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

Land Before Time: The Stone of Light

Guido raised his hand and scratched his head as he rubbed it, obviously confused.  "Ah, I don't understand, what do you mean?  Is this some sort of trick?" He asked, then looking at Longtail and Petrie, they were more experienced in this sort of stuff then he was so may know more of what they should do.

Longtail looked just as confused as Guido and asked "Why are you letting us go and what do you mean by 'him'? Is he like your boss or something?"

"Maybe he's grumpy, like Cera's dad is sometimes." Guido said, then quickly looked around to be sure Cera wasn't around to hear what he said.  "And Mister Clubtail can be sometimes too."

"That is correct" they turn to see a strange looking creature with red skin with black spikes coming out of his black hair on his head with cold blue eyes staring at them.

"General Vil..." Sli hissed

"So you and your fellow scarles are free from my control again, that story I thought I destoryed it... no matter, I will just have to activate this again" Vil pulled out a device from his pocket "Now back..." suddenly he heard a cry of a large dinosaur and next thing he knew a tail smashed into him sending him flying and landing on the ground sliding to a halt.

"Not a Chance Vil." Malo then smashed the device with her foot.

"Commander Malo... I see you have a new look" Vil got up with a smirk on his face still and the other kids arrived.

"Vil it over" Sli aimed her weapon at him "Your Zarkanain mind tricks are gone"

"Yes that ture... but" he raise a finger then turn to his left and to everyones surpise Topys showed up. "I have control of the minds of all the dinosaurs in this Valley and they obey me part from these kids since the device had zero affect on them but that doesn't matter this does..." Vli chuckled then look to Cera "Kill her" he points to Cera

Topys turn to Cera and start walking towards her growing and ready to attack "Daddy... wh-what are you doing" Cera gulped backing up from the mean look in her fathers eyes as he came closer.

Malo then turn to Vil "What do you want?"

"The stone. give it and I will hault the attack and give me the shuttle and I will free them from the affects" Vil said coldly "Or I will just leave him to finish her off.

Longtail had to admit he was confused and that caused him to panic as he finally decided on impulse to attack General Vil. He tried to bite her arm and then swung his tail trying to hit her face.

Vil grabbed his beak then caught his tail and giving a twist tosses him into the dirt and place his boot on Longtail's back pressing down a little "I wonder what will happen to you if I push down harder" he look to the others "Now I have more then what i need, do what i say or I will break his back and he will never fly or walk or use that tail of his again" General Vil said to them all.

Suddenly a beam catch his eyes and he see Topys stopped in his tracks "What are you doing? kill that brat!"

"I will not harm my child" Topys turned at Vil

"Andrew..." he turn and look to the high point of the rocks and see the humaniod Triceratops standing there with a phaser in his hand. "So you want to play" Vil look to Swift then Longtail. Picking up the flyer he throws Longtail right into Swift knocking the stone out of his hand and rolls to a stop next to Vil and he picks it up. "Now What are you going to do?"

"This"  Andrew push his badge and Vil aim his weapon and fires but Andrew teleports away and so does everyone else around the area and Vil left standing alone

"Curses to that dino captain... curses to the SCF and Federation..." Vil then pulled the leaves off looking at the sublight stone "But i do have this and if they want the dinosaurs free they will have to give up the ship" Vil chuckled "It time to pay some parients a visit" and Vil walk back to the Valley.

---

As for the others they all appear outside Andrew's shuttle craft and Topys is shocked and confused what just happened he was in one place and now another. But Longtail as he recover notice Malo not phased by it almost like she knew about the transporter already.

I don't know how you did that....but let's do it again!" cried Longtail "But I really thought I was going to die...thank you Andrew." said Longtail with a frown on his face.

"It Andrew's transporter" Cera said to Guildo

"The threehorn that stands on two?" Topys look to Cera and she nods "The legend is ture..."

"Legend?" Ducky looked confused

"No time for legends and technology explaining, Malo managed to destory the device but Vil already used it on the whole Great Valley, all part from you lot are obaying Vil with no free will" Andrew told them all

"Yes like he did to us" Sli sighed.

"I know this is sudden and fast for most of you but we need to get that stone and free that valley from the mind control. Which is no easy task. Vil is crawl and dark without a soul of a care to anyone. His kind will do anything to crush the federation..." Andrew sound in a voice that sounded drained of any hope of winning.

"Pfffft! I don't care this Vil can control minds or walk through rocks...I'll still beat them all!" Longtail then started to look around hoping to find someone to fight.

