Hello, everyone! After a very intense cliffhanger last chapter, I am excited to continue the story in the best way possible! I will be attempting to write the chapters faster, so if I am delayed, I apologize in advance! Anyways, please enjoy this chapter, and don't forget to leave a review!

Chapter 8: Twists & Turns

(A butterfly was seen fluttering, but suddenly, the falling train car swooped down and caused the butterfly to fly out of control. Luckily, it came out okay. The train car was falling, with everyone (except an unconscious Patrick) screaming, while Doofenshmirtz and the pets tried to hold on.)

Squidward: What are we gonna do?! We're all gonna die!

Sandy: No, we won't! We just need to find something to slow our fall down! Something strong and very sticky; something that can stick very tight!

Plankton: (climbs onto the window and notices a giant canister) Well, what about sticky string?

Barry: Of course! The material is sticky enough to slow the descent of the fall! We just need enough to make it.

Mr. Krabs: Great idea, but how are we going to get there? It's too far!

SpongeBob: Don't worry! I'm a sponge! (stretches his arms out wide) See? (stretches his arms out wide enough to reach the pole and the door handle) When I give the signal, pull me in! Got it?

Sandy: Got it!

SpongeBob: (moves back, then takes out his hydro-dynamic spatula and runs out of the train) Whoo! (as he flies into the air, he laughs) Hey, this is amazing! (looking out the view) I love the view out here!

Phineas: Hey, don't get too distracted! We need the string!

SpongeBob: Oh, yeah! (flies over to the canister and grabs it) Got it! (climbs to the top, but suddenly the train falls further, causing SpongeBob to start falling off, so he wraps his hands around the canister) Almost got it! (the canister cracks open) Oh, no!

He flew back onto the train, and the lid came off as the canister fell down.

Buford: Well, at least he got it open!

Emma: And how exactly are we supposed to press it?

(Patrick regains consciousness.)

Patrick: Hey, what did I miss? (sees the train falling and screams; begins to panic) We're gonna die! We're gonna die! (crying) We're gonna die!

Ravi: Hey, don't panic; we have a plan. We just had some implications.

Patrick: Don't worry, we can use this! (holds out a bazooka cannon, leaving everyone shocked)

Karen: Why do you keep that?

Patrick: Because I like it. And in case I want to blow up a giant watermelon. Let's fire it!

Doofenshmirtz: No! If you fire that, it will explode! (he and the pets enter)

SpongeBob: Gary?

Plankton: Spot?

Phineas: Perry?

All Three: How did you get here?

Doofenshmirtz: It's a rather long story, but there's no time!

Patrick: Let's fire this!

Doofenshmirtz: No! (tries to stop him, and they both have a wimpy fight, resulting in the missile being fired accidentally; it grows out through the window and right at the canister; it explodes, leaving a giant river of sticky string falling onto the train car and stopping its descent just moments before it hits the ground).

Patrick: See? It worked, and nobody got in any problems.

Miley: (she and Lilly are covered in sticky string) Well, I got a problem. I got sticky string all over me!

Lilly: Yeah, I think there's some in my hair!

(A nearby drone locates the string-covered train car. It flies over to it. It locates SpongeBob and Patrick.)

SpongeBob: (washing the string off the girls) Easy. Ah, done! (Everyone notices the drone)

Squidward: Um, what is it doing?

(The drone scans the sponge and star, and then fires a laser at the group. The drone then tries to fire at Patrick, and grabs him.)

SpongeBob: Patrick! (Tries to grab him, but the drone wraps his arms and places a jetpack on his back before activating it, and the sponge starts to fly away, with two ropes on the jetpack activating hooks and grabbing Cyd and Emma before carrying them off)

Shelby: Oh, no; that's my best friend being carried away! Cyd!

Cyd: Shelby! Don't worry! We'll be back!

Zuri: Emma! Will you be okay?!

Emma: I promise!

(In the air, the sponge and girls are noticing the breathtaking view. There are stars in the air and beautiful twinkling lights.)

SpongeBob: Hey, the view is amazing! It's like a piece of art.

Emma: I agree! It's so beautiful! I think my clothing style can be more like this.

