Team SpongeBob - Season 10:  Crisis on Infinite Timelines

Ep.159 "The Super Society of Bikini Bottom"

Location Unknown

A portal opens as SpongeBob, Sandy, Pearl, and Linda come flying out of it.

"OWW!" Pearl yells, hitting the ground.

Everyone groans in pain.

It appears to be nighttime as the four appear to be in some kind of alleyway.

The portal closes.

"Where the hell are we?" Sandy asked, standing up.

"I... I don't know." SpongeBob said.

"We're in some kind of back alley. Jesus, these buildings look old." Linda said.

Pearl picked up a newspaper that was lying near a dumpster.

"Uh, guys... I think I know where we are. Or... when we are." Pearl said.

"Pearl, what do you mean?" Sandy asked.

Pearl showed them the date on the newspaper.

"October 10, 1983." SpongeBob said, astonished.

"We're in the 80s!???" Linda questioned.

"Victoria used the time jewel." Sandy said.

"Right. Wait... someone's missing." Linda said.

"Debbie, Aria, and Alex." Pearl said.

"No, I know Debbie and Aria are missing, but... Alex." Linda said.

"Wait, Alex was with us when we got sent through the portal. So, why didn't he come through?" Sandy questioned.

"Perhaps he ended up in another time." SpongeBob suggested.

"Luckily the rest of us weren't scattered. Though, I am really worried about Alex." Linda said.

"Agreed." Pearl said.

Suddenly, out of the shadows, a figure appears.

"WHO ARE YOU?" the person yells.

The team turns toward the figure.

"Oh my god!" Pearl said, recognizing them.

The person was a younger Mr. Eugene Krabs, dressed in a superhero costume.

"I won't ask again." Krabs said, pointing a gun.

"Krabs?" SpongeBob asked.

"... Eugene?" Sandy questioned.

"How do you know me?" Krabs questioned, with his eyes widening.

Out of the shadows, three others appeared. A younger Victoria Chrome, a younger Plankton, and another man.

"You guys need to chill. We're superheroes." SpongeBob said.

"A large energy surge was detected in this area. Tell us what you're all up to, and maybe we'll let you live." Victoria said.

"We don't have time for this!" Sandy said.

"THAT'S IT! LETS TAKE THEM!" Plankton yelled.

The two sides engaged in combat.

SpongeBob used his speed to knock back Krabs and take his gun.

"What the hell?" Krabs asked, in shock.

Victoria had some kind of cold gun, which she used to shoot an icy blast at Sandy.

SpongeBob speeded Sandy out of the way.

Plankton pressed a button on his own suit, allowing him to shrink to an even smaller size.

"What the hell?" Pearl said, trying to line up an arrow.

Suddenly, from under her foot, Pearl felt herself being pushed up.

"HEY!" Pearl yelled, falling to her back and hitting her head on the ground.

Linda came face to face with the other man.

"And who are you?" Linda asked.

"You can call me James." James said, raising his heat gun.

James shot out a fire blast at Linda.

Linda used her powers to fly into the sky, avoiding the blast.

"I don't know how you're able to run so fast, but cold slows down speed, boy!" Victoria said.

"Let's see about it!" SpongeBob said, speeding over to her.

Victoria shot at his feet with her cold gun, as SpongeBob slipped into some trash cans and passed out.

Sandy comes face to face with Krabs, as both begin to throw punches.

"You can't beat me!" Sandy said, performing a spin kick on him.

"But I can!" Victoria said, shooting an icy blast at Sandy.

"Uhhh." Sandy groaned, passing out.

Linda shoots a light blast down at Victoria.

Victoria did a backflip, avoiding it.

Suddenly, Linda is attacked by a seemingly telepathic wave.

"Ahhh!" Linda yelled, passing out.

Linda falls out of the sky, but is caught by Krabs.

"I leave you guys alone for five minutes and you pick a fight with a flying girl?" a voice was heard.

A younger Ms. Puff enters the alley way, wearing some kind of device around her forehead.

"Thanks for the save." Victoria said.

"What shall we do with this lot?" Krabs questioned.

"Take them back to HQ." Victoria suggested.

"Yeah. Something seems very misplaced about them." Puff said.

----

HQ

The team awoken inside a large jail cell.

"GUYS!" SpongeBob said, jumping up.

"I'm fine." Sandy said, standing.

"So am I." Pearl said.

"Where are we?" Linda questioned.

"Some kind of cell inside some kind of base." SpongeBob said.

"It's morning." Sandy said, looking out of one of the base window's.

"Move out of the way, I'm breaking us out of this bitch." Linda said.

Linda shot a light blast at the bars, but some kind of invisible barrier absorbed the blast.

"The cell's coated with anti-meta technology." Sandy said.

"Who were those guys?" Linda questioned.

Sandy, Pearl, and SpongeBob all looked at each other.

"Someone better start talking." Linda said.

"A few weeks ago, my father was kidnapped." Pearl said.

"Eugene Krabs?" Linda asked.

"Yes." Pearl said.

"Who did it?" Linda asked.

"A woman named Rita Thompson. She was a supervillain from the 1980s, named Silverstorm." Pearl told her.

"What does that have to do with Krabs? Or these guys?" Linda asked.

"Pearl's father was a part of a secret government-funded military group in the 1980s." Sandy explained.

"A superhero military group?" Linda asked.

"Yeah." Sandy said.

"Silverstorm was their last enemy, but she got away. Years later in 2017, she kidnapped my dad to lure me to her." Pearl said.

"Why?" Linda questioned.

"He accidentally murdered her daughter." Pearl said.

"Oh my god. A daughter for a daughter." Linda figured.

"Krabs seeing you here in the 1980s could have disastrous effects on the timeline." SpongeBob said.

"NOT if I don't tell him I'm his daughter." Pearl said.

SpongeBob nodded.

At that moment, the five 'superheroes' walked into the room.

"Here we have you!" Plankton said, looking sinister.

"Plankton, try not to sound so cheesy?" Krabs stated.

"Krabs, let us go." SpongeBob said.

"How the hell do you know my name?" Krabs asked.

"We know who all of you are." Sandy said.

"The Super Society of Bikini Bottom." Pearl stated.

Krabs, Puff, Plankton, Victoria, and James all looked at each other.

"How do you all know that?" Puff asked.

"We're not exactly publicly known." Victoria added.

"Because the energy signature you traced... it was a time portal." SpongeBob revealed.

"You're time travelers." Victoria said.

"Not willingly." Sandy stated.

"What does that mean?" Krabs asked.

"In the future, we're all superheroes. We got into a confrontation with someone who forced us through a portal." Linda explained, looking at Victoria.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Victoria asked.

"No reason." Linda said.

"Should we believe them?" James questioned.

"NO! Let's fry them all!" Plankton said, jumping up and down.

"Plankton, stop it. Seriously dude." Krabs said.

Plankton rolled his eyes.

"Let em out." Puff said.

After a few moments, Team SpongeBob followed the Super Society into their Mission Room.

The room was huge, with a long wooden, golden brown table and a large video screen.

"This screen for you guys' mission assignments?" Pearl asked.

"Yeah. We recieve our assignments from a military leader. We call him The Chief." Krabs stated.

"So, do you all have superpowers?" Linda asked.

"Our suits and tech allow us to mimic 'powers'." Puff said.

"Except me. I'm just good with a riffle." Krabs said, smiling.

"Where does a business man learn how to use a riffle?" Sandy questioned.

"Oh, you're aware of the Krusty Krab? That's odd. It's not a very profitable establishment, but me and Plankton are trying to turn it around." Krabs revealed.

"And I am pretty certain you guys will." Sandy said, smirking.

SpongeBob nudged her arm.

"What about you?" Linda asked, looking at Victoria.

"This cold gun here was designed to emit cold energy particles in the forms of icy gusts or icicles." Victoria stated.

"My heat gun just shoots out flames." James said, impressed with himself.

"Yeah, you tried to fry me last night." Linda said.

"Sorry about that." James stated.

"I didn't see you last night, though I did feel a psychic attack." Linda said, pointing to Puff.

"Oh yeah, sorry. You guys see this head piece here?" Puff asked, referring to the tech around her forehead.

"Yeah." SpongeBob said.

"What about it?" Linda asked.

"It allows me to transmit my own neuron signals to another person." Puff said.

"So, is that supposed to mimic telepathy?" Sandy questioned.

"I can't read minds, but I can cause disturbances within them by transmitting neuron messages." Puff said.

"Psychic attacks. Interesting invention." Sandy said.

"Did everyone forgot about me?!?" Plankton said, hopping up and down.

"Oh, you're just so small." Pearl said.

"My suit allows me to shrink beyond my current small size! But the benefit is the technology provides me with amazing stregnth." Plankton yapped, feeling good about himself.

"We mostly use him for getting into small places." Victoria dismissed, making the others laugh.

"HEY!" Plankton roared.

"How do we possibly get you all back home?" Puff questioned.

"We'll figure it out. In the meantime, I'm sure these guys could use a drink after everything they've been through." Krabs said.

"Hells to the yeah. Time travel is a first for us." Pearl said, looking at the others.

"There's a great bar on the edge of Bikini Bottom." Victoria said.

"You look like you're not yet old enough to drink." Linda noticed.

"That's what fake ID's are for." Victoria said.

"I don't know about this. Us going out into broad daylight and potentially affecting the timeline." SpongeBob said.

"Up to you guys." Krabs said, walking off.

Victoria followed after.

The team huddled together.

"I wanna go. I wanna find out more about Victoria in the past." Linda said.

"Alright, but don't do anything stupid." SpongeBob said.

"I wanna go to." Pearl said, thinking it over.

"To talk with Krabs..." SpongeBob guessed.

"I won't say anything about our relation, I promise." Pearl said.

"I trust you." SpongeBob said.

"I'll stay here with SpongeBob." Sandy said.

Linda and Pearl took off after Krabs and Victoria.

Bikini Buze

"Welcome to the Bikini Buze." Krabs said, as the four entered the bar.

"Bikini Buze? Such obvious naming." Pearl said.

Krabs walks up to the counter, as Pearl follows after.

"I don't actually come here and drink." Victoria whispered to Linda.

"Oh?" Linda asked.

"Nah, Krabs won't let me." Victoria said, laughing.

"What do you do?" Linda asked.

"I play some pool. Fancy a game?" Victoria asked.

"You're on." Linda said, following after her.

Pearl sat by Krabs at the bar.

She couldn't help but be astonished by seeing the younger version of her father.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Krabs asked.

"Sorry, I was just wondering. Are you a scotch man or..." Pearl covered.

"Two martinis. Dry." Krabs told the bartender.

"How'd you figure I liked martinis?" Pearl asked.

"I don't know. I got the sense somehow." Krabs said.

"Funny how that works." Pearl said, smiling.

"So, how'd you all get involved with this?" Pearl asked.

"A covert military group based around superweapons and supersuits?" Krabs asked.

"Well, yeah." Pearl said.

"Each of us fell into this a different way. For me, I made some trade-offs to get my Krust Krab establishment up and running." Krabs admitted.

"Shady dealings..." Pearl said.

"Not shady. I'm helping protect my state. In turn, I get a little monetary benefit to help my resturant." Krabs said.

"I get that." Pearl said.

"What's your name, by the way?" Krabs asked.

"Uhh, P." Pearl lied.

"P? Well, that's... unfortunate." Krabs said, chuckling.

Pearl laughed herself.

"Oh shut up." Pearl said, shaking her head.

The bartender sat down their martinis.

"Enjoy." the bartender said.

"I guess this is on you?" Pearl questioned.

"This round and the next." Krabs said, winking at her.

Across the room, Linda and Victoria were seen playing pool.

"Nice shot! You're a pro at this." Linda said.

"Thanks." Victoria said, proudly.

"How does a teenager like yourself get involved with the military?" Linda asked.

"There are perks to being a child soldier." Victoria said.

"Like what?" Linda asked.

"I have a home. I'm not on the streets selling myself or getting kidnapped." Victoria said.

Linda nodded.

Super Society HQ

At the HQ, Puff was seen leading Sandy into a room full of gadgets.

"All of this technology was created by the military?" Sandy asked.

"No. The only thing the military had a hand in were our super weapons. These are all prototypes of new technologies invented by Plankton." Puff informed her.

"Really?" Sandy asked.

"Did I hear my name?" Plankton asked, walking in.

"I was just showing Sandy some of the new tech you were working on." Puff said.

"Yes, yes, yes. I am quite the mechanic and scientist, if I do say so myself." Plankton yapped, flattering himself.

"I'm a scientist myself." Sandy said.

"What was your name again?" Plankton asked.

"Uhhh, Sandra." Sandy said.

"Cool. Well Sandra, would you like to help me perfect my energy canon?" Plankton asked.

"... Yeah, sure." Sandy said, unsure.

"I'll leave you two to it." Puff said, exiting.

Back in the mission room, James in shown hovering over a machine.

"What is that?" SpongeBob asked, appearing behind him.

"You gave me a fright, Bob." James said.

"Sorry." SpongeBob said.

"This machine can track unnatural weather related changes." James said.

"Wait... are you looking for someone?" SpongeBob asked.

"Yes! How did you guess that?" James asked.

"Luck." SpongeBob said, lying.

"A woman named Rita, nicknamed Silverstorm. She's like you and the light chick." James said.

"A meta?" SpongeBob asked.

"Yes. We've never dealt with the likes of a meta before. I'm assuming there's more of them in the future?" James questioned.

"Uhh, well, yeah." SpongeBob said.

"Ahh, well anyway... Rita's dangerous. She can control the weather. She can use the forces of nature to rain down hell." James told him.

"How have you guys fared with her so far?" SpongeBob asked.

"She's a tricky one. She's almost killed us several times." James said.

"That sucks." SpongeBob said.

"Yeah. Somedays, I wish I could just go back home. But, I'm dedicated to this team." James said.

"Home?" SpongeBob asked.

"I'm from Karate Island." James said.

"Really?" SpongeBob asked.

"Yup. I have a few famous relatives in office over there. Do you know the Knox family?" James asked.

SpongeBob suddenly got a weird thought.

"What's your name again?" SpongeBob asked.

"James Knox." James said.

"Huh..." SpongeBob said, curiously.

"Everything alright?" James asked.

"Yeah, yeah." SpongeBob said.

Suddenly, the machine got a ping.

"Uh oh." James said, turning around.

Back in the lab room, Sandy and Plankton worked on a blast gun.

"This is a large gun." Sandy said.

"That's why I call it the energy canon." Plankton said.

Sandy nodded.

"So, do you know me in the future?" Plankton asked.

"Uhh, no." Sandy lied.

"Darnit, I wish I could no what my future was like." Plankton said, disappointed.

"No one should know too much about their own future. It's dangerous." Sandy said.

"True." Plankton said.

"You might not like what you find out." Sandy said, giving Plankton a cold glare.

"What does that mean?" Plankton asked.

"Oh no, I was just talking in general. If my old self from seven years ago was able to find out the things I've done recently... she wouldn't be pleased." Sandy said, feeling down.

"What have you done?" Plankton asked.

"Doesn't matter." Sandy said.

At that moment, Puff runs into the room.

"Puffy, what's the matter?" Plankton asked.

"James just got a hit on Rita's location." Puff said.

"Rita?... Silverstorm." Sandy said, whispering very quietly to herself.

Bikini Buze

Inside the bar, Pearl and Krabs downed another drink.

"So, tell me... what are you trying to make go away?" Pearl asked.

"Excuse me?" Krabs asked.

"That's your fourth martini." Pearl said.

"Yours too." Krabs.

"I just time travelled. I think I actually need four martinis. What's got you so whacked out?" Pearl asked.

"My group's last battle with a... villain... of sort." Krabs said.

"Who?" Pearl asked, knowing fully well who.

"We call her Silverstorm. I had tracked her down to a town across the ocean." Krabs said.

"You did something horrible, didn't you?" Pearl asked.

"Yeah. I put a car bomb inside her car. Didn't realize she was also hiding out with her young daughter. Rita survived the car bomb, but her daughter didn't." Krabs revealed.

"I'm so sorry." Pearl said.

"It was my fault. I was the one who convinced Plankton to build the damn thing. Even though the rest of the team kept telling me now to take drastic action." Krabs said, nearing tears.

"You're a good man. You just made a bad mistake." Pearl assured him.

"How could you possibly know what kind of man I am?" Krabs asked.

Pearl looked him in the eyes.

"I just... I know that you are..." Pearl said, skirting around the question.

"Krabs!" Victoria said, running over to him.

"What's up?" Krabs asked.

"James got a ping on Rita. We need to go, now." Victoria said.

Pearl and Linda looked at each other.

"Speak of the devil. Alright, let's go." Krabs said, getting up.

Super Society HQ

In the mission room, the Super Society and Team SpongeBob were gathered.

"Abnormal weather patterns indicate that Rita is in a secluded area on the edge of New Coral." James said.

"Where exactly?" Puff asked.

"There's a warehouse that was in construction around that area last fall. The construction crew abandoned it due to nematodes." James said.

"Time for us to bring Rita in once and for all." Krabs said.

"Ohh, that's why you guys have that meta proof cell." Pearl realized.

"Still doing upgrades on it, but I'm sure it'll be enough to hold Rita after we capture her." Plankton said.

"Alright, let's move out." SpongeBob said.

"You guys aren't coming with." Krabs said.

"What?" Linda asked.

"Our missions are our missions. We do things a certain way, and this is private military information. We could get in trouble for just having you all in this base." Victoria remarked.

"I see." SpongeBob said.

"I don't. Bob and Linda have superpowers. They can give you an edge when you take on Rita." Sandy expressed.

"Sorry, Sandra. Our decision is final." Krabs said, with the other members agreeing.

Sandy shook her head.

With that, the Super Society took off.

"I really, really hope they can handle Rita by themselves." Linda said.

"We know the history. They can't." Pearl said.

Suddenly, the tracking machine began beeping again.

SpongeBob speeded over to it.

"Guys! I think there's something they may have missed." SpongeBob said.

"What?" Sandy asked.

"Readings that indicate some kind of power source." SpongeBob said.

"They could be in trouble." Pearl said, scared.

"SpongeBob... we aren't just gonna sit here, are we?" Linda questioned.

"No." SpongeBob said.

Warehouse, New Coral

The Super Society entered the warehouse, walking up a flight of steps.

Rita stood before them, dressed in her silver costume.

"Hello, Super Society." Rita greeted, with a smile.

"Rita! Give it up here and no one has to get hurt." Krabs said, raising his riffle.

James and Victoria also raised their heat and cold guns.

"The only people who are gonna be hurt here are the five of you." Rita remarked.

Puff stepped forward, trying to use her gadget to send a psychic blow to Rita's mind.

"Ahh!" Rita screamed, Rita quickly threw an air gust, blasting Puff and Krabs away.

"Guys!" Plankton yelled.

Victoria shot an icicle at Rita, who controlled the motion of the icicle and launched it back at Victoria.

Victoria jumped out of the way, as James shot a fire blast from his heat gun.

Rita used wind to levitate to the next level.

James quickly ran up the next flight of stairs.

Rita spinned around, creating waves of wind that pushed wood and dust at James, immobilizing him.

Victoria grabbed her cold gun and shot at the bottom of the third level.

"No!" Rita said, falling through the floor.

Rita fell near a wide glass window.

Victoria quickly ran over to her.

"You get no mercy!" Victoria said, blasting Rita with the cold gun.

The icy gust forced Rita through the window.

"Hurry everyone! Outside!" Victoria said, turning around.

Super Society HQ

Sandy and Pearl were alone at the base.

"It's crazy to think of it. Plankton and Victoria were both heroes before... well, whatever the hell drove them mad." Pearl said.

"I like to think that everyone's true nature is always a part of them." Sandy said.

"I like to believe in the best in people." Pearl said.

"There is no best in Plankton and Victoria." Sandy said.

"All of this is proof that there is." Pearl said.

Sandy sighed.

"Just like I know there's good in you. Massive good." Pearl said.

"You don't have to do that." Sandy said.

"No, I'm serious. I was angry with you for a long time after you shot me. But, I've come to realize that people aren't black or white. Everyone is a huge grey shading." Pearl said.

"This have anything to do with your dad?" Sandy asked.

"He tried to brutally murder Rita. A horrible thing, but for good reason." Pearl said.

"Instead he blew up her daughter." Sandy said.

"Exactly. He'll live with that forever. But, that's what makes him a true hero. Admitting to those faults, those negatives." Pearl said.

"So what you're saying is we're all a work in progress." Sandy said.

"Some of us more than others." Pearl joked, staring at Sandy.

"Hey!" Sandy said, as both laughed.

Suddenly, the two heard some kind of explosive.

"What was that?" Sandy questioned.

"Sounds like it came from the front entrance..." Pearl said.

The two now heard sounds of people storming the HQ.

"We need to hide." Sandy said. 

Through the halls of the Super Society's HQ, about ten masked people can be seen roaming the halls while carrying guns.

"Finally, we got a lock on their base! How do you feel, Donna?" a man asked.

"Like the one million bucks we're about to get for this assignment!" Donna said.

"Doing business with a crazy woman who can control the weather really does have it's perks." another woman said.

"Spread out and take over this base. Kill anyone remaining here." Donna ordered, as her group split up.

As two men turn a corner, one of them are electrocuted by Sandy's Jelly Bite.

"Ahh!" the man shrieked, falling out.

His partner pulls up his gun, attempting to shoot Sandy.

Sandy quickly kicks the gun out of his hand, and takes him down with a leg trip.

In another area, Pearl jumps down from an air duct, immediately taking out members of Donna's group with her arrows. 

"I swear that is the last vent I travel through." Pearl said, referencing a prior experience.

Pearl enters the HQ's mission room, seeing a woman standing there.

"Hands up!" Pearl said.

Donna turns around.

"Are you a vigilante, girl? That's cute, though I've never heard of you." Donna said.

"Who sent you and your group?" Pearl asked.

"Silverstorm. She promised to pay us a million to find and take over this HQ." Donna revealed.

"Who are you guys?" Pearl asked.

"I am Donna Travis - the head of one faction of the Snake Eyes in Bikini Bottom. For the last few years, costumed and masked people have come out of the shadows, picking off factions of the Snake Eyes one by one." Donna explained.

"The Super Society." Pearl realized.

"The legends are real." Donna stated.

"I've taken down members of your group. Surrender now and I'll be more lenient with you." Pearl said.

"I think not." Donna said.

"Fine!" Pearl said, shooting an arrow.

Donna had some kind of expandable shield built into her outfit, which blocked the arrow.

Pearl shot more arrows, as Donna kept blocking, getting closer and closer to the archer.

Donna eventually slapped Pearl's bow out of her hand, as the two engaged in combat.

Donna landed several punches to Pearl's face, backing her into a corner.

Donna extended her shield again, knocking Pearl to the ground with it.

"Time for you to die, arrow-girl." Donna said, pulling out a gun.

At that moment, Sandy ran into the room.

"NOT TODAY!" Sandy yelled, shooting at Donna with the energy cannon.

As Donna was blasted across the room, Sandy raced to help Pearl up.

"Are you okay?" Sandy asked.

"You saved me from getting shot." Pearl said.

Sandy smiled, realizing the irony.

"Yeah, I guess I did." Sandy said

Warehouse, New Coral

The Super Society members all raced outside in the back of the warehouse.

"What the hell?" Krabs said.

Rita stood before a machine.

"And now... the real reason I lured you all here." Rita said.

"Just give it up, witch!" Puff said.

Rita used the wind to carry herself into the sky.

"Shoot her down!" Krabs said to Victoria and Plankton.

In the sky, Rita summoned the rain.

"Shit! I hate rain!" Plankton said.

Next, Rita summoned a huge lightning bolt, striking it at the machine below.

The machine conducted the lightning, shooting out a bolt at all five members of the Super Society.

The members shrieked in pain until a light blast destroyed the machine.

"What?" Rita asked, seeing Linda and SpongeBob entering the battlefield.

Linda shot two energy blasts at Rita, who took off quickly.

With Rita gone, the rain stopped.

"Are they okay?!?" Linda questioned.

SpongeBob speeded over to their bodies.

"They appear to be alright, just heavily unconscious." SpongeBob said.

"We need to get them back to the base." Linda said.

At that moment, several black vehicles pulled up in back of the warehouse, surrounding SpongeBob, Linda, and the fallen superheroes.

Stepping out of the cars, several government officials appeared.

Linda and SpongeBob raised their hands.

"Looks like we have some explaining to do." Linda said, looking at SpongeBob.

----

Super Society HQ

The Super Society's HQ was filled to the brim with government agents.

SpongeBob, Linda, Sandy, and Pearl stood in the mission room, as a military general walked over to them.

"Alright, you're all gonna need to explain this time travel thing to me again." General Lane said.

"We come from the year 2017. We accidently ended up here after a battle with a supervillian." Linda responded.

"So... time travel and super villains are like... common things in 2017?" Lane asked.

"Not the first one." Pearl said.

"Sir, we saved the Super Society from being killed and saved their base from a takeover. I think you can give us some leeway." Sandy said.

"No one's talking about detaining you." Lane made clear.

"Okay good." Sandy replied.

"How are the Society?" SpongeBob asked.

"Being treated in the medical wing. Most of them will recover." Lane said.

"Most? What does that mean?" Linda asked.

"Puff's in bad shape. We think she may have slipped into a coma. The others will pull through." Lane explained.

SpongeBob bowed his head.

"Do the four of you have any way of getting back home?" Lane asked.

"We're waiting on some friends to hopefully come rescue us. Other than that... no." Sandy remarked.

"Well, that's gonna be a problem." Lane said.

"Sir! Bikini Bottom is experiencing some insane weather right now!" a soldier said, running up to Lane.

"What do you mean?" Lane asked.

"We believe Rita's making it snow in the city." the soldier said.

"God, what is she up to?" Linda questioned.

"She's calling us out. Well, the Super Society, but they're down." SpongeBob said.

"Your army can't stop Rita." Sandy said to Lane.

"What are you suggesting?" Lane asked.

"Let us stop her." SpongeBob said.

"Hmm, I don't really see a better choice. You're on." Lane approved.

SpongeBob, Sandy, Linda, and Pearl huddled around a small table.

"I hate to say it, but she may also be too much for us." Linda expressed.

"I have a plan. The energy cannon that I helped past!Plankton work on." Sandy said.

"You wanna use that against Rita?" Pearl questioned.

"I'll need to get a good shot on her." Sandy said.

"I guess that's where me, Linda, and Pearl come in." SpongeBob said.

"You guys will engage her directly, and get her into a position where I can line up a shot." Sandy said.

"Let's do this." SpongeBob said.

"It will be cold out there." Lane said, walking up to them.

"Suggestion then?" SpongeBob asked.

"We have specially crafted heat-suits. They'll keep you warm, and are pretty similar to the superhero outfits you're used to." Lane explained.

Bikini Bottom

In the city, snow was piling up, as Rita landed on the streets.

Commanding lightning, Rita shot at cars, stores, and citizens with blasts.

The citizens of Bikini Bottom ran in every which way, screaming and shouting.

In a jiffy, SpongeBob arrived, using his speed to knock Rita into a car.

Rita pulled herself up.

"Luckily I'm extra durable." Rita said, raising her eyebrows.

"It doesn't have to go down like this!" SpongeBob said.

"Obviously, it does!" Rita said, shooting a lightning bolt at him.

SpongeBob speeded out of the way.

Pearl arrived, shooting arrows at Rita.

Rita did cartwheels to dodge the arrows.

"Who are you people?!?" Rita asked.

"Doesn't matter!" Pearl said, shooting another arrow.

Rita stopped it with her bear hands.

"You'll need a few more tricks to take me down." Rita teased.

"How about this!" SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob raced around Rita with his super speed, creating a wind vortex around her.

Rita used her powers to fly into the sky.

In the sky, Linda was seen flying toward Rita.

"Take THIS!" Linda yelled, shooting a light beam at her.

Rita quickly avoided the beam, shooting a lightning blast at Linda.

Linda manuevered herself out of the way.

"I'm getting better at this flying thing!" Linda said.

"Time to raise hail!" Rita quipped, using her powers to create hail.

Linda avoided the falling ice shards, managing to strike Rita back with a powerful light beam.

On top of a building nearby, Sandy and Lane were seen.

"Take the shot! This is as good a line as you'll get!" Lane encouraged Sandy.

"Got it." Sandy said, lining up the shot.

Sandy fired an energy beam from the cannon at Rita, who was blasted down into the street.

Rita's fall managed to crack through the ground and send small tremors to nearby cars.

SpongeBob, Linda, and Pearl ran over to surround Rita.

"... I'm done. I know when I've been beaten." Rita said, slowly rising.

"Do you?" SpongeBob questioned.

"Whatever I was hit with has affected my powers, I can feel it. Though, I still have a little in me to escape!" Rita said, creating a blinding mist in the surrounding area.

As the mist cleared, Rita had disappeared.

"She got away!" Pearl said.

"She'll be caught. In 2017." SpongeBob reminded them.

"Right." Linda said.

----

Super Society HQ

At the base, General Lane conversed with Team SpongeBob.

"Are you sure we won't be seeing anymore of Rita Thompson?" Lane asked.

"She'll be dormant until late 2017, where me and my team put her down for good." SpongeBob told him.

"I'm taking your word here - and so are they." Lane said.

The Super Society entered the mission room.

"You guys are alright. Wait, where is Puff?" Sandy asked.

"Comatose." Krabs said, with a sad expression.

"I'll leave you all to catch up." Lane said, heading out with his troop.

"Puff will wake up, trust me." SpongeBob said.

"We're hoping so." Victoria said.

"Everything alright?" Linda asked.

"Something happened to me and James when we were hit by the lightning conduct." Victoria said.

"Maybe in reaction to the guns we were carrying." James said.

"Wait... no..." SpongeBob whispered.

Victoria lifted up her hand, producing an icy gust from herself.

James lifted his hand, turning it into magma.

SpongeBob, Sandy, Linda, and Pearl stared at each other.

"We're metafish now... like you guys." James said, a bit concerned.

"This is strange." Krabs said.

"It's kinda cool. No pun intended. I'll be sure to use these abilities for good." Victoria said.

"I'm... sure you will." Linda said, a bit saddened.

"What's next for you guys?" SpongeBob asked.

"We're splitting up." Krabs said.

"What?" the four Team SpongeBob members said in unison.

"That's right. Things have changed since Rita entered our lives." Krabs stated.

"None of us have the heart to carry on anymore. Especially without Puff." Plankton said.

"But first... we do wanna help you guys get home." James said.

"Maybe Sandra and Plankton can work on something..." Victoria suggested.

At that moment, a portal opened.

"What the hell?" Krabs said, as everyone looked back.

Aria stepped out of the portal.

"You guys are here! And okay!" Aria cheered.

"Aria!" SpongeBob said, excitedly.

"Man, you're a sight for sore eyes." Sandy said, rushing over to hug her.

"Well, this is uncharacteristic." Aria said, as Sandy stopped hugging her.

"Looks like you guys got your way back home." James said.

"Yeah, we do..." SpongeBob said, a bit saddened.

"Take care, Bob. Maybe I'll see you around in 2017." Krab said, shaking his hand.

"I'm sure we'll meet long before then." SpongeBob hinted.

"Hey, Victoria... I don't know what else to say, but... always remember to choose good." Linda said to Victoria.

"Yeah... of course." Victoria said, feeling odd.

"Goodbye, guys." Sandy said, waving.

"Hey, P... look me up in 2017. I would love to be friends even if I'm all old and wrinkly." Krabs said, laughing.

"Trust me, we'll see each other in 2017." Pearl said, kissing his cheek.

With that, Aria, SpongeBob, Linda, Sandy, and Pearl left through the portal.

----

Patel Reef, Karate Island

The heroes arrived back at temple.

"You guys are alright!" Debbie said, closing the portal.

"Oh god, Triton's ice ashes have melted." Sandy said, looking down on the floor.

"Wait, where's Alex?" Aria asked.

"We were hoping he was with you guys..." SpongeBob said.

"He certainly didn't end up where we did." Linda stated.

"We have to go after him." Debbie said, tapping into the time jewel.

"How'd she get it from Victoria?" Sandy asked Aria.

"Long story." Aria said.

A new portal opened up.

"Alright, come on Alex." Debbie said, walking through.

...

