( hello readers! so i'm so sorry for yall who hate when i have to do a long little rant before the story but this one is going to need this. first of all if you have not already read my oneshots " it's not time for the heavens", " the demon days are over", and " he didn't start the fire " then please go read those three before you read this. all three are needed for context during this fic. all these fics along with my other gorillaz oneshots and my fic on 2dace is based on my personal comfort versions of the band so these events are not actual canon in the slightest. only in my realm is any of this canon. anyways this story also has some TWS so if any of these following topics make you uncomfortable i suggest that you don't read this particular fic. this fic contains house invasion, possesion, violence, blood, mental unstableness, mentions of suicide, abusing drugs, and kidnapping. alright time for me to sotp ranting! please enjoy the fic!)


    2d was asleep in his apartment. He fell asleep on the sofa watching tv. Despite the four years....he still was struggling with the grief of losing noodle...the royal guards of bloom!verse also...recently gave 2d some even more heartbreaking news.....russell had killed himself...2d was informed since he was considered family by russell...he was the only real family member that russell had left besides murdoc...and the royal guards already had issues with murdoc....they didn't need anymore. 2d was absolutely drained of his energy and positive emotions.... He was back to square one...alone...but....he forced himself to stay away from the painkillers...he didn't want to go through that ever again.

As 2d silently slept he would suddenly be disturbed by ... ..a car getting...uncomfortably close to his apartment.....he forces himself awake and looks out.....getting a bad feeling....he grabs his cell phone off the coffee table preparing to call the cops if anything happens. He felt a lingering dread in his mind...something isnt fucking right. 

  Meanwhile in the car was murdoc. His emotions where faintly showing....he really didn't want to fucking do this...as murdoc is temporarely stuck in his thoughts obsidian would speak to murdoc once more being aggressive in his tone. " come on vessel. Go get stu. He's too fucking frail to fight you anyways. Even if he tries you can easily just beat him over the head like you've done before-" murdoc would growl baring his fangs as he yells out. " YOU MADE ME FUCKING DO THAT TO HIM! I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO HURT HIM-" obsidian would cut off correcting murdoc with his own mental medicine. " What about the car crash vessel? Where you knocked that poor boy's eyes out of his skull. Was that not only caused by you?"

Murdoc froze....obsidian was right....he was the reason that 2d....lost his normal life. Murdoc frowned....being easily emotionally manipulated in his mentally broken state. Obsidian enjoyed watching his mortal host being so easily put into his place. He teased Murdoc as he attempted to break the normally strong and stubborn bassist even more. " You're the reason that your band is gone vessel. You're the monster who overworked everybody for a stupid album ...even when noodle, russell, and stu were mentally suffering ... .you still felt the need to push them more and more ... .only realizing your mistakes once noodle died and stu tried to off himself. You're the true monster vessel." 

   Murdoc was already mentally weak ...but obsidian had pushed the bassist ...to a mental break....murdoc stays silent ...obsidian was pleased with murdoc finally no longer being mentally able to argue with him. " Alright now come along vessel. You need your singer~.'' Murdoc was silent as he gently tipped his hat covering up his face so at least for a couple minutes....2d wouldn't be able to easily identify him. Murdoc walks out of the car taking the provided gun in the car as well. Obsidian was now able to take full control of Murdoc's actions. Muffling any emotions from murdoc besides the craving of violence. 

   2d would notice murdoc. It had been so long that the two hadn't been around each other that at first 2d couldn't identify murdoc. Especially in the overwhelming darkness of the night. All 2d could notice was the shotgun in murdoc's arms....along with him getting uncomfortably close to 2d's door. 2d felt himself panic as he quickly fled to a storage closet in the apartment. It was cluttered so 2d had to wedge himself in there barely able to move at all. 2d would quickly call 911 praying to asgore that help would be here before murdoc finds him.

