Rick noticed Morty would occasionally go missing for hours at a time. He would reappear humming happily as he went to take a shower then go to his room. Rick let this go for some time. He even let it go when he noticed his portal gun had occasionally gone missing as well. It always seemed to turn up when Morty came back. He figured if Morty wanted to use the portal gun on occasion, he should be able too.

It would be five months later when Rick went to grab his portal gun to find it missing that he finally decided to confront Morty. "Morty!" Rick yelled. No answer. Rick left the garage, "Morty!"

Beth looked over to see her father, "He just stepped outside a minute ago."

"Did he say where he was going?"

"No."

"This has gone far enough."Rick grumbled walking to the door. He quickly left watching as Morty was walking down the street. Rick followed Morty from far behind. Morty turned to walk into the woods. Rick still followed. Then Morty pulled out the portal gun.

The portal stayed open long enough for Rick to be able to jump in. He should have known Morty wouldn't know how to make the portal stop working once he was through.

To Rick's amazement a large dome was in front of him. Morty walked inside, seeming to not notice that Rick had followed. He lost track of Morty once he was inside, there were halls leading in all different directions, he was having a hard time navigating through the halls. He walked into a large room with a screen on the wall. Rick walked up to a the side of the wall that was all window, it over looked the forest.

"You like the view?" Rick turned to see Morty standing at the door.

"There's a lot of trees." Rick stated. "Real estate is all about location and I don't think this is in the best spot. I don't like trees."

"You know, I'm going to take over the world. Soon our dimension will look like this one. No one will live in our dimension; the trees will take over once again on our Earth too." Morty said as he watched Rick look around. "I found this Earth where people died thousands of years ago. It's so beautiful."

Rick was playing with one of the computers. "Someone's been busy."

"Yeah, you like?"

Rick looked around, "The monitor is a little too big for my liking."

"Well Rick, I was going to wait another month before I asked you to see this place."

"You do this all on your own Morty? That's impressive for someone who can't talk to girls."

"Yeah, I am quite impressive. I also worked on your megaseed juice. I now think better and don't have to look drunk while taking it. I improved it beyond your understanding."

"If you perfected the juice, then why don't you just make your own portal gun?"

"I'll admit, I can't figure it out. I can make a teleporter gun but I can't figure out the logistics behind dimension hopping. But no big deal. I have this one." Morty pulled out Rick's portal gun to show it.

"Morty, this is all nice, but I think it's time to go back. I need you to come with while I go grab…"

Morty cut him off. "Maybe you haven't noticed Rick, I changed everything! I created a new place! I'm not going back to being the sidekick. I'm the main character now."

"Well Morty, I'm bigger than you, so I'll just drag you back if I have to."

Morty pulled out a laser gun from his back pocket, "Not so soon Rick."

"Woah Morty, don't do anything you're gonna regret."

"Now go over to that table and sit down."

"Okay, okay." Rick put his hands in front of him. He started to walk by Morty then kicked his foot out, knocking the gun out of Morty's hands. Morty attempted to punch Rick. Rick moved away from Morty. Quickly punching the young teen square in the face. Morty fell to the ground. After the initial shock of being punched, Morty grabbed his grandfather's legs as Rick started to run for the fallen gun, making him trip. Rick fell hitting this corner of his mouth onto a metal table. He turned and started to kick at the youth until he let go.

Rick ran for the gun, snagging it.

Morty was laying on the ground out of breath. He felt blood pooling in his mouth as he spat out a tooth. Morty knew Rick would know how to fight, but he didn't realize he would be this good. He looked up when he heard his laser gun being revved. Morty looked into the eyes of Rick who was staring emotionlessly at Morty. He watched as Rick spat blood out of his mouth onto the floor next to Morty.

"Go ahead Rick! Pull the trigger!" Morty yelled at Rick. They stood in silence for several seconds. Morty punched the ground, screaming, "I know you don't care about me! Just go find a new Morty to do your bidding! Leave me alone."

Rick just stood staring at him. He scratched his neck then reached into his pocket with his free hand, grabbing his flask.

"Do it you bastard! What are you waiting for?" Morty yelled.

Rick unscrewed the flask silently with his free hand while keeping his gun pointed at Morty.

Finally a tear betrayed Morty as it fell down his face. Morty looked away, it wasn't like Rick cared about him. Morty didn't want to die while crying, he had to be strong.

That's what Rick was waiting for, the tear. The sadness. The realization that Morty was still human, he wasn't too far gone. Rick knew he could help Morty once he saw the tear.

