Hey Guys, Crescent Rider and I welcome you to not a new story, but a major reset of the Rick and Morty story. Now you all may ask yourselves this, what will be different this time? Well, a lot! Actually...

From revisions to originality of content, to reveal of details that I have yet to show in the old version of the story. Even Marcus' Introduction will merge with the first episode.

Also, Marcus won't be around Rick and Morty so much since he's got a life outside of their craziest adventures and such.

Lastly, expect several line breaks. Not too much, but enough to separate certain sections of the chapter.

That is all, and enjoy the first episode of my reworked story.

I don't own anything! Everything belongs to their respective owners excluding my OCs.

Greetings, I'm Marcus. I may look like your average adolescent in real life. But in truth, I am not. Rather, I work as an Interdimensional Mercenary after graduating high school at 12, and the excuse for not attending college is my young age alone.

At present, I've turned 16 and college was considered a better option than taking on various interdimensional jobs for the past four years. However, I remain indecisive about which university I should enroll especially when my current attitude is mighty low.

At my calmest, I wouldn't care about my surroundings. Upon my fury, I'm quite terrifying to be around. Even the Smith family isn't excluded as they refrain from testing my patient. Apart from their Alcoholic Grandfather, that is.

What? Are you all wondering why I called the Smith Family rather than my family? Well, read the episode and you'll find out yourself. Save the questions after the episode.

That and my harsh attitude aside, this is the story of how I got myself involved in the Adventures of Rick and Morty...

Unknown Planet (Marcus' Pov)

Through the scopes of my rifle, my sights were dead-set on an Alien spacecraft carrying a valuable target. The disposal area was littered with several counter-sniper personnel, widespread surveillance from both ground and air and security personnel were top-notch in their training and experience.

Many wouldn't dare take this job due to various risks and dangers, but I wasn't those many. I was the few who would risk it all to complete said job.

With the alien spacecraft landing, the first to depart were bodyguards, which came in numbers that surpassed that of a squad's number, then came to my target wearing protective gear due to their weariness of this hostile world.

The photographers and journalists that were present in the area were kept away and anyone who stepped out of line was dragged out of the area, imprisoned, or executed for violating said boundaries.

As the target was being escorted to the car, I zoomed right through his face and tagged him to determine whether this was real or some double they'd prepared. Upon confirmation, it was a double disguised as the target and none of the bodyguards seemed to match my target's profile.

However, I anticipated this since my target is absurdly cautious with his ins and outs. Therefore, it stands to reason that he is hidden somewhere else and the use of a thermal scope was put into play.

The spacecraft has a second group waiting inside and they're much smaller than the double's group of bodyguards. With some wiretapping technology, I've discovered that their cue to leave the craft is when the double enters a vehicle and all of the journalists and photographers leave the area.

Minutes later, the double enters the vehicle with a few bodyguards while the one in command gives the all-clear before entering the front car. Counter-snipers were ordered to stay in position as the real VIP was about to depart from the craft.

As soon as the target leaves the craft, the first shot is fired and pierces through the ship's exterior before it erupts into a fiery explosion. This caused panic among those who remained and counter-snipers were ordered to find the shooter while the real VIP was being helped to his feet.

That would be the last thing they'd do as I held my breath and squeezed the trigger.

Through the scopes, the shot went right through my target's head and scorched the center of the brain beyond any means of recovery. However, the shot also pinpointed my location since the bolt that followed the projectile was visible to some of my target's personnel when I overheard their report.

Thus, I stood up from my position, pulled out a bomb, and placed it next to the rifle after I'd set the timer. I then abandoned my position since personnel would act quickly in apprehending the suspect.

However, I planned an escape as I ran, vaulted, and slid from the rooftop and its outdoor vents. As I ran toward the very edge, I clocked my watch and jumped without hesitation.

The fall was over 500 feet and dropping fast. But before I hit the ground, I soon unfurled something from my back. These were large black wings and they allowed me to glide through the streets and maintain my altitude over vehicles.

With the way being straight and narrow, I soon heard my watch beeping, and a portal opened in the distance. I'd pull my wings and bring my arms onto my face in an X-shaped form.

As soon as went through the portal, I arrived at another location and unfurled my wings like a chute. With a straight hall, I'd bring my legs forward and grind the soles of my shoes against the floor like a car hitting its brakes.

There was some screeching and scorching marks were made in the process, but I'd stop as soon as my speed had decreased, and all that remained was the scorching smell of smoked boots.

I'd straightened myself up, removed my scorched shoes, and tossed them aside. What followed was the mask I wore on my mission and took a long breath after an exhausting escape.

