**Title: SpongeBob's Krabby Patty Showdown**

**Title: Hell's Kitchen Throwdown: SpongeBob Unleashed**

The Krusty Krab was unusually quiet, the fryers resting, the tables cleared. SpongeBob hummed, polishing his spatula, the kitchen’s comforting aromas and warm lights making the day feel blissfully normal. But outside, the ocean rippled with something foul—something wrong.

Squidward’s clarinet-playing screech split the silence, then abruptly ceased with a terrified yelp.

SpongeBob rushed out, spatula and shotgun at the ready. Smoke and demonic cackles twisted around the Krusty Krab’s neon sign. Four grotesque figures stood on the sand, towering over a whimpering, ink-stained Squidward.

Blitzo, teeth gleaming, aimed a demonic revolver at Squidward’s head. Millie, muscle tensed, lit a stick of TNT. Loona’s gaze glinted wolf-like, claws gleaming crimson. Moxxie fumbled with a comically oversized harpoon gun, muttering, “I told you, this guy ain’t worth a bullet…”

SpongeBob’s smile faltered. His eyes narrowed into an uncharacteristic glare. “You picked the wrong ocean. Leave my friends alone!”

Blitzo smirked. “Or what, cheese-puff?”

SpongeBob cocked the shotgun, the *cha-chink* rattling every jellyfish out of hiding. “Or I’ll show you why I’m employee of the month.”

He charged.

Blitzo fired. SpongeBob cartwheeled and blasted Blitzo in the gut—Krabby Patty shrapnel from a shell loaded with bun, lettuce, and hot steel. Entrails slithered onto the floor, eyes wild with cartoonish disbelief.

Millie howled and leapt. SpongeBob ducked beneath a table, skewered her with his sharpened spatula, and yanked upward. She split in two with a wet pop, viscera raining over the cash register, her tail twitching.

Loona lunged. SpongeBob pivoted, bringing the flat of his spatula down hard across her snout with meaty force. Jaw broken and fanged teeth spraying like crunchy confetti, she crashed into the soda machine. Cola and blood mixed in the viscous spray leaking from her ears.

Moxxie, the last, scrambled. Frantically, he fired the harpoon. SpongeBob’s spatula flicked it aside—a liquid arc of ketchup painting crustacean-red across the wall.

“I just wanted to kill Squidward!” Moxxie sobbed.

SpongeBob’s shotgun flashed, the spray vaporizing Moxxie’s head. Shells of scorched sesame rained down, the force splattering yellow sponge-flesh and demon brain across the linoleum. Silence fell.

SpongeBob stood over the carnage, spatula glistening, shotgun smoking, apron flecked red.

Squidward, trembling, peered out. “SpongeBob… did you—did you just…?”

SpongeBob looked back, his eyes clear, his innocence returned. “Anything for a friend, Squidward. Want a Krabby Patty?”

In the wake of shattered glass, torn flesh, and hellspawn gore, the Krusty Krab was safe again. And SpongeBob—once Bikin Bottom’s friendliest sponge—was now its most terrifying defender.
