Chapter 2-The Beginning
Jean approached the drive way of the McFly house with her brothers, sister, Jules, and baby Marie in tow. She noticed that there was an extra car in the driveway.
"Dad's home early," Jean said.
"Well," Kyle said. "I hope he doesn't think we've been kidnapped or something."
"C'mon Kyle," Marlene said. "You say that every time we come home after dad does."
Kyle had always been a worrier, but a brave person at the same time. If someone dared him to set free a lion from the zoo he would do it, but if it caused him to get suspended or expelled from school, or even grounded, he thought twice.
The group pulled into the driveway right when Marie started crying. Jules hated having to take care of the baby on his own, but he knew he had no choice. No one wanted Marty to find out about this whole idea by hearing a baby crying.
They changed Marie's diaper in the driveway posthaste. Then, they walked toward the front door. Jules was sweating bullets, and with good reason. Jules didn't even think Marty remembered him or any of his family. He was encouraged by the fact that Marty and Jennifer told bedtime stories based on their adventures to their kids, but he was not encouraged by the parents not telling their kids that the stories were true.
When they went in the house, they found Marty in the kitchen holding a paper and shaking his head.
"Oh no," Jean said. "He saw my life essay."
"Jean, is that you?" Marty said.
When Marty emerged from the kitchen, Jules just watched in awe. Marty didn't look too different then when he last saw him, he just looked older. He was still fairly short, but he looked very healthy.
"Who's your friend here," Marty said looking at Jules. "And why does he have a baby with him?"
"M-m-my name is Jules Brown.," Jules said. "And I need your help, Mr. McFly."
Marty's jaw dropped. He looked at his children and saw them nodding their heads.
"It's true daddy." Little Marty said. "He says he's Doc Brown's son. He even showed us the time machine."
"He what?!" Marty cried.
"It's true dad," Jean said. "He even demonstrated it. The kid needs our help."
Marty just took his reading glasses off and chewed on the stem.
"Can I talk to you alone, Jules?" Marty said.
Jules was excited that Marty remembered him, but worried that he might say no about helping him. Nonetheless, he left Marie with Jean, and went with Marty into the living room.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jules told Marty the entire story and Marty was shocked at what he heard. He had been trying to look Doc up for years and find out how he had been. Doc must have somehow destroyed all of his records so that the wrong person wouldn't find out about his secret. This was the first time he had heard anything about his friend.
"Marty," Jules said. "I just wanted to say that I am in a real bind. I know how to work the time machine, but I can't drive the car, and you might be the only one that can help me. My family and possibly all of history depend on it."
There was silence for a minute. Although it had been twenty years, his adventures with the time machine were fresh in his mind.
"Jules," Marty said. "I know you need help, and I will help you, but I don't know about bringing Jean and Kyle along. It might be too dangerous."
"C'mon Marty," Jules said. "They want to help. Besides we could use all the help we can get. I have no idea how powerful this guy is."
Marty just nodded and said, "Jules, your dad was one of my best friends. I will do whatever it takes to save him. Jean! Kyle!"
Jean and Kyle ran in the door of the kitchen as if they had been expecting a call from their dad. Marty told them that they could come along and they were very excited.
"But dad," Jean said. "I don't just want to 'come along.' I want to participate. Kyle does, too. This is one of your friends we're talking about dad. And we all know that anyone that is a friend of our wonderful, forgiving father is a friend of ours."
"You're not off the hook for that D on your essay Jean." Marty said.
"Hey, it was worth a shot," Jean said, with Kyle laughing beside her. "But seriously dad, Kyle and I want to contribute."
"Of course you guys can contribute," Jules said. "Now can we go?"
The three just nodded and began to prepare.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Marty called the next door neighbor/babysitter, and told her that she needed her to look after Marlene, Little Marty, and a baby they were looking after while they were away. After that, they packed some clothes and blankets, emergency food and water, some of Jules' modified walkie- talkies, and an emergency first-aid kit. The group then said goodbye to the kids, thanked Miss Reese, and headed off toward the time machine's location.
When they reached the time machine, Marty stood in awe, as if he were in a time warp. He looked at the machine and all of its modifications and began to take a stroll down memory lane.
"C'mon Marty," Jules said. "Time is of the essence."
"I know," Marty said.
The group loaded up the car and then got in. The gull-wing door was now twice as wide as it had been before to accommodate the new backseat. Marty wasn't used to it and ended up leaning against the back part of the door when it opened.
