Saving Treedome Enterprises

Sandy's chimp bosses, Professor Percy, Dr. Marmalade, and Lord Reginald, have come back to the Dragon Temple to discuss things with Sandy concerning what they learned about her in her new life, but have agreed to keep it a surprise for until they head to the Treedome Enterprises Limited's 200th Anniversary celebration, celebrating not just it's housing cooperative which specialized in treedome manufacturing, but also the science branch that Sandy works for. Thus, Sandy agrees and, upon arrival and meeting with not just Gifford again, but many other Treedome Enterprises employees, the chimps reveal that they, after seeing how much her new life meant to her, have decided to make a compromise where she wouldn't have to leave Bikini Bottom by her next meeting in 2026, (Depending on consistent quility of survice and whatnot and/or depending on current management), and that she'd be happy to know that she'd be able to stay in Bikini Bottom for as long as she wished. Overjoyed at her bosses' sudden compassion, Sandy decides to enjoy the anniversary for a while longer. However, a renegade former employee, Helga V. Ampire, a vampire bat who came to serve a rival corperation called "Skycaves Incorporated", seeks to steal the latest invention to pass off as their own because the corperation is under extremely hard times because the funders declared that "Caves in the sky is a ludertist idea" and not considerably as private as Underwater Treedomes (Even if that in of itself is kinda illogical) and thus the Funders began to go torwrods Treedome Enterprises and the bosses are at the state that they'll do anything to save the business, even if it means going to illegit extremes! Thus, Sandy has to get her friends in the Lodge to stop Helga and Caves Inc. before an invention of Treedome Enterprises is passed off as their own and in terms ruin Treedom Enterprises legacy.

Scenes

Sandy's Bosses Visit

Dragon Temple

• Sandy: (On a phone as SpongeBob and a few other Lodgers arrived) Oh, you can get here from the Treedome! Trust me! There's a portal to other worlds in my Treedome you can use to get to the Dragon Temple. Just get into the basement, and you'll find it.
• SpongeBob: Howdy, Sandy! (Laughs)
• Icky: Still finding ways around the half-breakup, I see.
• SpongeBob: Don't ruin the moment.
• Sandy: Yes, it's the one I built from a hamster wheel.... Never mind the bill about the barbeque nuts, I already left that grouchy human the check.... (The Lodgers looked at each other) I believe that's the coordination feature! I made it out of a- No, you have to press send, then confirm to-
• ???: Confirm!
• Sandy: SEND!!! Uggh! Find the green button! Green bu- GREEN!!!
• ???: Self-destruct activated! (An explosion was heard)
• Sandy: And now you've blown it up!
• ???:... Sandy!
• Sandy: (Sighs) Wait right there! I'll have my hero friends pick you up! See you then. (She hangs up)
• Icky:... Who was that?
• Sandy: My chimp bosses.
• SpongeBob:... They're not coming for another inspection, are they?
• Sandy: No, that ain't until 2026. They said they had to discuss something with me at Treedome Enterprises' 200-year anniversary.
• Kowalski:... Seriously? A science company of both real estate and underwater treedomes has existed since the 19th Century?
• Sandy: Started out in steampunk technology during it's founding, but yes. So, as you've heard, they blew up the teleporter I use to get here, so we need to pick them up.
• Iago:... SHEN! FIRE UP THE REMOTE TELEPORTER!!!
• Lord Shen's voice: "My hidden spy-cameras already picked up your conversation and I am already on the case!"
• Icky: "Oh that's convinen- WAIT WHAT?!"
• Sandy: "Yyyyyyeaaaaaah, Shen is going through a latest phraise of security measures ever since the time Mang managed to corrupt everyone but Gazelle into kidnapping Kairi. He instailed the things as a means to detect more cases of Louge corruption."
• Iago: "Just when we thought Shen couldn't've gotten MORE paranoid."
• Skipper: "Agreed. That peacock needs a vacation with Celestia A.S.A.P., along with a very quilifived shrink!"

Later...

• Professor Percy: (The three chimps arrives)... Greetings.
• Icky:... HOLY CRAP, I JUST REALIZED WHO YOUR VOICE ACTORS ARE!!! You guys are Rick, Neil, and Mike from Young Ones!!!
• Dr. Marmalade: You'd be amazed how often we hear that.
• Sandy: "I hope none of you were hurt badly when the teleporter blew up."
• Percy: "Oh don't worry, we were perfectly save from the blast radius.... Although, it did opened a hole that allow a lot of inter-dimentional creatures to come through and just do, weird things."
• Sandy: "(Sighs), Fixing that will be at the top of my bucket list."
• Reginald: "You best do that. I shudder at the possability of those things being a threat in some way."
• Sandy: Eh, at this point, building teleporters is as easy as building a Lego playset.
• Percy: I can imagine.
• Icky: "So, we heard that you guys are around since the 19th Century. Mind to give the details of that?"
• Percy:... I suppose it IS nice to explain our history. Very well, then. As you wish....

19th Century Sepia Tone Flashback

• (Percy): One day, during the days in which steam was being applied to the best of science since the fame of the story Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne. Chimps, especially ones in the presence of Ivan Pavlov, Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, and many other scientists, have united throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries to found what will eventually become Treedome Enterprises. One chimp in general, George IX, a Russian chimp, came in after escaping from a lab and specially being augmented with his own abilities, he came into making a steampunk period of renaissance where he built the first prototype Treedome. This technology earned him the company that would eventually become Treedome Enterprises. You see, Treedome Enterprises are respondsable of bringing animals, of our world at the least, into the tecnological era. Many of land socity animals benifited from many modern convinences that it lead to some of them being inspired to follow a simular trend, some for our greater benifit, others simply because it's where the money is going due to the fact that this rise of tec is also a rather lucitive business."
• (Icky): "Wait, if that's so, then why are alot of sea creature socities, Bikini Bottom not withstanding, still relitively less advance."
• (Maramalane): "Well, you see, it was KINDA back when we land animals used to have a bit of a bias to sea creatures because at the time, it was felt that sea creaures couldn't.... (Two yokel fish were acting stupid with an invention while others use them wrong).... Properly understand them."
• (Reginald): "In fact, it wasn't until the first sea fairing animal to come to work for us, a Fur Seal by the name of "O'sealson, began to introduse simplifived versons of commen tec usually best for land creatures and made them for Sea Creatures.... (The Sea Creatures began to use the simpler tec correctly) It was a relitive success. Thus, gone were the days of fish using underwater "windmills" and living inside outmoded cottages or running around like wild animals, as the underwater socity florished thanks to Treedome Enterprises. Granted, they're not nessersarly anymore smarter then their presessers, all things considered, but trust me, things for sea creatures used to be WAY worse before Treedome Enterprises had Osealson."
• (Lord Shen): I see.
• (Percy): Unfortunately, with time, sea creatures seemed to veer away thanks to some individuals who sought to free themselves and aquire independence from the land creatures, accusing them of meddling in advancement of other walks of life, along with, things like bias of their own against land creatures. We are aware of Mr. SquarePants and Ms. Cheeks' competition over which kind of creature was better. Well, that is merely a hiccup compaired to a 40-year feud lead by these individuals arose until the battle was over by a truce of independence. The two sides have hardly interacted since. While the underwater society would function on their own, with aid of this 'Atlantean' technology you claimed were brought to them, we land creatures would go on a time of renaissance of our own, and with the help of human scientists like Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, and a bunch of others we do not need to mention, we pulled through, and through this, in a way, we established a kind of peace, as humans ended up discovering our breakthroughs by complete accident, and we found a way to co-exist.
• (Tulio): I see. So this company is the reason why humans see events like Sandy's rodeo?
• (Reginald): Yes. Sadly, they still cannot understand us as we are still animals who have our own natural languages. But we found ways to speak to them in one way or another. It's amazing how humans and animals can co-exist.
• (Skipper): Buddy, it's rare that any two different peoples can co-exist. Some worlds like ours have to be in secrecy because of natural human curiosity disrupting our freedoms. Private told us about a wishing fountain where... Our zookeeper wished to know our story, and next thing we knew, we were about to be operated on in cages until Private wished it all undone, though barely. Even though worlds like the one of Hotel Transylvania prove it wrong at times, worlds like the X-Men prove that it is not a simple process.
• (Marmalade): We are aware of the irony of it all. Anyway, the humans HAVE dedicated secret societies like OUR version of NIMH to work together as equals. NIMH is co-owned by Treedome Enterprises. We have provided for each other for a long time. And it was all thanks to the genius of George IX. We ARE currently lead by another chimp from a lab named Lucy III. She claimed to have been related to the first chimp to play Cheeta in those old Tarzan movies...
• (Icky): Oh, God, THOSE! I love them, but... When watching one of them... I felt dirty for one reason: Maureen O'Sullivan. I'd rather stick to the Tarzan we know, and I won't even touch upon the new movies.
• (Iago): Amen.
• (Percy): Anyway, Lucy III claimed she was not experimented on in a way that she knew of. We have certain suspicions that she is keeping a secret of her own, and that she's hiding some abilities of her own, but I can clearly see that, if she did, she'd have a reason to hide them, and that would be pirates and criminals. Lucy is still a good leader to us. She helped adapt the 21st Century to Treedome Enterprises, and made the latest adjustments to Treedome technology. She was even proposing a humidifying device that allows both land and sea creatures to be in one without the need of a water helmet. And that's just among her best suggestions for Treedome technology.

