Emergence of Sinister

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

Sinister Maharana kills Kenneth Masters and emerges as the new primary antagonist of the universe.

Following the horrendous murder of Sakura Kasugano, as well as a series of high-stakes deathmatches between Ken and various members of the Dojo, the martial arts master soon underwent a mental shift. Because of Sinister Maharana's interference and the rare strain of cancer growing in his body, Ken began to develop bipolar highs and lows. His more manic episodes included him trying to open a brand new corporation to refuel his expensive habits and even declaring war on all of Europe in an invasion. Meanwhile, his depressive episodes became frighteningly stark, to the point where suicidal ideation became the norm. Soon after his attempt to take over Europe began, his fight and his will to live drastically decreased while Sinister's desire to take over his weakened body grew.   One evening in the Fall of 2018, Ken burst through the doors of The Masters Dojo and cleaved to the garb of Kaguya Otsutsuki, one of the long-time caretakers of the building. Through stuttered sobs and staggered breathing, Ken uttered "Please...don't let 'em take me....I don't wanna go..." These were the last words Ken ever spoke. Soon after, Sinister Maharana's existence was made clear and the late dojo master was literally torm apart by the new villain's bare hands. His corpse was discarded for all in the building to see while Sinister issued an open challenge to anyone who believed could stop him. The occupants of the Dojo had grown close to Ken, whether through hating him or, in a strange way, befriending him. As a result, all were enraged at the accoster's arrogance and brutality, some immediately approaching him for a fight.   However, being a primordial being, he easily overpowered them and brutalized all who stepped to face him. The aftermath of this event caused confusion, resentment, a deep longing for Ken's return and, most importantly, the beginning of The Elysium Archipelago.
