The **Time Stones**[1] (タイムストーン[2] *Taimusutōn*?) are objects that appear in *Sonic the Hedgehog CD* and veracious other games. They are seven gemstones that lie dormant on the Little Planet and have the power to control time. The history these stones is to say to have cause a massive war that nearly destroy the world and their source of origin and mythical connection is surrounded in mystery.

Unlike their Chaos Emerald counterparts, the Time Stones are not widely known outside of center archaeologist groups and historians. Rumors spread about the stones' true power, but none has been able to gain knowledge of the stone's true power. Not even Professor Miles Prower and Dr. Eggman, were unable to understand the legend around the Time Stones. Because of their limited present throughout history, some wrote it off as nothing more than a mere legend or an artificial lost to time itself.

The Time Stones are rarely shown to be used outside of Melody and Metal Melody who uses them to either save the world or control it. But despite Melody being their protector in a sense, she is unable to use the Time Stones for anything major outside of controlling time and space whereas Metal Melody is able to use them as a power source.

After Manik the Hedgehog CD, the Time Stones have never appear again in favor of the Chaos Emeralds. At the time, Melody already had a super form via the Chaos Emeralds so she saw no need for them. They reappear in Melody Heroes and became the source for Melody and Metal Melody to unlock their super form.

## Background

The Time Stones origin is surrounded in mystery where nobody know where they truly come from. Some say they created at the beginning of time, others say the Time Stones were created due to a time rift. Once upon a time there was a Master Time Stone went largely, this stone went undiscovered until one day someone discover the legendary stone and was said to have turn a dessert into a garden by traveling 70 years into the future and reactivated an ancient volcano by traveling a hundred years into the past.

The man used it's powers to control time and make life easier for everyone, but it was rumored that the gods did not like that time was moving too fast or too slow and decided to shattered the Master Time Stone until Seven separate stones, each with their own unique abilities and entrusted the man to used their powers widely. The man is said to have form the Saga of Time, a group of people who watches over the legendary time stones so they do not befall into the hands of those who wishes to cause mass destruction.

For Centuries the stones were kept within the Temple of Time only to be use by the sagas. One day, one of their own stole the seven time stones and wishes to use their power to cleanse the world of all evil. Due to this greed, many people were erase by the stones' powers causing the guardians and the rogue saga to get into an enteral conflict. After hundreds of years of fighting of a never-ending world, the gods decided to wipe the world clean for time being abuse and remove the time stones from off the planet's surface, never to be seen or used by anyone who they deem unworthy.

Hundreds of Years have past, the world has recovered from the hundred year long war. Within that time frame, the Saga of Time as well as the Time Stones as ultimately fade into legends with many assuming the whole thing was nothing more than a story, while others say the legend did happen and the time stones, as well as the people who guarded them, are still out there somewhere. But, none of been able to find them or any links to them.
