In the distant future, Rigby leads Benson, Skips, Hi-Five Ghost, Muscle Man, and Pops against an half human-half cyborg named Mr. Ross who is erasing time. They find Mr. Ross' weapon is guarded by a cyborg version of Mordecai, who attempts to kill Rigby for a transgression he did in the past. Benson sacrifices himself so that Rigby can use a space ship/time-machine to reach the past to stop the chaos. Rigby does so, but not before Mordecai shoots him with a plasma shotgun.
In the present, Mordecai and Rigby barely convince Benson not to fire them after running late. When the spaceship/time machine crash lands in the park, future Rigby tells Mordecai, Rigby and their co-workers that when Mordecai and Rigby were in high school, they created a time machine that backfired and created a "Time-nado", a tornado with the ability to travel through space and time, which was harnessed and weaponized by their former science teacher and volleyball coach, Mr. Ross, who was held responsible and sent to prison. Before dying, future Rigby also reveals future Mordecai shot him, and says Rigby must "tell the truth" in order to save the universe, even if it costs him his friendship with Mordecai. When questioned for details, Mordecai explains they created the time machine because Rigby got into their dream college, College University, but Mordecai did not. Benson tries to convince everyone the whole thing is a hoax, until Muscle Man finds future Mordecai's plasma shotgun and accidentally blows up Benson's car with it, leaving Benson in shock.
After preparing for the mission, the employees use the ship to reach Mordecai and Rigby's high school days, but damage the ship's engines in the process. Skips, Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost stay behind to repair the ship's engines while Benson and Pops follow Mordecai and Rigby to the science lab to find the time machine that past Mordecai and past Rigby were working on with past Mr. Ross, who is angry at Rigby for costing the volleyball team the championship but was forced to let him do an extra credit assignment to pass his class. However, the volleyball team attack them and make them separate, forcing Mordecai and Rigby to get help from their past selves.
