After searching ducks on the forum, I feel the following is appropriate.

In the short amount of time I had, I had already gone back in time. I had found myself a donkey. When we hit the ocean, I commanded it to start donkey-paddling out towards Japan. Liutony66 somehow managed to sneak into my time machine and go back with me. He knew I was going to kill someone, so with a homemade bow and arrow, he shot my donkey so he could no longer swim. I quickly pulled out the arrow for defense later. I had never been so embarrassed in my life that I had to abandon a donkey because of a silly arrow. I knew I couldn't make it the rest of the way by myself. The arrow and the clothes on my back were the only things I had. I started to swim back to shore, when I saw 2 plump ducks next to a couple of docks. Making a beeline over to them, I take my arrow and prepared to make my kill. I could cut up the docks and use it as firewood to cook them. Roast duck sounds pleasant.
Pluck out my target or they will die.
Fix'd some minor (or maybe intentional?) grammar. There seems to be stress on "arrow", "dock", and "duck". Maybe "donkeys" too?

The grammar and diction of the clue seems quite disjointed, so I believe it could be an intentional word clue.

However, the clue refers to an arrow being shot so that it could no longer swim - that reminded me of the "arrow to the knee" joke, and SirBobo made a thread of arrow to the knee jokes. In the same thread that littleboy linked to, a previous sassy posted "Happy birthday lllazar! Unfortunately, you will not live to see another...".

Thank you and let me kill you.

I figured that likely none of you would think much of the assassinator's sig if I didn't point this out:
I have a hybrid theory.
One gene says that in the end, you will be dead.
The other gene says that you will have a place for my head.
That is all.

Edit: Yes, forever and I are both LP fans. No, neither of us would be dumb enough to put such an obvious identity clue (OR MAYBE I'M USING REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY).

Note that both of those songs are songs from Hybrid Theory, and that the game itself is called "The Theory". A connection? Perhaps.

Maybe this clue points to Gilbert Godfrey? He was fired from Aflac after a rude Tweet about Japan. But I can't connect that to anyone...

someone could protect either 3nv1r0nm3ntal ch3m (posted the picture) or amerikestrel (solved it)
It is an austrailian wood duck
the dock part could be in reference to wood?

I think it looks more like amerikestrel. I'll protect her/him tomorrow if any better leads do not show up.