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: Crisis on Infinite Timelines

Ep.160 "Dystopia"

ONE MINUTE AGO

Patel Reef, Karate Island

"Triton was a person. I am not. That's why he couldn't be the one to rule - it had to be me!" Victoria told them.

"Victoria... if there is still a decent part left in you... you'll think about your son, Tomoya. You'll stop this!" Pearl said.

"I don't feel love for anyone. And I won't be stopping. I'll continue Triton's plan." Victoria said.

Victoria used the power of the Time Jewel to open up a massive wormhole inside the chamber.

"NO!" SpongeBob said.

The wormhole was strong enough to completely pull in SpongeBob, Sandy, Linda, Pearl, and Alex.

----

Unknown

"AHHHH!" Alex screams, falling out of the portal.

Alex lifts up, taking in his surroundings.

"It's nighttime, I'm in some kind of forest, and... it's kind of cold." Alex said, looking around.

Suddenly, out of the shadows, several soldiers carrying some kind of blast guns appear.

"HANDS UP!" one of the soldiers shouts.

"Okay, okay!" Alex said, raising his hands.

Suddenly, the grounds began to shake.

"Oh no! It's Tremors!" one soldier said.

"What..?" Alex questioned.

"A vibration blast sent a few soldiers flying.

"Ahhh!" the soldiers shrieked.

Alex used the opportunity to take down the remaining with lightning blasts.

A woman steps out from behind some trees.

"Oh my god." the woman said.

"Tetra?" Alex said, realizing the woman is Tetra King.

"No! This is impossible!" Tetra said.

"Tetra, what the hell is going on... " Alex said, stepping toward her.

Tetra blasted Alex into a tree with a sonic wave.

"Yeah, what the hell is going on here?" Tetra questioned, freaked out.

Alex soon awakens on top of a table inside some kind of compound bunker.

Tetra is seen walking over to him.

"Who are you?" Tetra asked.

"It's me! Alex! Ya know, [i[Lightning[/i]." Alex tried to explain.

"No, this is obviously a trick of some sort! A trap!" Tetra said.

"Why do you think that?!?" Alex asked, confused.

"Alex Jones is dead!" Tetra remarked.

"WHAT? No, I'm quite obviously ali- ... wait, what year is this?" Alex questioned.

"2020." Tetra said, wondering what he was getting at.

"... Ohhh no." Alex said, shaking his head.

Tetra sent a sonic wave blast at his chest.

"AHHHH!" Alex screamed.

"Get to the point!" Tetra yelled.

"I AM Alex Jones! But... from 2017." Alex stated.

Tetra still looked unconvinced.

"How?" Tetra asked.

"The Ice Queen sent me and my team into a portal through time. Well, forced us through, more like it." Alex said.

"In my version of history, the Ice Queen - now the Ice Empress, killed you and the rest of Team SpongeBob." Tetra said.

"Are you serious?" Alex asked.

"Dead." Tetra said.

After a few moments, Tetra took Alex into the lounge room.

The 2020 versions of Larry the Lobster and Tomoya Chrome appeared.

"Have you confirmed this man's identity?" Larry asked.

"This is Alex Jones. From 2017." Tetra said.

"He died." Tomoya said.

"The kid is from another timeline." Tetra said.

"One where me, SpongeBob, Sandy, and Pearl were forced through a freaking time portal. But, they don't seem to have landed here." Alex said.

"Are you sure?" Tomoya asked.

"Yeah, for the most part." Alex said.

"Tetra, what if this is the sign we've been looking for." Tomoya said.

"Tomoya, stop it! Stop it with the false prophets!" Tetra said.

"What does he mean?" Alex asked.

"We've been debating taking more direct action." Larry said.

"Against the Ice Queen?" Alex asked.

"Ice Empress, now." Tetra reminded him.

"Whoa... what the hell happens in the future?" Alex asked.

"You're gonna need a drink for this." Tomoya said, getting a bottled water out of a mini fridge.

Tomoya tossed it to Alex.

Alex took a sip.

"After Victoria murdered Team SpongeBob, she used the dark jewel to possess the military. She turned them into her henchmen. Together, she, the military, and the rest of E.V.I.L overthrew the island government." Tetra began.

"It was a blood bath. A literal war erupting all over Karate Island." Larry continued.

"A few heroes and citizens went into hiding, but more than half of the island is imprisoned in the Iceboxes." Tomoya ended.

"Iceboxes?" Alex questioned.

"Victoria's special idea for prisons - or concentration camps. When people are captured, they are cryogenically frozen in these huge ice chambers." Tetra said.

"... So, almost everyone on the island has been put into these things???" Alex questioned, horrified.

"Yes." Tetra said, taking a moment of silence.

"Why haven't you guys taken action before?" Alex asked.

"You think we haven't done anything? Me, Larry, and Tomoya came together and formed the new Team SpongeBob. We save people when we can, and get them to underground bases. But, we always keep running and keep hiding." Tetra said.

"So, you guys have carried on the mantle of Team SpongeBob..." Alex realized.

"Someone had to." Tetra stated.

"Tetra's kind of right. As much as I hate to admit. Victoria's power is massive. Not to mention she's armed her possessed followers with cold guns. Getting striked one good time by those things can sometimes lead to a dangerous, frosty death." Larry said.

"We're getting a transmission, guys." Tomoya said, walking over to the large transmission screen.

"How is Victoria and her forces not catching you guys through these channels?" Alex asked.

"I scramble the electromagnetic waves emitted by our channels through use of my powers. I literally make us undetectable." Tetra told him.

"Ahh, that makes sense." Alex said.

Tomoya turned on the transmission, as a man was shown on the screen.

"Bindie, what's up?" Tetra asked.

"Team SpongeBob, good to see that you're alive another day. Is that the kid you saved?" Bindie questioned.

"Yes. He's from another timeline." Tetra revealed.

"Lightning." Bindie recognized.

"Hi!" Alex waved.

"Bindie, you called for a reason." Larry said.

"My group has found out Victoria's next move - and final one." Bindie said.

"I don't understand. What does that mean?" Larry asked.

"The Ice Empress is ready for mass extinction across the island." Bindie told them.

"How the hell will she accomplish this?" Tetra asked.

"I imagine she has a doomsday weapon." Tomoya guessed.

"You'd be right. From what we hacked, it's appears that Victoria and her allies have created an ice nuke. When this bomb drops, it will release enough cryogenic energy to frost anything in it's path to death. There will be no place safe from the effects of this." Bindie revealed.

"Then let's leave this island! Bust the hell out!" Alex said. 

"... He doesn't... he doesn't know?" Bindie asked.

"Know what?" Alex asked.

"Alex... there's a massive dark energy barrier around Karate Island. No one can get in and no one can get out." Tetra told him.

"That's why no help has come for this place." Alex realized.

"Exactly. We're on our own." Tomoya stated.

"And if we don't wanna die, we have end this not by running, but by fighting." Bindie said.

"Likely to our deaths... either way." Larry added.

"What do you need us to do, Bindie?" Tetra asked.

"You need to stop the launch." Bindie said.

"Do you have any idea where the launch site is?" Tomoya asked.

"No, but I know how you can find out." Bindie said.

"Don't tell me..." Tetra started.

"A dissenter in an Icicle. We'll forward you his location. Transmission over." Bindie said, ending the live feed transmission.

"What's a dissenter? And what's an Icicle?" Alex questioned.

"An Icicle is a small, controlled town where some people have been allowed to live." Tetra said.

"These people aren't actually free. They do slave work for the Ice Empress and her regime." Larry said.

"These people would be in an Icebox if Victoria didn't need slaves to produce things on the island for her, the soldiers, and E.V.I.L." Tomoya added.

"That's awful." Alex said.

"A dissenter is a person from one of these towns who sneaks information to underground forces, like us. Personally, we hate meeting with one, because of the dangers it poses." Tetra said.

"Icicles are guarded by dozens of soldiers, aren't they?" Alex asked.

"Yes." Tetra confirmed.

"I wanna help you guys." Alex said.

"No, we couldn't ask you to fight a battle you don't belong in." Tetra said.

"I'm here now, so this IS my battle. I'm a member of Team SpongeBob. Anywhere I go... helping people is my priority. I don't just chase justice, I stalk it." Alex told them.

Tetra, Tomoya, and Larry looked at each other.

"Alright, if you're sure." Larry said.

"100%." Alex said.

The screen beeped, as Tomoya walked back over to it.

"We have the location of the dissenter. He lives in an outpost by Left Shore." Tomoya revealed.

"My old stomping grounds..." Tetra said.

"Let's do this." Tomoya said.

---

Pub, Left Shore

Tetra, Alex, Tomoya, and Larry enter a pub on the outskirts of Left Shore. 

The four are dressed in striped pajama-looking outfits.

"Remind me why we had to wear these, uh, scraps?" Alex asked.

"Shhh!" Tetra shushed him.

"These are what the locals inside Icicles wear." Tomoya whispered.

The pub was bustling with Left Shore locals, as the four made their way to a back corner.

A man was seen waiting for them.

"TS?" the man asked.

"Indeed." Tetra said.

"Take a seat. Got us four drinks. Sorry, didn't know there was going to be an extra person." the man said.

"It's okay. This man kind of... dropped into our orbit a few hours ago." Larry said.

Larry, Tetra, Tomoya, and Alex took a seat.

"I'm Tom, by the way." Tom said to them.

"Hello, Tom." Tetra greeted.

"Well, at the very least you guys get to have a pub here." Alex whispered.

"Life in an Icicle is no walk in the park. Where did you guys find this kid?" Tom asked.

"Sorry. He's really not from around here." Tetra emphasized.

"Yeah, every Icicle has a pub. They designate one little area where we can let 'loose' after hours and hours of labor. But, the beer sucks, and the only thing close to appealing food is the canned beans special." Tom revealed to Alex.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Alex said.

"That's quite alright." Tom said.

"Tom, we're here because you have some information of use to us." Tetra said.

"Right. The launch site for the ice nuke." Tom said.

"How'd you find out about it?" Larry questioned.

"Got in good with a few soldiers. One in particular was nice enough to warn me of my forthcoming death. Unless of course... it can be prevented." Tom said.

"Where's the launch site?" Tetra questioned.

"Higgins Road near Mainland." Tom whispered.

Tom pulled out a detailed map out of his pocket.

"Take this, and study it." Tom said, slipping it to Tetra.

"Thank you. We'll do everything we can." Tetra said.

As the four got up to leave, they were approached by a tough-looking buff guy.

"Do you know who I am?" the guy asked.

"No, and I really don't want to." Tetra said.

"Tanner Holtz. Top worker here in Left Shore." Tanner said.

"You mean slave." Alex corrected.

".. Excuse me, boy?" Tanner asked.

"What is your problem?" Larry asked.

"My problem? I like to make sure everything runs smoothly here. That no dissenters or criminals mess up what little of a life we have left here." Tanner remarked.

"What's that got to do with us?" Tetra questioned.

"I've never seen the four of you around." Tanner stated.

"Of course they're around. I mean... why wouldn't they be?" Tom asked, jumping into it.

"We'll see what the ice patrol has to say about it." Tom threatened, talking about the soldiers.

A few other guys surrounded Tom.

"You don't wanna do this." Larry stated.

"Beat em down!" Tom yelled.

Tetra sent a vibration blast at Tom, pushing him into an old jukebox.

Larry used his super strength to punch out some of the guys.

One of the guys attempted to strike Tomoya with a bat.

Tomoya grabbed the base of the bat, using his powers to frost it.

Alex immediately shot down the guy with a lightning blast.

"Thanks." Tomoya said.

"WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Tetra yelled, as the entire pub turned their attention toward them.

The four ran.

----

Ice Empress's Castle, Mainland

The 2020 version of Victoria is seen in her throne room.

The entire room was made out of ice, with dozens of marble sculptures.

The 2020 version of Clarissa Clam entered the room.

"Victoria, there's something you should know." Clarissa said, walking in.

"Clarissa, I'm busy shining my trident. Come back in an hour." Victoria said, shining the scepter containing the jewels.

"It is always so damn cold in here!" Clarissa said, shivering.

"Like I said - come back later." Victoria said, frustrated.

"This can't wait." Clarissa said.

"Clarissa, you should be getting the transport sector ready. We'll need to be off the island by tomorrow morning.

"All of that is being taken care of." Clarissa said.

"Then what is the problem?" Victoria asked.

"An incident on Left Shore. A fight broke out in a pub." Clarissa said.

"What's new? That occurs almost every week." Victoria said.

"It's suspected that the brawlers were the new Team SpongeBob." Clarissa revealed.

"You mean that pathetic ragtag group of criminals involving Tetra King and my offspring." Victoria said.

"What if they know? About the ice nuke?" Clarissa asked.

"I'll personally visit the launch site and make sure nothing's amiss." Victoria assured her.

"Are you taking the scepter?" Clarissa questioned.

"No. I don't need the Divine Jewels to deal with anyone." Victoria remarked, smirking.

"Your ice powers have increased under the influence of those there jewels." Clarissa said.

"Exactly." Victoria said.

"I wanna come with you." Clarissa said.

"Fine." Victoria agreed.

----

Launch Site, Higgins Road, Mainland

At the launch site, a myriad of soldiers are seen patrolling the grounds.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake and rumble.

All the soldiers stopped and looked at eachother, having an idea of what was happening.

At that moment, the ground ripped open, as Tetra jumped out.

"KILL HER!" one of the soldiers said.

As the soldiers raise their ice guns, Tetra shoots out vibrational blasts.

Larry, Alex, and Tomoya also arrive from underground.

"Travelling underground. New experience for me." Alex said, shooting lightning blasts.

"ALEX, GET TO THE POWER GRID!" Tetra yelled.

"....UHHH, WHERE IS THAT?" Alex asked.

"Follow me!" Tomoya said, shooting icy gusts.

"Tetra, take out the watch tower!" Larry said, using his super strength to run down soldiers.

Tetra blasts a vibration blast at the watch tower, completely destroying it.

Tomoya and Alex eventually reached the power grids.

"If you use your power to fry these, the launch of the ice nuke can't happen." Tomoya said.

"I'll do what I can!" Alex said.

At that moment, Alex was stabbed by an icicle.

"ALEX!" Tomoya screamed, turning around.

Victoria appeared, coming face to face with her son.

"Victoria." Tomoya said, looking into her eyes.

"Your disobedience stops here, Tomoya." Victoria said.

Tomoya chuckled a little.

"That's the first time you've ever referred to me in a motherly way." Tomoya stated.

"I am not your mother. She died long ago." Victoria said.

"That's what you keep telling me, but somehow I refuse to believe it!" Tomoya said.

"Mothers don't kill their children!" Victoria shouted, shooting icicles at Tomoya.

Tomoya put up an ice wall, blocking the icicles.

Victoria caused the wall to shatter, pushing Tomoya back.

Tomoya jumped up, shooting an icy gust at Victoria.

Victoria avoided this strike, shooting ice at his feet.

Tomoya jumped out of the way, shooting another icy gust, striking Victoria across the field.

Victoria tapped deep into her abilities, shooting out a cold energy beam.

Tomoya quickly did the same, as their beams clashed with each other.

"We played out this scenario before! In 2016! I won." Victoria said, pushing back at him.

Tomoya tried to hold up his beam, struggling to keep pushing forward.

"You are weak! You do not deserve to bear my blood!" Victoria said, increasing her power load.

Tomoya screamed in agony, as Victoria's ice beam overcame him.

"I'm gonna kill you." Victoria said, walking over to his body.

Tomoya's body laid on the ground, as Victoria formed a giant icicle.

"Goodbye, my son." Victoria teased.

Before she could stab him, a sonic scream pierced Victoria's ears.

"AHHH!" Victoria screamed, dropping the icicle.

Victoria turned around, seeing that it was Clarissa.

"Cla-rissa...? You used your Clam Cry against me?" Victoria asked, dazed and confused.

"I've been waiting years for an opportunity like this. I won't let you continue with your plan for world domination. I won't let you continue to murder people." Clarissa said.

"YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT BY MY SIDE THIS WHOLE TIME!" Victoria yelled.

"And I HATED EVERY MINUTE!" Clarissa yelled.

Victoria revved up her powers.

Clarissa quickly shot out another Clam Cry, blasting Victoria into the ground.

Tomoya sat up.

"... I can't believe this." Tomoya said.

"Your friend's bleeding out." Clarissa said, pointing to Alex.

"ALEX!" Tomoya yelled, getting up.

Tomoya ran by Alex's side on the ground.

"To-moya... " Alex said, coughing up blood.

"I got you, man." Tomoya said, pulling out the icicle.

Tomoya used his powers to ice Alex's wound. 

"You're gonna make it!" Tomoya told him, smiling.

At that moment, a portal opened up.

"What is that?" Clarissa asked.

Debbie jumped out.

"ALEX! NOOO!" Debbie yelled.

"Debbie! I'm fine!" Alex said, slowly rising.

"Take it easy, Alex." Tomoya said.

"The Universal Guardian? Impossible." Clarissa said.

"I'm from another timeline. Alex is too." Debbie said.

"It's nice to see you again, Debbie." Tomoya said, helping Alex stand.

"Tomoya." Debbie said, warmly.

Tomoya and Debbie hug.

"Alex, are you alright?" Debbie asked, touching his chest.

"I'm good." Alex said.

Debbie hugged Alex.

"Guys, we need these power grids." Tomoya said.

"I got it!" Debbie said.

"Me too." Clarissa said.

Debbie shot multiple energy beams at the grids, as Clarissa handled the rest with her Clam Cry.

"It's over..." Alex said.

"No... not completely." Alex said.

"But it can be now." a voice was heard.

Tetra was seen walking toward them, with Larry behind her.

"Who took down Victoria?" Larry asked.

"Me." Clarissa said.

"You've betrayed her?" Tetra asked.

"Didn't wanna see the world end." Clarissa said, simply.

"The world is not gonna end, because me and Alex are going back to 2017 to prevent all of this from ever occuring." Debbie stated.

"It's really you." Tetra said, with weary eyes.

"Tetra, I'm gonna fix this." Debbie told her.

"I believe you. Tomoya, you were right." Tetra said, looking at him.

"About what?" Tomoya asked.

"The prophet." Tetra said.

Tomoya gave her a warm smile.

"Until this future changes, we'll do what we can to fix it on our own. Our esteemed leader will make sure of that." Larry said, smiling at Tetra.

"Taking the Ice Empress hostage should be a good start." Clarissa said.

Debbie nodded.

"Good luck. And soon enough, you'll all wake up to a better future. This will have just been a bad dream that you'll never remember." Debbie promised.

Debbie opened the portal back to 2017.

"Goodbye, Alex." Tetra said.

"Hang in there." Alex told them, waving goodbye.

Alex and Debbie stepped through the portal.

Patel Reef, Karate Island

"ALEX!" Aria cheered, seeing them come back through the portal.

The team all rushes to hug him.

"Wow, you guys really missed me!" Alex said.

"Of course. You're our family." Linda said, squeezing his arm.

"It's been a short time, but... we all have become somewhat of a dysfunctional family." Sandy joked.

"Hey, we just got three of the divine jewels back, survived time travel, AND sent E.V.I.L home with their fins between their legs! I'd say we're pretty functional." SpongeBob remarked, proudly.

"Alex, where did you end up?" Pearl asked.

"2020." Alex said.

"The future..." Pearl said.

"What happened?" SpongeBob asked.

"Nothing good. I'll fill you guys in on the way back to the base." Alex said.

"Meanwhile, I think I know the name James Knox." SpongeBob said.

"The guy from 1983?" Linda asked.

"Sandy... who did he look like." SpongeBob asked.

"I... I didn't think anything of it." Sandy remarked.

"That was the younger version of the Volcano Lord." SpongeBob said.

"It's strange to think that where we all ended up in time... strongly related to our team's history." Sandy said.

"Or that Aria and Debbie here might've caused it in the first place." Pearl said.

"This team was meant to be formed. At least that's what I got out of all of this." Aria said.

"Well, we have three of the jewels. The last one is still out there. We should get back to the base and rest up." Debbie told them. 

"Debbie's right. Let's go." Linda said.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

Team SpongeBob arrived inside the base.

"Home sweet home! I'm taking a nap forever!" Alex said, yawning and stretching out his arms. 

The team stopped, seeing a man standing before them.

"HOLD!" SpongeBob yelled.

The man was Greg Payne.

"No worries, it's just me." Payne said.

"Director Payne." SpongeBob said.

"The new F.I.N Director?" Sandy asked.

"What the HELL are you doing here?" Linda asked.

"No need to be hostile. Just dropping something off for all of you." Payne said.

"GUYS!" a voice called out.

Bonnie was seen coming from the corridor.

"Don't worry, I accompanied him to make sure he behaved himself." Bonnie teased him.

"She's funny, isn't she?" Payne asked.

"Bonnie, what is he doing here? What does he have for us?" SpongeBob asked.

"I think you should go to the lounge, SpongeBob. I think you'll like what you find." Bonnie said, raising her eyebrows.

The team looked at each other.

Linda squeezed his hand, prompting a look from Sandy.

"Go." Linda said, nodding.

SpongeBob went to the base's lounge room, seeing a man standing with his back turned.

The man turned around, revealing himself to be Squidward.

"...." SpongeBob was speechless and wide eyed.

"Hi, SpongeBob." Squidward said, with a slight smile.

NOTES:

  • Alex winds up in a dystopian version of Karate Island circa 2020.
  • A new Team SpongeBob has formed in this alternate timeline, consisting of Tetra/Tremors (leader), Larry, and Tomoya/Cold Reef. The members of the original team are said to be deceased.
  • Bindie, a minor recurring character last appearing in Season 2, makes a return in the alternate future as a member of an underground resistance.
  • Clarissa betrays Victoria in the alternate future, and helps prevent the launch of an 'ice nuke'.

Ep.161 "The Fallen"

Team SpongeBob HQ

"... Squidward?" SpongeBob asked, racing over to hug him.

"Yeah, I'm still not a hugger." Squidward said, as SpongeBob let go.

"How is... how is this possible?" SpongeBob asked, with a tear dropping out of his eye.

"You know what they say. Can't keep a good man down." Squidward joked.

"You went into a cryogenic coma. You sacrificed yourself to save everyone from the Ice Queen." SpongeBob said, wiping his tears.

"Yeah, I remember." Squidward said.

"Sit, sit." SpongeBob said, as they both sat on the couch.

"It's... 2017, I heard." Squidward said.

"Squidward, we tried everything. I promise you. Shin tried all kinds of spells, Sandy produced all kinds of serums. Nothing ever worked." SpongeBob said, emotionally.

"Well, something did work finally. I mean, I'm awake." Squidward said.

"It must of took long term for something to kick in." SpongeBob said, in deep thought.

"It doesn't matter how. I'm just glad to be back. When i awoken... these people, F.I.N, helped me get here." Squidward said.

"Yeaaah, we have an HQ now. Not too shabby, right?" SpongeBob asked, laughing.

"Much better than camping out in the woods." Squidward referenced.

"Ah, the good ole days." SpongeBob joked.

"They weren't all good. For me." Squidward said.

"You initially betrayed us for the Ice Queen, I remember." SpongeBob said.

"I didn't just betray you guys... I was a mole. I fed her information, I helped her almost take over the island." Squidward said.

"Yeah, speaking of that..." SpongeBob said.

"What?" Squidward questioned.

At that moment, Linda and Sandy entered the lounge.

"Oh my god, Squidward..." Linda said, shocked beyond belief.

"Just when our lives couldn't get weirder." Sandy quipped.

Squidward stood up.

"Hello, Linda and Sandy." Squidward greeted.

"We never thought you'd wake up." Sandy said, shaking her head.

"To me it feels like just yesterday. But, it's been... seven years." Squidward said, awkwardly.

"Do you still have your powers?" Linda asked.

"The telepathy is gone. It was a temporary fix back then anyway." Squidward said.

"Right." Linda said.

"Squid, you betrayed us. It's been years, but that scar still cuts deep in this team. Especially considering what we're dealing with today." Sandy said.

"I can't apologize enough." Squidward said.

"Hey, he redeemed himself when he sacrificed his life to stop Victoria." Linda said to Sandy.

"It doesn't change what I did though. It never will." Squidward said.

"Well, like I said. It's been years. I have long forgiven you." Sandy said, nodding.

"Really? You? The queen of grudges?" Linda playfully teased.

"Hey, Light-tits, I've matured over the years." Sandy teased back.

"Mostly." Linda said, squeezing her arm and giving her a warm smile.

"SpongeBob implied something before, and you did just now. What's happening on the island?" Squidward asked.

"She's back." SpongeBob said, standing by Sandy and Linda now.

"Victoria?" Squidward asked.

"It's a long, long story, but she came back, clawed her way to great power, and almost destroyed this team." Sandy said.

"Luckily, we dealt her a massive blow just recently." Linda said.

"Well, that's good." Squidward remarked.

"So, what will you do now?" Linda asked.

Squidward sighed, in deep thought.

"Take my life back. I guess that starts with returning to Bikini Bottom. How's that place been?" Squidward asked.

"Just fine." SpongeBob said, nodding.

"We should go see if Payne left." Sandy said.

"Yeah." Linda agreed.

Sandy and Linda exited the lounge.

"Take care of yourself, Squiddy." SpongeBob said.

"You the same. Can't believe I'm saying that. Being comatose must of really humbled me. Yuck." Squidward said.

SpongeBob laughed.

"You coming?" SpongeBob asked, heading out of the lounge.

"I just need a minute." Squidward said.

"Okay." SpongeBob said, flashing him a smile.

At the entrance, Payne and Bonnie were still with the rest of the team.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, Payne... you can leave." Debbie said.

"Actually..." Payne hinted.

Several F.I.N agents come running into the base with guns.

Debbie, Alex, Pearl, and Aria turned around, seeing them.

"HEY! You said you wouldn't do this crap!" Bonnie yelled at Payne.

"What the hell, man?" Alex questioned.

"Hand over the Divine Jewels you collected from Victoria, and no one has to get hurt." Payne said.

"No!" Debbie said, fiercely.

SpongeBob speeded into the room, knocking Payne down. He then speeded around the F.I.N agents, collecting their guns.

"Not so bad without those." SpongeBob said, dropping them to the floor.

Linda and Sandy arrived to see what was happening.

Payne lifted himself up.

"GET OUT and don't come back." SpongeBob said.

"We're going to the Board of Trustees with this, rest assure. Those jewels need to be in F.I.N containment." Payne said, stubbornly.

"No, they're safe with us." Debbie said.

"That isn't true. History shows that isn't true." Payne said, walking over to his agents.

"Lets go. BONNIE, are you coming?" Payne asked, walking out.

The agents followed him.

"Why do you still work for F.I.N?" Sandy asked.

"I ask myself that everyday." Bonnie said, following after her team.

"I'll make sure to lock after them." Aria said, following them.

"Alright, we're going to put the jewels in the HQ's lock-up." Linda announced.

"Why? They're perfectly safe with me." Debbie said.

"Those jewels are too much power for anyone." SpongeBob said.

"Especially the time one." Linda said.

"Yeah, just let them do what they need to do." Sandy said to Debbie.

"Alright." Debbie said, handing over the Time, Dark, and Power jewels.

SpongeBob and Linda walked them down to lock up.

About an hour later, Aria was seen in the base's newly erected memorial room.

The room contained statues of fallen heroes that were a part of the team.

Shin, Patrick, and Squidward were some of the statues erected.

"I guess the Squidward one needs to come down." SpongeBob said.

"... Oh, I thought I was alone." Aria said.

"I saw you come down about fifteen minutes ago. Wanted to make sure you were alright." SpongeBob said.

"How is he?" Aria asked.

"Adjusting. He just left for his flight back to Bikini Bottom." SpongeBob told her.

"I'm glad you got your friend back." Aria said.

"Thanks. But, not all of them." SpongeBob said.

Both of them stared at Shin's statue.

"Debbie told me you got to see him one last time." SpongeBob said.

"I erased his memory, so... everything's the way it should be." Aria said.

"I know that was hard. I would give anything to have Shin back. Or Patrick, or the kids from the subgroup, or... just any other ally we've lost." SpongeBob said, emotionally.

Aria looked at him.

"This team has had a lot of that. Loss." SpongeBob reiterated.

"Not in vain, though. Shin was a hero. He would be proud that I'm one." Aria said.

"Finally, some progress. Seeing the past Shin must of been really theraputic for you?" SpongeBob inquired.

"Yeah." Aria said, smiling.

"Shin was always my rock. Now he's... literally my rock." SpongeBob joked about the statue.

Aria giggled.

"Hey, Debbie and Pearl are going to the newly opened Goofy Goobers ice cream shop. Alex too, I think. Wanna join?" Aria asked.

"Nah, not now." SpongeBob said, in deep thought.

"Aight, well I'm gonna go." Aria said, heading out.

Aria paused.

"... Sponge?" Aria asked.

"Huh?" SpongeBob said, coming out of his thoughts.

"You okay?" Aria asked.

"Yeah, just thinking about something..." SpongeBob said.

"Alright, see ya later." Aria said, leaving out.

----

Goofy Goobers Ice Cream Shop, Mainland

Pearl and Alex are seen at a table, sitting across from each other.

The waitress drops off their ice cream.

"Thank you." Alex said.

"Triple fudge sundaes. Our bodies are not gonna forgive us for this." Pearl joked, digging in.

"Hey, we deserve it after being sent through time." Alex said.

"How about that, right? I mean, you ended up in a dystopia." Pearl said.

"I would of much more enjoyed 1983, just sayin'." Alex replied.

"Yeah, well that was no walk in park. Try taking on a woman with the power to control the weather." Pearl said.

"Try taking on an entire island of cold gun-possessing soldiers." Alex rebutted.

"Touché." Pearl said.

Debbie and Aria sat at a counter top.

"What exactly did you order?" Debbie asked, laughing.

"It's called a Triple Gooberberry Sunrise." Aria said, smiling.

 

Image result for Triple Gooberberry Sunrise

"All those bananas sticking in it, though." Debbie said, continuing to laugh.

"That's what she said." Aria joked, making Debbie squirt out her milkshake.

"Why just a milkshake?" Debbie asked.

"After all the craziness, I just wanted something simple in life. Doesn't get much simpler than a creamy milkshake." Debbie said, touching the cream with her fingers.

Debbie put a dot of cream on Aria's nose.

"Hey!" Aria said.

"Sorry, sorry, I got it!" Debbie said, wiping the cream off her nose and licking it off her finger.

"You really like cream, don't you?" Aria asked, laughing.

"My pancakes aren't complete without it." Debbie said, smiling.

Aria nodded.

"Hey, I just wanted to commend you for a job well done when we were in 2010." Debbie said.

"Thanks. We make quite the team, don't we?" Aria asked, blushing.

"Yeah. I'm... really glad we became closer." Debbie said. 

"Do you mean that?" Aria asked.

"Of course." Debbie said.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

Sandy approached Linda in the mission room.

"Hey, revving up the search for the final jewel already?" Sandy asked.

"Yup. Resetting the parameters for the drones. Hopefully we get another ping soon." Linda said.

"I hate that E.V.I.L is even still out there." Sandy said.

"Yeah, but Debbie had a choice. Taking them to prison or finding us through time." Linda replied.

"She chose with the heart." Sandy said.

"Don't we all." Linda said.

"Against better judgement." Sandy replied.

"Very true." Linda agreed.

SpongeBob soon entered the room.

"Guys! I have a surprise for you." SpongeBob said.

"... Okay, what?" Sandy asked.

Patrick Star walked into the room.

Sandy and Linda's minds were blown.

"Hey guys. I feel like I just saw you." Patrick said, joking.

"Spon-SpongeBob, can we talk in the hall?" Sandy said, emotional.

"Yeah." SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob, Sandy, and Linda stepped into the hall.

"SpongeBob, WHAT THE HELL?" Sandy yelled, in a whisper.

"What have you done?" Linda asked.

"I used the time jewel to bring a version of Patrick from 2016." SponegBob told them.

Both of them face palmed.

"Why would you do something so stupid?" Sandy asked.

"We put the jewels in lock up for a reason! You abused your status as a leader." Linda said.

"After seeing Squidward, I just... I thought it'd be therapeutic to see Patrick. Say what we wanted to say, but couldn't. Wrap up those lose ends. Aria can erase his memory like she did with Shin when she was in 2010." SpongeBob explained.

