Hey Guys! I'm back and I'm here with Marcus.
Marcus: Hello!
And Welcome to Episode 2 of my OC Fanfic, But before you begin. Marcus has a few things he and I discussed while we were away. So take it away, Marcus!
Marcus: First off, there will be times that I'm not with Rick and Morty or the rest of the family since I'll be active on my Occupation as a Mercenary. So I won't be following the usual story route but I'll make a few short appearances when necessary.
That's actually true guys, Marcus will be focusing on his job as a Mercenary from time to time. But he'll occasionally help the family when he needs it or if he's in the mood to help.
Marcus: Second, just like Rick. I hate the Galactic Federation as well as the bureaucrats that run it since they think they have the authority on every planet in the entire universe, I disagree with that idea. So I get potential jobs that involve liberating several planets from Federation control or I cause mayhem that disrupts any further progress of their domination of the universe.
Yeah, He's like a thorn in their side. But he's a big ass thorn that stings a lot like hell.
Marcus: Lastly, Is a bit of a Spoiler. You see-
At-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta! I suggest you stop right there, Marcus! I prefer to surprise the readers rather than spoil them with any future content.
Marcus: Oh! Sorry, It must have come into my mind earlier. But apart from the last one. I think that's all I could discuss with you guys for now. and the rest will be at the end of the episode.
That's all we want to say, and enjoy the Episode!
Marcus: Crest doesn't own Rick and Morty. He only owns his OC!
Smith Residence (Marcus' POV)
I just returned from a job a few days ago and left my Interdimensional Room. After that, I started stretching my arms around for a bit and headed downstairs to grab a few snacks.
Along the way, I noticed Snuffles, The Family Dog, standing in front of me.
"Oh, Hey, Snuffles," I greeted, ruffling his head and gently rubbing underneath his chin, which Snuffles seems to enjoy as he wagged his tail,
After that, I straighten myself up and asked him, "You want a snack, Snuffles?"
Snuffle barks in response and I entered the kitchen with him following me. After I picked a few snacks for myself, I grabbed a few doggy treats as well and placed them in Snuffle's doggy bowl while Snuffles starts eating the treats.
With that done, I went to the living room and saw Jerry surfing through the channels and Summer was fixated on her phone. I sat down on the couch, munching on an energy bar.
Then Snuffle appears in the living room after finishing his treats and stares at Jerry with his tail wagging. The latter notices him while I kept my eyes on the two,
"Do you want to go outside? Outside?" Jerry asked, but Snuffles doesn't answer.
Jerry sighs at this, gets off from his recliner, and opens the sliding patio door while he points out as he turned towards Snuffles, "Outside?"
Snuffles didn't budge an inch and kept on staring at Jerry, which the latter sighed, and went back to his recliner. That's when disaster struck as Snuffles raises his leg and pees directly on the carpet,
"Are you kidding me?! Come on!" Jerry yells in anger,
"Oh my god," Summer said, while I rose from the couch and Morty comes running into the living room
"What's wrong?" Morty asked,
"Your idiot dog!" Jerry yelled, angrily pointing at Snuffles
Morty kneels next to Snuffles and hugs him close.
"Oh, he didn't mean it, Dad. Did you, Snuffles? You're a good boy," Morty said, petting Snuffles
"Don't praise him, Morty. He just peed on the carpet!" Jerry yelled, grabs onto the dog's head, and shoved it onto the spot where Snuffles' pee "Bad dog! Bad!"
I got angry at this and harshly slapped Jerry's hand off of Snuffles. Then I grabbed Snuffles from the floor and took him away from the stained area,
"You too?! Why are you defending a dog that just peed on the carpet?" Jerry outrageously expressed,
"Because what you are doing is setting a bad example, Jerry," I stated,
"Bad example?! I'm pretty sure he has already shown a bad example by peeing on the carpet" Jerry yelled as he gestured at the pee stain,
"That's because you abuse him rather than train yourself. For the record, I've been training him ever since he came home to this family," I stated as I put Snuffles down on the floor,
As for Morty and Summer, they were surprised by the tone of my voice as I continued, "Besides a family dog is also a family responsible, That means I have to take responsibility for him as well. Especially cleaning after his messes, and that's why I made this,"
I pulled out a remote from my pocket, pressed a button, and what comes to the living room was a small domed-shaped robot beeping in front of the family,
"What is that?" Jerry asked, pointing toward the robot
"It's a robot that cleans up any excrement on any surface it could reach, I made this just in case Snuffles were to pee on the floor or someone making a mess on the floor," I explained, then I turned to the robot, "You, Clean up Snuffles' accident,"
"Don't call it an accident!" Jerry yelled, but I ignored him as the robot beeped at my command and went toward the pee stain.
A few seconds later, The robot moved away from the spot and revealed a clean carpet.
"Wow," Morty mouthed,
"Cool" Summer expressed and pictured the robot with her phone.
"You see what I mean, Jerry?" I questioned, "It's not the pet that corrects the mistakes, it's the owners. And you are down the line of irresponsible owners,"
As the robot left the room, Rick walks into the room and avoids stepping onto the robot as he approached Morty.
"Come on, Morty. I need your help tonight," Rick said as he grabbed Morty's arm and started pulling him,
but Jerry intervenes by grabbing onto Morty's other arm, "Hey, wait, hold on a second, Rick. You wouldn't by any chance have some sort of crazy science thing you could whip up that might help make this dog a little smarter. would you?"
