Chapter 4: Wrath of the Frycook
In the world of Bikini Bottom, Tak, Jeera, Sheen, Sam, and Tucker head toward the Krusty Krab after receiving a call from SpongeBob. Holding his Recaller, Tak looked worried after noticing his distress call from Carl disconnected, "Guys, I think something is happening in Retroville, we gotta get SpongeBob and hurry over there."
"Right," Tucker agreed, "We'll just pop in, get the surprise from SpongeBob, say thank you, and watch him and you in action at Retroville."
They go through the front doors of the Krusty Krab, and they all gasp at what they see inside. All the customers were groaning tiredly and their stomachs were bloated, but the tables around them were filled with krabby patties.
"Neat!" Sheen exclaimed in excitement, "It's like an all you can eat buffet!"
"I'm getting out of here." Sam stated as she quickly turned to the door.
"Right there with you, sister." Jeera agreed as he began to follow the Goth. But when Sam grabbed the door, she couldn't get it open.
"It's locked." Sam told everyone.
"But how?" Jeera asked.
Tak looked at the front counter to see Squidward at his usual spot in front of the cashier. Tak and the others went over to him just as Squidward forced a smile on his face as he greeted, "Welcome to the Krusty Krab, may I take your order?"
"We'll have what these guys are having." Sheen enthusiastically answered.
Tak sarcastically, "And I'll have an explanation for all of this."
"Make that two," Sam also wanted to know, "I heard about fast food being bad for you, but this is insane."
Squidward whispered to them, "The krabby patties weren't ordered, they were forced upon them. More people are being brought in and the doors are locked so they can't leave. They're being made to eat as many krabby patties as possible until the boss is satisfied."
"Who?" Tucker asked, wondering what kind of boss would order such a thing.
"Mr. Krabs?" Tak asked as well, knowing how greedy Krusty Krab boss can be, but didn't think he would never stoop this low to make a quick buck.
"No," Squidward answered with a face of dread. "It's worse."
Suddenly, the kitchen door opens and SpongeBob stands there. His eyes were also dark red like the two other Nicktoons, but he had the same cheerful smile on his face.
"Good, you're here." SpongeBob greeted Tak in a friendly voice, "Oh, and you brought friends."
But Tak replied frantically, "Listen, SB, something's wrong with Jimmy and Timmy. They're not acting like themselves, Jimmy's trying to take over Retroville and Timmy's become a huge jerk. I think something happened to them."
"Hmm, that's interesting." SpongeBob replied, feigning interest, but showed a little concern. "But not as interesting as the fact that you're not leaving without scarfing down some krabby patties." He pushed the group toward an empty table and made them sit down.
"SpongeBob, didn't you hear me?" Tak asked again, wondering why SpongeBob wouldn't be willing to help him or their friends. "We have to do something about Jimmy and Timmy."
SpongeBob began to look annoyed as he responded, "And I'm sure you heard me when I said, you're not leaving until you eat all my krabby patties." He screamed at the top of his voice, much to discomfort of the group, "BRING IT OUT, SQUIDWARD!"
On cue, Squidward brought out a large plate of twenty krabby patties. While the group was in shock by how many krabby patties SpongeBob just ordered for them, Sheen smiled, "Neat! Free food!" and started eating one krabby patty.
Afterwards, Squidward whispered in a pleading voice into Tak's ear, "Help me."
SpongeBob began to scowl as he uncharacteristically yelled at Squidward, "What are you doing standing around? Go take everyone else's orders for krabby patties."
Squidward scowled back, "I did. They're still trying to eat the last thirty you ordered for them."
"Is that so?" SpongeBob asked with a smirk until he laughed in his usual loud high-pitched laugh, "HA-AH AH AH AH! HA-AH AH AH AH! HA-AH AH AH AH! HA-AH AH AH AH!" Squidward covered his ears to drown it out as SpongeBob continued to torture him, "HA-AH AH AH AH! HA-AH AH AH AH! I can keep this up all day." SpongeBob said in a dull voice before continuing, "HA-AH AH AH AH! HA-AH AH AH AH!"
"ALRIGHT!" Squidward finally yelled and saluted, "I'll get back to work, sir."
After Squidward rushed away, SpongeBob smiled proudly to his friends, "And as soon as you're done with that, I'll bring out some more."
"Need I remind you I'm a vegetarian?" Sam pointed out.
