Crystal Cave (Archie)


 * You maybe looking for the Crystal Cave stage in Sonic and the Black Knight.

Crystal Cave is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-off comic series published by Archie Comics. Located deep within a mountain, this massive geode was originally a victim of being excavated, solely to gather the purple Chaos Emerald hidden deep inside.

History
Sometime before Sonic's World broke apart, Dr. Eggman sent badniks to excavate the cave to search for the purple Chaos Emerald hidden deep inside. Later, during the Shattered World Crisis, Miles "Tails" Prower, Sally Acorn, Antoine D'Coolette, and NICOLE the Holo-Lynx sneaked inside the tunnel, deactivating all of the badniks inside, to find the Chaos Emerald. To their surprise, a giant, purple geode was the dead-end of the tunnel excavation. As Tails and NICOLE search and found the Chaos Emerald, Sally and Antoine were in awe by the beauty of the cave. Realizing that Eggman will tear through the cave in search for the Emerald, only to find that it isn't there, Sally decides to let Eggman know they were at the cave to preserve the geode. And thus, the three Freedom Fighters fought against all of the badniks, and openly showed themselves on Eggman's cameras in the cave. However, an E-1000 activated and began delaying the Freedom Fighters' mission. Luckily, Sally was able to destroy the machine, and the heroes left the scene, with all of the badniks destroyed and the Crystal Cave protected from any harm.
