Summary[]
X, better known as Sonic.exe, is the antagonist of the 2017 Creepypasta "Sonic.exe - THE REMAKE", an official remake of the original 2011 version of the character.
In this version, X is an interdimensional demonic lifeform who apparently had an obsession with Sonic, as such, taking his form. With the help of the Cult of X, he entraps people in his world via a link with the game, so that he can play with them forever, which is how he comes face-to-face with Thomas and his friends.

- Fire Manipulation (Caused Tails to catch fire[18])
- Metal Manipulation (Created a barbed wire to wrap around Tails' neck and kill him[19])
- Shapeshifting (It is assumed that he took a form similar to Sonic's due to his fascination with the character)
- Limited Technology Manipulation (Installing the game seems to cause strange effects on the performance of the computers where it is installed, such as the batery draining faster or the battery taking days to charge[20][21][22][23]. Caused Tom's computer to glitch and the screen to start distorting[24] His mere presence can cause several computers to start crashing and run out of power[25])
- Spatial Manipulation and Reality Warping (He is probably the creator of the deformed rooms[26] and rooms of wrong spatial and geometric logic[27] in his world. Able to warp and distort space, tearing apart reality, and passing through it as if it were a portal[28])

Can break the esophagus and the inside of the chest of people by sticking his hand down their throat to steal their soul[36][37][38][39][14][40]. Can easily overpower normal humans[41], and overpowered Mike[42], who was the champion of his class football team[43]. Able to send Tom flying casually with one hand[44].)
Speed: Average Human (He was dodged by Tom and his friends[45], who are mostly normal humans. He was easily outmatched by Tom another time[46], Mike managed to get in the way of X's attacks before they reach Vicky[47], and X was also unable to stop Tom from stabbing himself in the neck[48])
Lifting Strength: Class 10 (He casually pushed over a bookshelf full of books and trophies that Tom had dropped on top of him[49]. Can rip apart human jaws[50][51][52][37][53], which requires this amount of force)
Striking Strength: Street level
Durability: Street level (Only groaned slightly when Tom dropped a bookcase full of books and trophies on top of him[49])

Standard Equipment: Claws and sharp teeth
- Optional Equipment: SONIC.EXE Discs
Intelligence: At least Average (Somehow he manages to leave no conclusive clue behind his murders, committing murders that the police couldn't solve until Tom became aware of X's existence[54][55][56]. Although this was mostly because he had a lot of advantage in being able to easily escape through computers and therefore having less chance of leaving any clues. He seems to have minor manipulation skills[57][58])
Weaknesses: He is quite childish and seems to be obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog. His powers are weakened in our world[59]
Note: Avoid scaling Sonic.exe from Infinite the Jackal because of this statement coming from the comments section of this JC post. Sonic.exe being Low 2-C is absurdly inconsistent, as he has been hurt by things around 9-C constantly[60][61] and it is possible for 10-A characters to give he a brief fight despite being overpowered in the end[62].
Note 2: In this verse, souls are physical things, which even have mass[63]. For this reason, X will not get Non-Physical Interaction from touching them.
Note 3: This Sonic.exe is only scaled from his appearances in the 2017 remake created by Sir JC-the-Hyena. Do not attempt to scale him to the canonical version, the original versión, or any newer incarnations such as Xenophanes or Lord X.

- ↑ This is a story of such forces existing outside our world. A nameless darkness, a faceless evil, that hungers for humanity.
- ↑ "MY Home of course! where all the souls I've collected are at. To do whatever I want with, to mold and break as many times as I desire. An eternity of playing with me awaiting every single one of you humans!"
- ↑ Tom felt fear welling up inside himself that he had never felt before. He wasn't concerned for his avatar, Tails. He couldn't explain it, but he felt like he personally was in some kind of danger.
- ↑ Sonic took a step towards Tails. Tom then to his horror saw the black irises spreading over the creature's white eyes like holes crackling and increasing in size until the eyes were completely black, his smile widened more and Tom could see the creature had fangs. Large, sharp fangs, more fangs than what would normally fit in one's mouth. This was not Sonic. Tom immediately made Tails run from the creature as it continued to transform, as he did so he saw the look of terror on Tails' own face. Tom didn't stop to look at the creature as it transformed, he didn't want to see it.

