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

Onyx's eyes softened and he could now actually see what the red horns were doing, and he turned to Cyrix and said "I'm sorry...I didn't think they would pull a stunt like this!" Cyrix turned to him and said "Then fix your own mistake!"

As a red horn charged at Vylor, he moved out of its way, then got on its back before it could change its direction. Argaya was doing the same.

Diver continued to grip Cera's frill.  She looked at her sister Ducky saying, "Do not be afraid, things will be ok." She said trying to reassure Ducky.

Mim gripped the frill and wrapped her legs around his neck so she had a firm hold.  She tried to use her strength to see if she could force his head in a certain direction.  She was not exactly sure what she could do.  She attempted to try to think over several options to see if she could get any idea and to wait to see what would happen next.

Onyx then cleared his throat, and caught Korr's attention as the black flyer had one of the other red horns subdued and as Korr was about to ask what just happened when Onyx snapped the red horns neck and let his limp body fall to the floor. He looked over at Korr and said "Stop what your doing right now! Or the rest of your forces will meet a similar fate!"

Diver, get off from my back, Cera said. That what comes now could hurt you. She pawed with her feet and was starting to fight. But Littlefoot jumps in front of her. Don¥t do this Cera. You could get hurt. The grown ups will clear the things up, Littlefoot said, hoping Cera do what Littlefoot said. Get out of my way, she said in an angry voice. She started running forwards the one red horn, which was fighting with Mim. Everything was going too fast, as that Cera could stop her attack. She wasn¥t thinking very much, just, that she wants to hurt the red horn. She jumped and hit with her horn the behind right foot of the red horn. One heard a short groan, the red horn twisted his ankle and was hurt.

Diver heard at what Cera said, but looked at all the red horns around.  If she got down they may stomp her on accident or on purpose.  It was safer, she thought, to stay on Cera even if she were hurt, she'd not be stomped, that was far worst.  She gripped the back of Cera's frill and braced herself as best as she could with her legs.

Mim was deciding wither to sprang the neck of the one she was on or worst when she saw what Cera was doing.  She yanked hard the frill, and thereby the head, of the one she was on, hanking its head away from where Cera was so she would not be hurt by the one she was on.  She didn't know how much strength was enough so she used as much as she could since it's neck seemed quite thick and she didn't want to under do it.

Argaya and Vylor led the red horn into a tree at full speed, knocking the beast out.

(Genius Kor...simply genius!)

Cyrix looked the Red Horn in the face and said "Well looks like your little plan has failed, I suggest you retreat now while you still have some of your herd left!" Korr simply laughed and replied "You think this little collection is my entire herd....I have HUNDREDS of red horns at my disposal....you and that freak of yours don't stand a chance! RED HORNS RETREAT!"

With that the remaining red horns who weren't dead or unconscious followed their leader and ran from the battlefield. Cyrix then sighed in relief and immediately looked behind him and asked "Is everyone okay?"

"We are. We don't think this guy is, though." Said Vylor and Argaya, gesturing at the unconscious red horn.

"Who were those guys?" asked Vylor.

Cyrix turned towards Vylor, and Argaya, stopping his gaze for only a moment to check on Mim and said "Those were the Red Horns...a violent bunch of threehorns who do nothing but pick on the weak and defenseless, and when it suites them...they hold a grudge with fierce determination....and the worst part is...they want Longtail...and their leader won't rest until Longtail is....." Cyrix couldn't bring himself to finish the sentece...it would mean giving up too early and he still believed they had a chance.

Diver still held onto Cera's frill, a little battered by the impact but not in any pain at all.  She peaked up from Cera's frill, "Are they gone?" She asked, looking around with her eyes just above the frill.  She next looked around a bit to see how everyone else was doing.  "Everyone ok?" She asked.

-----

Mim hopped off of the Red horn when it left, limping and perhaps with a sore neck also.  She looked at the various kids present, "How are you kids?  Is everyone on?" She asked.  Diver nodded, "I'm ok, a little battered but no pain, better then being stompeded." She said.  Mim went over to Cyrix, "You know those unpleasant people?" She asked. To what Cyrix said she nodded.  

"We'll have to make sure they don't catch us again.  We'll have to have guards at night, and scouts.  If they can follow scents maybe use some plants some far walkers I met a while use, they rub it and some of the sweets on themselves.  They claim certain parts of certain plants can hide your smell, for a while at least."

((thanks, may be a bit annoying to see the numbers but makes it easy to see how many you've done))

This would be a good idea, Littlefoot said. So they can not smell us. He looked with a worried look at Cera. She looks like she hurt her right front foot while she attacked the red horn. Cera, are you okey?, he asked with concern in his voice. I am okey, she said with a bit angryness. I just hurt my foot. Ater a while, I am okey again, she said with much of proudness.

Ducky was lying on the ground. Her whole body was shaking. That was horrible, she said with a frightened voice.

Cyrix picked up Ducky off the ground and said "It's going to be okay...trust me." He then turned to Onyx and said "Thank you....you saved my nephew from certain death...just don't EVER do that again." The black flyer nodded and said "You have my word." The rainbow face nodded and said to the rest of the group..."Let's keep moving, and if we get the chance we will put that scent hiding idea into effect."

Comment Ducky, we have to go, Littlefoot said, packed Duckys tail and threw her onto his back. Well, can anyone tell me where Petrie is? Cera asked with a look to the others.  
I...I am here, Petrie said. He hid hisself behind a big stone while the others were fighting. Are you okey Petrie, Littlefoot asked with concern in his voice. Y..Yes, I am... okey. He said and flew on Littlefoots back.

Diver nodded and looked over at Ducky, "Do not be afraid sister, things are better now, those bullies have left.  Yes they certainly have." She said still nodding and with a look of concern on her face and trying to console Ducky.  Then she looked at Cera, "You hurt your ankle, do you need sticks or perhaps mud or leaves put in it to help it feel better?" She asked with concern still on her face.

------

Mim went over to join the others with Longtail still tied firmly to her back.  "That is a good question, does anyone need any help with any injuries they have before we get started moving?  I agree with moving, we'll need to do scouts and likely guards at night so we're not surprised."  She said looking around at the others.      [1]

Yes, I think that would be good, Cera said with a thankful voice. I hope you are right sister, I hope, I hope, Ducky said.

Cyrix smiled as he replied 'As long as we are all safe and okay for the moment, I say we walk just a little further on over to those smoking mountains..." he then thought about what he said "Don't worry they are not active, so there is no chance for them to shoot fire water at us."

Diver nodded, "Things turned out ok this time, they will next time." She said still trying to reassure Ducky and any others who looked like they may need it.  She looked at Cera, "With your hurt ankle perhaps I should ride on another." She suggested.

------

Mim looks around a bit. "Sounds like a good idea," She turns to Cyrix, "But are you sure those red three horns won't follow us and cause trouble?" She asked.  She looked around a bit and tried to listen to see if she could tell if the red three horns were close to them or not.  "We have some distance to go still to those flowers we seek."    [2]

She could ride with me, if that would okey for you Diver, Littlefoot suggested. No, no, Cera said, it is okey, she tried to walk, but one could see that it hurt very much.

"Maybe we should rest here a while and let your ankle heal Cera, so we will rest here for the night." said Cyrix with a firm nod of his head.
