WHISPER OF A RESISTANCE

It was fun, Ill admit it. Finding each and everyone of you that were part of this resistance and turning them into my slavesit was amusing. But now, its time for me to dance and for you to submit



Rouge said before starting to laugh, enjoying the moment upon which she rightfully towered over others in more ways than one. She finally did it, after a long time, the alluring bat found the last resistance group. Their base was the main building of the Casino managed by Breezie, a powerful entrepreneur that used to have a lot of power in the past. After Rouge took control of some and then most cities, the hedgehog woman decided to help the resistance, mostly because she wanted things to go back to normal. One could not be a mogul and above others if someone simply took that away from her.



The resistance had a strong start, people who were hiding were found before Rouge would use her beauty and new powers to take their minds and will. Since they didn't want to risk their safety, the leaders of each zone decided to work on different cities, only getting together for an important reunion. Their cooperation was necessary, many key systems established and escape routes settled up in order to keep their efforts alive and people free from her influence, yet it was a lengthy battle with no well-known way to fight back against the bat whose power seemed all-too inevitable. Still it kept on going due to hope never backing down.



Sadly, the good moments only lasted for a couple of weeks. Even with all the time bought by duress and the fact that people were not found that easily, sometimes they were either by Rouge or one of the members of her important group: the Harem Squad. This one consisted of her former friends or even rivals who were now her slaves, brainwashed to work for her and to enjoy bringing people under the same state of mind. Things only got worse once the belly dancing bat got information about where each resistance group was hiding, many who were caught being privy to important information as to their whereabouts and contingency plans. In the end, only Breezie and the people in her casino were the ones that still hadnt been captured.



Realizing quickly that they didn't have much time, they decided to think of either a solution or another exit strategy. One plan was to take away the gem that was always clasped on the Rouges belly, but the plan was quickly dropped when it was discovered that Sonic and Tangle tried to execute it only to fail miserably. Each idea that came after that was difficult or even impossible, making everyone feel frustrated. While there existed no miraculous tactic or approach to their dilemma, they did want to have a foolproof angle and this seemed to be out of their grasp, much to their chagrin. It looked like Rouge was invincible and that their destiny was to become slaves of the much-changed batuntil someone said out loud the one thing they were all waiting for.



I have an idea!



The one that came with the idea was Whisper, a heroine that also fought on the same team of Sonic and a close friend of Tangle. To hear her speak so loudly and claim everyones attention was particularly at odds with what people knew and expected of her, yet those were dire times and she had suffered enough from the situation, much like everyone else. If there is one magical stonedont you think there might beanother one with the same powers and abilities? she suggested, still a bit hesitant as if her own clear and more confident declaration was deflating by the second, Whispers own persona returning to the forefront the further she spoke.



It sounded crazy, some couldn't even believe that idea, but after thinking and arguing about it for a moment they started to feel it was their only hope. Looking for information about that stone, which included multiple interpretations of the legend and their powers, they found a gem that was up to par with the Tra-ahn-ce gem. Its name was the Dah-Zeh gem, an orange and purple stone that was said to have similar powers to the original mind-controlling gem. Perhaps if they had found that book and checked it out prior it might have turned the tides much quicker, yet the one who actually located it way before any of this had been perhaps not the brightest or fastest bulb in all of Mobius: Big the Cat. There were some doubts about it, being the main concern that the one that gets the stone might get corrupted like Rougeor perhaps even worse. While the information didn't mention anything related to corruption, it was written that the Dah-Zeh stone could put anyone under a trance, and even wake up someone from it. It was indeed their best shot and desperate times required for desperate measures.



Breezie divided the team in two groups: people that would research the location and people that would go search for it. With very few resources left and many being too scared to properly get out to search for it, Breezie placed everyone here on the former group, while the latter would be handled by the only one quiet and stealthy enough to retrieve the precious stone: Whisper.



I know its hard for you, all of thisso we appreciate your help, the hedgehog woman stated, looking at the wolf. She understood the problems Whisper had related to this whole situation, not even related to her own anxiety and shy nature. She and Tangle got separated while escaping the city and werent able to find each other after that. The most difficult thing was that most of the people in Rouges Harem Squad or within her proximity were people that she cared a lot for and considered close friends. Tangle, Sonic, Tails, Silver, friends whom she used to laugh and have a good time where nothing more than mindless slaves with the only idea in their mind to serve Rouge with their lives if need be.