Large, sharp fangs, more fangs than what would normally fit in one's mouth.
- ↑ Tom then screamed as the doll head suddenly creeped up from the side of the screen dangerously up close, obscuring what was happening to Tails and looking directly at Tom. He could see the smile was becoming more real, and opening up to show those huge fangs.
- ↑ and an unnaturally wide smile, more fangs than there should be in his mouth...
- ↑ The creature then began to reach a hand towards them, as if he was planning to grab them, and Tom could see his hand was black, ending in long, sharp claws.
- ↑ Tall, lanky, with long thin arms and legs that appeared to be stretching into black sharp claws
- ↑ He had to get as far away from this thing, this monster... Tom had made Tails enter a hotel, desperately looking for a place to hide. But then when he opened one door and ran inside, to Tom's surprise, he had ended up someplace entirely different. He could see flames burning all around Tails. This time he was in a large forested area, fire everywhere. As Tom moved the camera to observe the inferno all around him, he could see the trauma and despair on Tails' face, refusing to come more toward the flames no matter how much Tom made him move.
- ↑ He watched as instead of going up one of the stairs, the stairs looked like they were going sideways instead of up, towards a door that looked like it was upside down. After opening the door, Tom and his friends became even more confused as Sally had entered another completely different room, this one not as distorted or many-angled, but instead he entered a dilapidated street.
- ↑ He noticed, poking out from a bush, what appeared to be Sonic's head, except pale, dark-furred, and with an odd looking face. The eyes are now just tiny black pinprick dots, and the smile was just a wide, black, curved line, like someone had drawn it on there with a marker or crayon. Tom looked at the head in confusion. It seemed rather surreal. The way the head looked was like it could've been the head of a Sonic doll. The head rose up and Tom saw it ended on a thin, pitch black tendril of sorts, rising up from the ground like some kind of flower.
- ↑ The creature was in the projector screen, facing a brick wall, his back towards Tom and his friends, and Sally was nowhere to be seen. This confused Tom as the projector screen was running perfectly fine even though his laptop screen was getting eaten up by pure glitch. "Hey, it's Sonic!" Mike spoke up. "Why are his arms blue?" Roger asked, a look of concern on his face. The creature's head slowly turned....and turned....and turned until it was looking directly behind him, looking at Tom and his friends who were now looking at this creature face to face.
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 A monstrous, snarling rattle was heard as the creature slowly began to pull his entire head back, and Tom and his friends watched as his mouth began to stretch more and more open. The fangs more exaggeratedly popping out, Alana screamed as she looked into the vast maw, and for a moment Tom thought the creature was going to eat her... ...But then the hands came out. From within the creature's extremely wide maw, Tom saw hands immediately snake their way out. Long, black, writhing. As many shadowy hands grabbed a hold of the screaming Alana, Tom could also hear Vicky screaming in terror. A few of the hands grabbed Alana's arms, shoulders and neck, while another pair was working with her mouth. Alana shrieked and struggled to keep her mouth shut, but the hands latched onto her jaws and began to force her mouth open. Tom's brain was jamming as he helplessly watched the hands pull her mouth open, the sound of bones snapping. Alana's body convulsed as an extra hand forced it's way down her throat, disgusting sounds of flesh tearing and squishing inside her.
- ↑ The doll head then split almost in half as its mouth opened up, an unearthly snarl was heard as the multitude of arms springing out once more, this time for Tom and his friends.
- ↑ An unnatural growl was heard once more in combination to Vicky's screams of terror. Tom could only scream in despair as he watched the monster sadistically lift Vicky up with the many arms that shot out of his mouth, holding her in place to pull open her own.
- ↑ The doll head spoke in the creature's voice, except now it's voice had changed, it was much more young, much more like a child's, and Tom could see that even though it spoke, its mouth didn't move at all.
- ↑ "Liar, liar....PANTS ON FIRE." Suddenly, something erupted from the ground and wrapped itself around Tails' neck. The fox yelped in pain as Tom realized that it was barbed wire. Tails clawed desperately at his own neck to remove the wire as it tightly wrapped around it, his neck starting to bleed as he choked and cried. While this was going on, fire began to spread around him until he was engulfed in it. Tom could do nothing but watch as the poor fox child writhed and screamed in the flames.