"I thought the whole point of having a dog was to feel superior, Jerry. If I were you, I wouldn't pull that thread," Rick stated,
"Yeah, Jerry. And if Snuffle gains intelligence, it will bite you in the ass for the things you've done against him," I stated with my arms crossed,
"What he said, Now come on, Morty," Rick inclined, and tries tugging Morty out of the living room once more,
but Jerry stops him again and pulls Morty back, "Listen, Rick, if you're gonna stay here rent-free and use my son for your stupid science, the least you could do is put a little bit of it to use for the family. You make that dog smart or... Morty's grounded,"
"Haha!" Summer laughed,
"Aw man," Morty said, slouching about it,
Rick lets go of Morty as he sighs in defeat "Boy, you really got me up against a wall this time, Jerry,"
Rick then went to his garage, started inventing something ludicrous, and then he comes back with a helmet.
"Alright, Ruffles..." Rick said, putting the helmet on Snuffles' head then turns to Morty and me "What's his name?"
"Snuffles," Morty and I corrected,
"Snuffles, shake," Rick ordered, and Snuffles shook his hand,
"Rollover," Rick ordered, and Snuffles rolled over the carpet,
"Go to the bathroom" Rick ordered, and Snuffle went to the bathroom a minute later, we heard a toilet flush and Snuffles comes back to the living room.
"Holy crap," Jerry expressed in awe,
"No way!" Summer added,
"Yeah, you're at the top of the game now, Jerry. Have fun, Come on, Morty," Rick said and pulled Morty away. But he stops for a moment as he turns to me "You wanna come with us, Marcus?"
I was about to say my answer to him. But the smartwatch I was wearing started ringing, pulled out a wireless earpiece from my pocket, and placed it into my right ear to answer the call, "Yeah? Uh-huh... Uh-huh... Okay,"
After I hung up the call, I pulled my earpiece away and turned to Rick, "Sorry, Rick. A friend of mine just called and he wants me to do a favor,"
"It's cool, J*burps*ust do what you gotta do," Rick insisted, and finally pulls Morty into his garage while I went to my room. Leaving Snuffles with Jerry and Summer.
Once I entered my room, I locked the door, went to my closet, pulled out the portal device, and jumped right into my Interdimensional room.
After that, I went to my desk and turned it on. With the usual greeting from the computer aside, she notifies the following, "You have one new message,"
I clicked on the message and a screen pops up with the following message
R: Hey Marcus,
Listen I've got another job for you.
An Informant of mine just called in and he said that a Galactic Federal Operative had been spotted somewhere in Sector A1F4 in the Alatheian System
Your job is to capture the Operative and bring him back alive in Glindoozes Space.
Once you've completed the mission, I'll pay you 500,000 Epsilans in full.
"Hm," I said, while I smirked and started typing on my computer
M: 500,000? Really? Raise it a bit.
R: ... Fine, 1,500,000 Epsilans. How does that sound?
M: That's a tad bit too about I do the job for 1,000,000 Epsilans and another 1,000,000 if I get your Operative in less than two hours?
R: You're always itching in for a challenge, Huh Marcus?
M: I am. If not, then where's the fun in that?
R: Alright, But I need to discuss the terms with my father first. You wouldn't mind waiting for a while?
M: Take your time...
As I waited for a response. I went out a bit and went to the kitchen for another quick snack.
But on my way there, I saw Snuffles creating something on the floor and the latter spotted me as he stared right at me. Especially when I glanced at his invention.
I sighed at this, walk towards Snuffles, and bend down to his level, "Are you building something for yourself, Snuffles?"
Snuffles nodded since he was still wearing the helmet and sat in front of him "In that case, I'll help you on out a bit,"
He seemed a bit confused at first, but he trusted me since I'd been taking care of him ever since he first came into the house.
A few minutes later, We've finished building the invention and it appeared that Snuffles wanted to create a universal transmitter with a claw attached to the back
"Alright, Snuffles. Shake," I ordered, holding out my hand to him and Snuffles used the claw to shake my hand,
"Good, Now speak," I ordered, and Snuffle said in the transmitter "Bark, Bark,"
"Okay, Now, Try speaking with the transmitter," I ordered, and Snuffle nodded,
"Do you understand Snuffles now?" Snuffle inquired,
"Affirmative, Guess the upgrades were a complete success," I said, giving Snuffles a few gentle rubs under his chin. Soon I heard my smartwatch beeping and took a quick look at it as I saw the notification on the screen. The following message was soon displayed for me.
R: My Father had agreed with your deal, Marcus.
M: Then we have ourselves an agreement.
R: Fantastic, Man. I'll send you the information on your target now
M: Sure thing. I'll see you in less than an hour.
Once I sent the message, I stood up from the ground and said "Well, It's been fun Snuffles. But I've got to go for a while,"
"Where are you going, Marcus?" Snuffle asked through the Transmitter,
"I'm going out for a favor from a friend of mine, Snuffles. But don't worry, I'll be back soon," I assured, and Snuffles gave a thumbs up with his mechanical hand,
I replied with a thumbs-up and left the kitchen afterward.
After that, I returned to my interdimensional room and gathered my gear for today's mission.
The armor, I'm wearing, consists of my modified power suit and a Bio Helmet. The weapons I'm carrying were a Railgun (Resident Evil Vendetta, But the Rifle is light and has two firing modes: Semi-Automatic, and Charged Shot), A Blaster Pistol (Blade Runner), along with a few ammunitions from Slugger rounds, Swarms Shots, Fragmentation Round, and Plasma Rounds (Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Handgrenades. Even though I've never played the game before I watched someone else's playthrough), and lastly, My Wrist Blades and Plasma Caster since I always bring them with me in my missions.
Once I'm fully equipped with everything I need, I went to a large teleporter pad and inputted the coordinates of the Sector.
After inputting the coordinates, I pressed a button and the teleporter pad starts powering up and closed my eyes to prevent myself from getting blinded after my teleportation. A few seconds later, My body disappears inside the teleporter and I was transported to another planet... But with a slight miscalculation of my coordinates.