Present

• Mr. Krabs: "Now that was something our canon show was always incapable to do due to not being canon savy.... World Building. I mean, have ye ever noticed that our world is NOT very well explained?"
• Squidward: "Well that's what happens when Episodes are meant to just tell the story of the week and not have the continiuity consistenty of shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
• Icky: "Or the SAF series for that matter."

The Chimps' Surprising Compromise

After Party

• Percy: Well, Ms. Cheeks... What your friends and family in Texas since our last inspection seemed... Pretty surprising.
• Reginald: And I must admit, that silly thing your sponge and starfish friend set up, even though it almost wrecked me, was enjoyable while it lasted.
• Marmalade: And it was a little touching to see you and your friends accept departure. I didn't wanna see much. But the revelation of that banana peeler did get me to forget all about that. Speaking of which, what about that poop thrower?
• Sandy: Eh, that's easy to make to any brainiac. It's like making a catapault. Besides, that wasn't supposed to be a banana peeler. It was supposed to be a nutcracker. As you could imagine, it sucked at it.
• Percy: Amusing. The nut-communicator device? I admit, that was quite a neat trick.
• Sandy:... Kinda thought that technology would be useless.
• Marmalade: Eh, I'm sure hippies would like such an invention.
• Sandy: So... Back to my friends?
• Percy: Oh, yes. Their reviews were quite heart-touching, even for us. (Clears throat and reads) Sandra Olivia Cheeks. Age: Inconclusive. (Depending on date), Species: American red squirrel, blah-blah-blah-blah, anyway, her life is a very touching story. A squirrel who got a close bond to life in the sea. At first, she didn't fit in, even as an inventor for Treedome Enterprises. She thought she was out of place for a while, until she met SpongeBob SquarePants. Meeting him steered her life into a new uncharted direction. SpongeBob claimed that 'Sandy was the first genuine female friend whom he shared a closer bond with than other females'. Then, in 2000, her life steered back to Square 1, and she sank into homesickness. SpongeBob tried to help Bikini Bottom feel like her home, but it was very... In her words... As silly as SpongeBob could make it. She realized that, upon explaining that a home is where people that care about you surround you, which was precisely where she was from the beginning. That following night, SpongeBob claimed that he saw a side to her he never seen before. She was a lot of fun, was tough almost all the time, and that very say, showed a weaker and more vulnerable side that made her a very inspiring and very genuine person to live with. He admired how she coped with a life underwater, and in August 2000, described that getting out of her pressurized suit, was the day he found a new appreciation for her as one who accepted an underwater lifestyle. (As Marmalade and Reginald tried to hold back tears)... And as this sponge grew up, he started displaying romantic feelings for Miss Cheeks. And with the 2006 Treedome Enterprises inspection reviews, Treedome Enterprises, in their grand testimony, has offered a reward to Miss Cheeks for doing something that no other inventor in their employment has ever done before:... Create a genuine story that touches the hearts of land creatures and sea creatures alike. (Sandy was starting to cry to herself upon hearing this)... Okay, I'm starting to get sad just reading this. (Puts the file away) The point is, Treedome Enterprises has offered this gift to you, through us.
• Sandy:... And... What IS the gift?
• Reginald:... The gift... Of cut funding to the Treedome itself. It's your home now.
• Sandy:... I... Did I just hear what I think I heard?
• Percy: Yes. Treedome Enterprises has been so moved by this, and how your friends have been willing to help you, that even if your funding in you work is cut by our next inspection, you can live in Bikini Bottom for as long as you wish.
• Marmalade: It's a strange thing to give to an employee, but one which they feel is deserving for you. I want to offer my congratulations to you.
• Sandy:... (She was so touched, that she started crying)... I... I don't know what to say! They... They're letting me live underwater?
• Reginald: Again, strange choice, but they feel you deserve it for the friends you've come to know.
• Sandy:... I... (She cried again) Thank you! (She hugged them)
• Percy: Now, now, let's not be too sentimental, Miss Cheeks. This is still business.
• Sandy: Oh, is it? I guess going soft and sympathetic is REALLY this common here?
• Reginald: Again, it's the first time they've been touched by the story of one of their employees.
• Sandy:... I... I need to go. This is so big, and it's a LOT to take in. (She left, and went into a closet, crying tears of joy, and called on her iPhone)... SpongeBob! You are NOT going to believe this! *Sobs*
• (SpongeBob): Oh, God, you're not leaving Bikini Bottom, are you?
• Sandy: That's just it!... THEY'RE LETTING ME STAY FOREVER, EVEN WITHOUT MY INVENTOR JOB!!!
• (SpongeBob):...
• Sandy:... Sponge?
• SpongeBob:...
• Sandy:... Are you still the-

Dragon Guardian Temple.

• Spongebob suddenly turns into a rocket and blasts off into the sky as the other Dragon Guardian Temple residence took notice!
• Duke: ".......... Well..... That's random."
• The Spongebob Rocket flew into space and explouded like a firework, as Spongebob's voice is heard.
• Spongebob's voice: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!"
• Gazelle: "..... Um, is he, ever gonna come back down?"
• Duke: Beats me. Never seen him THAT happy.
• SpongeBob: (He went back down) SANDY'S STAYING IN BIKINI BOTTOM FOREVER!!!
• Gazelle:... What?

Communicator Room

• (Sandy): And so, Treedome Enterprises was apparently so touched by my story, that they decided to cut my funding to the Treedome and have me handle it. So, that means, I can stay in Bikini Bottom for as long as I want, even if my funding at Treedome Enterprises expires. (Sobs) I could hardly believe it. I didn't know WHAT I would do if I was fired and had to leave again. I... (Sobs)... It's just amazing. I never expected this kind of sympathy from this place. (Much of the heroes were touched and crying at her story)
• SpongeBob: So... I CAN BE WITH YOU FOREVER!!! (Cries) I can hardly believe it!
• Sandy: Well, Sponge, do remember, the half-breakup is STILL in effect. Given how Hank Jr. nearly used us like that, we need to ensure no worse threat does. Enemies from our past here like Flynt, Doctor Bubbles, Hog Blank, Jathom, and so many others are still out there, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM know what to do with that info. Relationships can be dangerous in hero work, and you know that.
• SpongeBob: I know. But at least we still keep a romantic relationship sparingly. That's all that matters. It's just... I'M SO OVERJOYED THAT YOU'RE GONNA LIVE WITH US FOREVER!!!
• Sandy: So am I. (Wipes her tears) So, I decided that, in return for this, I may offer Treedome Enterprises some sort of favor.
• Private: And that is?
• Sandy: Haven't decided yet. But when I do, it'll make them as happy as they did me.
• Patrick: "Well, I'm sure it might show up in one form or another."
• Banzai: "Yeah right. Like life would offer that such oppertunity in a matter of minutes. I think it's gonna be a LOOONG time before you get to repay that faver, Sandy."

Helga V. Ampire Returns

While the Aniversery went on.

• A winged figure was jumping across the buildings and doing actrobatic tricks as the figure approuched the invention center.
• ???: (It was viewing the party from the sunroof)... (Chiara Zanni voice) Ah... Treedome Enterprises' 200th Anniversary. Just the right moment to act. Now... Where do I start? (She sees two Gorrila Guards guarding the backdoor, as a window not too far from them was seen showing that some inventers were working on a serious project.)..... What a cowinkidink."
• The Figure leaped up and quadruple flipped and land in the ally, reveiled to be a female vampire bat with a symbol on her tanktop that reads "Skycaves Inc", as she looked at the stoic guards, as she cartwheels, frontword and backword flips in the shadows.
• The Ape Guards were see as the bat already was hiding in the shadows, and tossed a bottle!
• The Ape Guards grunted in confusion and went to investigate.
• Ape Guard #1: (The two were dubbed as Bada and Bing) Hey, yo, whose there?
• Ape Guard #2: Whatever that was, it ain't funny! And it ain't wise to mess with apes!
• ???: Oh, but I happen to know you two very well. I know you're afraid of what I am. (She flew in) PEEK-A-BOO!!!
• Ape Guard #1: AAAHHHH!!! BAT!!! BAT!!!
• Ape Guard #2: GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT O- (They both rammed into each other and were knocked out cold)...
• ???:... Pbbt! Noobs! (She flew in in secrecy)

(Later...)

• Helga: (As the party was going well)... Time to kill the lights! (She cut the power as everything went to dark, causing everyone to panic)
• Sandy: WHAT IN TARNATION?!?
• Helga: ATTENTION ALL SCUM OF THE WATER'S LAND SOCIETY! Your 200 years of sins are coming to an end! Treedome Enterprises has been greedy with the lives land creatures have come to know and love for TOO long! If you think I will let you do this for ANOTHER 200 years, you've got another thing coming!
• Percy: T... That voice!
• Marmalade:... Oh, no!
• Reginald: "OH NOT THIS OLD SKELITON IN THE CLOSET AGAIN?!"
• Sandy: What? Who is it? Who- WHA! (She suddenly disappeared as the lights went back on)
• Reginald:... MISS CHEEKS?!? WHERE'D YOU GO?!? (The guards were knocked out, though through fainting, as is others)...
• Percy:... (On phone) Uh, Lucy, we have a problem! She's back! Helga's back!

