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

At this point in time Cyrix and Dark-calw were simply trying to out do each other in a test of strength, and neither one appeared to be giving any ground. That is until Cyrix taking the chance spun around and threw Dark-claw against another wall, leaving Dark-claw to howl in pain.

Cyrix smiled and said in sharptooth: "You may be a sharptooth, but a leaf eater with the knowlege of how you fight is far more dangerous!" Dark-claw growled and charged again.

But this time Cyrix was ready, and tossed a rock at the charging fast bitter, and due to luck...or skill the rock conected with the fast bitters face knocking him out cold.

Cayso and Scareface were battling while rolling in the ground, Cayso is worried to be fast enough and avoid being bitten, but he also had the chance to make an attack, his smaller body made him easier to use his feet to scratch Scarface's stomach... and he did, as much as he could.

Scarface gave a loud grown of hisself. The claws of Cayso bored themselves very deep in his stomach. When Cayso was over him he put his legs about Caysos body and throw him against the wall. Fastly he stood up, ignoring the pain of his scars, ran towards Cayso and pushed his arm against his neck.

Scarface's hand began squeezing Cayso's neck very hard, the little fast-bitter have no real chance against his adversary's strenght, but he was not giving up; seeing that both his arms were free, he grabbed the attacker's arm and began burying all claws of both hands, seeking a chance for him to break free.

With his fight being over Cyrix chose this moment to help the others he walked up behind Scarface, tapping him on the shoulder, and said "I believe you said I was next..well I'm tired of waiting my turn!"

And with that he used his claws and placed them around the sharptooth's neck and began squeezing as he said "Dosen't feel good does it?" squeezing harder.

Cyrix's intervention allowed Cayso to breathe again, but without letting Scarface's arm go he said "he has not defeated me yet, please go help Ecco." - the little fast-bitter looses himself and glared at his adversary, but this time there was something different: Cayso's eyes were sharpened, full of rage... almost bloodthirsty, no different from Scarface himself. He spit some blood and suddenly, he gave a quick step to the right and jumped into Scarface, knocking him away from Cyrix and then he aimed his biting into his enemy's neck.

At first Cyrix was a bit confused when Cayso told him to go help Ecco, but as he looked into the young sharptooth's eyes and he suddenly realized that the young sharptooth was going to be fine as he tackled Scarface to the ground and bit into him, "Nice...I'm going now." said Cyrix with a hint f amusement in his voice.

He ran over to where Ecco was fighting Blue Eye and pulled on the sharptooth's tail to get him away from Ecco and punched Blue Eye in the snout.

Blue-eye looked back at the pull on his tail, momentarily distracted.  At the punch in snout he cried out in pain for a moment, holding his snout for a brief moment with both hands before turning on his attacker, forgetting Ecco and taking his hands off his snout and baring his claws.

"You'll pay for that leaf licker." He said angry.

Thx Cyrix. The little swimmer looked at blue-eye. Can you handle this guy alone?

Scarface screamed. The pain was undescribable. He feeled how the teeth of Cayso bored themselve in his neck. He don¥t really noticed that Cayso was shaking Scarfaces neg very hard. The pain was too bad and everything around him was going to be black. He feeled a soft shiver over his body and growned, maybe for his last time.

Without any doubts Cayso was in a trance, he couldn't feel or didn't want to feel nothing but his enemy's flesh in his fangs, feeling how his enemy's breathing became slower and slower... he then heard a voice "what are you doing?... this is not you" - Cayso didn't want to pay attention, but the voice insisted "do you remember what our parents taught us?... and the promise you made me when you began this journey?.... Cayso..... Cay.................".

"well, however". Ecco saw what Cayso did. He had to stop him, otherwise he would kill the  raptor. He ran to Cayso and pushed him away from Scarface. Cayso didn¥t want to relax his grap. Caysos face was full with the blood from Scarface. And it looks like he was enjoying it to kill the raptor. I see Ecco thought, I have to be more demonstrativ. He put his whole strength together, ran towards Cayso, crapped him by his body and flew with him over the ground, until a wall stopped them.

