I'm back! And it's 2006! And I have a new name! Hooray! (Jumps up and down)
Anyway, I'll get to the point. I have 4 new ideas for stories. One is a Russel/OC, since no one writes about him and he's not so popular. Another is a remake of When Gorillaz Ruled the World, but a better one mind you! Another is just a random humor one, it's really stupid, just me and my friend screwing around with the Gorillaz, so I'm probably not going to make that. Then another is about a girl named Mary-Sue (pun intended), who puts on a bunch of disguises to try and make 2D fall in love with her, but it always ends up horribly wrong. Heh...so yeah, there's a preview for y'all.
Thank you for all the positive reviews! I'd answer them all, but there's no time! Now, here is chapter 5.
"Noodle...love...you're the Axe Princess."
Noodle peered across the room, still trying to believe that this was all happening. In her heart, she yearned for everything to be a dream, just a dream. But in her mind, she knew it was real, and that she was awake. Thoughts buzzed through her head, followed by thoughts that were impossible to answer. What would 2D think of her now? Had all that blood and sorrow gone to waste? Would 2D turn her in? Was...was she insane?
But the real question now was this: Would she kill him now?
"D-san...I can explain..."
Noodle took a step forward. 2D took a step back. Noodle took three steps forward. 2D took four back. She began walking to him, at a faster pace, her arms out stretched, and he tried to run backwards so fast he stumbled and tripped over his own two feet, making himself crash on the hard floor. Noodle rushed to his side, but he pushed her away.
"2D-"
"NO! Get away from me! You killed Murdoc! YOU KILLED HIM!"
2D struggled to get out of Noodle's grasp on his arm, and eventually did. He ended up slapping her and bruising her eye and right shoulder. Noodle cringed in pain, mostly mental. She looked up at him with hurt eyes, but his only gave her an unforgiving glare. 2D had never been so cold to her before, always with a loving smile and kind words for her. He had always been her koishii, her beloved, her brother...
Well, you only SLAUGHTERED HIS FUCKING LOVER!
"SHUT UP!"
Noodle spat at the axe, which had been deemed broken until the moment she heard its voice in her head again. She was about to go over and break it once more, but she saw the surprised expression on 2D's face and froze. Another chill was sent up her spine.
"You're talkin' to your axe. You really are the Axe Princess."
His eyes...those large, fractured, staring eyes...he wasn't even in shock anymore. This was fear.
Noodle started to cry. She couldn't stop the rush of tears flowing out of her eyes and dropping onto the ground, or the immense pain and guilt she finally felt in her heart. 2D crawled a little way, to avoid the fall of her tears. In his mind, he was scared to death. Noodle had not only killed his only love, Murdoc, but also his drummer, his friend. He had seen the bodies before police took them away after dubbing them as evidence, and he saw the deep gashes and wounds the two men had suffered through. At the time, the singer thought that it had probably been a lone zombie, wandering above its grave, longing for rest.
But he knew the truth now. His little Noodle was a assassinator.
The Japanese girl gazed up at the singer, looking more pathetic than he had ever seen her before. For a second, just a second, he felt empathy for the teen. But his instincts snapped back to him quickly, and he got himself off the floor and began to run as fast as he could, away from the morally insane girl.
"Wait! 2D-san! Please help me! PLEASE! SEWANINARU!"
The vocalist ignored her cries. He just kept running and running and running, until he was as far away from Noodle as he possibly could be.

Noodle lay there crying for a good time, reflecting on everything that had happened. The first time she had thought of doing anything, the things she wrote in her diary, the axe she found in her closet, the makeup she wore while getting with Murdoc, the blow to Murdoc's shoulder, the way she hid in the dark before brutally attacking Russel...it all played in her head as an endless movie, never cutting any scenes, never retaking. She remembered the way 2D had looked at her, so untrusting and fearful...and then that baka axe had to open its stupid mouth again! She looked around to see where it was. It was in the same position it had been before: Lying on her bed, broken in half, just like her heart.
She gave it another death glare.
Look what you have done now! He HATES me!
It gave her another one of its annoying chuckles.
Of course he does. I'd hate you too if you wiped away my true love.
He was not his true love. He always said he hated him!
I read in a book that another way of expressing love is through hatred.
SHUT UP!
Noodle threw her minidisk at the axe, damaging it even more and breaking the walkman. Her breath was heavy, her teeth gritted, and her personality changed. She was the Axe Princess once more.
He loves me. He even said so! HE LOVES ME!
