Yoshi3000: This is a fan based take on Rick and Morty who belong it's awesome creator. I own nothing but the plot, and Jerry's so sad even his voice actor hates him.
Rick: *urrp* Thank you, author. And screw that Figgis guy too.

Rick and Morty
Tales of the Rickspark
(A/N: Well, this fic is getting a sequel as well. Same rules apply, but this time it'll be a two-shot.)
Part 1: The Origin of Metsu
(A/N: This continues right after Steven Universe Blackthorned chapter 25, so do read it for context.)
C-137-AU2, the dimension of the first family to be Warpers. Beth and Summer were happy to be more involved, but they were going to be revealed to the dark side of warping.
"This amethyst is one of the Metsu Emeralds. This gem is capable of turning the most lowly of warpers into the most dangerous of beings. Basically, Chaos Emeralds but using warping energy instead. Collecting all seven could possibly allow the user to tap into an unholy power." The A.I. said.
They all saw it on the T.V. deciding to send the whole ending of Ryker's crossover with them. The T.V. had cut out earlier preventing them Summer and Beth from seeing that part earlier. Rick and Morty were too busy pissed over Jerry. When Rick fixed the glitch, they watched it and saw the whole thing. Rick were aptly terrified that he shook holding the shared bottle of vodka. He knew something was up. Summer had two and two together.
"So, these Metsu Emeralds are basically Chaos Emeralds but with warping energy and I assume more dangerous?" Summer said.
"Hit the nail on the *urrp* head. I can't believe Jerry had one and didn't realize what he could do with it." Rick said.
Beth was a Nintendo fangirl growing up and so asked her father for some explanation. Even Morty looked downcast.
Rick took a swig of the bottle.
"Look, the Metsu Emeralds have a dark history behind it. They were specifically created to be a counter play to 10th levels namely the Blackthorns. The Council…or better yet that bitch Rebecca Dill of the Elites wanted a way to put them under her thumb. The Frost clan aiding in murdering innocent warpers to use their energy to help Rebecca make those infernal things." Rick said before taking another swig. "Doesn't help if you gather all seven, you've have the multiverse at your mercy."
"And you've haven't made an effort to get them!" Summer said indignantly.
"No, Summer! And even if I did, it would put you in danger considering that Madara-looking wannabe Jōshō is after them. I'm staying the hell out of it." Rick stated.
"So, are they scattered across the multiverse or something?" Summer asked.
"Obviously, Summer. But the problem is that the public has no idea. Namely it's only a matter of time. Doesn't help that one of those warpers killed to make those things was Jōshō's mother in law. Either way, the only thing we can do is watch about it on TV. Knowing the universe will screw over the Madara lookalike either by his own mistakes or some other force." Rick said leaning. "And we can watch the fallout."
"Um, Rick? We're supposed to be going to the space ports to see Merch." Morty pointed out.
"Shit. Well, I guess Summer and Beth can come." Rick said. "Plus, my flask is empty."
Beth was ecstatic for an adventure and the family got into Rick's ship before it took off for space. As they did, an ominous image shows the Smith-Sanchez's television. On it was a radar for the Metsu Emeralds, showing four somewhere in the CN Cluster (along with it's outer areas), one on the move for the Cluster, and two somewhere in the Nick Cluster. And six of them are active.
(A/N: So, where are they? Who has them?! Well, for I can reveal one thing. Jōshō already obtained one as you know that Ryder has one. For the rest, I'll leave the horrifying thought of what person has them to stew in your heads.)
