Like Sonic Chronicles, I find Sonic Battles legitimacy just as wooly as it is with canon so we can't take it's content as part of Sonic's lore.

But do you really think GUN would just let some nutcase leave Earth towards ARK and let them wonder about without their awareness? Even if that nutcase was able to reroute all ARK power towards the cannon or have solar arrays across the ARKs interior, it may not be enough. It can perhaps be said that Sonic Unleashed showed the full, or close to maximum, potential of each of the Chaos Emeralds. Using Super Sonic as a conduit to charge his weapon for breaking the world into piece.

Think about it, these seven rocks broke the world into pieces and released an eldritch horror on whats left of Sonic's world.

The chaos emeralds effectively drained, Sonic took each of the seven emeralds to the Gaia Temple. Not only are the temples able to restore the power of the Chaos Emeralds but also restore the world piece by piece.
