No Time Left by Androidfish7
When we last left off, Barnacle Boy and Scandalis were K.I.A, and the war between Bikini Bottom and Scandalis (land likely to be renamed) is over. After discovering this, Blake reveals the finding of yet another Commander to Eustace and Eugene
"...The Commander of Time" Blake said, as Eustace was struck by awe. "What's wrong Eustace?" Eugene asked. "I know who the Commander of Time is! And the Commander of Time has something I very much need!" Eustace exclaimed, as he dashed away in exclamation. "Eustace!" Eugene cried out, as Eugene pursued Eustace. "Eugene..." Eustace started. "What?" Eugene asked. "Eugene, my life is coming to an end. I have been alive for now an amazing 2700 years, and that is all coming to an end" Eustace stated. "What? But how can you be sure?" Eugene asked. "I feel it in my bones. But, I know of one way I can save myself" Eustace said. "What?" Eugene asked. "The Commander of Time that Blake mentioned has something called the Hourglass of Eternity. That thing will keep me alive for the rest of time, unless my brain is destroyed" Eustace replied. "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go!" Eugene exclaimed. "No. I cannot bring anybody. This is between the Commander and me, the Commander and I know each other and we have a score to settle. You and Blake will not come with me. This is something I must do" Eustace said. "What? But you and I have been through everything together! I was your best man at your marriage, you at mine, you have saved my life countless numbers of time, I'm sorry, but you've always had my back for me when it mattered, what kind of friend would I be if I wasn't there for you? So sorry partner, no dice, you're not going alone" Eugene stated. Eustace stood and thought. "Don't give me that thinking look, I will pack up and we will move out whenever you are ready" Eugene said, as Eugene walked away. Eustace approached Blake. "I have to go." Eustace said, as Blake looked up. "What? Where?" Blake replied. "To the Temporal Tower. That is where the Commander of Time is" Eustace replied. "How do you know this? Even Myra hasn't discovered the exact whereabouts!" Blake exclaimed. "I know the Commander personally. Eugene and I are going, I'd like you to stay back here" Eustace said. "Hell no, such a mission like this is incredibly dangerous, and we're a team Eustace. There is no way I am going to sit around and stare at the wall while you 2 are out there risking your lives!" Blake exclaimed. "I'm telling you, this is something I have to do! The Commander of Time and I have a personal score to settle!" Eustace exclaimed. "Should've thought about that when you allowed Eugene to persuade you to take Eugene with you. Nolpe, I'm coming. We're a team Eustace. Besides, I have lost just about everything in my life, you 2, and Byron, are the last family I have in the world" Blake replied. As if on cue, Byron hobbled into the room. "I heard my name being mentioned?" Byron said, who was walking and functioning normally. "Byron! You're alright!" Eustace exclaimed. "Yup, all ready to aid my father in universe affairs" Byron said. "Are you sure? You were hurt pretty badly" Blake said. "You've been hurt worse than I have, and you're still going, it's only right that I join this mission I heard you mention" Byron said. "If you think you can bear it, then go, arm up, we move out in 30" Blake said. "Do you even know where this Temporal Tower is?" Eustace asked. "Of course I do, I know where just about everywhere is, but I do not know exactly where everyONE is" Blake stated. "Alright then, see you in 30" Eustace said.
