Alex the Lion.exe

I’m a total Madagascar fan much like everyone else. I like the newer shows, but I don’t mind watching the classics. I don’t think I’ve ever watched glitchy or pirated movies before, though I don’t think I want to watch any after the experience I had…

It started on a nice summer afternoon. I was watching madagascar 2 ( My favorite one) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left. I paused my movie as i got to the (Sexy) Moto moto scene, a name so nice you can say it twice, to go see what I got in the mail. The only thing in the Mailbox was a CD case for computers and a note. I took it inside.

I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Dr Blowhole (let’s just call him that), whom I hadn’t heard from in 2 weeks. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Dr Blowhole was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry.

This is what he wrote:

BOB JIMMY

I can’t take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you’d do it for me. I can’t do it, he’s after me, and if you don’t destroy this CD, he’ll come after you too, he’s too WILD for me….

Please BOB JIMMY, destroy this god-forsaken, or whatever respective belief you have, disc before he comes after you too, it’s too late for me.

Destroy the disc, and you’ll destroy him, but do it quick otherwise he’ll catch you. Don’t even play the game, it’s what he wants, just destroy it.

Please…

dr blowhole

Well, that was certainly weird. Even though Dr Blowhole is my best friend and I haven’t seen him in 2 weeks, I didn’t do what he asked me. I didn’t think that a simple gaming disc would do anything bad to him, after all it’s just a game right? Boy, was I wrong about that…

Anyway, I looked at the disc and it looks like any ordinary computer CD-R disc, except it had black marker on it written “ALEXTHELION.EXE”, and it was much unlike dR blowhole's handwriting, meaning that he must’ve gotten it from someone else, like a pawn shop or eBay. When I saw “ALeXTHELION” on the writing of the CD, I was actually excited and wanted to play it, since I’m a a BIG Madagascar fan, as ive said before. this franchise is my religion.

I went up to my room and turned on my computer and put the disc in and installed the game. When the title screen popped up I noticed that it was the original Madagascar game, I was like “Awesome!” Because like I said earlier I liked the classics. That quickly turned to a realization of dissapointment when I remembered that I didn't like the madagascar game. The first thing I noticed that was out of place was when I pressed start, there’s was a split second when I saw the title image turned into something much different, something that I now consider horrifying, before cutting to black.

I remember what the image looked like in that split second before the game cut to black; The sky had darkened, the title emblem was rusted and ruined, the Dreamworks logo where the fisherman sat was now instead a man hanging from a noose, and the clouds had turned red.

But the freakiest thing that was in that split second frame was Alex, his eyes were pitch black and bleeding with two glowing red dots staring RIGHT AT ME, and his smile had stretched wider up to the edge of his face. I was rather disturbed about that image when I saw it, though I figured that it was just a glitch and forgot about it. After it cut to black it stayed like that for about 10 seconds or so. And then another weird thing happened, the save file select from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 popped up, and I was like “WTF? What’s this doing in a Madagascar game?” Must've been some bootleg port. anyway, then I notice something off, the background was the dark cloudy sky of the Bad Stardust Speedway level from Sonic CD, and there were only three save files. The music was that creepy Caverns of Winter music from Earthbound, only it was extended and seemed to have been in reverse. And the image for the save file where you see a preview of the level you’re on is just red static for all three files.

What freaked me out more was the character select, it showed only Marty, Gloria and to my surprise, the penguins! Now I was sure that something was up, I mean, where was Melman for crying out loud? Though I wasn't too sad, I hated Melman

That’s when I realized that this wasn’t a glitchy game, it was a hacked game.

Yeah it definitely looked hacked... Ok. I'm sorry. But Melman f*&king sucks, and before I continue, I need to get this out. Melman contributed almost nothing in the first movie. Hes a paranoid whiney weirdo and I hate giraffes. Hes some r/niceguy in the sequel. And his best moment was in the first movie where he stuck his head in a clock and said "Guys, were running out of time."

Anyway, yeah it definitely looked hacked it was really creepy, but as a smart gamer, I wasn’t scared (or at least I tried not to be), I told myself that it was just a hacked game and there’s nothing wrong with that. Anyways, shaking off the creeped out feeling I picked File 1 and chose Marty and when I selected and got started. The game froze for about 5 seconds and I heard a creepy pixelated laugh that sounded an awful lot like that Kefka guy from Final Fantasy before cutting to black.

