Running Out Of Time
Chapter 29
Unoriginal Prankster
The DeLorean screeched to a halt in front of the billboard, as Doc, Marty and Eduardo came from behind. Dan flung open the door, and stepped out. He hit his head on the door on his way out, resulting in the hood falling back into his face. Dan pulled the face apparatus off, and threw it in the cab of the car.
Dan: Damn thing.
As he took off the heavy rubber gloves, the others gathered around Dan to brief him...
Doc: I've been monitoring all the readings since your last contact, and I believe I know where he is!
Dan: Where is he?
Doc: If my calculations are correct, he's in the football field of the high school.
Dan: Did you see any other readings?
Eduardo: No. He thinks we're too far away to really see if the dude left the train.
Dan: Well, if the train's by itself, lets go get the thing! Get this over with!
Marty: Yeah. Lets get Jennifer!
Marty, Dan and Eduardo were about to get in the DeLorean, when Doc stepped in their path...
Doc: Wait... We have to remember he still has Dan's weapon, and it might be possible by this time he found the power adjustment control. We have to take extreme caution to make sure nothing will happen to us.
Dan: Doc, I could care less what the hell happens to me, but when it comes to that girl, I'm not gonna sit on my ass and worry about what might happen to me. If it's to save her, I'm willing to take the risk of vaporizing out of existence, and that's the bottom line!
Marty: Me too! There's no way in hell I could say I love her if I don't even put my life on the line for hers! If it's for the cause of keeping her alive, I'm willing to take the same risk.
Eduardo: Me? I just don't have any other use on this planet, so I consider myself lower then others.
Marty: You mean expendable?
Eduardo: Right.
There was a silence. After a moment, Dan looked over to Doc...
Dan: Well, Doc? We have three men here that are willing to die to save the timeline... The future of humanity. Whaddya say? Do we have a fourth?
Doc stood with his hands on his hips, and his head down. He looked up to the other men...
Doc: What the hell... ::sticks fist out:: Lets go for it!
Dan, Marty and Eduardo piled their hands on top of Doc's...
Eduardo: It's game time!
Dan: I'm drivin'!
Dan, still in the yellow radiation suit, jumped into the driver side. Eduardo got in the middle console, and Doc and Marty squeezed into the passenger seat. The DeLorean flew off towards the school.

11:16 PM
The DeLorean landed once again on the roof of Hill Valley High School. Both doors flew open, as all 4 men got out. Marty and Dan ran in the direction of the football field, and looked over the ledge of the roof. It was hard to see in the darkness, but both men saw an outline of the train sitting in the field.
Dan and Marty looked at each other, then ran back to the DeLorean, where Doc stood still attaching the metallic goggles to the object, and Eduardo struggled getting his Proton Pack on.
Dan: Doc, what the hell are you doing?!
Doc: I'm putting the finishing touches on my Memory Nullifier. What it does is interrupt a persons neurological impulses, and will erase a persons memory up to a certain time. After we knock Biff out, I will erase all the memory up to when he first discovered anything of the time machines, and so on.
Dan: Memory Nullifier?
Eduardo: Sounds like the Neurolizer from Men In Black.
Marty: Come on! Lets get going!
Doc: Right!
Dan: Yeah! Lets kick ass!
All 4 men ran down the stairs to the ground floor. They all peered around the side to looked at the train that was parked on the grass. The train looked as if it was abandoned, with the door left open. They all went back around the corner, and looked at each other...
Marty: Where's Biff?
Dan pulled the PKE meter off the belt of the radiation suit, and turned it on. He was only getting 2 readings...
Dan: I'm only getting the DeLorean and the train. It might be possible Jennifer's somewhere in the train, and Biff went to do something else.
Eduardo: Well, if the door's open, and Jennifer's in there, why isn't she trying to run, or something?
Doc: He might have found the baggage compartment in the back. He could of put her in there while off doing something else.
