Meanwhile, back in Bikini Bottom...
"This is the best seat in the house," Plankton smirked as he sat in a lawn chair with a box of popcorn. "All right, Neptune, let's get it on!"
"Eugene Krabs, your six-day reprieve is up!" Neptune came in front of the crab fiercely. "And it is time for you to die!"
"Please, I didn't do it!" Mr. Krabs cried out as he shivered and sweated ice cubes.
"There is nothing else I can do." Neptune replied.
"You could give SpongeBob, Patrick, and the others a little more time." Mindy and Penelope said.
"Except give SpongeBob, Patrick, and the others a little more ti-ti-ti-WHAT?!" Neptune unknowingly agreed to that, then stormed over to the two. "Girls! Will you butt out? I won't have either of you stalling the execution!"
"Stalling?" Mindy asked. "We're not stalling anything."
"Yes, you are." Neptune replied.
"No, we're not." Penelope defended.
"Yes, you are, you two are doing it right now." Neptune said.
"Stalling?" The girls asked.
"Yes." Neptune replied impatiently. "Stalling."
"Stalling?" Penelope asked.
"Stalling!" Neptune replied.
"Stalling?" Mindy then asked as this seemed to be working.
"Stalling!" Neptune told them impatiently.
"Oh, boy..." Plankton sighed as he could already tell that this might take a while.
Back above the ocean...
"Now, where were we?" Dennis challenged Atticus.
"Oh, yes, you were about to leave us alone." Atticus said before he grabbed Dennis like a toy since the merboy was now his normal size.
SpongeBob and Patrick were a little nervous, but they watched. Dennis would have stabbed one of Atticus fingers if his body wasn't stuck, but he wouldn't stay long as he was now thrown straight into space due to Atticus's strength.
"Too easy..." Atticus sighed. "Oh, well, at least we'll never see him again."
"Yeah," Mo nodded. "I wonder how everything is holding out in Bikini Bottom."
"Probably expecting us by now, how're we gonna get SpongeBob and Patrick to float down in time?" Cherry wondered.
"I was thinking more of the lines of shooting straight down to Bikini Bottom." Atticus said.
"I can help." David offered.
"How so?" Mo asked.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll handle SpongeBob and Patrick." David suggested.
Atticus, Mo, and Cherry were all then shrunk down back to small size when they reached an island, telling them they were close to Bikini Bottom. David then handled the sponge, the crown, and the starfish as the three teenagers quickly came down.
"How are we gonna get down there in time? We're doomed! DOOMED!" Cherry exclaimed.
"Aunt Cherry." Vincent's voice said, annoyed by the extra drama.
"Okay, okay, so we didn't exactly try to swim all the way down." Cherry's voice said, narrating.
"What did you do then?" Estelle's voice asked.
"We landed in David's hand." Cherry's voice said as it was shown that they did in fact land in David's hand which to them now would be giant.
"Aunt Cherry..." The Fudo siblings said.
"I'm serious, just ask your parents about that part, sheesh!" Cherry snapped at them.
"It's true," Atticus said, coming from out of nowhere. "We really did land in David Hasselhoff's hand."
"Hey, only I can enter into rooms mysteriously..." Cherry narrowed her eyes at him, slightly offended.
"Come on, keep telling the story." Estelle said.
Cherry looked back down to the kids. "So, anyway... Tension was building up... The crown was still above the surface... Our time was up... Mindy and Penelope were locked outside of the Krusty Krab so they couldn't stall your Great-Uncle Neptune..."
Atticus, Mo, and Cherry now back to being small were now with SpongeBob and Patrick on the crown as it was about to be launched straight down to Bikini Bottom. King Neptune was very close and about to kill off Mr. Krabs forever due to the theft of his crown. Plankton was very excited and eager for this to become a reality. David began to continue to put more pressure in his pecs as they continued to squeeze tighter and tighter.
The kids looked disturbed.
"Don't question it, that was a really strange adventure..." Cherry said.
"A sponge and a starfish under the sea living in a pineapple with a meowing pet snail..." Felicity sighed. "What's next, we go see Jenny and Eloise to find a troll in Central Park?"
"Maybe." Cherry shrugged.
"Please, just continue." Akito said.
"Anyway.." Cherry moved back onto the story.
Cherry, Mo, and Atticus swam under the water, earning their tail fins back and looked around as they saw that Bikini Bottom had indeed become 'Planktopolis', but the Krusty Krab was on lock down.
"Mindy, what's going on?" Atticus asked his cousin.
"My dad locked us out so he can get rid of Mr. Krabs, where are SpongeBob and Patrick?" Mindy replied.
"They're coming." Cherry replied as she looked up above the surface.
"Yeah, they're getting some help from David Hasselhoff." Mo said.
"Who?" Mindy asked like she didn't know who that was.
"David Hasselhoff?!" Penelope squealed.
"Yep." Atticus nodded.
"Pinch me, guys, I must be dreaming!" Penelope put her hand to her forehead.
Atticus pinched Penelope on the face cheek.
"OW!" Penelope winced.
"That tells you this isn't a dream." Atticus said.
"Hmm..." Penelope hummed as she rubbed her cheek.
SpongeBob and Patrick both returned back to their original ages as they landed straight into the Krusty Krab. Both yelled out as the crown was flying with them on it like a ride.
"Gangway!" Mo called out.
"Out of the way!" Atticus added.
There was a huge implosion from underneath which burned David Hasselhoff on the surface, but luckily didn't hurt him too badly.
