Bikini Bottom, a normally tranquil undersea society, is about to take a dark turn. In his lab at the Chum Bucket, Plankton was constructing a massive machine. As he tightened the last bolt, he laughed evilly at his magnificent creation.

Plankton: "At last it is complete!"-Plankton proclaimed, maniacally-"Karen, come in here and witness my masterpiece."

A quiet groan was heard but Karen halfheartedly rolled into the laboratory. She seemed uninterested but still came to stand beside her husband, who continued to maniacally laugh.

Karen: "This better be good."-said Karen, annoyed-"I'm missing my soap operas for this."

Plankton: "Oh you better believe it's good, sweetie."-said Plankton, confidently-"Karen my computer wife, feast your screen on the Duplicatotron 3000!"

Plankton revealed a massive machine, towering over both him and Karen. It possessed various switches and levers, a tube protruding from the top and a massive label on the top of it.

Karen: "Oh and what does this masterpiece of yours do!"-asked Karen, sarcastically

Plankton: "I'm glad you asked, Karen. With this baby I'll be able to create my very own robot army that I will use to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula."-Plankton obliviously explained-"And if the whole town gets destroyed in the process...oh well."

Karen: "Gee can't wait to see how this blows up in your face."

Ignoring his wife's comment, Plankton jumped up onto the on lever. He then pulled out a checklist with only one item on it.

Plankton: "Okay time to make sure I've got everything down. Object one: is Plankton a genius? Yes!"-Plankton said while checking off the item-"Okay checklist over! Let's make some robots."

Plankton jumped down and struggled a bit before finally pulling down the lever. The machine began working before it created a small robot that seemed to be made of various metal blocks and held a shocking stick in its hand, this robot was called the 'fodder' of all things.

Plankton: "Yes! It work!"-exclaimed Plankton, confidently-"With this I can create my army and the formula will be mine! I gotta get a photo of this for my scrap book."

Plankton then noticed the machine had created three more identical robots and all four began surrounding him. He initially believed they were following him but then noticed their eyes switch from green to red. He backed away in fear as the robots held their sticks threateningly.

Plankton: "What's going on?"-asked Plankton, terrified-"There not listening to me."

Karen: "Well of course their bot, you switched it to 'don't obey'!"-Karen deadpanned-"Seriously who even makes that a setting?"

Plankton looked to where Karen indicated and noticed that the lever was indeed switched to the 'don't obey' setting. He then looked back to Karen who was now practically staring directly at him.

Karen: "I can't believe that once again I'm the one who has to..."

Karen slumped over and the green line on her screen disappeared, indicated she had shut down. Plankton sweated nervously while looking to his wife in worry.

Plankton: "Karen?"-Plankton asked while turning his head-"Holy Shrimp!!!"

Plankton looked and saw one fodder with a chord from its head plugged into the panel on the wall, revealing that it had shut down Karen. The robot unplugged itself and rolled to join the others. The fodders all picked up Plankton and began rolling towards the exit. Plankton squirmed and tried to pull himself free of his creations' grasp, but to no avail.

Plankton: "You can't do this, I'm your master. I made you!"-Plankton fruitlessly pleaded-"No not the door! My good china!"


Meanwhile at SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob and Patrick sat on the floor playing with toys. SpongeBob moved a small plastic racehorse along the floor, mimicking a gallop, while Patrick wheeled around a small robot toy.

SpongeBob: "And so Lady Glitterhoof returned to the land of horses after the defeat of the robots. The end."-SpongeBob narrated the game

Patrick: "Tartar sauce! I loose again."-said Patrick, disappointed

The two then laughed a put their toys down. At the game SpongeBob laughed so hard he was almost crying. The two settled down and regained their composure.

SpongeBob: "Ah another good game of robots and racehorses, ay Patrick?"

Patrick: "Sure is."-Patrick agreed-"Except I keep getting the robots and the racehorses mixed up."

SpongeBob: "Wouldn't it be cool if we had real robots to play with?"-SpongeBob asked, getting an idea-"I'd name mine 'Robo Jr.' or maybe 'Zorlon' or how about 'Frankie'?"

Patrick: "Yeah these old unreal robots are getting kinda boring."-Patrick agreed-"Hey how about we make real robots with this?"

