Nothing to say really folks, just enjoy, cause Tatsumi will finally arrive... Cause I suck at writtin' filler.

Two weeks had passed since Dante joined Night Raid... And thus two weeks since he was designated as Devil Arm's Overseer by Najenda.

Which meant Mine was stuck with him for two weeks as she was set on learning how to use Lilith, with varying success.

"RAAAAGH!" Mine shouted as she attempted once more to physically remove from her arm, "WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Mine shouted. By now Mine knew Lilith was having fun at her expense, Mine's dreams were being invaded after almost every mission she went on and the demon molested her dream self while slipping in hint on how to use the new weapon on Mine's arm.

Three things Mine learned about the weapon. First, like Pumpkin, range was meaningless to the weapon so if for whatever reason she couldn't use Pumpkin she could snipe with Lilith, plus she didn't have to worry about the wind thanks to the demonic shot. Second was that Lilith was imbuing demonic strength into the arm covered by the Devil Arm, as she learned when she slapped Lubbock and sent him flying. And third, the spike on the elbow of Lilith could extend and retract, so while not the most conveniently placed weapon Mine didn't have to worry about getting attack from behind as bad as before with Lilith active.

'Aw...' Lilith cooed, 'Come now my pink little cutie, haven't you gotten used to me yet? I can be all sorts of fun if you just stop being such a turn off. Honestly do you even want children?'

"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" Mine shouted slamming the Devil Arm into a wall.

'Fine, be that way.' Lilith teased, 'Just remember to get that stick out of your ass, or better yet... Stick it in your little cunt.'

With that statement leaving Mine red, Lilith receded from Mine's mind.

"Is Lilith really annoying you that much Mine?" Sheele asked as she stepped into Mine's room, after hearing Mine's shouting.

"You wouldn't believe how much she is." Mine sighed looking at the Devil Arm, "I hope all Devil Arm's aren't like this."

"They can't be all bad." Sheele said.

"You'll think differently once you've got a Devil's Arm." Mine scoffed, "So did you need something?"

"Huh?" Sheele asked, "Um... The Boss called a meeting over something I think..."

Mine sighed, not out of annoyance, and stood up, "Well, Lilith never talks when the boss does so let's get everyone together."

[]

Mine seethed at the sight of Dante, his boots propped up on the table with a slice of that Pizza he's always making in his hand. She also noticed Leone's amused expression as she counted a sack of coins.

"Thank you for getting Mine, Sheele." Najenda said and she sat straight, "I'm assuming from your shouting Lilith is still giving you trouble."

"Yes." Mine said, then she looked at Dante, "Are all Devil Arm's that annoying?"

Dante just shrugged as he lifted his slice over his head, "Only the one's that really like to talk... Granted anything that has some Succubus energy will get into your head pretty fast."

"You sound like you have experience." Lubbock noted, only to get a shrug from Dante.

"The fact of Devil Arms isn't a concern at the moment." Najenda said, "However it seems that Lilith's summoning has stirred something, the Rebellion has reported several instances of Demons appearing across the Empire, usually alone or in small groups of three at the most, thankfully they don't seem to care in assisting the Empire, or Danger Beasts."

Dante chuckled, "Well then it's a good thing I'm here then." Dante said tossing his slice of pizza perfectly back on it's plate, half eaten, "I'll see about cataloging all the demons I can recall fighting when I've got the time."

"Thank you Dante." Najenda said, "And from now on, you'll not only oversee training in Devil Arms when we attain them, but I'm designating you as the main assassin in dealing with any Demon's that appear during our missions."

Dante responded with only a thumbs up.

"Continuing on, we've got a new mission and everyone is going save for me." Najenda said, "I need to report a few things to the Rebellion. Leone, explain the mission."

"Sure thing boss." Leone said sitting up, "Okay so there's this chick named Aria, her whole thing is looking around, finding some poor sucker-"

"Like the guy you robbed today?" Akame interjected.

"Yeah." Leone said grinning, "Anyway she finds whatever poor sucker that's caught outside without a place, takes them to her family, treats 'em nicely for a day or two before taking them to the families personal torture shed and... Well leave that to your imagination."

Dante raised an eyebrow, "Hang on, is this Aria chick a blonde kid with blue eyes?" Dante asked.

"Pretty sure." Leone said, "Why?"

Surprisingly Dante started to laugh, "Oh ho man that is funny." Dante said coming down to a chuckle, "She tried to offer me a place at her place the night I kicked Akame's rear."

"I stabbed you." Akame deapanned.

"Listen Schoolgirl, do you really think you can swing my sword around like that katana of yours?" Dante asked.

Akame simply glared at Dante, "I want a rematch." She demanded.

[]

The next day Akame was sent to recon the torture families mansion, all while Dante was following the woman herself, and it seemed she had roped in another sucker, some average looking kid with a sword on his back.

'Kid had no idea what's he's following.' Dante thought looking at Aria, then chuckled at how her visage so overly covered her actual nature.

