I wake up screaming at the top of my lungs.
Russ smacks me in the face.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US WRECKED, DUMBASS!?"
"No, I just- I had a nightmare."
We're in the car, driving to the house. Noodle is on the phone. She hangs up.
"Popcaan is already there. I told him we'd be a few more minutes."
"Perfect."
I wake myself up a little more.
"What are we doing again?"
"Visiting Popcaan."
"Where?"
"His house."
"Oh, okay."
I look out the window. We're in an old looking neighborhood.
"This doesn't look like the best neighborhood. Isn't he rich and famous?"
"This is his summer home."
"It's fall."
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY!?"
"I don't-- I'm sorry, jeez."
We stop at an old house. We get out and ring the doorbell.
The whole house shacks a bit.
"Strangest doorbell I ever heard.
The door opens.
"Looks like a fixer upper."
Popcaan is in the kitchen.
"Hey, guys, come in. And close the door, will ya'?"
We walk in. I close the door behind me.
"Listen, I have some stuff to do real quick. It should only take about ten minutes, so you guys can make yourselves at home."
"Okay. Thanks."
"Anything for you guys."
He goes into his basement.
"Let's split and take a look around."
Murdoc looks at Russ after looking all around.
"Good idea."
Noodle goes down the hallway Popcaan went down, Russ goes up stairs, and Murdoc goes down a different hallway.
I stay in the kitchen.
Suddenly, the refrigerator opens by itself.
"Wow!"
As I walk over to it, I hear Murdoc.
"Hey, guys! I'm just gonna take a bath!"
I hear Russ' inaudible talking and then the roof shakes a little bit.
"What the--"
Music comes from the hallway Noodle went down.
I look in the fridge and find a cake.
As I take it out, it flies into my face. I fall over.
I hear a voice that sounds like Popcaan.
I stand up to see a talking slice of pizza.
"WHAT THE HELL!?"
I run down the hallway Noodle went down.
I see her being strangled by the same blue snake from my dream.
"2D! Help!"
"I don't know how!"
I see two novelty swords hanging on the wall. I grab one and cut the head off of the blue snake.
Noodle gets up and grabs the other one and runs up the stairs.
"2D...."
The snake is still alive.
"Gorillaz are irrelevant...."
I stab it in the eye.
I run down the other hallway and see Murdoc in the bath. He's shaking his head.
"Murdoc, are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"Never mind. We gotta go, so get dressed."
"You're not the boss of me."
"JUST DO IT!"
I run up the stairs. Noodle's sword is bloody and the black creature from my dream is dead on the floor.
Russ looks terrified on the bed.
"We should go."
Murdoc runs up.
"De La Soul's in town!"Popcaan comes back into the kitchen.
"Okay, guys. Let's just-- What the hell!?"
He picks up a note on the counter.
"Popcaan, we're sorry about your house. Weird creatures attacked us, so we killed them and left. From Gorillaz.... Dammit."