"SpongeBob, stealing people from the past to use as emotional dummies to vent our feelings on... it's wrong." Sandy said.

"I have never agreed with Sandy more. Literally." Linda said.

"What's done is done. Who wants to be the first to talk to him?" SpongeBob asked.

Linda and Sandy both looked at each other, unsure.

----

Goofy Goobers Ice Cream Shop

Debbie and Aria are seen leaving the shop through the back exit, coming out into a back alley.

"I can't believe Alex and Pearl are still eating." Aria said.

"Because they ordered seconds. And those triple fudge sundaes are much larger than... whatever you had." Debbie said, with a laugh.

"Triple Gooberberry Sunri- "

" - Yeah, yeah, yeah." Debbie cut her off, making them both laugh.

"I don't know what it is, but... when I'm around you, I feel so light." Aria said.

"Aww, I'm glad to be a positive presence." Debbie said, happily.

At that moment, Aria kissed Debbie.

Debbie stepped back.

"Whoa, what are you doing?" Debbie asked.

"I'm... I'm so sorry. I thought I was reading signs or whatever." Aria said, embarrassed.

"Wait, you like me?" Debbie asked.

"It just kinda happened." Aria said, distressed.

"Hey, I'm cool with it. I'm just not into girls, so..." Debbie stated.

"Oh, well that sucks." Aria said, disappointed.

"Umm, plus there's Alex. Your best friend and my ex-boyfriend?" Debbie reminded her.

"Crap. I didn't think any of this through, did I?" Aria questioned.

"It's totally natural to like someone. Even if they dated your best friend." Debbie said.

"So, we can keep this between us?" Aria asked.

"Yeah, no reason Alex needs to know about it." Debbie said, giving her a hug.

"Excuse me!" a woman's voice was heard.

Aria and Debbie turned to see a woman in a purple robe walking towards them.

"Aria Alamone, correct?" the woman asked.

"Uh, yes. I'm sorry, but who are you?" Aria questioned.

"My name is Duma - and I was a friend of your mother's." Duma revealed.

Aria looked stunned.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

In the lounge, Linda and Patrick sat on the couch together.

"It's so good to see you, Pat." Linda said, grasping his hand.

"Thanks. I guess it's good to be seen." Patrick said, smiling.

"Behind that smile, I know how you must feel." Linda said.

Patrick stood up to get a drink.

Linda followed him over to the counter.

"It was wrong of SpongeBob to pull you from the past. Or to tell you about your death." Linda said.

"Agreed. Though, it seems like he wasn't thinking clearly. I know him, Lind. He's traumatized." Patrick said.

"We've been through a lot of things since you and Shin died. Hell, everything over the last seven years has been hard. It's finally catching up to us. Our past." Linda remarked.

"It looks like you've held up good." Patrick said, looking at her.

"I'm as much as a work in progress as everyone else." Linda said.

"SpongeBob told me that you and him are co-leaders. Big step for you." Patrick said.

"I did change a lot. I've somehow become hardened." Linda said, with a giggle. "Me, right?" Linda quipped.

"You were always the strongest part of this team." Patrick said, with a smile.

"Because of my awesome and destructive light powers?" Linda asked, jokingly.

"Because of your heart." Patrick responded.

"Yeah, well I don't wear it on my sleeve too often anymore." Linda said.

"Nothing wrong with doing that." Patrick reassured her.

Linda and Patrick hugged.

----

Goofy Goobers Ice Cream Shop

Pearl and Alex exit the shop into the back alley.

"Everything alright out here?" Pearl asked.

"This woman says she knew my mother." Aria told them.

"Do you not believe me?" Duma asked.

"My mother didn't have friends, she had associates." Aria said.

"Mystical associates - of which I was one." Duma said, waving her arms over her robe.

"You're a fellow sorceress." Aria said.

"Yes. I've been trying to track you down, but you hardly ever come out in public." Duma said.

"So to speak..." Debbie quipped.

"What do you want with Aria?" Alex asked.

"Yeah... cause if it's anything bad, she has a whole posse by her side." Pearl said, standing by her.

"Uh, Pearl... you don't even have your bow and arrows." Alex said.

"Oh shush, I'm still a capable fighter!" Pearl yapped at him.

"Not here to fight. In fact, I don't want anything at all from Aria." Duma said.

"What do you want?" Aria asked.

"To give you this..." Duma said, pulling out a small box.

"Oooh, is there jewelery inside?" Debbie questioned.

"A key." Aria said, lifting the top open.

"When I heard of your mother's death, I knew I had to get that to you someday." Duma said.

"What does this key open?" Debbie asked.

"A large storage house in the woods near the Mystic Caves." Duma said.

"Below the mountains?" Aria asked.

"Yes." Duma said.

"This storage house belonged to Azarah?" Debbie questioned.

"She never told me about it." Aria said.

"She kept it private. She entrusted me to keep it tidy and in good condition over the years." Duma said."

"Why was she so secretive about it?" Pearl asked.

"It contained family heirlooms - of the Alamone Clan, going back several generations." Duma revealed.

"She didn't want my father to have them." Aria pieced together.

"She was protective of the heirlooms. In part because of the power they possessed. Conquess perverted everything she ever shared with him." Duma said.

"In the end, he drove her to a similar path." Aria said, regretfully.

"I just thought you should have it. So that the heirlooms wouldn't be lost to time. So that they could live on through another Alamone child." Duma said.

"Thank you, Duma." Aria said.

Duma handed her a slip of paper.

"Directions. Good luck." Duma said, walking off.

The four watched as she disappeared into a shadow.

"Witches are weird, man." Alex said.

Aria stared at him.

"OH, in the best way possible." Alex assured her.

"Are you going to check out this storage house?" Debbie asked Aria.

"I feel like I should." Aria said, thinking it over.

"Then I'm coming with." Debbie said, touching her arm.

"Me too." Alex said, smiling at her.

"Thanks guys. What about you, Pearl?" Aria asked.

"Unfortunately, that ice cream did me in. I think I need to get back to the base and lie down for a bit. But, lemme know what you guys find there." Pearl said.

"Alright." Aria said, staring back down at the key.

----

Mainland National Park, Mainland

Sandy and Patrick were seen taking a stroll through the park.

"This reminds me of our walks through the park back when we were together." Patrick said.

"Yeah. I ruined that, didn't I?" Sandy inquired, beating herself up.

"Hey, come on. Don't beat yourself up." Patrick said.

"But I have been. Ever since you died." Sandy said.

"SpongeBob hasn't told me much about my death, but I definitely know that you didn't cause it." Patrick said.

"No, I didn't. But... I put you through a great deal of emotional pain before it happened." Sandy said.

"I forgave you for the cheating." Patrick said.

"Doens't make me feel any less awful." Sandy said.

"I suppose it doesn't. Do you... do you love him?" Patrick asked.

Sandy looked at him, nearing tears.

"Yes. I am in love with SpongeBob." Sandy said.

"That's quite alright." Patrick said, chuckling a bit.

"That doesn't take away from what I felt about you. Patrick, you showed me what love was. You helped me understand what was important in a relationship." Sandy told him.

Patrick nodded.

"Remember when I was blind for a few weeks?" Patrick asked.

"Very early in our relationship." Sandy said.

"It was the love I had for you that allowed me to see. Now it's that same love I feel for you, and for SpongeBob, and for the team that is allowing me to accept my fate. To see that light at the end of the tunnel." Patrick told her.

Sandy smiled, holding his hand.

"So, Sandy... I want you to remember that love is the most powerful thing in this world. Whatever you guys are facing right now, let love guide you through it." Patrick told her.

Sandy kissed Patrick.

"I will." Sandy said, as they put their foreheads together. 

----

Below the Mystic Caves, we see Aria, Debbie, and Alex coming up toward a storage house.

"This is it." Alex said, reading a map.

"There's no doorknob." Debbie said.

"But there's some kind of identifier." Debbie said, seeing a black touch-scan device on the door.

Aria touched the device, as it seemed to scan her magical imprint.

The door opened.

"Well... that was creepy." Alex said.

"Not creepy - magic." Debbie said.

Aria, Debbie, and Alex entered.

They saw all kinds of items, such as globes, dancing brooms, and colorful carpets.

"I can't believe those brooms are moving..." Debbie said.

"In reaction to me. They're activated by sorcerers coming in their vicinity." Aria said, interested.

"Oh, like a motion sensor. Wicked!" Debbie said.

"Your mother had awesome taste in carpets! I wonder how they feel." Alex said, taking his shoes off.

"ALEX, WAIT!" Aria yelled.

Alex walked on the carpet, as it floated itself and him off the floor.

"WHOA!" Alex said.

"... Yeah." Aria said.

"A flying carpet. That is SO coming back to the base with us!" Debbie said, excitedly.

"I'm not sure any of this stuff should leave here. My mother's evil essence is on them." Aria said, sadly.

"Well, it's your choice." Debbie said, rubbing her arm.

"But, seriously... consider taking this carpet!" Alex said, still floating on it.

Debbie and Aria shook their heads, laughing.

Team SpongeBob HQ

Patrick enters the mission room, as SpongeBob stops what he's doing.

"Hey, you're back." SpongeBob said.

"Me and Sandy had a long talk in the park." Patrick said.

"Yeah, I know. I'm glad she could speak with you again." SpongeBob said.

Patrick nodded.

"I'm selfish, aren't I?" SpongeBob asked, shedding tears.

"Stop, stop. You were a bit impulsive, but I know you're hurting." Patrick said.

"I'm fine." SpongeBob said, wiping his tears.

"SpongeBob, I know you." Patrick said, grabbing his shoulders.

"I have lost so much. So many people." SpongeBob said, clenching his eyes shut.

"That comes with the job." Patrick said.

"Losing my parents too, I guess?" SpongeBob asked, backing up.

"Your parents died?" Patrick asked.

"Car crash. I ignored them for years. Now, they're gone. Almost made me wanna drink again." SpongeBob said.

"Wait. Drink again?" Patrick asked.

"A few months ago, I was abusing alcohol. A friend helped pull me out before it was too late." SpongeBob admitted.

"Sandy? Linda?" Patrick asked.

"No. I haven't even told them about this." SpongeBob said.

"Tell them. Let them help you." Patrick said.

"I'm fine now." SpongeBob said.

"What happens when you're not? All of these feelings you're dealing with? They have the potential to break you." Patrick said.

"Your death already did that." SpongeBob said, emotionally.

Patrick hugged SpongeBob.

"You're gonna survive this. I know it." Patrick said.

"How?" SpongeBob asked.

"Because you already have. You're standing here today, still leading this team." Patrick said.

SpongeBob nodded.

"Patrick?" a voice was heard.

Pearl entered the mission room.

"Hi, Pearl." Patrick said, smiling.

Pearl hugged him tightly.

----

Storage House

Aria made her way to a back table, seeing a crystal ball.

"It's beautiful." Debbie said, joining her.

"Yeah, crystal balls usually are." Aria said, touching it.

Upon making contact with it, Aria felt weird sensations.

"Are you okay?" Debbie asked.

Aria removed her hand.

"Yeah, um, crystal balls usually impart strong psychic waves into sorcerors." Aria said.

"Sounds like the kinda thing that could help find a divine jewel." Debbie said.

Aria raised her eyebrow.

"Perhaps." Aria said.

"I'm sorry. I know how tough it must be for you to be in here. Touching all of your mother's belongings." Debbie said.

"She's dead now. What do I have to fear, right?" Debbie asked.

"Right." Debbie said, nodding.

Aria's phone rung.

"It's SpongeBob..." Aria said, looking at the caller I.D.

"I wonder what he wants." Debbie said.

"I'm gonna take this." Aria said.

Aria walks over to a corner.

Alex comes over to Debbie.

"Done playing on magic flying carpets?" Debbie asked, holding in laughter.

"The only thing weirder would be a magic flying school bus." Alex quipped.

"Yeah, sure." Debbie laughed.

"Who's Aria talking to?" Alex asked.

"SpongeBob called. He didn't beep everyone's communicators, so it can't be mission related." Debbie said.

"Ah." Alex said.

"I'm worried about Aria. Her being here around all of Azarah's stuff." Debbie said.

"Yeah, but she's made of tough stuff. I think she'll be fine." Alex said.

"You're right about that. Aria was amazing in 2010." Debbie said.

Alex nodded.

"She basically formed Team SpongeBob if you think about it." Debbie continued.

"Yeaaah, I don't want to think about time loops right now." Alex said.

"Causal loop - to be more specific." Debbie said.

Aria walks back over.

"Hey, what did Sponge want?" Debbie asked.

"Umm, SpongeBob used the time jewel to bring Patrick Star back from 2016." Aria said.

"What?" Debbie said.

"How could he do that?" Alex asked.

"He said he was hurting and that he let his impulses get the best of him. I can relate, after all." Aria said.

"Shin." Debbie said.

"I told him everything in 2010 - and then erased his memory of course. But, everything in me wanted to find a way to prevent his death." Aria explained.

"You were strong enough to not mess with the timeline." Debbie told her.

"But I understand why SpongeBob wasn't." Aria said.

"Well, he obviously called you cause he wants you to do some mind warping on Mr. Star." Alex said.

"The last time I used magic around Mr. Star, I made Debbie kill him." Aria said, emotionally.

"ARIA! We are so past that, remember?" Debbie expressed, touching her shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah." Aria said, in deep thought.

Debbie hugged her.

Alex joined in on the hug.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

"Well, I guess this is it." Patrick said.

"See ya on the other side." Sandy said, smiling.

"Goodbye, Pat." Linda said.

"Yeah." SpongeBob said, stroking his arm.

"Where's Pearl?" Patrick asked.

"I think that seeing you really got to her. More than I would of expected." SpongeBob said.

"She left the base. Said she was going to take a walk." Linda said.

"I hope she'll be alright." Sandy said.

Aria entered the lounge room, as SpongeBob, Linda, and Sandy stood with Patrick.

"Sorry I took so long." Aria said.

"Wait, this is Aria Alamone." Patrick said, confused.

"I'm a hero now." Aria said.

"She is." Sandy told Patrick.

"A good one, too." Linda remarked.

Aria smiled at Linda.

"I don't know if I trust her to mess with my mind." Patrick said.

"Patrick, I trust her." SpongeBob said.

"Well, I trust you. So, go ahead Aria." Patrick said.

"Okay." Aria said, walking toward him.

Aria placed her hand on the side of his head, beginning the spell.

Patrick's mind floated, as he slowly came back to consciousness.

Patrick opened his eyes, as he was in the hallway of the HQ.

2016 versions of Sandy and Linda walk past.

"Patrick, are you okay?" Sandy asked.

"Uhhh... I guess. I feel like I was just in the middle of something. But, I can't remember what." Patrick said.

"Well, we're about to watch 'Return of the Killer Krab' for movie night." Linda said.

"Oh, right. Off we go." Patrick said, following after them.

----

Debbie entered Aria's room at the HQ.

"Hey." Debbie said.

"Hey." Aria said, sitting on her bed.

"Just came to see how you were feeling." Debbie said.

"Patrick is back to where he belongs in the timeline." Aria said.

"I heard." Debbie said, sitting at the edge of her bed.

"I'm trying to be a good person now, but I can't change the awful things I did." Aria said, shedding tears.

"Hey, hey, come on now." Debbie said, softly.

"My mother's dead, but the truth is... I've been scared this whole time! Scared of turning out just like her." Aria said, whimpering.

"You're not! You're not gonna be anything like her." Debbie said.

Aria wiped her tears.

"You're a hero, Aria. Everyone here knows that." Debbie said.

Aria nodded.

In the mission room, Linda walks up to SpongeBob.

"That was so stupid. What you did." Linda said.

"Don't remind me." SpongeBob said.

"Do you know how hard it must of been for Aria to see Patrick today? For her and Debbie to be reminded of the horror they committed - Debbie, unwillingly?" Linda questioned him.

"I was selfish and stupid today. I haven't denied that." SpongeBob said.

"Sorry for beating you up just now." Linda said, stepping closer to him.

"It's fine." SpongeBob said.

"The jewels are back in lock-up, where they should be. No harm, no foul." Linda said.

"Good. For the first time in forever... I feel like things are gonna work out." SpongeBob said.

At that moment, a thin layer of smoke entered the room.

"... SpongeBob, what is- " Linda said, feeling dizzy.

SpongeBob felt dizzy as well.

Both of them passed out.

In the lounge, we see Alex watching TV.

"What in hell...?" Alex said, seeing the smoke.

Alex passed out, falling off the couch.

In Aria's room, we see the smoke enter through under Aria's door.

"What is that?" Aria asked.

"I don- " Debbie started.

Both Debbie and Aria passed out on the bed.

Team SpongeBob has fallen.

In the hallway, we see Sandy walking through the smoked-out base with a gas mask on.

Her eye pupils turn a black color, as she heads towards lock-up.

Notes:

  • The end of the 'Crisis on Infinite Timelines' arc.
  • Aria admits to having romantic feelings for Debbie. 
  • An old associate of Azarah's gives Aria a key to a storage house where she kept magical heirlooms. 
  • Squidward has returned to Bikini Bottom.
  • SpongeBob brings Patrick back from 2016 so that he, Sandy, and Linda can get closure on his death. It would seem that SpongeBob pulled him out of the timeline during the Season 8 episode, "Reveals", as that was when the team watched Return of the Killer Krab.
  • Patrick is returned to the timeline with his memory erased of future events.
  • SpongeBob, Linda, Aria, Debbie, and Alex all succumb to some kind of smoke attack, seemingly done by Sandy. 
  • Sandy's black eye pupils at the end seem to indicate that her mental conditioning from earlier in the season is still in place.

See you in 2018 for the last batch!

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days

Ep.162 "Sleeper"

Estate of Hamilton Richards, outskirts of Left Shore, Karate Island

We see Hamilton Richards, a member of the Board of Trustees, getting dressed in his room.

As his back is turned, we see Clarissa Clam enter his room.

Through his mirror, he sees her.

"Hello, Richards." Clarissa spoke.

Richards turns around, in fear.

"Black Clam? How the hell did you get past my security?" Richards asked.

"An operative I have with me. Quite good at stealth. I didn't even need to scream!" Clarissa said, smiling deviously.

"Why are you here?!? What do you want from me?" Richards asked.

Clarissa's eyes glared towards his laptop on a desk.

"Not from you." Clarissa said.

Clarissa let out a strong Clam Cry, which blasted Richards out of his two story window.

Federal Investigative Nexus HQ

Pearl was seen in the Examination room at F.I.N's Headquarters.

Director Payne and Pearl watched as SpongeBob, Linda, Debbie, Aria, and Alex were lying unconscious on hospital beds, being treated by doctors.

Pearl looked nervous.

Payne got a ping on his coms.

"Pearl, I'm needed inside our Assignment area." Payne said, walking off.

Pearl just rolled her eyes

Moments later, Bonnie entered the room.

"Pearl! What's happened?" Bonnie asked.

"Bonnie, hey. I don't... I don't really know." Pearl said.

"What do you mean?" Bonnie asked.

"I was out for a walk, and when I returned to the base..." Pearl said, struggling to finish.

"Yeah... and?" Bonnie pressed her to continue.

"My friends were all unconscious, the Divine Jewels had been taken from lock-up, and Sandy was missing." Pearl said.

"Missing? Sandy?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah. When I left, everyone was at the base." Pearl said.

"You don't think Sandy could have..." Bonnie started.

"No!" Pearl said.

"What caused them all to pass out?" Bonnie asked.

"F.I.N discovered a gas agent had been released into the base - a particular one that has the ability to leave people unconscious for days on end." Pearl said.

"If the Divine Jewels are missing, we need Team SpongeBob up now." Bonnie said, worried.

"Exactly. The doctors are working on it, but I don't know how successful they'll be." Pearl said.

"So, someone did this... and also took Sandy? Why her?" Bonnie asked.

"I don't know." Pearl said.

Agent Felix enters the room.

"Pearl, uh... Payne wants to see you in the Assignment area. Bonnie, hey, you should come too." Felix told them.

Felix, Bonnie, and Pearl arrived in the Assignment area, as Payne and other agents looked over monitor screens.

"Clarissa Clam was active this morning on Left Shore. She murdered a Board member inside his home." Payne said.

"... Okay." Pearl said.

"That's not all. Show her the other footage." Payne said.

An agent put up footage that showed Sandy taking out security detail around Richards' house.

Pearl's eyes widened.

"No. No!" Pearl said.

"I don't know why or how, but Sandy's obviously involved with E.V.I.L." Payne stated.

"She's NOT." Pearl yelled.

"That footage is pretty conclusive." Felix stated.

"I don't care what that footage shows!" Pearl said.

"Pearl, it's obvious that Sandy had something to do with the gas attack. She... she was behind it." Payne said, softly, not wanting to believe it either.

Pearl shook her head, running into the hallway.

"Pearl, wait!" Bonnie said, chasing after her.

"WHAT?" Pearl asked, attracting stares from other agents passing by.

"Sandy's a long time friend and teammate of yours, so you just don't wanna believe it. But, there's been signs in my opinion." Bonnie said.

"Signs?" Pearl questioned.

"She shot you last year. Not to mention that she acted as a serial killer for like six months." Bonnie said.

"Stop it! We all know that she was only killing E.V.I.L members. Why would she do that if she was one?" Pearl questioned.

"I'm just saying that she's proven to be morally ambiguous." Bonnie said.

"Bonnie, she was a friend to you. After Clarissa tried to murder you, she was the one who helped you home through your injuries." Pearl reminded her.

"That's right." Bonnie said, thinking it over.

"So, maybe not assume the worst of her? Cause, I've learned to stop doing that." Pearl added.

Bonnie nodded.

"Come back in." Bonnie said.

The two women entered the room again.

"Everything alright?" Payne asked.

"Don't ask questions you know the answer to." Pearl said.

"Look, Black Clam just laid down another body. The Divine Jewels are missing. Sandy - a practiced serial killer, appears to be in league with E.V.I.L. I have a feeling this is all just the beginning." Payne said.

"What are you getting at?" Pearl asked.

"This island needs heroes while your team is recovering. I'll send out F.I.N troops across the island once we get a ping on Black Clam, but I'm sure they'll be no match." Payne admitted.

"I can handle this." Pearl said.

"And so can I." Bonnie stated, stepping forward.

"Bonnie, you're in protection from Black Clam." Payne said.

"She's been working on something, actually. I've been... helping her." Felix revealed.

"Yeah, it's time I show everyone." Bonnie said, leaving out.

After a few minutes, Bonnie returned, dressed in her tactical suit and sporting a collar device.

"What's the device around your neck?" Pearl asked.

"A sonic device. Allows me to mimic Clarissa's powers." Bonnie revealed.

"I don't know about this, agent." Payne said, concerned.

"I'll be fine. This device is fine." Bonnie reassured him.

Payne nodded.

Felix gave Bonnie a proud look.

Team SpongeBob HQ

Pearl and Bonnie were seen entering through the front of HQ.

"The site of the tragedy." Bonnie said.

"Nothing's tragic... yet." Pearl said, gulping.

"F.I.N better hurry up with the coordinates on Black Clam." Bonnie said.

"They're tracking her sonic scream, so they'll pick something up eventually." Pearl said.

"And they're gonna send it to us here at the base?" Bonnie asked.

"Right." Pearl said.

"Goody." Bonnie said, looking stressed.

"You need something to drink." Pearl said.

The two women entered the base's kitchen.

Pearl got two sodas out of the fridge.

"Ugh, why do we drink this crap?" Bonnie asked, opening her soda and gulping.

"Cause it tastes so good." Pearl quipped.

"Yeah." Bonnie said.

"So, what's up?" Pearl asked.

"What do you mean?" Bonnie questioned.

"Making a sonic device that mimics the effects of a sonic scream, the not so subtle 'superhero' outfit, and wanting to join me in bringing in Clarissa and Sandy." Pearl pointed out.

"This... this is not a superhero outfit." Bonnie said, looking down at her tactical suit.

"Could of fooled me. You're dodging." Pearl said.

"Dodging what?" Bonnie asked.

"You wanna be a hero, don't you?" Pearl asked.

Bonnie just stared at Pearl.

"F.I.N's moral ambiguity caused you a lot of stress last year. Maybe you've finally found an avenue for true justice." Pearl guessed.

"Being a superhero?" Bonnie asked.

"You tell me." Pearl said, sipping her soda.

"You're right, okay? F.I.N is shady on a good day. I mean, don't get me wrong... they'll never be E.V.I.L or anything - but, they'll also never be Team SpongeBob." Bonnie expressed.

"That grey area isn't cutting it for you anymore, is it?" Pearl asked.

"I guess not. I wanna help people - directly and without strings." Bonnie voiced.

"I've been in this superhero game for a few years now. I have to tell you, it's not easy. It's really dangerous for people like us." Pearl said.

"People like us?" Bonnie asked.

"Without superpowers, I mean." Pearl said.

"That doesn't make a hero." Bonnie argued.

"I never said that. What I'm getting at is that I'm more vulnerable on the field than Linda or SpongeBob or Alex. Esepcially Debbie - I mean, she's almost a literal God." Pearl explained.

"You don't ever feel inadequate?" Bonnie asked.

"No, because I know we're all equals. But, I do keep in mind that everyone shares different vulnerabilities or weak spots." Pearl said.

Bonnie nodded.

"Thanks for this." Bonnie said.

"Anytime. We should go check the Mission room. See if F.I.N uploaded us with anything." Pearl said.

Both of them took off to the Mission room.

"I think there's something on the feed." Bonnie said.

"You're right." Pearl said, checking the monitor.

Pearl looked worried.

"Everything alright?" Bonnie asked.

"They think Clarissa's gonna hit Mayor Arthur King's office in Left Shore." Pearl said.

"Can we get there in time?" Bonnie asked.

"Uh, the S-Jet." Pearl thought.

"I'll fly it." Bonnie said.

----

City Hall, Left Shore

Arthur is seen in his office at city hall.

"Quite the breeze coming through." Arthur said, closing the window in back of him.

As Arthur turns to get back to work, a massive Clam Cry shatters the wall and windows behind him.

The impact of this causes Arthur to pass out ontop of his desk.

Clarissa and Sandy enter through the site of the blow.

"I'll handle the security force this time. You just focus on getting everything on this." Clarissa said, handing Sandy a USB.

"Got it." Sandy said, taking the USB.

Clarissa ran out into the hall.

----

F.I.N HQ

Inside the Examination room at F.I.N's HQ, we see Debbie waking up.

"Wh- what the... hell..." Debbie said, feeling weak.

A doctor comes by her side.

"Hello, Debbie. My name is Dr. Emily Ridge." Emily said.

"What happened?" Debbie asked, weakly.

"The toxins are being cleared out of your body. You'll feel very weak until this process is complete." Emily said.

"Ah, she's awake." Payne said, entering the room.

"Wh- what did you do to us?" Debbie asked, seeing the others on medical tables.

"F.I.N didn't do anything to Team SpongeBob. This was an inside job." Payne told her.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Debbie asked.

"Sandy Cheeks gassed you all, stole the Divine Jewels, and is now working with a known member of E.V.I.L." Payne told her.

"Sandy would never." Debbie said.

"I guess you never know some people as well as you think you might." Payne said.

"I need... to get ou-t of here." Debbie said, struggling to sit up.

"I caution against that, please." Emily said, gently holding her down.

Debbie sighed.

----

City Hall, Left Shore

Red alarms rung in City Hall, as people evacuated the building.

More security guards came at Clarissa, as she used her Clam Cry to blast them down.

As Clarissa runs down another hall, we see Bonnie intercept her from an adjacent hallway, releasing a sonic scream from the collar device.

Bonnie's scream manages to break a few windows near Clarissa, catching her attention.

Clarissa turns around.

"Bonnie Morse?" Clarissa asked, amused.

"It's time for you to stop!" Bonnie said.

"Me? What about you? Is this the legnth you'll go to just to get my attention? Uh oh, someone's got a crush." Clarissa said.

"I wanted to help you." Bonnie stated.

"By... dressing up as me? Mimicking my sonic scream?" Clarissa asked.

"I've been calling myself Mockingclam." Bonnie said.

"And a mockery you are. That scream was pitiful! Couldn't get the device to register more decibels?" Clarissa teased.

"I got your decibels right here!" Bonnie said, releasing another scream.

Clarissa quickly released a more powerful sonic scream, which created a shockwave-like effect.

Bonnie was blasted into a wall.

In Arthur's office, Sandy was done putting files into the USB.

"SANDY!" Pearl said, rushing into the room.

Sandy snatched the USB out, putting it into her pocket.

"Hello, Pearl." Sandy said.

Pearl noticed that Sandy's pupils were black.

"You're possessed, thank god." Pearl said. "You're not yourself." Pearl added.

"I'm more myself than ever." Sandy said, coming toward Pearl.

"The real Sandy isn't evil." Pearl said.

"The real Sandy is a murderer. A serial killer. Cruel." Sandy said, smiling.

"No." Pearl said, shaking her head.

"She took great joy in shooting you last year." Sandy said.

An angered Pearl set up her bow and arrow, pointing at Sandy.

"SHUT UP!" Pearl said.

"SHOOT! Or I WILL!" Sandy said.

Pearl shot the arrow, as Sandy dodged.

Sandy kicked Pearl's bow out of her hand, as the two engaged in regular combat.

Sandy upper cut Pearl.

"You were always below me!" Sandy said, performing a spin kick on Pearl.

Pearl was knocked onto the ground, as Sandy escaped.

In the halls, Clarissa walked over to Bonnie, who was on the floor.

"Cla-rissa... don't do this." Bonnie said, unable to stand.

"Time for you to go bye-bye. For good." Clarissa said, readying to release a Clam Cry.

Suddenly, the halls began to shake, making Clarissa stumble.

"Wh-at?" Clarissa said, turning around.

Tetra revealed herself, turning a corner.

Tetra also appeared in her superhero costume.

"Black Clam, right?" Tetra asked, walking down the hallway.

"Get out of here before I kill you too." Clarissa threatened.

"Trust me, sweetie... my control over sonic waves is much better than yours." Tetra said.

Tetra released sonic waves from her hands, causing the entire building to shake.

Clarissa, for the first time, looked unnerved.

Clarissa released a Clam Cry to disrupt the lights inside the building.

As the lights flashed back on, Clarissa was gone.

"That coward!" Tetra said, angered.

Tetra ran over to help Bonnie.

"Are you alright?" Tetra asked.

"... Yeah." Bonnie said, saddened.

Fifteen minutes later, Arthur was seen being put into an emergency truck, as a crowd of people gathered in the vicinity.

Pearl and Bonnie walked over to Tetra.

"Tetra, is he gonna be okay?" Bonnie asked.

"A crushed gill, but he'll live." Tetra told them.

"I see a few F.I.N agents went into the emergency truck.

"They promised to protect him while I'm off doing what I need to do." Tetra said.

"... And that is?" Pearl asked.

"Finding the Black Clam and making her pay." Tetra told them.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

At the HQ, Pearl was seen with Tetra and Bonnie.

"Hey, we really want to thank you for helping with Clarissa back there." Pearl said.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for you... I could of lost my life today." Bonnie said.

"Well, we're lucky that didn't happen." Tetra said, touching her arm.

"I... uh... need a minute." Bonnie said, walking into the hall.

Pearl chased after her.

"Mockingclam, what's wrong?" Pearl asked.

"Don't call me that!" Bonnie said, emotional.

Pearl looked at her.

"Is this about what happened back at City Hall?" Pearl asked.

"Some hero I tried to be. She almost killed me. I was no match." Bonnie said.

"Sandy beat me too. And I've been at this for years. Doesn't make you a bad hero to get beaten." Pearl told her.

Bonnie nodded.

"Come back in." Pearl said.

The two arrived back in the Mission room.

"Everything cool?" Tetra asked.

"Yeah." Bonnie said.

"Good, cause I wanna find this woman. I'm tired of her attacking and killing people on the island. My brother was her last victim, I promise." Tetra threatened.

"I don't think she was after your brother." Pearl said.

"What do you mean?" Tetra asked.

At that moment, a man walked into the room.

"Tomoya! Hey! I'm glad you got my call." Pearl said, running to hug him.

"Glad to be of service." Tomoya said, dressed in his costume.

