Plastic Love: Chapter 43

Chapter 42: Reinforcement

"FUCK!!!!" Murdoc had been ranting and raving for the past couple of minuets and the others watched him.

"Murdoc-sama, getting angry isn't going to help any. We have to come up with a plan to get Rei-sama back." Noodle sat her weapon down.

"She's right man, panicking won't do ya any good." Russel leaned on the island.

The bassist shouted at the sky. "Where are you?!!!?!!! You're supposed to be helping me! I need you right now!!"

The others looked at him like he had lost his mind. Perhaps Araiya being kidnapped had tipped him over the edge. 2D spoke first.

"Murdoc, who are ya talking to?"

Murdoc looked at him with a scowl on his face. "None of your business faceache." he ran a shaky hand through his hair. "Just like most....when I need help, they just abandon me...." he muttered to himself.

Suddenly a white light appeared and the Evangelist stood in front of him. "You now need me."

The bassist looked up at the help he had hired. " 'Bout time. I need to get Rei back and you can do that for me."

"I will help you get her back and defeat the Boogieman."

The other band members came over to Murdoc and looked at the Evangelist warily.

"Who are you?" Noodle eyed the girl.

"The Evangelist and I'm here to help you all. You cannot defeat Boogieman with just yourselves alone. You have to fight fire with fire."

"What's your plan?" the drummer looked down at her.

"We're going over there guns blazing as the term goes."

"WHAT!!"

"But you'll have protection. No bullet or sword will be able to pierce your bodies." The
Evangelist looked at Murdoc. "As for you, you will not be able to defeat him in that body you're currently in."

"What are you talking about?"

She pulled from her pocket the last page of the book and handed it to him. "Read this."
Murdoc took the page and looked it over. What he read blew his mind. The text basically stated that he was the one to save everyone including himself and that he would learn the meaning of sacrifice and trust.

"It has been written and so it shall come to pass." She walked up to him. "You already know what it's like to be loved for who you are. Now bring the good left inside of you to the surface and set yourself free." She put her hands on either side of his face and looked into Murdoc's eyes.

Everything from his childhood up until now flashed before Murdoc's eyes. He pulled away as a burning sensation went through his body. He fell to his knees wrapping his arms around himself.

Noodle and 2D were running to him but the Evangelist stopped them. The two watched as the bassist lifted his head and opened his eyes which were red with his pupils slitted. Light from the sky and from the ground engulfed him and two big wings came from his back. One angel and one devil, a tail that was razor sharp and pointed at the end appeared so did fangs and claws. Murdoc grew bigger which ripped his shirt to shreds. Finally a pair of ram shaped horns came from his head.

Noodle, Russel, and 2D stood in shock at what they were seeing. They didn't know what to think. Was this still the man they've known for years or was it someone else? It had to be him because they all watched him transform to this creature.

The bassist stood up straight and looked at everyone. He gave off a low growl.

The singer cautiously stepped forward not knowing if the man in front of him was hostile or not. "Murodc? Is tha' yew?"

"Of course it's me faceache. Who else would it be?" Murdoc answered in a low voice. It sounded as he was speaking in his normal voice and growling low at the same time.

"I'll explain to you later about his transformation, but now we have some business to take care of." The Evangelist put the protective block on band members and Russel lowered his hand onto the ground so the other two could get on.

Murdoc flew into the air and headed straight to the ship with everyone behind him.

Boogieman was taunting Araiya who was starting to lose conscienceless from the wound she had received when all of a sudden a blast of energy blasted him back into the wall. He rubbed his veined bald head and looked up at what caused it. He saw the bassist looking down at him in his transformed state. "What the hell....?" It took him a few seconds to realize it was Murdoc, standing up, he looked and saw the Evangelist standing next to him. "Come to die Niccals?"

"No. You're the one who's dead. I've had enough of you."

The horseman laughed. "Suit yourself and who's the flat chested freak?"

"My backup." Murdoc growled.

Boogieman summoned his ghost cohorts and they all stood in a fighting position. "What's with the look?"

Before the bassist could answer the Evangelist spoke up. "You apparently didn't complete your homework Boogieman. Murdoc's bloodline is strong and his family have been throughout history since Ancient Rome. Hince forth, he is an immortalist. His bloodline will continue until the end of time."

The masked man scoffed. "I don't care, he dies today and his bloodline ends here." He gave the signal to attack.

The pirate ship rocked violently as Russel shook it a bit to get the attention of the pirates who were below deck. Sure enough they all came pouring out like ants to see what was going on. When they saw Russel and the others, some cowered in fear. Noodle ran over to Araiya to untie her and saw the her friend had suffered significant blood loss from the wound in her shoulder.

"Noodle?"

"Rei-sama, it'll be okay." She looked toward 2D. "Stu-sama, I need help."

The singer came running over.

"Help me get her out of harm's way."

2D nodded and helped the guitarist carry Rei to a secluded spot on the ship where she wouldn't be caught in the cross fire and covered her with a makeshift blanket. They then returned to the on coming battle.

Boogieman and his minions looked at Murdoc and the others. He chuckled. "It's all of us against you six, I think it's easy to determine the winner."

"Don't get too cocky. We're the 300 of Plastic Beach and you know who won that battle." Noodle said.

Boogieman scowled. "GET THEM!!!"

The two sides rushed toward each other and clashed beginning long awaited fight.
