Doctor Emmett Brown stood face to face with agent Kroft, the man who had single handedly ripped time a new one, and felt justified for it. This made Kroft the most notorious criminal in human history, as far as Brown was concerned. And Kroft planned to do more, go back farther, make deeper changes. Emmett had no idea how he would, or could, stop this from happening.

Kroft said, "This would go so much easier with your cooperation, Doctor Brown. But if you insist on doing things the hard way, then we can accommodate."

Emmett said, "I doubt you can accommodate much you can't control, Kroft."

Kroft sadly looked down at the ground, "Such a shame to have to loose such a gifted mind." He motioned back at his two henchmen behind him, "Take them both."

The two henchmen never had a chance to move. From out of nowhere came the fire of guns. Everyone took cover, and Elliot crouched by the door of the DeLorean and opened it. He took a screw driver from the console and began trying to hotwire the car.

The henchmen were at odds now with the rest of the hotel security, who had come fully armed and ready. There was more and more gun fire being met by zaps of green rays from the agents. Emmett crawled into the passenger seat, "How's it going there Elliot?"

Elliot said, "I'm trying, just stay down."

The DeLorean's engine started and the cousins laughed with joy. Staying low, Elliot popped the car in gear and crashed through the chain link fence while the agents and the muscle bound security fired at one another. The DeLorean screeched on to the road, barely missing other cars and began to race down the main strip.

"Elliot," Emmett said as he was trying to reconnect the frequency controller during the wild driving.

"Not now Emmett. I'm driving."

"Elliot, you are going the wrong way."

"Oh," Elliot recognized Emmett was correct and swung the car into a boot leg. Smoke rolled from the tires as he spun around and punched the accelerator. Emmett had lost balance during the spin, and the near complete connection of the controller was lost again and had to be restarted. Elliot smiled and said, "I saw that move on Magnum P.I."

"What's a Magnum P.I.?" asked Emmett.

Elliot said, "A cop show."

"Like Dragnet?"

"Emmett. Television is going to change."

The DeLorean passed by the Dunes again, and Elliot said, "Emmett, the traffic is blocked ahead."

Emmett turned and looked out the windshield. There was a traffic halt, the red brake lights were like taunting hot eyes. Emmett looked out the rear of the DeLorean and saw the large flying car coming after them, "You can't stop now Elliot."

Elliot swerved up on the sidewalk and barreled on through. Pedestrians panicked to get out of way as the crazy car sped up the sidewalk. As soon as they had passed the halted traffic Elliot swerved back on to the highway. Emmett was still fighting to get the frequency controller attached and insulated. He said happily, "Got it."

Emmett quickly spun around in his seat and punched in the destination coordinates. The end of town was coming, and the rod on the rear of the cab began to glow. Elliot said, "Looks like I am going back to 1955 with you."

Emmett said, "Don't worry, you will just fade away with me when things are set back right."

The bluish power glow was very intense as they approached the power lines. Emmett said, "Remember, no lower than eighty eight."

Elliot said, "Don't worry, I am not slowing down for anything."

Kroft peered down at the DeLorean and said, "Be prepared to follow their temporal echo if they make a jump."

The driver of the flying car said, "Yes sir."

Elliot looked down at the time machine console and said, "Oh oh. Emmett. We have a problem."

The destination console was beginning to smoke a bit, and now it was rapidly flipping dates and times. Emmett gasped, "Egad. It's gone haywire."

Elliot bore down on the accelerator, "Well, sometimes you just have to say what the hell."

Flashes of energy jumped out in front of the DeLorean, and it made its erratic jump into time. The driver of the flying car said, "They have made a time jump sir."

Kroft said, "Fall into the echo."

The driver flipped a switch and the flying car vanished as though it passed through an invisible curtain.

The empty Vegas One highway was replaced by thick forage when the DeLorean came out of the time jump. Shrubs and plants were thumping all around the outside of the auto. Elliot hit the brakes and slid to a stop before the car spilled over a cliff.

