The portal however damages the ship as it enters, forcing them to crash land on a different chunk of land. One like a rocky canyon. The Kron colony! 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 but no more will they bow to his will! The Krons attack, much to Shade's surprise but the team are victorious.

The kron then after learning that Sonic and his friends were there for a chaos emerald to help power and fix up their ship, they tell them that the emerald is in the factory, where the rest of their people are kept as slaves and that Sonic should meet the chief of their people to plan how to get in past the factory's shields.
