Without Present Maplers stealing the Crystanol, there is no need for time travelling invasion; yet without invasion, there is no need for stealing the Crystanol. Though I guess all this could've started out as Dr. Bing's ambition for completing his Time Machine and The Bing Suit. And because this is too embarrassing a bit of detail, both his present and future selves decide to keep us in the dark about it.
So it started out in the present, the creation of the Time Machine, the loss of Crystanol, the Retaliation (instead of Invasion) and it all completes an endless cycle.
Much like what happens after you travel back to the past and stop yourself. If you pushed the button, there would be no ability to travel back in time. If you never pushed it, that would imply an intervention ahead of time. But nothing would have occurred before the thought has been bred in your mind.
There has to be a starting point, yet it all loops into a self-repeating cycle.
