Rick is working at his desk, while you and Morty are vacuuming up blue, one-eyed, slug-like creatures that are slithering all over the place. "Don't let any of those things get away, guys. If their DNA gets into Earth's food chain, our entire species could be sterilized." Rick said. "Then why aren't we killing them?!" Morty asked. "Great. Next time I need a species sterilized, who's gonna do it for me? You?" Rick asked. A purple crystal on the shelf starts glowing and emitting an otherworldly noise. "Oh, Rick! I-Is that the Vindibeacon? We're being called to assemble by the Vindicators!" You said. "I refuse to answer a literal call to adventure, (Y/n). Let it go to voicemail!" Rick said. "Rick, the Vindicators only call when the universe itself is at stake! They're first line of defense against evil! They're the guardians of the unguarded!" Morty said. "They're the writers of their own press releases, Morty! They're a bunch of drama queens that spend an hour talking and twenty minutes jumping around while shit blows up. They're a phase. We did one, it was the big event of that summer. Let it die." Rick said. "I, (Y/n) Smith, invoke my right to choose one in every ten Rick, (Y/n) and Morty adventures." You hold up a "(Y/n) Adventure Card" with ten squares and all but one containing a (Y/n)-shaped stamp mark. "Read 'em and weep." You said.

"God... fuckin' dammit!" Rick takes the card. "Fine! But don't say I didn't warn you." Rick stamps the remaining square. You and Morty high five. "Yes!" Morty cheered. Morty presses a button on the Vindibeacon and speaks into it. "Vindicator command ship, beacon received! We're doing Vindicators Twoooooooooo!!" One of the slugs slithers outside and gets eaten by a pigeon. "Whoops! Uh, Morty, you might want to freeze some sperm." Rick said.

"Vindicators, Worldender is back..." Supernova said. Inside the ship's briefing room, the Vindicators are sitting at a round table with a holographic diagram of Worldender in the center; Supernova is floating and explaining the situation. "..and this time, he's out to end more than worlds. We have reason to believe his stronghold is located on..." "my balls." Rick interrupted. "Rick!" You scolded. "...the Terraneus system. Once in range, Million Ants will scan for pheromone activity, which should lead us to the location of the base." Supernova said. "Oh, that's Million Ants. I can't see the ants over here. It just assumed that was, uh, Turd Man. Wiggly Turd Man." Rick said. "Rick, stop!" Morty shouted. "Rick, you have something to add to the briefing?" Supernova asked. "Uh, yeah, just a few more design notes." He points to Crocubot. "Um, this guy. The, uh... The, uh..." Rick said. "I am Crocubot." He replied. Rick laughs. "Right, Crocubot. So, you're half-cold, unfeeling reptile, half-also cold, equally-unfeeling machine." Rick said. "Yes." Crocubot said. "So, you're origin is what? Y-You fell into a vat of redundancy?" Rick asked. noob noob who is sweeping up in the background; snickers. "Got damn!" He said. "Noob-Noob, we're having a briefing! If I can continue, Rick. I anticipate sophisticated security measures. I trust you can be of service there." Supernova said. "Well, let me check my list of powers and weaknesses. Ability to do anything... But only whenever I want... Yeah, that sounds like a job for me." Rick said. "I wish he had the ability to check his attitude." Alan said. "Alan Rails, ladies and gentleman. After his parents' tragic death in a railroad accident, he gained the power to summon ghost trains. It's not all bad, though. They were spared having to see their grown son wear a whistle!" Rick said. "Got damn!" Noob Noob said. "Thanks, Noob-Noob! This guy gets it." The doors open and Vance Maximus flies in on his jetpack; he lands and drinks from a martini glass.

"Vance Maximus, Renegade Star Soldier!" You said. Vance tosses the glass and zaps it out of existence with a laser arm cannon. "Sorry I'm late. It was happy hour." He said. Everyone laughs. "Happy hour." Morty laughs. "Uh, I was also late because of my drinking and mentioned it to zero applause." Rick said. "Rick Sanchez, Tinkerer of Terror. Man, that's hard to say. And... Morty and (Y/n), right?" Vance asked. "Whoa, yeah!" You said with excitement. "I never forget a kid. What do you say, Vindicators? Let's make this three for three?" Everyone but you, Rick and Morty cheer. "Did he say "three for three"?" Morty asked. "Did he say he never forgets a kid?" Rick asked. "You mean "two for two", right, Vance?" You asked. The Vindicators exchange looks. "Actually, we assembled a second time last summer to fight Doomnomitron." Supernova said. "So, this is... Vindicators 3? And you guys did Vindicators 2... w-without us?" Morty asked. "I sense... insecurity." Million Ants said. "Are you sure there's not just a picnic nearby?" Vance asked. Everyone but you, Rick and Morty laugh. "I guess he found his crowd. Pretty toothless stuff, guys." Rick said.
