Who could be the antagonist in 'Kairi Captured by Black Tentacles' fanfiction?

One possible plot could be that Kairi is in a strange and dangerous realm where the black tentacles belong to some sort of dark entity. She has to use her courage and any latent powers she has to try and break free. Maybe she discovers that the tentacles are being controlled by an old enemy who she must then defeat in order to escape.

It could be Orochimaru. He's always been interested in powerful ninja and their abilities. Since Kushina has strong chakra and a connection to Naruto, Orochimaru might see her as a valuable asset to either experiment on or use as bait for Naruto. He's devious enough to come up with a complex plan to capture her.

Obviously, the cecaelia could be the main antagonist. With its tentacles, it poses a direct threat to the girl. It might be using its strength and the reach of its tentacles to keep the girl from achieving her goals, whether that's escaping or finding something in its domain.

It could be an evil sea witch. In a fairy - tale - inspired fanfiction, an evil sea witch with the power to control tentacle - like sea creatures would be a great antagonist. She might see Ezra as a threat or simply want to use Ezra for her own dark purposes.

It could be Eddie Brock himself if he loses control over the Venom symbiote. His darker side might take over and use the black tentacles to target Mary Jane for some reason, like she might have something he wants or she stands in the way of his plans.

In this fanfiction, it could be that Kari is exploring an ancient, cursed place. As she ventures deeper, black tentacles emerge from the shadows and start grabbing at her. These tentacles might be a manifestation of the curse. Kari's journey could then be about finding the source of the curse and breaking it to stop the tentacles from attacking her. She might meet other characters along the way who either help or hinder her progress.

It could be a power - hungry Slytherin who doesn't like that Regulus is showing an interest in Gryffindor values. This Slytherin might see it as a betrayal to their house and try to stop Regulus by any means necessary, even if it means using dark magic.

Maybe the Akatsuki as a whole. They are a group of powerful and dangerous ninjas. The Black Knight's presence might disrupt their plans to collect all the tailed beasts. They would see him as an obstacle and try to eliminate him. For example, Pain might think the Black Knight is a threat to his vision of peace through pain and send his subordinates to fight him.

An old rival of T'Challa's from his training days could be the main antagonist. This person was always jealous of T'Challa's status as heir to the throne and the future Black Panther. Now, he has found a way to enhance his own abilities and wants to prove that he is the better warrior by taking down T'Challa and claiming the Black Panther mantle for himself. He would know T'Challa's fighting style well, making him a very challenging opponent.

A new character could be the main antagonist. For example, a powerful alien who has heard of Goku Black's reputation and wants to prove himself by defeating the reincarnated warrior. This alien could have unique powers that are a challenge for Goku Black to overcome, like the ability to nullify ki attacks.
