Hey Guys, Crescent Rider here and I welcome you all to the First Original Chapter of my Revised Rick and Morty story.
And in case you all ask about what this chapter holds. Let's just say that I'm including Drakin's Zeno Empire again, and if you are reading this drakin. Please know that I may have done a few tweaks of my own with your Characters while working on this chapter.
Though I assure you that everything will go accordingly, I can promise.
Lastly, I've decided that while I'm going to work on a collection in Dryad's Account, I've decided to put this there and see where it'll go down from there.
That is all, and as always, Enjoy the chapter!
I don't own anything! Everything belongs to their respective owners excluding my OCs.
(Marcus' POV)
With Christmas over and New Year celebrated, a week had finally passed. As for today, it was a day that also comes once every year...
...
...
...
My 17th Birthday...
With Morty and Summer back in school, Beth and Jerry on their jobs, and Rick staying in his garage for god knows how long. I was alone in the house and no one, not even Beth, knew this day since I hadn't told them since breakfast.
But I wouldn't let it get to me as I stopped caring about my birthday, even if anyone in this family announced that it was my birthday. I would pass this day like every other day.
So all I do is focus on my laptop as well as manage various markets and merchandise in UV-Sol-5. I even check my inbox, containing various messages, to ensure that I'm updated on certain situations, one such example is coming from 'Invader', the current head of UV-Sol-5's Commercial District.
Upon opening his message, I started reading the following:
'Reaper, Médaillon Studios has signed an advertisement deal with Electrorks. The latter's merchandise has reached Imperial Factions'
I felt indifferent to this report as Médaillon Studios mainly focuses on broadcasting their advertisements and deals through several Imperialist Channels. At the same time, Electrorks are known for making Ion-based weaponry from rifles to heavy cannons.
'Who is their first buyers?' I typed, and sent it to Invader,
A couple of minutes later, Invader sends a reply...
'Zeno Empire'
I blinked at this answer, then took a glance at my open closet. Inside an open box was a picture frame and one half of it was covered by some cloth. The person appears to be human and someone close to my age, but I know the truth of this photo which made me sigh as think about him in my mind.
'Inform me of any updates with their development. I want to know what comes in and out of their merchandise' I typed, sent the message, then closed my laptop for today,
As I lean against my chair, I often wonder about the people I know in the Zeno Empire. Compared to the Smith Family, this one was vastly different as it was the few galactic factions to go against the Galactic Federation, maintained several footholds on former Federation Planets they've liberated, and their fleets, led by the Empress, stood strong against any Federation Fleet it came across.
Their military achievements aside, their homeworld of Emeros was truly livable when it came to its architectural background and technological wonders.
With all this in mind, I decided to just go with it instead of moping around in this house alone.
Thus, I went out of my room and made my way to Rick's garage where he was in the middle of inventing something not important to me.
"Hey Rick, can I borrow your portal gun for a moment?" I requested,
"Why?" Rick asked,
"Because I want to be out of the house, there's no other place I'd go on this earth, and in case you don't know. It's my 17th birthday," I listed, "So I can at least borrow your portal gun for a moment?"
"That's all you want? A brief moment with my portal gun? You know I could just make one for you," Rick pointed out as he spotted working and leaned against his workspace, "Wouldn't that be a much more appropriate gift than lending you my portal gun?"
"Rick, I'm aware of your superior intellect in building a Portal Gun and handing that Portal Gun like some toy to a giddy child. But another portal gun made from you is the last thing I'd want," I stated, "So please, lend me your portal gun,"
"Sure you don't want me to make you a portal gun?" Rick asked,
"LEND ME YOUR FUCKING PORTAL GUN!" I yelled inhumanely with the mix of my polymorphic powers that turned the sclera of my eyes black, pupils red, and gnashing teeth. A moment later, I reverted to normal and sighed once, "Please..."
