As the dinner party continued, the sky began to fill with dark clouds.

SpongeBob asked Hectorgon, "Is there usually weather in the Nightmare Realm?"

Hectorgon answered, "Duh, it rains blood because of the ocean."

SpongeBob said, "Uh oh, Pyronica, you might want to head inside."

Pyronica asked, "Why?"

SpongeBob asked, "You're made of fire, right?"

Pyronica chirped, "Yep!"

SpongeBob asked, "And you know the ocean is made of water now, right?"

Pyronica nodded, "Mhm."

SpongeBob said, "Well, it's going to rain, and I don't know if you want to get wet."

Pyronica scoffed, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Droplets of rain came as the clouds slowly made their way over the party. A few drops landed on Pyronica and put out a few of the flames on her body.

Pyronica tensed up but said, "See? I'm going to be okay."

SpongeBob said with a worried look, "That must really hurt."

Pyronica said, "Oh, it does, but I don't mind! We like being in pain, remember?"

SpongeBob said, "But this is different! It's like when I was being dried under the heat of the lamp in Shell City."

Pyronica asked, "Didn't that kill you?"

SpongeBob answered rather exhaustedly, "Yeah."

Thunder rumbled as if in a threatening way.

"It's going to rain harder," SpongeBob squeaked, and then he pleaded, "Pyronica, Get inside, please. You're going to be put out!"

Pyronica said, "But shouldn't I help clean up?"

SpongeBob said, "We'll handle it; just go!"

Pryronica sighed and said, "Okay."

She teleported back to the Scara-myid. The rain did indeed pour down harder. The other Hench-Manics left their seats to play in the rain. SpongeBob was worried and approached Bill. Bill snapped his fingers, and in an instant, everything was also sent into the Scara-myid.

SpongeBob nervously said, "Hey Bill, um, if I may ask, am I fireproof now?"

Bill chuckled, "Yeah, Yeah, go embrace your friend. You shouldn't be affected by your word's logic anymore."

SpongeBob asked, "Can you make Pyronica waterproof?"

Bill asked, "Why?"

SpongeBob said, "If today is any indication, she might need it."

Bill snapped his finger again and said, "There. She is now waterproof."

SpongeBob jumped onto Bill and wrapped his arms around him. Bill was caught off guard. He gave SpongeBob a pat on the head.

SpongeBob then let go and said, "Thanks, Bill!"

He rushed off, leaving Bill still deeply flummoxed.

Bill muttered, "What just happened?"

Kryptos approached Bill and answered, "How he has been able to manipulate everyone, including yourself."

Bill grabbed Kryptos by the arm, dragged him into the penthouse, and threw him against the wall. Bill turned red with anger.

Bill growled, "I thought I told you to watch your tone. "

Kryptos chuckled, "There's the Bill I know."

Bill put Kryptos in tight chains and forced his limbs away from his body.

Bill snarled a bit gleefully, "DON'T TEST ME, KRYPTOS! I WILL PUNISH YOU!"

Kryptos grinned and said, "Then punish me, boss."

SpongeBob quickly looked away from that scene and came to Pyronica's door and knocked.

Pyronica moaned, "Go away; I don't want you to get hurt."

SpongeBob said, "Then I'm coming in!"

Pyronica said, "Wait, SpongeBob, don't!"

He opened the metal door, and a wave of heat knocked him back a bit. But he powered through it, so he saw that everything in Pyronica's room was made of fire. The decor was fire, the furniture was fire, there was even a fire rug. Pyronica was sitting on a flaming couch, clutching a burning pillow and blue flames still prickling her face.

SpongeBob came in and looked around.

SpongeBob said, "Woah, this is cool!"

Pyronica asked, " What are you doing? You could hurt again."

SpongeBob said, "Bill gave me his word. I'm fireproof, and he made you waterproof."

He very carefully made his way over to Pyronica.

Pyronica asked, "Is that really what it's like to be burned?"

SpongeBob answered, "It is; I'm sorry if my memory upset you."

Pyronica sniffled, "It's not the memory that upset me. I've never been rained on like that before, and I don't think I like that kind of pain."

She buried her face in the pillow she was holding, crying her blue firey tears. SpongeBob very cautiously sat on the couch, and it was like sitting on a warm pillow.

SpongeBob looked over at Pyronica's head and shoulders, and there were charred spots where the water had landed.

SpongeBob said, "That does look like it must have stung."

SpongeBob then took out a piece of paper and a little lighter in his pocket and said, "Brace yourself; I'm going to try something."

Pyronica said, "Okay."

SpongeBob ignited the paper and said, "Hold still."

He very gently dripped the orange fire onto Pyronica's patchy charred spots.

Pyronica shuttered, "Brr, that fire is burning so low."

SpongeBob said, "Almost done. Now for the tough part."

He then very gently rubbed on the spots, working the orange fire into her pink fire. His hands and arms didn't get burned, but he did feel an incredible amount of heat.

Pyronica sighed in relief as SpongeBob rubbed on her, "Mmm, I think I like this better."

SpongeBob chuckled, "It probably does feel good."

SpongeBob stopped once all the orange fire had mixed into her pink fire.

SpongeBob asked, "Feeling better?"

Pyronica sat up to face SpongeBob and smiled, "Much thank you."

Pyronica said, "You know, before today, I didn't think I would do anything else other than help Bill take over the third dimension again. But I think I liked making all those stars. Maybe I'll arrange them into constellations."

SpongeBob said, "Sounds like a plan."

He then stood up and said, "See you later, Pyronica. I'm heading to bed."

Pyronica said, "Wait, you need to sleep anymore."

SpongeBob said, "I know, but I want to."

He left Pyronica's room, saying, "Good night!"

He went to his room, hung the pendant by the door, and then went to bed. SpongeBob fell into a light slumber.

Meanwhile, Kryptos moaned loudly, "Oh, Bill!"

Bill and Kryptos were now sitting at a table holding playing cards. By now, Bill had returned to yellow, and he had held up a joker card.

Bill said, "Oh yeah, This means War!"

Kryptos said with a smile, "I know you couldn't resist playing that game, boss."

Kryptos and Bill played the game and of course, Bill won. Kryptos didn't seem to mind as he sighed in relief.

Bill asked, putting away the cards,"Feeling better?"

Kryptos said, "Nobody can play cards like you Bill."

Bill said, "Now, you wanted to discuss that Sponge now in our keep as well?"

Kryptos replied, "Yes, we need to figure out a way of breaking him."

Bill sighed, sitting next to Kryptos, "Must we? The seems harmless enough."

Kryptos asked, "If he's going to stick around, he needs to not be soft on our enemies."

Bill said, "I don't think that will be a problem."

Kryptos asked, "How do you know?"

Bill answered, "He managed to get acess to my mind of all things. If he can do that, he'll probably be okay with all the intentional choas and unintentional death we're going unleash onto his world!"

Kryptos was surprised, and gave it some thought.

Bill said, "Besides, I know exactly how to gain his trust."

Kryptos asked, "Oh? How?"

Bill answered, "If I'm no longer going to be bound by a prophecy, I see no reason to not unbind SpongeBob from his prophecy."

He then teleported Kryptos away.
