Empty... That's all there was to that moment. When the pressure held all of it together, it weighed down more than a simple weight from the gym. When the shock filled their bodies, they froze like statues. Nobody had any clue what they got themselves into. They didn't though... get into that game on purpose. Instead, they were forced to. "What to do now?" Lingered their heads, as they tried to mellow their feelings and thoughts in order. But... nothing was happening. Expect the silence that everyone heard.

https://youtu.be/55dSnfYE-pw

Spongebob and the rest of 17 participants were still hanging on with the situation they were in. The killing game... It changed their moods with 180 decrees. No such a thing as "free vacation" existed anymore; just a ruthless game with murders, betrayals, and suspicions. As Spongebob looked around, he saw all their expressions. Fear, disbelief, hatred, confusion, and some... maniac grinning as well (You can already guess who.). It took a while until someone said something.

White Impostor: Welp, I'm going to my bed. Smell ya later-

Uzi: *groaning* Uaaaargh!!

Uzi threw Woody's discovered hammer at the statue, quickly giving attention to herself. Some even snap from their despairful trance. Now all the eyes were on Uzi.

Uzi: No way I'm letting that tweety bird trick us to murder! 'Cause if he does-!

Uzi: (tense) I might bite someone alive...!

There was an awkward moment after that. Someone then tried to say something as well.

Larry: U-uh... well...

Marge: Isn't that too violent way to do it, Uzi?

Uzi: (turned at Marge in anger) Bite me! I'm only giving warning signals to that bird and his retarded emo-boy assistant!

Flowey: What's the signal? That you might be a cannibal?

Uzi: And I suppose YOU have a better idea of how to deal with those two?

Flowey: Those fools are trying to make us play the game... So we just simply avoid playing any games.

Larry: When you mean "avoiding playing any games", are you only talking about this killing game? Cuz I have to return back to my group chat so we could play Fortnite.

Stewie: Fortnite? Bleh! I'm more of a Counter-Strike player of myself.

Marge: Well, we can always play some other game instead.

Spongebob: I think we should try to find a way out of this game. Maybe we can find some clues or something.

Papyrus: That's a good idea. We need to think of a way to escape the game.

Skid: Escape plot? Do we have one?

Alex: If there ain't dragons 'ere, I'd say we find somethin' else.

Pump: Like a helicopter?

Handy: If there was one, I would've left already.

Flowey: And now you can pilot a helicopter too? I think you should focus on building skyscrapers rather than building hefty lies.

Handy: Was that a third-rate pun?

Papyrus: NYET! Puns are denied in this community!

Girlfriend: Why? There's nothing harm from a silly wordplay.

Monika: I agree with Girlfriend. Puns are fun and creative.

Papyrus: No! I already heard too much from Sans!

Handy: Seriously, who IS Sans?

Papyrus: Sans is a dear brother of mine! However, he is lazy and he ALWAYS makes awful puns!

Izzy: What kind of puns?

Papyrus: Anything! We live in Snowdin, and he always says it's "chilling" to live there.

Monika: I get it! When it's almost cold, then it's chill. And since you live in such a snowy place, you always have a chilling feeling.

Handy: (sarcastic) Thanks for the UNNECESSARY information I needed.

Marge: I don't think you are giving a great example for children by giving sarcasm, Handy.

Handy: (sarcastic) Oh, I see. I'll try to be more appropriate in the future.

Alex: There ain't endin' to that, righto?

Woody: I've heard more s-sarcas-sm from Nickel anyway.

Monokuma: Well, if we ain't going out with a helicopter, then let's find a boat to row away from here.

Alex: But of course! I can build a boat from a couple of wood blocks and use a craftin' table to make one.

Stewie: This isn't Minecraft, Alex. There are no crafting tables here.

Alex: Shoot! I thought I was onto somethin'

Monokuma: What? Hey! That was my idea!

Spongebob: But at least we have some ideas for an exit, right?

Uzi: Well, you do have a point, Spongebob.

https://youtu.be/3bdleswoi6s

Monika looked at the sky. It was almost filled with stars.

Monika: Wow. I think it's nighttime pretty soon. Stars are shining brightly like an unicorn.

Stewie took his Monopad to check Monika's claim.

Stewie: Hm... Yes. It's currently 9:47 PM. It's almost time for nighttime in this bloody game. I wonder what kind of night it'll be.

Marge: Oh it is?! Kids, I think it's time for your bedtime!

Stewie: Hold up! Since when did you take care of us?

Marge: Since I'm the only parent here, you, Skid, and Pump are under my radar for now on.

Stewie: (sigh) Fine, but I still think it's a bit early for bedtime.

Marge: I'm sorry, Stewie. But it's important that we all get some rest for the night.

Flowey: Funny to see someone who is an evil genius but still has to be tucked into a crib.

Stewie: (Marge takes him from the ground) Says the person who needs a bow on her head.

Flowey: I'm a boy.

Stewie: Lovely. Maybe you need to gay up a little.

Flowey: Ugh! You little rascal-!

Marge left with Stewie, Skid, and Pump.

White Impsotor: And it's time for me to disappear.

White Impostor, Handy, and Natsuki left the group as well. Followed by Monokuma and Uzi.

This left Spongebob, Flowey, Papyrus, Larry, Woody, Monika, Girlfriend, Izzy, and Alex to the statue.

