Summer, Morty and Rick popped out. "Summer, next time we're hiding in a colorkian echo nest, can you do me a favor and turn your ringer off?

Summer retorted. "it's called "carpe diem", Morty. Look it up."

Morty answered, offended. "you look it up! Y-y-you don't even-you don't even know what it means!"

Summer smirked. "That's because losers look stuff up while the rest of us are carpin' all them diems!" Summer hi-fives Rick.

Rick fived back. "listen to your sister, Morty. To live is to risk it all. Otherwise, you're just an inert chunk of randomly assembled molecules drifting wherever the universe blows you." The camera paned to Jerry standing in the driveway. "oh, I'm sorry, Jerry, i didn't see you there. H-how much of that did you hear?" Rick spoke attempting to sound sincere, while Burt packed last of Jerry's things.

Jerry looked sad. "all of it. You were looking right at me. I just wanted to say goodbye to the kids."

Burt walked into the garage. "Jerry you're off the white list five minutes ago, the kill drones will go live if you go in the garage."

Morty walked closer to his dad. "w-we'll see you every other weekend, though, right?" Burt rolled his eyes whipping his hands." absolutely, Morty. A-and your mom's lawyer says if i can get enough in the settlement, he can help me sue for full custody."

Morty just tried his best. "th-that'll be nice. Uh, Summer, dad's leaving!" Summer did her best to ignore him. "bye, dad. Rick, didn't you say you needed my help on an adventure immediately somewhere else i don't care even if it might kill us?" Jerry just frowned as Rick got his ray gun ready. "i did not, but if you're really that alienated, i'm as willing to exploit it as the next guy, church, army, or olympic gymnastics trainer." Rick pulled his portal gun out and fired at the floor.

"i'm ready when you a-" Summer takes a leap of faith. "bitch, i was ready yest-" Rick jumped after him. "bye, sweetie." Jerry said deflating. "well, i-i better-" Morty toward the the portal. "sure. Sounds important." Morty jumped in and Burt looked at Jerry. "i hope we can still be friends."

Burt laughed. "sorry Jerry, but i have been through this, only difference was my father didn't care and my mom blamed herself." Jerry deflated. "don't fight for custody, just try to be present." Burt left the garage.

There was a faint "loser..." in the wind.

Jerry looked around confused. "what? Hello?" he sighed and walked to the moving truck.

Burt looked at the world through his map. "oh oh, no not mad lad world." he said before opening a link to Rick portal gun and jumpping through it.

Morty. "uncle Burt, did y-you bring weapons? Summer's doing something dangerous." Burt dusted himself off.

Rick graoned. "ugh. You have infinite sisters, Morty. I mean, n-not that i want to spend the rest of my day looking for another one. Sum-sum, let's go! Grandpa's concern for your safety is fleeting!" Burt just got his laser musket ready pointing over Summer's should. "oh nice." Rick said mostly toward the craftsmanship.

Colossus rode toward Summer, pointing "your blood will be my lotion."

Summer aims the shotgun, as it closed the distance between her and drive she fired, blowing the front tire and launching the tri car a few feet."

Rick and Burt looked impressed. "whoa. That was cool." Burt put his laser musket away.

Colossus clawed toward. Summer. "kill me, please."

Summer spoke in an annoyed tone. "okay, but not because you told me to." and shot colossus.

Morty spoked worried. "Summer!"

Rick. "okay, getting darker." Summer turned toward fleet of armored trucks.

Morty ran to his sister. "jesus christ. Summer!" Rick ran after him. "aw, come on." Burt stands next Summer. " ok, i call for selling of the weak!" the raider came out of their car.

Rick looked at Burt perplexed. "what are you on about?"

Hemorrhage spoke first. "i am hemorrhage. You have butchered the weak blood from us and we accept to feast on the weak. We can combine our strength and feast on the weak together."

Rick looked at Burt. "wh-wh-what in the hell are they saying?"

Summer spoke in indifferent tone. "they don't have to keep trying to kill us if we join them. They're basically pussies."

Morty spoke concerned. "what is your deal lately?"

Rick cocked his gun. "all right, let's get sloppy. Oh, whoa. Uh, uh, what's, uh-what's that little bauble you got back there?" Burt smirked. "yea, that is a cool rock." Rick scanned it. "th-th-that's interesting."