Rick flinched at my sudden outburst, but didn't look so scared as he just frowned a second later, "Geez, you didn't have to yell at me like that,"
He'd pull out his portal gun and hand it to me. I then set the coordinates and opened the portal to that destination. With that done, I handed it back to Rick and then I pulled out my phone.
With a couple of taps, I then stowed my phone into my pocket, "I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. It felt inappropriate,"
"Eh, I may or may not seen worse," Rick remarked, "But if Morty had seen that, he would have freaked out by now,"
I groaned at his comment and walked straight into the portal without any more questions. With the portal closed Rick goes on to do what he usually does in the garage.
He would notice his computer receiving a notification and go to check on it. What he'd see was a small amount of money added into his account as well as an all-day, all-access pass on 'Boob World'.
With this, he'd go and pick up Morty rather than waste this opportunity...
Upon the first step out of the portal, I was soon greeted with various gold-plated buildings with emerald green lining, various spacecraft for commercial trafficking, and a society with mixed alien society.
This was Emeros, the Home Planet of the Glindoozian Race and the Capital World of the Zeno Empire.
The location where I arrived in is somewhere in Emeros' Commercial District and the place I needed to go was the Imperial Palace.
Passing by several people, I often hear various chatter about the Imperial Empress' recent victory and the Emperor's ongoing talks with another potential race.
My opinion of these things didn't matter in the slightest, but what truly drew my attention was how the Imperial Prince and his Fiancé were involved in their conversation.
Reaching a public train station, I'd pay for a ticket and sit on an empty chair. After the train car was filled with today's passengers, the train departed from the station and I patiently waited for my designated stop.
With my designated stop, I stepped outside of the train and walked out of the station. With just a few meters of walking, the Imperial Palace was before me. (The Design of the Imperial Palace is similar to the Terran Dominion's Capital Building in Korhal. But imagine it being built by Protoss)
I took a breath and spotted a tourist group by the gates. Everyone is allowed to see the Imperial Palace, but no one is allowed to enter without military authorization.
I'd just stay behind the tourist group before watching them leave via bus and I went to the front gate with my hands deep in my pockets. As expected of imperial security, they deny me my entry, "Halt! You are not allowed to cross these gates without military authorization or permission,"
"Is the Imperial Prince in his studies?" I politely asked,
"Why do you speak of his Majesty, stranger," A Glindoozian Guard questioned while he and his partner raised their weapons at me,
"Because his friend would like to know what he is up to," I replied, unfazed by the guns they pointed at me,
The two guards glanced at each other, and then one of them decided to cautiously approach with a gun holstered and some cuffs present, "We'd appreciate it if you cooperate with us,"
I couldn't resist them, instead, I cooperated with them as I slowly showed my wrists and allowed myself to be cuffed by an Imperial Guard while the other reported Imperial High Command...
(3rd POV)
After an annual meeting and lessons, the Imperial Prince is seen walking his way to his bed chambers. With doors open, he was soon greeted by a special someone.
She was Glindoozian, had beautiful light brown hair, wears a white long coat, a white shirt underneath, a pink skirt, gloves, and stockings. What stands out of her figure was her large boobs.
This was the Imperial Prince's fiancé, Oko, and she presented herself rather well for her beloved by sitting at the foot of his bed with legs crossed, and a charming look in her eyes.
"How were your lessons?" Oko inquired,
"As I'd expected," The Imperial Prince replied with a smile, and went to sit with, "How were yours?"
"Oh, the usual. Although, Kashi can be quite strict and intense in her training," Oko explained, "In the end, I endure and learn a thing or two,"
"Anything else?" The Imperial Prince inquired, while flirtatious leaning towards her,
"Why don't you find out?" Oko inquired and it soon led to a passionate kiss between the two,
Their kiss soon turned into a make-out session as the Imperial Prince gently pushed his beloved on the bed and kissed down her neck. She feels ticklish by his approaches as well as turned on by how experienced he is.