Woody: We lost a few people from convers-s-sation. What now?

Papyrus: I have an idea! I'll arrange a meeting for the very next morning! We will poke our heads together to solve this escape island mystery!

Izzy: Awesome! I love escape island mysteries!!

Spongebob: Let's do it!

Girlfriend: Where do we set up the meeting?

Monika: What about breakfast time? We can eat breakfast at the Restaurant and discuss our plan.

Larry: That sounds like a great idea!

Alex: So it's settled then! No one shall be left behind thou!

Flowey: I have a feeling that the serial killer and orange beaver liar aren't going to this meeting THAT easily.

Izzy: If they aren't joining-

Izzy started to wave her arms everywhere.

Izzy: My Aikido moves will bob their head off the neck! HAAYAA!!!

Woody: I fear you are j-just s-sugarcoating the killing.

*Ding Dong, Bing Bong!*

Monocrow: "Well, lovely evening everybody! It is now 10:00 PM. The night has now officially arrived."

Parallel Larry: "So you better get your sorry buts to the Hotel, if you want to sleep or whatever!"

*click!*

Papyrus: Er... I was hoping for a nicer announcement.

Girlfriend: That clone is an asshole. I don't understand why he has that mood.

Larry: I'm sure he is just moody from the work.

Woody: I dunno why y-you are protecting him.

Larry: Huh? What do you mean?

Woody: He is-s obvious-sly cruel. And he forced us to kill each other.

Alex: I agree. There ain't salvage to that jackass.

Larry: What? He is always been like that.

Flowey: If he's been like this before, why didn't you try to stop him before?

Larry: He wasn't that much of a threat...

Monika: That's what they all have been. I can easily name all 76 books that describe the very same characteristics.

Larry: Wha- what are you trying to say?

Flowey: Personality... cruel words... the co-host of this killing game... It's quite obvious that he has been planning to become a villain from the start.

Flowey: Even before you even met him!

Larry: (confused) Wait, what? I don't understand.

Papyrus: I don't understand either. How come Larry's clone became such a cruel person as you claim him to be?

Flowey: You both are such goodie-goodies. You don't even accept this line of logic.

Spongebob: They have a strong opinion of him, Flowey. The seed of trust is always growing like a plant.

Monika: Hm... Nice poetic words, Spongebob.

Spongebob: (blushing) E-hehehe... Thanks.

Girlfriend: I think I need to wash my face before going to bed. It's already too dark in here.

Alex: Yeah, I agree. If I was in my world, it would be a big fight in there.

Everyone left for the hotel. Eventually, they arrived at their very own beds. Spongebob shuffled himself to the bed and placed the blanket on him. As he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think about the events that had transpired that day. He knew that they had to come up with a plan to escape the island, but he also knew that it would be difficult. He had never been one to back down from a challenge, but he was also not one to give up easily.

...

???: Everything went perfectly.

https://youtu.be/t7rlos2PiRQ

Parallel Larry was on the phone. The other in the line was some mysterious person. Both seem to be relieved from the day.

Parallel Larry: Now that we have invaded the game, we can start where we left off.

???: Yeah. I have been prepared for everything, ever since 'that incident' happened.

Parallel Larry: Well, it wasn't your fault that your friends were killed by the Mastermind.

???: True, but it was still a failure on my part. I should have been more careful.

Parallel Larry: You didn't know what you were getting yourself into. But don't worry, we'll take care of it. Just be patient and we'll get out of this mess.

???: I hope so.

Parallel Larry: So who do you think is this so-called "symbol of hope" you have been talking about?

???: Heh. I've got no clue. Anyone could be one.

Parallel Larry: Come on. Don't talk trash. You've already got someone in mind.

???: Oh, I see. Well, I'm not going to tell you who it is. But I will say that it is someone who has been a great help to us in the past.

Parallel Larry: Who is it?

???: That's classified information.

Parallel Larry: But do they know that they are "the hope"? We removed any necessary memories from %"%#"¤"¤#.

???: I don't think they know. But I do know that despite losing memories, 'someone' ended up becoming the true hope.

Parallel Larry: You are talking about 'Makoto Naegi', aren't you?

???: Yes, that's correct. And I believe that he will be able to help us once again.

Parallel Larry: Isn't he part of that Future Foundation corporation or something? That's like so far from the place that we are! And I highly doubt that they will get involved in our situation here.

???: ...

Parallel Larry: I mean aren't you aware that you-

???: Yes, I'm aware.

Parallel Larry: ...!

???: But I don't have time to lose any shred of hope because Naegi isn't coming here.

???: I've got to do it alone... And with you as well. You'll be my backup.

Parallel Larry: ... But we still have 'them' right?

???: Indeed. As long as they exist...

???: Everything should be 'perfectly staged'.

Chapter 1 - The ice always has its cracks [Begins!]

...

*Ding Dong, Bing Bong!*

Monocrow: " Good morning everyone! It is now 8:00 AM!

Parallel Larry: So get out of bed and do what other stupid people would do!

*Click*

https://youtu.be/Wc_BMbnQkzo

Spongebob: (Even Parallel Larry's morning announcement is no different from the nighttime announcement...)

As Spongebob groggily opened his eyes, he realized that he was still in bed. He stretched his arms and legs, feeling the softness of the sheets against his skin. He sat up and looked around the room, taking in the familiar surroundings. He knew that he had to get up and start the day, but he also knew that he couldn't do it alone. Spongebob then got dressed and then left his hotel room. As he left-

Natsuki: What?! No way!