After an arduous week, both groups made some progress. The first one presented five possible places where the stone could be, from the same cave where Rouge found the gem to be buried, within a forest. Others in that group presented a plan in case someone from Rouges entourage would discover them, but the main idea in both cases was to take a stealth approach. If someone did find them, one would have to stay behind to give time to the others, a role very few wanted to have to take for themselves. Breezie, Whisper and the other members of the resistance continued working on the plan that they hoped would put an end to the reign of the bat, even potentially returning things to normal soon afterward. While finishing another meeting, where they discussed this possibility and other ideas, a malfunction with the lights happened, making everything go dark. It wouldn't be an issue for long, the Casino had back-up energy for problems like that.



While it wasnt a strange thing to happen, the only two times it happened was when they used most of the energy for their computers and vehicles, the latter which they stopped using a while ago. Moments after the back-up energy was activated, Breezie received a call from the guards that were looking at the door: someone was trying to break in. Changing the call into a video one, Breezie, Whisper and the others could see that seven guards were trying to hold the door. Those guards were the strongest of the group, but they were no match for what was behind the door: Rouge and her whole army. Even Big the Cat and Shade the Echidna couldnt keep them out as things were growing dire.



Impossible. How did they find us? Breezie said out loud, surprised by the sudden invasion. How did Rouge and his group of hypnotized slaves found the last resistance group? It was all related to one team: The Chaotix. Before the bat took control over their minds, the detectives went to help Breezie with a problem in her casino. During their time as one of the principal groups of the resistance, they were captured and hypnotized by the Harem Squad of Rouge. As such, they did hold crucial information that they more than willingly shared with their new goddess and mistress. While the alluring bat and Tails, her second in command, tried to find the last members of the resistance, she decided to ask the Chaotix if they had any idea where to locate them all. Charmy, the youngest one, wanting to impress the pretty bat whom he loved, mentioned that before they were captured they helped a casino mogul. With that information, Rouge and Tails looked at the list of enslaved people and found that Breezie wasnt there and thus it all clicked.



She quickly planned an attack on the casino, seeing it as both an opportunity to finally put an end to the resistance and also make the place her own personal palace. Such a locale of opulence would be perfect to convert into a lair worthy of her own rich beauty and power, after all. Accompanied with everyone from her main group, the alluring bat was ready to capture anyone that would be found there. Just 40 rebels? What a joke Rouge said while looking at Waves radar. While it wasnt thechallenge she expected, the bat wasnt going to drop an opportunity like that nevertheless. It would be a show of both strength and allure, of which she had aplenty to put on display.



While the bat and her team took care of the guards, Breezie and Whisper knew that they had to escape. Lets go to my office! she said out loud while Whisper and the rest of the members of the resistance followed her. The video had been left on, with Whisper getting a glimpse of how they fared by giving a glance to the unfolding events. Big being at the mercy of another cat, Blaze, while Shade seemed to be getting convinced rather easily by Vanilla and Amyit was a lot to take even for a few seconds as the group ran away knowing that this would befall them if they lingered on for too long.



The discussion room was on the 15th floor, and Breezie's office was on the 30th. Since the elevator wasnt working given the back-up power did not start them back straight away, they had to use the stairs. Even if they tried to go as fast as they could,Some of the floors held surprises for them, with Knuckles and Shadow getting out to slow down or completely halt the group in its entirety. Some of the survivors decided to sacrifice themselves to give time for Breezie and Whisper to escape, fighting those two if only to permit others to progress.



While on the 28th floor, one of the survivors was captured by some kind of energy field, one hailing from seemingly nowhere. Oh no! We need to run! Breezie yelled before going faster and encouraging the others to do the same. What had happened was that Rouges butler, Silver, had found them, floating in the middle of the staircase, quickly rising up as the first one he found was stopped immediately, held in stasis for the others to pick up. The sacrifices were piling up, but they could not stop or let despair settle in or else it would all be for naught.



Finally in the office, the last remaining survivor, Ray the Flying Squirrel, decided to stay to give both of them time. Breezie and Whisper closed the door and moved some of the furniture closer to the door. They got us, I knew they would find us but even then we werent prepared enough the hedgehog woman said while searching for the emergency bag that was in her office that was put there just in case. Whisper could see that Breezie, someone who looked calm and serene, started to hyperventilate and shake. Like everyone else she was scared, worried about their future. It was difficult to imagine that this was the same cold and serious woman who only cared about her own business, the one who held no qualm about legally making sure every visitor would lose every single one of their cents to her.