Cyd: (noticing the drones carrying Patrick) Hey, I see your friend! He's right there! And is he wearing Bermuda shorts?

SpongeBob: I know; that's his clothing brand. He feels so cool in it. Anyway, hang on! (activates the jetpack and flies off; unbeknownst to them, some drones snap a picture of him, then they send it to Anti-SB).

Drone: He is still alive.

Anti-SB: And if he's still alive, so must his friend. Send in all nearby drones! We can't let them ruin the plan! (presses a red button and numerous drones chase after the jetpack).

(Meanwhile, Patrick is still restrained by some drones.)

Patrick: Look, I don't have any trouble with you, but can you please let go? (A drone hisses at him.) Okay, okay, please don't do that again! (He suddenly hears something speeding towards him and notices his friend approaching him.) SpongeBob? (Gasps in delight.) SpongeBob, I'm right here!

SpongeBob: Don't worry, Patrick! We're heading towards you! We'll get you out!

Suddenly, a noise is heard.

Emma: Hey, did you hear something?

SpongeBob: What? I didn't hear anything.

A laser is fired, which misses them, and it hits Patrick in his forehead from behind.

Patrick: Ow! What's the big idea?

SpongeBob: We didn't do it!

Cyd: Um, I think they did it.

The others notice up to 50 drones heading their direction, all armed with lasers and other weapons.

SpongeBob: Oh, no; we need to outmaneuver them! Hang on! (activates the jetpack and he and the girls outmaneuver the drones which are firing in all directions)

Emma: Go left! No, right! There's too many of them! (a drone hits her arm with a laser) Ow!

Cyd: You need to move up! And try to move in a circle!

SpongeBob: Hey, if you don't like my crazy flying, why not doing it yourself? But I don't know how to do that just yet!

More drones fire at the group as the drones carrying Patrick turn around.

Patrick: Hey, where are we going?

Drone: To pick the rest of your friends.

Patrick: (chuckles) Wait, what?

SpongeBob: They're heading after everyone else! We have to stop them! (turns back and follows the racing drones, with the rest approaching nearby)

Meanwhile, back onto the ground...

Mr. Krabs: Hmm, so what did those drones want with me fry cook and Patrick?

Plankton: I don't know. This feels suspicious.

A laser hits the window of the train car, shattering it, causing glass to fall.

Jessie: What the heck?

Farkle: Whoa! That came out of nowhere!

Riley: (noticing something and is shocked) Um, Maya?

Maya: What is it, Riley? (noticing something and is too shocked) Um, guys...

Everyone notices more lasers being fired and Patrick being grabbed by the drones, with Patrick trying to get out.

Patrick: Let go of me! (whacks his arm into a drone, which causes it to fly out of control)

Patrick is heading towards the group as the drones lose his grip, causing him to fall onto the ground.

Patrick: Hey, that didn't hurt at all!

Squidward: (crushed by Patrick) Speak for yourself. And get off me! (pushes Patrick off him)

Patrick: Okay, okay, calm down. Can't a guy crash into someone once in a while?

Squidward: Not if your body lands on top of them!

Phineas: So, have you found your friend?

Patrick: Yes, but there's a little problem.

Mr. Krabs: How little?

More lasers are fired at the group, one of which hits Mr. Krabs' arm.

Mr. Krabs: Okay, that little. More like "big."

SpongeBob, along with the girls, are racing towards the train car, with numerous drones approaching.

SpongeBob: There are drones coming! Everyone, inside the train! Hurry!

Everyone races inside the train car as lasers are being fired; the sponge and girls enter soon afterwards as everyone tries to duck and cover to avoid getting hit. Suddenly, the noise stops.

Plankton: Huh? It stopped?

Ravi: Go check to make there are no more of those crazy robots.

Patrick checks and sees nothing out there.

Patrick: Okay, we're good! Oh, by the way, SpongeBob, hand me the box, would you? I want to keep it fresh.

SpongeBob: (reluctant) Okay... (takes it out and hands it to Patrick)

Patrick: (grabs the box and takes out a towel to clean it) Perfect! Now nothing can... (a laser suddenly hits the box and it falls to the ground, but it doesn't break) Uh-oh...

