Key to Babylon Garden

The Key to Babylon Garden is an ancient artifact, resembling a transparent cube with ancient symbols and markings on, that appears in Sonic Riders. Originating from the Babylonians or possibly their early descendants, this ancient relic has been passed down from generation to generation of Babylon Rogues since ancient times. Its purpose is to reveal the fabled Babylon Garden, the home of the Babylonians, from its hiding place and as well control the inner locks of this sanctum. Only the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, however, can activate it.

History
The true reason for the creation of the Key to Babylon Garden remains unclear. The Key to Babylon Garden's purpose was to reveal the location of Babylon Garden, reactivate it and bring it back into the sky where it belonged, when it fell down from the sky in the forgotten past, and as unlocking the many sealed doors that lied within this location. However, in order for it to be activated, it required the power from the seven Chaos Emeralds, a fact that was apparently forgotten or left out by the Babylonians and/or their decendants.

The Key to Babylon Garden was one of the few things that remained in the possession of the descendants of the Babylonians, following the Babylonian's descendants scattering across the globe and having most of their history and knowledge about their ancenstors forgotten over time. Eventually, the Key to Babylon Garden came into the possession of the possibly last group of Babylonians, the Babylon Rogues, an band of babylonian thieves, who passed it on from one generation of Babylon Rogues to the next. The stories about the Key to Babylon Garden being able to reveal and open up for Babylon Garden, however, endured the test of time, as the Babylon Rouges continued to believe that their thieving ancestors had hidden valuable treasues inside Babylon Garden.

In Sonic Riders, the Key to babylon Garden had been passed on to Jet the Hawk, the newest leader of the Babylon Rogues, by Jet's Father, but he had no idea how it could be used.
