"Did... did he just flex so hard that the moon...!? Oh, no, that's the moon from the Eclipse Cannon incedent? Are you certain?"

(Note: Considering the views in Unleashed and Colors, I'm pretty sure Sonic's world has more than one moon. Just a quick headcanon.)

Having stopped in a wide-open parking lot, Charm no longer had anywhere he could go but up; every street that surrounded him now was too small for his hips alone to breach, let alone his apocalyptically massive shoulders.

And so he paused his exploring to provide his workers with a delightful session of flexing, broadcast live on every available screen in the city, growing higher and higher towards the 50-feet mark as the cameras caught his good side

360 degrees.

Ah, yes, the workers.

Well, they did have quite a big job ahead of them. It wasn't every day that a city's entire population casually evacuated itself.

At this point, the King Bee formerly known as Charmy had swept his pheremones across the entirety of Central, bringing all who lived within into his fold. And so they moved in accordance with their lord's commands. Executive CEOs distributed travel fares from their own wallets to those in need. Gas stations waived fees. Vehicle drivers accepted total strangers into their open seats--though no members of the hive were truly strangers to one another.

Soon enough, a mass exodus of cars drove past as Charm flexed above them, shiny-black carapace-coated pectorals reflecting the light of the setting sun whilst his body--rumbling--swelled between a myriad of sizes with each flex. His arms became as big around as buildings whilst his height surpassed those buildings surrounding him.

From here, Charm was only looking to go up.

After all, being a King Bee is one thing. But a God Bee? Now THAT was a goal worth working towards.


(Side note: that shading was supposed to just be a quick experiment, but I loved it so much I left it in.)
