The emperor sent Kefka to follow the Returners when they headed to find the hidden home of the Espers, because apparently the entire plan was for Terra to join the Returners and find the hidden home. Kefka did what he was told and prepared to fight the Returners to get into the secret home, only for the sheer power of the enraged espers within to stun him into a panic, then get blown off a cliff. By the time he dragged himself back to the Empire, the espers had pretty much nuked everything except the Imperial Palace and the Emperor and Kefka was placed under arrest as a scapegoat for all the Empire’s crimes. He spent the next few days sulking in prison and complaining about how bored he was to anyone who got in earshot.
Of course, once the Emperor got the Returners to go get the remaining espers to not blow up the rest of the world, Kefka was let out of jail to go kill and power suck said espers. It went just as planned: Kefka killed his rival Leo and power-sucked the espers and threw a burning a town to ashes party, then helped the Empire yoink up a Floating Continent with the gods on it so they could take over the world! And he didn’t kill the Returners at the burning town party because…uh. He was under orders to spare Celes for the Empire’s creepy plans and saved the rest because he couldn’t bother to kill such weak people. Yes.
The Returners followed them again, of course. Celes showed up to try and stop her ex-countrymen once and for all; the Emperor offered her a chance to return, at which point she stabbed Kefka and told them both to jump in a lake. Kefka freaked out and demanded that the gods let him join them, and the Emperor decided to cut his losses and kill Kefka before he ruined the take over the world bit by destroying said world. Kefka responded by having the gods mortally wound the Emperor, then punted him off a cliff, then start powering up the gods, at which point the Returners split up—a ninja stayed to try and stop Kefka while the rest got off the Floating Continent before Kefka blew it up. This failed.
And so Kefka became a god and blew the world up. The continents were rearranged and plants and animals died whenre they weren’t warped with magic. Humans lived on, although some despaired and others lived happily just to spite Kefka. And Kefka lasered a few towns but mostly sat around on his Tower ruling and chilling out with his minions.
Eventually, the Returners teamed back up to take him down since that would fix the world, killing off everything in the Tower until they got to Kefka, at which point:
Kefka: Hi everyone I’m so happy to see you and I knew you’d come so I wrote a speech Returners: stop being evil plz Kefka: nnno life has no meaning because everything dies so you should die now k Returners: but life is awesome and killing is nasty! Kefka: prove it Returners: FAMILY FRIENDS AND HAPPINESS Kefka: ….ARE YOU FROM A JRPG OR A SHOJO ANIME destroying is the only meaningful thing TIME FOR YOU ALL TO DIE WITH YOUR STUPID SAPPY MEANINGS OF LIFE Returners: /kill Kefka Day: SAVED Game: WON