Natsuki already was arguing with Monika and Handy.

Monika: Natsuki, Papyrus asked everybody to come to the meeting. You have to join in as well.

Natsuki: I don't care about that meeting! I just want to go to the beach and relax.

Monika: Natsuki, you know that we need to work on our plan to escape the island. We can't just sit around and wait for something to happen.

Natsuki: But I don't want to be a part of this plan!

Handy: (sigh) Listen to me, you little prick. I don't wanna do this either, but we don't have a choice. So quit your whining, come downstairs, and PRETEND to care and shut up.

Natsuki: U-urg...!

Spongebob: I guess the situation here isn't good.

Handy: You think? I have to come to the meeting with "her" out of all people.

Spongebob: Surely there is something to lighten the mood...

Handy: With the people here... I doubt it would be easy.

Handy: Anyway, we are wasting time. Let's just go.

Handy left first to the Restaurant. Spongebob, Monika, and Natsuki followed him.

They entered the Restaurant. It seems that everybody, except Alex and Marge, was there.

Spongebob: Good morning, everybody.

Skid and Pump: Morning!

Monokuma: Good. Looks like everybody is here!

Monika: Are you sure? Alex and Marge aren't here.

Girlfriend: Oh! They are in the Kitchen. They are making breakfast for everybody.

Spongebob: (Smiling) Oh, that's nice of them.

Stewie: They better hurry. I haven't eaten anything yesterday!

White Impostor: Sucks to be you! I snatched some donuts from the SuperMarket. It's a perfect crime!

Larry: Aren't we allowed to take anything from SuperMarket without paying them?

Natsuki: Heh! I guess whito's crime was petty.

White Impostor: Watch your tone, girl. It might be the last time you speak.

Uzi: And your coffin will arrive shortly if you do it first.

White Impostor: Hrmp! I'm not taking remarks from a robot.

Uzi: I'm a Worker Drone. There's a difference between a mere robot and a worker drone.

Skid: That's true! They have feelings! When we talked in the hallway, Uzi mentioned this N-guy and she was blushing!

Uzi: (embarrassed) W-wha?! D-don't say stupid stuff, kid!

Handy: Why? Is your "dreamy" boyfriend so embarrassing that you have to hide him from the public eye?

Pump: Maybe Ms. Uzi wants to marry him!

Uzi: (turns around) Bite me!

Izzy: Okay, I'm starving! Where is-

Marge: (in the Kitchen) We are ready! Heads up!

Marge came out of the Kitchen with a mountain of pancakes with maple syrup. Everybody quickly glanced at the pancake mountain.

Larry: N-no way! That's a lot, Marge!

Flowey: I won't believe it... Did she make all that?

Marge: I didn't do this alone. Alex helped me. Even though she had no idea what pancakes were.

Monokuma: She didn't know?

Stewie: Who cares?! Give me those pancakes!

Everyone started munching down the pancakes. Eventually, everyone was finished.

Skid: Woow! That was tasty!

Papyrus: Indeed! It might even beat my cooking-!

Papyrus: Wait... what am I saying?! My cooking is still the best around here!

Stewie: (smirking) Oh, look who here is gloating.

Handy: Well, it was worth to eat all that.

Flowey: Was that a compliment?

Handy: ...

Girlfriend: Ahehehehee... I put so much maple syrup that I feel quite drowsy.

Larry: Do you need a pillow?

Girlfriend: (chuckles) No, thanks. I can still get from place to place.

Marge: Now then since we all are finished, we can start discussing our main topic here.

https://youtu.be/yslw56an_PY

Uzi: You are talking about an escape plan, right?

Marge: Yes, that's right.

White Impostor: Heh. You guys really think it's going to work?

Flowey: We haven't even suggested a single thing yet.

Monokuma: Well then! Let's plan something out!

Monika: Before that we should probably fill out some information first.

Woody: I-information? About what?

Monika: Remember what Stewie told us about multiverse theory?

*flashback*

Stewie: Yes, yes. But back to my theory, the multiverse theory states that there are an infinite number of universes coexisting with ours on parallel dimensional planes. Now, in each of these universes, the reality is different than our own. Sometimes only slightly or sometimes quite radically. The main point is that every possible eventuality exists.

*flashback ends*

White Impostor: I recall the term. Now explain your reasoning.

Monika: I'm sure most of us have noticed how different species we all look like. Uzi, you are a Worker Drone. Surely you must have realized how multiverse is connected to our situation.

Spongebob: (Multiverse... is connected to our situation...?)

Uzi: Indeed. All humans from my world have been terminated. And yet, I can clearly see Izzy, Natsuki, and even you Monika; the humans from Earth being alive.

Flowey: Hm... Stewie, can you offer an explanation regarding our universe colliding with each other?

Stewie: Ah yes! That can be explained! The universes are connected through wormholes, which allow for instantaneous travel between them. But to all our universes to collide with each other...

Stewie: It would require a ton of gravity and power. Not to mention that wormholes must also collide. But...

Pump: But what...?

Stewie: The chances of that happening are... 0,0000013948472%!

Woody: Wow! That's what Golf Ball would s-s-say! S-she always s-s-says calculations like-...

https://youtu.be/4Cm8p1Ywl6Y

Woody: ...W-wait!! That's incredibly low!!

