A/N: Well folks, here's another chapter of The Obscurum Emissary! Here, let's see how the residents of Bikini Bottom are taking this darkness thing.
Chapter Six: Nightmare on Ed Street 2: Attack of the Darklings; Or The Starfish And His Squid
Good ol' Nicktoons Studios. It was a good place for people to write, design, and direct all of their nickelodean related material. Sadly, during the whole orb affair, the place has been wrecked apart and abandoned for a while. Though this was true, there were few who visited.
In fact, two were already walking around. One of them kicked a small can away.
The one that kicked the can was a pink starfish-creature wearing only green shorts with purple flowers on them. The starfish was also pretty tubby. This was Patrick Star.
The second one was a blue squid-creature wearing only an orange shirt. He was pretty skinny, he was bald, and he had a big nose. This was Squidward Tentacles.
"Where is everybody? The place is empty!" Squidward said, observing the place.
"It looks dark and scary over here." said Patrick, looking a little nervous himself. "Squidward, are you sure we're safe?"
"Relax, Patrick." Squidward said. "If I known Nicktoons Studios, it's a safe haven for guys like us."
It looked like Squidward spoke too soon, for dark spores started appearing on the ground. The Darklings then formed all around them.
"Just what ARE these things?" Squidward asked, scared of their appearance.
"Monsters!" Patrick cried out.
But the Darklings were the least of their worries. A huge stomp got Patrick and Squidward's attention over toward what looks like a giant robot made to look like Mr.Krabs! The duo then screamed before running away while the robot chased after them. The two ran as fast as they could, but Patrick tripped over a root that was in the ground and got his leg trapped in it.
"Squidward! Help!" Patrick cried out while Squidward tried pulling him out. "Curse these stubby feet of mine!"
All the while Squidward tried to pull Patrick out, it was no avail, for the robot was getting closer. Squidward and Patrick then braced for impact.
"Patrick, no matter what I said, I've always sort've liked you!" Squidward said fearfully.
"Squidward, I used your clarinet to unclog my toilet!" Patrick also said fearfully.
"Wait, what?" Squiward asked Patrick, raising an eyebrow. Just then, they got fearful again as the Robot Krabs got ready to squash them.
"Bubble Torpedo!"
Just then, a bubble in the shape of a torpedo hit the robot dead on and exploded, like a real torpedo would. The Robot Krabs then fell backwards onto its back as Squidward and Patrick look on in shock. Then, two familiar figures, to them, appear.
One was a sponge with blue eyes, two buck teeth, square pants with a red tie, white socks with red and white stripes, and black shoes. This was Spongebob Squarepants.
The second was a squirrel wearing an astronaut's suit. This was Sandy Cheeks.
"Spongebob! Sandy! Oh thank goodness you're here!" Patrick said.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree!" Squidward added.
"No problem guys! We're here to help!" Spongebob said. Then he looked to Sandy. "You think it's done for, Sandy?"
"Nope, it ain't. It's getting back up." Sandy replied, seeing the robot standing back up. "Watch this."
Sandy then jump over to the front of the robot and karate chopped the robot's chest. A few seconds later, Sandy backed up as the robot bursted into pieces. Squidward and Patrick got up and walked over to Sandy and Spongebob.
"Is it gone now?" Patrick asked.
"Not just yet. Take a look for yourselves!" Spongebob said, pointing to where the robot was. In the robot's place was spider-like mech being piloted a very small green creature with one red eye, two antannae, and arms and legs with no fingers or toes or hands or feet. This was Sheldon J. Plankton, Mr.Krabs' business rival!
"How DARE you interfere with my conquest, Squarepants!" Plankton said from inside the mech. "Lets see how you deal with my great Destructo Mech!"
"The name stinks!" Squidward said as he got out his clarinet.
"Lets get him!" Patrick said as the four charged toward the mech. And so the battle began.
Sandy Cheeks was already busy dealing with Plankton's mech on her part. She blocked blow after blow after blow when the mech's legs tried to skewer her. When the barrage finally stopped, Sandy landed a hard blow to the mechs side.
"What?! Damage rate at 20?! Why you little..." Plankton growled as he moved more levers.
Squidward Tentacles was next for the clobbering. Squidward was having a hard time at first, since he was mostly dodging the bombs that Plankton kept shooting at him with. Squidward then found an opening and blew his clarinet at it, very loudly.
"Damage rate is now at 40?! How is this possible?!" Plankton asked as he started hovering the mech into the air.
Spongebob was third. Spongebob avoided the tractor beam while also dodging the lasers the mech fired from it. When the mech started recharing, Spongebob fired a bubble torpedo at it, damaging it more.
"No! Damarge rate at 80?! I can't be beaten by mere weaklings like these guys!" Plankton complained as the mech got back down. Patrick then came up to the mech with a Smash Ball in his arm. Then Patrick did the strangest thing... He ate it.
"Final Smash!" Patrick said, glowing an aura, then started growing bigger. "BEHOLD! THE HORRIBLE PATRICK 'DANGER' STAR!"
Then Patrick 'Danger' Star stomped over to the meck and got ready to punch it hard.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Plankton screamed in fear. "I'm getting out of here!"
Plankton then activated an escape pod and escaped before Patrick destroyed the mech with the mighty punch. The final smash then wore off as Patrick got back to normal as he and Squidward went over to Spongebob and Sandy.
"We won!" Patrick cheered. "Who's up for ice cream?"
"I am! I am!" Spongebob said with a grin.
