He stares at that neglected muffin while she's away, his mind back to racing. Opening portals in time...He could find Uma. Get rid of Warlord Kodos while he's at it, for all the good he did the two of them. He could break the Arachne free, he could leave Mogul in their place to rot. That would also require waylaying that Finitivus fellow while he was at it, but he'd be a pushover, wouldn't he? All he has going for him is portal magic and Naugus has so much more! He would have time to plan, time to map it all out, all the intricacies, the dominoes.

He could stop Eggman before he ruined it all.

"...How could I do this? And wouldn't I meet with myself? Paradoxes and the like."