Hemorrhage. "that is our glowing rock. We carry it with us for desecration, to remind us there are no gods."

Rick smilled. "kids, weird pitch: let's have this be our new life. Let's be post-apocalyptic scavengers!

Summer grinning sadistically "okay."

Burt roared. "deathstalker vacation!"

Morty was the only one to panic "what?!"

Later they were at deathstalkers camp. "i'm kinda pissed you got into my world catalogue, but the food. Not bad."

Summer walked Rick. "grandpa, some of the death stalkers are going to what used to be seattle to hunt what used to be people. I'm going." Burt nodded eating a biceps.

Rick just added. "sounds good. Stay hydrated." before she walked off.

Morty spoke up worried pulled Burt aside. "listen, Burt, Summer's been acting pretty crazy lately. You know, i mean, i-i think the divorce is affecting her. And, you know, i don't think this is a great place for her to be right now."

Burt placed the dish aside. "ok i will level with you, Summer is going through a form of separation anxiety. The thing is she's like your mom, if she doesn't get through her violent tendencies here, she will be a huge bitch to us. Just let her get it out of her system and once that's done, we will get that boulder and be home free." Morty looked perplexed. "how do you know this is will work? Did it happen before?" Rick joined the conversation to be the punchline. "w-what are you guys talking about?"

Morty stretched his arms for exclamation. "Summer just ran off with strangers that have "death" in their name, and the rest of their name was "stalkers"!"

Rick rationalized. "huh, could be therapeutic for her. She has been acting pretty crazy lately, Morty. I mean, her parents are going through a divorce." Burt smiled nodding. "also maybe we can leave early with that nice papier weight." Burt facepalmed.

Morty relented. "damn it, Rick, that's what i- fine. Just grab the stupid thing while we grab her, and let's get the "f" out of "h"!" Burt laughed. "we need to distract them away from their god killer." Morty looked at Burt "distract"? They eat each other. Wha-what do you want me to do to get their attention, put on a puppet show?"

Rick looked around. "right idea, wrong genre, Morty. The equivalent here would be..." turns to the blood dome. "hey, you guys ever use that thunderdome, or do you just put it up for decoration?"

Death stalker the spine ripper. "uh, you mean the blood dome?"

Rick sighed "save it for the semantics dome, e.B. White."

Death stalker drinker of tears. "ooh, burn!" Rick snaps his fingers and points a finger gun at death stalker drinker of tears while winking. "the important question is, who wants to take a poke at my man spine eater here? "Rick points at Morty and Burt and the the death stalkers cheer "i guess i'll see your asses in that dome!"

Morty panicked. "Rick, what the hell, man?! Wh-what are you, out of your mind?!" Burt went to the meat car.

Rick tried to calm him down. "Morty, relax. You're gonna be a ringer." Burt came back with multiple capsules of muscle memory. Burt check for no air bubbles. "this is going turn you into maddy maddy max!" he injected Morty's right arm. "ow"

Morty's arm begins to swell up and turn into armothy.

Burt smiled. "good, it won't be symmetrical." Burt loads a flask into the syringe, but armothy slaps the syringe away. "oh come on! Hey!"

Morty looked surprised. "i-i didn't do that!" Morty punches Burt with armothy into a trunk."

Rick stepped back. "okay, this is exciting. We're making some discoveries about muscle memory." Burt spat out a tooth.

Armothy dragged Morty to the blood dome. "ooh! Help! Help!" Morty pleaded, armothy grabs onto the blood dome. Morty jumps in and crushes a death stalker with armothy

Death stalker lord bone. "oh, sweet, man!" eli giggled with glee. "and so it begins, my pretties!"

Morty crushes a death stalkers head in. "oh, god! Stop! Stop! This is horrible!" Morty chokes another death stalker with armothy.

Rick gulped. "just stick and moo *burps* oove, Morty! Wear him out!" Burt just pulled out a tiny flag with Morty's face on it. "wait you carry that with you?" Rick asked confused. " i'm a supportive uncle and i expected you and Morty to gone a speed racer kick one of these days, also have one of Summer." Rick shrugs and walks towards the glowing rock.

