  "writing": "With a chipper beep, Emerl woke up in the middle of the beach. His glassy blue eyes stared up at the clouds in the sky as he took in what just happened. “It worked. This is awesome!” It seemed his sleep experiment was a success. Not only could he copy techniques from people he knew, but also bodily functions like sleeping. Real sleeping too! With dreams and everything.\n\nWith great speed, the fighting robot skated into Tails’ house. The fox could only turn his head as he saw Emerl enter suddenly.\n\n“Tails! I did it!”\n\n“Wait? Really?! That’s great, Emerl!”\n\n“You bet it is!” Emerl put his hands on his hips confidently. Brimming with pride about his newest achievement. “Now if only Sonic was here...” Right as he finished saying that, a blue blur entered the room. Perfect timing.\n\nSonic waved to Tails as he settled down on his couch. Well, sort of his couch, and sort of Tails’. His living situation was always up in the air. “Hey! How’s it hanging, you two?” Sonic stretched his legs. Limbering up, making himself as comfortable as he could.\n\nEmerl stared him down. His attention was captured by just the person he was waiting for. “Great! But you know, it’d be a lot better if we could get a battle going.” He pumped his fist. Already anticipating Sonic’s certain acceptance-\n\n“Nah. Not now,” Sonic popped a chili dog in his mouth. “It’s been a long day. Dealing with Egghead, seeing new places, a lotta stuff. I’m thinking that I’m just gonna lay down for a while.”\n\nEmerl was perplexed. He tilted his head to the side. “Not now? But I’ve been waiting all day. I’ve even learned a new technique. Sort of…” Thinking about it, sleeping wasn’t the most efficient combat strategy. Still, he wasn’t getting rusty anytime soon.\n\nLess than moved by the robot’s plea, Sonic munched on his chili dog. Gulping it down entirely with his next go at it. “If you wanna learn something so bad, go ask Tails.” The fox shook his head.\n\n“Sorry, Emerl. I’m working on something too. I want to find a way to better fortify my lab.” Emerl crossed his arms. Tapping his foot impatiently as he mulled over what he would do now. If Sonic wasn’t up for a fight, he could try asking someone else. But going all the way out to one of their places just to request a fight would be rather rude. He sat down in front of Sonic. Looking up at him.\n\n“Uh… What are you doing?” Sonic asked. Emerl chuckled, watching him intently.\n\n“Simple. If you won’t show me any fighting moves, then I’ll just learn whatever else I can from you. Branching out sometimes ain’t bad!” Emerl was feeling rather good about his new game plan. Sonic meanwhile was at a loss for words. It seemed there would be no point in trying to discourage Emerl. He had long since grown past mindlessly taking orders. So he’d just let him do whatever he wanted. Weird as it was.\n\nIdeas were forming in the robot’s head. He could copy anything. He already proved to himself that he could learn skills vital for organic lifeforms. So what would learning a few more be but a fun little game to play? Indeed, it was a great plan.\n\n——\n\nThe impromptu, and frankly unplanned lessons were going well for Emerl, who had learned a lot in just a matter of days. Breathing, stretching bolted joints, and other mundane things came naturally to him. It turned out that non combat applicable abilities could still be quite nice to have. But there was still one thing that he needed to try and master.\n\nHe managed to master taking in air despite his face being totally closed off, but that was simple compared to what he wanted to tackle next. Day after day, he saw Sonic snacking on chili dogs or soda, and he wanted in. The constant talk of how good everything tasted was like a big tease to him. He had no need for food, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want some every now and then.\n\nSo now here he was. Staring down an apple which he held up in front of himself. “Ok. Deep breaths.” He just had to visualize eating the apple. He could morph his body into weapons, mimic natural flight, use Chaos Control, anything he put his mind to. This was nothing. But that was where the problem lied. Maybe he could make himself a mouth, but that’d be weird and gross. He’d just have to ingest it some other way.\n\nImagination was a skill in and of itself. Keeping that in mind, Emerl focused on his hand. Visualizing the apple disappearing from it and into his body. A crunch was heard. Followed by a few more before nothing. The apple was gone, eaten by Emerl. He pumped his fist. Sonic would have to be impressed by this development.\n\nNow that the final skill he wanted to learn was mastered by him, Emerl knew just what to do. Eat way more stuff. But that would require making it himself, which was another thing entirely. He didn’t exactly know any chefs. Or did he? With only one way to find out, he found himself at Amy Rose’s apartment. He knocked on the door. Without skipping a beat, the pink hedgehog living there opened it up for him.\n\n“Oh my gosh, Emerl! How have you been doing? Why don’t you come inside so we can talk all about your day.” \n\nEmerl was pulled into the house without a second to think about it. Now that he was in Amy’s room, he knew he’d have to make things brief. If given the chance, his self proclaimed mother would likely ramble for quite a while.\n\n“Hi, Amy. I wanted to know if you know how to cook. And if you could teach me. Please.” He asked politely.\n\n“Cooking? Yeah, I’ve done a bit of that. What kind of loving caregiver would I be if I didn’t know how to whip up a nice meal?”\n\n“So you’ll teach me! Alright, let’s get to work!”\n\nThe next few hours were messy to say the least. Amy had tasked Emerl with helping her make a batch of cookies. At first, things went smoothly. Just setting up the table and washing the dishes was easy. Relaxing too. But once mixers and other tools came out, it became a tad messy. Literally. Once all of the cookies were done, both Emerl and Amy had cookie dough all over them. At least it tasted good.\n\n“Well then,” Amy said, dusting off her gloves. “Looks like that went well. And while you were busy, I invited over a guest to help taste test.” Right on cue, a knock was heard at the door, and soon after Cream entered the kitchen. \n\n“Hi, Emerl! Amy told me you were helping her with something, so I wanted to help out too.” The sweet little rabbit said with an infectious positivity. One thing was for sure. He wasn’t dealing with too much of a critic. \n\nThe three of them ate the cookies. Making sure to get milk to dip them in for the added enjoyment. Each bite was new and special to Emerl. He wouldn’t have guessed that sweets were this good. Once they were all gone, he felt something. A growing warmth in his stomach ready to erupt.