Warp Belt

The Warp Belt is an equipment that appeared in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. It was invented and used by the Nocturnus Clan and was the technological breakthrough that allowed the echidnas of Nocturne to briefly escape from the Twilight Cage and return to Earth to prepare for their permanent return.

History
After the Nocturnus Clan was trapped in the Twilight Cage, the clan and its leader, Imperator Pir'Oth Ix, sought for a way escape the Twilight Cage and return to their own dimension. Eventually, the Nocturnus Clan, using their advanced technology, managed to develope the warp belts. Unfortunately, the warp belts only allowed a temporary return to Earth, and the only way the Nocturnus Clan could truly cross back into their home dimension was to open a wormhole inside the Twilight Cage, back to their home dimension.

The Nocturnus Clan eventually figured that they could use the Master Emerald to open the wormhole they needed, but to do that they need the Master Emerald which was still back in their home dimension. With the warp belts, however, Pir'Oth Ix and the Nocturnus Clan could now return to their home dimension and use their limited time back on Earth to steal the Master Emerald and allow the Nocturnus Clan to permanently return back home, thus setting the events of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood in motion.

Description
When used, the warp belt creates a bubble of space that are similar to the unique space in the Twilight Cage around the wearer. Within that bubble, the wearer can cross dimensions, back to Earth, and it would be as if the wearer never left the Twilight Cage, once they return. The effects of the warp belt, however, are not perfect and the bubble of Twilight space will eventually wear off, thus forcing the wearer back into the Twilight Cage.

Storywise and in gamplay, the warp belts is what causes the members of the Nocturnus Clan to teleport away once they are defeated in battle.
