Murdoc coughed as he waved the shadows from his face. He looked around but didn't see the red eye or even the shadow again. He looked to his band mates who were just as confused.
"What the heck, it didn't kill us?" asked Noodle. "Huh, then what did it want?" asked Russel.
2D looked around to stop. "Guys, who shut the door?" asked 2D. The band looked and to their horror, the large metal was indeed shut.
"Shit, no." cried Murdoc. He ran to the door and tried to open it. It didn't budge, the door was locked again. "Whatever that thing was locked us in." spat Murdoc.
"Of course it did, it wanted out, and you let it out." yelled Russel. "Guys, please, we'll figure a way out." said Noodle.
She went to the power box and flipped the switch. The lights came on only to burst into a shower of sparks. "Ugh, great, now we're not only trapped, but we're also without power." growled Murdoc.
"What about our cell phones, maybe we can call someone for help." said Russel. The Satanist nodded and pulled out his phone. He growled again to throw his phone against the wall.
"It's dead." said Murdoc. Noodle and Russel checked theirs to see the screens were black. "Weird, I always charge my cell." said Noodle. "Maybe when the lights blasted out, it effected our phones." said Russel.
2D sighed, putting his phone away. "Aw, that means I can't play pong." whined 2D. Jag patted his back when Murdoc looked at them.
"Wait, Jag, can't you travel by shadow?" asked Murdoc. "Hm, that's correct." said Jag. "Think you can travel under the door?" asked Murdoc. "Let's give it a try." said Jag.
He then descended his legs to the ground and was slowly disappearing into the ground. He was soon a shadow himself and moved quickly towards the door. He vanished from sight, making 2D shake.
"What if that thingy is out there and gets Jag?" asked 2D. "Don't worry Toochi, I'm sure Jag will be just fine." said Noodle. The bluenette nodded when they heard the door opening. Jag looked in to nod.
"Coast is clear, there's nothing out here now." said Jag. The band got out of the small room is sigh in relief.
"So, what should we do, we have a crazed shadow demon on the loss." said Russel. "I vote we leave, it might get bored and go away." said 2D. "What, no, we're hunting this bitch down." said Murdoc. "No way man, you were the one who said we were being paranoid, ignored the signs and let that thing out." said Russel. "Exactly, it'd be safer if we all just leave Kong for now, come up with a plan later." said Noodle.
Murdoc grumbled and they headed back up to the car park. "Alright, Murdoc, get the car started, I'm going to open the door." said Russel. The bassist nodded and went to the jeep. He plugged the keys in and revved it up.
2D and Noodle climbed and looked towards where Russel was. He was struggling and cursing. "What's going on Russ?" asked Murdoc. "I can't get the door to open, it's stuck or something." said Russel.
Murdoc rolled his eyes and turned the jeep off to head over. "Let me." said Murdoc. "Fine, I'm gonna try the front door." said Russel. He walked away as Murdoc looked to the car park's door.
He checked to see if it was unlocked before pulling on it. Russel was right, the door wasn't budging. "What's going on?" called Jag. "The bloody door is jammed, we can't get out." said Murdoc. "Are you kidding me, how is the door jammed?" asked Noodle. "It worked this morning." said 2D.
Murdoc came back to the jeep as Russel ran back. "Well?" asked Jag. "The front door won't budge an inch, I even tried the desk's phone, it's dead too." said Russel. "Are you kidding me again, how is it that everything isn't working and we're trapped?!" demanded Noodle.
"It must be that thing Murdoc let out." said Jag. The band looked to the Darkrai in shock. "Think about it, it's been locked up for who knows how long, it's finally released, so free and bored, what would it do to entertain itself?" asked Jag. "Well, demons do like to hunt." said Russel, remembering a few demons he encountered here. "Exactly, so, that shadow creature, it's hunting, and we're it's prey." said Jag.
The band was nervous and 2D hid behind Murdoc. "I don't want to be prey." said 2D. "Calm down dullard, if anyone is going to hunt you it'll be me, I own you." growled Murdoc. "That doesn't make me feel better or safer." whimpered 2D.
"Oh shut up, look, like I said, we have to hunt it down, we find it and get rid of it, things will go back to normal." said Murdoc. "I hope so man, because by the looks of things, we're ether gonna live to see morning, or die tonight." said Russel.
"Let's go then, we got a demon to catch." said Murdoc. He walked back towards the studio and slowly, the band followed.
*~* GORILLAZ *~*
The band was nervous as they traveled through Kong. It was very creepy in the dark, especially with a shadow hunting them.
"Murdoc, you sure we can't just escape through an open window?" asked 2D. "No, I want that bitch to pay for locking me in it's cell." growled Murdoc. The bluenette sighed when he jumped.
The hissing was heard again. "Where is it coming from?" whispered Noodle. "Don't know baby girl, it's echoing." said Russel.
