXCEPT FOR YOU!
* ZongueBob:… Yeah. Not even those with multiple limbs or those who play V-games all day could pull that off.
* Atrick: So tell me, what exactly is there to be embarrassed about?! You were TOO GOOD FOR THOSE OTHER PLACES! THIS is the place for you!
* ZongueBob: Yeah!!
* Atrick: So who’s ready?!
* ZongueBob: I’M ready!
* Atrick: SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT, DAMMIT!!!
* ZongueBob: I’M READY!!
* Atrick: BETTER THAN THAT!!!
* ZongueBob: **I’M READYYYYYY!!!!!!**
* Atrick: NOW GET IN THERE!!!
* ZongueBob: YEEEEEAAAAH!!! (He ran) Ready ready ready ready ready!!

Tetrus’ C&C

* Mr. Tetrus: MR. CEPHWAAAARD!!
* Cephward: WHAAAT?!?
* Mr. Tetrus: I told you to send out those fliers of me latest Canned Tetra Googer 3! Where’s all me PAYIN CUSTOMERS?!
* Cephward:… You know what, Mr. Tetrus? I DID SEND OUT THOSE FLIERS!! NO ONE, WANTS YOUR TETRA, GOOGER, IN A CAN!!
* Mr. Tetrus: What?! Of COURSE they want me Canned Tetra! It’s the food of the future, so I sold MILLIONS the first time around!
* Cephward: And LOOK what’s happened since then! You RESOLD used cans from the DUMPSTER OUT BACK AFTER WASHING THEM, to ‘cut costs’, and then got chewed out for it by the H-Net, the highest authority known to man! You’re DONE selling GOOGER… \*GAAAAAASP\* IN A CAN! Move onto something else!
* Mr. Tetrus: I tried! It’s HARD getting with it. Last week, one customer was like ‘THAT’S SO YESTERYEAR’, then ANOTHER was like ‘THAT was so YESTERWEEK’!! YOU GET THE IDEA!!! This generation is turning into garbage!
* Cephward: Probably because you FEED them garbage.
* Mr. Tetrus: \*Sigh\* Just go clean the windows! Especially that one with a marker drawing of you with that… PFF-PFF-PFFT, actually made a good attraction. I’ll think of something!
* Cephward: I hope so. You have NO idea what it was like looking for a job before this. This job wasn’t even my last choice. This is the ONLY job that I can afford to keep until I can become a true ARTIST! (He went outside and tried washing the marker off the window)
* ZongueBob: Ready ready ready ready ready!!
* Cephward: Oh, no. ZongueBob. Ugh, what’s he want now? (He noticed the Help Wanted poster)… AAAUAAH!!! M-M-MR. TETRUUUUUUS!!! (He went inside to see him bathing in a tub of money)… Uhhhh…
* Mr. Tetrus: WHAT IS IT NOW?! Also, don’t ask! THIS is how I think!
* Cephward: OKAY, TETRUS, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, I NEED TO-
* ???: PERMISSION TA COME ABOARD, CAPTAIN?!
* Cephward: FISHPASTE!! (They came out to see him)
* ZongueBob: (Handsome voice) After years of scouring Trunk Bottom, I have finally found the place to put my culinary skills to the test! You will NEVER find a better fry cook in town than me in your entire lives! (Normal voice) So now I’m ready to show you what I got! (He walks in, but trips on a nail and cartoonishly bounces around the restaurant while Tetrus gets out of his money bath and gets dressed, and ZongueBob lands in front of his feet just in time) So, uh, when do I start?
* Tetrus: Well, lad, it looks like you don't even have your sea legs.
* ZongueBob: Mr. Tetrus, please! I'll prove I'm C&C material! Ask Cephward, he'll vouch for me. (Tetrus and Cephward quickly walk away from ZongueBob)
* Cephward: (Deep breath)… No.
* Mr. Tetrus: Ya sure? He had the guts to keep tryin’.
* Cephward: Yep. He cooks as well as my mother, and I LIKED her cookies, and nobody else.
* Mr. Tetrus: Well I question your tastes.
* Cephward: TRUST me, sir. His annoying moments as MY neighbor would run you outta business.
* Mr. Tetrus:… Exactly how annoying are we talking?
* Cephward: So annoying it ruins your chances at happiness on a regular basis. You really want that to happen?
* Mr. Tetrus:… Nope. (They went back to ZongueBob) Alright then, lad. If you can get the finest and most expensive high-tech spatula in the market, you’re in.
* ZongueBob: Oh you don’t mean the Holo-Spatula with Sensory Attachments and Hyperdrive?
* Mr. Tetrus:… Uhhhhh… Yeah!
* ZongueBob: Well WONDERFUL, because coincidentally I’ve been looking to BUY it myself. I’ve been saving the cash. So it’s done and done! I SHALL NOT LET YOU DOWN!!!
* Mr. Tetrus: (He was literally holding him)… Could you do so in THIS instance?
* ZongueBob: (He did that) AND AWAAAAYYYY!! (He fled off)
* Mr. Tetrus:… Welp, we won’t be seeing him again.
* Cephward: Wahaow! I heard him use fancy words before, BUT A HOLO-WHAT?!? (They both laughed)
* Mr. Tetrus: Heh. But seriously, who’s gonna wanna get some loser like HIM aboard their crew?
* ???: I certainly would. (Crokton appeared) Hey, Tetrus.
* Mr. Tetrus: Crokton! Takin the DIRECT approach for me formulers, eh? Well guess what? YER STILL NOT GETTIN EM! I’ve hidden em in a deep dark place you’ll NEVER find!
* Crokton: Your rectum isn’t a secret to ANYONE, Tetrus.
* Mr. Tetrus: (As Cephward laughed out loud) WHA-NOO!!! IT’S NOT IN MY RECTUM!!!
* Crokton: Plus, did you really think I’d come here for them publicly WITHOUT any backup?
* Mr. Tetrus: Ah… No.
* Crokton: Well here’s a little fun fact Cephy forgot to mention. That zongue? He’s the Local Zongue Cook himself.
* Mr. Tetrus: AH-… He IS?!?
* Cephward: Maunucles!
* Crokton: My food may be crap, but who better to make THEM better than HIM?! With him, I’m gonna RUN YOU OUTTA BUSINESS!! Hahahahahahahahaa!!!
* Mr. Tetrus: OH NO YOU AIN’T!! (He tried to step on him as he was merely a small decoy)
* Crokton Decoy: Haha, suckoooooooohhhhrrrr…
* Tetrus: We gotta get that lad back before HE does!!! (A beep was heard)
* Intercom: YOU’RE FORGETTING A MASSIVE ORDER, CHITINHEADS!!!!
* Tetrus: OH CRUD, THAT’S RIGHT!!! (He got the coordinates) We’ll hope the lad comes in and that spatula of his is ACTUALLY real. This order’s a BIG, BIG one, and we can’t miss it, or I might get a bad image!
* Cephward: Really, sir?
* Mr. Tetrus: LOOK, IT’S HAPPENING 11 TIMES BEFORE!!! COME ON!!! TO THE FOOD HOVERTRUCK!!!

Batman-Themed Hovertruck Intermission

* Mr. Tetrus: (They drove the C&C Food Hovertruck to a large picnic field)… So this is where the load of orders are, huh? In good ol’ Central Park?
* Cephward: Phyeah. Like it’s good old on anything.
* Mr. Tetrus: Alright. All we gotta do is wait for these new payin customers. Maybe it’s a special birthday or some-…
* Cephward:… What?
* Mr. Tetrus:… Do you smell it?
* Cephward: Smell what? The grease in this dump truck?
* Mr. Tetrus: NO! That smell… The kinda smelly smell… The kinda smelly smell that smells… SMELLY!… (A glass shatter was heard as he realized)… Unionfish!
* Cephward: Sorry, what now?
* Mr. Tetrus: UNIONFIIIIISH!!! (A gigantic school of unionfish surround the hovertruck)
* Cephward: PLEASE, PLEASE, QUIET! (Everything goes quiet) Is this any way to behave, hmm?! I mean, your species have the BIGGEST schools on the planet! Surely you guys gotta have space. I mean… There’s no need to form a literal ocean of yourselves, so can you show a little decency, form a neat, single-file line in front of the hovertruck, WHILE I TAKE A BRIEF INTERMISSION-
* Mr. Tetrus: (Pulls him back) NO, Mr. Cephward! We gotta do this together until that zongue person shows. Alright, everyone? Do what he said and form a single-file line, WHILE I TAKE A BRIEF INTERMISSION!!! (He hid in the bathroom)
* Cephward:… Maunucle Butt! Uhh… (The unionfish paused)… So who’s fir- (The unionfish starts shaking the hovertruck) AAAHHHH!!! (Crokton looked on with a smile on his face)
* Crokton: Hahaha. Too perfect. They’ll look bad in comparison. As for me… THAT ZONGUE IS MINE!!!

