BANDY'S UNIVERSE Ep 3: Spongebob's Alien Visitors

**Spongebob's Alien Visitors** is the third episode of Bandy's Universe.

## Plot

This episode begins with Nathaniel waking up in Spongebob's house from Gary's meowing. He goes to the mirror, discovering he is now in Spongebob's body. Not long after, Carl knocks on the door, having the body of Squidward, he asks Nathaniel of his choice of the Spongebob universe to which Nate replies he didn't think the Orb of Travel would take them to a cartoon. They decide to find Bathaniel as they set outside, and presume he has taken the form of Patrick. Nathaniel asks Patrick if he's ***really*** Patrick which he (Patrick) confirms before having a minor existential crisis. Nathaniel concludes that Bathaniel isn't Patrick and asks him to take them to Sandy. While Patrick obliges, he takes them several detours and stops at the Krusty Krab for a snack break. As the cashier goes to take Nathaniel's order, Mr Krabs turns up and asks why Spongebob is here on his day off, and later Squidward which Carl simply dodges the question. As Nathaniel and Carl follow Patrick out of the Krusty Krab, Mr Krab returns to his office, revealing to be Bathaniel, who does not recognize the two.

As Patrick finally takes Nathaniel and Carl to Sandy's treedome, Nathaniel gets rid of him by tasking him to get an orange jellyfish. They visit Sandy who initially believes they are Spongebob and Squidward, but gets suspicious when the both of them begin to break character. Carl hastily comes clean, revealing to Sandy that him and Nathaniel are space travelers looking for five orbs and are currently looking for two more. After a brief pause, Sandy laughs, assuming that Squidward is joking. That is until Nathaniel tells her of the Orb of Power and how they have used it, to which Sandy does believe them. She rushes to her tree to fetch a book which gives them info on the Orb of Knowledge and the Orb of Life. Although the whereabouts of the Orb of Life are is not present, the book reveals the Orb of Knowledge to be in King Neptune's castle. At first, Nathaniel believes they get the Orb easily, Sandy denounces the idea, due to the high security and the Orb being hidden, she advises the two to infiltrate when King Neptune is unaware of them. Carl suggests going to the castle during the time Mr Krabs got frozen. When Sandy asks how Carl knows that, he explains that Spongebob universe is a cartoon in their universe and that Mr Krabs is frozen by Neptune in the first movie. This surprises Sandy who always knew parallel universes exist, and reveals she owns a time machine to bring Nathaniel and Carl to the events of the movie's plot. While the time machine is still in the works, she tells the two bring back chum; due to being environmentally friendly and that Plankton would find it suspicious if she were to ask for some. To loosen suspicion of Plankton, they try to act more natural.

After reaching the Chum Bucket through driving a rock, Carl walks in to Plankton crying and shortly noticing him. Carl, as Squidward claims to have quit working for Mr Krabs and requests to work for Plankton. The latter agrees on the condition Carl brings back Spongebob. As Carl leaves, Karen wheels up to Plankton, remarking that he is really '99% hot gas', stating that Squidward is clearly scheming against him given the sudden entrance and lack of reason. Plankton disagrees with her, retorting that Mr Krabs 'has been paying them in bubbles for years', and that he doesn't blame them. Carl returns with Nathaniel who joins in the plan, Plankton orders them to bring back the Krabby Patty secret formula. But Nathaniel doesn't know the formula, so he and Carl are forced out until they return with it. They had back to the Krusty Krab and try to discuss with Mr Krabs. Nathaniel suggests to Mr Krabs that the secret formula should be hidden at Squidward's house given Plankton would never target there. Mr Krabs yields, and gives them the formula, but warns them it gets out their hands, 'they'll be sleeping between boulders for the rest of their days'. Nathaniel and Carl leave with the formula as Bathaniel closes the door, still unable to recognize them since they didn't notice his boulder reference.

Carl offers the formula to Plankton but on a condition. Plankton is outraged, stating he is now their boss and orders them to give him the formula immediately but Nathaniel asserts they can leave anytime, to which he asks Plankton for some chum. Plankton seeming accepts the deal as he asks the formula first, and takes off with it. Karen tells the two that Plankton is ready to destroy them to which he bursts out with a 'giant mech' which is still smaller than Nathaniel. Despite this, the mech wields massive power such as rockets as the two come under attack by Plankton's assault to which Karen is hit in the crossfire. Luckily Carl finds a pair of laser guns and gives one to Nathan who initially struggles on shooting Plankton, though Carl lands a shot through the eye of the mech causing to become unstable. Before they are caught in the ensuing explosion, Carl tells Nathan to shoot at the wall as they make an escape narrowly as the Chum Bucket is destroyed. Irritated that the plan did not work, Carl shoots at the ground, revealing that the chum was buried the whole time, much to the two's annoyance.

Sandy is shocked that Nathaniel and Carl had destroyed the Chum Bucket though Nathaniel insists that Plankton was the one to attack him. Patrick returns, with the orange jellyfish in his breathing jar, and ends up suffocating when Carl points this out. Nathaniel sends Patrick off again to find a rainbow jellyfish, in another attempt to get rid of him. As Sandy powers the machine, she sets it to 2004 after some slip ups. Before joining Nathaniel in the time machine, Carl asks Sandy about the Void, to which Sandy replies she is unaware of it, which adds to Carl's suspicion. The time machine activates and promptly winds up near King Neptune's castle. They attempt to find an entrance, but as Carl reaches the drawbridge, he ends up falling through a trap door, leading Nathaniel to follow suit. They end up in a dungeon, as they walk, Carl questions the mission they are on. Nathaniel doesn't understand where Carl is coming from, reaffirming the mission was to find all five orbs. Carl replies that if that if the orbs are the most important aspect of reality; how did all of them get lost in the first place? Nathaniel reassures that Mod is not scamming them and that their mission is important.

As they proceed, they face two guards from Neptune who see them as intruders. Nathaniel and Carl are attacked by them but eventually get the upper hand by killing both of them with their own spears. A chest pops up, revealing a whip which Nathaniel uses. But by doing so at a wall, causes lava to pour out, leaving them to find another place. Nathan precariously swings himself and Carl over a lava crevice from loose chain. The dangers do not stop, as the two come across hungry nematodes, which Carl is forced to dangle over lava though Squidward's suction tentacles as the nematodes drop in the lava. With the nematodes gone, Nathaniel and Carl drop to the floor. Carl urges to Nathaniel that when they find the orb, they should go home which the latter refuses. Carl argues that they could be helping the wrong person for the orbs and that they don't even know what to do with the universes they corrupted. Nathaniel firmly suggests that they find the last orb and then decide since Shulk said their future is 'technically successful' and that everything would go back to normal. Carl is still annoyed by Nathaniel's obliviousness and reluctantly agrees to go along with the mission. The two end up in a chamber with separate paths with a clarinet in the middle. After getting lost, Carl uses the clarinet to track the correct path which takes them to Neptune's throne room. Nathaniel deduces that since King Neptune isn't very smart, he would keep the orb in an obvious place. Carl finds the Orb of Knowledge underneath the cushion of Neptune's throne. And with that, they are ready to leave the universe.

Nathaniel and Carl wind up in the Void again with the orb in hand, they realize that Bathaniel is nowhere to be found after Mod notices this. It is then that they realize that Bathaniel was Mr Krabs.