Meanwhile...

• Sandy: (She was tied up on the roof out in the night sky)... WHA... WHO IS THIS?!? WHAT'S THE DEAL?!?
• Helga: (She showed herself dramatically)... Oh, the deal, is that you've got a truth to this place you work for that you DESPERATELY need to know! YOU must be Sandra Olivia Cheeks, one of this place's finest, and most famous, workers!
• Sandy:... And who in tarnation are you?
• Helga: I go by the name Helga V. Ampire.
• Sandy: "..... Wow. Obvious pun much? If Icky and Iago and/or any other easily amused Louger were here, they laughed their tush off."
• Helga: I get that alot.
• Sandy: "But seriously, WHY do you have a problem with Treedome Enterprises?
• Helga: Let's just say, I used to work for this place, before I was... How do you say... Unceremoniously kicked out of my newfound underwater home!
• Sandy:... Well, did you, happen to do something to warrent it? I mean, in all fairness, employies are let go on a day to day basis, commonly cause of retirement, inaddiquintcy, incompidence, or budget contrustraints.
• Helga: I'll talk about it later. Let's talk about you. Heh, I heard all to well about your little incident in 2006, and couldn't help but wander the oceans looking for you. It took me years, but I FINALLY found you.
• Sandy: What do you POSSIBLY want with me, and what is this about my 2006 inspection?!?
• Helga: It's quite simple, really. I wish for you to join in my cause.
• Sandy: Cause? You capture me for THAT? Well, whatever it is, I want NO part of it!
• Helga: I KNOW you love your underwater home!
• Sandy:... How much DO you know?
• Helga: Well, one, you're in love with a sponge named SpongeBob, you make amazing inventions, you enjoy Bikini Bottom's vibrant culture and colors, even dispite it's current cesspool of a socity state, you love to unwind outside the pressurized suit every once in a while, and you've come to be a part of it by today. Well... Until 2006, that is. Oh, so tragic, to be nearly forced out of your great new home, and only get to stay by sheer dumb luck! If it wasn't for that Nutcracker doing something better, you would've lost everything! Well, I've got news for you, Sandy: You're not alone! (Sandy was surprised)... Like you almost were, I WAS kicked out of my good home under the sea! I had friends that showed me the wonders of the ocean! They meant EVERYTHING to me! Then those bastards here had the GALL to take that away from me! I lost everything! My friends, my fond memories, my wonderful new life! ALL WASTED! I WAS BETRAYED BY THE COMPANY I CAME TO TRUST!
• Sandy: Well, it could've been because you failed to deliver on a new invention and they felt that you came to become inadiquite. It wasn't anything personal, it's how Treedome Enterprises works!
• Helga: "THAT WAS NOT A GOOD EXCUSE TO DO SO?! That's why I'm here to turn their world, upside down."
• Sandy: Oh, so this is all about revenge? Come on, are you SERIOUSLY blaming them for doing their job?
• Helga: No! But they showed NO courtesy or compromise whatsoever!
• Sandy: "Their jobs have existed and remained unchanged since litterally the 19th centaury! They couldn't help that! Their jobs aren't buildt around modern concerns and-"
• Helga: I don't CARE if it wasn't in their job description! All that proves is that they don't give a flying f*** about the social life of it's workers. They destroyed my life, and they've never been made to pay for it! I'm asking you, as one tragic being created by them to another near-one, to join me in helping this place PAY for it's lack of courtesy!
• Sandy: Not interested! Look, I feel bad for you, but I can't exactly blame the chimps! Their jobs have existed since very old times! Do I agree that it needs to change? Yes?! But screwing them over isn't gonna get your life back?!
• Helga: Are you sure? Take a moment to consider this and what has happened in your life. Your chimp bosses are known douches.
• Sandy: "Douche is a STRONG word..... But they are abit uppity though."
• Helga: The last employees they had were... Not in comfortable situations. After what happened to the both of us, I can say that we are the same in our fight against this oppressive company. You're afraid of losing a life you've come to be comfortable with for several years. A person whom you've shared and returned romantic feelings for. People whom you enjoy a laugh with. People who care about you and surround you, and make the sea as big as Texas. You should know that, though this company means well, deep down, it's all a lie! Knowing who they TRULY are, keeps you from holding back. Knowing them, makes you strong enough to fight for the freedom you truly deserve. The freedom to do more than just, dip your toes in the water! The freedom to be in a place where you never thought you could fit in. The freedom, to enjoy being free! Well, I've got news for you, Sandy, those Board of Director losers, don't mean a WORD of what they said about you living in your Treedome forever. It's all in THEIR possession. Treedomes are THEIR property. No matter what one has tried, they were holding back, because of the authority they have over their homes. Treedomes are hard to finance, and they KNOW it! That's why they must do what they can to their employees, to keep their property their own. I learned that the hard way. I thought I could be independent on my own Treedome, but they made it DAMN clear, that any Treedome in the sea, is THEIR property, and it's a rule that must NEVER be broken. That's their problem. They claim to care for us, but people like your bosses prove otherwise. I have resources, that can change all that. So... With all that info to take in... I take it we have a deal?
• Sandy: "..... Like I said, their only crime against you is being uppity and working with a job with outated instructions that, while I agree do need to be changed, doesn't give you the excuse to hurt them in anyway, not aren't you an automaticly better person for trying to ruin THEIR lives?! That being said, I do want to help you. BUT NOT LIKE WHAT YOUR SUGGESTING?!"
• Helga: "(Sighs)..... I remember when I used to be THAT stubbern too. Fine, wanna play it like that? Then get ready for a one way trip to the pavement?! (Grabs Sandy and flies up, high to dizzing heights!)"
• Sandy: WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE ALAMO?!?
• Helga: If you are not with me, then you might as well be my enemy! Your life was nearly destroyed by those tailless MONKEYS, and yet you STILL wish to save them! I always thought you of all people would come to understand me, Sandy, but I guess it was all for NOTHING! So, you will die alongside the other scumbags of Treedome Enterprises! So, enjoy your freefall! (She drops her as she managed to get out of the restraints, and use acrobatics to save herself from the deadly impact, as they fought in the night-lit park) GET BACK HERE! I WANT NO WITNESSES IN THIS!!!
• Sandy: Helga, STOP! You destroy my job, and then what? You think that's gonna make everyone there agree with you?
• Helga: No, but they'll surely learn a HARD lesson. And you're not the only TEL employee I sought out. There are OTHERS out there whom I ensured understood my pain, in FULL detail! There were OTHERS who winded up in our shoes! I gave them something they'd want out of the people who betrayed them by destroying their perfect lives under the sea! Scum like them are the reason why sea creatures and land creatures hardly understand each other since the times TEL last had an impact.
• Sandy: You tricked others into joining you?!?
• Helga: That's right! I gave them words of warning about it, too, and they didn't listen until too late. With no one else to turn to but me, I have JUST the right power to make TEL PAY for what they've done to me!
• Sandy: This is completely ridiculous! You're blaming them for just doing their job without any concern. That's like a guy blaming his friend for arresting him as a cop! It was a duty they had to do!
• Helga: Yes, but if you're going to do it, the least you could do is SHOW SOME RESPECT!!! That's what those corporate greed-hacks don't have! You were almost robbed of YOUR life, how could you NOT wish to support me?
• Sandy: Oh, trust me, if I was as mean as you were when that happened and if things turned out a little differently, I would've done the same. But I'm NOT! Besides, you could STILL live there in a different way! That place had to have an island of land real estate where you could crash. They can't stop you from that!
• Helga: It's just not the same! You have to be CLOSE to your friends, and that's what I had! I will NOT stop for anything in my revenge against Treedome Enterprises' sins! And besides my sympathizers, I happen to be related to the RIGHT rivals with the power to make that possible!
• Sandy: Well, big mistake admitting that to a member of a massive hero team! I will see to it that they have you stopped!
• Helga: I'd like to see them try. You'll NEVER find us! By the time you do, you'll be too late! If you wish to change your mind, meet me in this park again at the crack of dawn day after tomorrow!
• Sandy: In your dreams! (Helga left) HEY! I AIN'T DONE WITH YOU! (She tries to lasso her, but she just grabbed the lasso, and spun her into a pond, where she gasped for air and allowed her to escape in the middle of the night without a trace)
• Helga: WE'LL MEET AGAIN, SANDY!!!
• Sandy:...  Well.... I guess I found myself a new sparing partner for this episode.