The box suddenly starts glowing numerous colors, intensifying more quickly.

Max: What is the box doing?

Justin: Max, whenever something like that happens, it's not good...

The box suddenly opens a portal next to the train, and everybody notices.

Luke: Whoa! Those portals are amazing!

Lucas: Don't get too excited. Power has dangerous problems.

Buford: Oh, please, what bad thing could possibly happen?

The box suddenly releases a massive power and sucks the train into the portal. A nearby drone documents this.

Drone: The box is beaming away. We need to find it.

Anti-SB: Diabolical. Anti-Sandy, get soldiers on the line and locate where the box went. We have to find it! It's the big key to everything that's about to happen soon enough...

Anti-Sandy: Gotcha, boss! (presses a button and numerous drones release color beams, creating rifts, as they go inside said rifts)

Anti-SB: Soon, the upper hand... (clenches fist) will be mine. (laughs maniacally)

Meanwhile, a portal appears and the train car comes out, landing on some train tracks. The lights are almost completely off.

Plankton: Where did we land?

Patrick: Hold on, let me get my toy candle.

He activates it, and it's revealed that the train is on the top of a giant hill, with the entire display revealed to be a roller coaster ride.

Naldo: A roller coaster?

Barry: Um, Naldo, we are on the top of a giant hill.

Harper: Um, that's not good. We are over a thousand feet above the air!

Sandy: It's okay; as long as there's no movement, we should be okay.

Patrick: Okay. (accidentally trips, but the train doesn't go down the hill)

SpongeBob: (laughs in relief) Whew, for a moment there, I thought we'd go down this really big hill. (blows a gust of wind and the train tilts down) Oh, no... here we go...

The train races down the train tracks as everyone inside the train car is screaming, trying to hold on. The train goes up over a few hills, then goes around a loop-de-loop, before spinning rapidly in an intersecting circle numerous times before zigzagging through the tracks. The tracks move up and directly to the left before moving further up, with the tracks and train moving upside down. The train zig-zags back to normal as it continues moving. The train, speeding very rapidly, passes a sign that says "Warning! Railway Express Midday Service Ahead!"

Candace: Hey! What did that sign say?!

Sandy: It said, "Railway Express Midday Service Ahead!"

Zuri: What does that mean?!

Squidward: I don't know!

Miley: (pointing ahead) Um, I think it means that...

Hundreds of train cars are on the tracks, all moving very rapidly at a different pace, with the movements being very similar to a freeway.

Ferb: Um, we might want to hang on.

The train speeds rapidly out of control as it dodges pass the numerous trains, while Doofenshmirtz flies out of the train, but Perry grabs onto him and tries to hang on to the train with the use of his grappling hook.

Doofenshmirtz: Perry the Platypus, don't let go!

Perry: (chatters and gives a thumbs-up)

The train speeds rapidly as numerous trains approach from all directions. The train tracks shift position, and some of them go left, right, up, down. The trains move in their directions, with the train tracks and trains nearly avoiding the one the kids are on. The train owners suddenly pull out laser guns.

Isabella: Why do they have laser guns out?

Everyone notices a sign that says "Train Laser Battle: all citizens - prepare to defend themselves."

Lilly: "Train Laser Battle?" Oh, come on!

Train conductor #1: Everyone, positions!

Train conductor #2: Fire! Fire now!

The train conductors and citizens fire numerous lasers at each other, some stunning other people. Perry's grappling hook lets go as he and Doofenshmirtz fall.

Phineas: Oh, no! Perry!

Candace: (gasps) Oh, no!

Perry and Doofenshmirtz land onto the top of a moving train as more lasers are being fired. A nearby laser hits a board, causing the tracks to fall alongside the train. The train smashes onto the track of the train and it collapses, with the train Perry and Doofenshmirtz are on heading for it. Perry uses his grappling hook to get him and Doofenshmirtz onto another train. Back onto the train car, the group is trying to avoid getting hit by the numerous lasers.

Mr. Krabs: Don't worry! We're okay! But we need to defend ourselves.

