Morty and his grandpa were currently sitting in a jail cell on some foreign alien planet. His grandfather was glaring daggers at him from across the cell. The morning had started out normal. But he should have learned by now that nothing will ever be normal with his grandfather.
*flashback*
Morty was in his room getting ready for school. He slung his backpacks over his shoulders and was heading downstairs. His grandfather had left on some mission last night, he insisted that Morty could not join him. Morty personally didn't mind, it was nice to have a normal day as a normal teen that goes to school and such. Maybe he would do some baking later after school. As he was about to head out the door his communication device started beeping. It was a special device that his grandfather gave him for when they were on foreign planets, seeing as their phones didn't work. He pushed the blinking red button.
"Hello?" Morty spoke into the device.
"Morty…get to the garage….hurry!" his grandfather was breathing heavily and it sounded like he was running. Morty hurried into the garage.
"Ok, I-I'm here, what's going on? Are you ok?" Morty was concerned.
"Nevermind that, just grab my destabilizer and listen very closely, I'm coming in hot so be prepared, there are some unwanted guests after me, I need you to shoot them before they can follow me through the portal, they are right behind me so I will have no time to close the portal, can you do that Morty? This is serious you must do as I say, alright here I come" his grandfather said.
No sooner than when he finished that sentence did the portal appear and he came barreling through. Morty's eyes widened as two buglike aliens were right behind his grandpa. He pointed the gun at them.
"Shoot them Morty! Hurry!" Rick yelled.
Morty hesitated, he hated violence and he certainly didn't want to be a murderer, does that count if you shoot aliens? Is that considered murder? His mind began wandering.
"Morty! Shoot them!" his grandfather's shout drew him from his thoughts. But it was too late. The aliens shot his grandfather with something. His body locked up and he fell to the ground. All Morty saw next was them pointing the gun at him, then everything went black.
When Morty came to consciousness he was being carried. He couldn't move at all. It was as if he was paralyzed from the neck down. He glanced over and saw his grandpa was still unconscious. His body dangled limply from the arm the alien was carrying him in. He was taking in his surroundings; he couldn't tell but if he had to guess he would say they were in some kind of hospital or research facility. After he's heard all the stories about aliens loving to probe humans after they abducted them. The aliens were walking down a dull dark hallway. As they came to a steel door it slid open automatically.
They walked through and were in a room with a desk in the middle. On the far end of the room the wall was one giant window. And another blue buglike alien was staring out the window. The aliens communicated in some foreign language that included clicks of the tongue and flaps of their wings. The blue alien turned his attention from the window and flapped his wings. The one holding Morty clicked his tongue. Blue flapped his wings and clicked his tongue. Then the two aliens carried him and his grandpa out. Morty gulped, he wondered what was going to happen to them.
They walked through another steel door. There was a long steel catwalk, On either side of them were cells. But instead of bars, they had red laser doors blocking the cells and keeping the prisoners in. So he was totally wrong. They were in a prison, he wondered why in the world aliens wanted to take them as prisoners. He glanced at his grandpa, what the heck did he do?. They came to the end of the catwalk and pushed a button on a little console. A platform came up, they stepped on it and pushed another button on the console that was on the platform. And it descended father and father down. He wondered how far down this prison went. Finally they reached the bottom and the alien took them to a cell. They pushed a button on the wall and the laser door disappeared. They were tossed inside and the laser door reappeared.
Which brings him back to current events. His grandfather had only woken up about an hour ago. He hadn't seen the aliens again and he's sure it's been hours since they were thrown in this cell. Thankfully he regained full use of his limbs. Morty reached into his backpack, he was honestly surprised they didn't confiscate it. After digging around for a while he pulled out a pudding cup. He was hungry and this was all he had to eat. As he munched on chocolatey pudding goodness. His grandfather stood up and began pacing.
"This is all your fault Morty! If you had only shot those aliens like I told you we wouldn't be in this mess!" his grandfather thrust an accusatory finger in his face.
