Babylon Garden (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Babylon Garden is a location in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the mainline Sonic the Hedgehog series. Originally a spaceship used by the ancient Babylonians, Babylon Garden became the ancestral home of the Babylon Rogues after the Babylonians got marooned on Mobius. However, its inhabitants eventually lost the entire island, accordingly as punishment from the Gods for their crimes.
Babylon Garden was rediscovered generations later by the latest Babylon Rogues, and their subsequent adventures brought it back into space.
==Description==
===Architecture===
Babylon Garden's substructure consists of the Babylonians' interstellar spaceship, Astral Babylon, which has a beautiful, yet alien design. It has an elegant fundament with pillars supporting an upper flat layer, and in the center lies a purple core enveloped by an intertwining structure. Surrounding the upper section are smaller towers with purple bottoms, which are connected by small bridges. Due to having Astral Babylon in its center, Babylon Garden's inner sanctums are highly technological.
After being reconstructed, Babylon Garden came to resemble an island. The entirety of Astral Babylon was obscured by a rock fundament, though it would have some cracks that revealed an artificial shell. On the top lay a lavishly decorated city of mosaic plazas, Byzantine domes and buildings, and winding roads for Extreme Gear traffic. Surrounding Babylon Garden was a fractured ring of tall arch bridges connected to the main structure by bridges at each of its cardinal points. These points also held scaled-down versions of the main structure. Additionally, lawns, trimmed hedges, trees, and giant hanging plants grew all over the island.
When the five Arks of the Cosmos were brought back to Babylon Garden, the island's superstructure was stripped down to its original incarnation.
===Defenses and workings===
Though ancient, Babylon Garden possesses a couple of technological defenses against unwanted intruders, all of which have remained functional even after being buried for ages. Silver-and-cyan fighter drones patrol the skies and its most secure area is safeguarded by the Babylon Guardian, the guardian God of Babylon.
Babylon Garden can be operated with the Key to Babylon Garden. This key can also summon the garden for its wielder (provided it is powered by the seven Chaos Emeralds). Additionally, the resonance from all five Arks of the Cosmos can call Babylon Garden to their location.
==History==
===Past===
The exact origins of Babylon Garden are unknown. Originally a spaceship, Babylon Garden was used by the ancient Babylonians for their interstellar travels. The vessel's warp drive was powered by the Ark of the Cosmos, devices that harnessed the power of gravity. When the ship arrived at earth in the ancient past, however, Babylon Garden experienced a malfunction due to the Babylonians' inability to control the Arks of the Cosmos, leaving the ship's engine at the verge of creating a black hole―a "lightless black"―that would consume everything. The Arks of the Cosmos were thus jettisoned into Mobius' orbit by the Babylonians to prevent this catastrophe, making Babylon Garden crash land on Mobius.
With the Babylonians marooned and crippled, the now-inoperable Babylon Garden was turned into a floating home for the Babylonians on Mobius, who constructed an island-like shell, with a city on top, around it. The Babylonians thus waited for the Arks of the Cosmos to resurface, so they could relaunch Babylon Garden safely and go back home. During ancient times, Babylon Garden would also become known as the "divine wings" (神の翼 Kami no tsubasa?)―a legendary bird that the gods rode through the heavens. When the Babylonians created the Magic Carpet, the very first form of Extreme Gear, they hid it inside Babylon Garden to be protected by the Babylon Guardian. This would become known as Treasure of Babylon, which vague legends would describe as an invaluable treasure left behind by its creators.
According to legend, the Babylonians, who had become a society of thieves, eventually incurred the wrath of the Gods because of their crimes. As punishment, Babylon Garden was "cast into the depths of the earth," leaving it buried deep beneath Sand Ruins. Though the stories of the treasure within Babylon Garden endured the test of time, the scattered Babylonians' descendants would forget the truth about the treasure and come to regard Babylon Garden as only a fable.
==Trivia==
*Even though it is called garden, Babylon Garden hardly has any plants of any kind.
*Babylon Garden, like the Hanging Gardens of Mobius, is based on the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, a real-life location that existed is Mesoptamia, which was situated in modern day Iraq.