\n\n“BoOOoUUuURRrrRRP!!”\n\nAmy and Cream looked at him with startled expressions. Emerl felt rather sheepish in the moment. What a way to discover that not only could he eat, but that he could also release gas. He could only mutter a small “Excuse me.” under his breath. To his surprise, the two merely laughed. Clearly amused by his predicament.\n\n“Wow, Emerl, I’m amazed. You just keep on learning new things!” Cream said. If it were anyone else, he’d think they were making fun of him. But with how genuine the rabbit was, he saw no reason not to just take the compliment. Rubbing his head abashedly, he shook off his nervousness. Deciding to focus on the new skill he learned. Maybe this could help in a battle someday. [i]Definitely an option to consider in a pinch,[/i] he thought.\n\nWith that, Emerl spent the rest of the night trying out new recipes with Amy and Cream. It was enjoyable to say the least. He was having fun just relaxing like Sonic did for once. He’d definitely have to try more chocolatey snacks.\n\n——\n\nAfter his first taste of sweets, Emerl became determined to try out all sorts of flavors. They were varied, but if they were as good as cookies, it would be no problem. Luckily, he had friends to help him along. Tails shared his mint candy with him, Knuckles helped him scavenge tangy fruits, and Shadow showed him the best way to eat coffee beans.\n\nIn his pursuit of new flavors, cooking had become a hobby of his. Each meal Tails, Amy, or Shadow helped him make was better than the last. New taste sensations lit up his mind. Making him chirp at each meal. Something about processing food, tasting it all the while, and converting it into energy for his mechanical body just felt right. It was proof that he was alive in ways other robots were not, he supposed.\n\nHe was having so much fun cooking and eating that he forgot all about wanting to fight all the time. The energy he usually spent traveling all across the land looking for someone to “play” with and learn new moves from was entirely dedicated to honing his craft. His gluttony had rather unexpected consequences which were in full effect. Emerl got chubby, fat even.\n\nThe thick armor surrounding his body became strained with what could only be described as flab. Pushed to expand by his burgeoning body, softened up by weeks of nonstop spoiling from his friends. It seemed that not only could Emerl eat. He could also convert all the excess energy he had into fat without even thinking about it. Between his tree trunk thighs, which rubbed closer together than ever before, and his huge olive-brown gut that jutted out from below his chest plate (which was starting to look like a crop top), he was positively massive.\n\nOf course, Emerl himself had no idea what was happening. The only fat person he had seen was Dr. Eggman. And it wasn’t like he would instruct him on how to manage his weight. It didn’t seem like he was undergoing anything harmful though. So he pushed aside whatever worries he had in order to keep eating. After all, there was still one thing he was building up to eating all this time. Sonic’s favorite food.\n\nIn his private time, Emerl had read up on how to make the perfect chili dog. He had all the ingredients in hand. Dogs, meat, spices, cheese, onions, all the necessities. Now to just put them all together. He laid down two hot dogs on a plate, placing cheese on both of them. Then, he morphed his hand into a blowtorch. The makeshift modifications served him well, searing the dogs to perfection and making the cheese on top of them melt to cover them in it.\n\nNext was the chili. Placing a tube of ground beef into a pan, he cooked it as well. Reducing the meat to brown chunks. Once they were cooked and separated, he poured tomato sauce onto them. Using his blowtorch hand to make it boil. He added in spices as he did so to let all the flavor settle in. After that, he diced some onions without crying, and voila, he had everything.\n\nHe placed the chili and onions on the already cooked hot dogs. Completing his appetizing chili dogs. If he could salivate, he would have at the mere sight of them. Emerl happily carried his plate over to the living room. Plopping his fat robo butt onto the couch. He kicked his feet up. Using his belly as a table while the real thing served as a footrest.\n\n“I’ve waited too long for this moment.”\n\nEmerl placed a chili dog in front of his mouth plate. Effortlessly consuming it with a few bites. His insides began to creak as more blubber was added to his frame. It was a little unnerving. But also exciting. Like jumping out of a plane to skydive. He was pushing himself to reach limits he didn’t even know he had. Undeterred by his groaning stomach, Emerl popped the second chili dog into his mouth. Moaning with satisfaction as he ate it whole. Once it was gone, he rested his arms on the couch’s top. He looked down at the empty plate sitting on his large tummy. He felt warm in a good way.\n\nWell, nobody’s around. I might as well enjoy this. Without another second of consideration, Emerl placed sausage fingers on his stomach. Pressing down on it and letting out a “HWOOOOORRRRRRP!” His belches were always so loud and unrestrained. There was still a ton of gas inside him, however. Out next came a “FHWWWWRRRRRT!” Which shook the couch cushions. Emerl sighed with relief and some other warm fuzzy feeling which made him feel the need to cool off.\n\nWiggling his fingers, he picked up a liter of Chaos Soda, strategically placed within arm’s reach for days like this. One hand poured the soda into his mouth. The other rubbed his bubbling stomach as the soda entered it. Once the entire liter was gone, Emerl tossed it aside. Giving full attention to the giant ball of gas he had nurtured. He played with it. Patting it, slapping it, rubbing it, doing all he could to relieve himself of the gas buildup within him.\n\nEmerl never guessed having so much mass would be so pleasurable. But here he was, messing with hundreds of pounds of metallic flab. Burping and farting without a care in the slightest. At the rate he was growing, a new couch would soon be in order. That fact egged him on further. His titanic size was a threat to behold, and he took pride in it.