Happy Birthday to me!
Hello dear readers and here is your next chapter of Devil Hunter... NOW STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT IT!
Sheesh, It's annoying enough that I was sick on new years (Possibly still sick today) without people bugging me about updating this story.
Anyway enjoy this chapter as best you can folks.

"Not too shabby looking." Dante said after a brief whistle in appreciation at Night Raid's base of operations.
"Come, The Boss will want to meet you." Akame said walking ahead.
This caused Dante to sigh, "Jeez schoolgirl, lighten up a bit." He said.
Leone shrugged, "That's just how she is." She admitted, "No fun at all."
[]
It didn't take long for Akame to gather up the other members of Night Raid.
The most noticeable to Dante was Bulat, a large man with black pompadour styled hair.
Next was the pink haired Mine, who was wearing far too much pink for Dante's tastes and had a large gun strapped to her back.
The next was the green haired Lubbock, who was a bit on the short side compared to the others.
Next was Sheele, the purple haired girl wearing glasses and keeping an absurdly large pair of scissors close to her.
And in the middle of them was Najenda, a white haired woman with a bulky mechanical right arm, and missing her right eye.
"Hey boss!" Leone cheered throwing an arm around Dante, "I found your long lost brother!"
This joke was met by silence, up until Najenda spoke.
"I'm afraid I don't have any other family Leone." Najenda said flatly, "Though I'll admit he does look like it though."
"Who the hell is this guy anyway?" Mine demanded.
"Well since you asked Pinky," Dante started, causing Mine's eye to twitch, "The names Dante."
"Akame, Leone, why did you bring Dante here?" Najenda asked.
"We fought." Akame said.
"And he still lives." Najenda figured, "Were you fighting at your best."
Akame nodded, "He was stronger than me, and faster." She said, "He managed to disarm me."
This caused the group to go wide eyed, "Then how come he didn't kill you?" Lubbock asked.
"I stabbed him while his guard was down." Akame said.
"Were did you stab him?" Bulat asked looking over Dante, "I don't see a wound."
Instead of replying verbally, Akame grabbed Rebellion off of Dante's back and stabbed him through the chest once more.
"GWAH!" Dante cried out as he was pushed through the floor.
This had caused the others to jump in surprise, save for Leone.
"Jeez Akame, did you have to kill him!?" Sheele shouted, "Right here?"
Najenda however noticed Leone wasn't reacting, "Leone, do you know why Akame just impaled a potential recruit?" Najenda asked.
"I'd like to know that as well." Dante groaned as he sat up, "Seriously lady, what gives?"
"What the hell?" Lubbock gapped.
"So that's how he's still alive." Najenda mused looking at Dante as he pulled out Rebellion, then her focus was on Rebellion, "What an unsettling sword."
"Uh... how are his clothes not torn?" Lubbock asked.
"He also has a Teigu?" Akame said.
"What!?" Mine shouted.
"No I don't." Dante said setting his chair back up.
"Yes you do." Leone scolded, "Those gauntlets that let out a light."
"Sorry, Beowolf isn't a Teigu." Dante waved off.
"Then what the hell are they? Shingu?" Leone demanded.
Dante spent a moment in silence, only grinning.
"They aren't Shingu are they?" Najenda spoke up.
Mine faced Najenda with wide eyes, "Then he lying!" Mine shouted, "Without the proper forge then it's impossible for him to make weapons like what Leone and Akame are talking abo- AH!" Mine shouted, being cut off when Dante had pulled out Ebony and began firing at her feet.
"Your boss is right about them not being Shingu." Dante said as Mine was dancing around where the bullets hit the ground, making Leone chuckle, "Now are you gonna keep quite so I can explain or do you just like dancing."
"Stop it!" Mine shouted, more in a panicked tone than the authoritative one she was going for, before Dante finally let up.
"There's no way a gun should be able to hold that many bullets..." Akame noted.
"Dante." Najenda said, "Just what is the weapon called, 'Beowolf'?"
