Chapter 6
DOC imediately turned to Marty and Einstein saying "Get in the car, you two." Marty and Einstein complied. The flag that got attached to the DeLorean was sitting on a table after Doc detached it. He picked it up and carried it to the car. Then, he went to retrieve a few select newspapers for him to take back in time with him.

Outside the lab, Biff and his men surrounded the place. Using bloodhounds, they managed to trace Marty down. It was raining real hard now. "I'm giving you to the count of ten to come out with you hands up." said Biff.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four."
"Five."
"Six."
"Seven."
Then he turned to one of his men saying, "What comes after seven?" The man he was talking two held up eight fingers.
"Eight."
"Nine..."
Smash! The garage door exploded all by itself. It was follow by a roar of an engine. Biff and his men looked around. Nothing! "What the hell?" asked Biff. Then, he felt a breeze. And Biff saw some of his soldiers being knocked down like bowling pins. Yet, it looked like they fell down all by themselves. Biff looked on in amazement.
++++++
In the DeLorean, Marty looked back. "Doc." he said, "You should be careful. You should've killed someone." "Don't worry, Marty." said Doc, "There were plants behind the men I ran down. That should cusion their fall." Then, an indicator light went on. "Damn." said Doc, "The cloaking device is malfunctioning." Marty looked at the front of the car. The hood of it was materializing.
++++++
Biff had his troops pulled to their feet when some of them said "Sir, look." Biff turned. There was a strange car materializing and the blood hounds were following in pursuit. "That snuckles brat." said Biff, "He's in the car. Let's get him, gang." Biff collected his troops and started after the car.
++++++
Marty looked back at the approaching vehicles gaining up on them. "Doc." he said, "Do something." Doc looked ahead. There was an old abandoned truck with manure in the back. "Hang on Marty." said Doc as he activated the hovering device.

Biff was in the lead jeep as it was catching up with the car. Then, to his surprise, the car lifted off the ground and flew away. Biff and his men watched in amazement. Then, turning ahead to call his headquarters, Biff saw an old abandoned truck parked in there tracks. "Oh shit!!!" said Biff and his men as the jeep crashed into the back end of the truck. The big door opened and something stinky poured right out on top of them. Biff recognized the smell as manure. "Manure!" he said, "I hate manure." Then, they all looked hopelessly at the stormy sky, watching the flying car get away.
++++++
Doc looked down at the mess that Biff and his troops were in and said "It works every time." Setting the time circuits to December 7, 1941, 8:00 a.m., Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Doc activated the time circuits saying "Marty, Einy, brace yourselves for temporal distortion." In a moment, a bright light surrounded them.
Sunday, December 7, 1941
8:00 a.m.
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The three time travelers, found themselves once again in the face of the terrible sneak attack that plunged the U.S. into World War II. Doc landed the DeLorean on a deserted part of the shore and got out. With the help of Marty, Doc got out the torpedo. Then, Doc produced the remote control and activated the hovering circuits. "I've made some modifications with the DeLorean." said Doc, "There's a release switch in the car that'll drop the bomb in the water and send it towards the Arizona." Doc hooked the bomb onto the bottom of the DeLorean saying "According to my calculations, giving the time differential between the time the first bomb is dropped and deflected, our bomb is dropped, and given the water resestence, the bomb that we drop will strike the Arizona the same time as the other bomb was supposed to." He turned to Marty saying "When that happens, the 1985 that we left behind will become our 1985 and democracy will be restored to the U.S." "Doc." said Marty, "What if we don't succeed." "We must succeed." said Doc. Using the remote to lower the car, Doc help Marty back into the car, and then, Marty pulled Doc in. Doc tried the cloaking device again but it still failed. "Damn." said Doc as he pounded the dashboard. That cause the car to turn invisible. Then, Doc lifted off the ground and into the air. "Marty," said Doc pointing to a lever, "When I give the single, you pull the lever." "Doc," said Marty, "I don't think I should do this." "Marty!" said Doc, "This is no time for morality. Do you want to go back to the same future that we left behind?" "No, Doc." said Marty, "I wouldn't." "Then do it." said Doc as he stirred the DeLorean out the the bombing site. The bombings were in earnest by now. Doc looked through his binoculars at the Arizona and saw his other self with the other Marty and Einstein running on her decks. Then, he saw them disappear. "This is it." said Doc, "Marty, get ready to..." "No Doc!" said Marty suddenly, "I won't do it." Doc turned to Marty who went onto say "Those men are my friends. I won't kill them." "Marty." said Doc, "We don't have a choice. The future depends on us sinking the Arizona and..." "I don't care anymore." said Marty, "I don't care what happens in the future, I won't kill th..." Marty was interrupted when Doc pulled out his sleep inducer and rendered Marty unconscience. Then, he reached over to pull the lever. Using his infra-red goggles, Doc could see the DeLorean leave the Arizona as the plane was ready to drop the bomb. This is it! said Doc to himself, and he pulled the lever. The torpedo dropped into the water and sped towards the Arizona. Seconds passed. But each second was an eternity. Then, the "first" bomb was deflected by the "first" DeLorean and at the same time the "other" bomb that Doc drop was directly under both car and bomb. Doc's calculations were correct. And then, boom! The bomb that Doc repaired had made contact and the ship exploded into a fiery glory. Down, down went the Arizona. And as it did, Doc picked up his son's history book. When Doc returned to that altered 1985, the picture of the wrecked and submerged Arizona had erased from existance. Now it was going down and that same picture reappeared on the page. Then, Doc turn to the 1960 newspaper that had the election. Where it once said "BARNARD BY LANDSLIDE" now read "KENNEDY WINS". Then, Doc picked up another newspaper. This one was from 1967. Where it once read "CONSITUTION ABOLISHED" now read "NEW CONSTITUTIOINAL AMENDMENT" with the article concerning Presidential succession. Then, Doc picked up the flag. Where it was once a read flag with a black falcon on a white field changed colors to red and white stripes with bright stars on a blue field in the corner-the "real" American Flag. Lastly, Doc picked up the photograph of him posing with Nate Barnard by standing in front of his latest invention-the multi-purpose torturing device. Nate had be replaced by Marty and the torturing device was replaced by the DeLorean, and it became the photo that Clara took when Doc and his family returned to 1985 to live there. It worked. By sinking the Arizona and dooming those men-including Nate Barnard-the plan had created a ripple effect restoring the future to the way that he, Marty and Einstein knew it. Turning the car around, Doc returned to shore, got out, loaded Mr. Fusion, set the time circuits for December 7, 1985, 9:50 a.m. Hill Valley, California and setting the needle to his own house. Then, remembering to do so, he activated the time circuits, lifted off and kicked it up to 88 miles per hour and back to 1985.

The Japanese pilot had a photo of the Arizona and looked down. The ship was in his sights. With the torpedo homed in on the fuel section, the pilot dropped the torpedo into the water so it could head to the ship. But then, he saw something peculiar. The torpedo went wobbly as if it hit something in thin air. Then, he saw a flash of light followed by two streaks of fire flying by like parallel bars. And then, Boom! The Arizona had exploded into a blaze of glory. The pilot had succeeded in his mission.
