Akuma worries that Satan's influence is corrupting Primp Town and observes his actions throughout the day. Requested by huskynator on tumblr!

Wickedness

His observations couldn't have been wrong. Having watched Satan over the past few weeks, Akuma was certain his conclusions were correct.

Demons were responsible for corruption in Primp Town. Although he was a demon, he suspected Satan was bringing evil wherever he turned. Every step brought vileness. Every word and chortle infected the air. No one in Primp could possibly survive the contamination.

Ensuring he was hidden all day, he followed Satan's every move. He noted every little detail Satan did over the course of the afternoon. Shopping at Oshare's store had been normal. A few words were exchanged and payment given, and Satan was on his way. He stopped by the library, glancing at various spellbooks and bumped into Klug, rolling his eyes when the younger boy snapped at him to hand over the tome he was currently reading, claiming he needed it for a project.

However, the third event of the day cemented Satan's influence.

As Satan explored the posher side of Primp, he came across Feli's mansion. Akuma watched in surprise as Baldanders bounded over to him with his tongue flopping out and drool flicking over his lips. Satan chuckled, patting the hound as if he were an old friend, something that made Akuma's brow knit.

When Feli ambled out of her home holding a box of homemade chocolates filled with coconut, nougat, and caramel, Satan inquired about having one. He hadn't had lunch yet from what Akuma noticed and seemed peckish.

"You...want one?" Feli asked, her brow furrowing and mouth curving into a snarl.

"If I can't have one, just say no and move on." Satan crossed his arms. He continued patting Baldanders' face, carefully avoiding being drooled on by the eager dog.

Growling, she dug her heels in and snapped, "Are you trying to come between me and Lemres? Is that what you're after?"

Scratching his chin, he asked, "Which one was he again? Was he that child with the blue hair?"

Feli's eyes widened, and her grasp on her box faltered. Clutching it with white-knuckled intensity in one hand, she whipped out a dowsing rod and jabbed it at his chest. "Claiming you don't know Lemres...that's unforgivable! Kieeee!"

With that act, clearly influenced by Satan's evil presence, Akuma dashed out from his hiding place, which was simply behind Feli's mansion, knowing the security wasn't tight with Baldanders finding affection from Satan. He flailed his plush arms, bellowing, "That's enough, demon! Leave her be!"

Feli sprung back, her sinister expression swapping for shock. Satan blinked, the intrusion hardly welcoming. He continued patting Baldanders, groaning at the bear storming his way.

"And what do you want? Can't a guy ask for a piece of chocolate without it being weird?" he asked, and Baldanders licked the back of his head, frizzing up his hair.

"Only Lemres can ask that without it being weird. Him and him alone," she said, scoffing.

"I don't like the sound of that."

"Enough. Don't pester this poor girl." Akuma jabbed his paw at Satan's chin. "All demons must be exterminated from Primp lest they bring evil with them."

Satan cocked his head, the irony of the situation not lost on him. He glanced between Akuma and Feli, who seemed ready to slap him with her dowsing rod at the slightest gesture towards her chocolate. Turning back to Baldanders, he hummed and leered over his shoulder.

"Well, if you're telling me to leave, which I won't be doing so long as Arle is here, then you should be going yourself along with this wonderful guard dog here." He smirked, knowing the color would be draining from Akuma's face if he were human.

"You-! I'm a good demon! Don't warp my intentions around!" Akuma bellowed, shrill enough to cause Baldanders to cover his ears.

"Ah, then your discriminatory behavior won't be without punishment! Come on! Let's Puyo battle!"

Shrieking a battle cry, Akuma engaged Satan. Their boards quickly stacked up with Puyos, the former's arms flailing faster than ever before. He pinpointed the exact rotations, perfected the drop speed, and set off a stunning chain that made a laugh ripple up from the back of his non-existent throat.

"Not bad," Satan crooned, "but you're no match for me."

Akuma balked as the retaliatory chain fired off. Puyos popped and popped, seemingly never-ending. He tried to stack quickly, but Satan overpowered him, his final spell blasting him backwards. Nuisance Puyos toppled down on him harder and faster, nearly suffocating him as Satan flapped his wings, levitating in place.

"Well, that was good exercise." Smirking at Feli, he snatched one caramel-filled chocolate straight out of her box and vanished in a fit of black magic.

"Creep!" she shrieked, Baldanders whimpering and following her back inside her mansion.

Weakly raising his paw, Akuma let it fall and remained still under the Puyos. Although he had failed, he believed next time would be better, and he would certainly oust Satan from Primp Town.
