Creepypasta Land Playlist: A wild 'Sonic.exe' appears! So this game just gets better.
Let me just say this first: I love Nintendo, so why is it that I am talking about Sonic? It's not that I hate SEGA, quite the opposite actually. I like some of their games, just not Sonic as much. It's just Sonic's not quite the cute hedgehog you know. Before I begin, the name's John.
It all started when I was playing old games on my emulator. Just as I was going about a level in Super Mario Bros. 3, the doorbell rang and my controls slipped.
Mario died by falling into a pit. Slightly frustrated, I went to the door to see who was there. Upon opening the door, I saw that there was no one.
I figured someone just wanted to fuck with me, so I closed the door. I suddenly felt myself trip over something, and found that what I tripped over was a package box! Needless to say, I was confused. That package wasn't there before!
Either way, I opened it up and found a CD disc, labeled with text in marker, 'Round 3.' The disc came with a note, which read: 'John, You gotta help me, please! This disc contains a nightmare game, a sick twisted game! Quick, destroy the disc! I have suffered from a horrible nightmare for days because of it! I beg of you, John!
Don't play the disc! If you do, I send my prayers to you, you can't beat him! He's too fast, he's too powerful and most of all he's too demonic!
I want to die, but he's already gonna kill me! It's too late for me now!
He's already caught me right about now please, John destroy the disc Just do it Harley' Weird. I never saw my girlfriend throughout this last week. Either way, it was nice to have a new game.
When I put the disc in my computer, a file came up. It was labeled 'Rouge.exe.'
Rouge, as in Rouge the Bat? I remember my two friends Tom and Kyle, two big Sonic fans, drooling all over that bitch. I played the application, out of curiosity, thinking it was all just a prank by my GF to scare me. That's where things started to go wrong. The first screen appeared.
It was on a black background with blue text saying 'SEGA.' A chorus sang the text in a deep tone. After it was done it faded out, and some text appeared: 'Up for Round 2?' Suddenly, three scratch marks suddenly appeared over the number 2 as a pixelated crunch sounded, making the text read 'Up for Round III?' I was perplexed by this, was this what the disc title meant by 'Round 3?' The title screen appeared.
As expected, it was a Sonic game. However, the whole thing was anything BUT normal: The sky was dark grey with dull black clouds. The mountains were decayed and so was the logo. 'SEGA 1991' was now replaced with 'SEGA 666' and the water was a bloody red. The title music didn't play either.
It was just a mess of sounds, the demonic 'SEGA!' Occasionally mixed in. And of course, Rouge was in the emblem, with a curious look on her face.
I pressed enter, and the screen froze and then cut to black. An opening text appeared. 'The girls are now all dead, because they couldn't escape HIM' 'But Rouge was going to live.' It cut to what looked like a demonic Sonic, but I could barely see it. It was only there for a split second before the slow SEGA jingle played again. I was so confused about that opening cutscene. A level title appeared: 'Green Hill Zone Act 1.'
Of course, I was playing as Rouge in the classic green island stage, with flowers, palm trees, and robots. The level had lots of springs, platforms and such. I noticed that Rouge had an air-glide move and could climb onto walls. She could also do a move called the 'spin dash,' I think, which was when she charged into a ball and dashed forward quickly. I cleared the first stage with ease. The second level was labeled 'Hill Act 2.' The level was similar to the first except it was just one long piece of land with trees and flowers.
Suddenly, as I approached the middle of the stage, I saw a bunch of dead animals! I gagged when I saw them, and I noticed that Rouge now looked worried. When she remained still, she looked at me and pointed right nervously. Soon, I came up to an orange fox laying in blood: Tails, from what I could remember. When Rouge went up to him, however, the game seemed to freeze, and a buzzing noise was heard as a gray version of Tails appeared on the left side of the screen. Then, some text appeared. 'Error: failed to respawn character 'TAILS' 'RESTART' The SEGA screen came again.
