Transcript

[caption says ‘5 Years Ago…’]

[a bomb hits the screen, and shows robots going head to head with fish in World War III, SpongeBob IV and Patrick III are side by side]

SpongeBob: Patrick! You take the out on the left i’ll take them by the right!

Patrick: Gotcha!

[as Patrick is running and shooting to the left, a bomb is dropped near the area he’s running to, explosion]

SpongeBob: (screams) Patrick! (starts crying and screaming while shooting, then is knocked out by a robot)

[SpongeBob wakes up in a hospital]

Doctor: Whoa, take it easy

SpongeBob: Where’s Patrick?!

Doctor: You’ve been mumbling about that fella throughout your coma, you’re lucky Plankton saved your life.

SpongeBob: Plankton?

[Plankton walks in]

Plankton: Yeah, a robot knocked you out, so before they could kill you, I luckily shot them all and got you to our underground base where they sent you here.

SpongeBob: Is the war still going on?

Doctor: Actually it ended weeks ago, and our, side was, slaughtered… there are barely any of us left..

SpongeBob: Plankton, do you know where Patrick is?

Plankton: Couldn’t find him, he’s most likely dead.

[a tear falls from SpongeBob’s eye, as he starts scream crying again, shows exterior, the exterior of a broken down pineapple with caption saying ‘Present Day’.]

[SpongeBob is sleeping, we go into his dream, which is a flashback to him fighting in World War III]

SpongeBob: Patrick you get the left i’ll get the right!

Patrick: Got it!

[They’re shooting, then suddenly, SpongeBob’s lost]

SpongeBob: Patrick? Patrick?! PATRIIIIIIIC-

[SpongeBob wakes up, drenched in sweat]

SpongeBob: I need to find Patrick!

[intro plays]

SpongeBob: So, i’m all alone, no allies, and I need to find my best friend who I lost in the war, and I have no weapons. (sigh) How will I ever find him?!

Fish: Get weapons, friends and a map.

SpongeBob: That’s a GREAT idea!

[SpongeBob goes to the Map store]

Map Store Clerk: What can i get ya for?

SpongeBob: I’m looking for a map

Map Store Clerk: Ya know we’re one of the last living beings on this planet ya know?

SpongeBob: Really?

Map Store Clerk: Yeah, the president seems to have a plan to kill us all so it’s his perfect robotic being world where nothing can go wrong.

SpongeBob: That monster!

Map Store Clerk: Our population has been in the hundreds… dark times are coming.

SpongeBob: Anyways, I need a map

Map Store Clerk: There’s some in the back.

SpongeBob: Thanks.

Map Store Clerk: We gotta stick together!

SpongeBob: I’m on my own trying to regroup my family.

Map Store Clerk: Oh, well good luck with that!

[SpongeBob exits the store with a map, and walks down the street until he sees a gun store, and enters]

Gun Store Clerk: Welp, ya need a gun?

SpongeBob: Well, I need a few guns, grenades, and rocket launchers.

Gun Store Clerk: Here ya go

SpongeBob: Whoa really?

Gun Store Clerk: Yeah, ever since World War III, no waiting for a gun or rocket launcher, since the only people that can get the stuff are living beings like us, robots are banned from owning any guns.

SpongeBob: Wow, what a life we live in.

[At the same time, a fish goes up to SpongeBob and gives him a letter]

SpongeBob: What’s this?

[the fish leaves, SpongeBob sees that it’s Patrick’s handwriting, so he starts opening up the letter, and reads it, he drops it, and runs out]

[Patrick’s Letter: Dear SpongeBob, I’m still alive, I survived the blast, but I don’t know where I am, I think i’m in the jungle but I can’t be too sure, please find me!]

SpongeBob: I’m coming buddy!

[shows a montage of SpongeBob going through a bunch of plains, then tall grass, then eventually a forest, then a deep jungle, SpongeBob finds a pink thing in the jungle]

SpongeBob: PATRICK!

Patrick: SPONGEBOB!

[as SpongeBob reaches the pink thing, it’s just a giant blob of bubblegum with a record of Patrick screaming “SPONGEBOB!”]

SpongeBob: Oh no (gulp)

[A bunch of robots appear out of the sky, and surround SpongeBob, there are 8 in total, episode ends.]
