Running Out Of Time
Chapter 17
He Discovers
Doc opened the large barn door, and him , Dan, Marty, Jennifer and Eduardo walked in. He lit the other lanterns. When the barn was totally lit, Dan and Eduardo's mouths dropped as they saw a large, strange looking Locomotive sitting in the middle of the barn.
Eduardo: Holy crap, that's one big piece of hardware!
Doc: Like it? She's my newest and greatest creation. That is my new time machine! And do you know what it runs on?
Marty: Steam?
Doc: How did you know that?
Marty: ESP.
Doc: Well, I need some 2017 components installed, but I forgot how to solder, which is why I need your help, Dan.
Dan: Hey, it's no problem. Just hand me a soldering iron, and I'll get crackin'.

Dan laid on his back in the cab of the time train, as he soldered old-fashioned fabric-wrapped cable and futuristic alloy wires together under the main control panel. Doc stood on the outside of the train in the back, installing a different version of the Mr. Fusion. Marty and Jennifer sat in the DeLorean with the doors open, asleep, and Eduardo laid on a hay bail on the far end of the barn, asleep as well. As Dan and Doc continued their work, they talked...
Dan: So, where's your wife?
Doc: Oh, she decided to stay with her sister in Davenport for a week. She took the boys with her. She figured I needed some time to work alone.
Dan: Couldn't come at a better time, eh, Doctor Brown?
Doc: I guess so. Oh, and please... Call me Doc.
Dan: Ok, Doc. What's her name?
Doc: Clara.
Dan: Clara... That's a lovely name. And the boys?
Doc: My oldest is Jules, and my youngest is Verne.
Dan: Jules... Verne... Jules Verne? You named them after the author?
Doc: Yeah. He's my favorite author. I remember one time, when I was in the DeLorean, I had just gotten the hover conversion done, when I decided to try and attempt to fly around the world, like in, "Around The World In Eighty Days". Of course, when I got to around Michigan, I realized I had stopped more times to refuel then I had figured, so I skipped on the idea. I realized I wouldn't have enough fuel to make it over the Atlantic ocean. It was too dangerous a risk, so I turned around, and headed back home.
Dan: I swear, that dude must have had some kind of ESP or something, because he predicted most of the stuff that we've seen in the modern world. We can fly faster and farther then ever before, we've went to the moon, we can dig deaths 3 miles under the earths crust, and we've explored the ocean, and discovered that other forms of life have established themselves on the floor of it. That man was the greatest inspiration to the field of science since Socrates.
Doc: You've read his work?
Dan: No, but I saw the Disney movies.
Doc: Fair enough.
Dan: Hey, what the hell is it I'm putting in here, anyway?
Doc: Those are the hover circuits. I wanted to do it myself so no one would get suspicious of the strange, old looking time vehicle.
While they worked, the hood of the DeLorean popped open a crack, and Biff looked around to see where he was. First, he looked in the cab of the DeLorean. When he saw the couple sitting there, he quickly ducked down. He then took another look, and saw they were asleep. He sighed, as he looked out one of the sides. He saw Doc Brown standing next to the comic-looking train. He then heard Dan talking from out the cab of the train.
Dan: Well, I can't blame ya there. If you didn't tell me what it was, I would be wondering what the hell it was too.
Doc: If there was a way to disguise the time machine, I would of done it by now.
Biff: ::under breath: Time machine?
Dan: Why did you want the other time machine destroyed, anyway?
Doc: Well, it just so ended up that time travel was much to dangerous, not for the fact that if I did something wrong, but if the time machine fell into the wrong hands, and sure enough, it did.
Dan: How?
Doc: Well, in 1985, there was this town nuisance by the name of Biff Tannen. When we went to 2015 to stop Marty's kid from ending up in jail, somehow, Biff from 2015 found out about the DeLorean, took a sports almanac with him to 1955, and gave it to his younger self.
Biff was about to choke. He was the old man he saw back then.
Doc: After we came back to 1985, we found out that history had been altered because of Biff's actions with the information in the sports book. When we discovered when he gave himself the book, we had to go back, and retrieve it in order to restore the timeline. Marty was finally able to get the book from him, and destroy it.
It was then, it all hit Biff like a ton of bricks. McFly was Kline. That thing he saw in the sky that night 30 years ago, was the flying DeLorean he saw not but 2 days earlier, and the DeLorean itself... was a time machine.
Extreme rage filled Biff, as he donned on what he had just learned. But, something else slapped him in the head... The words, "Proton Pack." Then, he realized...
Biff: So, the Ghostbusters, Doctor Brown, and Marty McFly are time travelers. Well, it will be a great joy watching them travel to hell when I'm done with them.
Biff shut the trunk on himself, and quietly laughed as he formulated a plan.