Then the title screen. Tails was at the right side of the logo now. Only now he had his form from before the 'error' screen. He had gray fur and light blue eyes now. I pressed enter again, and, expecting I'd have to go through the same level as before, I actually got a totally different one: 'In the Dark, Act 4' it said.
Rouge was now in what looked like a dark temple, gray everywhere. After a few minutes of running I noticed a pink hedgehog laying face down in the ground, and when I touched her, the game 'froze' again. Then the message appeared again: 'Error: failed to respawn character 'AMY' 'RESTART' SEGA screen again.
Then the title screen again. Amy was under Tails, and she had a grotesque look on her. Her eyes were melting and her fur was darker.
I hit enter again, and another new level appeared: 'You Can't Run, Act 0.' Rouge was now in an industrial factory with a dark red sky as the background. I moved her rightward a few seconds, then my ears were assaulted with a distorted laugh as blood appeared on the ground. I found a dark cloud at the end of the screen, holding a red character. When I touched it, the game froze again. 'Error: failed to respawn character 'KNUCKLES' 'RESTART' Another character gone. The SEGA screen appeared again, then the title screen.
Knuckles was at the left side, with dark crimson eyes and he had two metallic pieces jammed into his head. I pressed enter again. 'Hope, Despair and Nightmares, Act ' was the new level. Rouge was in a castle-like dungeon with black torches on the side. The music was Hill Act 2's but not reversed.
I moved her down two sets of stairs before coming up to Dr. Robotnik laying down on his back, dead. I touched him and his glitchy form appeared on the left, the game froze, then 'Error: failed to respawn character 'DR. ROBOTNIK' 'RESTART' SEGA screen again, then title screen.
Robotnik was under Knuckles. He was gray, with cracked glasses. I pressed enter and got another new level. 'Not Perfect, Act 1.' I was in the classic green island stage again, except it was just one long piece of land with trees and flowers, with some slight slopes, and no background.
A flickering silver ring at the end, dripping a strange red substance. Without hesitation, I jumped into it. I was transported to a new area, which was very dark, and had a rainbow-colored ground. I moved Rouge rightward to a red ring, dripping a cyan-colored substance. When I jumped into it, however, the game froze once again and a purple cat that looked like a ragdoll appeared on the far left of the screen. Text appeared again: 'Error: failed to respawn character 'BLAZE' 'RESTART' After that, the SEGA screen appeared once again, though it was slightly glitched, as the logo seemed to be slightly cut in half now. The jingle was the same though.
The title screen returned, only now Blaze, in her ragdoll form, was at the side where Tails was. I pressed enter again. 'Night of Doom, Act 2' it said. Rouge was now in a dark, stormy, city-like area. I moved her around though the city.
It was simple, but there were no rings to keep Rouge alive. At the end of the level, the game froze YET AGAIN and I saw a pink hedgehog on the far left. I couldn't make out who it was though but I did soon enough: 'Error: failed to respawn character 'SONIA' 'RESTART' The SEGA screen appeared again, only it was more glitched and cut up than before, and the music sounded broken as well. The title screen appeared again, only Sonia was where Amy was. I pressed enter again, this time getting a level called 'Kind and Fair, Act 3.' Rouge was now in a carnival-style level.
I moved her along lots of loops quickly, until I came to a spike pit. That spike pit had an adorable little bunny torn to shreds. The moment I touched her, a purple version of the bunny appeared at the left as the game froze again. 'Error: failed to respawn character 'CREAM' 'RESTART' The SEGA logo appeared once again damn this was getting repetitive.
The logo was now more cut up than before. The title screen appeared. Cream was where Knuckles was. She had a dead eye, which was covered by her purple ear. I pressed enter and got another new level: ' Act 9' was the level.
This had all the characters in their title screen forms, as well as Sonic in a twisted way. He was darker, and had bleeding eyes. Those eyes were pitch black with glowing red dots. I moved Rouge to the center, but then she got no further.