The screen stayed black for about 10 seconds or more, then it showed the typical level title thing, except the simplistic shapes were different shades of red, which is weird because this wasn't a sonic game, and the text showed only “Centralpark zoo , ACT 1”. The screen faded in and the level title vanished revealing Tails in the Central park zoo like in the original game the music was different though, it sounded like a peaceful melody in reverse. Anyway I started playing and had marty start running like you would in any of the classic Sonic games, what was odd was that (like I said before) THIS ISN'T A SONIC GAME! As Marty was running along the level there was nothing but flat ground and a few trees for 5 minutes, that was when the peaceful music started to lower down into slow deep tones very slowly as I kept going.

I suddenly saw something and I stopped to see what it was. Melman, decapitated, and strung up like a museum exhibet. Marty had a shocked and saddened look on his face that I never saw him have before. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Naturally I assumed it was some kind of mod, when I finished processing what I saw, I started lauging. Laughing with joy and sadism. "YES!!! HE'S DEAD!!! WORTHLESS COWARD!!! AHAHAHAHHA" I cackled, sounding like the green goblin. Not the cool one by willam defoe, the stupid one from the original cartoon. When I calmed down from joy, I had marty move along, and he kept that worried look on his face. As he kept moving I saw more dead animals as Marty moved past them looking more and more worried as the music lowers and he moves past more dead animals, I was shocked to see how they all died, they looked like somebody killed them in rather gruesome ways; a squirrel was hanged on a tree with what appeared to be his entrails hanging out, a bunny had all four of his limbs torn off and a duck had his eyes gouged out and his throat slit. I felt kinda hungry when I saw this massacre and apparently Marty didn't. He was sick to his stomach. While I'm here, I gotta ask, is it normal to feel hungry when watching animals eat other animals on animal planet? It's not a sexual thing I swear, it jut works up my appetite. I mean, yes I'm into vore but what does that have to do with anything? Anyway, after a few more seconds there were no more animals and the music seemed to have stopped, I still kept Tails- I MEAN MARTY to continue.

After a minute passed after the music stopped, Marty was running into Alex's enclosure and then he stopped, it wasn’t until the cutscene started that I saw why. Alex was there on the other side of the screen with his back against Marty with his eyes closed. I was pretty expectant of what would happen. I played the original madagascar game and the cutscene should play now. But something different happened. Marty looked happy to see Sonic- I MEAN ALEX. but then his smile faltered, obviously noticing that Alex wasn’t responding to him, if not acting as if he was totally oblivious of Marty’s presence. "Alex?" Marty asked as he started walking slowly toward Sonic, and I noticed that I wasn’t even moving my keyboard to make him move, so this had to have been a cut scene.

Suddenly I began to have a growing feel of dread as Marty walked closer to Alex whilst calling out his name to get his attention, I felt that Marty was in danger and something bad was going to happen. I heard faint static growing louder as Marty was but inches away from Alex and stopped to stick his hand out to touch him. That foreboding feeling in my gut was growing stronger and I felt the urge to tell Marty to get away from Alex as the static grew louder.

"Alex?"

Suddenly in a split second I saw Alex’s eyes open and they were black with those red glowing dots, just like that title image, thought there wasn’t a smile. When that happened Marty immediatly turned the other direction and sprinted. "OH SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA!" He shouted. the screen turned black and the static sound was off.

It stayed black for about 7 seconds and then white text appeared forming a message, saying, “Let's get Wild!”

At this point I was creeped out, I didn’t want to continue with the game, but my curiosity got the better of me when I was taken to a different level with the level title now saying " WHo's the cat.”

This time I was on the Madagascar Island level from the original game and it looked like everything was on fire.

Marty looked as though he was scared out of his wits this time. He actually looked at me and made frantic gestures to me as if he wanted to get out of the area he was in as fast as possible. I was starting to get freaked out by this…I mean Marty was actually breaking the fourth wall, trying to tell me to get him out of there.

