Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here and I am back with another chapter. As you all may know of this chapter, this is where Rick and Morty destroy Earth-Prime by unleashing the airborne virus and the two abandon it and the others to rot with the mutated Cronenberg humans.

I intend to do the same thing as I did in the old, but expect something different compared to what I've done before.

That is all I have to say and enjoy the chapter!

Marcus' POV

As the sun was above the clouds, I was lying between the headstones of my deceased with earphones in my ears, the MP3 Player in my hands, and my eyes closed as I listened to ambient music. Even though the music lasts for a few minutes, it's been looping for a few hours since the morning I came here.

I then felt a tap on my leg and opened one eye to see a cemetery worker with a broom in hand. I'd pause my music and sat up from the ground, "What is it?"

"I'm sorry to bother you and all, I just thought you need something to drink after lying down in the sun for too long," The Cemetery Worker said and offered me a bottle of fresh water,

I'd take it, open the cap, and drink it all down before handing the empty bottle to the cemetery worker, "Thank you,"

He just nodded his head, briefly turned to the headstones, then back to me, "This pain you're feeling. It doesn't pass on so soon, no?"

"Never has..." I replied, and glanced at Aryvana's grave,

"I'd say give it time, but I've seen you come to this cemetery more often than any other person who'd have come to remember their loss," The Cemetery Worker stated,

"Some have said that to me before, yet I still feel like I'm stuck in the past," I said,

"We all get stuck in the past one way or another. but in time, we find someone who will come by and bring us forward," the Cemetery Worker stated,

"I don't doubt that, though why would you include yourself?" I asked,

"I work here to be close to someone I lost, nothing special," The Cemetery Worker revealed, before coughing several times they looked quite distressing since they were long and he clutched onto his chest in the process,

"You don't look well," I remarked,

"Never been well in my late forties," Cemetery Worker clarified,

I gazed upon his chest through my polymorphic eyes and I understood what he was going through, "Lung cancer?"

The Cemetery Worker soon stopped coughing as it settled and cleared his throat a few times, "Who'd you know?"

"Long and painful coughs, chest pains, and let's not forget how you often use that inhaler you carry so often," I summarized,

"Yeah... *cough* *cough* I once thought I'd gone over it. Now it's come back and wants me dead again," the Cemetery Worker remarked, "It's slow, but getting there,"

"I'm sorry," I sympathized,

"Don't be," the Cemetery Worker dismissed, "I've already lost the one I loved to cancer, might as well meet her when mine takes over,"

With that smile on his face, I couldn't help but feel pity over what he was going through. Especially when he's humble enough to pat me on the shoulder a few times. One last look at the headstones of my deceased, I take a breather then I turn back to the Cemetery Worker, "This may be the last time I visit this place regularly. With university around the corner, and all,"

"Really?" The Cemetery Worker questioned,

"Yeah..." I admitted, "Though I'm quite concerned about what lies ahead of me,"

"Then that's good for you," the Cemetery Worker said as he tapped my shoulder, "Be young, be responsible, and most of all... Be happy,"

I suppressed a chuckle, but it's still a chuckle nonetheless. For that, I decided to give the Cemetery Worker a quick pat on the side of his shoulder and used bits of my polymorphic powers not to cure his cancer but to ease his pain in the long run, "When you say it like that... Kinda sounds corny, if I'm being honest,"

The Cemetery Worker openly chuckled upon my response, "I guess it is,"

We soon parted on good terms and went on the next bus back home...

Smith Residence

The night rolled around and I was in the middle of making my own dinner while I eavesdrop on Jerry and Morty's discussion.

"Eh, Try not to worry about it, Morty. You're a good kid," Jerry said as he was making his sandwich, "and there's not a premium on that right now, but you'll be getting girls sometime after Brad's out of shape."

"You're missing the point, Dad. I don't want girls, I want Jessica!" Morty miserably clarified,

"Ahhh, well, I remember feeling that way about a young lady named your mom," Jerry reminisced, while I rolled my eyes at this, "and that's not an urban dis, your mom was my Jessica. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought..."