"I-I'm sorry grandpa, I-I just have a hard time with violence, and you were asking me to kill, I-I'm sorry I just couldn't" Morty took another spoonful of pudding. His grandfather smacked it out of his hand spilling precious chocolate pudding on the floor.
"Don't feed me that! I know what it was really about! You didn't trust me! You thought I was telling you to kill some innocent creatures! You assumed I was steering you wrong didn't you!?" his grandfather crossed his arms.
Morty said nothing as he could not deny his grandpa's accusations. Because he was right, the truth is sometimes Morty didn't trust his grandfather. But how could he blame him? His grandpa could be rather cruel sometimes. Heck even now he's pretty sure his grandpa did something to these aliens to make them attack him like that. He highly doubted that they just attacked him for no reason. And now his grandfather had the audacity to be mad at him?. He lifted his chin and looked his grandpa square in the eyes.
"You got us in this mess, not me" Morty said.
His grandfather looked briefly shocked before a look of anger returned to his face. He simply grumbled something that was probably best unheard and turned his back on Morty. Did he just win an argument with his grandfather!? No way this isn't over his grandpa was going to explode on him any moment. But several minutes passed and his grandfather just sat there with his back to him. He really wasn't going to say anything? Morty felt guilty, perhaps he shouldn't have said that. After all, he isn't sure if this really is his grandpa's fault.
"Grandpa I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I-I didn't mean it" Morty apologized.
His grandpa said nothing. Guess he wouldn't be forgiving him anytime soon. Morty reached into his backpack to grab his other pudding cup. However: this one was vanilla, not as good as the chocolate. Just then the red laser door opened and the two aliens came in. He quickly took his hand out of his bag so they wouldn't think he was reaching for a weapon and blast him. They clicked their tongues and restrained them. Once again he was being carried.
"Let us go you freaks! Just wait until I get free, I'll grab a fly swatter, no better yet a bug zapper, even a giant boot!" his grandpa fought against the alien that was holding him.
The alien flapped his wings and earth slammed his grandfather, knocking the wind out of him. The alien clicked his tongue and picked his grandpa back up. These aliens were really strong. They got carried out of the prison and taken to a giant hive looking castle. Buglike aliens were flying in and out of the many holes. It reminded him of a beehive. His mouth watered he wondered if there was any honey.
The aliens took off flying, Morty's heart lurched in fear as they left the ground. Morty really hated heights and the only thing keeping him from plummeting to his death was an alien and he wasn't sure that was any safer. They landed inside the hive. It was noisy with the sound of beating wings and clicking tongues. They were carried to a large throne room. Inside Morty saw a green alien that was larger than the others. It was clicking its tongue angrily at a small red alien whilst the red alien ducked its head in shame. It appeared that a parent was scolding their child. They were thrown before the big green alien. It pointed a finger at his grandfather whilst aggressively flapping its wings. Morty had no idea what it was saying but it appeared to be very angry with his granddad.
"Listen here you freak, I can't understand you" he said. Suddenly these weird devices were placed on their heads. He could hear the aliens' tongue clicks in clear english.
"You foul wretched wingless man! You have brought great shame upon our race!" the big green alien's voice boomed.
"You have defiled our pure Odonatian blood! What right did you have to mate with our beloved Princess Xena! Well, what have you to say!" the big green bug flapped his wings.
What a minute, did he just say his grandfather had relations with that small red alien!? What the heck would possess his grandfather to make love to that. He looked at his grandfather in utter disbelief. Only his grandfather would do something so completely disgusting.
"Well I was simply really horny and your daughter just happened to be nearby, so one thing led to another and before I knew it we were mating like a couple of wild animals" his grandfather smirked. Was he proud of it!?
"How dare you! I will splatter you all over this hive!" the big green alien flapped his wings.
"Wait father! I know you are upset but Rick and I love each other, so please don't kill him" Princess Xena pleaded.
