Author's Note: So Dad's back in town as of last night, I think, and that means less dedicated writing time, although I do guarantee that next week's chapter will be published. Read, Review, Favorite and Enjoy!
Chapter 50: The Man Who is Worst than the Devil
Junior had his feet up in the Castle's library, nose deep into yet another book on Necromancy, waiting at his side was Minnie, who looked awful embarrassed about being found out about a certain little issue she was having.
"So thou art nay going to ask?" An embarrassed Minnie stated as she uncomfortably glanced at her brother.
"I think you've suffered enough as it is. And I have the feeling I'm going to find out within the next few months." Junior stated looking at his sister brow cocked.
"Aye." Minnie stated before she regardless took a deep breath. "The Mad Doctor thought that milk imbued with holy power would raise the stats of a halfa raised on it. That and the unique carbon imbued proteins within it."
"Really?" Junior put down his book and looked over to a corner of the room where Chi and Mimi were sleeping off a 'angel milk induced hangover' together on a set of couch cushions piled together. "That's not the effect that it had on those two. Least as far as I can tell." Junior began the process of wondering about what effect it would have on the yet to be born twins minds if they had to drink that stuff.
"Their power is demonic in nature, it comes from the body. Mine is holy in nature. It augments the power of the soul, where the power of the undead also resides." Minnie explained trying to take her mind off of the fact that she had been milked like a cow for kids that weren't even hers.
Junior nodded his head in understanding to this statement.
"Well, knowing Mom she'll probably go right back to drinking again soon as the twins are born, holy milk is probably better then second hand booze." Shrugging his shoulders Junior turned his attention back to his book.
"Do I even want to know?" Walker stated as he entered the library directing his attention to the pair cuddling on the floor.
"They got drunk off of Minnie's Breast milk." Junior stated shrugging his shoulders.
"I'm going to pretend I never heard that for the sake of my own sanity." Walked commented rubbing his temples together with his hands.
"You got something for us?" Junior asked putting his book down and sitting straight up. "Because I doubt you came over for a glass of milk."
"My associates were able to track down the last remnants of Him's Primordial Evil." Walker stated shrugging off the shiver at Junior's comment. "Part of the benefit of being Time Travelers is that we have plenty of time to prepare. As such they brought along the perfect amount of Primordial Evil to contain Him." Walker stated putting the Sapphires he took from his associates onto the table.
"Which I assume are where these came from?" Junior asked picking up and examining one of the sapphires.
"Correct. He put up quite the resistance so it took us several tries before he was completely contained. You can use them if you want to." Walker stated indicating the Sapphires with his hand.
"Having Him's vast telepathic powers would be a boon to us." Junior dropped the Sapphire on the table, seemingly dissatisfied with something.
"Is something the matter brother?" Minnie asked looking concerned.
"Him's voice chattering in my ear is not a boon to us, in fact it's just the opposite. I've got enough of those already." Junior got a minor headache on the same level as being smacked in the back of his head at his statement, the resident voice inside of his head voicing her displeasure.
"Mayhaps it would be wise to put them into some of thine demons? If Him's consciousness is truly capable of influencing thou then once their new found dis-loyalty became known..."
"Boom." Junior stated dropping the Sapphire on the table. "I'll get Charles to come by later and pick them up, and I'll have Scythe see if he can pick out a few... less than useful members of our horde. In the mean time there's another problem that I'm worried about."
"Mimi's okay." Walker assured gesturing to the sleeping devil in question. "Him's efforts to focus his efforts inside of his body and Mimi's own strong psychic power expunged his influence from her body. Yah know, aside from the obvious."
"Which now leads us to a new problem." Junior slipped the folder his mother gave him across the table, which Walker then picked up and examined.
"So you need to go to Earth again do you?" Walker asked letting out a deep sigh.
"Can you do it?" Junior asked looking at the Halfa Questioningly.
