Portal Timer and Time Travel

Every Bryan is crazy!

Molten was still skulking around while the two Bryans shared a greasy pizza on the starlight stage.

The alternate one looked around in amazement "This place looks really cool!" He looked at his counterpart "You really made all this?"

Bryan laughed as he finished a slice of pizza. "Yeah, but the animatronic's do most of the work if I'm honest."

"Then we deserve to get payed!" Heply said from the Funtime stage, where Baby was performing one of her soap operas.  "If I pay you then you need to start paying rent since you live here! Also you steal my money anyway!!" The small animatronic huffed and turned away.

The two Bryans looked at each other with a suffering stare "Bears."

"I suggest you leave." Molten's staticky voice came from behind them. Since they were sitting on the stage he practically towered over them both like some sort of robotic Godzilla, or like Jesus. Robot Jesus?

"Why's that?" The business owner asked. The animatronic leaned down until Bryan could make out the individual scratch marks across his face plates. "You mind your damn business, I don't know what's going on between you and that stupid animatronic, but you've gotten too cocky."

There was a click as yet another gun was pulled from the other Bryan's coat. "Are you really going to shoot me again?" Molten asked annoyed. The scientist shrugged and handed the pistol to his counterpart.

"For future use. Consider it payment for the pizza... since I don't have any money....." he trailed off. Bryan smiled and pocketed the gun "Thanks, I'm sure it'll be useful."

The two humans stood up and walked each other back to the portal room with the animatronic bear hovering over them like an angry bird. "Well I guess this is it." The other universe him said awkwardly.

Bryan chuckled "Ah we'll meet again, someday. The crazy ones always find me again." He murmured that last part to himself, but pretty sure Molten heard it.

"See ya later!" The man jumped into the portal with a squeal of joy, vanishing into the darkness.

Bryan huffed and turned to Molten. He expected some snarky remark but... the animatronic just stood there... menacingly. Although it may not have been intended that way but, well, Molten happened to be a horrid amalgamation.

He shrugged and slipped out the door. Steve was completely enthralled with Baby's soap opera, as were a few of the other animatronics. But he's already lived through this and knows how the episode ends.

... he never did get to finish the second season before he died...

So he scooted to sit beside Lefty on the stage, watching the show.

Molten watched from a distance. By now Afton had noticed the new animatronic and Bryan's behavior and was starting to get pushy that they intervene.

But there's something more going on than just strange behavior.

Molten recognizes the awkward way Bryan moves his limbs as if hadn't used them in months, the way his skin is starting to tint at the edges of his face.

So very reminiscent of a corpse.

And then there's Steve.

Something about that... thing... just rubbed him the wrong way.

The bear shook his head and slithered back into the vents, scheming and planning in the dark.
