Enjoy the last part of the story.
Song of the Siren: Part 2
Later on, SpongeBob was in his room, lying on his bed. "Can you believe Sandy and the rest of the crew are trying to find the rest of the crew right now?" he told Gary. "The Haunted Waters are creepy this time of night."
"Meow," Gary said.
"Oh, what do I know?" SpongeBob said as he put on the earmuffs. "I probably won't even fall asleep."
Five seconds later...
SpongeBob was now fast asleep on his bed snoring. Gary slithered over and sniffed the earmuffs he was wearing, and then suddenly took them off with his mouth, thinking it was a toy.
Out on deck, Sandy came out while carrying a sleeping Jimmy. "Here he is." she told the crew. "Fast asleep like a baby possum on an oak tree."
"Aw...he looks so cute asleep like that," Bubbles giggled.
"Oh brother..." Buttercup groaned.
"But, there's still nothing out here that would cause him to disappear." Blossom pointed out.
Sandy set Jimmy down and wondered, "But there must be something causing the boys to vanish."
"But what could it be?" Lisa wondered.
While Sandy was still pondering, the mist started to grow and a faint voice was heard. "This mist is so thick it's almost like I'm hearin' voices." she told the girls.
"Hmm...Wait, I'm hearing voices too," Blossom said to her sisters and the gals.
"What does it sound like?" Bubbles asked as she tried listening.
As the voice started to grow, Sandy guessed, "It almost sounds like someone singin' a tune."
"I like the sound, it's cool to sing," Lilo listened and smiled, "Ember...you will remember..."
"Wait...what did you hear?" Sandy asked.
"Uh...'Ember...you will remember?'"
Then suddenly, Jimmy opened his eyes and sat up.
"Jimmy?" Blossom asked.
"Ember...ember..." he said in a dull tone.
When Jimmy started walking away, Bubbles asked, "Do you think he's sleepwalking?"
"Not the kinda sleepwalkin' I suspect." Sandy told.
Then a door suddenly opened and there stood SpongeBob.
"SpongeBob! Why aren't y'all wearing your earmuffs?" Sandy asked.
When SpongeBob started walking away, Gary slithered out chewing on his earmuffs. "Meow," he said chewing the fuzz off the earmuffs.
"Ember...must see Ember..." SpongeBob said in the same trance as Jimmy.
"SpongeBob!" Sandy shouted as she grabbed SpongeBob and started shaking him. "Snap out of it!"
"No way, Sandy." SpongeBob said as he pulled her off of him. "She calls me..."
"Who calls you?"
Buttercup flew in the air and shouted, "Whoever's doing this, come out now!"
Then the singing suddenly stopped and a strange wind blew. "Who dares to interfere with my work?!" the same voice called out.
Sandy and the girls gasped when from out of the mist comes a ghost. It was a pale white skinned girl in a Goth and pirate like outfit, with flaming blue hair and holding a purple guitar.
SpongeBob shrieked in joy as he said, "Aah, she's here!" still in a sort of trance.
Sandy looked oddly at the captain as she asked the ghost, "Who are you supposed to be?"
"Just call me Ember, girls..." the ghost said, "Siren of these Haunted Waters."
"Isn't that from the story Sandy told us before?" Blossom realized.
"Of course!" Yin realized, "She's the one behind this!"
"She's the one making all the boys disappear." Buttercup pointed out.
Sandy shouted at Ember, "What did y'all do with the rest of the boys?"
"Oh, don't worry about them." Ember answered. "I wouldn't think of harming my dear fans."
"Yes, Sandy, she wouldn't think of harming us dear fans." SpongeBob also said.
"What?" Sandy wondered when the mist started to fade and they hear more faint sounds, which sound familiar.
Lisa, Lilo, and Yin recognized one of them. "Hey...that sounds like Bart," she realized.
"Looks like it's time for my gig. Love to hang with you girls, but I have something coming up. Sadly, it's for boys only," Ember smirked and strummed her guitar, disappearing in a smoke effect, including SpongeBob and Jimmy.
"Oh no!" Sandy cried as she tried to grab SpongeBob, but he already disappeared.
"Guys, I think she has my brother, Jimmy and SpongeBob, and the other boys and using them for whatever she has planned," Yin guessed.
"We're the only ones left on the ship." Bubbles pointed out.