A glitchy chipmunk appeared and the game froze once again. 'Error: failed to respawn character 'SALLY' 'RESTART' To my surprise, it cut back to gameplay, instead of going to the SEGA screen. The level was the same as before, but Sonic was missing.
The distorted laugh played (at normal volume, thank god), and a drowned-out version of the original 'Act 9' music was playing as the top slowly began to come down. I began to panic. I pushed Rouge against the walls and tried to get her out of there, to no avail. I tried spin dashing, but that did no good either.
I crouched Rouge down, waiting for the end But it never came. I got Rouge up as the top stopped moving. I thought I was safe But I was wrong. A few messages appeared on the top: 'Having fun, Rouge?' 'I hope so, because now' 'You're forever trapped in this one room' 'And you will have to watch as time slowly runs out' A slow, suspenseful music began playing. It made me panic again as a final message appeared at the top in red: 'ANY LAST WORDS?' I tried to get Rouge out of there as much as I could, but nothing worked.
Suddenly, Sonic appeared on the left side of the screen, with his scary eyes, crouching down. A faint overlay of red static covered the screen when he appeared.
As the music abruptly ended, Sonic lunged forward and attacked Rouge. A loud scream was heard as another message appeared. 'Error: failed to respawn character 'ROUGE' 'RESTART' I couldn't believe it.
Rouge was gone. I buried my face in my hands as the distorted SEGA played again, only it was more echoed and broken than ever. The title screen appeared again, only now MANY things were changed. The sky and water were now black, 'SEGA 666' was now '111111 AAAA,' the logo had been recolored to dark purple, gold and black, and the music changed into a slow, wavy tune. What disturbed me the most was Rouge.
She now had dark purple on her clothing and makeup, her eyes became similar to the creepy Sonic's, and she now had sharp fangs. I just pressed enter again, hoping for something more to happen And it did, but not in the way I expected. A character select opened up, unlike the last few times. There was a red, distorted background and there were four characters, who were labeled underneath with text: 'Mighty,' 'Silver,' 'Tikal,' and 'Shadow.'
The music was some kind of wind with buzzing noises in it. I selected Mighty first. An evil but somewhat seductive female laugh played. I figured it must be Rouge. 'Marble Hill Ruins, Act 1,' was the first new level.
Mighty was in what appeared to be a bunch of purple ruins. I moved him rightward and started smashing robots. I had fun platforming in this level! (A/N: It's Marble Zone Act 1 from Sonic 1) After all that, I saw three figures, Sonic, Sally and Rouge, with their eyes closed on the right of the screen at the end.
Mighty then spoke in a text box: Mighty: Hey Sonic! But then he noticed that they weren't responding.
Mighty: Guys? Mighty walked towards them slowly and extended his hand to Sonic. As he touched him, the screen immediately cut to black. A message appeared. 'Welcome to our world. A place full of illusion.'
Another new level: 'Ruins, Act 2.' When the screen faded in, the ruins were now more ruined than before. Where it was purple, it was now gray, and the grass was a sickly yellow too. The sky had also darkened. The music from part 1 of this level had been slowed down, lowered in pitch, and put in reverse for this new level. Mighty: W-what happened? Well, I might as well explore this place a little bit As I moved Mighty right along this flat piece of ground, I noticed figures dead on the ground, which included a yellow flying squirrel in spikes, a robot version of Sonic pulled apart, and two half orange, half brown animals.
The first was a racoon with its head ripped off, the second was a badger with a slit throat. This massacre was worse than when I was playing as Rouge in Hill Act 2! Mighty gasped and gagged at the next three corpses: a purple charmeleon, a big crocodile, and a tiny bee. Mighty: Oh no the Chaotix they're dead Mighty slowly walked past them, feeling afraid.
When he idled, he looked at me and pointed right, like Rouge did in Hill Act 2. I wasted no time in making Mighty move right. There were no obstacles or enemies in this darker take on the Marble Hill Ruins. As I kept Mighty moving, I noticed 'Sonic,' fade in behind Mighty twice, but he vanished before he touched Mighty. I wondered if he was really there or a figment of Mighty's imagination. Suddenly, 'Sonic' appeared in physical form, flying from the right! He touched Mighty, but the worst was yet to come.
