## Transcript

(At night.)

A little boy ran down an alleyway, up to a brick wall! He was breathing fast, and looked back, leaning against the wall.

Little boy: "I don't know who you are! But please go away!"

In front of him, a tall figure in a dark gray cloak, with a skull for a face, and bright yellow eyes appeared, beginning to hover towards the child. As the cloaked figure moved, a bunch of thick fog followed him.

Cloaked figure: "Oh, I'll let you go… But first you must call your father."

A bright red payphone appeared in front of the boy.

Figure: "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. If your father guesses the same one, I'll let you live."

The boy rushed to dial his father.

(His father answered from home.)

Father: "Hello?"

Boy: "Daddy! Quick!"

Father: "Isaac? Are you okay?"

Boy: "Just tell me a number between one and ten!"

Father: "Uh… Okay…"

He thought for a minute, as the scene cuts to show the father in a living room.

Father: "Seven?"

Suddenly, there was a bunch of static through the phone!

Father: "Issac? ISAAC?!"

The scene cuts back to the alleyway and shows the phone dangling from the box… Now no one is there!

(Super Sponge intro is played.)

(Sunset, the next day.)

Patrick Star and Super Sponge were flying high in the sky above Bikini Bottom, using their inflatable pants. They were both holding bubble wands, and as they twirled around in the air, they were making tons of shapes with bubble soap.

Super Sponge: "HAHAHAHA!"

Patrick: "This is fun!"

Super Sponge: "I'm so happy that Sandy made you a pair of inflatable pants too. Now I have someone else to share the joys of flying with."

Patrick: "Hey SpongeBob,"

Super Sponge: "What?"

Patrick: "Say bubble."

Patrick flew off to the side, as bubbles were shooting out everywhere.

Patrick: "HAHAHAHA!"

SpongeBob: "HAHAHAHA!"

They both landed on a Downtown rooftop, near the Bikini Bottom Museum.

Super Sponge: "Hold on, Pat."

A teenage boy in a hoodie ran into the museum.

Super Sponge: "What's that guy doing?"

Super Sponge swooped down to check it out.

Inside the museum, another teen boy in a hoodie said: "Took you long enough."

Teen 1: "Isn't this place closed at this time?"

Teen 2: "Yeah, but it's open to us. Heheh-"

"You shouldn't be here…" said a deep voice in the shadowy distance, in front of them.

Teen 1: "And who are you? Our Mom?"

The cloaked figure popped out of the shadows, with a smile on his skull face.

Cloaked figure: "No, but you two are gonna want your mommies."

Teen 2: "Let's get outta here!"

The teens started running the other direction, but then a shadow magically became a 3D creature shaped like a giant arm, and picked the teens up by their shoulders!

Teens: "AGH!!!"

A red payphone appeared inside the museum.

Cloaked Figure: "If you want to leave, you have to make a call first."

Just then, Super Sponge and Patrick barged through the door, as the teens were using the payphone!

Super Sponge: "You let them go, whoever you are!"

The cloaked figure looked at Super Sponge and laughed.

Cloaked Figure: "HAHAHA!!! Very funny."

Super Sponge and Patrick were confused.

Cloaked Figure: "GET THEM!!!"

Five zombie children with yellow eyes and sink faucets where their mouths would go appeared, walking towards Super Sponge and Patrick!

Super Sponge: "STAY BACK!"

Super Sponge waved his bubble wand around, hitting the Sink Mouth Zombies with bubbles! The bubbles sent one of the zombies flying backwards, but then a different Sink Mouth Zombie's faucet stretched outward from its face, and shot a powerful current of water at Super Sponge! Super Sponge crashed into the wall behind him! A fancy vase on display fell to the ground and shattered to pieces!

The two teens in the background stepped out of the payphone, and started screaming in pain, as their mouths slowly transformed into metal sink faucets!

Then, the cloaked figure disappeared with the teens.

Patrick: "We need to get out of here, SpongeBob!"

Patrick blew a giant bubble around himself and Super Sponge, as they floated up, crashing through the ceiling, escaping from the museum!

(Later, at SpongeBob's pineapple house.)

SpongeBob laid down on his bed, wearing pajamas.

Gary: "Meow."

SpongeBob: "Good night, Gary."

(Thinking to himself) SpongeBob: "Hopefully I'll be more successful tomorrow."

SpongeBob fell asleep.

Just then, he found himself standing in a huge library.

SpongeBob: "Where am I?"

The Librarian of the Galaxy appeared in front of him.

Librarian of the Galaxy: "Welcome back, SpongeBob."

SpongeBob: "Am I dreaming right now?"

Librarian of the Galaxy: "Yes, but this is all real. Everything I say to you here is what I'm really saying. And I've come to give you a warning."

SpongeBob: "A warning? But I already succeeded in the great battle. Me and Sandy beat Dallas when she attacked our town."

Librarian of the Galaxy: "That wasn't the battle I warned you about when we first met. It was merely just a small conflict in the big picture."