- ↑ Suddenly, something erupted from the ground and wrapped itself around Tails' neck. The fox yelped in pain as Tom realized that it was barbed wire. Tails clawed desperately at his own neck to remove the wire as it tightly wrapped around it, his neck starting to bleed as he choked and cried.
- ↑ The weekend came again after that. That Friday night, Tom was alone in his room on his computer studying while Kyle's laptop was still busy charging up. It seemed like it was taking a very long time to get to full power, and there were times Tom had to remove the charger plug in order to keep his own fully charged. Right now Kyle's laptop was at 11% power, not enough to do much on it.
- ↑ The first thing was the X icon on his screen. He was sure it became slightly bigger than the last time he saw it. The next was his battery, his battery was originally a good 95% when he played the game last night, but now it was at 36%. This confused Tom, because a computer battery wasn't supposed to go down go down when the computer was turned off. However, he assumed it was just a minor fluke and paid it no mind. Turning his laptop off, he looked at Kyle's. Still at 11% like he left it, so he decided to unplug his charger from his laptop and plugged it into Kyle's to charge it. After that, he got up and turned on the TV to watch some anime while he waited for Green to show up.
- ↑ Derek motioned to the computer laying on the floor, it's screen black and cracked. "In every single one of the murder we've investigated, we've also noticed that the victims' computers are also damaged in some way. Usually with laptops it's just the screen being damaged and the battery completely dead."
- ↑ And three, the computers were ending up broken during the time of murder, with their screens cracked and their batteries dead.
- ↑ Just then, Tom's screen froze and suddenly started to glitch and distort. It also started to heat up at an alarming rate, withdrawing his hands from it he looked up at the projector screen, his heart momentarily stopping the minute he looked. The creature was in the projector screen, facing a brick wall, his back towards Tom and his friends, and Sally was nowhere to be seen. This confused Tom as the projector screen was running perfectly fine even though his laptop screen was getting eaten up by pure glitch.
- ↑ As the creature walked closer to them, the computers that were near him started to go haywire, and Tom saw, to his surprise, that they started to shut-down due to the batteries running out of power.
- ↑ Roger then spoke up. "Go through that door!" Tom looked up to see Roger was pointing at a door right next to Sally on his left. Tom moved to the door and had Sally open it, Sally had entered a strange room, it was a large room, except it seemed....Distorted. Furniture looked like they were slanted or twisted, deformed, and on the walls and ceiling, both of which seemed crooked and bent in bizarre ways. If Tom wasn't unnerved by the whole experience, he would have assumed this room would have belonged to a fun house at a carnival. Tom heard Mike comment with a loud, "duuude, this is fuckin' awesome!" as he had Sally explore the distorted room for another door.
- ↑ Tom and his friends were in shock. The room Sally had entered was not the room he was in before. It was a disturbing looking room, far more surreal than the distorted room from earlier. Spacious, many-angled, the spatial or geometrical logic of this room was completely wrong. Tom had felt like he was looking at M.C. Esher's "Relativity" painting with this room, with the stairs and doorways all being in places they couldn't, shouldn't, have been in. "Whaaaaa the fuuuuck...?" Mike exclaimed breathlessly, looking at the strange sight of the room Sally was currently in. "Weren't we just in that fun house room not too long ago??" "This is getting goddamn freaky...I dunno if we should keep playing this guys..."
- ↑ The space on the wall began to distort and deform, as if its very reality was being torn to shreds as something very large moved it's way out. What stepped into the computer lab from the distortion on the wall made Tom's skin freeze up and his friends recoil.
- ↑ The creature then began to reach a hand towards them, as if he was planning to grab them, and Tom could see his hand was black, ending in long, sharp claws. "Tom, turn it off! TURN IT OFF!" Roger screamed, and as everyone was backing away and screaming in terror Tom began to see why. The hand looked like it was actually coming out of the projection screen towards them! In a moment of fright and instinct, Tom lunged toward his laptop and slammed his finger onto the power button regardless of how hot the computer was, shutting it down as he unplugged it from the projector, which also turned off. The giant black clawed hand that was in the room with them was gone.