A few fights later Morty, smashing a death stalker's head with armothy. "yea! Morty thats my nephew!"

Eli rolled his eyes. "chill it dude."

Morty yelled. "okay, no more!"

Armothy gestures for more

Eli "and he wants more!"

Morty pleaded. "no, i don't!"

Burt stood up. "no he doesn't!"

Armothy does hulk hogan's "i can't hear you" pose

Morty "someone, make this stop!" another death stalker jumps into the blood dome

Death stalker red spikes walks toward Morty. "mister, please get out of here, or you're gonna die! "the death stalker runs up to Morty, Burt points his laser musket out. "i have nothing to do with this!"

Summer and hemorrhage walk up to the blood dome "Morty." she spoke concerned. "he's working through it." Burt told her.

Morty started beating on the death stalker. "why would you want this to happen? All you had to do was go away! Stop standing in the driveway talking about custody! And either tell her you want to stay married or get on with your life, but whatever you do, stop being a baby and act like a man!" armothy punches off the man's head. Morty looks at armothy. "thank you."

Armothy gives a thumbs up. Summer runs up to Morty and gives him a hug. "Morty, that was amazing! This is my brother! Not that family means anything!"

Hemorrhage "this family does." he said poetically. "all right. Good job, champ. Um, can i talk to you kids for a second over yonder?" Rick said hiding the small boulder. "Rick, i-i-i think i'm breaking through to something here. C-can we not leave just yet?" Morty asked with a smile.

Hemorrhage "leave?" asked holding back anger.

Summer stepped back. "i'm not leaving."

Hemorrhage "there is no "leave". We are united, or we are enemies." Burt gulped.

Rick smiled. "oh, big guy, no. Nobody's leaving. Don't be stupid. We love being united. We love the radiation, the trichinosis. We're in it for life, which i assume is around 20 years, average. I just need a quick aside with my grandkids, about 40 yards from anyone else."

Death stalker ladyman came into the blooddome "hey, the green rock is gone!"

Death stalker the unseen. "oh, no!"

Rick "uh, i know why don't we all split up and look for it in groups of four? Kids?" armothy pulls the green rock out of Rick's messenger bag. "ooh. We'll be right back." Burt throws a smoke bomb.

Both run and jump into a car and drive to the desert. "grandpa, you're being stupid! Just surrender, and our friends will give you mercy!" Burt grabbed the mic. "Summer they are death stalkers, devourer of the weak, born with no mercy. They are douchbags!" Rick kills a death stalker about to board their car.

Hemorrhage took the microphone. "death stalkers, bring me his flesh leather!" a death stalker with a knife jumps onto Rick's car. Morty pulls up to Rick's car and shoots the death stalker, while armothy drives. "sorry, but can we not kill him? C-can we just take him prisoner?"

Hemorrhage asked. "when did i lose control here?"

Rick spoke. "listen to me! Both of you kids need to get out of this environment so we can properly deal with your parents' divorce! Alternatively, i have a freaking portal gun, and i can leave the two of you here forever!" Burt holding the machine gun. "don't you dare!"

Morty questioned. "why does it have to be such a dramatic choice? Can't we arrange a thing where we spend weekends here or or visit home to do laundry? " a death stalker with a turret shoots at Rick's car. Burt fired back standing up.

"all right, you know what? Fuck it!" he opened a portal on to the ground and launched Burt out of the car. Burt was surrounded. "i devour the weak, you're pathetic. I'm breather of the booms!" Burt got knocked out.

Transition to Morty, angrily beating up and killing another death stalker in the blood dome.

Morty cheered. "booyah! Fuck you, pal! Who else wants some? Who wants to be my pussy of a dad today?" armothy waves in front of Morty's face "hey, what's what's wrong, man? You're not getting weak on me, are you?"

Armothy points up at a man sitting in the bleachers outside of the blood dome. He was wearing armor.

Soldier looked confused. "what? Wait a minute."

Flashback to a first-person flashback of armothy chopping wood in a quaint, peaceful village. He stops when he hears a woman scream, and looks up to find houses burning and men riding in on horses, shooting at the villagers with bows and killing a man. Transition to the village burning, with armothy lying on the ground with a large cut in his wrist. The soldier from the bleachers walks up to him. "what's the matter, you piece of crap? Haven't you ever watched your family burn to death before? Now i'm gonna whip you. Ha!" the soldier whips armothy.

