Disconnected (Rhett&Link fan-fic)

Crisis

Rhett looked around him, he heard Link coughing. He sat down next to him and carefully listened to his breath. He heard hissing noises from behind. The viruses were still around, and now they were hungry. Without thinking Rhett stood up and threw his arms around, he felt his knuckles hitting metal and heard it land a few meters away. He did it again, feeling his knuckles hitting even heavier metal, although this time it didn't fly away. The hissing sounds had gotten louder, his heartbeat sped up and so did his breathing. He knees couldn't hold him up right for very long.

As he got used to the darkness he could see a green goo coming closer and inclosing them. They were painted in to a corner. The goo smelt acidic and made Rhett dizzy. He fell to the ground and reached his hand out for Link, pulling him closer. Link started coughing again as Rhett took deep breaths, feeling the acid touch his skin. It burned like never before but suddenly the pain stopped. Rhett opened his eyes and looked around him, Link was still by his side, breathing normally. Rhetts arms seemed unhurt, they burning sensation was gone and no scar or other was there. He stood up again, everything was light up again, he could see viruses walking around them, ignoring them again.

"Commander control calling! Calling! " Links helmet said once again.

" Commander control hello. Rhett here. " He said, trying to control his panic.

" Thank god you can answer us. " Maria said. " How much damage has been made? "

Rhett looked himself up and down, all he could find was a few bruises from loosing balance and falling.

" Personally, basically nothing. "

" What about Link? "

Rhett looked over at Link, his breathing had gone back to a normal state, his skin wasn't as pale anymore, he looked a lot less "dead".

" He's been better. But he's okay. "

" We don't want to worry you even more, but Lily Neal has been infected. All Neal and McLaughlin kids are now in curing chambers. You've only got 18 hours left in the chamber. "

" Curing chambers? "

" In attempt to not spread the virus even more and keep their symptoms under control. "

Maria ended the call. But Rhett had given up. After all the pain they'd went through he couldn't keep going.

" Commander control, we wish to exit the project with immediate effect. " He sighed...