" I should get her pregnant, then she'll have to marry me," Rick interrupted as he entered the room,

"I beg your pardon, Rick, INAPPROPRIATE," Jerry rudely remarked while pointing at Morty,

" Sorry, please proceed with your story about banging my daughter in high school," Rick sarcastically obliged, "I'm not sure you want to take romantic advice from this guy, Morty, his marriage is hanging from a thread,"

"My marriage is fine, thank you," Jerry angrily remarked,

"Jerry, it's your house, whatever you say it is is how it is," Rick said as he poured some juice on his iceless glass, "but I think a blind man could see that Beth is looking for the door. I barely have a reason to care and even I noticed,"

"Come on, Rick, don't talk about my parents like that," Morty complained,

"Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed," Rick elaborated, "It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it, your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science,"

"Bullshit," I loudly remarked while eating tonight's dinner, and Rick ignored me as usual,

Morty glanced at Rick's back then he turned towards me, "Then what do you think about love, Marcus? What's your opinion out of it?"

"Though it had been explained over brain chemistry. I view Love as a Natural Force of Life. It comes in various forms and is expressed in ways many consider beautiful or downright degrading. Yet, it's a force of nature and it shouldn't be forced," I explained as I finished my dinner, "The reason why Rick is so negative about it is because of the negative outcome of his marriage and Jerry's marriage with Mom,"

"Huh, I never thought you'd see it like that," Morty expressed, "Did you... love someone before?"

"I did..." I said, and shot Jerry a bitter frown, "But she's lost to me now,"

Morty didn't want to pry into the subject, especially when he recognized the look on my face. Instead, he just jumped from his seat, " Alright, well, I'm gonna go get dressed for the dance,"

"Yeah, I'm just going to...check on your mom," Jerry declared as he and Morty went in opposite directions,

Though I'd keep frowning on Jerry for a while, I set my bitterness aside and cleaned up the kitchen. After that, I went to the living room and sat beside Summer. Though I let out a sigh and she turned to me, "You alright, Marcus?"

"I'm fine. It's just that I won't be around so often with me going to University in the next couple of days," I revealed, "You wouldn't mind me gone though, right?"

"In a way... You're a lot better to have around than Dad and Rick," Summer said, "Like the amazing brother I've always wanted,"

"Cousin, Summer. I only call your mother, Mom, because she took me in and cared for me," I clarified, "Still, I appreciate the compliment,"

Moments later, Jerry sat down looking distressed and his eyes on his phone, "She's gonna be alone with that guy all night,"

"Yeah, Dad, digging around the inside of horses. It's not a very romantic setting," Summer rebuked,

"Well, Summer, there's always the possibility that she made the whole work thing up," Rick stated as he entered the living, "Maybe Davin's digging around in her insides,"

"Rick! Learn a fucking filter for once!" I yelled,

"Yeah, Grandpa! So gross, you're talking about our mom," Summer agreed,

"Well, she's my daughter, you two. I outrank you both," Rick clarified, "Or family means nothing, in which case don't play that card,"

I just raised the middle finger just as I snarled at him, while Jerry made a complaint on his phone, "She's not responding to my texts!"

"Careful, Dad. Jealousy turns women off," Summer advised,

"Well, isn't that convenient?" Jerry commented,

"Not for the men they cheat on, no," Rick said,

"Okay, I'm... going to go out... for some ice cream," Jerry declared, "And maybe stop by the hospital... to support my wife... with my confidence,"

"Nice excuse, Jerry. Hope you stop by the gun store," I remarked,

"Whatever, Marcus," Jerry said and walked out the door,

"God, Grandpa, you're such a dick," Summer expressed,

"I'm sorry, Summer. Your opinion means very little to me," Rick said, "How come you're not at this stupid dance everyone loves so much?"