"You reached out to Cold Reef?" Tetra asked.

"Yes. Not a problem, right?" Pearl asked.

"Oh no, me and Tomoya run into each other sometimes while doing the hero thing." Tetra said, chuckling.

"Nice to see you again, Tremors." Tomoya said, smiling.

"Awesome, cause you two actually formed a new Team SpongeBob together in the year 2020." Pearl mentioned.

"Uhhh... did she just mention a future event in past tense?" Tomoya asked.

"I think she did." Tetra said, confused.

"Guys, back to the main focus here." Bonnie said.

"Right. Uh, Pearl... you said Clarissa's target wasn't my brother?" Tetra questioned.

"I mean, to Clarissa... killing is the fun part." Pearl said.

"But that wasn't the objective." Bonnie realized.

"Then what was?" Tetra asked.

"When Clarissa attacked Richards this morning, the police noted that she seemed to have taken files off his laptop. This afternoon, she attacked your brother's office looking for information on his computer." Pearl explained.

"You said you saw Sandy rip a USB out of Arthur's desktop." Bonnie said.

"Exactly." Pearl said.

"Sandy's eye pupils were black, according to your description." Bonnie said.

"I think she's been a sleeper agent for E.V.I.L. At some point, they must of used the Dark Jewel on her." Pearl said.

"So, Clarissa and Sandy are attacking high ranking government officials in order to... find some piece of information." Tetra pieced together.

"What that is, I have no idea." Pearl said.

"But once we do, we can determine their next move." Bonnie said.

"And hopefully their final." Tomoya added.

----

Karate Island Forests

In the woods, we see Sandy and Clarissa meet up with Victoria, Jonathan, Amy, and Brock.

"Look what the Clam dragged in!" Amy said, referring to Sandy.

Brock chuckled.

"You're just mad, because you've never beaten me. Not even once." Sandy teased.

"Wanna go again?" Amy said, pulling out her stilettos.

"Amy! That's no way to treat our newest member of E.V.I.L." Victoria yelled.

"Put the toys away, clown." Sandy said to her.

"I might be a clown, but you're just a puppet." Amy said.

"Amy and Brock, I want you two to secure the perimeters. Make sure we're alone out here." Victoria said.

"On it, boss." Brock said.

Amy and Brock took off into the woods.

"The information you two retrieved from Arthur's computer turned up nothing! Just like with Richards this morning." Victoria said.

"Not our fault." Clarissa said.

"Now wait a minute, there is one angle we found through reading the emails and documents." Jonathan said.

"What's that?" Sandy asked.

"The location of the Infinity Jewel was given verbally." Victoria said.

"So we won't find it on any servers." Clarissa said.

"No, you'll find it inside the head of one woman." Victoria said.

"Who?" Sandy asked.

Victoria smiled.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

In the mission room, Pearl stands with Tetra and Tomoya.

Bonnie enters the room.

"Just got off the phone with F.I.N. They know what E.V.I.L wants." Bonnie said.

"Nothing good." Tomoya joked.

"The location of the Infinity Jewel." Bonnie said.

"What if they've gotten it?" Pearl suggested.

"Impossible." Bonnie said.

"What makes you so sure?" Tetra asked.

"Only one person knows where it is - aside from the Space Regime." Bonnie said.

"Who?" Pearl asked.

"The President of the Board of Trustees. Amanda Wheeler." Bonnie revealed.

"Amanda? She's having a charity event today in Mainland." Tetra said.

"They're gonna kidnap her." Tomoya guessed.

"You're right, they might." Pearl said.

"We need to beat them there." Tetra said.

"All aboard the S-Jet." Bonnie said, walking off.

----

Amanda Wheeler's Charity Event, Mainland

We see hundreds of socialites talking inside a building for Amanda's charity event.

Two men dressed in black approach Amanda.

"Gentlemen, I have donors to talk to. Please do not hound me." Amanda said.

"This is about your protection." one man said.

"I'm aware, Mark." Amanda replied.

"No, I mean there's been incidents." Mark said.

"What?" Amanda asked, confused.

"Richards was murdered this morning by Clarissa Clam. Mayor Arthur King on Left Shore was also attacked and injured." Mark told her.

"Why didn't I hear about this? No one ever tells me anything!" Amanda whispered, in shock.

"Maybe you should call this event off." Mark suggested.

"No. I'm getting on stage and going through with it. No one's gonna scare me out of my own event." Amanda said, rushing to the stage.

"Welcome, everyone! I hope you're enjoying the drinks and snacks, because we're about to get started!" Amanda said, on stage.

At that moment, a sonic blast destroys the entrance to the building.

Everyone looks as Clarissa enters, looking deranged and murderous.

The security inside rushes to Clarissa, but she uses her Clam Cry to raise hell.

Outside, we see security guards rushing from around the perimeters of the building.

Sandy jumps out, intercepting them.

"Where do you think you're all going?" Sandy said, stinging them with the Jelly Bite.

An arrow is shot at Sandy's Jelly Bite, kncoking it off her hand.

"SANDY!" Pearl shouted, running toward her.

"HOW are you here?" Sandy asked.

"You need to stop what you're doing. This isn't you." Pearl said.

"Don't tell me what is and isn't me!" Sandy said.

"I'm sorry, Sandy." Pearl said, shooting an explosive arrow near her.

Sandy was blasted back.

Pearl shot more arrows as Sandy avoided them with cartwheels.

Sandy tossed a dagger at Pearl's aiming wrist, which cause her to drop her bow.

"OW!" Pearl yelled, bleeding.

Sandy raced up to her as they started hand to hand combat again.

Inside, Clarissa emitted a Clam Cry at the security force guarding Amanda.

"What do you want!??" Amanda asked.

"Where's the location of the Infinity Jewel?" Clarissa asked.

"I don't know." Amanda said, terrified.

"LIES!" Clarissa yelled.

"I'll NEVER tell you!" Amanda said, standing her ground.

"Then I'll rough you up just a little bit!" Clarissa said.

Clarissa released a Clam Cry at Amanda, blasting the woman back on the stage.

"CLARISSA!" a voice was heard.

Clarissa turned around to see Bonnie and Tetra running into the building.

"GOOD GOD! DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE LIVES!" Clarissa stated.

Clarissa released another Clam Cry, as both women tried to avoid it.

Tetra hit the floor, banging her head.

Bonnie stood up, as she and Clarissa came face to face.

"Why can't you just give up on me? That'd make this so much easier." Clarissa said, about to release another scream.

Bonnie quickly punched her in the face.

"D-did you just..." Clarissa said.

Clarissa threw a punch at Bonnie, but Bonnie grabbed her arm and swung her to the floor.

Clarissa released another Clam Cry, blasting Bonnie onto a table.

Bonnie hit the table, as it broke down onto the floor.

Outside Sandy and Pearl continued fighting.

Sandy did another spin kick, but Pearl avoided her.

Pearl tried to grab her bow off the ground, but Sandy quickly kicked her in the face.

Pearl fell down to the ground, as Sandy kicked her again in the stomach.

As Pearl struggled, Sandy pulled out a gun.

"Goodbye, Pearl." Sandy said, smiling.

"You're not gonna shoot me!" Pearl said.

Sandy fidgeted with the gun.

"You can't do it." Pearl said, looking into her eyes.

Sandy appeared frustrated.

"Fight this, Sandy! FIGHT IT!" Pearl yelled.

At that moment, an icy gust blast Sandy against the side of the building, knocking her out.

Tomoya appears, helping Pearl up.

"Are you okay?" Tomoya asked.

"She wasn't gonna shoot me." Pearl said.

"Couldn't take any chances." Tomoya said.

Pearl nodded.

Back inside, we see Clarissa standing up.

As Clarissa got herself together, Tetra was seen sending a sonic blast at a chandelier above her.

Clarissa jumped out of the way.

"You really think you're more powerful than me?" Clarissa asked.

"Yes." Tetra said.

Clarissa laughed.

"My brother was your last victim. And Richards was your last kill." Tetra said.

"Oh yeah?" Clarissa asked.

"YES!" Tetra said.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Clarissa shouted.

Clarissa released a massive Clam Cry.

Tetra used her ability to control sonic waves to reverse the Clam Cry.

The sonic shockwave knocked Clarissa to the ground, giving her internal ruptures.

"Oh my god..." Tetra said, realizing what she's done.

Bonnie pulled herself out of the wreckage of the table, running to Clarissa's side.

"CLARISSA! CLARISSA!" Bonnie yelled.

Clarissa struggled to talk.

"I-m so-rry." Clarissa said.

"Everything will be fine, it'll be fine." Bonnie said, holding her hand.

"N-o, I'm dying." Clarissa said, shedding a tear.

"No, we can save you, everything will b- "

"B-BONNIE!" Clarissa yelled.

Bonnie listened to her.

"I need you to be what I never could." Clarissa said.

"What?" Bonnie asked.

"Like you said before - a force for good. Take the Black Clam name and do good with it." Clarissa said, coughing up blood.

"No! No! Clarissa, look, you're gonna make it." Bonnie said.

Clarissa shook her head.

"Promise me! Promise me you'll be the Black Clam? Promise you'll be a her- " Clarissa said, succumbing to her injuries.

Clarissa died.

Bonnie closed Clarissa's eyelids, bowing her head.

"Bonnie... I just wanted stop her." Tetra said, distraught.

"And I just wanted to save her." Bonnie said, in a low voice.

----

Assignment Area, F.I.N HQ

The following day, the members of Team SpongeBob had awoken.

Director Payne, Team SpongeBob, and Bonnie all met up in the Assignment area.

"Glad to see you guys are awake." Pearl said.

"How's Sandy?" SpongeBob asked, concerned.

"We have her in a cell. Aria, we'll need you to use your magic to remove the influence of the Dark Jewel on her mind." Payne said.

"Yeah, definitely." Aria said.

"We lost." Debbie said, angered.

"Debbie..." Linda said, softly.

"NO! Victoria TOLD ME! When we were in 2010, she said 'after this is all done with, and the smoke settles, I promise you won't have any jewels.'" Debbie told them.

"You couldn't of seen Sandy's betrayal coming." Linda said.

"I shouldn't of let the jewels out of my hands. I am the Universal Guardian, and I FAILED." Debbie said, shedding tears.

"And can we use a different dialogue for what happened with Sandy?" SpongeBob said.

"SpongeBob's right. Sandy didn't betray us. At some point, Triton must of used the Dark Jewel on her mind to plant some kind of conditioning." Pearl said.

"It could of been that day Clarissa and Victoria ambushed Bonnie in her home." Alex said.

"That's right. Sandy was with me in my house, but we were separated for a time." Bonnie said.

"When Clarissa tied you up in the woods." Debbie said.

"Exactly." Bonnie said.

"We should have seen it! We should of been checking everyone that day!" Debbie said.

"Well we didn't! And we can't change that, Debbie." Linda said.

"I'm out of here." Debbie said, walking off.

"I'm gonna go scan Sandy's mind." Aria said.

"Agent Felix will escort you to her cell." Payne said.

Aria and Felix took off.

"I'll go after Debbie." Alex said, leaving.

"So, what now... Team SpongeBob?" Payne asked.

"Don't be an asshole." Pearl said.

"I'm not." Payne said.

"Victoria's had the Time Jewel in her possession for over twenty four hours." Linda said.

"... And she hasn't used it yet." SpongeBob said.

"Victoria's not stupid. Trying to kill you guys again in the past would result in temporal damage." Bonnie said.

"What about the Infinity Jewel?" Pearl asked Payne.

"It turns out there was one document we overlooked." Payne said, regretfully.

"There's a document with the Infinity Jewel's location on it?" Pearl asked, afraid.

"Yes. But, if we missed it... maybe E.V.I.L did too." Payne said.

"We can't put a gamble on that." Linda said.

"Exactly why I've sent agents to retrieve it from it's storage place." Payne said.

"Let us know when they have it, yeah?" SpongeBob asked.

"Of course." Payne said.

SpongeBob rolled his eyes.

"Let's get home. We need to start a search for E.V.I.L's HQ." SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob, Linda, and Pearl started on their way out.

Pearl paused to talk with Bonnie.

"I'm sorry about Clarissa's death. I know you really tried to reach her." Pearl said.

"She asked me to do something... before she died." Bonnie said.

"What?" Pearl asked.

Bonnie walked over to Payne.

"Director Payne, I have something to say to you." Bonnie spoke.

"And that is?" Payne asked.

"I'm resigning." Bonnie said, emotional.

Pearl looked shocked.

Payne nodded.

"I don't understand, but do what you have to." Payne said, walking off.

"She asked you to be a hero, didn't she?" Pearl questioned.

"It's time I find a path of justice. Outside of the law." Bonnie said.

"So... what? Are you the new Black Clam?" Pearl asked.

"I don't know if I'm ready to take that name yet. Mockingclam is what feels right for the time being." Bonnie said.

"You'll be great." Pearl said, flashing her a smile.

With that, Pearl took off.

Bonnie stood alone, pondering her next move.

----

Location Classified

We see F.I.N agents walking through an underground cavern.

"The Infinity Jewel should be down this way." one agent said.

The agents approach a large opening, where a platform appears.

"The jewel should be on the platform." another agent said.

Suddenly, the agents feel a chill in the cavern.

They turn around, seeing Victoria approach them with the Infinity Jewel in hand.

"Too late!" Victoria said, murdering them with her ice powers.

NOTES:

  • It is revealed that Sandy was a sleeper agent for E.V.I.L, following Triton using the Dark Jewel on her during the episode "Clam Cry".
  • Clarissa Clam is now dead. Before passing, she asks Bonnie to take on the mantle of 'Black Clam' as a hero.
  • Bonnie has resigned from F.I.N.
  • The Infinity Jewel is nabbed by Victoria, who beats F.I.N agents to its location.

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days

Ep.163 "Retreat" 

Team SpongeBob HQ

The base had been very quiet all week, as everyone drowned themselves into depression and work.

Alex was seen in the kitchen, barely eating his breakfast.

Aria was seen watching TV, hardly enjoying it.

In the gym, Debbie was seen using the full extent of her super strength to punch a punching bad right into the wall.

"Whoa..." Linda said, walking in.

Debbie sighed loudly.

"You've been pissy all week." Linda said.

"Everyone has." Debbie said, taking off her gloves.

"I know." Linda said.

"So WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Debbie yelled.

"Hey... hey, I'm your friend. Take it easy and talk to me." Linda said.

"I don't feel like talking." Debbie said.

"You're scared. About Victoria." Linda said.

"She's out there with all four Divine Jewels. Who knows what the hell she has planned. She's been quiet - too quiet." Debbie said.

"I know." Linda said.

"I need to go look for their base of operations again." Debbie said.

"For the tenth time this week?" Linda asked.

"If it gets me closer to finding this ice witch? Yes!" Debbie said.

We now see Sandy in her room, lying down and appearing withdrawn.

SpongeBob knocks on her door.

"... Who?" Sandy asked, softly.

"It's me." SpongeBob said.

"Come in." Sandy said.

SpongeBob walked in.

"Hey. How have you been?" SpongeBob asked.

Sandy shook her head.

"I destroyed everything. How do you think I've been?" Sandy asked.

"It wasn't you. There was a conditioning in your brain. You couldn't fight it." SpongeBob said.

"All I know how to do is fight. Still, I ignored what was happening in my own head." Sandy said, nearly shedding tears.

"You've hardly left your room all week. You know that no one blames you, right?" SpongeBob asked.

"They may not blame me, but... they look at me different. You know it, and I know it." Sandy said, nodding.

"That's not true." SpongeBob said.

"I told you from the beginning that this team wasn't gonna work." Sandy said.

"One downside doesn't change all the success we've had." SpongeBob said.

"I need to be alone." Sandy said.

"Actually, I was hoping you'd come to the Mission Room." SpongeBob said.

"Why?" Sandy asked.

"I have something to tell everyone." SpongeBob said.

Sandy sighed.

"Fine." Sandy said.

After a few minutes, the entire team grouped in the Mission Room.

SpongeBob stood before everyone.

Sandy stood against the wall, away from the group.

"Alright, a lot of bad shit happened last week." SpongeBob said.

"No kidding." Pearl said, crossing her arms.

"We lost the Divine Jewels, Clarissa Clam is dead, the Mayor of Left Shore is still in the hospital, F.I.N agents were murdered by Victoria... who now has the Infinity Jewel." SpongeBob said.

"What's the point of this recap?" Debbie asked.

"Yeah, we all know how bad things got." Alex said.

"Because we're all still here. Still breathing." SpongeBob said.

"He's right. We need to be thankful for that." Linda said.

"What we need to do is find out what Victoria's next move is." Debbie said.

"Or why she hasn't made any moves yet at all." Aria said.

"She's planning something huge. I can feel it." Pearl said.

"That's the thing... we're not gonna be able to function right if we don't deal with this depression we've all got going on." SpongeBob said.

Everyone looked down.

"Guys, we're not gonna be a help to anyone if we don't help ourselves." SpongeBob said.

"You're saying we need a mental health day?" Pearl questioned.

"Or... weekend." SpongeBob said.

"What are you getting at?" Linda asked.

"I've signed all seven of us up for a retreat this weekend." SpongeBob said.

"What?" everyone said at the same time.

"You want us to go on vacation while the world is about to end?" Sandy asked, finally breaking her silence.

"I want us to get better so that we may effectively save the world." SpongeBob said.

"I see his point." Linda said.

"And what's better than camping out in the Karate Island forests? That's how this team operated before we had a base. We camped out, we took in nature, and our mental health was better for it." SpongeBob said.

"I've never camped out with the team before." Debbie said, sounding happy for the first time in a while.

"Well, now is your opportunity." Linda said, flashing her a warm smile.

"Alright." Debbie said.

"Aria? Pearl? Alex?" SpongeBob asked.

"Sure." Alex said.

"If you think it'll work." Aria said.

"I'm in." Pearl said.

SpongeBob turned to Sandy.

"...Sand?" SpongeBob asked.

"Okay." Sandy said, nodding.

"Great! Everyone pack a bag and meet on the S-Jet in fifteen minutes." SpongeBob said.

----

Karate Island Forests

The members of Team SpongeBob are seen setting up camp.

"We got a pretty nice spot, I'd say." SpongeBob said.

"Agreed." Linda said.

Aria and Debbie were seen finishing their tent.

"We got that up pretty fast! Mostly because of you." Debbie said, smiling.

"Yeah well, when I was on the run with SpongeBob, Sandy, and Alex, I got pretty good at putting up tents." Aria said.

"AND MAKING FIRE!" Alex yelled from across the campsite.

Alex was seen getting the camp fire going.

"Sticks? Check. Lightning???" Alex said, shooting a small lightning blast. "Check." Alex said, as the fire was produced.

"I'm going to explore." Pearl said.

"I'll join you. Maybe we can find a hot spring to soak in." Linda said, following Pearl.

Sandy was seen sitting near the shore.

SpongeBob sat next to her.

"Hey, all by yourself?" SpongeBob questioned.

"I don't mean to be a recluse..." Sandy said.

"It's okay. I get it." SpongeBob said.

"No matter how much I try to understand that what happened wasn't my fault, I just keep blaming myself all over again." Sandy said.

"I think I know why." SpongeBob said.

Sandy looked at him.

"You always think you need to be strong. Strong enough to stop any threat, strong enough to prevent bad things from happening." SpongeBob started.

"That's very true." Sandy admitted.

"But you have to realize that no one is invincible." SpongeBob said.

Sandy nodded.

"I think the main reason I hate myself right now is because doing everything I did under possession... it reminded me of how out of control I was a few months ago." Sandy said.

"When you were... uh... murdering E.V.I.L associates." SpongeBob said.

"Yeah. The Red Widow. Couldn't be a more fitting name." Sandy said.

"It doesn't have to be associated with negativity." Spongebob said.
     
Sandy sighed.

"You've already associated that name with heroism." SpongeBob said.

"Half of that time I was a sleeper agent for E.V.I.L." Sandy said.

"Under mind control. What matters here was your intent." SpongeBob said.

Sandy shed a tear.

"Thank you. For always believing the best in me." Sandy said, kissing SpongeBob's cheek.

SpongeBob blushed, turning away slightly.

"Sorry. I got a little emotional. I'm gonna head to my tent." Sandy said, getting up and leaving.

SpongeBob appeared to be in deep thought.

Pearl and Linda were seen walking through the forest.

"We've been walking for ages. No hot springs." Linda said.

"We used to get much more lucky back in the day." Pearl said, disappointed.

The ladies came across another campsite.

"Hi!" a woman said, standing up from the campfire.

"Oh, sorry. We didn't mean to introduce." Pearl said, frantic.

"Yeah, we were just looking for a hot spring." Linda said.

"No, it's fine. My name's Marley." Marley said, shaking their hand. "That's Dave, and that's my our son, Harry." Marley introduced.

"Nice to meet you all." Linda said.

"You won't find a hot spring in this area. Me and my son have already tried looking." Dave said.

"Man, I guess our groups got a bad area." Pearl said.

"Wait... these guys are Team SpongeBob!" Harry said. 

"No way! Lightress and Pink Arrow, correct?" Dave asked.

"Linda and Pearl are fine." Linda said, with a laugh.

"Wow, it's like we're in the presence of royalty!" Marley said, excitedly.

"Guys, we should tell them about the werewolf!" Harry said.

"The what?" Pearl asked.

"Don't mind our son's teenage imagination." Marley said.

"No babe, this thing might be legit." Dave said.

"A werewolf?" Pearl asked.

"There's something out there." Harry said.

"Yeah, it's furry and comes out at night." Dave said.

"Dave, you sound ridiculous." Marley said.

"Then how do you explain the disappearances in this neck of the forest lately?" Dave asked.

"Disappearances?" Linda asked.

"There's been a few. Mostly teenagers and young adults. Ya know, dumb kids getting lost in the woods because they're intoxicated." Marley said, brushing it off.

"Dave, why do you believe there's a werewolf?" Pearl asked.

"Me and my son seen something one night. It moved fast." Dave said.

"And like my dad said, it was furry." Harry reminded them.

Pearl and Linda looked at each other, unsure of what to make of all of this.

We now see Debbie and Alex walking through the forest.

"Wow, Alex... we came across a goldmine!" Debbie said, as they walked into an area with all kinds of fruits.

"Bananas, berries, even nuts." Alex said, picking a nut up off the ground.

Debbie used her powers to fly up and rip a banana out of the tree.

"There's some coconuts up there." Alex said, pointing at a different tree.

"I never realized how enjoyable nature could be." Debbie said.

"I'm glad to see you smiling and happy." Alex said, staring at her.

Debbie turned to him.

"Thanks, I guess. I've been a bit moody lately." Debbie said.

"I couldn't tell." Alex joked.

Debbie rolled her eyes.

"I thought as the Universal Guardian, I should of been able to protect the Divine Jewels better. Certainly not lose all of them in less than a day." Debbie said.

"No one is perfect, Debbie." Alex said.

"Yeah, true." Debbie said.

"Even I had to learn how to stop chasing perfection. Especially when I'm already perfect just the way I am." Alex said.

"Are you referring to the bottom surgery?" Debbie asked, curiously.

"I decided not to go through with it." Alex said.

"I thought it was what you wanted." Debbie said.

"I thought so too. But, I had to really dig deep and understand how I was feeling." Alex said.

"How do you feel now?" Debbie asked.

"Some transmen get the surgery, some don't. It's about what each man is comfortable with. As for me, I was comfortable with the surgey until I realized that I was doing it because I felt insecure and like less of a man." Alex said.

"You're not any less." Debbie told him.

"I know that now." Alex said.

Debbie got closer to him, holding his hand.

"I've missed you, touching you." Debbie said, warmly.

"Me too." Alex said, kissing her.

From afar, Aria witnessed the kiss.

A few hours later, we see the team around the campfire at night.

SpongeBob passes around a bag of marshmallows for everyone to roast.

"Marshmallows - a campfire must have." Debbie said, putting her stick to the fire.

"Try not to hold it too close." Alex said, adjusting her wrist.

"Thank you!" Debbie said, flirty.

Aria side eyed them.

"Hey guys, I just wanna say that I'm sorry about being so distant." Sandy told them.

"No need to apologize, Sandy." Linda said, smiling.

"Yeah, we all know why. And we all want you to know that it wasn't your fault." Debbie told her.

Everyone agreed.

"Yeah, someone made me realize that." Sandy said, giving SpongeBob an affectionate look.

"I am kinda tired." Aria said, yawning.

"Everyone get a good rest tonight." Alex said.

"Yeah, don't let the werewolves bite!" Pearl joked.

"Pearl." Linda said, nudging her arm.

"What?" Pearl asked.

"Wait, what's going on here?" SpongeBob asked.

"Nothing." Linda said.

"Oh come on, this team needs to be done with secrets." Sandy said.

"Fine. We just didn't want to scare you all." Linda said.

"It's probably nothing." Pearl said.

"A few campers nearby said that they saw something resembling a werewolf." Linda revealed.

"And that there have been disappearances in this area." Pearl added.

"Well that's unsettling." Debbie said.

"This can't be real." SpongeBob said.

"Guys, there's a real life witch sitting right next to me." Alex said, gesturing over Aria.

Aria let out a small giggle.

"A werewolf, huh? It does feel close to the end, so I guess there's still time for one last wacky, out-there Team SpongeBob villain." Sandy said, shrugging.

"I am sure that Team SpongeBob has nothing to be worried about! We came out here to get away from it all." Linda said.

SpongeBob nodded.

"But, if there is something out there that's kidnapping people... we should get involved." Debbie said.

"Hell, we could become targets." Alex said.

"I think we all just need to go to bed. A good night sleep will put away all these fears." Aria said.

"I'm with Aria. In fact, I'm off already." Linda said, getting up and leaving.

Late at night, we see SpongeBob and Alex inside their shared tent.

SpongeBob yawns, as Alex sits up.

"Everything alright, man?" SpongeBob asked.

"Just thinking about Debbie." Alex said, smirking.

SpongeBob sat up.

"Alright, give me the gossip." SpongeBob said.

"Do boys gossip about girls and romance inside cramped tents?" Alex questioned.

"It's 2017, of course we do." SpongeBob said, humorously.

"We kissed. Me and Debbie." Alex said.

"Alright man! Does that mean you two are getting back together?" SpongeBob asked.

"We didn't talk about the status of our relationship much after sharing that make out session... but, I'm pretty sure." Alex said, nodding.

"I'm happy for you." SpongeBob said, patting his shoulder.

"I'm happy for you too." Alex said, winking.

Alex laid down.

"Wait, wait, wait, get your ass back up." SpongeBob said.

Alex sat up.

"What?" Alex asked.

"What do you mean?" SpongeBob asked.

"You and Sandy... at the shore earlier? I saw her kiss you on the cheek. And then that look she gave you at the campfire tonight." Alex said.

"Oh no! Me and Sandy aren't doing anything." SpongeBob said.

"Everyone knows that you're waiting until after everything's over to resolve the famous love triangle between you, Sandy, and Linda." Alex said, laughing.

"Dude, it's not like that." SpongeBob said.

"Well, the end of the world is upon us. Have you made any kind of decision yet? About who you wanna be with?" Alex asked.

"I'm dealing with a bit of a double edged sword." SpongeBob admitted.

"How so?" Alex asked.

"I love Sandy, but I'm in love with Linda." SpongeBob revealed.

"I have seen you and Linda become close over being co-leaders." Alex said.

"It's not that we became 'close', but that we've regained the in-sync connection we used to have." SpongeBob said.

"And Sandy?" Alex questioned.

"Sandy's always there for me no matter what. Her loyalty is unwavering." SpongeBob said.

"But?" Alex asked.

"At the end of the day, she sometimes feel more like my best friend than the woman I want to marry." SpongeBob admitted.

"Best friends make the best lovers, ya know." Alex told him.

SpongeBob nodded.

In Aria and Debbie's tent, we see Aria roll over towars Debbie.

"Hey, are you asleep?" Aria asked.

"No." Debbie said, opening her eyes.

"I keep thinking about stuff." Aria said.

"Werewolf related?" Debbie asked.

"Also about you and Alex. I saw you two kiss earlier." Aria revealed.

Debbie's cheeks flushed red.

"I didn't know anyone was there." Debbie said, embarrassed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be nosy, I just literally walked in on it." Aria said.

"If you're asking me if this means we're back together... I don't know yet. We didn't talk much about that." Debbie said.

"I bet." Aria said, joking.

Debbie nudged her.

"This werewolf thing does have me concerned." Aria said.

"Me too, if I'm being honest." Debbie said.

"How about we go investigate?" Aria asked.

"I'd be up for it. Maybe we can quietly snatch Alex too." Debbie suggested.

Inside Alex and SpongeBob's tent, Alex is seen to be very annoyed by SpongeBob's snoring.

"Goodness, he sounds like an engine!" Alex said, covering his ears.

"Alex! Alex!" a whisper was heard.

Alex sat up, seeing two shadowy figures outside his tent.

Alex came out of his tent, seeing Debbie and Aria.

"What are you two doing up?" Alex asked.

"We're going into the woods to look for that thing. Whatever it is." Debbie said.

"Are you guys sure about this? Shouldn't we wake the rest of the team?" Alex asked.

"Everyone seems divided about if this thing actually exists, so it would just be unproductive." Aria said.

"I agree." Debbie said, nodding.

"Fine. Let's go." Alex agreed.

Moments later, the three were seen treading through the forest.

"I'm gonna fly up and scan this area of the forest." Debbie said.

"Alright." Alex and Aria said.

Debbie flew into the sky, as Alex and Aria kept walking.

Before she realized it, Aria had gotten separated from Alex.

"Alex?!? Alex!" Aria called out.

At that moment, she spotted a figure behind some trees.

Aria chased after the figure, but it moved in a flash.

"What the hell!?!" Aria questioned.

From behind, something tapped her shoulder.

Aria turned around, seeing the strange creature.

"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE REAL!" Aria shouted, backing up.

The creature appeared startled, as Alex jumped out from some bushes.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Alex said, shooting a lightning strike.

The creature quickly avoided it, and raced over to Alex.

The creature roared, grabbing Alex by the neck.

Alex struggled to breathe as the creature threw him at a tree.

"Uhhh!" Alex shrieked, as the creature walked toward him.

Debbie landed in front of Alex, making the ground tremble.

Debbie punched the creature back a few feet, racing toward it.

The creature struck Debbie's face, cutting her with it's sharp claw-like nails.

Debbie immediately shot an energy blast at the creature, as it went flying down a nearby hill.

"Alex, are you okay?" Debbie asked.

"I'm fine! Get the werewolf!" Alex said.

Debbie flew down the hill, looking for the creature.

"... It's gone." Debbie said, in fear.

The next morning, Team SpongeBob grouped at the campfire.

"Are you guys sure you saw this thing?" SpongeBob asked.

"SpongeBob, look at my cheek!" Debbie argued, pointing to her cut.

"I don't know what to make of it, but it was hairy and fast. It was definitely a werewolf." Alex said.

"Wow, a werewolf. I mean, we've gone up against some out-there stuff in the past..." Pearl said.

"Yeah, like: demons, Mud Man, Stone Man, Fire Man... the list just gets wackier." Sandy said, humorously.

"Wait, did you just say Mud Man?" Alex asked.

"Yes." Sandy confirmed.

"Uhhh... I'm just not even gonna ask." Alex said, shaking his head.

"Guys, back to the main focus here. There's a werewolf out there kidnapping and possibly murdering people." Linda said.

"It wasn't trying to hurt me." Aria spoke.

Everyone stared at her.

"Aria? What do you mean?" SpongeBob asked.

"When Alex shot lightning at the creature to protect me from it. I don't think it was gonna hurt me." Aria said, looking at Alex.

"Uh, well it certainly hurt me and Debbie." Alex said.

"Yeah, I have the bruise to prove it." Debbie said.

"If we can find this thing again, I think I can reach it." Aria said, standing up.

At that moment, we see Marley, Dave, and Harry enter the team's campsite.

"So it's true. There's something out there." Marley said.

"Told you, mom. Werewolf!" Harry stated.

"Me and my team are gonna handle this situation." Linda said.

"Well you better. I don't wanna wake up to no werewolf eatin' me!" Dave said.

"I'll escort you guys back to your campsite if that makes you feel any better?" Pearl asked.

"It doesn't! We're staying here!" Dave said.