Uzi: So basically it is near impossible.

Stewie: That's right!

Larry: Then how did this happen?! Don't tell me this is VR!

Girlfriend: Virtual Reality? That would work, right?

Handy: So what are you claiming, turtles? That I'm put into some sort of video game with 17 other AI morons by Sniffles?

Natsuki: "AI morons?!"

White Impostor: For a damn AI act, this is certainly too realistic to me.

Woody: C-can it be? Did GB really create AI and then-

Stewie: Hold on. There is another way!

Girlfriend: Another way? How? With that calculation that you presented, it's quite hard.

Stewie: Hard? Yes. Impossible? Doubtful.

Woody: What do you mean?

Stewie: The only way to do something like this... Is to force it to happen.

Marge: Force it?

Stewie: As a Technician or Ultimate Technician that these losers are calling me, I have come to impossible challenges. I have surpassed both time travel and multiverse at times.

Uzi: ...What?

Flowey: B-both?!

Stewie: This means both time and a single universe can be manipulated.

Monokuma: Wait... could it be...?

Stewie: That's right! Universes move time by time too! And if it can be manipulated by time machines... then it's quite obvious that something like this could happen! Someone managed to solve such a trick...!

Marge: Someone.... but who?

Papyrus: ...

Alex: ...

Monokuma: ...

Izzy: I know! The Mastermind!

Spongebob: ...!

Handy: You just jumped to the obvious? The Mastermind really did this work for a sick reason? What are they? Bill Ciptor?

Flowey: Or maybe... Someone, who is helping The Mastermind!

Handy: Really?

Flowey: What if it was teamwork? Could two sick twisted creatures want to create a killing game? I think it's possible!

Marge: That's scary!

Monika: And yet probable.

Marge: ...!

Pump: Skid, I'm confused.

Skid: Same here, Pump.

White Impostor: Well, child. You have entertained me with conspiracy theories. Can you now tell me about the actual plan to get out of here? I'm still hungry for crewmates.

Stewie: There are two things we need to do! One: Communicate with the rest of the outside world. Two: Find any evidence for an escape plan or The Mastermind.

Alex: What 'bout the killin' game itself?

Stewie: Yes, that is a crucial step. We must find a way to stop The Mastermind from carrying out their plan.

Uzi: (slams her fist to the table) Then we will split up! There's 18 of us. We will split into 6 groups of 3. We'll search around the island and find anything convenient and bring that info to us. And we will do it in 2 hours!

Everybody looked at each other. Some agreed and nodded.

https://youtu.be/VkXerIHwWJE

Papyrus: Agreed! We must combine our forces and find the solution to our problems!

Monika: So then! Let's choose-!

Marge: Ahem! We will pick groups randomly.

White Impostor: ...Well, fuck.

Izzy: Aww! Can't we choose? It's much simpler!

Marge: But we also need to get closer and bond to form new friendships that might help us later!

Alex: Agreed! Let's start with the first group. Uzi, Stewie, and Skid, you'll be the first group. Woody, Handy, and Pump, you'll be the second group. Larrs, Monokuma, and Girly, you'll be the third group. Marg', Flowey, and Papyrus you'll be the fourth group. Natsu, Spongebob, and I will be the fifth group, and Impostory, Izzy, and Monik will be the last group.

Natsuki: Natsu?! You're mocking me!

Handy: I have been demoted from a construction worker to a babysitter? Oh, the horror!

Pump: (annoyed) Aren't ya a bit rude?

Woody: (annoyed) I'm an adult too...

Spongebob: There, there! All you need to do this to breathe... and smile!

Handy huffed and turned his head in the other direction.

Uzi: Okay... Let's do this!

Everybody split up in different directions. It took a while until Spongebob, Alex, and Natsuki were alone in the Restaurant.

Natsuki: Well then, since there is finally peace and quiet, can we go now? As soon as we find any sort of clues, the better the result is.

Alex: Absolutely! Ready, Squarepants?

Spongebob was confident to find any clues from the island.

Spongebob: Ready!

Natsuki: So... where off to?

Alex: Hm... Stewi's team is probably after the Radio Tower so that's out of the question.

Spongebob: (...Hm... So it has to be the place others wouldn't go after... What is it...?)

Spongebob: Gymnasium!

Natsuki: Uuuuuuh... What?

Spongebob: There might be some clues in there! It's pretty close!

Alex and Natsuki looked at each other.

Alex: I'd say, that's a good option!

Natsuki: Hrmp! Not like we have a choice here...

Natsuki: Okay, holeboy. You're getting your wish. Let's go!

Spongebob, Alex, and Natsuki took their eyes on the Gymnasium. They walked there from the back of the hotel. They soon arrived at the Gymnasium. As they entered, they saw all kinds of technology and equipment in there. Spongebob was thrilled about this.

Spongebob: Woooow! It's better than Larry's gym!

Natsuki: What?! That turtle has his own gym?! Impossible!

Spongebob: Uh... I'm talking about Larry the Lobster! My good friend.

Natsuki: Oh. Figures. Anyway, let's search for clues.

Spongebob, Natsuki, and Alex started to search the gym, looking for any clues that could lead them to the mastermind's plan. They rushed a little bit. Until...

Alex: Well ain't this a bullseye?!

