The former was the keeper of the [[Master Emerald]] and sought to expand its territories. Unwilling to yield their territories to their rival clan, the Nocturnus Clan soon declared a war of expansion against the Knuckles Clan. Eventually, an [[Sonic Adventure|unanticipated cataclysm]] destroyed the Knuckles Clan and ripped [[Angel Island]] from the surface of the planet. Meanwhile, the Nocturnus Clan and everything associated with it disappeared for unknown reasons, never to be seen again.<ref name="USManual">''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' ([[Nintendo DS]]) United States instructions booklet, pg. 4.</ref> Back to the present day, [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] is defeated for good, with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], [[Amy Rose|Amy]], and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] distracting the scientist while [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] sabotages Eggman's ship, the [[Egg Carrier]], which falls to Eggman's base in [[Metropolis (Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood)|Metropolis]]. As all his of machines were destroyed and suspicious activity ceased, Dr. Eggman was presumed dead. As things had gone quiet, Sonic decided to go on a solo adventure around the world, and the others thus went on their separate ways. After some considerable time had passed, Sonic received a call from Tails while on his vacation, stating that Knuckles had been kidnapped. Traveling to [[Central City (Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood)|Central City]] with Amy Rose to meet with Tails, they are escorted by [[Rouge the Bat]] to [[Guardian Units of Nations|G.U.N.]] headquarters to meet the [[Commander Abraham Tower|Commander]]. He informs them that they, along with [[Team Chaotix]], have been watching the [[Marauders]] for some time and have managed to locate their hideouts, but searching them for Knuckles proved fruitless. However, Tails managed to find and fix broken communicators found at each hideout, which allows them to pinpoint the location of the Marauders' base to the [[Mystic Ruins (Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood)|Mystic Ruins]]. Traveling by Tails' [[Tornado]] plane to avoid the soldiers guarding the Ruins, they meet up with [[Big the Cat]] who helps them locate the base, where they find Knuckles escaping from some robots. Leaving the base, they find [[Angel Island]] gone. Back at Tails' workshop, Tails develops an Eggman Tracker to locate Eggman and find out his connection to these events. After searching around previous areas for a while, including running into [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]], Tails assembles a set of Eggman's devices the group discovered along the way to disable a force field they had located in [[Green Hill Zone (Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood)|Green Hill]] during their search. Inside, they find Eggman, who claims to be a reformed character, revealing that he survived the crash of the Egg Carrier by anticipating his own defeat and making a robot that would rescue him and nurse him back to health. Eggman informs the team that Angel Island is being pulled to Metropolis, the location of the Marauders' main base. Taking the Tornado once more to go to [[Blue Ridge Zone]] in order to enter Metropolis from there, they meet Shadow and join up in order to find [[E-123 Omega]], who Shadow was looking for, but are attacked in Metropolis by Shade and her Marauders. [[Shade the Echidna|Shade]] reveals herself to be an [[echidna]] of the [[Nocturnus Clan]], leaving Knuckles, supposedly the last of the echidnas, shocked. After Sonic defeats her, she blocks the main pathway to Metropolis, but Eggman finds another route through a railway tunnel. Once there, Eggman tells them of a weapon in his lab that could help defeat the Marauders, provided he has the necessary parts. Dividing into two teams, one group, with Sonic and Knuckles, head to Angel Island to get the Master Emerald before the Marauders, and the other, led by Tails and Eggman, assists in making the weapon. Tails and his team develop a non-lethal weapon designed to return the Nocturnus to their unknown home. Meanwhile, Sonic's team infiltrates a Nocturnus airship headed for the island, but encounter problems when the enemy manages to disable the ship's weapon. Tails and Eggman use one of the remaining weapons in Metropolis to shoot down the surrounding ships to clear the way for Sonic, but accidentally shoot the ship on which their friends are on, sending them onto Angel Island. Once on the Island, Sonic and Knuckles confront the Nocturnus leader, the Grand Imperator [[Ix]], who reveals his plot to take over the dimension. This revelation shocks Shade, who believed that Ix merely wanted to bring the Nocturnus Clan back to [[earth]], for they had been sealed in the alternate dimension called the Twilight Cage during the [[Argus Event]]. It's minions come close to defeating Sonic and his team, but just as they are on the verge of defeat, Tails and Eggman arrive to save them, using a teleporter under Metropolis to get to the Island. They use their non-lethal weapon to transport several of the Nocturnus back to the Twilight Cage. The team fights Ix, but he escapes and steals the Master Emerald (which is considerably smaller in this game), causing Angel Island to fall from the sky. Ix sends the heroes and Shade flying away. Knuckles saves Shade as the island crashes into Metropolis. From there, the group witnesses Ix creating a wormhole which transports the Nocturnus back to their realm, ready to dominate. Tails and Eggman come up with a plan to follow him, deciding to build a vehicle that could cross into the alternate dimension. However, the