Chaos Energy

From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki

Chaos Energy (or just Chaos but not to be confused with The God of Destruction) is the energy that makes the Chaos Emeralds so powerful. Each Chaos Emerald generate this energy, but all of them can be used to do Chaos Control as well as various other abilities as well as use as a power source. This power can be controlled by the Master Emerald, if requested or commanded by its guardian. There are other sources of Chaos Energy, such as Chaos Drives, though it is uncertain if Drives are a crystallized form of the Chaos Emerald energy, or an alternate source.

The Chaos Emeralds, especially the Master Emerald, have been used before to charge super forms or Eggman's weapons of destruction on many occasions (e.g. Sonic the Hedgehog 3, where Robotnik steals the Master Emerald to charge the Death Egg). The energy coming from the Master Emerald is mostly used to prevent Angel Island from falling into the ocean.

[edit] Sonic Adventure

In Sonic Adventure, the original guardian of the Master Emerald is revealed to be Chaos, who also protected the Chao that lived in peace at the altar. Dr. Eggman also stated that Chaos is concentrated chaos energy in liquid form

Tikal, the daughter of the Echidna tribe's chief, knows prayer for the Master Emerald that her grandmother taught her:

The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller serves to unify the chaos.

The controller could be the Master Emerald, or the guardian that controls the emeralds to control it, though it is not clear.

In the "?" story, Chaos absorbs the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds to become Perfect Chaos. Sonic uses the remaining positive energy to transform into Super Sonic. This shows that they have an Electromotive force but can still be of use if the positive or negative energy is absent, such as Super Sonic needing only the Positive energy or Perfect Chaos relying on negative energy. The absent of the Negative energy has made the emeralds colourless.

[edit] Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow was awakened by the power of a Chaos Emerald and demonstrates harnessing the power of Chaos Emeralds for such powers like Chaos Control, and later stocking the Eclipse Cannon with the Emeralds for another doomsday plot.

Shadow shows that Chaos Energy can be harnessed for other means other than Super Transformation such as Chaos-based attacks like Chaos Control , Chaos Blast,& Chaos Spear and also to unlock memories.

[edit] Sonic Unleashed

Eggman managed to trap Super Sonic in a machine that drained him and the emeralds of their energy in order to break the Earth into pieces. Since it was primarily negative energy that Eggman used, Sonic's intense exposure to it is what acted like an enhancer to attract Dark Gaia's power that long distance through the space station walls to allow some of Dark Gaia's energy to escape to Sonic, which caused his lycanthrope. Sonic must restore the emeralds power and color using the Gaia Temples. At the end of the temple, a stand pops up. If the emerald is placed in it, the power is restored, as well as the piece of the world.

[edit] Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Chaos Energy is what powers the Cyclone and helps Ix the Echidna transform into Super Ix. The Cyclone used both elements of Chaos Energy and Ix used negative energy. It was also used to power the Kron factory and to forcibly control the entire Voxai race. Most of Shadow's techniques use Chaos Energy.

[edit] Sonic the Comic

In the continuity of UK's Sonic the Comic, Chaos Energy (also known as Chaos Emerald Radiation) was created by the alien Drakon Empire as an incredibly powerful, yet highly unstable, power source. In their search for vessels for this power, they discovered the emeralds from the sacred mine of the Echidnas on Mobius, and created the seven Chaos Emeralds - six to contain the power and a seventh, the Grey Emerald, to control the others. A fierce war was fought between the Drakons and the Echidnas over these Emeralds and the power they contained, which the Echidnas eventually won (although with heavy losses).

When brought together outside of certain stabilising conditions (such as extreme cold, the presence of Golden Rings, or in the temple on the Floating Island), the Chaos Emeralds would generate and radiate energy, building to a chain reaction. In some circumstances, this would cause a spatial warp that teleported the Emeralds into the other-dimensional Special Zone.

Chaos Energy in this continuity was shown to be capable of the following feats:

  • Absorbing nearly all of the evil from planet Mobius, while in the Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor;
  • Transforming the kindly Doctor Ovi Kintobor into Doctor Ivo Robotnik;
  • Turning Sonic into the demonic Super Sonic;
  • Powering a massive energy weapon on the Floating Island, capable of destroying the Death Egg;
  • Powering an impenetrable forcefield around the whole of the Floating Island, apparently indefinitely;
  • Granting Doctor Robotnik godlike omnipotence; and
  • Transforming a Drakon prosecutor into the terrifying monster Chaos.

[edit] Trivia

  • When the positive or negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds are absent, they will become colorless (black or gray). Emotions can restore the Chaos Emeralds, as well as the seven Gaia Temples.
  • Chaos Energy could be comparable to the Force in Star Wars, due to its good and bad side.
  • In the Archie comics, Chaos energy was present but was instead refered to as the Chaos Force.
  • Tails copied the Chaos Energy in a fake Emerald which Sonic used to access Chaos Control.
