The Freedom Fighters discovered a Lake of Rings in the Chao Garden adjacent to Meropis' Eusebes Shrine, and were able to gather a number of Power Rings to power their Sky Patrol mobile base. Another Lake of Rings was also found on Isolated Island, and went mysteriously dormant during the Shattered World Crisis. Curiously, under the influence of a Chaos Emerald, it produced a strange new object known as the Red Star Ring.