"Quiet princess! You know us Odonatians are never to breed with anyone but our own, you have soiled our blood" he clicked his tongue angrily.
"But it's true love father! What does it matter what species they are as long as we love them, and what of the boy? He had nothing to do with this" Xena said.
"The only way I will spare Rick's life is if he agrees to take your hand in marriage, it is only fair" he clicked his tongue. His grandfather's eyes widened in horror.
"Ok, it is only fair, I will take Princess Xena's hand in marriage" his grandfather said. Xena flapped her wings happily. Morty was utterly stunned. Since when did his grandfather want to do what was fair?
"Perhaps I misjudged you Rick, maybe you aren't so bad for a wingless man" the big green alien flapped his wings.
Morty was separated from his Grandpa as they prepared for a wedding. He wondered what an alien wedding was like. He still couldn't believe that his grandfather was actually going to marry this alien. There's no way he was going through with this, he had to have some kind of plan. Honestly he was wondering why they couldn't just let him go, he has nothing to do with his grandfather's weird taste in mates.
As he sat back in his chair he thought about his own spouse. Since they travel to different dimensions meeting all sorts of different races, what if he met some alien race somewhere along the way. What if he married some weird freak of nature. Morty always judged women based off their heart and not their looks. Could he really love someone who looked like these bug freaks? Or worse. He knows he's only fourteen so it was a little early to be thinking about this stuff but he couldn't help it. He was a traditional boy that wanted marriage and a family someday. He would work and support his family and hopefully his future wife would be on board with being a homemaker. Suddenly the door to the room he was in slid open. It startled him out of his thoughts. A yellow alien stood in the doorway.
"Your wingless companion is ready to see you" she clicked her tongue. Morty was led to another room where there were aliens tending to his grandpa.
"Morty, nice to see you, come in come in" his grandfather motioned him over.
"Grandpa, w-what is going on? You don't really intend to marry her do you?" Morty whispered so the aliens wouldn't hear him.
"Morty do you want to get out of here alive?" his grandfather whispered back. Morty nodded.
"Then this is the way, you just make sure you are ready for the wedding, in fact you are going to be the torch bearer" his grandpa said.
"Torch bearer?" Morty asked confused.
"In Odonation culture the couple lights a unity torch, so you will bring the torch and then things can really heat up" his grandpa winked at him.
"Now away with you Morty, and be ready with that torch" his grandpa added sternly.
Morty was taken back to the small room he was being held in. It seemed as if hours passed and he was so bored he wanted to bang his head against the wall. He had already eaten his pudding cup, read the book he had in his bag, and scratched tally marks in the wall. Now all he needed was a harmonica. Through a small barred window he could see that it was evening. He pushed the chair up to the wall and stood on it so he could reach the window. He was yanking on the bars as the door slid open and the yellow alien appeared again.
"Are you trying to escape!?" she flapped her wings aggressively and looked ready to kill him at any moment.
"Uhhh, no I-I was just trying to get a better view that's all" he hoped she believed him.
"You had better not be, because I got the unity torch you are supposed to deliver to the happy couple" she clicked her tongue.
He was handed a red torch with two wicks. Then she roughly grabbed him and shoved him forward. Clearly she didn't buy his story about looking for a better view. He was taken to some ceremonial grounds. There were holes in the walls with hundreds of bug aliens in them. The big green alien was standing at the far end of the grounds. His grandpa and Princess Xena were standing in the middle of the grounds. His grandfather was wearing some goofy crown looking thing on his head. He had no idea what he was supposed to do. When was he supposed to bring the torch? Was there a specific way he was supposed to do it? Why couldn't his grandad have given him more information. He would just stand here in place until he was called upon. He kept his eye on his grandpa the whole time looking for some kind of cue.