The screen cut out for a literal second before cutting back, only now the ruins were on fire. The music had changed to something very cold, unpleasant and evil indeed. Mighty: OH MY GOD THERE'S FIRE!!! I made Mighty run as fast as he could through the burning ruins.
He came up to three characters, the purple charmeleon, the crocodile, and the bee from before, though now they were alive for some reason. Mighty: Espio, Charmy, Vector?!
I thought someone killed you! Espio: Mighty it's not safe here, my friend Vector and Charmy: Just run Suddenly, 'Sally' and 'Rouge' came in from the right and dragged the Chaotix offscreen. 'Sonic' came from the left and attacked Mighty, and then the dreaded 'error' message appeared again, only slightly different. The only fun for the devil will die.' This message was confusing, and I still don't know what it means. After a while it faded to black, and the SEGA screen appeared again, only now it was just 3 upside-down A's in the SEGA style.
The jingle was very loud, and I could see the A's slightly flickering to black a bit. It faded back to the title screen. Everything was now shades of red, and the logo was cut up just like the SEGA logo, with no character at all. The 111111 AAAA was back as well. The music was a slowed down fusion of both music tracks from the title screens of before. I didn't know when this game would end, so I just hit enter. The screen faded out yet again.
YET ANOTHER new level: '4th Wall Act 0.' The screen opened up to reveal me playing as Sonic!
He was standing in a lush, forest like area. Up ahead were Sally, Rouge, and Shadow, in their normal forms smiling. I moved Sonic past them, but he had not went past Shadow a bit when suddenly the game froze again, and what do you know: 'Error: failed to respawn character 'SONIC' 'RESTART' After a few seconds, glowing red eyes appeared, and the 'RESTART' message turned into 'DIE' Then it cut back to gameplay. I was shocked, it was a huge change. Sonic was now smaller and had an 8-bit form to his sprite.
Everything had disappeared, the HUD, forest background, everything. Sonic was just standing in darkness. I turned back to the other characters, but in their place was a creepy Sonic wearing a bloody mask pointing right. I figured I had no choice but to move Sonic right, which I did. As I did, I heard a childish voice cry out, 'SONIC!' I didn't know who it was. The childish voice asked 'Sonic?'
A new voice was heard. It was deep and very familiar. It said 'Hello. Do you want to play with me?' I realized that it was the demonic Sonic at once.
I heard a muffled voice, then flashes of Tails screaming appeared on the screen. The childish voice screamed in agony before subsiding into silence. I had then realized the screaming was Tails'. The demonic voice laughed and said, 'You're too slow. Want to try again?'
Sonic began moving faster now. I then heard a giggly girl's voice say, 'I found you, my darling Sonic!'
Mere seconds later, I saw a spike pit in the background. Amy fell from the top screaming. Just before she landed in the spikes, however, the spikes scrolled to the left, and so did Amy. The demon's voice laughed and said 'Do you think, you can escape? I could do this all day!'
'You are one sick fuck' I chuckled nervously as I kept Sonic moving. I heard the demon say 'Found you, Knuckles' Then I heard an angry man's voice, apparently Knuckles' voice, speak, 'I don't know what’s gotten into you, and I don't care! You're gonna pay for what you did to Tails and Amy!' I found Knuckles running in the background to the left. A wall of spikes was chasing him.
The spikes caught up to Knuckles and tore his head off his body. Knuckles screamed for a split second when the spikes touched him and they all disappeared.
After that, I heard the demon say 'So many souls to play with, so little time. Would you agree?' Jesus, whoever made this was insane. Then again, the game knew my name, so it could be something more maybe even something horrifying. One major question still remained, asking itself over and over and over again like a broken record.
