The heroes hurried to Goo Lagoon as fast as their legs could arrive them. In their arrival they breathed heavily at the distance they had to run.
Patrick: "Remind me again why we just ran like fifty miles miles."-said Patrick, exhausted
Sandy: "Patrick, it was only nine miles."-said Sandy, annoyed-"And we had to because there's people here at Goo Lagoon."
Patrick: "Whatever."
SpongeBob steered away from his friends' argument and turned his head to the lagoon. He looked and saw Larry walking into to view. The group ran up to Larry as he stood across from them.
SpongeBob: "Larry!"
Larry: "SpongeBob!?"-said Larry, surprised-"Be honest am I burned?"
SpongeBob: "Well uhm, you are looking a little red."
Larry: "That's what I was afraid of."-said Larry, annoyed-"That robot over there stole everyone's sunscreen!"
Larry pointed to an island that seemed to have entire crates of sunscreen stacked on it. On top of the crates was a ham-mer that seemed to be guarding the crates of sunscreen.
Larry: "Without that sunscreen we are done for."-said Larry, fearfully-"Hey do you guys think you could use those light reflectors to destroy the robot and get our sunscreen back?"
SpongeBob: Of course we can Larry."-SpongeBob agreed-"Quick question, where are they?"
Larry: "One's just up there, another at the sandcastle building contest, another one's on the carnival and the last one's on the island out there."-Larry listed-"If you can do all that you can get our sunscreen back."
SpongeBob: "Leave it to us, Larry."-said SpongeBob, heroically-"We'll get your sunscreen back!"
Squidward attempted to to protest but SpongeBob and Patrick had already bolted off. Squidward and Sandy then facepalmed and begrudgingly followed the two. The four arrived at the first light reflector up on a tower. Around it was a robot with an umbrella on its head that seemed to be floating.
Sandy: "Is that another robot?"-asked Sandy, shocked
Patrick: "And it's a cute robot."
Suddenly the robot messed with the controller in it's hand and suddenly a cloud appeared. The cloud began striking lightning down to fry and destroy the four.
Patrick: "Not cute! Not cute!"
SpongeBob then reached inside his head and ran up to the robot. He then blew a bubble and formed a Viking helmet on his head. SpongeBob then jumped up into the air and the helmet smashed right through the monsoon.
Squidward: "How did you do that?"-asked Squidward, confused
SpongeBob: "Didn't you here, it's Leif Ericsson Day!"-said SpongeBob, excited-"Now help me with the big light."
Patrick then got on the other side of the right reflector and together he and SpongeBob pulled and turned it. The light reflected off it and turned to point directly at the sandcastle contest. As they tried to leave they suddenly heard a man yelp. They look and see the balloon man looking terrified while six children were floating around on balloons and seemed to be having fun.
Squidward: "What is going on here?"-Squidward demanded
Balloon Fish: "I filled the children's balloons with too much helium!"-the balloon man panicked-"Now the children are floating away."
Patrick: "You sure that's a bad thing?"-asked Patrick, oblivious-"It looks like they're having fun."
Balloon Fish: "Too much fun!"-said the balloon man, angrily-"They don't notice how they could land somewhere dangerous!"
SpongeBob: "Well leave it to us!"-said SpongeBob, prepared-"I'll save the children!"
SpongeBob then once again blew a bubble Viking helmet and bashed right into a balloon, the child safely landing on the ground. He then repeated this five more times and each of the children were safely on the ground.
Sandy: "Boy that was a darn tootin' good job, SpongeBob."-said Sandy, impressed
Squidward: "Okay you saved the children, now can we go to the sandcastles?"-asked Squidward, annoyed
The group of heroes then jumped across small islands and beach toys in the water. In their makeshift-parkour they reached the sandcastle building contest.
Squidward: "Okay now to find that right reflector."-said Squidward, seriously-"Where could it be?"
They looked around in an attempt to look for the reflector in the contest. Patrick then looked up and indicated the top of a sandcastle.
Patrick: "Oh it's up there."-Patrick indicated-"Up on that really big sandcastle!"
They look up and see a massive sandcastle that the right reflector had been built around. The four then walked into the sandcastle when the drawbridge suddenly slammed shut behind them.
Sandy: "Points for realism, I guess."-said Sandy, impressed-"Boy if whoever built this didn't win I'm 'onna be madder than a wild dog locked in a kennel!"
Suddenly they all look and see a group of robots that surrounded the fish that built the sandcastles as well as the judges. The robots all looked and noticed the heroes and suddenly readied for combat.
