Lara-Le and Wynmacher decided to call their baby Knecapeon "Kneecaps" Mace.

Mobius: 25 Years Later - A Difference in Opinion
- Writer: Ken Penders
- Penciler: Steven Butler
- Inker: Jim Amash
- Letterer: John E. Workman
- Colorist: Jason Jensen
At midnight on Angel Island, Knuckles has stepped outside away from his houseguests only to find King Sonic waiting for him. As Knuckles invites Sonic to walk with him, Queen Sally and Julie-Su watch from above, hoping they can work things out. Knuckles says that it's worth listening to Rotor and Cobar because the world might end, but Sonic is confused. Knuckles doesn't know what is to come of this, or if they're tackling forces of nature or beyond.
Sonic mentions that it didn't happen to Knuckles with his Chaos powers. Sonic reminds Knuckles that when Robotnik stole the Master Emerald, Knuckles became Chaos Knuckles again. Knuckles disagrees that Angel Island would've been destroyed if he didn't. Sonic reminds him again that Chaos Knuckles didn't just take down Robotnik, but he remade Mobius the way he wanted, including de-roboticizing Julie-Su. Sonic thinks that Knuckles is responsible for the current chain of events, but Knuckles blames Sonic for acting stupid.
Knuckles reminds Sonic that he attempted to use a gadget to stop Knuckles. The gadget blew back and Sonic was comforted by Sally. Sally believed that the nullifier went off prematurely, and Julie-Su called them over to Knuckles. Sonic and Julie-Su are shocked that the accident cost him his eye, as Knuckles is pointing to his cyborg eye. Sonic still blames Knuckles that his actions could have started the chain of events. Sonic asks if there are any other ideas that Knuckles has, but Knuckles walks off saying that he doesn't sound like the old Sonic. Sonic wonders what happened to himself.