The car shut down, all instruments smoking. Emmett coughed and said, "Wow."

Elliot asked, "When are we?"

"I don't know," Emmett said and thumped the blank time consoles. "It overheated, we will have to let it cool down."

Elliot opened his door and saw the broken forage had all but hidden the car. Elliot looked around at the canyon and the forage, "We must have went so far in the future there is no more civilization."

Emmett opened his door and looked up in the sky, "I don't think so."

Elliot looked up where Emmett was gazing and saw a pteranodon. Elliot only said, "Oh. I see."

The sky cracked open and the flying sedan came through. The driver was looking down but did not see the DeLorean for all of the forage. Kroft said, "My word. We have come out in the Jurassic age."

Emmett told Elliot, "Stay down. Let them pass by. We are going to need a plan."

Elliot asked, "What kind of plan? Don't get eaten?"

Emmett agreed, "That goes without saying. Whatever power source they have, we need to make it back to the future."

"So, do you have a plan?"

"No, not yet." They watched the flying car land in the distance. "I am going to need some thinking time."

Kroft and his two henchmen stepped out of their sedan after it had landed. Kroft said, "We need to begin searching."

One of the henchmen said, "Sir, shouldn't we just leave them here. They will not have a power source to go back."

Kroft said, "No, you fool. We are not leaving without the original Flux Capacitor."

A prehistoric roar sounded off from the depths of the dense forest. Kroft said, "Try not to get eaten."

By the cliff side where the DeLorean entered the Jurassic age, Emmett Brown sat with his feet dangling over the edge. He was staring out over the small canyon which would disappear over the millions of years, and he was deep in thought. Elliot stepped up behind him and sat down also. He asked, "What's on your mind Emmett?"

"I don't have a plan Elliot. They have us outnumbered and their technology is far superior."

Elliot was surprised, "Is this the great Emmett Brown consenting to defeat?"

Emmett said, while still gazing over the unspoiled natural beauty, "Perhaps it was destiny that I invent this time machine, and that it fall into someone else's hands. Look at this world, right now. It's beautiful. In time, we humans will come along and use our science and technology to change it all."

Elliot said, "Yeah. That's true. But, look at this canyon. A few million years it will be gone. Change is going to happen anyway, Emmett. Mankind is supposed to happen also, as well as the changes we bring."

Emmett gave Elliot a pat on the leg, "Elliot. You have always been… an idiot."

Elliot asked, "Pardon?"

Emmett said, "There is a huge difference between the changes brought on by nature and the willful destruction brought on by humans."

Elliot said, "So you think we are separate from nature? Humans are the pinnacle of the natural world. I am simply saying, we were meant to be what we are."

Emmett said, "And everything done wrong is just so justifiable by you, isn't it? It's okay to wage war, because that is what man just does, right?"

Elliot said sternly, "Sometimes fate is what fate is, Emmett. Whether you go back in time to change it or not, it will be what it is."

Emmett stood up and shouted, "You know, that's your problem. You have always been short sighted. You have always made yourself to be the victim. It's just like with your gambling, which is wrong, and you behave like you have no control over it whatsoever. And, by the way, we would not be in this mess if it weren't for sick little addiction."

Elliot too stood and got in Emmett's face, "Look, I am not the one who tampered with the time stream and set all of this in motion. I was quite happy living my life until you came along, Emmett Brown, and simply ruined everything."

Emmett said, "So maybe you think your life would have been better off without me there, huh? Who covered for you when we were eighteen and you set fire to old man Glick's barn? Who took the blame for you?"

Elliot cried out, "Oh, here we go again. That old bone. You just never are going to let it go? It's not like I never had you back."

"Oh yeah, name one time."

Elliot screamed, "Now. Right now Emmett. I didn't have to help you. I didn't have come along with you. I certainly didn't have to wind up stuck here with the dinosaurs."

Fuming and tapping his foot, Emmett regarded Elliot with a stare of disdain. "Fine. Fine then. I give up."