So I pressed down on the arrow key as hard as I could (Cuz Im a pc gamer) and made him run as fast as he could, a pixelated version of that creepy theme when you meet Shadow at the ARK as Robotnik from SA2 was playing as I made Marty trek through the desolate forest, trying to help him escape from whatever he was trying to run from.

Suddenly I heard that creepy laugh again… that awful, Kefka laugh… right after 10 seconds have passed as I helped Tails run through the forest, and then I started seeing flashes of SoAlexnic popping everywhere on the screen, again with those black and red eyes.

The music changed to that suspenseful drowning jingle as I see Alex behind Marty slowly gaining up on him, FLYING! Alex wasn’t running, he was actually FLYING! The chase scene looked just like the original movie's chase scene when Alex tried to eat Marty, which is when I realized what was about to happen. The black and red eyes of this demonic predator looked more crazed and hungry then any typical EXE. His eyes bulged with lust and hunger as he gained speed.

This time he had the most deranged looking grin on his face, not like he looked as though he was enjoying the torment he was giving the poor zebra (played by Chris Rock) as he gained up on him. but as if he were starvingly rampant for his flesh. He couldn't wait a second longer for his lunch.

Suddenly Marty tripped. I screamed at him to get back up, but the controls stopped working. the music stopped and Alex vanished. Marty laid there and started crying for 15 seconds. The scene was rather upsetting to watch and I kind of teared up myself. I loved Marty, he was my second favorite zebra. But then the music was replaced by some strange inaudible. it sounded kind of like laughter. but it was slow and distorted. I thought this was another scare, but then I started making out letters.

"G"

I listened intently. This could be an important code to remember. My years as a furry- I MEAN FNAF FAN, taught me that. I made out:

G I J CANT H 2 C IT

I tried to write these notes down until I had a realization. As soon as I percieved what this meant my head snapped back to the screen.

"G.I JANE, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT."

The laughter continued.

"MARTY NO" I screamed. but I quickly shut my mouth when I heard the roar of the audio. It was hard to make out, but I knew what it said.

"KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!"

As soon as the audio ran it's course, Alex reappeared in front of Marty in a hunched over position glaring into Marty.

Blood started to come down those blackened eyes of Alex's ghastly face as a grin slowly grew from his face as he looked down at the horrified horse, I could do nothing but watch.

Just in a split second Alex's eyes rolled to the back of his head becoming all black like a shark, confirming my fear of what Alex's intentions were, and lunged at Marty. But he didn't bite into his neck like I thought he would. He slapped him across his long face right before the screen went red, there was a loud screeching noise that only lasted 5 seconds. The text returned again, repeating the message by the audio.

"KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!" and then that god-awful laugh came with it.

I was so shocked by what had happened…did Alex slap the Sh*t outta Marty? No, he couldn’t have… He and Marty are supposed to be best friends, right? Why did Alex do that to him? Thena dark thought entered my mind.

Did Will Smith possess Alex the Lion?

I shook the shock off as I was brought back to the character select, the save file that had Marty was different Marty was no longer in the box itself but in the TV screen itself, which was flickering with that red static, Marty wasn't Marty anymore, he was a steak with stripes on it's sides like in the movie. So alex did kill him. Which can only mean,

That he slapped so much goofy outta him that he died.

Trying to ignore it I picked Gloria next.

The laugh came again and the screen cut to black again and stayed there for another 10 seconds, this time the level said “You know how hard it is to be a terrifying demon when you possesed Alex the goddamn Lion?"

I was really freaked out by now, I couldn’t really tell if this was a joke, or a hack, or some kind of sick twisted shitpost… or anything really. But despite my fear of what happened next, I kept playing.

The next level looked much different, it had the ground of manhattan, but the sky background looked like the main menu; it had the dark reddish cloudy sky. But it was the music that creeped me out the most: It sounded like Giygas’ theme right after you beat Pokey in Earthbound. A game you probably only heard of because of F&*king undertale. I also noticed that Gloria looked afraid just like Marty did, though not as much, more rather he looked a little unnerved. He broke the fourth wall just like Marty and sans and deadpool and the animaniacs and Monika and the Oneshot main character and sonic sometimes and bill cipher and discord and Abed. And looked as if she wasn’t sure about going on, but I made her move anyway.

