Periodic Genesis: Dawn of Sepsis is an ongoing comic series created by KoopaGalaxain. It is available on his deviantART account, and is his most expansive work in his library of creations. Serving as a sequel to the Periodic Genesis line of sprites, Dawn of Sepsis explores WeegeeZilla and his friends' struggle against the mutant pathogen kaiju Sepsis and his three subordinates, Keratos, Myos and Organon, who intend to let the entire universe succumb to disease.
Synopsis[]
Pre-Keratos Saga[]
At some point in the past in Universe 1996, one of WeegeeZilla's failed experiments mutated and escaped his laboratory, destroying WeegeeZilla's home city as it did so. While the scientist was unconscious, the new pathogen mutated to assume a physical form, Sepsis. Sepsis then created three subordinates, Keratos, Myos and Organon, and tasked them with fulfilling his plan to subjugate the entire universe through infection and decay.
The first targets the three subordinates were sent after were the original Periodic Genesis Kaiju (PGK), or whoever in that group was still alive. Keratos slew Germanium in cold blood, while Organon killed Luster Caesium in front of one of WeegeeZilla's friends, Linkzilla, effortlessly. After Organon killed Caesium, Sepsis appeared as an astral form to explain his plans. Currently, the fates of Radium, Boron, Zinc and Wolfram are unknown.
Keratos Saga[]
Awakening from his coma, WeegeeZilla noticed the ruins of his city, when suddenly Keratos ambushed him and brutally wounded the scientist, ripping out his abdomen gem and sending the hero falling to the floor, seemingly mortally wounded. As Keratos prepared to kill WeegeeZilla, suddenly a new monster appeared! It turned out that a single piece of Germanium had mutated and evolved into the next generation PGK, Germanium II! With the spirit of his ancestor assisting him, Germanium II fought well, but was defeated after Keratos used his scalpel beam on him, blasting off both his tentacles from the 'elbow' down.
Fortunately, Keratos being distracted by the fight with Germanium II gave WeegeeZilla the strength to use Absorption Inheritance for the first time, surprising Keratos and 'copying' his abilities for use as WeegeeZilla's own. Shocked and barely able to fight, Keratos was reduced to throwing insults at WeegeeZilla in a vain attempt to make him stand down, but the battle was set to continue. Meanwhile, deep underground, Myos was watching the whole thing, and expressed in equal parts how he both desired for Keratos to win and to lose, so that Sepsis might choose him next, giving him the opportunity to quench his thirst for blood.
In desperation, Keratos transformed into Scalpel Keratos, and regained the upper hand, slashing at WeegeeZilla and Germanium II with his improved blades before using his Keratinizer Beam to turn WeegeeZilla's right forearm into a lifeless husk of pure keratin. However, refusing to give up hope, WeegeeZilla created the improvised Keratin Storm technique, shattering his forearm into a cloud of keratin shards which tore away at Keratos's internal organs.
Though Keratos briefly survived, and attempted to continue the fight, the technique killed him, but not before he warned WeegeeZilla and Germanium II that if they intended to fight Myos and Organon, it would be their funeral. Keratos's death caused the spark of consciousness within Fake Sepsis to suddenly grow brighter, and the fourth creation of Sepsis began to reawaken, after an indeterminate time spent in the void Sepsis had placed him in.

Trivia[]
- As of May 2017, this is the second longest series that I have written, and it is still ongoing.
- Though Council of Creators exists in a separate canon to Periodic Genesis: Dawn of Sepsis, there have been several crossovers between the two in episodes written for the former, with Sepsis and his creations existing as major antagonists in Seasons 1 & 2.