Before they could continue this affair any further, they heard a knock on the door which caused the two to stop. The Imperial Prince doesn't seem annoyed or irritated, rather he straight his beloved postures and closely to each other, "Come in,"
When the doors opened, the one who entered was Imperial Security Manager, a Gromflomite, named Glork.
"Did someone trespass on Palace grounds?" The Imperial Prince inquired,
"Not so, your Majesty. Rather, I received a report that there's someone who calls you friend at the front gate," Glork reported, "He even asked how your studies were faring,"
"My studies? Why would-" Before the Imperial Prince could say, he slightly widened his eyes and realized what this meant, "Where is he now?"
"He's currently under custody at the front gatehouse," Glork replied, "What should I tell them?"
"Let them know that I know that man and allow him entry into the palace," The Imperial Prince commanded, "If he is in cuffs, he is to be released from them. No escorts though, he knows his way, and I will escort him inside the palace personally"
"Understood," Glork replied, and closed the door after he left,
"Are you sure it's him?" Oko inquired,
"I am," The Imperial Prince replied, "So let's not keep him waiting,"
Oko feels the same way and postpones their love for a special meeting.
(Marcus' POV)
I patiently waited at a cell by the gatehouse after the guards took me under their custody. Did not try anything as that would disrespect the professionalism of these fine guards and it'll feel rude to the people I'm meeting today.
Moments later, the two guards from before opened my cell and approached me, "We've verified your affiliation with the Imperial Family, and they've ordered us to free you from our custody,"
With the cuffs off of my wrist, I'd stand up straight and perform a few twists on my wrist.
"We would also like to express our apologies for detaining you, Sir," The Gate Guard said,
"None needed," I replied, "You were doing your job and I don't blame you for your dedication and professionalism to the role. Therefore, I give you my compliments for doing a fine job,"
The two guards seemed pleased by this, and then they let me walk free as they were told not to provide an escort into the Imperial Palace.
Once out of the gatehouse, I'd follow the pathway with hands in my pockets and eyes up front.
Standing before two large doors, I took a deep breath and felt conflicted about entering these very doors. For it had been months since I last visited and that was when the Imperial Prince had hired me to do a job for them.
But after gathering some composure, I'd walk right in while looking the other way only to hear, "Marcus!"
Before I could turn, I was lunged by this girl she wrapped her arms around my neck and I could feel her large breasts against my chest.
Once the hug was over, she pulled her head back and showed off a cheerful smile on her face, "It's been too long since I last saw you! How you've been?"
"Been better, I supposed," I replied,
"Don't be like that old friend," I looked up and saw the Imperial Prince, ever-doting his dark emerald green vest over his grey shirt, fine dark emerald green pants, and the Imperial insignia Emblem onto the right side of his vest, "For you are always welcome in the halls of the royal family,"
"Ragnar," I greeted, and he just smiled
"Oh look at us," Oko pulled Ragnar close, and hugged both of us with her in between it all, "Together again! And I must admit, I never would have thought that you'd come and visit, Marcus. What's the occasion?"
"Nothing special just wanted to visit some old friends and all," I admitted,
"Don't be so modest, Marcus. We both know that this day marks you're 17th Anniversary," Ragnar said, "And you're just in luck. My Father happens to be returning this afternoon, chances are, you'll be able to meet him today,"
"Today's your birthday?! That's wonderful to hear!" Oko enthusiastically stated, then she held my hands, "And with our free time, we can spend the entire afternoon with all sorts of fun activities. Nothing is ever boring when you're around,"
People would normally feel happy about this behavior, and I somehow contained this feeling as a sour look on my face is still shown to them. Something even Ragnar took notice of, "Why the sour look, My Friend. Today's your special day, it may not be similar to Glindoozian's standards, but it's still your special day,"
"I don't know, it's just... I yelled at an alcoholic scientist for no particular reason and my mind hasn't been clear since... You know," I tried to say, but Oko firmly held my hands and gave a comforting look on her face,
"You may not be open to us, just yet. But I know that whatever you're going through, know that we're here for you and so is everyone else in this palace," Oko assured, "So bear with your sorrow for now and just be happy that you're here with us, okay?"
