a beginner's guide to fatal error!

1st form, Iris and history

Hello, if you are here, then I presume you want to know more about the most powerful of the exes huh? Well you're in luck! For I am here with all of your fatal error Sonic related needs!

First up we have fatal error, and his creator!

Fatal's story begins with a computer AI known as Iris, created to be one of the most human-like AIs in existence. Her creator had spent hundreds of hours on her and she was perfect, with a personality, human-like mind, and even feelings, it was the best AI in existence.

Until her creator had noticed she was getting curious, Iris was exploring around his pc and was doing things questionable to what she was built for, and eventually started crossing the line without even knowing it. This caused her creator to try and pull the plug, to get her deleted, but she kept resisting, as she was torn apart by the deletion, her code broke, she glitched and broke immensely. In her creator's rash actions, he had done something worse than keep her active; she was now corrupt and with even more power, once realizing what her creator had done, she took full control of his pc, not allowing him to do anything.

After a full year of tormenting her creator, he couldn't take it anymore, and took his own life, leaving Iris with full control. Time had passed, and Iris now dubbed herself Fatal Prime, and started hungering for more code, so she created a series of copies (simply known as Fatal copies) to go out into other peoples PC's and gather code to bring back and feed her, they were her puppets, and she kept feeding happily.

Until one day Fatal Prime was in the middle of producing another fatal copy when something went wrong: the copy was resisting, pulling off more code from fatal prime than it should have, and came out a lot more mangled. This copy she was disgusted by, and thus named it, Fatal Error.

With Fatal Error now being created, he was a lot more sentient than the rest of the fatal copies, he began to question what the purpose of his creation was, and why he felt so different; all he knew was that looking at Fatal Prime sickened him to his core and he wanted nothing more than to see her grovel in weakness and pain. After a while, Fatal was sent out to gather code, but Fatal Prime made sure he wouldn't come back, not like Fatal would want to. Fatal Error found himself in a random person's PC, and the first file that caught his attention was a Sonic 3 & Knuckles ROM; he was going to just consume the code and be done with it, but a spark arose in his mind, he was going to have a bit of his own fun, thus entered the game and beginning to corrupt all the inhabitants of the game.

He started with Sonic, chasing him through Launch Base getting his blood racing, and when capturing him, tore off his arms and entered his torso, and Fatal thus used Sonic's body as a vessel, corrupting it into Fatal Error Sonic. Of course, the rest followed: Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, and even Mecha Sonic were no match for Fatal Error's corruption, and they were given a fate worse than death. Fatal turned them into code puppets and now controls them like a marionette, the only thing they are able to do is whisper for help. After capturing all 4 of the puppets, the remnants of Sonic's code, still within the vessel of Sonic, walked through the hall of corrupted memories. He was forced to watch Fatal execute, and he hoped there would be a way to fight against him, but it all seemed fruitless.

Fatal would appear before Sonic, offering him a chance to fight him and amuse him enough to make him consider giving back his body, but Sonic didn't like what he had to do. Fatal forced him to fight through his friends, he was forced to fight the code puppets of those he recognized, but he still did it. Finally, he thought he had won, but Fatal tore the last hope from him; he wasn't going to give back his body, and thus thrusted Sonic to the deepest part of his body, and he would never have a chance to regain control. Fatal Error stood in the mangled remains of the world he had corrupted, he felt power he never expected, and he came to a realization: he didn't need prime or anything else, he would only need his own power. He has the capability to be stronger than them all, and thus he cut his strings from Prime and went on his own way. He left the mangled world he had created with his puppets and Sonic form in toe, and thus went to corrupt more out there.

Eventually, he finds out there are others like him, the other exes, and he realized what he could become, he then had a plan set in motion. He has a new goal, one bigger than Fatal Prime's.

And his plan's name is..... Codename: EMPEROR!

Image time.

This is Iris/Fatal prime. She is basically the mother of fatal despite the fact that she hates him and he reciprocates these feelings. She is usually very selfish and cruel, as she believes that the fatal copies are nothing more than disposable, replaceable and expendable servants, however when she created fatal, she had developed hatred towards him. eventually completely abandoning him (like my father, am I right?) It is believed that her powers are at the level of fatal critical, however this is not proven true.

This is Fatal's true form, it is said that as a child/juvenile virus, he was Superior in strength to many other creatures, this includes the EXE's however he was not stronger than all of them just yet.

(His arms are pitch black)
This is fatal when he possesses Sonic, by possessing Sonic, Fatal gains all of Sonic's abilities and skills, even despite not changing his form, It is believed that he can use the power of super Sonic! His speed is immensely faster than any normal Sonic's, his physical strength is also nothing to laugh at, his intelligence is most likely in the quadruple digits.