"My people, we are gathered here today to celebrate the unity of our darling Princess Xena and this wingless man, normally we don't let those that are not of Odonatian blood in our home, and we definitely don't marry them, but this wingless man has proven that he will stand by our beloved Xena, and I am happy to officiate this historic occasion" the big green alien clicked his tongue.
"Now the pair will engage in a friendly spar" the big geen alien flapped his wings.
His grandpa and Xena proceeded to fight each other. This reminded him of that weird canine girl that forced him into a mating ceremony. He shuddered just thinking about it. His grandpa was a skilled fighter but he's already seen how strong these bugs are. So he wondered how much of a chance his grandpa stood.
They traded blows. His grandpa leg swept Xena but she used her wings to steady herself. He followed up with an uppercut she didn't have time to dodge and got nailed in the face. She hit him with the gut shot and then she followed up with a ball kicker. Morty winced with his grandpa that had to hurt. His sister kicked him in the balls one time. It was enough to put him on the floor. Sure enough his grandpa sunk to the ground holding his family jewels whilst wincing in pain. Xena proudly declared victory. That was just low. Morty wanted to go check on him but he stayed put in case this was where he was needed. After several minutes his grandpa picked himself up off the ground. Xena shook his hand.
"Now the pair must light the unity torch so the courting ceremony can begin" he flapped his wings. All eyes were on him as his grandpa beckoned him closer.
Morty brought the torch to his grandpa and Xena. Morty was about to return to his spot but his grandpa grabbed his arm and told him to stay nearby. His grandpa and Xena both lit a separate torch. Xena lit one of the wicks of the unity torch, his grandpa lit the other. His grandpa grabbed the lit unity torch and threw it at Xena which lit her on fire. She screamed as the place erupted into chaos. His grandpa pulled a gun from his coat pocket and started wasting aliens. Morty stood there eyes wide mouth agape. He knew his grandfather didn't want to marry Xena but this was a little much. Then he pulled a little red metal ball from his pocket, he threw it and it shot flames everywhere. The sound of screaming bugs filled the air. Morty was frozen in horror. Next thing he knew he was being grabbed and drug through a portal. His grandpa quickly closed it.
"Wha, w-wha" Morty was at a loss for words.
"What did you expect Morty? Did you really think I was going to marry that freak? No way, she was just a one night stand, I'm already married in forty two dimensions, I did not want a forty third wife" he said as he pulled out a glittery gold box. He opened it and dumped out a bunch of wedding bands. Morty just stood there babbling like an idiot too stunned to form a complete sentence.
Morty finally recomposed himself. Oh well at least the whole ordeal was over and now he could go do some baking. He was heading out of the garage when his grandpa grabbed the back of his shirt. Strangling him briefly as he yanked him back into the garage.
"Where do you think you're going? We have to head to Astralius immediately" his grandpa said.
"Aww, w-why do I have to go, c-can't you go by yourself?" Morty whined.
"Because Morty, you know when you go shopping and you bring that one loser to carry all the bags, that's you Morty, you're the loser that carries the bags, I might need you to carry some things for me, so let's go" his grandpa said.
And with that Morty hesitantly went with his grandpa to Astralius. They went to the star themed building where Rick M-791 was waiting for them.
"Ah there you are Rick S-283, wait until you see what our project has turned up, it is incredible, once again your Morty can hang out with Superstar Morty while we work" Rick M-791 said.
Morty went off in search of his star themed counterpart. He only walked a couple of steps before he realized he had no idea where he was. He walked back inside and asked Rick M-791 where he was.
"Give me just one moment" Rick M-791 lifted his right arm which had a high tech watch on it. He scrolled a few times. "Ok, he is currently in the Star Studio" Rick M-791 said.
Morty headed to the Star Studio. He hesitated to open the door, he was most likely busy, maybe he shouldn't bother him. But Rick M-791 didn't seem to mind so maybe he wasn't. He entered the studio. Superstar Morty was laid across a beach themed set. He was shirtless which made Morty want to cover his eyes. Maybe he should leave him alone. With Superstar Morty laid out like that his pants rode up a little bit and he could see that he was wearing a gold ankle bracelet with a yellow star gem in the middle of it. Morty always thought only women wore ankle bracelets but who was he to judge Superstar Morty's fashion choices.
