Following the instructions of the ancient tablets, Eggman plans to use the chants to release the beast within the Master Emerald.
Resting on the shrine of the Master Emerald is Knuckles who is thinking over his duty to guard the Master Emerald, he is disturbed by a shattering Chaos next to the shattered Master Emerald. Unaware that this is Eggman's doing, Knuckles assumes that Chaos is behind the shattering of the Emerald and goes on to attack it.