Shaking his head Dante wandered the town, keeping Aria in sight, while also keeping an eye out for any Demon desperate enough to come out in public.

[]

That night the entirety of Night Raid was attacking the mansion, save for Dante, who stood at the torture shed the family had...

"Should have figured Demons would be flocking to this place." Dante said chuckling and looking at the flying creatures that were circling the shed.

Blood-Goyles, living statues created by demons and brought to life by demon blood, they may only be a small body with wings, but they had the terrifying ability to multiply once they've awakened and were struck by a melee weapon.

However like many demons, Blood-goyles had not gotten used to the modern weapon called the gun, enough bullets could remove the blood from the Demon's body, rendering it temporarily a statue once more, and vulnerable.

One more thing to note about Blood-Goyles is the fact they are really simple, all they can do is rush you.

And that's what one of them did, flying straight toward Dante, who smirked and pulled out his trusted double barrel shotgun, the Coyote-A, not the most reliable at long range, but when a Blood-goyle get's right in Dante's face.

*Bang!* *Wham!*

A Single Shotgun blast, and a well placed punch with Beowulf destroyed the demon quickly.

The remaining Demons didn't last much longer.

"So you three enjoy the show." Dante asked turning around to his onlookers, the average boy, an average guard, and Aria.

"Who are you?" The average boy asked drawing his sword as the guard raised his gun.

"You again!?" Aria shouted, "You're with Night Raid!?"

"What!?" The average boy cried out.

"Night Raid?" Dante asked, "You mean like her?"

The three then turned around to see Akame had landed behind them, causing the average boy to point his sword at Akame.

"You're not a target." Akame deadpanned as she shot toward the boy.

"Huh?" The boy asked before Akame jumped off his head, sending the boy stumbling as the guard started to fire at Akame.

"But you are." Akame said as she rushed the guard, dodging his bullets, and cutting him in half.

"Not very stylish Akame." Dante sighed putting his shotgun away, "Still, points for speed."

All the while Aria had screamed and fallen over, causing Akame and Dante to look at her, Akame glanced at Dante.

"She ain't a demon, not my place." Dante said kicking the rubble on the Blood-goyles as Akame walked toward Aria.

"You deserve this." Akame said raising her weapon.

"Stop right there!" The boy shouted charging Akame, causing her to jump aside, landing next to Dante.

"I told you you're not a target." Akame said confused, "You don't have to die."

"Yeah well I can't help you murder a helpless little girl." The boy said, not noticing Aria sliding over to the soldier's gun.

"So you won't step aside." Akame said.

"I'm not gonna back down now!" The boy shouted.

"Kid." Dante said stepping forward, noticing Leone coming up from behind, "Let me just say this, you're really not in a good-"

At that moment Aria had picked up the rifle and fired it's last shot, managing to hit Dante in the head with the shot, causing it to snap back.

The whole area was silent, as if waiting for Dante to fall over.

"I can never meet any nice ladies huh?" Dante sighed as he set his head back straight, idly digging the bullet out of his skull, causing Aria and the boy to look at his in shock.

In that moment Akame charged, clashing blade with the boy once before jumping, kicking him, then stabbing him in the chest.

"Tatsumi!" Aria called out.

"Huh." Dante said finally pulling the bullet out, "So that's the kids name."

Surpsing everyone, Tatsumi stood back up, "Why'd you back off all of a sudden?" Tatsumi asked.

"Because it felt like I hit some kind of armor." Akame explained.

Tatsumi chucked and reaching into his shirt, pulling out a wooden idol, "I guess the villagers were looking out for me." Tatsumi said, this caused Dante to bark out a laugh.

"The Murasame, beat by a block of wood." Dante chuckled, "Listen kid, that girl you're trying to protect kinda needs to die, not my call though, right Akame?"

"She must die." Akame deadpanned.

Dante just sighed as Tatsumi flinched, "H-hey wait a minute lady, you said you wanted to steal this girls money didn't you? There's no reason to kill her!" Akame then chose to lunge forward as Tatsumi continued, "This isn't a war you know there's no reason to kill her! Please!"

Murasame alost touched Tatsumi's neck until Dante pulled Akame back, right before Leone could.

"Still as straight forward as the day we met." Dante said chuckling.

"What are you doing?" Akame asked.

"Well I kinda owe this guy a favor." Leone said.

"Plus we've got time." Dante pointed out, "It's not even midnight yet."

"I'm pretty sure Tatsumi would like to cash in my favor now." Leone added.

Tatsumi stared at Leone for a moment before looking ticked off, "Hey you're that girl with the boobs!" Tatsumi shouted pointing at Leone.

Dante and Leone both laughed at that, "No wonder you got scammed kid." Dante said walking toward them.

"Yep, that's what they call me." Leone said happily, all while Tatsumi growled, "Listen, earlier you were concerned we were here to kill innocent people."

"Huh?" Tatsumi asked as Aria flinched.

"I think you might see things differently when you see what's behind that door." Leone finished as Dante reached the door.