Patrick stood up and pulled a conch shell from his pocket. The shell appeared similar to the magic conch shell, though it lacked the speaker. SpongeBob then stood up and eyed the shell in his best friend's hand.

SpongeBob: "Ooh is that the magic conch shell?"-SpongeBob asked, curiously

Patrick: "No it's the magic wishing shell."-Patrick explained-"But it did come from the same store."

SpongeBob: "So what's the difference?"-asked SpongeBob, curiously-"They look the same."

Patrick: "SpongeBob, the difference is that instead of answering questions, this shell grants the wishes."-Patrick explained-"So this will get us real robots."

SpongeBob: "Does it really work?"

Patrick: "Sure it works."-Patrick scoffed-"This one time I just had one big cookie crumb and I was really hungry, so I put the cookie crumb into the magic wishing shell and when I woke up I had lots of little cookie crumbs."

SpongeBob: "Wow that's so cool!"-said SpongeBob, amazed-"So how does it work?"

Patrick: "So first we put the toy robot into the magic wishing shell."-Patrick said while placing the toy robot in the shell

SpongeBob: "Okay."

Patrick: "Then we say the magic wishing word."

SpongeBob: "Okay."

Patrick: "Now shake the magic wishing shell."-as he says this, Patrick shakes the shell

SpongeBob: "Okay."

Patrick: "Now we just pull the string and..."

Patrick pulls the string and as it retracts a voice comes from the shell.

Shell: "Your wish is my command."

SpongeBob: "Wait it already granted my wish?"-asked SpongeBob, shocked-"I thought we had to say the magic wishing words?"

Patrick: "You already did."

SpongeBob: "So 'okay' is the magic wishing word?"-asked SpongeBob, confused

Patrick: "Well not the magic wishing word it came with."-Patrick admitted-"It used to be 'ala-alakazeemer-bopper-zelmer-zolmer-teeter-toter' but I kept forgetting it."

SpongeBob: "Oh that makes sense."-said SpongeBob, satisfied-"So when will the robots be here."

Patrick: "Just sleep with this beside your bed tonight and they'll be here first thing in the morning."-said Patrick, handing SpongeBob the shell-"Well I gotta get home. Bye SpongeBob."

SpongeBob: "Bye Patrick."

Patrick then turned and walked out the door to the house and left. SpongeBob looked down at the magic wishing shell and walked to another room in his house.


The next morning SpongeBob woke up to the usual sound of his foghorn alarm clock. He jumped out of bed and into his pants. SpongeBob then skipped down the stairs while excited to find his wish for robots.

SpongeBob: "Gonna okay with robots! Gonna play with robots! Gonna play with...woah!"

SpongeBob arrived in his living room to find that it had been completely trashed. The wallpaper was tearing, much of the furniture was turned on its side, some pictures and his fishhook decoration had fallen to the floor and there was a massive "your Bikini Bottom stinks" on the wall in red paint. SpongeBob then noticed Gary in the room and walked up to him.

SpongeBob: "Gary, did you do this?"-SpongeBob asked, slightly raising his voice

SpongeBob initially seemed upset but this disappeared when Gary meowed to him.

SpongeBob: "Than who did?"-asked SpongeBob, curiously-"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly the news came and SpongeBob had to turn to the tv. The news anchor, Realistic Fish Head, appeared on the screen and showed a report about robots.

Realistic Fish Head: "We interrupt your program with breaking news."-the fish announced-"Bikini Bottom is under attack by robots!"

SpongeBob: "Robots!?"

Realistic Fish Head: "Yes you've heard me, robots."-the anchor non-coherently answered-"Switching you over to Perch Perkins on the scene."

SpongeBob went and got closer to the news as the tv switched screens. It now showed Perch Perkins reporting on the streets, the city trashed behind him.

Perch Perkins: "Thanks Fish. This is Perch Perkins reporting live from downtown Bikini Bottom where robots are on a rampage."-Perch announced-"There now stand parts of town that have been almost completely overtaken by robots and citizens have evacuated to other parts or even left altogether. The question is..."

Suddenly Perch was cut off when he was poked in the back by a robot's electric stick and falls to the ground. The robot laughs and rolls out of view. Perch then gets back up off the ground.

Perch Perkins: "The question is: is anyone safe and what has started this?"

Suddenly SpongeBob felt a sudden guilt and regret was over him. He had known that his wish started all this and he realized what it was doing. The screen switches back to the news room with Realistic Fish Head still there.