As I teleported myself to Planet, I find myself on the outskirts of a desert planet. The temperature of the planet was about 80 degrees Fahrenheit and I was sweating inside my armor.
"Damn it... Why did it have to be a desert planet," I muttered and pressed the screen on my left gauntlet. I started swiping down in search of a function that cools down my body. when I found the function, I pressed it and my armor started cooling my body from the inside.
"There, much better," I expressed, then examined my initial surroundings,
There wasn't anything So I decided to search for a nearby settlement by using a high-frequency scanner in my suit. I waited for a few seconds and the scanner detected a small cantina just northeast of here.
"A Cantina, huh? I could use a drink or two..." I said, then I walked my way towards the cantina's location which was about 300 meters from here.
Timeskip
I reached the cantina with my breath being muffled by my helmet.
When I entered the doors of the cantina. Every alien present looks at me and senses a disturbing vibe from the sheer sound of my breath.
I approached the counter and sat down on a vacant chair. The alien bartender walks up to me and asks with his alien tongue,
"Just a glass of water or anything that hydrates my body," I muffled requested, which surprised the bartender as I understood his tongue,
but he casts this thought aside as he gets a bottle from his shelf, pours a glass of it, and passes to me. I took off my helmet and started drinking it.
"Thanks... I needed that," I thanked, and put down the empty glass on the counter "Another,"
The bartender pours my glass again and spoke once more with his alien tongue. Or rather, he asked a certain question as he poured.
"Well, I'm looking for someone... A Federal Operative," I revealed, and I felt a vibe that some of the aliens including the bartender began to feel suspicious of my motives.
I was about to grab my glass of water again, but the Alien Bartender grabs my arm, leans closer to me, and glared while he angrily asks with his alien tongue.
I stayed silent and clenched my free hand into a fist while the bartender gets impatience and asks again. But my reply for the bartender was a punch right into his face which causes the latter to hit the shelves and a few bottles shattered as they fell on the floor.
Soon, I heard several guns powering up from behind me, and I turned around to see every last customer aiming their guns toward me. The Alien Bartender gets up from the floor with his hand on his jaw and spoke a few threatening words at me. Among those words was something I didn't like to hear.
"I'm not one of the Federal Enforcers you're talking about, and I'm not with the Galactic Federation," I explained, turning back to the bartender, "Besides, I was one of those Galactic Scumbags... I would have wasted you all the moment walked in this cantina,"
The Alien Bartender and his patrons kept their eyes on me for a few long seconds. Soon, One by one, the patrons lowered their guns and sat down on their tables while they kept their sights on me in case I were to lie to them and start causing mayhem in the bar. The Bartender asks me again, but with a much more simple and more calm approach than last time.
"Since you've asked nicely this time. The Galactic Operative has been causing quite a stir on this system, A friend of mine has told me that this Operative is willing to do anything he can to convert this planet into Federal Jurisdiction," I explained, and the bartender growls at this information "But that's why I'm here. I was sent here to find the Operative and Capture him. Do you happen to have any information about the whereabouts of the Operative?"
The Bartender puts his hand under his chin in thought, then he gave a bit of information about a certain alien that knows the ins and outs of a capital city. I nodded at his information, stood up from the chair, and placed a bag on the counter "This is for the drinks, the damages, and the information. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd best be on my way,"
As I left the Cantina, The Bartender approaches the bag, opens it, and his eyes widen, and grabs a handful of coins from the bag. But not just any regular coins, They were another type of currency that's widely known to most systems in the known universe.
These were Eplisan Credits, A currency that was used by the Zeno Empire. A Government that defies the Galactic Federation.
Outside the Cantina
After the whole incident in the cantina, a pressed a few buttons on my left gauntlet and an antenna pops up from my back.
I grabbed the antenna, took a few steps away from the entrance of the cantina, placed the antenna on the ground, and went back to my original position.
The Antenna starts beeping several times, and after that, a large blue beam comes crashing down on the antenna and what appears in front of him was a large motorcycle (The Model of the Motorcycle is similar to the one from Tron, But the wheels are all-terrain and the teleportation is similar to the Protoss teleportation from Starcraft)
I mounted the bike, started the engine, and drove it to the high road. On my way to the Planet's capital.
It took at least 15 minutes to reach the borders of the main capital, but I keep my distance of 500 meters between me and the borders since I don't want to draw any attention to myself when I enter the capital.
But thanks to a tip from the Bartender, The other way inside the capital is through the sewer tunnels, much to my disgust.
I decided to switch suits since I don't want my power armor smelling like shit. I opened a compartment and revealed an Exo suit (Call of Duty: Black Ops III) and started removing the power armor and exchanged it with the Exo suit.
After I'd worn the Exo suit, I pressed another button on the motorcycle and it started beeping for a few short seconds until a large blue sphere appeared around the motorcycle and disappeared into thin air along with the Power suit I'd placed in the compartment.
I headed my way toward the sewage tunnel entrance, pulled the metal bars with my enhanced strength of the Exo suit, and entered the tunnel once the metal bars were out of the way.
I turned on my Thermal vision in my bio helmet and looked at my surroundings for any feral creatures that lurked inside the tunnel. A few moments of walking later, I stumbled upon a three-way path and looked at each tunnel. I examined each tunnel and was unsure of where the tunnel goes or where would it lead me, So I decided to use a certain strategy that sometimes works in these kinds of situations.
"*Points at the Left tunnel* Eeny *Points at the Middle tunnel* Meeny *Points at the Right tunnel* Miny *Points at the Left tunnel* Moe *Points at the Middle tunnel* Catch *Points at the Right tunnel* A tiger *Points at the Left tunnel* by his toe *Points at the Middle tunnel* If he hollers let him go *Points at the Right tunnel* Eeny *Points at the Left tunnel* Meeny *Points at the Middle tunnel* Miny *Points at the Right tunnel* There!" I finished and headed towards the left tunnel.