Don't tell me that. Tell him.
Noodle fell silent. She thought of her words and what she had said, and realized at once she was wrong. The Axe Princess pushed through with great power, and was almost free, but Noodle stopped it in its tracks. She wouldn't let the Axe Princess take over her soul any longer.
It had to stop.
No. I cannot force him to love me. That would not be fair. What is done is done, and cannot be erased. I must accept my mistakes and confess my sins. I have killed whom I loved, whom I trusted. I fufilled my selfish needs with violence and hatred. I cannot blame it on the Axe Princess any longer. It was all me. I did it. I am the Axe Princess.
Deathly silence filled the room now. The window creaked twice, then froze and waited for the sound to come back again. Noodle watched her axe, expecting a smug comment in return. But there was nothing. Quiet. Had she stumped the axe once and for all?
More deadair. Then, finally...
You are no princess.
Suddenly, the axe rose from the bed, the two pieces, and gave off a shining glow that lit up the entire room. Somehow, it fixed itself together and became one axe again. But this time, it had a worse aura to it, more evil than ever before. It floated towards Noodle, aiming to slice her head off, but she dodged it and dashed outside the door. It chased her down the corridor, barely missing her ears and her neck. She ducked and jumped, hid and ran, defended and escaped, until finally the axe cornered her between Russel's room and another. Noodle pressed herself against the wall, awaiting the weapon to send the final blow to kill her. She closed her eyes.
But it never came. Noodle opened one eye, and then the other. The axe was still in front of her, but a good 10 feet away. The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead.
I should just kill you now. I can, you know. Easy simply. But I won't. Do you know why?
Noodle shook her head.
You still have a destiny to fufill.
Noodle stared at the devilish axe, wondering what it could have possibly been talking about.
You created the Axe Princess. You became her. You are her.
Noodle gulped. You told me I am not a princess.
Because you aren't. Not any longer. Now, you are a monster. A monster thattoys with its prey first and then kills it, slowly and painfully. You enjoy killing, you can't live without it, you must have blood. If not, then you will die.
Noodle shook her head again as her lower lip quivered. I do not want to kill anymore.
But you must, for if you don't, then I will. I need you to survive, Noodle. If I die, then you die. I've been trying my hardest to survive so you will can as well.
Noodle pushed the axe away, but it flew back towards her, this time even closer. Deep in her heart, she knew it always would.
You must kill 2D, Axe Princess. Or else the person inside of you, your soul, will die.
Noodle tried to bolt past the axe, but it stood before her, blocking her only way of escape. She growled and lunged at it, going for the middle where it had been broken before, but the axe was cunning and managed to slip away from her strangling hands. The same angry fire burned inside of her again, but this time it wasn't the Axe Princess. It was herself.
I will not kill him! I would rather die!
The axe did nothing but float and speak the truth.
No, you don't. Face it, Axe Princess, or should I say Axe Monster, you do want to kill him.
The Asian girl fell to her knees and stared at the floor with wide eyes, realized with a deep regret that the axe was true. She did want to destroy him, for all the times that he had hurt her. She did want to slice open his body, and see the pain sweep through him like an old broom. She wanted to cut him for every time he had gay sex with Murdoc. She wanted him to suffer for rejecting her love and breaking her heart. She blamed him for creating the Axe Princess.
She realized then that she truly was a killer, and grabbed her axe.

2D was sitting in a large, gray room. There were two other men in the room, an obese Caucasian man and a muscular black man. Both were wearing sunglasses. They gave him such a cold stare, it seemed to freeze him where he sat. The black man turned on a light above the three of them, one so bright it gave 2D a migraine. He put him arms up to sheild his eyes from it.
"C-could you turn th-th-that off? It's hurtin' me 'ead..."
The man that was overweight came down to 2D's eye level. "No," He said cooly.
2D shivered.
The black man sat down in the single chair in front of 2D. The singer gazed at him blankly.
"Mr. Tusspot. We understand that you have information about the death of Murdoc Niccals and Russel Hobbs."
2D nodded, and gulped. "Yeah."
"Would you mind telling us who did it?"
2D gave him another one of his confused stares, but the truth was, he wasn't dazzled. Inside, he was trying to decide if he should rat on Noodle. She had killed Murdoc. But...the only reason she did it was for love. Her love for him...2D realized immediatly he'd done something wrong, and suddenly stood up. The two men watched him.
"Where are you going?" Asked the fat one.