\n\nEventually, Emerl felt ready for a nap. He had stuffed himself like a hog, and he needed time to recover before next time. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Sonic entered the room. The blue hedgehog looked curious as he was worried about whatever he just walked in on. Emerl’s stomach let out another growl. Which only added to the growing awkwardness.\n\nSonic was the first to break the silence. “Yo Emerl, long time no see! Speaking of see, looks like you’ve been eating well.” He poked Emerl’s gut. Being surprised to see it actually wobble a little. “Shoot! How long has it been since we saw each other? I know I’ve been doing my own thing for a while, but I never expected this.”\n\n“Hey, Sonic. You peeping my powerful body? I learned how to cook, so I’ve been eating a lot better than before.” Ignoring the fact that he didn’t used to eat at all, Sonic kept messing around with his belly. Prompting more churning and belching. For extra effect, he slapped it.\n\n“Hehe! Alright, I gotta admit, this is fun. Never seen a bot who I could use for a stress toy instead of target practice. But to be serious for a second, you sure this is good for you? Nobody really knows how your body works. But this can’t be good for it. Could you even hope to match me in a race as you are now?”\n\nNow Emerl was becoming fed up with the teasing. His eyes narrowed and he grabbed Sonic’s arm. Taking it off his belly. “No way are you gonna call me slow.” Sonic’s mouth hung agape as he watched Emerl’s stern face. “In fact, since you wanna imply you’re better than me, I’ve got a new move to show you.”\n\n“H-hold up! Emerl, whaddya think you’re doing?” Sonic asked. It was too late for him though. Emerl placed him on the table and then dropped his gut onto him. The hedgehog grunted as he felt all of the air leave his lungs at once.\n\n“There we go. Now who can’t hope to match the other?” Emerl asked smugly. Sonic frowned, quickly getting his point. Thankfully so, as the wooden table surely wouldn’t last much longer with both of their weights on top of it. Emerl released Sonic from under his belly. Chuckling as the two of them continued to horse around. Sonic teased him more, but he now understood just how strong Emerl still was. Even if he admittedly had a harder time running around.\n\n——\n\nAs time went on, Emerl became greedier and hungrier. He was constantly making or stuffing himself with something, regardless of where he was at. Long gone was the thin version of him who relied on speed in a fight. Now he had raw power which could overwhelm anyone. Squishing people under his titanic gut or medicine ball butt was nothing if not amusing.\n\nWith nothing but free time and something new to celebrate after gaining full freedom from his programming, he figured nothing would be more exciting than a beach party. With Tails’ help, he created cards and delivered them to all the friends he came to know. Delivering them with a sonic speed waddle. Now here he was, surrounded by clear water and all of his friends.\n\nWhile Amy and Cream played around in the water, Emerl noticed Knuckles and Rouge standing in the middle of the beach. They seemed to be having a debate of some sort, likely about the Master Emerald. Emerl waved to them as he shuffled over. “Heya, you two! What’re you talking about?”\n\nKnuckles scoffed. “Nothing much. I’m just telling her to watch where she lands next time she decides to sneak up on somebody.”\n\nRogue smirked smugly. “Oh trust me, I’m always watching. And it just so happens your little island is the most interesting place for someone like me.”\n\n“Yeah! A thief!” Emerl only laughed at Knuckles’ clear annoyance with the bat. He threw his arms over their shoulders. Huddling them together.\n\n“C’mon Knux, she ain’t that bad. I mean, how many thieves do you usually get to talk to upfront like this? And Rouge, try to go easy on the poor guy. You know how he feels about his emerald.” Now Rouge was the one chuckling at Emerl’s comment. That sure was one way to defuse a situation. Emerl patted the two on the back before heading off somewhere else.\n\nNext, he saw Shadow who for some reason was with Chaos. Neither of the two were really talking. Association by isolation, it seemed. But that didn’t discourage Emerl in the slightest.\n\nNoticing the robot’s booming approach, Shadow turned to him. A slight smile formed on his lips. “Since when did you have such a noticeable presence? I suppose your power has grown even more than the last time we met.”\n\nEmerl chuckled, his amusement showing as his fat cheeks jiggled. “All I’ve been doing is growing, so you’re right there! Bet you’re wondering if your Chaos Power can match me. We’ll have to see some other time.” He declared, excited to test his might against his closest rival. Chaos burbled, looking ready to propose his own challenge to Emerl. \n\nShadow nodded, poking Emerl’s belly. “Your added padding may serve you well. But nothing goes beyond my power. Not even you.” Despite his tough words, he was being rather playful. As he was now, Emerl looked like a cute fellow weapon. He was taking care of himself nicely. The three chatted for a little longer before Sonic came up to Emerl’s side.\n\n“Yo! The food’s about to be done. And I know you wouldn’t wanna miss on that. Eh, big guy?” Emerl laughed as his fat arm was squished.\n\n“Definitely not! I’ll see you guys in a few.” \n\nSonic and Emerl headed over to the grill Tails had set up. On top of it were rows of burgers and hot dogs. All cooked nice and hot. The fox turned to them. Still fidgeting with a few loose screws on one of his devices. “Food’s ready you guys. Better tell everyone. I’m not too hungry, so I’ll just be watching everything while it cooks.” Sonic gave him a thumbs up. Grabbing himself a plate decorated with two hot dogs. Moving over to the electric stove to add some chili on them. Emerl did the same, only also adding two burgers, covering them in ketchup and mustard.\n\nEmerl stuffed himself like nobody’s business. Filling up his ever expanding middle with as much food as he could get his fat fingers on. Soon enough, a noticeable creaking sound was emitting from his stomach. Though he ignored it in favor of more food. Surrounded by stacks of plates, he fell back onto his butt. Feeling too heavy and lethargic to stand. He moaned, drawing the attention of everyone else around.