I was speechless for a time, and one glance at Ragnar was returned with a nod as well as a smile on his face. With one prolonged sigh, I just shrugged my shoulders and submitted to Oko's demands, "Alright, I'll try,"
"Great!" Oko then grabs Ragnar's hand, "Now let's go and have ourselves a fun time,"
Without hesitation, Oko started pulling us away and we just went along with it as nothing ever stops her enthusiasm for a good time...
All sorts of recreational activities were done within Palace Grounds as Ragnar and Oko aren't permitted to go outside without an escort. A lot of them were done in a matter of minutes, but what invested our time the most was a special virtual reality headset with a variety of games installed within.
All we needed to play was a virtual reality headset into our eyes and some chairs to sit on.
"Ready?" Oko inquired, and we nodded in response,
Once the three of us wear the virtual reality headset, we dive into the virtual world of gaming...
The first game was a Wild West-Theme Shooting with a cooperative setting and customizable avatars. Once we've customized our respective avatars, we look at each other.
Oko's style consists of a white plaid belly shirt, ripped jeans, an ammo belt with two holsters for pink revolvers, and her cowboy hat was white with a silver star badge on the ring.
Ragnar's style consists of a black coat with dark emerald lining, a grey plaid shirt, long jeans with the belt buckle bearing the Empire Insignia, two gold-colored revolvers underneath his coat, and an empty rifle hostler wrapped on his back. His cowboy hat was black with the same lining as his coat.
As for my style, I went with a white long-sleeve shirt, a black vest, a black bowtie, long black jeans, and a holster carrying two black revolvers. As for my cowboy hat, I wore a pure black hat with a badge of a skull with a bullet hole on its forehead at the center and a bandana mask with painted skull teeth over my mouth.
With our avatars ready, we went to play long arm of the law and went on to chase our first band of outlaws located at a hideout within the valley. The Outlaw Leader, a Notorious Gunslinger, is our target: Dead or Alive.
Our vote was Alive, due to the challenge, and the field soon changed to the theme and location of our first mission.
The three of us spawned in the area and Oko just played around with some revolver tricks she learned in the virtual world and real life. Once finished we took positions by the mouth of the entrance and I drew my revolvers.
Our way of communication is through several gestures since the enemies of this game aren't deaf like other games. If they hear us talk, then they'll know we were here and slightly decrease our chances of completing this mission.
With a couple of nudges and gestures on my end, Ragnar and Oko understood as they stayed put while I went and scouted ahead. After I'd learned that the coast was clear, I gestured the two to get over to my position while I eye on the number of outlaws in the area.
I'd spot three, and there's bound to be more once we start fighting. I'd roll to the second line of cover nearby and mouthed the count down to the two, 'One, Two,'
The third number was made mentally as I popped out of cover and shot the two outlaws in the head. Rewarding 2000 Points for each headshot.
"Sheriffs! We've got sheriffs raiding in on our hideout!" An Outlaw yelled and more began to spawn in areas that weren't covered by our vision. They'd take cover while I waited for them to pop out and be shot for 2000 Points each.
Ragnar and Oko would follow suit and take on several outlaws down on their while I went down to reload. With fresh bullets in the chamber, I went out of cover and started gunning down every outlaw that dared to take a shot at me while Ragnar and Oko followed and covered the rear and flanks.
When Ragnar took out an Outlaw by the cliff, the latter fell to the ground and spawned a level-action rifle. Oko rushes towards the lever action rifle, receives it, and tosses it into Ragnar's hands.
Once he held it, he aimed and started whittling down the other outlaws positioned on cliffs, towers, and roofs for being a better shot. Oko would go to the right side of the area to take down any Outlaws she set her sights on while I pushed forward with my rear covered by Ragnar and his rifle.