"Sorry, but I'm afraid there won't BE any ice cream where you're going." A familiar voice called. The four then looked up to a studio rooftop to see Buggy the Clown with his gun aimed at them. "And where you're going is somewhere that'll get me lots of dough!" Buggy then pointed to Spongebob and Sandy. "Starting with the two of you!"
Buggy then fired a beam from the gun at Spongebob and Sandy, but they dodged.
"Ha! Missed us Big-Nose!" Sandy taunted.
"BIG-NOSE?!" Buggy roared angrily. "Grr... Try avoiding THESE!"
Buggy then angrily fired more blasts at the two while they dodged them all together. Buggy then grunted.
"Alright then, forget you two then." Buggy said, aiming his gun at Squidward and Patrick. "I'll just take these two instead!"
Spongebob and Sandy then looked at Squidward and Patrick before looking back at Buggy. The blast then fired as the blast was fired.
"Squidward! Patrick! Look out!" Spongebob and Sandy both cried as they pushed said duo out of the way. From there, the blast hit them instead. The next thing Squidward and Patrick knew, Spongebob and Sandy were turned into trophies.
"Spongebob! Sandy!" Squidward and Patrick both cried before Buggy came down.
"Well well, guess I got my original prize either way! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Buggy laughed as he came towards the trophies. Squidward and Patrick didn't know what to do, so they ran off from Buggy as he grasped the trophies that were their friends. From there, lightning struck the skies as Buggy laughed evilly. Buggy then looked to where Squidward and Patrick were running.
"Go ahead and run, cowards!" Buggy called after them. "Soon, you shall be joining your friends in trophication! Ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!"
The laugh kept following them in their minds as they kept on running.
Some time later, Patrick and Squidward had a little of their fear erased, the rain died, but the clouds never left.
"I feel guilty, Squidward." Patrick said, worried. "We should've done something to help Spongebob and Sandy."
"We wouldn't have been able to, Patrick." Squidward said. "That clown would have transformed us into trophies as well. We have to think of a plan to get them back."
"But how are we gonna-"
Patrick's question was interrupted when he accidentally bumped into what looks like a kid with pink skin, three hair lines, a yellow shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. This was Eddy.
Next to him was a girl with orange hair, a pink shirt, blue jeans, and blue shoes. This was Sarah.
"Hey, what are two kids like you doing here?" Squidward asked. "It's dangerous!"
"Dangerous? Ha!" Sarah said. "People of the Cul-De-Sac deal with danger all the time!"
"For once, I agree with the loudmouthed brat." Eddy said, getting a glare from Sarah. "Besides, we're a little busy at the moment."
And busy was right, for in front of the group were Darklings, forming by the second.
"Yike! More of them!" Patrick cried. But Eddy and Sarah were firm.
"Rest easy, pointy, we have you and the squid covered." Eddy said before getting out what looks like a yo-yo while Sarah cracked her knuckles. And so a brawl began again while Squidward and Patrick just watched.
Eddy started things off by swinging his yo-yo around, hitting the darklings and swinging them around to hit each other. Eddy then finished his part of the fight by getting out a small version of the El Mondo Stinkbomb and bomb it near the Darklings.
Sarah's part of the fight was a bit more brutal. Sarah kept on punching faces left and right. If you could be able to hear, the bones in the Darklings' bodies were breaking by the very impact. Sarah was then seen standing on a pile of unconcious Darklings, looking victorious.
"Wow..." Patrick and Squidward both said in amazement. When Eddy and Sarah were too busy admiring their own skills two Darklings tried attacking from behind, but the sound of a sword slashing and a kick bashing finished them off. The four then turned to see two men. One was a strong figure with green hair, a large forehead, a white shirt, a yellow jacket, green pants, and black boots. A bandanna was wrapped around his arm. This was Roranora Zoro, first mate of the Straw Hat crew.
Next to him was a blone main, hair covering one eye, a curly eyebrow, a black suit, black pants, and black boots. A cigarette was in his mouth. This was Sanji, the chef of the Straw Hats.
"Zoro and Sanji of the Straw Hats!" Squidward exclaimed. "What are you two doing here?"
"We've been off somewhere, looking around. But these weird things keep popping out of nowhere, it's annoying." Sanji said. "I hope you don't mind that since we're around, we could join you guys, right?"
"No problem." Sarah said.
"Me neither. We're going anyway." Eddy said. Then he turned to Squidward and Patrick. "Nice seeing you guys. Take care now."
Eddy and Sarah then go off while Sanji and Zoro look at Squidward and Patrick. The sea duo remember what happened to Spongebob and Sandy. Then they look determined and follow after Eddy and Sarah.
"Wait! We're coming with you!" Squidward declared, while Eddy and Sarah shrug at that.
"Suit yourself." Eddy said. "But if you get lost on the way when following us, we're not responsible."
"And if you end up following moss-head here, you'll already be in a lost cause." Sanji said.
"You want some of this, Curly-Brow?" Zoro asked, starting a fight.
"What did you just call me, Marimo?!" Sanji growled.
"Curly-Brow, Crap-Cook!" Zoro growled back. Eddy, Sarah, Squidward, and Patrick all sweatdropped at this weird arguement. The four then looked to each other as the pirates argued.
"Maybe we should go before things act up." Squidward said.
"Good idea." Sarah said.
The four then went off ahead, leaving Zoro and Sanji behind. The duo then realize they were being left behind and ran after the other four, all of them looking for something they are all looking for.
