Rouge had to swallow her pride. The curse had already proven itself to overcome her willpower and did significant damage to her figure. If left as it was, she'd soon reach the size of a sumo wrestler.
Despite the Master Emerald being incredibly tempting, Knuckles has made his point - some gems are simply not to be stolen and should be left alone. With that epiphany, the chubby bat girl decided to head back to Angel Island and ask him for forgiveness.
But before she could lift off the air, the feeling of hunger came back, the stomach wildly growling. Rouge had no other choice but to bring buckets full of fried chicken to munch on mid-flight.
Trying to raise the altitude proved to the troublesome. Rouge's breasts and belly sticking outwards required her to put more effort into flapping wings. Barely halfway through, the fluffy bat already felt tired, panting and wheezing.
Through sheer miracle, Rouge made it all the way up, faceplanting afterwards on a grass patch with her tongue sticking out. Even Knuckles easn't expecting her return.
"Gotta hand it to you, you are persistent." - Knuckles stepped out of the altar to greet the fattened up bat. - "Looks like someone's been snacking a lot lately!" - he grabbed the solid handful of her stomach fat, jiggling it violently with a smirk.
"Please, Knuckles. I'm sorry. I've learned my lesson. I don't want to be fat..." - Rouge pleaded, exhausted.
"Now, how do I know you are really sorry?" - Knuckles scrathed his chin, contemplating for a moment. - "...Look, you really don't seem like a bad person, I can see it in your eyes. But the Master Emerald must stay in place, otherwise the island will fall. I can't allow that to happen."
"I understand..." - Rouge sobbed.
"Oh, don't look at me with those eyes. Fine! I'll lift the curse!" - he exclaimed, irritated.
The echidna put his hand in front of Rouge's chest, then closed his eyes. A red light was siphoned from her body, which then crystalized in his hand back in a form of a ruby.
Rouge felt like a huge burden was lifted from her. Finally, the hunger disappeared. The calories however, did not. She sighed, looking at the extra chub covering her from head to feet, in realization of workout routines awaiting her to burn all this flab. Rouge was a fool to think all consequences would just go away. Still, she was grateful the needlemouse guy showed some mercy.
"Thank you, darling" - she smiled, fluttering her big ears.
"U-uh, yeah, whatever!" - Knuckles, fulfilling his role as a guardian, was leading a solitary life, so getting an attention from a girl was not something he was used to. Still, he brushed it off aside. - "Go on, get!" - he turned around and waved his hand.
