*** [DIMENSION PRIME :: RICK PRIME’S HIDDEN LAIR, DEEP SPACE ] ***
This is the closest you’ve ever been to catching Rick Prime. It’s impossible. He’s an incredibly crafty piece of shit. Tubes. Cloning vats. The hum of technology so advanced it makes your head hurt to look at. And then, a holographic projection flickers on.
Rick Prime (pre-recorded, grinning):
“Whoa-ho-ho, you found me!”
You destroy the screen by shooting a laser at it. A second screen pops up.
Rick Prime:
“I shoot the first monitor, too. Listen, I’m not here. Or am I?”
A glass container rises from the floor. Inside, a naked Rick, shivering.
Rick Prime:
“There’s the clone you found! Or maybe it’s me, all naked! Just a lil’ Keyser Soze. I mean, why would I admit it’s not?”
The Rick inside the chamber starts dancing.
Rick Prime:
“Oh-hoho, yeah! Look at him! Look at him go! Look at him dance! O-or me. Again, it might be me, like a ‘Saw’ thing. I’m very sneaky. Here’s a bunch of killbots to deal with while ya wrestle with that.”
Many killer drones appear, activate lasers, and head toward you. You barely destroy some of the killbots while trying to get to the chamber.
Rick Prime:
“Obviously, I don’t know who I’m talking to here. It’s all prerecorded. But if you got this far, you probably think you’re real special. Tell you what…”
You run toward the chamber with the Rick inside, but the platforms start to move. The glass chamber slides down a tube.
Rick Prime:
“Oop! There he goes! Maybe that actually was me! If you follow him down there, we can do a big fight. Fifty percent chance I’m not lying!”
Your arms are shot by some killer drones. You manage to destroy some more robots. Blood is dripping down your forearms. The station shudders.
Rick Prime:
“This place totally might go up, by the way. Here’s a bunch of countdowns. One of them’s probably accurate.”
Many holographic timers pop up. All different. All counting down. You have no idea which one is real. That’s the point. He’s smarter than every version of you, in every dimension, simultaneously. And he planned for all of them.
[NARRATOR: Intelligence: Supergenius. Rick Prime is perhaps the most powerful & genius being in the Multiverse due to mainly being one of the only two versions of Rick who gained the knowledge of interdimensional travel. He is the Rick who originally invented the portal gun & offered it to other Ricks across the multiverse. When Rick C-137 refused to join him, Rick Prime murdered his wife Diane & his daughter Beth with a bomb sent through a portal, setting the entire series into motion. He is capable of creating impossibly advanced technology, including time-manipulating gear, & was able to outsmart Rick C-137 himself while remaining hidden for decades without fail. He also demonstrates this during his final battle with Rick C-137 & Evil Morty when he deduced their predictable attacks & countered them. His abilities & equipment are seemingly mostly the same as C-137’s but are more advanced & above the latter, even almost killing C-137 during their final confrontation. He possesses some form of regeneration ability, which he used to quickly heal his neck wound when Jerry Prime stabbed it & instantly recovered his body parts along with his clothes after his battle with Rick which left both men mutilated. He might be immortal or have some age-defying ability as he appears the exact same age he did when he first met Rick decades prior. He has an unexplained ability to appear in multiple places at once, which helps make him untraceable. Smart enough to spread fake clones of himself across multiple timelines to make it harder to track, with even some of the clones capable of trapping Rick Prime’s stalkers. Smart enough to avoid C-137 Rick for decades & trap other Ricks who tried to kill him. Was able to track C-137 Rick’s movements in a pre-recorded message. Can disable portal guns, even Evil Morty’s. Can build large invisible structures.] Superhuman Intelligence
