He succeeded in acquiring the gem and launching the colossal warship, though his victory was short-lived. Doctor Robotnik tried to steal the Master Emerald to use as a power source for the Death Egg. The green Chaos Emerald - better known as the Master Emerald - is the primary source of power for the Floating Island and serves to unify the energies of all the Chaos Emeralds. Now they were as large as the average Mobian. Before, they were small enough to be held in one hand.

Some time after the reintegration, the Chaos Emeralds had grown after they had returned to full power. The Control Emerald was then placed with the others back in the Emerald Chamber. With the Control Emerald, Knuckles stripped Robotnik of his powers and sent him back to Mobius. Robotnik did not keep this power for long as Knuckles then revealed what had become of the grey Chaos Emerald, long believed to be missing: Knuckles had it all along. He transformed into a powerful god-like being, and when Sonic and Tails arrived on the scene, he used the energy to turn Tails to glass. With the twelve once more returned to six, Robotnik tried to absorb the energy they released. The plan was successful and Robotnik and Knuckles returned the Emeralds to the Floating Island where they were reintegrated with the Emeralds already there. This was part of the doctor's plan: he would get close to the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic's possession, Knuckles would come to his rescue and he would threaten the lives of Sonic's friends in order for Sonic to give up the Emeralds. Robotnik was captured by Sonic and Tails and taken to their base in the Emerald Hill Zone. For a brief time, Knuckles served Robotnik as a bodyguard and fought against Sonic when he discovered Robotnik's whereabouts. Seeing a golden opportunity to acquire the Chaos Emeralds and defeat Sonic, Robotnik tricked Knuckles into believing that he was a kind, benevolent inventor and that Sonic was a villain who planned to steal the Chaos Emeralds from the island.

When Doctor Robotnik's Death Egg crash-landed on the Floating Island, he was found by Knuckles, who told him where he was and how the island stayed aloft. The Emeralds were then kept in the Freedom Fighters' secret base. When Sonic caught up to the pirates, they let him take them back.

Plunder and his crew took the Emeralds and suffered the consequences: they were turned into hippies when the Emeralds absorbed their evil essence. There they remained hidden until they were discovered by the sky pirate Captain Plunder. They were sent to the Frozen Zone and left within an icy cauldron, the low temperature keeping the power of the Emeralds stable. Sonic eventually managed to round the Emeralds up again and, with Porker Lewis' help, found a way to keep them contained without them becoming unstable and returning to the Special Zone. The Emeralds created a burst of energy as they vanished, which Sonic absorbed and was turned into Super Sonic for the first time. Sonic The Hedgehog began searching for them in hopes of restoring Kintobor to normal, but he never got his chance as the Emeralds warped back to the Special Zone after he had brought them together. When the ROCC exploded, the Emeralds were scattered and warped into the Special Zone. His project never reached fruition, of course, due to the accident which turned him into Doctor Robotnik. Kintobor used the Chaos Emeralds as part of his ROCC machine in order to rid Mobius of evil. At one point, the planetbound Chaos Emeralds were discovered in a hollow hill in the Emerald Hill Zone by Doctor Ovi Kintobor. The grey Chaos Emerald - the Control Emerald - remained with the island's then-guardian. How or why this occurred is unknown, but half of them fell to Mobius while the other half remained on the Floating Island, allowing it to remain airborne. Long ago, six of the Chaos Emeralds were split into twelve. When and how they allowed the landmass that would become the Floating Island to take to sky is unknown, but without the Emeralds' power, the island would plummet out of the sky. This discovery prompted the Echidnas to take swift and decisive action and they fought to retake the mines and stole the Chaos Emeralds. During their war with the Echidnas, the Drakons seized the Echidnas sacred Emerald Mines and found that the gems were capable of safely containing Chaos energy.

At the time, they had already discovered Chaos energy but were seeking ways to safely harness it and use it as a fuel source. The Chaos Emeralds were originally created by the Drakons over 8000 years ago.