- ↑ As it continued to play, two red dots appeared in the darkness of the hallway and Tom froze. He watched in horror as the false Sonic creature that had been tormenting him these past weeks walked into view, smiling that wide, sharp-fanged smile as he came closer, closer still. Tom stumbled onto the floor and crawled back and watched as the creature walked closer to the screen until his head was all that was visible. And then he raised a hand, and then the screen began to distort and deform, reality being torn and twisted as the creature began to climb his way out. The creature crawled on all fours as he crawled out of Kyle's laptop, never taking his hungry, predatorial eyes off his latest prey.
- ↑ Tom and his friends shot their heads up to see the Sonic doll head danging from the ceiling, smiling down at them all as it swayed lazily like a pendulum under the black appendage it was attached to. The head spoke again without its smiling mouth moving.
- ↑ After Tom and Roger through an open set of double doors as they entered the cafeteria, the doors suddenly slammed shut and locked themselves, preventing Vicky from following them. "What the fuck?!" Tom shouted as he turned around to see the doors shut, he rushed back and tried to open them, but to no luck. Roger joined him. "Vicky, open the door!" "I'm trying!" Vicky wailed. She banged her fists on the door sobbing. "Let me in there!" "How the fuck did these close on their own?!" Roger demanded as he tried to kick the doors down. Tom froze.
- ↑ Tom sat back up, and slowly turned, to see Kyle's laptop. It had fully charged. He immediately felt the urge to destroy it too, but before he could even raise the hammer to slam it down on the laptop, something stopped him. It was a voice. A familiar voice... "...Tom? Tom are you there?" No...It couldn't be... Tom dropped the hammer in shock and slowly he opened up the laptop. On his screen staring back at him was Knuckles the Echidna, except his red fur was a dim, almost rust kind of color, his purple eye color was instead green, and he had a dismal look on his face that looked like he found relief in years. The environment he seemed to be in was Green Hill Zone. Tom looked at the Knuckles that stared back at him. The Knuckles then weakly spoke up in that unbelievably familiar voice. "H-hey T-Tom...What's up..?" Tom didn't want to say it, but he knew exactly who it was he was talking to, and as he felt tears return to him he slowly whispered the name. "Kyle...?"
- ↑ "Because the soul can't die. They continue going on even once they leave the body. This is what I do: I take the soul, I mold it into an appropriate shape, and then boom! You're now an immortal resident of my lovely home! Think about it, Tom. By entering my world, you're given the opportunity to never experience death. you can spend eternity with your friends...and only I can make that happen for you."
- ↑ Tom felt his insides turn as he saw the photos. All of them, the same way as Kyle. Pale, eyes wide in horror, jaws snapped off, blood staining the inside of their mouths...
- ↑ Sarah then spoke up. "We checked the autopsies and they all said the same thing, the esophagus and the inside of the chest were completely ruptured, like something large forced it's way down the victims' throats."
- ↑ 37.0 37.1 Two, he had been pulling open the victim's mouth to the point of tearing the jaw off almost completely, as well as severely damaging the inside of their throats and chests afterward.
- ↑ He went on Google and then searched up on the murders, being sure to specify the snapped jaws and the broken laptops as he did so. Not surprisingly, a lot of articles regarding the murders came up. Tom looked through one, same details as what Green told him; people found in their homes, mouths ripped open, their esophagus torn apart on the inside, their laptops damaged in some way, everything.
- ↑ He couldn't figure out how the killer was doing it but somehow it involved forcing open their jaws to the point of breaking and their insides getting ruptured.
- ↑ With a choked sob Tom forced himself to shut his eyes and look away as he heard Vicky's jaws break and the grotesque sound of the creature's hand forcing it's way down her gullet to rip her soul out.
- ↑ "She was preparing to leave the room before she was assaulted." Derek knelt down looking at all of the books, papers and the computer that were scattered on the floor around the desk. "The killer easily overpowered her. She couldn't even put up much of a struggle. He pretty much did his thing in no time flat." "Jesus..." Tom whispered as he looked at Wilkinson's corpse.