"Sorry dad," Kyle said to his dad whom was lying on the ground.
After that incident, they all got in the car. Marty and Jean got in the front seat, and Kyle and Jules got in the back. Even though the back was much bigger, it was still a tight squeeze.
"Alright everyone," Marty said. "Are you ready?"
Everyone agreed and Marty started the engine.
"Where should I go, Jules?" Marty asked.
Jules just slipped in between the two front seats and programmed the time and place. Jules explained that they were going to this time because they just needed to find out where, when, and how the kid changed history.
"We're going back to Hill Valley in 1985?" Marty asked.
"What better place than to where it all began," Jules said with a smile.
Jules talked Marty through using the hover feature while Marty did the rest. They rose up high, but not too high, over the forest. Marty put his foot on the gas, but being a law abiding driver for 20 years didn't help the speedometer go up. He decided to imagine he was being chased by the Libyans that chased him into 1955 his first time in the time machine. Apparently that worked, because within 45 seconds, they reached 88 mph and were in a new time.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Marty, his kids, and Jules looked down on the old town of 1985 Hill Valley, but it wasn't the small town he remembered. Hill Valley had become like a metropolis, with large buildings, huge traffic jams, and the aroma of air pollution.
"What in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks happened to Hill Valley?!" Jean shouted.
"Nice save, Jean." Kyle said.
"Kyle," Jean said. "I know you would rather die than say any type of obscenity, but I think the situation calls for it."
"Will you guys stop fighting?" Marty said. "This is serious!"
It was still in the late night hours, but they were worried that the bright lights of the city would give them away. It was that that caused them to find some woods, a hard task, and land. They finally found a very small patch of woods right next to the most ghetto part of town, and landed there. They immediately got out and tried to discuss what they would do.
"I don't feel safe in this place," Jean said. "It gives me the creeps. What if someone comes and steals the time machine?"
"That won't be a problem," Jules said. It was then that Jules pressed a button and something in the time machine began to buzz. Suddenly, it began to fade away in static-like squares. Kyle said it was like watching a dirty DVD. Finally, it disappeared. The entire group looked stunned.
"Holy Mike Flarehety!" Marty shouted, to the jargon of his son. "It just disappeared!"
"It didn't disappear," Jules said. "Just walk toward where it once was."
Marty did just that, and 10 steps later, he was in inch in front of the very visible time machine. Marty immediately jumped back.
"What's wrong, dad?" Kyle asked.
"He saw the time machine." Jules said. "It is a hologram that makes it appear invisible. It was the special the day dad got the hover conversion. Apparently they were testing some new prototype on willing customers there."
"Why would they invent a hologram for cars?" Kyle asked. Jules just shrugged his shoulders.
They went into the closest neighborhood and caught an old bus to the east side of the town, or 'city' as it was called here. When they reached the city, they were more shocked than they were over it. There were no classic 80s clothes, at least not any risqué ones. Every piece of clothing was long and covering.
"I don't get it," Jean said. "Hill Valley is the farthest thing from a huge city. What is going on?"
"The guy obviously changed history in a very major way," Jules said with concern. "I think we should find a library and do some research."
They didn't see any book stores, music stores, or theaters anywhere. They only saw one library, but it was like a store in a strip mall. They figured that that library was better than no library, so they decided to give it a shot.
In the library, there was absolutely no real literature or world history. There was only the history of the United States form 1895 to the present. In all the books, however, there was no "United States", just "America." The group got all of the books they could about years between 1895 and 1955. Jules, whom was the best researcher in the group, began to skim a book that had the entire history of the country. The rest of the group just looked around the small library at all the people. Their clothes obviously attracted attention; although they weren't sure whey they were getting so much attention.
"Guys," Jules said quietly. "I've found something."
The group gathered around the table where Jules was sitting and Jules read what he had found.
"A young man named Griff Tannen gathered a revolt army in 1895 when he told the truth that the government was stealing from them and they were planning on taking everything away from them among other serious accusations. He gathered 100,000 people in revolt, attacked the capital, and killed all government workers. To this day they do not know how they beat the American army. I have a feeling he used future technology."
"Why?" Jean asked.
"Because," Marty whispered. "Griff Tannen is Biff Tannen's grandson and the guy who I ran into the courthouse in 2015. I have a feeling Biff told him about the time machine and he took it."
"Whoa, this is huge." Kyle said.
