Snippet #1726146

~Despair~
The look of terror on their faces looked so appetizing to Despair. "Well hello there Puppy. You totally wasted yourself. Well, can't say I didn't help in that process. Your energy is as easy as ever to manipulate." Despair cackled in triumph.

"What the Hell are you doing here Despair! I can't imagine you enrolled in a boarding school." Keru grimaces with each syllable.

"Oh please, you think this is my doing? Don't make be laugh. I was banished to this fucking stupid place. I killed too many humans and Hades didn't like the extra work. I worked reaper to the bone with the amount of souls I left for him to harvest." Despair mockingly told. Keru heard a slight squeal as he turned to look at the ex-Neku. She looked about ready to throw up.

"Shut up Despair! Gah." Despair had a spear made out of light pointed at Keru's throat. "Why are you here?"

"I'm simply here to fulfill a few promises." Despair said matter-of-factly. He retracted his spear and turned to Appare. He approached her facing a reaction from the Soul Eater. He grabbed her hand and brought her up to him instead. "Promise 1: Your 'Wings' that I clipped" Despair pressed his forehead mark to hers. Her original energy passing into her. But the energy didn't stop there; more energy passed into her, and as each pulsation of energy passed into her, gold-tinged wings grew on her back, as well as her original cat features growing back. Her eyes also gained a golden rim on the outside of the pupil. With one final pulse of energy, a shining white Halo appeared around her head.

"A-appare! Put her down!" Kale and Keru said in grunted unison. Appare returned to the ground, her angelic features receding as she slumped to the ground. The two boys started moving towards her, but were lifted up by the same energy that made up the spear instead.

"Promise 2: I promised you I'd test your skills one day. You failed the test, so here's your punishment." Despair put his right hand on Kale's right hand, and his left in front of Keru's Body. "I now place upon you two the seal of Hades. By the power he granted to me, I seal the Cerberus's powers inside of this demon on my right." A blinding light exploded from Keru, and retracted itself into Kale's hand. "Keru, you get to keep your Clairvoyance, and Sensing powers, as well as minimal auric powers. Pretty much anything you'd need in class." The two were dropped to the ground. "Kale will have to approve any use of your magic from now on. Until you can prove yourself to Hades, that is."

"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?" Keru looked back to Despair in shocked agony. "YOU DID WHAT WITH MY POWER!!?!?!?!?!?!?!" He would've tried out his supposed lack of power if he had any energy to burn on it.

"What? I'm just doing what Hades told me to do. I am fullfilling my promises. I;m no antagonist to my fellow demons. Unless they get in my way. I'll prove it, I'll put us all back in school." A bell rang, and in a flash of light, the group was back in the school, with energy replenished.

They were walking down a Hallway together, Despair with them, energy replenished. "What did I tell you. I'm no bad guy." Despair muttered, while Keru glared at him.