Trade N' Mart

* ZongueBob: (Singing) *Do do do do do do, spatula, spatula, sensory attachments.*
* ???: Psst... Young man. (ZongueBob looks around to see where this voice came from)... Yes, over here.
* ZongueBob:... Is that a ghost?!
* ???: Nono, if I was a ghost, would this place be open? Just come a little closer. (ZongueBob walks forward)... Closer... (ZongueBob walks) NOT THAT CLOSE- \*Crunch\* AAAAIIIIIYAAAAHHHHHUUUAHH!!!! (ZongueBob lifts up his shoe revealing a squished Crokton) YOU BLASTED BRAINDEAD MAUNACLE CHEESE HEAD! I mean... Hi.
* ZongueBob:... Uh, who are you?
* Crokton: You can just call me, Mr. Crokton.
* ZongueBob: Okay... (Peels Crokton off his shoe as he moaned in pain) Uh... What do you want?
* Crokton: I just want to talk.
* ZongueBob: Well, can you make it quick? I got a task to complete for the C&C.
* Crokton: Meh, I'm sure they can wait.

Meanwhile...

* Mr. Tetrus: (The hovertruck was tossed around by the unionfish) All hands on deck! Get your anchors outta yer pants!!!
* Cephward: ONE SINGLE FILE LINE IS ALL I AAAAASK!!!!

Trade N' Mart

* Crokton: But speaking of C&Cs, I wonder how it is that a famous cook like you would settle for working in a rusty grease trap run by a greedy man like Tetrus? What if I told you I could offer you a job at a C&C that's even BETTER than his in every way?
* ZongueABob: Better than Tetrus?! Is such a thing even possible? Do you know any place like that?
* Crokton: I'm not supposed to reveal this, but... It's MY restaurant.
* ZongueBob: YOU?
* Crokton: Yes, you see, I'm in the C&C business myself. I paid off the building, and I got my recipes. All I need now, is my own in-store critic and chef.
* ZongueBob: I don't know...
* Crokton: Tell you what, I'll pay for your holo-spatula. All you have to do is come work for me in my C&C. But in return, you also have to pay me... With one of those... (Starts to drool) Tender... Delicious... Tetra Googers!
* ZongueBob: Aaaaaaaaand you would need a Tetra Googer why? I thought you said Tetrus' place was inferior to yours, what's so special about a Tetra Googer?
* Crokton: ("Oh thank Nepiton, he doesn't know about me!") Well, recently, my business has been a little... Poopy, lately.
* ZongueBob: Poopy?
* Crokton: People keep saying that's all I sell. But it's just meat that hasn't been given proper ingredients. It just needs the right kind.
* ZongueBob:... So, is that what this is about? You basically want to steal secrets from another C&C?
* Crokton: And how is it stealing if we work in the same business?
* ZongueBob: I think it's stealing because each C&C is like an individual. A person with their own talents. Taking from another would be like stealing a portion of an individual's brain and adding it to your own. It's not enjoyable for either of them.
* Crokton: Well, I tend to think of the C&C business like a hivemind. It's like an individual, and it shares things about each other. That IS how the business boomed here.
* ZongueBob: I don't think so.
* Crokton: Well it certainly kept it from dying like many others. Bottom line, he's stubborn as hell and he hogs the fast food industry for himself.
* ZongueBob:... Well, he is cheap, so... I guess that does sound like him? But still, it feels wrong. Getting into competition with two buildings of the same fast food corps is a little... Above my comfort zone. Tell you what, maybe I'll work for Tetrus a little bit and see how bad it really is, and then I'll-
* Crokton: NO!!!... Uh... I mean... Why don't you check out MY place first? Wouldn't want to, get a biased opinion, now would you?
* ZongueBob: It's competing buildings of the same company. I'm sure YOU'VE got a biased opinion too. That's how rivals work. Neither side is right or wrong, and it'd be MORE wrong to choose one over the other blindly. I must know about you more, so why don't you tell me?
* Crokton: Mmmmmm, I, just, you know, want an honest buck and want to have a decent amount of customers, that's all.
* ZongueBob: By mooching off of someone else's recipes? Plagiarism is NOT my cup of tea. Are you sure you're even a decent person?
* Crokton: Is Tetrus?
* ZongueBob:... No comment, but, I still feel like you need to be more open.
* Crokton: I am.
* ZongueBob: Then why do you want to steal from Tetrus?
* Crokton: Who WOULDN'T want to steal from Tetrus? Like I said, his competition is unshakable.
* ZongueBob: And is stealing from him any better? I'm sorry, Mr. Crokton, but I'm not really comfortable working for you even if what you say is true. You seem a little too suspicious. Just let me try out Tetrus' place, and I will get back to you. (He left)
* Crokton: NO, WAIT!!! (He was gone)... DRAT!!! If he gets back to Tetrus, he'll learn all about me!! I can't let that happen!! (On communicator) Karrer? Plan B!
* (Karrer): Is there EVER a moment when you DON'T need Plan B?
* Crokton: JUST DO IT!!!

#### **Sonny Gets Her Job**

* Sonny:... Interesting story, Zongue. But... (She noticed that water reached her feet)... That story kinda gave water time to leak in.
* ZongueBob:... Please tell me those guys are going any faster.

Meanwhile...

* Rozzken: Any luck starting up the power? We can use the Diginet for self-repair.
* Mr. Tetrus: Ugh! This is going to cost me a fortune!
* Ziden: Oh, go to your whining corner, bitch. This isn't about you. This is about ALL of us, LIVING to fight another day.
* Pronkes: Don't we have magic to breath down here?
* Ziden: Well, who says the Villain Legion will let us live?
* Pronkes:... Yeah, good point.
* Mr. Creebe: Oh, deardeardear. Doesn't anyone have ideas?
* Daj: I'm stumped.
* Thunderbolt: And odds are with how better those Villain Legioners are, they'll be waiting for us out there.
* Jeeper: And what're the odds that they can take us all o- (They saw a giant army of creatures and Heartless out there)
* Wilby:... (Evil voice) I say, BRING EM ON! MWAHAHAHA!!

Chamber

* Sonny: I just hope to hell that this leak doesn't pick up.
* ZongueBob: I wouldn't trigger karma, Sonny.
* Sonny: C'mon, what's so bad about a little hope? (Bolts popped out to show a few leaks)... Of course, hope always has room for error. I can't believe I'm gonna probably lose my pride and joy. I built this from by own sweat, elbow grease, and bare hands.
* ZongueBob: Wait, YOU built this thing? All by yourself?
* Sonny: Yeah. I never told ya that?
* ZongueBob: No... Come to think of it... I always wondered how you became a member of Oxydome.
* Sonny: Well, it's an interesting story.

Flashback

* (Sonny): See, when we met, Oxydome was a fairly new business. It used to be a realtor business for space cities. But they eventually learned to build artificial ecosystems, contained mobile environments, and yes, even their own space cities. It's founder, the great Artemisia Oxyspring, was a genetically-engineered Cuimp who managed to build the first Oxydome when her own space city crashed into a barren wasteland planet that was dying. From there Oxydome grew to become a space-age business where it's workers built mobile self-sustaining domed cities, and had a popular science division that helped grow from this after Artemisia struck a deal with the Annoms. Soon enough this became a booming business. One that I found an interest in since I saw art about Schtrom artwork. Specifically the ones with artificial planets and space environments. It was a good way to get over what happened to Zoey.
* (ZongueBob): So, how did you get hired?
* (Sonny): Well, it wasn't just a simple resume and exam. It was harder than that.

#### **How ZongueBob and Atrick Met**

* Sonny: (The water leaks pick up as Sonny's lower legs got submerged)... Wow. Amazing. This water's slower than I thought. Either that or the water-control system is still active.
* ZongueBob: Yeah. That's probably it.
* Sonny: Yep. Otherwise we'd already be underwater. Maybe we can get through this after all.

Meanwhile...

* Atrick: (With an axe) WE'LL SAVE YOU, SONNY AND ZONGUEBOB! (He smashed pipelines and Chocko began to use a chainsaw to rip and tear more)

Chamber

* Sonny: (The water leaked harder)... UGH! Does karma ever take a holiday? Doesn't it's shtick get old?
* ZongueBob: How should I know?
* Sonny:... How did you even become friends with an idiot like Atrick?
* ZongueBob: Oh, me and Atrick go WAY back.
* Sonny: Do ya now?
* ZongueBob: We do now.

(Later...)