Helga's Story

Great Barrier Reef

• SpongeBob: (The megalopolis was within their sight after they saw the 'Come See The Great Barrier Reef' sign from The SquarePants Family Vacation, subtly fixed)... Well... This is where Helga lived.
• Sandy: What a beautiful place for anyone to live. You know, for the biggest coral reef in the world. Now then, my bosses said there was a Treedome Enterprises scientist here who currently has Helga's Treedome, so we must find him. Know he's a platypus.
• Kowalski: Oh, God, those! Not that I don't mind them that much considering Perry's help from time to time, (Chuckles), but-
• Skipper: Ugh, Kowalski, we all know you hate Parker for posing as Doris' boyfriend, but let's offer hope that THIS platypus is not as mean as him.
• Sandy: "Oh don't worry. Meaness isn't a problem. (AN EXPLOUDTION WAS HEARD AS A SMOKE CLOUD WAS SEEN....) Ecentricness, however....."
• Icky: "JESUS CHRIST, DON'T TELL ME THE GUY BLEW HIMSELF UP!?"
• Clownfish: Oh, don't worry 'bout him, mate. Shaw's just a little ambitious, creative, and a little confused at times. Funny for a creature who looks like he's a mutant. (Laughs) But don't worry, he's right as rain when you get to know him. (He leaves)
• Sandy:... Eh, good enough for me.

Helga's Treedome

• Platypus (Shaw): (Coughs, and speaks with a Mark Wahlberg-like voice) OUUUGH!! (Coughs smoke) 10 times! THIS IS THE TENTH TIME THIS WEEK!!! I'm incredibly lucky this polyurethane is the toughest Treedome Enterprises has. Oy, what a hogwash! (Sandy and her friends came in)... Oh, Miss Cheeks. The Board of Directors said you'd be coming. You said you wanna know the whereabouts of the last person who owned this Treedome?
• Sandy: Yeah. When I first met her, she sounded like a broken-spirited victim of the harsh circumstances I went through in 2006. As a Texan, you can have a sense of empathy by just listening to their voice.
• Icky: Not to mention, she sounds distractingly like Daring Do, or... AK Yearling, really.
• Shaw: Aww, yeah, they told me about poor ol' Helga. Had some decent friends here who taught her how to get over her aquaphobia, fly in this world when the friction acts on her wings, and even use her echolocation as well as any whale can. They told me that, at her age of 17, she was a sweet kind girl, even though her anger and stress got the best of her. Though she said she left Skycaves Incorporated because of it's fruit bat leader being too demanding, she went back since Treedome Enterprises was apparently not very courteous when kicking her outta this place.
• Sandy: So I've heard. She made it sound like TEL were the bad guys.
• Shaw: Oh, yeah. She had a lot of problems since she was still in her learning years, and though her friends tried to help, it just wasn't enough. But... I guess I should tell ya' the full story....

Flashback

• (Shaw): "It started out like any average day should for a newcomer."
• Helga: (She was seen at a young age in her airlock, and in a winged suit like Sandy's, having a voice like Stellaluna's, yet at the same time, the tone of Lightning Bliss, as she was struggling on her first day, as she managed to make her first step underwater, and then struggled using her wings in the friction of the water, she toppled over multiple times, failed to use her echolocation since it bounced off her helmet, as she started getting in comedic situations while this music played)

• Fish #1: (As she went through traffic) OUTTA THE WAY, ASSHOLE!!!
• Fish #2: (To his child) I'm telling you, son, there's no such thing as large dragon-like monsters wearing air suits to get you. (Helga ran right through as the child screamed) (Helga kept going through until she crashed into a vase shop as the guy holding a load of them Tom Screamed)
• Helga:... Sorry.
• This music played.

Spongebob Soundtrack - Hawaiian Link (b)

• Starfish: HAH! Already a day living, and the newbie is having a hard time fitting in.
• Fish #1: Wow, you got those wings, yet you can't seem to use them well? Wow, are you weird!
• Fish #2: I know! It's like she's afraid of the water or something. (A Dusky dolphin was watching as everyone laughed at her, hurting her feelings as she cried and ran off)
• Dusky Dolphin:... YOU ALL ARE AWFUL! (Everyone looks at her)... What the poor thing needs is guidance! She's a flying rodent that needs to learn to fit in with us. If you think you can make fun of someone who's new in the neighborhood, then... You should be ashamed of yourselves! (She runs after her as the people started pondering what they did)

Later That Night...

• (Iago): Wait... If she's scared of water... Why was she even here to begin with?
• (Shaw): Oh... She's been a confused soul for most of her life. She didn't know what she wanted to pursue. Being in this Treedome was the only thing she could get to get away from Miss Vixie. That night... She was a little upset about what to do.
• Helga: (She was hanging upside-down as she was pondering)... That's right. I AM weird. Already a day, and I can't fly, use my echolocation, and already, I'm scared of even drowning. It's... Why did I even choose to live here? (She starts to sing this as the Dusky dolphin from before was watching in sorrow and sadness (Bet ya didn't know this movie even existed, now did ya'?))

Stellaluna - My Whole World's Turned Upside Down (lyrics)

• Dusky Dolphin: (Sobbing softly to herself, then sobered up, and called on a phone)... Teresa? Yeah, yeah, I know it's late, but we gotta act for an obvious reason. Go round up Flyster, Hawker, and Jackson. I wanna help this poor soul out.

Later That Night...