SpongeBob: "What?!"

The room they were standing in started to get blurry and moved away from SpongeBob, as SpongeBob began floating in an empty, black void.

SpongeBob: "Wait! Do you have any advice for me in my current conflict?"

Librarian of the Galaxy: "Don't be scared to face your enemies, SpongeBob. Don't be scared…"

The Librarian of the Galaxy completely faded away, leaving SpongeBob by himself.

SpongeBob: "But that doesn't actually help me!"

(Evening, the next day.)

Super Sponge and Patrick were at the Treedome, and Sandy was there too, looking at a big computer.

Sandy: "That creep you saw last night has been popping up all over town lately. People are calling him The Operator. Apparently he'll ask his victims to give them a number between 1 and 10, and he'll only let them live if they guess the correct answer."

Super Sponge: "So, what's the correct answer?"

Sandy: "That's the thing. Apparently, people have tried every number, but he still turns his victims into those Sink Mouth Zombies you fought."

Super Sponge: "So it's just a sick game?"

Sandy: "Unless the answer is a decimal or something…"

Super Sponge's shell phone rang.

(Answering the call)Super Sponge: "Hello? … Mr. Krabs? … On it!"

Sandy: "What did he want?"

Super Sponge: "Pearl called him, asking for a number… She's at the Halloween Festival!"

(The scene cuts to Downtown Bikini Bottom, where the streets were blocked off, there were Halloween themed tents, and tons of fish were wearing costumes.)

The Operator appeared floating in the sky and a bunch of Sink Mouth Zombies appeared running on the ground, below him, towards everyone at the festival! They were shooting thick liquids out of their faucets at people!

The Operator: "HALLOWEEN IS MINE NOW!"

Super Sponge and Patrick showed up, holding their bubble wands!

Super Sponge: "Alright Patrick, let's do this!"

They both began jumping back and forth and waving their wands around, shooting tons of bubbles at the zombies!

The zombies kept coming towards them, but Super Sponge and Patrick were winning!

Super Sponge: "Oh no! I'm out of soap!"

Patrick: "Me too!"

The Operator was becoming taller and laughing!

Patrick: "Am I just freaking out or is he getting bigger?"

Super Sponge: "Wait, Patrick! That's it!"

(Flashback) Librarian of the Galaxy: "Don't be scared to face your enemies, SpongeBob. Don't be scared…"

Super Sponge: "That creature feeds off of fear! By giving into his numbers game, his victims are doing what he wants and making him more powerful! All we have to do is show him we aren't afraid of him!"

Patrick: "Nope, that's on you, buddy. I think I just wet my shorts."

Super Sponge: "Okay, then, fine!"

Super Sponge flew towards The Operator, but two Sink Mouth Zombies grabbed onto Super Sponge's arms, holding him back!

The Operator got right up in Super Sponge's face, and laughed.

The Operator: "MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO GUESS A NUMBER…"

Super Sponge: "No! I'm not afraid of you!"

The Operator: "What?!"

Super Sponge: "You're nothing but a big fat meanie!"

The Operator started to shrink to regular height!

The Operator: "NOOO!"

Super Sponge: "And who even uses payphones nowadays?"

The Operator continued shrinking!

Super Sponge: "What is this? 1995?"

The Operator: "AAAAGHH!!!"

Super Sponge: "I think your whole gimmick is so outdated."

The Operator shrunk to the same size as Plankton, as all of the Sink Mouth Zombies faded out of existence!

Just then, a teenage boy in gold colored armor appeared in the sky, out of nowhere, holding a bottomless cage, and dropped the cage over The Operator, trapping him in place! He did this while landing on his feet.

Super Sponge: "Wha-? Who are you?"

Young lad: "I'm the Swordfish. I'm here to help."

A fish in the crowd of citizens surrounding the area shouted: "THAT GUY SAVED THE DAY!"

Another fish yelled: "LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE SWORDFISH!"

The crowd of citizens carried the Swordfish away, cheering for him, as he smiled and held his hands in the air.

Patrick flew over to Super Sponge.

Super Sponge: "I don't know about that guy, Patrick, but I've got an odd feeling…"

Pearl appeared, running over to them, and hugged Mr. Krabs!

Pearl: "Daddy!"

Pearl then backed up, and said: "Ew. Don't ever tell anyone I just hugged you like that, Dad. I'm just happy to see you."

Mr. Krabs: "I'm happy to see you too, Pearl."

Super Sponge: "Well, at least we saved the day, Patrick. Even if we don't get credit for it this time…"

The scene cuts forward in time, to The Operator sitting on a jail bed, as he's locked up in a jail cell.

He was bouncing a tennis ball off the wall and back.

Just then, the bars to the cell opened, as a buff man in soldier-type clothes, who has a sharp, sword-like head entered the cell.

Man: "My name's Arsenal. What would you say if I offered you a rematch with Super Sponge?"

The Operator grinned.

The End?
