Order & Chaos is a 3-part story by Nigel Kitching, Richard Elson and Tom Frame. During Sonic and Tails' defense of the Floating Island against the Drakon Empire, the heroes are joined by Knuckles the Echidna, fresh from his adventure in the Special Zone. The Prosecutor in charge steals the Master Emerald from Tails and enacts his true plan; the crook uses his sword to teleport the others away after revealing himself to be Grimer. He then summons Doctor Robotnik through a Mobius Ring where he is free to absorb the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
