*Hello, I hope anyone who reads this enjoys it. Let me know what you all think.* “‘The Trimens go on their first ever mission, and they meet a troubled girl. what will happen now?’”

A long time ago, three young men and their leader walked along a dirt road in northern Fiore. The sky rushed against their faces, and anxiety inevitably filled the young boys as they stared at the road ahead. “Now, now, young men,  it’s not the time to sulk; you must not let those disgusting boys ruin your faces,” says Ichiya, as he jumps in circles around these young men in a shout. However, they cannot help it; Ren, Hibiki, and Eve are all new members, still new to magic, and their very first mission together: as the trimens!

“Mr. Ichiya, sir! I don’t know if this is such a good idea. I mean, this is an entire dark guild we are after. Shouldn’t you have taken anyone else?” Hibiki speaks up, and Iciya runs in Hibiki’s face. 

“No, you are all capable young wizards, and with me, as your fabulous and handsome leader, I will guide you all to victory!” The three young men looked at each other and smiled. They may be young, but Iciya, the strongest wizard of Blue Pegasus, taught them everything they needed to know. What can go wrong? 

After a while, the four of them made it to the dark guild named Eclipsed Thorn. Its hideout was once an old Fiore church, but a black substance stained the once bright white siding, and the cross that hung on the roof was broken in half. “I’m surprised no one is outside waiting for us, I guess we just go inside?” asked Eve. 

“ Shouldn’t we plan out ahead before we go inside?” 

“Don’t worry about that in your pretty head. Our perfume is supreme, and these boys have no chance against us, so let us head inside!” Ichiya then charges into the dark building. 

“ Boss, wait!” The trimens all cry out in confusion over Ichiya’s brazen attack but they must head forward. They all went, and saw a crowd of members of Eclipsed Thorn, already prepared for battle in a room with torn up walls but bright red velvet floors. 

“C'mon, pretty boys, ready for a fight!”

“I bet I can easily kick their asses!”

“I hope I don’t ruin your pretty faces!” 

However, those wizards didn’t know what hit them. Ichiya grabbed his vial and sniffed a strong sweet scent. The dark guild wizards saw Ichyiya grow twice his size and grow impeccable muscles and strength. Ichiya thrusts into battle, and the trib men join in. Eve created a snowstorm, attacking five wizards at a time. Ren threw a gust of wind, knocking out a couple of wizards, and Hibik, using his archive magic, stunned anyone who came near them. After a while, the horde of wizards was defeated. “WE DID IT, WE DID IT! The three men cheered and danced around in glee, but the leader could only stare at them foolishly.

“NOT NOW! We haven’t finished the mission, we need to go take down their leader. Veyl Duskbane.” They stopped their gleeful dancing and understood, and the four men then went and headed up the velvet stairs. 

When the men finally arrived at the top, they were met with the evil grin of the man himself: Veyl. His dark hair fell to his waist, his pale skin shone against the little sunshine that crept into the room, and his red eyes stared at the tribe men. The men noted he was only wearing black jeans and a fancy black furry coat, probably one he bought with all of his “dirty” money.  “Wow, nice get up,” said Ren sarcastically. Veyl could only just laugh.

“Oh, like you can talk, pretty boy. y’know I was just playing with my little princess right here; why did you guys have to come and ruin it?” Veyl whines at the thought of what he planned to do with the girl right next to him. Wait, a girl? The four men looked down at the man’s feet to see a girl around their age crumble against his feet, her light blonde hair disheveled, her skin bruised and cut to bits. Her only clothes was a small black dress that rode up to her thighs. They were horrified; how could a man do this to a woman? It was despicable. “C’mon princess, get up now for master.” The girl slowly stood up, her dark blue eyes open, and her face held no emotion. The trimens could only stare at her; all they could see was beauty.

“How could you do that! She’s just a girl, why would you-” Hibiki was cut off by Veyl’s horrid laughter. 

“Now, now, don’t be like that. She is grateful for what I have done, isn’t that right, princess?” The girl could only nod slowly. “How about you show these snobby Blue Pegasus wizards the power that I’ve bestowed on you.” She nodded once more and looked at the trimen. Suddenly, shadows surrounded her body, her once-blue eyes turned all black, and immense magic surrounded the room. 

“I’ll finish them off, master.” Before anyone could react, the girl ran close to Eve’s face and threw a shadow punch into his face.  Eve’s body flies into the torn-up wall, causing Eve to pass out. The three men, confused as to what happened, ready their magic and attack the girl. Ren pushes wind against her, pushing her against the ceiling, but she moves quickly and yells, “Shadow Demon Slayer, Demon’s Grasp!” and hits Ren with a shadow claw. Hibiki tries to stun her but is quickly thrown to the ground by the same attack. However, Ichiya, using the same vial, gained more strength and faced the girl.

“I don’t like hurting a beautiful lady like yourself, but you have hurt my teammates, so I shall stop this rampage of yours.” The girl stared at the man with disgust.

“ I can’t,” she mumbled under her breath. The trimens could only stare at her in confusion. “I CAN’T, I CAN’T DISAPPOINT MY MASTER. HE GAVE ME EVERYTHING. HE LOVES ME AND I LOVE HIM.” The shadows around her circles faster around her, her anger pulsated, her fist tightened, she was done. She turned to Ichiya and called another spell, “SHADOW DEMON LAYER, SHADOW EVIL RAG-” however, Hibiki shot another stun spell, causing her to stop mid spell which allowed Ichiya to move closer to her and land a hard punch, knocking her down.

The girl lies down in defeat. She couldn’t help but stare into the abyss, but before she could do anything, she heard her beloved speak. “GOD DAMMIT BITCH YOU’RE SO USELESS” Her heart shattered into pieces, her body became rigid, she felt so sick to her stomach. “God, I guess I have to finish this myself.” She then blanked out, only hearing the spells being cast right next to her. How could this have happened? How could Veyl do this to her, how could he, she gave him everything. She slowly stood on her trembling legs, the shadows coming back to surround her. Her gaze sharpened with anger, she slowly walked towards the battle. The three men were casting spells, but, of course, Veyl dodged them. As he looked at the tired trimen, he spoke once more, “You guys are so pathetic, I can easily just destroy-” The girl grasped her hands around Veyl’s throat, her shadows then joining her, tightening the grip around his neck. “What the hell are do-in-g?” The trimens looked at her with shock.

“Fuck you,” before she could kill him, Hibiki walked towards the girl, putting his hand on her right arm.

“Please, don’t do this.” He said softly.

“I can't. He ruined me for nothing.”

“I understand, but don’t do something you will regret.” She cries and lets go of Veyl, who has already passed out.

“Why, why doesn’t he love me?” The girl wept and fell into Hibiki’s arms. 

“ Don’t worry about that now, he doesn’t deserve you.” Ren, Eve, who has now woken up confused, and Ichiya looked at the two in awe. “How about you come and join Blue Pegasus? we can show what love is.” The girl looks at Hibiki with teary eyes and smiles lightly.

“Yeah, I should.

“Good, good, how about you tell us your name, pretty girl.” The girl then laughs quietly.