* ZongueBob:... Fin. PHAH! Get it?
* Sonny: Wow. That was... A pretty charming story.
* ZongueBob: It was. And good that the water's being GENEROUS here. (Their legs were completely submerged)
* Sonny: Great. These were brand new clothes.
* ZongueBob: DAMN them Villain Legioners.
* Sonny: Legionnaires, but close enough.

Meanwhile...

* Ruke: (All the Villain Legion creatures were mooning them and pressing their butts on the glass)... WHAT THE F\*\*\*, DUDE, THEY'RE MOONING US!!
* Cen: "Okay they're just being immature now! YOU KNOW WHEN WE GET OUT OF THIS, THIS WILL ONLY GONNA MAKE US WANT TO TEAR UP YOUR ARSES MORE?! LITTERALLY IN FACT?!"
* Creature 1: "HAH?! WE'LL BE SURE TO SHAKE IN OUR BOOTS SHOULD YA DO?!"
* Shog: So pitiful. These creatures are made to be expendable.
* Foreseer: These abominations are made to serve only. Their dim-witted nature is matched only by their extreme loyalty. They'll jump off a cliff if they were told to.
* Creature 2: WE HEARD THAT, OLD LADY!! WE DO NOT!!
* Foreseer:...
* Felly: Seems as though they're not mindless drones anymore.
* Suga: Well, them VLs DEFINITELY ain't screwing around this time.
* Billis: Well... Do we panic?
* Fronky: I vote on that.
* Fe-Xiao: NO! They're just trying to scare us. They were clearly ordered to pretend they are not as expendable as we know they are.

Meanwhile...

* Murdock: (He was seen magically enchanting many of the creatures into being more self-aware)
* Crobra: Are you sure this is going to earn me a better victory?
* Murdock: A smarter force is a STRONGER force. You hired me to know creatures like this, AND Heartless. Your abominations, NEED to be stronger. Smarter. Faster. Strategic. Heartless may have the strength in numbers, but the right opponents can obliterate them. After all, they are mostly unsentient.... But there is such a thing as sentient Heartless. THEY were successful. So if these creatures were to be... Then we shall surely prevail.
* Crobra: But, they're not that smart for a reason. When your forces are too smart, that brings the risk of them turning against us.
* Murdock: Not when they have reason to trust who they serve. You want to be more successful and more taken seriously? You need to step up to greater heights. So, what do you have to lose now?
* Spectage:... He speaks the truth. The smarter, the better.
* Murdock: (He smiles) ("And the better for me.")

#### **Admitting Secrets**

Oxydome Chamber

* Sonny:... Well, the water's gotten to my waist.
* ZongueBob: Eh, I can survive this. But with the Holonet and Diginet down, I don't think you'll be able to summon your suit.
* Sonny: Nope... But hey... At least I can have some fun with this water. (She splashed him as they took some time splashing each other)
* ZongueBob: Wow, Sonny. You sure know how to make the best of a bad situation.
* Sonny: Ma always told me that it ain't all bad when you get stuck.
* ZongueBob:... You seem to like the water more than any other member of your species.
* Sonny: A lot do.
* ZongueBob: But you seem to like it... To a certain degree.
* Sonny:... Yeah. I mean, it was always obvious when I was lil. My time defying my parents to go swimming taught me a lot. There was always a lotta stuff that made me come off as a little... Extreme. I spent too much time underwater, I liked to swim anywhere there was water, and I even liked to gu- (She stopped herself)...
* ZongueBob:... What?
* Sonny: Um, gurdle myself. I gotta stay in shape somehow.
* ZongueBob: Sonny, talk to me. What were you going to say? I'm your husband, you don't have to keep secrets from me. My lips are sealed tight. (He literally cartoonishly zipped his mouth shut)
* Sonny:... (Deep breath)... I like to gurgle.
* ZongueBob: MMMMMMMM?!?!? MMM-MMM-MMMPHPHMMM- (He unzipped his mouth) REALLY?!? So, Crokton was right?!
* Sonny: WHEN I WAS A KID, OKAY?!?
* ZongueBob: Heh. Really? Seemed to me like you took a while to realize when I pranked you by disabling your holo-helmet. Nobody's THIS clueless.
* Sonny: Okay, yes, I still do!
* ZongueBob: See? Was that so hard?
* Sonny: I... (She blushed hard)... Look, I know it's gross, but come on, I can't be the only one who's into that. Don't we all got some kink?
* ZongueBob:... Yeah. I guess.
* Sonny: So, when I get called 'Gurgler', it's like I get kink-shamed, and because I get embarrassed to admit I like doing something so childish. I didn't want anybody to know about it. Not even Crokton.
* ZongueBob: Well, I had a feeling like that when we first had lunch at the Tetrus C&C. Remember that little trick question?
* Sonny: How could I forget? Look, you can't tell NOBODY about this.
* ZongueBob: We're alone in here. Nobody's even hearing us.... Right?
* Sonny: The cameras are down.
* ZongueBob: GOOD! Look, your secret is safe with me... Besides, we're a married couple stuck in a flooding room together... So, is there really any shame to... Embellish?
* Sonny:... No... I spose not.
* ZongueBob:...
* Sonny:... (Sighs)... Oh, this is so embarrassing. (She dunked her mouth) Bububububububububububububububububububu.
* ZongueBob: See? Let it all out. (She continued on as he started to show some arousal)

Meanwhile...

* Commander: Status?
* Cadet: It's not too good, Commander. These codes are VERY encrypted. Breaking it further won't free those two any faster.
* Commander: (Grabs him) DON'T GIMME EXCUSES! (Slaps him) **GIMME RESULTS!!!**
* Cadet: I'M TRYING HERE!!
* Chocko: KABOOOOM!!
* Commander: Chocko, let's not destroy anymore than we already have. Let me think. (The alarms kept blaring) AND SET THOSE ALARMS TO SILENT!
* Ruke: F\*\*\*\*\*G FINALLY, SOMEONE SAID IT, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING! (He set the alarm to silent)

#### **How Sonny Started To Swim**

(Later...)

* ZongueBob: Hey, uh, Sonny?
* Sonny: (She was whimsically blowing bubbles and gurgling while completely submerged)
* ZongueBob: Yikes. This is DEFINITELY something Crokton would be a jerk about. Glad he's not here seeing this... Even when he IS, here.
* Sonny: (Gurgling) Right? This is so, enjoyable. BUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBUBU!! (Larger bubbles burst from the water as ZongueBob continued to be aroused)
* ZongueBob: Um, Sonny? We, kinda need to get out of here.
* Sonny: (Gurgling) Oh, right. (She surfaced and gasped) I think I just might have something. I just forgot about this chamber's ability to be, AN ESCAPE POD! (She pressed the button, only for it to launch deep in the ground)... Oops, hehe. Forgot we were grounded.... But hey, at least the water stopped running as fast.
* Zonguebob: "Please don't challenge Karma, Sonny."
* Sonny: It's karma-proof too, AND it's got a battery inside to keep it stable. Provided those guys up there don't do anything stupid- Oh, who am I kidding? Belmen dismantled the anti-karmic shield because it used one of his relics. (Water poured in more)... AND I'm ALSO going to assume, ATRICK did something stupid.
* Zonguebob: "I told you not to challenge Karma!"
* Sonny: (Sighs)... Well... Another story?
* ZongueBob: Another story.
* Sonny: All ears. (She sank until only her nose and ears were peeked as she blew bubbles)
* ZongueBob:... When did you get so obsessed with swimming?
* Sonny: (Gurgling) Oh. Well, funny thing, I used to be afraid of it.
* ZongueBob: Eh, I can see that, the ocean can be a pretty spooky on your first time, and- (Did this)

* Sonny: (Gurgling) It's true. When your parents are this overprotective, you tend to develop... Certain fears.
* ZongueBob: Yeah, you should probably stop that. This boner is starting to irritate me.
* Sonny: (Gurgling) Ohhhhhh? Is someone in love with my bubble talk?
* ZongueBob: SERIOUSLY, PLEASE STOP! I’M ALREADY AS EMBARRASSED AS YOU’D BE DOING THIS IN PUBLIC!
* Sonny: (Gurgling) Okay. (She surfaced gasping for air in a beautiful manner)
* ZongueBob:... You gasp for air beautifully too.
* Sonny: Wow, really?
* ZongueBob: UGH, should've kept that to myself!
* Sonny: Heh, not surprised anyway.
* ZongueBob: Ahem. Uh, you were saying?

