Indiana Jones to the Future!

Indiana Jones 1930 -1985

09:36am

Valley College

Hill Valley, California

12th May 1930

"What do you mean I'm fired!?" demanded a man who was outraged.

"I'm sorry but the board has been discussing this for months. It just isn't working out." Jules Brown, the head of the college that the now unemployed furious man used to work at. "You know I've always got your back if you need help in the money area..."

"...NO! Money is not the problem. Jules, you know perfectly well that it isn't the problem." the other person yelled.

"Then what is the problem? You'll just end up going on another one of your escapades and having months of work to do it. In fact why do you even need a job? I'm sure you find plenty of "fortune and glory" elsewhere being as though you are the renowned Dr. Indiana Jones!" the man who was revealed to be the famed archaeologist stormed off towards a door which said his name. A loud bang echoed through the corridors as his door slammed.

The head walked off in another direction through the long corridor and down a staircase. He turned a corner and came face to face with a man who resembled him a little. He had bushy white hair with wild eyes and a friendly yet odd appearance. The stranger looked like he had just walked out of the twenty-first century. What decade however was unclear.

"Good to see you again son!" the man cheerfully gleamed at Jules.

"Dad, you can't show up like this. I told you to warn me and for god sake what is that your wearing? You need to remembering which son you're visiting and what time period they live in!"

"Well, I'm sorry but I just wanted to see my eldest son. I've got clothes for every time period since the Romans. I'll change."

"Never mind, dad. Just come in my office and we'll...talk..." Jules' tone was unenthusiastic as he knew that the work 'talk' was going to turn into an argument of some sort. Suddenly, Indy came down the stairs to the office and was greeted by his former boss's father.

"Brown! I need to talk to you..." he glared at the face of the old man and smiled "...I didn't know you where back in town, Dr. Brown. How long has it been?"

"A long time...a very long time." Dr. Brown said as the grin on his face grew larger.

"I would stop and chat but I have unattended business that should have been dealt with a while ago."

The archaeologist strode off back up the stairs obviously annoyed with the old man's presence. Indy's office came into view but something was wrong. The door was swinging open and a figure appeared there, he looked around and saw Dr. Jones. He yelled inside the office and two other people ran out of the doorway and down the other corridor. Indy rushed up to view the state he knew his already untidy room would be in. He had a quick search to see if anything had been stolen and then carried on after the raiders who had been rummaging through his private things. They hurried into a car just as he saw Emmett Brown open his car door and sit in. He sat and did something to the front of the dashboard which Indy didn't see. The car looked as mysterious as the man and he decided not to question either, instead he ran to Emmett and yelled something. The doctor got out and the other doctor got and drove off on the spaceship like car after the thugs who had searched his office.

Dr. Brown was shocked and headed back to the college as fast as he possibly could, luckily he saw his son appear from the entrance.

"Jules, Jules! He yelled. "Your friend drove off in the DeLorean!!"

"The DeLorean?" questioned Jules

"Yes, the second DeLorean. Well, I needed a variety of vehicles for different time periods..."

"...different time periods? But that car doesn't fit this time period. Are you telling me you built another time machine out of a DeLorean?" puzzled the son.

"Yes, but that's not the point at the minute. Your friend, Dr. Jones has drove off in the DeLorean in a panic. He mumbled something about following someone." Emmett recalled.

"Why are we panicking?" he said with a realisation, "Surely if you've just travelled here the date in the destination pad is the same date as today."

"Actually, I had just changed the date to 1985 and refuelled. It's all ready to go it just needs to be travelling 88-miles-per-hour!"

Meanwhile, Indiana drove the strange car, the speed was building from 40 – 50 mph. Not thinking anything about he overtook traffic and gained speed when he found a clear path of road. The car moaned as he speed up past 70, 80, 85! He zoomed forward even more when a sudden darkness was around him. The road on which he was currently travelling on transformed around him. All the trees had disappeared and everything looked old and vandalised. He pulled over and left the car. He knew it looked mysterious but he didn't know how mysterious it actually was. Indy turned back to look at the car which now looked like it had been frozen but had left tire tracks of fire behind. He sat back in the with disbelief and shock. What had happened? How everything changed? He needed to work it out and fast! He looked around the car if that's what you could call it. Nothing seemed unusual except for the dashboard and the back seat. The back seat had a glowing thing, in a Y shape whilst the dashboard had three rows of dates and times. The top bar was blank and had no values entered in. The second bar had the date 13th November 1985, 1:00pm and the last date was 12th May 1930, 09:40am. There was also a keypad with numbers next to the bars. He couldn't peace it together. The dates and numbers were all confusing him further. As two strangers walked past Indy knew he'd have to ask them otherwise he could be sat questioning the events for the rest of his life.

"Erm...this will sound a little...odd to say the least but can I ask you where and when I am?" he asked trying to sound nonchalant.

"Yeah, that is 'odd' but then again what isn't. This is Hill Valley, California. The date is 13th November 1985 and the time is precisely 1:02pm." the first stranger answered. Indy recognised the teenage boy but couldn't place him. The other stranger was a teenage girl who seemed reluctant to talk. Dr. Jones knew why. When a completely random stranger asks you a very strange question in a strange neighbourhood in a strange time then you have the right to be apprehensive. Suddenly, the out of place and time archaeologist remembered the boy and suddenly announced,

"You're Marty McFly!"