"Welcome back, Marcus," A Feminine Voice said,

I turned to the voice and saw an adolescent-like android approaching me with fresh clothes in hand. Her design included white neck-length hair, regular blue eyes, a standard uniform (Detroit Become Human), and an electronic armband attached to her right arm. This was my android inhibiting a smart A.I. I've programmed

"I presume that your mission went well?"

"It has," I replied as I retracted my wings and grabbed my clothes "Notify my client,"

The eyes of my android started to blink a few times, then stopped afterward, "Message sent, is there anything else you'd like for me to do?"

"No, that will be all," I said after I wore my clothes, "For now, I'll be going to bed,"

"Sleep well,"

The place I was in had no bed, so I opened a portal via my watch and walked right through. The next room in question was a bit messy and cramped, yet it was enough to fit in a closet, a small bed, and a desk.

Before going to bed, I'd turn off my light since I left it on through the night and jumped right into bed. I'd soon shut my eyes and sleep til the sun rose in the morning, but not even five minutes had passed and my door was kicked open and light flicked on.

"H-Heya, Marcus, *hiccup*"

I groaned in irritation, pulled my blanket over, and kept my eyes as I didn't want to deal with an alcoholic scientist who happens to be my Grandfather and one of the Universe's most dangerous criminals, Rick Sanchez.

"C-Come on, no time for you to stay in bed, I need you on something," Rick drunkenly said and pulled one side of my blanket,

"No, and fuck off," I told, as grasped my blanket tightly,

"S-Seriously, we-we-we don't have time for this," Rick insisted as he kept pulling, "You are very important for this plan of mine, and I won't leave with you,"

"Last time, Fuck off," I repeated and pulled the blanket out of Rick's hand before tucking myself in,

Rick just sighed since he wouldn't take rejection so seriously, which caused him to boldly pour some of his alcohol onto my hair. As soon as I felt it, I tossed my blanket and angrily sat up, "What the fuck, Rick!"

"Good, you're up. N-Now let's go," Rick said, dismissing my doused head, "You can sit at the back while *burp* I get Morty up,"

Rick soberly walked out of the room and went to Morty's room while I begrudgingly clenched my fists, growled at Rick's offense, and muttered a few curses. However, I surrender myself to whatever shenanigans Rick has in store since one of the many things his grandfather is capable of.

It's elaborately messing things up to Morty, and the entire world with it.

With some towel to clean myself of the alcohol in my hair, I went down the stairs and walked towards the garage. I'm not even going to address the poorly made spacecraft as it'd waste my time to ask a question to Rick.

So I got into the backseat of this spacecraft and noticed a large bomb that Rick may have soberly made. However, I paid no attention to this, especially when I sat next to him and leaned my head against the glass to sleep.

Several minutes later, Rick arrives at the garage with Morty, his grandson, being dragged by his foot. I could tell due to their voices.

Moments later, Rick piloted the craft through the open garage door and I absentmindedly listened to their conversation. This craft had been made out of some stuff and garbage from the garage Morty asked if this was the surprise.

That's when Rick soberly revealed that he made a bomb and what he plans to do with it is pick Jessica from Morty's Math Class and detonate the bomb to make a fresh start. The idea revolves around the story of Adam and Eve where Morty will be the former and Jessica will be the latter.

Morty tries to reason with Rick, especially when he points out that Jessica doesn't even know he exists. But with Rick being sober, he assures Morty that he isn't going be in between them and that's when Morty asks what was his point

When Rick mentions Jessica again, Morty tells him that he doesn't care about her, and Rick seemingly agrees as his grandson couldn't finish the next sentence and armed the Neutrino Bomb.

I opened one eyelid due to the automated voice and closed it after it went silent, not minding the fact that Morty started fighting Rick for the steering wheel. The ride gets a little bumpy and I groan in irritation as curled myself up into a ball and covered my ears from their voices.

What set me off a little was when the craft dropped onto the ground for a landing and the rattling sound of bottles as Rick seemingly opened the door. Morty expresses relief as he falls onto the front seat.

Rick then admits that this was all an elaborate test to make Morty more assertive before passing out. Then the automated made another announcement, "Neutrinon Bomb Armed,"

"Um..." Morty mouthed with concern as the bomb's beeping grew increasingly loud,

What stopped it from going off was the sole of my boot as I kicked the bomb hard, "Can't you just shut the fuck up! I'm trying to fucking sleep here!"

"M-Marcus?" Morty frighteningly called out,

I paid no mind to him, and focused on making a list of complaints under my breath, "I stay up for six hours for a job, get fucking douse by an alcoholic asshole, get fucking bumpy in a ship made of garbage, and a fucking bomb that goes loud before an explosion! What else is going to happen!"

