Disconnected (Rhett&Link fan-fic)

Realizing what to do

They both opened their eyes and looked at each other. Their helmets beeped.

" What was that? " Link asked.

" Don't worry Link, it's just us. " Maria said through a microphone connected to a the speaker on Links hat.

" Are we digitalised now? " Rhett asked.

" Yes. You're in their surface codes of the device. To us that's the flashing images we can see on the screen. " Dr. Goal said.

Everything around them was black and green lined cubes and numbers flew around them. The cubes seemed to build up some kind of world that viruses were crawling out of, just like worms or maggots.

" What are we now supposed to do? "

" Find the way down to the deeper codes, sadly we can't help you find the way. " Marie said.

Marie ended the conversation by saying.

" According to our data maps there might be viruses in close proximity to you guys. But don't worry too much, it isn't a large group of them. It's probably a group of newborns. "

Rhett turned around when he heard loud hissing noises. A virus jumped and tried to attack Rhetts back. But before it was able to, Link stabbed it in the back with the needle of the syringe. The virus, that looked like a huge, green, robotic beatle, twitched once before Link injected some of the nerv numbing liquid and paralysed it.
" Pew, that was close man. " Link said and breathed out.

" Indeed it was. "

They kept walking, desperately trying to find ways down. But after looking around for over three hours they hadn't found anything. A total of 15 viruses had attacked them, although only 3 of them required nerve-numbing, the others died just by being stabbed by the needle.

" This is anything but pleasant. " Link sighed.

Rhett looked at him and rolled his eyes.

They kept walking and walking and walking. They didn't get tired no matter how much they walked, the body suits they were wearing helped reload and boost their energy. Rhett was walking with his head down. Link looked up at saw a set of stairs going downwards like 35 feet away.

" Rhett, Rhett! " Link said and poked Rhetts shoulder.

Rhett looked up at him.

" What? " He annoyedly said.

" Look, over there. "
