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

Diver thought the name sounded familiar but remained silent to be sure and looked over at Littlefoot.  Mim had not heard the name before so was looking at Littlefoot as well.

"Longnecks, I hope they'll let us pass while we are with you." Blue eye said with some concern in his voice.

OOC: Check the discussion topic...BIG update!

IC: Onyx eyes went wide, and he gave a nervous laugh as he said "Oops...I forgot to mention we were traveling with you Cayso and Scarface...I just said I'd get my friends....I'm not sure how she will respond to this.

Littlefoot stood at one point and couldn¥t move. He couldn¥t believe what Onyx told them. Ali? Littlefoot asked. You mean, this Ali? Littlefoot was full of happyness and began to run in the diraction where Onyx came from.

OCC: I will post soon a second post. Be right back

Are you alright Cayso? Do you want to make a little rest Ecco asked. Do you want that I carry you? He looked with much concern in his eyes.

Cayso looked back at his friend and replied with a big smile. - "That's most kind of your part Ecco, but I am fine. I just need some good ammount of fresh air and I'll get better, you'll see." - Even if Cayso is injured, he is always doubtful to ask for help, specially now when comparing his injuries to Scarface's and even to Ecco who also fought. But he was now just in need of fresh air.

Onyx stepped aside and let Littlefoot run past him and smiled as he said "Well, he does know her...good news for us then huh?" He then turned to the cave exit and said "Perhaps I should follow him...just in case."

Cyrix nodded and gestured for Onyx to go.

"Yes," Mim said.  "She may get scared if a bunch of us suddenly appear, especially with some fastbiters traveling with us." Mim said.

Diver noded, "She may not know they are not mean fastbiters, she certainly may not." Diver said.

Ali stood waiting, until suddenly Littlefoot appeared running up to her, much to her surprise. "Littlefoot? I thought you were in the Great Valley? What are you doing here?" She asked.

Littlefoot finished his run and stopped 2 footsteps in front of her. Completely out of breath, he said. I.... I am travelling with some.... other folks. We... have to go again.... to the land of mists.... to get the nightflowers. I am so happy to meet you, he said.

Mim nods to what Diver said, "If she and Littlefoot know each other that is one advantage in our favor." Mim said.

Onyx appeared shortly after Littlefoot did. The flyer smiled and said "Well it seems you two do know each other." Onyx then asked Ali a question "Is your mother near the exit of the cave little Ali? I would like to speak with her if I may. It involves my friends who are still waiting behind me."

"Yes, she is waiting at the exit of the Cave for me." Ali said. "So you need to get the Nightflowers again? Who needs them?

Oynx smiled and said sadly "A young flyer from the valley is sick, and he needs them." He then smiled and said again "Thank you Ali. You and Littlefoot can stay here and talk, while I speak to your mother."

Onyx walked forward a little further down the cave and came to a stop in front of Ali's mother and asked "Hello ma'm, it seems your daughter has found our group inside the cave."

"She is safe, but I have a question...if I were to have captured a sharptooth in those caves, would you allow me to pass by to enter the Valley of Mists?" asked Onyx

Littlefoot nodded. So, what did you do the whole time. Where were you since we met?

The rest of the young one arrived. What came now sounded like a little chaos:
Hey Ali, how are you doing, what¥s up, glad to meet you.

Cayso opened his eyes again and looked at Ecco - "There are quite some noise ahead of us, it seems like whoever is there is friendly." - However, Cayso is a bit of worried, because the sight of three Fast-bitter may not be good for the newcomer... even worse if that newcomer has a herd.

"Well, most of the time we were migrating, but never found a place to stay for a long time." Said Ali.

Meanwhile, near the cave exit,

"You mean to say you have captured a Sharptooth? Whatever for, and i don't much like the idea of my Ali Being around a Sharptooth." Said Ali's Mother. "We have to deal with enough of them already, and i can tell you that it isn't fun."

Onyx gave a small smile as he said "Yes I know they can be bothersome, but this one is under high watch, and besides he tells us his herd is still nearby, so we may be able to make a deal with them. At least that's what we are hoping for..." He then looked up at Ali's mother and said "you don't have to come with us to the Land of Mists...but that is where our group is going."

"I can't leave my young one alone." Alis Mother replied. "But if a herd of Sharpteeth are nearby and they cross paths with my herd, i can't even think about what will happen. You don't find many nice Sharpteeth around here you know."

Mim nods, "It doesn't sound like a fight but more like conversation.  Best to wait here till they say it's ok for us to continue.  They may be surprised by the size of this group, and some of the members." Mim said.

"You speak the truth...but we must get through, you've heard of the Black Smoke right...my friends nephew is sick with it...this...this may be...his only chance. I'm sure as a fellow parent...you'd be willing to do...anything to protect and save your daughter. Please, travel with us."

"No matter how big the herd of fast biters we have our own secret weapon...we can fight if it comes down to it!" said Onyx with determined grin on his face.