"Uh..." Morty was unsure as to what to say since he's more afraid of me in this family than anyone,

Though I'd soon calmed down after I took a few breathes and turned to Morty with a convincing frown due to sleep depravation, "Don't disturb me, otherwise, I swear I will make you regret it,"

Morty shakingly nods and I curl myself up to get some sleep while Morty is stuck in the middle of nowhere with Rick passed out. So instead of pulling Rick in and driving back home, he would wait until either of them woke up.

The next morning, the entire Smith Family and I were eating breakfast and Morty hadn't gotten any sleep as seen by how sleepy he looked. Apart from these two, there's Summer Smith, who happens to be the eldest member of the family, Beth Sanchez, the Mother of Morty and Summer and Rick's Daughter, and finally Jerry Smith, the Father of Morty and Summer.

"I see there's a new episode of that singing show tonight," Jerry said as he read his tablet, "Who do you guys think is gonna be the best singer?"

Right on cue, Morty's face falls onto the plate after he succumbed to sleep deprivation.

"Oh my god. His head is in his food. I'm going to puke," Summer nonchalantly remarked,

"Morty, are you getting sick? I told you not to practice kissing the living room pillow. The dog sleeps on it," Beth said with concern,

"I wasn't kissing a pillow, Mom. I just... I didn't get a lot of sleep last night," Morty explained, "Maybe my dreams were just too loud or something,"

"Or maybe you were out all night again with Grandpa Rick and Marcus," Summer slyly revealed,

"What?!" Jerry exclaimed in anger,

"Dad?" Beth called out,

"What, so everyone's supposed to sleep every single night now?" Rick questioned, "You realize that nighttime makes up half of all time?"

"Screw that logic," I stated, "I'd rather have half of that day sleeping than be depraved by being wake up all time,"

"And yet, you came with anyway," Rick pointed,

"That's because you poured alcohol onto my hair when I wanted no part of your scheme, Rick" Marcus revealed,

"Damn it!" Jerry yelled as he pounded his fists against the table,

"Jerry!"

"Beth!"

"Oh my god, my parents are so loud. I want to die," Summer nonchalantly stated,

"If you do, let me know. I want in," I nonchalantly added as I finished today's breakfast,

"There is no god, you two. You'd better rip that band-aid off now, you'll thank me later," Rick said,

"Okay, with all due respect, Rick... What am I talking about? What respect is due? How is my son going to pass his classes if you keep dragging him off for high-concept sci-fi rigamarole?" Jerry angrily argued,

Moments later, Rick began an elaborate opinion about Jerry being the tyrannical patriarch of the house and how he feels about school being a waste of time. As he went on about this, I just picked up my empty plate as well as Summer's empty plate after she finished her breakfast.

After I'd washed them the old-fashioned way, with a sponge and some dish soap, I went back to the dining room. I picked up Rick's finished plate after he finished ranting about his opinion in school, or so I thought when he gestured his hand at me, "T-T-Take Marcus here, he graduated high school when he was 12. That proves my point on how school is a waste of time,"

I just frowned at him for making me a primary example for the sorry excuse he calls the school, but I said nothing as I took Rick's platter and dining wares and took them to the sink to be washed.

After Rick remarked how good Beth's breakfast was, she felt touched especially when he made mention of Rick's deceased wife much to Jerry's disapproval.

Once again, Morty fell onto his breakfast and I sighed before preparing a simple brand of coffee that felt appropriate for a kid his age.

After I've snapped Morty out of his drowsiness, I placed the coffee near him, "Drink this, It'll get you through your class,"

"Thanks, Marcus," Morty wearily thanked, and slowly drank it down,

As soon as he finished half of it, he felt somewhat refreshed and finished the rest while Jerry questioned my motive, "Uh, Marc. Are you sure giving Morty coffee is good for you?"

"That blend won't make him an addict, it'll just give him some energy to get through the afternoon in school," I stated, "But enough about him, just finish your breakfast and I'll clean up the rest after,"

"But... We have a dishwasher, shouldn't you just use that, instead of cleaning the dishes yourself?" Jerry questioned,

"Jerry, I know what you mean about that dishwasher. But if I had an opinion of my own here, Is that dishwashers are just a way to make people feel lazy about washing dishes themselves," I stated, "Sure, you won't get yourself wet since all that water is inside the machine, but I prefer to get myself wet by water than to waste it on some machine that'll break down one day and cost more money for maintenance and replacement. So leave me to do my thing, and I'll leave you to yours,"

"Okay... but,"

"Jerry," Beth called out, and her tone was enough to keep Jerry from continuing this conversation,

After breakfast was finished, everyone except for Rick and I soon left for their jobs and school while I just waved goodbye to them and went to the couch for a power nap.