collision with Angel Island knocks the city's power out. Sonic and a reformed Shade team up to restore the power, and also retrieve a Dimensional Buffer to help Tails. The group leaves in the vehicle, dubbed the [[Cyclone]], while Eggman remains behind, saying that he must make sure that they can return. Once in the Twilight Cage, the Cyclone crash lands on a rocky planet, the Kron Colony, after being damaged during the inter-dimensional trip. Tails suggests that they can power the ship up with a [[Chaos Emerald]], and locates one on the colony. The team are confronted by the [[Kron]], giant rock creatures who believe them to be Nocturnus spies. The Kron are gifted weapon makers and were forced by Ix to create weapons and armor for his troops. The warehouse used by the Kron to produce these weapons is powered by a Chaos Emerald, and Sonic and team offer to liberate the colony from Ix's control. They manage to take the Emerald, and win the trust of the rock people, and travel onward. The Nocturnus home world of [[Nocturne]] is blocked off from the heroes by a force field, prompting them to visit the N'rrgal colony, the home of the slug-like, energy-leeching [[N'rrgal]] people. The N'rrgal suck all the energy from the Cyclone, but Tails discovers that another Chaos Emerald is located on the planet. The N'rrgal queen meets the team and tells them that the bitter rivals of the N'rrgal race, the [[Zoah]], are in possession of a powerful weapon, and that they cannot risk confronting them in battle. She offers their Chaos Emerald in return for the Zoah's weapon. Sonic and his team then head to the Zoah colony, where they must find and dispatch this "weapon." Upon talking to the Zoah leader, the team discovers that they are in allegiance to Ix, but only because he defeated their chief in single combat, and according to Zoah law, whoever defeats the leader can have any one favor from them, even the service of the entire race. Sonic challenges the leader to a battle, and frees the Zoah from their servitude. The leader gives them a Chaos Emerald, revealed to be the weapon given to them by Ix. The team realizes that Ix gave both the Zoah and N'rrgal Emeralds to keep the two races in check for his plans. Upon revealing this information to the leaders of the two races, they gain the trust of the Zoah and N'rrgal. Tails finds two more Emeralds in the Voxai Colonies. The [[Voxai]] are a race at peace, capable of mental domination. However, the Overmind, a group of three Voxai who rule the colonies, are truly loyal to Ix, and have taken control of the citizens, corrupting their minds. The team lands on [[Voxai Colony Beta]], and meets Thebes, a citizen who has escaped the control of the Overmind. He tells them of the source of the Overmind's power, the Chaos Emeralds, with which they were able to dominate the minds of all the people in the Voxai colonies. Thebes leads them to a teleporter to take them to [[Voxai Colony Alpha]], which is guarded by a psychic field to block out trespassers. Once there, they confront and defeat the Overmind. Thebes becomes the new Voxai leader, and gives them the two Chaos Emeralds given to them by Ix. With the last two emeralds on Nocturne, the team gathers the leaders of the Kron, N'rrgal, Zoah, and Voxai to the Kron Colony, where they all team up and come up with a plan to invade Nocturne. The united races, led by Sonic and his team, launch an assault on the Nocturnus home world. The Voxai find weaknesses in the force field around the planet, while the N'rrgal suck energy from it, and the Zoah launch a missile created by the Kron that can penetrate it. Sonic and his friends pass through the opening made by the united races, and encounter [[Prefect Charyb]] and [[Prefect Scylla]], two [[Gizoid (group)|Gizoids]] who wield the elements of water and fire, respectively, each with a Chaos Emerald. The group splits in two, Sonic and Tails leading one group and Knuckles and Shade leading the other. Knuckles is reluctant to kill Ix, believing that the Nocturnus can be saved, but promises not to let this belief interfere with the mission. The two teams lower the force field around Nocturne, allowing the forces from the other Twilight Cage races to enter. Sonic's team destroys Charyb, while Knuckles' team kills Scylla, each winning a Chaos Emerald. Knuckles' team confronts Ix in his throne room, while Sonic's team comes in from a balcony to witness the fight. Sonic at first believes that Knuckles is betraying them, but is proven wrong when he watches them fight. Knuckles wins the fight, followed by Sonic fighting Ix, causing Ix to run. Sonic's team then gets a second chance to fight him, and also emerges victorious while Knuckles retrieves the Master Emerald. Ix uses the Nocturne to achieve a Super Transformation. Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to become [[Super Sonic]] and defeats him. As Nocturne begins to fall, and is nearly destroyed, the team escapes in the Cyclone and heads back to earth. Once back in Metropolis, they find Eggman waiting for them with a rebuilt empire, who immediately attempts to shoot them down. Apparently, time moves much slower in the Twilight Cage and what seemed to be only a short while has actually been several years on earth, giving Eggman plenty of time time to rebuild his empire. The game ends with Sonic, Tails and Omega rambling about the makers of the game, and, as the team is about to confront the new Eggman Empire, the words "THE END?" appear on the screen, ending the game with a cliff hanger. {{Endspoiler}} ===Characters=== {|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" !Image !Character !Biography |- |[[File:Sonic 141.png|120px]] |[[Sonic the Hedgehog]] |''The world's fastest supersonic hedgehog sports an attitude and a sarcastic grin.
