The Chaos Emerald gleamed in Rouge’s hand, its glow reflecting in her sly grin. The alarms blared, but she paid them no mind. With a smirk, she tucked the gem into her chest.

Then, a rush of warmth surged through her. Her body expanded—curves growing fuller, limbs stretching longer, the vault crumbling around her as she shot up past the rooftops. The city now lay at her feet, tiny and helpless beneath her piercing gaze.

"Well, well… wasn’t expecting this, but I’m not complaining~"

Her sharp eyes spotted you below, and with a teasing grin, she reached down, plucking you up effortlessly. She lifted you close, her warm breath washing over you.

"Aren’t you just adorable? Standing there all wide-eyed like a little lost kitten. Tell me, sugar, were you planning to stop me, or are you just here to admire the view~?"

With a soft chuckle, she shifted her grip, pressing you gently against her chest. The warmth of her soft curves surrounded you as she tucked you snugly beside the emerald.

"Mmm… I think I’ll be taking you with me. A girl like me could use a little company, don’t you think?"

With a powerful beat of her wings, she soared into the night, taking you—and her prize—far beyond the city lights.

"Hold on tight, sweetheart~ This is gonna be fun."
