Title: A New Beginning

Author: Courtney Niccals (Aka Murdoc-Lover or muds-girl)

Rating: M (to be safe because of the blood in this chapter, and cussing)

A/N: This is the first chapter of a three chapter story! Also this is my first Gorillaz story! I'll be posting many Gorillaz fanfics. You probably see me commenting on many Gorillaz fics. So I was like" Heck, I'll post it". So here it is! Sorry the chapters are so short! Though I wrote this for a friend on She's making a comic about it. This is basically Russel's life in a nut shell. Please no flames… If you flame you shall get a brutal beating from Murdoc. P.S. Dex you rock my socks! P.P.S. Me and Dex have a joined account where we'll post many Murdoc/2D slash it's Gorillazchicks.

Disclaimer: Oh yeah! I don't own Gorillaz. Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn do and Gorillaz partnership inc. Though this is my fanfic and idea. So this is copyright to meh mind.

"Russel Hobbs! Get your butt out of bed this instant young man! You're going to miss the bus!" Yelled a woman from the down the stairs.

"I'm going, I'm going…" A very sleepy Russel groaned as he slipped on his shirt and jeans that he wore yesterday.

"The bus is here!" Yelled his mother.

"I'm just going to walk, mom." Russel yelled back as he walked down the stairs and grabbed the pop tart from his mother's hands.

"Russel, you know how I feel about you walking to school. Especially in this city it's dangerous. This is New York City." His mother replied worriedly as she gave him his lunch.

"Mother, I'm 18 and about to graduate from high school. Don't worry. Plus I'll be with Del and the guys." The teen argued.

"Fine. Please be careful." His mother hugged him and he left out the door to meet the rest of the gang and Del of course being himself was bragging how he got some girl for the dance.

"Hey, Russ. What's up homie?" Del smirked as he hugged Russel.

"Nothing much." Russel responded as he stared up into the sky as they walked to school together.

"Oh come on man. Something's up. You never are this quiet. You need a girl for the dance? I can hook you up, man." Del offered.

"No, that's not it…" Russel shook his head as he sighed at his best friend's immaturity.

"Oh, Jesus… Russ… It's not about that damn fight last night we had with that little wannabe gangsta ass crackas' is it?" Del rolled his eyes in disgust.

"It's not funny, Del! You could have been hurt. You're like my brother. I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you. And I don't wanna see you in the paper's obituary." Russel choked as he looked on the ground as they almost reached the school.

"Man… Russ… I hate it when you do this. I know, we brothers till the end… No matter what. But nothing ain't gonna happen to you or me. 'Cause if they touch me or you, I'll beat the fucking shit out of 'em." Del smiled as he put his arm on Russel's shoulder.

"Just worried… This is New York, ya know? They might be white boys, but Hell…. Only God knows Del…" Russel turned and swallowed his tears back knowing what might happen from the fight of last night.

Suddenly a sound of a car was heard screeching by them….

"RUSSEL! MOVE!" A voice yelled as he was shoved out of the way.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

"DEL! HOLY SHIT!" Cried out the shocked black man.

"HE'S BLEEDIN'!" Shouted another from beside him before he was shot.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Two more bodies dropped to the ground. Russel holding Del's dead body in his arms.

(HAHAHAHA! Cliffhanger! You suckers! More to come as long as I get good reviews! Sorry it's short!)