Flashback

* (Sonny): Well, I guess it started when I was a very hyperactive kid.
* A beach was seen.....
* (Sonny): Me and my sibbies were at the beach one day… But me?… (She, as a child, was about to go into the water, running on all fours excited until she saw some pieces of seaweed)…
* Seaweed:… EHUAAAAAAHHHGH! NEEED, WATEEEER!!
* Sonny: GEEEEHH!! Ain’t touching YOU! Who knows WHERE you’ve been? (Giggles)
* Sosha: Now, Sonny, don’t go too far. Ya never know what’s in there, so you ain’t ready to swim that far. Trust me. Our UUniverses, ARE NUTS! The sea is like a hive of Fondsmithian horrors.
* Sonny:… (She looked at the ocean and the seaweed and began imaging seaweed monsters and a plethora of sea monsters)
* (Sonny): I was the most imaginative of my siblings at the time. Especially Cynthiana. And she HAD a wild imagination. So… That crazy thought, got me WILD with more thoughts.
* Sonny:… A-A… Aaaa…. AAAAAAHHHHHGH!!! (She cartoonishly zipped to her parents hugging them) THE OCEAN’S GONNA EAT MEEEEEEE!!!! IT’S GONNA HAVE ITS CREATURES TEAR ME UP, AND THEN IT’S GONNA EAT ME!!!
* Homer:… I TOLD you not to say the wrong words to our most imaginative baby!
* Cynthiana: I thought I was the most imaginative baby!
* Homer: WERE! This kid is almost as good as you.
* Sosha: HOMER! We’re sea rodents. I’m sure she’ll get over it. Kids ain’t THAT impressionable.

Later…

* (Sonny): I never got over it all day. (That night she dreamed she was trapped in a nightmarish ocean as she was drowning)
* Sonny: MMMMMMMMM!!! (She was ambushed by random sea monsters and eaten when she finally drowned, waking up abruptly) AAAHHGH!!!…
* (Sonny): And things were hardly good for the cruel irony I was in.

(Later…)

* Sonny: (She was near an ocean and backed her feet away from the waves when they approached) NO! Sick, don’t eat THEM! You don’t know where they’ve been!… (She shivered) So gruesome! Eating your feet the moment ya step in! This salty slime makes me sick!… SYICK!!!!!
* ???: Uhhhh, what are ya doing? (A Nibbler fish was seen nearby)
* Nibbler:… Ain’t you a Hydrocab? I see critters like you swimming around here all the time. Usually the KIDS are the first ones to get in. See? (They saw unsentient Hydrocabs diving into the water, one of them staring awkwardly at Sonny before diving)… See, even HE gets it!
* Sonny:… Mmmmh!
* Nibbler:…… Are… Are you… Afraid of the water?!
* Sonny: NO! GET OUTTA THE WATER!! I’M SONNY BUBBLES! I AIN’T AFRAID A NOTHING!! I dip my feet in the waters of my kelp farm all the time. I even gotta drink the stuff on a regular basis.
* Nibbler: Probably cuz you gotten used to THAT! But this?
* Sonny; I AIN’T AFRAID OF THE OCEAN, DARN IT!!!
* Nibbler:… (He splashed at her with his tail fin as she jumped away in horror)
* Sonny: AHHH!!!
* Nibbler:… Ohho, my, Sea Gods!… (He laughed) CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?! A SEA CREATURE AFRAID OF THE SEA?! HAHAAAAHAHAHAHA- (He stopped seeing Sonny shedding a few tears)… Ehehe… Ehhhhh…… Sorry. It’s just, the irony cannot be resisted! Why in HECK would you be afraid of the ocean?!
* Sonny: WHY WOULDN’T I?! I’m sure you’d know MORE than one answer! The deeper you go, the more nightmares there can be! THERE’S ALWAYS A BIGGER FISH!! (They saw a giant fish breaching)… SEE?!?
* Nibbler:… Touché. But still, seems a little odd for YOU, even if you’re just a kid.
* Sonny: Why do you even care, ya stalker?!
* Nibbler: Hey, not saying it’s any of my biz. I’m just… A little lonely at times and just like to do some cool stuff. While my cousins and nephews are all in spas nibbling on toes, I’m out here doing better things than just doing something gross.
* Sonny: Ain’t swimming in the filth of other sea critters gross too? You sea critters poop in the sea all the time.
* Nibbler:…… Again, touché. You are an unusually smart child. Sonny Bubbles, was it? Hahahaha. Adorable last name. Ahem. I’m Pepto Tides.
* Sonny:… Dang, wish I had a kickbutt name like that. Could never have been bullied in my life with it.
* Pepto: Trust me, bullies find ways. Look, Sonny, just because the ocean may have some… Things to fear… Doesn’t mean it’s a lawless submarine of DEATH! It’s actually beautiful down here.
* Sonny: Again, why do you care?
* Pepto:… Because I know how you feel.
* Sonny:… You? YOU were afraid of the ocean?
* Pepto: TRENCH no! That would be RIDICULOUS! The opposite. I was afraid of LAND! My family liked to take advantage of the cartoony nature and walk among the people above. To DEATH! And NOW look at me.
* Sonny: Your family walks up on the surface?
* Pepto: Well just on the beach. The sun is burning hot year-round. Wouldn’t last long out here without water if you were a fish.
* Sonny:… You really DON’T know what’s in the water, even IF you are a fish!
* Pepto: Kiddo, look at me. Just as I conquered my fear, so will you. And trust me, I’m doing you a favor telling you this. Can you imagine how embarrassing it will be if people learned you, a sea rodent, was afraid of the water? They’ll NEVER let you live it down.
* Sonny: C’mon, they ain’t THAT judgmental. Even the bullies.
* ???: HEY, AIN’T THAT THE SEA CRITTER WHO’S AFRAID OF THE SEA?! (Nearby beachers were laughing hysterically at her)
* Marine Lizard: Hahahaha! Oh look at me, I’ve got giant feet and a flat tail, yet I’m TOO AFRAID TO USE EM!!!
* Spider-Crab-Like Creature: HOW PATHETIC! I bet SHE’S gonna be a LOSER in the future! (They laughed as Sonny blushed in embarrassment)
* Pepto: Yeah?! Well, I BET YOU GUYS AS CREATURES OF THE SEA WOULD BE HAPPY TO MOCK HER!! YOU GUYS MUST HAVE A LOTTA INSECURITIES!!
* Marrit: YOU stay out of this!
* Pepto: Or WHAT?! YOU GONNA EAT ME?! You think you’re so tough to pick on a child who’s just going through a phase? I think you pieces of whule poop do that just so you guys can avoid YOUR own insecurities. And I sense a LOTTA it. You wanna admit something?
* Spider-Crab-Like Creature:… We’re outta here! (They left)
* Pepto:… YEAH, YOU BETTER KEEP WALKING!
* Amphibian: SAY WHAT?! (They went towards him)
* Pepto: AW CRAAP!!! (They plowed him and beat him up)
* Sonny: NOOOOO!! LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BULLIES!!! (She jumped on them as they punched her off and head-first into the water)
* Sea Mammal: YOU THINK WE’RE COMPLETELY COWARDS?!? Next time we won’t go so EASY on you! (They left)
* Pepto:… Ouch!
* Sonny: Uggh! (Gasps seeing she was in the water and got out scared)…
* Pepto:… Okay, that does it! You, little lady, need HELP! Ya really can't let those assholes get away with that!
* Sonny: Eh, it ain’t that important. Those guys are just jerks to everyone. They’re DEFINITELY hiding something. My Pa always told me "ya don’t take s\*\*\* from bullies!".
* Pepto:… He swore to his own kid?
* Sonny: It’s Thexus.
* Pepto:… Touché times three.

