Marty lay on his bed looking up at the ceiling. He held his guitar on his lap and gently brushed the chords. The time machine had just been destroyed in the train crash and he was starting to already miss the adventures he had been on. even if they were life threatening they were probably the greatest moments of his young life. he look over at his bedside table to see a picture of him and doc standing in front of the clock tower in the old west. this was the last time that he had seen doc brown. since then doc has been on his travels through time with his wife and kids. Marty sighed from his boredom.
"where are you doc... I'm really starting to miss you" He said sitting up and picking up the picture. suddenly Marty heard a loud crash outside his house and he ran to see what it was.
Marty was astonished by what he saw. although he was expecting to see the time machine what he did see was much more crazy. He looked into the sky to see huge black ships hovering above his town. lasers started to fire from the ships and destroy whole blocks of street and burn down trees.
"Jesus Christ!" Marty shouted as he ran out of the way of the beams. the ships where starting to tear down the whole town when Marty heard the iconic sound of cracks and pops from down the road. Suddenly the time traveling Delorean came shooting down the road out of a ball of blue light. its tires were followed by flames that left a long trail down the street. the door swung open and Doc grabbed Marty before a beam brought a tree down on him. Doc then slammed his foot down on the accelerator and they took off.
"doc what the hell is going on! where did you get the new time machine! what are those things in the sky!" Marty said holding on for dear life.
"no time to explain. hold on!" Doc shouted as he started to punch in numbers on the panel.
"doc where are we going!" Marty shouted as doc drifted the car around so he had plenty of room to get the car up to 88 mph.
"the better question to ask would be when are we going" Doc said flooring the Accelerator and the Delorean flew down the road. the red lasers started to fall from the sky and strike the car but they would just narrowly miss. Red and Blue sparks start to appear around the car as it begins to make a jump through time. An ear shattering explosion is then heard and the car is gone from sight leaving behind a trail of burning tire tracks.
...
In a hanger filled with mechanics and scientists moving about on their business a little girl pours some tea for a group of engineers who are working on a big machine. it was a large gate like contraption that hung over the wall of the hanger. it was a large metallic hoop with many wires and lights hanging from it. It was exactly what you would expect from some sort of sci-fi movie. As mechanics crank bolts into place and weld machinery the scientists do final checks on the large computers that surround the device.
"thanks for the tea Kid" Said one of the mechanics as he stops welding and pulls off his vizor. he takes a sip from the cup and places it back on the tray and goes back to work. The sparks fly off the metal as he welds down the slabs.
"so what is this thing" the little girl asked as she covered her eyes from the light. the man takes a step back and looks up at the starking creation.
"this is what is going to bring an end to all the fighting... before it even begins." the man said
"I don't understand" the brown-haired girl said taking a step back to get a good look at the large hoop like device.
"maybe I can explain it to you Yoshika" a voice from behind the girl said as the two turn to see the eye patched commander Mio walking down towards them.
"Sakamoto. what is this thing that they have set up in the hanger. it looks complicated." Yoshika said as the man went back to work.
" This is the newest weapon to be developed by the Fuso Navy. a time Bridge" Mio said as she triumphantly puts her hands on her waist and looks up at the marvelous invention.
"a time bridge... what does it do?" Yoshika asked
"It will allow us to step through time and space to any point in history and any place in history. Its very complicated on how it all works but im not going to get into that right now. I don't even understand half of it."
"so we can step through time. does that mean that I can go see my dad again when he was alive!" Yoshika said getting excited by the capabilities. The fact that time was able to be tampered with made her believe in the possibility that she and her father could be reunited.
"Isn't that a bit selfish to use a device of such power to save only one person" Yoshika heard from behind her. Captain Barkhorn had joined the two in the hanger. She had just gotten up on this early morning and was still in the middle of tying her hair back in their two tails.
"What do you mean... Wouldn't it be helpful if we brought him back." Yoshika asked
"he would be of help but we have greater things to concern ourselves with. we don't know how many trips this thing can make if it even work." Barkhorn said. she sees that Yoshika's face starts to become sad when her hopes of seeing her father again are taken away.
"listen Yoshika... I know what it feels like to want to change the past... I want to have Chris back myself but I can't put it ahead of the world... I hope you understand why I am telling you this." Barkhorn said trying to comfort the girl.
"You two realize that if we can accomplish this mission you will probably see your loved ones again. as they were meant to be." Mio said walking over to the main station in front of the machine.
"What are you talking about... what do you mean" Barkhorn said following the commander with Yoshika close behind.