"Hey guys." Tak said as he came out and yawned, "The captain, Jimmy, Bloo, and Billy aren't around."
"Grim and Lilo's dog aren't here either," Mandy added.
Blossom gasped, "She made all the boys in the ship disappear!"
"I guess Tak's the only boy left on the ship." Buttercup realized.
"Wait, why aren't you hypnotized by Ember?" Sandy asked Tak.
Tak tried to think. "Uh...maybe I'm somehow immune?"
"Wait!" Blossom said. "Everyone else got taken when they were asleep. So, maybe since Tak's been awake all this time, he never fell under the spell."
"That could be it."
"But, what about everyone else?" Lilo asked. "What will happen to them?"
"Maybe she'll turn them into her brainwashed slaves." Tak guessed.
"Well, I think she might need the boys for somethin'." Sandy guessed.
"But what?" Buttercup wondered.
"Tak, think you can take us to where ever Ember took the boys?" Blossom asked him.
"What?!" Tak asked. "Why me?"
"Cuz you have Juju powers?"
"Well, I think I can do that." Tak said as he yawned. "Maybe just a short nap first."
"Are you nuts? You'll be under Ember's spell if you fall asleep!" Lilo yelled.
"Just so tired..." Tak said as he began to fall asleep on the ground. "Haven't slept in days."
When Gary slithered out while biting on the flute they found earlier, Ember's voice started to sing again. "Ember...you will remember..."
Then Tak started to open his eyes, now falling in a trance. "Tak, snap outta it!" Sandy shouted.
"Must...see...Ember..." Tak spoke.
When Tak started walking away, Gary continued to bite on the flute until he blew in it which made a loud sound that made Tak blink and cover his ears.
"Ow! My ears are hurting!" Tak yelled covering his ears, sounding like his old self.
The girls seemed surprised to see Tak no longer in his state of hypnosis.
"What happened?" Tak asked rubbing his eye. "Wasn't I asleep just now?"
Sandy looked down to see Gary with the flute in his mouth. "Looks like we found out the Flute's power," she realized, "It must have the ability to snap a person out of a spell or trance, including Ember's."
"Wow," Buttercup said amazed. "We can use it to snap the guys out of their spell."
"Well, gals," Sandy said, "Looks like it's just us to save the boys from a horrible fate."
"Yay! It's Girl Power!" Bubbles cheered.
"Hey," Tak interrupted. "Don't forget I'm still here."
"Good," Sandy smirked, "I have a plan..."
Sandy, Tak, and the other girls gathered around as Sandy began whispering her plan.
Soon, the ship was sailing through the Haunted Waters, and Sandy pulled out a telescope to see through the mist was a cave. "That must be where Ember is." Sandy said as she put away the telescope.
"Oh...I hope they're okay..." Blossom said.
"Who knows what kind of torture the boys will be up against," Lisa nodded.
"They must be strapped to a wall and being forced to listen to her horrible singing." Yin guessed.
Meanwhile, inside the cave where the boys were, singing was heard by Ember. The boys were just standing in front of what looked like a stage, and they looked alive and unharmed.
Buttercup peeks in with the telescope. "If that's torture, I wouldn't mind being kidnapped," she smiled. Sandy takes the telescope and peeks to see inside the cave what seems to be a concert with people cheering.
"Isn't Ember great?" Danny said in a trance-like tone at Jimmy and Timmy.
"Yes, I can't wait for another one of her concerts!" Timmy nodded in a trance of course.
Soon, music starts. Smoke effect appears to show a ghost ghoulish type, drummer, bass guitarist, and lead guitarist.
"What incredible effects." Jimmy smiled also in a trance.
"What the?!" Sandy couldn't believe this, "Ember's using her spell on the boys so they can just see her concert!"
"Is that it?!" Blossom also asked in shock.
"Aw....I wanna go to a concert..." Bubbles whined.
Then, Ember appears and starts singing.
Ember: Oooh....yeah!
Ember! You will remember!
Ember! One thing remains!
You will remember my name!
Everyone cheered for the ghost girl. "EMBER!! EMBER!! EMBER!!!" the boys rang out. Ember smiled as her fiery blue pony tail rises up. Sandy gasped seeing this.
"That's right! Say my name!" she yelled out, "Yell it out and make me all powerful!"
