Chapter 2: Power of the Odd Rock
It was finally time for the likes of Plankton to see what the odd rock was all about. The odd rock had been taken out of its lair thanks to some heavy machinery work with the aid of Karen back to Plankton's secret laboratory. The obvious move of the large rock got the attention of Spongebob whom was taking a short nap at the time.
"Wow, what the heck is going on here, it seems like Plankton is building something big!" cried Spongebob, "I better go tell Mr. Krabs about this."
Spongebob immediately enters Mr. Krabs' office whom was still busy counting his money.
"This better be about that assignment I gave you to spy on Plankton" said Mr. Krabs, "because if it isn't, I'm going to fire you for making me loose count on me money."
"But Plankton, sir he's building something big, there's a lot of loud construction noises back in the Chum Bucket" continued Spongebob.
"Well then, go check it out, now please let me go back to counting me money" said Mr. Krabs.
"Yes sir, you can count on me" replied Spongebob as he marched right out.
Back in the secret laboratory within the Chum Bucket, Plankton was being a large machine that had the odd rock in a tube
"So what are you planning to do with this alien rock?" asked Karen.
"Oh, I believe this rock will bring me the right sort of powers to defeat Mr. Krabs and obtain the Krabby Patty secret formula once and for all!" laughed Plankton.
"I don't know, but I feel like this will not end well" sighed Karen.
"Oh please you have been saying that to me for the past hour or so" said Plankton to which he then got under a target he had placed on the floor, "now it's time to unleash those powers I want from that rock!"
"And here we sadly go" sighed Karen as she pressed some buttons on the computer console.
Suddenly, the large laser that was right over Plankton began to charge up. It was just then that Spongebob himself decided to peak through the Chum Bucket door and noticed what was going on.
"Wow, a laser show!" cried Spongebob, "So that's what Plankton is up to, he's going to try to get more customers to the Chum Bucket for a laser show!"
"No you ignorant dupe!" cried Plankton who overheard it as the laser then zapped Plankton with the powers from the odd rock absorbed, Plankton could feel some odd energy flowing through him, "Yes, this is what I had rightfully in mind!"
Suddenly as the dust cleared, Plankton suddenly noticed something different about his eye. It had a glowing blue eye.
"Ha, now to test out my powers starting with Mr. Krabs' most loyal employee!" laughed Plankton as he began walking toward Spongebob.
"Say, Plankton, you look kind of different" said Spongebob.
"Oh, you have noticed the change in my eye?" asked Plankton, "Well that change will bring more than just an eye color change!"
Suddenly blue fireballs emerged from Plankton's hands.
"Yeah baby, now we're talking!" laughed Plankton.
"Wow, Plankton, how did you do that?" asked Spongebob.
Plankton then used his powers to grab Spongebob and literally did a body slam on the poor sponge.
"Wow, what strength!" cried Plankton with joy as he was doing the body slamming against Spongebob.
Plankton then turned poor Spongebob into a ball and literally threw him straight back to the Krusty Krab which Spongebob crashed right through the roof that just so happen to be over Mr. Krabs' office.
"Spongebob, you're back, did you find out what Plankton is plotting?" asked Mr. Krabs.
"Quick Mr. Krabs, you got to hide the secret formula!" cried Spongebob.
"Why?" asked Mr. Krabs.
"Plankton has new powers that he got from a rock he found!" cried Spongebob.
"Hmm, a rock you say, new powers you see, well then it seems like this calls for drastic measures in calling for Bikini Bottom's two greatest heroes to stand up" replied Mr. Krabs, "that is if they'll be working for free."
"You mean I get to go to retrieve Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy?" asked Spongebob.
"Yeah sure, and whoever else wants to help out" replied Mr. Krabs.
As Spongebob dashed out of the Krusty Krab to find his two heroes, Plankton wanted to test out his powers some more before he could go and obtain the Krabby Patty secret formula.
"Are you going to go and get that secret formula now?" asked Karen, "While Spongebob is weak?"
"I want to test out some of my new powers first" replied Plankton as he was heading out, "I'm heading to town and get revenge on some of those whom stepped on me in the past!"
"Oh boy, this will not end well" sighed Karen.
While Plankton was heading to town, Spongebob had managed to make his way to the retirement center where Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were staying. As Spongebob reached the front desk the secretary wasn't happy to see Spongebob again.
"Let me guess, you have come for another visit with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy?" asked the secretary at the desk.
"Oh yes, yes, yes, it's an emergency this time!" cried Spongebob.
"And why should I believe you, those two are pretty old and need their rest, they don't need to be getting up to do any superhero stuff anymore" replied the secretary.
"But it is a big, big, big emergency!" cried Spognebob who was in a panic mode a bit.
The secretary hated to see Spongebob cry like a baby in front of her again, so she had no alternative but to let Spongebob see Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
"Go ahead, but be quick about it" said the secretary who couldn't stand Spongebob.
"Oh boy, thank you, thank you, thank you!" cried Spongebob with joy as he dashed off.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were typically in their room watching television when Spongebob came into the scene.
"Oh great, it's you again, what do you want?" asked Barnacle Boy.
"Please Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, there is evil afoot, Plankton has acquired new powers from an alien rock he had found!" cried Spongebob.
"Did you say evil?" asked Mermaid Man in a bit of a paranoid response.
"Please, you got to help me on this!" cried Spongebob..
"Alright, we'll help you, if you bring in others to help us" replied Barnacle Boy, "like your friends as an example. That way we won't get hurt so much from whatever powers Plankton has acquired."
"Oh thank you so much, I know just the friend who will be helping you" said Spongebob as he was leaving.
