Later that evening, Morty came out of his room, finding Rick on the couch, staring into the darkness with a beer in his hand. Morty started feeling bad about what he had done, Rick wasn't trying to be mean or anything, he genuinely tried to help other beings, and Morty prevented that.

Morty walked into the living room, Rick didn't even acknowledge him, that made Morty feel even worse. He's turning into something he never wanted to be. Rick let out an annoyed sigh, turning his head away from Morty.

"I need help" Morty whispered. He felt his throat constricting. He never liked asking for help, it made him feel weak.

"You seem as if you got everything figured out. " Rick muttered, avoiding Morty's gaze.

Morty let out a choked sob as he rubbed his eyes. "Why didn't you leave me dead? I've had enough! If I were s-still dead, I wouldn't turn into this MONSTER." He shouted at Rick.

Rick turned towards Morty, scanning his face.

"You're fucked in the head, Morty, but so am I, the only difference is that I can contain my urges. I might come over as immoral or evil, but I try to hide it, I try to be better." Rick said harshly.

Morty slightly winced, realizing that Rick isn't even concerned about his feelings. Morty's tears disappeared as he shut his feelings down.

"There's no such thing as an evil Rick… You're all fucking evil. You – you can contain your fucking urges because of me, I'm your little lab rat and punching bag. "

Morty got up, walking past Rick. Morty suddenly thought of something that's been festering inside of him for a while, he just didn't want to admit it.

He has to get rid of all the Ricks. He heard a noise in his room, as he turned around he saw 'evil' Morty, but he's starting to get why he's like he is.

" He doesn't care about you. " He muttered.

"How'd you get in? "

Evil Morty swung the portal gun around in front of Morty, smirking.

"You want to get rid of all the Ricks? I have something I think you can help me with. "

Evil Morty explained all about this black hole he created that could be controlled with this type of remote with a new type of dark matter he has created. He explained how the remote worked and that the portal can only be closed by the fluid inside the remote after explaining how they'd kill all the Ricks by using the black hole. They'd sneak into the citadel of Ricks and open the hole, allowing it to suck the entire citadel into it with their Morties.

" Try opening the hole." Evil Morty said, handing the remote to Morty.

Morty took the remote, but before he pressed the button, he grabbed a plasma gun from his drawer and shot evil Morty, killing him instantly. Rick ran up to his room, seeing the remote in his hand and evil Morty on the ground.

"Morty, give that to me! You'll destroy everything with that. " Rick said, coming closer to Morty. Morty took a step back.

" GIVE IT TO ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT! " Rick yelled.

Morty ran down the stairs and into the street, Rick followed him and just as Rick reached out to grab Morty, Morty pushed the button, opening the hole.

"Morty! Close that! " Rick yelled once more as a house was sucked into the hole.

Morty broke the delicate remote with his hands and gave a small laugh, a certain look in his green eyes.

"Morty, close it and we'll talk! Please, let's just fix th-this and we'll figure out how to fix you. "

" It's too late. " Came Morty's reply as he suddenly looked around with confusion and sadness, a forlorn expression evident in his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry, Rick." Morty yelled as he walked backwards

"Morty, no! " Rick yelled inching closer to him but Morty grabbed Rick's shirt in his fisted hands, crinkling the material slightly before he pushed him away.

"I love you, Grandpa Rick." Morty said before walking closer and falling back into the hole with the broken remote. Rick ran up to the hole, trying to grab Morty, but it was too late, the hole was closed.

After minutes of sitting on the road, processing everything that happened, he went up to the door of their... his, house and fell down on the floor, realizing that he's the real monster as his heart ached in his chest and his mind raced.

The hero has to lose something of great value to him to save the world, doesn't he?... Making his life completely worthless and gives it no purpose.
