Everyone heard a wailing siren and Ross telling all citizens to report to the town square. All the citizens gathered in front of Ross who was standing on a tall platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we only have until sundown tomorrow. But I will lead us through this crisis by setting meetings to encourage dialogue about drafting proposals for eventual action."

"So... we're doomed," Stephen summed up.

"I'm scared! We need someone to save us," a sardine said making weird hand gestures.

"We need to find whoever's to blame for all this," Stan Lee said.

"Does anyone have an actual plan to propose?" Ross asked.

"Ooh, ooh, I do!" Thor said raising his hand enthusiastically, "call on me! Me, me, me, me!"

"Yes, enthusiastic God of Thunder?"

"If we all close our eyes, maybe nothing will happen."

"So... deep!" Two sardines said before walking away excitedly.

"No, it's not! It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard," Stephen said.

"Hooray! Wait..."

"I've got it! We can find a way to halt the exponential increase of pyroclastic flow in the subterranean magma chamber," Nat said.

"Yeah, what she said! La-la-la-laaa!" (Y/N) paused for a second, "what did she say?"

(Y/N) chuckled, "science, Y'all. That's the answer!"

Time froze except for Loki and Mobius.

"I have a new scheme, Mobius, my best one yet. But, for it to work, I need them to stay scared," Loki told his husband.

"What are you talking about? The end is coming! This is no time for one of your schemes."

"Oh, yes, it is. What you said was true; it would take too long to hypnotize each of them into loving my Chum Burgers. But when fish are scared, they school together. If I can get them all in one place where there's nowhere to run, I can hypnotize them in bulk. First, though, I need to shut down that squirrel," Loki cleared his throat and unfroze time, "excuse me."

"Yes? Oh, speak up tiny citizen," Ross said.

Loki grumbled in anger while the people of Bikini Bottom chuckled, "do any of you actually believe that science can save us?" Everyone agreed among themselves, "oh, come on! Next, she'll tell us tidal warming is real."

"I've been studying Bikini Bottom for years now. If you just trust me-"

"Why should we trust you? You're not even from here."

"Yeah, you're a spy," Stan Lee said.

"Since when does that matter?" Nat asked Stan Lee

"Things are different now. Our town is under attack."

"You know what they say, folks: when the going gets tough..." Loki was going to continue but he was interrupted.

"The tough..." Fred twirled around and ended with a flourish, "...get going!"

Everyone applauded but Loki was having none of it, "no! The tough get lost."

Everyone looked at each other confused and Loki froze time again.

"I need to sell them on my plan, Mobius, but it won't be easy. I'm going to need to do it in song," Loki told him, "gimme some music, please, Mobius."

Mobius gave him a country beat

"No! That won't win over anyone."

Mobius tried another beat

"A for effort, but no. I need something with mass appeal. Give me a beat, Mobius... a hip-hop beat."

"Come on, Loki. You couldn't rap if your life depended on it."

"Oh yeah? Watch," Loki turned back to everyone else and unfroze time, 'this taskforce is for losers, I've got the perfect plan. Right now the getting's good, so let's get out while we can! Look, lava's pretty hot, let's give in to our fear, disaster's on its way- that means we can't spend no more time in here. You all know who I am; evil genius, giant brain. You can't stop a volcano I mean, are you all insane? The ones who stay will all be vaporized without a doubt; before that sucker blows, we've gotta get the fish out.'

The citizens cleared out of the way and four Loki dancers appeared.

'So let's go, and be gone! So let's go, and be gone! So leggo and be gone! So leggo and be gone! 'Cause when the goin' gets tough.'

'When the going gets tough.'

'That means it's time to get lost.'

'It's time to get lost.'

'When the going gets tough.'

'When the going gets tough.'

'That means it's time to get lost! So let's go and we gone, let's be gone!'

'Hold on, Loki, I am simply shocked,' (Y/N) said as Loki groaned, 'Bikini Bottom is our home, I can't believe you talk about just walking out; let's figure out a way to stay today, tomorrow; I feel sorrow, I feel fear, but I'm not leaving here! Who's with me!'

People raised their hands in agreement but Loki wasn't interested, 'oh, the simple girl is talking, fascinating, do go on; the fry cook has a plan; good luck with that 'cause I'll be gone; you don't just wait around when you're under attack, no! You-'

'Run like crazy-'

'Out the back, you got one day left, go home and pack! 'Cause when the going gets tough.'

'When the going gets tough.'

'That means it's time to get lost.'

'It's time to get lost.'

'When the going gets tough that means it's time to get lost! So let's go and we gone-'

'And we gone!' Everyone in Bikini Bottom sang.

"Of course, mass evacuation is no simple feat. We'll need to leave together in a vessel that can trap us all... I mean... fit us all," Loki corrected, "a giant escape pod!"

Mobius lifted a giant copy of their plan for all to see and took it to Ross who started browsing through it.

"This pod will take us far away to build a new home. We'll call it... Chumville!" Loki told everyone.

"Hold on, tiny dancer!" Everyone looked at Tony, "I wasn't hatched yesterday. This sounds like another one of your schemes."

Back to Loki, "at a time like this? How could you think such a thing?"

Back to Tony, "you've got something up your sleeve."

Last time to Loki, "I'm a one-celled organism. I don't even have sleeves."

Everyone went 'OOOH' at Loki's response while everyone cleared the area for Loki and the dancers to have a quick dance break. Everyone crowded around Loki as he started to rap

'Coming up as one of many, Mom and Dad had plenty of me, and 20/20 vision, never had it so I had to be a devastating, conversating luminous communicator, hoping later every hater of this little nerdy me would pay; you never heard of me? Okay, I'm a giant! I don't give it up, I live it up! I'm floating in the saline, running from the balene, celebrated single cell of ciliated cerebellic genius! Ha! Ha! Ha!' Loki rapped with ease.

'Cause when the going gets tough, that means it's time to get lost. When the going gets tough, that means it's time to get lost, so let's go, let's be gone, let's be gone, let's be gone, so let's go!'

The song ended with everyone posing around Loki.