Sometime later...
After walking through the left tunnel. I find myself a bit lucky when I found a ladder that leads to the surface. I climbed the ladder until I reached a manhole, proceeded to pry it open, and took a peek outside.
It appeared that the manhole led me to an alleyway. I slowly exited the sewers and closed it after I'd gotten out of the manhole.
"*Huffs in relief* So glad that's over," I said, and looked at my surroundings. "Now where to?"
"Hey!" Someone called out and I turned around and saw a shady-looking alien approaching me "Did you come in through the tunnels?"
"I did, Why?" I asked,
"Well if you want to fit in this city *shows a few random things in his coat* You're gonna need something that could help you," He said, and I already recognized that the things he was holding were drugs and random garbage.
"Thanks, but no thanks. Besides, I already have everything in need right here." I stated, activating a function that made me invisible. Which caught the alien off guard,
"What the?! Where did you go?!" He said, trying to find me. But I appeared right behind a second later
"But I do have some questions for you, Arihan Xandr," I said, wrapping my arm around him
"H-How do you know my name?!" He cautiously asked,
"Let's just say... A certain bartender told me about you," I said,
Soon I demanded some information about the Federal Operative. At first, he thought that I was a part of the Galactic Federal Enforcement unit, which was rumored to convert several systems of other galaxies by force, But I convinced him that I wasn't a part of their group since I despise the Galactic Federation.
Once he trusted me, he decided to give me some information about the Operative that's in the sector. He said that the Operative will be present for a certain meeting in the mayor's office, that's about a few minutes from now.
The rest of the information he has involves personal indication of the Operative, Like the name of the Operative is Krisopt, he's a Gromflomite Officer, etc. After that, I was about to leave, But I face him for a moment and said to him, "Well, I've got to go now,"
"Wait!" Arihan called out, and I turned to him as he continued "That info isn't for free. You gotta pay up or else..."
Normally I would leave him and get on with my mission. But if I don't pay him, Then it'll be a problem later.
"Fine," I said, tossing a bag of credits to him "Here's your pay, So enjoy..."
Arihan checks the contents of the bag and finds out that the bag was filled with Espilan Credits. He was in disbelief and turns in the direction of where I was, but he stared at the empty alleyway.
"Zeno Empire," He muttered, Meanwhile I stayed hidden with the invisible cloaking device of my Exo suit and then left him alone in the alleyway.
Sometime later...
The info I got from Arihan was correct. As I spotted the Operative in a meeting with a few politicians, I decided to use my Bio Helmet to zoom in and locked onto my target.
"Found you..." I said with a smirk on my face and prepared myself for an appearance.
Private Hotel Room (3rd POV)
The Operative, Kristoph, finished his meeting with the politician about making the sector a part of Galactic Federal Jurisdiction. He enters a private room that was provided by some of his most trusted acquaintances and made a drink for himself.
"I love my job," He said, taking a sip from his drink and enjoying it...
But this celebration has been cut short when someone spoke up to him "How's the drink?"
Kristoph heard the voice and turned in the direction of the bed. There he saw a man wearing a helmet, an Exo suit, and a railgun strapped around his back, sitting on the mattress.
"Who... Wh... W... Ar... Y..." Kristoph couldn't muster any words in his mouth as he suddenly felt drowsy and falls flat on the floor.
Marcus' POV
Once the Operative was knocked out from the drink I drugged earlier. I stood up from the bed and went to him as I applied some handcuffs to his arms. Then I carried him on my left shoulder and planned to leave through the front door until...
"Hey, Kristoph. I wanted to-" One of the Alien Politicians suddenly entered the room and was speechless when he saw me carrying the Operative on my shoulder. I just stared at him for a minute, then jumped through a window without a moment's hesitation,
After my supposed escape, The alarm had rung off through the entire capital and Federal Gromflomites were now on high alert for my presence.
As I ran with the Operative in tow, A couple of Gromflomite Soldiers saw me and I activated what appears looks like an Energy Shield that protected me as the Gromflomites opened fire. But their captain gave a cease-fire since they wouldn't risk hurting the Operative if they kept on shooting at me.
I booked it to an alleyway while the Gromflomites kept on chasing me from behind. But as soon as I got near the exit of the alleyway, A few Gromflomites showed up, pointed their guns at me, and demanded that I release Kristoph from my capture. Instead of doing what they said, I activated a function in my Exo suit and jumped over the Gromflomites, and kept running to the street with them on my tail.
Soon I pass through a crowd and they saw me carrying a Galactic Federal Operative. I thought that they were gonna stop me or simply stare at me as Gromflomites chased me, but much to my surprise, They started cheering and charged towards the Gromflomites chasing me from behind. Some of the Gromflomites opened their wings and go airborne as they continue their chase while the rest tried to fly but were pulled down by the townspeople and beaten to death.
As for the airborne Gromflomites, The people below them started throwing several projectiles toward them while some of them were armed with guns and shot down.
I looked back and saw the rioting crowd fighting against Galactic Federal Guards and I was impressed by this sight
'Looks like they hated the Galactic Federation more than I do,' I remarked, then I hear someone whistling for me in some alleyway,
I turned to the direction of the calling and saw Arihan gesturing to come in his direction. I did just that and ran towards him.
Upon arrival, he opens a manhole and gestures his hand below, "In here,"
I jumped down into the sewer and Arihan proceeds to close the manhole after he joined me. He then descends from the ladder and turns at me, "Tell me something, Are you affiliated with the Zeno Empire?"
I raised an eyebrow in curiosity and I answered "Yeah, and what of it?"
Once Arihan knew about my connection with the Zeno Empire, he went to his knees and prostrate himself to me. Much to my surprise.
