X-Virus

The X-Virus is a newly discovered disease that is carried within all creatures of the USA. Dating back to extremely ancient times, even before Olde Antarctica existed, the X-Virus imberses its host with great power, strength, and velocity, and can even change its host's appearance. The X-Virus is so complex, that if under attack, it will rebuild itself and restore the components it thrives on.

Description
Originally, penguins lived in the North Pole, but when it became so overpopulated, the ancient evil being, Nightmare, was depleted of minions, and unable to conquer the entire population. His solution was to wipe out the vast majority of the penguins with the X-Virus, and choose a very small percentage to be moved to a new continent, and destroy the old one. Those who were not chosen but still survived and moved to the new world had a rare gift known as the X-Virus. This virus, when activated, changed their appearance and strength, and alliegance to Nightmare.

Those who have the X-Virus are generally distinguished by the X in their name and sometimes an X placed on their body somewhere or a gem (example: Mercury's on his forehead, PogoPunk X's on the front portion of his front horn).

The X Penguins and creatures fled to a new continent (which is now known as the USA) which was split into three Terminals (the three terminals are named after the Norns from Norse Mythology) consisting of Urd, a past plain which is a volcanic wasteland, inhabited by dinosaur and dragon X-Creatures, Verdani (mispronounced as Versandi) is the present which is a world of lush greenery and is home to beast, bird, plant and other nature X-Creatures, and Skuld is the future, a high-tech city where machine and insect X-Creatures dwell. Meanwhile, Nightmare sent his Royal Knights to eliminate the X Penguins.

The Royal Knights have not succeeded in their quest as of today, due to the X Penguins being too strong to handle. Nightmare is currently trying to plot a way to annihilate all of them once and for all.

Symptoms
The X-Virus is infected in all creatures and penguins of the USA, and while none have died from it, since the virus is so complex and unable to understand certain DNA in penguins, the symptoms vary from creature to creature;


 * Some penguins feel nothing at all, and do not gain any powers, or change in body.


 * Due to this virus being extremely ancient, and unable to adapt to modern technologies and immune systems, the virus has been known to create a duplicate of its host, copying their DNA. The DNA, along with the virus, is transferred to a normal creature, which takes on the form of their new X-Antibody.


 * Since all creatures are infected with the X-Virus, penguins and any other form of life will only know when they will experience change in their body when an X-shaped mark has manifested itself on any part of their body, mainly being the forehead or torso. Some creatures do not experience this, so it is hard to tell if they will be experiencing an X-AntiBody change.

Cure
A cure has not been invented, since many penguins like the idea of gaining strength, but the X-Virus can be slowed down with an injection of Ditto.

Normally, Ditto would work with another virus to infect the host even further, but due to certain components in the X-Virus, the Ditto confuses it as a normal white cell, and fights it. The X-Virus retaliates against the Ditto, and usually annihilates the disease out of the host's system. However, this attack leaves the X-Virus weakened, and the host will lose somewhat of its powers at a point.

Depending on what Ditto chemical is released into the X-Virus host, the attack on the virus will affect the host in different ways;


 * Ditto A will find it difficult to destroy the X-Virus, but will do some damage against it. The host will feel a little bit dizzy, but will be restored in a certain amount of time. The X-Virus will temporarily remove all powers for a short time, but the body will yet to be changed.


 * Ditto B is the most powerful out of all Ditto against the X-Virus, and will destroy a lot of its core chemicals before being annihilated. This will temporarily remove all components of the X-Virus all together, and the host will return to its normal state.


 * Ditto C attacks mainly the sub-chemicals of the X-Virus, which in turn, causes its host to restore its original form, but it will still contain his/her powers.

Trivia

 * There are few with the X-Virus that isn't distinguished by an X after their name because there is no other version of them in existence.
 * The X-Virus, despite its enemy Ditto, contains some components derived in certain types of Ditto.
