Alright, I'm back. Same day, I know, but I actually published it last week. I had some technical difficulties, but now that they are all sorted out, I can usually publish every Thursday night.
Ok, here we go. Like last time, gruesome images. I'll warn you when they start and end.
At the morgue, 2D and Russel hugged and said they will always be friends. (Yeah sure, thats a little cheesy, but whatever.)
Murdoc continued to look at Noodle's remains, just standing there, thinking to himself. He really had no idea what had happened. Could anything be done? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it was all just a dream, and he'll wake up any time now. But it felt all too real to him to be a dream. Maybe...
Everything was dark. Noodle looked around. She was floating there. It was almost womblike. Suddenly, after she blinked, there was a city, resting on rainclouds. She walked towards the gates on what appeared to also be raincloud. She walked up to the gate, and there was a man there, watching TV. He didn't feel like a man though, almost as if he was something else. He was gray, just like everything else. She seemed to be the only ounce of color for miles around. The man looked up, noticing her. He put his feet back on the ground, as they had been resting on his desk. "Oh, hello there. You must be... Noodle?" Noodle sighed. "Welcome to The City. You, Noodle, are dead."
Noodle gasped in shock. She suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole-world? Could you call this a world?- was spinning around her. The gates swung open, letting Noodle inside. Everything was gray. She was gray now, too. She had her guitar swung over her back. She sat down, took out her guitar and began noodling around. (Get it?)
"Noodle? Noodle-girl, is that you?" She looked up, her eyes wide in surprise. The only people who called her that was Russel and... Del. He was standing there, in front of her. He looked different, like an actual human. "Why are you here? You're only 30. You can't be- You're not-You're not dead, are you? No, you can't be. You-you can't."
"I don't know what happened. We had just finished recording Momentary Bliss, and we went out to a bar to celebrate. I don't remember anything after..." Noodle said, shakily, as she still didn't know what exactly was accent was getting thicker and thicker. It does that when she gets nervous or scared. " Get up, we gotta find your apartment. Everyone has one in The City. We just have to check the lists." They got up, and walked towards the list. It was a glowing thing, with names constantly being added. After a while, they eventually found her name. They walked to a nearby building and walked up. They went to the apartment, opened the door, and... it was exactly like Noodle's room in Kong Studios. She checked in the closet to see if Shaun was there. He wasn't. She didn't know what she expected, though. All of her things were already there. She sat down on her bed, and Del did too. "What happened?" Del asked.
"I-I... don't really know." Noodle replied.
I've been keeping track of you guys, but after you moved into Saturnz Barz, I lost connection. I don't know what you've been up to. Why don't you tell me?" Noodle told him about The Now Now, and all the great things they did during that, and how she was an ambassador for Jaguar. She told him about Momentary Bliss, and how she got to play punk rock style. She also told him other things not relating to music. Then suddenly, she glimpsed an image of Murdoc standing over her.
DISTURBING IMAGES AHEAD, BUT IT ISN'T THAT BAD THIS TIME.
Back at the morgue, Noodle's now empty eye sockets glowed. Her body lifted into the air, the wounds healing. Tissue repaired itself, and her eyes grew back. Every wound on her body sealed, leaving blood on the table below.
DISTURBING IMAGES STOP HERE
She could see! She remembered everything that she ever did. Everything. But then, everything from before she was 9 disappeared, and her thoughts were filled with Gorillaz. Every song she had ever heard played in her head, a symphony of chaos. Everything, but also nothing. Zero, but also infinity. Then it all disappeared, and she was back in her room with Del. What just happened?