Murdoc moved on to jump as a shadow ran by. A door slammed shut and the older man grinned. "It went into the living room." said Murdoc. The band was shaking but followed their band leader in.
The living room was covered in shadows, but not one moved. "Be on guard, it could be anywhere." said Russel. 2D whimpered again, shaking only to get a hug from his Darkrai. "It'll be alright Stuart." said Jag. The bluenette smiled, feeling better, and moved on to searching.
"Ugh, why is it so hard to find, and it shut up too." said Murdoc. "Good predators know how to conceal themselves and keep their mouths shut, it's why they're predators." said Russel.
Noodle threw a bowl into the darkness but only heard it hit the floor. "Not here." said Noodle.
"Let's try the kitchen." said Russel. "Hungry?" smirked Murdoc. "Fuck no, it might be there." said Russel. The three went to the kitchen as Jag watched to shake his head. "Idiots." said Jag.
2D was looking under the table but saw nothing. He scratched his head, wondering where it could be. He stood up to walk away only to trip. "Stupid shoelaces." muttered 2D.
He went to get up when he felt something cold on his ankle. 2D looked back to see what was on him.
In the kitchen, Noodle was looking in the dark corners as Murdoc looked around. Russel was in the fridge.
"So you are hungry." said Murdoc. "God dammit Muds, no, but weirdly, there's no food." said Russel. "Didn't you go grocery shopping today?" asked Noodle. "I did, so why is the fridge empty?" asked Russel. "Maybe our demon hunter got a case of the munchies." shrugged Murdoc.
Noodle shook her head to jump. 2D and Jag were screaming!
"Toochi!" cried Noodle. The three raced back to the living room to look in shock.
Jag was holding onto 2D's arms, pulling. 2D though, was half in the ground, being pulled into shadows by multiple shadowy hands.
"Help me, please Jag, HELP!" cried 2D. Murdoc and Russel raced over, grabbing hold to save the bluenette. 2D was breathing hard as more hands grabbed. "Please, I don't want to go, please don't let it get me." cried 2D. "You ain't going no where." said Murdoc.
Noodle was shaking, she was so scared.
Suddenly, shadowy wisps came out and hit the three males away. No longer having a hold on anything, 2D was quickly dragged down. "Help me!" screamed 2D.
Noodle raced to her friend and tried to grab him, but it was too late. 2D was dragged down and the swirl of shadows vanished like smoke. Noodle hit the floor and starts pounding on the floor. "Toochi, TOOCHI!" yelled Noodle.
Russel stared in shock as Murdoc was on his knees. 'No, no, he can't be.' thought Murdoc. Jag wailed in grief and starts punching the wall. "I failed, I FAILED AND NOW HE'S GONE!" cried Jag.
Noodle got up to hug the Darkrai. "It'll be okay, we'll save Toochi." sniffled Noodle. "Ya, he has to be on the floor below us." said Russel. "Moron, it's a shadow, it can appear where ever there's a shadow." said Murdoc. "Enough, let's just go, Toochi is in danger." said Noodle.
They left the living room, hoping to find their kidnapped singer. "Where could it have taken him?" asked Noodle. "Hopefully close by." said Jag.
They continued on through the dark corridor, but they heard nothing of 2D or a hiss.
GYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The band jumped in shock. That blood curdling scream, it was 2D!
"He's upstairs, hurry." cried Noodle. The band ran to the stairs and raced up as 2D continued to scream. They soon reached the floor and moved on. They then came to a halt as their was a problem.
2D had stopped screaming.
"Toochi!" called Noodle. Nothing, no scream, no hiss.
"Guys, the recording studio, I think that's where I heard 'D screaming." said Russel. They moved down the hall to come to the recording studio. Murdoc was nervous but grabbed the doorknob.
He turned it and opened the door to gasp. The air inside smelled highly of a metallic copper. "No." said Murdoc.
Noodle went in and turned her flashlight on to scream.
Inside, the room was covered in blood and a few bones, rib bones. A liver rested on the keyboard with lungs hanging off it like fuzzy dice in cars. A heart was impaled on the mic and the stomach wrapped tightly around the stand. Organs decorated the room as did the blood.
But what made Noodle scream the most was the wall. Hanging on the wall by intestines was 2D.
His body cut open and arms broken at horrible angles with bones sticking out. His legs hung by tendons, swing slightly. His head was gone, severed right at the neck's base.
Noodle screamed more and hid her face in Russel's stomach as the large man gagged at the sight. Jag was wailing even louder as Murdoc stared in absolute shock.
2D, his singer, front man, and despite denial best friend, was dead.
2D was no more.
A/N: I actual had this image in my head as I wrote it, I gagged a lot. 2D's gone now, the shadow demon killed him, and by the looks of things, extremely painfully. Plus he decorated the place, he's got poor taste. Anyway, what will the band do now?! Stay tuned and plz review.