But SpongeBob got up in her face and threatened, "I don't care if you're a veterinarian! You'll eat every one of those krabby patties, and I mean EVERY. ONE."
Tak then tried reasoning with SpongeBob, "But SB, you know all of Bikini Bottom already loves your krabby patties. Why would you wanna force them to eat more?"
"Because," SpongeBob began to explain, "I realized that even though everyone loves krabby patties, I have to prove it by making them eat every single one I make. The only way to make sure of that is by making them come in here and not letting them leave until they eat every single krabby patty I can cook up, then I'll definitely be the best frycook in the sea."
Jeera frowned and asked, "And just how are you gonna get everyone in here?"
Suddenly, the front door bursts open, and Patrick star comes in, carrying four more Bikini Bottom citizens. "Four more customers!" the starfish called out.
"Thanks Patrick." SpongeBob replied gratefully as he tossed a krabby patty into Patrick's mouth, who ate it in one gulp.
One of the male fish that Patrick brought in sat up angrily, "What's the big idea?!" he snapped in fury, "I'm not even hungry!"
SpongeBob forcefully grabbed the fish's head and stuffed a krabby patty in his mouth. "You'll eat it and LIKE it!"
"Patrick?" Tak asked, surprised to see him helping SpongeBob force customers into the Krusty Krab. "You're evil too?"
SpongeBob put an arm around Patrick as he explained, "He's not evil, you barnacle head." He continued in a cheerful voice as he pulled Patrick close. "I hired Patrick to be the new Human Resources. He works for just what I'd pay him for." He tossed another krabby patty into Patrick's mouth. "My krabby patties."
Behind the two sea creatures, a customer with a full stomach, looking like he was about to vomit, was crawling toward the front door and tried to push it open. "Oh Neptune, let me out." He cried in agony. "Curse this door that's locked from the outside!"
Seeing someone trying to get out of eating his krabby patties, SpongeBob frowned in annoyance and looked at Patrick as he pointed behind him. Taking the cue, Patrick marched over and picked the customer up and sat him back at a table that contained a mountain of krabby patties.
Tucker chuckled nervously and picked up a krabby patty. "Well, it is lunch time." He said, taking a bite of the krabby patty.
Tak looked sadly at SpongeBob. "You can't be serious, SpongeBob. What will Mr. Krabs say about this?"
"Oh, don't worry." SpongeBob slyly answered, "I took care of him."
Sheen curiously asked, "By "took care of him", do you mean "took care of" or "took care of"?"
"Forget about it!" SpongeBob shouted angrily, "Enjoy those krabby patties, guys; because that's the first course of a fifteen course meal, with another helping for dessert." With that SpongeBob walked back to the kitchen, laughing hysterically.
A nervous Tucker picked up another krabby patty. "Well, we better start eating." He said as he took a bite.
"Tucker," Sam said in an annoyed voice, "We're not gonna sit here and eat krabby patty after krabby patty."
"Shh!" Sheen hushed, "He's watching us." He ate another krabby patty as he pointed toward the kitchen and they see SpongeBob spying on them from the kitchen window with his eyes narrowed, and slowly ducking down when he realized he was spotted.
Feeling upset by what happened; Tak leaned on the table and lamented, "Jimmy, Timmy, and now SpongeBob. How could this have happened?"
"They were normal yesterday." Tucker told them. "What could've happened between then and now?"
"You were with them, Tak." Sam reminded, "You must have some idea how this all started."
Tak tried to think back to yesterday and what might have occurred during that time span, "Well…"
His thoughts were interrupted when they hear a light tap and turn to the window next to them to see Sandy, who had knocked on the glass. She silently gestured them to meet her outside near the back of the restaurant.
After Sandy left, Jeera slyly smiled and noted, "Guess we found someone who can help us solve this problem."
"But how are we gonna escape?" Tucker asked. "The door's locked and SpongeBob's got our only other exit blocked."
"Yeah," Sheen agreed. "It's like we'd have to find a way to get SpongeBob out here and keep him out of the kitchen while the rest of us escape."
Jeera frowned and stood up, yelling, "Oh, Sheen! Look what you've done to the patties!" and smacked the plate of krabby patties on the ground, spilling the contents everywhere.
Everyone in the restaurant gasped in shock and horror, except for Patrick who snored against the front door. Suddenly, the kitchen door swung open and SpongeBob, more furious than he had ever been seen, stood there gritting his teeth in fury.