- ↑ The hands went straight for Vicky, who fell to the floor screaming and shielded herself, but Mike jumped in the way and started to wrestle with the arms that had grabbed him, preventing them from grabbing a hold of his girlfriend. "MIKE, NO!!!" Vicky screamed in shock. "The fuck you doing you idiot?!" Tom shouted in protest as he helped Vicky. "Don't worry about me, dipshit!" Mike yelled back and grunted as he struggled and tried to overpower the arms that now had his attention. "Just get the fuck outta here! GO!!" Not seeing any other option, Tom dragged the crying Vicky as he and Roger started running, hoping to find another way out as Mike continued to fight back. By the time they had reached a classroom, Tom's heart plummeted as he heard Mike screaming far behind them before eruptly stopping.
- ↑ Tom shook his head, "Nah, I don't think he's gonna risk it. If everyone's now aware he's been targeting this college, chances are he's gonna lay low for a while....I'm kinda HOPING he shows up so we can catch him." "Wouldn't it be insane if the four of us actually caught the bastard ourselves?" Roger asked. "That'd be cool," Mike said grinning, already imagining the scenario in his head, "I mean, there's only four of US and only one of HIM! Plus I'm the class football champ, he'd HAFTA think twice before trying to kill me!"
- ↑ "You MOTHERFUCKER...!!" Tom yelled furiously. The minute Kyle's name was mentioned, it was like something inside him snapped. He ran toward the monster against his friends' protests to strike at him, to hurt him. Unfortunately it seemed reality struck first as Tom was sent flying back. The creature had knocked him back with his free hand, the amused look on his monstrous face stifling another hateful laugh.
- ↑ The creature got down on all fours in a pouncing position, he licked his fangs some more, his red eyes gleaming in the dim room. His voice changed to a more beastly baritone. "Today is a really good day for me." Tom's heart pounded, he saw the door to their right. It was now or never. "Guys....Run. NOW!!" He suddenly yelled. They all jumped out of the way as the creature leaped to grab them, crashing into the wall and snarling in pain as he missed them. Tom and his friends ran out the door and started running down the hall, hearing the creature's laughter from within the computer room. "Nice dodge! Go on then! run run run, the fun's only just begun!"
- ↑ And then, as soon as the creature lunged in to grab Tom, he dodged out of the way and then pulled the bookcase over the monster, causing it and all it's contents to topple on top of him.
- ↑ The hands went straight for Vicky, who fell to the floor screaming and shielded herself, but Mike jumped in the way and started to wrestle with the arms that had grabbed him, preventing them from grabbing a hold of his girlfriend. "MIKE, NO!!!" Vicky screamed in shock.
- ↑ The creature's mouth twisted into an angry snarl as he raised his hand to strike at Tom, but immediately froze, his black eyes wide and his red pupils shrunk, as Tom immediately redirected the knife back towards his own throat. Tom then asked. "You like going around as Sonic huh?" "Don't..." "Like pretending to be him, don't you?!" "Don't you dare!" "WELL, LET'S SEE IF YOU'RE AS FAST AS HIM!!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" As soon as the creature roared and lunged forward to stop him, Thomas Miller summoned all his courage and plunged the knife into his own throat.
- ↑ 49.0 49.1 And then, as soon as the creature lunged in to grab Tom, he dodged out of the way and then pulled the bookcase over the monster, causing it and all it's contents to topple on top of him. The creature snarled and yelped as he got partially buried in books and trophies while Tom made a mad dash into his kitchen. The minute the creature pushed the fallen bookcase off himself and pulled himself out of the mess
- ↑ Green looked at Tom's face, and with unease within himself, flipped the sheet over and revealed the corpse that stared mindlessly back at Tom. The skin was pale white, eyes wide and foggy, the short blond hair on his head unkempt, and his bloodstained mouth agape, as if the jaw bones had been snapped off. It was Kyle.
- ↑ He could still vividly remember the look of horror upon Kyle's face, the jaw hanging uselessly from it's sockets and the eyes wide, dead and empty...
- ↑ All that was on it had been knocked off and in their stead, lying flat on her back, was Ms. Wilkinson, just as Rachel described and just like Kyle; deathly pale, a look of shock on her face, her mouth wide, caked in blood, her jaw hanging uselessly. Tom's stomach almost turned looking at the poor woman, seeing her corpse like this reminded him of how Kyle died.