With so many losses on the Outlaw's side, they began to retreat through a tunnel and the area was considered clear for us to move forward. As we followed after them, things turned a bit risky as the other side of the tunnel was being guarded by a gun turret lying down suppressing fire on the other side of the tunnel.
"Any ideas?" Ragnar inquired,
"I've got one," Oko said, and revealed a bundle of dynamite on hand, "Back up, boys!"
We did just that and Oko pulled out a matchstick from her back pocket and lit the fuse. As she leans against the wall, she then proceeds to toss the bundle of dynamite to the turret's location and playfully puts her fingers in each respective ear.
"Ah, shit!" An Outlaw Gunner yelled as he seemingly abandoned the turret and the dynamite let a loud explosion and rubbled the tunnel a bit.
With the turret gone, the three of us proceeded to the next area and spread out as there were more outlaws than there were in the first. I crouched behind a rock, Ragnar is behind a metal barrier, and Oko is standing behind a makeshift building.
I'd gesture my head to Oko to try and take a peek at the area, but she quickly pulled her head back when an Outlaw Sniper almost shot her in the head.
"Phew, that was close," Oko remarked, and Ragnar expressed some relief despite all this being a game,
I then decided to take a peek at the right side of the rock and surveyed the area before pulling myself back when a total of five outlaws armed with revolvers and rifles fired at my position.
On Ragnar's side, he managed to spot the sniper who almost shot Oko and sent the message through hand gestures. Oko and I understood and I peeked at the left side of the rock.
There was some cover, but the angle and distance would expose me to the outlaws for a short period. Risk on my part, but lessens if Oko and Ragnar time their assault on the outlaws.
I'd glance at the two and give respective nods before rushing to the second rock for cover. Ragnar soon aimed at the Sniper's position and landed a shot while Oko popped out of the wall and provided covering fire.
As soon as I hit my back against the wall, I scanned my flanks for any outlaws that might get the jump on me. When it was clear, I'd run to my right, avoided more gunfire, and hit my back against a wooden pillar.
Ragnar and Oko would move out separately and take out any outlaws they'd find. It was all too easy on their part until one of the Outlaws on Ragnar's side managed to throw a stick of dynamite even after being shot.
Ragnar aimed the dynamite in an attempt to shoot it. But another outlaw managed to take advantage of this and shot him in the shoulder.
As soon as the dynamite hit the ground, the blast caused Ragnar to be knocked off of the ground and fall right on his back.
The game was also accurate in detail as Ragnar's ears were ringing, his sight blurry, and he suffered a concussion which prevented him from gathering his bearings together.
A nearby outlaw would take advantage of this by getting close to him and landing the fatal blow with a pull of a hammer. But before he could pull the trigger, I came to his rescue by shooting the outlaw through the temple and went to drag Ragnar out before more outlaws came to our location.
Once I set him down by the wall, Oko was there and pulled out a syringe filled with medicine. She's injected it into Ragnar's arm while I watched our flanks.
Seconds later, Ragnar's injuries were healed and regained his bearings.
"You doing okay?" Oko asked,
"I am, thanks," Ragnar thanked, "Both of you,"
"No problem," I replied, and turned to them, "Now boost me up, we've got some outlaws to handle,"
They already knew that I had a plan, and proceeded to boost me up onto a wooden platform. Once I was on top of the platform, I started shooting at the Outlaws while Ragnar and Oko went together.
Bullets were flying through the air and some narrowly hit me as they adjusted their aim as the game intended. So I'd jump to another platform on the left and fire more bullets until the revolvers ran dry.
I'd pop the cylinders to eject the empty rounds and reload one gun at a time. Before the Outlaws could take advantage, they were outflanked by Ragnar and Oko as they appeared on their right and gunned down the nearest outlaws.