As soon as I lay down, Snuffles, the family dog, hopped onto the couch, walked right onto my stomach, and napped much like I do.

Being alone in the house is quite normal for me since I've learned to live with it. However, it doesn't mean I have responsibilities such as receiving parcels, handling daily chores, and caring for Snuffles since he can be a handful of trouble.

These responsibilities aside, it was peaceful living in the Smith Residence.

That is until Rick came around as well as toward the couch, "Hey, Nephew of Jerry's. I need your help with something,"

"Fuck off," I calmly said with my eyes closed,

"Seriously? Y-You're like the only one who doesn't have anything better to do," Rick complained, "The only person who hasn't gone out to school and shit,"

"As I said to your sober self, fuck off," I repeated,

"God, it's no wonder why I can't convince you to do anything," Rick remarked, "You're more firm and straightforward than Morty. Are you even related to Jerry at all?"

"Regrettably, yes," I said, not batting an eye on Rick, "Now fuck off, I'm trying to make up for my lost hours because of your lucrative shenanigans, Rick"

"Fine, I'll just go and pick up Morty then," Rick declared and used his portal gun to transport himself from the house to Morty's school,

I didn't care in the slightest especially when the consequence of taking Morty out of school at this time of day would earn Jerry and Beth's disapproval and subsequently kick Rick out of the house. Regardless of whether he goes or not, it didn't matter to me none.

So, I just laid down on that couch and slept rather than nap for the rest of the day.

About an hour later, my watch began to beep and I weary opened my eyes to look at it. Rick had dragged Morty out of school into one of his shenanigans called 'Adventures' and groaned at the mere thought of their situation.

After a minute or so, I decided to just go with it as gently carried Snuffle off of my chest and went to Rick's Garage.

I then rummaged my way through his stuff and started working on Rick's chemical formula for Portal Fluid.

It took some time since I had to study Rick's perspective in portal chemistry and I may have failed in a few attempts since there were some flaws in the mix as well as the equations.

Eventually, I succeeded in making said fluid after one final test. But it can only go one way since only Rick truly knows how to make Portal Fluid.

After I've poured the fluid into a small slot in my watch, I locked onto Morty's coordinates since he's the one who's in trouble, aimed my watch towards the wall, and opened a portal.

I then rummaged my way through Rick's arsenal and picked up his laser gun and a few rounds since I didn't take their troubles too seriously and walked right through the portal with a deadpan look on my face.

Rick and Morty ran as they were being chased by a hostile predator of the dimension and the former stated that they were going to die.

However, that wasn't going to happen as the two saw the portal open just meters ahead of them and I soon popped right out and shot the alien right into its mouth.

As it shrieked, I kept walking and shooting at it until I emptied the magazine, and loaded a second. After several shots, the alien finally falls to its knees, and lets out a weakened whimper, and I execute it by pressing the barrel against its eye and pulling the trigger.

Soon, Rick and Morty walked right behind me and they stared down at the deceased predator before them.

"I-Is it dead?" Morty asked,

I sighed and kicked the upper part of its lips to prove that it was dead and not playing dead, "Dead as a doornail,"

"Huh, and I thought you'd go out and sleep through the day? What changed your mind," Rick said, looking rather unconvinced by my rescue,

"The first is Morty, and the second is the disturbance of my watch," I stated, "You may think that I did this because I care, well you're dead wrong. The last thing I want is for Mom to feel worried about how she lost her son to an alcoholic grandfather,"

Rick just rolled his eyes, especially when I called his daughter 'Mom' instead of 'Beth. This is due to how Beth treats me at home.

"But now that I'm here, let's just get this adventure done by whatever book you've made and we can all go home alive," I said as I walked past the two,

Morty just glanced at his grandfather and saw him shrug his shoulders before walking to him. He'd followed them after there wasn't any room to discuss the matter.

As they walk, Rick tries to convince Morty to take in the scenery and air of this dimension while the latter points out that he shouldn't be in school. I paid no attention to them as I consider other dimensions dangerous especially when we're nowhere near any alien civilization.

While wandering, we soon spotted a wild alien of unknown origin and Rick thoroughly explained the obvious unknown to his grandson as well as kept his eyelids wide open. After Morty understood that they were surrounded by monsters and his wishes to leave this place, Rick shushed him and then brought him towards the cliff's edge.

I went and saw a grove of Mega trees growing Megafruits, which Rick desires from this adventure. Rick then pulled out a pair of boots and explained the details, "They're Sp... Special grappling shoes. When you're wearing these things... Ba... these babies, you can just walk on any surface you want, Morty... Up, down, below, turn around to the left,"

"Rick, the word 'grapple' already describes the function of these shoes. So don't go over the other details," I stated,

But before Rick could say anything to me, Morty had tried to use these shoes by the cliff face, then he ends up screaming which brought our immediate attention, "Holy fuck!"