SpongeBob: "Looks like we've got a fight on our hands."-said SpongeBob, prepared-"Looks like will be starting early."
SpongeBob then took out his bubble soap and blew another Viking helmet-bubble and bashed into one of the monsoons on the ceiling. He then blew massive bubble beat and flattened two bomb-bots on the ground. As he did this, Patrick caught a ham-mer's blow and slammed it into the ground, a tar tar tried to shoot him but he caught the casa ice in his mouth and punched a hole through the robot's chest. Sandy jumped into the air and karate kicked a chuck and lassoed two chomp-bots and a fodder that she then threw into the wall. Squidward backed away with no clue what to do, he then pulled out his clarinet and played his usual awful music. The music however was enough to overload the robots and destroy them.
Sandy: "Guess that music was good for something after all."-said Sandy, impressed
Squidward: "I heard that!"
All the now-free contestants and judged left and went to the main portion of the beach. The heroes then climbed up on top of the castle and turned the reflector in the direction of the carnival.
SpongeBob: "Okay it's time for the next one!"
Sandy: "Well I think we might be runnin' out of time."-said Sandy, regretfully-"But I found is a shortcut!"
Sandy indicates a cave behind the sandcastle that seemed like a promising shortcut that group entered. As they entered, however, they were immediately met with a two-way fork in the cave.
Patrick: "Barnacle! Which what do we go?"-asked Patrick, frustrated
Sandy: "I reckon we split up."-Sandy suggested-"Y'all go down that one and I'll take this one."
SpongeBob: "But Sandy we can't split up."-SpongeBob pleaded-"We'll just have less numbers on the robots."
Sandy: "Well we don't have time to check both paths!"-Sandy snapped-"I promise, SpongeBob, I'll be fine."
SpongeBob: "Okay, but meet right back at the beach."-said SpongeBob, regretfully
SpongeBob begrudgingly walked down the left tunnel, Patrick and Squidward following behind him. Sandy then went down the right tunnel and ventured deep into the cave. As she walked along the path she noticed two fodders getting ready to attack her. Sandy turned around and kicked the robot into the all and karate chopped the other into three pieces. Though feeling sudden confidence Sandy notice a loud noise spring and a net bolt towards her and shock her.
SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward traversed deeper into the cave. SpongeBob only began worrying more, questioning if it was truly a hood idea to split up from Sandy.
SpongeBob: "I sure hope Sandy's okay."-said SpongeBob, worriedly
Squidward: "She'll be fine, SpongeBob."-said Squidward, annoyed-"How about we focus on ourselves right now? Like getting across all this water!"
SpongeBob looks and notices that the path ahead of them was indeed made up of nine foot-deep water. They looked around but found no possible way around it.
Patrick: "Barnacles!"
Patrick punched the wall and caused a vibration that made many of the stalactites fall from the ceiling. The stalactites formed a bridge that lead across the many miles of water. SpongeBob's face lit up and he snapped his fingers at the newfound advantage.
SpongeBob: "Patrick, you are a genius!"
Patrick: "I am?"
SpongeBob then begins jumping across the stalactites that lead across the water. Patrick then shrugged and followed after him while Squidward, having lost any will to argue, follows behind them. The group then finds themselves in a massive cavern with many luscious plants and diamonds in the walls.
SpongeBob: "It's beautiful."-said SpongeBob, amazed
Squidward: "It would be more beautiful if it weren't crawling with robots!"-said Squidward, furiously
SpongeBob looked and saw that their were indeed many robots in the cavern. As soon as he noticed this SpongeBob took out his bubble soap and got ready to fight. Squidward played his clarinet that over loaded many of the robots and caused them to fall backwards into the water. SpongeBob formed into the shape of a hang glider and zoomed around the cave and blew bubbles at the robots around the room like bullets. Patrick finally jumped to the center of the cavern and began fighting off robots with his bare hands and strength. After the last robot was destroyed they all met up in the middle.
SpongeBob: "Good work, team!"-SpongeBob co granulated-"Oh and I found us an exit!"
The group then walked out of the exit to the cave and found that they had reached the carnival. SpongeBob and Patrick were instantly amazed by this that they had forgotten what they were there for. The two then ran up towards the carnival, much to Squidward's annoyance. SpongeBob and Patrick then arrived at the ticket booth and frantically jumped up and down.
SpongeBob: "Two please."-said SpongeBob, only to receive no answer-"Excuse me, sir."
It turns out that the "fish" manning the ticket booth was actually a ham-mer. Patrick then punched the ticket booth and it with the robot fell into the lagoon.
