During a game between the Strikers and the Monarchs, Nate is put in a situation where he has to decide between going for a goal after a player on the rival team gets injured, or kicking the ball out of bounds as an act of good sportsmanship. His teammates cannot understand when Nate stops the play and sacrifices his chance to win the game.