When Whisper received the bag, Breezie showed her the secret passage. The entry was behind a tile in her office, one that was covered by a one-way mirror. Please, I know it sounds harsh, but dont look back. Youre the only one left who can do this, Breezie said before letting Whisper enter the path outside, putting in the code to reveal it for a few seconds.



As soon as she closed it, both gals heard the door being open. Turning around, the alluring bat made her entrance. She wasnt alone, as she was accompanied by some other people of her group, her own personal assistants Silver and Sticks. Breezie was trapped and hoped that they wouldnt find out that Whisper escaped. She made a conscious effort not to stare at the tile, the panel upon which to enter the code thankfully being covered-up again to conceal its own existence. It was Breezie against Rouge and those twoand she knew she couldnt win.



Whisper, caught by a fit of anxiety, felt paralyzed as things had turned so wrong in such little time that it was completely overwhelming. She had difficulties breathing, to move one inch and yet she knew she ought not to look, or else she might suffer the same fate as the others. She could only try to calm herself down, unfortunately able to hear and listen everything that would be said and done.



Yet before Rouge or any of her slaves would do anything, the hedgehog woman made the mistake on looking at the gem on the bats belly, adorning her navel. The pretty colors, how shiny it was, Breezie started to get lost into the power of the gem. Someone as greedy as her could not help but glance at it, even though she knew not to. It was an impulse, a natural reaction which sealed her fate. Then it began to move and each facets, each individual little sheen went on to captivate her furthermore as unwittingly for the hedgehog Rouge had started to flutter and very subtly sway her belly, greatly amused by what had been a silly decision on Breezies part.



No word needed to be said, Rouges own dominion sealed further and further given the state of her expanding empire as she did not need to even move her lips or say anything. Her confidence and her authority, her charisma, would naturally exude itself and in this she was right as she saw this as an entertaining challenge, a little self-indulgence instead of crushing a crucial member of the resistance. She thought little of Breezie despite some of the similar traits they shared and thus she would not even lower herself to subjugate her: the casino mogul would do it herself and enjoy it.



It proved to be true, however, as the very minimalistic belly dance, the light waist gyration, the belly bumps, the flutters and the supple rolls made it so the gem lodged in that navel occupied every single senses, dominated the train-of-thought that was burgeoning in Breezies mind. Soon, Breezie limped a little forward, her mouth slightly agape and her eyes filled with spirals as the trance was settling in without a single word uttered. Thus was the power of the Tra-Ahn-Ce gem, its influence irresistible. M-M-m the greedy hedgehog began to say, a word beginning to form on the tip of her tongue, which pleased Rouge greatly.



More? Magnificent? Marvelous? Do speak up, dear~ Rouge teased, finally uttering something as her voice only served to enhance the euphoria propagated through this little dance as she began to expand those hip sways and dropped the minimal efforts. Turning into a full-blown performance, she twirled on the spot for a moment as if to hide the gem for a split-second before then moving her waist forward, arching her lower back a smidge and then shimmied her hips at a mad pace. Im eager to hear it. I command you to tell me~



M-m-m Breezie said, beginning to lose this fight that she knew she had no chance to even win. This defeatist attitude served her none, for the gem had sneaked its way inside her psyche and soon she finally formed the word that was meant to be shared, a smile finally popping up on her face. Mistress~



You two, wait outside and close the door. Once I'm done Ill tell you to come back, Rouge stated in a pleased and mischievous fashion, speaking to her two assistants. The butler and maid bowed in respect before going out of the room and closing the door. Leaving the alluring bat with Tangle and Sonic who just entered as those two were indeed prized slaves for other reasons. Status report?



We have secured the perimeter and made it so any of the faulty citizens have been corrected, they shall obey your commands as they should from now on, Tangle began to say, her own eyes on Rouges hips as her mistress hadnt stopped her dancing just yet. Even without the gem it proved hypnotic to those under her power, which made it difficult for some to speak, Sonic in this case, who fell on his knees in front of such mesmerizing allure. We have perhaps found a new possible member for the Harem Squad, an echidna named Shade. Any stragglers were rounded up by Sonic here who were all subjected to a show which is preparing them all for your divine gift, my mistress.