- ↑ When he turned around to look the other side of the stack, he felt his legs go numb and his heart break. He fell onto his knees, numb beyond belief. There sitting on the floor before him was Roger. Lifeless, pale, eyes blank and his mouth ripped open, blood oozing from his jaw as it hung uselessly from his face. Tom let out a long drawn out scream of pain, sorrow and agony, not taking off his tear-filled eyes off what had remained of his final friend, an empty, shell of a corpse.
- ↑ "Prior to all their deaths, there haven't been a single sign of entry; the door or windows weren't open or unlocked, we even scanned for fingerprints. Nothing. Not even on the victims." "Wait, seriously?" Tom asked, unsure if he heard correctly. "You guys saying this guy just appeared out of nowhere and killed people without touching them?" "Well I mean, we don't wanna draw to any conclusions yet." Derek responded.
- ↑ It really did seem like they hit a dead end; a killer had been able to invade people's homes without leaving any signs of an entry or in fact any trace of his existence. Whoever this murderer was, not only was he a deranged individual, he was also very good at what he was doing, too.
- ↑ One, the killer had somehow entered the victim's home without leaving any traces of his presence or a break-in.
- ↑ "I'm warning you...Stay fucking back." The creature looked at the knife and then at Tom, before throwing his head back laughing his mad clown-like laugh, barely standing upright as he did so, as if this was the most funniest thing he had ever seen. "Is that really the best you can do, kid?!" Tom felt extremely awkward as the creature said this. Truthfully, he didn't really think any of this through. "Get real, Tom. I'm not a part of this world. How do you even know if that thing's really capable of killing something like myself? Are you really willing to take that kinda risk?" Tom's knife hand shook slightly. He was really in a tight spot now. He wasn't sure if this knife was enough to hurt this creature, let alone kill him, and it's not like he could just run out the door and find a way out, the creature would surely catch him....and Green hadn't arrived yet.
- ↑ "Your friends, eh? You care a great deal about them, huh?" Tom blinked, he was surprised by this change in behavior, steeling himself for anything the creature might pull, he nodded. "Well, how do you think they would feel about you wanting to take your own life right now?" The creature casually paced around the room, continuing his speech as Tom watched him. "I mean think about it, Tom. You were supposed to be the hero of this story for them, weren't you? You wanted to save them. Doesn't it seem a little selfish to want to take your own life instead of being alive like them?" The creature's words struck a small blow to Tom. It's true, he wanted to save his friends, but... "Why, I'd even go so far as say that's unbelievably cowardly of you, Tom! Your friends are all still living in my world, hoping that you'll come to save them, and yet here you are, choosing to abandon them, choosing death over seeing them again." Tom struggled to keep the knife at his throat, he didn't want to admit it, but the creature was right. He was outright abandoning his friends by choosing death. Guilt washed over Tom as he began to realize how selfish he was, he brought his knife hand down as he stood there. The creature's red eyes gleamed maliciously as he watched Tom, he continued.
- ↑ "Sadly, I can only do so much in your world. For some reason, my powers are limited every time I cross over. I can't even change the reality of any of the rooms in this dull ass place...But ahh well. That's not important right now. what is important is me getting to snagging your souls!"
- ↑ Tom's heart pounded, he saw the door to their right. It was now or never. "Guys....Run. NOW!!" He suddenly yelled. They all jumped out of the way as the creature leaped to grab them, crashing into the wall and snarling in pain as he missed them. Tom and his friends ran out the door and started running down the hall, hearing the creature's laughter from within the computer room.
- ↑ And then, as soon as the creature lunged in to grab Tom, he dodged out of the way and then pulled the bookcase over the monster, causing it and all it's contents to topple on top of him. The creature snarled and yelped as he got partially buried in books and trophies while Tom made a mad dash into his kitchen.
- ↑ The hands went straight for Vicky, who fell to the floor screaming and shielded herself, but Mike jumped in the way and started to wrestle with the arms that had grabbed him, preventing them from grabbing a hold of his girlfriend. "MIKE, NO!!!" Vicky screamed in shock. "The fuck you doing you idiot?!" Tom shouted in protest as he helped Vicky. "Don't worry about me, dipshit!" Mike yelled back and grunted as he struggled and tried to overpower the arms that now had his attention. "Just get the fuck outta here! GO!!" Not seeing any other option, Tom dragged the crying Vicky as he and Roger started running, hoping to find another way out as Mike continued to fight back.
