While Derek was in the ring fighting with Jack, Freddy was taking a beating in the basket ball locker room.
Freddy was in the cafeteria when the whole thing happened, he saw his friend who was extremely weak, slow and scared, fighting off his oppressors.
This greatly surprised Freddy because he knew Derek wasn't this strong last week, and now he's the talk of the school, after the fight he left the cafeteria, as though he had not a single care in the world.
As the bell ringed, Freddy got up and exited the cafeteria as he head for the basketball hall, since Derek left him.
"What the hell is wrong with Derek, how the hell did he do that", Freddy wondered.
As he was walking to the basketball hall he came across Derek, but Derek wasn't heading that direction, so he asked,"bro what's up with you, you literally destroyed those guy back there, how did you do that".
Derek stammered a few times before talking,"I got so angry at them that I couldn't control myself and I fought back", Derek answered.
Freddy watched his countenance, his composure, he noticed that Derek was seriously sweating signifying that he's lying.
"But that doesn't explain the increase in strength and speed, Derek are you seriously lying to me right now", Freddy asked.
Derek was pained by the question his friend asked him, but he couldn't tell him the truth so instead he lied again,"no i mean I've been working out more often now"
Freddy put his hand on Derek shoulder and asked,"hope it's not that senior, what's his again, sage hope he isn't giving you any enhancement drugs you know how dangerous the side effects can be".
"What, no I don't even have the money to buy enhancements drugs, I barely have enough money to eat, talk less of buying an enhancement drug, what do you take me for", Derek replied.
"Anyway am just looking out for you as a friend that's all", Freddy said.
Derek hogged Freddy and whispered into his ear,"thanks bro I really appreciate".
After the hug Derek told Freddy that he was going to the martial arts club, and he asked Freddy follow him there, but Freddy refused saying that he was now interested in joining the basketball team.
Derek was happy for him, but he will also miss his companion, so both of them agreed to meet after school, they said their goodbye and went their separate ways.
So Freddy continued his journey to the basketball area, not long after he arrived at the hall, and the coach told him that he is playing today, so he entered the locker room to change into his basketball kit.
But he was unaware that the twin brothers were still in the room, and immediately he entered the room, the door behind him was closed, and before he could look at the person that closed the door he was punched to the stomach.
Both the brothers punched him straight in his stomach, they punched his face, slapped him and they stumped on him for the whole two hours of club activities.
And they left him on the floor, in pains as he rolled and clamped himself, they kicked him again, and blood spilled from his mouth.
"Hey Freddy you better tell Derek that no one can ever beat us and get away with it", Paul said.
Freddy was trying to stand but he couldn't, so he stayed at a kneeling position and said,"but what he did had nothing to do with me...".
Derek received another punch to the eye as he fell backwards to the ground.
"Shut the hell up, you're his friend so you have to pay for his sins, tell him that our gang is now after him, he should watch his back", Peter said as they all walked out of the locker room.
Freddy stood up to his feet's as he tried to get into the bathroom that was located there in the locker room, he entered the bathroom, he on the shower he stayed there for some time.
After his long hot bath he came out of the shower smoking hot, now he was feeling a lot more better, so he changed into his normal uniform and exited the room.
The bell rang, So he walked to the school main gate as he was going there he saw Sage, he quickly followed sage and asked him about Derek, but sage told him that he didn't give Derek any enhancement drug.
Sage then told Freddy not to ask him any other question, so Freddy had no choice but to let him be, as he walked he was disappointed at himself.
"Why am I so weak, why can't I be like everybody else, even Derek is now strong, he left me alone to fend for myself, and he wouldn't tell me where he got his new found power from", Freddy thought.
While in his thoughts someone approached him and asked him a question, he was surprised that someone actually heard him as he was speaking to Sage.
"My name is Joseph and I heard what you just said to Sage, I can direct you to a place where you can get some good enhancement drugs", Joseph said.
Freddy took a good look at Joseph, he looked kinda shabby, he may truly know something, so he asked,"where is the place".
"Well I could show you but you gat to pay me a 100 bucks first for the information" Joseph said looking at Freddy in a demonic way.
Freddy brought out his wallet and gave Joseph the 100 Bucks, he then asked,"okay where is the place".
Joseph responded,"meet me 7:00 pm in the evening at the front of the school, and I'll take you to the man, you'll also need to pay for the drugs, so you know.
Joseph walked out on Freddy, Freddy was now a bit happy despite the pain he was going through he knew he would be stronger soon.
He soon walked to the school gate, there he saw Derek waiting for him.
"What took you so long", Derek asked,
"Nothing much, just some announcement", Freddy lied.
"Ok then let's get home", Derek said.
As they were walking home, Derek noticed the bruises on his friends body, and asked,"Freddy what happened to you".
"Nothing it just a bruise I got from playing basketball", Freddy lied again.
But upon taking a closer look at him Derek noticed Freddy had a black eye,"so he held Freddy and asked,"are you being bullied, who the hell touched you", Derek asked furiously.

"Let go of my hand bro I said it's cool nobody did anything to me", Freddy said as he took a different route home leaving Derek alone in the alley.

Derek was so angry that he punched the wall, the punch was so hard that a big crack appeared on the wall.

He saw the notification and noticed that his health has increased, meaning that he was healing, and right now he was not feeling much pain in the arm that got broken.
Derek also remembered that he got a notification about his system upgrade, but he decided that he would check it when he got home.
He got a message from his phone,and he brought the phone out to check what it was,
He read the contents of the text message, it was the bank telling him that they were done creating an account for him.
So he changed his direction and started To walking towards the bank, a few minutes he got to the bank, and he went to the woman's office and collected his bank credentials as well as his debit card.
He also asked the woman to link his account to his phone, so that he could make transfers through his phone, the woman happily did the linking for Derek, and Derek deposited his 750 bucks to the woman.
Afterwards he exited the bank and started heading home, not long after he got home, he received a credit alert signifying that she has successfully made the deposit.
Derek went straight to the kitchen as always, he brought out a sandwich and ate, he opens a milk in the fridge and drank it all up.
After that he got upstairs and started preparing for his gang job.
