Then one time a librarian, Helen who is frustrated super hero wanabe, tells both Fredo and Prof. Manalo about an article she read of an orb located in Intramuros that was said to give out powers to whoever posesses it. They all journeyed to Intramuros in search for the orb and found inside a dead alien's body. Because of Fredo's clumsiness, the orb got lost. But it actually went into Fredo's shirt pocket.
