Last time on Dragon Ball X: Unite, our heroes got to SpongeBob's undersea world of Bikini Bottom to stop Plankton. When they got there, they met and discuss the plan with one of SpongeBob's friends, Sandy Cheeks. The plan was to take out Plankton's Jellyfish Harvesters and enter Plankton's Factory Fortress to save the Jellyfish he captured for their energy. Now, after destroying the Harvesters, our heroes are ready to take down Plankton's factory from the inside.

Save the Jellyfish


Once SpongeBob, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, Gokin, and Greninja entered the factory, they noticed that some poor Jellyfish were being dragged through yellow tubes. There was also tanks filled with Jellyfish jelly.

"We need to shut this factory down. We can't let the Syndicate collect any more energy from these Jellyfish!" Danny told the others.

Gokin shrugged. "How are we gonna do that?"

Jimmy looked at the many tubes carefully. "Hmm, from the look of these plans, there should be a central control unit for the whole factory. If I can get to it, I should be able to shut the factory down and release the Jellyfish."

Danny chuckled. "That ought to do it!"

Suddenly, Timmy heard something. "Wait, what's that noise?" Everyone else looked around to find the source of the noise Timmy heard.

Using his senses, Gokin looked up to his left and saw something in a bottle. "Over there!"

The others looked at what Gokin, and SpongeBob couldn't be happier. "PATRICK! Hooray! Don't worry, buddy! We'll have you out of there in a jiffy."

Danny nodded and flew over to the trapped starfish. "I got him!" Turning his hand intangible, the ghost phased his hand through the jar, grabbed Patrick's arm and turned him intangible. While Patrick was surprised, Danny easily pulled him out of the jar and flew him back to the others.

"PATRICK!/SPONGEBOB!" The two best friends happily gave each other a hug. "I'm so glad you're safe and sound again! I thought Plankton was gonna do something horrible to you!" SpongeBob told his friend. "...I was captured?" Patrick asked.

Timmy deadpanned. "Yeah, we came here to save you and the Jellyfish." "As well as Mr. Krabs." Gokin added.

"Okay, now that Patrick is freed from his containment, it's time to get to work on freeing the Jellyfish." Jimmy told the others. Greninja nodded in confirmation. "Ninja."

SpongeBob smiled and closed his eyes. "Okay, let's get to work on finding the vents! Come on, Patrick! Give us a hand saving the poor Jellyfish as well as Mr. Krabs." When the sponge opened his eyes, Patrick was no longer standing next to him. "Patrick? Pat, where'd ya go?"

The others heard the sound of slurping. They turned to see that Patrick somehow quickly got in one of the tanks filled with Jellyfish jelly. The chubby starfish was eating the jelly in the tank. "Busy. I'll catch up with you and those other heroes later." Patrick replied to SpongeBob just before he went back to eating jelly.

Seeing this made SpongeBob sigh in annoyance before he walked away. The others walked off, following SpongeBob. They believe Patrick will be fine as long as he stays out of sight.


They made it further into the factory. On the way to the central control unit, they had to fight off some of the Syndicate. During the fight, something appeared before them. The six of them saw that it was some sort of cyborg.

"Cool, a cyborg!" Timmy smiled, but he quickly got over that. "I mean...Oh no, a cyborg!"

"Greninja, Night Slash!" Gokin called. The Ninja charged at the cyborg with a glowing purple blade ready. Just as Greninja got ready to slice the cyborg in half...the machine suddenly disappeared.

"What the barnacles!?" SpongeBob yelped. Suddenly, the cyborg reappeared and held it's hands out. It summoned more Syndicate Grunts to fight. "Pukin' Pluto! The machine is able to summon more Syndicate Troopers to fight!" Jimmy groaned.

"It's also as if he can phase through stuff like Danny can." Gokin added.

"Like me?" Danny got an idea and smirked. "That's it!" While the others were busy taking down the Syndicate Grunts, the ghost boy waited until the cyborg, the Phase Soldier, turned intangible once again. "Now!" Quickly turning intangible himself, Danny flew right at the Phase Soldier and punched the cyborg hard before it could summon more Troopers. It wasn't until they both turned tangible again that Danny fired a ghost ray that destroyed the Phase Soldier. The others were able to take care of the Syndicate Grunts.

"What the heck was that thing anyway?" Timmy asked.

