"Suckmahnips23, Thou arrogant prick-eared slug!" shouted XYZ2xVagina. He punched his own fist repeatedly into the table and it made an ear shattering sound as he smacked the tabletop with each punch. The table cracked from the impact of his knuckles, sending chips and splinters all over the room and floor. All of the tables had been destroyed in their fight with the other members of Ataere. Now there was only a quarter of them left, 9 people.

Xyz2xVagina was the most powerful member of the guild at the moment. However, he wasn't the strongest by far. Not even close. His teammates were the most powerful out of all of Ataere, not including himself. However, they could be a little much sometimes when they fought against one another. They didn't mean to cause any real damage to the guild hall but sometimes it just felt like they were purposely hurting it just to watch it collapse around their feet.

"Thou rancorous fen-sucked horse-drench!!" yelled Suckmahnips23, who was currently trying to rip through another table. In spite of his large size, he was unable to penetrate the surface and he found himself being pushed back several times by his opponent. This went on for what seemed like hours before the table broke. It finally collapsed and the two opponents fell to the ground together. They were both knocked unconscious before they hit the floor.

"Art we done anon? O two cater-cousins of mineth," asked Numbah1dick, standing up from where he'd fallen after he got slammed into another table.

"F'r anon," XYZ2xVagina responded, slowly getting off of the ground. He looked at the damage around him and groaned slightly. There was a lot of blood spattered across the floor but he supposed it was okay since no one was hurt. He looked around the room and saw that most people were awake and staring at them. He grinned at the two of faces. "Thee knoweth, haply receiveth our team m're pow'rful?"

The other members of Ataere stared blankly at him before looking at the blood spatter on the ground.

"Are y'all... okay? Some of the blood came from their teammate which is why none of them spoke up. None of them wanted to admit that their teammate could easily have died if they hadn't stopped him or stopped fighting long enough for him to get past them.

"Thou'rt correct. We woulst be thine own kin'le. I do believe we must find thine old clan again and begin afresh."

"Indeed! If we are to be allies it mayhap it shall suffice to begin as such."

They walked off to gather up everyone else so they could leave.

"I am s'rry if 't be true mine own broth'rs has't did cause thee too many ado the present day. Thee can wend wh'rev'r thee liketh anon. Just maketh sure those gents both'r not us again while we art travelling."

The rest of Ataere nodded and followed him out of the building.

96_The next week passed quickly_69

When Tuesday finally arrived, Suckmahnips23 had gathered the last remaining members of Ataere at the guild house. They were now standing together talking amongst themselves, awaiting the arrival of their new ally who had decided to join them today after his training earlier in the day.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching them.

"Welcometh to the guild of Ataere, mine own sist'rs" A man's voice said.

There stood a tall, muscular man who appeared about thirty years old. His brown hair was cut short and combed neatly away from his face and it curled slightly upwards towards the center. His eyes were a deep forest green color and his nose was long and hooked. His skin was pale with freckles littering it like constellations and his cheeks were filled with stubble that grew almost entirely on his chin and cheeks. He wore a black leather jacket, tight black pants, and black boots. The outfit complemented his body shape nicely.

"We haven't arrived yet," Someone else responded. "But we art all eft to traveleth. We just needeth thee to esc'rt us to thy clan and introduceth us to the oth'rs."

"That'll b' easy enough. Follow me please. My name is XYZ2xVagina and these here are my friends," He said welcome to the two newest members, a short blonde woman named Jaime_lennoce and a taller brunette called Erika;arike, gesturing towards Numbah1dick, Suckmahnips23, and others.

The group of people began to follow XYZ2xVagina through the streets of Ataere, making their way towards where the other half of their team was waiting. After a few minutes of silence, Suckmahnips23 spoke up.

"Yeth, I am sure thou shalt do well, my brother."

"Thank thee," replied the tall man, leaving the guild hold and the two women to the Ataere.

