Eventually, Robotnik managed to translate the scrolls that told where the stones were. The Freedom Fighters set out to stop Robotnik from getting them, but he nevertheless successfully obtained the first stone. However, thanks to a plan by Tails, they were able to prevent him from finding the second stone by finding it first and then convincing Robotnik that they had destroyed it. In fact, they had destroyed a fake, and brought the real stone with them back to Knothole. The Deep Power Stones are also known to have the same energy found in the Power Rings, but 10,000 times more powerful.
