     10 PM: 3451 Anchor Way 
While Squidward brings SpongeBob and Patrick to their neighborhood to gather their belongings, Mr. Krabs is doing the same. He arrives to his home in search of his booty, and to assure that his daughter is safe at home.

But upon approaching the front door, he realizes that it's ajar. Someone could steal his money at any moment, or worse...

     10 PM: Patrick's Rock 
After Squidward saves Spongebob and Patrick from the clutches of the cloned Glove World staff, Squidward floors his boatmobile to their homes. When questioned, Squidward insists that the two head into their homes and grab whatever valuables they can find. Without pressing on any further, the three split into their homes.

Shortly after, Patrick climbs into his rock to seek out his beloved toys. It doesn't take long before he forgets what he was doing, deciding to let his imagination run wild within the confines of his box.

When questioned, Squidward insists that the two head into their homes and grab whatever valuables they can find. Without pressing on any further. the three split off into their homes.

Squidward enters his house to seek out his prized possessions. Little does he know that tonight marks the beginning of the annual migration season far and wide on the seafloor... Even for the most dangerous sea creatures.

     11 PM: Barg’N-Mart 
SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs go on a shopping spree, with mayo on their mind. If there's an invasion, they need to prepare! By now, most of the Jelliens have taken plenty of captives and created clones, who're shopping in the store. This invasion's more than they've bargained for!

     11 PM: Tentacle Acres 
While SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are out shopping for a surplus of mayo, Squidward takes it upon himself to use what's left at the Krusty Krab and bring it to Tentacle Acres. Despite disliking the dullness of the community, he can't sit and watch his own kind becomes mindless zombies. However, the mindless dolt he dragged along to help didn't make the situation much better.

     12 AM: Mrs. Puff's Boating School 
SpongeBob recalls that Mrs. Puff runs a night class on Tuesdays, and fears for the lives of her students. With Squidward getting dragged into this mess, the duo arrive the Jellien-infested school grounds. Will the hardened clone-criminal outsmart SpongeBob, or will he be able to save the students?

     1 AM: Goofy Goobers 
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward arrive to Goofy Goobers in hopes that the late-night janitors can provide them with a bounty of mayo. Unfortunately, they refuse to come out due to the Jelliens creating a pitstop for their cocoons.

However, the swarms are the least of their troubles...

     2 AM: Mermalair 
SpongeBob and Patrick want to enlist their favorite superheros in their battles against the Jellien scum. Without hesitation, Mr. Krabs chucks them into his boatmobile and speeds off toward Shady Shoals.

However, they'll be joining forces with the duo's second worst nemesis in order to rescue the old coots.

     3 AM: Industrial Park 
Just as SpongeBob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs are finished dealing with Mermaid Man's villains, Squidward issues a distress signal to help deal with a problem... a very planktonic problem that's grown out of proportion. Plankton was unable to secure himself in his lab, and was cloned as a result.

Feeling mischievous, the clone took it upon himself to give Plankton's scrapped Enlargatron Ray a test drive.

     3 AM: Krusty Krab 
Responding to the distress call, SpongeBob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs leave Squidward to keep the restaurant on lockdown until they return. An easygoing hour is cast aside in favor of a break-in attempt committed by an all-too-familiar fable. Manifested from Jellien goo, this thing is out for more than a fry cook job.

     5 AM: Larry's Gym 
An hour's worth of rest passes, and the gang's ready to take arms against the remaining clones. SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs travel to Larry's Gym with the intent to stop the Jelliens from becoming stronger. Feeling sore from the rampaging monster, Mr. Krabs insists that SpongeBob works out to ensure they can easily dump mayo on an overly hydrated Larry clone.

     6 AM: Jellyfish Fields 
Locating the unironic hive of activity for the Jelliens, Patrick unknowingly volunteers for what may be the most strenuous run for his life. Upon arriving, he discovers that SpongeBob's old, "Friend", has been converted into a mighty blue Jellien.

Becoming strong enough to dethrone King Jellyfish, Prince Jellien took the crown and now commands Jellien hordes to invade nearby towns. The only way to disperse the Jelliens are to hit them where it hurts: right in the shower pipe!

     7 AM: Goo Lagoon 
As daylight breaches the seafloor, and without a second-in-command, the Jelliens are in a state of panic. Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs are driving back to the Krusty Krab, satisfied from a recent clone wipeout. For once, everything is fine, and they have the upperhand against the invasion.

Really, there's nothing else to it. You made it this far, why not stretch out, grab a bag of peanuts, or some sort of snack?

     8 AM: Sandy's Treedome 
Without the Prince to command Jellien hordes to attack residents, the Jellien's influence decreases. The gang's taking this as an opportunity to locate the Overlord's nest, but they'll need all the help they can get.

While Squidward and Mr. Krabs visit a grieving Karen, SpongeBob and Patrick pay a visit to Sandy in hopes her technological prowess can save the day once again. Unfortunately for them, it's hibernating season...