Tangle, you know what to do, Rouge commanded as this sole order made the lemur move out. Not wanting to ignore the command of her mistress, Tangle used her tail and coiled Breezie, immobilizing her utterly in the process. Her mind was still on that thin line between resisting and submitting characterized by small twitches as while Breezie had somewhat surrenderedthere was still pride within her that refused to concede victory. Unfortunately for her, the bat didn't even start with her dance in a serious manner. This had been Rouge merely playing all-along, putting in a minimal amount of effort to test things out. To go forth shed need music, however, thus she snapped her fingers to wake the obviously entranced Sonic whom she felt behind her, making it so hed do as shed command. Sonic. Music.



Not wanting to end like Breezie, Whisper turned around and went on her way out of the casino. It was hard since she couldn't stop thinking about the sacrifice of the others and how she was the last intact member of the resistance. While inside the passage, the wolf gal could see what was happening around the building: Wave was talking with Silver and Sticks, Shadow and Knuckles were looking at the other rooms to see if anyone was hiding, Amy and Blaze finished their dance and some of the survivors were deep in a state of trance while Tails was commanding Storm and Vector to pick up any machinery that he considered useful for him.



After sliding out of the place, Whisper found herself in the basement of a house that was close to the casino. Looking at the window, she could see that there were also a few slaves outside, guarding the place. She even recognized that three of them were Jet, Fang and Mighty. It was particularly shocking to see how so many were put under the bats control, how enemies and rivals, even mercenaries, seemed to be united under her banner. It would be almost laudable if it werent for the soul-crushing mind-control, the brainless devotion that all had for their downfall as Whisper sneaked past them, her area of expertise indeed being stealth and making as little sound as possible.



As she looked at the downfall of the resistance, she could see that Rouge came to the top of the building. It was projected on the many screens which usually demonstrated advertisement, yet now only showcased the empress herself standing proudly in her bedlah, her gem firmly settled inside her belly button still. The resistance has been defeated. Your Mistress won, Rouge announced for all to hear, a declaration of victory and a last taunt for any potential people not basked in her influence, under her own guidance. She seemed pleased about herself, soon joined by Breezie and Sonic as the two hypnotized hedgehogs joined her, a powerful symbol given that the last leader of the resistance and the legendary hero were at her side, spirals in their eyes and subservient to her will. Tangle, or any other member of the Harem Squad, were nowhere to be found.



She was grateful for escaping, but it was a low blow to see the other survivors be taken by the bat and her hypnotic powers. Whisper could feel the pressure, being the chosen one, the one who would free them all from this nightmare. The wolf gal decided to leave the vicinity, doing her best to avoid being seen. She could not focus on that defeat, on those they lost, only on the fact that she could not afford to lose. She needed to move forward as the bag that she had been given was filled not only with survival toolsbut also a copy of the map they had devised to find the Dah-Zeh gem. She just needed to stay on the down low and find this stone which might prove to be their salvation.



Much later, after a lot of turmoil and stress, Whisper was out of the city, far away from Rouge and the former headquarters. She felt tired, but in a situation like this she couldnt give herself that privilege of rest, of taking it easy. She had to give herself a break, though, using this moment to see the places where the Dah-Zeh gem might be. A lot of those were in Rouge-occupied territories, which meant that taking them in as first options was out of the question, like the Seaside Museum or on Angel Island. There were some forgotten ruins far removed from civilization which proved promising enough, Whisper figuring that such a place would indeed be the perfect resting place for an item of powerif all fiction she had consumed prior was to be believed at any rate. She tried to keep herself in good spirits with such comparisons, keeping herself from thinking too deeply about what was at stake and how on she was pretty much on her lonesome. Even her Wisps friends had been somewhat caught, trying to protect her and yet unwittingly watching that dance which brought everyone under the performers control. This meant her weapon was useless, so getting the Dah-Zeh gem was crucial to the possible free-willed future of all Mobius.