Natsuki: What? WHAT?!

Natsuki and Spongebob went to Alex. Alex was holding a newspaper.

Natsuki: Newspaper! Let me read it!

Natsuki snatched the newspaper from Alex. Then she began to read.

Natsuki: " Breaking news! The mastermind has revealed his plan to the world! He plans to release a virus that will kill half the population! The virus will be released in three days! Authorities have been notified and are currently working on a cure. The mastermind has also threatened to release a new virus every day until his demands are met."

Spongebob and Alex were shocked by the news.

Spongebob: V-virus?!

Alex: Kill half of the population?!

Natsuki closed the newspaper and held it in her left hand.

Natsuki: Sounds like our hard work is paid off. Next place!

Alex: A-already leavin'?!

Natsuki: Of course! This place is a dump anyway!

Natsuki, Spongebob, and Alex left from Gymnasium to outside. Natsuki stopped and looked at the two, waiting for a new suggestion for the next location.

Natsuki: Well? Where to next? We still have...

Natsuki looked at her tablet for the time.

Natsuki: 1 hour and 26 minutes left. What do you guys want to do?

Spongebob: Hmm... Let's see... I know! We could try the Candy Store! It's a little bit of a long shot, but we could try it.

Alex: I agree! Let's go to the Candy Store!

Natsuki: Okay, let's do it!

They all went to the Candy Store. Luckily for them, no one was there to investigate. So they had enough space to look around.

Alex: Hm... A ton of new things to see 'ere! What 'r those?

Natsuki: It's called candy. And it's sugary sweet.

Alex: Sugar? That's the ingredient for makin' the cake.

Natsuki: Congratulations, you actually solved something, Sherlock's trophy wife. Now let's keep looking around!

As they continued to explore the Candy Store, they saw nothing of the sort. It looked like a waste of time.

Natsuki: Nothing? Honestly! This is starting to look irritating!

Spongebob walked and get ignoring Natsuki's complaints. He had a feeling. Some feeling. Something that he hasn't felt before. Then there were echoing voices...

https://youtu.be/KT-Ylj9QfCQ

Echoed Voice 1: Come, come! We need to move forward!

Echoed Voice 2: We can't! It's too risky!

Echoed Voice 3: C-come on guys! We need to do somethin-!

Echoed Voices 1 and 2: Shut up, [distorting] %IGJR=EJG=!

Echoed Voice 4: Seriously? We need to act, Now-!

Alex: Hey, SquarePants!

Spongebob woke up from the trance. Alex was right next to him, having her hand touching Spongebob's head from concern.

Alex: Are ya ok? You look pale.

Spongebob thought about what to say.

Spongebob: uh... I'm totally okay! I'm just thinking about what to eat later!

Alex was confused but decided to rub it away.

Alex: Well, can't blame ya. The pancakes were good but there's always dinner!

Alex went to the lemonade section. Natsuki kept staring at Spongebob in confusion.

Natsuki: Like, what the hell was that?

Spongebob looked surprised and turned around.

Natsuki: You just lied to her face.

Spongebob: What?! I didn't-

Natsuki: Like that's going to work on me!

Spongebob: ...! (She can see through me?!)

Spongebob: (But... what's with those voices? Were they fighting or something...?)

Natsuki: Uhh...! Hello?!

Spongebob: Gah! (nervous) You surprised me!

Natsuki: What are you hiding, holeboy?! You better not lie in front of my face!

Spongebob: I'm not lying, I swear!

Natsuki: Prove it! Show me what you're hiding!

Spongebob: Well I-

https://youtu.be/jqT7ap1KC-I

Suddenly a hand came from behind Natsuki. It was Woody's hand. And he seemed quite serious. His eyes were glowing... red? It seemed like out of character for Spongebob.

Woody: Natsuki... Do not engage in something you don't know yet...

Natsuki: W-what?!

Woody: ...

Natsuki: Your tone changed... You think you can command me like that?!

Woody: ...

Woody: 'And what if I can'?

Natsuki: ...!

Natsuki struggled with words. She eventually huffed and left the Candy Store. Woody rubbed his head and turned on Spongebob. His mood was different.

Woody: H-hey S-spongebob! How's-s-s the investigation going?

Spongebob was stunned by the mood change.

Woody: Why d-do you look like that? You look like you s-saw a ghos-s-s-t!

Spongebob: (Unbelievable! He just changed personalities! How did he-?!)

Woody: ...

Woody looked at the doorway. He seems worried and upset.

Woody: I uh... s-should mention one thing...

Spongebob: (Huh? What's this?)

Woody: My mental s-state... is-sn't that good at all... I might have joined 'them' to make 'him' happy... But it might have made it s-stronger...

Woody: B-but I intend to hide it from him as-s-s well...

Woody: S-so do me I favor and... 'don't tell anyone.' It's-s better thi-s-s way.

Woody left from Candy Store leaving Spongebob visibly worried.

Spongebob: I... ugh...

Spongebob: (His mental state is not good? So he can switch personalities without much thought?)

Alex came back to Spongebob.

Alex: Okay! I think we're done here-

Alex looked around and saw only Spongebob, staring at the doorway.

Alex: Where is Natsu? And why 'r you surprisingly quiet?

Spongebob: I'm sorry, Alex. I was just lost in thought.

Alex: But now you're okay?

Spongebob: Yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks for asking.