They continued walking and soon arrived outside a small, white wooden door that read 'Admin'. A loud clanging noise could be heard coming from within the building and XYZ2xVagina opened the door and ushered the others inside. They walked through the hallways and into a spacious living room/office area. Everything in the room was white and it made sense as the walls were painted with blue and white flowers. The couches and chairs had a cream material that made it look extremely soft. A large window sat behind the couch closest to the doorway. On either side of this window sat bookshelves filled with different books.

At the far end of the room was an archway that led into another room. When XYZ2xVagina approached it, he turned to his teammates.

"Come eith'er thou art ready," He said motioning for them to come closer.

"What's that?" Asked Jaime_lennoce gesturing towards the hallway.

"It is the door to the main office space. Come." XYZ2xVagina said as he pushed the doors apart. As soon as the doors fully swung open they could hear the clanging from further down the hall and they walked slowly toward it until they entered the room. The room was larger than the living room they had been in, but the furniture was still similar except it was a lot more ornate. There was a giant oak desk covered in papers, a computer, several screens, and a bunch of filing cabinets in the corner that looked like they would take years to go through. There were also windows that overlooked the city and the sea below, though these ones faced the opposite direction instead of looking out onto the water. There weren't any other doors leading out of the room.

They noticed that there were three doors. One to the right, one to the left, and one directly in front of them. XYZ2xVagina pointed to the right door.

"That is the door to ze office space." He said.

The five of them entered the office. As soon as they stepped in, the doors closed silently behind them and they found themselves sitting at the huge mahogany desk in front of them. XYZ2xVagina stood in front of the desk while the others watched in awe.

The walls were a bright shade of light teal and there was no carpet on the floor as the walls were smooth. Most of the wall opposite the door had large windows which let in sunlight that lit up the entire room. Behind the desk was another large window that had three chairs set facing each other. There were two desks in front of the windows, one belonging to the chair and one belonging to the person sitting behind it.

The chair belonged to the former leader of Ataere, XYZ3xX_PB.

The chair was very comfortable and was made of dark grey leather that matched his black leather jacket and jeans perfectly. It had a thick red cushion that extended underneath the seat to form a seat. It was big enough for two people to sit side by side on the same side of the desk without touching each other. There was only one door on the wall, which had an odd symbol with a strange circle in the middle of it. On either side of the door there was shelves full of various books. On top of each shelf was a large glass ball that held various photos of different people and places.

This must've been where the team lived when they weren't doing things.

Suckmahnips23 leaned over to get a better look at the pictures on the shelves and gasped once he did so. All of the pictures depicted a young man dressed in tattered all black clothing, smiling brightly. In the photo, the boy was standing in front of what seemed to be a castle which had a massive stone structure built inside of it. He had jet black hair with streaks of silver running through it and a dark spot under the curve of his eyes.

"Who is tha' boy?" Erika;arike asked.

"He was our leader and our brother XYZ3xX_PB. His real name is Fin," XYZ2xVagina replied. "He is a little older than you."

The team looked around at all the books that filled the shelves. The majority of the books were bound in a dark red leather. There were also a couple that were plain white. A book titled The Rise of the World's Mightier Heroes and A History Of The Great Demon King of Japan, Volume 1. They even found a biography on the great demon king named Hijikata Toshizo and a novel, the Last Hope: The Last Stand of the Emperor's Imperial Army, Volume 1.

Jaime_lennoce picked up the novel. She took notice of a small note in its back cover that said something along the lines of 'Don't read before 11:00 PM or you'll probably lose your soul'. She shrugged her shoulders. Whatever the note meant, she wasn't going to look into it anyway.

"Do yeth' know who th' great demon king is?"

Jaime_lennoce thought for a moment and then said:

"No, lest I afraid not. that gent is quite famous actually,"

Then the conversation came to a pause while they waited for their leader to arrive.