"So, that's what this is all about." Sandy realized as she turned to Tak and the girls. "She needed the boys to chant her name so she can become more powerful."
"What a lame...and yet devilish idea," Mandy thought.
"If she becomes more powerful, her singing could affect us girls as well," Yin realizes.
"Girls and me." Tak corrected.
"We're going to have to stop Ember, cut her power, and save the boys," Blossom said, "Including Jimmy, Timmy, and Danny."
"Don't forget Captain SpongeBob," Lilo added.
"Where is that little dude anyway?" Sandy wondered and looks at the telescope to find SpongeBob. She looked around in the cave and soon spotted the captain with the rest of the crowd.
"I LOVE YOU, EMBER!!" SpongeBob called out under her spell, "YOU ROCK!!!"
That just made Sandy really mad. "Okay, now I wanna give that Ember gal a beatin'!"
"How can we even get in and use the flute to break the spell?" Tak asked.
Sandy answered, "We just need to use the full-proof plan I told y'all about."
Soon, Sandy, Tak, and the rest of the girls were sneaking near the entrance of the cave.
"Now remember," Sandy told Tak. "Go in and try to snap SpongeBob outta his trance."
"Why do I have to go in?" Tak asked.
"You're the only boy who's not under Ember's spell." Blossom answered. "You can easily sneak by."
"Fine." Tak reluctantly agreed. "I'll do it for the others."
Tak then took the flute and went inside the cave, sneaking by the hypnotized crew. "Captain...where are you?" he whispered.
"YAY! EMBER!!" SpongeBob's voice cheered.
Tak was able to find SpongeBob. "Captain, it's great I found you."
SpongeBob stared at Tak. "Hey, why aren't you cheering for Ember?"
"SpongeBob! You're under her spell! She's evil!" Tak yelled.
SpongeBob gasped in shock. "There's a maniac over here who's telling lies about Ember!" he yelled out loud.
This made all the boys stare at Tak, including Ember, who stopped playing. "Uh...Yay...Ember?" Tak nervously cheered.
"Maniac!" SpongeBob pointed.
"SpongeBob, don't!" Sandy yelled, mistakenly giving them away.
Ember then spotted Sandy and the girls. "So, you ladies came to try and stop me?"
"That's ladies and gentleman!" Tak pointed out.
"We're gonna stop you, Ember!" Blossom yelled, "So give us our friends back!"
"Yeah!" Bubbles yelled, "But first, can we hear your song first?"
"Bubbles!" the girls snapped.
"Sure thing," Ember said as she turned a crank on her guitar. "Here's a little ditty that you will DIE for." She played a note on her guitar that pushed the girls back.
"Wow, she knocked them down with one hit." Danny said impressed.
"She's an awesome fighter and pirate!" Timmy smiled.
"I'll say." Bloo agreed.
Sandy got up and yelled, "You stole our crew, and most importantly, you stole my man! What do you have to say to that?!"
"Oh, sorry, didn't mean to." Ember sarcastically apologized as she turned the crank on her guitar. "But, what would you think if your man was the one who took you down?"
"What do you mean? SpongeBob wouldn't do that."
"But, I could make him," Ember said turning to SpongeBob. She then played a note on her guitar. "How about a lover's quarrel?"
Then SpongeBob's eyes suddenly glow red as he turned to Sandy.
"What in the name of the Alamo is goin' on?" Sandy wondered until SpongeBob took out his sword.
"No one tries to stop my mistress!" SpongeBob yelled charging at Sandy with his sword.
Sandy moved out of the way from SpongeBob's swing as she yelled, "SpongeBob what'd you think you're doin'?!"
"I'm taking you down for Ember!" SpongeBob yelled as he kept charging at Sandy with his sword.
"SpongeBob, you love me!" Sandy shouted. "You don't love Ember! I think you might even be afraid of her!"
"No, I don't!" SpongeBob replied. "I LOVE EMBER!!!"
"And I think you could need some help to destroy these other girls," Ember said playing a spell at Danny, Jimmy, and Timmy.
The three's eyes widen as they turn red like SpongeBob's, and they move toward the girls.
Sandy got an angered look at SpongeBob. "So...you love Ember, eh?"
"That's right!" SpongeBob shouted. "I LOVE HER!!!"
