Gothic Gardens

Gothic Gardens is the fifth level in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice. An evergreen land of castles and gardens, this island is defined by its gothic buildings and unsettling outdoors. Due to Dr. Eggman, the island's environment was messed up by the by-products from the doctor's mining operations on Ragna Rock. This pollution was brought to an end by Team Sonic.

Story
While mining on Ragna Rock, Eggman would pipe the messy by-products from his operation off to Gothic Gardens This lead to the creation of fissures emitting Fire and Ice energies, which would mess up the island's environment.

During their hunt for D-Fekt to determine the source of the fissures, Team Sonic arrived in Gothic Gardens, where they finally caught the robot. While Sticks reluctantly held D-Fekt in place, Tails got a sample from him that confirmed his theory that D-Fekt had been in contact with the Ragnium Eggman was using for his EggBot racers. No sooner however, the group discovered that Sticks had let D-Fekt go.

Planning to follow D-Fekt to the source of the Ragnium, Team Sonic located the robot again and had Sticks, the only one among them whom D-Fekt remotely liked, put a tracker on D-Fekt (by convincing him that it was a friendship bracelet) so the team could track his whereabouts.