While I expressed great shock over Morty's fall, Rick was the complete opposite, "You have to turn them on, Morty! The shoes have to be turned on!"

"Really, Rick?! You just have to tell him that after he fell?!" I yelled,

"What? He was the one who took the first step. So don't blame me for his injuries," Rick retorted,

"You're un-fucking-believable!" I yelled, then proceeded to climb down the cliff

"Aren't you going to need my shoes?" Rick asked, "C-Coz, I have a spare,"

"Save it for yourself, I know you only carry two," I said,

"You're right, I only have two in me," Rick admitted while putting on the last pair of shoes into his boots,

The two then descended from the cliff to catch up with Morty at the bottom. As soon as reached him, he was moaning from the excessive amount of pain, and his legs were bent and broken in several places.

Once again, Rick explained that the boots should be turned on for their function. But I shut him up by yelling, "Rick! Shut the fuck up!"

"Sheesh, attitude. You didn't have to yell," Rick retorted, but didn't seem offended by my tone of voice, "Anyway, Morty. You think you'll still be able to help me *burps* collect my seeds, Morty?"

"Are you kidding me?!" Morty yelled, "That's it, Rick! That's the last straw! I can't believe this... I'm sitting here with both of my legs broken, and you're still asking me about getting those seeds?! Ooh! Ow! Oh! Y-y-you're a monster. You're like Hitler, but even Hitler cared about Germany or something,"

"To be frank, Morty. Hitler cared about his country in his own way. Rick is more like someone who truly doesn't care until it hits him in the face, hard..." I stated while the term 'hard' is where I sneered at him,

"Alright, Alright. Hold on just a second, you two," Rick said, pulled out his portal gun, and opened a portal for him to walk right through.

Morty lay there moaning and panting from the extreme pain while I groaned before staring at the Mega Trees. I wouldn't be able to help Morty since I don't have my kit with me and any means of straightening his legs would result in him going into shock and possibly death.

Hence, he only had to wait for Rick's return. On cue, he arrives with a syringe in hand and injects the serum into Morty's leg. Seconds later, Morty's legs began to help on their own and I just watched the entire process.

"Wow, Rick," Morty remarked as he sat up, and stood as if he had never broken his legs from the fall, "That stuff just healed my broken legs instantly, I mean, I've never felt so good in my life, Thank you,"

"Don't worry about it, Morty," Rick dismissed as he kept his eyes on the prize, "Just come help me get these seeds, Morty,"

"Sure thing, Rick," Morty agreed and turned on his boots,

I, on the other hand, did nothing as I watched Morty collect some Mega Fruits from the tree. Rick, on the other hand, began explaining the origins of the serum, which belonged to a future dimension where everything was medically advanced that they'd sell such serums in all drug stores.

Though Morty expresses some disbelief, Rick continues as he mentions a problem. The dimension had managed to halt the aging process and Rick's old age had caught a lot of attention. He then added that he had interacted with a lot of young girls from that dimension.

That's when he revealed that after spending a lot of time there, his portal gun had run out of charge as he threw the open Mega Fruit on the ground.

"Oh, geez, Rick, that's not good," Morty frantically said, "W-what are we gonna do? I-I have to be back at school right now. How are we going to get back?"

"There are ways to get back home, Morty. It's just... It's just gonna be a little bit of a hassle," Rick said as he picked up the mega seeds, "We're gonna have to go through Interdimensional Customs,"

"Interdimensional Customs? Great... Now I'm starting to think that I shouldn't have come here," I remarked as I have some level of disdain towards alien bureaucracy,

"See, Morty. It's a hassle, just as Marcus said," Rick remarked, "So... You're gonna have to do me a real solid,"

"Uh-oh," Morty mouthed with concern,

"When we get to Customs, I'm gonna need you to take these seeds into the bathroom, and I'm gonna need you to put them way up inside your butthole, Morty" Rick explained,

"In my butt?" Morty repeated with confusion,

"Now I'm beginning to regret coming here," I remarked as I pinched the bridge of my nose,

Morty doesn't want to do what he was told, but Rick persuades him to do it as these seeds will not go through Interdimensional Customs unless they're inside someone's rectum. He also pointed out that he couldn't do it because he had done it multiple times that they'll fall out as well as Morty's youth.

That's when Morty glanced at me as he held onto the Mega Seeds, "W-What about Marcus, maybe he can do it?"

