The Emerald Hill Zone is a location that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a peaceful and serene greenland Zone found on South Island and one of the major locales on Mobius. It is the home to a variety of Mobians, Sonic the Hedgehog and the Freedom Fighters and is a frequent target of Dr. Robotnik.

Description[]

The Emerald Hill Zone is quite picturesque, dominated by lush, green fields, sparkling lakes and falls and home to a friendly and peaceful community. Palm trees are a common flora in this Zone. Similarly, the stone loop-formations that are found across Mobius are found in abundance here. Even some non-Mobians have heard stories about the Emerald Hill Zone's beauty, spurring wild tales that the fields are paved with real emeralds.[2] The villagers that live here are known as the Emerald Hill Folk.

History[]

Past[]

Working from an underground laboratory beneath the Emerald Hill Zone, Dr. Ovi Kintobor conducted his research in peace to rid planet Mobius of all evil using his Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor to absorb all the negative energy from the planet. After Kintobor's tragic transformation into Dr. Ivo Robotnik, his lab was abandoned. It was soon restored by Sonic the Hedgehog and Porker Lewis and became his allies' base of operations during Robotnik's attempts to conquer the world.[3][4][5][6]

Later, the Emerald Hill Zone became the first Zone Sonic and his newest sidekick Tails visited in order to destroy Robotnik's Death Egg.[7]

Ruled by Robotnik[]

Eventually, Robotnik got a victory over Sonic by sending him six months into the future and in that time, he conquered the Emerald Hill Zone and turned it into a labor camp. Upon Sonic's return though, he and his allies liberated the Emerald Hill Zone, returning it to its more friendly self.[3][8] Sonic and his fellow rebels, the Freedom Fighters remained in the Zone for another year, hiding in Kintobor's laboratory until Robotnik learned of its whereabouts and destroyed it.[9][10][11]

After the Death Egg II crisis had been averted, Robotnik became fixated on wiping out the Emerald Hill Zone as revenge. With this in mind, the Freedom Fighters struck a deal with Knuckles the Echidna to relocate the zone's population to the Floating Island. The island was lowered to Mobius's surface and the Emerald Hill folk travelled by boat to the island's Mushroom Hill Zone.[12] They remained in hiding there for some time, leaving their home zone empty (with the exception of Tekno the Canary's secret laboratory).[13][14] Robotnik and Grimer learned of this exodus soon after and decided to concentrate some of his efforts on other Zones.[14] Some time later, a dragon was found living underneath the Zone, having hibernating for hundreds of years until it was awoken prematurely by the Freedom Fighters and left.[13][15]

Post-Ruled by Robotnik[]

When Dr. Robotnik was deposed, the Emerald Hill Zone was repopulated by its former occupants. Rebuilding was minimal since Robotnik had left the zone alone after its inhabitants had fled to the Floating Island.[16][17] When Emerald Hill was repopulated, the Freedom Fighters built themselves a new base there, this time in the village for all to see, since their services were still required since Robotnik was still at large.[18]

The Drakon Empire chose the Zone as the area to begin an attack on Sonic the Hedgehog, a costly mistake as Sonic used the area's structures to his advantage.[19][20]

Upon assuming godhood with the power of the Chaos Emeralds, Dr. Ivo Robotnik re-wrote history without Sonic, allowing him to conquer Mobius. During his rule, the Emerald Hill Zone was heavily polluted and turned into a dark wasteland.[21] In the present of this timeline, Sonic found himself in the Emerald Hill Zone, where he met Amy and Johnny Lightfoot, both of whom without knowledge of him. Later, after a failed attempt by Oscar the Pig and his Death Squad to interrogate Sonic, Dr. Robotnik appeared on the scene, telling Sonic what was going on. As a furious Sonic was about to attack him, the doctor was able to fast-forward time, sending them to a version of Mobius from sixty-five years in the future. Afterward, Robotnik sent Sonic and himself back to the present, where he tried to make the hedgehog surrender.[22] Refusing defeat, Sonic was soon forced to fight Metallix, Megatox, Plasma, Arnem Abacus, Commander Brutus, and Metamorphia. After managing to knock Brutus into Plasma's body, a chain-reaction was triggered, electrocuting all the villains Robotnik summoned. Soon after, Robotnik sent Sonic to the Special Zone.[23] After Robotnik lost his powers, Emerald Hill Zone was returned to normal.[24]