"You must be Starfleet dino captain I heard them mention."Guido said.  He thought for a moment before continuing, "Why can't you bring the stone here like you did us?"  He thought a bit more the equivalent of his eyebrows arching as he thought.  "We need a plan before we go, anyone got any plan?" He asked looking around.

"Okay I am ready to do the best I can to help you get that stone back Andrew" Littlefoot said.

"ME not! Me think this way to complicated. Count me out of this" Petrie said.

"But, Petrie the whole Great Valley is depending on us."Littlefoot said.

Petrie turned his back to Littlefoot and the others. "Me sorry but there isn't anything me can do.Me, just to scared.Petrie said.

Longtail walked over to Petrie and said "Hey look...back there before Andrew showed up I was scared too...I almost lost my life trying to protect that stone...and to tell you the truth I'm still kinda scared because I know our safety is my top concern, but I know I have to keep fighting no matter what, for you, and everyone in the Great Valley."

"Vil is a alien called Zarkanains and since the first time my ship ran into them they tried nothing but to destory my ship and the federation. this race conquered worlds and Vil is one of their top generals and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And with the Great Valley in his control the dinosaurs there friends and family will attack you kids or I even him" Andrew look right over to Topys as he spoke about Vil

"Not Tria..." Topys was shocked to listen about a dark creature such as Vil

"Yes..." Sli replied then turn to Andrew "What is the plan?"

"I believe that if we could trick the dinosaurs in the valley to chasing some bait into a enclosed area I could use my forcefield generators and seal them inside that area till we take care of Vil. Once his taken care of the dinosaurs should return to nomal with this" Andrew showed his phase and toss it to Sli "That where you and your fellow raptors come into it"

"RIght" Sli replied holding the phaser.

"So what is it you want us to do?" Topys frowns at him

"Each of you part from Ducky, Chomper and Petrie will go into different sections of the Valley and draw them all into the enclosed part of the Valley then Malo will activate the forcefield generators to trap them all inside it untill Sli and her fellow crewmates use those weapons on them to free them from the control like I did to you. As for Ducky, Chomper and Petrie they will join me against Vil, I got a plan that should work and you three will be taking the stone from under his nose while I distract him." Andrew told them of his plan.

Guido nods, "I can likely get the flyers to chase me, though I'm not sure if Swooper would be involved since he can't see." Guido said.

"Then it most likely one of those that not affected something to do with the iris in the eyes that allows the control to happen and if his blind then he won't be affected" Malo answered then look to Andrew "Shall I return to my form?"

"If you wish, just don't give these too much of a scare" Andrew told her and Malo nods the kids and Topys watch as she turn into a orange liquard appearence and became small humaniod form that was about 6ft tall.

"Wow that's a nice trick...wish I could do that!" said Longtail as he watched Malo change forms and found it fascinating. Then a thought occurred to the flyer "Hey wait if Vil has control over all the grown ups does that mean my uncle too?" he asked with fear creeping into his voice.

"How did you do that?" Guido asked, not scared but curious, then to what Longtail said he nodded, "Sounds like all the grownups but Swooper.  That would include your uncle, Littlefoot's grandparents, Petrie, Spike, and Ducky's mothers, and siblings, and everyone else, likely even mister thicknose." He said, with a bit of a sad not in his voice.

"Rainbowains would have no affect over mind controls their minds are far too complexed in such a shaped skull to allow such a control to happen so your uncle be alright" Malo said walking over to Longtail.

"Mr Thicknose is older then most Great Valley dinosaurs he most likely not affected knowing that pain" Topys said believing Thicknose was going to be fine since he know how much of a real pain he is to Topys of course.


"We sliding away from the real point here" Andrew spoke up "Now we need a feild plan and we will begin tomorrow at first light." Andrew told them

"And who made you boss?" Topys looked right at him

"Do you know how to set up forcefields? do you know how to take on Vil? Do you know how to use the Sublight Stone?" Andrew throw in a set of questions at him and all Topys could do is shake his head "Then follow the plan and if something happens keep your mind opened and eyes and ears for near plans to think on the go. this isn't going to go perfect but it will work if we all work as a team" Andrew told them all.

"Yes your right... then we should begin" Topys said to Andrew ready to listen and suggest his own ideas into the plan to relase the control and stop Vil.

Guido nodded, and moved to a better place and position so he could see and hear better.  He looked over at where Longtail was, "Things will turn out for the best and everyone will soon be back to normal." He said trying to help Longtail, and any others, to feel better and less worried.  He wasn't so sure himself, but things did seem to work out for the best in the valley eventually he had noticed and heard from some stories he had heard.
