Transcript
The Freedom Fighters and the knights are seen sitting around a campfire late at night. Cream stares at him with her mouth agape. The group goes quiet and everyone looks at Nix. Nix takes a few breaths. It suddenly cuts into a flashback. In the flashback, it cuts many years later. Nix's mother is seen cooking something when his father walks in. Nix's father turns, revealing Nix to be standing beside him. He picks Nix up. He puts Nathanial down. She gives Nathanial a box which he opens, revealing a red scarf. Nathanial stares at the scarf and puts it on. His mother hugs him in response. She does. Nathanial runs upstairs and looks at himself in the mirror, taking off his scarf and putting it on the ground before jumping into bed and falling asleep. However, he is woken up late at night by a loud banging noise.
 * Sonic: Well... guess this is it, folks... end of the world, ma. Does anyone have any regrets? Or anything they'd like to confess? Nobody's gonna care now after all. If you need help, I'll start. I regret not asking my uncle who my parents are. Who wants to go next
 * Knuckles: I regret nothing.
 * Sally: I regret not finding my lost love from high school...
 * Tails: I regret not hunting down Scorpio Genovese, the man who killed my uncle.
 * Amy: I regret not being better... in general.
 * Cream: I'm sorry, did he just say something about hunting down the man who killed his father?
 * Tails: Uncle. He killed my uncle.
 * Cream: Wha... why am I just hearing about this now?
 * Tails: I mean, it's not really a secret. I said it a few times before.
 * Sonic: So, knights, do you guys have any regrets?
 * Jack: Falling in love with that rabbit.
 * Bartholomew: I regret not stopping him from falling in love with that rabbit.
 * Nix: I regret not being honest...
 * Maximus: You can tell us what happened now, Nix. If you're ready that is...
 * Nix: I am.
 * Nix: It happened six years ago...
 * Nix (VO): I was only six at the time and I was living in a village that was full of other rabbits. My parents were kind, humble people who were former adventurers. During one trip, my dad told my mom he was taking her to the Temple of Thoth, but when she went in, she found nothing but a very large sign that read "will you marry me?". My dad... wasn't one for subtlety. I didn't know what was happening since I was young but eventually... I pieced it together...
 * Mother: So, how was work today?
 * Father: Well apparently my fancy hat is a distraction for others. So that's fun... so how're the kids?
 * Mother: Hank, Tommy, Lewis, Samantha, Ashley, Ruby are all asleep, Kyle and Quinn are out, and Nathanial is...
 * Nathanial: I'm over here!
 * Father: Hey then, bud, what're you doing up so late?
 * Sonic (VO): Wait, your parents had nine kids?
 * Nix (VO): We're rabbits, a big family is a part of the deal. Now can I continue?
 * Nathanial: I'm not tired!
 * Father: I wasn't either but I still went to sleep. You know why?
 * Nathanial: Because you have work?
 * Father: That's right. And you have school. So what does that mean?
 * Nathanial: I have to sleep?
 * Father: That's right.
 * Father: Now, run along.
 * Mother: Oh, but Nathanial, before you go, I have a gift for you!
 * Nathanial: What's this?
 * Mother: I was shopping earlier and I saw it. I thought it would be perfect for you!
 * Nathanial: I don't really like scarfs...
 * Mother: Do it for me?
 * Mother: Oh, you look so adorable in it, my little Nix! You could be a brave hero one day!
 * Nathanial: Mom, please let go...
 * Nathaniel: Huh?
