Black Asteroid

The Black Asteroid was once the biggest gemstone mine on Mobius which somehow ended up in the Special Zone. All that’s left is the ancient tunnel shafts that litter the asteroid around a central platform. When Super Sonic was stuck in the Omni Viewer Chaotix decided to try and seal him away in the Black Asteroid and use a Gravitron Bomb to close of the entrance.

Unfortunately when Super Sonic realised what was going on he had no intention of waiting and instead he started to heat up his surroundings, when the Omni Viewer released him to escape the Black Asteroid became a sort of second sun, heated to millions of degrees, soon to explode. However the scientific group Equinox also discovered that when it exploded it would release an Electromagnetic Pulse, every computer system on the planet would be disabled, hospitals would shut down and aeroplanes would crash, the banking system would fail. Sonic came up with the idea of sending the Black Asteroid to Mobius where the Electromagnetic Pulse would destroy Robotnik’s Empire. The Omni Viewer complied, sent the Black Asteroid to Mobius where it exploded harmlessly, releasing Super Sonic and an Electromagnetic Pulse onto Robotnik.