Jimmy looked at the parts that used to be a Phase Soldier. "If I had to guess, I'd say that this was cyborg the Calamitous made himself to imitate Vlad's phasing abilities and to summon more Syndicate Troopers to make sure their plan doesn't fail."

"Looks like they're pretty desperate to make sure we don't foil their plan." Danny said.

Gokin nodded with a serious look. "If that's the case we need to hurry and focus on shutting this factory down. We have to make sure that they don't steal any more energy from the sting of the Jellyfish."

"We just need to find the central control unit. It's probably somewhere deep in the heart of this factory, we might not be able to find it right away-" Jimmy was suddenly cut off. "Found it!" SpongeBob pointed at the central control unit he suddenly found.

Timmy was amazed. "Dude, how were you able to find it so fast?"

"I saw the sign." SpongeBob answered. He pointed at something on top of the unit. They looked and saw that it was a sign surrounded by flashing lights.

"Jellyfish Factory Central Control Unit. Property of Plankton. DO NOT TOUCH!" Danny read the sign.

Gokin blinked in confusion. "...How did we not see that?" Greninja just shrugged.

Jimmy shook his head. "Okay, now that the control unit has been located, it's time for me to get down to business." The boy genius ran over and began to type on the central control unit. Timmy, Gokin, Greninja, SpongeBob, and Danny just stood there and watched as Jimmy got on a typing spree. After a few seconds of typing...everything in the factory got shut off after Jimmy clicked one last button.

All the lights were turned off and the vents opened up, releasing all of the captured Jellyfish. Seeing the Jellyfish swim away from the factory made SpongeBob happily cheer for them. "FREEDOM!"

Jimmy smiled and walked back over to his friends. "Gentlemen, I believe that the Syndicate will no longer steal energy from the Jellyfish. Let's go!"

The others nodded and ran off somewhere else in the factory to find an exit.


As they ran, they found themselves in what looks like some sort of laboratory.

Timmy blinked as he looked around. "Hey, I thought Neutron shut the factory down. How come there's lights on here?"

SpongeBob looked around. He thought the lab looked pretty familiar. "Hmm...I don't know why, but this lab looks pretty familiar to me."

Danny turned to the sponge. "Have you been here before?"

Before the sponge could answer, another voice asked something. "SpongeBob, what are you doing here?" SpongeBob looked up at a big computer screen. Instead of looking worried, he just smiled and waved at the computer. "Oh! Hi, Karen!"

The others were confused and surprised to see SpongeBob happily talking to a computer. "Hold on! SpongeBob, do you know this computer?" Gokin asked.

SpongeBob happily nodded. "Yep! That's Plankton's computer wife, Karen."

Timmy blinked. "Did he just say...computer wife?"

It wasn't until Karen spoke that SpongeBob gasped in realization. "That's it!" Guys, we're now in the laboratory inside Plankton's restaurant!"

The others blinked. "We are?" Danny asked.

"That's correct, boys." Karen spoke up. "That microscopic barnacle head husband of mine connected the Chum Bucket to some sort of factory meant for extracting energy from the Jellyfish in Jellyfish Fields. I told him not to connect his factory to the Chum Bucket, but as usual he didn't listen to me." Her screen showed that she was rolling her eyes.

Gokin suddenly decided to talk to the computer. "Uh, excuse me...ma'am? Do you know where Plankton is?"

"He's up on the roof of the Chum Bucket. He's trying to get Krabs to tell him the Krabby Patty secret formula." Karen replied.

SpongeBob gasped. "Oh no! Plankton must be torturing Mr. Krabs as we speak! We've gotta get up on the roof!"

"The doorway is in the dining room, you can easily get to the roof from there. Be careful though, there's a bunch of those creepy things Plankton got from his new friends in there." Karen explained.

SpongeBob smiled. "Thanks, Karen!"

Danny blinked a couple of times. "Wait, why warn us about that? Aren't you gonna try and stop us?"

"Eh, not really." Karen replied. "This is obviously another one of Plankton's plans that 'can't possibly fail'."

"Ooookay...?" Jimmy shook his head and looked at the door. "Come on, guys!"

The six of them ran out of the lab and into the dining room. True to Karen's word, there were some Syndicate Troopers in the restaurant.

Once the six of them took down the troopers, they stood in front of the stairway to the roof of the Chum Bucket. "Right! Now that we've save the Jellyfish, it's time to find Plankton!" Timmy said.