She ran down the straight pathway in this dark level, and as she did the screen started to flicker red static a couple times and then that maddening laugh came again.

( I copypasted the sonic exe story and edited it. Knuckles and Gloria are different genders so I have to corret every pronoun. This is how im spending my day. I should be finding a job.)

Then after a few seconds of running I notice several bloodstains on the ground, I felt a growing sense of fear again thinking something horrible is going to happen to Gloria. She looked nauseated walking down this blood-stained road, but I still kept him going.

Suddenly as Gloria ran, Alex appeared right in front of her with those black and red eyes and then red static appeared again, when the static vanished showing nothing but black screen with text saying “Darn you all to heck!”, I was now scared, Alex found Gloria already?! What was going on?!

Anyway red static came again and then I was back to the level, Gloria looked like she was panicking, and Alex was nowhere to be found. And this time that high-pitched squealing from the Silent Hill 1’s final boss was playing.

Was this some kind of boss battle with Alex? I hoped to God it wasn’t, honestly.

Suddenly, Gloria punched Alex straight in the face and he went flying into a car. I didn't control her, but I ignored that for I was lost in the shock and hype of what just happened. It was like a cutscene. Gloria then charged toward where Alex was. Alex was getting back up, stumbling. His eyes widened when he saw the extra THICC hippo charge him straight through the car and into the building. "YES!" I cheered. Gloria seemed keen to avenge Marty, and I wouldn't argue with her. Chris rock is my favorite actor.

I mean, Will Smith is okay, he's been in great movies but I always preferred funnymen like jack black. Although I never really was into celebrities. My sister grew up with Will Smith. She watched Bad boys 2 when she was like 8. Which is weird because she hates horror movies nowadays.

Anyway, I alway thought that Will Smith overreacted with Chris Rock's joke. I heard of people getting angry over jokes before, but this seemed a little unfounded. even for me. But I was never too interested in the topic because celebrity drama is a big racket for some reason and It rarely ever interested me. This instance was memed about for days and I couldn't exactly escape it. So anyway-

Wait. I missed the fight. My rambling about celebrities made me miss the whole fight with gloria and Alex. GODDAMNIT!

Alex stood mangled and triumphant over Gloria's torn open body. They were in a destroyed version of central park zoo. which means their battle jumped in between levels as Alex tried to manipulate reality to combat Gloria's fury. AND I MISSED IT!!!

F*&K

And then in a split second Alex lunged at Gloria and the screen went black with another distorted screeching noise that lasted for at least 3 seconds.

but I was too bitter too care.

Another text message appeared, “So many souls to play with, so little time…" SHUT THE F*&K UP YOU P&*SY F&*KING LION!

I was brought back to the main menu and this time the second file box Gloria steak in the TV screen,

I shut off the game and took a break. I tried to take a nap but I was too goddamn angry. I beat up my mannequin (By the way I have a mannequin) and went back to my game.

I turned on the computer, turned on the game and selected the penguins next.

I still thought that was wacky, playing as the penguins, but anyway the level title appeared again and this time it said " I occasionally Alex”, which I found really freaky.

This time I was in some kind of forest, didn’t really look like it was from any of the Madagascar movies, it had a 2 dimensional, cartoonish style; the sky was fluctating in textures like a bad television, a dark grayish purple with animated candlelight’s and a few dark bloodstains here and there, and there was a dark red curtain hanging above on the top part of the screen. Every 12 seconds or so that red curtain sways very slowly, but whenever you’re playing the game you can barely see it move. The music was bizarre. kinda jazzy but painful on the ears, but I knew better, this was the intro that played in the penguins of madagascar tv show only it was in reverse.

The penguins didn’t look entirely nervous like Marty and Gloria did, but he did have a suspicious look on their face as if he was just a bit paranoid. They did a little animation when I just left him standing, they turn their heads to the left and then to the right at least twice and then shrugs at me, as if they have no idea where they were or what was going on. Even though I was scared outta my mind about what was going to happen, I had the penguins continue onward. They did their little waddling animation as they continued going through the forest.

