Chapter 3
See? I told you guys (and girls) that this chapter won't take so long to be published than the last chapter. Anyway, here ya go!
Two skateboards were rode across the rough cement streets with two skateboards, as the high-school couple Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker had made their way to Twin Pines Mall's parking lot.
It was almost empty, as expected, but what was not expected was the truck standing right in the middle of the lot, and the dog beside the truck, as if waiting for something.
Marty immediately recognised the dog, smiling as he got off his skateboard and jogged towards the dog, Jennifer followed, also smiling as she also recognised the dog. Marty put his hand on the dog's head and patted it.
"Einstein!" Marty greeted, that was the dog's name, Marty then continued, "Hey Einstein, where's Doc boy?" Marty asked, he started to look up, as he heard Jennifer let out a small gasp.
"What is it Jenn?" Marty asked, as he then caught eyes with the DeLorean backing up, from the truck, which now had a ramp protruding from the back along with the doors being open.
The DeLorean dramatically backed up, as Marty frowned in curiosity, though Jennifer looked in awe. The right gull-wing door opened, as a disheveled old man, who Marty and Jennifer both recognised to be Dr. Emmett Brown, came out, wearing a white radiation suit minus the helmet.
"Marty, you made it! And I see you bought Jennifer!" Doc noted, glancing at Jennifer.
"Hi, Dr. Brown." Jennifer greeted.
"Yeah." Marty nodded affirmatively once.
"Welcome to my latest experiment, the one I've been waiting for all my life." Doc happily welcomed, Jennifer became a bit confused when he said 'all my life'.
"Well, it's a DeLorean, right?" Marty asked, also confused
"Bare with me Marty, all your questions will be answered, roll tape, we'll proceed." Doc requested, as Marty held up the video camera.
"Dr. Brown, is that…" Jennifer attempted to ask.
But she was cut off by Doc, who quickly stated, "Never mind that now, never mind that now." He then stood up straight. Marty glanced up a bit.
"Alright. I'm ready!" Marty exclaimed, as Doc smiled.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Emmett Brown. I'm standing on the parking lot of Twin Pines Mall. It's Saturday morning, October 26th, 1985, 1:18 am." Doc introduced himself to the camera, as Marty glanced at the watch to see if he was right, but the time on his watch was… off… he tried to shake it, but then his concentration went to recording when Doc continued "And this is Temporal Experiment #1. C'mon Einy!" Doc suddenly ordered, the dog obeyed the orders of his owner, as he then ordered, "Hey hey boy! Get in there" Einstein jumped in, as Doc started praising the dog, "That a boy, in you go. Get down, that's it."
"Whoa whoa, okay." Marty responded to the scene.
"Dr. Brown, what are you doing?" Jennifer asked, but the question was ignored.
Instead, Doc said, "Please note that Einstein's clock is in complete synchronisation with my control watch." He held up two watches, as Jennifer nodded affirmatively
"Right, check Doc!" Marty quickly replied, then continued to record
"Good." He then turned his head to Einstein, who was sitting on the DeLorean's, he then greeted, "Have a good trip Einstein", he began to close the gull-wing door as he warned, "Watch your head."
"Dr. Brown, what's going on?" Jennifer asked, now very confused, as Doc pulled out a remote, like one used to control a remote-controlled car.
"You got that thing hooked up to the…" Marty started asking, but he paused when a hum was heard due to a button being pressed on the remote, he continued anyway, "… car?"
Doc walked left a few steps, as Marty and Jennifer glanced at each other, both confused, they then followed Doc to where he was and Marty pointed the camera, at first the remote, then the car.
The car started accelerating quickly, as Doc pushed one of the control sticks on the remote, the speed increased.
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're both gonna serious shit." Doc calmly stated, as the car continued accelerating.
Marty and Jennifer both tried to pull away from where they were, but Doc held Marty, who, in the process, held Jennifer in place, thinking that if he's going to experience whatever, most likely death, she should too.
They all saw a bright, white flash, as the car had disappeared, all that was left was a trail of flames. Jennifer instinctively covered her mouth, as Marty stood there, shocked. Doc was happy, no, ecstatic.
"Ha ha! What'd I tell you! 88 miles per hour! The temporal displacement occurred at exactly 1:20 AM and zero seconds!" Doc cheered.
Marty went towards a number plate that had fallen off the car during the Temporal Displacement. It burned, as he immediately dropped it, Jennifer ran towards Marty, concerned.
"Hot, Jesus Christ, Doc! You disintegrated Einstein!" Marty exclaimed, in horror of the situation, Jennifer couldn't say anything.
"Calm down Marty. I didn't disintegrate anything, The molecular structure of Einstein and the car are completely intact!" Doc explained
Jennifer was now confused, and in said confusion, she suddenly asked, "If they are intact, the why did they disappear?"
"That is because Einstein just became the world's first Time Traveller! I sent him, into the future!" Doc pointed at the direction the car was going, he then continued, "One minute into the future. And at exactly 1:21 AM we should catch up with him and the Time Machine."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Marty shook his head in denial, as he walked closer to Doc, he then asked, "Doc, are you telling me that you built a Time Machine, out of a DeLorean?"
"The way I see it, if you're gonna build a Time Machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" He asked, then he went to rambling, "Besides, the stainless steel construction made the flux dispersal…" His clock then beeped, as he widened his eyes, he shouted, "Look out!", as he pushed both Marty and Jennifer out of the way.