\n\nSonic rushed over to him. Placing a hand on his taut belly. “Yo, Emerl, are you feeling so hot? It looks to me like you’re going way overboard.”\n\nEmerl stuffed another burger in his mouth before telling him, “I’m feeling great! The growing tightness in me is actually really nice. So no need to worry, big bro!”\n\nShadow came to Emerl’s side. Folding his arms as he faced Sonic. “Why don’t you just let him do what he sees fit? We both know he can make proper choices for himself. Don’t we, Sonic?” The blue hedgehog was surprised to see Shadow being so protective of Emerl. Regardless, he still didn’t have a good feeling about this. But before he could try again to dissuade Emerl, Chaos walked up to Emerl. He bubbled, offering something to him, which Emerl accepted with an eager nod.\n\nTo the surprise of both Sonic and Shadow, Chaos blasted a water jet into Emerl’s face. The stuffed bot began to drink it up. Cooing as all of the food inside of him was made easier to break down by the liquid pouring into him. Within seconds, Emerl began to fill out exponentially. His stomach churned loudly, swelling up with entire gallons of water from Chaos, who happily watched the fatty robot drink him up.\n\nNow everyone on the beach was watching Emerl drink and swell. The reactions were a mix of curiosity, worry, and amazement at how huge he was getting. All the while, Emerl listened intently to the inner workings of his body creaking louder and the sloshing of water in his stomach. Getting an indescribable amount of pleasure out of feeling so full. He was just getting bigger and fatter with each second that passed. Unable to contain himself, he unleashed a loud blast of gas which rumbled the sand underneath his ass.\n\nEmerl moaned as he expanded to the size of a house. He felt more bloated than ever before, but didn’t mind it at all. It felt too good being so large and heavy for him to care about how bad for him it was. Soon enough, Chaos stopped the flow of water into him. Looking pleased with himself as he hugged Emerl’s stuffed belly.\n\nSonic stared, dumbfounded, at Emerl. There were so many words racing through his head, but all he could say was, “Woah.” Shadow was in a similar situation. Blushing at how adorable he thought Emerl looked at his current size.\n\nEmerl sighed heartily. He tried to move his body a little, but was only able to wiggle his fingers. The rest of his body was an immovable, roll filled pile of flab. He chirped, pleased with his new form. “Wow! This feels every bit as amazing as I thought it would. Thanks, Chaos!” His entire inflated body wobbled due to him speaking.\n\nWith nothing better to do, all of Emerl’s friends began to inspect his widened body. Pressing up against his flab. Making him burp and fart shamelessly. He was the life of the party. But there was still one thing he wanted to do before the day ended.\n\n“Mwore…” He said, his fat cheeks muffling him. His booming voice drew the attention of the crowd around him. “Jwust one mwore chili dog.” He begged for them all to hear. Desperate for someone to indulge him just that little bit more. But only Sonic obliged him. The blue hedgehog grabbed a freshly made chili dog. Climbing up onto Emerl and holding it up to his face for him to eat whole.\n\n“Here you go, buddy. Hope you enjoy this.”\n\nEmerl’s eyes lit up and he happily absorbed the entire chili dog into himself. Once it disappeared, he sighed, entirely satiated. Suddenly, his already loud stomach started grumbling at a much higher volume. Sonic yelped as he was sent flying off of Emerl by a growth spurt. The robot’s stomach began taking up more of the beach. His face was becoming obscured by all of the blubber quickly piling up his body. His belly growled and creaked at a high frequency.\n\nEmerl could tell the fate that awaited him thanks to his bottomless appetite. He welcomed it, feeling nothing but pleasure as his morbidly obese body swelled up without stopping. Blubber filled to the brim with gas and water which weighed him down. Sonic and the others around were rendered unable to do anything but watch as Emerl became a giant gas bomb. Letting out a moan, Emerl felt another wave of gas entering his body. His stomach made one last creak as it tried to contain it all to no avail. He wanted this. He wanted to explode.\n\n“Thank you… Sonic. and everyone else too...”\n\nA sonic boom erupted as water surged out of Emerl’s body. Washing away everyone, besides Chaos who simply absorbed all of the liquid he lost. Once the blast died down, Sonic looked up at where Emerl once sat. Finding only the remnants of evaporated sand and the small shard of a Chaos Emerald absorbed into him. Sonic gasped, his eyes bulged as he continued to stare at the same spot. He wondered for a moment if he did the wrong thing. If it was his fault Emerl bursted into mere scraps. But then he remembered the robot’s last words to him. Holding up the emerald shard, he smiled.\n\n“Anytime, Emerl. Glad to help you out.”",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>With a chipper beep, Emerl woke up in the middle of the beach. His glassy blue eyes stared up at the clouds in the sky as he took in what just happened. &ldquo;It worked. This is awesome!&rdquo; It seemed his sleep experiment was a success. Not only could he copy techniques from people he knew, but also bodily functions like sleeping. Real sleeping too! With dreams and everything.<br /><br />With great speed, the fighting robot skated into Tails&rsquo; house. The fox could only turn his head as he saw Emerl enter suddenly.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tails! I did it!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wait? Really?! That&rsquo;s great, Emerl!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You bet it is!&rdquo; Emerl put his hands on his hips confidently. Brimming with pride about his newest achievement. &ldquo;Now if only Sonic was here...&rdquo; Right as he finished saying that, a blue blur entered the room. Perfect timing.<br /><br />Sonic waved to Tails as he settled down on his couch. Well, sort of his couch, and sort of Tails&rsquo;. His living situation was always up in the air. &ldquo;Hey! How&rsquo;s it hanging, you two?&rdquo; Sonic stretched his legs. Limbering up, making himself as comfortable as he could.