Once he suceeded, he converts his ship into a food truck to sell Krabby Patties at a beach community named Salty Shoals. In doing so, Burger-Beard alas led the Bikini Bottom into post-apocalyptic state, forcing Plankton and Spongebob to form an uneasy alliance to solve the mystery. He knew that his actions would bring the destruction of protagonists' town, but he didn't care.

First Confrontation and Banishing SpongeBob and His Allies
When the heroes arrive on his food truck, he busily cooked the Krabby Patty. The angered Mr. Krabs then demand the explanation in how he stole the formula and build such business. Confused with their presence, he checked his magic book, and said that the book never told this. Knowing that SpongeBob and his friends would take back the recipe, he demonstrated his reality-warping power by writing the magic book where it said that SpongeBob and his friends would be teleported away to Pelican Island. Much to their horror, SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward teleports away, and materialized on the said island, which is simply a rock full of pelican colony.

Final Battle and Defeat
Using Squidward's ink and one of the ripped pages, SpongeBob and the others transform themselves into superheroes with special powers - SpongeBob becomes The Invincibubble, Patrick becomes Mr. Superawesomeness, Squidward becomes Sour Note, Sandy becomes The Rodent and Mr. Krabs becomes Sir Pinch-a-Lot. They return and encounter Burger-Beard, who drives off with the formula, forcing the team to give chase. During the ensuing battle, the book gets destroyed. The team attempts to apprehend Burger-Beard, who picks the team off one by one.

Plankton, who'd been left on Pelican Island, after hiding in SpongeBob's sock and hoping out, becomes a muscle-bound hero named Plank-Ton and comes to assist them. After retrieving the formula, Plank-Ton/Plankton and Invincibubble/Spongebob work together to create one final attack that sends Burger-Beard all the way to Bikini Atoll.

Trivia

 * Though Plankton is the Big Bad in the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise and Krabs is more of evil than Plankton throughout the whole sequel movie, Burger-Beard turns out to be the true main villain in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water because he had bigger plans than Plankton and Krabs.
 * In addition, though being comedic, Burger-Beard proved himself to be a more dangerous adversary that SpongeBob and his friends compared to Plankton himself in the first movie. This was due to his capabilities in reality-warping via a magic book, and it took the whole protagonists in their superpowered state to defeat him all at once.
