## Appearances

### Debut

Sonic IDW Comics

InfeXction was created by soyboy on 6-17-23. It stems from an AU, in which It is a beta version of the IDW Sonic Metal Virus, which broke free and spread worldwide via the InfeXcted Mobians.

## Biography

The InfeXction was created by Dr. Eggman, being a trial version of the finalized Metal Virus. Due to an accident involving Starline and the Warp Topaz, the InfeXction broke lose and InfeXcted an innocent member of the Resistance, headed by Amy Rose.

Due to the symptoms of some unknown disease emerging in the Resistance member, Amy was called in order to evaluate the situation and decide whether quarantine was nessecary. The victim was displaying symptoms of the common cold, along with vomitting, constant crying, and fuzziness of the mind. The fluid leaking from the body of the victim appeared to be metallic fluid, which was sampled for further investigation by Miles "Tails" Prower.

Amy unknowingly became InfeXcted due to close contact with Patient Zero, and ended up transferring the disease to several others on accident. Over three weeks, Amy's symptoms progressively got worse, and on Day 7, she began to leak the same Metallic fluid sampled from Patient Zero and now several others in the Resistance. Amy realized she had contracted the InfeXction and spread it to others, at which point she told Tails, Knuckles, and Blaze to lock down the facilities where any InfeXcted had been.

Things slowly got worse, with more people becoming InfeXcted, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Dr. Starline, Knuckles the Echidna, and Cream the Rabbit. Tails investigated further into the disease and became InfeXcted himself. He joined Dr. Eggman and Starline in attempts to find ways to eradicate the disease, but by then, over 436 lives had already been claimed.

Over time, everyone either became InfeXcted or perished, due to the disease's 100% fatality rate and the lack of treatment for it. Tails passed, leaving Eggman and Starline to finish his research into a cure for the InfeXction.

Three months passed, and a cure was never reached. The last remaining Mobians waited for death, setting up camps in extremely frigid places, as that seemed to slow the progression of the InfeXction.

However, the disease was contained to that version of Mobius. Once it claimed the last few lives, there was nothing left for it to do.

Until Silver the Hedgehog returned from the Future.

## Symptoms and Progression

After first InfeXcted, the patient will show no signs of InfeXction. However, after the first four days, cold and flu-like symptoms begin to emerge, such as chills, fever, running nose and tiredness.

At the one week, the body's inner fluids are beginning to Metalitize due to the InfeXction, causing vomitting, fuzziness, blurry vision, constant crying, bloodshot eyes, and weakness. The victim will begin to cry tears of metal in a liquid state, vomit up small chunks of metal and metallic fluid, and lose function of vital organs due to the heat from the fever.

At 12 days, the victim has most certainly passed away. Whether from the Metalitization of the body, or the extreme symptoms of sickness, they are now deceased. After death, the victim CANNOT spread the InfeXction anymore without direct, close contact of the corpse.