<br /><br />Emerl stared him down. His attention was captured by just the person he was waiting for. &ldquo;Great! But you know, it&rsquo;d be a lot better if we could get a battle going.&rdquo; He pumped his fist. Already anticipating Sonic&rsquo;s certain acceptance-<br /><br />&ldquo;Nah. Not now,&rdquo; Sonic popped a chili dog in his mouth. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a long day. Dealing with Egghead, seeing new places, a lotta stuff. I&rsquo;m thinking that I&rsquo;m just gonna lay down for a while.&rdquo;<br /><br />Emerl was perplexed. He tilted his head to the side. &ldquo;Not now? But I&rsquo;ve been waiting all day. I&rsquo;ve even learned a new technique. Sort of&hellip;&rdquo; Thinking about it, sleeping wasn&rsquo;t the most efficient combat strategy. Still, he wasn&rsquo;t getting rusty anytime soon.<br /><br />Less than moved by the robot&rsquo;s plea, Sonic munched on his chili dog. Gulping it down entirely with his next go at it. &ldquo;If you wanna learn something so bad, go ask Tails.&rdquo; The fox shook his head.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sorry, Emerl. I&rsquo;m working on something too. I want to find a way to better fortify my lab.&rdquo; Emerl crossed his arms. Tapping his foot impatiently as he mulled over what he would do now. If Sonic wasn&rsquo;t up for a fight, he could try asking someone else. But going all the way out to one of their places just to request a fight would be rather rude. He sat down in front of Sonic. Looking up at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh&hellip; What are you doing?&rdquo; Sonic asked. Emerl chuckled, watching him intently.<br /><br />&ldquo;Simple. If you won&rsquo;t show me any fighting moves, then I&rsquo;ll just learn whatever else I can from you. Branching out sometimes ain&rsquo;t bad!&rdquo; Emerl was feeling rather good about his new game plan. Sonic meanwhile was at a loss for words. It seemed there would be no point in trying to discourage Emerl. He had long since grown past mindlessly taking orders. So he&rsquo;d just let him do whatever he wanted. Weird as it was.<br /><br />Ideas were forming in the robot&rsquo;s head. He could copy anything. He already proved to himself that he could learn skills vital for organic lifeforms. So what would learning a few more be but a fun little game to play? Indeed, it was a great plan.<br /><br />&mdash;&mdash;<br /><br />The impromptu, and frankly unplanned lessons were going well for Emerl, who had learned a lot in just a matter of days. Breathing, stretching bolted joints, and other mundane things came naturally to him. It turned out that non combat applicable abilities could still be quite nice to have. But there was still one thing that he needed to try and master.<br /><br />He managed to master taking in air despite his face being totally closed off, but that was simple compared to what he wanted to tackle next. Day after day, he saw Sonic snacking on chili dogs or soda, and he wanted in. The constant talk of how good everything tasted was like a big tease to him. He had no need for food, but that didn&rsquo;t mean he didn&rsquo;t want some every now and then.<br /><br />So now here he was. Staring down an apple which he held up in front of himself. &ldquo;Ok. Deep breaths.&rdquo; He just had to visualize eating the apple. He could morph his body into weapons, mimic natural flight, use Chaos Control, anything he put his mind to. This was nothing. But that was where the problem lied. Maybe he could make himself a mouth, but that&rsquo;d be weird and gross. He&rsquo;d just have to ingest it some other way.<br /><br />Imagination was a skill in and of itself. Keeping that in mind, Emerl focused on his hand. Visualizing the apple disappearing from it and into his body. A crunch was heard. Followed by a few more before nothing. The apple was gone, eaten by Emerl. He pumped his fist. Sonic would have to be impressed by this development.<br /><br />Now that the final skill he wanted to learn was mastered by him, Emerl knew just what to do. Eat way more stuff. But that would require making it himself, which was another thing entirely. He didn&rsquo;t exactly know any chefs. Or did he? With only one way to find out, he found himself at Amy Rose&rsquo;s apartment. He knocked on the door. Without skipping a beat, the pink hedgehog living there opened it up for him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh my gosh, Emerl! How have you been doing? Why don&rsquo;t you come inside so we can talk all about your day.&rdquo; <br /><br />Emerl was pulled into the house without a second to think about it. Now that he was in Amy&rsquo;s room, he knew he&rsquo;d have to make things brief. If given the chance, his self proclaimed mother would likely ramble for quite a while.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hi, Amy. I wanted to know if you know how to cook. And if you could teach me. Please.&rdquo; He asked politely.<br /><br />&ldquo;Cooking? Yeah, I&rsquo;ve done a bit of that. What kind of loving caregiver would I be if I didn&rsquo;t know how to whip up a nice meal?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So you&rsquo;ll teach me! Alright, let&rsquo;s get to work!&rdquo;<br /><br />The next few hours were messy to say the least. Amy had tasked Emerl with helping her make a batch of cookies. At first, things went smoothly. Just setting up the table and washing the dishes was easy. Relaxing too. But once mixers and other tools came out, it became a tad messy. Literally. Once all of the cookies were done, both Emerl and Amy had cookie dough all over them. At least it tasted good.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well then,&rdquo; Amy said, dusting off her gloves. &ldquo;Looks like that went well. And while you were busy, I invited over a guest to help taste test.&rdquo; Right on cue, a knock was heard at the door, and soon after Cream entered the kitchen. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hi, Emerl! Amy told me you were helping her with something, so I wanted to help out too.&rdquo; The sweet little rabbit said with an infectious positivity. One thing was for sure. He wasn&rsquo;t dealing with too much of a critic. <br /><br />The three of them ate the cookies. Making sure to get milk to dip them in for the added enjoyment. Each bite was new and special to Emerl. He wouldn&rsquo;t have guessed that sweets were this good. Once they were all gone, he felt something. A growing warmth in his stomach ready to erupt.