Here's the next chapter of the Yellow Avenger. Last time, the Masked Sponge got captured by Plankton and is now in his clutches about have his secret identity be revealed. Will he get out of this?

Chapter 8: Done

While the Masked Sponge was still tied up and held captive by Plankton in the Chum Bucket, Plankton was about to break the superhero rule and remove SpongeBob's mask.

"Plankton, you can't remove my mask!" SpongeBob cried and pleaded, "It's supposed to hide my secret identity!"

"Doy!" Plankton teased. "That's the whole point! It'll ever so sweet to know that I'll be ruling the world with…" he removed the superhero's mask and gasped in shock to see his true face, "SpongeBob?"

"Heh eh, eh, eh," SpongeBob giggled nervously. "Surprise…Plankton."

"You?" Plankton questioned, still in shock. "You're the Masked Sponge?"

"Maybe that's why he had the word 'Sponge' in his name." Karen pointed out.

"Stay out of this, Karen." Plankton snapped, and then turned his attention back to SpongeBob, "I can't believe I actually thought I could dominate the world with you, and thought that you posed a threat to me."

"Well, I'm sorry, Plankton." SpongeBob apologized. "I still can't dominate the world with you, but if you let me go, we can forget all about this and go on with our lives."

"Are you kidding?" Plankton shouted in SpongeBob's face. "An idiot like you may be the Masked Sponge, but you are in no way a threat to me now." he hopped down and walked over to the large object that was covered by a cloth. He pulled off the cloth and revealed a large ray gun. "Do you know what this is?"

SpongeBob has a nervous look as he answered, "Uh…a very dangerous device?"

"Not just that." Plankton explained, "This is a Largifying Ray. It can size up anything 100 times larger."

"Ooh." SpongeBob said, looking impressed. "That sounds incredible."

"Doesn't it? Why don't we see what happens to Bikini Bottom after I test it out on me?"

SpongeBob gasped in shock, realizing just what Plankton was planning to do. "No! You can't do that! I won't let you!"

"Save your breath, Masked Buffoon," Plankton replied. "You're no superhero! You're just a dumb kid in a bad costume."

SpongeBob looked a bit hurt by these words, and he lowered his head in shame.

"And I have plans to make sure you stay out of my way for good."

Soon, SpongeBob was now in another room and hanging upside-down over a vat of boiling chum just like he was at the beginning of the story. Down below, Plankton was laughing evilly. "See you later, Masked Fool! Mwa, ha, ha, ha!" he said before he walked away.

Plankton ran out into the main lab and stopped right on a target pad. "Karen, hit me!"

Then, the point of the Largifying Ray started to spark until a green beam shot out and hit Plankton. As the ray hit him, he started to grow larger and larger until he got so gigantic that he broke a hole through the Chum Bucket ceiling.

"Yes…YES!" Plankton shouted when he was now 100 feet tall. "It works!"

He stepped out of the Chum Bucket and smirked. "Now…we'll see who's the one Bikini Bottom is stepping on now." Plankton said in a booming voice as he started laughing and heads to the city of Bikini Bottom.

Inside the Chum Bucket, SpongeBob was still hanging from the ceiling over the boiling vat of chum.

'Well, here I am.' SpongeBob's voice began to narrate again. 'Just like I was before…which was technically now since I'm here right now.' SpongeBob then got a confused look as he starts to think, 'Of course I was also here at the beginning and I didn't really get here till later on, so I guess this technically makes it the…'

SpongeBob then shook his head and narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Oh, the heck with it, let's just continue."

'Oh yeah," SpongeBob's voice continued to narrate, 'So, it looks like I'm stuck here and unable to help anyone in danger as the Masked Sponge. But we can always hope that peace is right now occurring at this time.'

Out in Bikini Bottom, all the citizens were running and screaming as the rays almost hit them. Plankton laughed evilly as his antennas sparked with electricity and he shot rays from his giant eye.

"Finally, victory is mine!" the giant Plankton shouted in triumph. "Everyone will cower before me!"

As all the Bikini Bottomites run away in fear, Sandy was nearby watching everyone run past her. "This is nuttier than an acorn bein' eaten by an eight foot boa." She stated in surprise.

Nearby, Perch Perkins was giving a news report. "You see it here, folks." He said into the camera. "A giant one-eyed monster is destroying Bikini Bottom, and any attempts to stop the beast have ended up in failure."

When a helicopter flew towards the giant Plankton, he just growled as he swats it away with his hand.

Perch continued, "Our only hope now rests in the hands of the Masked Sponge. But he has yet to show up. Masked Sponge, if you can hear me, WE NEED YOU!"

Perch screams as Plankton's foot comes crashing down on him and the screen turns to static. In the Chum Bucket lab, SpongeBob was watching the whole news report on a television screen that was on a wall across from him while he was still tied up.

"Gee…I guess everyone really needs the Masked Sponge's help." SpongeBob realized sadly. "Too bad I can't help them right now. Is it because I'm trapped here or because I'm really not as heroic as I think?"

"Hi, Masked Sponge!" a familiar voice called out, and SpongeBob's eyes widen to see Patrick walk through the door.

"Patrick?" SpongeBob asked in shock. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to help you stop Plankton. So, I tried to find you first." Patrick answered. "Boy, I thought it would've been crazy to find you at SpongeBob's house, but then I thought the Chum Bucket would be the most obvious place to find you."

"Well, hurry and get me down from here." SpongeBob said as he tried to get out of his chains. "Push that lever over there!"

Patrick spotted the crane's controls and he stared at it for a few seconds and pushed a random button. "You mean this one?"

"No wait!" SpongeBob tried to warn, but it was too late. The crane suddenly started spinning around with SpongeBob still on it. Then SpongeBob flew right off the hook and hit the wall as the chains loosened up around him, allowing SpongeBob to pull them off.

"Masked Sponge, you're free!" Patrick cheered.

SpongeBob stood up and dust himself up. "Yeah…free…" he said in a dour tone.

"Come on," Patrick excitedly urged. "Let's go save the world."

"No thanks, Patrick." SpongeBob responded sadly as he removed his mask. "I'm done."

"Done?" Patrick asked in a confused tone. "What do you mean 'done'?"

"I'm giving up being a superhero." SpongeBob answered as he slumped over in sadness. "Plankton's right. I'm just a dumb kid in a bad costume."

When SpongeBob began to slowly walk out of the Chum Bucket, Patrick just stared at him until he begun to follow. "Wait, SpongeBob! If you're done, we have to find the Masked Sponge and ask him to stop Plankton instead!"

With the Masked Sponge gone, will Bikini Bottom be doomed by Plankton? Only time will tell. Well, I hope you review before the next chapter comes.
