The boy thought for a moment. "Why would you want my father's riches?" Needles turned around, looking about to make sure no one was watching. Then, he crouched down and muffled the boy's mouth so he could not scream for help.
"Find me the gold or you will die," whispered Needles.
Fearfully, the prince nodded his head and pointed to a room at the end of the corridor. Needles slowly snuck towards it, and opened the door. Two guards were standing inside, and immediately attacked Needles, who was holding on to the young prince. Amidst the struggle and confusion, Doc, Marty, and Dan Rundell all managed to escape. They quietly sneaked through passageways, and found the exit.
The threesome sat under the shade of a small tree, deciding what to do next. It would be pure foolishness to charge into the castle and try to rescue Needles and Jim. Doc was actually considering leaving the two fools there. But no, that could end up being disastrous. What Doc needed was some gadgets. And he knew just the place to get them.
"C'mon, Doc, we can't just take a trip to the future and leave Needles and Jim here! What if they escape while we're gone?"
"Marty, you're not thinking fourth dimensionally. If we go to the future, then come back with all the necessary supplies, we can come back right when we just left. It will be a simple mission to 2015."
"Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say. I get stuck with all the dirty work anyway." As Doc, Marty, and Dan entered the train, a sense of relief swept over them. They had been mistreated ever since Needles had run into them in the gas station. And again, it was all Marty's fault. Marty wondered why Doc kept trusting him with time travel. Doc started up the time train, and slowly started to accelerate. Dan whistled in amazement. He was just an ordinary citizen stuck in the middle of this. Marty almost felt sorry for him.
Suddenly, there was a jolt as they entered 2015. "Welcome to the future," Doc announced. "Unfortunately for you, Dan, you will not be permitted to exit the train. No one should know too much about their own future – I hope you understand. I am sending Marty to get the supplies we need." Marty sighed. Somehow, he had known that this would happen. "Marty, I need you to get two sleep inducers and a packet of freeze-clay. You can get them from Tech Mart – I will be landing by the store now." Marty knew what a sleep inducer was – Doc had used it on Jennifer before. But he wasn't exactly sure what freeze-clay was. He would just have to do some research. "Yeah, sure Doc, whatever you say," mumbled Marty. Doc also handed him some clothes and money. As soon as Marty got changed, he was on his way. This was getting a bit old. Marty was beginning to become bored of this time travel 'game.' He just wanted to rest.
