**The Multiverse of Malice**

Part 2

Victor Vex's laughter echoed through the warehouse, sending shivers down Link and Rhett's spines. As he composed himself, a wicked grin spread across his face. "You see, Link Neal, I'm not just targeting you. I'm targeting all the Links out there. You see, I have a bit of a... let's call it a 'condition.' I have a vendetta against anyone with that name." Link's eyes widened in horror as Vex began to pace around them. "I've been tracking Links across the multiverse, and I've made quite a few... acquisitions." He snapped his fingers, and a holographic display flickered to life, projecting images of various Links from different dimensions. Rhett's eyes darted back and forth, taking in the array of Links on display. There was Link from the medieval kingdom, clad in armor and wielding a sword. There was Link from the cyberpunk city, sporting neon-colored hair and a leather jacket. And there was even Link from the post-apocalyptic wasteland, armed with a crossbow and a determined look. Vex cackled with glee. "I've got Links from every corner of the multiverse. And soon, I'll have you, Link Neal, joining my collection." He turned to face them, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. "You see, I have a special gift – the ability to traverse the multiverse. I've spent years mastering the art of interdimensional travel, and now, I can visit any reality I desire." Link and Rhett exchanged a terrified glance. If Vex was telling the truth, they were in grave danger. The implications were staggering – Vex could potentially gather Links from every possible reality, creating an army of mind-controlled duplicates. Vex continued to taunt them, reveling in their fear. "Imagine it, Link Neal – a gathering of Links from every reality. I'll have Link the warrior, Link the hacker, Link the scientist... and, of course, Link the YouTube star." He chuckled, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "I'll use you all to reshape the multiverse in my image. And no one will be able to stop me." As Vex's monologue continued, Link and Rhett realized that their only hope was to escape and find a way to stop him. But how could they possibly outsmart a villain with the power to traverse the multiverse? The darkness seemed to close in around them, and they knew they had to think fast – or risk becoming Vex's latest additions to his twisted collection.