Murdoc with some strength provided by obsidian is able to easily slam the door down in only a couple of body slams. He glares around...checking anywhere that 2d could have hidden staying silent . He violently throws 2d's stuff around the apartment with not a single care in the world. Murdoc would then catch onto someone....whispering in the closet. 2d was trying to get help and sadly wasn't quite enough to keep himself concealed. Murdoc would make his way over glaring down the door with his menacing and violence craving stare.

2d would suddenly go dead silent hearing footsteps leading to the closet. He drops his phone....rapidly staring at his surroundings for any sort of weapon. After a few moments 2d finds an old microphone stand from when the gorillaz were originally together. He quickly grabs it, putting the stand bit in the air to use as his weapon. 2d could feel his soul racing....he clenches his eyes shut trying to hide his fear before he quickly bursts out of the storage closet before murdoc could get any closer. 

    Murdoc glared over to 2d. Despite 2d trying to seem brave ... .the fear could still definitely could be seen on his face. The tiniest hint of murdoc's true personality and consciousness would briefly show. Pain in his eyes knowing what he was about to do to the man that he at one point...had as an adopted family member. While murdoc was temporarily regretting, all of this 2d would take a sharp and very accurate swing to murdoc's head with the microphone stand making murdoc's hat fly off to the ground. 

     2d looked at murdoc's face. He froze in his tracks before he could get another swing in....what......why.....why was murdoc doing this?! 2d had gotten murdoc's already broken nose in his swing causing even more damage. murdoc would clench his teeth in a growl as blood from his once again broken nose bled making murdoc even more intimidating to the singer who was trapped in pure shock. 2d could tell that...something wasn't right with murdoc. But...he didn't know what. Murdoc would try to lunge at 2d with the barrel of his gun towards 2d's head. 2d would quickly react, stopping the impact by slamming the shot gun with the microphone stand and pushing it out of murdoc's hands.

Murdoc would glare up at the slightly taller adrenaline fueled singer who still held his own weapon ready to attack murdoc if he tried anything else. Oh how murdoc just wanted to give up...first he loses the studio....makes another deal with obsidian....and now....he was having to hurt 2d who was completely in the right to defend himself....2d noticed the regret in murdoc's face.....he still keeps his guard up as he forces himself to question murdoc. " murdoc ... .why the hell are you doing t-this?! I thought w-we were family...i-i know we've fought before...but y-you have never purposely tried to....k-kill me." 

    Oh how murdoc wanted to be able to listen to 2d and stop.....but obsidian could sense that his vessel was becoming mentally weak as his grasps loosened.....no no no...if murdoc truly wanted his part of the deal....he was going to fucking get what he decided was worth making a deal over. Obsidian would suddenly firm his grasp on murdoc/s humanity forcing murdoc to go back into his aggressive state of mind and clearing away any sympathy that murdoc had for 2d.

Suddenly murdoc would lunge at 2d with immense strength. 2d drops the microphone stand in pure shock as murdoc slams 2d into the wall. 2d looked at murdoc's angered face ...tears going down 2d's face ...now able to recognize...that the man that he once saw as a friend, bandmate, and even a family member ... .was no longer himself. As 2d was forced to become submissive murdoc would give an uppercut punch to 2d's skull causing the already awful brain damage to become even worse. 2d was knocked out going limp and slinking onto the ground underneath murdoc.

With obsidian's limited time left to have full control of murdoc's action he quickly drags the lanky singer to the car letting 2d get bruised up from being dragged on the ground. 2d gets thrown into the backseat. Murdoc would grab the rope tying it around 2d's limbs and tie him down on the car seat, keeping the singer from attempting any sort of escape. After binding 2d down murdoc would grab the bag of strong painkillers forcing 2d's mouth open and forcing the unconscious singer to down many numbing and strong drugs in unhealthy amounts. After 2d is fully drugged up with no way of freeing himself murdoc gets back to the driver's seat. Driving out of bloom!verse and heading on this soon to be real life nightmare for the whole band.
