The Tomorrow

-Preface-

The helicopters followed the island closely, making sure not to lose

sight of it, but also staying far enough away so they could not be heard.

Inside the first helicopter was Kurou, a strict military officer that made

sure his younger partner, Hayato, (in the other copter) would make no

mistakes. Kurou could not afford any more failures. It was bad enough

the last super solider escaped, thanks to Kyuzo.

He spoke to Hayato through the radio. "Approach target, we attack in 5

minutes. Stay out of view."

"Roger" Hayato said and steered the copter closer to the island. He was

fairly new to the military business. He was never given much information

on his missions, and was just told to complete them with no question.

Last week he was told he would be destroying a 'experiment gone wrong' which was what he was doing now. Kurou, his adviser, never said the physical image of the target.

The helicopter hovered to the right side of the windmill. Hayato

looked to see exactly what he was attacking. His eyes widened. On the

island sat a teenage girl, smiling innocently, completely unaware that she

was about to be destroyed. He couldn't believe it. He looked at her

again. She swung her legs over the edge, looking up at the clouds. Her

dark purple hair covering over her eyes.

"Kurou-senepai…err that's a little girl

"Affirmative now prepare to fire.

"Wait! Wait, she's the target? Sir she is just-""Hayato! I understand she is young but she is still a threat to all humanity. It is up to us to get rid of her. Kill her now!"

Hayato sighed, defeated, and flew the copter out from hiding. The teenager's brilliant smile disappeared, and was replaced by a terrified expression. He closed his eyes and began shooting at the small figure.

The windmill was getting closer and closer to crashing into the canyon bellow. Inside, Noodle stared out the window, waiting for her beloved windmill to hit the ground. 'I am going to die. I am going to die. I am going to die' the words kept repeating themselves in her mind. Noodle had thought she would die in a different way. Like fighting for someone she loved. She defiantly didn't expect to die at 17. She suddenly remembered something. Noodle got up and searched franticly for the one thing she needed right now. She went to her dresser and

started opening all the drawers until she found it. She pulled out a crude looking rag doll. It contained long blue strings for hair, black button eyes, and had a stitched up mouth. 2D made it for her. 2D, her boyfriend and the one who she loved with all her heart. She was relieved that 2D was not here. He was safe in Kong. Now Noodle could die. Holding the doll firmly, she closed her eyes.

The Island skidded against the cliff. Plummeting into the gulch, and finally hitting the ground in a big explosion. The helicopters flew away. Hayato looked down at the remains of the once peaceful windmill. He prayed that she was alive, but he knew it was impossible.

Chapter 1: Doll

The earth was silent. You could hear nothing but wind. A raven flew across the sky. The raven's name was Cortez. In her talons was a small scrap of cloth with black and white stripes on it. She crowed and then flew out of the canyon. Cortez soared to her master, Murdoc, who was standing over the cliff. She dropped the cloth into his hand. The fabric was a ripped piece of Noodle's shirt.

Noodle has been missing for 4 days now. There was chaos inside the building of Kong. Russel wasn't speaking. He just couldn't grasp the thought his little Noodle was gone. He knew he should've never let her on the island alone.

2D on the other hand, was going completely insane. He would make little Noodle puppets and start talking to them. He was really losing it. At other times he would start yelling into the sky about how it was his fault and he wanted to die. Noodle was his girlfriend after all. They were not the kind of couple that only dated because they had nothing better to do. No, 2D and Noodle really loved each other.

Murdoc griped the cloth tightly. He wasn't sure if he should be

relieved or terrified that Cortez found her. He thought about going back to Kong and telling the others, but didn't. Cortez perched herself on his shoulder. He sighed and began making his way down the canyon.

As Murdoc got deeper and deeper into the canyon, he began to worry. What if she were to die right now? What if he was too late? The Satanist quickly cleared his mind of these thoughts and continued on his journey to find the lost guitarist.

When Murdoc finally reached the bottom, his raven flew off his shoulder back into the sky. He couldn't believe what he saw. It was Noodle's windmill but it was completely decimated. He couldn't breath for a second. Murdoc ran over to the ruins and started throwing scraps of the windmill out of the way. He searched all over. "Noodle?! Where are you!!!" Suddenly he heard a faint whisper. He ran over to where the voice was coming from. "Noodle?! Are you there?" He threw more pieces out of the way to find the small figure, curled up in a fetal position, covered in ash, blood, and tears. Her eyes were wide open staring at nothing. She was holding a tiny doll to her chest. For a minute Murdoc thought

she was dead, but she was shivering violently, muttering Japanese to herself. Her shirt was tattered, she was burnt badly on one of her arms, some blood was dripping from her mouth. "Noodle!!!" He picked her up and had her face him. "What's the matter? Noodle are you okay?" She said nothing and mumbled more Japanese. It was as if she didn't even notice he was there. "It's okay mate. Just calm down." No response. He sighed and put her down so she could stand, but she fell over. Murdoc quickly picked her back up. Both of Noodle's legs were broken.

He found himself caring her, piggyback, up out of the trench. She wouldn't stop muttering Japanese and she wouldn't let go of the doll. He recognized the doll, 2D had made it for her. Murdoc remembered thinking it was a pretty crappy gift, but Noodle absolutely loved it. She loved 2D a lot. Murdoc had known her for a while, and over the years had learned some Japanese himself. She was talking pretty fast but he could make out some words: 'Unsafe, Government, Found me, No escape' then '2D-kun, 2D-kun, 2D-kun'. Every time she said his name, she would clutch the doll tighter.

After the long way back up, Murdoc finally made it back to Kong. He opened the front door and made it into the lobby. "RUSSEL, 2D, MEET ME IN THE LIVING ROOM IN 5" he shouted. "Wot is it?" 2D said walking into the lobby. He stopped and locked eyes with Noodle.

There are certain moments in life were time…stops. When the former enemies shake hands. When a mother opens the door to see two soldiers with her sons dog tag. When a man kneels down to propose. When the child doesn't come out from under the water. These moments overflow the mind with so much emotion and thoughts that there needs to be a second of pure silence, so the image can process through the brain. Then time will once again start.

"Noodle." he whispered. Murdoc grinned and handed her over to 2D. She wrapped her arms around his neck and cried softly into his chest. 2D held her close and shut his eyes, holding back tears. He turned to Murodc. "Th-Thank you Mu-Murdoc." 2D stammered, trying not to run over, hug him, and start sobbing.

Russel came in soon after that and finally talked after 4 days of silence.

Now the band was determining what to do now.

"Murdoc call an ambulance." Russel ordered.

"No, we can't call the cops to help us. The government did this to her, which means we can't trust anyone really." Said the bassist.

"I don't care she needs medical help."

"He's right" 2D said "Noodle is really hurt, we should get her a doctor quick." Noodle wasn't speaking. She was too traumatized to move. No one was safe anymore. Because she was alive, all of her friends could be killed. She needed to protect them, especially 2D. Noodle could not lose him.

"If we take her to the hospital it will only put her in more danger!" Murdoc yelled"

"If we don't she's going to freaking die of bleeding!" Russel shouted back.

2D flinched at the words

"Listen all I'm saying is if we don't…" The words were a blur now to

Noodle. All sounds and vision were just a haze. Her eyes rolled back

into her head. She gently lost hold of the singers neck, and the rag doll

she was still holding. The axe princess fell backwards onto the floor. It

all seemed to happen in slow motion. On the ground her whole body

vibrated. She was foaming at the mouth. Noodle was having a seizure.

All sight in her eyes went white, then black, then nothing.
