Falling…

Falling can have 2 effects on you; you either feel weightless, like you're a delicate feather floating down…

Or it instills fear and panic into you the closer the ground comes to your body.

This situation was no different. Murdoc and 2D fell helplessly into Hell.

The only difference was that the fear and panic had already settled into the bassist and singer's bones before falling. Now, it was just magnified tenfold. For they knew, sooner or later, that the falling would stop, and their bodies would come in contact with the ground.

Murdoc was the first, since having a demon clinging to your foot weighs you down. He hit the ground with a loud thud. Pain coursed throughout his body and he squeezed his eyes shut and bit his lip to keep from screaming out in pain. The demon got up and growled before lunging at Murdoc.

The bassist's eyes shot open and, despite his body's protest, rolled away before the demon could strike him. He staggered up to his feet. He glowered at the demon and cracked his knuckles before balling his fists up. He knew what he had to do…

The demon stared at Murdoc with its beady black eyes in slight disbelief. He should be cowering from him, not challenging him. The demon became pissed. He'd just have to teach him a lesson. He grew his talons out and made a battle cry before charging at Murdoc.

Despite his age, due to the fact that adrenaline pumped through his body, he moved like he was 23 years old.

As the demon charged at him, Murdoc managed to grab him and sling him to the ground.

With quickness, the demon jumped right back up and pushed Murdoc to the ground.

Among the fighting, 2D came crashing down to the ground and hit the back of his skull hard. He immediately blacked out.

Murdoc grabbed it wrists and tried to roll over, but the demon was too strong and broke free.

The demon raised its hand to strike, but Murdoc grabbed it and snapped its wrist. He twisted it until it came off. Black blood dripped onto his face. The demon made a shrill cry. Murdoc took the chance to snap the other wrist. He then kicked the demon off of him.

The demon tried to run and grow its wrists back, but Murdoc lunged at it and stabbed the demon with its own talons. The demon burst into flames and disappeared in black smoke.

Murdoc sighed and dropped to the ground on his knees. Already he knew this experience wasn't going to be good. He looked up to see 2D lying unconscious. He scrambled up to aid the singer.

"Fuck. 2D can you hear me?!" He shook the blunette, but he didn't respond. He propped 2D up against the wall. He took the time to take in his surroundings.

They were in a dark corridor with many, many doors do either side. There was a flicker of light at the end. Murdoc left 2D's side to investigate one of the doors. He opened the door closest to him and peeked inside. What he saw made his irises get smaller.

He saw his younger self backstage dressed up as Pinocchio. Jacob Sebastian Niccals was behind him giving him a "prep talk".

"Now you listen here boy," Jacob rasped, the stench of alcohol heavy on his breath. "You're gonna get on that stage and sing this bloody song perfectly whether you like it or not. Understood?"

Murdoc didn't respond, which resulted in his hair being yanked harshly by his father. He yelped in surprise and pain.

"I said, 'Do you understand?" His father said firmer as he gripped the boy's hair harder.

Murdoc bit his bottom lip to keep from tears spilling and nodded the best he could.

Jacob let go. "Good." He smoothed Murdoc's hair out and pushed onto the stage.

Murdoc couldn't watch anymore. He slammed the door shut, leaned his forehead against it and sighed. He didn't want that memory being on his mind. He felt a hand grasp his shoulder. He whirled around and swung.

He just barely stopped his fist from connecting with the latter's face.

2D stood cowering before Murdoc with his hands protecting his face. "Murdoc it's me!" He squeaked.

The bassist put his hand down. "Fuck, 2D you scared me."

"S-sorry. I just wanted to see what was wrong with you." 2D said as he wriggled his hands together.

Murdoc sighed. "Whatever, let's just get out of here." He said as he started towards the lighter end of the corridor.

"Hey wait for me!" 2D said as he ran and caught up with Murdoc.

Murdoc wasn't paying any attention. He was too busy thinking about the situation he was in.

This must be my mind in some twisted way… He thought to himself. But how is 2D here? He glanced at the man walking beside him. I don't get this shit at all.

They walked for a very long time, and got nowhere. Murdoc lost his patience.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Murdoc growled as he began sprinting towards the light.

"Murdoc wait!" 2D ran after the bassist.

Murdoc abruptly stopped running and walked over to a wall. He began punching it furiously.

"MURDOC STOP!" 2D shouted as he grabbed Murdoc and pulled him away.

Murdoc thrashed his arms and legs in an attempt to get out of the singers hold on him, but stopped when he heard a little girl laughing.

Both men turned around to see a little girl wearing a sleeveless light gray gown with bloodstains on it. She had blood in her hair auburn, as well as on her body, though most of it seeped out of cuts.

"You guys sure are dumb to be so old!" She giggled.

2D frowned. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean."

"You can't just walked down this hall. You have to go through each and every last one of these doors. Otherwise, you'll get nowhere~"

"What else do you know?" Murdoc asked.

The little girl tilted her head all the way to the side until it made a sickening crack sound. Her eyes widened and turned black. A chilling broad smile grin spread across her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I've spoken too much." She said in an inhuman voice. And with that she disappeared into the floor.

"Murdoc! Snap out of it." 2D said as he shook the bassist back into reality.

"Wha? What happened?" Murdoc asked as his eyes darted around the hall.

"You started running, then you fell on the floor and made gurgling noises." The blunette informed with a concerned look on his face.

"So it was a hallucination…" The bassist trailed off.

"Huh?"

Murdoc leaned up against the wall.

This place in making me go insane already…

Yay another update! And an epic fighting scene, because why the fuck not 8D I hope I didn't make it like the fights on DBZ. Welp, I gotta go and attempt to update my other stories!
