From that point on, 2D and Murdoc were extra careful. But after that, everyone just left. Noodle left first, after the El Mañana incident. After the three of them got a distress signal from Noodle, Murdoc went to look for her in Hell. Russel was the second to leave, he went to go look for Noodle himself. After that it was just 2D and Murdoc, but even 2D left. He knew that there wasn't any hope of finding Noodle, even if she was still alive. And with that, Murdoc burnt Kong Studio to the ground and tried to start over again.