Alex: And Natsuki?

Spongebob: Woody was here for a sec. Natsuki got and was tired of him, so she left.

Alex: Natsuki bullied poor Woody? Despicable! I will have a talk with her later...

Spongebob: (W-wait that's not what happened-!)

Alex: Well, since Natsuki left the group, let's go back.

Alex and Spongebob went back to the hotel. They entered the Restaurant and saw two groups had arrived before them: Larry, Monokuma, and Girlfriend and White Impostor, Izzy, and Monika, were having a chat.

https://youtu.be/AZFBfV0nXjU

Girlfriend: I know it's weird right? The temperature isn't as tropical as it seems...

Izzy: Then this is VR?!

Larry: Awesome! We can do some impossible stunts!

Monokuma: However, based on this killing game's existence, I doubt we can do any impossible stunts.

Larry: Aww...!

Alex: Hey, we're back!

Girlfriend: Awesome!

White Impostor: (disappointed) Less awesome...

Alex: Monika! Tell your "friend" that if she dares to bully someone, I'll cut- I mean... I'll punish 'em!

Girlfriend: (shocked) E-excuse me... What did I do?!

Alex: Not ya! I'm talkin' bout Natsu!

Girlfriend: Oh... (facepalm and relieved) That makes sense.

White Impostor: Hm... what did that bitch do now?

Alex: She bullied Woody when he appeared at the Candy Store.

Izzy: Already?! That was quick!

Monika: Huh?

Alex: I don't know what's her problem but if she dares to bully someone-

Monika: Then you should pay more attention.

Alex: Wah!?

Monika: I met Natsuki a few moments ago. She was upset. I asked what was wrong and she said: "That damn balsa is a freak! Never ever I have a conversation with him, again!" Then she went towards her hotel room. And I think I heard a door slam.

Alex: Eh?! Why's Woody a freak? He seems cool and collective!

Monika: I don't know, but Natsuki seemed really bothered by him. Maybe she's just not used to dealing with someone like him.

White Impostor: Or maybe something happened between them...

Larry: E-eh?!

White Impostor: I have a feeling that balsa boy isn't stuttering as he claims. I feel something... alarming.

Alex: Now that's crazy talk!

White Impostor: Is it? We don't know much about us at all. Anyone could hide their true personas. Who's to say who is the hidden psycho or a killer?

Monokuma: Puhuhuu! Aren't you just quoting what Monocrow said?

Alex: Darn it! If ya keep babblin' about some stuff that Monocrow said I'll punch on yar face!

Spongebob: A-Alex!

White Impostor: Ohohohohoo! A challenge you say? Interesting! Fascinating! I almost feel like my whole body is drooling.

Girlfriend: Ew.

Alex: Don't get confrontable! I have dealt all kinds of monsters before. I can deal with ya!

White Impostor: Well then. In that case-

Larry: GUYS STOP!!!

With that outburst, White Impostor and Alex froze and then turned at Larry who was freaking out of the situation.

Larry: What is going on? Why are you all acting like this?

Monika: Larry, calm down. It's okay. Alex, calm down. We're just having a conversation.

White Impostor: For a Koopa, you certainly aren't handling situations like this.

Larry: E-eh?

White Impostor: Based on your talks I assumed the Koopa Kingdom had its best warriors. But this one seems rather... shaky.

Larry was looking behind, feeling embarrassed.

Monokuma: So Larry was just sugarcoating it?

Monika: Larry might not be brave, but he still has a good mind. Don't try to disrespect a mind like that, White Impostor.

At that time, the rest of the groups have arrived.

Marge: I couldn't get a feeling that conversation here isn't wholesome. Is there a problem?

Spongebob: Just some minor disagreements. No need to worry, Marge.

Spongebob: (Did I lie again?! I'm on a streak!)

Uzi was looking at their expression. Spongebob eyes turned to her and then it met. He became nervous and unfocused. Uzi started to read his expression, suspiciously.

Uzi: Uh... huh.

Spongebob understood as Uzi clearly saw that Spongebob's claims weren't the case. He swallowed his own saliva with a big gulp. Alex came to Spongebob.

Alex: Good save.

Flowey appeared from the ground.

https://youtu.be/fz-Sstui9yc

Flowey: Regardless, since that pink girl refused to come here, we will start the discussion without her. Now then, info people.

Girlfriend: Well, we did find something about this island.

Handy: And that would be?

Girlfriend: This island may seem like it's in the tropical zone. But the temperature here is quite chill. It's almost like a spring feeling.

Skid: Maybe it's spring?

Larry: What?! But it was winter two days ago in my world!

Stewie: Well, the winter season does drop temperatures if you are in the Canary Islands.

Alex: So, what does that mean?

Monika: Hm... If we have some clue to show that it's winter season.

Spongebob: ...Wait! I have a newspaper that I snatched from Natsuki!

Alex: Aha! So you took it when Woody was around!

Woody: H-how did you do it? You weren't even near her.

Spongebob: It's Maaaagic~!

Spongebob took the newspaper and showed it to everyone.

Spongebob: Look at this!

Everybody looked at the newspaper.

Izzy: "3 goats have been stolen! The police are having a BAHAHA time looking for clues!"

Spongebob: Sorry, that's the wrong article. The top one!