"That is exactly what I thought, Marty." Jules said. "Anyway, this says that Griff was elected to be the first supreme governor. With his faithful head scientist, Doctor Emmit Brown, he formed a government that was much more functional than the very dysfunctional democracy. This form of government allowed them to control the people more and not depend on patriotism and godliness. 10 years later, Griff appointed young Verne Brown as captain of the new supreme army. Only a year after that that, they invaded Mexico, and won. Mexico became part of America and the people became part of the government of Tyranosism. And that's just the beginning.
"America was absent during WWI, but jumped right into WWII. They ended up defeating Germany, killing Hitler, and taking the country as a Commonwealth. Those people were put under Tyranosism as well. After that, every country in the world feared America and didn't dare anger them. If they did, even by accident, America let them know it, and I don't mean by just saying so.
"They also invaded Canada. They took it over just like they did Mexico and Germany. They nuked Afghanistan because some Al Queda terrorists bombed Australian interests in the capital. In this reality, Australia must be the major democracy in the world that all the terrorists hate. Anyway, they were more powerful than ever, keeping every citizen under an iron fist with this atheist, controlling society."
"Wow," Jean said. "You mean there's no freedom at all?"
"There is some," Jules said. "But it is pretty sketchy. What I can't believe is that my dad and Verne would go along with it. They had to have been forced or something. My entire family is full of loyal Americans; I don't see how they would do anything willingly."
"Well, we all know that this new government was not thought up by Griff," Kyle said. "From what I've heard about him he's an idiot. I have a feeling that Doc Brown must have been forced to be the brains, and going along with it thinking his ideas would fall through after a while. Verne, on the other hand, must have been willing."
"No!" Jules said. "Verne would never do that willingly!"
"Calm down Jules," Marty said. "This is a library after all."
Jules just blushed and gave an apologetic nod to the staring people in the library.
"Well," Jean said. "Look on the bright side, Jules. At least Clara wasn't involved."
"Oh no," Jules said. "You're right. They didn't mention my mom. What if something happened to her? They could have used her as ransom or something."
"We can't jump to conclusions, Jules." Marty said. "For now we have to concentrate on the important things, like getting history back to normal and getting your family back."
"That's right." Kyle said. "We are gonna take down this government and bring democracy and God back!"
Kyle looked around him and noticed that everyone was staring at him. Kyle sat back down while his family stared at him as well.
Kyle, as a godly person and inspirational rocker, did not like seeing the deprivation of freedom of religion. He cringed when he saw the cruelty in Afghanistan and how people could condone the Taliban's practices. Although he was only 11 at the time of the war on terror, he had very strong opinions about it. He never even imagined being in a government like that until now. Although he wanted to mention 9-11-01 to Jules at that time, he didn't. He just thought he would let Jules find out on his own.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They left the library a little while after Kyle's outburst. They looked for a bus stop so that they could get out of this poor excuse for America and fix it. It was then that they were stopped by two tough-looking men in suits that looked like CIA operatives.
"Can I get a look at all of your faces please?" the officer said.
The group turned around and the men held a device up to their faces. When the device was in front of Kyle, it beeped out of control.
"Alright kid, one of the officers said. "You're under arrest for making treats against the government. You are hereby sentenced to jail for 10 years."
They put handcuffs on Kyle and dragged them to the stainless-steel van, completely ignoring the rest of the group. They were holding Kyle in a position that made any move extremely painful. The rest of the group was so speechless, they could barely move. When the van finally sped away, Jean finally cracked.
"We're dead!" Jean said.
"My son's in jail," Marty said. "I always thought Jean would be first."
"Hey," Jean said.
"Guys," Jules said. "We have to now concentrate on breaking Kyle out of jail."
"That might be no big deal in 1895," Jean said. "But in this world, trying to break someone out of jail can land you in jail, like, forever!"
"Well guys," Jules said. "It's not like we have a choice here. Leaving Kyle here could do some terrible damage to the continuum. It's either we get Kyle out the easy way, or get Kyle out the hard way."
The group nodded in agreement. They knew Jules was right, even though they also knew the consequences.
Jean approached the drive way of the McFly house with her brothers, sister, Jules, and baby Marie in tow. She noticed that there was an extra car in the driveway.
"Dad's home early," Jean said.
"Well," Kyle said. "I hope he doesn't think we've been kidnapped or something."
"C'mon Kyle," Marlene said. "You say that every time we come home after dad does."