"It's not a matter of just chopping down a fence Junior, what happened on Earth left such a cataclysmic scar in their timeline that it's reshaped the entire Ghost Zone, and not in a good way. Green holes from colliding haunts in the Ghost Zone make the task of traveling through it that use to simply be difficult near impossible now, if not for the power of the infimap, even then actually going to earth is out of the question." Walker stated letting out a annoyed groan.
"Out of the question out of the question or just out of the question?" Junior asked cocking a suspicious brow at Walker.
"If it's the past then it's no problem. If it's the distant future we theorize that it might work, though we haven't been able to navigate that particular hurdle yet, but if it's the Earth in the here and now then the answer is still gonna be no." To Walker's statement Junior crossed his arms and legs as he went deep in thought.
"Do you have any operations running on Earth? In the past I mean?" Junior asked as he scratched his chin.
"Currently our main goal is trying to trick humanity into saving itself." Walker stated crossing his arms in dissatisfaction. "There was a company founded in the sixties called Vault Tec, meant to take advantage of the anxieties created from the cold war to make a huge cash grab off of mass producing vaults to house the population of America from nuclear war, as well as little rat cages for their often inhumane experiments. Our agents went back in time and took over the minds of key personnel, using pre-existing underground structures such as mines, sewers and subway stations the 122 vaults were multiplied a hundred times over, the experiments being performed inside were all changed to 'cryogenic preservation.' Terraforming and city building units called G.E.C.K's were installed in every vault for the dwellers within to use. Additionally gas throwers had been prepared to release large portions of F.E.V Gas to trigger..."
"Wait, wait..." Junior stated shaking his hands in the air. "F.E.V?"
"Force Evolution Virus." Walker stated rolling his eyes. "A crude super soldier formula invented in the sixties. Our agents used radiation to modify it into a gas that causes people to become, for all intents and purposes, walking stacks of super fertilizer. Anyone not in the vaults at the time of it's release, which was about ninety percent of America at the time, would be turned into the seeds a lush and fertile future."
"Dude. That's just cold." Junior stated shaking his head.
"One of the chief problems that led to the downfall of Earth was it's massive over population which led to massive over consumption of resources. We shrunk the population down, and injected steroids into the resources, and now those who were left behind stand a better chance of rebuilding the future of the planet. They were dead already, we didn't let ninety percent of the country's population die, we saved ten percent of it." Walker stated sounding a lot like he was trying to justify the actions of his peers.
"In theory. In reality you still haven't gotten word back from the future yet, so you don't know if you were right or not now do you?" Junior asked folding his hands together.
"No, we don't, we have another team sent back to the late sixties to prevent the Death of John F. Kennedy, we think that if he lives he'll create a greater push through the space race, which will yield greater resources for the Earth, and lessen the strain on the world as a whole." Walker stated his tone of voice implied that he lacked confidence in the venture he had just mentioned.
"But you doubt it'll succeed." Junior stated a look of suspicion on his features.
"This is one of the bigger points in history we're targeting, we're keeping our fingers held over the reset button just in case." Walker stated resting his head on his hand and his elbow on the table.
"My Dad use to portal his way between Earth and the Underworld like no one's business..." Junior started before Walker cut him off again.
"Power which relies on the Ghost Zone to be in a functioning state to work properly. It's not. You can go all over the Underworld all you want, but the human world is still off limits." Walker stated coldly, to which end Junior could only let out a frustrated groan. Just when their thoughts seemed to elude them, alarms all over the castle went off all at once. "What now?" Walker asked while Junior walked over and kicked Chi and Mimi awake.
"Uh Rick." A short, brown haired child in a yellow shirt asked as he nervously glanced around at the display cases inside of the vault. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Why wouldn't it be Morty?" A grey haired man in his sixties and dressed in a lab coat with a bit of bile and spit in the corner of his mouth asked in turn as he removed a display case and tossed the metal gauntlet inside into a large sack. "We pulled stunts like this a thousand times, break into big bad's castle, steal all their most important stuff, sell it on the intergalactic market, make big bucks."