(Later…)

* (Sonny): His first attempt was… Rougher than a surface-bound tankfish’s skin in a hot summer beach day.
* Pepto: Alright. You ready?
* Sonny:… I guess. You said this old lifeguard station was the good place to start? Look at it! It’s filthy!
* Pepto: Yeah, and that’s admittedly the point.
* Sonny: The point for what?
* Pepto: FOR THIS! (He tore down the station with just one removal of a piece of wood to show it was in the middle of the ocean)
* Sonny:… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHGH!!!!! HOW DID YOU… HOW?!?
* Pepto: It was abandoned because it was built in a very tidal area. Took this piece of junk until last night to finally get rusted out. Heh. Amateurs.
* Sonny: T-T-T-T-THIS IS NOT FUNNY, PEP!!
* Pepto: Easy, kiddo, easy, you don’t hear me laughing, do ya? I KNOW you can get the hang of it. You’re a sea critter. These cuties have to be flat for a reason. (He played with her toes as she laughed a bit)
* Sonny: AHH!!! (She kicked him into the water)
* Pepto: OW!!
* Sonny: Sorry. Fish touching my feet are a close second for them getting touched by the water.
* Pepto: I’M A NIBBLER!!! That’s what we’re used for in spas!
* Sonny: THIS AIN’T NO SPA!!!!
* Pepto:… Okay, fine, staying away from them! They really pack a KICK! (He swam around and stuck to Sonny from the other side)
* Sonny: Peppy, please, this is already crazy!! Even for me!!
* Pepto: Crazy enough to work, you mean.
* Sonny: I MEAN CRAZY!!!
* Pepto: Ugh! You ain’t making this easy. It’s like you ain’t even TRYING!
* Sonny: I AM TRYING!!!
* Pepto: Then start with the basics. Put your feet in the water.
* Sonny: NO WAY! THEY’LL PROBABLY GET EATEN!!
* Pepto: It’s just WATER! You drink it. It rains from the sky. It makes up much of your body for Gods’ sakes. YOU’RE S’POSED TO BE BUILT FOR SWIMMING!!
* Sonny: NOT ALL OF US SHOULD SWIM!!
* Pepto:… You call THIS trying? You are so pathetic. You ain’t even a Hydrocab. You’re a… LANDROCAB!
* Sonny: Is that even supposed to help me?!
* Pepto: You gotta get over yourself! You’re acting like the water is some kinda predator. But look at me! I gotta LIFE in it!
* Sonny: Easy for YOU to say- (Pepto just got rid of the floating wood platform as Sonny panicked more while floating) AAAAAAAAAAAHGH!!!
* Pepto: Will you stop screaming?! You sound like a dying ingull!!
* Ingull #1: RUDE!
* Pepto: OH SHUT UP, IT’S NOTHING YOU HAVEN’T HEARD BEFORE!!
* Sonny: NEED LAND!!! LAAAAAAAAAAND!!! BIRDY, FLY ME THERE, NAAAOOOW!!!
* Ingull: Aw cluster no! (Flew off)
* Sonny: NOOOOO!!!
* Pepto: JUST STAY CALM! You’re floating! Keep calm and you’ll KEEP floating. Surprised you still are right now!
* Sonny: What happened to starting with the basics?!
* Pepto: Clearly you’re too scared for even THAT! You have got to be, bar none, the most cowardly anti-sea sea critter I have EVER seen!
* Sonny: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!
* Pepto: (He swam far away from her) Why don’tcha get over here and make me?
* Sonny:……
* Pepto: My point PRECISELY! You gotta get over this fear or you might be an outcast, starting with ACTUALLY trying.
* Sonny: I’m trying my very best! Besides, those guys just MADE it sound like that’s how life works.
* Pepto: See, with maturity like that, it’s a mystery you’re afraid of the water.
* Sonny: SOME ADULTS ARE AFRAID OF IT!!!
* Pepto: Yeah, but usually for reasons. Yet you seem smart. Ugh. Okay, clearly it’s time to step things up. Or rather, KICK things up.
* Sonny: Whaddiya me- (He dove)… What is he- (He pulled onto Sonny’s tail and dragged her underwater and into the elaborate colorful reefs of the sea bottom)… ABABABABABABABABABABAHBGH!!!
* Pepto: PFFT! NOW you sound like a DROWNING ingull. Quit screaming and wasting your breath. You still can’t breath underwater, you can just hold your breath for a very long time- (Sonny continued gurgle-screaming) Oh suck it up- NO, I MEANT, KEEP IT IN!!! I, uh, you, ugh, just figure it out! (Sonny continued gurgling in distress as she couldn’t swim properly. She could only move around hitting objects like a blind flier)… This is almost funny. COME ON, IT AIN’T THAT HARD!!! (Sonny began slowing and had a tired expression with her cheeks puffed massively) If you’re trying to fake drowning just to get out of this, don’t bother. It’s still going down- (Sonny stopped moving)… Oh Gods, you aren’t faking! (Sonny drowned as bubbles leaked massively from her nose and mouth)… AWWW SNAP!!! YOU IDIOT, I TOLD YOU TO STOP PANICKING!!! GRRRHH!!!

Later…

* Sonny: (She awoke as she coughed water from her mouth) WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
* Pepto: You know what?! F\*\*\* it! You’re HOPELESS! You wanna be afraid of the water? NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE!! You wanna be a weak excuse for a sea critter forever? Who am I to stop you? Go ahead! Sonny Bubbles, afraid of nothing, EXCEPT THE WATER! IRONY OVER HERE, EVERYONE!! I am out of here! You’re on your own!! (He waddled his way to the water)
* Sonny:… (Sighs)…
* (Sonny): So… I decided to ACTUALLY try. Felt really bad for Pepto.
* (ZongueBob): And did it go well?
* (Sonny): A lil bitta Column A and B. (Sonny was standing near the shores, in a one-piece blue swimsuit)…
* Sonny:… (Deep breath)… Suck it up, Sonny! You ain’t afraid of nothin!… Now get in there, and PROVE IT!… (She stuck her big toe out)… C’mooooon… C’MOOOOON…. (She dipped it) AAAHHHHH, IT’S EATING MY TOE, IT’S… It’s… It actually feels nice. (She put her feet into the water)… Hoo! That’s… VERY nice…. Wohow! Was I actually convinced this stuff was gonna eat me?! Hahaha! Me and my child brain! (Giggles as she walked waist-deep in, as she heard her own heartbeat)…… EEEP!!! (She got out)… URRGH! STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!! (She beat herself up comically) Alright, Sonny. Next level it is. (She was later seen above a ravine overlooking a deep shallow reef)…… C’mon, Sonny! Do it! It’s just water!… (She chugged up a bottle) AHHH! See?! Water! Yeah, it’s salty, but so what? If anything that makes it… I dunno WHAT that makes it, but you get the idea, so stop talking to yourself!… (She looked down and saw the water)… Maybe this is a little TOO high?… Yeah, I should probably- (A large bird scared her off the ledge) GAAAHUHUHUAAAH!!! (She fell comically with a splash, sinking dazed into the coral reefs scaring off fish and landing on a large zongue bed)… (She opened her eyes, and blasted bubbles in surprise, paddling poorly across the place in a slight panic)
* (Sonny): It took some getting used to, but, that’s what comes from yer first time.
* Sonny: Mmmh! MMMHH!! (She saw some unsentient Hydrocabs swimming nearby, and the one from before stared awkwardly at her)… Mmmmh? (It swam off)… (Sonny noted how they swam and, remembering she was the sentient variant, realized) Obhbhbhbhbhbhbh! (She began swimming the same way and it worked)
* (Sonny): It was no nightmare. It was a paradise, of life going bonkers. Ma was right about one thing. You never know what you can find… And that became the fun. I was a tough child.
* Sonny: (She swam across kelp forests, but then stopped at a deeper depth) MMM?!
* (Sonny): Buuuuuut, there was a line I couldn’t break through.
* Sonny:… Mmmbmbmbmbmbm! (She quickly retreated to the surface, gasping) WHOA, WAS IT ALWAYS THAT DEEP?!
* ???: Well would you look at that? (Pepto arrived)
* Pepto: The seaophobe out and about in the sea. About time. And they said my plans were crazy!
* Sonny: Eh?
* Pepto: The guilt bomb. Works wonders on helping people learn and take the first step themselves. Or in this case, the first paddle. Look at you! You’re a natural!
* Sonny: Yeah, but… Why didn’t you say it was THAT DEEP?!
* Pepto: Uhhh, duh, because you would know that.
* Sonny: DUUUUUH, but c’mon, you don’t ACTUALLY know deep until you have seen it. And THAT?! It ain’t your average everyday deep. That right there is… ADVANCED deep!
* Pepto: Ohho, to a tee! Even my folks are afraid of what’s down there.
* ???: Pa-THETIC! (The bullies from before appeared)
* Pepto: Oh I thought I smelled ass around here!
* Sonny: (Scoffed out of control) What you losers doing? I ain’t afraid of the water no more.
* Marrit: Hoho, we saw you panicking in those depths. We’ve been down there, cuz we’re TOUGH!
* Sonny: It’s called baby steps. Or in this case-
* Spider-Crab-Like Creature: Baby paddles, yeah, we get it. Do we look completely literal to you? PHAH! So stupid!
* Sonny:… You really ARE finding excuses to mock me, aren’t ya?
* Marine Lizard: So what if we are, huh? We won’t be the only asses that’ll never let you live this down. You’ll NEVER prove anything today. Thexans like us are s’posed to be fearless. And you?
* Sonny: Maybe you three should mind your own business and bully someone else, like THAT guy! (They saw a thug pottahog)
* Marrit: Oh you think you’re FUNNY?! You know who we even are?! We are the SHIPYARD SOCIETY!
* Pepto: Laaaame!
* Marrit: "Lame? LAME?! How DARE you diss the Shipyard Society?!"
* Pepto: "Ain't much of a society if it's just a collection of assholes, now is it?"
* Marrit: Hmm. Well, looks like you need a PROPER introduction. I'm Muddy!
* Sonny: Could've fooled US! PHAH!!!
* Muddy: NO! That's my name.
* Sonny: PFFFT! Even BETTER!
* Muddy: ANYWAY, the lizard's Leather.
* Pepto: He will be someday.
* Leather the Marine Lizard: SHUT UP!!!
* Muddy: Aaaand the crustacean is Dingy.
* Sonny: I doubt THAT! (The Spider-Crab-Like Creature called Dingy grabbed her by the heck)
* Dingy: YOU BETTER CUT THAT S\*\*\* OUT, KID!
* Muddy: Dingy! Go easy on her, she's just a kid.
* Dingy:... Fine. But gimme ONE good excuse to cut off ONE of her body parts! JUST ONE!!!
* Muddy: But in all seriousness, we ain't ones to take s\*\*\* from folks like you. Lemme tell ya how things work for us. (They sung this)

