Unfortunately, the evil [[Dr. Robotnik]] has other plans. he needs fuel for his latest diabolical devices, and the Power Emerald that supplies electricity to the entire island fits the bill perfectly. His awful new invention, the [[Combi Confiner]], should help him get rid of that annoying echidna and his friends.

"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 Knuckles returns from patrolling the far end of the island, he discovers that Dr. Robotnik has imporsed all of his friends—[[Espio the Chameleon]], [[Mighty the Armadillo]], [[Vector the Crocodile]] and [[Charmy Bee]]. After he chases the Doctor off, Knuckles discovers that he can resuce one friend at a time by using Ring Power...only the power that sparks between the Rings hold the two partners together like a magical rubber band. Never held back for long, Knuckles finds that with a little teamwork, he can use the stretching and snapping action of the Ring Power to double—even triple—the partners' speed.

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.

A floating island somewhere in the world. It has been several months since an incident caused this island to graze the surface of the ocean.
However, an upheaval occurred deep in the south sea, and an island appeared out of nowhere. It was a product of tectonic movement, caused by the power of the Master Emerald "pillar" on the floating island. Moreover, the island was changing its appearance at a very fast pace in just a short period of time.
The energy of the "pillar" was transforming the island from a mere rocky mass into a green paradise.

"There's something on that island..."
Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald Pillar, wonders about the rapid changes on the island that continue uninterrupted.
Are there vestiges of a legendary civilization lying dormant on the island, which disappeared in an instant due to the runaway "power stone" in the distant past?
"Something must be amplifying the power of the 'pillar.'"
With that thought and with a sense of responsibility as a guardian, Knuckles went to the island alone.

However, he wasn't the only one who thought so.
Dr. Eggman, the infamous genius scientist, was also one of them, and had already gone to the island to investigate.
There, Eggman discovered a small ring with ancient writing carved on it. It turned out that the island had been indeed part of a lost civilization.
He also discovers a super ring that looks exactly like the one on the floating island. It was an ancient special ring that was used before the legendary civilization was lost.

"Now I can reach the Master Emerald again!"
Eggman was astonished at the discovery, but the power stone that the special ring was supposed to guide him to had already been moved to the floating island by the gods who descended from the sky.

However, the mysterious space created by the special ring was filled with "pillar" energy and turned into a ring-shaped crystalline body called a "Chaos Ring."
"If I can find out the secret of this special ring, I can not only find the secret of Sonic's gang's rings, but I can also summon the Master Emerald!"
With that thought in mind, Eggman hastily builds a fortress on the island. The resort, named Newtrogic High Zone, is where Eggman's terrible plans are aswirl.

And when Knuckles arrived near the island, it was all too late. Eggman succeeded in crystallizing the energy. He named the artificial ring the "Dark Ring." He also developed a "ring power" that could generate a space-time connection between the rings.
