《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 228: Back to the Future I.II
Advertisement
The eccentric Doc Brown is yet to be seen after all. Also, all points, such as the ingenious dog food openers and contraption, lead to the conclusion that "Back to the Future" may have something to do with him.
12:30 am. Time for Marty to get his butt to Twin Pines Mall. Oh, and bring a video camera, Doc tells him.
Eventually, the appointed 1:15 AM did come and Marty heads to the Twin Pines Mall parking lot. Of course, with a video camera in hand from the late-hour Doc errand.
Marty meets up with Doc, your typical mad scientist type, his dog Einstein, and… a car.
A DeLorean, specifically with a smokey entrance from a mechanized trailer to signify its importance to things.
The thing had been on all the posters and trailers, so it was quite a build-up to finally see it in the story.
The camera starts rolling, and Marty records Doc explaining that he's built a time machine. And now, it is revealed that Doc has roped Marty into helping him test out his greatest invention—a working time machine made out of a DeLorean.
If a remote-controlled 'real' car isn't enough to raise everyone's brows...
The iconic 88 miles per hour was reached on a counter and the kitted out DeLorean speeded onto the Doc and Marty duo with blazing glory.
Lo and behold... and to everyone's surprise... the speeding DeLorean disappeared with fiery tracks trailing behind its back!
-----
By the time it reappeared, the eccentric doctor that is disapproved by everyone proved time travel is possible by sending Einstein the Dog, one minute into the future.
Doc shows Marty how it works and introduces him to the "flux capacitor," which is what makes time travel possible.
And oh yeah here's the kicker—it runs on plutonium! The stolen plutonium that the news has been hounding about!
How did Doc get a hold of such a thing, you ask? He simply stole and ripped it off from a bunch of Libyan nationalists!

Thank goodness nothing could possibly go wrong and there should be not much downside, except that there was...
As the Doc finished giving his teen friend a crash course on the machine with a DeLorean facade, that downside eventually arrived
The Libyans show up, pepper Doc with bullets, and nearly do the same to Marty… but he luckily escapes via the DeLorean.
In typical Hollywood car chase fashion, Marty hops unto the prepped time-traveling car without much choice...
With November 5, 1955 set in the timer, the flux capacitor with its fresh plutonium charge, and Marty speeding away to 88 miles per hour, the DeLorean ran with blazing glory again!
----
Marty escaped the terrorist persecution... from 1985 to 1955. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, a 17-year-old is sent 30 years back into the past!
One can already see the hijinks that come with it.
As soon as Marty and the 1980s decommissioned DeLorean set tracks unto Hill Valley, he is welcomed to the 50s by an angry older gentleman with a shotgun.
The old gentleman can't be blamed as no one should be too pleased that the kid crashed into his barn.
Of course, it also helped fuel his case as the "futuristic" car and Hazmat suit are sure signs that barn-crasher Marty is from another planet.
The guy fires one warning shot—at Marty's head—but misses. A good thing or this would have been a very short movie!
-----
Getaway in progress. Marty zips down a quiet road, as the sun starts to come up. He tries to convince himself this is all a dream, but he isn't buying it. Especially not after he sees a new development where they have just broken ground—Lyon Estates.
It was way too different from how he remembered his neighborhood to be.
With all that "law"-breaking it had been to, the car eventually dies out and Marty has to hide it.
Left with not much choice, he trudged the rest of the way into town on foot.

By the time he arrived, the town square is looking a little different than how he remembered it to be. It had traces of what it would be but it was also a treat to see how it had been.
Alexander the Chaos Butterfly in his re-life, can empathize with what Marty is feeling at the moment. Perhaps these were the very scenes that spurned him into having this film franchise as his first plunder. He was not in a hurry to head Back to the Future though as he is enjoying being Back in the Past.
Of course, Marty in the film didn't share his sentiment as being thrown into something way too rustic was not for him.
You can catch a 50-cent showing of Cattle Queen of Montana at the theater, or get your car hand-washed and serviced by a bunch of guys in uniform. Oh, and that clock tower is ticking away.
Heck, in this place one can't even get a Pepsi Free. ("You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it.")
At this point, there's only one person Marty can turn to for help. So he barges into Lou's café, uses the phone in the back to try calling Doc (who doesn't ever seem to be home), then procures his friend's address, so he can at least track him down that way.
There he sees future Mayor Wilson still contemplating what he is while being a cafe person.
Of course, that was not the only notable person he met as it just so happens that he was drinking just beside his young father!
There he was... his father-to-be, George McFly. Of course, there was the towering Biff as well.
Turns out their relationship has been consistent over the years. George is giving Biff his homework to copy reminiscent of how it would be in the future. Biff has been a bully from day one and his father had always been the bumbling man that he is.
----
Intrigued by this discovery and side-tracked from convening with Doc, Marty tails his daddy-to-be and finds him peeping through a bedroom window. It was way too different from the bird-watching reason it had been!
It was about to become much, much different though...
When George falls out of the tree he's perched in, Marty pushes him out of the way… and gets hit by a car. A car that was supposed to hit George.
By the time Marty wakes up after his nasty accident. It's dark in the room, and he hears his mother's voice…so it was all a bad dream, right? He hadn't time-traveled, right?
Nope. It's the 18-year-old version of his mother, who suddenly has a serious case of Florence Nightingale Syndrome.
Marty joins the Baines family downstairs for dinner, but Lorraine doesn't let the presence of her parental units dissuade her from getting fresh.
She grabs Marty's leg under the table, prompting him to leap up and quickly leave, probably so he can go somewhere to throw up.
It was Oedipus-like and something that Marty did not want something to do with. Of course, it was scandalous-ly interesting to everyone at this film premiere.
It made them wonder just as how Rob and Bob wondered... what it would have been if they had been the same age as their parents?
They wondered and it was fortunate that the film before them was simulating the possibilities.
Marty's tumultuous journey was still not at its end though as getting back to the future should not be that simple!
At least, the premise is already made clear and they had been enlightened about what "Back to the Future" entails...