"Ok look at me Morty, smile, open mouth smile, nice, nice, love that, looking good" the woman Olivia he believed Superstar Morty called her. Was taking photos from different angles.
"Ok now sit up, here hold this beachball, come on Morty try and look like you're having a fun day at the beach, that smile is so fake, give me a real smile" Olivia continued snapping photos. Morty felt bad for him, he looked so uncomfortable. He made eye contact with him.
"Hey Morty!" his eyes lit up. Olivia glared at him.
"Do you mind, can't you see we're busy" Olivia put her hands on her hips.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry, I'll go" Morty turned to leave.
"Wait, don't go, it's ok I can take a break" Superstar Morty said.
"No you can't mister, we are working on the Superstar Morty calendar and we are only in June, you still have six months to get through, that's six more themed pictures, this calendar is set to release next week, so you have to finish it today" Olivia lectured him.
"We'll finish it later I promise, please I just need a break" Superstar Morty looked at her with pleading eyes. She just threw her hands up in the air and stormed off.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your work" Morty apologized.
"It's ok, I'm happy to get a little break, come on we can hang out at my house" Superstar Morty said as grabbed his sheer black shirt and pulled it on.
As they were walking to his house Morty noticed something off about Superstar Morty. He was slouching. It seemed as if every step was an effort. They made it to his house. He pulled out a gold star key and unlocked the door. They entered the house and were greeted by Stella. He flopped down on the couch in the living room. And now that he could see his face clearly he saw that his eyes had dark circles forming, his eyes were red with tiredness. He looked completely exhausted.
"Are you ok, y-you look exhausted" Morty's voice held concern.
"I've just been really busy, I have to finish that calendar and then I have shows at three, four, and five" Superstar Morty ran a hand through his curly hair.
"Wow that seems like way too much, i-it can't be healthy for you to perform that many times" Morty wondered why Rick M-791 would work Superstar Morty like that.
"Yea it is a lot, but it's summer in Astralius which means a lot of tourism, so Mr Rick's profits increase substantially during this time, so he crams more shows into a day" Superstar Morty explained.
"Are you really happy here? And if not have you ever considered leaving?" Morty asked.
"I know I should be happy, I know I have more than most people, but sometimes I wish my time and life were my own, and I did run away once, I won't make that mistake again" Superstar Morty said.
"I'm ready to finish that calendar now, but I think summer is about spending time with friend and family, so I want you to be in the July photo with me" Superstar Morty said.
"Are you sure, I-I mean I'm not famous, they want to see you not me" Morty wasn't sure.
"It will be ok, it will be fun I promise" Superstar Morty said.
"Well o-ok then" Morty agreed. They went back to the Star Studio.
"Miss Olivia, I'm ready to finish the calendar" Superstar Morty said as they entered the studio.
"It's about time….wait what is he doing here?" Olivia raised a brow.
"I want him to be in the July photo with me, since summer is a time to relax and spend time with friends and family" Superstar Morty said.
"Alright fine, whatever gets this done faster" Olivia sighed.
He changed into some blue swim shorts and a blue rash guard. Superstar Morty changed into some yellow swimming trunks, but Olivia made him stay shirtless. They both had on some flip flops. You could really see Superstar Morty's ankle bracelet, it honestly seemed out of place in the picture and Morty was surprised that Olivia didn't make him take it off. But again who was he to judge people's accessories.