Realistic Fish Head: "Yes this robotic rampage just appeared out of nowhere last night."-said Fish Head, obliviously-"While it's true origins are unclear, Bikini Bottom's top suspect, Sheldon Plankton, denies any involvement in this crisis."

The screen switches to show Plankton, who is angrily shaking his fist.

Plankton: "I'll step on your children! And your children's children!"

It then switches back to the news anchor who once again pulled up announcements.

Realistic Fish Head: "And the robots are only making things worse."-said Fish Head while pulling up footage-"As prove we will show you this footage of local citizens, who we totally have permission from to show this, what the robots will do."

It then shows videos of Squidward trying to retrieve his vegetables from the garden, Patrick fighting over his socks with a robot, Sandy attempting to stop a robot from breaking her dome and Mr. Krabs trying to retrieve his money from a robot. SpongeBob fell to his knees and began to cry with guilt. Gary then slithers up behind him and looked at him with concern.

SpongeBob: "Oh Gary this is all my fault!"-said SpongeBob through tears-"If I hadn't made that stupid wish none of this would have happened!"

As SpongeBob cried Gary slithered up onto his head and snuggled against him. SpongeBob looked up and couldn't help but stroke Gary's eyestalks.

SpongeBob: "That's sweet, Gary."-SpongeBob admitted, touched-"Oh but it just doesn't help right now."

Gary then began meowing and SpongeBob listened to what he said.

SpongeBob: "Fix it?"-asked SpongeBob, confused-"Your right, Gary, I can't just sit around moping. It's time to take action! Love you."

SpongeBob screams and runs out through his door. When he made it out he felt his foot land on something and a faint scream was heard.

SpongeBob: "Ugh I think I stepped in something."-said SpongeBob, disgusted and trying to scrape it off."

???: "Not in something, on someone!"

SpongeBob looked down and found none other than Plankton stuck to the bottom of his shoe. He pulled Plankton off and set him down.

SpongeBob: "Plankton, what are you doing?"-asked SpongeBob, panicked-"Don't you know there's robots destroying the town?"

Plankton: "I know that you buffoon, that's why I'm here."-said Plankton, irritated-"I know how you always stop me so I need you two stop this crisis, which I totally had nothing to do with, and save the town."

SpongeBob: "Plankton, I'm going to do just that."-said SpongeBob, confidently

SpongeBob tan past Plankton and away from his pineapple. When leaving notices Patrick fighting over a sock with a robot. Using his great strength Patrick threw the robot head-first into the ground before hugging his sock. After hugging his sock, Patrick noticed SpongeBob and waved to him.

Patrick: "Oh hey, SpongeBob!"-Patrick greeted-"Where are you going."

SpongeBob: "Oh hey, Patrick, I'm going to go stop this robot apocalypse."-SpongeBob answered

As SpongeBob answered Patrick's jaw immediately dropped. He then ran over to SpongeBob and began shaking him.

Patrick: "Are you crazy, SpongeBob?"-asked Patrick, panicked-"This is dangerous!"

SpongeBob pulled himself free and got on his feet. After brushing himself off SpongeBob approached Patrick with a sad expression.

SpongeBob: "Listen, Patrick, my wish caused this emergency. I put Bikini Bottom in this mess and I'm going to get it out of it."-SpongeBob explained-"Do want you want but just know I have to do this."

SpongeBob turned around and tried to leave. Patrick thought before solemnly putting a hand on SpongeBob's shoulder.

Patrick: "Than I'm coming with you."

SpongeBob: "What?"

Patrick: "SpongeBob, if I hadn't given you that shell you wouldn't have made that wish, this is my fault too."-Patrick explained-"Besides, what are friends for if not to help solve their problems?"

SpongeBob: "Patrick's, your the best best friend a sponge could ever ask for."-said SpongeBob, gratefully

SpongeBob and Patrick hugged each other to seal the moment. They then heard a loud scream and separated from the hug.

Patrick: "What was that?"-asked Patrick, startled

SpongeBob: "It came from Jellyfish Fields."-SpongeBob pointed out-"So that's where we're going."

SpongeBob and Patrick then run out of the neighborhood and rush to Jellyfish Fields. As they run they attempt to put a stop to the robot crisis in Bikini Bottom.