Patrick: Why not try the bazooka again? (holds it up)

Squidward: No, no, no, no! (tackles Patrick and the bazooka fires again at another train track, causing it and said train to fall) You idiot!

SpongeBob: Well, at least nothing bad happened.

The train tracks suddenly change position and it goes up and twists into a pyramid position.

Sandy: Say something too soon, and fate brings it upon us.

As the tracks positions change into more perilous tracks and outcomes, more trains start firing across the train tracks, causing many trains to fall. The train that Doofenshmirtz and Perry are on speeds more rapidly as the tracks change positions and go in a loop-de-loop.

Doofenshmirtz: Uh-oh. That's not good. (yells as the train goes through the loop-de-loop. He and Perry fall, but they fall onto another train) Hey, good timing.

The train speeds more rapidly as the laser battle fight continues. One of the conductors gets stunned by a laser, and accidentally drops his laser gun, which falls in the train car on where the kids are.

Farkle: Hmm, looks like luck came to us.

Jessie: Don't worry; my dad taught me how to use weapons like these - well, the ones that aren't shooting lasers. (she uses it to good advantage to knock out some train conductors)

Meanwhile, Perry and Doofenshmirtz are trying to get back into the train car.

Doofenshmirtz: Look, there it is!

Two people hold their guns at them.

Doofenshmirtz: Let's talk this out, like reasonable men.

They fire, but they miss, and more trains are damaged as a result. As the tracks continue to fall, the doctor and platypus try to get back on top. Perry uses his grappling hook, and this time, gets him and Doofenshmirtz back on top - and inside - the train car.

Doofenshmirtz: Well, that was exhausting.

Phineas: Hey, Perry! And Doofenshmirtz, or should I say Dr. D. It's fun to say it like that.

Doofenshmirtz: Hmm, shorter and catchier. I like it!

SpongeBob: Hmm, like my boss Mr. Krabs. At times, I like to call him "Mr. K."

Squidward: I like to do it a few times, too. A bit for sarcasm, but hey, good point.

Alex: Yeah, I enjoy the sarcasm, but can we enjoy it when we are not in danger?!

SpongeBob: Okay, okay; good point.

The sign says "course almost complete."

Oliver: Hey, what'd that sign say?

Sandy: It said "course almost complete." We're almost home-free!

Everyone celebrates in success.

Patrick: Nothing can hurt us now!

The train car continues speeding as the other trains battle. One conductor throws a grenade, which hits the train track and explodes. The damage causes the tracks to collapse and fall very quickly, with the train car being on the tracks that are crumbling apart.

Squidward: (noticing the collapsing tracks) You moron! You say something, then it falls into our faces!

Patrick: Hey, I didn't intentionally cause this to happen.

Sandy: Can we talk about this later?! We're hanging on for dear life over here!

As the tracks continue falling, a laser hits one of the wheels, causing it to grate. Gary, who was on top of the window, falls, but is grabbed by Phineas.

Phineas: Don't worry, little snail, I got ya! (the train shakes and he falls too, but Isabella grabs his leg)

Isabella: I got you, Phineas; now hold on!

The train grates more, and Isabella falls out, with her hand on the railing of the moving train car. The tracks continue to fall more quickly as the exit begins to get closer. Candace grabs Isabella's hand.

Candace: Don't worry! (tries to pull them up, and receives help from Buford and Baljeet; they pull the kids back up)

The exit sign says "Course complete! Exit this way!"

Emma: Hey, we're there! We made it through!

Everyone celebrates, but suddenly, the train starts to tilt backwards, as the tracks have ran out in the process, and the train is tilting on the edge of a rock with a giant abyss on the other side.

Squidward: Mommy, I don't wanna die! (sobs, but stops when everyone is looking at him in confusion) Um, I had some felt into that.

Everyone yelps as the train tilts more down.

Plankton: This is not how I wanted to die! I wanted to die with me defeating Krabs and getting the Krabby Patty Secret Formula before ruling the world with an iron fist!

Cyd: Okay, that's just plain crazy - and I once ate chocolate out of the trash.

Sandy: Okay, so how we get out?

Phineas: Not to worry! Ferb and I brought some old fireworks to use in case!

