"Trapped in Vex's Web"

A few days had passed since their encounter with Victor Vex, and Link and Rhett were still trying to wrap their heads around the situation. They sat in a small, dingy room, the only sound being the creaking of old wooden beams. Rhett tried to reassure Link, but it was easier said than done. "Hey, we'll figure something out," Rhett said, trying to sound calmer than he felt. "We just need to think this through, come up with a plan." Link shook his head, his eyes darting around the room. "How can we plan against someone who can traverse the multiverse? He's got powers we can't even comprehend." Rhett placed a hand on Link's shoulder, trying to offer some comfort. "We'll find a way, Link. We always do." Just then, Victor Vex appeared in front of them, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Ah, I see you're trying to come up with a plan," he said, his voice dripping with amusement. "But I'm afraid that's no longer necessary. You see, I've been thinking, and I've decided to take a different approach." Link and Rhett exchanged a nervous glance. "What do you mean?" Link asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Vex chuckled. "Instead of gathering a bunch of Links to create an army, I've decided to make the two of you... physically inseparable." He snapped his fingers, and a strange device materialized in front of them. Rhett's eyes widened in horror. "What is that thing?" Vex beamed with pride. "This is a Multidimensional Bonding Device. It's a complex piece of technology that will merge your bodies, making you a single, conjoined entity. And I'm going to walk you through the process, step by step." Link and Rhett tried to struggle, but it was too late. Vex activated the device, and a blinding light enveloped them. "Step one: Initialization," Vex said, his voice echoing through the room. "This is where the device begins to scan your bodies, identifying the key points where your limbs will be merged. You might feel a slight tingling sensation, like pins and needles, as the device maps out your nervous system." As Vex spoke, Link and Rhett felt a strange, buzzing sensation coursing through their veins. It was as if their bodies were being mapped, every nerve and fiber being cataloged. "Step two: Dissection," Vex continued, his voice gleaming with excitement. "This is where the device begins to carefully separate your limbs, preparing them for bonding. You might feel a slight numbness, like your limbs are falling asleep, as the device works its magic." Link and Rhett felt a wave of panic wash over them as they realized what was happening. Their bodies were being torn apart, their limbs being reconfigured to create a single, conjoined entity. "Step three: Fusion," Vex said, his voice rising in excitement. "This is where the device begins to merge your bodies, combining your limbs and organs into a single, cohesive unit. You might feel a intense pressure, like your bodies are being squeezed together, as the device works to create a new, singular entity." As the device continued to work its magic, Link and Rhett felt their bodies begin to merge. They felt their bones crack and reform, their muscles and organs intertwining. "Step four: Integration," Vex said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "This is where your bodies begin to adapt to their new configuration. You might feel a sense of disorientation, like your balance and coordination are off, as your brains and nervous systems adjust to the new layout." Link and Rhett stumbled, their merged bodies struggling to find balance. They felt like a single, awkward entity, their movements clumsy and uncoordinated. "Step five: Completion," Vex said, his voice rising in triumph. "This is where the device finishes its work, and you become a single, conjoined entity. You might feel a sense of completion, like you're finally whole, as your bodies become one." As the device finished its work, Link and Rhett looked at each other in horror. They were now physically inseparable, their bodies merged into a single, twisted entity. Vex cackled with glee, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Ah, perfect," he said, his voice dripping with triumph. "You're now a single, conjoined entity. And soon, you'll be joining me on my journey to reshape the multiverse."