"Yes, please?" Marley asked.

"Alright. Well, at least let me help you bring your tents over here?" Pearl asked.

"Sure thing." Dave said.

Dave, Pearl, and Harry took off to the other campsite.

SpongeBob, Linda, and Debbie grouped together, putting in their coms.

"Alright, me and Debbie will do an aerial scan of the entire forest. Look out for anything weird." Linda said.

"Keep your coms on. I'll be scanning the forest too on the ground, using my super speed." SpongeBob said.

"Alright." Linda said.

Debbie flew into the sky.

Linda used her light abilities to fly into the sky as well.

SpongeBob raced off with his speed.

A little later, we see Alex collecting wood in an area nearby the campsite.

Aria approaches him.

"Thought I'd find you around here." Aria said.

"Yeah. Gathering up some more wood. Thought I'd at least keep the campsite warm while our friends look for that... thing." Alex said, visibly shaken.

"Right, well... there's something I need to tell you." Aria said.

"What is it?" Alex asked, noticing her demeanor.

Alex and Aria sat on the ground near the coconut tree.

"It's about Debbie." Aria said.

"You saw us making out?" Alex asked.

"Well, yes. But... that's not entirely what this is about." Aria said.

"What's going on?" Alex asked.

"I kissed her." Aria said.

Alex appeared confused.

"How long ago?" Alex asked.

"Last week. She wasn't into me that way." Aria said, awkwardly.

"Oh... I didn't know you liked Debbie that way." Alex said.

"When I saw you two kissing yesterday, I knew I had to tell you. If you two were getting back together, I couldn't keep this from you. You're my best friend." Aria said.

"And you're mine." Alex said, giving her a warm smile.

"Even after I kissed your girl?" Aria questioned.

"Me and Debbie weren't together when it happened and she's not my property." Alex said.

Aria smiled.

"If I was into guys, I'd marry you in a heartbeat." Aria said, joking.

Alex laughed.

"Seriously though... Debbie's lucky to have you. And you're lucky to be with someone as amazing as her." Aria said.

"Well, I don't know the status of our relationship right now... but I agree." Alex said.

Deep in the forest, we see SpongeBob come to a pause.

"Oh god..." SpongeBob said, trying to regain his breath.

Linda lands to the ground upon seeing him.

"Hey." Linda said.

"Hey. I ran all over. Didn't exactly find anything out of place." SpongeBob said.

"Same with aerial view. Something feels... magical about all of this." Linda said.

Debbie soon lands near them.

"Nothing?" SpongeBob asked.

"Nothing." Debbie said.

"Let's get back to the campsite." SpongeBob said.

Later on, as night began to fall again, Team SpongeBob and Marley's family were seen around the campfire.

"Thank you all for making extra space around your nice campfire." Marley said.

"Aww, you guys are very welcome." Debbie said, happily.

"I just wish we could of found that creature." Linda said.

"Marshmallows, anyone?" SpongeBob asked, passing them around again.

As everyone was roasting marshmallows, Sandy noticed that Aria appeared withdrawn.

"Aria, everything alright?" Sandy asked.

"Yeah..." Aria said, very passively.

"Are you sure?" Sandy asked.

"I'm gonna go to my tent. Not really in the mood for marshmallows tonight." Aria said, sitting down her stick.

"Hey Debs, you got some marshmallow on your lip." Alex said.

"Oh." Debbie said.

"I got it." Alex said, kissing Debbie.

Debbie smiled.

Everyone looked at them.

"Ohhhh, are the young lovebirds back together?" Linda asked, excitedly.

"Yeah." Debbie said, laughing.

Alex put his arm around Debbie.

Everyone clapped for the two.

"Always fun to see young lovers. Reminds me of my high school days with this one!" Dave said, pointing at Marley.

Marley blushed.

Suddenly, everyone heard a wolf's cry.

"... Unsettling." Pearl remarked.

"Anyways..." Linda said.

As everyone carried on with their conversations, Sandy witnessed Aria exiting her tent and leaving the campsite.

Aria treads deep into the forest, coming into a large opening where moonlight poured so beautifully.

"I know you're here." Aria said, seeming to be in an enchanted stated.

At that moment, the creature quickly raced toward her.

"... Hi." Aria said, as it stopped in front of her.

The creature roared slightly.

Aria tried to touch its face.

"ARIA!" a voice was heard.

Sandy came running toward them, making the creature angry.

"Back off, werewolf!" Sandy said, stinging the creature with the Jelly Bite.

The creature was hardly phased, slapping Sandy back with it's hand.

Sandy's body went flinging across the forest ground.

From the sky, Linda and Debbie shot down energy beams, as the creature quickly avoided them.

Pearl and Alex arrived, shooting arrows and lightning bolts respectively.

"GUYS STOP!" Aria yelled.

The creature raced away through the forest.

"Not this time!" SpongeBob said, using his super speed to follow after it.

SpongeBob cut off the creature, ramming it into a tree.

Debbie flew near their area, landing on the ground.

As the creature tried to ran again, Debbie snatched him back and tossed him at the tree.

"Stay awhile!" Debbie said, about to punch it.

Suddenly, a dark energy blast hit Debbie, pushing her away from the creature.

"... Aria?" Debbie asked, seeing her coming toward the creature.

"I had to stop you from killing him." Aria said.

"Him?" SpongeBob asked, speeding over.

"Yes. Him." Aria said, touching his face.

Debbie and SpongeBob looked at each other oddly.

"kcab mih mrofsnart" Aria casted a spell.

The 'creature' became a regular fish - a young man.

"Soooo, dude... are you a werewolf?" Debbie asked.

The young man laughed.

"My name is Arnold, and I am not a werewolf." Arnold said.

"Then what was going on?" SpongeBob asked.

"Someone casted a spell on you, didn't they?" Aria asked.

"An old sorceress. She was angry that I was hanging out with some friends near her cabin, so she turned us into these weird hairy creatures." Arnold said.

"That's why I sense you. I was sensing the magic you were imbued with." Aria said.

"This explains the disappearances that Marley, Dave, and Harry were talking about." Debbie said.

"Where are your friends?" SpongeBob asked.

"The spell worked pretty strangely. During the day, we would rest in a hidden cave. At night, when the moon came out... we would become active - and sometimes violent." Arnold said.

"No kidding." Debbie said, touching her cheek.

"I'm sorry." Arnold said, looking at her.

"That was you?" Debbie asked.

"Yes. From what I remember." Arnold said.

"I can help your friends like I helped you. I just need you to lead me to them." Aria said.

"Alright, thank you." Arnold said.

The next morning we see Team SpongeBob, Marley and her family, and Arnold and his friends at the team's campsite.

"Well, I'm just glad that in the end, there were no actual werewolves." Linda said.

"Bummer." Harry said, upset.

"Oh sweetie." Marley said, rubbing his arm.

"Once again, Aria... thank you for taking the spell off of us." Arnold said, with his friends agreeing.

"Yeah, next time just come to the woods to enjoy nature and to relax. Not to bug old ladies." SpongeBob told them.

"We'll take that into account." Arnold said, laughing.

"Hey... guys... where are Pearl and Linda?" Debbie asked.

"Thinking of it... I haven't seen them in about an hour." Sandy said. 

At that moment, Pearl and Linda coming running back into the campsite.

"Where were you two?" Alex asked.

"HOT SPRING!" Linda said, excitedly.

"WE FOUND IT! WE FOUND IT!" Pearl said, jumping up and down.

"No way! Big enough for everyone?" SpongeBob asked.

"YESSSS! LET'S GO!" Pearl said.

Pearl and Linda ran off.

"WAIT FOR US!" Sandy said.

Everyone rushes after them.

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days

Ep.164 "Ladies In Love"

Hotel E.V.I.L

We see Jonathan, Amy, and Brock awaiting Victoria inside the HQ's lounge.

The decor of E.V.I.L's lounge consisted of dark, Gothic colors, patterns, and styles.

After a few moments, Victoria enters the lounge, carrying all four of the Divine Jewels inside a glass case.

"Hello, my followers." Victoria said.

"Victoria, finally." Jonathan said, having gotten impatient.

"You've been a shut-in for the past two weeks. What the hell?" Amy asked.

"What Amy meant is... well, we thought you'd take some action now that you have everything you wanted. Or rather, that Triton wanted." Brock said.

"We suffered a huge loss not too long ago. Clarissa Clam is dead." Victoria said.

"We know. So sad." Jonathan said, sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Bye bye, Clammy." Amy quipped.

"Guys stop. We lost one of our own." Brock said.

"Comes with the job." Jonathan said.

"We thought the job was finished. Thanks to Sandy being our sleeper agent, we have all four Divine Jewels. Why haven't you destroyed everything yet?!?" Amy asked.

"It's not that damn simple!" Victoria said.

"What do you mean?" Jonathan asked.

"To efficiently utilize the power of the Divine Jewels, I must become one with them." Victoria said.

"I don't... I don't understand." Amy said.

"Magical coalescence." Victoria told them.

Jonathan's eyes widened.

"Victoria, you're a genius!" Jonathan said.

"Oh... wait, you're trying to merge your body with the Divine Jewels?" Amy asked.

"Yes." Victoria confirmed.

"By magic? Only problem is we have no magical assets." Amy pointed out.

"I know someone. It won't be easy to get them to help, but they will." Victoria said.

"Then we need to hit them up. The longer we wait to enact our plans, the more we run the risk of Team SpongeBob finding this base's location." Jonathan said.

"I wouldn't worry about that. Essence from the Dark Jewel is literally hiding Hotel E.V.I.L's whereabouts. No one will find us." Victoria told him.

Team SpongeBo HQ

Linda enters the lounge, seeing SpongeBob sitting back on the couch.

"No TV?" Linda asked, seeing that the TV was off.

"No, I just wanted to throw my head back." SpongeBob said, sighing.

Linda sat next to him.

"Mental health break?" Linda questioned.

"I've been watching the scans. Nothing indicating E.V.I.L's base of operations. I needed a break." SpongeBob said.

"Hey, we'll find something. We have both technology and magic to help us." Linda said.

"Thank goodness for Aria." SpongeBob said.

"... Yeah, I hate to admit it, but she's been a huge help to this team." Linda said.

"Even on a personal level." SpongeBob said, bowing his head.

"What does that mean?" Linda asked, sensing something unsaid.

"I didn't tell you this, but... Aria helped me through something hard." SpongeBob said.

"What didn't you tell me?" Linda asked.

"I was planning to tell you on the retreat, but I didn't wanna spoil the mood..." SpongeBob said.

"Well, I think the threat of werewolves did that." Linda said, with a slight laugh.

"At least until you and Pearl found the hot springs." SpongeBob said, smiling.

"Yeah, that was very relaxing. Now... tell me what's up?" Linda asked of SpongeBob.

"During the time that the team was separated, I abused alcohol." SpongeBob revealed.

"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me about this as soon as I got back?" Linda asked.

"Shame, I guess?" SpongeBob said, trembling.

"Are you... are you okay now?" Linda asked, rubbing his back.

"Yeah, I mean, the only time I've felt an urge to drink agains was... when my parents died." SpongeBob said.

"You could of succumbed, SpongeBob. I could of been there to help you through it!" Linda expressed.

"I know! And I feel foolish for not realizing that sooner. Because, you've always seen me through rough patches. You've always been my light." SpongeBob said, staring into her eyes.

Linda stared back.

SpongeBob kissed her.

"No!" Linda said, jumping up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out." SpongeBob said, standing up as well.

Linda kept her back turned.

"Linda..." SpongeBob said.

"We can't do this." Linda said, turning around to him.

"Why not?" SpongeBob asked.

"Everything we're dealing with!" Linda said.

"If the world is truly about to end, compliments to Victoria... then I don't wanna waste time. I wanna tell you that I love you. That EVERY part of me, every inch... loves you." SpongeBob expressed, shedding tears.

Linda closed her eyes.

"What about Sandy? Are you sure she's not the one you want?" Linda questioned.

"I love Sandy, always will. But I'm not in love with her. That's always been a place in my heart that you've occupied." SpongeBob admitted.

"I need time to sort out how I feel. Okay?" Linda asked.

"Okay." SpongeBob said.

Linda exited the lounge.

In the library, we see Aria at a desk, touching and drawing energy from the crystal ball she took from her mother's storage house.

"Aria?" Debbie asked, walking in.

Aria came out of a trance-like state, taking her hands off the crystal ball.

"Sorry! I did't mean to interrupt." Debbie said.

"It's fine." Aria said.

"I just came to see if you wanted to watch a movie." Debbie said.

"Sorry, but SpongeBob and Linda are counting on me." Aria said.

"To do what exactly? That wasn't really clear to me when it was said at our meeting this morning." Debbie said.

"Well, if we're not having luck tracking E.V.I.L's base of operations through technology, then maybe they're covering it under magic.' Aria said.

"Oh, and the crystal ball imparts psychic and magical energy to sorcerors." Debbie remembered.

"Exactly, so I'm using the crystal ball to scan for E.V.I.L by trying to pick up on energies released from the Dark Jewel in particular." Aria explained.

"You're brilliant!" Debbie said.

"I try." Aria said, blushing.

"Hey... so, you're okay with me and Alex, right?" Debbie asked.

"Oh, if I haven't been vocal enough about it, I'm sorry. I'm totally fine with it. I'm just glad you didn't drop me as a friend." Aria said.

"Because you have a crush on me? No way! Come here." Debbie said, extending her arms.

Aria got up and hugged Debbie.

Hailey's Bar, Mainland

Sandy and Linda were seen at a bar, as their drinks arrived.

"Umm, thanks for inviting me out tonight." Sandy said.

"Yeah, yeah." Linda said, nervously sipping her drink.

"The gesture was... nice. But, why?" Sandy questioned, with a laugh.

"I thought we were friends now." Linda said, awkwardly.

"No, no... we are. It just seems like there's something you're not telling me." Sandy said, staring at Linda.

"SpongeBob kissed me earlier." Linda revealed.

Sandy just nodded.

"You... aren't mad?" Linda asked.

"No. That's fine." Sandy said.

"I told him I needed time to think." Linda said.

"You're not hurting me, Linda. I know that what SpongeBob feels for you is... just another level. He couldn't love anyone romantically the way he loves you." Sandy admitted.

"You've crushed on him forever. This has to be hard?" Linda asked her.

"I've come to realize something over the past year. I'm not what SpongeBob needs. Not with all my flaws and lack of moral convictions." Sandy said.

"Sandy, don't do that to yourself." Linda said, touching her arm.

"It's true. I was never meant for the fairytale happily ever after. The type of ending where I go off with the handsome guy and live a life of family and safety and normality." Sandy said.

Linda nodded.

"... And I'm not saying that I don't deserve those things, or that I will never have them. I'm just saying that my life right now doesn't fit that. I still have lots of self exploration to do." Sandy admitted.

"You're a strong woman, you know that?" Linda complimented her.

"And by not denying yourself love, so are you." Sandy told her. "Don't pass up on something great with SpongeBob. Take it and cherish it." Sandy said.

Linda nodded, shedding a tear.

At that moment, a man walked over to them.

He was dressed in a black outfit, carrying a quiver of heart shaped arrows on his back.

"My name is Brady." the man said, sitting next to them at the bar.

"My name is 'we don't care'." Sandy said, sipping her drink.

"How about some hot lesbian action?" Brady said to them.

Linda threw her drink on him.

"HEY!" Brady said, standing up.

Everyone began to look at the three.

"Get your lesbophobic ass out of here before I throw my drink on you too." Sandy said.

"I'm not homophobic!" Brady said.

"Fetishizing lesbians is lesbophobia. They don't exist in service of men." Linda said.

"And we're not lesbians, so we're not going to give each other any hot action. Especially not in front of you." Sandy said, chewing him out.

"Walk away." Linda added.

"I just seek to help people find love. You two can be lonely witches for the rest of your lives." Brady said, leaving the bar through the back exit.

"Wait, wait, wait... he is not gonna get away with that." Sandy said.

"Lets teach him a lesson." Linda said.

Linda and Sandy followed him out the back.

"Hey!" Sandy yelled.

"Where'd he go?" Linda questioned, as the area was very dark.

Brady steps out of the shadows, quickly shoot two arrows at the ladies.

"OUCH!" both girls yelled, being struck in the arm.

"Cupid's work here is done!" Brady said, taking off.

Linda and Sandy pulled the arrows out of their arms.

"We need to catch- " Sandy said, stopping mid-sentence.

Sandy and Linda looked at each other.

"I've never noticed how absolutelty beautiful you are." Linda stated.

"Same here..." Sandy said, stroking her hand.

----

Duma's Cottage, Karate Island Forest

Duma entered her cottage late at night, with bags of groceries in hand.

The lights in her home were turned off, as she struggled to see through the darkness.

"I should really move into a city, so I won't have to drive so far out." Duma said, shaking her head.

Duma sat her groceries on the table, as the lights flickered on.

Across the room, Victoria sat on Duma's couch.

"Hello, Duma." Victoria said, creepily.

"Oh my god. You're the Ice Queen." Duma said, slightly frantic.

"In the flesh." Victoria said, standing up.

"What are you doing here?" Duma asked.

"I know that you were an associate of Azarah Alamone. Helped her in a lot of her shady antics." Victoria said.

"That's all in the past now." Duma said.

"You mean you don't think about world domination anymore?" Victoria questioned.

"After what I saw happen to Mainland in 2016... no. The reality of it was terrifying. It was destroyed to bits." Duma said.

"And I'm going to do the same to not just this island, but also the rest of the world. Do you want to join me or die alongside everyone else?" Victoria asked her.

Duma sighed.

"What do you need me to do?" Duma asked.

"Two things. But for now, we'll focus on the first one. Debbie Rechid." Victoria said.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

The next morning, we see Pearl walking down the hallways, yawning.

As Pearl enters the lounge to watch TV, she sees Sandy and Linda making out on the couch.

Pearl gasps, but attempts to stay quiet.

Pearl overhears someone else coming down the hall.

"... Pearl?" SpongeBob asked, seeing her running out of the lounge.

"SpongeBob!" Pearl whispered.

"What? Why are you whispering? It's too early for shenanigans." SpongeBob said.

"You're gonna wanna see this!" Pearl said, grabbing SpongeBob along.

"Pearl, what in the world!" SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob and Pearl arrive in the lounge, as SpongeBob sees Linda and Sandy kissing.

"OH MY GOD!" SpongeBob shouts out loud.

Linda and Sandy stop kissing, turning to their friends.

"Is something the matter?" Linda asked.

"You guys are... KISSING!" SpongeBob said, out of his mind.

"Oh yeah. We're in love." Sandy said, smiling.

Linda grabs Sandy, pulling her in for another kiss.

Pearl and SpongeBob look at each other in disbelief.

Minutes later, SpongeBob and Pearl round up Aria, Alex, and Debbie for a meet in the mission room.

"So... Sandy and Linda are in the lounge right now, making out?" Debbie asked.

"Yes." Pearl said.

"Wow." Alex said.

"Why does this have to be weird to everyone?" Aria questioned.

"Because they're not gay." Pearl said.

"How heteronormative of you, Pearl. They could be bisexual." Aria said.

"I doubt it." SpongeBob said.

"Aria, we know our friends better than you do." Pearl said.

Aria just huffed.

"It doesn't seem natural. It's like they're under something." SpongeBob said.

"A spell?" Alex suggested.

"Yeah." Pearl said.

"Maybe Aria can detect any magical auras emitting from them?" Debbie suggested.

"Fine, I'll do so." Aria said, walking off.

"Where were they last night?" Debbie asked.

"I believe they went to a bar." SpongeBob said.

"Maybe something happened there?" Debbie asked.

"We'll check it out." Pearl said.

Suddenly, Alex began laughing.

"Dude, what's funny?" SpongeBob asked.

"It's just that... they went from fighting over you to making out with each other!" Alex said, as his laughing increased.

"Yeah real funny, Alex." SpongeBob said, annoyed.

"It is kinda funny." Pearl said, snickering.

Debbie began laughing as well.

"Guys! Goodness!" SpongeBob said, with his cheeks turning red.

At that moment, Aria returned to the room.

"Anything?" Pearl questioned.

"No magical influence. Sorry." Aria said.

Linda and Sandy arrive in the room.

"Okay, this meeting about us needs to stop." Sandy said.

"We're just trying to figure this all out." Pearl said.

"There's nothing to figure out." Linda said.

Sandy and Linda held hands.

"If you guys are too homophobic to deal with this... then we don't want anything to do with you all." Sandy said.

"Come on, babe. We have plans today." Linda said.

The two headed out.

"Maybe we are being ignorant?" Debbie suggested.

"No one is being ignorant! We just know our friends." Pearl said.

"That's what you keep saying, Pearl! But, sexuality can be incredibly fluid. You've assumed that they've been straight this whole time." Aria stated.

"Cause they have been!" Pearl argued, passionately.

"Yeah, tell that to the 45 year old male politicians that get caught in sex scandals with teenage boys!" Aria argued.

"You guys need to cool down." SpongeBob said.

"Why do those labels have to be a thing anyway? Straight, gay, bisexual. Why can't we all just experience love without them? Or without judgment?" Alex asked.

"Because some people will judge anyway. Like Pearl." Aria said, getting in her face.

"Are you calling me homophobic?" Pearl asked.

"Yes." Aria said.

"Fine, I'll do you one better. You're a murderer, a sociopath. The only reason anyone tolerates you on this team is because you vaguely remind us of Shin. In reality, you're a cheap and poor imitation who deserves to be in prison, because you're also a terrorist." Pearl said, coldly.

Debbie, SpongeBob, and Alex were shocked by her cruelty.

Aria sheds a tear, running out of the room.

"Oh my god..." Pearl said, realizing how callous she was.

"Pearl, you were my first friend on this team and I love you, but I cannot condone the way you just talked to Aria." Debbie said, leaving the room.

Moments later, Debbie finds Aria in the library room.

"Hey, are you okay?" Debbie asked.

"I'm fine." Aria said.

Suddenly, the crystal ball began glowing blue.

"What's happening?" Debbie asked.

"I don't know... but I feel like I should touch it." Aria said.

Aria touched the crystal ball, as a psychic energy took over her.

"ARIA!" Debbie shouted, running over to her desk.

"I'm fine!" Aria said, pulling away.

"What happened?" Debbie asked.

"I was sent a psychic message - from Duma." Aria said.

"Cool. What does she want?" Debbie asked.

"She asked for a meet up. She's in some kind of trouble." Aria said.

"Where?" Debbie asked.

"Her cabin near the Mystic Caves." Aria said.

"How about I go? You're in no condition to deal with this." Debbie said.

"I'm fine." Aria stated.

"Let me do this for you." Debbie said.

"Okay." Aria said, nodding.

----

Hotel E.V.I.L

Jonathan approached Victoria in her study.

"Jonathan, always a pleasure. Some of the time." Victoria said.

"Lets not start with the barbs. How did your meeting with Duma go?" Jonathan asked.

"She's down." Victoria said.

"That easily?" Jonathan asked.

"I told her this world was going to freeze to death. Not in those exact words, but I think I managed to get the point across." Victoria stated.

"And you gave her an ultimatum. Join us or die with the rest." Jonathan filled in.

"Exactly." Victoria stated.

"Has she contacted Debbie yet?" Jonathan asked.

"Very soon the Universal Guardian will be out of commission. The only person in the world who could dare to stop me." Victoria said.

"Once you... uh... merge with the Divine Jewels." Jonathan said.

"Coalescence." Victoria corrected.

"I did my research on magical coalescence. It's incredibly dangerous." Jonathan said.

"I'm not stupid. I know the risks." Victoria said.

"Does Duma know the other half of what you want yet? Magical coalescence?" Jonathan inquired.

"Saving that for a little later." Victoria told him.

----

Duma's Cottage

Debbie knocked on Duma's door.

Opening it, Duma was surprised to see her.

"... Debbie? I was expecting Aria." Duma said.

"Aria's a bit tied up. I came in her place." Debbie said, walking in.

"That makes this easier." Duma whispered.

"What was that?" Debbie asked.

"Oh, nothing." Duma said, quickly.

"It was nice of you to give Aria that key to her mother's storage house." Debbie said.

"That was no big deed." Duma said.

"Kinda was. The trip there ended up being very therapeutic for Aria." Debbie said.

"Oh?" Duma asked.

"Yeah, it helped her deal with her mother once and for all. She may come from Azarah, but she isn't Azarah. I think that was the most important thing she took out of it." Debbie said.

"Well, I'm very glad." Duma said, feeling guilty.

"I know you don't wanna hear anymore of my rambling, so... what did you need help with?" Debbie asked.

Duma walks over to her table, grabbing a small vase jar.

"I'm sorry." Duma said.

"Why are you sorry...?" Debbie questioned.

Duma opens the jar, as a magic mist is released.

Debbie inhales the mist, beginning to feel sleepy.

"Wha- what di-d you do?" Debbie questioned, losing her balance.

"I didn't want this, but none of us can stop what's coming." Duma said, sadly.

Debbie passed out on her floor.

Duma closed the jar, gathered some personal belongings, and left.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

Pearl and SpongeBob arrive at the entrance of the HQ.

"That must be Sandy and Linda coming back." SpongeBob said.

"Or Debbie?" Pearl questioned.

Sandy and Linda arrive inside, with Linda carrying a baby in her arms.

"... Uh guys? Whose baby is that?" Pearl asked.

"Ours." Sandy said, putting her arm around Linda.

"What?" SpongeBob and Pearl both asked.

"We're fostering him!" Linda said.

"Soon we'll be able to adopt him, and he'll officially be our son." Sandy said, kissing Linda and the baby.

"GUYS!" Alex shouted, running toward them.

Alex glanced at Linda, Sandy, and the baby.

"Uhh... hi Sandy, Linda, and... baby?" Alex questioned.

"Alex, what is it?" SpongeBob asked.

"I... UH... need to see you two." Alex said, grabbing onto Pearl and SpongeBob.

Alex, Pearl, and SpongeBob arrived in the mission room.

"What is this about? Did you not see us dealing with this insane Sandy-Linda situation?" Pearl asked.

"They're about to adopt a baby!" SpongeBob said.

"That's what this is about." Alex said, pulling up an article on the database.

SpongeBob and Pearl looked on.

"A report about a stolen serum from Chrydale Labs." Alex began.

"What kind of serum?" Pearl asked.

"The scientists were experimenting with Oxytocin." Alex said.

"The love hormone." SpongeBob said, nodding.

"They were working on a new treatment for people with depressive disorders, but an insane man wielding bow and arrows managed to steal their concoction." Alex explained.

"This archer must of laced his arrows with this serum." Pearl guessed.

"And shot Sandy and Linda - you're right!" SpongeBob agreed.

"We need to pay a little visit to that bar Sandy and Linda went to the other night." Pearl suggested.

----

Hailey's Bar, Mainland

Pearl and Alex enter the bar.

"... Oh my god." Pearl said.

The two witnessed everyone inside the bar making out.

"That guy is definitely here." Alex said.

Across the room, Brady was seen coming out of the bathroom.

"That's him!" Pearl said, whipping out her bow and arrow.

Brady spotted the two Team SpongeBob members, quickly running out the back exit.

Pearl and Alex chased after him into the alley way.

"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! Stand down!" Brady said, pointing his own bow and arrow.

"What you did to our friends, and what you did to those people in there... you need to reverse it!" Pearl said.

"Can't do that! My mission in life is to help people find love. That's why I call myself Cupid." Brady said.

"... Aaaaand what's your real name? Cause I'm not calling you Cupid." Pearl said.

"Oh, Brady. But ANYWAY... what's so wrong with helping people find love?" Brady asked.

"Because it's not real. And love should always be real." Alex stated.

Brady quickly shot out an explosive arrow at the two.

The blast pushed back Pearl and Alex.

"He's getting away!" Alex said.

Brady used a grappling hook arrow to scale the top of a nearby building.

Pearl used a similar arrow to make her way up to the roof.

"You're not getting away!" Pearl yelled.

Pearl shot several arrows at Brady, as he avoided them.

"Fine, you asked for this!" Brady said, running towards Pearl.

The two battled each other with their bows, as Pearl managed to kick Brady's out of his hand.

As Brady slid across the rooftop to pick it up, Pearl shot an explosive arrow in his direction.

The blast sent Brady flying off the roof.

Before hitting the ground, Brady was caught by a super-speeding SpongeBob.

"TH-ANK YO-U for the rescue." Brady said, out of breath.

From behind, Alex shot a small electric blast at his head.

Brady passed out from the shock.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

At the base, Pearl approached Aria in the library room.

"Hey..." Pearl said, seeing her using the crystal ball.

Aria paused her witchcraft. 

"Hello, Pearl." Aria said.

"I'm sorry." Pearl said.

"Why? You were right. Sandy and Linda weren't in love for real." Aria said, making her way to a book shelf.

Pearl walked over to her.

"Yeah, but I shouldn't of exploded on you like I did." Pearl said.

Aria nodded.

"The fact that I got so heated about the idea that Sandy and Linda might actually be in love means that somewhere inside me, I have some homophobic tendencies. I promise you that going forward in life, I will always make sure to check myself for biases." Pearl explained.

"It took a lot for you to check your biases and admit to yourself that you might have some internalized homophobia. So, thank you for that." Aria said.

"And about what I said... I didn't mean any of it. I was trying to hurt you, because I felt backed into a corner. A corner where everyone could see that I was being a little heteronormative." Pearl said.

"I forgive you." Aria said, with a smile.

Pearl and Aria hugged.

"So, any news on Cupid?" Aria asked. 

"Lets go see if he's awake, shall we?" Pearl asked.

"We shall." Aria said.

Aria and Pearl made their way to the mission room.

In the mission room, SpongeBob and Alex surrounded Brady - who was tied up in a chair.

"I hope you didn't fry his brain!" SpongeBob said to Alex.

"Dude, come on... I know how to work my own powers." Alex said, huffing.

"Uh huh." SpongeBob said, playfully rolling his eyes.

At that moment, Brady awokened.

"WHERE AM I?" Brady asked, fidgeting.

"Welcome to the land of the living, Brady." Pearl said.

"YOU!" Brady said.

"You're in our HQ." SpongeBob said.

"What do you all want from me?" Brady asked.

"To fix our friends." Pearl said.

"Why do you shoot people with that serum in the first place?" Aria asked.

"Love was in short supply for me growing up. My parents divorced when I was six, and after that none of us were quite the same. My parents were never loving, and I never got to experience a loving environment. I thought I could change that if I got my hands on the serum that Chrydale Labs was working on." Brady revealed.

"Good sap story, but what you did was... well, illegal." Alex said.

"Are you going to take me to prison?" Brady asked.

"It might not get that far. That depends on you." SpongeBob said.

"What do you mean?" Brady asked.

"How do we reverse what you did to our friends?" SpongeBob asked.

"And those people at the bar?" Pearl added.

"You're asking for an antidote?" Brady questioned.

"Can you provide one or not?" SpongeBob asked.

"I'd need a lab." Brady said.

"Luckily we have that." Pearl said.

At that moment, Sandy and Linda walked in.

"What the hell?" Sandy asked.

Pearl quickly shot two tranqualizer arrows at Sandy and Linda, causing them to pass out.

"Get started on that damn antidote!" Pearl said to Brady.

SpongeBob and Alex untied him.

Hours later, we see Linda and Sandy waking up on separate medical tables.

"Why am I on a medical table?" Sandy asked, sitting up.

"Oh god, what happened?" Linda asked.

SpongeBob, Pearl, Brady, and Alex (also holding the baby) surround the two.

"Looks like my antidote worked. I'm free to go!" Brady said.

"No you're not!" Aria said.

"Worth a try." Brady said, quietly.

"I don't... I don't remember a thing." Sandy said.

"Yeah, we were at a bar... and then nothing." Linda said, rubbing her head.

"This guys here made you two fall in love." Alex said, pointing to Brady.

"In love?" Sandy questioned.

"Oh god, I remember being shot with an arrow." Linda said.

"What did we do?" Sandy asked.

"You two made out. A lot." SpongeBob said, wanting to laugh.

"That isn't funny!" Sandy said.

Linda began breaking out into laughter.

"Actually, it kinda is. How ironic." Linda said, slapping her knee.

"Oh my god, shut up!" Sandy said, chuckling a bit.

At that moment, the baby began crying.

