Chapter 3-The Breakout
In the late hours of the night after his arrest, Kyle was shivering inside his jail cell. He was still in pain from the violent arrest that caused him to be here 24 hours ago. Already he was starting to regret that rare outburst of his that caused him to spend the next 10 years of his life in this poor excuse for a prison.
He had pretty much given up all hope of his family breaking him out. The government and security were so brutal that it was nearly impossible to break someone out without getting caught and in prison themselves.
He was pretty convinced that his family had gone to the past without him when the guard said someone was there to see him. He was afraid that it would be one of those execution people that would shoot him outside with no mercy. It turned out to be his dad, Marty.
"How'd you get here, dad?" Kyle asked.
"The prison lets family visit as long as it is only for a half an hour." Marty said. "How are you doing Kyle?"
"Fine, I guess," Kyle said. "I feel like a dog in a pound, but I'm okay. I'm freezing, but I'm okay. I have some drooling guy in the cell across from me staring at me, but I'm okay."
"I can tell you'll be happy when you're out of here," Marty said.
"Oh sure dad," Kyle said. "Like I'll be out of here anytime soon."
"We are planning on getting you out of here," Marty whispered. "Jules has been studying the area around the prison and he feels that if we go back in time right away and if Jean drives we can possibly pull this off."
"You want Jean to drive?" Kyle said.
"I'm a law-abiding driver," Marty said. "There is no way that I'll be able to get up to 88 mph fast enough to avoid disaster on our car. Jean is better at breaking the speed limit than I am."
Kyle just nodded, but he still looked worried. He was also contemplating what do without putting his family or Jules in danger. He knew he would have to make a tough decision.
"I want you to leave me here," Kyle said much to the surprise of Marty. "If you leave me here there, then there is no risk to you. There is a chance that I will be there when you get back, I just won't know what happened."
Marty was speechless. He never even thought about leaving Kyle there. In all that he studied in Doc's research, he was afraid that Kyle would be stuck in this reality and he would never see him again. There were also a million other scenarios that could result in Marty never seeing his son again.
"Kyle," Marty said. "We can't leave you here. You have no idea what this could do to you or the time continuum or the family. Jean has been beating herself up over letting you get arrested, and so have I. Jules has been trying to find a way to get you out of here and he feels that...."
"Dad," Kyle said. "I love you, Jean, mom, Marlene, and Little Marty very much, but I feel like saving history is more important than anything else. I want you guys to get out of this time no matter what. Don't worry about me."
"Kyle," Marty said. "I know you would be happy to give yourself for history, but according to you it's already been done. Don't expect me to sit back, Kyle. But I will think about it hard."
A guard then told Marty it was time for him to leave. He said goodbye to Kyle and then left. Kyle didn't want Marty or Jean or Jules to put themselves in danger just for him. Kyle just sat in the corner of his cell as he saw the teenager across from him continue to stare at him. It was then that the teen began to speak.
"Who was that?" The kid asked.
"My dad," Kyle said. "Why?"
"Where did you come from? Another time? Another reality where I didn't get arrested for helping Doc Brown with his time machine? I knew exactly what you were talking about. You look to me like someone from another time, another place."
Kyle was shocked. He looked closely at the teen. He knew who that was. It was his dad, only this one was 17.
"Are you Marty McFly?" Kyle asked with a shaky voice.
"Yes," he said. "The question I have for you is that why would you want to stay here when you could be in paradise where you are free to do any kind of sciences you want, or at least that's what Doc said. Is that true? Are you free?"
"First," Kyle said. "Tell me how you got here, and where Doc Brown is."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jean and Jules were waiting with the now visible time machine when Marty approached them. Jean seemed a bit concerned when she saw the trouble on his face.
"What happened dad?" Jean asked Marty.
"Kyle wants us to leave him here," Marty said. "He says he cares more about history than his own life."
"That's out of the question," Jules said. "We can't leave him here. Besides, that's ridiculous that he cares about anything more than his own life. Even though people might say so, they really don't. It's human nature. He really does want us to get him out, he just wants to scare us into forgiving him for nearly blowing our cover. If the time continuum wasn't in danger I would leave him there."
"Jules," Jean said. "You need to sort out your priorities. There are a lot of people who love God and country more than life itself. They are willing to die for anything that might be more important than themselves. The Bible says 'there is no greater love than a man giving his life for his friends.' Kyle would definitely give his friends and family. And another thing, I am not going to let you speak about my brother that way. He was angry that's all. Ever since September 11 back in 2001 he's loved God and country more than ever before. I don't blame him for what he did."