"Screw that. I don't want to get sick. It's flu season," Summer responded,

"It is?" Rick inquired,

"Yeah," Summer clarified,

Rick turns away as revelation hits his head, "Uh-oh,"

"Something bad's happening right now, is there?" I questioned,

"Uh..." Rick stuttered,

"Morty came to you for something, did he?" I guessed with an obvious look on my face,

"Well..." Rick trails off, and I sigh with resignation and go to the garage,

Moments later, I returned to the living room with one of Rick's space rifles and handed it to Summer's hands, "Summer, I want you to hold onto this in case of emergencies while I take Rick to pick up Morty,"

"What for?" Summer asked and set the rifle by her side,

"You'll know," I clarified, and started tugging onto Rick's coat, "Let's go, brains for shit,"

Harry Herpson High School

As we arrived, Rick and I bolted our way to the school gymnasium. Once those doors opened, we saw Morty bruised and his clothes ripped dashing towards our way.

"Morty! Come on!" I yelled and ran past us,

Rick follows after him while barring the door with a fire hose. Once the infected started banging on the door, I ran out to catch up with Rick and Morty. Along the way, Principal Vagina exits his office and chases after us, "Morty! Are you okay!"

"Oh, good. If anything ever happened to you, I would kill myself," Principal Vagina swore, "I love you bad, Mo-Mo!"

"Fuck this shit!" I yelled, ran up to Morty, and picked him up from his feet,

"Y-You aren't going to toss me to them, are you?!" Morty exclaimed,

"Fuck no! Running like this is better!" I yelled,

We passed through a few corridors and hallways and Mr Goldenfold appeared from one of the hallways, "The principal and I have discussed it, a-a-and we're both insecure enough to agree to a three-way!"

As soon as we burst through the doors, I dropped Morty and started wielding the door shut with one of Rick's gadgets. After that, I ran after Rick and Morty just as the glass doors broke,

"I didn't realize when I gave you that serum that Jessica had the flu you know," Rick stated as he entered the space, "t-t-t-t-t-t-t-that might have been valuable information for me, Morty,"

"Yeah, Dick for brains! Very fucking valuable information," I angrily rebuked as Morty and I were the last to board,

"What the hell is going on, Rick?!" Morty distressingly asked as a horde of lovestruck students and teachers around the craft,

"What does it look like? T-t-t-the serum is piggybacking on the virus!" Rick stated and piloted the craft above the air, "It's gone airborne, Morty,"

"Oh, crap. What are we gonna do, Rick?" Morty asked,

"It's gonna be fine, Morty, relax. I whipped up an antidote. It's based on praying mantis DNA," Rick assured as he dropped the vial into a tube,

"Praying mantis? Are you fucking serious, right now, Rick!" I yelled,

"Like you have anything better for this," Rick rebuked, "Besides praying I mean, they they mate once, and then they, you know, decapitate the partner. Mantises are the exact opposite of voles. I mean, it's a whole ritual. It's really gruesome and totally opposite. There's no love at all. I-I-I basically mixed this with a more contagious flu virus. It should neutralize the whole thing. It'll all be over very shortly,"

Rick then pilots the craft and hovers above the crowd below. With one pull of a lever, the serum is released upon the crowd. But Rick had to make one note of an important detail, "Uh, by the way, Morty, I know you didn't ask or anything, but I'm not interested in having sex with you. These serums, don't work on anybody related to you genetically,"

As we looked down, the crowd stopped going after Morty. Then they started mutating into monstrous hybrids of humans and praying mantis. To make matters worse, they are still attracted to Morty.

"Okay, well, sometimes, science is more art than science. A lot of people don't get that," Rick remarked while Morty was horrified by the sight,

I, on the other hand, had a different reaction entirely, "Seriously, Rick?! You didn't fucking think these things through?!"

"What? It's not like I'm the one who asked for this," Rick said, but I'd soon slammed his head against the steering wheel, "Ah! Fuck!"

"Fix the fuck out of this shit, now!" I yelled,

"Alright! Alright! I will, after we go somewhere safe and secluded, Geez," Rick said and piloted the craft somewhere out of the city,

Smith Residence (3rd POV)

Summer remained alone in the house and watched television until the channel was interrupted by breaking news. She soon saw the mutated mantis humans and obsessively looked for Morty's whereabouts.