"You…" SpongeBob snarled in rage, "Ruined…my KRABBY PATTIES!" he then ran at top speed toward the group and Sheen screamed as he ran away with SpongeBob in pursuit.
"I think that's our cue." Sam said as she pushed Jeera, Tak, and Tucker toward the kitchen and they exit out the back door. Sheen continued running as SpongeBob barrels through chairs and tables. He quickly opens a random door and finds Mr. Krabs, bound and gagged in his office as he muffles screams for help. But since the sponge was still after him, Sheen quickly closes the door and runs away again.
Once they were outside, Sandy comes out from behind the dumpster. "Well, there you fellers are." She said with a friendly smile. "I was worried you'd never make it out of there."
"How'd you know we were even in there?" Tucker asked the squirrel.
Sandy explained, "I noticed Patrick this mornin' carryin' a load of folk down to the Krusty Krab. When I followed him, I couldn't believe it when I saw SpongeBob was behind all this. He definitely ain't actin' like himself at all."
"Just like Jimmy and Timmy." Jeera noticed, "This is a little too weird to be a coincidence."
"What could've happened to SpongeBob that's makin' him act like a tyrant?" Sandy asked.
"Yeah, Tak." Sam agreed, staring at the shaman. "Danny said that you and the rest of the Nicktoons went somewhere yesterday. Where exactly did you go?"
"Well…" Tak recalled, "We went on a mission to Anti-Fairy World because Foop had kidnapped-" his eyes widen as he suddenly began to see a link to the events that led up to today. "Foop!" he narrows his eyes in determination.
"What is it?" Sandy asked, wondering if he knew the cause of everything.
"I'll explain later. I know where I have to go in order to get a clue on what's going on around here."
"What you mean 'I'?" Jeera asked, punching Tak in the arm. "I'm coming with you."
"Us too." Tucker said as he stood next to Sam.
Sam added, "With Danny disappeared and the rest of your team turning into jerks, you're gonna need all the help you can get right now."
Sandy smiled and agreed with everyone else, "I know we ain't Nicktoons, but I'm willin' to do anything to get SpongeBob back to his nutty little self."
Tak smiled gratefully at the help he was being offered. "Well, as the only official Nicktoon, that makes me the new leader. So as the new leader, I hereby make you all temporary Nicktoons."
"Cool!" Tucker shouted in excitement. "I can be the tech-savvy one on this new team." He proudly stated, taking out a smart phone.
Tak chuckles to himself and whispers, "Wow, I'm leader of my own Nicktoon team. Jimmy and the others should've gone bad a long time ago."
This earned him a punch in the arm from Jeera, who reminded him, "Hey Boss, think you can take us to Anti-Fairy World now?"
"I would, but…I can't." Tak sheepishly mentioned, "Only Timmy can get us there because he has Cosmo and Wanda. But I doubt he's gonna be willing to take us."
But Sam narrowed his eyes in determination. "Then we'll just have to think of another way to get there. You can at least get us to Dimmsdale, right?"
Tak nodded in response until the back door to the Krusty Krab opened and SpongeBob stood there, holding Sheen by the back of his shirt. "You shrimps ain't going anywhere!" SpongeBob stated fiercely. "You haven't finished your krabby patties!"
He tossed Sheen over to the Nicktoons and continued, "And you're little plan to escape may have gotten you out of the patty haven, but that's as far as you're gonna get!"
Tak quickly took out his Recaller and told his teammates, "Quick! Follow me!"
They all run away and an angry SpongeBob shouts, "Hey! I said you're not getting any farther!"
Tak creates a portal out of Bikini Bottom and they all quickly jump in before it disappears. But when SpongeBob tried to jump in as well, he was too late and fell on the ground. He growls in dismay and curses, "Barnacles. They don't appreciate the true nature of a krabby patty." He stands up and declares, "Well, if they won't come to the krabby patties, I'll just have to bring the krabby patties to them."
SpongeBob takes out his own Recaller and yells towards the Krusty Krab. "Patrick! Watch the Krusty Krab, I'm gonna capture some more customers!"
As he creates a portal of his own to leave Bikini Bottom, he steps through it and disappears as Patrick pokes his head out of the kitchen door, "Watch who and what now?" the clueless Patrick asks and takes a bite of a krabby patty.
We have a plan, so now it's time to put it into action. How hard could it be? Please review and enjoy the next chapter.