Soon a loud clang echoed throughout the room. The door opened again and out strode a very tall young man, dressed in a dark green leather jerkin, with a matching waistcoat, knee high black trousers and boots. As usual, his hair was tied back loosely and although it was dark and messy, it managed to make him appear much more handsome than usual.

He gave a brief nod to both Erika;arike and Jaime_lennoce before turning to the rest of the team.

"I have arrived and thou brought two for me." He said holding his hand out for the others. They shook hands and he smiled. "Tis a pleasure to meeteth thee all. mine name is RetroGamerlil3 and I wilt beest taking care of thee during thy stayeth hither. thee can calleth me Brother if 't be true that suits thee."

A week passed, and the team finally decided that the best course of action was to split up. So now they were sitting in the kitchen talking amongst each other, trying their best to come up with names for everyone on the team.

They didn't want to use their real names and risk someone recognising them. But none of them had a good idea as to who should they call as their own team name. So after a bit of discussion, the group agreed that the best name they could think of was The Golden Triad of Destruction because Ataere is no longer functional as a team and guild's name.

"We're The Golden Triad," They said in unison.

A grin appeared on RetroGamerlil3's face and he chuckled softly, almost under his breath but loud enough for them to hear.

"Thou hast chosen a fine name my friends," He said.

He then cleared his throat and began to speak.

"As we all know yeth', 'tis customary to begin training immediately upon arrival here in the Land of Lava. This time, I will train thee personally and I shall attempt to bring thee into yon realm so that thee may learn how to wield a weapon with ease. I trust that thee would not need further encouragement."

There was nothing else needed to be said about the matter so he headed upstairs to prepare for the training. He disappeared into a nearby closet and grabbed a pair of wooden practice swords. He took them downstairs and handed the swords to each member of the team.

After everyone received a sword and a bow (the bow was smaller but it still looked impressive), RetroGamerlil3 took out two wooden targets. He pulled the pins out from the holes and placed the arrows on the target closest to him. He positioned himself just far enough away that he wouldn't hit anyone with the arrows.

"Now, for thine first lesson, th' arrows are called quivers; they carry the power of creation. When they are fired and the quiver is empty of their arrows, th' arrow's power is gone. When the quiver is full and ready, they are called bows. Th' arrows come in th' name of the world: Arrows of Power and Justice."

He pulled back the string of his bow and released the arrow into the center of his target.

"When th' arrows reach th' bottom, they explode." He said.

Again he released the string.

"They create th' sound of a thunderbolt." He said.

And again the string shot out toward the target.

"When th' explosion reaches thee, th' force will knock thee down."

Again the string flew out towards the target.

"When thou hits the ground, thee must rise swiftly and strike the ground."

The string shot out and hit the target dead centre.

"In order for thee to master these weapons, we will start at the beginning of the second level. Afterward, thou shalt proceed to the higher levels."

"Which are?" Jaime_lennoce asked curiously.

"I'll pray pardon me the next phase of our training anon on tonight, at which hour we're back in town. That way we won't be distracted by any unexpected visitors," RetroGamerlil3 said with a slight smirk. "Until then go'n' get started."

He turned and left. The team glanced at each other briefly before getting to work. They spent the afternoon training and then it was time for dinner. They ate a late supper and then retired for the night, with each of them taking their turns changing into their pajamas and falling asleep.

The next day was a little easier. The sun hadn't risen until noon so the team got up and took the elevator to the next floor of the mansion. As soon as the elevator stopped, they walked outside to find their new home.

It was completely white, with lots of windows that looked like they were looking right into the heart of the house. In between the windows, there were long corridors. They walked down the hallway to another set of stairs leading up to the first floor and went down them. Once they reached the bottom, they entered an enormous courtyard surrounded by trees. It was covered with grass and there were many tables spread out all over the place. Some of them contained food that was being prepared by maids wearing pink uniforms.

Their stomachs growled slightly causing one of them to chuckle lightly.