Dante smirked, "Tell me, do believe in demons?" Dante asked, "And I don't mean incredibly strong or evil humans or those Danger Beasts, I mean straight from Hell demons."
"They don't exist." Najenda said flatly, "If they did they would be crawling around the capital."
"And they are." Dante said, "I killed off about twenty lesser demons before Akame tried to cut my head off."
"Then how come we haven't seen any?" Bulat asked.
Dante just shrugged, "Hell if I know." He said, "Probably only showed themselves to me sensing demonic energy coming from me."
"Are you saying Beowolf carries Demonic energy?" Leone asked tilting her head, "Where the heck do you find such a thing?"
This caused Dante to bark out a laugh, "Beowolf carries demonic energy because it was a Demon, now it's a Devil Arm." Dante said.
This caused Najenda to lean forward, "And what is a Devil Arm?" Najenda asked.
"A Devil arm is a significantly powerful Devil that has been beaten, and either forcibly or willing formed into a weapon." Dante said, "Different Demon's take different forms, and they usually carry trait of said demons power."
"And Beowolf took the form of Gauntlets." Akame deduced.
"Wait wait wait wait." Mine cut off, "First you're saying Demons are real, and now you're telling me you killed a powerful one and forced it into the form of a pair of gauntlets?"
"Technically it was my brother that killed Beowolf and stuck it in the form of gauntlets and greaves." Dante said, "But it's not like the puppy didn't put up too big a fight against me either."
"And your guns?" Najenda asked, "Most handguns don't carry more ammunition than a machine gun."
"Custom made." Dante said, "Demonic energy goes a long way."
Najenda nodded, "Dante, are there any limits on Devil Arms?" She asked.
"Aside from limitations on the weapons themselves?" Dante mused, "Not that I've encountered."
"Are you saying you can potentially use dozens of Devil Arms at once!?" Leone shouted.
"Sure." Dante said, "If you can kill off multiple Powerful demons."
"I'm not buying it." Mine said, "They sound too powerful with almost no drawbacks, it's too good to be true."
Dante smirked, and reached behind him, Rebellion vanishing in a brief red flash and was replaced by a new weapon that Dante then hurled at Mine, which was soon embedded on the table in front of mine, causing her to jump and squeak.
It was another large sword, this one having a golden blade that was much straighter than Rebellion, a dragon head shaped guard with two wings sprouting form it, with a swirling hilt that lead to two skulls on the pommel. Electricity occasionally sparked across the blade.
"Yikes." Lubbock said gulping, reaching out to tough the sword.
"Wouldn't do that if I was you." Dante said getting up, "Among Devil Arms Alastor's a bit on the picky side, considering he tried to kill me while he was a sword when I found him."
Lubbock gulped and pulled back, not wanting to risk getting killed by a sword that can apparently move on it's own as Dante grabbed the electrical sword.
"So these Devil Arms aren't without drawbacks." Najenda said.
"Well sometimes." Dante said, "If you're lucky a Devil Arm that you find already a weapon will accept you if you're strong enough."
"Do you have any other Devil Arms?" Najenda asked.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." Dante said shrugging, "I can give away all my secrets just like that."
Najenda nodded in understanding, "Well Dante, I think you'd fit in perfectly among Night Raid."

Well folks, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. Now there are a couple of things I'd like to mention.
First off, it will not be Dante that get's the Devil Arms, I mean he's got enough to lay waste to anything dumb enough to cross his path (Which happens to be just about anything), it will be the AGK characters that will get Devil Arms.
Second, I already have a small list of characters who I know what to give.
Tatsumi, Mine, Leone, and Esdeath (Yeah, I know I'm insane) are the currently confirmed future Devil Arm wielders... Mostly because they are the only one's I've figured out Devil Arms for.
As for those who have PM/Made Comments about Vergil... Hmm... How can I put this that will leave speculation open on both ends... Oh I know.
*Covers mouth in duct tape*
Mmmph hmm mphh.
