Marble Guilt
Sonic stepped into the ruins of the Marble Zone, seeing the depressing ruins and sad purple sky. As he ventured on, he noticed underground passageways and workings. In these passageways were paintings, lava... and barred windows?
"What happened here?" the then young Sonic asked himself as he ventured through the area until he reached Dr.Robotnik with many puzzling questions in his head.
"Oh ho ho, so you found me once again Sonic!" the Doctor boomed from his Egg-O-Matic.
"Before I kick your Eggshell again, I wanna know something..." He asked Dr. Robotnik.
"Oh, so the youngling wants to know something from me, oh that's rich! Well, what is it?" Dr. Robotnik asked Sonic. Sonic asked "Why were there bars on the windows?" What the Doctor told Sonic sent a chill down his spine:
Long before Sonic and Robotnik arrived on South Island, there was a human civilization that lived on the island in harmony in the island. The island was a happy place, until Dr. Robotnik arrived. He captured and rounded up all the people of the island and interrogated them about the chaos emeralds they worshiped. The people told Dr. Robotnik that the emeralds were in a place that could only be entered by a giant gateway made by enough wealth given to the gods.
Getting fed up, Dr. Robotnik put most of the islands people in the island's prison. He barred the windows himself and threaten to leave the residents in there without giving them food or water unless they give him the chaos emeralds. The residents gave him the same answer as before and begged him to unlock them from the prison. Dr. Robotnik knew that a volcano was close to the prison and threatened to channel the lava into the prison. The prisoners just cried and begged for him to release them.
Furious, Dr. Robotnik broke open a cavern containing magma and the prison slowly filled with lava, burning the prisoners alive. As for the rest of the chained prisoners, Dr. Robotnik angrily demanded one last time to tell him where the chaos emeralds were.
They tried as best as they could to convince him about the gateway, but it just made him go ballistic. He took the prisoners to an underground labyrinth and threw them in the water. None of the island residents knew how to swim and were chained together. It took them a while for all their lungs to fill with water, but the rest of the island residents eventually drowned.
Something odd happened, something Robotnik noticed as he was burning his victims. For every island resident that died, a shiny small gold ring appeared on the island. Dr. Robotnik tried to grab these rings, but they violently shocked him. He couldn't understand it, and instead put the animals of the island in robots to dig and scour the island for the emeralds.
As Sonic listened, he realized now why he could only grab the rings. Each ring contained the soul of a deceased island resident. Every group of rings were actually the residents showing Sonic either where they used to enjoy going on the island with others or secrets of the island. Sonic battled Robotnik and Robotnik ran away. Sonic continued on his journey, but he was not looking forward to entering the Labyrinth Zone...
