A/N: Everyone, I am SO sorry that there was no updates at all last week. My internet went down and I only just got it back. So I will now go back to updating and hopefully my internet doesn't f**k up again.

The sun was past it's highest point as Murdoc headed home. His lover never showed up at the saloon and that worried the the Satanist. 'He said he'd be by, dammit, he better not have gone off on his own.' thought Murdoc.

He threw the door opened and saw a frantic Wadsworth floating through out the living room. "Where the fuck is 2D?!" demanded Murdoc. "Oh, Master Murdoc, some terrible news I'm afraid." said Wadsworth. Murdoc shut the door and slowly walked over to his robot. "What's going on, tell me where 2D is you piece of scrap metal!" snarled Murdoc.

"Ah, look Master, i-it's not my fault, Master 2D just came in here in a panic." said Wadsworth. Murdoc crossed his arms and the robot continued. "He said that Grayditch was in trouble, something bad has happened there." said Wadsworth. The Satanist was still as his eyes widened. Grayditch, his step-mom!

"Shit, my step-mother!" swore Murdoc. "Exactly, he said he was going and I tried to stop him, but he just told me that he had to save Sasha." said Wadsworth. "Why would he fell like he has to, in fact, why didn't he come get me, he KNOWS I don't want him wandering out in the Wasteland alone." said Murdoc. "I don't really understand it, but he said he had to save Sasha so you wouldn't go through what he did, I don't know what he means by that." said Wadsworth.

Murdoc was silent, he felt touched by that. Murdoc remembered back when he and 2D were drifting, how they told each other about their pasts. The teen's parents were killed for no damn reason in the vault. 2D walks with that grief, probably feeling like he could have saved them and failed. He remembered the tears - back when they first met and back when they were drifting - and the pain in his voice.

Murdoc never wanted to see 2D cry like that ever again.

Murdoc nodded his head and looked at his robot. "Where is my bag?" asked Murdoc. "I figured you'd go after him, so I packed it already and loaded your gun." said Wadsworth. He handed them over and Murdoc strapped them on. He gave a nod to Wadsworth and left the house.

He paused and reached into his bag, pulling out his pip-boy. He put it on and turned the thing on. The locator came on and Murdoc glared at the device, growling. "You better NOT screw me over, you piece of shit or else I will break you and shove you up a Raider's ass!" spat Murdoc.

Unnoticed by the Satanist, the pip-boy sweat-dropped.

*~* GORILLAZ *~*

2D paused in his step and looked ahead of himself. He could see many buildings, but saw no one, not even an animal. He checked his pip-boy to see he was in Grayditch. 'Alright, now to find that old diner...fuck, that kid never said WHERE it was!' thought 2D.

He sighed, now he had to go find it the hard way. 'And I still have no clue as to what has invaded here.' thought 2D. The teen walked more into the old city, looking around.

Some buildings were down while some were burned a bit. He even saw some charred and plain dead bodies. 2D shivered and got his gun out. 'This is almost like the story Murdoc told me about Emma, was this caused by more Raiders?' thought 2D. As he looked more, he crossed that idea off.

If it was Raiders, the bodies would be half eaten or hanging from chains. No, something else did this, and whatever did, can use fire very well.

2D froze as he heard a small sound. It was a scurrying sound, and headed right for him! The teen turned around to see a giant ant. 'Is this what caused the destruction?' thought 2D. It eyed him and looked very hostile.

"How can you cause all this, your just a ant." said 2D. The ant got closer and opened it's jaws...spewing out fire?! The teen cried out in shock and rolled away from the fire. The ant turned towards him and the teen heard more sounds. Two more ants were joining the fight!

2D looked at the three ants in shock and disbelief. "Are you shitting me, really, you breathe fire now, this is the LAST thing the Wasteland needs." said 2D. The ants opened their jaws again, letting lose their flames. 2D rolled away just as the fire reached him. He stood up as an ant turned on his, breathing fire again.

2D jumped back but cried out in pain. The ant had burned his arm! The teen lifted his gun and shot randomly, the bullet destroying an ants antenna. It started moving funny and turned, attacking the other two. 2D watched in shock as the three ants now attacked each other.

After a while, they killed each other, all while the teen watched silently. 'Well, that worked well.' thought 2D. He winced again, gripping his arm, gasping a bit. It really hurt, but there was no place nearby where he could cool his burn. Sucking it up, the teen walked on, now being more cautious.

He passed many more buildings before he stopped. On another edge of town, there was a small, run down old diner. 'Finally.' thought 2D. H walks over but sees no sign of the kid, where was he?! 'Hopefully he didn't get killed.' thought 2D.

He looked around but then noticed a metal tube by the diner. The teen walked over to see it was occupied. Sighing, he kicked the tube and it opened, showing Bryan.

"Oh good, you're finally here." said Bryan. "Ya, I'm here, where's your father?" asked 2D. "He's in the house right there, please get him, I-I'm too scared to go in myself." said Bryan. The teen nodded and petted the boy's head. He walked away as the tube closed again.

The house looked alright minus a few scorch marks. 2D entered the house to come face to face with a giant ant! "Oh shit, oh wait, heh, it's dead." sighed 2D. He walked over it's body and came into the living room to stop. There were two dead giant ants in the room, and on the ground was Bryan's father, he was dead.

"Looks like he didn't go down without a fight." said 2D. Seeing the extra ammo, 2D decided to take it and left the house. He came back to the tube for it to open.

Bryan ran from it and stood in front of 2D. "Well, did you find my dad?" asked Bryan. "I did, but, I'm so sorry, he's gone." said 2D. Bryan looked at 2D in shock and shook his head. "Wha-no, no, he can't be dead, my dad can't be dead!" cried Bryan.

He sobbed and wiped at his tears as 2D felt horrible. He patted the boy's back and hugged him. "He didn't go down easy, he went out fighting, took three ants with him." said 2D. The boy sniffled and wiped his tears away to smile a bit. "Ya, my dad is touch, I believe it." said Bryan. 2D nodded and smiled at the boy.

"Will you be alright?" asked 2D. "Y-ya, I will, I actually have an aunt who lives in Rivet city, she loves me so she'll take me right in." said Bryan. The teen nodded and watched the small boy run off.

2D watched him and sighed, his job wasn't done yet.

He rubbed his burned arm and walked back into Grayditch. He still had to find Sasha and stop the ants. Once Grayditch was gone, what's stopping the ants from leaving and destroying more towns?

'How many more lives and families will these creatures destroy?' thought 2D.

A/N: 2D has made it to Grayditch and discovered the problem...ants, and not only are they big, they breath fire. Now, what will happen next? Will 2D find Sasha? What caused the ant problem? And will that pip-boy ever be helpful to Murdoc? Stay tuned and plz review.