"What happened on September 11?" Jules asked.
Jean became very mad at herself at that point. There were so many other things that happened in the last 20 years that the family needed to know about. She decided to hold off on telling him anything.
"Nothing," Jean said while getting a look from her dad.
"Well," Jules said. "It's decided. We are getting Kyle out tonight, and this is how we are going to do it."
"Wait a minute," Jean said. "What part do we have about these plans, and what about what I just said? Aren't you going to apologize for insulting my brother and his values?"
"We have more important things to worry about, Jean," Jules said.
Jean was disgusted and Marty was disappointed about Jules' lack of emotion about the whole matter. Nevertheless, they listened to Jules' plans.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kyle just sat and listened to his dad's other self tell his story.
"I've been friends with Doc Brown since I was fourteen. He helped me with homework and my secret class of music, and I helped him with his secret experiments. One day he showed me a new invention of his that he said was the discovery he had been waiting for all his life. I thought it was just a DeLorian sports car at first, but it turned out it was a time machine.
"Right when he was about to travel through time, a government vehicle showed up full of government agents ready to arrest the Doc for all of his work. They shot him down and I escaped in the time machine accidentally traveling to 1955."
It was then that Kyle broke in. "I know this story. You almost prevented your parents from meeting and you ended up changing their entire futures. You also saved Doc from being killed."
"That's right," younger Marty said. "Anyway, Doc ended up traveling to the future, but he brought me back there to change my own future. We succeeded but we accidentally got some future information into government hands. We went through a very dangerous mission to get it back, but we succeeded at that, too.
"The day after we got back, Doc was packing his bags up. He said the government was still after him and he was going to escape to 1885 and destroy the time machine. I was really upset when I heard he was going to escape, but I knew it was crucial for his survival. As I watched him speed off into the distance, the Army Police showed up and arrested me for assisting Doc Brown. Ever since then they have been interrogating me to death to find out where the Doc was, but I have been making up stuff just to get them off my back. To this day they still have no sign of the Doc. I'm just glad he got out of this Hell-hole while he still could."
Kyle just sat there for a while thinking and decided to answer his earlier question.
"Well, in my world, we are democratic and are a major world power. True, people do hate us. In fact, people have tried to hurt us several times, but we are free. We have helped countries in poverty and practically saved the world during WWII. We also have a lot of people who make fun of the president and even burn the flag in protest. We also..."
It was then that there was a loud bang outside Kyle's window. He rushed to his barred window and saw his whole family and Jules in the DeLorian with the door open. The side with the open door was right at Kyle's face.
"What are you guys doing here?" Kyle asked. "I thought I told you to leave me here."
"And I thought I told you that I wasn't going to do that," Marty said. It was then that Jules climbed to the window with a strange device in hand. He turned it on and touched it to the bars. The bars began to melt right then.
"Where are you going?" younger Marty asked Kyle.
"I'm going to fix history," Kyle said.
"Good luck," younger Marty said. "I certainly hope that I can live in freedom like you soon."
"You will," Kyle said.
When Jules was finished melting the bars, Kyle climbed through the window into the open DeLorian. Marty and Jules were in the back while Jean was in the front so that Kyle would have enough room to get in. When he was in, Jules closed the door.
"I can't believe that it was that easy to get out of that prison," Kyle said.
"What do you expect when a government that was started by a Tannan," Jean said as she began to drive in the flying DeLorian away. Unfortunately, their success was short lived.
Two helicopters began to follow them right when Jean turned the time circuits on. She immediately saw them and began to speed away.
"I think you spoke to soon," Kyle said.
The helicopter than shot something at the time machine. It crashed through the window and hit Marty. It was a needle, obviously a tranquilizer, full of blue liquid. Another shot through the window and hit Jules.
"Hit emergency button," Jules moaned right before he joined Marty passed out on the floor.
"This isn't good," Kyle said.
"Ya think!?" Jean shouted as she hit emergency button #2 at random.
Another dart shot through the window and hit Kyle. He immediately pulled it out of his arm but he still began to feel woozy. Right after he fainted, another dart hit Jean. She too pulled out the dart but she began to feel woozy as well.
There were now four holes in the windows, four fainted time travelers, and a flying DeLorian plummeting toward the ground. The two helicopters were waiting for the car to crash so that they could dismiss it as an accident. But instead of crashing, the car disappeared leaving a pair of fire trails behind right before it would have hit the ground.
