SpongeBob and Patrick go back in time to see Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy when they were younger, and end up changing present-day Bikini Bottom into a city Man Ray is ruler. They go back in a box they find somewhere, and while Patrick screams and they go back to the past. Then they find Squilliam putting a poster of Man Ray ruling. SpongeBob and Patrick freak out when they go to the Krusty Krab and find out that past Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are dead! And that present Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are working at the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob then convinces Mermaid Man to fight Man Ray, but he thinks Man Ray is the evil bubble. When SpongeBob and Patrick go back to the present, they find that past Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are there! along with another version on SpongeBob and Patrick with present Mermaid Man and Barnacle boy. Man Ray then shows up and tries to defeat all the other versions. Then a lot more Patricks, SpongeBon's and Mermaid man's and Barnacle Boys come. When another Man Ray comes in, the original Man Ray can't tell what's going on and tries to think, only to be handcuffed by the younger heroes. Then, more SpongeBobs and Patricks show up from their time machine boxes, as they wanted to revisit the day evil was defeated once again. Before you know it, a lot of time machine boxes show up everywhere, even outside the world!