Izzy: OH! (reads) "Breaking news! The mastermind has revealed his plan to the world! He plans to release a virus that will kill half the population! The virus will be released in three days! Authorities have been notified and are currently working on a cure. The mastermind has also threatened to release a new virus every day until his demands are met."

Papyrus: Excuse me?!

White Impostor: Oh my! It seems that we have a clue about The Mastermind!

Girlfriend: What does this mean?

Monika: Hm... Was this really a resort? Or was this a tiny village with a bridge to cross?

Marge: What? This looks more like a resort than a village.

Flowey: How old is the newspaper?

Spongebob: Hm... Let's see.

Spongebob: 4.5.2024?!

https://youtu.be/4Cm8p1Ywl6Y

Pump: Isn't it 1.2.2024?! How is it 3 months... later?

Papyrus: Yeah! It's impossible! This is a glitch in time!

Stewie: Someone did something to the timeline... And this is the result!

Flowey: Or maybe it's something else significant?

Marge: What else could it be?

Izzy: A memory loss?!

Handy: Nonsense! All of us lost memories of, how long could it be right now...? 9 months estimated? Yeah, that's likely.

Monokuma: Memory loss is likely.

Handy: Say what?

Monokuma: This is what happened to the first killing game. All of them besides Mastermind lost their memories and they all thought that they just got to school for the first time.

Woody: For REAL!?

Alex: That ain't pretty!

Handy: And how do we know you aren't making things up?

Monokuma: What? You call me a liar?

Handy: You're a robot! You might be evil!

Larry: Like GLADOS!

Handy: Yeah... like GLADOS...

Monokuma: Don't compare me to a puzzle queen! Besides I was forced to watch it!

Marge: Forced? What do you mean by that?

Monokuma: I was forced to watch it by the mysterious force that is time. It's not my fault if I can't remember everything.

Uzi: But why did it happen?

Monokuma: My creator made me and then tested me on what would happen if a robot watched the killing game. And the result was...

Monokuma: ...Wait... what was the result?

Handy: See? He's making up stories!

Woody: No... it might be true.

Handy: (turned at him) What ya said?

Woody: W-who was the creator of yours?

Monokuma: Oh! It was a girl name Monaca Towa!

Larry: And she forced you to watch the killing game?

Monokuma: That's right!

Handy: I still haven't heard your-

Marge: Certainly this lady was unreasonable to force a robot to watch a killing game. To think that a woman-

Monokuma: (interrupted) She was a kid back then.

Marge: What did you say?!

Flowey: A child commit-! (realized) Wait... I forgot about Chara...

Papyrus: Huh? Did you say something Flowery?

Flowey: ...! S'nothing, Papyrus.

Handy: Heh, you expect me to believe that a child is a psycho for robots?

White Impostor: I do!

Handy: (annoyed) And you jumped in...

White Impostor: Children can murder too! Some are capable of it!

Girlfriend: Isn't that awful though?

Woody: Yeah, it's pretty messed up.

Pump: So a child was a maniac? And how did you react to the killing game?

Monokuma: Uh... I don't remember. Like I said I can't remember everything.

Flowey: Jaiks! Sounds like Monocrow and Parallel Larry did something to your programming!

White Impostor: Heh... All part of the killing game.

Skid: But what happened to Monokuma after the game?

Monokuma: I don't remember. I was probably programmed to forget everything that happened after the game.

Monika: My, my! What a puzzle I must say. I'm stumped!

Spongebob: I'm stuck too... Can I use a hint coin?

Flowey: Stuck? Well, I wouldn't say that.

Izzy: What do you mean?

Flowey: Monokuma clearly was disposed of after the killing game ended. Say, when did this killing game happen?

Monokuma: Uh... it began in 2010.

Flowey: So 14 years have passed and now it's 2024. And now Monokuma is back online.

Girlfriend: Didn't Parallel Larry and Monocrow turn him on?

Flowey: Yes, PL mentioned that there were 18 participants before Monokuma arrived at the statue.

Monika: But why did Monokuma come back?

Monokuma: I don't know. Maybe someone wanted to test me again.

Papyrus: I have an awesome theory! Maybe this Monaca Towa person is the Mastermind in this game? That explains how Monokuma is here!

Stewie: Monaca Towa did program Monokuma, but would she be capable of creating a killing game on her own?

Girlfriend: It's possible. Since Stewie is an Ultimate Technician despite being an infant. Monaca was a child when she built Monokuma.

Marge: Why would she do that?

Handy: Who knows what psychos think? They are psychos.

Monika: But we can't just assume that Monaca Towa is the Mastermind. We need to find out more about her and her motives.

Stewie: That might be difficult. Considering that we have no info regarding this person.

Uzi: Maaaaaan!!

Alex: Can we change the subject?

Woody: I wanna talk about the virus-s-s.

Pump: Coronavirus?

Woody: N-no. I meant the virus-s-s that the news-s-spaper mentioned.

Alex: 'ight. That disturpin' info.

Papyrus: Mastermind created a virus. What else do we know about this?

White Impostor: The news sounded threatening. I wonder what else The Mastermind wanted from the villagers?

Spongebob: We should try to find out more about the virus and see if it has any connection to the killing game.

Girlfriend: There is still something that we need to address as well.

Skid: Like what?

https://youtu.be/YBV2Q-WxDOE

Girlfriend: The temperature here. Don't you all think it's a little cool in here?

