"Man Doc," said Marty as the DeLorean came around. Doctor Brown drove the car up to Marty, and pushed open the doors, stepping out, "the new Time Machine looks great!" The Doc smiled, looking down at his creation.
"I know, I made some modifications, and now it is better than ever."
"Yeah I've been meaning to ask you Doc, why did you build another one of these, remember all the problems it brought us last time?" asked Marty, looking skeptically at the DeLorean with distaste. The thing had been so bad last time, he really didn't want to use it again.
"Because Marty," replied Doc, moving back into the front seat of the car, "risks must be taken in the pursuit of science. Besides, I have made a huge modification to the time machine. Come over here," Doc waved Marty over, who sighed and walked over to the DeLorean.
"Ok, you see that Marty?" Doctor Brown pointed to the back.
"Doc, I've already seen the Flux Capacitor, there's nothing different about it." Marty asked, staring at the familiar device. The three flashing tubes eradiating light.
"No Marty, there is a difference. Look right next to it." Marty took another glance, but this time noticed a small panel next to the Flux Capacitor. He looked at the Doc, who nodded, and Marty opened the small panel, revealing a red button, a black dial, and a time circuit.
"What's is this Doc, looks kind of like the time circuit's on the dash?"
"This little baby is what I like to call, the reset button," answered Doc, grinning like a mad man.
"Well what does it reset?"
"Well you see, this device allows anyone who uses it to immediately return to wherever that person's original time is. After the last incident I decided I should find a way to solve that problem. However if you simply twist the dial," he reached back and twisted it, followed by a beep, "It allows you to return to wherever you created a time paradox, or where you messed with the time stream, so that you can fix it. With this, we shouldn't have to worry to much about messing up the time line."
"Oh geez, this is heavy. Ok, so your saying that now we can just avoid any problems?"
"Precisely Marty. Now, how about we test this thing out."
"Sure Doc, but just promise me that nothing is going to get out of hand this time ok?" pleaded Marty.
"Marty, trust me, it'll be fine," said Doctor Brown. Marty sighed and got in the next seat.
"So ah, where are we going exactly?" asked Marty.
"We are going to go to go just one minute into the future to test this thing out." Marty just nodded as Doctor Brown punched in the numbers. He then began speeding forward down the long parking lot. Then they hit 88 mph. Sparks flew and a blue flash emanated from the front of the car, and they disappeared into the time stream.
However, instead of just usually appearing on the other side of the time stream, they appeared in a strange white glowing area that appeared to go on forever.
"Uh Doc, where are we?" Marty asked, looking nervously around. When they had first entered, it had just been a white expanse of area, but now images began appearing. Different areas of time floated around them.
"Great Scott! The time machine must have gotten trapped outside of the time stream!" cried out Doc, looking at the dash and pushing in several numbers. However, nothing changed. "Damn. Something must have happened on our way into the near future, but what?"
However, Doc didn't have time to find an explanation, as an explosion enveloped the DeLorean, and the disappeared.
