Chapter 5: Run like Hell
"KILL THEM!" screamed Leader Daisuke, and a roar was heard from the mob. Soon, the thundering sound of footsteps hitting the asphalt filled the air like a drum, reverberating off the concrete buildings on the street. "Riku, run!" yelled Daisuke, grabbing Riku by the arm and running so fast his feet couldn't keep up with how fast he wanted to run. Riku tripped a bit as she was pulled down the street by Daisuke… the mob behind them shrieking in absolute madness, trying desperately to catch up…
There were people on the street who were seeing the chase… and they were caught up in the moment… Daisuke saw what happened to them: a man who apparently was delivering mail on a bicycle stared at the scene, until one Mirror Daisuke threw himself on him, throwing him off, and then three more proceeding to beat the messenger with baseball bats….
And then, a couple, walking down the sidewalk, saw what was going on, and couldn't believe their eyes… well, the boy got mashed in the head with a baseball bat, which caused a small amount of blood to accumulate on the Mirror Daisuke's bat and on the sidewalk when he collapsed… and the girl, she was thrown on the sidewalk… and the last thing Daisuke saw of them was a raised lead pipe…
"Daisuke, this way!" said Riku, pulling Daisuke down an alley; there was a chain link fence there, topped with barbed wire… except for a small opening. "Climb up! We have to climb up!" screamed Riku, throwing herself over it. Daisuke followed suit, and then the mob. They slammed against the fence, nearly tearing it down.
Daisuke then saw why Riku took this path: because of their immense numbers, they couldn't climb up through the small opening without getting cut up against the barbed wire… but that didn't stop them… for they kept climbing, finally pushing against the rusty wire, blood splattering everywhere as they did, crashing down on the ground…
Daisuke grabbed Riku again, running down the dank alleyway, the mob not far behind, snarling, screaming and roaring like animals… "RUN LIKE HELL, DAISUKE!" Daisuke heard someone scream, "RUN, RUN AWAY! RUN LIKE HELL! WE'RE GONNA FUCK YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIEND UP! AND WE'RE GONNA SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR MOMMA IN A CARDBOARD BOX!"
Daisuke looked back, trying to locate who in the mob had screamed… but then another problem arose: a dead end. Daisuke and Riku stopped, and they scrambled about… but there was no way out… no way out… no way out… no way out… no way out…
"TRAPPED LIKE RATS!" someone screamed… yeah, trapped like rats… no wait… we're not rats… we're not rats… we're not rats… "Daisuke, over here!" said Riku, and Daisuke turned to her; she was pulling on a small grating which Daisuke doubted he was going to fit through… but when an angry mob is hunting you, you really don't care.
First to go in was Riku; she screamed as she fell, meaning this was more of a hole than anything else… but as he was squeezing through, Daisuke got grabbed by a Mirror Daisuke; the first he did was punch Daisuke in the face, breaking his nose. The next thing was to try to pull him out as ferociously as he could… then the others joined in, occasionally hitting Daisuke… Daisuke felt his rib broken when a baseball bat connected with his chest, and someone kept beating his face in… however, the worst hadn't even started: one of the Mirror Daisukes proceeded to punch Daisuke…
Daisuke saw it coming, even with all those guys pulling on his shirt, but he couldn't block it, and he ended up getting hit by a fist and his blocking hand… then, the Mirror Daisuke grabbed Daisuke's arm and pulled it with extreme force in one fell second… so hard that it dislocated it, and then gave Daisuke one final, knockout punch before Daisuke finally was freed from the clutches of his pursuers, who's fingers slipped… and the next thing he knew, Daisuke hit cold, muddy earth…
"Daisuke, are you ok?" said Riku, crouching over Daisuke, checking his wounds… "Oh my goodness… what happened to your arm?" said Riku, feeling the arm, stopping at the top, where a lump had appeared,
"Ugh…… Riku…… Riku……" said Daisuke… "Please……………… kill me"
