Chapter 7: Ousting Vlad and Crocker
The fight between Spongebob, Danny, Timmy, Patrick, Cosmo, Wanda versus the Shadow Beings and Shadow Link was intensifying quite a bit, but the tide was turning in favor for Danny and his dimensional friends. As Danny was giving Shadow Link a good punch, Skulcker finally arrived on the scene. He used his built in scanners and noticed his target was giving Shadow Link one heck of a battle.
"Time to help the welts that I am not targeting out" said Skulcker as he readied various rockets from his high-tech armor.
"Oh boy, birdies!" shouted Patrick as he notice the rockets coming straight toward him and everybody else.
"Those are not birdies you dolt" said Wanda as she used her magical powers to create a shield around Cosmo, Patrick, Spongebob, Timmy, and Danny.
"Say, those are some strange birdies" added Cosmo ignoring Wanda's sigh.
"Uh, we still have the problem of these Shadow Beings" said Danny as he fired a ghost beam at one of them which just happen to be right inside the shield.
"Don't worry" said Spongebob as he readied his karate gear along with Timmy in his fighting position, "we're on it."
As the rockets deflected from the magical shield, the rockets then began to hit the various Shadow Beings causing each one of them to flee. Once all the Shadow Beings along with the Shadow Link gone, Skulcker then grew quite worried and fled the scene.
"Come on" said Danny, "we have to find where Vlad and Crocker are."
"Don't worry" said Timmy, "I think we can find our way around here."
As things were looking bad for both Vlad and Crocker as they were overlooking the situation and notice their nemeses were on their way toward Vlad's hideout, Skulcker and the remaining Shadow Beings had returned.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Vlad, "We told you to go and fight them. Keep them as busy as you can possibly can."
"We tried" said Skulcker.
"And you" said Crocker as he glared right at Shadow Link, "you were suppose to lead these Shadow Beings to victory. If I were your teacher, I'll give you an F!"
Before Vlad or Crocker could do anything to reprimand Shadow Link, the walls behind them blew right open as Danny and his dimensional friends stood as the dust began to clear up.
"Turner" said Crocker, "I knew you and your friends would come."
"That's right Crocker, and we're going to take you and Vlad down" said Timmy.
"Well Turner" said Crocker as he powered up his armored suit, "I would like to see you and your dimensional friends just try that."
"This fight should be quite interesting" said Vlad as he split himself into four.
"Oh my, which one is the real one?" asked Cosmo as he was confused with the four Vlads.
"Well, I maybe no ghost" said Spongebob then he used his budding tactics as a sponge would to make more versions of himself, "but I can certainly do my multiplications as well."
As the many numbers of Spongebob charged at Vlad and his clones, the Spongebob clones overwhelmed Vlad and his clones. Vlad himself couldn't take Spongebob's giggling.
"I can't take this!" shouted Vlad as he reverted back to his normal human self, along with losing his Twilight powers.
"Ha, Vlad might have been a coward in facing your Spongebob friend" said Crocker as he charged up his suit and fired a large fireball at Danny and his friends who dodged the attack, "but my suit can also absorb all of the Shadow Beings, a feature I added when I was ruling Fairy World with an iron fist."
"Say, Skulcker should get some of this action" said Skulcker as he began to fire his rockets at the numerous Spongebob clones destroying each one of them.
Crocker then began to fire large fireballs at Danny and his dimensional friends. Things were quite intense as both Crocker and Skulcker were firing at them. Danny had enough of this and began to use his Ghostly Wail against Crocker and Skulcker. The shockwave was quite strong, strong enough to tear parts of Skulcker's armor apart, along with also giving Crocker some trouble of his own.
"I can't keep this up" said Crocker as he finally pressed the eject button on his suit and parachuted right where Timmy was waiting for him, "uh, you're not going to hurt me are you Turner?"
"Probably" replied Timmy as a fist came out of the cleft suit knocking Crocker unconscious and right onto Vlad.
"Ah, I'm glad to see you people have gotten everything under control" said Clockwork as he came into the scene.
"So what's going to happen to Vlad and Crocker?" asked Danny.
"Don't you worry about them" replied Clockwork, "I am going to send them to the Nether Realm where Vilgax and Dr. Animo are currently serving their time, along with Hex and Charmcaster. Anyway, once I have this place cleaned up and your universe Timmy back to normal, there shouldn't be anymore trouble. I think you folks should head to aid the Te Xuan Ze."
As Clockwork sent Danny and his dimensional friends to rejoin the Tennysons, Danielle, Link, June, Monroe and Ray-Ray, Clockwork quickly used his staff and teleported the unconscious Vlad and Crocker to the Nether Realm. But Clockwork was unaware of the presence of Shadow Link and a few remaining Shadow Beings that were not absorbed into Crocker's suit. Shadow Link led the small group of Shadow Beings and ambushed Clockwork, but Clockwork was quick enough to use his powers to literally freeze the Shadow Beings in place and literally made them vanish into thin air. This wasn't so with Shadow Link as he engaged Clockwork in battle.
"Why are you not affected by my powers?" asked Clockwork.
Shadow Link refused to respond and threw a bomb at Clockwork, sending Clockwork crashing against the wall. Clockwork then recovered from the attack as he notice an arrow coming straight toward him and dodged it just in the nick of time. Then several more arrows came his way and Clockwork then began to dodge those too.
"What does your master Ganon want with me?" asked Clockwork.
Clockwork knew he would never get an answer from Shadow Link so he used his staff to summon some ghostly soldiers of the past and even from the future.
"Since this troublemaker won't tell me what's Ganon's true plans, I guess I'm going to have to deal with it myself" said Clockwork, "soldiers, you know your duties."
The ghostly soldiers nodded and began to head toward Shadow Link to subdue him.
"I just hope Jack and Maddie Fenton can handle Plankton and Man-Ray by themselves with the aid of Mr. Krabs and Squidward" said Clockwork as he used his staff to make a crystal ball appear, "I also wonder what's Jimmy and his friends are up to."