Elliot said, "It's about time."

Emmett turned and began to stomp into the forage. Elliot called after him, "Wait, where are you going?"

Emmett said, "Didn't you hear me? I said I give up. Literally, I give up. I am going to turn myself in to Kroft. If I cooperate, maybe I get back in the future and figure out a way to stop all of this."

Elliot was now riddled with concern. He ran, catching up with Emmett, who he took by the elbow and slowing him down, "Emmett. Don't be a fool. At best, this guy Kroft is going to use you and kill you."

Emmett said, "Elliot, look around you. It's only a matter of time before we become lunch for some terrible lizard. I'll take my chances."

Elliot said, "Count me out. I will take my chances in nature before I willingly hand myself over to someone like that ass hole."

Emmett turned back to the jungle and said, as he walked away, "Suit yourself."

Elliot watch Emmett vanish into the thick greenery, and he scowled while watching, "Good riddance you hard headed moron."

Mr. Kroft was leaning against the flying sedan when Emmett Brown cleared the forest. He saw Emmett coming, but showed no emotion. Emmett said, "Okay, so you have went back in time farther than when you created a Flux Capacitor."

Kroft stood away from the car, "Only because we followed the echo of the stream you created, Doctor Brown. And now, here we are."

"Sure you don't want to try and bring about an early extinction level event? Seems like the sort of thing you like to do."

"Why are you here, Doctor Brown? Where is the Flux Capacitor?"

Emmett smiled and pointed at his head, "Right in here."

"Where is the actual, physical unit?"

Emmett made a crunchy sound with his lips, "Blooey. Gone. It drove over a cliff when we came out of the jump. I was lucky to jump out of the car before it went over the edge. Elliot… well, he didn't do so well."

"So, what are you proposing, Doctor Brown?"

Emmett walked over to Kroft while speaking, "I am proposing that I give you what you want now. I can modify your frequency controller, which is the problem you have, not the Flux Capacitor, and I can modify it now, here. Not a very large modification."

"How do I know I can trust you?" asked Kroft.

"Because," said Emmett, "I want to go back home, to 1955. We can go back to the future in your machine, but not to a point before the date you created your Flux Capacitor. You let me fix it, and take me home, and you will never have to declare me a fugitive of the world. I won't interfere with you."

Kroft thought for a moment. "You can do the repairs we need here?"

"Yes, it's a very simple issue you overlooked. I had the same problem for a while."

Hesitating, Kroft said, "Alright, Doctor Brown. Please do."

Emmett walked towards the car and said, "I just have to wonder, what are using to generate the one point twenty one gigawatts? Some sort of fusion power?"

Kroft laughed, "No. We traveled far into the future, and found they were mining an exotic material from space which has trapped all sorts of interstellar power. It is cleaned and refined, and made into a sort of super battery." Kroft raised the trunk of the sedan, which housed a host of gadgets and conduits. He opened a mounted plastic case and gestured Emmett a peek. Inside the case were an array of pink crystals, four wide and ten high. "Each one of these batteries are good for six time trips, of course they are also used to power the flight of the automobile, so we go through them pretty quickly."

"They aren't radioactive?" asked Emmett.

"No, at least not when being used or when first refined. But once they are used up, they become horribly toxic. I will tell you, the discarded remains of these were very useful in winning World War Five."

Emmett did his best to hide his disgust. He saw what he was looking for, "Ah, there's the frequency controller."

Kroft said, "How will you make the adjustment?"

Emmett said, "Well, it's hard to describe. It's not exact. It's an amplitude thing. More of an art to tune it than a science."

After Emmett had finished adjusting the frequency controller in the sedan, he noticed the two henchmen had returned. Emmett smiled and said to Kroft, "Okay, all finished."

Kroft lightly applauded. The two henchmen pulled weapons and pointed them at Emmett, who looked confounded and said, "Wait a minute. We made a deal."

Kroft said, "No, Doctor Brown, you made a deal. Don't worry, these guns will only stun you."

