The further they entered the darkness, the more the light started to dissapear. Soon, the light dissapeared.
"I cannot see anything, my Hero!" River exclaimed.
"I can." Spongebob was looking straight at a girl, in the darkness, smiling. Because finally, she has found what she was looking for. A yellow sponge, a land creature, her daughter and a pink starfish. She started to laugh.
"I thought youd just be hiding from me, but it seems you were more stupid than I thought." Shandra stepped out of the darkness.
"I never run away from a fight." Spongebob said. She started to laugh again.
"You will be running when you find out it is useless to try and win, you will just end up crashing and burning. Literally.
Shandra raised her hands in the air, the darkness shot after River.
"My hero, help me!" River screamed. Spongebob snapped out of his focus for winning, and wondered what Shandra would do to River. As he thought of the fear, Sandys hand began to burn.
"Ahh!" She screamed.
"Sandy!" Spongebob ran to her, but it did nothing to comfort her.
"Get...River..." She collapsed.
"Leave me friends alone, please!" He yelled.
The darkness seemed like it was getting stronger, it shot after Sandy.
"Whoa, its winning.." Patrick said.
"It cant win..." Spongebob remembered again, what Shandra said to him a year ago.
"One hates, one loves, he laughs, she cries. The one who hates was spared, the one who loved, died. though the one who died, gave her love to the one who once laughed. So I may now live in peace, with the one who laughs. He once hated, but now loves. So now, I may forever live in peace."
Suddenly, the darkness spat out Sandy, throwing her to the ground...Her helmit broken.
"Sandy!" Spongebob knew he couldnt do anything...He became very angry. his eyes glowed with rage, and his hands glowed with power. Still though, the darkness was getting stronger out of Spongebobs rage.
"You have killed my friend... You... You will perish, you horrid curse." Spongebob said.
"Hero... Stop! You will only make it stronger!" River said.
"Donut!" Patrick yalped. Spongebob kept going closer to the darkness, getting stronger as well.
"Spongebob, it is useless.." Shandra said.
"What is useless is your resistance." Spongebob said. "You will be defeated, destroyed, killed." Shandra, the REAL Shandra was shocked at what he said.
"You have killed Sandy, the only way to save the world is to destroy you, once and for all!"
Sandy suddenly awoke, althought her helmit was broken.
"What the heck?" She thought. She saw Spongebob and all the darkness.
"Sandy, we must stop this curse, now!" Spongebob exclaimed. Sandy ran over to him.
"What will we do?" Sandy asked.
"Hold my hand." He said. Sandy just looked at him in a wierd way.
"Say what?"
"Just do it!"
She held his hand, a blinding light surrounded them, suddenly, Sandys wounds were healed, and her helmit was fixed.
"What the.."
"Sandy, focus. Focus on what you need to do." Spongebob closed his eyes, focusing on what he needed, Sandy followed along.
Just then, Sharktooth roared in anger. Shandra didnt know what to do.
"What now?" Sandy asked.
"I need to fight Sharktooths curse."
"But, I gotta help.." Sandy said.
"Then come on, we need to go into the center of the curse."
Sandy gulped.
