"Welcome master to the Council of Ricks Trading Hub or C.R.T.H., this is the place where many travelers like us gather," Jeannie said to Naruto having open a portal to the hub.

"So this is it?" Naruto asked seeing different versions of him walking around even with people from the Leaf Village and even their parents.

"And master remember there are different versions of you here from different universes and all that. That includes different versions of the people you knew," Jeannie said.

"I'm just still overwhelmed by the fact in some worlds, I'm just fiction," Naruto said who had just watched the anime of his world. Seeing what his world would had been like if he didn't found Jeannie.

"Master remember to be careful around here especially with the Rick's. They can easily do just about anything when they put their minds to it," Jeannie said.

"And this is where we'll be able to get what we need to go around in different worlds?" Naruto asked.

"Yes traveling from one universe to another without knowing where you're going is dangerous as you have no idea what world you'll land in. All worlds have different rules that effect anything that isn't from that world. Like in some worlds my magic is just gone, and others where the very laws that rule over almost all the other universes don't work. So here at the hub is where we'll be able to get what we need," Jeannie said.

"But what about money?" Naruto asked.

"I have money," Jeannie said producing a treasure chest that is carried by two buff copies of her.

"Bottomless chest of treasures that we picked up here and there," one of the buff Jeannie's said.

"They don't accept magical made loot here, as it would just devalue everything," the other Jeannie said.

Another Jeannie appeared dress in a suit. "I'll handle the transaction with the bank. You two just go to Moe's and get something to eat and learn about things," bank worker Jeannie said.

"Now master hold onto my hand and don't wander off," Jeannie said leading Naruto deeper into the hub.

Moe's -

"Dog what do you want? Can't you see that I'm making a business deal here?" Cat ask his former brother.

"Cat please take me back! I need you!" Dog pleaded with him.

"What part of I never want to be your brother didn't you get? Besides, I gotten use to using the bathroom like normal," Cat said. Both he and dog had been cut apart by a Rick who also grew them lower bodies as well, giving both of them legs. And more importantly allow both of them live our lives without being attached to each other.

"Cat please. Ever since you left things just fell apart," Dog said.

"Let me guess all the things that you usually got away with and I'm punish for, are now being done to you. Well what do you want me to do about it? I'm not going to be your shield anymore Dog. You're just going to have to learn how to have some self control and not go and do dumb things like you use to, as I'm not there to take all the blame anymore," Cat said looking at Dog. "Not so fun is it anymore is it?"

"No it's not," Dog said looking down. "I need you. I can't survive on my own."

"You're the idiot sidekick who gets the main star in trouble, as you're totally self centered not caring how much harm you do to your brother. And now that you're actually having to face punishment for what you normally do and don't have Cat to take the heat for you want things to go back to normal," Twilight said who is sitting at the table with Cat. (1)

"Yeah back to normal, so I can have fun again," Dog said.

"He's too dumb," Cat said.

"I know too dumb to realize that he's to blame for what's happening to him," Twilight said.

"No I'm not it's just that Cat's not there with me to help," Dog said.

"That's it," Twilight said blasting Dog with the Emotion gun that Rick sold to her. She uses it for times like this to make anyone to realize what they have done, when they simply can't or won't accept that what's happening to them is their fault.

"What's that?" Cat ask watching as Dog sank to the ground rolling into a ball sobbing.

"Emotion gun, it works on anyone making them no matter what lack of empaty they have, how twisted their morals are and blue and orange outlook, or in Dog's case how dumb he is, to feel compassion and guilt. Right now he finally gets why you left him in the first place," Twilight said.

"Good maybe he'll clean up his act," Cat said paying no attention to Dog crying on the floor. "But I'm done with him."

"This has come in handy in taking care of people like Dog," Twilight said.

"Yeah you should had seen what happen to my sister after I blasted her with it," a adult Dexter said who is sitting near them.

"What happen?" Twilight ask.

"After she finally realized what she's been doing to me. She gave up being what she was and is now working as a clerk in a store somewhere from what mom told me. I don't keep track of her as I told her in her face that I will never like or love her for all that she did to me," Dexter said. "And no I don't need her around for me to do my work. I'm now running my own company and rich."

"The emotion gun works even on Joker," Harley Quinn said.