The car reappeared right at that spot, as the two teenagers were bewildered, a time machine? That was unbelievable, but the evidence was right in front of them.
Doc cautiously walked towards the Time Machine, and attempted to open the door, but then he felt extreme cold, and pain from the cold, as he immediately pulled his hand out of the way and held it with his other hand.
"What, is it hot?" Marty asked, his expression turning from bewilderment to concern, Jennifer held Marty's shoulder.
"It's cold, damn cold" Doc answered, as he lifted his foot and opened the door that way, as he immediately opened the seat belt on Einstein and the dog jumped off the car, apparently calm. Doc laughed at his appearance, "Einstein, you little devil!", he then turned to Marty and Jennifer, saying, "Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine, it's still ticking."
"He's alright" Marty blinked in shock
"He's fine, and he's completely unaware that anything happened. As far as he's concerned the trip was instantaneous. That's why Einstein's watch is exactly one minute behind mine. He skipped over that minute to instantly arrive at this moment of time." Doc explained.
Doc then showed Marty and Jennifer how it worked, with the keypad, and the Flux Capacitor, the thing that harnessed the power of the Time Machine and the part that inspired Doc to build the Time Machine.
"This is.. uh… heavy duty, Doc. This great. Uh, does it run on regular unleaded gasoline?" Marty asked, curious
"Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more, kick. Plutonium." Doc answered, Jennifer gasped at the name of the material.
"Plutonium?" Jennifer asked, shocked
"Wait a minute, are you telling me that this sucker's nuclear?" Marty asked, about to put down the camera.
Doc saw what Marty was doing, and quickly told him, "Hey, hey, keep rolling, keep rolling there. This sucker's electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity that I need."
"But, you don't buy plutonium from stores…" Jennifer stated
"I got it from a group of Libyan Nationalists. They wanted me to build a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn, gave them a shiny bomb full of used pinball parts." Doc explained
"Jesus." Marty whispered
"Let's get you in a radiation suit, we must prepare to reload. Jennifer, you might need to stay far away for this one, since I only have to radiation suits." Doc warned, as Jennifer stepped back.
They both got their radiation suits, and by the time, Jennifer was leaning on the truck, which was a good distance away from the DeLorean. Doc and Marty came out with white and yellow radiation suits, respectively. Doc put the plutonium case onto a hole that fit it on the DeLorean.
The cylindrical plutonium instantly got sucked into the DeLorean, as Marty, Doc and Jennifer all jumped at the suddenness.
"Safe now." Doc told everyone, as Jennifer stepped closer, Doc and Marty both took off their helmets. "Everything's let lined. Don't you lose those tapes now, we'll need a record.", they all stood up, but Doc realised something. He said it out loud, "I almost forgot my luggage Who knows if they've got cotton underwear in the Future, I'm allergic to all synthetics."
"The Future?" Jennifer immediately asked
"Is that where you're going?" Marty asked
"That's right! Twenty five years into the Future, I've always dreamed on seeing the Future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series." Doc answered both of their questions.
"Uh… Doc" Marty made the tone he made when he wanted to request something
"Huh?" Doc asked, as his head shot up to Marty.
"Look us up when you get there." Marty requested, Doc nodded
"Indeed I will." Doc agreed, as he instructed Marty, "Roll em." Marty immediately took the camera and pointed it at Doc, who said, "I, Doctor Emmett Brown, am about to embark on an historic journey." He then laughed, Jennifer glanced at Marty confusedly. "What have I been thinking of?" He asked himself, and he continued, "I almost forgot to bring extra plutonium. How did I ever expect to get back? One pellet one trip, I must be out of my mind!" Doc exclaimed, but turned serious, when he heard barking… Einstein
Marty, Jennifer and Doc all glanced at Einstein, who was barking at a pink van. Doc's expression changed from seriousness in favour of a horrified one.
"Oh my god, they found me, I don't know how but they found me. Run for it! You two!" Doc suddenly exclaimed, as Marty shot a look at Doc
"Who? Who?" He asked, getting scared.
"Why do you think, the Libyans!" Doc exclaimed, Marty and Jennifer glanced at the pink van, as the bullets of a machine gun suddenly fired, Marty and Jennifer both ran to behind the van, as it came closer and they all gained a view of it.
"Holy shit." Marty swore.
"OH MY GOD!" Jennifer exclaimed at the same time Marty swore
"I'll draw their fire!" Doc exclaimed, pulling out a gun.
Doc tried to shoot at them, but at the realisation that he had no bullets, he dropped the gun and raised his hands in surrender, but that didn't stop the terrorists from shooting Doc. Jennifer gasped in anguish, as her hand instinctively went to her mouth.
"NO! BASTARDS!" Marty screamed in a similar anguish to Jennifer, the Terrorists found them, and they didn't want any witnesses to this.
Marty glanced at Doc's dead body for one last time, before he felt a tug, he ran along with Jennifer to the DeLorean. Marty jumped to the driver's seat, and pressed start. The car revved, and shot forward, with the van in close pursuit, Jennifer looked back and saw a terrorist trying to shoot them.
"Marty, quick!" Jennifer exclaimed
"Yeah, I know!" Marty exclaimed back, as they went forward, this was going to be one adventure.
Cliffhanger! Sorry about that. But then, there's always next chapter, which won't be released for a few weeks because of school. It's starting again. Anyway, see ya, for now.
