Drakons and the power of the Emeralds

The Drakon leaders seek the Chaos Emeralds, and Grimer's plans on the Floating Island help bring their ambitions within reach. Robotnik then seizes the Emeralds' energy and becomes powerful enough to alter reality around Sonic. Order & Chaos, Robotnik Reigns Supreme and Showdown form a sequence about control of the comic's most important source of power, with the struggle extending beyond the island and across Mobius itself.
