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

LBT: A Life-saving Journey

"Well, i suppose i will go, for the sake of your Friend. That is indeed a dangerous situation, and there is a slim chance that anyone will survive that without being treated, so i will travel with you." Ali's Mother said.

Onyx expressed his thanks and bowed to show respect. He then said "Excuse me, I have to go get the others, and we will be on our way." THe black flyer immediately flew into cave running past Littlefoot and Ali. He skid to a stop infront of Mim, Cyrix and the others. He took several breaths and said "We can move out of the caves now....its this way!" He then began to lead teh way back to the cave exit.

Cayso gave a big smile - "That is awesome!, I cannot wait to breathe some fresh air again!." - In his joy, he began walking a bit faster, hopefully not too much to not worry Ecco.

Mim started walking with the others, "I just hope they don't mind the fast biters with our group." Mim said.  

Diver nodded, "They are not mean sharpteeth, but how are they to know that." Diver asked.

"We'll have to cope with that sooner or later.  Any ideas?" Mim asked looking around at the other people present.

Blue eye shook his head to what Mim said, "I'll be glad to smell fresh air again also." Blue eye said agreeing with Cayso.

"It is to bad the night flower does not grow in the Great Valley, it certainly is." Diver said.

Onyx turned to the group and said "Yes...well I told Ali's mother that we've 'captured' several fast biters..." he then turned to Cayso, Scarface and Blue Eye as he said "Do you guys think you could play along for a little while?" He gave a nervous grin, not sure they would go along with this plan."

Cayso looked at the big Flyer with concern - "I.. I am not sure, I just want to save my brother, not to be in the grasp of a herd wanting to finish the 'job' you did with... capturing us." - he didn't know what to answer at all so he looked back at Scarface and Blue-eye, trying to know if they approve the plan or not - "However, I will accept if the others agree, afterall I must trust you'll help us if something goes wrong.".

Blue eye thought it over for a bit then nodded, "I"ll play along, I just hope the herd believes you." He said nervous at the idea, but seeing how it could work and having no idea he thought of as being better.

I¥ll play along too. After all, I don¥t think that I look very dangerous with my injuries. It was very hard for Scarface to stand the pain in his neck. But he thought, that if he would smell the fresh air, he¥ll feel better soon.

Ecco saw that Cayso began to walk faster. Be careful Cayso, you don¥t want to hurt yourself.

Cayso eased his pace - "Don't worry Ecco, thanks." - He saw that Scarface and Blue Eye agreed with Onyx's plan so he replied - "Since Scarface and Blue Eye agreed, then I will agree with the plan too, tell us what we should do now." - Cayso looked back at Ecco and whispered to him - "I cannot avoid been worried about this, I hope it will work for the best."

Blue eyes looked at the others, "Any special order or grouping we should be in to make our being prisoners more believable?" Blue eyes asked.

Onyx thought about Blue eyes question for a few moments and then said "Yes...actally there is. I think this might work best if we have it set up from biggest to smallest....that seems to be the best course of action to take.

"Well, that means I'm going out last." - replied Cayso, but before Onyx could continue with the plan, the Fast-bitter said to the Grown-ups there. - "If something happens and... if I am not able to get to the Night Flowers, will you try to get some.... for my brother?. Because I don't think that herd outside will allow me to do anything at all."

Don¥t worry Cayso, Ecco said and tapped him gently on his shoulder. I am sure it won¥t happen anything to you. Me and the others will protect you. We all protect us, he said, than looked over to Onyx. Okey, let¥s go.

Mim nods, "Things will go well I"m sure.  Best to think positive, but plan for the alternative an uncle of mine use to say." Mim said smiling a little.

Diver nodded, "Things may turn out well, they certainly may." Diver said nodding trying to keep everyone's moods happier then they seemed to be going in.

"I hope so." Blue eye said quietly.

"Yeah, this has to work somehow" - Cayso said with a grin - "Tell us your idea Onyx, we'll listen." - Cayso still thinks this plan is a bit of risky, but there may be no other chance for them to pass and for him to get the Night Flowers.

Mim nods, "Yes, I'm sure we'd like to all hear your story." Mim said to Onyx curious as to his story and hoping it would work.

Onyx tried to think of another idea, in case the first didn't work...but he sighed and said to the others "I'm sorry, but if the 'captured sharpteeth' plan doesnt' work...then we may not be able to go anywhere."

Just as he was about to voice another concern Longtail coughed on Mim's back and stuttered "....D-D-dark....E-eye....c-coming..."

Cyrix immediately turned around and ran to the back of the pack after hearing Longtail's cry. He stopped and said "I don't know if my nephew is having a sleep story or not..." he then turned to Mim and the rest of the group and said "But I think it would be best if we figured this out later."

Cayso widened his eyes - "How can he...." - he also turned his eyes to the back where most of the travelers are and said to Onyx who is now closer - "It should be better to be cautious, maybe if the others can exit the caves now." - He then looked at Ecco - "We saw how treacherous Dark Eye can be, so it should be better that you prepare to fight, I can walk and I'll be ready to fight too if the need arises."

Mim nods, "It may be best.  We'll have to do our best with what we have."  

"That is all we can do, we should hurry, we certainly should." Diver said.

____

Blue eye thought for a moment, "It may help the first plan if we fast biters looked totally defeated, eyes cast downward, tails drooping a bit, then if we have our eyes and faces up and alert." Blue eye said, hoping his suggestion would help Onyx's plan to work.
