[Backstage]
Exo tried not to scream as he watched the older animatronic let go of his snout.
"Now, stay quiet, won't you Exo?" The animatronic said. Exo nodded his head, staying a bit calm.
"H-how?" Exo asked in complete shock.
"Time travel; eh it's a bit too complicated for you to know now." The animatronic told Exo.
"I think I deserve to know how you... how I got here from the future." Exo demanded. Fu-Exo sighed, and looked down at the ground.
"It... was experimentally technology. Untested, not even for public use at the time." Fu-Exo explained.
"But, why can't you just go back?" Exo asked.
"Like I said, experimental." Fu-Exo repeated himself to make sure Exo understood.
"Ah... but why are you here in the 1st place? Wouldn't you rather be in that time?" Exo asked.
"2052? That place? Everything'll slowly turn into a hell-hole, even right now when you can't even notice it." Fu-Exo said.
"B-but why'd you even come here in the 1st place?" Exo said. Fu-Exo sighed, hoping that he won't ask that question.
"It was... Swift's idea... to stop something." Fu-Exo told Exo.
"Stop something? Like what." Exo wondered.
"I can't tell you that much now can I? I've only come here to give you some warnings." Fu-Exo said.
"Why not tell me everything? Huh? Why can't you?" Exo said, getting a bit annoyed.
"Because I can't mess with the timeline, I can't give the warnings I haven't already been given." Fu-Exo replied.
"Come on, 1 or 2 things can't do any harm, now can it?" Exo said.
"Trust me, you don't want to mess with the timeline, that has already happened once already." Fu-Exo began, "Have you heard of that Groundhog Day thing?"
"Y-yeah, that infinite loop that needs to be broken?" Exo asked.
"Yes that, but the problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to break the loop." Fu-Exo said.
"What does this have to do with anything?" Exo said.
"This is the 20th loop, and it doesn't seem like it'll end any time soon." Fu-Exo said.
"Wh-what!?" Exo said in disbelief.
"I know that it's hard to believe, but this is all true." Fu-Exo told him.
"So what is this... stuff you need to tell me?" Exo asked.
"Yes, that..." Fu-Exo began, "Do not get the golden power core, it is extremely dangerous when it's invented. Be extremely careful about who you trust that isn't already here. And most of all, keep Swift alive."
"Keep Swift alive? Why not Flame or Freddy or anyone else as well?" Exo asked.
"Because, if there's anyone else other than you and Swift, it'll become ten times harder to break the cycle." Fu-Exo said. PlushTrap suddenly appeared from behind the shelf, and scared Exo.
"What the hell!?" Exo shouted from the sudden jumpscare.
"Ha ha, hey PlushTrap." Fu-Exo said smiling.
"Hi Exo! Broke the cycle yet?" PlushTrap asked.
"W-wait. Whoever this is, know about the cycle!?" Exo asked.
"Oh yes, this little guy is extremely unique, he has the ability to go into any time he wants, but he rather prefers staying here so that he can watch over you guys in this time. Trust me, he's extremely important in figuring out how to break the cycle." Fu-Exo explained.
"H-how?" Exo asked.
"I store the information that leads up to breaking the cycle!" PlushTrap exclaimed.
"H-how much have you figured out?" Exo said.
"I almost have all of the information, this cycle could possibly be the final cycle!" PlushTrap said with excitement.
"Now, very few animatronics knows about PlushTrap's very existence. Even fewer knows that he can time travel. Keep him a secret, otherwise there might never be a way to break the cycle." Fu-Exo said.
"This... is a lot to take in right now..." Exo said.
"Don't worry, we'll give you time to process this." Fu-Exo said.
A couple minutes passed. Exo seemed to mostly understand what he had to do.
"I still have 1 question, how will I know that the cycle is broken?" Exo asked.
"That's up for you to decide, because we don't even know ourselves." Fu-Exo replied.
"You should be able to tell when you've broken it hopefully." PlushTrap said.
"Now go, they're about to discover something shocking out there." Fu-Exo said.
"And what about you?" Exo asked.
"Simple, give PlushTrap my memory, and go to the Refuge." Fu-Exo replied.
"Refuge? What is that?" Exo said.
"That... is none of your concern. Now go!" Fu-Exo shouted.
Exo got up from the table, and walked towards the door. He opened it a crack, and turned his head to look at the Future Exo. He motioned Exo to keep moving, and Exo soon left the room.
"So, why does each loop keep lying about the Refuge?" PlushTrap asked.
"Hm?" Fu-Exo asked.
"Oh you know, each version keeps looking for this Refuge, but never finds it. Because it simply doesn't exist." PlushTrap said.
"I know, I just wanted him to believe that." Fu-Exo said.
"Well, give me your memory card." PlushTrap commanded. Fu-Exo open up a slit in the back of his neck, and took out the memory card inside. PlushTrap gladly took it, and ate it up.
"Almost there..." PlushTrap said.
"And now, I leave." Fu-Exo said as he opened up a hatch on the roof. He walked over to a very hidden spot on the roof and laid down.
"You're going to stay up here?" PlushTrap asked.
"Just turn me off." Fu-Exo said rudely as he closed his eyes.
"Alright, this'll keep you from being seen at least." PlushTrap said as he flicked the power switch. PlushTrap went back down the hatch, but not before catching a glimpse of Fu-Exo nearly powered down.
"I wish that this will end soon..." PlushTrap said as he closed the hatch.