Eventually she figured that she couldnt stay put for long, eating a ration on the way and trying to toughen herself up much like all the heroes did back in the good old days. Never giving up, no matter how heavy the pressure is, a lesson still being learned yet put to the test here and now as she evaded any and all people that she saw, unable to risk being spotted by anyone on the way for fear that theyd report to the Harem Squad or Rouge herself. Eventually she did reach that spot, the Luminous Forest, where it had been rumored that ruins could be found, the one spot they all agreed Whisper ought to look out for. It was thankfully removed from Rouges many domains, making it so the chances were low to be spotted and thankfully in such an environment there were plenty of places to hide. Whisper just needed to continue being careful and not to think of it all too much, of Breezie being so easily hypnotized by Rougeof Silver taking someone with his telekinetic abilitiesof Tangle being one of themShe stopped to take a breather, eat some more. Fatigue was settling in, yet she could not abandon, especially not now as she wanted nothing more than to spend easier days, sunnier ones with her friends being themselves.



Her scouting bore fruit, the loneliness weighing on her yet her spirit still somewhat strong as she indeed found ruins upon which many tall trees had fallen, particularly well-hidden because of that specific factor. She could slip in due to her leaner figure and her training as she went down stairs that were covered by moss and dust. It was eerie, especially dark and yet she soldiered on until something went on to lit up, many torches of white and black flames, as if taken from some grainy old picture, illuminated the way. It startled her, yet everything became much clearer as these ruins were not well-preserved, many chambers completely blocked due to debris, the paintings on the wall worn-down and barely visible, yet the pathway to the main chamber was intact and upon a pedestal, basking in natural light, could be found the stone itself: the Dah-Zeh gem.



At a simple glance, it was a crystal-clear multi-faceted precious stone, no particular colors, yet there were extremes of black and white that coursed through and that never meshed. It was a beautiful kind of strange phenomenon, an endless non-loop that still emerged as the first half of a pattern that never actually repeated itself, all contained within something that seemed made of the most priceless material on the planet. She approached it, forgetting her own doubts for an instant as she basked in its light, forgoing her troubles for an instant that seemed to stretch itself until she heard a few steps echoing from the main hall, making her turn around only to find the one person she both hoped to meet and avoid.



Tangle.



My mistress was right to have me search for you. You managed to find the Dah-Zeh gem for her, the lemur said, her more jovial and excited tone replaced by something more mischievous yet still playful. There was a confidence that bordered on arrogance as Whispers friend had indeed changed, wearing that orange bedlah that adorned a body that was much morebuxom than before. She looked dazzling, yet herein laid the danger as to admire for too long would lead to a mindless state of compliance. I am so happy to have received your help. Let me convert you myself and well be together under our mistress command. Youll grow to be an amazing addition to the Harem Squad, Ill make it so personally~



There was sweetness within that tone, Tangle meaning her words as if they were the foremost truth, the kindest offer of them all, yet Whisper was not dupe enough to fall for this toxic arrangement. Youyou areyou are not Whisper struggled to say, emotions and exhaustion getting in the way of eloquent speech. Her greatest friend, the one that she felt the deepest emotional connection to, talking about turning her into a corrupt slave made things so wrong that she finally went to speak loudly, a sudden burst in her voice. You are not the Tangle I know!



Im betterand I want you to be your best self too, Whisper, Tangle replied to that, her tail elongating as it went straight from the wolf girl, only for the intended target to dodge skillfully. In a direct fight the lemur had the advantage and they both knew it. If Whisper had her weapon she could incapacitate her foe here and now, yet no dice on that front. She could and would not let herself be captured, yet the end result would be this if she didnt find a way to stand her ground. Imagine yourself in a bedlah, dancing alongside me. Wouldnt that be the best?



It would certainly be sexy, yet even though it was a tempting offer Whisper refused with one silent glare as she thought of a way to take the gem and flee, yet one inherent thought, an alien one, inserted itself in her mind. She just needed to fight her on equal terms, on the same ground. She did not recognize this as her own initiative or impulse, black and white colors pulsating within her psyche as she turned around to the Dah-Zeh gem, recognizing its aura within herself as she almost got coiled by the lemurs tail. It brought her closer to the one thing that they were both seeking as Whisper figured that it was do or die, taking the gem for herself and the moment it was in her hand it sent a very strong craving for it to be placed inside her navel, something that she obliged. She lifted her shirt, slipped it in and then



She felt an amazing rush.