"I'd ask, but he won't, Morty. I doubt he'll even do it because he's such a selfish prick who wouldn't take seeds up his butt, and I doubt they'll last in him for very long," Rick pointed out,

"First off, Fuck you. Second, there's no way in all hells of the multiverse I'm taking things into or off my ass," I angrily listed, and then I turned to Morty, "Especially Pointy Mega Seeds,"

Without any other choice in the matter, Morty agrees much to Rick's glee and the trio makes their way to Interdimensional Customs on foot.

Harry Herpson Highschool (3rd POV)

Principal Vagina had called Beth and Jerry about Morty's performance and attendance. Morty had only attended a total of seven hours in class for the past two months.

Beth asked why he hasn't notified them, and that's when Principal Vagina revealed that he had been notifying them through Rick instead of them directly.

"Boom! Told you! In your face! He's ruining our child," Jerry exclaimed in pure triumph about being right, only to become confused by what he was saying, "Wait, what am I celebrating?"

Principal Vagina continues his explanation regarding Morty and his grandfather and Beth would spot Summer and a few others mourning over a funeral area. Principal Vagina revealed that it was an incident where a student was frozen to death and he exclaimed that there was no evidence that a Latino Student did.

His reasons for his exclamation were everyone in school wanted to take this to a racial place, and he wouldn't let them.

Then he asked a different question in mind, "That reminds me, How is your son, Marcus, faring lately?"

"Marcus? Well, he's fine and hasn't decided on where he'll go to college," Beth said, not minding the fact that Principal Vagina called him her 'son' instead of being Jerry's nephew, "Right now, he's been doing house chores and such,"

"Ah, I see... He was a bright student, he is. Like a literal bright student," Principal Vagina remarked with nostalgia, "A lot of students and teachers look up to him with his performance and personality. After his accident, he acted differently rather than his usual self,"

That was the one thing Beth didn't know, how could someone like Marcus turn out the way he is now? She never knew why, and Jerry felt the same way when she glanced at him. Rather than press on the matter, she needed to focus on Morty before Marcus.

Interdimensional Customs (Marcus' POV)

Every second I spend in this place feels intolerable since I'm not fond of their laws. If I were to compare it to Earth's laws, they're much more toleratable than the laws of the Galactic Federation.

"The Glarp Zone is for flarping and unglarping only," A Public Service Worker said through the intercom,

I sighed to myself and waited by the bathroom where Morty is in the middle of shoving the Mega Seeds into his butt. As soon as he came out, Morty was rubbing onto his rear due sheer discomfort of those seeds,

I just stayed beside him and took him to where Rick was, " I don't like it here, you two. I can't abide by bureaucracy. I don't like being told where to go and what to do. I consider it a violation,"

"I'd tolerate bureaucracy, as long as it doesn't make me do something I hate," I remarked,

"Yeah, sure," Rick said as he dismissed my opinion, "Did you get those seeds all the way up your butt?"

"Yeah, Rick. Let's just get this over with, okay? These things are pointy, they hurt," Morty said,

"That means they're good ones," Rick remarked, "You're a good kid, Morty. Those Mega Seeds are super valuable to my work. You've been a huge help to me,"

"I somehow doubt that, Rick," I remarked, "If anything, these things will be your own gain,"

"That's the point, I'm going to be able to do *burps* all kinds of things with them," Rick said, "It's gonna be great, you two! All kinds of science,"

I rolled my eyes as we walked towards the inspection section, "Okay, Next Through. Except you. You go over there,"

"Why does he have to go over there?" Rick questioned,

"Random check. He's got to go through the new machine," The Gromflomite Guard explained,

"What new... *burps* What new machine?" Rick inquired,

"It's a new machine. It detects stuff up your butt," The Gromflomite Guard revealed,

With that, the plan was foiled and Rick grabbed Morty by his shirt, "Run, Morty! Run!"

Rick shoved the Gromflomite Guard into the floor as he and Morty ran. I would follow them but readied Rick's pistol in case we ran into any other guards ahead of our escape.

On the way, Rick pushes a tank filled with a green liquid substance and a small alien onto a Gromflomite. Their next obstacle was an alien pushing a hover-cart filled with small alien organisms.

Morty would leap beneath the cart while Rick and I vaulted over. When I glanced from behind, I saw a Gromflomite guard get taken by tentacles and pulled into the cart to be devoured.

We'd take a right turn and Morty was screaming throughout the run while I often turn and shoot at our pursuers. But as we ran, Morty had inhaled some alien substance from a large smoking alien and Rick tumbled and slapped said alien into crying.

Morty was coughing from the smoke, then he spat something small that rapidly aged from a newborn to an elderly man before succumbing to a heart attack from all its running. He panicked while Rick told him to not think about it.

