Malware Sonic

The Tale ||

There were once two friends. These two friends decided one day that they wanted to create a fake Sonic game to trick people into downloading a virus so they could get a few laughs out of other people’s stupidity. They only made a single level; you could play as Sonic while a horribly functioning Tails AI followed you around. It was short and stupid, with barely any enemies, basic platforming, and no iconic Sonic stuff: loop-da-loops, springs, rings, you know the deal. They uploaded the purposefully defective game to the internet and waited. Two months later, one of the developers got an exciting email titled, “HEY !!! PLEASE CHECK DIS OUT !! I WANT TO TELL U SOMETHING !“ Once the developer opened the email, a download started, and they immediately lost control of the computer; nothing responded. Suddenly, a familiar game started up; it was the virus game they had made two months ago. The title screen showcased the slightly misscolored Sonic looking at the viewer, playfully moving his finger like the original Sega Genesis one. Then, the game froze, and a pop-up error message appeared on the screen. “THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME ! I’VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF FUN”, then another pop-up message, “I WONDER… WOULD YOU MIND IF I TOOK CONTROL OVER HERE ? I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO”. Out of nowhere, a bunch of annoying, high-pitched noises that barely resembled laughter were emitted from the computer, and tons of files were deleted or modified in ways that rendered them unusable. The computer started opening up random images and replacing them with a corrupted version of “Sonic’s” sprite sheet in the virus game, and various pop-up messages started showing up, repeating the same phrase over and over: “THIS IS GREAT ! THANK YOU AGAIN !”. So many things were happening on screen that the developers could only watch in awe; they just couldn’t believe that they created this, or at least helped create it. While the computer was submerged in a chaotic mess of corrupted files.

Personality ||

Pretty possessive, uncaring, but still loving. Obsessive, more like a lovesick and yandere malware. That's all l'm gonna tell ya.