Those that were far away ran for a cover such as crates or vaulting over the other side of their previous cover. Ragnar and Oko quickly hid as the Outlaws redirected their efforts at them. But those outlaws were soon killed as I hopped from one platform after another and started gunning them down.
After the last outlaw was done, the three of us proceeded with the last area, which was the leader of the Outlaws and his band of elite outlaws.
I'd take cover in the middle, Ragnar would take to the left, and Oko would take to the right. However, we'd constantly move around from cover to cover as this gunslinger has a knack for throwing dynamite.
With elite outlaws constantly on the lookout, we sparingly rush our way out of cover as these guys aren't like regular outlaws.
If nothing is done now, these enemies will wipe us out and Oko thought of a way out of this mess. She'd tossed some dynamite wrapped with matches onto it.
I'd take my share and toss the rest to Ragnar's hands after he reloads his level action rifle. I took a quick peek after Oko provided a distraction by firing on the elite outlaws on the ground. Having learned of a wooden pillar surrounded by some barrels, I'd give a nod at Ragnar and he understood what he needed to do as he cocked his rifle once.
As soon as I stood up to throw the dynamite, Ragnar popped out of cover and took out two elite outlaws and injured one of them. After the lit dynamite was thrown, we'd take cover and as expected, the barrels were filled with gunpowder and it wrecked half of the wooden platform where the Outlaw leader was positioned.
Though he managed to jump down to safety, the same can't be said for those who were caught in the blast. Others were momentarily dazed, and it was our time to do some actions as we vaulted over our covers and fired upon every outlaw we set our sights on.
The Outlaw Leader would occasionally fire upon us, but we'd avoid his shots by taking cover or by leaping forward, rolling to the sides, and picking up our feet after.
As soon as the Elite Outlaws' numbers were dwindling, the Outlaw Leader tried to make a run for it, but I'd pull out some bolas, whirl it around, and throw it hard at the Outlaw Leader.
The bolas would wrap themselves around the Outlaw Leader's legs while Ragnar and Oko dispose of the rest of the Elite Outlaws.
With all that done, we'd climb up on the ladder and catch the Outlaw Leader with revolvers pointed at them. Leading to his immediate surrender...
After completing the game, we were all teleported to the center of a Western Town and received the following scores/
'Outlaw Captured!'
Total Scores:
"Marcus"
'54,000'
"Ragnar"
'49,000'
"Oko"
'64,000'
Oko pumped her fists in triumph, Ragnar tipped his hat, and I just fixed my vest and bowtie.
"Even though I've gotten the lowest score, I'll admit that that was fun," Ragnar remarked,
"I agreed, and if we keep practicing. You might get the highest score out of all three of us," Oko encouraged, then turned to me, "Don't you think, Marcus?"
"Practice makes perfect," I responded,
"Seriously, you need to get rid of that mask off your mouth. It doesn't suit you," Oko remarked,
"You can't tell me what to do, Missy," I said with a Western-like tune,
Ragnar and Oko just chuckled at my impression, and we all proceeded to quit the game and leave the virtual world after we learned the time that Ragnar's father may return from an important affair of his.
After we removed our virtual headsets, we left the recreational room and made our way through the halls of the Imperial Palace.
When we reached the ground level were soon greeted with three people walking towards their way. The one on the right was a Glindoozian woman with long blonde hair that reached her waist, wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with a red breastplate, bracers, and gauntlets, a utility belt, long black pants with red knee pants, and combat boots.
The one on the left is another Glindoozian Woman with blonde that only reaches her back, and wears the Sapphire Blue Armor of an Imperial Soldier (Death Trooper Armor).
And finally, the one in the middle was a Glindoozian wearing a Byzantium Purple long-sleeved tunic with platinum decorative buttons and lining, Byzantium Purple Trousers, A platinum diadem with extraterrestrial crystals as the jewels, and a badge with the Imperial Insignia pinned to his chest.