After we took another turn, the doors in front of us closed and we were soon caught up by our pursuers with guns at the ready.

Morty acts quickly by turning on his shoes, and running up the wall while Rick follows and praises him for learning on the fly. Some of the Gromflomites unfurled their wings and pursued the two while four remained as I was left behind.

I wasn't angry at them, rather I felt calm as I checked that my weapon was empty and pocketed it since it belonged to Rick.

"Hands up and drop to your knees!" A Gromflomite Guard yelled,

"Like hell, I'd listen to you," I stated, and threateningly took one step forward,

This prompted one of the Gromflomite Guards to shoot me, and I immediately fell on my back.

(3rd POV)

With Marcus lying on the ground, the Gromflomite Guards lowered their arms and one of them decided to inspect him. To see if he was alive, and all.

As soon as that Gromflomite got too close, Marcus opened his eyes wide and grasped the Gromflomite by the neck. He then pressed the soles of his feet against the floor and rose as if he were a vampire that had awakened from his coffin.

The other Gromflomites raised their guns as he stood tall, but hesitated in pulling the trigger as they didn't want to hurt one of their own in the crossfire. The choking Gromflomite desperately clutched onto Marcus' arm to struggle from his grip, but all was futile when he crushed its neck and its body went limp before being cast aside.

Moments later, Marcus growled and his human teeth had changed into sharp ones, his nails suddenly grew claws, and his eyes donned slit-like pupils.

Eventually, one of the Gromflomites terrifyingly stated, "Oh fuck, POLYMORPH!"

Just as they fired, Marcus snarled before lunging himself at the second Gromflomite with abnormal strength in his legs and sunk his sharp teeth into its neck. As he pulled, he tore through its throat and spat the piece before taking a few shots with their blasters.

This meant nothing as Marcus' skin was somehow resistant to blaster shots and he retaliated by grabbing the deceased's laser rifle and throwing it hard on the third Gromflomite. It killed the Gromflomite as Marcus' strength was beyond human and half of the barrel went through its chest.

The Last Gromflomite decided to grow its gun and escape by hair. But Marcus jumps right up and catches it before tearing its wings right off. Moments later, he'd used his claws to tear through the Gromflomite's back as it screamed in agony and soon died due to excessive blood loss.

By the end of it all, Marcus had panting through his nose and his genetic alternation reverts to its original human feature.

As he stood on top of the dead Gromflomite, he stared into his bloodied hands and noticed some trembling since he practically let himself go feral on the poor alien. Galactic or not, they didn't deserve such an atrocious end.

But he wouldn't care as he grabbed the gun that remained intact and went to find Rick and Morty before they left him behind for good...

(Marcus' POV)

By following the Gromflomites shooting as well as the civilians panicking, I managed to find the two by the intergalactic portal gate and rushed towards them.

I would shoot down a few Gromflomites that got in my way and tactically slide towards them as Morty kept firing his gun.

"Rick! How much longer!" I yelled,

"A few seconds! Just keep them back!" Rick answered,

Instead of firing back at the Gromflomites, I let that role fall to Morty's lousy shooting and broke the gun I carried with me.

I took out its power cell, a few wires, and components and crafted a small bomb out of it. By the time I finished in speed, Rick had finished inputting the coordinates towards Earth.

"Come on, you two. We got to get the hell out of here!" Rick yelled as he grabbed Morty by the back of his shirt,

"Go! I'll be right behind you!" I yelled and Rick wasted no chance in dragging Morty into the portal,

While the Gromflomites still kept shooting, I rolled towards the gun that Morty dropped, shot a few more Gromflomites with it, and inputted the exact coordinates that may lead to the house instead of where Rick and Morty may pop out of.

Once the coordinates were set, I planted the bomb onto the control panel, turned it on, and threw the gun toward the Gromflomites before jumping right into the portal.

The bomb soon sets off and it disables the portal gate with an explosion and prevents the Gromflomites from ever going into Earth through said portal.

Smith Residence

A portal soon opened by the living room, and I rolled right in before scanning my surroundings. Once I knew that I was home, I sighed with relief and then stretched my arms around before going upstairs to take a shower as well as wear a new set of clothes after I'd dirtied the one I wore with Gromflomite blood and viscera.

Several minutes later, Beth and Jerry return home with Rick and Morty and a mover's truck outside the house. I'd just walk right in the garage and watch as Jerry and Beth packed Rick's stuff into some boxes.