* Sonny: Still lame!
* Dingy: OH YOU LITTLE-
* Leather: Dingy! Put, the claws, down!
* Muddy: AHEM! Kid, the point that song was S'POSED to clarify, is that we ain't the likes of which you should mess with.
* Sonny: I could say the same thing about me.
* Muddy: Prove it, then.
* Sonny: You REALLY don't wanna say that on this planet.
* Muddy: Heh. I like your guts, kid. But just swimming around on your first time ain't enough. Tell em, boys.
* Leather: He's right. Every day in the ocean is like a test for survival. And more so than unflooded Thexan soil can offer.
* Dingy: And take it from a crustacean who walks around the sea floor. It's NASTY down there. The environment that birthed ALL life, is going to be full of surprises, and random dangers.
* Sonny: I'm THEXAN! Like YOU guys. You wanna bully me? Go ahead. But I got my dignity now.
* Muddy: Mmmmm, doubt it. You got no guts to go THAT deep like we have. But, if you wanna prove it, then let's try a little test of courage... IN ABBY'S GROTTO!
* Dingy: (GAAAASP) NOT ABBY'S GROTTO!
* Muddy: YES ABBY'S GROTTO!
* Sonny: And who's Abby? Some scarred Junja or something?
* Muddy: PFFFFT! After meeting her, you'll WISH it was an average Junja.
* Sonny: She scary?
* Muddy: So scary that she makes SHARKS cry!
* Leather: Yeah, and I thought they were too ROBUST to cry.
* Sonny: Hmmph. Why should I even have to prove anything to you? I'm already proud of myself. This ain't worth jack to me. You just wanna see me crying back to the surface and never go back to the water again, so you can still have something to mock and never have to think of your OWN shortcomings. So go ahead and mock me. What will it matter? My dignity is worth WAY more than you will EVER be!

#### **Sonny and ZongueBob's Final Act**

Water Control Room

* Sonny: (As the two finished their last memory with each other and the water was up to their heads)...... Well... Guess this was a good time.
* ZongueBob: Yeah, to be honest, even with these moments together, I'm having a hard time putting a positive spin on this.
* Sonny: Hard to believe how far we've come since we first met the Lodgers. We're married, we're fighting baddies, we share great non-villain moments, and here we are in a flooding water control room that'll only give me a short time to find a way out.
* ZongueBob:.... Well it's not all bad. We have each other to do it. You're the greatest girl I could ever hope for.
* Sonny:...... Thanks, Zongue. (The two accidentally touched bodies and blushed hardly)......
* ZongueBob:...... You're taking this pretty well. No doubt thanks to me.
* Sonny: (Giggles) Well you're the best one to spend time with.... I think...... I think it's time I- (The two were finally submerged as bubbles escaped her mouth)....
* ZongueBob:...... You have something to tell me, Sonny?
* Sonny:...... Mmm-hmm. (She slowly starts to remove her clothes)
* ZongueBob:...... Uh, Sonny, what're you doooooooooo... (She changed into her swimsuit)... (Shivers)... Okay, what is this you're doing? I think I missed a step. Are we getting out or what?
* Sonny: (Muffles teasingly as she did something obscene off-screen)
* ZongueBob: WHAAAAOOO, UHHHH... Okay, uh, I, uh, don't know where this is coming from, but... Clearly I can tell there's a lot of repressed stuff you've been- \*Pop\*... (He blushed madly and his eyes glittered).. OH, MY, NEPITON, YOU’RE HOT!!! Sonny, I, th-th-th, I didn’t need to- ehe, a, I, ah- Ehehe, OMG, YOU’RE NAKED!!! (He screamed covering his face)
* Sonny: (She muffle-giggled off-screen as her swimsuit drifted towards him)...
* ZongueBob: S-s-seriously, Sonny, is this really necessary? Shouldn’t we work on getting you out before you drown-
* Sonny: (Gurgling, off-screen) JUST COME OVER HERE!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME, and given your face, so have you!!
* ZongueBob:... You're serious? (She brushed him with her tail as he slowly fell for her) Ohohoho.
* Sonny: (Off-camera and gurgling) We both had to do this sooner or later, Zongue. I have been wanting this as much as you. Come on. No one's looking.
* ZongueBob:...... OKAY! (He took off his pants as he went in, with them both making out with bubbles gushing from off-camera)
* (Squidward): Okay, do we REALLY have to see this part?
* (Jokey): No, and thank Gods. Besides, we weren't exactly in that kinda joy ourselves trying to get them out while dealing with the flood and the Villain Legion.
* Lost Strain: What... Are they doing? (Villain Legion creatures were seen vandalizing the Oxydome's glass dome and writing 'I Eat My Own Fart Bubbles')
* Atrick: HAH! They're admitting their own fetish. WE KNOW YOU EAT YOUR OWN FART BUBBLES! But hey, admission is the first step in recovery. They must wanna turn in a new leaf, and want therapy.
* Winget: Um, Atrick, I don't know how to say this, but... They're making it look like, you know, like, Sonny likes to do that.
* Atrick: She wha- NOOOOOO!! SONNY DOES NOT EAT HER OWN FART BUBBLES!!
* Creature: Well then why did she paint that on the side of her Oxy? Unless she longs to consume her own fart bubbles, it's so pathetic.
* Creature #2: Yeah, it's f\*Bubbles\*g gross!
* Creature: What kind of creature gets nutrition from her own anal bubbles, man?
* Creature #2: She does, man!
* Creature: That's absolutely correct!
* Creature #2:... F-A-R-T-B-U-B-B-
* Atrick: SHUT UP! (He punched the glass and caused water to leak even further)... Oops.
* Murdock: (As the two returned to him as he was hiding)... Excellent work.
* Creature #2: Ohho, you don't BELIEVE how long we've wanted to do that!

(Later...)

* Sonny/ZongueBob: ABHBHBHbhbhbhbh/Ahhhhhhhhh!! (The camera panned on them as they got dressed again as they were in a blissful love daze)
* ZongueBob: WOW!! That was... WEIRD! What did we just- (Sonny grew red from suffocation) OH CRAP, YOU GOT SO RELAXED YOU WASTED YOUR AIR!!! Uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uhhh... Okay, I’ve been meaning to try this trick, but I don’t think it’ll work. (He absorbed much of the water and inflated like a balloon, and then kissed a drowning Sonny as it replenished her breath)... HOLY S\*\*\* OF NEPITON, IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU, CARTOON LOGIC!!! Are you okay, Sonny?
* Sonny: Mmm-hmm. (She re-swallowed her bubbles)
* ZongueBob: YES! Glad you have me as a backup air tank and kiss breather. Now we got 25 minutes to get you some fresh air.... And let’s, uh, discuss what we just did later, kay? And uh, no more gurgling.
* Sonny: Mmm-hmm.
* (Squidward): Wait, you mean it took you THAT long doing it?! Wow! That kinda thing usually takes less time.
* (Sonny): That's cuz we weren't just doing it. Just a little... Body play.
* (Squidward): Gross.
* (ZongueBob): It'd be fun if you tried it!!!

(Later...)