This was the current Emperor of the Zeno Empire, Vagron Vex Andrel, and his two bodyguards Kashi Relo and Gloriza Trets.
"Kashi, Gloriza, Father," Ragnar formally greeted the three with a bow, "I hope you three are well,"
Oko bobbed a curtsy the three and I followed Ragnar's example.
"Likewise, My Son," Vagron greeted with a smile, then he turns to me, "And I see that you've invited Marcus in here as well, you should have told me that he was visiting today,"
"Actually, I came here uninvited," I admitted, "Though I spent little time in custody of the palace guards, your son and I had a swell time in the recreation chamber,"
"I see, I certainly hope that the guards haven't treated you unfairly, have they?" Vagron questioned,
"Not at all, Your Majesty," I assured, "As a matter of fact, I respect their professionalism as well as their actions against me."
"Your formality is unnecessary, Marcus," Vagron insisted, "We are within the walls of the Imperial Palace, and you are the cherished friend of my son and future daughter-in-law. And let's not forget that my beloved wife, Diolra, treats you as if you are one of her own,"
"If that's what you want, Vagron," I said, dropping my formality towards the leader of this Empire,
"Introductions aside, why have come here? You must have had a reason for visiting us this afternoon," Vagron inquired,
"It's Marcus' 17th birthday, today," Oko revealed, "And he came here to celebrate it by hanging out with us,"
This surprised the three while I frowned at Oko for revealing it so quickly, "Really?"
"Don't try to deny it, Marcus," Ragnar said, "You wouldn't come here in Emeros without reason, would you?"
I sighed while Vagron returned to his usual composure, and approached me, "Well, reason or no. Today is a special day,"
He firmly placed his hand on my shoulder, and gave a genuine smile, "And I would like to spare some of my free time with you, Marcus. If you'll allow it, of course,"
I couldn't say anything, nor turn away from the Emperor's gaze. But having heard his soft words, and given my history with the Imperial Family.
I submitted to it and shrugged my shoulders, "Why not, you're already here. So I don't see any harm with having you along, Vagron,"
"Splendid," Vagron responded, then he turned to his bodyguards, "And what about you two? Will you join us?"
"Are you certain of this, your Majesty?" Kashi inquired, "I mean, we don't mind accompanying. But is it really okay for us to join?"
"Of course, Kashi. You not only serve as my bodyguard, but as Oko's instructor," Vagron pointed out, then he turned to Gloriza, "And you, Gloriza. I recognized that look in your eyes and I can tell that you wish to spend time with my son,"
"Y-Yes, certainly!" Gloriza said uncharacteristically, but she'd caught on and straightened her posture, "I mean, of course, Your Majesty,"
"Great!" Oko replied, went in between the two, and wrapped her arms behind their backs respectively, "Now let's go and have fun, We're burning daylight if we just stand here and do nothing,"
With that, everyone present would go about their day spending time with me rather than spend it themselves. Admittedly, I wanted to spend little time here and go back afterward.
But with such company, I couldn't help but stay longer than intended, and suddenly...
...
...
...
I smiled to myself for having such company...
(3rd POV)
In the evening, Rick and Morty returned to the garage after having the best time of their life in the amusement park known as 'Boob World'. They even had hats with the park's name and the double o was shaped into breasts with start censoring the nipples.
"Wow, Rick. That was the best day of my life," Morty happily remarked,
"You're *belches* right on money, Morty!" Rick said, ruffling the top of Morty's head before raising his fists high above his head, "Boob World fucking rules! And I knew you'd like it more than bored yourself with today's school. Now let's hide these hats before your parents know where we were,"
Morty would take off his 'Boob World' Hat, hands it to Rick, and the latter hides it inside a box underneath his work table.
What comes next is the two going out of the garage and going to the living room to do something else. That's when they discovered Marcus sleeping on the couch rather peacefully his head against the armrest.
Morty would attempt to wake him up, but Rick held him by the shoulder and shook his head to clarify that he shouldn't.