Back to the present time, with armothy still pointing at the soldier in the bleachers.

Soldier panicked. "it can't be. It can't be!" the soldier jumps off the bleachers and is running away "was just following orders -" Morty starts getting moved towards the man by armothy. "whoa, whoa!"

Soldier continued pleading. "i was just following orders!" armothy swings open the door to the blood dome, which knocks over a death stalker. "i'll tell you where my boss lives! He's in the castle!" armothy punches the soldier into a couch. "he's in the castle!" armothy picks up a torch and throws it at the soldier, setting him on fire and killing him "ahh! Aggggh!"

Morty looked at the corpse. "this isn't over, is it?" armothy gives a thumbs-down. "that means, no, it isn't over, or you disapprove of the question?" armothy shakes his hand and puts his pointer finger up, then gives another thumbs-down" uh, m-make a fist if this isn't over." armothy makes a fist "this isn't over." Morty turned to Burt tied to a boulder, was stoned and had one arm eaten off.

"uncle Burt." Burt groaned. "yea? These jerks really don't know how to kill a man." Morty scratched the back of his head. "so um can you, can help me and armothy get to the castle." Burt's watch burns the robes off and they steal a car to drive toward the castle. "s-so how do you know so much about this place anyway?" Burt sighed. "I'm the reason why it's a post apocalypse. "Morty looked shocked. "ok not me, me, another version, basically he was trying to create portal travel, and some douch bags detonated neutrino bomb right between dimensions." Morty looked at the floor. "that version of me is possible dead, but i like to come here, relax, collect rare materials. I need to put a lock on my attic if Rick is going to look through my sh*t." they reached the castle, the three climbed to the top.

Armothy disarmed and knocked out a gaurd then Burt took the sword. Armothy grabbed another guard used him to stab the one on the ground. Burt cuts the guard's head off.

Slaveowner was bathing. "graze my genitals again, taint washer, and you'll be shipped to the wasteland. And as for you, genital washer -" Morty burst through the window. "ahh! Oh, gee!"

Genital washer and taint washer run out of the room. Two soldiers charge towards Morty. Armothy kills them both, picks up one of their swords and drops it. He moves Morty towards the slaveowner and cracks his knuckles.

Slaveowner panicked. "oh, god. Look, whoever you are, you should know that killing me won't change a thing."

Morty "l-look, man, i'm just along for the ride on this one. You know, y-y-y-y-you're preaching to the choir here." He walked closer. "please. Slavery was a family business. I didn't ask to be born into it. If anything, i'm the victim here!" Rolled his eyes at the Slaveowner.

Morty tought for a moment. "uh, armothy, can i steal you for a second? E-e-excuse us, sir." Morty turns away from the slaveowner, Burt points the sword at the slaveowner. "so, this is it, isn't it? This is the guy? "

armothy shakes his fist "yes" "so, does that mean you'll be going away? Like, does it work like a ghost? Like, is is this your unfinished business?" armothy gives a "so-so" gesture. "Wh-what if we didn't do it? What if we just went back to the blood dome and just kept taking our baggage out on unrelated people?" Morty tears up "I mean, w-we could do that forever. I mean, i-i know it's less healthy, but w-w-we'd be together and -"

Armothy puts a "hush" finger up to Morty's mouth.

Slaveowner "i mean, i-i know what i'd vote for. if-" Burt edges the sword closer to his throat.

Armothy wipes away Morty's tears.

Morty sighs. "you're right. We both got to see our stuff through. I got to deal with my parents' divorce, and you got to, you know, do what you got to do. I love you." armothy and Morty hug/Morty hugs himself.

Burt removes the sword away from the Slaveowner "This is sweet." Burt smiled while Slaveowner said his last words. "aw, fuck!" Armothy starts to choke the slaveowner, while Morty notices that Rick is holding some vials on the other side of the room.

Burt and Morty "Rick?"

Rick. "sorry, sorry. I-i-i can wait for this to wrap up. Don't let me distract you." Morty looked at Rick. "yeah, well, too late. armothy dunks the slaveowner's head underwater. "just tell me what you want."