They soon fought on live television and Summer was freaked out to the point where she changed the challenge and saw that in Iraq, the very same scenario was happening. Mutated mantis humans were looking for Morty.

Summer keeps her legs closed, then she hears banging on the door. She soon grabbed the rifle next to her and aimed at the door. Moments later, the door bursts open and Summer screams before firing the rifle at the first mutated mantis human.

She then ran out with the rifle in hand, killed a few more as they tried to get close, and did whatever she could to survive this nightmare...

Back to Rick, Morty, and Marcus (Marcus' POV)

Having landed at the deserts, Rick is in the middle of making a cure for the virus while Morty and I watch the news. However, I wasn't concerned or happy at the moment since I was standing near the two idiots responsible for this whole mess.

"Oh my god, Rick. The whole world is infected!" Morty exclaimed,

"Yeah, it's pretty wild how fast that spread. I've really outdone myself," Rick commented, which earned a snarl from my side,

"Outdone yourself?! W-w a-are are you kidding me, Rick?" Morty questioned with disbelief, "This is not okay! Not only do they all want to have sex with me, but, you know, now they want to eat me afterward!"

"Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. Mantises are they opposite of voles? I mean, obviously, DNA's a little more complicated than that," Rick commented,

"Oh, a little complicated, is it?! The smartest man in the universe saying it's a little complicated!" I yelled, "You know what I say to that? Bullshit! Complete and utter bullshit!"

"Oh, if that's how you think. Why don't YOU Do it? Use whatever gimmicks and gadgets you have at your disposal and fix this whole thing then," Rick argued, "Or maybe y-y-you could use your godly powers to cure cancer and shit!"

"First off, I'm powerful, not omnipotent. Second, I can't do shit against mutated freaks like those people! Third, I'm not the type of person who messes with genetics. And lastly, this whole mess is your FUCKING FAULT!" I yelled through the last part where I showed a distorted yet threatening voice,

"Whoa!" Morty exclaimed, and Rick just stared into my eyes,

"Some alien you are," Rick rebuked, "And for the record, I'm not afraid to disclose that information to Morty. So why do you two talk it out while I work this antidote here,"

I just sighed before pressing the bridge of my nose. Then I turned to Morty and he looked rather concerned but curious, "Marcus... What does he mean by that,"

"It means, Morty..." I struggled, and then I took him a few feet away from Rick's workplace, "It means that I'm alien myself..."

"An alien?" Morty questioned,

"Yes, Morty. But polymorphs are made differently than the average species you and Rick have encountered in your adventures," I explained, then demonstrated my polymorphic powers by transforming my arm into variations of alien arms, "I'm like the whole package of aliens properly fused into one box and I can become anything I want to be,"

"So... You could be anything if you want to?" Morty inquired,

"Not just anything, Morty," I then changed myself to make a copy of Morty, I even copied his voice as well, "I could be anyone too. Rick, Beth, Summer, Even your Jessica,"

"Whoa... My cousin's an alien," Morty mouthed,

"Yeah," I said and reverted to my original appearance, "And that is exactly the kind of reaction I'd get from you,"

"Alright, you two. This right here's gonna do the trick, baby. It's koala mixed with rattlesnake, chimpanzee, cactus, shark, golden retriever, and just a smidge of dinosaur. " Rick said as he brought up another vial to them, "Should add up to normal humanity,"

"I don't that doesn't make any sense, Rick. How does that add up to normal humanity?" Morty questioned,

"What, Morty, you want me to show you my math? I'm sorry a-are you the scientist or are you the kid that wanted to get laid?" Rick questioned,

"Okay, enough!" I yelled, "Let's just fix your fuck here and now and we can go with our normal lives or not," I angrily stated,

With that, all three of us board the ship, Rick puts in the vial and pilots the craft back to the city where we hope that this antidote will cure humanity or not at all. But not after I stated the following, "If any of you two try and say anything, I will punch either of you, and I mean it,"

The proof I have of that face is my knuckles growing razor spikes which caused Morty to gulp in fear and eye roll for Rick.