"I did the same with Bloo," Mac said.

"Spongebob and Patrick killed themselves when they realized that everyone be alot more happy without them," Squidward said.

"Who makes the burgers?" Twilight ask.

"The new hire, Fran is doing a good job of it," Squidward said.

"So anyways do we have a deal?" Cat ask Twilight.

"Yes," Twilight said shaking his hand.

"Good, I'll make some calls and the cargo will be delivered to your ship," Cat said.

"And your buyer will have the cargo shortly," Twilight said. Seeing how big the RV is Twilight decided to start hurling cargo on their downtime and when they're traveling between ports where world hoppers travel to. It helps to spread their names around and give them some extra income.

Over at the bar Moe was busy serving up a drink to one of his barflies, a counterpart to his old friend Homer. This Homer came from a Fallout universe and thanks to the nuclear fallout, Homer and the rest of Springfield became ghouls. The world of Fallout for all the horrors and super science didn't change much of what happen in the town being like the Springfield that Moe came from, even before the bombs fell.

"So, I said to Bart if you're going to have a Deathclaw as a pet you're going to have to clean up after it and keep it out of trouble. And he went and got Orson to go and wreck the school. Now, I have to go and gather the building supplies to rebuild the school," Homer said.

"Wait aren't all of you ghouls? Why would you all need a school?" Moe ask.

"Oh Skinner and the other teacher teach classes to the smooth skins that have come to live at Springfield. The town wasn't hit by the bombs so it's completely intact," Homer said.

"So what happen to make you all ghouls then?" Sunset ask waiting for her order from Moe.

"The power plant," Homer said.

"That figures," Moe said.

"Hi Moe," a new comer greeted Moe.

"Hi Jeffro," Moe said.

Sunset turned to see the newcomer and saw a heavy set middle aged man. He wasn't all that fat but more of a mix of fat and muscle, a large belly, bronzed colored skin, thick and long limbs if he was skinny he would had look taller then he really was. He wore a baggy pair of green long baggy shorts that were held up by red suspenders. A pair of heavy work boots, a white shirt and a wide brim tan colored hat with a pair of goggles resting on the top completed his outfit. The only piece of armor that he wore was a placket, a metal plate covering his belly tied with a shoulder harness making it hard to knock it off of him. He's armed with a large oval shape shield and has a large double-bladed battle axe that's on his back.

"Hi," Sunset said as the man Jeffro sat down next to her.

"Aren't you the Sunset traveling with a Twilight and a Trixie, with a Kasumi from Dead or Alive, a Naruto and a Captain Planet?" Jeffro asked.

"Yeah," Sunset said. "You heard of us?"

"Rick the one you all use has been bragging about how his stuff is allowing all of you to take on just about anything," Jeffro said.

"Oh," Sunset said. "So are you big around here?"

"Big nothing. Jeffro here is a worker of the Hat's," Moe said.

"Hat's?" Sunset asked.

"They're the top all powerful beings that there are, and if there is anyone above them. Well I have been a worker for eons and I can tell you that they're not chatty about it. They're the ones who made the rules that all universes follow and the ones who give orders to the top rulers of high level beings. There's nothing that they can't do as they can just go and rewrite the rules and laws that rule any universe they're in. No matter who you are, they can just think of changing you into something else and that's it. A god can be made mortal and mortal turn god. Even the Rick's are careful around the Hat's," Jeffro said.

"Really?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah but of course meeting a Hat is a hard thing to do as they're so busy. Which is why they hire us workers to do the leg work for them. To look into things and making sure everything is working right," Jeffro said.

"Wait, I remember that Bleach world that's crossed with My Goddess. After we took care of things with the Soul King, a Mary Poppins took charge of things and made sure Kami and Hild were doing what they're suppose to," Sunset said.

"Those worlds are what we like to call crossover worlds and some are crazy. Like that crossover world with Steven Universe and those gem eating creatures from Secret of Mana or whatever Mana. That Steven is all kinds of shell shock having to fight to save gems from being eaten and all that," Moe said serving Sunset a drink.

"Yeah Mary is making sure all the Earth based gods and demons are following the new rules there," Jeffro said then he spotted Jeannie walking in with her Naruto. "Jeannie over here!"