<br /><br />&ldquo;BoOOoUUuURRrrRRP!!&rdquo;<br /><br />Amy and Cream looked at him with startled expressions. Emerl felt rather sheepish in the moment. What a way to discover that not only could he eat, but that he could also release gas. He could only mutter a small &ldquo;Excuse me.&rdquo; under his breath. To his surprise, the two merely laughed. Clearly amused by his predicament.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow, Emerl, I&rsquo;m amazed. You just keep on learning new things!&rdquo; Cream said. If it were anyone else, he&rsquo;d think they were making fun of him. But with how genuine the rabbit was, he saw no reason not to just take the compliment. Rubbing his head abashedly, he shook off his nervousness. Deciding to focus on the new skill he learned. Maybe this could help in a battle someday. <em>Definitely an option to consider in a pinch,</em> he thought.<br /><br />With that, Emerl spent the rest of the night trying out new recipes with Amy and Cream. It was enjoyable to say the least. He was having fun just relaxing like Sonic did for once. He&rsquo;d definitely have to try more chocolatey snacks.<br /><br />&mdash;&mdash;<br /><br />After his first taste of sweets, Emerl became determined to try out all sorts of flavors. They were varied, but if they were as good as cookies, it would be no problem. Luckily, he had friends to help him along. Tails shared his mint candy with him, Knuckles helped him scavenge tangy fruits, and Shadow showed him the best way to eat coffee beans.<br /><br />In his pursuit of new flavors, cooking had become a hobby of his. Each meal Tails, Amy, or Shadow helped him make was better than the last. New taste sensations lit up his mind. Making him chirp at each meal. Something about processing food, tasting it all the while, and converting it into energy for his mechanical body just felt right. It was proof that he was alive in ways other robots were not, he supposed.<br /><br />He was having so much fun cooking and eating that he forgot all about wanting to fight all the time. The energy he usually spent traveling all across the land looking for someone to &ldquo;play&rdquo; with and learn new moves from was entirely dedicated to honing his craft. His gluttony had rather unexpected consequences which were in full effect. Emerl got chubby, fat even.<br /><br />The thick armor surrounding his body became strained with what could only be described as flab. Pushed to expand by his burgeoning body, softened up by weeks of nonstop spoiling from his friends. It seemed that not only could Emerl eat. He could also convert all the excess energy he had into fat without even thinking about it. Between his tree trunk thighs, which rubbed closer together than ever before, and his huge olive-brown gut that jutted out from below his chest plate (which was starting to look like a crop top), he was positively massive.<br /><br />Of course, Emerl himself had no idea what was happening. The only fat person he had seen was Dr. Eggman. And it wasn&rsquo;t like he would instruct him on how to manage his weight. It didn&rsquo;t seem like he was undergoing anything harmful though. So he pushed aside whatever worries he had in order to keep eating. After all, there was still one thing he was building up to eating all this time. Sonic&rsquo;s favorite food.<br /><br />In his private time, Emerl had read up on how to make the perfect chili dog. He had all the ingredients in hand. Dogs, meat, spices, cheese, onions, all the necessities. Now to just put them all together. He laid down two hot dogs on a plate, placing cheese on both of them. Then, he morphed his hand into a blowtorch. The makeshift modifications served him well, searing the dogs to perfection and making the cheese on top of them melt to cover them in it.<br /><br />Next was the chili. Placing a tube of ground beef into a pan, he cooked it as well. Reducing the meat to brown chunks. Once they were cooked and separated, he poured tomato sauce onto them. Using his blowtorch hand to make it boil. He added in spices as he did so to let all the flavor settle in. After that, he diced some onions without crying, and voila, he had everything.<br /><br />He placed the chili and onions on the already cooked hot dogs. Completing his appetizing chili dogs. If he could salivate, he would have at the mere sight of them. Emerl happily carried his plate over to the living room. Plopping his fat robo butt onto the couch. He kicked his feet up. Using his belly as a table while the real thing served as a footrest.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve waited too long for this moment.&rdquo;<br /><br />Emerl placed a chili dog in front of his mouth plate. Effortlessly consuming it with a few bites. His insides began to creak as more blubber was added to his frame. It was a little unnerving. But also exciting. Like jumping out of a plane to skydive. He was pushing himself to reach limits he didn&rsquo;t even know he had. Undeterred by his groaning stomach, Emerl popped the second chili dog into his mouth. Moaning with satisfaction as he ate it whole. Once it was gone, he rested his arms on the couch&rsquo;s top. He looked down at the empty plate sitting on his large tummy. He felt warm in a good way.<br /><br />Well, nobody&rsquo;s around. I might as well enjoy this. Without another second of consideration, Emerl placed sausage fingers on his stomach. Pressing down on it and letting out a &ldquo;HWOOOOORRRRRRP!&rdquo; His belches were always so loud and unrestrained. There was still a ton of gas inside him, however. Out next came a &ldquo;FHWWWWRRRRRT!&rdquo; Which shook the couch cushions. Emerl sighed with relief and some other warm fuzzy feeling which made him feel the need to cool off.<br /><br />Wiggling his fingers, he picked up a liter of Chaos Soda, strategically placed within arm&rsquo;s reach for days like this. One hand poured the soda into his mouth. The other rubbed his bubbling stomach as the soda entered it. Once the entire liter was gone, Emerl tossed it aside. Giving full attention to the giant ball of gas he had nurtured. He played with it. Patting it, slapping it, rubbing it, doing all he could to relieve himself of the gas buildup within him.