Squidward: "How can you two barnacle heads possibly loose focus that fast?"-asked Squidward, annoyed
Patrick: "That's nothing."-Patrick disagreed-"You should us when we first went to Atlantic City."
Squidward then face palmed at the sudden interjection of Atlantic City. The three then turned around and saw that the carnival was overrun by robots of all kinds and people were being held captive by the robots.
SpongeBob: "Alright let's save these people!"-said SpongeBob, heroically
Patrick then went and did a cannonball onto a g-love that had been approaching them. Unfortunately, this caused the pier to split in half and the Ferris wheel to fall into the water.
Squidward: "Well we know who's taking the Ferris wheel!"
SpongeBob jumped down to the food booths where there were many robots tormenting their captives, one robot even dangling Fred over a deep fryer before actually dipping his leg in it.
Fred: "My leg!"
SpongeBob then blew a bubble in the shape of a cannonball that shot right into the chuck and causing it to drop Fred, who SpongeBob saved with a bubble shaped like a pillow. He then jumped into the air and made his bubble-feet for a signature bubble bounce on two fodders. He then blows a stream of bubbles that send the remaining robots flying off the pier and freeing the captive fish. Squidward runs up to the tilt-a-whirl to find many fish in the cart's spinning around the fish. He then takes out his clarinet and draws it to them.
Squidward: "Get ready to face the music."
Squidward began playing his clarinet and it sent a tar tar down to the cart and shredded it. He then blew his clarinet to the duplicatotron present and destroyed it. He finally destroyed all remaining robots before going to the controls and shutting the tilt-a-whirl off. Patrick climbed up to the top of the Ferris wheel and found each of the carts with robots in them. He then pounded his chest and jumped down to each cart, smashing the robots has he did. After the robots were destroyed the group finally made it to the light reflector at the top of the post and turned to the last one.
Squidward: "Everyone get to the beach!"-said Squidward to the rescued fish, which they complied to-"Already now we've just got one more."
SpongeBob: "And I know just how to get there!"
SpongeBob then blew a bubble in the shape of a trampoline and jumped onto it, followed by Patrick and Squidward. They then flew to the island in the lagoon and were immediately met with a small group of robots. As the robots charged at them SpongeBob took out his bubble wand and did a spin that destroyed two fodders and a chomp-bot. Patrick then used his fist to smash another chomp-bot, two ham-mers and a bomb bot before crushing a tar tar in his grip. Before the duplicatotron could make more, Squidward used his clarinet to destroy it. The group then went to the light reflector and turned it to the sunscreen. The beam of light then hit the robot on top of the stack and finally destroyed it.
SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward had returned to the beach with everyone's sunscreen. As the fish applied sunscreen they also went onto the buses, evacuating the town with everyone else.
Larry: "I must say, SpongeBob, you did great."-said Larry, impressed
SpongeBob: "Thanks Larry."-said SpongeBob, thankfully-"But I couldn't have done it without my friends."
Patrick: "Thanks, buddy."
Larry: "Well I've gotta get out of here."-said Larry, getting on a bus-"Good luck with the robots!"
As Larry got on the bus it left and now everyone had officially evacuated Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob then turns to Patrick and Squidward with a delightful smile.
SpongeBob: "Well that was eventful. Wait till Sandy hears about this."-said SpongeBob before realizing the problem-"Dear Neptune! Sandy, we forgot all about her!"
SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy then rushed back to the cave in search of Sandy.
Sandy groggily woke up to find herself trapped in an electrified net. The net was connected to the back of a ham-mer that dragged her along the ground. She noticed that she was being dragged across a cold, metal floor but was too exhausted to determine her exact surroundings. The robot came to a stop beside a chair that was facing away from them.
???: "You have found her, good."-said an artificial-sounding voice-"The first component of my plan."
Sandy attempted to kick the net but it only electrocuted her and made her go limp again. The mysterious stranger then presses a button that suddenly caused the floor below Sandy to lower like an elevator. When arriving Sandy was now in a massive hanger-like area with four large contraptions that were currently being built by robots. A mechanical arm then lefties her up out of the net and while trying to fight back she was still groggy. The robot claw then placed her in one of the contraptions and the entrance sealed after this. A loading park then appeared on a screen while a robot voice began speaking.
Speaker: "Project Robot Replacement: phase one: operational. Project Robot Replacement: phase one, initiating. Project Robot Replacement: phase one: active."
An area of the contraption then ignited with two large red lights.
Author's Note: "I'd like to let you know that for the robot boss fights what I'm doing is inspired by Superfloxes' Battle for Bikini Bottom fanfic. So I want to give them a shoutout and the credit for the idea. Thank you.