Then I stop at a long flight of stairs leading downward, now I was nervous, even the penguins seemed unsure of themselves, though I pressed onward, which would be easier if the CONTROLS WEREN'T UNUSABLE!!!

As I led all four penguins down the stairs at the same time with barely usable controls, I noticed that the walls have gotten darker and more reddish; the red torches are now an eerie blue. Then we landed onto another hallway, this one was longer than the last one (or at least it felt like it. It's hard to tell when you move like a barely coordinated herd of sheep) and then we head down another flight of stairs down, this one was much longer, took at least 1 full minute.

And then I heard that horrid Kefka laugh agai- (Okay real quick does anyone here know who Kefka is? Their a final fantasy character. because it's more known as the Sonic.exe laugh. just promise me you'll look him up.) then the music slowly faded until it was quiet, as it did the walls turned more dark red and the torches were a black flame now.

When the penguins landed onto the 3rd hallway, I noticed they now looked really creeped out, though he tried to hide it, I couldn’t blame them, I was scared too.

Suddenly, Alex popped right in front of the penguins the same way he tried to with Gloria and then red static. The red static lasted for about 15 seconds and then it showed me a most unpleasant image…

The image showed a hyper-realistic picture of Alex standing in the darkness where you can only see his face while his head and torso faded into black, and when I say hyper-realistic, I mean like he looked so real you could actually see the lines in his mane. As if you could actually feel the fur if you touched the screen.

His face… oh god, he had the most horrifying smile I had ever seen.

And that’s saying something considering I saw that image at the start of the game. Now I knew how mort felt when King Julien sent him to scout him.

His eyes are wide and black and once again crying blood (Which also looked hyper real- you know what I'm tired of that word now. It looked creepy.) And there were two small glowing red dots in those black eyes staring RIGHT AT ME, (Or anyone who would have been using my computer) as if staring into my mind. His grin was wide and demonic, it literally stretched to the sides of his face like a Cheshire Cat except Alex had fangs, VERY SHARP fangs, much like the Werehog’s teeth except more vicious-looking, somewhat yellowish and from the look of it, he had stains of blood and small bits of flesh on his lips and fangs as if he ate some animal. Actually now that I think about, Alex the lion already had fangs before demon Will Smith.

I stared at that gruesome image for a good 30 seconds, never taking my eyes off it, I felt as if he was actually looking at me, smiling at me…that face, it just took 10 seconds for it to etch itself into my brain for good. I wasn't scared tho. I liked the attention.

Then the screen flickered with red static again 3 times, and on the 3rd time I heard the Kefka laugh, honestly it got old. except this time it sounded distorted, demonic even… which it already did considering it was the GODDAMN KEFKA LAUGH

It went back to the image again except this time there was the text again though it was messed up, but it was pretty much one of the most horrifying (And by horrifying I mean edgy) things I looked at since I had this game…

“I AM KING OF THE THRONE.”

It was when I read that message while looking at Sonic when it hit me, I realized right there and then.

This Alex was a monster, a pure evil, sadistic, all-powerful, nightmarish, demented monster… and all of his victims, including Marty, Gloria, The penguins, and possibly Dr Blowhole, (remember him?) which I was kinda okay with, he was a bit of a prick, all were just his little toys, and the game is the very gateway into his chaotic, nightmarish world and the very Hell his victims are trapped in.

I was terrified of a jumpscare, but instead it switched to what looked like footage of a car at night. I was uneasy already, but after 30 seconds, nothing happened. I decided to cautiously stare closer at the footage. Like I said, it was a car in the night, parked at some driveway but my eyes widened when I saw the silhoutte of Alex in the backseat. I could only see the light reflecting off his eyes like a typical cat. I stared at him, but every second I did, panic swelled up inside me, begging me to do something, anything. I looked away from his eyes and at the house. I felt like I was in danger doing so. But my heart sank when I realized how familiar that house was. I stared back at the car. He was still in there.

"WHAT THE F&*K!" I screamed. This was live footage.

This was my neighborhood.

This was my house.

I felt l was gonna have a heart attack.

All I could say in a barely comprehensable whimper was.

"Alex the Lion. what the hell are you doing in my car?"