* Sonny: (The two came out of the water as Sonny gave a cartoonishly heavy gasp for air and vomited water and coughed comically)
* ZongueBob: Yikes, Sonny, when did you inhale that stuff-
* Sonny: (Gurgling) HOLD ON! (She continued for a while)
* ZongueBob:... Okay, I don’t know what we did down there, but I don’t think it was healthy for you. Was it the kiss breathing?
* Sonny: (She was finished) Hah! You kidding? I take whiffs of steam all the time. (She steamed up some water and sniffed and then coughed again comically)... But uh... Yeah. I... I can't explain what just happened.
* ZongueBob: Me neither, but... That was quite enjoyable.
* Sonny: Yeah!... But, let's keep what happens next a surprise.
* ZongueBob: What?
* Sonny: (Whispers in his earhole)...
* ZongueBob: Wait, THAT was sex?
* Sonny: I thought you knew what sex was.
* ZongueBob: I just thought it was a kinda hug. Damn. I never knew it felt SO good. But... I guess that means...
* Jokey: Guys! You're okay!
* Atrick:... Why do you guys look like you had the best and worse day of your lives?
* Sonny: Well, because we did. A married couple stuck in a flooded room trying to escape? Couldn't be better.
* Bongki: You had sex, didn't you?
* Sau: I suppose so. Increased heart rate, twitching bodies, dehydration, heavy breathing, and not just for air, by the way, the erection on ZongueBob, and the clear fertilization within Sonny...... You definitely did.
* Juck: Well blow me like a prostitute, you two're gonna be parents! Congrats!
* Sonny: (Sighs) So much for keeping it a surprise.
* Scoro: Sonny, we can barely keep surprises. But we're happy for you. Right now, though, I need to remind you that the place is being flooded by those villains and we need to stop them.
* Sonny: Sure thing! Just... Just get us some freshwater. We're parched!

(Later)

* The Creatures and Villains were laughing like utter jackasses in assuming they had won, as suddenly, the Oxydome opened and the still alive heroes came forth.....
* Cen: "..... (Menacing) Would you care to show your arses at us again? I WANT TO MAKE GOOD MY THREAT?!"
* Creature 1: ".... Uhhhhhhh...... No hard feelings?"
* Silence.....
* The Heroes charged and started to kill the screaming creatures effortlessly!
* Creature 4: "PLENTLY OF HARD FEELINGS?! PLENTY OF HARD- (Sliced in half by Cen) BLAH?!"
* The Legion began to make a run for it!
* Crobra: "NO?! NO?! DON'T RETREAT YOU IDIOTS?!"
* Spectage: "CROBRA, THE "DROWNING THEM" PLAN DIDN'T WORK AND SOMEHOW THEY'RE STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO BE A THREAT TO US?! SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND KNOW WHEN TO RETREAT?! (Runs off)...."
* Crobra: "(Gets extra angry and retreats as well)"
* Murdock didn't gave any reaction outside of smiling, and simply left quietly....
* Cen was using his blade to destroy a creature's ass in painful ways!
* Creature 2: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH?! MY ASS?! MY BEAUTIFUL ABOMINABLE ASS?! I- (Gets fatally impaled and dies)....."
* The Legion retreated on their ship and fleed!
* Jokey: "AND GOOD RIDDANCE, YA SCUMBAGS?!"
* Sonny: YEAH!... Alright. Now to fix this baby up.
* ZongueBob: Well, glad you told me how you made this thing. This'll take us some time to repair.
* Sonny: By a few months.
* Loungers: MONTHS?!?
* Sonny: Well yeah, I didn't build this thing in one day.
* ZongueBob: Nope. She told me how she did it.
* Sonny: Besides... I ain't gonna be in fightin shape for a few months.
* Sau: I'm so happy for you, Sonny.... Grossed out, but happy. But... You MAY be in a bit of a surprise. Hybrid pregnancy between a sea and land creature is a little... Painful.
* Sonny: How painful?
* Sau: As painful as the worst pregnancies out there. Granted, not to the same level as magical pregnancies, but, it's not all that fun neither. So, we'll have to just keep you here until it's over.
* Maxy: That's alright. 9 months isn't that long.
* Sau: Hydrocabiais give birth in a few months shorter than that.
* Maxy: WHAT?!?
* Samphry:... Well, fair's fair, she IS a rodent.
* Mr. Fursies:... Just one thing. I don't, do, diapers... Or childbirth.
* Sonny:... Well... S\*\*\*.
* Jokey: "But hey, at least we have something to make us unique from the Lougers: You two actually FUCKED and are getting a kid! That's something I don't think Spongebob and Sandy had ever done!"
* Sau: "Albeit likely due to either incompatible genetics, cause hybrids are not always an exact science, or those two practiced safe sex."
* Jokey: "But still, something that makes us abit more unique! I mean, I know we gave up caring about people thinking we're rip-offs, but, it's something at least!"