"I think he's hungry, guys!" Alex said.

"Is that... is that... a baby?" Linda asked, looking pale.

"Guys... don't tell me..." Sandy started.

"You guys are foster parents, yayyyy!" SpongeBob said, trying to smooth it over.

Linda and Sandy were shocked.

"I'm gonna be sick!" Linda said, running to a bathroom.

Later on, Alex is seen entering Aria's room.

"Hey." Alex said.

"Hey." Aria said, sitting on her bed.

"So, Pearl is taking Brady to jail, SpongeBob left to cure the people from the bar, and Sandy and Linda are currently returning that cute little baby back to the fostering agency." Alex told her.

"Looks like everything ended well." Aria said, smiling.

"I heard that you and Pearl made up." Alex said.

"Yeah, we had a good conversation." Aria confirmed.

"Hey, what's taking Debbie so long?" Alex asked.

Aria's eyes widened.

"She's been gone all day. I'm just realizing that!" Aria said, concerned.

"We need to check in on her. She hasn't answered any of my texts." Alex said.

Aria jumped off her bed.

"Come on." Aria said.

----

Duma's Cottage

Aria and Alex arrive at Duma's cottage.

"DUMA! DUMA!" Aria said, in between knocking on the door.

"Watch out, I got a bad feeling." Alex said, nudging Aria aside.

Alex shot a lightning blast at the door, as the two entered.

"OH NO!" Aria said, seeing Debbie's body laid out on the floor.

"Okay seriously, can this team go five minutes without being incapacitated somehow?" Alex asked, bending down.

"Debbie! Debbie." Alex called out to her.

"We need to call the team. Whatever's going on... I think this is just the start." Aria said.

"Or the end." Alex said, worried.

Notes:

  • Sandy and Linda (ironically) fall in love after being shot by arrows filled with an experimental drug.
  • Victoria reveals her plans to merge her body with the Divine Jewels - a process called 'Magical Coalescence'.
  • Victoria convinces Duma to help her with her plans.
  • Duma lures Debbie over to her cottage, where she releases a magic mist onto her that leaves her incapacitated.

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days 

Ep.165 "Sweet Dreams, Debbie"

Hotel E.V.I.L

The members of E.V.I.L and Duma all gathered inside Victoria's study.

An acolyte passed around glasses of wine to them.

"Let us toast - to an upcoming victory." Victoria said, raising her glass.

"To victory." Jonathan said, smiling.

Everyone clinked their glasses together, except for Duma, who stood away from the group.

"What's the matter, Duma? Without you, this couldn't work." Amy said.

"Amy's right. You released the mist into Debbie, putting her out of the count." Jonathan added.

"Now, no one on this planet is strong enough to overcome me." Victoria said.

"What does that mean? What are you planning?" Duma asked.

"Would you all leave me and Duma alone for a few minutes?" Victoria asked.

"Fine, we'll take this party to the lounge." Brock said, gulping his wine.

Everyone exited.

"You didn't have to send everyone away." Duma told her.

"I did. It was time we had this talk, in private." Victoria said.

"What talk?" Duma questioned.

"The other half of what I want from you." Victoria said.

"Right, cause doing what I did to the Universal Guardian wasn't enough." Duma said, guilty.

"I need you to put your magic abilities to use. On me." Victoria told her.

"Umm, okay???" Duma said, confused.

"Duma, I'm referring to magical coalescence." Victoria stated.

"Oh my god! You wanna merge with the Divine Jewels!" Duma guessed, shocked beyond belief.

"I've done my research." Victoria said.

"Then you should know that mortals merging their bodies with sources of magical energy is incredibly dangerous. It could cause destruction - not just to you, but to your surroundings." Duma stressed.

"I have no other options. If I merge with the Divine Jewels, I'll be able to harness their power to the fullest extent. I'll be able to take over the universe." Victoria said.

"No, Victoria... you'll be the universe." Duma revealed.

Victoria raised her eyebrows.

"But that's what you want, isn't it? To be in control of everything literally." Duma realized.

"Smart girl. Now you're catching on." Victoria said.

"I can't do this. Helping you was a mistake!" Duma said.

"It's already too late! You're only choice now is to give me what I want. Refusal will result in your quick, merciless death. Why would you choose that when I offered you the chance to live as a Goddess?" Victoria questioned.

Duma went into deep thought.

"Think it over. I have other business to tend to today." Victoria told her, walking away.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

Dozens of F.I.N agents were seen at the base.

SpongeBob and Director Payne entered the HQ's medical wing.

F.I.N's top doctors, along with Sandy, were all attempting to help Debbie wake up.

"Sandy, any progress?" SpongeBob asked.

"No, give us some space." Sandy said.

Aria and Alex entered.

"Please tell me you're doing everything you guys can!" Alex asked, emotional.

"Alex, I know you're worried about her, but they don't need this right now, buddy." SpongeBob said, giving him a supporting glance.

"I'm assuming Aria tried to help already with her magic?" Payne asked.

"Duma released a 'magic mist' onto Debbie. I've pulled out the mist, but she still didn't wake up." Aria explained.

"Exactly why we called you guys. We figured F.I.N's brightest would be able to find the problem." SpongeBob said.

"If it's not magical, than it has to be something biological, right?" Aria asked.

Sandy and the team of doctors stopped.

"What's going on? Why... why are you guys stopping?" Alex asked, nearing tears.

"Alex, I'm sorry..." Sandy said.

"Sand... what's going on?" SpongeBob asked.

"There's nothing medically wrong with her." Sandy said.

"So, there's nothing me and my team can do. Except to keep monitoring her brain scans." Dr. Emily said.

Payne pulled SpongeBob over to a corner.

"This is a problem. With Debbie incapacitated, I'm afraid that Vuctoria may make her first major move." Payne said.

"We're still looking for E.V.I.L's head of operations. We'll find them soon." SpongeBob said.

"Before Victoria starts reigning down hell of this world? I don't know." Payne said, doubting him.

Alex walked over to Debbie, grasping her hand.

"Come back to me, Debs." Alex said.

Aria put her hand on his shoulder.

The two look at Debbie's brain scans.

"I wonder what's going on inside her head." Aria questioned.

"Sweet dreams, Debbie." Alex said, brushing his hand over her forehead.

----

Debbie's Mind

Debbie is seen sleeping in her bedroom at her home in Bikini Bottom.

Slowly, she awakens.

Debbie's parents, Felicia and Howard, entered her room.

"There she is!" Felicia said.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." Howard joked.

Debbie sat up, very confused.

"What's going on?" Debbie asked.

"What do you mean, honey?" Felicia asked.

"Why am I back home?" Debbie asked.

Felicia and Howard gave each other a worried glance.

"What aren't you telling me?" Debbie asked.

"Sweetie, we all were in a car accident two years ago. You fell into a coma." Felicia revealed.

"You're vitals began improving within the last six months, and eventually the doctors let you be moved into your room at home." Howard said.

"They thought it'd be less traumatizing when you woke up." Felicia told her.

"No... No... the last two years, I've discovered that I'm the Universal Guardian. I've worked with Team SpongeBob. I've even been to Karate Island, and different universes." Debbie said, sure of it all.

"Debbie... sweetheart." Felicia said, shedding tears.

"You were dreaming, while inside your coma." Howard said.

"None of that was real." Felicia said.

"Oh my god. Oh my god!" Debbie said, crying.

Felicia and Howard got on the bed, wrapping her arms around her.

Debbie embraced her parents' touch.

Hotel E.V.I.L

In the living room, Victoria and Jonathan met with a strange man.

"I'm glad Amy and Brock retrieved you for me, Todd." Victoria said.

Victoria poured tea for the three of them.

"Thank you for the tea." Todd said, accepting a cup.

"It's to our understanding that you were a former high ranking member of the Kong Fu Heckfire Clan." Jonathan said.

"Amy's filled you in." Todd said, sipping his tea.

"Amy told us that she assisted the Clan on a few occasions." Victoria said.

"Exactly why we sent her to retrieve an old contact from there." Jonathan said.

"You guys should know that the Clan is basically no more. So many of us died or were put in jail. Our leader, Impotent, even succumbed to defeat." Todd said.

"But there are a few scatters out there, correct? I mean, you're one of them." Victoria said.

"True, but we're not active in any prominent way. After losing Impotent - " Todd started.

" - You don't need him. You have me now." Victoria said.

"So what are you asking?" Todd questioned.

"I want you to reassemble what's left of the Clan." Victoria said.

"You're after our impressive fighting skills." Todd realized.

"You guys did give Team SpongeBob a run for it's money for an entire year." Victoria stated.

"True." Todd said, nodding.

"Then join us in our efforts to vanquish them once and for all." Jonathan said.

"What do we get in return?" Todd asked.

"To live." Victoria stated, chillingly.

Team SpongeBob HQ

In the lounge, Sandy sees Agent Clemmons pouring a glass of wine.

"Hey, didn't I kick your ass last year?" Sandy asked.

"Uh... yes." Clemmons said, awkwardly.

"So then why are you drinking my team's wine?" Sandy asked, walking toward him.

"I wanted to apologize for that." Clemmons said.

"The wine?" Sandy asked.

"No. For what happened last year." Clemmons said.

Sandy moaned and rolled her eyes.

"I'm serious. I've already given Bonnie an apology, and I'd like to extend that to you. I was my worst self a year ago. I took anger management classes, started deconstructing my toxic masculinity, and even sat in on a couple of feminist lectures." Clemmons revealed.

"Your point?" Sandy asked.

"I'm not the man I was before. In fact, I'm more a man now than I've ever been. Before, I thought I had to beat down women to be powerful." Clemmons told her.

"And now?" Sandy asked.

"Now I realize that women and men are equals. And we're stronger together." Clemmons said.

"Not everything is about strength." Sandy said.

"I know I still have a long way to go. I'll get there, I promise." Clemmons said.

"Don't promise me. Promise yourself." Sandy said, walking away.

In the mission room, Pearl was seen approaching Linda.

"Hey." Linda said.

"Hey. Bad news about Debs." Pearl said.

"Oh no.." Linda said, upset.

"They can't figure out what's wrong with her." Pearl said.

"It's the freaking mist! It's magic." Linda said, sure of it.

"No traces of it are left in Debbie. Aria made sure of that." Pearl said.

"But she's still not waking up." Linda said.

"Exactly." Pearl said.

"Everything alright?" SpongeBob asked, walking in.

"I'm gonna take a little breather in my room." Pearl said, walking off.

"We're both really worried about Debbie." Linda said.

"Yeah, join the club. I don't like our chances without her on the battlefield." SpongeBob said.

"It's funny... we went from protecting her to us needing her protection." Linda said.

"That is ironic." SpongeBob said, thinking it over.

"This is real, isn't it?" Linda asked.

"What is?" SpongeBob questioned.

"The end of days." Linda said.

SpongeBob sighed.

"If the world really is in danger of ending... I need to let you know something before it's too late." Linda said.

"What?" SpongeBob asked.

Linda kissed SpongeBob.

"... Linda?" SpongeBob questioned, backing up.

"I love you - with all of me. From the very beginning, you were the reason why I wasn't afraid to shine. You're my inspiration... and my hero." Linda told him.

SpongeBob looked lovingly at her.

"You remind me of all the best parts of myself. I am, have always been, and always will be utterly, completely, shamelessly consumed with you. You're my queen, my Lightress." SpongeBob told her.

"Then marry me, SpongeBob." Linda said, shedding tears.

"... Are you serious?" SpongeBob asked.

Linda got down on one knee.

"It doesn't get much more serious than one knee. I said marry me, SpongeBob. Will you?" Linda asked, as her tears ran down her neck.

"I will." SpongeBob said, crying himself.

Linda got up, as the two began making out.

In the hallways, Sandy and Dr. Emily ran into Aria and Alex.

"Guys, have you seen SpongeBob or Linda?" Sandy asked.

"I think they're in the mission room." Aria said.

"Please tell me you have some good news?" Alex asked.

"We do." Sandy said.

"Though, we can't tell if it's good news or... worse." Emily said.

"Just please get out with it." Alex said.

SpongeBob and Linda walked down the hall, holding hands.

Sandy and the others noticed them.

SpongeBob and Linda release their hands from each other.

"What's going on?" SpongeBob asked.

"Dr. Emily and Sandy were about to tell us something in regards to Debbie... hopefully." Aria said.

"We looked at scans of Debbie's from when she was being treated at F.I.N." Emily said.

"From the gas attack carried out by Sandy? Under possession, of course." Aria said.

"Yes. There were differences between those scans and the scans of her mind today." Emily said.

"What differences?" Linda asked.

"Her scans today showed elevated levels of corticotropin releasing factor - or CRF." Sandy said.

"What is CRF?" Alex asked.

"The stress hormone." Emily said.

"The reason we get scared or fearful." Sandy added.

"We're thinking the mist had a component to it that raises CRF to substantial amounts." Emily said.

"How does this explain why my girlfriend isn't waking up?" Alex asked, getting emotional.

"Debbie might be afraid to wake up. Psychologically speaking." Sandy explained.

"You're saying that her own self is the reason she's not waking up?" Aria asked.

"Yes. Her scans also show that she is dreaming, quite heavily." Sandy revealed.

"If only we could get into her dreams." Linda said.

"Maybe we can." Aria said.

"That was a joke." Linda clarified.

"Doesn't mean it can't be a reality." Aria said, in deep thought.

"Aria, what do you have planned?" Sandy asked.

"I need to look over a section in my spellbook. Meet me in the medical wing in about a half hour." Aria said to everyone.

As Aria walked away, everyone began wondering what she had up her sleeve.

Debbie's Mind

Inside Debbie's dream, we see her sitting down for an early dinner with her family.

"The three of us, sitting down for dinner once again." Felicia said, happily.

"It's been a long time coming." Howard said.

Debbie shed a tear.

"Aww, she's emotional." Felicia said to Howard.

"It's just... I had such an awful coma dream. The past two years that I thought I lived were filled with death and destruction and loss." Debbie said, breathing heavy.

"My poor baby." Felicia said.

Howard touched Debbie's hand.

"I'm so glad that none of it was real. That I get to be home with you guys. That I'm safe." Debbie said.

"Must of been some dream." Howard said.

"Oh, it really was. I was a Universal Guardian. It was my duty to protect the world." Debbie said.

"Oh?" Felicia asked.

"Yeah, but it was just so much. Near the end of the dream, the end of the world seemed so close. I failed - or at least I was scared that I was going to." Debbie told them.

"You know what that really meant, sweetie?" Felicia asked.

"What?" Debbie asked.

"That meant you were coming out of your coma. Your own mind, your worst fears told you that you were gonna fail. But guess what? You didn't. You woke up." Felicia said, giving her a proud look.

Debbie smiled at her mother.

Team SpongeBob HQ

Team SpongeBob, Dr. Emily, and Director Payne grouped inside the medical wing, as Aria was seen at Debbie's bedside.

"What's this plan of yours?" Sandy asked.

"I'm going to use magic to enter Debbie's dreams." Aria said.

"You can do that?" Alex asked.

"There's a form of sorcery called 'Magical Coalescence' - merging yourself with something or someone else." Aria said.

"Years ago, your brother told me of something like this." SpongeBob said.

"What did he say?" Aria asked.

"That it was dangerous." SpongeBob said.

"Entering another person's dreams is a simplified form of magical coalescence. Only labelled as such due to the fact that the sorcerer has to combine their consciousness with the sleeper's consciousness." Aria said.

"So you're saying this isn't dangerous?" Payne asked.

"I'm saying that everything will be alright." Aria said.

"IF you can even wake Debbie up." Sandy said.

"Let's have a little more faith than that." Linda said.

"Linda's right. You can do this, Aria." SpongeBob said, nodding.

"You really think I can pull her out?" Aria asked.

"You pulled me out of one of the darkest chapters of my life. This will be a piece of cake." SpongeBob said, giving her a warm smile.

Aria smiled back.

"Without further ado..." Aria said.

Aria put her hand over Debbie's forehead, and began uttering a spell.

Debbie's Mind

Debbie and her parents were watching TV in the living room.

"More popcorn?" Felicia asked, passing the bowl to Debbie.

"Thank you, mom." Debbie said, taking the bowl.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Howard said.

Howard opened the door, seeing Aria.

"Hello..." Aria said, confused.

"How are you?" Howard asked.

"I'm here for... Debbie." Aria said.

"Debbie... there's a young woman here to see you." Howard said.

Debbie and Felicia stood up.

"Oh, Howard... probably an old friend of Debbie's looking to check in on her condition. Let's give them some privacy." Felicia said.

Felicia and Howard went upstairs.

Debbie was shocked to see Aria standing before her.

"Debbie!" Aria said, with relief.

"Aria? What are you doing here?" Debbie asked.

"I've come to take you back." Aria said, with a chuckle.

"Back where?" Debbie asked.

Aria was confused.

"Back to reality." Aria replied.

"This is reality." Debbie said.

"No, Debbie... this is a dream." Aria argued.

"The dream was me being on Karate Island, being the Universal Guardian, and almost letting the world end." Debbie said, with a nervous laugh.

"Debbie, you were exposed to a magic mist. Luckily, I was able to pull it from your mind." Aria said.

"If this is true, why am I not 'awake' or whatever." Debbie asked.

"Because it triggered a substantial release of the stress hormone in your brain. Debbie... you're the one keeping yourself trapped here." Aria explained.

"I'm not TRAPPED. I'm SAFE. Finally." Debbie said, turning her back.

Aria sighed.

"... And so is the world." Debbie said.

"It's not safe, because you're not in it." Aria said, shedding tears.

"STOP SAYING THAT!" Debbie yelled, turning around. "STOP trying to convince me that this is a dream!" Debbie said.

"Okay, so Debbie... if this is reality, why am I here?" Aria asked her.

"Good question, you need to leave." Debbie said, pointing to the door.

"You're not being reasonable! But it's okay, it's not your fault, it's your mind." Aria said.

"GET OUUUT." Debbie yelled, with her face going red.

Aria left out the door.

Team SpongeBob HQ

In reality, Aria's eyes opened and she removed her hand from Debbie's head.

"What happened?" Alex asked.

"Why isn't she waking up?" Pearl questioned.

"The CRF levels are extensive." Aria said.

"That much we know." Sandy said.

"Debbie's mind is coated in fear. I could literally feel it myself when I was inside her dream." Aria said.

"What was she dreaming about?" SpongeBob asked.

"Being home with her family." Aria revealed.

"She misses them." Linda said.

"It's more than that. Her being home was like a safe harbor for her. She wasn't homesick as much as she was running away." Aria said.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"Debbie's scared of letting the world down." Aria said.

"Of failing her job as the Universal Guardian." SpongeBob guessed.

"Look, me and my agents have to get back to F.I.N headquarters. Keep us posted." Payne said.

"You guys as well." Linda said.

Payne nodded, as he and Dr. Emily took off.

"How do we save Debbie if she doesn't wanna be saved?" SpongeBob questioned.

"As the amount of CRF lowers in Debbie's body, she'll come to truly realize and accept that she's dreaming." Sandy told them.

"And then she'll wake up?" Linda asked.

"Yes." Sandy said.

"How long would that take?" Pearl asked.

"A couple of days... maybe a week?" Sandy estimated.

"I don't think we have a couple of days, let alone a week." Aria said.

"Take me." Alex said.

Everyone looked at him.

"Take you where?" Aria asked.

"You know. Take me inside her dream." Alex said.

"That's a good idea, actually." Pearl said.

"Alright, take my hand." Aria said.

Alex went over to Aria and grabbed her hand.

"This is gonna take a lot of energy out of me." Aria said.

Aria put her hand on Debbie's head and began to chant the spell again.

----

Hotel E.V.I.L

At the E.V.I.L HQ, Duma approached Victoria in her room.

Victoria admired the Divine Jewels within the glass case.

"Hello, Victoria. Am I interrupting?" Duma asked.

"Depends on what you have to say." Victoria said, turning to Duma.

"I'll do it. I'll combine you and the Divine Jewels." Duma told her.

"I thought you'd make the right choice. That's why I already have the ceremony prepared." Victoria said, smiling.

Duma looked unnerved.

"Victoria, you should know that this form of magic can send out incredibly strong waves of energy." Duma said.

"What are you getting at?" Victoria asked.

"The location of this place is covered by the Dark Jewel, correct?" Duma asked.

"Yes." Victoria said.

"Magical coalescence may disrupt that. Team SpongeBob may be able to find this place - particularly, Aria." Duma said.

"I know. That's my plan." Victoria said, smiling.

After some time, we see Victoria enter a chamber.

Inside, the acolytes stand with their backs to the walls. They wear gold robes for the ceremony.

In the center, Duma is also wearing a gold robe, as she stand before a long silver table.

Jonathan, Amy, and Brock enter after her.

"After this is done... the universe will never be the same." Victoria said.

Victoria laid on top of the table.

Jonathan, Amy, and Brock joined the acolytes in their circle around the chamber.

"Alright, Victoria... this is it. For this merge to be successful, you must clear your mind of everything. Every thought, every memory, every doubt." Duma told her.

"Already done." Victoria said, concentrated.

"I will place the four Divine Jewels going down your body." Duma said.

Duma place the Dark Jewel on Victoria's forehead, the Time Jewel on her chest, the Infinity Jewel on her stomach, and the Power Jewel on her pelvis.

Victoria closed her eyes as Duma began to chant the spell.

----

Debbie's Mind

In the dream, Debbie is seen in her backyard.

She appears to be looking at a grave.

Alex and Aria enter through a back gate.

"Debbie..." Alex said.

Debbie turned around.

"Alex...?" Debbie asked, as tears rushed to her eyes.

"It's me, baby. It's me." Alex said, happily.

Alex reached out to her, as she stepped back.

"Alex, patience." Aria whispered.

"I can't deal with this right now." Debbie said, turning back to the grave.

Aria and Alex looked at each other.

"What's buried underneath your backyard?" Alex asked, looking at the gravesite.

"My pet worm, Mr. Doodles. He died when I was... thirteen. As a kid, I always liked to save people - especially animals. Mr. Doodles was a stray that I'd found near the Krusty Krab. He was vibrant and lively, but he'd had gotten sick, and eventually succumbed. It was the first time I realized that I couldn't save everyone." Debbie explained, in a sad tone.

"That's what you're afraid of, isn't it?" Alex asked. "That you won't be able to save everyone from Victoria." Alex continued.

"Yeah." Debbie admitted, crying.

Aria and Alex bowed their heads.

"But that's okay now, because I'm here! I'm home." Debbie said, stubbornly.

"Debbie, this isn't real." Aria said.

Debbie finally turned around to them.

"Why can't it be?!? What is waiting for me outside of this dream? Nothing but pain and misery and death." Debbie said.

"But you don't have to face that alone." Alex said, holding her hand.

Debbie wiped her tears.

"The three of us have always been stronger together." Aria stated.

Debbie nodded.

"What if I fail?" Debbie asked.

"Then we'll do that together too." Alex said.

"Alright." Debbie agreed.

"Me and Alex have to go now. But you have the toughest part. You have to wake up." Aria told her.

"I can do it." Debbie said.

"Okay." Aria said.

Aria and Alex faded from the dream.

Felicia and Howard walk into the backyard.

"Everything alright, sweetie?" Felicia asked.

"Who were you talking to?" Howard asked.

Debbie looked at her parents with tears in her eyes.

"I have to go now." Debbie said.

"Go where, sweetie?" Felicia asked.

"I'll see you both really soon. I promise." Debbie said, with a smile.

Debbie closed her eyes, successfully letting go of the dream.

Team SpongeBob HQ

We see Debbie awakening on the medical table.

"Oh my god, she's awake!" Pearl said.

The entire team gathered around her for a group hug.

"Okay! You guys missed me, I get it!" Debbie said, nearly laughing.

Everyone backed up.

"Are you good now, kid?" Pearl asked.

"I'm here." Debbie said, simply.

"That's good enough." Pearl said, smiling.

"Thanks to these two.." Debbie said, holding both Aria and Alex's hands.

"We're just glad you're awake." Aria said.

"Yeah." Alex said, kissing Debbie's head.

"While we're all in a good mood... me and Linda have an announcement to make." SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob and Linda held hands.

"If we survive what's coming... me and SpongeBob are getting married." Linda revealed.

"Wow!" Pearl said.

"Congrats." Sandy said, smiling.

Everyone began to clap for them.

"Wait, so... Sandy and Linda weren't a thing?" Debbie asked.

"Oh no." Linda said, shaking her head.

"Uh, we were under a little something too." Sandy said.

"A story for a later time." SpongeBob said, laughing.

"Okay, well I'm glad that was all cleared up." Debbie said.

Later on, we see Debbie approach Aria in the library room.

"How are you?" Aria asked, sitting at the desk.

"I'm ready. To stop Victoria." Debbie said.

"You look confident." Aria said, smiling.

"And you look like you're trying to find Victoria again." Debbie said.

"Yeah, but this crystal ball hasn't helped in the slightest. Every time I think I'm getting close.. nothing. Their base is more invisible than Miss Appear." Aria joked.

"They'll slip up." Debbie said, assuring her.

At that moment, thew crystal ball glowed a shining, bright blue color. The entire base began to shake.

"WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING????" Debbie asked, trying to hold on to the door frame.

"I DONNNN'T KNOWWWW!" Aria said, trying to balance herself.

Aria put her hands on the crystal ball, as unprecedented, powerful waves of psychic-magical energy was transmitted into her.

"AHHHHH!" Aria screamed.

The crystal ball stopped glowing, and the base stopped shaking.

Debbie ran to Aria's side. 

SpongeBob, Sandy, Linda, Alex, and Pearl ran into the room.

"What the hell was that?!?" SpongeBob asked.

Aria lifted up.

"I got Victoria and E.V.I.L's location... but guys, we're in so much trouble." Aria revealed, looking terrified.

"Aria, what else did you learn?" Linda questioned.

"I have a strong belief that someone used magical coalescence." Aria revealed.

Debbie's eyes widened.

"We all know on who... and why." Aria said.

"Victoria's merged herself with the Divine Jewels." Pearl said.

"This is truly eschaton." Aria said.

"What's escaton?" Alex asked.

"The final event in the divine plan..." Aria murmured.

"The end of the world." Sandy made clear.

The team stood in silence, paralyzed by fear and uncertainty.

NOTES: 

  • Components in the magic mist caused Debbie's CRF levels to raise to unnatural amounts, explaining why she was trapped in her dream.
  • Debbie's deepest fears of failing as the Universal Guardian are finally revealed in this episode.

Without further ado, enjoy:

 

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days

Ep.166 "Eschaton" (Part 1)

Team SpongeBob HQ

Picking up immediately where the last episode left off, we see the team meeting in the mission room.

"If Victoria's bonded with the Divine Jewels, why aren't we all dead yet?" SpongeBob asked.

Aria was seen reading through an old book.

"... It takes time." Aria said, flicking pages.

"What does that mean?" Debbie asked.

"After Magical Coalescence, the subject will remain in a deep sleep for twelve hours while their body fully aligns with whatever they're merged with." Aria revealed.

"So... we have a window of time to come up with a plan." Sandy said.

"Or ready our defenses." Pearl said.

"We need to storm E.V.I.L's HQ right now. Where are they?" Linda asked.

"Shori Hillside." Aria revealed.

"That's... close to Mainland, but on the edge of the island." Linda said.

"How could we miss that?" Alex asked.

"They were keeping the location covered with essence from the Dark Jewel." Aria said.

"But, I guess Magical Coalescence must of blew a hole in the Dark Jewel's cloak." SpongeBob said.

"I feel like Victoria would of known that." Pearl said.

"What are you suggesting?" Aria asked.

"She wanted us to find the location of their base." Pearl said.

"Pearl's right. She's luring us there." Sandy said.

"Maybe we shouldn't give in." SpongeBob said.

"Isn't taking her out before she wakes up the best thing to do?" Linda asked.

"We don't know what we'll be walking into to. Better to come up with a plan of attack while she's asleep, and then bring hell to her when she awakens." SpongeBob said.

"She's gonna bring hell to us." Linda said.

"No. I'll stop her." Debbie said, looking at all of them.

"Debs... I know you're the Universal Guardian, but she has merged with four ancient artifacts of immense power. That's enough to rival your strength." Linda said.

"I carried a nuke into space. Time and again, I have proven to myself that I can beat the odds. I'll beat them here too, because I have all of you by my side." Debbie said.

"Linda, I trust you with everything in me. This is your call, boss." SpongeBob said.

The entire team looked to her.

Linda smiled.

"What kind of leader would I be if I let my team run in blind like little punks. Let's come up with a plan of attack to stop this ice witch." Linda ordered.

Everyone cheered.

"Alright, first off, I have something to tell everyone." Aria said.

Everyone looked to her.

Aria pulled out a small fragment of the Time Jewel.

Everyone looked shocked.

"Aria... is that a small shard from the Time Jewel?" Sandy asked.

"Yes." Aria said.

"How?" Alex asked.

"The day we got the Time Jewel... I secretly used a spell to break off a tiny piece off of it." Aria said.

"For what purpose?!?" SpongeBob asked.

"In case we lost - like, really lost, and we needed to go back." Aria revealed.

"You've been sitting on this the whole time?" Pearl asked.

"We could of used the damn shard to go back and stop Sandy from releasing the gas on the base and stealing the Divine Jewels." Linda said.

"NO! Even if we had done that, we still would not have permanently stopped Victoria and E.V.I.L. THIS SHARD was for a last ditch effort." Aria argued.

"I get what she means, guys." SpongeBob said.

"I get it too. If we can't stop Victoria tomorrow, that shard could help remedy the situation a little." Sandy said.

"Right now, we need to think about how we stop Victoria." Debbie said.

"I think you may need to drain her energy, Debbie." Pearl said.

Debbie looked at her.

"Like you did to Patrick... and to Azarah." Pearl said.

"I swore I'd never use that side of my powers again." Debbie said, as her heart raced.

"I know, but it may be necessary." Pearl told her.

"What if Debbie doesn't have enough power to do that?" Linda asked.

"Linda's right." Debbie said.

"Then we give her more." Alex said.

"What do you mean?" Linda asked.

"Victoria drew power from the Divine Jewels... perhaps Debbie should draw power from some other source." Alex said.

"I'll be looking into that." Aria said.

"Meanwhile, we're gonna need to get together an army." SpongeBob said.

"You're right. We can't do this by ourselves." Linda said.

"Are you guys suggesting to call in all of our allies?" Sandy asked.

"As many as we can reach out to. NOW." Linda ordered.

----

Hotel E.V.I.L

The next morning, we see the members of E.V.I.L meet up in the study room.

"Victoria's still asleep. Why is this?" Jonathan asked Duma.

"I told you all last night... the effects of the spell puts the subject under a deep sleep for twelve or so hours. In a little while more, Victoria will awake." Duma said.

The doorbell suddenly rung.

"This place has a doorbell? I never knew..." Amy said.

"I'll get it. I have a feeling I know who it is." Jonathan said.

As Jonathan walked off, Amy and Brock stared at Duma.

"What?" Duma asked.

"You're really in line with all of this?" Amy asked.

"The only thing I'm in line with is survival." Duma told them.

"Us too." Brock said.

"We'd rather live like Gods than suffer alongside the rest of the world." Amy said.

"I wish things could be different, but... they can't." Duma said.

At that moment, Jonathan entered the room with Plankton.

"Is that..." Amy almost asked.

"Yeah, yeah chums! Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me!" Plankton said.

"Well, we've only ever heard of you. We joined E.V.I.L after your time." Brock said.

"Yeah, and uh... everyone thought you died or something." Amy said.

"That's what Clarissa, Victoria, and Triton believed as well." Jonathan said.

"What changed?" Amy asked.

"Plankton reached out to Victoria a month ago. Told her he had something that would interest E.V.I.L." Jonathan said.

"What was that?" Brock asked.

"Well - " Jonathan started.

" - LET ME TELL IT, BUB!" Plankton yelled.

"My apologies, little man." Jonathan snided.

"After that awful witch, Debbie, left me tied up in vines... I eventually was able to escape. I fled Karate Island and went back to my stomping grounds in Bikini Bottom. I secretly built a much larger Mechsuit." Plankton started.

"An upgrade on the infamous Planktron?" Amy asked.

"Yesss, yesss. So much upgrading! I worked for a year on the designs, and now it's ready to be put to use." Plankton said.