"Hooray, we made it!" SpongeBob and Patrick cheered for themselves.
"My crown!" Neptune collected his crown. "My beautiful crown!"
"Okay, I think it's safe to go inside." Penelope said.
"SpongeBob? Patrick?" Mindy came inside wit hthe others.
"You guys, we did it!" Atticus said to the sponge and starfish.
"Oh, I knew you all could do it!" Mindy hugged her new friends.
"At least the worst is behind us." Mo smiled.
Plankton was heard slowly clapping. Everyone then looked over to him as he had a rather smug smirk on his face.
"Oh, yes, well done, SpongeBoob and friends..." Plankton said to them.
"Sorry to rain on your parade, Plankton." SpongeBob smirked.
"Oh, don't worry about me, my parade shall be quite dry under my umbrella!" Plankton replied before pulling on a cord that was hanging above him.
"Umbrella...?" the others asked as they turned to Neptune as he was still kissing his crown.
The ceiling opened up and a helmet fell out and landed on Neptune's head, making him then struggle to get it off.
"Daddy, no!" Mindy yelped.
"Daddy, yes!" Plankton mocked as he took out a remote control and pressed it.
Neptune stopped struggling and was now enslaved by Plankton. "All... Hail... Plankton."
"I think we might need some magic right about now." Mo said.
The enslaved/zombified citizens of Bikini Bottom then broke into the Krusty Krab, all saying the same three words.
"SpongeBob, what happened?" Patrick asked.
"Plankton cheated." SpongeBob replied.
"Cheated? Hold on there, Baldy," Plankton responded, then told Neptune to hold his trident away, then came over to the sponge. "Oh, grow up. What, you think this is a game of kickball on the playground? You never had a chance to defeat me, fool, especially those freaky new friends of yours! And you know why?"
"Because you cheated?" Cherry guessed.
Plankton's eye widened, then he gave them all an evil look. "No, not because I cheated! Because I'm an evil genius. And you're just a kid. A stupid kid!"
"I guess you're right, Plankton," SpongeBob replied. "I am just a kid."
"Yes, of course I am, okay, Neptune, you can-" Plankton said before getting interrupted.
"And you know, I've been through a lot in the past six days, five minutes, twenty-seven-and-a-half seconds," SpongeBob continued. "And if I've learned anything during that time, It's that you are who you are."
"That's right," Plankton tried again. "Okay, Neptune-"
"And no amount of mermaid magic," SpongeBob said as he looked to Atticus. "Or managerial promotion," he then looked to the frozen Mr. Krabs. "Or some other third thing... Can make me anything more than what I really am inside: A kid."
"Yes, that's right, now get back over to your friends against the wall." Plankton said.
"But that's okay!" SpongeBob suddenly got hold of a microphone.
"What?" Plankton noticed that. "What's going on?"
"Because we did what everyone said a kid couldn't do," SpongeBob continued. "We made it to Shell City, and we beat the Cyclops, and we rode the Hasselhoff, and we brought the crown back."
"All right, we get the point." Plankton tried to stop him.
"So, yeah, I'm a kid," SpongeBob continued as smoke started to surround the floor with a spotlight on the talking sponge. "And I'm also a goofball. And a wing nut. And a Knucklehead McSpazatron!"
"Hey, what's going on?" Plankton coughed.
"But most of all, I'm..." SpongeBob went on.
"Okay, settle down, take it easy." Plankton said to him.
"I'm... I'm..." SpongeBob bent down slightly.
"What the scallop?!" Plankton flipped out.
"I'M A GOOFY GOOBER!" SpongeBob suddenly yelled out like a rock star.
"What the?" Penelope asked, confused.
"Aunt Cherry!/Maman!" The kids grew agitated again.
"No, no, that really happened." Atticus defended.
"Wow." Felicity said.
"Yeah, wow..." Cherry replied.
SpongeBob sang while the others watched him, not sure whether this was a good thing or not. But once they saw that he now had a guitar and it was now starting to destroy the mind control bucket helmets.
"His dance moves are impressive, but I'm in control," Plankton said before demanding to his slaves. "Seize him!"
The slaves were then moving in, about to attack SpongeBob and the others.
SpongeBob became a rock and roll wizard with his song and zapped each of the helmets with his guitar.
"Rock on, SpongeBob!" Cherry cheered.
"Go, SpongeBob!" Atticus also cheered.
"What? No! My precious helmets!" Plankton flailed out.
SpongeBob began to zap his friends, turning them back to normal.
"His chops are too righteous, the helmets can't handle this level of rock 'n' roll," Plankton was losing the battle now. "Karen, do something... Karen?" he then looked to see his computer wife was now crowd-surfing, he then looked to the king of the sea. "Neptune, I command you to-"
Neptune was then freed and Mindy swam by and gave her father his crown back.
"Now what, Plankton?" Atticus smirked.
"I better get out of here..." Plankton backed up to the front doors.
"Should we stop him?" Mo asked.
"Nope, I think he'll be attacked by a stampede of fish." Atticus smirked.
"Look, it's the wizard who saved us!" a fish called, coming through the door.'
"Out of my way, fools!" Plankton glared at the crowd.
Suddenly, the citizens of Bikini Bottom stampeded over the plankton as they came into the Krusty Krab to meet their hero and savior.
"That's gotta hurt." Mo smirked.
"Sweet, sweet karma." Cherry agreed.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Atticus smirked.
