The first thing that Marty noticed that was not right when they arrived in 2045 was the bridge.
"DOC!!! Come here! Quick! Look what's happened to the bridge!"
Everyone looked over to the Eastwood Ravine.
Or, more specifically, what was left of Eastwood Ravine.
The once proud ravine that Marty crossed over from 1885 was now a murky old bridge. It looked crumbly, with loads of graffiti. The bridge itself was also split in half.
"Oh that's not the worst." Doc said. "Look what it says on the sign."
Marty read the sign. Instead of saying Eastwood Ravine, it said "Tannen Ravine."
"That son of a bitch!" Marty cried. "He named the ravine after himself."
"It gets worse." Clara said. "Much worse."
Marty saw that they were going past Hilldale, which was a complete dump. Houses were damaged, hover cars were smashed, stray dogs were everywhere and the sign that said Hilldale, the i was covered and replaced with a e, calling it "Helldale"
"Oh god this is awful. It can't get any more worse." Marty said with disbelief.
They then went to the centre of Hill Valley, hovering above the air, and things indeed got worse. The centre looked highly advanced, yet run down at the same time. Stores were shut down except for some nightclubs and XXX bars, bikers were flying around the air with hover bikes, releasing enough smoke that could make a heavy smoker sick. The Cafe 80's was replaced, now saying "Griff's cafe." And the clocktower was gone, replaced with a huge building that looked like Biff's Pleasure Paradise, saying "Hotel Tannen."
Marty saw someone in the dumpster with another person pawing for food. He stared at the person. It couldn't be who he thought it was, could it.
"Uh Doc, I don't suppose that bum in the dumpster is, my brother?" Marty said, hoping he was wrong.
But Doc had a grimace on his face, "I'm afraid so." He said sadly.
Marty gasped. He took a closer look. It was indeed Dave Mcfly. He looked 50 years older, which was obvious since he was in the future. Marty also saw that former mayor of 1955 Hill Valley Red Thomas, who Marty knew as Red the bum from 1985, was next to Dave, also pawing for food.
"We have to stop this!" Marty said. "I don't want to live in this kind of future."
"We hope." Doc said.
They landed the train on the top of the rood of Griff's hotel. Since no one went up there, it was safe. They all got out.
"Now let me explain our plan for confirming that this was because of Griff getting an almanac. Marty, you will go in the hotel and go to Griff, who is on the 27th floor, under the identity of Marty McFly Jr's son, Mark." Doc said.
"But why do I have to go?" Marty whined.
"I can't go, because I was murdered!" Doc said.
"How is that possible? Weren't you in the old west for about, um 10 years or so?" Marty said.
"11 years. And anyway, maybe this is telling us that someday, I decide to move to the future." Doc said.
"Right. And then we'll all go to see the Bee Gees perform." Marty snickered.
"Anyway." Doc said, getting back to the point. "You ask him about if you got the almanac. Once you have found out, get back up as quickly as you can." We'll be here for back up."
"But what if Griff tries to kill me?" Marty said uneasily.
"Then you will use the Sleep Inducer Alpha Rhythm Generator, the one that I used to make Jennifer fall asleep in 2015.
Doc gave Marty the sleep inducer. It was greyish blue and had two levers for the yes and a switch on the handle. "To use it, press this button." Doc said. "Got it?"
"Yeah." Marty said.
"You can do it Marty!" Verne said.
"The best of luck to you." Jules said.
"Thanks. I'm ready to go." Marty said.
Then Marty went down to the door, opened it and went down to Griff.