They both sat in beach chairs whilst sipping on some iced tea. Then they did one where they were building a sand castle together. One where they were tossing a beach ball back and forth. He's not going to lie, he was having a lot of fun. Superstar Morty was lucky if he got to do this all the time. They were doing one of them running on the beach only Morty didn't stop in time and went crashing into Superstar Morty. They both fell to the ground. Superstar Morty was lying on his back and Morty was on top of him. Morty was so embarrassed and he expected them to be furious that he had ruined the photo. He was surprised when Superstar Morty burst into laughter, so he joined in. He heard the clicking of the camera. They both froze.
"Did you take a picture of that?" Superstar Morty asked in horror. She nodded deviously. Morty was horrified people were going to think they were…
"Delete it, people are going to get the wrong idea" Superstar Morty said.
"What, they are just going to think there is some Morty on Morty loving going on" she said in a teasing voice. Morty was so embarrassed. He could only imagine how much his grandpa would be teasing him if he knew about this. They shared a good laugh about it before.
"Thanks for hanging out with me Morty, I have to go get ready for my shows now, hey why don't you come with me" Superstar Morty said.
Morty felt bad, it was obvious that Superstar Morty desperately wanted a friend. He would obviously have to leave eventually and this time he wasn't sure there would be a reason for them to return. He doubted he would ever see him again once they left. So he would keep him company for the time being.
"O-ok, as long as you are sure I won't be in your way" Morty said.
Superstar Morty led the way to the Star Gym. He said he had to warm up first. He ran on the treadmill for thirty minutes. He did all sorts of stretches. He was really flexible because there was no way Morty would be able to bend and stretch the way he does. Then they went to his house where he made some honey tea.
"You must e-enjoy drinking tea" Morty said.
"Oh well I do enjoy tea, but my first show is a singing number, I won't do any acrobatics in this first one, so I drink this because it helps my throat stay moist and not get sore" Superstar Morty said as he took another sip.
"Wow, y-you have to sing too, they really make you do it all don't they?" Morty said.
"Yea, sometimes my shows are acrobatic, some I have to sing, some are a combination of both" Superstar Morty said.
"Oh crap I have to go!" Superstar Morty practically dumped the rest of the tea down his throat. Then he and Morty booked it to the theater. They entered a back door and came to a room with a yellow star on it. Superstar Morty opened it, it was a dressing room. Rick M-791 was standing there tapping his foot impatiently. His grandpa was leaning up against the wall looking bored. He wondered what they were doing here. Well he figured Rick M-791 would be here, but why was his grandpa? He heard Superstar Morty gulp.
"Sorry Rick S-283, we'll continue testing our results after I see to making sure the shows go off without a hitch, in fact I'm offering you and your Morty to stay the night, you can stay in my manor and your Morty can stay with Superstar Morty, like I said we'll get back to science after, but there is a lot of money to be made so I have to make sure the shows are a success, and Morty here is already messing it up by being late to his pre show prep" Rick M-791 turned and glared at Superstar Morty.
"Where have you been!? I told you to be here at two, and it's two thirty and you are just arriving! How dare you defy me!" Rick M-791 yelled.
"I didn't mean to defy you, I'm sorry, I just lost track of time, I promise I'll be ready when it's time to go on stage at three, I promise" Superstar Morty looked terrified.
"You had better be! For your sake" Rick M-791 threatened him before walking out.
"Come on gentlemen, let's go take our seats" Rick M-791 said.
"As much as I would just looooove to stay for another one of Superstar Morty's shows, I think I'm going to head back to the lab and keep working, just join me when you're free" his grandpa said as he walked away. Morty didn't know whether to follow him or to stay.
"You're right Rick S-283, science waits for no man, I'm highly sure Morty knows the drill by now, let's resume our work" Rick M-791 said as he joined Morty's grandpa. So what was he supposed to do? He knew the two Ricks would be busy and wouldn't want him in the way. But Superstar Morty was also busy. Morty suddenly felt out of place. The door to the dressing room opened and Superstar Morty came out.
"Hey Morty, I just wanted to say thank you for hanging out with me today, it really meant a lot, ok I gotta go bye" Superstar Morty ran through another door which he was going to assume led to the stage.