Larry: Yeah. Cool as a cucumber.

Izzy: But we are on a tropical island!

Girlfriend: Yeah... what's up with this place?

Larry: Didn't we suggest that this was a VR?

Monika: It might be... or this is something else.

Uzi: Like what?

Monika: Have you ever heard of artifact islands?

Woody: No, I haven't. What are they?

Monika: They're human-made islands. People make them test it in a few situations. Like tsunamis, temperatures, and vacation needs.

Flowey: Oh yeah. I think I saw one from a movie. Jurassic Park, was it?

Skid: Oh yeah! That was a spooky movie!

Marge: And you watched it!?

Uzi: Is that the issue here? If artifact islands really exist here, then we have a new important clue here!

Uzi took her notepad.

Uzi: (write down) And I'm willing to fill this up.

Larry: What are you writing?

Uzi: Information and any other clues.

White Impostor: Ignore her. She is useless when she is with that notepad.

Uzi: (calmly) Bite me...

Girlfriend: Anyways... Any other clues we should know?

Papyrus: ...

Pump: ...

Stewie: ...

Izzy: I know that the kitchen gets fully stocked each day! Monocrow told me that!

Larry: Eh?! How?!

Flowey: Well, this is a killing game. They don't want us to starve.

Alex: Yeah. The rules mentioned that, didn't it?

Larry: Right...

Flowey: The locker rooms require your keycard. You need to use them in gender-based locker rooms.

Skid: Gender-based locker rooms?

Marge: Well, it is appropriate that no boy or girl go to the opposite gender locker rooms or bathrooms.

White Impostor: And what if there is a trans here?

Marge: Uh....

White Impostor: Oh my...! (smirking) Don't tell me you are transphobic, right?

Woody: U-uh... I think this-s is-s a convers-s-sation o-on later day.

Handy: Well as for the escape plan... that's out of the question for now.

Uzi: What do you mean?

Handy: I searched the whole island from the beach to the rocky beach and I found no boats or anything to escape.

Larry: Maybe we should try to find some other way to escape.

Girlfriend: Like what?

Larry: Maybe we could try to find a way to contact the outside world. Maybe there is a way to escape through the radio tower.

Stewie: I tried but someone has blocked the network. I cannot connect to the rest of the world.

Marge: How?

Stewie: There is a firewall that blocks access to the network. To get pass it, I need to hack through the firewall, but it requires time and precision.

Woody: That's-s-s gonna take... at leas-s-t 5 days-s.

Izzy: Stewie's an Ultimate Technician! He can master his way to the internet!

Stewie: Why thank you! But even so, some firewalls are more powerful and my hacking. So it might take longer than 5 days.

Skid: Weeks?! We can't stay here for weeks!

Uzi: We have to find a way to escape. We can't just sit here and wait for Stewie to hack into the network.

White Impostor: How exactly?

Uzi: I dunno! Do you think I have answers to everything!?

White Impostor: Oh so you can't answer my question?

Uzi: Well duuuuuh!

White Impostor: As expected. In the end, nothing can be changed from this killing game.

Izzy: FAAALSE! We can change the name of this killing game!

Flowey: And that would help us how...?

White Impostor: Based on every eventuality, someone ends up snapping like a twig and kills someone.

Skid: E-every eventuality?!

Marge: Great job, White Impostor. Now you scared the children!

Stewie: I'm not scared. Besides he is a serial killer so who cares?

Larry: I DO! Serial killers are scary...

Stewie: There is a lovely box on the corner. Hide in it.

Larry: Wait, will it work?

Stewie: Sure! Your IQ is the same as a single marshmallow anyway.

Larry: Jerkhole...

Stewie: I'm sorry, "jerkhole"? Is that supposed to be insulting?

Larry: Well, it's just a nickname for someone who is rude and inconsiderate.

Handy: So you have no sense of insult and just say random gibberish. Those people are wusses.

Woody: (remembers the past) Why do I feel s-s-slightly offended...?

Papyrus: Regardless of what anybody thinks, murder is a big no-no to this society!

White Impostor: And the fact that the killing game is here doesn't change that?

Papyrus: No, it doesn't. We need to find a way to escape before it's too late.

Uzi: Escaping from an island wouldn't be that easy. Without my gadgets, I can't get us out of here. Heck, I can't even send help!

Alex: I guess we're truly stuck in 'ere.

Handy: As expected. Nothing came from this meeting. I'm out.

Handy tried to leave but Flowey's vine tangled on Handy's leg

Flowey: And where do you think you're going?

Handy: *sigh* Do I need to tell every single time? I'm going to my room.

Flowey: Fine, but don't expect me to follow you. I have other things to do.

Handy: Like what?

Flowey: Like making sure you don't cause any trouble.

Handy: You're a worrywart. I'll be careful.

Flowey: Good. Just remember, I'm always watching.

Handy: (sarcasm) Thanks for the warning.

Handy left, dropping members to 16.

Marge: Well then, since he left, I guess we can disperse this meeting. Tomorrow we will have a new one.

Izzy: Okie okie! Time for a sugar rush! AHhahahhaaa!

Izzy speedrunned from the Restaurant, possibly going to the Candy Store.

[6927 words?! Damn! I'm on a roll here! Anyways the next part is Freetime events and the rest of Part 1 of this chapter. Decided to split it up since I never expected this part to the THAT long.]