"I...I need to go out for a bit. I 'ave a headache and...I can't seem to remember who...killed...'em..."
The men looked at eachother, then back at 2D. The vocalist flashed one of his goofy smiles, and they instantly believed him.
"All right, Mr. Tusspot. But only 'cause your records say you got mental issues or whatever."
2D grinned again and rushed out of the room. For once, he was glad he was seen as a kid dullard.

The night was dark, darker than Noodle had ever seen it before. She was wandering around, not exactly knowing where she was going or what she was doing. She carried her axe in her left hand, feeling the after breeze on her hip as she rocked it back and forth. The girl looked around for any sign of 2D, his blue hair, his vacant eyes, his gap-toothed smile...anything. But she saw nothing but darkness, utter and complete darkness.
Where could he be? She though to herself, but expecting a reply.
Look downtown. Her answer.
She switched her direction and began walking to the town, its bright city lights illuminating the sky. She could see fireworks crackling above, probably set off in celebration of the new year. She sighed, wishing that everyone close to her could have been there to see it.
But, obviously, that would never happen again.
It took her a while, but Noodle managed to get into the city, walking along the sidewalks and sitting on the curbs. It seemed hopeless, just rambling through the city without any idea where to go. For all she knew, 2D could have been out of the country by now. The girl sighed, falling onto a nearby bench and finally giving up. Across the street was a bar, so she lay there and watched all kinds of people enter and exit. Some drunk, some sober.
After a bit, she started to fall asleep. Right before she closed her eyes, she could have sworn she saw Murdoc stumbling out of the bar, beer in one hand, a bottle of blood in the other.
---
2D was sprinting as fast as he could across the city, making his way back to Kong Studios. He knew he hadt o get back there soon. He knew he had to help Noodle. The thought of her being alone with that axe, that evil axe that had killed Murdoc and Russel, was enough to drive him mad.
Well, more mad. 2D hadn't told Noodle, but he had heard the axe talk too.
The lanky man looked as far as his fractured eyes could see, still not finding any sign of Noodle. He worried that if he didn't get back to Kong in time, she would be gone. If she was gone...the axe would make her kill even more.
2D remembered the axe he had back in Phase One. It was different from Noodle's, more like a wood chopping axe. It's edge was as sharp as a thin piece of steel, and its complexion so shiny you could see your reflection in it. 2D had adored that axe more than anything at one point, and claimed to Murdoc that it could talk. It, too, told him to kill. He knew Murdoc could hear his, too. But he never confessed. That was when he really started beating on 2D...and showed signs that he was gay. 2D gave a weak smile to himself at the thought of Murdoc, but it soon faded when he thought of his axe again.
The axes...the weapons...they were all evil. Where had they gotten them from, again?
...That's right. The graveyard. 2D shuddered.
The singer turned another corner, and was relieved to find a bar at the start. He knew he probably shouldn't have, but he immediatly headed for the door. He went so fast that he hit another man coming out, who pushed him into the side of the door, which made him lose his balance and fall onto the ground. He hit his head pretty hard, and rubbed where a bruise was growing. He grumbled.
Another one of my clumsy moves, He thought. No wonder everyone takes me for granted...
Then, he saw something out of the corner of his eyes. He craned his neck to see someone familiar sleeping on a bench across the street. It was definately Noodle; he knew the way she liked to sleep best. Feet tucked under her body and her head in her arms. There was a soft breathing sound, and her stomach slowly moved up and down.
But it looked nothing like her.Her hair was a midnight black instead of purple. Her clothes were ripped and tattered, like a zombie that had risen from its grave. The axe was underneath her, glowing an eerie shade and red, and it seemed to be breathing as well. 2D's mouth dropped in an wide open "O". He wanted to rush over to her, to wake her up to see if it was really her, if she was okay. But he feared for his life.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes. There were no pupils, no emotion, no life. They showed nothing but pure evil.
2D wanted to make his open "O" into a scream, but when he tried to make a sound, nothing came out.
Hey again...sorry that took so long to write. But I had major writer's block, so it was really hard. BE GRATEFUL I STAYED UP UNTIL 10:00 P.M. TO FINISH IT! (Screams and rips out hair)
But yeah...it didn't really turn out how I wanted it, but oh well. Another thing, you guys, I won't be able to update for about a week. I'm doing a play all week that will take up all of my free time, and the time that I will get will be used for more useful purposes (No offense).
So yes, I bid you all farewell! I will see you all in a week! Hopefully I will get many reviews! (Smiles)
(You may review now.)
