Hill Valley Festival- 8:31PM- 2023B

"Gee, Doc everything okay?"Marty asked as Doc walked up to meet the family again.

"I.." Doc began before pausing to think a moment.

"Actually I could use your help! Come with me, we will be right back!" Doc insisted.

"Emmett, should I come too?" Clara asked.

"Yes my love! Come along!" Doc said.

"But Doc, you just got here. What's going on? Marty asked as they began to walk off.

"I know, I'll explain the best I can in the truck" Doc responded.

They crept around the back of the Clock Tower and Doc helped Clara inside of the tall truck.

"What in the hell is happening Doc!? Are we gonna go back to the future or something" Marty asked.

"No Marty, I need to get to your kids! We need to go back to the past!" He shouted.

"My kids!? Back to the past!?" Marty asked.

"Precisely! Something happens to me Marty. When I get back to 1915. And I think we figured out just what exactly it is that makes me disappear. I met these kids earlier today who showed up to my house. YOUR kids Marty, from an alternate 2023!" Doc responded.

"Woah Doc this is heavy. So you're telling me that there are TWO 2023s!?" He asked, turning the key of the truck and powering it up, the headlights coming on.

"Yes, but in the other one I didn't return! It has been manufactured by someone who is playing with the timestream!" Doc shouted.

"Well who's doing all of this Doc?" Marty asked.

"Its an organization from the future called the TTA who eradicate anyone who is a doer of wrong and disrupts the timeline! They've been after me for months I'm afraid and it seems tonight is when they're suppose to have caught up with me. But lucky for me I have Dawn and Scott and their friend Brady who arrived in 1915! They can change everything for me!" Doc shouted.

"Wait wait, so do you need me to come along Doc!? I mean I can still help." Marty began.

"No Marty, I need you to return to your family as if everything is normal. When the time is right we will return to you! When this is all fixed it'll be as if nothing happened. But I'm telling you this so that you have the memory. Marty, in that other timeline you and Jennifer's marriage doesn't work as a result of me not showing up and you becoming obsessed. Everything will be fixed." Doc insisted.

Lasers still fired at the kids.

The five TTA officers on their hoverboards closed in.

Boots Tannen fired again, Scott ducking as the blast hit the side mirror of the truck, blowing it clean off.