"Uncle Jeffro?" Jeannie said seeing a friend of her family and hurries on over to him.

"You got a new master already?" Jeffro ask.

"Yes uncle," Jeannie said as she sat down next to her uncle and began telling him what happen to her and her new master Naruto.

"Sounds like what my Naruto did to his world. Of course he's younger and had me and the others helping him with Rick telling us how to destroy chakra of that world," Sunset said.

"And you wished that Jeannie can go out of her bottle anytime she wants. Now that's a nice thing you did there kid," Jeffro said to Naruto.

"I just wanted to repay her for what she did for me," Naruto said.

"She isn't a jerkass genie is she?" Moe asked serving drinks to the group. Homer from Fallout had passed out drunk like usual.

"No her brand of genies aren't like that," Jeffro said.

"Good, I hate those jerks," Moe said before going off to serve drinks to other customers.

"I have to agree with Moe. I go out of my way to give those genies what's coming to them," Jeffro said.

"So you're powerful?" Sunset ask.

"Uncle Jeffro is one of the most powerful warrior in the multverse," Jeannie said.

"Yup, I'm one of the best workers that Tophat one of the Hat's has working for her," Jeffro said.

"How does one become a worker?" Sunset ask.

"Two ways a Hat offers you the job or someone like me takes you to them to ask for a job," Jeffro said. "But I should warn you. The Hats don't like anyone abusing their status as a worker. But of course it does depend on which Hat you're working for."

"So what is Tophat like?" Sunset ask.

"She's very sex hungry when it comes to women," Jeannie said blushing remembering the one time she met Tophat at a wedding.

"Jeannie here made herself a fool when Tophat came on to her," Jeffro said.

"Uncle!" Jeannie said blushing.

"But didn't you said you had that woman who made the wish to make copies of yourself?" Naruto asked.

"That was a long time after, I met Tophat," Jeannie said. "I was alot younger back then."

"Yeah before she open herself up to new ideas," Jeffro said.

"What about you?" Sunset ask eyeing him.

"Oh me and having sex. Nope, I'm just not interested," Jeffro said.

"What?" Sunset ask.

"Uncle Jeffro is asexuality. He doesn't showed any interest in anything that Tophat does and no matter how hard the women who work under her do to get him to join," Jeannie said.

"How do you know that?" Naruto ask.

"My aunt Shanta works for Tophat and tells me how there's a betting pool where there's a bottomless pot of holding that has been filled with eons of coins beings tossed in every time an idea was used to try to get uncle to have sex willingly and not by force which Tophat made a rule to stop them from just mobbing him. Besides the women who tried keep ending up in the hospital when uncle fought them off," Jeannie said.

"Tophat made that rule as she got tried of repairing all the damage the fights cause. Now the women just pile on making piles of bodies all having sex to try to get me to have sex with them. And seeing how that I'm immortal they been trying for a very long time that I just gotten use to it and immune to it. It's one of the reasons that Tophat hired me as she mainly hires women for fun and men like me who either not interested or committed to a single woman," Jeffro said.

"So if I work for Tophat I'll be hit on by women who want to have sex with me?" Sunset asked.

"Even doubles of you and the others from your world," Jeffro said.

"Oh right that's it, I'm out," Sunset said as the idea of herself making out with herself or.... it's just too much for her. And she got up and walked away.

"So what you two have plan?" Jeffro ask Jeannie and Naruto.

"Traveling around to some safe worlds or just stay at a resort for awhile," Jeannie said.

"Yeah I'm just need sometime to settle down after all the drama with my world," Naruto said.

"Well once your copies come back you should stock up on supplies and get yourself a ship," Jeffro said.

"Know any?" Jeannie ask.

"There's a Rick selling used spaceships on level 26. And there's the Salvant Resort that you two can go to for a relaxing time," Jeffro said as he reaches into his pocket and pulled out a card. "Here, I have a free month stay there with guest."

"Thanks uncle," Jeannie said taking the card.

"Also here just in case you're really in trouble," Jeffro said giving a strange remote with a single button. "Only use it when you're facing something like an all powerful being that wants to destroy everything."

"Ok," Naruto said taking the remote.

"And also kid welcome to the multverse," Jeffro said to Naruto.