• (Shaw): So, that night, her life was opened up to the sea much quicker than expected, turning her from a shy introvert afraid of the water, to a loving friend with a gang of supporters.
• Dusky Dolphin: (She and her friends came in, and those who could naturally breath air didn't bring water helmets as they entered)... MISS HELGA?
• Helga: (She was surprised)... Strange. Most people are asleep at this time of night. (She flew down and saw the strangers at her doorstep)... Who... Who are you?
• Dusky Dolphin: Don't worry. We're friends.
• Helga:... Go away! Can't you see I'm not needed.
• Dusky Dolphin: Miss Helga... I called out those townspeople for mistreating you, because I couldn't help but feel sorry for you.
• Helga: And so you're just going to stay up all night just to help me? Do yourself and your health a favor and not bother.
• Dusky Dolphin: Can you tell me why?
• Helga:... What?
• Dusky Dolphin: Why are you here? Why are you living down here if you feel like you don't fit in?
• Helga: ".... All you need to know is that I needed to find a better job then what I was working for before. However, this doesn't seem any better for my hydrophobia."
• Dusky Dolphin:... So, you're scared of water?
• Flying Fish: Wow! I never thought I'd see one. I mean, come on, plenty of land creatures I know love the water.
• Dusky Dolphin: Flyster, not everyone can swim. This bat can't even fly outside this place, because her wings are not used to the friction of the water acting upon them. It's like wearing a cape made of pure gold. It's just to strenuous.
• Flyster:... Is THAT why you brought me?
• Dusky Dolphin: You COULD say that. You ARE a flying fish, the only fish known to fly.
• Helga: Question, how is it that there's gravity in the sea?
• Vaquita: I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST HOW OUR WORLD WORKS! I DON'T QUESTION IT, I JUST ACCEPT IT AS MUCH AS ANY NORMAL PHYSICAL LAW! Our universes' physical laws are KNOWN to play in this kind of cartoon logic.
• Dusky Dolphin: Teresa, calm down!
• Vaquita (Teresa): CALM DOWN?!? You wake me up at 2:00 in the morning just to help this poor creature? You KNOW I do not like to be woken up like that!
• Dusky Dolphin: It's not my fault she's naturally nocturnal.
• Teresa: Oh, when I'm through with this, I'll knock YOUR turnal right off!
• Sea Turtle: Okay, SHUT UP!... Please?
• Dusky Dolphin:... Anyway, we need to introduce ourselves. My name is Dusky. This is Teresa, Flyster, Hawker (The sea turtle), and this is Jackson (The dwarf sperm whale).
• Helga:... And why are you helping me? Why feel sorry for me?
• Dusky: Who else will if everyone else sees you as weird and something to laugh at in your expense? You look like you could use some friends.
• Helga:... Just go! I'm not in a good mood right now.
• Jackson: OH, NO! I did NOT get woken up rudely just to leave! Miss, it's clear you need our help. Do you WANNA be accepted, or do you rather embarrass yourself even further?
• Helga:... (She flew off)
• Dusky: HELGA, WAIT!... (Sighs)...
• Teresa: Thanks a lot, Jackson!
• Jackson: "HEY AT LEAST I WAS BEING HONEST?!"
• Flyster: "Ya know what, maybe it's best we leave, if she's not interested, she's not interested-"
• Dusky: NO! We're not giving up! If she's not in the mood, we'll just wait here until she is.
• Flyster: WAIT IN THIS PLACE?!? ARE YOU INSANE?!?
• Dusky: Guys, we gotta do this! Would you rather watch her embarrass herself again, or would you rather be p***ks to join in on the hurtful laughter at her expense? This poor girl needs guidance! So, if you think sleep is more important than this, then go ahead and leave. But if you feel like sharing sorrow for her, then feel free to come back. Or, you can stay here and help me open her eyes to the world of the sea. She'll love it if she gets to know it more. So, are you in, or out?... (The four walked out)... Not, a very dedicated bunch, are ya? (Sighs)
• (Shaw): Dusky was determined to help her with her fears and awkwardness. She was a mammal, so she could obviously breath in air.
• (Helga was still up as dawn approached and Dusky was asleep, and she noticed her, flying down and accidentally waking her up)
• Helga: Why are you still here?
• Dusky: (She snorted, stretched, and sobered up)... Helga... I... (Yawns)... I just needed to wait if you were ready to talk. Are you ready to talk?
• Helga:... I dunno.
• Dusky: "Aw come on! The others were too afraid to even stay here! I'm pretty much the only dedicated one!"
• Helga: "Look, what I know is MY business! I have a right to keep it concealed."
• Dusky: So you'd rather put up with more laughter at your expense and just being an embarrassment?
• Helga: "I didn't came here to have people sing my phraises. I only came here cause of a job!"
• Dusky: I'm trying to help you. You need it more than you know.
• Helga: And what could YOU possibly do for me? I can't fly underwater, I'm scared of the water, and I'm easily frightened.
• Dusky: Those three are easy to fix. Flyster can help you resist the friction of the water and fly in the water efficiently, Jackson can help you get used to the dangers of the sea, and Teresa, practically an immigrant of her critically-endangered species status from the Gulf of California, can help you see that water is very inviting and a very nice place.
• Helga:... And you're sure you can have them help us given you said they walked out on you?
• Dusky: Eh, I blame that on bad timing. Their diurnal nature can make them cranky. But I guess we can wait until they wake up to ask them.
• Helga: "Look, I..... I just rather not take the risk. Go home, you wasted your time."
• Dusky:... Fine! I didn't wanna have to do this, but you leave me no choice. We'll have to do this the hard way.
• Helga:... What?
• Dusky: I'm gonna have to tell everyone that you'll need some help. Even if I don't get any aid, I'm sure it'll risk a lot for your privacy.
• Helga: T-T-T-That won't be necessary!
• Dusky: I assure you it is. Everyone will not only be asking to help, but they'll no doubt have more of a spectacle laughing at you and hurting your feelings again.
• Helga:... You bully!
• Dusky: Look, I'm just trying to help! You can't just stay cooped up in this Treedome and do nothing all day.
• Helga: Well, blackmailing is NOT going to help me. I always found that act very hurtful and cruel. Friends do NOT blackmail each other.
• Dusky: I'm just-
• Helga: You know what? It was a bad idea moving here. I'm sure I can get used to abusive orders from my family career's boss. Maybe not, but it's better than being publicly shamed. It's best I got outta this pigsty.
• Dusky: Wait, what're you talking about?
• Helga: IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS FOR THE LAST TIME!!! Just go away!
• Dusky:... You're scared, aren't you?
• Helga: (She stopped)
• Dusky:... You're scared of what you want to do with yourself. Whatever this abusive line of work is, is it REALLY worth getting used to instead of accepting an extended fin of friendship. If it helps, I won't blackmail you if you believe it's THIS hurtful. I just hoped it would get your attention.
• Helga: Congratulations, you only hurt my feelings even more by doing that! I hate the sea, I hate everything in it.
• Dusky: Okay, normally I'd find that offensive if I hadn't heard it before. I promise you, the ocean is a nice place to live, and there's so much for land creatures to live for with it.
• Helga:... Is there? What is there to live for in a life under the sea? Huh? We land creatures are NOT compatible with you. The ocean is a potentially hazardous, unhealthy, salty, dangerous place! Everything out there could no doubt kill you. Sharks, jellyfish, underwater pressure, the risk of drowning, the deathly effects of undersea travel, diseases, major and minor injuries, human activity, the weather, hell, you can get killed just by interacting with the natives and wildlife. I take my life in my hands every time I go out in open reefs. There's fricking crown-of-thorns starfish that find me delectable and I can't fly out in time, and I'm sure you know what kinda s*** they reap on your reef community.
• Dusky: How could I not?
• Helga: Don't agree with me! Also, even if I make it, you know what can kill me? The bleached coral that dispel infectious algae! You happen to know the most infamous of them?
• Dusky:... The algae that causes severe itching, feeds off of fluids, and is a common part of a sea snail's diet?
• Helga: EXACTLY! And the coral bleaching this reef suffers can favor their growth! And the ick seems to be VERY hazardous to the health of others. They also seem to hamper farming, because in the presence of moisture, which is ALL OVER THE F*****G PLACE, they can generate heat within dried up seaweed, and set it ablaze, funny how fire works underwater. And, even if you survive ALL THOSE THINGS, you know what else can kill you? The fricking doctor! The doctor can kill you. I'm all too familiar with the outbreak of ciguatoxins that reef fish spread into even their food if they don't sanitize it enough, and they are essentially like their natural skin oil, and I discovered that reef fish have 42% of the stuff in the oil they excrete. And the doctor, can no doubt spread that s*** on the things he touches. And with the toxins spreading across the place, it's all the way to fricking Sydney with this problem. Ciguatoxin is a VERY hard thing to avoid. You, you know what else? I heard that this place has a little bit of crime to it.
• Dusky: Of course you did!
• Helga: Honest to God, this place is a megalopolis, fancy word to say five times fast, and that invites money, AND crime along with it. I even learned they exploited the HELL outta the last one who had this Treedome for his wild inventions. Dirty bastards used clever manipulation to steal all of his rights to his inventions, got his funding cut, and forced him to leave. That's why I agreed to the s****y tactic of Treedome Enterprises hiding their line of work underwater, because before we know it, there's gonna be some sonovabitch melting the polar ice caps and sending the WHOLE planet under-f*****g-water!
• Dusky: Now why would they do that?
• Helga: I dunno, good question. Xenophobia and prejudice? A dolphin humiliated by a fricking SeaWorld? Or maybe just to be a sick f*** with aquaphilia! You never know! Oh, I was by the Outskirts Outlet Megamall recently, and I noticed some sick idiots eating ribs doused in hot sauce. Apparently, they ate hot spicy food every meal of the day, you know why? Because their pallets were so completely dulled from inhaling the bleachy residue of the corals around them 24 hours a day. That's all they could taste. You know what that kinda diet does to your guts? Constipation, cramps, dyspepsia, liver disease, kidney disease, hemorrhoids, bowel inflammation! They could literally die from their own fart bubbles!... AND THEY DID!!! That's what got me to leave! Oh, and you wanna see more? All we gotta do is get up and walk out the airlock! (They did)... THAT, is one of the senators of this town! He is dead! Died from gang of mobster f***s, and dumped his body in a keg right into a river of goo and flowed right near my f*****g doorstep, has been lying their dead for three days, and no one has done a thing! Not MOVED him, not looked INTO his death, not even replaced him with a temporary appointee! For the last THREE days, one of the highest ranking officials in this town, has been a dead guy.... OH! LOOK AT THAT! (A crown-of-thorns starfish was seen) Look at that, a crown-of-thorns, is dragging the body away, as if to illustrate my point! Bye! Bye, Mister Senator! Bye, have fun becoming starfish-s***, bye! GOD IN THE DREAMING!!! UGGHH!! (They went back in)... That, dear Dusky, is the sea to me! A disgusting, hazardous, bubbly cesspool of doom, and screw all of it!
• Dusky:... (Sighs) Helga, you simply need to see PAST all that!
• Helga: Oh, whales***! It's like telling a blind kid to pet a bunny, when really it's a porcupine. It's bound to be the death of me. SO SCRAM!! (Slams the door on Dusky)...
• Dusky: "... (Sighs). Jackson was right. Some people REALLY just want to be left alone."
• (Sandy): Tarnation!
• (Shaw): I know. I guess being a genius can make you scared in a scientific and overseeing way. She could've driven anyone in this reef crazy with her rambling, and even offend anyone here.
• (SpongeBob):... So, what got her to open up?
• (Shaw): "Actselly, it happened by complete accsident. Helga needed to go and buy some food this one day and ran into a very long line, to Helga's, obvious frustractions."
• Helga: (Sighs as she was waiting in line with so many people looking at her funny)... (She hid behind her wings)
• Fish #1:... You know? Thinking about what that dolphin said days ago... I am feeling a wee bit sorry for her.
• Fish #2: I agree, mate. What were we thinking laughing at her?
• Blue Starfish: Eh, I disagree to a degree. It was good to laugh, but when the novelty wears off, you DO open up to the pain.
• Clownfish:... Seems like a rotten way to sympathize, but you did open up, and that's all that matters. (Helga overheard all the inhabitants sympathizing with her as they started opening up to her)
• Helga:... W-W-What's going on?
• Dugong: Mam, I wanna ask... What is a 'bat' doing in the sea?
• Helga:... I don't wanna talk about it.
• Fish #3: Well, you can't feel better until you let it all out.
• Fish #1: Some of us didn't mean to make fun of you. It's just... You gotta laugh at yourself at times, even if it seems mean.
• Fish #2: Not exactly a good help, Tony.
• Fish #1 (Tony): Ah, gimme a break, you know it's true.... At times!
• Helga:... (Sighs)... I came because... Well, I wanted to live away from my family's demanding line of work. I've only been here for a few days, and already, I can't fly because the water acts on my wings, I can't use my echolocation because it just isn't used to an underwater setting as whales are, and... I'm scared of the water.
• Fish #4:... Why? The sea is pretty inviting when you get to know it, mate.
• Helga:... You DO know one of your senators died, right? He was found right near my doorstep, and... Got eaten by crown-of-thorns.
• Dugong:... That explains why one of them was missing.
• Helga: Look... I just don't feel like interacting right now. Just... Please, gimme some space.
• Octopus: You know what? You NEED help!
• Fish #5: Exactly! You look like you need it desperately. You don't want it because you're too shy of sea life.
• Helga: No! I just need time to-
• Sponge: Miss, stop hiding it! We're willing to help you out. Seeing how helpless you are over the past few days seemed to help us see you were hopeless. We can help.
• Helga:... Are you sure?
• Sponge: Do we SOUND like we aren't sure?
• Helga:... I... (Sighs)... Well... What do you got? AND THIS BETTER, NOT BE A SET UP FOR A PRANK?!
• Fish 6: "Wait, it's not? But I already got the whoopie cusin cannons up and ready!"
• Helga gave a blank face.
• Helga: "..... Ya know what, forget I ever engaged you people in conversation."
• Helga was just about to leave.
• Fish #6: (The Blue Star slapped him) OW! Okay, sorry!
• Blue Star: You dumb-bass! You planned this?
• Fish #6: Look, that's how I cope with stress now!
• Blue Star: Well, too bad. MISS! (She stops)... He doesn't speak for us. We mean every word of it. We DO sympathize. We just needed a few days to actually SEE the pain and misery you're in. The joke clearly wears off after a while. We now see you just need help coping.
• Octopus #2: Exactly! We're not THAT big of assholes. We just cope in our own ways. You can't be like this forever.
• Helga: Give me ONE good reason to trust you after one of you PLANNED to make fun of me!
• Blue Star: "I would like to state upfront that Tod did not represented the rest of us. He's, kinda the team comedian. Not one to keep things in a serious level."
• Fish 5: "Understatement of our lifetimes."
• Helga: "Well even then, that doens't make it easier to trust you people EVEN IF IT'S ONLY HIM! How can you expect me to trust anyone who hangs with a rampent prankster?"
• Crab:... You know? We won't ask or even force you to trust us if you feel there's nothing here for you. But ask yourself this: Do you wanna spend the rest of your life in worry like this? Are you REALLY willing to stay cooped in your air-filled home forever as an anti-social wreck? There's so much here that could be in your alley. If you don't take that chance, you may not get it again. You need to choose which step you want to take, because if you don't, what future could you possibly have? (Helga pondered this)...
• Fish #7:... Think hard on that. I'm sure you'll make the right decision. (They all went back to their business as Helga was worried)
• (Shaw): From that point, Helga was more scared of one thing than she was before: What would she become? What was she gonna make of herself? What did she want to be? Well, she finally made a smart decision, and visited Dusky. (She heads over to her house and knocks)
• Helga: DUSKY?... ARE YOU THERE?!?
• Dusky's voice: "Helga?"
• Dusky opened the door gentlly and looked out.
• Dusky: "I'm..... Surprised you came to me of all people. Or, to anyone at all. I, thought you were insistent that you didn't came here to make friends."
• Helga: "Well, it's, not to imply that the statement isn't true, but..... In all fairness, my emplyers didn't, explitsidly forbide me from having a social life, it was just me, being insecure. I never meant to make it sound like I didn't want friends, yet at the same time I had a job that makes a social life an impossability and-"
• Dusky: Is THAT what you thought? (Laughs) Oh, Helga! You have little faith in the world! A life of work without friends is boring as hell! You NEED to extend a wing of friendship once in a while.
• Helga:... I... Are you sure I can adequately make friends in this place?
• Dusky: Does a snail meow? If other employees of your business did it before, then so can you. What got you to come here?
• Helga:... I... The people... They started feeling sorry for some reason.
• Dusky: They did?... I'm actually surprised!
• Helga: So... If you think you can help me... Can you prove you can help me appreciate the water more?
• Dusky: Absolutely! I'll get my friends and we'll get started.

