Chapter 2
Time: 5: 23 PM
Ulrich is currently in his room, getting ready for the upcoming concert. Ulrich is dressed in his dark green cargo pants with a black button up dress shirt, with the first few buttons undone. He wants to look he tried to look nice with a somewhat casual look.
Then suddenly, Odd entered the room, holding an awful red mark which was looked like it was tattooed on his face by a firm hand.
"Hey, look at you!" Odd said loudly, which cause Ulrich to jump. "Big date tonight?"
"First of all, never do that again!" Ulrich said, throwing a shoe at him. "Second, I'm going to the subdigital's concert tonight and…"
"And you didn't invite me?!" Odd interrupted, pretending to hold his heart like it was broken.
Ulrich rolled his eyes as he picked up his shoes and began to tie them.
"So tell me, who's the lucky lady?" Odd asked as he layed on his bed and pulled out a comic book, opening it to a random page.
"None of your business…" Ulrich said, scratching his face to cover his blushing.
"Alright, just answer this question." Odd sat up for a second. "This girl wouldn't have pink hair would she?"
Ulrich's face turned pale as he faced Odd. "W-What gave you that idea?"
Odd just rolled his eyes. "Cause I know you, it's rare for you to ask out a girl suddenly, you have to know her." Odd said, laying back down on the bed. "Since Yumi's taken, it has too be either Aelita or Sissi."
Odd suddenly had a look of fear on his face. "Please don't tell me you're going with Sissi!"
"No! Of course not!" Ulrich shuttered at the thought of Sissi. "And it doesn't have to be Aelita, I know other girls."
This just caused Odd to laugh at him, angering Ulrich.
"I don't even think this is a date." Ulrich started as he applied some cologne. "It's just two friends going to a concert, no different if you and me were going."
"I should be going!" Odd yelled, a smirk his face.
"Whatever, I'm going to be late." Ulrich slapped hands with Odd and left the room.
"Good luck baby!" Ulrich heard Odd tease from behind the closed door
Outside Aelita's room
Ulrich arrived just outside Aelita's door and he knocked on the door after a deep breath.
"Just a minute!" Ulrich heard from behind the door and a few seconds later the door opened. Aelita is wearing a black jacket with a matching black tank top with a giant pink star in the middle. She's also wearing a pink mini skirt with black leggings.
Ulrich's mouth was opened wide in shock, this outfit is something Aelita would rarely wear. Why is she wearing it now, is it for him?! This thought caused him to blush.
Ulrich's reaction caused Aelita to giggle a little. "Ready to go?"
Ulrich dismissed these thoughts and nodded in response. Both teens began the short walk to the concert, smiles on both their faces.
After the Concert
Aelita is walking down the street with a little skip in her step. "Wow, I haven't had that much fun in ages!"
"Yeah, it was a great time." Ulrich said, walking right behind the still ecstatic girl. "What was your favorite part?"
"Definitely when Chris stage dived into the crowd after the final performance." Aelita told him, slowing down so she and Ulrich were walking side by side.
Ulrich nodded in agreement. "I have to agree with you there princess."
In order to get back to Kadic, the teens have to go through a back ally which currently has a gang occupying the corners. The gang has no more then 5 people just leaning against a wall.
Ulrich tried to lead Aelita past the gang without making eye contact with any of the members, no need to cause any trouble.
Then all of a sudden, a guy with a shaved head and a black leather jacket reached out and grabbed Aelita's arm. "Hey cutie, how you drop the zero and add a hero." The guy said with a weird smile.
"Let go of me you creep!" Aelita pulled away, her heart beating fast as she was grabbed.
"Let go of her buddy!" Ulrich pulled them apart and stood in front of the man.
"Yo boss, want us to end this kid?" Ulrich turned around and saw a bunch of them walking towards him.
Ulrich whispered to Aelita to run away and call the police, then he push her away before Ulrich was circled by the entire gang.
Aelita was hesitant but eventually ran away, a couple tears running down her face as she pulled out her phone, all she can do is wish that Ulrich will be alright.
Ulrich looked at each individual man. Neither of them looked really impressive, it was just the numbers that intimidated him. 5-1 isn't very good odds for Ulrich.
Not wasting time, Ulrich landed a round house kick against one of the goons and landed a couple good shots against a couple others.
Then when Ulrich turned around, he walked right into a punch by the leader. That one punch almost knocked out Ulrich and caused tremendous pain in his head. He put his hand on his forehead to check the damage, it turns out his he has an open cut on his head and he's bleeding bad.
He looked over at the leader and noticed that he has something attached to his hand, which he determined was brass knuckles.
Then like vultures, the goons began to punch and kick Ulrich repeatedly while he laid on the ground, defenseless.
"Get em up!" The boss ordered pulling a knife out of his pocket. With help of the goons, Ulrich staggered to his feet, completely drained of his strength.
"Say goodbye kid!" The boss sharpened his knife and before he can deliver the final blow, he was tackled to the ground by a shadowy figure.
When the others dropped Ulrich and tried to help their leader, they were met by more shadowy figures. This caused a huge brawl to erupt.
"Ulrich!" The bloody boy heard someone call his name and he was met with a soft hug. He looked up and saw the tear stained face of Aelita. "It's ok, it'll be ok…" He heard Aelita whisper as she tried to help him up, his arm around her neck for support.
"Hey girl!" Aelita backed up as she saw the now beat up boss, bruises all over his face. The worst part, he's still holding his knife.
As the bloody Ulrich saw the man run at Aelita with the knife in hand, he used the last of his strength to jump in front of Aelita and stand in the way of the blade in order to protect her. A few seconds later, Ulrich let out a scream in pain as his stomach was penetrated by the sharp knife. Just as fast as the blade entered it left and the villain pushed him to the ground.
As Ulrich fell to the ground, he heard Aelita cry out his name in fear and sadness. As he drifted in and out of consciousness, he finally heard the sounds of police sirens coming from just outside the ally.
Then everything suddenly turned black…