City...

As we flew over the city, Rick pulled the lever and released the antidote all over the townsfolk. When the gas dissipates, the mutated mantis humans somehow revert into normal humans again.

"W-what do we have here? Looks like I was right and you two were wrong, huh? I-I-I-I-I-I-I bet you both feel pretty stupid right about now, huh?" Rick gloated, "I-I-I bet you feel like the world's smallest man and wussy alien that you were doubting me about this whole thing,"

"Oh, Rick, something's not right," Morty commented as he looked down the streets,

"Yeah, you. You're not right ever," Rick remarked,

"No, dipshit! Look!" I yelled, grabbed Rick, and had him lean toward the glass,

The antidote Rick made had caused people below to mutate once more. Only this time, they weren't humans but a totally different species. And if it was like this here, the whole world may as well have been affected and humanity is now lost in this world.

"Bet you're loving this, Morty. This must be the best day of your life. You get to be the mayor of I told you town," Rick stated, "You're welcome,"

I just glared at Rick and he knew what this meant but did nothing as I started slamming his head against the steering wheel several times for concocting such as flawed antidote. Morty wasn't spared as well as I slammed his head against the dashboard for asking for such a potion in the first place.

Minutes Later

Landing on top of the roof, Rick and Morty were groaning in pain and hands on their bruised heads while I was the last one to step out and started kicking the hell out of the spacecraft several times, "STUPID! PIECES! OF! SHITS!"

I then whipped my head to the both of them, "Thanks to you, you fucks! The world has gone to hell and everyone I know besides my family has been mutated into a fucking mutated mess! All I want from both of you is to fix this shit. SO THAT I CAN GO TO A FUCKING UNIVERSITY!"

"Oh, boy. You really set him off, this time, Morty," Rick rebuked, "Agh, damn..."

"Shut up, Rick," Morty demanded while hissing on his bruised face,

I took several steps away from the two, took several deep breaths, and calmed my anger towards the men responsible for this mess. Though it hasn't faded, I was still rational enough to turn them and cross my arms together, "Over the months of being together with you two, I have overlooked all of your sci-fi shit and nonsense because it didn't bother me in the slightest. But on this scale of disaster, I've decided that I'm done with both of you,"

"Done with us, huh?" Rick said, "Yeah, you made that point very clear after you had us smacked against the dashboard,"

"But when I say I'm done... I mean going to kill you both now," I declared, turning my eyes glowing red in fury, and cracks formed all over my body, "By shredding you both with an immeasurable amount of teeth"

Morty becomes visibly worried for his safety and hides behind Rick while the latter shares the same opinion as he takes a step back just as I took a step forward. What followed was my entire body opening before them like a Venus flytrap and I let out an inhumane shriek at them with razor-sharp teeth ready for the kill...

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!" Morty exclaimed as he and Rick were nearing the edge,

"Okay! Okay! You've made your point!" Rick admitted, "We both screwed up! And we won't apologize for it! So how about you go back to being human while I solve the real problem!"

"AnD WHaT PRobLeM iS ThaT?" I inhumanely questioned while taking another step further,

"I've got this thing in the car in case of emergencies and if you'll let us. It'll solve the problem to it all," Rick said, "Just give me a few minutes, I'll be done then,"

I stopped, and we stared at each other for several minutes. After that, I reverted to my human form but maintained a death glare at the two, "A Few Minutes, Make it quick before I change my mind,"

"Alright," Rick said, went to the car, opened a compartment, and fastly handed Morty a back of some sort, "Here, Morty. Put this one while I do a bit of scouting,"

Rick puts on some goggles and starts typing on his keyboard while Morty straps the bag onto his back. I, on the other hand, just watched them with a glare, crossed arms, and foot tapping in the same manner as the seconds went by...

Moments later, Rick finished his scouting, removed his goggles, and pulled out the same bag as Morty from the compartment and a portal gun from his lab coat. That's when I knew what this solution was, "You're going to abandon this reality for another, aren't you?"