Later...

• Teresa:... Huh? She actually came out?
• Hawkson: I'm glad it didn't take her THAT long to do it.
• Flyster: Just... Remind me again what she needs help with?
• Dusky:... Well, for starters, she said she can't fly. Not surprising. The friction of the water makes it hard to do it as well as using a flipper. The weight is too much to aid. But I'm sure Flyster can help you with that!
• Flyster: Well, as a flying fish, I CAN help with that. But... I admit, it's gonna be a challenge!
• Dusky: There's also the echolocation. But, that's too easy. Me and Teresa have a lot in the the department of the world's best set of glasses. Have you tried seeing if it works underwater?
• Helga: It works by bouncing off of things. When I use it with this helmet, it's like I'm in a glass tank being tapped on! Just SO MUCH NOISE!!! And it hurts!
• Dusky:... Funny thing... There HAVE been bats I saw on the surface sticking their heads in to try that stuff out, and it was possible. So, yeah, bat echolocation can work underwater the same way it does for us! But, as for the helmet? That WILL be just as much a challenge as the flight problem. But, we've faced bigger problems than that in school. So... Is everyone in?
• Jackson: Well, I say it's for the best we do this for this poor soul. I'm game.
• Teresa: Me, too!
• Hawkens: Me, three!
• Flyster: (Everyone looked at him)... (Sighs) What the hell, I got nothing else better to do, anyway! Let's do it!
• (Shaw): As time went by, it all paid off. By the time they were done, she was blooming like a flower the next day.
• Helga: (She was seen soaring in the water flying normally across the reef) WHOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (Everyone noticed her flying, and though she still bumped into things, she was recovering and getting better, and used a new structure on her helmet for her echolocation to pass through and make good use, using it to detect scallops flying her way as she dodged) WHOAAA!!!... WOOOO, THAT WAS COOL! I... I'M SO HAPPY! (She did amazing flying stunts as she landed right into a park next to her newfound friends)... (She hugged them) OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I can cope better here now!
• Dusky: Don't mention it.
• Hawkens: With that, people here can take you seriously now.
• Flyster: Though, you still need some practice as your flight is still a bit sloppy. But other than that, kudos!
• Helga:... I... I just wanna say... This was something that came right out of nowhere! It seems you've got nothing else better to do but help a total stranger.
• Dusky: Hey, we can't socialize? Besides, you looked like you needed help, AND friends.
• Flyster: "Hey, let's not get to sappy here!"