#### **Murdock Takes Over The Villain Legion**

Villain Legion Castle

* Crobra: OKAY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?!? CAN'T YOU DO **ANYTHING** RIGHT?! WE HAD THEM IN OUR GRASP, AND YOU BOTCH IT UP LIKE A BUNCH OF RETARDS?!
* Creature 1: Well you didn't exactly make it easy!
* Crobra: DON'T PIN THIS ON ME!!! I EXPECT COMPETENCE OUT OF MY VILLAIN LEGION, AND SO DO THE DARK RADICALS!!! NOT ONCE DURING OUR ENTIRE FIGHT AGAINST THE LOUNGERS DID YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!! I THOUGHT FOR ONCE I COULD TRUST YOU, BUT ALL YOU DO IS MAKE THE VILLAIN LEGION LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE JOKE!!!! UNTIL YOU LEARN TO USE YOUR BRAINS, I AM PLACING SERIOUS AND CRUEL PUNISHMENTS ON ANY RETARDS WHO DON'T WISE UP!!! STARTING WITH THE ONE WHO BLEW IT ALL!! (He uses his medallion to torture the incompetent individual gruesomely as everyone looked in horror as he was lobotomized)... Whoever screws up is getting worse if THAT didn't get to your thick skulls! That should give you enough time to THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!! (Everyone looked horrified at him)
* Murdock: Or maybe they should take that time to think about what YOU'VE done.
* Crobra: EXACT- Wait, what?
* Murdock: Everyone, ask yourselves this: What kind of leader throws you into deadly waters, makes you do all the work, threatens you mercilessly every passing moment, treats his forces like disposables, and shows you no appreciation for your sacrifices, all just because you were a quote-on-quote 'idiot', 'retard', or 'liability' that the Villain Legion was better off without? What kind of leader is too cruel and too sacrificial in his methods of punishing those that anger him or he just doesn't like? And what kind of leader comes off as too vindictive by killing and resurrecting his own forces on purpose just to teach them a lesson?
* Crobra:... You do realize we're all villains, right?! This isn't exactly a charity force? WE'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE NICE GUYS!!
* Murdock: True, but there's rules that have to be followed. And that includes loyalty. And there's no loyalty if you're not being very courteous or fair to your own forces, even for villain standards. Even the most merciless must have just as much loyalty to his forces as they do. It's clear that you treat them as recyclable slaves, and if they make even the tiniest mistake, you give them a long whipping and/or quick death, and therefore jeopardize their loyalty. Your forces deserve better.
* Crobra: OH, LIKE YOU WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT FROM ME, YOU QPINQUIN IMITATION!! HECK, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOUR JUST SAYING THAT AS A MEANS TO HAVE A FREE SHOT AT POWER!!
* Murdock: Really? Then let's put it to your forces. (To them) Who's the better leader? Crobra... Or me?
* Crobra:...... I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT YOU!!! YOU'RE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE VILLAIN LEGION!!!!
* Murdock: Anyone concur with your abuser? (They disagree) I treat you better than him. If you ever make a mistake, no matter how costly, I only let you off temporarily for another. I made this mistake long ago, and paid the same price. I won't let it happen to you either. Why should you continue to take orders from someone who is intolerant to a simple mortal error? Why should you believe what he says anymore?
* Crobra: MURDOCK, THAT IS ENOUGH!!!! I HAVEN'T EXACTLY HEARD YOU BEING ANY NICER TO THEM EARLIER BEFORE!! IF ANYTHING, YOUR JUST A BUG VERSION OF ME!!
* Murdock: Maybe you were too busy to notice.
* Crobra: IRRELEVANT!!
* Murdock: I respectfully disagree.
* Crobra: EVERYONE, HE'S USING YOU!!!! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!!!!
* Malefion: (Everyone looked at each other)... Why not?
* Crobra: WHY NOT?! YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO ASK THAT?! THINK ABOUT IT!!!! HE COMES BY AS THE LITERAL FIRST CANDIDATE WHEN A JOB TO DEAL WITH THE ASTRAL PRINCESS AND THE ASTRAL BLADE COMES ALONG, AND SUDDENLY HE CALLS FOR A CHANGE IN OFFICE AND GOT YOU ALL RILED UP ABOUT MY TREATMENT TOWARDS YOU PEOPLE, FORGETTING THAT VILLAINS AREN'T EXACTLY KNOWN TO BE HARMONIOUS?! HEROES WANT US LOCKED UP OR GONE FOREVER FOR A REASON!! HE'S CLEARLY UP TO SOMETHING!!!!
* Spectage: And how do we know you're not trying to convince us to go back to being abused and killed over and over? They never learned from such punishments before, what makes you think they'll learn by getting worse in your discipline?
* Crobra: YOU PEOPLE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT MY METHODS UNTIL MURDOCK SHOWED UP!!
* Familiar: Did you really expect them to let you know about it while being afraid that you'd be violently angry? Rumors have indeed spread around that you haven't been a very easy leader to deal with. Anything they do wrong could result in your wrath.
* Crokton: I can see why Tex was insistent with his regulations regarding loyalty. Who wants to follow someone who is uncourteous? Everyone clearly had a hard time back there. And what were YOU doing? (Karrer showed a holographic screen of him being too rough on them while Murdock was being courteous for them)
* Murdock: I rest, my case.
* Crobra:... ARE, ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION?! WHY WAS I OMMITTED OF THIS?! WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL NOW?! YOU HAVE MAGIC, YOU IDIOTS!!!!
* Murdock: Good idea. Let's use magic to show the other moments besides the last mission, shall we? (He gets out the Crystal Ball and shows that Crobra has put up with constant incompetence comically and shows all the times he sacrificed and abused his forces)... Seems that you've done this 1,231,856 times, even behind others' backs. They never said anything because you're their scary boss.
* Crobra: ARE WE ALL SERIOUSLY FORGETTING THAT VILLAINS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE CRUEL AND ABUSIVE HERE?! EVIL IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE NICE, YOU INGRATES?!
* Murdock: Be that as it may, Tex's regulations exist for a reason. Villains still must keep the respect of each other in order to stay alive. Loyalty is the most important factor of a villain's forces, and the way your forces are set up is undeserving of your loyalty. Soul slaves killed and resurrected painfully for even a drop of a hat.
* Crobra: SILENCE!!
* Murdock: These actions are nothing more than a seed that will cause them to not only attempt to quit, but turn to the hero's side. Whether they lose their souls or not, they would not care. Negligence and lack of courtesy is one of the worst costly things a villain can do and it has caused the downfall of many villains in the Villains Act. Like I said, I made the same mistake, and I will never do so again. Villains like that should carry themselves with honor and compromise for their forces and themselves, yet I have seen none from you.
* Crobra: I SAID SILENCE!!
* Spectage: No, he is correct. This is not what the Villains Act stands for. Good villains do what they must to stay strong and that's what they did. You have displayed none.
* Crobra: ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELVES?! DON'T YOU ALL REALIZE THAT MURDOCK'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR LACK OF MORALE FOR HIS BENEFIT?!
* Murdock: To be fair, have I ever lied since I joined you when it was necessary?
* Crobra:... No.
* Spectage: Then why should we believe you? Even the Villain League refuses extremism like this.
* Crobra: BECAUSE-
* Spevtage: SILENCE!! WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH!!
* Crobra: YOU HAVEN'T HEARD S\*\*\*!!!! EVERYONE, I HELPED BRING THE VILLAIN LEGION TO SUCCESS!!! I GAVE YOU ALL GREAT PURPOSE!!!!!! AND YOU'RE DEGRADING THIS BECAUSE ALL I ASK IN RETURN WAS A LITTLE PERFECTION AND COMPETENCE?! I HAVE BEEN AROUND YOU PEOPLE LONGER THAN BEFORE ANYONE EVEN REALIZED MURDOCK EXISTED!! **ARE YOU BRAINLESS DROPPED RETARDS REALLY GOING TO LISTEN TO HIM?!?**...... (He was kicked out of the castle) WAAAAAAAA- POOMPH!!! (He got his head out of the ground) NO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! THIS IS MY HOME!!! THOSE ARE MY FORCES!!!!
* Murdock: Not anymore.
* Crobra: EVERYONE, PLEASE DON'T- (The door was shut on him).......... (Screams in aggrovation)....... (Brings up a communicator and uses it). Hello, Nuke? It's Crobra. The Villains of the Legion have revolted against me in favor of someone who was suppose to help us deal with the Astral Princess!! THEY'VE GONE ROGUE?!
* (Nuke): "ROGUE?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!"
* Crobra: "I didn't! Murdock took advantaged of their own morale after another failure and took over!"
* (Nuke): "And was it also because of your treatment?"
* Crobra: "OH COME ON NOW?! ET TU?! WE'RE VILLAINS, AREN'T WE?!"
* (Nuke): "I know, I know, just thought I have a full understanding. But I have fairly warned you that extremism has been outdated-"
* Crobra: BECAUSE OF TEX, I KNOW, BUT, MURDOCK CLEARLY USED THAT AGAINST US!! We have to do something.
* (Nuke): I can't promise any guarantees. The Villains Act renounced extremism for a very good reason. Villains have fallen because of ignoring the Tex regulations. But if you're sure Murdock seems to be a detriment, then very well. We will cut the Legion's funding and denounce their potaintional new VA status! But in return, I want you to try and counter-usurp the basturd and do what you can to keep the Legion from ending up becoming another failed experiment like the Villain Reserves. Otherwise, I can't promise the Dark Radicals would still do business with the Legion even AFTER your usurper problems are dealt with! The Legion may have a bad reputation by then!"
* Crobra: "Understood, Nuke. And I apologiesed for this embarrisment."
* (Nuke): "Well, if you hadn't started to worry about the Astral Princess and not expect the Heroes being as oppertunistic as we are and are not in a serious rush to actselly disban you guys, ya probulity wouldn't've ended up putting the fools on the path of that happening anyway because of the heroes being made angry by the Legion doing too much evil to bare!"
* Crobra: "... (Sighs while face palming) NOW you tell me! You mean to imply that we should've left the Astral Princess thing alone?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DANGEROUS SHE IS?!"
* (Nuke): "Yes. Astral Princesses are basicly like our universes' answer to Uniters, however, of which are likely bound to the same sorts of rules that basicly prevent any feared villain genoside, like they would only be a threat to us, if you give them REASON to, and I think by having this Murdock guy around, your pretty much risking the Legion's stability anyway cause of would-be fears, cause you keep harrassing the heroes about this Astral Princess. It's one thing to make a comtemporary solution to keep the Astral Princess from instintly defeating you in a current plan, it's ANOTHER, to aggrovate the heroes constintly over it! (Crobra realised this) I mean, basicly, you pretty much imitated UIS on how they over-reacted to Gazelle's potaintional to be a use to the USRA races."
* Crobra: "BUT THEY DIDN'T SUFFER A USURPER PROBLEM?!"
* (Nuke): "Yet."
* Crobra: "This is serious, sir!"
* (Nuke): "I know, I know! Just do what you can, and the Dark Rads will handle the burocacy. Nuke, out!" (The Inermission ended).
* Crobra: "..... (Quietly and darkly) Get ready to regret for ever messing with the Crobra, bug!"

#### **Mind Warper Comes to his Senses.**

Dark Rad base.

* Mind Warper stood before a penace trial before the other Dark Rads......
* Mind Warper: "(Sighs regretably)..... In light of, recent events of the Villain Legion being yarged out by someone I recimended to Spectage, and that how the wreckless female has mindlessly supported it like an idiot, I, I realised..... I allow the childish fear of an adversary that I now realise is only like the Uniter and is only a leashed animal that only attacks when provoked. I didn't meant for this to happen. It's just.... I was trumatised by what occured to Mogma that, I allowed that fear to rule me, and it made me encourage Spectage to embrace a Yarge-Out waiting to happen. Now, the Legion is tainted by unregulated evil, thanks to my paranoida."
* Nuke: "Sooooo..... What do you say?"
* Mind Warper: "(Sighs, metathoricly swallowing his pride)..... I'm...... I'm sorry. I'm very super-omega sorry with Bazaberries on top."
* Nuke: "Gooooood jooooob! Now was that so hard?"
* Mind Warper: "It's difficult enough Spectage has tainted the Legion of VA Assendson, do you have to be a condesending prick about it and rub it in?"
* Rude: "Okay okay, I think you suffered enough."
* Mind Warper: "But, I do want to offer how I can redeem myself by offering a stragity for Crobra to correct this usurp and to doom Murdock to the fate typical of unregulated evils. We used the provokable nature of the Astral Princess to punish Murdock for good."
* Nuke: "Eh, eh, NOW he's getting it."
* Mind Warper: "Then afterwords, we'll try to stay as clear of the Astral Princess and focus only on the Loungers. No more destroying the Princess AND ESPEICALLY not the blade. Disabling her during a plan is still required though, but otherwise, we're not messing with her from here on out."
