An island afloat somewhere in the world
A few months have passed since that incident which brought the island within a close brush of the ocean surface.
There is a surge of activity deep in the seabed of the Southern Oceans, causing an island to suddenly appear out of it .
This was the resulting aftermath of tectonic activity stimulated by the Master Emerald Pillar on the Floating island.
What's more, the new island began to alter its shape with incredible speed.
The Pillar's energy was changing the island from a mere hunk of rock to a lush tropical Eden.
"There's gotta be something on that island…"
Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald Pillar is irked with questions about the
sudden and ever-ongoing change that the island is experiencing.
Could it be that the remnants of the legendary civilization that perished in the distant past,
when the Powerstone ran amuck?
"Something must be amplifying the power of the Pillar."
This was the thought that occurred to Knuckles. Duty-bound to his role as Guardian, he heads for the island alone.
But he was not alone.
The very same thought had occurred to the notorious scientific genius, Dr. Eggman, who was already there investigating the island.
There, Eggman found a small ring engraved with ancient text.
Now he knew the island was indeed part of the lost civilization.
He also finds another ring identical to the Super Ring on the Floating island.
And it turned out to be a very special ring, one used in antiquity before the legendary civilization was lost.
"With this, I can access the Master Emerald once again"
Eggman is elated by the discovery. However, the Powerstone (which
the special ring could control) had already been removed to the Floating
island by the gods descended from heaven.
But the strange dimensional space created by the special ring is filled up with the Pillar's energy, forming a ring-shaped crystal called the "Chaos Ring".
"If I uncover the secrets of the special ring, I'll have the secrets to the
rings of Sonic and his pesky gang. And I'll have the power to summon the
Master Emerald!"
With this scheme in mind, Eggman quickly builds a fortress on the island.
The resort he has dubbed "Neutrogic High-Zone" is aswirl with Eggman's evil plan.
When Kunckles arrived, it was already too late. Eggman had succeeded in crystallizing the energy. He named the artificial ring the Dark Ring.
And he was on his way to developing the Ring Power, which would produce time-dimentional connections between different rings.
"Once I have this, they'll be able to do nothing. No one will get in my way, and the world will at last be mine!"
Eggman was now well on his way to realizing his ambitions.