Rick explained. "I want you and your sister to come home and Sorry about leaving you here Burt." Burt flipped him off. "oh, but don't don't you have infinite versions of me and my sister?"

Rick sounded hurt. "you don't have to kick me while i'm down, Morty. Look, there's no replacing either of you without an amount of work that would ultimately defeat the purpose. Also most Burt's don't want a Rick." armothy continues to choke the slaveowner underwater. The slaveowner loses consciousness.

Morty took philosophical tone. "Maybe the lesson we've learned is that, whether it's our parents' marriage, a glowing green rock, or an awesome, giant arm, sooner or later, we got to let it go."

Rick "i don't know if that applies to the throats of murder victims, Morty." the slaveowner starts gasping for air in between gargles of water."

Morty panicked. "shit! Wh-wh-wh-what do i" Burt cut the Slaveowners throat.

Rick was shocked. "Shit!"

Burt sighed. "Listen, I'm picking the next adventure got it?! No more Burt being totured. Let's get Summer back and find some regen syrup. If any of those are wine, give me a bottle getting stoned here is something completely different." He and Rick chuckled.

The next Morning.

Summer and hemorrhage driving a car through the desert, with a fleet of other cars next to them, with Rick, Morty and Burt driving towards them from the opposite directiion. Summer and hemorrhage pull their car over and so do Rick and Morty. The four exit their vehicles with Rick holding the glowing green rock.

Rick decided to explain. "the reason i wanted this is because it can do this. "Rick puts a lightbulb on top of the rock and it lights up" this is a really special thing. I mean, you could use it to power all your vehicles. You wouldn't be reliant on gasoline. You'll be the most advanced tribe of radioactive cannibals in the whole" Rick gives the rock to hemorrhage "this version of the world." Rick shoots a portal at the ground and starts walking towards it.

Hemorrhage raises his hand. "wait. Can you stay to show us more?"

Rick smiled. "you don't have to ask me twice. Home is nuts right now. My daughter's going through a divorce, and i am not dealing with it in a healthy way at all.

three weeks later.

Transition to an overhead shot of the death stalkers' village, which is now a suburb with wires providing power with isotope 322. Transition to Summer, pulling into a driveway, wearing armor with her hair disheveled. A grocery bag in the car filled with human limbs is knocked over and some fall out "ugh. Goddamn it." Eli is mowing his lawn next door. Summer picks up the limbs that fell out and holds the grocery bag along with a purse.

Eli greeted her. "hi, there, Summer! How were the ruins today?"

Summer : oh, you know, eli. Same shit, different day.

Eli's girlfriend came along. "hey, Summer! Guess what. One man entered, one man comes out in nine months." She told her excitedly. Eli's girlfriend pats her stomach.

Summer wasn't as excited. "oh, congratulations, guys." She got her keys out and went toward the door.

Eli "uh, Summer, one more thing. We noticed that you've been putting scrap metal in the blue bin -"

Summer Answered. "i got it." Summer walks into her house]

Rick, Morty, and hemorrhage all sit on a couch, watching television. Hemorrhage is dressed in a "big johnson" t-shirt and navy pants.

Summer announced. "i'm home." her boyfriend acknowledged. "ey, babe." Rick nodded. "ah, Summer's home." Morty. "Hey, there she is!" Rick takes a drink from his flask. "you haven't moved since i left to scavenge this morning." Summer told Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage "blood dome playoffs." He pointed out which had a statue of Morty Armothy.

Summer sighed. "so, i can assume you haven't murdered a single person today?"

Hemorrhage "oh, i don't know. I-i didn't mark my murders in my murder log. I didn't know that's how we measured success."

Summer her hand. "oh, there he is. There's the nihilistic brute I married, except now life only means nothing when i'm talking to him and everything means everything when it's on fucking tv!" She turned the Tv off.

Hemorrhage spoke up. "jesus christ, when did you become a monster?"

Summer yelled. "I was a monster when you met me! We were monsters! We didn't care about anything!"

Hemorrhage refuted. "I still don't!"