Patrick: (grabs them) Let's do it! (lights a match)

Phineas: Wait, we haven't checked the correct position to light them exactly!

Patrick: Math, math... it's easy. Just aim right there and light em up! (puts the match on the string of the fireworks and he gets pulled with them; the amount of fireworks causes the train car to pull out of the rock and fly directly towards the platform) See? I told you it would work!

The train lands on the platform, but spins rapidly out of control.

Alex: And you didn't know the flight path. He's such a big idiot.

Patrick: Hey, I heard that!

Harper: How do you stop this thing?

SpongeBob: The emergency brakes! (tries to pull them, but it's not working) It's not working! (pulls harder) I need help!

Mr. Krabs: (runs to the sponge) I gotta ya, laddie! Pull! (he and SpongeBob pull very hard, and it works, with the train slowing down, but the brakes snap off in the process) Oh...

The train spins out of control briefly before it stops safely. Everyone feels nauseous and over-burnt from the crazy experience, with some of them moaning in mind shock from that.

Sandy: I feel like a burnt slice of Texas toast.

Riley: I think my head fell down a waterfall.

Patrick: At least we're... (Mr. Krabs' claw goes through Patrick's mouth)

Mr. Krabs: No! No more. Watch what you say. We can be in danger once more. Ok? (Patrick nods) Good. (lets go of Patrick's mouth)

Suddenly, a noise is heard and everybody checks outside. They go out and witness another portal. Out from that portal comes two guys and two girls. One boy is blonde, while the other two girls are brunettes, and the other boy is a bit of a redhead.

Boy #1: Whoa, who are you guys? And is that a sponge?

SpongeBob: Technically, I'm a porous creature, but yeah, I'm a sponge. Call me SpongeBob. Oh, and the sea star that's my best friend, that's Patrick. Say hi, Patrick.

Patrick: Hi.

SpongeBob: And who are you guys, to what we have the pleasure of introducing to?

Boy #1: I'm Austin Moon, and this is my partner and best friend, Ally Dawson.

Ally: Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'll admit, it's a bit weird talking to a sea sponge that speaks.

SpongeBob: Yeah, everybody says that; it just happens.

Sandy: I'm a talking squirrel. My name's Sandy. You get used to talking critters after a while.

Austin: Whoa! A talking squirrel? That's awesome!

Ally: And a little crazy. Oh, we almost forgot; we have our other friends, Trish and Dez.

Trish: Hey, I'm Trish.

Dez: Hi, I'm Dez. Whoa, is that a talking sea star?

Patrick: Yeah. Besides, I'm very smart. I launched some fireworks and saved us!

Sandy: Only barely! We nearly perished because of you!

Patrick: Sorry; at least I got the moves to dance! (tries to dance, but trips and falls)

SpongeBob: Not much, but I'm a dancer myself. I like to make some great moves.

Austin: You're a dancer? I'm one, too! Let's show each other our moves!

Ally: Maybe later. The weirdest thing just happened. We saw a mysterious portal and...

Everyone: ...and we got sucked in.

Ally: How did you know that?

SpongeBob: We all went through it, thanks to this mysterious box. (the box activates and opens a portal underneath their feet) Oh, no...

Everyone screams as they land on a giant pancake. There is maple syrup on it.

Squidward: Ew!

Patrick: Oh, it's glorious! It's Pancake World!

Everyone notices the pancakes and sees a giant land filled with syrup waterfalls, pancake buildings, and blueberry stores!

Austin: Oh, I like pancakes! Did I get hit in heaven?

Phineas: No. But it's delicious! Come on, let's get moving.

Everyone moves through the utopia as numerous drones are flying by, revealed to be Anti-SB's drones.

Anti-SB: (observing) The box is taking them off-course. We need to get it. Seize it from them, if necessary.

Drone: Got it. (the drones race into the water and Anti-SB chuckles smugly)

Anti-SB: Soon, the game comes to plan... (laughs evilly and walks out)

Well, that's our chapter! Took longer than planned, but I'm trying to finish more quicker! We have introduced characters from Austin & Ally! It'll be our last show for now, as I want to focus more on the story, but don't get so down; I'll introduce more shows later on! Until then, stay cool, buddies!