"Yah well it's just... That's Captain America's shield over there." The young boy named Morty stated pointing at the disk shaped shield decorate with a white star.
"Ohh good call. We'll get a fortune for that from the nostalgia fans." Rick stated as he eagerly tore the display case off.
"That's not what I meant! That watch over there also looks like the Omnitrix." Morty stated pointing to another display case with a black watch with a green dial on it.
"The what?" Rick asked looking at where Morty was pointing.
"It's suppose to be the most powerful device in the universe in a show that I watch." Morty said nervously looking around the room.
"Really?" Cocking a interested brow Rick took out a white device with a green screen and scanned the case, the device beeping like mad in response. "Oh Jackpot!" Tearing off the case Rick grabbed the black watch inside and threw it into the sack with the other items he had stolen.
"Rick your missing the point here!" Morty screeched yanking on his hair.
"And what exactly is the point here?" Rick asked looking annoyed with his grandson.
"The Omnitrix never appeared with Captain America, which means that this is a crossover! We're in another fan fic! Do you even remember what happened the last time!?" Morty screeched in the middle of a full blown panic attack.
"Oh please what's the worst that can happen? I'm Rick C-137!" Rick stated holding up his ID badge as proof of his identity. "I'm a main character! They just can't kill me off!"
"Uh Rick, this says C-138." Morty noted a hint of fear creeping into his voice.
"What?" Rick immediately pulled back the ID badge and noted that indeed the number he mentioned and the number written were two separate things. "Oh this is very bad." Rick commented with a look of true horror on his features
. Letting out a small cough, Rick looked down and saw the black and green arm covered in his blood and holding his still beating heart in it's claws. Was the last thought that went through the mind of Rick Sanchez before his brain stopped working from lack of oxygen as his own heart was crushed in the hand of the black and green demon. Rick's body collapsed to reveal a small green portal, which then expanded to the size a adult and out stepped the owner of that arm, a equally pitch black demon with green claws.
"He's dead..." Morty commented in a shock induced state.
"FOOLISH MORTALS! YOU DARE TREAD INTO THE DOMAIN OF..."
"HE'S DEAD!" The child cheered raising both of his fists into the air before he ran over and kicked the corpse with his foot.
"Uh hello?" Junior was admittedly shocked, wondering when the panicked actions of a terrified human or a grandson who just witnessed the death of his beloved Grandfather would start kicking in. "Well... this is awkward." Junior commented as he grabbed both the corpse and the child and dragged them both away.
"Kid, I understand that you're having a moment here." Junior commented awkwardly as the child engaged in what could be summarized as a happy dance in front of him from within his cell. "But I have questions, and you are in a cage, so if you could kindly stop doing... all of that for a few minuets and answer some questions for me." The boy, having danced to the point of exhaustion, spun around and plopped down on the chair.
"Ask away." Morty stated gesturing to his captor.
"Who is this and why are you so happy that he's dead?" Junior asked holding up the corpse that he killed earlier.
"The Destroyer of Worlds, the Ruiner of lives, the man the Devil himself described as the Devil, my bastard grandfather Rick Sanchez, take your pick." Morty stated listing off titles on the ends of his fingertips.
"Doesn't sound like a nice guy." Junior commented dropping the corpse on the ground.
"'Doesn't sound like a nice guy' is a term used to describe Adolf Hitler, or Donald Trump, or Osama Bin Laden. This... this... is it alright to call him a monster? That won't offend you sir will it?" Junior nudged with his head for Morty to continue. "Right. This monster has wreaked untold havoc across the entire multiverse, stealing, plundering, burning and destroying everything in his path and when one world has died because of him he just packs up and heads off to a new world to ruin!" Morty snapped gesturing to the man on the floor who sounded less and less like someone who was worth sparing.