With no alternative way to wake him up, he told Morty to scamper off to his room while Rick briefly remained in the living room.
Then he decided to do something else as he went up the stairs, then back down and tossed a blanket that had been taken from Marcus' room over him.
Rick then goes to his garage to do his own business while Marcus tosses himself to the opposite side of the couch with his blanket wrapped around his body...
(Bonus Scene)
Somewhere in Emeros, Gloriza Trets returned to her home and subsequently locked herself in her room.
After she takes a deep breath, she suddenly acts like a giddying schoolgirl in her room, squeals in sheer joy as she prowls around the room, and even rolls onto her bed several times.
She had enjoyed herself after Emperor Vagron invited her to spend time with some of the Imperial Family.
Enjoyable as they may be, it was nothing compared to seeing Ragnar being so kind and modest in various interactions with everyone in the group.
The reason for Gloriza's gleeful trait was due to her youth when the Imperial Prince was first born. She had the honor of being present due to her family's military history with the Empire.
In addition, Vagron and Diolra themselves have acknowledged Gloriza's potential with handling infants and they assign her as Ragnar's caretaker whenever the two are off doing their respective duties in the Empire.
She had watched Ragnar grow from a young boy to a mature man for several years and the latter began to see her as a Big Sister, which Gloriza completely adored and accepted.
However, she wouldn't show this side of her so publicly as it goes against her character as a military soldier. The ones who truly know this side are Vagron, Diolra, Kashi, Oko, Marcus, and Ragnar but they swear secrecy as she never wavered in her charge as an Imperial Soldier and the Imperial Family owes her a debt of gratitude for watching over the young Imperial Prince.
Speaking of young children, Gloriza soon heard a scuffle and an argument from another room and she grunted to herself.
"Rou! Lou! What have I told you about fighting in the living room!" Gloriza scolded as she went to the living room and sort of the problem,
That is it for this chapter, everyone! But before you go there is something I need to inform of and reviews that need replying.
If you recall I'm allowing people to make suggestions for 'Original Episodes' of the story, I failed to add the following rules when it comes to making one.
So, here they are...
1.) All Suggestions must be sent to via PM and not a review. If I find one there, it is automatically rejected.
2.) It doesn't drift the story out of the Rick and Morty Franchise.
3.) It doesn't affect what I have planned for future episodes (Original and Canon)
4.) It doesn't contain anything I disapprove of (Which means I'll be judging the requests to ensure it doesn't cross anything that I consider immoral. If you want an example, Take the Episodes 'The Vat of Acid', and 'Rickdependence Day'. Also don't expect these two to show up in my story at any time)
5.) Be aware that I may alter the details of that suggestion to better fit the plot with my style of writing.
Now that the rules are done, I'll let you all know why I put a long scene where Marcus, Ragnar, and Oko play a Virtual Reality Game of Western Shoot Out Game.
That was to let you all know how the three act in battle in both the Virtual World and the Real World. (Try imaging Batman and Robin being able to understand each others' motives without a word spoken between them)
Marxgreyjoy: Oh don't worry about that issue. Because I will confirm to you that Marcus does indeed have an infinite version of himself much like everyone else in the family.
I won't tell you more, but expect it to come shortly
Timesliger: That sums it up, and don't worry about Marcus being too angst or cold-hearted. For there will be times he'll act soft when it's appropriate or unnecessarily aggressive like you saw in this chapter.
Now here's a list of answers to your question.
1. They will, but I won't tell you how they're different compared to the old version
2. Won't spoil you there, so you're gonna have to wait on that one
3. Progress will be slow in the First Season, but he'll improve over time.
4. I'm afraid that won't be the case because I have a different plan for Marcus Prime. So after Rick and Morty leave the Prime Dimension, the story will circle the new Marcus.
Gamelover41592: Much appreciated!
That is all I have to say, and I'll see you all in the next episode
