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

Guido walked over to where Cera and the others were.  "It does sound like we'll get to see something special that may never be seen by anyone else due to it being so special."

Time passed as the group Littlefoot and the others watched as everything was put together and the ship is ready to go and seal the rip whenever it appears. Andrew th Vil and Sli was doing final checks. Malo sat on a rock with a computer on her lap with a device connected next to it.

"Captain network link is connected. And the if the mobile sensor relay is right the energy is already starting to form with gravity distorstations forming at the location given" Malo reported

"Then it time" Captain turn and walk out with Vil and Sli off the shuttle then stood before everyone.

"We are going to close the Sublight Rip and the chances of us living are low but at least you all will live on with a healthy long life. I really wish there was another way but there isn't enough time. So I will say this to each and one of yous, this is been one of the most amazing adventures I had and glad to meet each and everyone of you. Even it was short lived only a week it been amazing one at that, keep your heads up and keep your hearts strong. Today isn't going to be the last" Andrew gave out his words to them all. "It time for us to go." they turn and enter the shuttle then it powers up and starts to take off.

"Wow it can really fly without wings like a Flyer has..." Cera looked amazed watching it raise up then with a boom the ship was heading high into the sky at rapid speed "Wow..."

"That was really fast. Oh yes yes yes" Ducky was stunned by the speed the shuttle flew into the sky.

Guido watches as it flies off.  "It can fly without wings, that is amazing." Then as it flies up higher, "I do hope there is some way for him to get a message back to us but that is likely hard if not impossible."  Then more to the shuttle, "Good luck." He said.

"We can" Fang said to Guildo "Through this computer Commander Malo has"

"Yes his right, this been connected directly to the comm systems on the shuttle" Malo told everyone. "Isn't that right captain?"

"Indeed, a open comm link will be open." Andrew spoke from onboard the shuttle.

"Wow that really cool!" Cera was amazed at the instant long range commucations they had.

Guido nods, "That is cool indeed, hopefully we'll find out how things go with them." He said looking happier with the new news.

"We apporaching the point in less then 20 seconds" Andrew stats as he controls the shuttle to the point then Vil check the deflector scans

"It opening!" he yelled

Sli saw it too "We ready and the tear coming!" Suddenly they saw it appear and it was huge "That bigger then we thought it be. That Sublight Tear is creating massive gravitily distursations. We got less then 3 minutes before the outer arm strikes the planet"

"Moving in and soon we in place full power to deflector and inverse the warpfield using the Deflector at maximum output" Andrew said as the ship moves in and Vil does it

"Full power" the shuttle shakes with shields being pounded by massive energy discharges.

"it working but shields are starting to weaken fast" Sli reported seeing the stream starting to close.

From the ground everyone saw the sublight tear and it was huge "That... is... big" Cera gasped at the size and the ground was shaking from the energy waves being formed.

"Earthshake!" Ducky screamed

"It from the Sublight Rip it created high levels of energy being so close is causing the whole world to shake" Malo told them "Hurry Captain we got only 2 minutes and 43 seconds before impact"

Guido tried to hold onto whatever he could as he kept watch on the tear and what he could see of the Andrew's shuttle.  "He will do it." Guido said, having faith in Andrew's plan.

Longtail dug his feet into the ground as he felt the earthshaking, and he prayed that everyone and everything would be okay. He then said "This may be a bad time...but I'm starting to feel sick...." His face changed to a light shade of sea green and took a deep breath, trying not to lose his breakfast.

"It working the sublight tear is starting to close on itself" Sli said with the ship now shaking madly with systems blowing out.

Vil turn to Andrew "We losing shields we got only 12% left!"

Andrew turn says "Devert everything we got to the warpfield deflector and go full power when I say" Both nod and start deverting power.

---

"Andrew with shields gone you will be destoryed!" Malo spoke with protest "Captain!"

"I am sorry Commander... Everyone. It been a great few weeks meeting you young dinosaurs. Live long and live happy lives. take care" Andrew then spoke out "We got one chance shund everything we got now!"

Suddenly the commcurcations closes "Captain! Captain Threehorn! ANDREW!" then stares at the sky.

----

"Might be late but... it been a honor working with you Captain" Vil said and Andrew nods

"Deverting now" Sli taps the touch panel and the ship shakes insanly mad then a bright light engulfs the cockpit.

---

From the ground everyone suddenly saw the tear pull in on itself and then vanish with a explosion of light dust. "He did it?" Cera whispers with a small smile and was happy but sad inside knowing Andrew wasn't coming back. She turn to Littlefoot, Ducky, SPike, Petrie, Ruby, Chomper and Longtail with slience filling the air around them.

Guido was looking up at the place where the tear was happy, but also sad since he knew that if Andrew made it there was no way he'd likely be able to get back.

He then looked at the others present, not saying anything since he didn't know what to say.

"His ok... is he? right Littlefoot? Cera? Petrie? Ruby? anyone?" Ducky looked around them hoping that he is after seeing that big explosion after the rip closed up made her fear the worst for the Two legged Threehorn

Longtail saw where the rift closed and began to cry, but while he did he also said "He...gave his....life to protect us...that takes alot of courage....and one day I hope to like that."

Guido not knowing what to say looked at any, if any are still present, who are from the same world or time as Andrew was to see what they would say.

Malo just sat there in silence now staring at the computer screen seeing there was no link to the shuttle she knew this was bad news and that even the rift was sealed up the shuttle most likely was destoryed then look to Littlefoot, Petrie, Ruby and Chomper seeing how they feel if they feel up to speaking right now.

Topys stood just abit away knowing what he saw was the world saved but at the cost of three lives one of them being one of his own kind and he just waited for them to react to what they saw then tell them to go home when it feels right.

(Ruby, Chomper, Petrie and Littlefoot haven't reacted to what they saw in the sky or said anything yet.)

Ruby and Chomper both stared at the sky for a moment longer, and then they glanced at each other, Ruby wanted to say something but for once she didn't have anything to say...and Chomper sat down into the grass as he spoke for the first time after the incidnet "Why...I'm...sure there could have...been a better way...I'm sure of it..."

Ruby then walked over and put a comforting hand on Chompers' shoulder as she replied "He did what he had to do Chomper...and besides...without him, we'd all be in big trouble..." Ruby then sat down next to Chomper and looked back into the sky.