Scarface is lying on the ground, without any reaction what happened. His muscles were shivering and his eyes turned out of position in a bizarre way.

After hitting the wall, Cayso stood up again and for a moment he glared at Ecco, but then he saw that the Swimmer also hitted the wall too and he was aching. Cayso kneeled before Ecco - "a... are you ok?" - Cayso's eyes returned to the more friendly look like before the battle, but at this time his pain returned from his injuries making him to groan and even to shed some tears - "it... really hurts!... but we have no time now, the battle... has not ended yet." - Ecco and Cayso looked to where Cyrix is and how is battling the last fast-bitter.

yes,....the fight.... isn¥t over yet. aaah, my head. I think.. Cyrix can handle this guy alone now. I am going to help him soon. First look at that...... what you have done. He pointed with the finger on Scarface who was still lying on the ground. Blood was running out of his scars and his chest was moving very slowly. If we don¥t want to let him die......, we have to do something. Somehow Ecco felt a bit of pity for the raptor

"I think Cyrix will do fine, but you may still go help him... if I go I may turn berserk again" - Cayso stood up again with holding the wounds on his stomach with his left hand and walked towards Scarface, he came very close to him and knelt besides him - "(in sharptooth's language) are you alive?." - he began checking his adversary's neck wounds - "you are lucky, I had no time and I couldn't bite deeply enough, if Ecco would have come a bit later, you would be dead by now, he saved you." - he took a closer look at Scarface - "I don't know if you'll consider me as some kind of demon child... but there are many things at stake, my friend Ecco, the new friends I have made and specially my brother Racnar; When you attacked me, I lost control at the very thought of the death of my brother if I lost the fight... but at what price?... you only wanted to eat something".

 Cayso shed some tears, some of them fell in Scarface's face, he remembered his past, and the fight he had with another grown-up fast-bitter, at that time he fought to the death to save his friends of a strange herd he was part of, he remember how he won the battle and the price he had to pay. - "Is his ghost still hunting me?, I think the scar in your neck will be no different for you as the scar in my left arm it is for me. I just couldn't allow someone to stop me from saving my brother, I'm sorry." - he stood up - "Maybe you'll want to seek revenge on me, I don't know... if that's the case, then look only for me, because if you threaten someone close to me, I'll rip you apart... my blood is the same blood of the Great Hunter, and I'll use my heritage to protect the ones I love."


OOC: In my own storyline, the Great Hunter is for the Fast-bitters the equivalent of the Lone Dinosaur for the Hervibores.

Blue-eye was a bit more wary with what happened to him before.  He was looking for an  opening, and not just going to jump into the attack like he had done before.  Though the smell of the tasty smelling creature made him want to jump into the attack.

Scarface heard what Cayso said to him. And he felt the tears on his face. It made him feel comfortable in a way he didn¥t know before. He couldn¥t move, just talk. I see, he said to Cayso. It¥s not your fault. My time has come now. I survived many fights I started. One day I would have to die anyway. But you have your brother out there. Who is waiting for the flowers. So go and bring him the flowers. With that scarface looked up to Cayso. It was very hard for him, but he did it. He grapped Caysos arm and said. You will do it. He laid his head back to the ground and breathed for a last time. Than everything was going to disappear to become black.

Ecco looked at Cayso than at Blue-eye. He shouted to him. Hey, over here you damn fast-bitter.

At that very moment Cayso got frozen... he just couldn't believe what was happening, he then knelt again - "Wait!, wait!, your wounds weren't that deep!, this cannot be happening!, you cannot die like this!, don't die!" - Cayso moved Scarface's inert body, he really tried to wake him up, but he couldn't and he began to cry silently - "I... I never wanted this to happen.".

Blue-eye heard the shout and looked over at Ecco, "What do you want food?  You want to be next instead of your friend?" He said.

Ecco felt how the angryness inside him grow up faster and faster. He grinned at the fast bitter and said. If you are brave enough, show me what you can. He bent his muscles, and stood in a defensive position, ready to fight.

"If you want to be eaten first fine by me." Blue-eye said as he came closer, though being a bit wary as well.
