Then they enter the base and see Knuckles breaking out of his cell and punching his way through Marauders and guards (The Marauders have tech that lets them teleport away after being defeated.) https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/7/7a/Marauder-scout-sonic-chronicles.png/revision/latest?cb=20130111000050

Then as the group defeat the remaining enemies, Sonic suggests that the team go and look for the Marauders to beat them back but Knuckles says no. If they're after the emeralds, then they'll also be after the Master Emerald on Angel island. And since Knuckles is its guardian, he needs to go back there and defend it. But when they leave the base, they see that Angel island has disappeared!!! OAO
