Chapter 2: Broken
2D sat next to Noodle's hospital bed. The doctor said she had a fractured arm with 3rd degree burns, both legs were broken, her lungs were injured along with her heart, and 3 small cracks in her skull which gave her minor brain damage. The doctor also said he had never seen anyone with this much wounds and not be dead. It was a true miracle. The only noise in the room was the EKG which made a beeping noise, saying Noodle was still alive. Although the beeps were slightly uneven, it was comforting to know she would be okay as long as the beeping continued.
"I am…sorry." Noodle spoke. 2D's head quickly turned to face her. He thought she had been asleep.
"Noodle your awa-"
"There are things I have not told you. I am sorry." She interrupted.
"Wot? Noodle don't be sorry. We didn't see this coming. S'not your fault." He made a smile, but the axe princess kept a straight face.
"But I did." She began. "When I was in Japan, learning about my past, Mr. Kyuzo told me the Japanese government was still looking for me. I did not tell you because I didn't want anyone to worry and endanger themselves…for me. Also the day after I came back to Essex, Mr. Kyuzo…went missing. He hasn't been heard from since. This is my fault." Tears rolled down her face. 2D hugged her.
"Noodle 'ats not true. This is not your fault. Its okay." He kissed her forehead. She looked up at him, and he smiled. She opened her mouth to speak, but all visions blurred again before she could. Once again the world when white, black, and then nothing.
2D looked at her. "Noodle?" Her eyes rolled back into her head and the EKG started beeping faster. Doctors ran in, taking out all sorts of equipment. "Subject not responding, pulse is uneven." One of them said. The EKG going faster. The singer watched helplessly as his girlfriend had another convulsion. He couldn't move. The EGK went to a final 'beeeeeeeeeeep'. "Noodle." He whispered.
"Clear!" then a loud thump and the machine went back to normal. Noodle sat up quickly, breathing heavily. She turned to 2D and hugged him tightly.

The Doctors said they were going to do an operation on Noodle's, brain and heart. 2D never left the hospital. He made sure he was always there when Noodle woke up, not daring to disappoint her when he wasn't. Russel was always out getting Noodle medication, food, and stuff to entertain her. He would stop by at least 4 times a day. Murdoc was busy yelling at the Doctors that they weren't doing their job right, and to stop lazing around when they could be saving his guitarist. Noodle was talking more, and not nearly as traumatized as she was when carried out of the canyon.
By the 4th day at the clinic Noodle had been through heart surgery and was going to have brain surgery the next week. Her lungs were almost fully recovered, although she did have some trouble breathing now and then. Life at the hospital was…acceptable.
"Alright now how are we going to get back at those bastards who hurt yah?" Murdoc said, coming into the room.
"What do you mean?" Noodle questioned.
"C'mon Noodle, we've got to get revenge some how."
"No!! They are much too powerful, and I don't want to put anyone in danger."
"Don't worry we wont be fighting the entire country of Japan. Only the agency that tried to kill you."
"We've got to fight back." Russel said for the first time.
"Yeah see even Russ agrees."
Noodle looked down. She would never wish harm to her family. But the agency was not very large. 300 people at most. If the Gorillaz got help from some strong friends, and had an army of 250, they could definitely pull it off.
"I…I don't know." She said.
2D looked at her. "We'll be careful, wear bullet proof vests and stuff. Like in Back to the Future."
She sighed. "Fine but if one of you gets killed I'm going to-" She was planning to say 'kill you' but that would kind of defy the whole situation.
"Great" Murdoc grinned. "I'll get machine guns, and rocket launchers, and all that shit." He got up and left the room, Russel followed.
Noodle turned to 2D. "Promise me you wont get hurt okay?"
He smiled and kissed her.
Promise.
