Time for a Change...

Marty struggled to his feet holding his sore stomache and tried to take a step then winced as pain shot through his entire body. But he didn't stop he kept going as he kept his eyes on Biff's car as it sped away into the darkness and out of sight.
Marty cursed softly and ran to the ladder that led to the rooftop of the gym.
"Doc!" Marty shouted as he slipped over the ladder and onto the rooftop, "Doc,I blew it!" Marty gasped for air and continued "Biff Nailed me, he took the book, he drove away with it in his car!"
Doc's jaw dropped in shock and he looked from the direction Marty had just come from.
There was a clap of thunder and Marty apoligized "It's my fault Doc-I shoulda got outta there sooner!"
"No time for that now," Doc said "Which way did he go?"
"East,towards the river road tunnel" Marty said
"Get In!" Shouted Doc as he opened the driver's side door of the Delorean and climbed inside himself.
Marty did and the car shot up into the storm ridden sky and was off in hot pursuit.
Doc sped along through the sky following Biff's car.
Opening his door Marty peered through the binoculars Doc had given him and almost cheered. "Yes! There he is Doc!"
Marty glanced back at Doc and grinned "Let's land on him-we'll cripple his car!"
"Marty" Doc chided "He's in a forty-six ford, we're in a Delorean-he'd rip through us like tinfoil!"
"So what do we do?" Marty asked
"I have a plan" Doc said uneasilly.
Marty turned back and continued to look through the passanger side window watching as Biff drove along the road.
Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, Doc reached into the back and retreived the mask to his devo suit and slipped it over his head and turned to Marty
"Marty"came his muffled voice
Marty turned to reply and shouted in surprise, which in turned surprised Doc causing him to momentarily lose control of the car .
Marty placed his hand over his chest and rolled his eyes "Man, Doc you nearly gave me a heart attack. Why are you wearing that thing anyway?"
Doc flipped the visor up and shot Marty an apoligetic look "Sorry, bout that—my plan is to scare Biff into hopefully running off the road long enough for you to grab the almanac and get ourselves back to the future.
He flipped the visor back down—"You better get yours on too-as soon as Biff has gone through the tunnel,we'll attempt to get the book back.
Marty retreived his mask and slipped it on, as both men watched Biff enter the tunnel, a few moments later he exited it and Doc lowered the Delorean so that it was flying only a few feet over Biff Tannen's car but hanging back enough so that it wasn't over Biff directly.
Doc opened his door and flipped up his visor, "Hand me the binoculars" he shouted as he tried to be heard over the storm.
Marty did so, and Doc leaned a little ways out of the Delorean keeping one hand on the wheel "DaVinci's ghost!" he said letting out a large gasp "I thought I saw a gun in the front seat!"
"A gun?" Marty said
"It appears we're going to have to change our plan Marty!" Doc shouted "We can't risk either one of us getting shot to death—especially in the past!"
Doc tossed the binoculars behind him and was about to lean back into the car when an extremely strong gust of wind suddenly slammed into the Delorean on Marty's side causing Doc to lose his gripe. Marty watched in terror as Doc plummeted from the Delorean and landed with a thump into the back of Biff's car!
Thinking quickly Marty grabbed the stering wheel and tried to leveled the Delorean off, then as he kept the time machine steady he slipped into the driver's seat and shut the door.
Biff meanwhile had heard the thump and turned around to investigate—whatever he'd expected to see , it wasn't an alien. Biff screamed and ran off the road and into a telephone pole.
In the backseat Doc made sure he didn't have any broken bones and then sat up-
WHAP!
Suddenly Doc was slammed into the interior of the back seat as Biff delivered a a haymaker straight into the visor of his mask causing a small crack to appear in the mask and giving Doc himself a bloody nose.
"You stupid freshmen think you can get away with trying make me look dumb?"
"You think that's funny?" Biff spat as he turned and reached down and grabbed his gun he stood up on the seat and cocked the pistol.