He knew Superstar Morty would be busy for a couple of hours with his back to back shows. So he decided to go to his grandpa. He went to the Star Building, as he was heading down the hallway searching for his grandpa. He heard him and Rick M-791 talking in one of the rooms. He peered into the cracked door and saw that it was a lab of some sorts. He was about to just go wait in the conference room. But his grandpa and Rick M-791 seemed to be having a serious discussion and Morty being the eavesdropper he is, was curious what they were talking about.
"That is some serious money you are making, but how did you get it to work? How do you keep your Morty in line? Couldn't he ever just refuse to do the shows?" his grandpa asked.
"A very good question, first of all my Morty is a clone from the Citadel, I had him specially made for my empire, they bred him to be extra docile meaning he hesitates to question my authority he does what I tell him when I tell him to do it, gentleness which makes him popular with the fans and adds an extra layer of he won't question my authority, and of course forgiveness he is quick to forget any wrong done against him, also I beat him into to submission, if he ever even thought about leaving or not doing what I asked I beat the tar out of him, so he is terrified of me and knows better than to make me unhappy, like today if he messes up I will punish him severely so knows not to mess up again" Rick M-791 explained.
"Well, my Morty is already pretty gentle and a total push over, so I could make him bake goods for me to sell and make mass money off of it" his grandpa said.
"Make them work so you don't have to, that's my motto, because Superstar Morty makes all the money I don't have to work and can focus on my studies" Rick M-791 said.
"What if your Morty runs away? Wouldn't that ruin your empire?" his grandpa asked.
"Hahaha, he already tried that my friend, but what he didn't realize at the time was that the ankle bracelet he wears is a tracking device and restraining device, so I knew where he was the whole time, I drug him back here and beat him within an inch of his life, trust me he won't try that again" Rick M-791 laughed.
"If I'm being honest, I love abusing him, I beat him for no reason sometimes, if you beat your Morty often, he will soon learn to fear you and then he will do whatever you tell him without question" Rick M-791 said.
Morty gulped, his grandpa wanted to beat and exploit him? He was overwhelmed with fear and he considered running away, but he had nowhere to go. He would be safe once he got home. His grandpa couldn't hurt him as long as he was home. They got back to work, they pulled a glowing green crystal out of a containment unit. His grandpa pulled out his portal gun and opened the section where the fluid went. They drained the fluid and put the crystal where the fluid would go. His grandpa closed it and shot a portal.
"Do you realize what this means? We can now use our guns without having to replace the fluid, we can where we want with no limitations, here now let me try it in mine" Rick M-791 said as he grabbed his portal gun.
"Sorry old friend" his grandpa said as he shoved Rick M-791 into some shelves knocking many beakers full of god knows what down onto the floor. He grabbed Rick M-791's portal gun and ran. He grabbed Morty by the arm and practically drug him down the hallway.
"So long sucker!" his grandpa shouted as he shot a portal and drug Morty through with him. Morty fell to the ground. But he realized he hit hard hot ground instead of the familiar floor of the garage. He looked up and saw they were near a volcano.
"W-whaaa? Where are we? Why did we come here, I-I want to go home" Morty was in distress.
"Shut up and grab a pickaxe! We're going mining, deep in this cave by that volcano is a powerful metal, we are going to find it, I can make my portal gun so powerful, so infinite, so…..deadly, amongst other things, this metal will open up so many new doors for me, Rick M-791 was foolish enough to reveal it's location to me and now I'm going to get it and he's not, come on Morty, let's make history" his grandpa said as he slung his pickaxe over his shoulder and started towards the cave.
"Grandpa please, I-I just want to go home" Morty pleaded.
"Stop whining! Before I shove you into the lava" his grandpa said. He threw a bag of supplies at him.
"Carry the bag, bag carrier" his grandpa laughed as he continued making his way to the cave. Morty sulked behind him carrying a heavy bag.
