There was a plush zebra head, splattered with blue paint, in a blender.
To understand exactly why there was a zebra head inside this kitchen appliance, we will have to go all the way to the beginning of Gorillaz. Then we can build up from there.
This story begins after Murdoc bought Kong, before Noodle arrived, and during 2D and Paula's relationship. ( more towards the end)
Murdoc was in the basement, flipping through some old hex book. He was trying to figure out if there was a way he could embarrass 2D in front of Paula with a curse. Grinning at his idea he began to search more thoroughly through the small book. He finally found something that caught his eye.
"Prank demons eh? That's perfect."
He looked at the procedure needed to summon these demons. Unfortunately he noticed a small problem. In order to get the prank demons, Murdoc had to recite some words in Latin.
"Err I don't speak any Latin." He looked for a different book that could possibly help him. He found a Dutch to English dictionary.
"Close enough."
After chanting the words in Dutch instead of Latin, the hex book began shaking then it shocked him. He threw it to the floor, cursing and rubbing his hands. It trembled more then a red beam shot out the middle of it. Some other objects in the room began to float around the beam. Murdoc made a satisfied smirk. He was pleased that his little magic trick worked. It was almost surprising that everything went along as planned for once.
A large spider like claw reached out of the portal. It's nails dug into the ground, then a head and torso raised from the vortex. It seemed to be female. She had small horns and blood red eyes. She also had a large set of black wings. Soon the demon lifted her entire body out of the book. The bassist realized that her skin was all black and white stripes up until her head. Her face was white with black patches over each eye, similar to a panda. The woman's legs were replaced with large black bird talons. Stepping completely out of the portal she stopped to look at him.
He began to talk to her.
"So I suppose your my prank demon? That's great! So your target is some dullard with blue hair. I was thinking maybe you could-ACK!!"
He choked as she grabbed his neck with her left claw. She lifted him off the ground and grinned at his expression.
"Stop. Talking." she said slowly. Then her claw released him and he fell to the floor. Murdoc gasped for more air, then after he had caught his breath, got back up again.
"Now you listen here prank demon! I'm the one that summoned you out of hell so I think you should do what I say for a while. After all, with out me you would be back in there left to die slowly in a pit."
The demon's head tilted a bit in confusion.
"I suppose you do have a point, but I am not a prank demon. My name is Lamia. Who are you?"
Murdoc noticed she had a British accent also. Was there a UK in Hades?
"Murdoc." he said point blankly.
'Lamia' began laughing. At first Murdoc thought she was laughing at his name but then she explained.
"Look at me. I'm standing here making friends with a human. I should kill you right now."
He jumped a bit hearing that.
"-but I won't. Like you said, you did free me from hell so I guess it would be fair to leave you alive. Well I suppose that means I should go now."
Before Murdoc could stop her, an explosion of red light illuminated the room. It's brightness blinded him for a minute. Then when he opened his eyes, she was gone.
Murdoc stood there confused. What had just happened? Had he just had a conversation with a devil? The bassist decided to not tell any of the others. If Russel knew there was some random demon girl running around he would defiantly break Murdoc's nose. He thought about the band for a minute. Maybe the demon girl could play the guitar. He really needed a better guitarist. Paula's guitar skills were very weak. Maybe he could kick her out of the band and burn 2D at the same time...
Another explosion of red light and Lamia was at a different location. She had been working on her teleporting skills ever since that green man had freed her from hell a few weeks ago. She noticed she now was somewhere in the middle of the pacific ocean. Looking around more it turned out she was under water. Swearing under her breath she tried again to teleport back to Essex. She was able to transport herself faster now but still not very accurate to where she wanted to go. This time she was teleported to a toy store. Frowning, Lamia sat down on top of a check out desk. In the window she saw the letters F A O then Schwartz. So that meant she was in New York. Lamia was even farther from Essex now.
She punched the computer in anger. Multiple cracks spread across the screen then an unpleasant exploding noise came from the machine. Some smoke puffed out with a quieter 'Fyzzzzz' noise. Great, now she broke the computer. Taking in a deep breath, Lamia went to pick up the toy next to her. But before she even touched it some red and purple shock waves seemed to come from her hand and zap the toy. The demon girl gasped at the sight and pulled her hand away. She leaned closer to it. It was apparently a Teddy bear. When trying to pick it up again it did the same thing. Red and purple lightning came from her claw and shocked the Teddy bear. There was some sort of magnetic force between her and the bear. The next time she held her hand over it for a while. The bear vibrated a bit then it gradually started shaking more. Then one of it's two button eyes was launched into the air. The demon ducked as it flew over her head. Another button flew off. The toy's chestnut brown material began to turn white. After that black patches appeared. For some reason the stuffed animal turned from a grizzly to a panda. Then something even more unusual happened. It grew eyes, real eyes. They were bright yellow with a straight horizontal line down for a pupil. Much like snake eyes. The toy blinked a few times then it lifted itself off the ground. Lamia had experienced a lot of stuff over the years. She had seen humans turned inside out. She had been to the center of the universe and back in less then 5 minutes. She had even visited a generation where shiny vampires were worshiped among all adolescence. But this was something she thought outstanding. She had created a 6 inch tall, plush panda demon. It stared at her for a moment then it spoke.
"Master."
The demon girl loved the sound of that. Back in hell, Lamia was almost always seen as the under dog. Even when she came to earth Murdoc treated her as an inferior, a tool. She enjoyed getting some respect for once. Even if it was from a 6 inch tall stuffed panda bear.
Lamia didn't know exactly what to do now with the creature. She figured talking to it might help.
"Hello small panda devil. I am Lamia, your... master. I have brought you to life so you may experience the beauties of life, and learn how to destroy the lives of others. You will be called Seth." she explained. Seth nodded in agreement. He would make sure to please his master. She had given him life and brought him to earth. Just like how Murdoc summoned Lamia.
"Master, may I have a suggestion for your next course of action?" he asked.
"Of course."
"This emporium is filled with thousands of toys. Perhaps you can give them life like you have given me. Possibly create a small army of followers."
Lamia grinned at this idea.
"Fantastic plan, my friend"
So Lamia did exactly that. She figured out that the longer she holds her hand over the toy, the more it begins to turn into a real animal. Although if she doesn't hold it on long enough, it will remain a stuffed animal. She accidentally made a plush snow tiger become a real full grown snow tiger. The same thing happened with a Dalmatian. Lamia also learned that every time she brought an animal to life, they would turn black and white. Some of them were given their own personalities, others were more automatons. They all could talk too. Seth usually spoke in an almost whisper, but his voice seemed to echo a bit. She decided that each one she will assign to a country to torture, and if possible, destroy. Also every animal got a name. Lamia decided that Seth would stay by her side and inflict pain on the UK with her.
After giving each one a country, she teleported them to their assigned location. At least she hoped that's were she sent them.
After a few more tries Lamia was able to finally transport herself back to Kong. In the next day a large FedEx crate would arrive at the door, containing a short Asian guitar player.