Marty: I'll go check it.
Marty proceeded around the corner, when Dan grabbed him by the shoulder...
Dan: Wait, you're not going out there by yourself. Eddy, you do with him.
After a stressed sigh, Eduardo and Marty advanced to the train. Dan and Doc watched from around the corner...
Doc: Why didn't you go out there?
Dan: Because I'm wearing a bright yellow suit with orange reflective tape trimming it. I don't think people can miss me, even at this time a night.
Marty and Eduardo ran across the field, stopping every-so-often to check and see if anyone was around, and if they saw them, hiding behind every object they crossed. When they reached the train, Marty started looking for the latch that opened the baggage compartment. Eduardo took a quick look-around, then turned to watch Marty try and open the door.
Doc and Dan watched from the distance, when they heard a stern voice from behind them...
Voice: Hey! You two!
The Ghostbuster and the scientist jumped as they turned around to face an older, balding man in a suit with a bow tie, with a whistle around his neck. He looked at then narrowly as he snapped again...
Man: Who are you?! And what are you doing on privet property after hours?!
From up to that point, he was mainly paying attention to the radiation suit Dan was wearing, and not so much Doc. The man then looked at Doc...
Man: Doctor Emmett Brown, what in the name of the Lord do you think you're doing here?
Dan and Doc looked at each other, and tried to think of a response. Doc turned back...
Doc: Bu... Uh... I was just taking a little walk... with my friend here, Mr. Strickland.
The man, who Dan now knew as Strickland, looked at them suspiciously, but more towards Dan, because the peculiar color of the suit he had on.
Strickland: And you are?
Dan felt almost as if he were screwed...
Dan: Look, I don't think I should tell you that...
Back at the train, Marty had just finished checking the baggage compartment. He crawled out, and while still looking at the compartment, he spoke to Eduardo...
Marty: I don't get it. Where could the both of them be?
Before Eduardo could answer, someone walked up from behind him, and slammed him in the back of the head with a blunt object. When Eduardo hit the ground with a thud, Marty turned around, when at the same time, he got decked across the face with the same object. He flipped around, and slammed his head into the side of the train, then collapsed.
Marty looked up to find a silhouetted figure in front of him. The figure then walked out of the shadows and showed himself. If was 85' Biff...
Biff: What the...?! I thought I killed you!
Biff pointed the gun at Marty's head. Dan turned around to find Marty and Eduardo on the ground, and Biff standing above Marty. He turned back, but then took a double take. Dan tugged on Doc's shirt sleeve, and motioned to look around the corner. He saw the same out of the corner of his eyes. The looked at each other, then began to slowly turn, when Strickland grabbed them by their shoulders...
Strickland: You're not going anywhere until I find out who you are!
Dan, now really pissed, spun around, and cracked Strickland across the face. Turning back to the situation, Dan unhooked his thrower, and fired. The proton stream lined the ground, in hopes of hitting Biff in the feet. Biff started hopping around to avoid getting hit by the stream. He jumped into the train, and shut the doors.
Dan shut off the beam, as him and Doc ran over to the train. The oversized time vehicle began rising off the ground. Dan jumped up, and waved he hand in the air to see if he could grab something on the train. No luck...
Dan: Man, you've gotta be shittin' me!
The thrusters from under the transformed wheels of the train lit up the entire football field, then vanished into the sky. Doc helped up Marty, but Eduardo was beyond that of being revived by smelling salts; He was out cold. Dan turned to the others...
Dan: Come on! Back to the DeLorean!
Marty: What about Eduardo?!
Dan: We can pick him up later, he's fine! We have to get Tannen before he does something else!
Dan ran through the field, and up the stairs to the roof of the school. Doc and Marty followed suit. Dan pointed to Doc, then pointed to the driver side, indicating for Doc to drive. Marty got in the passenger side first, then Dan. The passenger door was left open as the stainless steel auto once again penetrated the night sky.