Emmett said, "What? Do you plan to leave me here?"

Kroft said, "That is exactly what I am going to do, Doctor Brown."

Emmett growled, "You are a sleaze. A snake in the grass. How do you know I won't do something to alter the distant future from here?"

Kroft said, "Millions of years in the past? I don't think you can make much of an impact."

Emmett began to plead, "Hey, I promised though. I will not interfere with you in the future."

Kroft said, "I know. You will extinct."

Suddenly, there was large banging noise, like stones clapping together. Crashing from the forage came a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It stopped, bewildered by the sedan and the humans standing around it. It rasped, and took a sniff. It had never seen humans before, but it could understand the men would make a tasty meal.

Both Emmett and Kroft screamed, running into the brush in different directions. The two henchmen stood their ground and pointed their weapons at the roaring fossil. They fired upon it, only enraging it. The stunning energy did not seem compatible with the older nervous system of the dinosaur. The T-Rex charged and the men ran, setting up a chase.

Emmett was hidden behind a tree in the forage watching the mayhem when something behind him startled him. He turned and it was Elliot. Elliot had mud smeared on his face in an attempt at camouflage. Emmett said, "Elliot, am I glad to see you."

Elliot said, "Shh." Elliot pulled Emmett into an escape. As they ran, Emmett asked, "The T-Rex, was that you?"

Elliot replied, "Yes. I found out, the hard way, that they really don't like the clapping together of stones."

They had made it back to the DeLorean and were cleaning the shrubs and branches off. Emmett asked, "What good is this going to do us? Are we just going to drive around until we run out of gas?"

Elliot smiled and pulled a slender pink crystal from his pocket. It was one of the batteries from Kroft's flying sedan. Elliot said, "Let me introduce you to my little friend." He waited a moment and then added, "That's from Scar Face."

Emmett took the battery and quickly began to apply it to the power of the Flux Capacitor. He asked, "Scar Face. What's that?"

"A movie," said Elliot as he climbed into the passenger's seat.

Emmett boarded the driver's side, "Is that something like Wizard Of Oz?"

"Emmett…" Elliot began as Emmett started the ignition of the car, "… movies are going to change."

Emmett could see the flying the sedan behind them in the rear view mirror. The DeLorean was moving, but the terrain was too rough to make over fifty miles an hour. Emmett said, "We are never going to make enough speed for the time jump."

Elliot said, "How about the canyon?"

"It's quite beautiful."

"No," Elliot said. "We could drive over the edge and get the speed from the velocity of the fall."

Emmett said, "I don't think it is deep enough. Eighty eight miles an hour, from the force of gravity pulling at thirty two point one eight feet per second squared, it would have to be at least one thousand eighty three feet to the base…"

Elliot said, "May be no good anyhow. Those creeps following us will just follow our echo."

Emmett laughed, "No they won't. I rigged their frequency controller to always have their destination be the same as their beginning coordinates."

Elliot said, "So they will be stuck right here again?"

Emmett said, "Worse. It will cause a feedback on the Flux Capacitor. They will be stuck between time, in a dimension where the instant of their existence has been divided in half."

Elliot said, "You were going to go with them?"

Emmett said, "I was willing to sacrifice myself to make sure they did no more harm to the time stream."

Elliot began to reach across the cab for the wheel, "What are you doing?" Emmett asked.

"We are going over the cliff, it's the only way."

Emmett said, "But we might be smashed to bits."

Elliot reached over and grabbed the wheel, "Emmett, sometimes you just have to say what the hell."

He jerked the wheel and the DeLorean went over the edge. The aerodynamic car turned nose down, and the two passengers grabbed the ceiling with their palms, screaming. Kroft's flying sedan hovered above as they watched the DeLorean go down.

Emmett and Elliot both wanted to close their eyes, but were mesmerized watching the ground become closer and closer. The nose of the car was mere inches above the bottom of the canyon. There was an explosive sound and a bright flash.