"What are you doing?" I asked, and Arihan raises his head to me,
"I'm sorry, It's just that I am happy to hear that you're connected with Zeno Empire. You see, some of the residents of this sector hated the Galactic Federation and wanted no part of their jurisdiction. But those damn bureaucrats were threatening our leaders with their massive army and used force to negotiate terms between our leaders and theirs. Some of us had hoped that the Zeno Empire would help us against Galactic Scumbags, but from what we've been hearing that the Empress of the Empire is currently in a battle with Galactic Federation on another system while some of the unoccupied systems were being seized by Galactic Federation," Arihan explained, while I listened to what he said. Especially when he mentioned the Empress fighting against the Federation.
"You mean to say that Diolra is fighting in another system? That means she has a lot on her plate," I remarked, and surprising Arihan even more.
"Y-You know the Empress?" He asked,
"Yeah, Her son is my client and it's the whole reason why I'm here carrying this scumbag," I stated,
"I-I see! But I may humbly ask you something?" Arihan requested,
"What is it you want?" I replied,
"I wish to help you by any means possible, If you like I could provide you with a guide that could lead you to the starport," Arihan offered, and seeing how he appreciates the Zeno Empire I decided to trust him for now,
"Alright, I'll let you help me with this. But if so much as trick me into believing you, I'll tear your head right out of your shoulders. Do I make myself clear?" I warned
"Y-Yes, I understand," Arihan nervously replied,
He guided me through the sewer system and told me that the sewer tunnels of the capital practically run through several key structures of the city. That makes it easy for Arihan to move around the capital in the shortest of time without getting detected by any law enforcement or any Galactic Federal Enforcers.
Along the way, he also told me about himself, Arihan Xandr once lived with a family in another sector and his kind lived peacefully through the years. But when the Galactic Federation came, most of his kind were killed when the Federation proclaimed that his kind was a threat to them and the rest were scattered across the universe. Arihan was one of the surviving few of his kind and he alone had been living in this sector after the destruction of his homeworld.
After the conversation, We've reached a manhole that leads just outside a spaceport. But before I went out there, I glanced at Arihan, "Is that the way out?"
"Yeah, That's it alright," Arihan assured,
I put the Operative down for a moment, climbed up to the manhole, and opened it to take a peek outside.
Arihan's words were true as the Spaceport was just a few meters away. I left opened the manhole and slide back down to turn to Arihan, "I appreciate the assistance. But I'm afraid this is where we must part ways,"
"No worries, I only wanted to help you after I found out that you're affiliated with the Zeno Empire. In addition to that, This one is on the house," Arihan said, and I nodded at him.
"Thanks, and I really mean it," I said as I offered a handshake to him,
Arihan returns the handshake, and smiled at me, "No go and make the Federation pay for the transgressions,"
I proceeded to take the Operative onto my shoulder once more and climbed out of the manhole while Arihan closes the manhole for me.
Afterward, I make my way to the Spaceport without getting detected by any kind of patrol within the sector.
I saw a few Gromflomites on patrol after they raised the alarm. But I let them pass as I hid in the shadows, once they were got I book it towards a large fence and used my Exo suit to boost my jump as I went over it. Once I was in, I noticed a few Gromflomites patrols in the spaceport since they know I might show up there.
I looked at the row of spaceships, picked one of them, and started dragging the unconscious Operative since I was getting tired of carrying him on my shoulder.
With a few close calls, I managed to get inside a spaceship, strapped the unconscious Operative onto a seat, and turned on the ship's engine. The Gromflomites were alerted of my presence when they heard an engine running. I pressed a few buttons, flipped a few switches, turned a few brakes, and I was ready to go.
The Gromflomites opened fire from below, but I was already airborne and flew out off-planet. But I was soon greeted with a Large Spacecruiser with the Galactic Federation Insgia and I cursed "God fucking damn it,"
I steered the ship the moment a squadron of spacecraft came straight at me. Once they were by my tail, they started firing their guns at me.
"Are shitting me with this?!" I yelled, and grabbed the ship's receiver, "Hey, Galactic Assholes! I have your precious operative as a hostage! If you destroy this ship, you're gonna kill him too!"
Unfortunately for me, Something stopped the ship from moving and the alarm went off, "What the hell?"
I tried putting the thrusters on full. But to no avail, I realized what was actually going on.
The ship was being pulled by a tractor beam, and if I don't do something about it. There's a likely chance that Gromflomites will board the ship and swarm in to rescue the Operative. But in order for them to rescue their Operative, they need to get rid of me first before anything else.
Normally, I'd let them try while I massacre every last one. But I'm practically in a hurry since I need to reach my destination before my two-hour bonus expires. I switched the controls to autopilot, stood up from the seat, and closed the breach doors to ensure no one gets inside the cockpit.
I pulled out a hemisphere disk from my pocket and attached it behind my back, creating a hologram-like shell around my body but not the weapons and armor. These things are called Holographic Space Suits (Guardian of the Galaxy). I activated the magnetic boots of the Exo suit, opens the cargo door, pulled out my Railgun, and started charging up as I aim at the space cruiser.
Meanwhile, In the Galactic space cruiser.
The Commander of the ship was ordering everyone on the bridge. Once they've rescued their Operative, they could arrest the man who captured him and interrogate him for information. But suddenly, one of his Gromflomite officers spoke to him and said "Commander! The Ship's Cargo Hold Door is opening in the vacuum of space,"
The Commander takes a good look at the man and saw a single man, crouching in the cargo hold, aiming what appears to be a large rifle toward them.
"He locked his sights on us," Another Glomflomite officer reported,
"Don't worry about it, He's just holding a small rifle. How bad could that be?" A Gromflomite officer commented while everyone present on the bridge agreed to his comment

Unknownst to the Gromflomites in the space cruiser, the railgun had finished charging and pulled the trigger. One shot had penetrated through the space cruiser hull and blew up when I supposedly caused the core reactor to explode. Killing everyone on board.