It was unlike anything that she had lived through before, euphoria and confidence filling her as there was a transformation, a transfiguration of the self as her shyness, her doubts, her own hesitation vanished. It was all washed away inside a spiral of white and black, the two extremes taking care of those unnecessary blockades to her own goal as energy filled her. Her cloak, her shirt, her pants, her bootsit all went away to be replaced by a bedlah of the most sumptuous fashion, pantaloons and curved slippers, puffy see-through sleeves and a facial veil, golden jewelry and a top which left little to the imaginationall with black and white. Her body began to adapt to these new vestments, culminating with a flat and smooth-looking stomach, wider hips, a firm yet soft rear, larger breasts and bravado in those eyes as the gem spiraled within her navel. From military and stealthy to an exotic beauty in a matter of seconds, all in front of her dearest friend.



I am sorry to see you this way, Tangle, Whisper said, her voice clear and direct, no stuttering or tone which had given her this namesake. The intrinsic knowledge of dancing was pumped within her mind, visualization of moves she would never have dared to perform now crystal-clear within her imagination, her body ready to manifest them live if need be. Allow me to free you from this torment of yours.



Whisper fought fire with fire, going with an approach that was very unlike her, thus why it shocked and startled Tangle who could only be in awe of this wolf gal which she was very fond of. To see this shy, reserved girl begin to dance without music, yet every motion was like a melody as her blonde and brown fur just seemed to sway as naturally as her hips did. She took one step forward and twisted one hip, clasping her palms together in a slow singular clap just in front of her chest, then took another step to do the same twist albeit with the opposite hip. It was as if she was brushing the stage, cleaning it up so that she could better conquer and then own it. Close to her resided a black and white aura, barely perceptible yet definitely visible for Tangle who had her eyes glued on this bedlah beauty. This was a strong start as the lemurs tail had stopped in its track, as if it would be sacrilege to stop this dance so soon, to even think of harm this sublime character in front of herand yet before thinking of submitting Tangle knew that her loyalty was not to her admiration of the newly-changed Whisperbut to her mistress Rouge.



How magnificent. I can see you already have your own outfit~ Tangle said, trying to regain her mental foothold after this sudden development, her own eyes still glued on Whisper and yet definitely sticking to her own goals for the time being. Her own tail retreated back, going on to turn itself into a spiral loop to act as her own background accompaniment. The fun nature of the lemur was still intact after all of this, even while turned into the leader of the Harem Squad and this challenge would not go unanswered. But a bedlah doesnt make the dancer. Lets see what youre worth and if I winIll make you mine and my mistress~



Tangle immediately went for hip bumps as each one of them made the loop behind her go a little faster, a little wider. Like a ticking clock, a pendulum of baladi, she went right and left with rough yet sexy motions at first to the spiral of her own tail. She placed her own hands on those hips, highlighting them so that their width and plumpness would be more than visible. A smirk on her face, it turned into something a little sultrier, bolder when she then turned one of those bumps into hip circles, going far and wide in a slow manner as she placed those hands behind her hand, raising her arms alongside it. She stood there, almost daring Whisper to come to her, their eyes meeting along the way.



Whisper could not deny the appeal of what she saw, this bombastic gal in such a sexy gettup moving so sensually and teasingly was quite a sight. Even with her more confident attitude and the backing of the Dah-Zeh gem she could not deny feeling a little dizzy while watching her, unable and unwilling to avert her gaze from the sumptuous spectacle. Still she had a mission and her concentration did not falter so much that shed stray away from it. She got on the tip of her toes and then began to twist her hips front and back, taking very small steps forward yet also in rotation so as to showcase her entire body, including her lean and straight-standing back. Her wrists twirled slowly and surely, her hands going higher and higher above her head as for a moment she barely saw Tangle anymoreyet she did a quick half-spin and then used the momentum to drop on her knees and arch her lower back, going for abdomen undulation, from the top of her chest to her lower belly, only to go at it in reverse. She created this loop, maintaining it with a neutral expression that turned subtly into a thin smile, an enticing one.

Tangle, meanwhile, felt a momentary craving to wrap her tail around Whisper not to stop herbut to cajole and encourage her. It was acting like a snake being charmed, completely mesmerized and willing to do anything for its mistress' approval. She could not fall for that, however, as she regained control of her own self, appendage included, and lowered the width of her hip circles so that she could change those into fast waist gyrations. Her belly stretched itself thin, going back and forth as if there flutters mixed in as she took one step forward. This was a contest, a battle of skills and beauty, of power and splendor and for her mistress she could not dare loseyet she also wanted Whisper to herself. An individual part of herself had been unlocked, the one which was increasingly charmed by the wolf gal as that body of hers grew only more marvelous with each passing second. Before, Tangle could say that Whisper was cute but nowshe was especially sexy.