Dusky Returns

Great Barrier Reef

• (Dusky): I discovered something was up 3 days ago when a friend I made accidental contact with thanks to my times talking to TEL. She's said to be a double-agent for Skycaves and is dating a flying squirrel named Harry, and... At that day, all hell from Davy Jones' Locker broke loose for both of them.
• Dusky: (She was on the Phone) Yeah, sure thing, Fly. I mean, it's been a while since we last hung out in the Reef Park. It's just, I've been busy what with my new romantic life. You know how it is. (The phone rang) Oh, hold on, I got another call. I'll see you then, alright? Alright, bye! (He switched lines) Hello?
• Bella's Voice: Dusky, it's Bella, WHERE ARE YOU, WE'VE GOT AN EMERGENCY HERE!!
• Dusky: Whoa, whoa, slow down, Bella! What's going on?
• Bella's Voice: It's Harry! He's a complete and total wreck!
• Dusky: Wait, what? What's wrong with him?
• Bella's Voice: He hasn't left his home in WEEKS! I-I went to check up on him and see if he was okay, but... He was crying his eyes out, his room was covered with pasted paper and malfunctioning machines, and he wouldn't stop even though I was there!... I... I don't know what I could do, Dusky! I... I think someone broke my... Poor Harry!
• Dusky: Okay, let's-let's just remain calm, and try to figure this out, okay? Did he tell you what was wrong?
• Bella's Voice:... Well... Apparently he was fired for something he was scammed with.
• Dusky: I- (She suddenly realized and slowly got angry)
• Bella's Voice:... Dusky?... DUSKY?!?
• Dusky: Okay, Bella, listen to me! I need you to stay calm, and take care of Harry. Bring him to your home of you have to, but do not, I repeat, do NOT, leave his side until further notice.
• Bella's Voice: Why, who did this?
• Dusky: Well, I think someone I know is manipulating him. You need to deny her that chance. Sit tight, and I'll call you back.
• Bella's Voice: But Dusky, who- (She hung up)
• Dusky:... (Sighs)... I knew all this was a bad idea from the start. (Her phone rang again as she answered) Hello?
• Shaw's Voice: Hello, Dusky? I don't know if you've heard, but, we gotta problem!
• Dusky: Don't worry! I know! I heard about Harry's 'disgraceful' retirement, and discovered it was a scam. (Sighs) She's gone too far this time! I gotta do something about it!
• Shaw's Voice: Dusky, you're not gonna try and confront her, too, are you?
• Dusky: Shaw, what other choice do I have? Since she was kicked out, I knew ignoring this was a bad idea. I can't just stay silent about this! SHE'S ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, NEPTUNE DAMMIT! So I don't care if Treedome Enterprises was being unreasonably uncourteous, I am NOT going to sit on the sidelines while she continues down this self-destructive path! Helga has ALWAYS needed guidance, and I was the only one capable of doing so. Thus, without me around, she's lost!
• Shaw's Voice: But... I already confronted her on transmission following my word of the news, and it didn't work. Believe me when I say, given how much TEL chewed her up and spat her out, it's gonna take a lot more than friends to get her to even flinch. You can't just go into this by yourself.
• Dusky:... That's why I'm bringing the others! Flyster, Jackson, Teresa, and Hawkens! We need to confront her. Have Bella get us prepared to confront her ASAP.
• Shaw's Voice:... Okay, you say so. Good luck. (He hung up)
• Dusky:... (Sighs)... I didn't wanna do this to you, Helga. But, this s*** has to end, and it has to end, NOW!
• (Dusky): So Bella made good on that promise, and she gave Helga a private assignment in the GBR Marine Park. And she DID manage to convince her well. If there was ANYTHING Bella was good at as a double-agent, it's that she's a good liar. So, she flew over to the park at the crack of dawn, which was essentially her species' version of sunset given her nocturnal nature, and we were going to make it end one way or another. We confronted her on the Green Island of Queensland where we used to hang out during trips and watch the humans admire our home.
• Helga: (She flew onto Green Island as she sniffed the sea air, and later dipped one of her toes in the water, missing the feeling)... Oh, Neptune, how I miss this place!
• ???: I'll bet you do! (Dusky and the others who could breath air came out)
• Helga:... DUSKY! GUYS! I-I can't believe it! (She hugged them as they did the same hesitantly)... Guys, it's been so long since we-
• Dusky: Cut the welcomes, Helga, you know what we're here for! And no, it's NOT for a reunion!
• Helga:... What?
• Dusky: We've heard what you've been doing. This whole 'revenge against Treedome Enterprises' thing? It's time to stop! Seriously! This has to stop! You're doing way more harm than you think you are!
• Helga:... I... So you have. I kinda thought you'd be happy for me. I mean, I got my entire family business in on it. They're gonna help me bring down Treedome Enterprises for what they did to me!
• Flyster: Girl, it's Basic Story 101: The good guys always win, the bad guys always lose!
• Jackson: Flyster, you say that as if heroism is easy. It's clearly not. You need to stop watching this many cartoons. But he's not too far off, Helga. You're clearly blind to the fact that you're destroying yourself and so many people's wonderful lives with whatever you're doing for no reason and out of nowhere, just for this nonsense!
• Helga: I'm doing this for US! They destroyed our lives! I mean, come on! Don't you miss me? I missed you every day! I cried myself to sleep every night, even as long as I had to just to flood the place and feel that sea feeling again! And it's all in THEIR hands! I don't wanna hurt you, but TEL must pay!
• Dusky:... See, here's the thing, Helga: Treedome Enterprises is not as bad as you think. They may've been uncourteous and flawed when they kicked you out, but they've done more good than that. They've helped humans and animals get along in harmony since the 19th Century! They helped land and sea creatures get along just as fluently as they could've destroyed your life, and ours! That seems to prove that they show at least SOME compassion.
• Teresa: Yep! I mean, you know MY species? We're native to the Gulf of California, but unfortunately, we're critically-endangered. It's one of the many reasons why I had to move to fresher climates, like here in the Great Barrier Reef! Yes, crown-of-thorns are massive pests here, and the words you used to describe the danger before you accepted our friendship, is the same problems I had on my first day. The coral bleaching was heavily affecting my home, too. But the thing is, when you were around and we helped you, not only did we inspire you, but YOU inspired US! I learned to live with my new home ever since, and though you're not living here anymore, we NEVER forget you.
• Flyster: Heck, many of us weren't that good with our OWN lives either. I used to be a troubled delinquent hobo who lived on the streets of this expansive reef. Beforehand, I was a good parkour master with my flight and stunts, and I had friends of my own despite the trouble I did. But they left me because I ended up causing an accident and a 'mock trial' that rendered me with no friends. I had no aid for money, which means I lost my house, and rendered me on the streets, taking my own problems out on everyone in particular. I was not glamorous, and I knew when to control myself and apologize when needed, but it was how I coped. Then, Dusky was the first one to call me out of it. We didn't exactly become friends, but we kept in touch. But then, since you came, you gave me a greater purpose. I helped out someone else in need, and now my new circle of friends welcomed me to a new place to live.
• Hawkens: I used to serve as a good member for the GBR Marine Park, and I loved to show snorkeling and scuba diving humans around the place. I even gave them turtle rides every now and then. I had been among the top inspirations of coexistence to the people of Queensland. But I wanted more. I wanted someone to be my friend. I wanted to find love. Dusky was my first friend, and I stuck to her side, unless it was unexpected and unhelpful. But when you came? Word of it reached the park, and humans became friends with me and started swimming with me more frequently. I watched many snorkelers propose, I organized a few marriages, and they paid me back with protection and even as a minor mascot, because they all saw me as a helpful endangered reptile.
• Jackson: And as for me? Well, I was hardly understood myself since my single father was a criminal. I looked after him as best as I could, and he disowned me from his life when I didn't wanna be in his shoes. I didn't wanna throw my life away and into a jail cell. I never saw him again ever since. And since I failed to earn reward money to bail him out and help start a new leaf, I didn't know what to do. Dusky, saw how miserable I was, and opened a fin of friendship. Sure I was rather aggressive and held back because of my loss, but when you came around, I started seeing life in a more clearer vision. I saw you like a child I wanted to look after when my father failed to look after. You changed my life forever.
• Dusky: And me? Well... I'm from a fancy place in New Zealand that had an oceanic current trade route from the Great Barrier Reef sector of Coral Vegas. I was one of the people who was born to a rich family, but was abandoned for foster parents in the poorer sectors of the place. They said they had responsibilities piled up that they couldn't raise a child. Feeling abandoned, I left to Coral Vegas to try and start life a new. But, I was a little alien to them. They were top-notch, they thought I was weird. They thought I didn't belong there. So, I travelled upwards across the reef to try and find a good life. That's... Where you came in. When I found you embarrassed and depressed, I knew how it felt. I knew how it felt to feel like you didn't belong. I was raised in a place I shouldn't have been, and because of that, it was hard to accommodate to my real parents' way of life. So I settled for more normal pastures. Then I found you. It was like looking in a mirror when I saw the raw emotion and tears in your eyes. I wanted to help you, because you and I are alike in so many ways.
• Flyster: Yeah! You gave us something we were missing, even if we didn't know it wasn't there. Some of us shutter to admit it, but you created us, and we created you.
• Dusky:... And now look at you! I mean, really! LOOK at you! Ruining the jobs of other Treedome Enterprises employees to garner attention. Even when we heard of your little incident when confronting TEL to it's current leader for the first time! We were disgusted to hear what you said! You verbally assaulted Lucy with words, taunts, and subjects that I feel shouldn't have been brought up, when they DIED a long time ago! This is NOT the same Helga we knew! This is a hurtful jerk whose willing to ruin the lives of other employees of TEL, just so you can get sympathy. All you're doing is recreating that dreaded tragedy of yours, but on a MUCH LARGER SCALE! Why? Because you want the company to see that it was wrong of them to do that to you, by turning so many of their employees against you. You just want to make ALL of their employees believe that the company is unfairly corrupt. Well, you know what, buddy, that just makes me SICK! You let their act judge you, and you're going to show the whole world that it shouldn't have been done.
• Flyster: Not to mention you don't seem to care who you hurt just to make it to your revenge BS! To put it bluntly, Helga, you're nothing but a bunch of pity wrapped up in the UGLIEST patch of fur ever grown!
• Helga:... (Sighs)... You know what? You're right! Who am I do wreck Treedome Enterprises' s***? Oh, I was so wrong! Let me go back to my abusive job instead of going back where I fit in so well! Let me announce it to the world, Dusky and pals save the day!
• Flyster: Helga, now you're just being a bitch!
• Helga: Here's something I've locked up far in my mind because I was too afraid to admit until now, because I cared, so much: I don't need any of you anymore! I was weak before I met you five. I couldn't fly, I couldn't locate anything with my mind, I was laughed at, bullied, and abused by my family company. Then you saw something in me that I didn't see: the will to just keep swimming! And that's what I'm doing! I'm climbing higher and higher, I'm swimming deeper and deeper into dangerous waters, pushing myself more than I was afraid to push myself before! Before you, I was a coward! I was scared STIFF of the water! Now, I LOVE it! Water is like the home I never realized I wanted. The sea, is my motivation, to destroy Treedome Enterprises for outliving it's usefulness by abusing it's power without a care in the world. Sure they did it in the past, but over time, like I am now, it changed, and became less! I am STILL grateful to all of you for helping me see this, and I have been wanting to say THIS since I began this revenge: Thank you, for getting me to nut up, and do something about it! But guess what? At this point, I feel as if you're just a bunch of baloney. So, here's the part that's gonna sting like a jellyfish: I'm grown up now! I'm matured, and there's nothing, you five can do, to change that! I wouldn't be where I am if I stuck around being scared of the water outside my Treedome, and you were damn persistent, but eventually, I made the choice when I saw things clearly after being asked what I wanted to be in the future. Well, I have made and lived my answer: I wanna be, FREE! Free of rules, rules, rules, and free of anyone who tells me where I can or can't live! I wanted to be with you guys again! I would've been free as a songbird if they hadn't done this! But I'm not! And those bastards at TEL are to blame, and I will never forget that sin for as long as I live! You all think I like doing this? I am doing this for the greater good.
• Dusky: So, that's what this is about?
• Helga: Yes and no! Once Skycaves destroys Treedome Enterprises, WE'LL be the ones running everything from air, land, and sea! Not only will I get back the life that was stolen from me, but so will everyone else!
• Jackson: You mean the ones that YOU ruined?
• Helga: It's to set an example, and show how evil their employers truly are. I can easily fix them as much as I can destroy them. I'm not fond of it, but soon, it will all be worthwhile. I don't need you any longer to get me far, but you still are due the thanks for making me the pushing swimmer I am now! And I will not rest, until Treedome Enterprises pays with their career!
• Dusky:... (Sighs)... Fine! Be that way! You wanna throw your life away fighting a pointless cause, then be my guest! But bare this in mind: You're STILL going to lose!
• Jackson: And outgrown you or not, we'll still care about you. That's why we're going to ensure you are stopped. We're going to have you open your eyes, whether you like it or not, because we care about you!
• Teresa: Exactly! We miss the REAL Helga! We miss the bat who loved the water after seeing what a beautiful place it is. We miss the bat who hung out with us. We miss the bat whom we could call our friend. And we want her back!
• Dusky: In fact, there are STILL ways to live here. Islands, beaches, resort cities! It's NEVER too late to start again, but in a different setting. We don't wish to see any harm come to you, but you need to learn a hard lesson about letting socialism get the better of you. If you hold a grudge against something that harmed you so much... It will lead to a self-destructive end. There's no reason to support Skycaves' competitive goals, as for all we know, they could've been using you this whole time.... Think about that for a moment. Come on, everyone! Let's blow this popsicle stand! (They went back in the water)...
• Helga:... Fine! I don't need them! I've got better things to do than waste my time with friends! (She flew away)