"This will help thee to feel alive when thee are in this realm," RetroGamerlil3 said motioning to the courtyard behind him. "This land is not meant to exist outside our world for thee seeth'nt? The place is ours and ours alone."

The team nodded their understanding. Then they followed RetroGamerlil3 to another building near one of the main gates of the compound. Inside, it was a library. On the walls were several shelves full of books containing all sorts of books.

Numbah1dick asked. "Is this where we beeth learning?"

"Indeed. Now tha'rt ready for th' third stage of th' training," RetroGamerlil3 replied. "Each step of th' training artes th' same as thine training. Thou'lt be working on those same things. We'll begin th' training here shortly. I hope that the food will do thine bellies justice."

With that he gestured to some servants who bowed respectfully before leaving through a different set of doors. They continued to walk down the hallways of the mansion and eventually came to a large room. They stopped in front of a massive desk in the middle of the room and RetroGamerlil3 spoke.

"Welcome my friends Please, take a seat." The four members did as he requested, sitting cross legged on the ground.

He took out a piece of paper that was lying on his desk and then picked up another parchment and pen, writing something down on both before he put both aside. Then, he stood up and walked slowly around the table. XYZ2xVagina walked towards RetroGamerlil3 with a question.

"May I ask what th' writing is th' letter t' th' person on the other side o'that sheet?"

RetroGamerlil3 smiled slightly, "It says here that th' letter is for one 'Tatana' of th' name of Tazu'in. This is the letter that I am required to give thee when I send thee on thy assignment to Th' World Beneath." He smiled again. "But that will be the last time tha'll be able to read thi' letter."

XYZ2xVagina frowned. "What's that mean? What's thi' job? Why do'nt thee tell us?"

"Yeh, we have heard about th' assignments that thee receive, but not what thou does once you've completed them," Suckmahnips23 added, sounding concerned.

RetroGamerlil3 smiled again.

"I'm sorry but as it says in thi' letter. I'm forbidden to disclose the details of the assignment until thou dost complete it or die." He paused for a second. "If anyth'at happened to thee in th' world below, I would have no recourse against thine death. It would be a shame for thine friend the Blueberry. But if'nt thou make it through the mission, thou wilt be rewarded by the kingdom. If'nt thou fail'st, however..."

"Th' King would reward thee either with th' life of th' one killed, or with th' life of the King. Which thou'rt willing to accept?" RetroGamerl3 asked.

"Yes, this is so. However, if'nt we fail, thou'lt never see th' king again."

Suckmahnips23 nodded knowingly.

"We understand... Thank ya, mister," Erika;arike said politely.

"Of course," RetroGamerlil3 said, smiling once more. Do continue, though, with thy training."

As he had instructed them earlier on, the four members of the Team went through the exercises and drills that the Master had taught them yesterday morning and finished off their training by eating dinner together again before retiring early to rest. When they returned home the next morning, they were surprised by the size of their rooms. The walls of the second floor were made entirely of stone. There was a large bed in the centre of each wall and a large door on the other side of that door. A large glass window covered each wall allowing them to look down onto the garden below.

All of their bags and weapons were already in their rooms along with their luggage. One of the guards opened the doors and told them that breakfast was ready in the dining room. While waiting, they decided that they wanted to explore their rooms a bit. Each of them chose their own room. They were pleased when it became clear that theirs was the largest one in the house.

They sat down to eat breakfast at the end of a very long day. After breakfast, the team headed downstairs to meet their instructors. They found them in the family dining room drinking wine. After greeting them all they settled themselves at one of the long tables while the food magically appeared in front of them. When they had been served their meals they gathered round the table, chatting away.

As they talked, it seemed as though they were having the same conversation every single day.

Then... they saw a giant sign that represented a closing server, destroyer of worlds, and the final judgment day, floating on the guild of long lost word Ataere. It says...

"The End"