"We're coming to save you, Mr. Krabs!" After SpongeBob made that declaration, the six of them ran up the stairs to stop Plankton once and for all!


They got to the roof of the Chum Bucket, and they immediately heard the voice of a sailor. "No! NOOO! Not me money! Curse you, Plankton!"

They turned around and looked up. On a platform above them, Plankton was watching as a machine was trying to pull some money out of Mr. Krabs's pockets as a form of torture. Not noticing the six below, Plankton began to speak to his business rival. "I've tried being reasonable with you, Krabs, and I've tried being unreasonable. Yet you refuse to surrender the Krabby Patty formula." The little villain looked angry and began to demand the formula from the crab. "Why do you resist!? Why won't you give me that formula!?"

"No, Mr. Krabs! Don't tell him!" SpongeBob shouted to his employer. This made both Mr. Krabs and Plankton finally notice the heroes.

Mr. Krabs smiled in relief once he saw his fry cook. "SpongeBob me boy! Oh, I'm as jolly as a roger to see that you came!" Plankton, however, was both shocked and angry. "What!? SpongeBob!?"

SpongeBob turned his attention to the one-eyed villain. "Plankton, you've gone too far this time! What would your mother think?"

Plankton gave a smooth smile. "Why, I'm sure that she would be very proud of me. I was always her favorite." He turned serious as he glared at the six heroes. "Prepare to be crushed!" He dashed off...only to come back controlling a giant green robot crab.

As Plankton appeared in his robot, a bunch of Syndicate Grunts appeared to fight the heroes. "Get ready, everyone!" Jimmy told his friends. All six of them got ready to fight.

Plankton gave off an evil laugh. "Seize them!" At the order, the Syndicate Troopers charged to the heroes. They either shot fire balls or smacked their fists on the ground. Either way, the six heroes were still able to fight well against them.

Just as Greninja slammed through a couple of Troopers with Waterfall, the eyes on Plankton's crab robot glowed. Before they knew it, the crab bot shot plasma balls down at the heroes. "Watch out, boys!" Mr. Krabs warned them. At the warning, some of the heroes dodged the plasma balls. When they landed, they sent small shock waves. One of them knocked SpongeBob off his feet.

"Quiet, Krabs! Just stay there while I turn these kids to-WHAT!?" Plankton turned to yell at his captive, but he was shocked to see that Mr. Krabs was gone. The machine that was holding Mr. Krabs was completely crushed as well. "Where did he go!? Who freed him!?"

"I did!" Plankton quickly turned around just to see Gokin glaring at him. The Saiyan was pointing his Power Pole at the enemy. "I took him back to the Krusty Krab where he'll be safe with Sandy! Now we don't have to hold anything back!"

SpongeBob cheered happily. "WOO! Thank you, Gokin!"

Plankton snarled and pulled on his antennas in anger. "Why you...! Take this!" Plankton shot more plasma balls at Gokin. The Saiyan jumped away from a couple of them, but used his Power Pole to knock one of the balls back at Plankton. "...Uh-oh." He muttered. The plasma ball knocked the robot, as well as Plankton off the platform. Plankton comically screamed as the robot landed on its back and him in front of the heroes.

"Now!" Jimmy fired winds from his Tornado Blaster at the stunned robot. Timmy followed it up by firing stars, Danny fired some ghost rays at it. SpongeBob got closer to the robot and hit it with some karate chops. Gokin was using both his fists and his Power Pole against the crab bot. Greninja was throwing his Water Shurikens at the robot.

Plankton was grunting from underneath the robot, but then he finally snapped. "I have had...ENOUGH!" When he shouted the last part, he got his robot to flip back on its feet. When it slammed its feet on the floor, it sent a shock wave that knocked the heroes back. "Okay, boys! Try fairing against this!" Plankton shot lasers from the robot's eyes.

"Watch out! Lasers!" Jimmy yelled. Plankton laughed as he watched the heroes jump or roll away to dodge the lasers.

The robot jumped around the roof of the Chum Bucket and kept firing the lasers at the heroes. Timmy finally had enough of this. He put his Freeze Glove on and fired a beam at the eyes of the robot. Plankton tried to get the eyes to fire again, but they were frozen solid. "Come on, you piece of garbage!"

"HA! No more lasers from your toy, Plankton!" Timmy said in triumph.