Afterward, I threw the overheating Railgun away, brought out my wrist blades, and plasma caster since I still need to get rid of the squadron of space fighters. I went out of the cargo hold and stood on top of the ship while I used my Bio helmet to lock on the Gromflomite Squadron.
I used my Plasma Caster to fire a few charges at the squadron and managed to destroy at least eight of them. As for the remaining four fighters, I used a magnetic grappling shot from my right wrist blade(Just Cause) and hopped onto the nearest fighter.
The pilot was surprised when he saw me. But I simply waved at him, punched the glass, and sent the pilot flying in the vacuum of space.
Soon I took over the controls of the fighter and started mowing down the rest of the squadron.
Once the last fighter ship was gone, I went back to my original ship, threw a bomb on the unmanned fighter ship, and closed the cargo door while I took off my Holographic space suit and breath in some for a moment.
Then I returned to the cockpit, sat down on the control panel, and started inputting the coordinates of my next destination. But just my luck, The Operative next to me started regaining his consciousness and shakes his head several times to ease his dizziness.
"Wh... What the... Where am I? and Who are you?" He asked, and just as I finished inputting the coordinates and switched on the hyperdrive,
"Who I am is none of your concern. What you should be concerned about is your permanent trip to Emeros, The Capital Planet of the Zeno Empire" I stated,
"What?!" He exclaimed, and the ship went into a hyperdrive to my next destination.
Along the way, I had to knock the Operative out cold and tied him up afterward.
Glindoozian Space, Emeros
I arrived in Glindoozian Space and the moment I got there. I received a transmission from the surface planet of Emeros.
"Unknown Vessel, You're entering Glindoozian Space. Identify yourself," I pushed a button and told them "My name is Marcus Smith C-137, I'm a mercenary that was hired by the young prince 'Ragnarous Vex Andrel'"
"Identified, you are cleared to land," With the verifications complete, I entered the planet, and landed the ship near the entrance of the Capital City of the Glindoozian race.
As I escorted the captured operative outside the ship. I was approached by a Gromflomite along with two Glindooze guards wearing their standard armor (Death Trooper Armor, But the color of the suit is Sapphire Blue. drakin6345's armor of choice for Zeno Empire's Soldiers) beside him.
The Gromflomite was wearing custom-made armor, a laser spear strapped around his back (Avengers: Chitauri Staff Rifle), and lastly was the insignia of the Zeno Empire patched to his uniform.
"So nice to see you, Marcus," The Gromflomite greeted, and I nodded in response,
"Likewise, Dezar. Speaking of which, where's..." I glanced around,
"He's currently in a meeting with his father. So he sent me ahead to retrieve the Operative," The Gromflomite, now known as Dezar, said
I pushed the Operative towards them and the Glindoozian Soldiers took him away while Dezar approached me with a card.
"Your payment will be transferred through your account, My friend," Dezar said,
"Good, Then I'll be going home now, and one last thing," I give an 'okay' gesture to Dezar without batting an eye at him, "Tell the young prince, I said hi,"
After that, I pushed a few buttons on my left gauntlet and teleported myself off the planet and back into my dimensional room.
"*huffs out* What a long day," I remarked, removing my equipment, and going back to my usual attire.
I checked my intergalactic bank account and saw a notification that I've received two million Epsilans along with the following message.
R: Pleasure doing business with you
M: Anytime...
As soon as I turned off the computer, I left my interdimensional room and returned to my regular room. I looked at the time and saw that it was 10 pm.
I walked out of my door and headed downstairs. But I stopped as soon as I heard a conversation from the living room. I took a peek from the other side of a wall and saw Beth, Summer, and Jerry cramped inside a cage while Snuffles and a few other dogs wearing mech suits were developing more weapons, mech suits, and helmets.
"Snuffles, We didn't mean you any harm! This is a huge misunderstanding," Jerry said, with his hands by the bars
"Dad, He wants to be called Snowball," Summer specified,
"Well, I'm not calling him that. That's ridiculous," Jerry rudely denied while I mentally facepalm myself with Jerry's stupidity.
"You're being very aggressive, Jerry. Perhaps tomorrow Dr. Scraps will solve that problem with a bit of surgery," Snuffles stated, with a Chihuahua wearing a doctor-like mech suit by his side and holding up a pair of scissors.
"Huh? You think you can control me with a haircut?" Jerry asked, a rude tone in his voice.
"That's not what he meant, Jerry." I said as I entered the living room "He's planning on fixing you just as you did with Snowball,"
"Marcus!" They called out, and the dogs wearing mech suits tried to approach me. But Snowball holds out his hand and said, "Halt!"
"Oh thank god, Get us out of here!" Beth asked as I approached them
"Mom, As much as I would love to do that... But I can't," I rejected,
"What?! Why?!" Jerry angrily asked,
"Because I have two reasons for it. One, Snowball and his friends would try to pin me down and put me inside that cage, and Two, is because of you, Jerry," I stated,
"Are you kidding me?! Why did I do wrong?" Jerry asked, and I rubbed my eyes in frustration over Jerry's stupidity
"Oh for the love of... It's because of what you did to Snuffles back then. You scold him for no reason, abused him when he makes small mistakes, and you even fixed him even though he wasn't aggressive in the past several months. Hell, I specifically recalled you asking Rick to make a helmet that makes Snowball smart just because he peed on the carpet," I explained, which made Beth and Summer glare at Jerry.
"If you treated Snowball more nicely than last time, Then none of this would have ever happened. But I guess there's no going back to that, Jerry," I stated, and Jerry felt, for once, guilty for what he did to Snuffles.