"Whew." Dante said waving his and in front of his nose, "That ugly ass frog Dagon smelled better than this." Dante then lifted Ebony and shot the lock off the door, followed by him kicking it open, Tatsumi walking up behind him as Leone grabbed Arai by the arm, stopping her from attempting to flee. "Welcome to the capital kid. This isn't Hell, but it's damn close."

Tatsumi gasped as he looked around the room, several corpses were hanging from chains or tied to torture devices, some people had even died holding onto the bars of their cages.

"What is all this?" Tatsumi asked.

"Aria's family here get's off on picking up country folk, treatin' them nicely, then torturing them for their sick pleasure." Dante said, "Like I said kid, the Capital is pretty damn close to Hell."

"S-Sayo!" Tatsumi shouted running up to a woman's corpse, fresh blood still dripping from her body, her clothing stripped off and one of her legs cut off. "No... That's... That's... Sayo..."

"Friend of yours?" Dante asked noticing Aria trying to wriggle out of Leone's arms.

Instead Leone grabbed Aria by the head, "Oopsie, didn't really think that we were through with you yet did you?" Leone demanded.

"There people really did this?" Tatsumi asked.

"Yes they did." Leone asked, "And their guards are just as guilty for keeping it hidden."

"She's lying!" Aria shouted, "I had no idea anything like that was going on!"

"I dunno girl." Dante said, "I mean you clearly flinched when Leone said you weren't innocent."

"Tatsumi..?" A weak voice asked. This caught the boy's attention over to a cage that had a single person inside, "Is that... Is it you?"

Tatsumi's eye went hollow with shock as he looked at the guy in the cage.

"And the witness speaks." Dante said pointing Ivory at Aria stopping her squirming in Leone's grasp.

"I-Ieyasu?" Tatsumi gasped running over to his friend.

"She invited us to stay at he house..." Ieyasu rasped, "She gave us something to eat and then... everything went black... Then we woke up here... A-and then... that girl... that girl...Tortured Sayo to death!" Ieyasu then lost strength in his arms and legs then collapsed.

"FINE!" Aria shouted removing Leone's hand from her head an knocking Ivory aside, not that Dante put much effort into keeping it there, "Fine so I did it okay! She's trash whose just worthless, they're nothing but, but, but livestock for me to use as I see fit! Garbage like her doesn't deserve the right to have such beautiful hair, mine is always giving me trouble, so I treated her extra special, she should be honored that I gave her some much attention! Ungrateful-"

Dante immediately shot her in the foot turning her rant into a cry of pain, "Sorry but would anyone actually believe that was a good reason to kill someone?" Dante asked, "Honestly demons attack human for a much more sensible reason at least."

"He's right, you are kind of disturbing." Leone pointed out as Akame drew her weapon.

"I'll kill her." Akame said.

"Wait." Tatsumi said.

"Let me guess... This is a personal matter for you kid?" Dante asked.

In a flash Tatsumi had cut Aria in nearly in half, "Yes..." Tatsumi growled.

Their attention was soon pulled away from Aria's corpse, save for Dante as Ieyasu began to puke blood.

As everyone else went to the dying man, Dante instead looked over at Aria's corpse, "I'm amazed there wasn't a demon latching onto her." Dante said, then he looked at Tatsumi as he cried at his friends corpses.

Dante sighed and stepped up to Tatsumi, "You want to see them again? Alive?" Dante asked.

"Don't tell me there a Devil Arm for that." Akame asked, slightly shocked.

"Yes!" Tatsumi cried out grabbing onto Dante's trenchcoat, causing the man to recoil a bit, "Please!"

"It won't be cheap kid." Dante pointed out, "You'll have to join Night Raid, and so will they."

"I'll do it, I'm sure they will too." Tatsumi begged.

"It's not gonna be something I can always do, so this is a one time thing." Dante pointed out, "And I'll be speaking to the boss on your repayment to me."

"Fine, I don't care if you put me in slavery, I just want my friends back!" Tatsumi cried.

Dante chuckled, And reached into his coat, pulling out two of the three Gold Orb he always keeps on hand, "Just a warning kid, your life is about to become hell on earth."

Dante then pulled out Ivory and shot down the rack holding Sayo up, Tatsumi catching her body before it hit the ground.

"Gonna have to cauterize that before I do this." Dante said, "Hold these Leone." He added shoving the two gold orbs into Leone's hands.

"Huh?" Leone asked as Rebellion vanish, replaced by a pair of scimitars that had a humanoid head at the pommels, one blade was blue and swirling in wind, the other was red and coated in flames.

"It's been a while since we were drawn." The red blade said, startling the others as Dante pulled it off his back, slamming the pommel onto the concrete as he did so.

"No talking." Dante ordered the blade, before using the flaming side to burn shut the bleeding leg before setting the blade back on his back, then grabbing one of the Gold Orbs from Leone, "You asked what Gold Orbs did once before? Well they do the impossible, they revive the dead."

And thus Dante slammed the orb onto Sayo's chest, right where her heart was, shattering the orb into powder.
