Fred: An Unordinary Story

Chapter 5: Initiation

Rose was super cool. She helped me through the day that day. She talked to me when no one else did. But the one time I needed her, she didn't come through...

Rule number one: Don't trust people.

I was walking down the hallway, alone, trying to find my next class, when four big guys approached me, and they looked big and buff and kinda scary.

"Oooo, look, a newbie!" Said one guy with yellow hair.
"Do you think he's been initiated yet?" Said  another guy with lime green hair.

Initiated? The fuck does that mean?

"Hmmm, I don't think he has, Jeff," another guy with red hair said.
"You probably right," said a purple haired guy.

I dubbed these guys the Fruity Pebbles, and referred to them by fruits. Who cares if they have names, am I right?

Lime cracked his knuckles and popped his neck. "Can I do the first blow?"
The other Fruity Pebbles just shrugged. Then Lime advanced on me and went to punch me. I dodged and he hit the wall behind me. He pulled back and shook his hand back and forth in pain. "Son of a bitch!"
"You were the dumbass that punched the wall," I smartly stated.

That pissed Grape off. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"
"Uhhh, Fred?"
"Don't get smart with me, RUNT!" Grape exclaimed and went to punch me in the face. I blocked and pushed him back. I wasn't going to use my ability. That would've activated the other half...

Grape staggered into the rest of the Pebbles and growled. "Ouch! Damn you, stupid new kid!"
"Ugh, idiot. You attack me for no fucking reason and then don't expect me to fight back."
"Yeah..." Grape growled. "...But you dont have to hit so hard. THAT FUCKING HURTS!"
And then the Fruity Pebbles all activated their ability at once.

I had no other choice. I closed my eyes and concentrated.

Berserk....Go Berserk.
I could hear his voice in my mind. I didn't want to listen...

But he was right. I had to go Berserk.
I opened my eyes, them glowing a bright orange. I felt power surging through my body, immense levels of power coursing through my veins.

And with every passing minute, my mind slowly slipped away.

I sped around my attackers with breakneck speed, trying to throw them off. I had to do this as quickly as possible before he took over...

Normally I devise a strategy, but all I could think of was "KILL KILL KILL."

Split personalities suck ass.

I desperately ran around, punching the Fruity Pebbles until they all got tired.

I tried to deactivate my ability, but it was too late.

I no longer had control.

Dark Fred was now taking the reigns and controlling my body.

And all I had to do was watch.
