Delorean makes it back home safely and then he immediately pulls out his phone and begins calling Christopher to tell him what happened, but chris doesn't pick up then delorean collapses at night.
The next day, delorean wake up, gets dressed and head off to school with no memory except the fact that he had gotten jumped by a bunch of guys but don't know how he survived because usually the thugs have intent to kill in this town, the guys are ruthless and insane intent.
When he gets to school, he sees Christopher and tries to tell him about last night, however, chris just dismisses him off and goes to class.
Finally 5th period comes around and that's study hall for the 2 friends.
Delorean finally tells chris what happened last night except... Chris doesn't believe him one bit.
Chris needs proof then delorean shows him cut wounds and bruises that the thugs gave him and Chris begins to consider he's telling the truth, chris thinks to himself while he's beimg shown the cuts "I don't think delorean would cut himself like that".
The final piece of evidence he needs is when delorean shows him a big cut that's noticeably healing slowly on his thigh as they tore some of his pants trying to rob him and find money.
Suddenly a girl, who likes deloreaun, shows up at their table as their study hall is in the cefetaria of their school, a girl shows up asking delorean if he's available friday, he tells her "no" and resumes telling chris everything of what happened as chris is shocked.
The time skips to their 8th period class, the final class of the day, delorean is at his locker as his bully who's in the 12th grade comes up to him and tells him, "hi" as the bully then grabs delorean's bag and tosses it away, being far stronger than delorean, the bully picks delorean up by his jacket and tells him he's going to beat him up after school.
This bully was delorean's bully for 3 years but delorean was too scared of telling because the bully would often threaten him with death and pulls out his gun, delorean also know that the bully's dad is achalateo, a big crime boss in new York known for his cruelty if anyone threatens his family, even if that person is a kid like dell is.
Achalateo always means business and always escape jail shortly which is the reason why everyone fears "Chalateo" which is the bully's nickname.
Where is chris during all of this?
Usually somewhere else weirdly.
After the bullying and delorean showing chris what happened... the sticks and staff is mysteriously back at his house, more weirdly and specific, his room on his bed, laying there.
The weapons begin to glow slowly the nearer he gets to them and this put fear and disbelief in delorean as he calls chris, the only person he knows and the only friend he has, over to check it out with him.
Chris comes over and asks delorean "What's going on?" As delorean then answers "The damn sticks are glowing bro!" And Chris just puts it off as a cheap trick when delorean gives chris the escrima sticks, a weird yet powerful glow takes part in the unknown symbols printed on the sticks.
Chris dismisses the idea of any magic or scientific being involved and goes home leaving delorean confused about everything that's happening.
The next day comes and Chris is waking up in his room and mysteriously... the sticks are over at his house in his room glowing blue.
Chris is angered because he assumes that delorean had brought the sticks over to his house at night and got in the same way they always get in, through the window with a ladder.
Chris gets ready for school and sees delorean, however, delorean leaves to class before he could talk to him.
5th period comes around again and Chris and delorean are back at their table, chris attempts to confront him but is interrupted by the same girl as delorean denies her again and the 2 resumes once more their talk.
Chris confronts delorean about him trying to trick him by bringing the sticks to his house as a prank, since delorean loves pranks alot.
Delorean denies the accusations and tell chris the sticks are magical but chris still don't believe that as a fact.
Chris leaves the sticks on the table in the cafeteria since delorean doesn't want them and by 8th period, the bully is back bullying delorean.
The next day comes around as chris wakes up and sees the sticks perfectly in his hands and begins to freak out.
Chris is in disbelief and shocked since his parents don't know about the sticks, nobody else knows about the window thing and Chris is usually a light sleeper, "how could anyone touch him without me waking up?" Chris asks himself in his mind.
The same day, at the same time, awkwardly, delorean wakes up in his home encountering the same encounter with his staff, it's perfectly laid out in his hands as he wakes up.
The two prepare for school and Chris packs his escrima again in his bag, then goes off to school like yesterday.
5th period comes around and Chris is telling delorean that the escrima sticks are magic, "How did you know delorean" asks chris.
Delorean tells him that some old man told him about the sticks before he bought them but he didn't believe, well, now delorean and Chris both do.
Chris and delorean walks home after school and delorean's bully with a gang of 7 other guys come around the corner, chris and delorean are far from Chris' home, where they were heading off to that day.
Bully: "Where you two heading off to, huh?"
Chris: "Listen, we don't want any trouble, you monkeys can go find bananas to mess with, we're not them."
Bully: (Mockingly laughs)
"First time catching you with delorean over here chris!"
"You're popularity won't stop me from taking your damn money though!"
Chris: "Ahahaha, I'd love to see you and your pets try to take it!"
>As the 2 friends begin to walk away.. suddenly, the bully grab chris on the shoulder but then chris pushes his hand off his shoulder and roundhouse kicks the bully in the arm but it doesn't do anything to him.
The bully is 6'8 while chris and delorean are 5'9 each.
The kick does nothing even though chris is a pretty good martial artist.
While delorean is not one bit.
After chris attempts to fight back against the bully, the bully tells his gang to pin down delorean while he fights chris, the gang beat down delorean until he's unable to move as they all gang up on chris... Chris is good but he can't take down 7 boys!
While delorean is on the ground in pain, unable to move because of the bully and his gang beating him.
Delorean thinks to himself, "Damn it, WHY CAN'T MOVE?"
"WHY DO I GOTTA BE A BITCH?"
"WHY.. WHY..WH?" In the most regretful tone.
Then... as he witnesses chris getting beaten like he has been his whole life, his mother got killed, his father was abusive, his younger brother is counting on him to be a strong older brother, he looks up to delorean.
As he's reminiscing about all that stuff, all the events that happened to him, he wasn't there to save his mom, he couldn't fight his dad back who went to jail, his grandmother and his little brother is all he has left, chris is the only friend he's made, he screams out loud as he's able to move his mouth, "TIME FOR THIS TO END!", then... his heart starts pounding and his body begin to vibrate almost like... electricity has formed in him, he's knocked out cold, lying on the floor unconscious and still, as everyone stare at him for a while... suddenly, the bully's gang gets token out one after another, cold and unconscious.
There's only 2 remaining, chris and the bully, both confused, when they look over at delorean, who's been knocked out for a while face lying flat on the concrete, delorean's body fades into nothingness, dissappears.
Chris with tears flowing down his eyes and electricity sparking around him, 20 meters from the bully, the bully begin to run and pee his pants.
Delorean lets him get 50 meters ahead before running as fast he can clotheslining the bully before hospitalizing him for 4 months.
Delorean's body has had enough and delorean is knocked out cold, once again, for the 3rd time once more!
Chris just drops to his knees while he sees the bo-staff in delorean's hands as he lay there on his back gripping the wooden stick tight while being knocked out cold from the fight.