"Don't sound too pleasant of a individual, I will agree." Junior commented gesturing for a demon to drag the man away. "But we're getting off topic here a bit. How did you get into my Mom's vault?" Junior asked cocking a suspicious brow at Morty.
"There's a device inside of Ricks coat pocket." Gesturing the demon over with his finger Junior reached inside of the coat and pulled out a white ray gun type device and examined it for a few minuets. "That thing can take you anywhere, any when, in whatever Universe you so desire." Morty explained gesturing to the device in Juniors hands.
"Really? Our Earth has been cut off from us by some serious inter-dimensional turmoil, you saying that thing can take us there?" Junior asked looking at the device suspiciously.
"I'm from Earth, that thing brought us here didn't it?" Morty commented sounding infallible in his logic.
"Hmm." A deep grumble escaped from Junior's throat as he tapped his claws against the chair that he was sitting on. "Say I believe you. Do you know how to work this thing?" Junior asked looking at Morty suspiciously.
"Ask him." Morty stated gesturing to the corpse on the floor.
"You don't seem too upset that your only ride back home is dead." Junior commented picking up the soul of the man he had killed earlier on and holding it in his hands.
"Back Home? My home is a love potion monster fueled nightmare pit created in one of this guy's experiments!" Morty snapped gesturing to the corpse on the floor.
"Alright I get it now calm down..." But alas Junior's words were falling on deaf ears as a maddened flame ignited in the boy's eyes upon the sight of his grandfather.
"The place I was living in is a identical version of my universe, with a identical version of my house, with a identical version of my family living in it with with identical versions of myself and him buried in the backyard that Rick found after her burned the one I grew up in so that I can spend the rest of my life being haunted by their ghosts!" Morty snapped a insane look in his eyes completely ignoring Junior.
"Wow you really don't like this guy do yah?" Junior licked the soul he collected from the man earlier before he immediately recoiled and shivered in disgust. "Eugh! You really don't like him a lot! I'd throw this in the garbage if I didn't need it." Saying that Junior got back up and left going to convey the information he had just received to his associates.
"Ah Junior, good you brought a soul along." Walker stated sitting next to a large containment unit with a mass of Red banging against it's sides.
"What's this?" Junior asked looking at the contraption that Walker had brought into the library.
"It's Him, my associates just sent him to us." Walker stated prompting a look of confusion on Junior's face.
"Didn't you bring me his Sapphires earlier?" Junior asked a suspicious look on his face.
"Yes." Another Walker, sitting on a chair a short distance away replied prompting Junior to turn around and stare suspiciously at him.
"What are you two...?" Junior asked looking confused.
"In order to convert Him into Sapphires, we need a body, and a soul. Naturally, you are the go to man for both of these." The First Walker stated gesturing to the container.
"That and he needs to bring that little gadget back into the past so that we can integrate it with a GZPS and a transportation vehicle so that we can get to Earth without any problems." The second Walker stated shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh Primordials I hate Time Travel!" Junior cursed while looking above. "Here." Junior tossed the ray gun device at the first Walker. "This is the only soul I can think of that could actually be improved by being bonded to essence of Him!" Saying that, Junior ordered a blank demon body wheeled into the castle before he stuffed the soul of Rick Sanchez inside of it, then he shoved that body into the chamber where it bonded with the Primordial Evil.
"Hmm. Unexpectedly high amounts of Sin, where did you get this one?" Walker asked looking at Junior suspiciously.
"It fell into my lap." Junior stated in a ominous tone of voice. "Speaking of which we might need child psychologists soon, either that or a foster family that don't find humans to be exceptionally tasty."
"Don't wanna know." Walker commented as he added just the right amount of sin to the tank. Junior commanded the body to eat it's heart, and transported it outside where a black version of Him's heart eater form had appeared, Junior commanded the body to self destruct, which gave way to a number of bright blue sapphires.