Then Sandy karate chopped SpongeBob away. "Let's see ya love that!" then she turned to the others. "Come on, gals! Let's try and snap these boys outta their spell!"
"That's gals and guy!" Tak shouted out.
"Yeah!" the Powerpuff Girls shouted as they and the others ran out.
Danny tried grabbing Buttercup. "You won't stop Ember's music!" But, Buttercup was too fast. She flew up and kicked Danny in the face.
Timmy yelled as he tried hitting Bubbles and Lilo. "Timmy, don't hurt us!" Bubbles shouted.
"I can hurt anyone who gets in the way of Ember!" Timmy yelled.
"Then, I have to hurt you for your sake," Bubbles said and punches Timmy.
"You might as well give up, girls." Ember told them. "There's no way you can get them out of my spell."
"Ember is correct, ladies." Jimmy said. "You have no possible way of defeating her!"
"Not if I can help it!" Tak yelled out and takes out...the Flute. He starts to blow it loudly.
Jimmy, Timmy, and Danny hear the noise and cover their ears.
"Huh?" Danny asked as he uncovered his ears. "What happened?"
"What?!" Ember asked in shock.
"Where are we?" Jimmy wondered.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Timmy asked and turned to Ember, "Who's she?"
"How is this happening?" Ember asked in shock. "Tell me who you love!"
SpongeBob got up and turned to Sandy. "I love...Sandy Cheeks!"
Sandy smiled and ran over to him. "SpongeBob!"
SpongeBob smiled until he spotted Ember. "Aah! A ghost!" and then he jumped into Sandy's arms.
Sandy chuckled. "Glad to see your back to your old self." she then gave him a kiss.
"Eww." Bloo said as he walked away.
"Say my name!" Ember yelled out. "Say it! Say my name!"
"What's your name anyway?" Jimmy wondered.
Ember was horrified and saw her fiery ponytail fading away. "No!" Ember cried out. "How is this possible?!"
"Special power of the Flute," Tak explained holding it up, "And now for some payback. I call upon the Power of Juju!" He raises his staff and shot a powerful beam at Ember.
"NOOOO!!!!" Ember shouted as the beam hit her and she disappeared.
"What did you do to her?" Mac asked.
Tak answered, "I sent her to a prison in the Juju realm, so she won't be coming back for a while."
"Thank goodness for that." SpongeBob said as he hopped on the floor.
"Was that the ghost siren; Ember?" Jimmy asked.
"Right. When you fell asleep, Ember casts her spell on you, attending her concerts and making her powerful with your chants," Blossom explained, "So, us girls stopped her."
"Us girls and Tak, remember?" Tak pointed out.
"Well, I have to admit Sandy...you did well," SpongeBob smiled clapping for her.
"Aw, shucks, SpongeBob." Sandy smiled while blushing. "Tak was the one who snapped y'all out of your spells."
"Although Gary found out how the Flute worked," Bubbles admitted.
"How about we all just thank those who saved all of us from the eternity of serving as attendants for a ghost's concert?" Danny suggested.
"Fine with me." Jimmy agreed. "Thank you, ladies."
"Ahem." Tak coughed.
"And Tak."
"No problem," Tak nodded.
"By the way, Tak...why were you staying all night recently?"
Tak's eyes widen at the question as he tries to make something up. "Uh...well...you see...I...knew there was something going on…so I tried to stay up all night to prevent myself from falling under Ember's spell."
The crew stared at him. "Ok...ay..." SpongeBob said weirdly.
"That's right." Tak smiled proudly. "And it's a good thing I did."
"Can we get out of these Haunted Waters now?" SpongeBob asked. "It burns me to believe that I was actually worshiping a ghost."
"You're right, SpongeBob," Jimmy said looking at the Flute, "Now we have one more treasure left to stop Shendu."
"Aye, Jimmy." SpongeBob smiled. "Then after that, this nightmare is over."
"Yeah..." Tak said as he started thinking to himself about his reoccurring dream. "Unless my nightmare actually comes true."
"What was that, Tak?" Timmy asked.
"Nothing!" Tak quickly said.
"Then let us head back to the ship." SpongeBob said as he grabbed Sandy's hand and started walking off.
The crew then followed SpongeBob and Sandy back to the ship and to sail out of the Haunted Waters to find the next treasure.
The End