"Team SpongeBob will come. Plankton will be a bit of a secret weapon." Jonathan said, laughing.

"While Victoria's out destroying the rest of the world." Duma summarized.

"She'll start with this island, and then Bikini Bottom, and then the entire planet. After that, she plans on spreading her influence across the universe." Jonathan said.

"She'll be the universe." Duma said.

"Yeah, whatever." Jonathan said.

"I don't think you all realize how much power she's about to wake up to." Duma told them all.

Everyone looked a bit shaken.

"Get ready. This is the end of the world." Duma said.

----

Team SpongeBob HQ

At the HQ, we see the team in the mission room, along with Bonnie and Tomoya.

"Thank you guys again for coming." SpongeBob said.

"Yeah dude, we don't want the world to end." Tomoya said.

Bonnie nodded in agreement.

"Tetra's here." Sandy said, as the team saw Tetra enter the room.

"Tetra, hey." SpongeBob said.

"We didn't know if you'd gotten our messages last night." Linda said.

"You guys sent them late, and I was already out handling some crooks in Left Shore." Tetra said.

"Well, we're glad you're here." Sandy said.

"Where's Pearl and Debbie?" Tetra asked, noticing their absence.

"Picking up another ally." Aria told her.

At that moment, a portal opened.

Debbie and Pearl stepped out with Pintar following after them.

"Pintar! It's so good to see you." Linda said, running to hug him.

"Yeah, good thing Debbie has that freakish portal-opening ability, or else I wouldn't of made it until like next week. And the world might end by then." Pintar said, humorously.

"Where were you?" SpongeBob asked.

"Conch City, near Atlantis." Pintar said.

"Speaking of Atlantis, I have to go pick up Mindy." Debbie said, opening another portal.

"I'll come with." Linda said.

Linda joined Debbie, as both women stepped through the portal.

"Have you guys informed F.I.N?" Bonnie asked.

"They know everything - including the location of HQ E.V.I.L." SpongeBob said.

"I hope they don't do anything stupid." Bonnie said.

"They won't move until we do." SpongeBob said.

"Hey, how are we all gonna fit on the S-Jet?" Tomoya asked.

"Simple. We're not taking it." SpongeBob said.

"I hope you don't mean we're all gonna walk there?" Tetra asked.

"No, we have something new and exciting in mind." SpongeBob said.

"What? Debbie's portal?" Tomoya asked.

"Debbie's unable to create a portal there due to the intense scrambling of particles in that area." Sandy said.

"E.V.I.L's use of the Divine Jewels." Bonnie guessed.

"Exactly." SpongeBob said.

"SpongeBob, can I see you in the hall for a minute?" Sandy asked.

"Yeah." SpongeBob said.

Sandy and SpongeBob exited into the hall.

"What's up?" SpongeBob asked.

"You think the Skyripper is ready?" Sandy asked.

"The latest modification went well. It should be." SpongeBob said.

"Good." Sandy said, smiling.

"Hey, I never really got to talk to you about Linda and the engagement." SpongeBob said.

"Look, I know how much I mean to you. But, I also know that Linda means something to you in a slightly different way." Sandy said.

SpongeBob nodded.

"You're in love with her... and that has been clear for everyone to see. Since way back in the day." Sandy told him.

"Thank you for being so understanding." SpongeBob said, almost shedding tears

"Me and you are always gonna be best friends. And that's what best friends are for." Sandy remarked.

Sandy and SpongeBob shared a hug.

"Don't mind me!" a voice was heard.

Sandy and SpongeBob turned around to see Larry.

"Larry! Hey, dude." SpongeBob said, as the two hugged.

"I'm ready to put E.V.I.L in the ground. Especially after they took over my mind last year." Larry said.

"Join the club." Sandy said, referencing her similar experience.

As Sandy, SpongeBob, and Larry enter the mission room, we see Debbie's portal open.

Debbie and Linda step out with Queen Mindy.

"Welcome, Queen." Tetra said, smiling at her.

"And don't you forget it, babes." Mindy said, as she and Tetra hugged.

"Mindy!" Larry said, excitedly.

"Larry?!? Hey!" Mindy greeted, walking over to hug him.

"It's been forever, hasn't it?" Larry asked.

"I meant to check in with you after I woke up from the coma, but life got in the way, you know how that is." Mindy said, touching his cheek.

"Yeah, same here. Been busy serving with my military buds." Larry said.

"I hope they've been treating you right?" Mindy inquired.

"As well as can be expected." Larry said, with a laugh." Nah, they're great. They're my family. So are you guys." Larry said, looking around the room.

Everyone smiled.

"So, are your military buds providing us any help?" Pearl asked.

"They'll be working with F.I.N agents to get people off the island once this all starts up." Larry said.

"Speaking of all this... what's the plan to kill the Ice Queen?" Tetra asked.

"Kill?" SpongeBob asked.

"In a situation like this, someone is gonna die. I'd rather it be her than any one of us." Tetra said.

"The current plan is getting Debbie to absorb her power." Sandy said.

"Not if Debbie doesn't have enough power on her own to overcome the intensity of FOUR Divine Jewels." Bonnie pointed out.

"I came up with a solution to that, actually." Aria said.

"You said last night that Debbie should draw power from something, like Victoria did." Alex said.

"Exactly." Aria said.

"What did you have in mind?" Debbie asked.

"Hopefully something as powerful as the Divine Jewels." Tomoya said.

"Something that's possibly even more powerful." Aria said.

"Now you have me curious. What could be more powerful than a Divine Jewel?" SpongeBob asked.

"Neptune's trident." Aria spoke.

"The trident? The one that Triton used to store the Divine Jewels? The one that was destroyed when I fought Victoria in 2010..?" Debbie questioned.

"Yes, that one." Aria said.

"The trident has been passed down my family's line since... well... the beginning. It is immensely powerful, but only when that power is transferred from one ruler to the next." Mindy said.

"What does that mean?" Linda asked.

"My grandfather, Poseidon, transferred the power to Neptune. That's why Triton didn't have power with the scepter without the Divine Jewels." Mindy said.

"Because your father died before giving that power to Triton or you." SpongeBob said.

"There was supposed to be a whole ceremony. Now the power that the trident gives has been lost forever." Mindy said.

"Not if we could go back." Aria said.

"Go back?" Tetra asked.

"Prevent Neptune's death." Aria said.

"None of us are time travellers." Tomoya said.

"No, but Aria has a shard from the Time Jewel." Sandy said.

Aria held out the shard.

"But there's still a problem we aren't considering." Bonnie said.

"I know." SpongeBob said.

"We'd disrupt the timeline if we saved Neptune from his death at Azarah's hands." Linda said.

"Not if we trick time into changing." Alex said.

"I'm not following." Pearl said.

"I am. Alex is saying that we could go back and fake Neptune's death." Debbie said.

"It would have to go off without a hitch." Sandy said.

"Or else we risk temporal damage." SpongeBob said.

"I'll come up with a few ideas." Aria said.

"While you're doing that, we all need to get going." SpongeBob said.

"Me and SpongeBob have something to show you all." Sandy said.

SpongeBob and Sandy led the group to a nearby shed at the base.

"We'd like to introduce you all... to the Skyripper!" SpongeBob said.

The heroes saw a huge spaceship, painted blue and white.

"This is like... ten times bigger than the S-Jet!" Alex said.

"You guys haven't even seen the inside." Sandy said.

"How did the two of you do this on your own?" Linda asked.

"We didn't. We had a construction crew help us with the design." SpongeBob revealed.

"Alright. All aboard." Linda said.

As the heroes entered the ship, everyone was impressed with the decor and spaciousness.

"This ship is amazing, guys." Pearl said.

"Thanks. We were even thinking about adding an AI system." SpongeBob said.

"One thing at a time, Sponge." Sandy said, taking the wheel.

"You piloting?" Linda asked.

"Yup." Sandy said.

----

F.I.N HQ

At F.I.N's headquarters, we see Clemmons approaching Director Payne.

"Sir, there are rumors going around the base that you're sending missiles to Shori Hillside." Clemmons said.

"Those rumors are true." Payne said, turning to him.

"Seriously?" Clemmons asked.

"Small missiles, but effective enough to blow up E.V.I.L and Victoria before they have a chance to make another move." Payne said.

"Team SpongeBob's not gonna like this." Felix said, walking over to them.

"Felix, you've already told me your worries, but nipping the situation in the bud is the best thing to do right now for everyone." Payne said.

"E.V.I.L will see these missiles coming, and then what?" Clemmons questioned.

"What they're expecting is Team SpongeBob. Stop worrying." Payne said, walking back to the monitor screen.

Clemmons and Felix looked at each other with disapproval.

----

Hotel E.V.I.L

We see the members of E.V.I.L and a gang of Clanners from the Heckfire clan, all of them meeting up outside in front of the base.

"Todd, nice to see you rounded up a few past Clanners." Jonathan said.

"Yeah, it's great to see you guys in those ugly ninja costumes again." Amy teased.

"Ah, well when I promised them a piece of the pie... they were more than willing." Todd said, referring to his friends.

"A piece of the pie?" Jonathan asked.

"To rule alongside you all in the new world Victoria's going to create." Todd said.

"Right." Jonathan said.

Duma stepped out of the base.

"Duma, hello." Jonathan said.

"She's almost ready." Duma told them.

"Victoria?" Todd asked.

"Precisely." Duma said.

Suddenly, Duma got a weird sense.

"What's wrong?" Brock asked.

"I'm getting a sense of something coming near." Duma said.

"Team SpongeBob?" Amy asked.

"No." Duma said, touching her head.

"Then what?" Jonathan asked.

"Missiles." Duma revealed.

"F.I.N!" Jonathan said, annoyed.

"What do we do?" Amy questioned.

Jonathan walked across the field, using his powers to sense the movement of the missiles in the sky.

"They're approaching fast." Jonathan said

"HOW ARE YOU GONNA STOP THEM?" Brock shouted at him.

Jonathan used his powers to create a wave of gravitational energy.

The wave reversed the course of the three missiles, sending them flying back in the opposite direction.

We now see Team SpongeBob and their allies on the Skyripper, as SpongeBob gets a call.

"Looks urgent." Tetra said to Linda.

"Probably F.I.N." Linda replied.

"DAMMIT!" SpongeBob said, hanging up the phone.

"What's happened?" Linda asked.

"Please nothing terrible! We're already dealing with a lot of terrible!" Alex said, frantic.

Debbie rubbed his shoulder.

"That was a call from Payne. His stupid ass sent three missiles to Shori Hillside!" SpongeBob revealed.

"What?" Linda said.

"I'm assuming this is where it gets terrible." Alex said.

"You'd be right. The missiles' trajectory was changed." SpongeBob said.

"Motion Master." Aria said.

"He sent the missiles in the opposite direction, didn't he?" Pearl asked.

"Yes." SpongeBob said.

"Crap, we're in trouble." Tomoya said.

"Tomoya's right, if the missiles don't hit somewhere on the island, they'll hit this ship!" Larry said.

"OHHHH HOLD UP, nothing is gonna destroy my baby!" Sandy said, still flying ahead.

"Sandy, steer us out of the line of fire." Mindy said.

"That won't be necessary." Debbie said.

"You have a plan?" SpongeBob asked.

"I'll open a portal. I'll fly and catch one of the missiles, but I need two others. Anyone else here can fly?" Debbie asked.

"You know I can." Linda offered.

"Yeah. Anyone else?" Debbie asked.

"Me." Aria said, surprisingly.

"You can?" Tetra asked.

"I've never seen you do it." Pearl said.

"Me neither." Debbie said.

"I can by using a magic spell." Aria said.

"Guys! The missiles are close. GO NOW!" SpongeBob shouted, looking at an alert system on the ship.

"I'm gonna open three. This is gonna take a lot out of me." Debbie said.\

Debbie opened up three portals.

"Let's go, ladies." Debbie said.

Debbie, Aria, and Linda flew through the portals.

Debbie turned on her coms.

"Everyone see their missile?" Debbie asked, flying fast.

"Got eyes on it!" Aria said, swerving through the air.

"Remember guys, we don't want these going off." Linda said, coming towards one of the missiles.

Linda allowed the missile to collide with her body, as she used her abilities to absorb the energy produced.

"Th-at wasss aw-ful!" Linda said, coughing.

Aria used a magic spell on the missile coming toward her.

"knirhs" Aria casted, causing the missile to shrink to the size of a small toy.

The missile dropped to the water below, creating a tiny, tiny boom.

"That was cute!" Aria said, laughing.

Debbie came towards her missile, as she opened a portal in front of her self.

The missile went through, as she'd sent it into space.

"Just like last year." Debbie said.

On the Skyripper, SpongeBob got word over coms that the missiles were no longer a problem.

"They did it!" SpongeBob announced.

Everyone cheered.

"My girls!" Alex said, proudly.

"Alright guys, get ready. We're about to be touching down on Shori Hillside in under ten minutes." Sandy said.

A portal opened, as Debbie, Aria, and Linda arrived back on the ship.

Everyone clapped for them.

"Alright guys, huddle up." SpongeBob said.

Sandy put the Skyripper on auto flight.

SpongeBob, Sandy, Liinda, and Pearl stood in front of all the heroes.

"I'd like to thank everyone for their courage, bravery, and heroism over all these years. Without everyone on this ship, and those we've lost, Team SpongeBob could of never have been as strong and victorious as we have these last seven years." SpongeBob spoke.

"Amen to that!" Debbie shouted, as everyone cheered and clapped.

"And now... we're about to face the hardest battle we've ever fought together. I know we can win it, because that history is on our side." SpongeBob said.

"Let's give em hell." Debbie said, smiling.

Outside of E.V.I.L's base, we see the villains gather on the field.

"They're here." Duma said.

"Ready yourselves, everyone. This is gonna be a slayage." Amy said, whipping out her knives.

The Skyripper landed on Shori Hillside, just a few feet away from the villains.

As the ship opened, Team SpongeBob came walking out in slow motion.

"This ends today." SpongeBob said.

"You're right about that!" Jonathan said.

The Clanners stepped forward.

"Scatters from the Kong Fu Heckfire Clan. Lucky us." Linda said.

"Wait... Debbie?" Duma asked, confused.

"Hard to keep the Universal Guardian down!" Debbie said.

"That mist should shot up your CRF levels! You shouldn't be here!" Duma said.

"Our team's known for the impossible." SpongeBob said, with a smirk.

At that moment, the entirety of Hotel E.V.I.L exploded.

The heroes and villains looked across the field as a massive wave of energy crumbled the base to dirt and dust.

Out of the rumble, Victoria flew into the sky.

"It's Victoria." Pearl said.

"Ice Empress." Alex said, referencing the dystopian future he visited.

Victoria, dressed in a darker outfit, flew across the field to everyone. She landed right in front of the villains.

On the opposing side, Team SpongeBob and their allies seemed wary but confident.

"Team SpongeBob! I'm glad you're here today, so that you can be front seat to the end." Victoria said, speaking in a creepily demonic voice.

"We won't let you destroy the universe!" Linda said.

"I AM the universe!" Victoria shouted.

"Yeah? Well I'm the Guardian. That means I'm about to send you into a world of pain." Debbie said, stepping forward.

"You're here. Oh goodie." Victoria said.

"Scared?" Debbie asked.

"COME FIND OUT!" Victoria said, flying into the sky.

Debbie flew after her.

"TEAM SPONGEBOB, GO!!!!" SpongeBob shouted.

The heroes and villains ran at each other, colliding on the field.

Linda and Brock shot their energy beams at each other.

"Your energy beams aren't stronger than my light!" Linda said, pushing harder.

"We'll see about that!" Brock said.

Sandy and Amy were seen in hand to hand combat.

"Every version of this has led to you losing!" Sandy mocked, punching Amy back.

Amy pulled out her knives, throwing six daggers at Sandy.

Sandy used her Jelly Bite as a shield to deflect the daggers.

"Let's make this more interesting!" Sandy said.

Sandy activated the Jelly Bite.

"Come get me, Widow!" Amy taunted.

"With pleasure!" Sandy said, rushing toward her 

In the sky, Debbie and Victoria were going head to head.

Debbie shot energy beams at Victoria.

Victoria dodged, shooting powerful blasts of dark energy at Debbie.

"AHHH!" Debbie yelled, getting hit.

Victoria came racing toward her, shooting a powerful ice gust.

The gust was strong enough to blast Debbie far back.

"The Divine Jewels have also increased my ice powers!" Victoria said.

On the ground, SpongeBob tried to use his speed to ram into Jonathan.

Jonathan used his powers to mess with the gravity fields around SpongeBob.

"HEY!" SpongeBob yelled, as he was running in directions he didn't intend to go.

"NO ONE can out motion the master!" Jonathan taunted.

"HOW ABOUT ME!" Aria said, blasting Jonathan from behind with dark energy.

Jonathan quickly regained himself.

"Oh ho ho ho, there she is!" Jonathan said, flashing an evil grin.

"I'm gonna wipe that grin off your face!" Aria said.

"What is this with us? Round five... or... six?" Jonathan asked.

"I stopped caring to keep count." Aria snided.

"ekohc mih ekam" Aria casted a spell.

Jonathan began to choke.

Duma sent a dark energy blast at Aria, causing the spell to stop.

As Aria lifted up, Duma stood before her.

"Forget about him. You're mines." Duma said.

Thanks to Aria's distraction, SpongeBob was able to grab Jonathan with his speed.

SpongeBob swirled him around, tossing him across the field.

As Jonathan got up, he was punched out by Larry.

"I wish I had super strength sometimes." SpongeBob said, giving Larry a nod.

Brock kept up shooting more energy beams at Linda, as she kept dodging.

"HEY, LEAVE HER ALONE!" Alex said, running toward them.

Alex used his lightning powers to create electric whips.

Alex wrapped the whips around Brock's hands.

"HEY!" Brock yelled.

Alex tossed him over to Linda.

"NOW!" Alex said.

Linda shined a focused beam of light into Brock's eyes.

Brock fell to the ground, now blinded.

"You better be lucky it's not permanent!" Linda said, kicking him in the face.

Brock was rolled over, passed out.

Sandy tried to strike Amy with the Jelly Bite, as Amy did flips to avoid her.

Pearl ran toward them, shooting an explosive arrow near Amy.

Amy was blasted to the ground, as Sandy jumped on top of her.

Amy quickly kicked Sandy off.

Pearl shot another arrow, as Amy dunked.

Amy tossed a dagger at Pearl, knocking the bow out of her hand.

Sandy raced toward Amy, attempting to kick her.

Amy grabbed Sandy's leg, attempting to twist her ankle.

Quickly, Pearl elbowed Amy in the face.

Sandy caught her balance, proceeding to perform a dropkick on Amy.

"She's down." Pearl said.

Sandy and Pearl gave each other a high five.

Bonnie and Pintar were seen fighting off several Clanners.

Bonnie activated her collar device.

"Alright bastards, get ready for it!" Bonnie said.

Bonnie released a sonic scream at some of the Clanners, causing them to pass out.

Bonnie smiled, as from behind Todd whacked her over the head with a stick.

Suddenly, the ground beneath him began to rumble.

Tetra came on to the scene, blasting Todd with vibration waves.

"Stay down." Tetra said.

Tetra woke Bonnie up and helped her recuperate.

More Clanners ran towards them.

"Guys! I got a solution!" Pintar said, running towards the ladies.

Pintar took out several canisters of paint gas.

Pintar launched them at the Clanners, as the canisters exploded.

SpongeBob speeded Pintar, Tetra, and Bonnie out of the way, as the gas engulfed the area, knocking out the rest of the Clanners.

Aria stood before Duma, looking at her with a disappointed face.

"Why? Why did you throw in with E.V.I.L?" Aria asked.

"Because Debbie cannot stop the end of the world." Duma said, tearfully.

"And that will be because of you! You MERGED Victoria with the Divine Jewels!" Aria said.

"Victoria already had all four Divine Jewels! I just sped up the inevitable!" Duma told her.

At that moment, Mindy knocked out Duma with a mind blast

"She was mines." Aria said, looking at Mindy

"Sorry." Mindy said.

SpongeBob and the others came running toward them.

Tomoya used his ice powers to freeze Duma's body in place.

"That should hold." Tomoya said.

In the sky, Debbie used her super strength to punch back Victoria.

Victoria used the powers of the Dark Jewel to send dark waves of psychic energy into Debbie's mind.

Debbie began seeing several strange hallucinations.

"STOP!" Debbie yelled.

Victoria flew toward Debbie, grabbing her up.

Instantaneously, the two appeared over Mainland.

Citizens watched as Victoria flew through the skies with Debbie in hand.

Victoria let go of Debbie and blasted a massive energy beam at her.

Debbie was shot down into the street below.

A quake went off, as several cars went flying and streetlights broke down.

Citizens began to run and scream.

Victoria landed on the street of the crash site, as Debbie pulled herself up.

"H-ow di-d we ge-t he-re so fast?" Debbie asked, struggling to speak.

"I am one with all four Divine Jewels, remember? The Time Jewel, Power Jewel, Dark Jewel, and Infinity Jewel. I can be anywhere at once, for I am now the universe!" Victoria said.

"That's still my title!" Debbie said, regaining strength.

Debbie tried to fly toward her.

Victoria grabbed Debbie, as they instantaneously appeared near Team SpongeBob's HQ.

Victoria let go of Debbie, blasting her into the HQ with a massive icy gust.

Debbie went flying into machinery, as Victoria shot icicles at her.

Debbie punched through the icicles, remaining strong.

"I think you need to be closer to home!" Victoria teased, flying toward Debbie.

Victoria grabbed Debbie, as they were instantaneously in Bikini Bottom.

Victoria blasted Debbie into the Krusty Krab, as Bikini Bottomites began to scream.

Victoria flew into the restaurant, as Debbie lifted herself up.

Debbie ripped a table out of the floor, throwing it at Victoria.

Victoria shot an energy beam at the table, completely decimating it.

Debbie quickly flew toward her, punching her out of the restaurant.

Victoria regained herself, sending another massive energy beam at Debbie.

Debbie was blasted deep into the ground.

Victoria flew over, lifting Debbie out of the destruction.

"Finally, Universal Guardian... I have defeated you." Victoria said, smiling.

Victoria created a long icicle, stabbing Debbie with it.

Victoria opened a portal, flying her and Debbie through it.

At Shori Hillside, the heroes watched as Victoria arrived, with Debbie in hand.

Victoria dropped Debbie to the ground.

SpongeBob caught her with super speed.

"ANO NOW.... THE END OF DAYS." Victoria shouted, flying away.

The heroes gathered around Debbie.

"It's over..." Linda said, sadly.

"DEBBIE! DEBBIE, WAKE UP!" Alex screamed, shedding tears.
 

Team SpongeBob - Season 10: End of Days

Ep.167 "Long Live Team SpongeBob" (Part 2)

Shori Hillside

The heroes were seen circling around Debbie's body.

In the center, Aria was seen using her magic to heal Debbie's bruises.

Linda also used her light powers to assuage Debbie's mind.

"... Is it working?" Alex asked.

Only silence.

"IS IT WORKING?" Alex yelled, shedding tears.

"Alex, we're ALL worried about Debbie, but you have to let them do what they need to in peace." Pearl said, touching his shoulder.

Aria and Linda looked up at everyone.

"She's holding in there, but... it's not good." Linda said.

"What are we going to do about the island?" Tetra asked.

"Victoria's likely raising hell all over." Pearl said.

"She'll start with Mainland." SpongeBob said.

"... And end with the rest of the world." Mindy said.

"Debbie will wake up." Aria said.

"When she does... she's gonna need more power." Tomoya said.

"We have to do it." Aria said.

"Do what?" Larry asked.

Aria pulled out the shard from the Time Jewel.

"We need to prevent Neptune's death so that he can transfer the power of the scepter to Debbie." Aria said.

"Aria's right.' Alex said.

"He died on July 27th, 2016." SpongeBob said.

"We'll go back one day before then." Aria said.

"Are you guys serious? You're talking about messing with time!" Tetra said.

"I'm with Tremors here." Larry said, agreeing with Tetra.

"If we can trick time into changing itself, we can avoid a paradox or temporal damage." Aria argued.

"You said that before, but how?" Sandy asked.

"I possess magic. I can make something work." Aria said.

"I'm going with you." SpongeBob said.

"There's one thing you should know, then." Aria said.

"What?" SpongeBob asked.

"This shard has enough power to get us to 2016, but not enough power to return us back." Aria revealed.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Aria... are you saying that we'll be stuck in the past? For nearly two years?" SpongeBob asked.

"A year and a few months sounds long, but in the grand scheme of things... we'll be saving the world." Aria said.

"If this is gonna work, you two CANNOT mess with events as they have played out." Mindy said.

"Mindy's right. Anything you do in the past will cement and become history. A history that only you two would know is altered." Linda said.

"We'll make sure everything is the same. I have a plan, I PROMISE." Aria swore to everyone.

Linda pulled SpongeBob close to her.

"You're not gonna see me for over a year." Linda said, shedding tears.

"Me and Aria will be here on this day. It'll be like we never left." SpongeBob said, touching her face.

"After this is done, I will marry you." Linda said.

SpongeBob and Linda kissed.

"Be careful, Aria." Alex said, coming up to her.

Aria hugged Alex.

"Good luck." Pearl said, flashing her a smile.

"Thanks, Pearl." Aria said, smiling back.

Aria tapped into the power of the Time Jewel, as a portal opened to 2016.

SpongeBob and Aria stepped through the portal.

----

July 26, 2016

Mainland, Karate Island

SpongeBob and Aria walked out of the portal, appearing in a back alley.

"Are we here?" SpongeBob asked.

From the back of a bakery, they see an employee throwing out damaged goods.

"Hey! What's today's date?" SpongeBob asked.

"July 26th." the employee said, dryly.

"And year?" Aria asked.

"2016, dumbasses!" the employee said, heading back inside.

"... Well, that was rude." Aria said.

"We're here. But why July 26th and not his actual day of death?" SpongeBob asked.

"He was kidnapped on this day, remember?" Aria asked.

"Correct, by Azarah." SpongeBob said.

"We need to get to him before that happens." Aria said.

"Why?" SpongeBob asked.

"Because we're going to convince him to let us replicate the scepter." Aria told him.

"Why do you want to replicate the trident?" SpongeBob asked.

"Because the replica will be the one he's kidnapped with." Aria said.

"We're gonna let him be kidnapped?" SpongeBob asked.

"Yes." Aria confirmed.

"Let me in on the full plan." SpongeBob asked of her.

"Alright, but let's start walking to the palace." Aria said.

Neptune's Palace

Inside the palace, a royal guard came rushing into Neptune's throne room.

"Martin, goodness, what's got you in such a rush?" Neptune asked.

"Sorry, King! I have something to tell you!" Marvin said, excitedly.

"Not now, I'm going over some papers." Neptune said.

"My King, MINDY'S AWAKE!" Marvin revealed.

Neptune dropped his files.

"WHAT?" Neptune asked.

"It's true! I just got word from the medics." Marvin told him.

"Send word that I'm on my way. I just need to clean these papers up." Neptune said, shedding a tear.

"Sure, my King." Marvin said, running out.

As Neptune quickly picked up all the papers, SpongeBob speeded into the room with Aria.

SpongeBob's speed caused the papers to fly all over once again.

"DAMMIT! SPONGEBOB!" Neptune yelled.

"Sorry, it's so good to see you again." SpongeBob said, star struck.

"Why do you look as if you've seen a ghost?" Neptune asked.

"I... I..." SpongeBob started.

"Wait... this young woman is..." Neptune said, looking at Aria.

"Aria Alamone, sir." Aria said.

"SpongeBob, what the hell is she doing here? What's this about?" Neptune asked.

"Sir, I am not the SpongeBob you know." SpongeBob said.

"What does that mean?" Neptune asked.

"The both of us traveled back in time from December 20th, 2017." SpongeBob revealed.

"Time travelers? I've never dealt with that before." Neptune said, stroking his chin.

"Time travel is kinda new to us too." Aria said.

"What happens in the future? Why are you here?" Neptune asked.

"We're here to save your life." SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob and Aria explained to him the details of his death, and the state of the island afterwards.

"That all sounds horrible... especially the part about me dying before I cured my male pattern baldness!" Neptune said, rubbing his head.

"We're here to change that one thing. Your death." Aria said.

"Because you want me to pass the powers that the trident provides to Debbie Rechid?" Neptune asked.

"Yes." SpongeBob said.

"I could just do that right now. The girl is currently residing here in the palace." Neptune said.

"NO!" SpongeBob and Aria yelled.

"Look, we cannot change the timeline." Aria said.

"But preventing my death does that already." Neptune argued.

"Technically, but we're going to try and trick time in order to minimize the temporal damage." Aria said.

"How?" Neptune asked.

"You're going to let yourself be kidnapped." Aria said.

"You're joking right?" Neptune asked.

"No. You're also gonna let Azarah kill you." Aria said.

"Me and Aria will follow to the Mystic Caves, where Aria will revive you with her magic." SpongeBob said.

"After I revive you, I will give you a potion that will make you appear to be lifeless. It'll wear off in forty eight hours." Aria said.

"In that time, you'll be buried alive, but we will dig you up." SpongeBob said.

"What happens after that? I just go into hiding?" Neptune asked.

"All three of us do. Until December 20th, 2017 - where we'll meet up with our allies on Shori Hillside." Aria said.

"There, you will transfer your power to Debbie, and she'll be able to defeat Victoria." SpongeBob finished.

"When do I get kidnapped?" Neptune asked.

"Tonight." SpongeBob said.

"Good, I have enough time to see my daughter." Neptune said.

"Mindy... she awoke on this day. I had forgotten." SpongeBob said.

"I just heard the news. I'm very excited." Neptune said.

"One more thing. I need to make a replica of your trident. You're gonna give us the real one, and you're gonna have the fake trident with you when you're kidnapped." Aria said.

"Your magic can do such?" Neptune asked.

"Hell yeah." Aria said.

Neptune handed her the trident.

Aria began to chant a spell over it.

Karate Island Forest

SpongeBob and Aria had set up camp in the forest.

The both of them sat around the campfire, as Aria fiddled with the trident.

"Everything's going by perfectly so far." SpongeBob said.

"Yeah. Now I just wish we had marshmallows." Aria said.

SpongeBob speeded off and then speeded back with marshmallows in hand.

"Bag of marshmallows, like requested!" SpongeBob said, handing the bag to her.

"It's scary how fast you are sometimes." Aria said, giggling.

"It's scary how powerful you are sometimes." SpongeBob said.

Aria smiled, putting her head down.

"I'm serious. I mean, you replicated Neptune's freaking trident. A powerful artifact passed down through the generations." SpongeBob said.

"I guess I did do that." Aria said.

"And so much more. You've come such a long way." SpongeBob said.

"Thanks." Aria said.

"I guess this might be the last Team SpongeBob campout. Fitting that I'm here with you." SpongeBob said.

"Oh?" Aria asked.

"This reform started with the two of us. If it wasn't for you even, I wouldn't of been able to get out of bed. To put this team back together." SpongeBob said.

Aria nodded.

"I'm proud of what we've accomplished these past four months." Aria said.

As the two began to toast their marshmallows on sticks, SpongeBob looked at her.

"What?" Aria asked.

"Are you really willing to sacrifice your magic to revive Neptune?" SpongeBob asked.

"I was already willing to sacrifice time travelling and spending over a year in the past. So... yeah." Aria said.

"Well, after this gooey goodness, we better get some sleep." SpongeBob said.

"Right, tomorrow we head to Mystic Caves." Aria said.

The next morning, Aria and SpongeBob were seen eating at a lowkey breakfast diner.

"The News, turn it up." Aria said.

SpongeBob turned the volume up, as reports of King Neptune's kidnapping was revealed.

"Alright, we need to get to Mystic Caves now." SpongeBob whispered.

SpongeBob quickly speeded both of them out of the diner.

Mystic Caves

We see Azarah walking into the prisoner chambers erected in the Mystic Caves.

King Neptune is locked up in a dusty cell.

"Hello, my King. Glad you're awake." Azarah said to him.

King Neptune, badly injured, tries to lift his body.

"Wh-ere's my scepter?" King Neptune asked, knowing fully well that the scepter taken by Azarah was actually the replica.

