The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The Shadowlander fastbiters fled in anger growling about payback.

Nani nodded and laughed "Taro?" she gave an evil smirk her eyes drifting around the group "Jenna? Come to die have you?" she began circling them,she was covered in fresh blood,from Littlefoot by the looks of it.


Nahla raised her head and lapped up the water taking it all down in seconds,her eyes drifted to the ground "Is Littlefoot ok?" she whispered.

The valley fast biters also fled, following the two that had Littlefoot.

"Well, we were sort of just paying a visit and see if we could get Littlefoot," said Taro. He noticed the carnivores taking him out of the Shadowlands. "But... never mind. We'll be leaving now."

Nani laughed "Littlefoot is dead,murdered by myself. What an honor for him,to be killed by the own feet of the mighty Nani" she laughed insanely.

"You're insane," said Grandma, shaking her head with disbelief.

"Yeah, we were just about to go anyway," said Taro. "Come on guys, there's no need for us to be here any more." He turned to walk away, but stopped, whispering to his mother that the fast biters had Littefoot when she gave him a confused look.

Nani laughed and walked off.

Littlefoot was coated in blood and had wounds everywhere,just what did they do tot him? One of his legs dangles completely useless.


Jenna ran forward screaming at the sight of her son.


Nahla closed her eyes for a second before asking "Lily? I just wanna say...I think of you as..like a cousin....but I feel you more as a sister..but I guess we are called cousins now" she chuckled "Anyway bottom line is..I love you,you were the first friend I ever had you understood me when no one else did".

The fast biters backed off when the longneck family approached. All they could smell was fresh blood and if they didn't get away quickly it would drive them insane.

The longnecks were horrified at the sight of Littlefoot's body.

"Oh, my poor little one," Grandma cried, running up next to him. "What have they done to you...?"


Lily stayed silent for a while before eventually speaking. "Cousins sounds good," she said quietly. "But please don't call me a sister... I failed at being one of those completely...."

Jenna nudged Littlefoot hard "Littlefoot? Speak to me"  tears poured down her eyes. She turned to the rest of the family in panic gaining to response from her son "What do we do?".

Nahla spat blood out of her mouth "I'm sure it was not like that...I failed as a daughter...twice"

"We need to take him back to that valley," said Taro. "I know something there that might help."

"Let's just hope that ghost doesn't show up again," Grandma muttered under her breath.


"If you think taking your sister's life away isn't being a complete failure..." Lily just realised what she was saying and ran off, tears flooding from her eyes.

Cira watched the young longneck and groaned something, but she didn't go after her. She was told to watch over Nahla, and that is what she was going to do.

(LILY WHAT DID YOU DO? :blink: )

"LILY!" Nahla screamed trying to get up and follow her,she managed to get some way before slipping and falling down a slope "What else can go wrong?" she groaned,her landing spot was out of sight. So she just laid there and cried silently.


Jenna looked down at her son "Do you think he is stable enough for the trip?"

Cira roared in shock. She kept growling, looking for Nahla, but calling for Lily.


"Well, if one of us has him on our back and we're careful, we might be all right," Taro said. He growled at the fast biters, telling them to leave, and they did so.

Jenna sighed "What are his odds of surviving?" she asked Taro still looking down at the mess that was her son.

Nahla moved further away,she was scared of the fastbiters. Because they reminded her too much of The Shadowlands. She did not undersatnd that these ones were gonna help her.

"I don't know... " he said quietly. "But this does remind me of... something close to when... I first found Lily."

Cira understood the fear of the young longneck and went to find someone else who might be able to help her.

Jenna sighed again and looked back at The Shadowlands "It saddens me knowing now this is what Nahla went through all her life..and speaking of Nahla and Lily we better get back..."

Renee walked forward carrying a plant "Here give your child these,they not a magical cure but it will keep him stable enough to survive your trip home" she nodded and began to walk away as Hades called out her name,he knows what she had just did.

Grandma looked at the plant that Renee had given her.

"Do you think we can trust her?" she asked.


"She's here?" came a voice. Two fast biters approached Nahla. One was Cira, the other was a fast biter who could speak leaf-eater.

Jenna huffed "Could be poison for all we know"


Nahla shook in fear backing up,her blue eyes wide.

"Yeah," Taro agreed. "She may be trying to help us but she's a Shadowlander. That and Nahla never said anything about her being nice, or anything at all. I thought she was abused by everyone she knows, and that could include her."


"Hey, it's okay," said the other fast biter, who was larger than Cira was. "We're not gonna hurt you, okay?" Cira growled something. "Cira was wondering if you wanted something to eat?" the other one translated. Cira nodded, looking at Nahla with concern in her eyes.

Jennna thought a second "Do you think she tried to stop us by keeping a busy by her little chit chat? She knew Littlefoot was dying and she just stood there talking like everything was fine.." she shook her head "Do we give Littlefoot the plant or no?"

Nahla just whimpered "Fastbiters are bad..you's work for my father" she did not seem to understand that this was a different pack.

"Hmm... I wouldn't," said Taro. "Just in case. We'll bring it anyway if he gets any worse... but I can send one of the fast biters ahead if we need that other plant I was talking about."

The other fast biter scoffed. "We work for nobody," she said. "And certainly not a longneck... well, maybe Taro, but that's only because he's family to us." She growled at Cira, telling her to find some food for the longneck, and she walked off. "Name's Ahra, by that way," said the larger one that stayed. "What's yours?"

Jenna stared at the plant "But what if it isn't poison?" she questioned herself outloud.

Nahla took  shaky breath "N-N-N-Nahla but..my parents call me 'Dud'".

"We don't know," said Grandpa. "But I don't to take the risk."

"Gee, that's a bit harsh," said Ahra, walking closer to Nahla. "Well, nice to meet you Nahla."
