Hummingbird: In this story, Noodle is recalling all sorts but in Chapter 2, she recalls something no Gorillaz fan would like to hear. At first it seemed like this story-line might be hard to work with, but me n Tigerlily, we worked on it and hope you like it and think that we managed to pull it off.
Tigerlily: Read away...
Hummingbird: but remember, we don't own the Gorillaz, ok?
"That one looks nice on you." Decided Russel as Noodle waltzed out of the changing room in New Look with a brand new purple skirt and white jacket with one large red spot. (Japanese flag if you didn't know.)
"I like it too, but they're ever so expensive." She drooled, looking in the mirror.
"Nothing's too good for you, sweetheart." Said Murdoc, "where's sh.." as Murdoc was about to swear Russel shot him a stern look, swearing in Kong was ok, but in public was torture for Noodle who had to live with watching Murdoc being berated by uncool parents who had no idea who they were. Russel knew this fact and always kept on guard to either bail Murdoc out or stop him from swearing. Noodle swished back into the changing room and returned with the bundle of clothes which she handed to Russel to go and pay for.
"You spoil me." She giggled to Murdoc.
"Yeah, but no-one does it for you when yur olda so we gotta make the most of the little guitar prodigy while we can."
Murdoc treated Noodle differently to any other girl he'd ever met. She was strong-willed, an amazing guitarist and could fight off any number of zombies single-handedly. Plus, she still had the air of innocence that everyone else in the world seemed to have lost. He secretly hoped she'd never have to go through what any of the other band members had gone through.
2D walked through the door and met them holding a large plastic bag.
"Guess what I picked up," he grinned at Noodle, she looked up at him wide-eyed,
"What?" she asked as Russel came back over and gave the clothes to Noodle.
"Noodles!" he laughed and Noodle hugged him as they all laughed. Their voices echoed and faded.
Noodle woke up. She looked around her room. It had been trashed. She had been dreaming of her 11th birthday with the band. She got up and walked over to the wardrobe and she reached out the jacket. It was soft after many years of wear and only just fitted, but she didn't wear it because of the large blood-stain on the front. It had been her blood. She sat on the bed, lay back, hugging the jacket and remembered.
"Run!" screamed 2D as zombies closed in.
"Never!" yelled back Noodle, now 15. She plunged her scythe deep into zombies heads in a repetitive fashion as Russel and Murdoc fought to keep a passage open. She was completely lost in the complete carnage she was inflicting.
"For fuck's sake Noodle!" Murdoc had yelled, "Let's get fucking OUT OF HERE!"
Noodle realised that they couldn't hold the passage open for much longer so she ran through it, leading the way as fast as she could, taking the steps up to Kong 5 even 6 at a time with all 3 sets of footsteps following her. But then she heard a yell and turned, it was only Cortez but when she turned again there was a rotting corpse standing in front of her. It tried to dig its sword deep into her chest but she fell backwards so it only caught her but it was enough to cut through that jacket and into her skin. She fortunately fell back into Russel who caught her and let 2D pass in front of him to shoot the zombie, then, they ran into Kong and lay Noodle on the sofa.
"Oh fuck it!" yelled Murdoc, noticing the blood on Noodle and Cortez flapped his way onto his shoulder.
"It's ok." Said Noodle, breathlessly, tugging off her jacket to reveal a dark slit in her strappy top.
"We better get her to hospital." Said Russel, scooping her up again and handing her to 2D.
"We can't get out until the zombies are less, ur… active." Said Murdoc, going to the window and looking out over the landfill at the masses of corpses rising from the waste and sludge.
2D took Noodle to her room and laid her on the bed. Russel came in with a bandage a few seconds later Noodle was panting and sweaty but the cut wasn't that deep, it was just cut with a sword of the undead. Supernaturally infected, Noodle shooed the guys from her room and wrapped thick bandages over the cut that was a few centimetres above her kidneys. 2D sat beside her once she had called them back in and dabbed her head with a cold sponge. Noodle had spent the rest of the night asleep, occasionally being looked in on to make sure she was ok by Murdoc and Russel while 2D threw all the things they could spare at zombies who tried to gte closer to Kong.
She had woken the next morning in a hospital bed, surrounded by the band. She grinned, her tousled purple hair shone pearlescent in the light. Murdoc looked sulky, he hated the cleanliness of hospitals, 2D and Russel were smiling at her. 2D held up her jacket.
"We tried washin' it n stuff, but it didn't budge!" he said, meekly.
"Hard blood." joked Russel.
"Bad blood." Murdoc had muttered so that only Noodle could hear. She smiled at him.
She had healed fine but as 2D had said the stain wouldn't move, at all. Ever.
Noodle sat up and put on the jacket. Her slender body still fitted with room to spare. Maybe she had lost weight since the incident. But she didn't want to remember that. But the memories came, like a flood, consuming her every thought until she was forced to recollect the terrible time that had ended the Gorillaz as they had been known forever. As she thought, she picked up her guitar and started playing Feel Good Inc.