Plankton growled. "Don't mess with me, boys! I WENT TO COLLEGE!" The robot crab extended its crab claws to grab one of the heroes, but they were suddenly sliced off by a dark blue blur. They were cut clean off the robot. "What the...!?" He looked over and saw that Greninja was glaring at him while holding a glowing purple blade.

"Nice one, Greninja!" Gokin commented. Greninja just silently nodded, his blade disappeared.

Plankton groaned. "How could this get any worse?"

"Like this!" Danny's voice yelled. Everyone looked up at the sky. Danny was floating up there with SpongeBob on his shoulders. SpongeBob was blowing up a big bubble bomb and Danny was adding some ghost energy to the bubble. Once they were done, both Danny and SpongeBob threw it down at Plankton and his robot. "Catch, Plankton!" SpongeBob called out.

Plankton just stared up at the glowing bubble bomb. "...Oh shrimp." When the bomb made contact, it sent Plankton and his robot flying in the sky. Plankton was screaming comically as he fell down to the platform he was standing on earlier. His robot crumbled to pieces when it landed.

Once he and Danny landed next to Gokin, Greninja, Jimmy, and Timmy, SpongeBob spoke to his boss's enemy again. "Well, Plankton? What would your mother think now?"

Plankton got up to give the sponge an answer. "You're right, SpongeBob, she would be VERY disappointed in me. Being a villain is no way to live."

SpongeBob nodded his head. "That's right, go on."

"I can change! I can see the error of my ways!" Plankton suddenly declared. "I help people from now on and devote my life to being good!"

SpongeBob may have bought it, but Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, Gokin, and even Greninja found Plankton's declaration a bit hard to believe. "I don't know if he's learned his lesson, but he's certainly not leading Bikini Bottom anymore."

It wasn't until the six of them turned around until Plankton said something else. "Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that." They quickly turned around and saw that Plankton was in another crab robot. It looked just like the other one, only it wasn't in pieces. "I can't believe you fell for that! And you, SpongeBob, falling for the line about my mother? When will you people learn?" Plankton laughed and got ready to attack.

Gokin growled and changed into his Super Saiyan form again. "We can keep this up all day if you want, Plankton!"

However, just before another fight could begin... "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Something came crashing down on Plankton from above! The impact also broke the new crab robot completely.

The six heroes were surprised to see that it was Patrick that unknowingly crashed into Plankton and his robot. "Patrick!" SpongeBob exclaimed in both surprise and relief. The sponge waited until Patrick was in front of them to ask his best friend an important question. "Where did you come from?"

"Um...Up there." Patrick pointed up at the sky. That only confused the heroes when they looked up at the sky.

Plankton groaned in disgust after being squashed by Patrick's behind. "Blech! I need a shower!"

Gokin dropped back in his base form and glared at Plankton again. "Your plans in Bikini Bottom are over, Plankton! Your factory has been shut down and the Jellyfish are free!"

"I'm not gonna give up that easily!" Plankton gave the heroes an evil smirk. "You may have stopped my plans, but the Syndicate is still getting energy from two more worlds!" As he spoke, the controls for the robot became an escape pod for Plankton. "We will soon have enough energy to finish the Doomsday Machine, and then you will all bow down before me! Nothing can stop the Syndicate! NOTHING!" Plankton gave off an evil laugh as he left Bikini Bottom in his escape pod.

The heroes were shocked to hear what Plankton just told them. "Doomsday Machine!?" SpongeBob gulped. "That doesn't sound good."

Gokin growled. "So that's the device that Vlad was talking about! That's why they're stealing energy from our worlds, so they can power up this Doomsday Machine of theirs!"

Jimmy got a portal ready to take the heroes back to Retroville. "We've got to stop them from powering that Doomsday Machine. Otherwise, all of our futures are at risk." Danny said seriously. The six heroes jumped into the portal, leaving Patrick on the roof of the Chum Bucket.

Rather than being sad about being left behind, Patrick just smiled and waved as the portal closed. "Bye, SpongeBob! I'll be waiting for you to come back! The Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy marathon isn't gonna watch itself!"


At last, our heroes finally figured out why the Syndicate is stealing energy from their worlds: to power up this Doomsday Machine of theirs! Both Amity Park and Bikini Bottom have been saved, but there's still three more worlds to go! Where will they go next? Things get even more serious next time on Dragon Ball X: Unite!