"I think I can explain this" said a man in a white lab coat and goggles. "If you would please gather the rest of your team Sakamoto... I believe we are ready" the man said to Mio and she gives him a nod of approval.
The girls one by one begin to enter the hanger until all of them are present and accounted for.
"alright is everyone here... good let us proceed" the man said standing in front of the time bridge. "many of you must be wondering why we have occupied your hanger to construct this device. your fighter wing has been chosen above all other with possibly the most important mission of this entire war. This long war against the alien threat has costed our race many lives and now is the time to take those lives back. this invention that stands before you is what is going to allow us to accomplish this task. This Time bridge will send you back years into the past before the Neuroi attack. you will be entrusted to bring schematics and battle charts from today to warn the people of yesteryear of what is to come. Now i realize that this mission may not be action packed but it will give us a huge leg up in the war to come. If we can do this many lives will be saved and we will know the enemy's every position for years.
"so if this works those who died or were injured will just be back up again" Yoshika said to Barkhorn
"your dad... and Chris... and all the others..." Barkhorn said
"are you sure its safe" Lynne asked
"well it worked in a small scale with lab rats and showed no damaging side effects except for a bit of vertigo bat that subsides after a day. we assure you that nothing will go wrong." the man said.
suddenly the lights in the hanger start to flicker and spark and the machine starts to power up.
"what the hell!" the man said running over to the control panel where other scientists are trying to regain command of the machine. "whats going on. why is it turning on" he asked as he starts to flick switches to try to force it off.
"whats going on Sakamoto" Minna asked
"yeah... this doesn't sound to good" Shirley said as Lucchini clung to her in fear.
"*yawn* i'm tired" Hartmann remarked as she slid to the ground and fell back to sleep.
"Hartmann what are you doing! how can you sleep at a time like this!" Barkhorn shouted as she tried to lift the girl to her feet.
the Time bridge was now sparking blue and red lights all over. crackles filed the room and bolts of lightning to spit out in every direction. Next a huge blue rift consumed the inside of the hoop as it warped with colors of light and dark. The rift was pulling in with the power to move a car and the girls were all standing right in front of it. one by one they were lifted form their feet and pulled in. their screams filled the room as the men panicked and tried everything to shut down the machine.
"Shirly!" Lucchini shouted as she watched her friend get sucked through the portal. "no I don't want to go!" she shouted as she was then lifted up.
"Eila take my hand!" Hartmann shouted as she reached out to Eila before she could get far off the ground. she tried to pull the girl back to the ground but the two were pulled in as well.
"Yoshika help" Lynette shouted as she was pulled through the gate.
Yoshika was starting to feel herself being pulled as she was the last one to go. she clung to the ground but found nothing to hold on to. She was a few feet from the blue portal when suddenly everything went dark and she dropped back to the ground. as the portal closed it broke the surrounding ring that stabilized it. Yoshika was safe because at the last second one of the crew members had taken an ax to the power box and ripped it to pieces. without any power to fuel the portal it closed on itself.
"Miyafuji are you alright." the scientist said running over to her and helping her up. the room was suddenly quiet as Yoshika looked around.
"Barkhorn... Mio... Lynne... anyone..." She said
"i'm sorry... I don't know what happened... something went terribly wrong" He said as Yoshika gave him a shocked stare.
"where are they... do you know where they went"
"i'm sorry... they could be anywhere in the past... we don't know for sure" he said. Yoshika fell to her knees and began to cry. everyone she was close to was now gone. scattered to the four winds of history.
"So... there is no way to get them back" She asked. the man just looked down and said nothing.
Yoshika got up and walked over to the runway out by the ocean. She needed to collect herself and be away from the others. she looked out at the sunrise and began to think of everyone she had just lost. Tears began to run down her cheeks.
Suddenly the crack and pops of thunder could be heard down the runway and then a sudden blinding flash of light appeared with the crash of thunder. Yoshika covered her eyes from the light and when she opened them she saw a silver car driving quickly towards her. She put up a large shield to protect herself and waited for the impact to come. she then heard a loud screech and the car came to a stop inches in front of her. The car was none she had seen before. It was silver and black and covered in wires and other strange devices she had never seen before. It was smoking from where it came from but it seemed like ice had covered it along the way. she looked down at the License plate that hung on its front that said in large letters CALIFORNIA and under that it read OUTATIME.
"what is this thing." She asked herself looking it over when suddenly the side of it opened up and a man with white hair and a yellow Jacket jumped out.
"Excuse me miss! Is this the base of the 501st JFW!" he asked.