Summer argued. "Yeah, except i'm the only one in this entire world that's still committed to that!"

hemorrhage stands up from the couch Hemorrhage "ohh! Ding, ding, ding!" hemorrhage pantomimes ringing a bell "wow. Everybody hear that? Wow."

Rick stood up. "uh, we should go to the garage." Rick gets up and exits the room.

Morty "uh-huh." Morty follows Rick and exits.

Hemorrhage : la-di-da-di-fucking-da. The only one committed to not caring?!

Rick and Morty standing in the garage, Burt look at the generator. "Sounds like my parents." Rick laughed.

Morty "I got to admit, Rick, when you popped this scheme, i-i-i didn't - i wasn't sure it was gonna work." Rick pulls a suitcase from underneath a table and puts it on the table. He opens it and a rock of isotope 322 sits inside.

Rick "come on, Morty. No union built on running from your problems lasts more than five years, seven tops. Grandpa just sped things up with a few creature comforts of modern society." Burt laughed. "Remember I get Twenty percent, that make way for the new warehouse." Summer enters from the Garage.

"hemorrhage and i are taking some time apart."

Burt decided to play supportive Uncle. "Oh Summy he's just douch."

Summer takes off her metal shoulder pauldrons and tosses them onto the ground, while Rick grabs some things from the garage and puts them into the suitcase. "oh, cut the crap, Burt, okay? I get it. Let's just go home."

Rick opened a portal and jumped in the kids followed. Rick shoots a portal into the ground. Morty and Summer jump in and exit, and Rick follows them, Burt smirks. "No one stones the boom lord." He took rock powering the town The power shuts off.

Hemorrhage screamed. "noooooooooo!"

Burt came through, grabbing a beer from Ricks mini fridge. "We're never going to post Apocalypse world." The Mechanicals versions came into the room. "Where's my version?" Rick scratched the back of his head. "I said you went on teachers seminar." Burt got a sledgehammer. "This is going to therapeutic!" He started destroying the Robot versions.

Rick and kids went to the kitchen. "hey, yo. Sorry for acting so weird for three weeks." Summer and Morty hug Beth.

Beth looked concernsed at the noice from the garage. "what the hell is happening?"

Rick Improved. "Burts home and recycling some of my old stuff. I better help."

Beth looked upset. "we're not gonna finish playing downbeat?"

Rick "what, that dice game where you shake dice and yell out, "downbeat"? No, thank you." Rick leaves the room.

Summer looked toward Beth "mom, would it be okay if i went to visit dad?"

Beth smiled. "sure."

Summer "thanks." She left the house."

Beth. "Morty, are you okay?"

Morty smiled. "you know what? Yeah. I think if dad really wanted to be here, he'd stop at nothing to make that happen. You know, maybe dad just doesn't want you back, or maybe he just doesn't have the strength to fight. I-in either case, he's got his life, i got mine." She nodded. "yeah. Hey, who wants to go run in a stream?" Morty looked confused. "what the fuck? No. D-do we have any oranges? I think i got a scurvy coming on." Morty rubs his arm and goes to the kitchen. "How was the Seminar?" Burt Sighed.

"I got the shit beaten out of me. Stole a car. I hated it." Beth looked worried. "How is the divorce treating you? You know I have been so focused on the Kids." Burt shrugged. "Nostalgic, only difference is morty isn't locking himself in his room trying build a swarm of dad tracking drones." Beth laughed. "Oh my god! Mom taught you were jerking it the entire time!" They both laughed. "Wait did you use those on the cheerleaders after they ruined poor yogurt on me?" Burt smirked. "You mean the bees that sprayed them skunk urine?" Beth laughed. "Let's finish this game for once." Burt took his seat.

Post Credits.

Burt of the apocalypse world was driving a gigantic mechanized Tank through Texes, it was the size of a City devouring the scraps of the old world. "I am the boom lord. All fall before me!" Said a Burt wearing a gas mask and multiple tubes with artificial lims running the controls.

Beth came in. "Burt Jerry say's were a rise in electrical use, maybe there's a civilization."

Burt graoned. "Where?"

Beth looked at the note. "near Seatle." Burt sighed.

"If the lights stay on for another month then we will check, otherwise the only thing that could come out of seatle is cannibal coffee shops and stupid piercings." Burt started bulldozing Austin.