"You guys should not be touching that stuff. It's beyond your reasoning," Rick said,

"You're beyond our reasoning," Jerry yelled,

"Takes one to know one," Rick shot back,

"Dad, how could you make my son miss an entire semester of school?" Beth questioned, "I mean, it's not like he's a hot girl. He can't just bail on his life and set up shop in someone else's,"

"What... What are you guys doing with my stuff?" Rick asked,

"We moving you... to a nursing home," Beth revealed,

"A nursing home?" Rick rebuked, "What are you... What are you nuts? I'm a genius. I build robots for fun,"

"Well, now you can build baskets and watch Paul Newman movies on VHS and mentally scar the Boy Scouts every Christmas," Jerry stated,

"What does that mean?" Beth inquired,

"It's personal," Jerry responded,

"You know, when you put it like that. It's almost like you belong to a nursing home and not Rick, Jerry," I remarked,

"Marcus, Sweetie, not now," Beth said, and I shut up since I didn't want to make her feel annoyed about me,

Morty tries to reason with them, but Jerry tells him to stay out of it as he isn't capable of judging these situations on his own. This leads to Rick questioning Jerry about Morty's incapability and doubting his intentions.

Beth interjects by stating that Morty is the last child that needs to be missing classes. Rick tries to be oblivious of what she means and asks if she could be specific.

This soon led to Jerry snapping at him, "Oh, for crying out... He's got some kind of disability or something, Is that what you want us to say?"

"I do?" Morty asked,

"Well, duh doy, son," Jerry reassured, then went down to his level, "Look, I love you, Morty, but we both know you're not as fast as the other kids and if you want to compete in this world, you got to work twice as hard,"

"Aw, geez, Dad," Morty mumbled, "Y-You know, that's a lot to drop on a kid all at once,"

With that, Rick suddenly asked Morty to tell his parents about the square root of Pi. At first, Morty seemed confused, but when he asked again, that's when Morty suddenly acted differently and answered the question correctly.

Beth expressed disbelief and Jerry checked to see if he was right. As for me, I looked surprised then I shrugged it off I watched it all unfold.

Rick then asks Morty to explain the first law of Thermodynamics and he gets it right before expressing himself on how smart he has become. Then, Rick began explaining that school is stupid, but he went on with a much smoother and understandable approach.

As soon as he finishes, Beth and Jerry seem convinced but the latter said that Morty has to keep going to school. Rick abides by Jerry's demands and swears that it's going to be 100% honest and open clear communications.

On cue, Summer enters the garage with teary eyes, "Frank Palicky was frozen to death today!"

"No idea what you're talking about," Rick responded without batting an eye on Summer as she left the garage,

With that settled, Jerry reminds Morty of his bedtime and remarks that this'll work and become a family. He then asked for some of Beth's time and she agreed before being taken out of the garage.

Thus, Rick and Morty is left alone and I shut the door, "Holy cow, Rick. I didn't know hanging out with you was making me smarter,"

"Full disclosure, Morty... It's not," Rick revealed, "Temporary superintelligence is just a side effect of the mega seeds dissolving in your rectal cavity,"

"Aw man," Morty said disheartened,

"So much for 100% honesty and open free communication," I rebuked, with arms crossed,

"Yeah, and once those seeds *burps* wear off, you're gonna lose most of your motor skills, and you're also gonna lose a significant amount of brain functionally for 72 hours, Morty," Rick revealed, then checked his watch, "Starting *burps* right about now,"

Just as Morty collapses on the ground and spasms, Rick goes on a full-on rant on Morty, revealing some truth regarding his lies, and his declaration to get more Mega Seeds. Then he began explaining that they'll be going on several more adventures and Morty would keep his mouth shut because the world is full of idiots who don't understand what is important, and they'll tear them apart.

He then explained that as long as he sticks with him, they'll accomplish great things and sometimes he'll involve me with some of their adventures since I'm the only one who isn't in school and all.

What came after was Rick repeating his declaration with various words to Morty as the latter still spasms on the ground and I just sighed before closing the garage door with a push of a button.

By the time Rick finishes, I'd come in and carry Morty onto my shoulder while Rick takes a breather, "I'll be taking him to his bed now, get a bed ready, and make an excuse to keep Morty absent for three days. Just try not to do anything while he recovers,"

With that, the day ends with Morty lying on his bed and I tending to his needs such as food, water, clothes, and even a change of mattresses as Morty unintentionally wets his bed in the process.

That's it for this Episode. But despite this being the beginning, I can already tell that most of you guys have a lot of questions. Such as.

1.) What kind of species is Marcus? Is he even human?

2.) Why is Marcus, Jerry's Nephew instead of Son?

3.) Why is he so cold and vicious compared to the old version of himself?

If you want answers to these, and any other, questions. You should wait as I'll reveal these things in time and all good things come to those who wait.

That is all I have to say, and I'll see you all in the next episode!
