Same day, 1985

Doc clamped a hand over Marty's mouth until he calmed down.

"What are they doing on the Time Train?" Marty asked, watching the cyborgs flatenning the grass while Biff smoked and looked evil. Doc grabbed another cold towel from his jacket.

"We were on a trip to 2016 to get another hover conversion for the train when the cyborgs hid in it. When we came back, we didn't discover them until we started the time circuits! In the chaos, Jules hit the accelerator so we ended up here."

"You mean now!" Marty said.

"I mean what I mean!" Doc yelled.

"Shhhhh!" Marty clamped a hand over Doc's mouth. The latter stared back indignantly. The cyborgs were coming closer, tracking them. Biff had heard Doc and was now next to the lead cyborg smoking and looking evil. Either the cyborgs couldn't find them or Biff ran out of cigars because he moved away towards the road. The cyborgs followed him. Marty glanced at the road and saw a red sports car, speeding along the deserted freeway.

"Stop!" Biff yelled at it.

The car screeched to a halt and a man stuck his head out.

"What? Do you need a lift?"

The cyborgs appeared and the man's eyes widened. "What the..." His wife was then heard in the car.

"What is it Mike?"

"Quiet, Tracy." The man turned to Biff. "Is this some kind of gag? Do you need a lift?"

Biff chuckled. "No. We need you to get out."

The man turned to his wife. "Step on it, Tracy. Esme, Schuyler, Aquinnah, Sam, fasten your seatbelts!" The engine revved up and the car started to move off.

"You shall not pass!" Biff yelled. (t/n: I wrote that.) The cyborgs raised their cannon arm. A small beam of light lanced out from the cannon and engufed the car which ground to a halt. Biff chuckled. "EMP cannon standard issue 2035 mode!

The man jumped out of the car with his family and ran towards a town. Biff raised his hand an the rippling blue shield disappeared. Biff jumped into the vehicle. "Meet me at Koolen's Clock Factory."

The sports car drove off and the cyborgs gathered in formation. Jets from their feet blasted the cyborgs into the air. Marty and Doc emerged and started at the columns of smoke from the jets. Marty shook his head.
