Chapter 3: Today is El Manana

Hummingbird- so here is Chapter 3. I know I cant spell manana but my computer crashes when I try to inset symbols so bear with me please? Anyhoo, here we go with the next bit. Xox

OH NO!! I 4got disclaimers!!! Damn!

Ok, I DO NOT OWN GORILLAZ OR ANYTHING RELATED. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES TO ALL 3 CHAPTERS SO FAR OF THIS STORY! PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!! I'll shut up now…

Murdoc grabbed 2D by the collar and threw him into the corridor.

"To the geep!" he yelled and all 3 began to run. They knew what was at stake.

"A friend," 2D thought.

"A life," Russell thought.

"Our GUITARIST!!" Murdoc thought.

They hammered across the car park and leapt into the geep. When you've got an ex-speed freak driving, no real destination and you're too scared for someone else's life to worry about your own, you don't really bother with seatbelts.

Murdoc thrashed the accelerator and they sped away. The road leading to Kong was quiet until a geep going at 120 miles an hour flew overhead having spun off a natural mud ramp. There was no talking, there was only the sound of the engine, but their thoughts echoed louder than anything.

"We've got to get to her," they were all thinking the same thing.

"Ur… Muds?" Russell suddenly bellowed over the engine.

"WHAT??"

"We need to know the direction she was going!" and he motioned to 2D who was turning green.

"Which direction, dullard!?!?" Murdoc yelled at him.

2D pointed in a vague direction. There was no road, but Murdoc didn't care.

"After all, this thing is off-road," he though, grimly.

They fired after her, again and again, there was no stopping it.

"Let it end, please let it end," she thought.

Every second dragged on, she was closer to getting inside the windmill now. She ran up the stairs that snaked around the inside of it, bullets still flying after her.

And then, the bullets stopped. But the windmill was losing altitude, everything was shaking, swirling around her. She slipped on the stairs and fell, and sat on the bottom floor of the windmill on the orange tiles, illuminated by the flames. The heat surrounded her, she breathed heavily. She sat up and moved slowly, one of her legs felt broken, she looked around, she could feel the Windmill crashing. She moved to the window and stood up.

"It's all messed up now, it's all gone wrong," she thought. The window had been smashed and shards of glass littered the floor.

Her leg hurt, it obviously wasn't broken, but she had a feeling it might be soon. She could just see flames now, she could only feel heat. Something escaped her emerald eyes and slid like silk down her pale, cold cheeks. No one saw it, and only she knew it. The sun was breaking through the clouds now, the big black clouds.

She hoped it might rain. She hoped something might save her. Her face slid away from the window into the shadows and she collapsed onto the floor again.

Far away looking over at the about to nose-dive Island were two helicopter pilots.

The Island was gaining speed towards the ground. Noodle scrambled to the door and looked out. She screamed, holding her arms up to her face. cold blood took hold as her screams echoed in her own mind, over and over, like the bullets.

"Don't let it end this way!" she screamed, crashing with the Island towards the ground.

There was a gorge, deep and horrifying, being thrown towards her vision as she scremed for anyone to help her. Anyone. Anything.

The helicopters had been following her. The ground shook, as the burning windmill was lost in the black shadows of the gorge.

Then, just to be sure, they dropped a bomb on the wreckage.

A mushroom cloud burst into the black sky.

The geep sped down the desert and rain began to fall. No one cared. Then Russell looked at the sky. He pointed at a mushroom cloud forming way away in the distance.

For about three seconds there was silence as Murdoc pulled to a stop.

"NOOO!!!!! NOODLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2D screamed at the sky, "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" he kept screaming it over and over as the rain fell harder and harder. Mudoc put his head in his hands and Russell looked at the floor as 2D continued to scream hysterically. It was all over.

Hummingbird- crap, now I'm crying and my mum is going to ask why. BTW if you hadn't noticed already, if you play the video to El Manana with my story, they line up. Boo. sniffs/sobs.

Tigerlily- anyone got a hankie?
