Speed of Sound

He took it. There was a flash of blinding light, so blinding. The cornerstones of this old place began to shake. Lights flickered and died. A noise of epic preportions rocked my skull.

The wind, she swirled throughout the room, attacking anything that moved. My feathers blew back and I was tossed against the wall, as The Dark Lord had done to Noodle.

But the despair & agony flocking into my soul fought the pain of brick. I stayed awake.

I watched Him bring my only to final damnation.

There was nothing I could do.

Why was I pulled along with them?

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

Rang was done getting rid of Jake. He thought so, til odd stuff started happening and the building was quaking. ''m prolly deaf," he rasped, ear drums trembling from the unearthly sound. "'Taint my business, but I betta go see wot's up.." he decided, dropping the Magic Shovel that came out of nowhere. Off he skipped to the carpark.

Go imagine his stupid shock when things looked perfect inside. Twas as though nothing had even happened.

Except…a beautiful dark raven, his coat silky and perfect, lay still on the floor.

"Birdie?" he quipped, quiet for once. Being an idiot he poked the unmoving creature. Cortez-the-Raven did not stir.

"Whah? I fink..uh-oh." Rang's peanut brain had reached a genuine conclusion- the bird was dead.

He picked him up, kindly, and carried him into the studio, not minding he was trodding on strange property.

In the hall he found the Asian girl from before clutching her chest. She had sprawled herself delicately across the way. She was sobbing.

"It is you. What do you want!"

"Um, sorry miss, but this birdie died."

"Cortez," she whispered dryly. "Give him to me."

The dullard obeyed instantly. Perhaps even the mundane-minded know compassion.

Noodle was carressing the bird tenderly, stroking the cold feathers, remembering. Her love for Murdoc and his moody pet swarmed into her tears.

She got up though, an unknown force, (probably the souls of the newly dead) surrounding the heavy air around them. "I want you to be with me. I need to do something," she told Rang.

He wasn't used to death ceremonies, but she was pretty and he felt strangely moved.

Noodle lead the way outside. The night sky was aglow with happy stars, shocking considering earlier events. Their warmth and light provoked her need even further, though, and as she closed her eyes she held him tight.

She was growing weak; a soft moan escaped her lips. They were leaving her, she knew, going to that next life. To Hell.

"I want to go too. Please.."

Noodle, luv, don't mourn.

"Murdoc-san!"

Kekekekek!

"Cortez!"

We'll always love you, Noodle.

She smiled at Rang, at anything, at everyone. She felt better.

Somewhere, far from Kong, a butterfly flapped its wings for the first time.

The End.