"What?!" Morty exclaimed,

"No, We're going to go to another reality to find the real cure for all this, bring it back here, and use it to turn these Cronebergs back into their human form," Rick explained, "There's an infinite dimension with possibilities. I just did some scouting to find the right one and we'll be on our way, how's that sound,"

I just frowned since I knew this was a lie as clear as day. But when I turned to the streets of the Cronebergs, I closed my eyes with acceptance then opened them to turn to Rick and Morty, "Sure whatever, just get go on with it already,"

Rick nodded, opened the portal, and he and Morty went right through it. Though Rick gave one glance at me and we both knew that this is for the best given how they screwed up this world. Once the portal closed, I walked towards the edge of the building, sensed the location of my family, and unfurled wings from my back.

I then turned to the craft that Rick built, pushed it off the edge, and watched it crash to the ground before pushing myself off the roof and flying toward the location of my family.

Dimension C-131 (3rd POV)

In this dimension's earth, the epidemic had been averted and everyone was back in their human form. Rick's ship is landing by the driveway and the occupants, Rick, Morty, and Marcus disembark.

"Wow, Rick, I got to say you really pulled a rabbit out of your hat this time," Morty C-131 praised, "I mean, I-I really thought that the whole place was gonna be messed up for good, but here, you did it y-y-you-you-you figured out that crazy solution like you always do. Whoo! That's some great luck."

"Come on, Morty. Luck had nothing to do with it. I'm great. That's the real reason," Rick C-131 modestly said, "Now, Morty, what do you say, buddy? Will you hand me a screwdriver so I can finish my ionic defibulizer?"

"Sure thing, Rick," Morty C-131 obliged, and handed the screwdriver, "Here's a screwdriver,"

"All right, Morty. Thank you very much," Rick C-131 thanked, then he turned to Marcus C-131, "What about you, Marcus? You want to lend a hand in this?"

"Nah, I'm good. You guys do your thing while I get myself a snack, or sleep on the couch," Marcus C-131 insisted and went inside,

"Fine, if you say so," Rick C-131 said,

Kitchen (Marcus C-131's POV)

I first went to the fridge and grabbed an untouched snack bar. I'd ripped the top part of the wrapper and was about to take a bite until I heard and flinched an explosion from the garage.

"What the..." I muttered and went back to the garage. There, I widened my eyes as I was stunned by the garage covered with soot and Rick and Morty were lying on opposite sides of the workbench dead from the explosion, "Oh... Shit,"

Just then a portal opened, and I turned to see another Rick and Morty arrive from another dimension, "All right, Morty, here we are,"

These two would gaze at me, and this Rick and Morty would express the same expression as I do before the former parroted the same words, "Oh... Shit, I had hope no one saw come in here,"

Morty just blinked at me a few times, then he set his eyes on the bodies next before panicking, "Oh, my god, Rick! Is that us?! W-w-w-we're dead! What is going on, Rick? I'm freaking out!"

What followed was Rick focusing his attention on his Morty to calm down and I just stared at them. After I was over it, I immediately caught their attention, "Enough! I get that you're freaking out, Morty. I really do, but can any of you two at least tell me what's going on and why do you two look like a mess for some reason,"

"Huh, you seem reasonable. Fine, I'll tell you," Rick said, "We destroyed our realities with the same virus, replace ourselves with the ones that died here,"

"Rick?! I thought you said we were going here for a cure?!" Morty exclaimed,

"Yeah, well. I lied, and I never want to go back to your Marcus as he wanted to kill us for screwing up. I mean, look at this Marcus here, he seems more reasonable than the one you know before," Rick elaborated,

"B-But what about my Mom, Dad, and Summer? About them in the reality we left behind?!" Morty questioned,

"What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is don't think about it," Rick argued, "It's not like we can do this every week, anyways. We get three or four more of these, tops,"

"Alright! Alright! Enough!" I yelled, "This is clearly the most fucked day I have ever been in, so I might as well live with it,"

"Well, aren't you taking all this too well? Sure you're okay with us taking over your dead Rick and Morty?" Rick questioned,

"I'm completely aware of the constant danger and shit my Rick and Morty pull through, so I might as well settle with what I have now," I stated, went to pick up some shovels, and handed them to them before picking up my dead Morty into my arms, "Now how about you tell me more about this shit after we buried these bodies in the backyard. It's not like there's another place for them to be buried in any way,"

Rick and Morty just glanced at each other, then started moving the dead Rick's body to the backyard.