Helga Changes

(After Final Battle Against Vixie and Lucy)

• Helga: (She was continuing to fight and refused to go out) GRRRRRGGGHHHH!!! GO DOWN ALREADY!!! (She started pathetically slapping at her with her wings)
• Sandy:... Helga, stop! You're beat!
• Helga: NOT AS BEAT AS YOU WILL BE AFTER I- (She kicked her down as she finally fell)... UUURRRGGGGHHHH!!!
• SpongeBob: Are you done yet? Or are you thirsty for more?
• Helga: DON'T TAUNT ME WITH HOME ALONE REFERENCES!!! YOU ALL DON'T GET IT!!!
• Sandy: (Sighs) Yes, we do! You're just solving it wrong!
• Lucy: (She leapt in) Helga! She's right! You've taken this revenge act way too far! You let your tragedy make you become one with your evil family and company! Think about it! You left Skycaves to avoid their abusive demands! But then this little thing you made a big deal out of, has allowed you to be just as evil and greedy as Vixie!
• Helga:... DON'T TRY AND CONFUSE ME, MUTANT! THEY GAVE ME NO REASON NOT TO!
• Lucy: There was other ways to solve it! I am trying to help you as the head of the company that ruined you! I want to give you a better path than this! Just let me have that chance, and-
• Helga: TOO LATE! (She was starting to get watery eyes)
• Patrick:... Are... Are you crying?
• Helga: F*** NO!! I'LL CRY WHEN I'M DEAD!!! (She continues trying to fight)
• Sandy: Helga, just stop! You've got no energy left! You'll give yourself atrophy!
• Helga: SHUT UP! (She tried to throw a punch as she caught the wing)
• Sandy:... Young lady, you NEED to open your eyes! You'd better let us help you! You're beat, so let us just help you!
• Helga: NO! NO, NO, NO!!! I DO NOT TRUST YOUR COMPANY ANYMORE!!! YOU THREW ALL THAT AWAY!!!
• Sandy:... Lucy?
• Lucy: With pleasure. Helga, I'm sorry to do this! (She tapped a pressure point that knocked her out)...

Later...

• Helga: (She woke up in her old Treedome home in the Great Barrier Reef)... Uhhhgh... What happened? I... (She recognized where she was)... I... I'm home!...
• Shaw: (He came in) Yes, Helga! The heroes decided that the best way to negotiate with you in full is to talk to you in your comfortable and more familiar setting.
• Helga:... Who are you?
• Shaw: The current owner of this Treedome since you lost it. I am Shaw Platts. And... I brought some friends. (Dusky and the others came in)
• Dusky:... Hello, Helga.
• Helga:... I don't wanna talk to you anymore! You showed your support those bastards like all the rest!
• Dusky: I had no choice! I didn't want you to end up like your family. In fact, since we defeated them, we discovered circumstantial evidence that they were responsible for this whole thing.
• Helga: Bulls***!
• Jackson: It's true! Skycaves, more specifically, Vixie, wanted you back as one of their best assets, and when they discovered you left for their corporate rivals, they dubbed it as abandonment, and... Vixie came up with a way to manipulate you into coming back.
• Helga:... Okay, I know Vixie was a mean bitch, but she couldn't possibly-
• Dusky: Don't believe us? Listen to this log she had in her office:...
• Helga: "Hey, that's private Skycaves property!"
• Dusky: Look, trust me when I say, Skycaves is too unforgivable for us to respect their privacy. And after this, you'll agree! Now listen! (She plays)
• (Vixie): Helga V. Ampire has abandoned her family business just this morning. (Sighs) I thought that little girl was better than that! She said she could take the demands. Heh, she knows DAMN well lying to your superiors is a punishable offense, as well as abandonment without authorization! Well, nobody quits me without my consent! So, if she wants to join our rivals, then she needs to see WHY she belongs here more than there. (Later) Well, it seems my spies have revealed that Helga has not fallen for Plan A of discovering she couldn't possibly fit in thanks to some meddling sea-dwellers! So, I didn't want it to come to this and make myself feel like a bad guy, but... I have no choice. I must go to Plan B. (Later)... Plan B was a resounding success! Having her steer away from her job with our undersea pawns to be more with her friends have resulted in her violating her job description, and thus, they had her kicked out. She has come back begging us for revenge, which I have been more than willing to oblige since I hate them with a burning passion. (Helga was shocked at those words)... So, yes, we WILL get revenge of them on her behalf! Soon enough, TEL will crumble into the depths of the sea, and we will be the most dominant inventive business in the animal community. Nothing will stand in our way! NOTHING! (The logs ended)
• Helga:...
• Dusky:... Believe us now?
• Helga:... THAT DAUGHTER OF A BITCH!!! Treedome Enterprises wasn't my enemy!.... Though they SERIOUSLY still need to upgrade their practices!
• Shaw: "That is true, but Vixie was the one who took advantage of those practices."
• Helga: Ergo, SHE was this whole time! I... I never thought she could stoop to LIFE-RUINING LEVELS!!!!
• Lucy: (The others came out) Good! So now that you see the truth, you must have my sincerest apologies as the head of Treedome Enterprises for being fooled by this ruse.
• Percy: It was just as much a shock to us as it was to you.
• Helga: (She slowly started to cry hysterically)
• Sandy:... Holy guacamole!... She's actually showing the raw emotion she repressed for all these years! Good, because she needs to let it all out.
• Helga: VIXIE, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEE-HEEEEE?!? (She sobbed her eyes out)
• Marmalane: "Ya know, if this were to reach the land press, I would wager that would not bode well for Skycaves."
• Reginald: "As much as Vixie deserves it, I rather Skycaves to go down honorably and have them shut down for engaging in criminal activity. We will however, save the logs for court evidence to prove Vixie's criminal nature."
• Helga: "..... But, what about those of my family that aren't COMPLETE jerks, like my dad, or those that are only working for Skycaves for an honest living and knew NOTHING of Vixie's bullshit?!"
• Percy: "Treedome Enterprises is willing to offer honest Skycaves employes not tainted by Miss Vixie a stand to maintain a working life.... Even for you, Miss Helga."
• Helga: "..... You would hire me back? But, what about Shaw?"
• Shaw: "Aw, no worries. I was aiming for a transfer to the waters of my native home austrilla anyway. That would make me less of a public risk to these people here that way."
• Helga:... Unless you had a partner.
• Shaw:... Pardon?
• Helga: I know you like this career and this home just as much as I do. I'll let you stay here, as a new friend, for helping my friends cope with my loss. I can be there by your side and keep you from being too much of a public risk.
• Shaw:... You really mean it?
• Helga: "I am rarely a girl that's all talk and no action."
• Shaw: "...... So you do mean it."
• Helga: Of course. After all, it can help more than you. It can allow me to spend more time with my friends without worry of what Vixie reaped on me.
• Shaw:... Eh, what the hell, it's hard to get a different job back in Aussie anyway.
