3. Chapter II

Chapter II: Leaving Nantucket Island

Regular Morty had continued to take notes as the story progressed. He noticed how Ishmael Morty and the Chud King had became the best of friends. He learned about the Chud King's heritage on the uncharted island of Rokovoko, how he had been misunderstood as a cannibal, and how he came to Western Society to see the world. Regular Morty had watched as Ishmael Morty and the Chud King had traveled from New Bedford to Nantucket Island to go looking for a ship to join and go whaling. As they did, they found the Pequod, Captain Sanchez's ship. They signed up and were ready to go whaling. The next day, all of the familiar faces of Rick and Morty were at the church where all the whalers prayed. Bird-Person was in-place of the Pope. He went into the old boat-head in the nave of the church, and read The Book of Jonah to everyone.

Then came a cold Christmas Day. After a Christmas party held by the crew members joining Captain Sanchez's whaling expedition, everyone began to load the Pequod. Jessica was handing out Bibles to everyone boarding the ship. Before Ishmael Morty boarded the ship, Summer Smith, in the place of Elijah, and old soothsayer in this timeline, heeded him a warning.

Summer: Head my warning. Sanchez's whale hunt will end in vain. He will go under, and rise again, dead. And all but one, will suffer the same fate.

Regular Rick and Morty snuck on the ship, and watched as they left Nantucket Island. Regular Morty started to take notes of all the familiar characters, filling in the characters from the book. First up was Star-Wong, Dr. Wong in the place of Starbuck, the ships first-mate. Then came Gearhead, in the place of Flask, a harpooner who bullied anyone bigger than himself. Then came Mr. Poopybutthole, in place of Pip, the little cabin-boy from Alabama. Then came Mr. Meeseeks, in the place of the ship's blacksmith/carpenter/dentist/tattoo artist. Then came Jerry, in place of Stubb, a careless man, who enjoyed whaling for fun. Finally, there was Mr. President, in the place of Daggoo, a man from Africa who gained his courage from killing a lion, single-handedly.