<br /><br />Emerl never guessed having so much mass would be so pleasurable. But here he was, messing with hundreds of pounds of metallic flab. Burping and farting without a care in the slightest. At the rate he was growing, a new couch would soon be in order. That fact egged him on further. His titanic size was a threat to behold, and he took pride in it.<br /><br />Eventually, Emerl felt ready for a nap. He had stuffed himself like a hog, and he needed time to recover before next time. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Sonic entered the room. The blue hedgehog looked curious as he was worried about whatever he just walked in on. Emerl&rsquo;s stomach let out another growl. Which only added to the growing awkwardness.<br /><br />Sonic was the first to break the silence. &ldquo;Yo Emerl, long time no see! Speaking of see, looks like you&rsquo;ve been eating well.&rdquo; He poked Emerl&rsquo;s gut. Being surprised to see it actually wobble a little. &ldquo;Shoot! How long has it been since we saw each other? I know I&rsquo;ve been doing my own thing for a while, but I never expected this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Sonic. You peeping my powerful body? I learned how to cook, so I&rsquo;ve been eating a lot better than before.&rdquo; Ignoring the fact that he didn&rsquo;t used to eat at all, Sonic kept messing around with his belly. Prompting more churning and belching. For extra effect, he slapped it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe! Alright, I gotta admit, this is fun. Never seen a bot who I could use for a stress toy instead of target practice. But to be serious for a second, you sure this is good for you? Nobody really knows how your body works. But this can&rsquo;t be good for it. Could you even hope to match me in a race as you are now?&rdquo;<br /><br />Now Emerl was becoming fed up with the teasing. His eyes narrowed and he grabbed Sonic&rsquo;s arm. Taking it off his belly. &ldquo;No way are you gonna call me slow.&rdquo; Sonic&rsquo;s mouth hung agape as he watched Emerl&rsquo;s stern face. &ldquo;In fact, since you wanna imply you&rsquo;re better than me, I&rsquo;ve got a new move to show you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;H-hold up! Emerl, whaddya think you&rsquo;re doing?&rdquo; Sonic asked. It was too late for him though. Emerl placed him on the table and then dropped his gut onto him. The hedgehog grunted as he felt all of the air leave his lungs at once.<br /><br />&ldquo;There we go. Now who can&rsquo;t hope to match the other?&rdquo; Emerl asked smugly. Sonic frowned, quickly getting his point. Thankfully so, as the wooden table surely wouldn&rsquo;t last much longer with both of their weights on top of it. Emerl released Sonic from under his belly. Chuckling as the two of them continued to horse around. Sonic teased him more, but he now understood just how strong Emerl still was. Even if he admittedly had a harder time running around.<br /><br />&mdash;&mdash;<br /><br />As time went on, Emerl became greedier and hungrier. He was constantly making or stuffing himself with something, regardless of where he was at. Long gone was the thin version of him who relied on speed in a fight. Now he had raw power which could overwhelm anyone. Squishing people under his titanic gut or medicine ball butt was nothing if not amusing.<br /><br />With nothing but free time and something new to celebrate after gaining full freedom from his programming, he figured nothing would be more exciting than a beach party. With Tails&rsquo; help, he created cards and delivered them to all the friends he came to know. Delivering them with a sonic speed waddle. Now here he was, surrounded by clear water and all of his friends.<br /><br />While Amy and Cream played around in the water, Emerl noticed Knuckles and Rouge standing in the middle of the beach. They seemed to be having a debate of some sort, likely about the Master Emerald. Emerl waved to them as he shuffled over. &ldquo;Heya, you two! What&rsquo;re you talking about?&rdquo;<br /><br />Knuckles scoffed. &ldquo;Nothing much. I&rsquo;m just telling her to watch where she lands next time she decides to sneak up on somebody.&rdquo;<br /><br />Rogue smirked smugly. &ldquo;Oh trust me, I&rsquo;m always watching. And it just so happens your little island is the most interesting place for someone like me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah! A thief!&rdquo; Emerl only laughed at Knuckles&rsquo; clear annoyance with the bat. He threw his arms over their shoulders. Huddling them together.<br /><br />&ldquo;C&rsquo;mon Knux, she ain&rsquo;t that bad. I mean, how many thieves do you usually get to talk to upfront like this? And Rouge, try to go easy on the poor guy. You know how he feels about his emerald.&rdquo; Now Rouge was the one chuckling at Emerl&rsquo;s comment. That sure was one way to defuse a situation. Emerl patted the two on the back before heading off somewhere else.<br /><br />Next, he saw Shadow who for some reason was with Chaos. Neither of the two were really talking. Association by isolation, it seemed. But that didn&rsquo;t discourage Emerl in the slightest.<br /><br />Noticing the robot&rsquo;s booming approach, Shadow turned to him. A slight smile formed on his lips. &ldquo;Since when did you have such a noticeable presence? I suppose your power has grown even more than the last time we met.&rdquo;<br /><br />Emerl chuckled, his amusement showing as his fat cheeks jiggled. &ldquo;All I&rsquo;ve been doing is growing, so you&rsquo;re right there! Bet you&rsquo;re wondering if your Chaos Power can match me. We&rsquo;ll have to see some other time.&rdquo; He declared, excited to test his might against his closest rival. Chaos burbled, looking ready to propose his own challenge to Emerl. <br /><br />Shadow nodded, poking Emerl&rsquo;s belly. &ldquo;Your added padding may serve you well. But nothing goes beyond my power. Not even you.&rdquo; Despite his tough words, he was being rather playful. As he was now, Emerl looked like a cute fellow weapon. He was taking care of himself nicely. The three chatted for a little longer before Sonic came up to Emerl&rsquo;s side.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yo! The food&rsquo;s about to be done. And I know you wouldn&rsquo;t wanna miss on that. Eh, big guy?&rdquo; Emerl laughed as his fat arm was squished.<br /><br />&ldquo;Definitely not! I&rsquo;ll see you guys in a few.