Possessed

Chapter 3

Murdoc and 2D sat in their submarine with the cyborg resembling Noodle that Murdoc had made. It was supposed to protect them from any possible threats, but it was mostly for Russel's demon, if he could catch up with them at some point. Murdoc wasn't sure if the cyborg could stop Russel, but having her was better than nothing. And he had used Noodle's DNA as a base for the cyborg, so she should be pretty strong, like Noodle.

After a while they arrived at an island that seemed to be made out of plastic. Murdoc named it Plastic Beach, and they started living there. Murdoc decided Gorillaz should still make music, and they started working on their next album. Cyborg could play the guitar like Noodle, and for the drums they used a drum computer.

During this time 2D's demon left his body. It didn't feel like possessing him anymore. Another demon took its place, and it manifested itself as a giant whale. This caused 2D to be terrified of whales. This demon was a lot more dangerous and aggressive than the previous one. It regularly tried to attack Plastic Beach, but Cyborg could hold it off most of the time.

Russel was now completely alone, and felt really bad. The demon took advantage of this weakness and possessed him more often than before. It forced Russel's body to jump in the ocean and swim after Murdoc's submarine. The demon still wanted revenge on Murdoc and 2D for surviving it's attack. And Murdoc's demon was gone now, so Russel's demon would have to take care of Murdoc itself.

Noodle's demon had taken over Noodle's body, and had escaped the wrecks of Windmill Island. It boarded a cruise ship that would come close to Plastic Beach. When the ship was at the closest point to the plastic pink island the demon killed everyone on board. It took over the ship and it went to Plastic Beach.

Noodle's demon and Russel's demon arrived simultaneously at Plastic Beach. Noodle's demon jumped off the ship, landing on the shore, and Russel's demon walked on the shore out of the water. 2D's demon manifested itself in the water, preventing anyone from escaping. 2D was petrified by fear, and sat silently in his room. Murdoc quickly hid while Cyborg started attacking. She took down 2D's demon, and wounded Russel's demon, but Noodle's demon seemed invincible. Noodle's superhuman powers combined with the demon's power was too much for Cyborg's guns.

Noodle's demon leaped towards Cyborg and decapitated her with ease. Murdoc didn't see any way out anymore. Noodle's demon went down the stairs. Murdoc tried to flee from it, but it easily caught up with him. He had to use his last resort. He ripped the contract he had made with the Boogieman. His demon returned, and it immediately changed Murdoc's arms into swords again. Murdoc used these to fend off Noodle's demon.

Russel's demon left Russel's body again. Murdoc had his own demon now, and that demon could now carry out the revenge it wanted. Russel woke up again, and he had no idea where he was. He saw the remains of Cyborg Noodle, and an entrance to the studio Murdoc and 2D had used to record the new album. Murdoc and Noodle's demon were fighting inside, and Russel heard the sound of their fight from outside. He went in and saw what was going on. He couldn't do anything about it, because he was too weak in his human form. He was relieved to see that Noodle was still alive however.

Murdoc sliced the mask Noodle's demon was wearing with his sword-arm, and this triggered the retreat of the demon. Noodle got control of her body again, and the fight stopped. 2D, who had noticed the fight was over, met up with the others.

Murdoc was now terrified of both Russel and Noodle, because they both had extremely powerful demons. And his own demon was back now. Everything had only gotten worse. And he had even lost his expanded life span. It was probably even shorter than it was before. He may have found a way to stop Noodle, but that only worked as long as he had these sword-arms. And when his demon would realize they were actually useful to him, it would definitely turn them back. Murdoc wasn't happy with the situation.