Finally Morty heard the gun drop to the ground. Morty looked at the gun in confusion. The gun was on the ground with Rick kneeling next to it. Morty was about to speak when Rick grabbed him and brought him in for a hug. "It's okay Morty." Rick pat Morty on the head. "It's okay. I can help you."

Morty felt himself shaking from the sudden hug. Those simple words, it's okay were ringing in his ears. But he knew Rick was lying. He would force Morty back to his wretched life of following Rick and being forced into a life he hated. He knew what he had to do."Rick."

Rick kept his arms wrapped around Morty as he rubbed the teen's back, "Let's go home. We will go back to normal before all this. We will never speak of…" Rick stopped when he felt the hard metal of the gun to his gut. Rick loosened his hug, looking down at his stomach, "Morty."

"Ricks don't care about Mortys." Morty said firing the gun before Rick could stop him.

Rick fell back clutching his stomach. "Morty…why…"

"You want me to give up my chance at a happy life, a chance at a life where I can finally be free to think. To go back to being ignorant? Do you think that's an option? You don't grace a being with intelligence and then take it away!" Morty stood over him with the gun, he set it to paralyze Rick instead of killing him. "I'm sorry Rick. I just…I can't go back to being ignorant. I need to learn. I need to be able to think. If I keep you as you are, you'll…you'll stop me. I know you will."

"Knowledge isn't everything Morty." Rick yelled attempting to stand up, he had to get past the pain. "You think it is now because you are young. One day you'll look at everything you don't have, everything you lost and realize you have nothing but yourself to blame."

"You're wrong Rick! I know you're wrong!"

"How do you know anything you're just a kid!" Rick spat. Damn it hurt a lot.

Morty aimed the gun at Rick's chest, "Because. I'm not you. I'll never be like you!" Then he fired the gun. The old man fell to the ground on his back, paralyzed, blood from his wound was starting to pool in his mouth. Morty listened to the man gurgle for a few minutes before moving his body so that he was on his side, allowing him to breath. He couldn't kill him too quickly; he needed his body for his next plan. He was going to get as many Ricks as possible to learn everything they know.

Morty dragged Rick's body over to his computer setting up a helmet over Rick's head, "You see Rick." Morty said pointing to his computer, "I made this, I don't need you like you thought. I only need you to be able to help others like me."

Rick glared at the kid as he attempted to move, failing to move.

"This computer will store all your memories. Your father wasn't good for much but he did show me how dumb emotions are. It will take all your dumb personal memories and throw them away and then it will take any juicy science information and store it in the hard drive. This hard drive is attached via blue tooth to this chip. I will put it in my own brain and then I can freely look into the hard drive for any information I need. This will help me to learn faster and become smarter. This computer is going to get me to aid all Mortys to be free."

Rick was breathing heavily as he watched the computer move through his memories.

"Don't worry Rick. I still need you. YOU are going to watch the whole thing! Granted you won't be able to talk or do anything on your own but that's okay. You are lucky; you will be the last Rick when this is all done. I will save you for last and boy do I have a plan for you when this is done."

Rick glared.

"You want to know how that will happen huh?" Morty asked pulling out a rectangular chip. "Did you hear of that dumb universe where Mortys are treated like Pokemon? Have you seen that? So degrading. I went there and found this chip. I regulated it so that I can control whoever has it on them. Once I have your memories in my computer, I'm going to cut open your skull and apply this directly to your brain. Then, thanks to you, thanks to your information I'm going to use you as my puppet."

Rick tried to speak but his muscles were still paralyzed.

When he had enough information then he would be the one who brought his army of Mortys to cleanse the Council of Ricks. Morty went over to his huge computer as he started compiling all of the Ricks he could think of to start his mission. He needed the smartest ones. He needed the most evil ones. He needed all of them.

And he needed their Mortys. With a large amount of Mortys, he would be able to use them to hide from anyone finding him and would use them to go against the Ricks in power right now. In time he would give them all the information he had so they would know the truth.

He would win. Mortys always aimlessly followed Rick…that was a fact.

However, there was a first for a Morty to destroy a Rick…with infinite timelines and infinite possibilities; there was a first for everything.

A first to right all wrongs.

Fin.

It was an evil Morty origin story! I hope they explain the real evil Morty's story. I just find it hard to believe that he was C-137 Rick's original Morty. I feel the two would have more of a connection if that was the case. I thought of continuing it past this to possibly show how Morty feels about what he did, but at that point it's only going to inevitably lead up to the show where we see evil Morty. So I'm going to stop it here.

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks to all those who have reviewed over the last year or so! And thanks for sticking with this story while I disappeared for months at a time. You guys are great!