Each time was louder than the last: Was this game made by human hands? I saw Eggman, Blaze, Sonia, Cream and Sally running in the background, but then they all screamed and fell, as apparently, the ground disappeared in the background. I heard the demonic voice whisper the most horrifying phrase of all: 'I' 'AM' 'GOD.' As the demon said that, I noticed the screen start to get darker, so that I could barely see Sonic now.
Suddenly, a familiar demonic figure appeared, then a cutscene began with textboxes: Sonic: What's going on?! Demon Sonic: Welcome to your doom, SMS Sonic! Sally, Rouge, Shadow and I are very happy to have you here as our guest. SMS Sonic: What is this place? Demon Sonic: That doesn't matter. What matters is that you're in my world now! SMS Sonic: What are you talking about?
Demon Sonic: Silly hedgehog. Take a good look at yourself!
A mirror fell from the top of the screen and showed a SMS Sonic that had gray eyes in black pupils. Slowly, the non-mirror SMS Sonic changed into the mirror form. The demon Sonic snapped his head toward the screen. 'You can't control them now, John,' he said. I got freaked by this. Sonic had spoken my name!
I knew deep down that he wasn't the real Sonic, and that's when this happened: 'I know you know that I'm not Sonic.' How did he hear my THOUGHTS?! I then decided to ask him something: 'W-who are you?' I stuttered nervously. 'I AM EXETIOR.'
The demon told me. 'Now it's time for you to know how it feels to be CONTROLLED.' The screen faded out after that. The title screen immediately returned. It was the same as before, only now the shades of red were now dark blue. I hit enter, and it cut to black with Exetior's laugh.
The final level loaded at last. No act title, just the text 'Act 666' and the red oval. The level opened up and I was playing as nothing? My character was just a pink block. I noticed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen that this was labeled as 'USER.' The level was the green island stage, but it was all dark blue now, like the title screen.
Some of the palm trees were stained with a dark red on the end of their leaves. The checkerboard dirt was also shaded with red. The music started off slowly, but eventually, it was revealed to be the music track from Hill Act 2.
The dark blue island was nothing but a long piece of ground extending in two ways: left and right. One way was endless, so was the other way. No obstacles, enemies, nothing but an endless flat ground with flowers and trees. The music suddenly started to speed up! I could only watch as User ran faster and faster down the island. Text appeared at the bottom: 'Exetior: Do ya wanna be fast, do ya wanna be like ME?'
I noticed the time start to speed up, a 'minute' turned into seconds flying. When the timer reached 35 minutes it suddenly began to slow down. By 40 minutes, the game stopped completely. I thought it had crashed but something was wrong.
I heard the 'Hope, Despair and Nightmares' theme start up slowly as the game began to how do I put it? The game began to 'rewind' User's movements and the timer started counting down.
I then noticed the bottom text had changed into this: 'Exetior: You should care more about your time, you know.' Just as the timer hit zero minutes and seconds, all the exe's, as well as Exetior, said in text: 'YOUR TIME IS OVER.' And for the final time, this appeared: 'Error: failed to respawn character 'USER' 'END OF ROUND 3' Then my computer blue-screened. The disc ejected from the tray, all melted and hot.
I got gloves on and threw it away. But when I got back inside, a dark surprise was waiting for me 'Now I can watch you for my master, darling' I gasped when I saw a Rouge plush on my bed. She had purple makeup and clothing, and her eyes were black sockets with glowing red eyes. The sockets were bleeding, and the plush also had vampire-like fangs. I threw the plush out the window instantly, where it vanished.
Guess Harley was right all along. God rest her soul. To avenge all who have died at the hands of the monster, I send my greatest thanks to whoever destroys Exetior's discs.
Whatever you do, if you play the game by mistake, shut that shit off, and DESTROY IT IMMEDIATELY. Here's to stopping Exetior.
FINALLY GOT THIS DONE! This is my take on Rouge.exe, based off of the game by, Zerty.exe 4 by, and a few other things. Just so knows, this is my take, not a written version of his version.