"You won't be needing it. Not anymore. You see, I'm about to crown myself the ruler of the entire universe." Azarah said.

"You can try... but it won't work." Neptune said, knowing the future already.

"I know, I know. The Dark Jewel only gives me so much power." Azarah said.

Azarah had cased the Dark Jewel within an amulet, which she has around her neck.

Azarah fiddled with the amulet.

"The Dark Jewel alone... won't grant you this world." Neptune said, coughing blood.

"You're right. Which is why I am going to find the rest of the Universal Jewels. In the meantime, no one will be able to stand in my way." Azarah said.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll let me out." Neptune warned.

"I do know what's good for me. And that is your death." Azarah said.

"Excuse me?" Neptune said, pretending to be shook.

Azarah opened Neptune's cell.

Using the power of the Dark Jewel, she vaporized the king with dark energy.

Neptune's blood-curling screams dominated the Mystic Caves.

In the forest below the caves, SpongeBob and Aria were seen.

"I hear someone..." Aria said.

SpongeBob used his super speeed to quickly hide him and Aria behind a tree.

Past!Aria and Debbie were seen walking up a trail that lead to the Mystic Caves.

"Of course... this is the day I possessed Debbie, kidnapped her, and forced her to kill Patrick." Aria said, sadly.

"That's not you anymore." SpongeBob reassured her.

"I know." Aria said, flashing a smile.

"I think there's another trail around that way. I'll speed us." SpongeBob said.

SpongeBob speeded him and Aria in a different direction.

A few minutes later, the two arrived inside the caves.

"Do you remember your way through here?" Aria asked.

"Yeah. The prisoner chambers were in the lower level." SpongeBob said.

Aria and SpongeBob made their way down to the lower level of the cave.

"It's so dim in here for a magic cave system." Aria said.

SpongeBob chuckled.

"What?" Aria asked.

"Linda said the exact same thing when we both came down here back in 2016." SpongeBob said.

"Hopefully we don't run into any past selves. We nearly had a close call with the past-me just a few moments ago." Aria said.

"Agreed." SpongeBob said.

The two came upon a locked door.

"Made of stone." SpongeBob said.

"I'll blast it." Aria said.

"No! Linda and the past version of me have to find the door exactly the way it was." SpongeBob said.

"Fine. I'll use an intangibility spell." Aria said, casting a spell.

Aria and SpongeBob were able to phase through.

"There he is!" SpongeBob said.

Aria and SpongeBob raced inside of his cell.

Aria turned his body over on his back.

"I'm gonna revive him." Aria said.

"If you do this... you'll lose your magic forever." SpongeBob said.

"I know." Aria said, starting the process.

Aria's eyes glowed a deep purple color, as a magical aura enveloped her entire body.

"Whoa..." SpongeBob said.

The magical energy transferred into King Neptune, as he awoken.

Neptune jumped up.

"AHHH!" Neptune yelled.

"What's wrong?!?" Aria and SpongeBob both asked, frightened.

"Nothing, it's just that dying is a lot more painful than I expected!" Neptune said.

"Well, you're gonna have to pretend to be dead now for a few days." Aria said.

"Right, the potion." Neptune said.

Aria pulled a small vial out of her bra.

"Drink this." Aria said.

Neptune swallowed the liquid.

"I... I... feel... tired." Neptune said, falling on his stomach.

Neptune had fallen asleep, but appeared to be dead.

"No pulse. Wicked!" SpongeBob said.

"Someone's coming!" Aria said.

SpongeBob speeded him and Aria into a storage closet inside the chamber.

The storage closet door had a small window to look out.

"Let's see who it is." SpongeBob said, as both he and Aria crowded the window.

"Oh my God, there's a prisoner!" Linda said, rushing to a cell down the room.

"Is that..." Linda started.

"King Neptune!" Past!SpongeBob shrieked.

Linda opened the cell.

"NEPTUNE! NEPTUNE!" Past!SpongeBob screamed.

The duo turned his body over.

"He's pale. Like his body was drained of life." Past!SpongeBob said.

"There's no pulse either." Linda said, shedding a tear.

"Wait, are you saying.." Past!SpongeBob started.

"He's dead. King Neptune is dead." Linda said, with her heart racing.

SpongeBob bowed his head in shame.

Linda held SpongeBob in her arms, attempting to comfort him.

"We have to go, SpongeBob. We have to." Linda said, running his back.

As Past!SpongeBob wiped his tears, the two left the prisoner chambers room.

Aria and SpongeBob exited the storage closet.

"Man, if only I knew that his death wasn't real." SpongeBob said.

"You're right. It was never real. Our time travelling trip was meant to happen." Aria said.

"What are you saying?" SpongeBob asked.

"SpongeBob... we're not changing the past at all - we're fulfilling it." Aria realized.

"Even after the last few months, I still cannot wrap my head around this time travel thing." SpongeBob said.

"Basically, time can never be changed. All 'changes' would have to be a part of history all along." Aria explained.

"Whatever you say." SpongeBob said, confused.

Two days later, SpongeBob and Aria witness Neptune's funeral at Left Shore Memorial Site, hiding behind some tall bushes.

The past version of SpongeBob is seen talking to Mindy after Neptune's casket is put into the ground.

"He was a great King, and an even better man." Past!SpongeBob said.

"He was my father. You and your team took him away from me." Mindy said, shedding tears.

"Me and my team? Are you forgetting that included you as well?" Past!SpongeBob asked.

"Briefly." Mindy stated, trying not to look at him.

"Come back to the base with us." Past!SpongeBob asked her.

"No! I'm gonna get an apartment or something." Mindy said.

"I'm sorry, Mindy." Past!SpongeBob said.

"I'm sorry too. About Shin and Patrick." Mindy said.

"Yeah, that hit even worse." Past!SpongeBob said.

"Are you going to the funeral service for them?" Mindy asked.

"This one was enough." Past!SpongeBob said, sinking his head in shame.

"Don't let your pride or your ego or your shame get in the way of your choices. Keep that up, and it could cause Team SpongeBob to divide or something." Mindy warned.

"I'm gonna go now. Take care, Mindy." Past!SpongeBob said, speeding off.

After the service cleared up, SpongeBob and Aria started to dig up Neptune's grave.

"Ever dug up a grave before?" Aria asked.

"Once, with Krabs." SpongeBob said, laughing.

"What the hell were you two doing?" Aria questioned.

"Krabs would kill me if I told anyone. Lets just say it was about a really bad patty." SpongeBob joked.

"Nevermind." Aria said, laughing.

After the two were done, they hopped down to open Neptune's casket.

Neptune jumped up, as the potion wore off.

"GOODNESS! Longest sleep of my life." Neptune said.

Aria and SpongeBob laughed, as they helped Neptune out of the hole.

"Now what?" Neptune asked.

"We put the dirt back in the ground, and we go into hiding for roughly two years." SpongeBob said.

"Sounds like a plan. A crazy plan, but a plan nonetheless." Neptune said.

December 20, 2017

Shori Hillside

"After this is done, I will marry you." Linda said.

SpongeBob and Linda kissed.

"Be careful, Aria." Alex said, coming up to her.

Aria hugged Alex.

"Good luck." Pearl said, flashing her a smile.

"Thanks, Pearl." Aria said, smiling back.

Aria tapped into the power of the Time Jewel, as a portal opened to 2016.

SpongeBob and Aria stepped through the portal.

"GUYSSSSSS!" a voice was heard.

The heroes turn around to see SpongeBob, Aria, and King Neptune coming up the hillside.

"You guys JUST left!" Linda said.

"Yeah... like not even two seconds ago!" Tomoya said.

"And we're back! After a year and five months!" Aria said.

"We timed the arrival really good, didn't we? We had a long time to work that out!" SpongeBob said.

"DAD!" Mindy screamed, shedding tears from her eyes.

Mindy ran into her dad's arms, embracing him.

"I have missed you so much, my baby." Neptune said, crying.

"Me too!" Mindy said.

"The ENTIRE time, I wanted nothing but to come out of hiding and hold you in my arms again. To drop by your apartment, or come and release you when you were being held prisoner by F.I.N." Neptune said.

"Trust me... we all wanted to reach out over the last year and a half. All the terrible things that happened, ya know. But, we couldn't." Aria said.

"Love the hair, Aria." Pearl said.

Aria now had purple streaks in her hair.

"Linda!" SpongeBob said, as they ran into each other's arms.

"I've missed you beyond belief." SpongeBob said.

"Now you're gonna marry me. No doubt about that." Linda said, kissing him.

"If the world doesn't end first." Tetra said.

At that moment, Debbie began coughing.

"She's waking up!" Aria said.

"Debbie, Debbie!" Alex said.

Debbie opened her eyes.

"Wha- ... what happened?" Debbie asked.

Alex hugged her.

"Help me up, babe." Debbie said.

Alex and Aria both helped her up.

Neptune stood in front of her.

Debbie almost passed out again from the shock of seeing him.

Alex and Aria helped balance her.

"I'm fine! I'm fine! It's just... what the hell!" Debbie said.

"Debbie, you have blossomed into one amazing hero from all that I've seen behind closed doors." Neptune said, smiling at her.

"The trident..." Debbie said, staring at the scepter in his hands.

"Yes, the real one." Neptune said.

"Thank goodness that the one that got destroyed was a fake then." Debbie said.

"A replica." Aria said.

"Alright, these reunions have been great, but the end of the world, people..." Pintar said.

"Pintar's right." Pearl said.

"Right... Debbie, it's time I transfer the power of the scepter to you." Neptune said.

Everyone backed up.

"How does this work?" Debbie asked.

"You take one end of the scepter, while I hold the other end." Neptune said.

Debbie held one end, as Neptune began chanting some strange words.

A spark of bright light appeared around both of them.

"AHHHH! Debbie screamed, being imbued with power.

As the light faded, Debbie felt more powerful than ever.

"... Just the boost I needed." Debbie said, smiling.

Neptune nodded.

"Thank you, my King." Debbie said.

"You can thank me by putting the Ice Queen into the ground." Neptune said.

"Will do, sir." Debbie said.

"And we'll be right there by your side!" SpongeBob said.

"Yeah!" Linda added.

Suddenly, the ground started to rumble.

"Uhhh, Tetra?" SpongeBob asked.

"That wasn't me!" Tetra said.

"... Then what was it?" Bonnie questioned.

Suddenly, a giant mech suit ripped out of the ground.

"You've GOT to be kidding me!" SpongeBob said, in disbelief.

"We never catch a break. Nope, not even at the end." Linda said, shaking her head.

"HELLO, WEAKLINGS!" Plankton's voice was heard.

"Plankton?!?" Debbie asked.

"Meet the Planktron 2.0!" Plankton said, as he was visible from the head of the mecha.

"Debbie, go!" Pearl said.

"Yeah, stop Victoria. We'll handle this mecha." Alex said.

"ON IT!" Debbie said.

Debbie ripped into the air, flying to find Victoria.

"That mecha is huge." Sandy said.

"I agree. How can we take it down?" Tomoya asked.

"Together!" SpongeBob said.

The Planktron shot out multiple repulsor beams, as the heroes scattered to avoid the blow.

Tetra blasted vibration energy at the mecha, but the Planktron only moved back slightly.

"This thing is fortified!" Tetra said.

The Planktron opened a sonic canon on it's hand, releasing a sonic wave at all the heroes.

Running to the side, Alex shot an electric strip at the hand, disabling the sonic canon.

"NO!" Plankton yelled.

The Planktron stomped the ground, causing a quake that caused the heroes to fall.

Pearl got up and shot multiple arrows at the mecha, but the arrows failed to even scratch it.

SpongeBob created wind attacks by spinning his arms, as Tetra shot more vibration energy.

Mindy joined them, blasting telekinetic energy.

We switch to Victoria's perspective, as she is seen launching energy beams and giant icicles all over Mainland.

Many citizens were injured or dead.

In the sky, F.I.N Quickjets arrived.

The agents shot out bullets and energy beams at Victoria, but they proved futile.

"Nothing's working!" Clemmons said, flying one of the Quickjets.

Back at HQ, Director Payne looked very worried.

"Where's the Universal Guardian when you need her?" Payne questioned, sadly.

Victoria released a wave of dark energy that pushed back the Quickjets.

"SYSTEMS CRASHING!" one of the pilots yelled.

The Quickjets nearly crashed out of the sky.

Victoria focused her attention on a giant government building in the center of Mainland.

"Perfect!" Victoria said.

Victoria shot a massive energy beam at the building, as it was about to fall on hundreds of citizens.

Out of the blue, Debbie arrives.

Debbie uses her super strength to prevent the building from falling to the ground, eventually pushing it roughly back in place.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Victoria questioned.

Debbie, with the scepter in hand, flew in front of Victoria.

"Last chance, Victoria! I know there's good inside of you, even if you were killed by Triton!" Debbie said.

"There's NOTHING inside me, except POWER." Victoria said.

"We were friends, Victoria, in prison. I wish that could be the same now, but I guess it can't." Debbie said.

"How do you have the trident?" Victoria asked.

"Spoiler alert, Queenie - NEPTUNE'S ALIVE!" Debbie shouted, shocking citizens on the ground.

Victoria flew at Debbie.

Debbie used the trident to slap her out of the sky.

Victoria crashed into the sidewalk, as Debbie came flying down after her.

F.I.N and military agents on the ground arrived, helping people out of the city.

Debbie grabbed up Victoria, but Victoria released a massive beam of energy from her body, which pushed Debbie into a car.

Debbie picked up the car, throwing it at Victoria.

Victoria and the car went flying into a gas station, as a massive explosion occurred that took out half the street.

Victoria flew out of the wreckage.

Debbie flew towards her.

Both women landed on the ground.

Victoria summoned every fiber of energy in her body and blasted it at Debbie.

"Oh no..." Debbie said.

Debbie embraced her powers and dropped the trident.

Debbie also shot out a massive beam of energy.

The resulting collision caused a huge wave of energy to wash over the entire planet.

In Bikini Bottom, citizens saw the energy wave harmlessly pass over the town.

All over the ocean, the energy wave intrigued people.

The energy wave is even seen leaving Earth and emitting across the entire galaxy.

Back on Karate Island, Debbie and Victoria came to a rest.

"... Wha- what did you do?" Victoria asked.

"ME? What did you do?" Debbie asked.

Victoria placed her palm flat on the ground, creating ice.

"HEY!" Debbie yelled, as Victoria had trapped her in ice.

Victoria walked over to her.

"I'm gon-na kill you!" Victoria said, seeming weak.

"No, you won't." Debbie said, closing her eyes.

Debbie broke out of the ice imprisonment, and grabbed Victoria by the neck.

"Time for you to be drained." Debbie said.

On Shori Hillside, the Planktron stood durable against SpongeBob, Mindy, and Tetra's combined attacks, as the heroes fell to their knees.

Tomoya shot out an ice beam, as Bonnie released a sonic scream.

Neither had enough power to do significant damage to the Planktron.

"GUYS, STEP BACK! TAKE SPONGEBOB, MINDY, AND TETRA!" Linda shouted.

"What are you going to do?" Sandy asked.

"I need you all to run." Linda said.

The remaining heroes took SpongeBob, Mindy, and Tetra, as they all ran as far as they could.

Linda shot massive light beams at the Planktron.

"You can't stop it, Linda!" Plankton said.

The Planktron shot an energy beam at Linda, as she absorbed it into herself.

Linda closed her eyes, letting the light within herself take over.

Linda floated off the ground, face to face with the mecha.

Instantly, Linda released a giant stream of light energy from her body that completely destroyed the Planktron.

As a layer of smoke covered the entire hillside, Linda floated back down to the ground.

The smoke cleared, as Plankton was seen laying unconscious on the ground.

The heroes walked over to Linda.

"That was amazing." Sandy said.

"All in a day's work." Linda said.

"Ya know... aside from Debbie, I think you are the strongest meta on this island." Tetra said.

"Something we've all known from the beginning." Pearl said.

Linda contemplated the thought.

Back in Mainland, Debbie still held Victoria by the neck.

Debbie closed her eyes, embracing her Guardian energy.

A white light enveloped both women.

Victoria screamed, as Debbie drained her of life.

The four Divine Jewels fell to the ground, as Victoria's body was vanquished.

As Debbie de-powered, she fell to her knees.

"... It's over. It's finally... over." Debbie said, as tears fell down her cheeks.

Moments later, a few F.I.N agents arrived with a security box.

Debbie placed the four Divine Jewels inside.

"Take the box and fly it to F.I.N HQ. The Divine Jewels will be stored away for good - and forever." Clemmons told her.

"Thankfully." Debbie said, taking the security box.

----

The next morning

Team SpongeBob arrived at F.I.N HQ.

"Let's clap it up, everyone, for the island's finest." Payne said.

Everyone clapped and cheered.

SpongeBob, Sandy, Linda, Pearl, Debbie, Aria, and Alex watched as the F.I.N agents placed the Divine Jewels in maximum security at the base.

"No one will ever misuse these relics ever again." Payne promised.

The team nodded.

"Good work, Team SpongeBob." Payne said.

The scene shifts to the team at City Hall in Left Shore.

SpongeBob stands on a platform, as the other members stand beside him on stage.

Director Payne and government agents such as Amanda Wheeler, are also on stage.

Thousands of islanders are in the crowd, wearing Team SpongeBob merchandise such as shirts and caps.

"Good morning, citizens of Karate Island. Last night, like always, we survived a world-threatening attack. Preventing the destruction of this island has been my team's goal since day one. That was even the purpose of the reform - to safeguard the island from the Divine Jewels and E.V.I.L. Triton is dead, Black Clam is dead, and Victoria is dead. All members of E.V.I.L and the last scatters from the Heckfire Clan have been sent to a maximum F.I.N prison. Over seven years ago, Shin Fu asked me, Sandy Cheeks, and Patrick Star to help protect this island. Through volcano lords, through ice queens, through evil demons, insane rulers, crazy ninjas, and more... my team has done that. Protected this island. We've lost many heroes and great friends, but what these experiences have shown me... is that love, friendship, and camaraderie are the strongest things we can carry in our hearts. Stronger than demons, hate, or evil. Let us all remember... to choose good." SpongeBob said, looking to Aria.

Aria smiled at him.

The crowd cheers.

"TEAM SPONGEBOB! TEAM SPONGEBOB! TEAM SPONGEBOB!" chants are heard.

----

December 25, 2017

Karate Island Forest

In the forest, we see wedding decorations, and people in fancy suits and dresses.

Everyone is seated for the wedding of SpongeBob and Linda.

Mrs. Puff and Mr. Krabs are seen sitting next to each other.

"How unique that they chose to have a forest wedding." Puff said.

"Yeah, that must of cut down some expenses." Krabs said, laughing.

"Oh Eugene." Puff said, rolling her eyes.

As the wedding music starts, we see SpongeBob on a platform, awaiting Linda.

Linda appears, wearing a beautiful white wedding gown.

Holding her arm is Sandy.

The members of Team SpongeBob are seated in the front row, as they appear shocked.

"Sandy is walking her down the aisle?" Pearl asked.

"I guess so." Debbie said.

"Thank you, Sandy." Linda said, nearly crying.

"Save the tears for when you're up there, marrying the love of your life." Sandy said, rubbing her arm.

Sandy walks Linda down the aisle, giving her off to SpongeBob.

SpongeBob nods at Sandy, as she winks back.

Sandy takes a seat next to Pearl.

The wedding officiant, Ms. Rossfield is performing the service.

"We couldn't thank you enough for doing this, Ms. Rossfield." SpongeBob whispered.

"It was my pleasure to get ordained for this." Ms. Rossfield said.

Linda smiled.

"And now, we gather here today to witness and celebrate the union of SpongeBob Squarepants and Linda Lane." Ms. Rossfield began.

"WOOOOO!" Sandy cheered.

"Before I begin, does anyone have any objections? Or may you forever hold your peace." Ms. Rossfield said.

"Just marry the kids already!" Krabs shouted.

"Eugene!" Puff said, laughing.

"May we have the ring bearer?" Ms. Rossfield asked.

"OH GARRRYYYY!" SpongeBob called out.

Gary the snail comes sliding down the isle, with the rings secured on top on his shell.

"Thank you, buddy!" SpongeBob said, hugging him.

"Meow!" Gary said, sliding over to Sandy.

Sandy lifts him up and places him on her lap.

"With this ring, I hereby take you as my lawfully wedded wife." SpongeBob said, placing the ring on Linda's finger.

"With this ring, I hereby take you as my lawfully wedded husband." Linda said, placing the ring on SpongeBob's finger.

"In sickness and in health." SpongeBob said.

"Til death do us part." Linda said.

"And now, the vows." Ms. Rossfield said.

"Linda, I loved you almost instantaneously. In you, I saw the best parts of who I could be. Your courage, your valor, and the way you light up a room just by walking in... I admire all of you. So, I promise that each and every day when I use my super speed, I'll come running to you." SpongeBob said, shedding tears.

"SpongeBob, from the beginning, I saw a hero in you. Everyone has faults, but all the positive within you overcame any negativity, any demons. Standing next to you all this time, I found the light within myself. Because of your love, your support, and your friendship, I am no longer afraid to let that light shine. You make me a better woman, a better person. When we wake up every morning, I want you to know that you are everything I am." Linda said, crying as well.

"Without further ado, you may kiss the bride." Ms. Rossfield said.

SpongeBob and Linda shared an emotional kiss.

Team SpongeBob and the rest of the wedding guests stood up and cheered.

The scene shifts, as eevryone is seen dancing and talking following the ceremony.

Pearl walks up to SpongeBob, who is eating cake.

"These heels were not made for the forest ground!" Pearl complained.

"Sorry about that!" SpongeBob said, laughing.

"Nah, it's cool. This forest wedding is dope!" Pearl said.

"This spot is the same as the first night Team SpongeBob camped out here." SpongeBob said.

"Really? Wow, beautiful." Pearl said.

"Thank you, Pearl." SpongeBob said.

Sandy walks over to Linda.

"So, are you Mrs. Squarepants? Or is he Mr. Lane?" Sandy asked.

"I decided to hyphenate." Linda said, smiling.

"Linda Lane-Squarepants? Sounds cool." Sandy said.

"I couldn't thank you enough for walking me down the aisle." Linda said.

The two women grasped each others hands.

"Do you think we could of been like this the whole time?" Linda asked.

"... I think in another life, we could of been best friends." Sandy said, smiling.

"It's never too late." Linda said.

Sandy and Linda hugged.

SpongeBob walked over to Krabs.

"I'm proud of ya, boy. Squiddy couldn't make it, but he sends his blessings." Krabs said.

"Thank you, sir." SpongeBob said.

"Come on, after all these years? Call me Eugene." Krabs said.

The two hugged.

Alex pulled Debbie over to a tree.

"Why did you want to get me away from the party?" Debbie asked, noticing his demeanor.

"It's about us." Alex said.

Debbie bowed her head.

"I love you." Alex said.

"I love you too." Debbie said, crying.

"But... if we continue this relationship, I'd only be in your way." Alex said.

"Alex, that's not true..." Debbie whispered, shedding more tears.

"Debs, you know it is. You have literally out-of-this-world responsibilities as the Universal Guardian. Meanwhile, I'll only ever be 'grounded'. That's okay, I accept that." Alex said.

"I don't wanna let you go." Debbie said.

"I won't stand in the way between you and the universe. Debbie, you were meant for the stars. Go on and shine." Alex told her.

Debbie nodded.

"Someday, we'll be together. Not now, not here, but someday." Debbie told him.

"I'll always leave that door open." Alex promised her.

Debbie and Alex shared a final kiss.

Larry walked over to Mindy and Neptune.

"I assume you'll both be heading to Atlantis after this?" Larry asked.

"Yeah. Time for my dad to take back the throne." Mindy said, smiling at him.

"It will be yours again someday, I promise." Neptune said, kissing her head.

"I'll hold you to that." Mindy said, smiling.

Bonnie walked over to Pearl and SpongeBob.

"Hey, want some cake?" Pearl asked.

"I'm good. Where's Pintar?" Bonnie asked.

"He took off again." Pearl said.

"No romantic reunion for you two?" Bonnie asked.

"That's in the past now. We both have different paths to take." Pearl said.

"What's next for you, Bonnie?" SpongeBob asked.

"I'm actually leaving Karate Island." Bonnie said.

"Really?" Pearl asked.

"Where are you going?" SpongeBob asked.

"Bikini Bottom." Bonnie said.

"Why there?" Pearl asked.

Bonnie looked at Pearl.

"... There's someone there that I've been looking to find for a long time." Bonnie said.

"Good luck." Pearl said.

"Uh, so is Team SpongeBob really over?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah, we thought it was time. We all have different paths we wanna tread." SpongeBob said.

"And the island is safe." Pearl said.

"And besides, since we first started in 2010, over the years many new heroes have popped up across the island. They'll take care of it, I know it." SpongeBob said.

"Yes, we will." Tetra said, stepping forward.

"Tremors, as I live and breathe!" SpongeBob remarked.

"This island is in good hands." Tetra said.

"I know it is." SpongeBob said.

Hours after the wedding cleared up, the members of Team SpongeBob all met up in the forest again.

SpongeBob had dug a small hole in the ground.

"Thank you all for attending this final Team SpongeBob meet." SpongeBob said, smiling.

"It feels weird... that it's all ending." Pearl said.

"Tell me about it." Sandy said, carry a small metal storage box.

"Is that what we're using?" Aria asked.

"Yup. As you all know, we agreed to do something of a time capsule." Sandy said.

"Team SpongeBob might be over, and some of us might be leaving Karate Island, but I thought we could leave a piece of our team behind. Something for future people to find one day, and learn what made each of us who we are." SpongeBob said.

Sandy opened the box and placed it in the hole.

"In this box, I'll leave my Jelly Bite." Sandy said, tossing the electrified glove inside.

"I'm leaving my communicator. Had good times bossing you all around with this thing." SpongeBob said, tossing it in.

Everyone chuckled.

"I shall leave my superhero costume, now that I'm retiring from that life." Linda said, placing the folded costume inside.

"Goodbye, Lightress." Linda remarked.

"In this box, I'll leave Shin's spellbook." Aria said, shedding a tear.

Alex rubbed her back.

"In this box, I'll leave this scrapbook filled with pictures of me as a little girl... and pictures of me as the man I am today." Alex said, shedding his own tears.

Alex tossed the scrapbook in.

"In this box, I'll place my bow and arrows." Pearl said, dropping them in.

"Like Linda, I'll be placing in a superhero costume - the first costume I made for myself when I started training with Shin as the Universal Guardian." Debbie said, placing the costume inside.

"By the power vested in me, I now release Team SpongeBob of duty." SpongeBob said, closing the box.

Sandy shoveled dirt on top.

"That's it." Sandy said, smiling.

"Alright, where's everyone going off to?" SpongeBob asked.

"I'm going to a university in New Coral. Time for me to finish up my education." Pearl revealed.

"Me and Alex are going to travel the world together." Aria revealed.

"Yeah, I realized that I was in my hometown my whole life - and I hated it. I'm dying to see what's out there. And it'll be fun doing it with my best friend." Alex said, looking at Aria.

"I'm actually staying here on the island." Sandy said.

"Really?" SpongeBob asked.

"Yes. Director Payne offered me a position with F.I.N. Morally dubious didn't suit Bonnie, but I think it's more my speed." Sandy said.

"Good luck with that!" Pearl said.

"Me and SpongeBob are leaving the island." Linda said.

"Back to Bikini Bottom?" Sandy asked.

"Nope. We're getting a house in Coralwood." SpongeBob said.

"We're eager to get started on this family life!" Linda said, hugging SpongeBob.

"Debbie? What about you?" Sandy asked.

"When me and Victoria clashed our powers during our fight in Mainland, the resulting energy surge ripped open holes in the universe." Debbie started.

"Whoa, that sounds bad." SpongeBob said.

"As the Universal Guardian, it's my duty to go and fix this. So, that's what I'll be up to." Debbie revealed.

"I'm sure Antrix and the Space Regime are awaiting you." Linda said.

"Yeah, they are." Debbie said.

"I want you all to take care, and to remember - wherever we go, we'll always be a team." SpongeBob said.

"It's been real, guys." Debbie said, opening a portal.

"Take care." Aria said.

Aria, Alex, and Pearl hugged Debbie.

The rest of the team waved goodbye as she stepped through the portal.

Aria and Alex waved goodbye as they got into Alex's car.

"See ya guys on the flip side!" Alex said, driving off.

"Well, I have to catch my flight." Pearl said.

"Me and Linda too." SpongeBob said.

"How about I drive you guys to the airport?" Sandy offered.

"I'd like that." Linda said.

"Let's do it." Pearl said.

"SpongeBob, you coming?" Linda asked, as the three were heading off.

"... Yeah, just a minute." SpongeBob said.

"Okay." Linda said, smiling.

Linda, Sandy, and Pearl took off.

SpongeBob looked at the forest, taking in the team's extensive history.

Suddenly, he saw the ghosts of Shin and Patrick.

Both of them nodded at him.

SpongeBob nodded back.

As they disappeared, SpongeBob took off after his wife and friends.


THE END


BUT WAIT...

The Year 2110

"... And that was the story of Team SpongeBob." a man said to a little girl, as she was in bed.

The room was futuristic and chrome-like.

The man was a sponge, resembling SpongeBob.

"Again, daddy! Again!" the little girl said.

Suddenly, a woman stepped into the room.

"Tron! Are you telling Sally more stories about your great grandfather and his team?" the woman asked.

"Come on, Lily! She loves the stuff!" Tron said.

"Yeah, mommy!" Sally said.

"I know, I know." Lily said.

"Besides, I have finally finished all the stories." Tron said.

"Now it's time for you to go to sleep, baby." Lily said, coming over to kiss Sally's head.

"Goodnight, love." Tron said.

"Goodnight. And hey... one day I want to be every bit the hero that my great great granddad and his friends were." Sally said.

"Doesn't everyone." Lily said, smiling.

"Long Live Team SpngeBob." Tron said, turning out the light.

As Sally goes to sleep, the moonlight pours in through the window.

The final shot pans to a picture on Sally's desk, showing an old man version of SpongeBob.

.... THE END.

 

NOTES:

  • SpongeBob and Aria travel through time, revisiting the events of the Season 8 finale. 
  • Through a predestination/causal loop, it is revealed that Neptune never actually died. His death in the Season 8 finale was staged by future versions of SpongeBob and Aria.
  • Team SpongeBob and their allies defeat the members and allies of E.V.I.L once and for all.
  • Neptune transfers the trident's power to Debbie. 
  • Debbie murders Victoria. However, the fallout of their battle has left holes in the universe.
  • SpongeBob and Linda get married, with Sandy being the one to walk Linda down the aisle. Ms. Rossfield returns to be their officiator, while Gary makes his first official appearance in the show as the ring bearer.
  • Debbie and Alex decide to break up, so that Debbie won't have ties left pulling her away from her Universal Guardian duties. 
  • Team SpongeBob disbands for good, with SpongeBob relieving the members of active duty.
  • Everyone's future plans: SpongeBob and Linda are moving to Coralwood to start their married life. Sandy is staying on Karate Island to join F.I.N. Pearl is going to finish her education at a university in New Coral. Aria and Alex are taking off to explore the world together. Debbie is leaving Earth (presumably) to fix the holes she accidentally ripped in the universe. 
  • The series closes with an end scene taking place in the far future, showing SpongeBob's descendants. 

Thank you to all my fans for a beautiful seven years! And remember... always choose good.

Fantastic finale. The action was kino, with high suspense, stakes and tension. I loved the time travel aspect coming into play one last time too. There were nice gags and other heartwarming moments sprinkled in there. Everyone got a chance to shine in some way or another. The main team''s stories came full circle nicely, and I'm content with how they all concluded. It was sad they parted ways, but at least they all departed on good terms with each other.

Overall, it's weird and sad Team SpongeBob has finally ended, but it went out in the best possible way. Team SpongeBob had a nice and influential presence in the spin-off section for as long as it lasted. It came a long way from how it began in summer 2010 (which is feeling ancient now), and I'm glad to see it kept going to the end. Even when you felt you were losing interest in it, or when controversies spawned (like the refresh incident, which really didn't need as much drama as it did lol), you never stopped writing, and I admire that dedication you had for the past eight years. I'm looking forward to whatever you have to bring to the table in the future.