"Let's see how funny you think getting shot is!" with that Biff aimed the gun straight at Doc's heart, Doc did the only thing he could think of and kicked his foor straight up catching Biff in the groin. Biff fell into the front seat and Doc used the oppurtunity to make a hasty getaway.
Biff groaned,climbed out of the car and began to chase Doc down the street—he ran out of breath however and decided to try and shoot the reatreating form from a distance.Taking aim he slipped the form into his crosshairs and was about to fire when a sudden creaking noise from behind distracted him.
Turning around Biff screamed as the telephone pole gave away and fell like a tree, ripping from the electric wires and landing right onto Biff's car, crushing it almost flat!
Biff began ran to his car, but was thrown back as the car suddenly exploded in a ball of flame, taking the alamanac with it.
Biff sat up, took one look at his car and fainted dead away.
Doc kept on running, hoping Biff had given up the chase suddenly he was bathed in a strange light. Looking up Doc saw the Delorean floating twenty feet above him—with Marty at the wheel!
Doc let out a releived laugh and waved at the grinning Marty who gave him a thumbs up in response.
Doc then pointed to the "Lyon Estates" promotional billboard that was half a block away and indicated that it should be the landing point. Marty understood and nodded and turned the Delorean towards the landing point and stepped on the gas.
Doc ran to the billboard and watched and Marty approached it and began to land.
Then something totally unexpected happened.
Without warning a lighting bolt shot out and struck the Delorean-there was an explosion-the second one for the night and Doc was sent to the ground, butt over teakettle.
Doc jumped to his feet as fear began to build up in his chest and looked up into the sky hoping to see Marty—but what he saw instead only built the fear inside him up even more.
There in the spot where Marty had been only a moment earlier were twin flumes of flame looking very much like a "99". A second later they faded into nothingness and Doc felt absolutely sick to his stomache.
Marty could be stranded in any time, That was if he'd even survived the explosion. And if he had by some miracle survived then he was stranded for good.
And Doc was stranded here was well-with no way to get home.
The sudden honking of a car horn shocked Doc out of his greived state for the moment and he turned to see who it could possibly be.
The driver's side door opened and a shadowy figure stepped out,holding an umbrella over itself .
The figure stepped closer to Doc and the man's face became slightly highlighted from the brightness of the car's headlights.
"Excuse me sir but is your name Huey Lewis?"
Doc looked at the man confusedly "yeah" he said slowly
"Well in that case I got something for you-"the guy replied as he reached into his coat and pulled out a large manilla envelope..
He handed it to Doc.
"We're Western Union and We've had this thing for almost seventy years!" the guy said excitedly.
"It was given to us with specific instructions to give it to an older gentleman, at this exact location,on this exact date, at this exact time, answering to the name of Huey Lewis-we had a betting pool as to wether this Huey would actually be here, looks like I lost!"
he guy laughed and handed a pen and form to Doc.
"Please sign here!"
Doc signed and opened the leeter up,and turning away from the delivery man Began to read to himself.
"Say pal," Doc turned and saw the guy still behind him "You look familiar- have I seen you around town or something."
"I guess I just have one of those faces Doc said plastering on a fake smile trying to hide his impatience at the guy not having left already."
He turned ack to read his letter.
"Hey, are you sure, I we haven't bumped into each othe before?" came the guy's voice again.
Doc had had enough of this guy and turned around "Beat it!" he shouted.
the guy tumbled backward and dropped his umbrella, jumped into his car and sped away.
Doc then turned to read the letter.
" Dear Doc, Hopefully my attempt at thinking fourth dimensionally has succeeded and you have got this letter moments after I was struck by that lighting bolt. First let me assure you I am alive and well in 1885, and have become the town handyman. The Delorean was damaged but wether it was for good or not I have no idea.--I miss you but I just wanted to say this, If the time machine is beyond repair and we are both stranded in time then I want to thank you for being a good friend, and father figure--you helped me when I needed it, and made me open up and become a man. I wish to thank you and bid you a fond farewell. Thankyou for everything you have done for me.
Sincerly, your friend in time,