Whisper could feel the slight hesitation, not just in Tangles expression as those spirals in her eyes slowed down, yet also began to change in color: in black and white this time around. Her motions, while excellent, indicated that there was something blocking their flow on occasion, an inner conflict. Those undulations turned into belly rolls as Whisper rotated her upper body forward, using her own ponytail as if she was brushing off the air quickly to regain the momentum to riseall without skipping a single roll. Her arms were serpentine, waving forward before going back in waves, her hands extensions of that fluid elongation as she took another step forward now that she was back to an upright position. Her rolls went a little faster with each step she took, having crossed more than half the distance separating them both until Tangles own tail went closerand she brushed it in a loving way with the tip of her fingers.



It was at that moment that Tangle could no longer realize how outclassed she was. It wasnt in dancing more than in power, the elation she felt with the wolf gal was simply too strong to even contend with the influence of the Tra-Ahn-Ce gem. While Rouges own beauty and hypnotic might had been a constant for Tangle, it also wasnt present right now and the lemurs own connection to Whisper worked at her disadvantage, resulting in Tangle getting closer while her motions became less challenging and more like a longing. She began to mimic those belly rolls, her feet a little less steady as she used her lower back and little more, her own tail getting in the way as the merest contact from the wolf gal gave her goosebumps in the best of ways. There was ever the specter of the divine bat within her psychebut Whisper was very much there and particularly enticing to behold.



The spirals in Tangles eyes had been changed, now completely black and white as Whisper felt an immense satisfaction coming from this development. The gem itself fed her delight, which she accepted as it powered her and gave her a newfound self-assurance that she couldnt help but bask in, to show off in the most sensual of ways. She took a slightly wider step forward and twirled all the while, going for a slow hip circle while she wrapped up that tail around her shoulders. It gave Tangle the opportunity to indeed immobilize and stop herbut she knew the lemur had lost herself in this hypnotic dance. The euphoria of being the center of attention, of being irresistible got to her. It was intoxicating, completely fascinating and as she took another step fused with a twirl to unwrap the tail she gyrated her waist and then closed the distance with Tangle, moving a single finger beneath her friends chin as the lemur was limping, smiling and completely helpless under her dancing spell.



You are mine~ Whisper said, surprising herself by going for ownership of the lemur instead of what she initially thought. She realized this and somehow was tempted not to correct herself, yet Whisper was longing for friends, not slaves, and thus she did amend what she just declared while Tangle stared at her lovingly, hypnotic spirals and submission in her eyes and body language. Which means you are free now. Awaken from your trance.



Hearing the command of her new mistress, the lemur gal closed her eyes, being caught by Whisper before she could fall onto the ground. Tangle felt like she had the best night of sleep in her life, even feeling calm without worrying about any other things. Once she opened her eyes, Tangle noticed that she was in the arms of her best friend.



Whisper? What are you doing here? she asked, having no recollection of what she had done during those past months. The wolf gal gave her a moment to regain her consciousness now that she wasnt entranced anymore, returned back to her jovial old self. Your clothes she began to say once she looked at the belly dancer outfit of Whisper, noticing her own just moments after.



At that moment, everything made sense, why her mind was blank and feeling that relaxed. Still, she needed to be sure. Did Sonic and I? Tangle started, yet Whisper stopped her before she could continue, knowing what she was going to ask. Whisper told her the truth: she and Sonic tried to stop Rouge, but both failed and were turned into her slaves, she even was part of the Harem Squad and had been responsible for hypnotizing many other members of the resistance.



Her confusion turned into guilt, as Tangle always believed in good triumphing over evil and the idea that she was one of those responsible for the downfall of the resistance made her feel utterly terrible. Whisper gave her a moment to process the news, to digest these hard-to-stomach facts. This cant beno, this cant be true, Tangle replied in denial, yet as the wolf gal did her best to calm her friend down Tangle continued to hyperventilate.



Fearing that others might arrive on the scene, Whisper had to do something that she didnt want in the slightest. I order you to act calm and to stop yelling, Whisper commanded, regretting using her own hypnotic powers upon her friend, who moments ago had been freed from Rouges spell. The spirals came back for a moment before Tangle went back to normal, managing to get a grip on herself due to this impulse to obey that was still within.How do you feel?



