Unknown Zone

The Unknown Zone is a special secret Zone in the multiverse, and the native reality of the zone-imps. It is presented as a strange and surreal realm where the normal laws of physics do not work, meaning for example that there is no gravity, or directions like up and down. However, zone-imps are able to manipulate this wayward reality at will, making them demigods there.

History[]

Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Tyranny[]

After grabbing a lot of Power Rings, Sonic was sent into the Unknown Zone for the first time, where he met the zone-imps Horizont-Al and Verti-Cal. After tumbling nearly-helplessly through the Unknown Zone for a while, forced to endure its zany properties, Sonic was eventually deposited from the Unknown Zone and landed back in the Great Forest. (StH: #2)

The Search for Ixis Naugus[]

Unfortunately, the Unknown Zone was one of the many areas affected by the Ultimate Annihilator. The Omega Wave broke the Zone down into its basic elements, though the Zone eventually re-evolved back to its original state. Unfortunately, the effects of the energy and their near destruction drastically changed Al and Cal, who became "machine gods" who blamed each other for the incident. As such, the Unknown Zone became a battleground as they fought each other for dominance. Sonic and his friend Tails were drawn into the conflict as well, with Al and Cal each taking one of them as a brainwashed champion. Fortunately, the two managed to overcome these effects, though Al and Cal continued to battle in the Unknown Zone. (StH: #59)

Geoffrey's Betrayal and the Death Egg's Return[]

After some time, the damage from Al and Cal's war spread beyond the Unknown Zone to other zones, forcing the Zone Cops to arrest Al and Cal and transport them to the Zone Jail. (SU: #29)