&rdquo; <br /><br />Sonic and Emerl headed over to the grill Tails had set up. On top of it were rows of burgers and hot dogs. All cooked nice and hot. The fox turned to them. Still fidgeting with a few loose screws on one of his devices. &ldquo;Food&rsquo;s ready you guys. Better tell everyone. I&rsquo;m not too hungry, so I&rsquo;ll just be watching everything while it cooks.&rdquo; Sonic gave him a thumbs up. Grabbing himself a plate decorated with two hot dogs. Moving over to the electric stove to add some chili on them. Emerl did the same, only also adding two burgers, covering them in ketchup and mustard.<br /><br />Emerl stuffed himself like nobody&rsquo;s business. Filling up his ever expanding middle with as much food as he could get his fat fingers on. Soon enough, a noticeable creaking sound was emitting from his stomach. Though he ignored it in favor of more food. Surrounded by stacks of plates, he fell back onto his butt. Feeling too heavy and lethargic to stand. He moaned, drawing the attention of everyone else around.<br /><br />Sonic rushed over to him. Placing a hand on his taut belly. &ldquo;Yo, Emerl, are you feeling so hot? It looks to me like you&rsquo;re going way overboard.&rdquo;<br /><br />Emerl stuffed another burger in his mouth before telling him, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m feeling great! The growing tightness in me is actually really nice. So no need to worry, big bro!&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow came to Emerl&rsquo;s side. Folding his arms as he faced Sonic. &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you just let him do what he sees fit? We both know he can make proper choices for himself. Don&rsquo;t we, Sonic?&rdquo; The blue hedgehog was surprised to see Shadow being so protective of Emerl. Regardless, he still didn&rsquo;t have a good feeling about this. But before he could try again to dissuade Emerl, Chaos walked up to Emerl. He bubbled, offering something to him, which Emerl accepted with an eager nod.<br /><br />To the surprise of both Sonic and Shadow, Chaos blasted a water jet into Emerl&rsquo;s face. The stuffed bot began to drink it up. Cooing as all of the food inside of him was made easier to break down by the liquid pouring into him. Within seconds, Emerl began to fill out exponentially. His stomach churned loudly, swelling up with entire gallons of water from Chaos, who happily watched the fatty robot drink him up.<br /><br />Now everyone on the beach was watching Emerl drink and swell. The reactions were a mix of curiosity, worry, and amazement at how huge he was getting. All the while, Emerl listened intently to the inner workings of his body creaking louder and the sloshing of water in his stomach. Getting an indescribable amount of pleasure out of feeling so full. He was just getting bigger and fatter with each second that passed. Unable to contain himself, he unleashed a loud blast of gas which rumbled the sand underneath his ass.<br /><br />Emerl moaned as he expanded to the size of a house. He felt more bloated than ever before, but didn&rsquo;t mind it at all. It felt too good being so large and heavy for him to care about how bad for him it was. Soon enough, Chaos stopped the flow of water into him. Looking pleased with himself as he hugged Emerl&rsquo;s stuffed belly.<br /><br />Sonic stared, dumbfounded, at Emerl. There were so many words racing through his head, but all he could say was, &ldquo;Woah.&rdquo; Shadow was in a similar situation. Blushing at how adorable he thought Emerl looked at his current size.<br /><br />Emerl sighed heartily. He tried to move his body a little, but was only able to wiggle his fingers. The rest of his body was an immovable, roll filled pile of flab. He chirped, pleased with his new form. &ldquo;Wow! This feels every bit as amazing as I thought it would. Thanks, Chaos!&rdquo; His entire inflated body wobbled due to him speaking.<br /><br />With nothing better to do, all of Emerl&rsquo;s friends began to inspect his widened body. Pressing up against his flab. Making him burp and fart shamelessly. He was the life of the party. But there was still one thing he wanted to do before the day ended.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mwore&hellip;&rdquo; He said, his fat cheeks muffling him. His booming voice drew the attention of the crowd around him. &ldquo;Jwust one mwore chili dog.&rdquo; He begged for them all to hear. Desperate for someone to indulge him just that little bit more. But only Sonic obliged him. The blue hedgehog grabbed a freshly made chili dog. Climbing up onto Emerl and holding it up to his face for him to eat whole.<br /><br />&ldquo;Here you go, buddy. Hope you enjoy this.&rdquo;<br /><br />Emerl&rsquo;s eyes lit up and he happily absorbed the entire chili dog into himself. Once it disappeared, he sighed, entirely satiated. Suddenly, his already loud stomach started grumbling at a much higher volume. Sonic yelped as he was sent flying off of Emerl by a growth spurt. The robot&rsquo;s stomach began taking up more of the beach. His face was becoming obscured by all of the blubber quickly piling up his body. His belly growled and creaked at a high frequency.<br /><br />Emerl could tell the fate that awaited him thanks to his bottomless appetite. He welcomed it, feeling nothing but pleasure as his morbidly obese body swelled up without stopping. Blubber filled to the brim with gas and water which weighed him down. Sonic and the others around were rendered unable to do anything but watch as Emerl became a giant gas bomb. Letting out a moan, Emerl felt another wave of gas entering his body. His stomach made one last creak as it tried to contain it all to no avail. He wanted this. He wanted to explode.<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you&hellip; Sonic. and everyone else too...&rdquo;<br /><br />A sonic boom erupted as water surged out of Emerl&rsquo;s body. Washing away everyone, besides Chaos who simply absorbed all of the liquid he lost. Once the blast died down, Sonic looked up at where Emerl once sat. Finding only the remnants of evaporated sand and the small shard of a Chaos Emerald absorbed into him. Sonic gasped, his eyes bulged as he continued to stare at the same spot. He wondered for a moment if he did the wrong thing. If it was his fault Emerl bursted into mere scraps. But then he remembered the robot&rsquo;s last words to him. Holding up the emerald shard, he smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Anytime, Emerl. Glad to help you out.&rdquo;</span>",