Meanwhile, The latter approached me and placed his mechanical hand on my shoulder,
"You have always been there for me, Marcus. That's why I will not only leave you with your testicles, But you will stay by my side as we make preparations for taking over the other humans," Snuffles said, patting my shoulder a few times,
"Thanks, Snowball. and I got to say, You designing your own mech suit without my help? I'm impressed with your development," I applauded, and Snuffles somewhat chuckled through his transmitter and several other dogs joined in as well.
"Please, Marcus, you may call me Snuffles and make yourself comfortable," Snuffles inclined, as he leads me to the couch,
From there, I would watch as the other dogs continued their work on assembling more mech suits for dogs.
A Few Hours Later...
Snuffles decided to give Beth, Summer, and Jerry some fresh air but he ordered one of his friends to chain them outside while Snuffles declared me an exception to their hostile takeover. I soon went to the kitchen, grabbed a glass of water, and went back to the living room.
I glanced out of the patio door and saw Rick and Morty by the bushes. The former then free Beth, Summer, and Jerry from their collars and all of them were having a conversation. Soon I saw Jerry marching his way toward the house.
"What is that idiot doing now?" I muttered, then I heard a patio door opening and went to the living room to have the dogs' attention towards a confident Jerry.
"Gentlemen, A moment of your time," Jerry said, and the dogs turned to him. He then pulled down his fly and peed on the dog's weapons crates, "See that? I peed all over your special guns! That means I own them,"
'He's so gonna get it this time,' I remarked,
Jerry then pulled down his pants and tried to take a dump on the carpet. But Snuffles approached him and shoved Jerry's face against his pee stain.
"Bad person, Bad," Snuffles scolded, while I shook my head at this sight 'Called it,'
"Ooh, Great plan, Jerry," Rick sarcastically remarked, then he turns to me, "Hey Marcus, How come you're not in chains?"
"Because I'm not stupid and abusive to Snuffles like Jerry," I replied as drank a glass of water.
"Bring the boy to me," Snuffles ordered to one of his companions while he continued shoving Jerry's face onto his own urine
The dog then went to Morty and escorted him to Snuffles. Who sat down on Jerry's recliner, while I stood beside Snuffles with hands inside my pockets.
"You were always kind to me, Morty. That's why I will leave you with your testicles. From now on, you will live by my side," Snuffles said, gesturing at a small bean chair next to him,
"T-Thanks, Snuffles," Morty nervously thanked, goes up to the bean chair, and sat down while Snuffle pets him on the head
"Begin phase two!" Snuffles declared,
A Few Hours Later...
"Fighting continues as the dog army captures the eastern seaboard. It appears clear at this time that the end of the human era has come to a bitter end," A news anchor reported. But in the middle of her report, two dogs burst into the news studio. Which caused the news anchor to scream in fright "Please! Please don't kill-"
A Doberman went behind the news anchor and placed a muzzle on her mouth, silencing her pleas.
"What she's saying, Bill?" The bulldog asked,
"I think she's saying I love lasagna," The Doberman answered,
A Few Minutes Later...
Rick was currently hiding in the bushes with a baseball bat in hand. He then pops out when the coast was clear...
"I knew I'd find you here," Rick spun around and was about to hit someone with the bat. But he stopped when that certain someone was me, standing in front of him with my hands in my pocket,
"Marcus? What are you doing here? How are you even here in a dream?" Rick asked,
"It's simple, I invented my own Dream Inceptor then used it to get myself into Snuffles dreams in hopes of finding you or Morty," I explained,
"Are you here to stop me or something?" Rick asked, tightening his grip on the bat
"Quite the opposite, Rick. I want to help you, Besides I may like the idea of having the dogs take over the earth. But that it'll be a problem in the future if nothing is done about it," I said, which Rick a little as he loosens his grip on his bat.
"Alright, you can come with me. But if you go against me, I have no problem knocking your ass out," Rick said,
"Noted," I noted,
Both Rick and I went into the palace and searched for Morty. We soon found him lying on a large dog bed with two naked women beside him. Then a dog wearing a butler suit approached Morty with a tray of food and a large drink to him.
"Thanks, Fido," Morty thanked as he sat up from his bed.
Rick sneaks up from Fido and knocks him out with the baseball bat while I popped out from the bushes and went to Rick's side.
"Rick! I thought you were dead!" Morty exclaimed in surprised
"No, no, no, no, I was just playing dead," Rick said, throwing the bat away and approaching him "Good news, though, Morty. This whole thing's gonna be over really soon,"
"What?" Morty asked in confusion,
"Morty, we're inside Snuffles' Dream," I said,
"He's right, Morty. The night the dogs captured us after you cried and crapped your pants, We all went to sleep. Then I used my dream inceptors to put the two of us inside Snuffles' dream," Rick explained, "As for Marcus, He made his dream inceptor and followed me here,"
"B-But's been like a whole year!" Morty said,
"Actually, It's been six hours," Rick said,
"Dreams move one of one hundredth the speed of reality, Morty, and Dogs time is a one-seventh hundredth. Every day is like a minute here," I explained,
"Yeah, it's like 'Inception' Morty, so if it's so confusing and stupid, then so is everyone's favorite movie," Rick remarked,
"Aw, man. I really liked this life," Morty said, as the two girls clung to him "Well at least I didn't crap my pants,"
"Well, Morty... The thing is..." I trailed off from the details,
"That actually happened before you went to sleep, Morty. You're still sleeping in your crap right now," Rick said, causing the two girls to cringe in disgust and move away from Morty's side. I, too, cringed in disgust and felt the urge to puke as Rick continued saying "Out of all things that happened to you, that was the only real thing that, you know, is that you crapped your pants. I mean, it's a mess out there. I got some on my hands, Morty, and then I got it on the dream inceptor, and a piece fell in my mouth,"
"Okay! Okay! Rick! Just fucking stop already! You're gonna make me puke physically and mentally," I yelled, fighting the urge to puke. I was so lucky that I used the Dream Inceptor in the comfort of my bedroom.
