Authors Note: Thanx for all the reviews! Sorry I haven't been able to update for a little while, but I was away on a school camping trip (It was great!). Now I would like to thank each reviewer!

sponge-fan: Thanks for the great review! To create border lines, go to the preview/edit area when you post a chapter, go to the line you want the border line on, and then click the border line button at the top! (P.S. When will your new story come out? I'm dying to read it!)

A Nonymous: Thanks for the cliffhanger comment! Yes the fear dude will play a part throughout the story (I'm planing a big plot twist around him!).

Anonymous: Thanks for the review!

Anonymous critic: Thanks for the great review!

anyomunos: Thanks for the review! But this isn't gonna be an action story, it's more of a mystery.

SpongeBob awoke with a sharp pain in his head. He touched the spot that the pain was coming from and felt a large bump coming from his head. "Hey, you awake kid?" asked a friendly voice. SpongeBob looked around and saw a blue fish sitting next to him with a magazine open in his lap. "Uhhhh" was all that SpongeBob could say, the intense pain was pounding in his head. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, SpongeBob was able to ask one of the many questions that were filling is brain. "Where am I?" he asked weakly. "Your in the hide out of the last remaining defense group in the ocean" said the blue fish in a rather cheery voice considering the seriousness of what he had just said. Last defense? Hide out? What the heck was going on here? "My names Jerry, by the way" said Jerry. "Who was that guy that threw the rock at me?" was the second question that SpongeBob asked. "Oh, that was just Rick," said Jerry. "He's been like that ever since a mission that he went on last year. Actually, everybody that went on that mission was like that when they came back. But Rick over there is the only one that stayed" continued Jerry, as he pointed to Rick, who was sitting on a chair in the back corner of the hide out. "What did you mean by 'Last Defense" said SpongeBob, referring to what Jerry had said before. "That is a very long story," said Jerry in a more serious voice. "But I suppose that you will need to learn it sometime. So I will tell you." and soon Jerry was weaving a tale that SpongeBob was amazed that it was true.

"As you may know, there are 3 different times: Past, Present and Future" Jerry began. "But what you probably don't know is that they are all separate worlds. For instance, the world that you know in the present. But the one you are in now is the future. Usually, these worlds are completely separate. But for about a month each year they overlap, and portals are created between the worlds. This happens to be that very month, so we were able to pull you through to this world.

"But there has been a murderer on the loose and we suspect that he might try to destroy this world. You might be wondering what this has to do with you. Well I'll tell you. Since our worlds are overlapped right now, our world being destroyed will in turn destroy yours, and the world of the past. That's where we come in. Were trying to stop this Guy." and with that Jerry ended the story. "Wow" said SpongeBob. "But why did you pull me through?" he asked. Jerry pulled out a book. It was very large and was black with golden letters spelling out the word "Prophesies". "This a book a prophecies written by an old fish named Erol Teketh. All of the prophecies that he foretold have come true, and this last one is coming true. You see, it talks about a man named Bob the Sponge vanquishing an evil fish and saving all of the worlds. There is no Bob the Sponge, but your name is SpongeBob and that's close enough" said Jerry, his cheery voice resurfacing. "So only one question remains" he said as he closed the book. "Will you help us?"

Authors Note: Will SpongeBob face up to the challenge? Find out in chapter 4. Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter! Thanx for reading! Again, and this goes for every chapter, after 5 reviews, I will update. By the way, I've seen people do this disclaimer thingy so I might as well do it to.

Disclaimer Note: I don't own SpongeBob. I do own this story, Jerry and Rick and anything else that is not mentioned in SpongeBob that isn't in here.
