Chapter 10
After for what seemed like hours of a sweet make-out, Noodle had finally cuddled up closer to 2D and fell sound asleep. 2D carried her to the other side of the huge apple tree princess style. He sat near the roots and leaned on the bark, carfully putting Noodle infront of him. He placed his chin on top of her head while she still rested on his chest. Eventually, he fell asleep as well. Short mintues later, Noodle took a small peak at 2D above and thought quietly to herself. "When 2D-kun does fall asleep he's like an inoccent looking child." The only response that she got was a slight snore and a sleep bubble forming from 2D's nose. "But only sometimes..." Noodle corrected herself. "...you look like the man of my dreams." Again Noodle snuggled up to 2D and found sleep. Both bandmates breathing at a steady pace. The moonlight shone above them as the lake shinned like crystals, giving perfect light access to both dreamers.
Sudden deadly moans and groans were heard in a far distance, and sounded more closer and closer with each passing second. Harsh steppings in the grass began to be within earshot. Someone or something was coming to 2D and Noodle's private spot, and it was definitly more then a dozen. 2D was the frist to open his eyes and turn his head round the tree bark to witness where the source of the strange sounds came from. Quickly standing up he tried to shake Noodle awake.
"Noodle...Noodle..."
The girl slowly woke up and rubbed her eyes. "Huh. 2D? What is it?"
"Quiet. Their out there." The vocalist attached his back closely to the bark. Taking his eyes off Noodle and concentrating more on the strange noises. Searching deep in his pocket he took out a small pistol that just fitted perfectly in his hand. Noodle was in total shock now that he held a gun. She never knew that he carried it with him, and why did he bring it along anyway? What was it for now?
"2D, what is going on? Please tell me."
Leaving her, he shot the frist two bullets before returning back to Noodle.
"2D! Whats wrong?"
"Noodle! Get up top the tree! Now!"
She did as she was told, but wanted to know why the love in 2D's eyes has suddenly turned into a mixture of fear and hate. While climbing the tree she decided to reach the highest peak as to where she saw the sunset fade. Below from where she was, she spotted 2D shooting at the many victums that surrounded him. She ajusted her eyesight in the darkness and finally figured out what the trouble was all about, and why 2D eyes changed from the deep emotions he held for her.
ZOMBIES
Noodle was amazed and shocked at the sight yards below her. "How did they get all the way out here?"
These zombies weren't playing around. Two pounced on 2D and tried to bite him, but Noodle flipped off the tree karate style and kicked the zombies away just in time. Some other zombies noticed Noodle as one of them were ready to pounce on her.
These monters were fast. No kidding. These aren't your normal slow pathetic 2D type zombies, but the fast pathetic Murdoc type zombies after an overdose and wanting some more, but they were dead already. That didn't matter. The damaged blue skined zombie jumped 10 feet in the air torwards Noodle's direction. Noodle didn't think twice. Forgeting about her martial arts once again she sheilded her arms out in front of her and screamed as she was ready to embrace and endure the action. Of course this wasn't the frist time she would be doing it, but the zombies made it a bit different. She couldn't understand why. She has delt with these monters before and wasn't afraid then. But what has changed her? Was she losing her mind about all this?
When the bloodly eyed zombie was about four feet from Noodle, 2D zoomed infront of her and took the zombies bite in the neck instead. Noodle watched in terror as the singer let out a blood curling yell and rolled down the hill. The zombie released 2D once he reached the bottom.
"AHH-AH...That hurts!-UH...!"
"2D! Oh-no!"
The zombies heard Noodle's cry and saw her run to 2D at the same time. They let out a supersonic shrill while small drips of blood emerged between their long and cracked pointed teeth. Noodle covered her ears to the scream. What kind of zombies were these? They were just more then the regular zombies in kong. What were these monters? Demons perhaps?
While she stood their helpless, the so called zombies dashed at her direction and scracthed her arms and legs with their long dirty nails. It felt worse then razors to her. She tumbled down the hill as well, only to find 2D a few feet from her now. Still on the ground. 2D slowly lifted his head at her.
"Noodle...run..."
Noodle was surprised that he wasn't a zombie after he was bitten on the neck. One zombie ran down the hill to Noodle, but 2D took his gun out again and shot the deadly thing in the head. It fell in the now dark red grass.
"2D!" Noodle called now on her feet.
"Noodle..." The vocalist was having trouble getting up on his feet, but he managed to. "...go find Muds and Russ..."
"No! I can't leave you here alone!"
"...Noodle..." Before he coud finish, four or five zombies pounced behind 2D without warning. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"No! 2D!"
"No Noodle! Listen to me!" The zombie pile towered on him.
The Japanese girl began to run and help him. "I just can't leave you!"
2D used a bit of his strength to pull out his gun and shoot near Noodle's feet. "I don't want you to get hurt Noodle! Just go!"
Noodle stood in fear and shock. 2D almost shot her! On purpose? Or was it for safety? Noodle didn't know what to do now. She thought about her third phase in her mission. The one that she promised Mr. Kyuzo not to reveal until the time was right. Was this the right time? Or could she just wait until something more terrible would come afoot? Would she break her promise and save the one she adored? Or would she let him die and be a zombie in order to keep her word from Mr. Kyuzo? Why was she thinking these things? She shook all the thoughts off and finally decided to turn round to find the other Gorillaz.
"But...2D..." She said before heading off.
The zombies finally got tired of 2D and ran to Noodle. "I said go Noodle! Now!"
Noodle took off and ran uphill. She was still surprised at how 2D survived, but he looked awfully weak. Once she reached the top she looked behind her and saw the zombies still chasing her. She couldn't have thought, 2D and her watched 'Dawn of the Dead' both old and new versions a million times, and those zombies weren't nearly as fast as the ones after her now.
At the top of the hill again a single zombie jumped and was ready to pounce on Noodle once again. She was ready this time. Ready to send that demon packed flying with her martial arts skills. Instead, a bullet was shot in it's head. It fell on the dried red grass. 2D rushed up to her and sheilded her with his weak self and ripped clothing. Noodle couldn't beleive it! He was not a zombie yet, and he was still moving, but he looked very weak, dirty, and pale.
"2D, look at you. Your hurt bad!"
Without saying anything, the singer turned and faced her while he picked her up princess style. Surprisingly, he still had enough strength to lift her. Despite both their faces being scracthed and dirty, 2D combined his lips with hers before he tossed her in the lake infront of them and yelled out. "Noodle! I want you to know that I love you dearly!"
Now in the cold lake water, Noodle reached the top surface and saw a large pile of Zombies that used to be where 2D stood. Some zombies tried to follow Noodle, but drowned once they reached the lake. Safely reaching the other side of the lake she took one last look at where 2D was. A tear rolled down her already wet face when she held the thought of 2D dead already. She began to take the safe route back to kong.
In a far distance, she thought 2D had called her name one last time with the last bits of his strength.
Then what she thought was the impossible had happened.

No 2D!!!!!!! Frist Russel, now 2D! Well, Russel was saved by Murdoc a while back, but this time it's 2D in trouble! NOOOOOO!!!!! I know there where a lot of questions that Noodle was asking herself, but do you think you guys can try and answer them for her? I want to hear what you think of them and the story. Poor 2D...sniff