Im justI cant believe this. We lost the lemur gal said while looking down, having a hard time deciding which was worse: that the group of heroes had been defeated or that she was part of its downfall. Whichever it was, she felt guilty and her spirit was broken. While she wasnt in any condition to come up with a plan, Whisper had an inherent feeling which she simply had to share.



The cards might not be in our favor, but there is a chance we could save everyone.



Looking at her friend, who had her normal clothes come back magically, Tangle was surprised to hear that there was indeed some way to course-correct things. During my time with the Breezies side of the resistance, we found out about this gem that I now wear. Thanks to the information we got, we know that it has the same kind of hypnotic powers as the Tra-Ahn-Ce gem. Our last hope is to infiltrate into the Rouges palace and to break her free from its power.



Tangle was impressed by the chance meeting of several elements that made this possible, yet even if she still felt guilty and feared going back in a state of trance in Rouges proximitythe plan was good. Whisper wanted to explain more, but she quickly told her friend that they needed to find shelter since Rouge might have sent her squad to look for them. As the lemur and wolf walked away from the forest, they failed to notice that they had been spied upon by someone during all this time.



The mistress will love to hear this. Espio said beneath his breath, as he stopped using his camouflage ability before walking to the temple where the Dah-Zeh gem once was located. After confirming that Whisper indeed took it, he needed to secure a moment and a place to make a call, to inform her of this development.



Back at her new palace, which was the Breezies casino, Rouge was seeing most of the men putting furniture and decorations in her new special room, which used to be the office where Breezie had been hypnotized. Before she could take a sip from her much-needed drink after such efforts, her butler stood at attention to inform of her recent developments. Yes, dear?



Divine mistress, I have news for you. The wolf got the other gem. Not only that, but it looked like she freed Tangle from her own hypnotic state, Silver stated, expecting his mistress to be angry or react badly upon Espios report, but was only left confused after she started to giggle. Was it something he said? Did she not take this news seriously? He was left in the dark, but it wasnt a bad thing as she looked at him not with a scowl, but with a smile.



Thank you for your help, I was actually expecting this to happen. Dont worry about them, let them have their moment of hope. Soon they will be on their knees and craving for me to dance, to make them know the bliss of mindless servitude, she said before taking a sip of her drink. Rouge felt confident that whatever Whisper and the former leader of her Harem Squad would do to stop her would fail. You can tell Espio to come back to the Casino Palace. For his service, I will tell Wave and Vanilla to dance personally for him during the whole night.



Thank you, my most divine mistress, Silver replied, rather intrigued as to what made her so confident, but all the same he could not really figure out anyone more wonderful or capable than his divine mistress. Hed just need to concentrate on delivering the good news to Espio and prepare a room for himalong with both Vanilla and Wave.



As Silver went on to make the call, Rouge started to laugh.Of course, she was aware that soon the duo would come back and try to stop her. The only thing she wasnt sure about was what kind of plan they had. Seeing it as an unimportant thing, Rouge decided to leave that for later and continue with her schedule. Silver, serve me two drinks. Sticks, bring me my favorite slave. Congratulate everyone for a job well done, allow for a few of the Harem Squad to entertain them as a reward. But now its time for me to dance for my own pleasure she ordered, Silver carrying out those commands alongside Sticks. It was important to make sure everyone would be happy, though especially her as she felt anticipation for what would come next.



A few minutes later, the butler came with the two drinks, served in special glasses from her collection. Sticks also came with her favorite slave of her mistress, which was also the one that she considered the most important: Sonic. Smiling after being close to the pretty bat, Silver gave the glasses to both of them while waiting for further commands.



I got the information that your dear friend Tangle is now against us. Seems to me that evil Whisper wants to stop me, she explained, seeing Sonic smile turning into a neutral expression, a reaction that greatly amused her. Giggling a bit after seeing how much he was worried about how it might all end, Rouge was ready to give him some more information before their dance. Dont worry, I assure you that they are no match for me. This dream will never end, trust me.



She said before commanding him to drink from the glass. Finishing their drinks, Silver picked up the glasses as he and Sticks left the place. In the solitude of the new dance room, Rouge ordered Sonic to sit on a nearby cushion before walking to her position, while also letting him have a nice view of her hips.



Tangle and Whisper, a former harem girl and the last member of the resistance. Enjoy your time, because once I hypnotize both of youmy wishes shall be your commands, now and forever!