"Aw, man, geez, Seriously?" Morty whined,
"Look, d-d-d-don't worry about it, Morty," Rick said, then hands him a handful of pills "Here, here take these, Morty, Take these,"
Morty took the pills and swallowed several of them.
"Are these pills supposed to wake me up, or something?" Morty asked,
"Close *pinching his fingers*... It's gonna make your kidneys shut down," Rick specified,
"What?!" Morty exclaimed,
"The hell, Rick?!" I yelled,
"Don't worry, it's necessary for the plan," Rick said, then rubbed the side of Morty's head "Don't even trip, dawg,"
"If he dies, I going to kill you, Rick," I warned
Main hall
Morty is now seen lying down on a hospital bed, hooked up to life support, IV fluids, and, an oxygen tank. Meanwhile, Rick poorly disguised himself as a dog in a mech suit while I stood next to Morty and I stared at him.
"It's pretty bad, Emperor Snowball. We're gonna need to do another operation," Rick elaborated
"Anything. Anything for my precious Morty," Snuffles said,
"Sir, as your accountant, I must advise you that these medical expenses are putting you in serious financial jeopardy. You could lose your entire kingdom," Snuffle's accountant stated as he held the clipboard,
"To hell with my kingdom, Bean Counter!" Snuffles yelled, slapping away the clipboard then holding Morty onto his arm, "I would trade it all for my human's health and happiness,"
"Do you think they would have done this for us?" Snuffles' accountant asked,
"We are not them!" Snuffles yelled, then he gets a sudden realization of what he had just said "We are not... Them..."
Back in Reality
Snuffles wakes up followed by a started bark and gasped as he gets on his mech suit and stands from the bed,
"Assemble the troops, I've made a decision," Snuffles ordered,
The Following Morning
Everyone was now outside and was standing in front of an animal shelter. Where the dogs reside and enter a portal.
"Taking the human's world will lead to nothing but more heartbreak, more cruelty. Instead, we will go to another world and colonize it with a society of intelligent dogs, one that will not make the same mistakes as humans and one where pet insurance will be mandatory," Snuffles explained
"I'm gonna miss you, Snowball," Morty said as he walk up to him
"Yeah, Me too," I said,
"You can call me Snuffles, you two, and I'm going to miss you both very much," Snuffles said, bringing us into a hug. As he pulled away, Snuffles licked on our foreheads.
"Oh wait, Snuffles!" I said, pulling out a remote for the robot I made, picked up the robot, and placed the remote on top of it as I handed it to Snuffles "Here, A parting gift from me to you,"
"Thank you, Marcus," Snuffles said, taking the robot from my hands and going into the portal as it closes behind him
"Jerry?" Beth called out when she saw him crying
"I'm sorry, It's just like the end of 'Old Yeller'" Jerry said, wiping off the tears from his eyes.
"Oh, Jerry," Beth said, as she wrapped him into a hu,g "You mean because it had dogs in it,"
"Yeah, Except Morty, and I didn't shoot Snuffles," I offhandedly said, "I'm going home,"
Bonus Scene! (3rd POV)
After Snuffles had reached an inhabitant planet. He looks down at the robot, Marcus gave him.
He puts it down, and suddenly the robot starts being as it reveals a small opening on top of the robot.
Then suddenly, A hologram of Marcus Smith shows up in front of Snuffles.
"Hey Snuffles, Marcus here, and if you hear this recorded message. It means you've left Earth, But I just want to tell you that if you ever need help for something that endangers you or your people. Press the button with a distress call symbol on the remote and I promise that I will help you by any means possible. We may be worlds apart from now on, But you're still family and I will be there for you when you need me, That is all..."
As the recorded message had finished, Snuffles smiled and picked up the robot once more.
"Thank you, Marcus... You truly are one of my greatest friends among the humans," Snuffles said, as he and the other dogs commence the colonization of their new society.
Finished the second episode of the Story guys!
Marcus: Nice work, Crest.
Thank you, Marcus,
Marcus: and the next episode is the Parody version of Jurassic Park!
You mean Anatomy Park, Right?
Marcus: Yeah! and I can't wait to see the rides myself.
Hold your horses, man. I'll get onto that soon. But before I go, I want to say a special thanks for drakin6345. For submitting his idea of creating the Zeno Empire for this series. Thanks, man, and I promise that your Royal OC Characters will make an appearance in a future chapter!
Marcus: Yeah, man! We thank you for your great idea for this story.
And not only that, it's time to reply to a review of this story.
Guest: Will do m8, glad I could contribute to future chapters, nice job getting across Marcus' casualness and intellect, although I'm surprised he didn't try anything on frank when he was frozen, even just a marker could be led to a nice pun in the gentlemen's area about ice pricks. Digg'n the secret bunker and predator choices, although it recommends more of a predator face mask over the helmet for a human. Hopefully, Marcus' existence changes some outcomes of later episodes, but this was the first episode which is kind of hard to alter in any sense of the word. Other than that everything was top quality. Also, random thing, am I the only one confused on why the Gromflomites were obsessed with getting Rick portal technology when they have control over interdimensional customs? Because they tried prying the info out of his brain in ep 1 season 3 but had interdimensional customs in season 1 ep 1. Maybe the writer just forgot, anyway looking forward to the next chapter m8, hope it's soon!
Thanks for the support, and we appreciate the help from you.
Marcus: And we hope that we'll hear more of your ideas or suggestions from you soon!
That's all for now, and we'll see you in the next chapter!
Marcus: See you guys really soon! *Leaves*
