I'm sorry if there are a few mistakes because I litterally woke up at 4 am, bored out of my mind, and decided to write this... so ya, enjoy and maybe tell me how to make it better and I can revise it later :D
Phase 3
It was that damn whale again! It wasn't in the distance like usual, it had its eye pressed right up against the leaky window and it had scared the living day lights out of 2D as he woke up from a broken sleep. For the longest while he had been too terrified to move, making his already sore muscles very stiff, but eventually he slowly shifted against the wall so he couldn't see the whale and the whale couldn't see him. He grabbed the piece of cloth that had served as a curtain off the ground and slung it ove the flimsy bar on the window. It concealed most of what he was afraid of but he was still paranoid.
2D heard the lift coming towards him and scrambled around to find clothes that were semi clean. He had no way of knowing if it was going to be Murdoc or the android, but he preferred it be neither of them. Whenever he saw the cyborg version of his best friend, it put a stake though his heart. No matter how hard he looked, the structure of it was exactly Noodle. It didn't matter how many guns it was carrying because it in itself was Noodle. It had the same hair, the same eyes, the same body, the only true difference was the lack of emotions. Android never smiled. And to be fair to its creator (Murdoc) the real Noodle rarely smiled at the man, to 2D's knowledge. The lift noise stopped as it reached the lowest level of Plastic Beach and the doors opened to reveal Cyborg who had her Remmington 870 (big shot gun she used in Stylo and On Melancholy Hill) slung around her back. Her robotic parts jerkily moved to where she was standing right in front of 2D. It didn't have a reading for personal space so she always seemed a bit too close.
"Master wishes to see you," her voice wasn't like ones from the cartoons whenever a robot would talk, it was like a normal human being, and at the same pitch as Noodle's. 2D nodded in understanding, but before leaving rushed to choke down 2 green and white pills. Cyborg dutifully followed him when he was done, not fully understanding what it was he was doing. They rode in the lift together in silence. 2D looked around in the steel box trying to think of what to do with the uneasiness, and Cyborg looked straight ahead at the doors.
The pieces of metal separated to reveal his prison in all it's glory. They were on the pink beach, but Murdoc wasn't. 2D looked around and so did Cyborg just less comically. He wasn't on the beach and the Orka was gone. He seemed confused on why the Cyborg would bring him up to the beach if Murdoc himself wasn't even on the island at the moment.
Before 2D could voice a proper question, Cyborg cut him off by having sparks fly around. He covered his head to avoid anything hitting him and crouched down. "M-master wants to s-see you-u," she said like the previous time but this time the synthetic-ness of her voice rang though and 2D's mind began to whirl.
This was not Noodle. Everything about her was not the same. It was just some copy that Murdoc built to replace the original. Whether he was actually sad or not that the young girl was no longer here was a complete mystery to anyone. This was not Noodle, she didn't come from Japan in a FedEx crate. She did not have a zen bond with him. She did not possess anything of Noodle besides a bit of her DNA left over from the El Mañana incident. Cyborg had stopped freaking out and looked as though she was searching inside her database for whatever that problem was. 2D was glad he wasn't in his room where he would've probably committed suicide from his most recent revelation, and he was glad that Murdoc had left the island, even for a short time because his structure failed him and set to hurling him to the ground. He wrapped his ever so thin arms around his knees and himself. He didn't know what to do. All this time he thought, maybe Cyborg could be the new Noodle. She was like her in multiple ways. Now though as he sat huddled on the pink trash the thoughts he once had were crumbling.
He heard the Orka and looked up, only noticing from the wind chill that he had been crying. Murdoc stepped off the boat and looked a bit confused as the two other inhabitants of the island were outside. He didn't seem mad that 2D was out of his bedroom, wasn't doing anything and to be honest the older man thought he had been dead. That, and the fact that Cyborg was standing close sent him to believe she was babysitting. He walked forward and stopped briefly listening to something, he kept walking moments later but stopped again at 2D. The blue haired man didn't make eye contact so Murdoc took to ignoring him and carried onto Cyborg. "Oi, Cyborg, I need yew ta get those big crates off o' te Orka." He ordered. Whether she was done with scanning her brain or not, she did what Murdoc had asked her. Murdoc seemed to listen one more time into the distance and grimaced. "On second thought, love, come back 'ere." She walked back off the boat and stood beside her master.
2D was still crouched down but he began to hear it too. Before anything else could be done or said he lifted up to his full size and made a mad dash for the lift and hurriedly got into his room. It scared him that Murdoc didn't stop him or order the Cyborg too. But he was much too focused on shapes on the horizon to pay any attention to the singer as he ran past. The shapes and the luminous black cloud that hung on the sky. Murdoc calmly made his way back into the house, beckoning Cyborg to follow.
Faster than anyone could imagine the black cloud swiftly approached the island. Cyborg jacked up on guns, getting ready for the fight, waves rocked the heap of trash making the rooms shudder. 2D dared to look out the window but was caught in surprise when he saw the whale coming at him, full speed. It's mouth was open and white teeth riddled it, making 2D even more scared. It seemed as if 2D would be swallowed whole, along with half his room but something grabbed the whale. The singer immediately got confused at the whale jerked back and was soon nowhere to be seen. The island rocked again and finally through his thick head he thought maybe it wasn't a good time to be underwater. He scrambled to the lift, got in and made it up to the beach. But didn't exactly like what he saw. He was almost more terrified of what was happening in front of him instead of that damn whale. The black cloud had spawned figures and now they were all fighting against Cyborg, who seemed to be handling herself pretty well. Murdoc on the other hand was trying to out smart what he called the Boogieman.
Cyborg was backing up to around the island but suddenly the figures all disappeared. Sun Moon Stars had called them back, probably needing the power they possessed. Cyborg looked deranged and had liquid seeping from her eyes, but 2D doubted it was actual tears.
The thing that happened next made the singer want to jump for joy, cry his eyes out and pee his pants all at the same time. Russel had emerged from the water, bigger than the last time 2D saw him, he looked angry but the blunette didn't pay any attention to him. The larger than life Russel opened his mouth to reveal a young woman wearing a cat mask in a white dress with black striped stockings. 2D saw the most emotion he'd ever seen on Cyborg as she stared in shock. The woman lifted her mask to reveal a nasty looking black eye and 2D clued in. It was Noodle. She was here.
He ran to her but Cyborg wouldn't let him through and he struggled to get out of her grip. He looked up in anger at the fake Noodle and don't expect to see her eyes pleading him to stay. Maybe she thought she could be the new Noodle, maybe she had tricked herself into thinking what 2D had been. He stop struggling and she released him. Cyborg went on to the roof where Murdoc was loosing steam against his great enemy. 2D's eyes travelled back to where Noodle was but she wasn't there. Instead she was up on top of Plastic Beach fighting alongside Murdoc and her robot twin.
Read and Review and all that jazz :) also I have a chapter prepared (its really short) about Noodle having a small crush on 2D during the filming of Rockit... tell me if you'd like me to post it as a bonus chapter type of thing (I don't very much like it so it will be completely up to you)