"yes... or it was!" she said when suddenly the man started to jump around and shout.
"IT Worked! traveling through not only time but space as well!... wait... what do you mean it was" he said looking at the girl and then looking back in the car at the time circuits. "There must have been some sort of shift. we may have arrived a few hours later than expected. tell me girl did 'it' already happen"
"what do you mean it? are you talking about what went on in there"
"yeah doc... could you fill me in as well. i'm as confused as she is" a brown haired boy said as he got out of the car. Yoshika noticed he wore strange cloths and clearly did not look like he fit in in this time period. His jacket resembled a life preserver for some reason and his shoes where very bright and colorful.
"I'm sorry for intruding so suddenly. allow me to introduce myself and my friend here. I am doctor Emit Brown and this is Marty McFly. if my deduction is correct then you must be Yosika Miyafuji. am i wrong."
"no... but how do you know who I am... and where did you come from." she asked
"Yeah doc. I think we are owed an explanation." Marty commented.
"alright. you may want to take a seat for this. its going to take a while to explain." Doc said as Marty leans up against the hood of the car and Yosika takes a seat next to him.
"First I will fill in our young friend as to what we are doing here and how we got here in the first place. I created a time machine in the future to explore the very fabric of time and discover history's greatest secrets. My friend and I have been on many adventures through time but we will have to inform you of them at a latter date. to much to get into with so little time. We are here because the machine built years ago... or days for you i believe... has taken the greatest witches away from the war and spread them far away in history. Because you were not united your unit could not face the alien threat and thus it exists in our present... i guess the machine did more harm then good. Our time will be destroyed if we cannot correct this problem and get the other witches back. That is why you are hear Marty. I fell that you are the only man for the job of helping Yoshika get the witches back."
"but the time bridge is destroyed... there is no way to get to them." Yoshika said
"Bah! stationary time machines. the only true way to travel through time is in style. there is no need to worry. My time machine works just fine!" he said as he showed of the Delorean. Yoshika looked at it in awe now that she realized that they had used this small of a machine to travel through time and not just drive the car through a time bridge.
"but where will we search for these girls doc... we have no idea where they went." Marty said
"actually when I had started to work on the time machine again i also did some research to see if I could find any of them myself. I did find one thing that is a big step in the right direction." he said pulling out a piece of paper handing it to Marty.
he looked it over. it was a flyer from a long time ago. it had a picture of a silver haired girl standing next to a boy who looked like your average deputy on it. Marty began to read it out loud. "Come celebrate the new sheriffs fiftieth arrest at the festival. November 23."
"hey... that's Sanya. shes a sheriff!" Yoshika said looking at the picture
"a sheriff in 1874 to be precise. that is where you should be getting to Marty." doc said grabbing some supplies from the back of the car. "there should be plenty of room to seat the three of you"
"wait... three" Marty asked as doc pointed to Yoshika. "you want me to take her"
"well I don't expect the girl to just get in a time machine with a random stranger. someone she knows will make it easier on her to come back." Doc said "I have packed you some time period appropriate clothing as well. I hope it will fit you miss Miyafuji I wasn't sure of your size so I just grabbed a few different ones. I will try my hardest to find the others locations while you are gone." Doc said as he started to make his way towards the base.
"well... here we go again." Marty said as Yoshika got into the passenger side of the time machine.
"I can't believe this is happening." she said as Marty started to punch in the dates and locations on the time circuit. "have you ever been this far back with this machine Mr. McFly?" Yoshika asked as he flipped a switch and the Flux Capacitor started to glow in the back of the car.
"whats that Mr. McFly?" Yoshika asked
"That's the Flux Capacitor... Its what makes time travel possible... and you can just call me Marty."
"well... Marty... have you ever gone back to the 1800's before" she asked
"I did once..." he said backing up the car so he would have enough room to get it up to 88.
"what was it like" She asked
"well besides almost getting trampled, hung, shot several times, falling of a cliff, attacked by a bear, and possibly never being able to return back to my time again... it was pretty good. they had Frisbees"
"oh... now i'm starting to rethink this" Yoshika started to say when Marty suddenly stopped the car at the end of the runway.
"you may want to hang on to something... once this baby hits 88 miles per hour... your going to see some serious shit" Marty said and kicked down the accelerator. the car drove quickly down the runway and gained speed fast. its sparks began to go off in every direction and then consume the car in a colorful glow. a few cracks and pops are heard and then the boom. a flash of light consumes the area and all that is left are the flaming tire tracks on the runway.