What followed was a grueling stare from Morty as he stared at his dead self, and then three dug the last hole before throwing the corpses in. After that, we put the dirt back onto their carcasses. Once those two were buried, I flattened the dirt properly and went to Morty's side, "If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm your guy. Alright?"

Morty just nodded, and the three of them back to the house. Though Morty still remains ever so traumatized by what was done as he passed by his arguing parents. I then sat and lay on the recliner of the living room with Summer still looking down at her phone, Rick drinking a can of soda with a foot on the table, and Morty staring at the two for a brief period before sitting on the last space of the sofa.

He just stared and blinked aimlessly at everything that's unfolded in his life here and the reality he has left behind...

Bonus Scene (3rd POV)

It didn't take long for Marcus to find his family in this post-apocalyptic world. When he met them, they initially thought that he abandoned them much like Rick and Morty did to them. But Marcus talked them out of it and assured them that he no longer had any time with either of them.

For that, Beth and Jerry accepted him and, in turn, Marcus began to feel more open to them especially when it revolved around a secret of his.

"Summer, can you leave that box for a moment?" Marcus inquired,

"Uh... Sure," Summer complied and stepped out of the box,

After that, Marcus waved his hand towards the box and changed into a working television. Which baffled Beth, Summer, and Jerry.

"Whoa, how did you do that?" Beth asked,

"When you're born from a powerful alien and kind human, their kids often possess powers of the former," Marcus revealed, "As for shows and movies, I can happily provide with just a tap of my finger. The best part is that there aren't any commercials to be had,"

The television turns on and shows a movie for the family to watch...

"You've been holding this power of yours out on us?" Jerry inquired,

"Yes, Jerry. Until Rick and Morty outright abandoned us, I had my reasons for hiding my powers" Marcus explained without any more bitterness toward him, "Now, I no longer have any and I want nothing more but to keep this family safe and happy,"

The three just smiled at how open Marcus had become, and Beth happily sighed as she leaned against Jerry's shoulder, "Now this feels more like family getting together..."

As for Summer, she felt happy that she no longer needed to rehearse versions of movies or shows. But knowing a bit more about Marcus' powers, she acted like a curious teenager and inched her way to Marcus' side before asking, "So... What else you could do with your powers?"

Marcus just rolled his eyes but smiled before providing a few details and demonstrations to Summer.

That is it for this chapter, you guys! As for what comes next, it's Raising Gazorpazorp then comes the next set of original chapters and the last set of episodes of season 1. Don't expect Season 2 to come out soon. Because there are a lot of things I need to sort out such as the other fanfics and the new upcoming fanfic I'll be working on soon.

I know all of you have noticed that I've made a lot of stories. But I want to let you all know that some of those will be deleted because I'm never working on those stories again. I won't tell you which one, but I assure you that it isn't the old Rick and Morty Fanfic Story.

Oh, and lastly. I want your opinion on this random thought of mine that I asked with another Rick and Morty Author, Vgn Golley. If his OC, Leslie the Draconian, and my OC, Marcus Smith the Polymorph, are pitted into a fight. Who would win? I don't want any arguments and I don't mean any offense to Vgn Golley especially if they read this part of the Author's Notes.

Now that that's out of the way, it's time to reply to a few reviews of the last chapter.

lukeanimelover: You're welcome but don't expect the same to happen when I work on the original set of episodes for the story.

Gamelover41592: Indeed, Perfect Revenge for Mr. Jelly Bean after his attempt on Morty.

That is all I for the reviews and I'll see you all in the next episode!

Crescent Rider has signed out...
