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

Journey To Longneck Island

A small glowing orb appears from the darkness of the cave as soon as Ali had left and hovers in front of Stripetail.  From the orb came a familiar voice.  "The creatures can only be dealt with by Guardians, which is exectly why Archer is here, and soon many more will join him.  The five children of the Great Valley were the ones that discovered the pathway to this world and brought forth the first Guardian, therefore only they can bring other Guardians to the Valley.  That is why I am concerned about the possibility of Littlefoot's departure, but hopefully every Guardian will have been selected and brought here before the child leaves."

----------

Guan looks between Cera and Trihon.  "That's pretty neat, guys.  I've been practicing my archery, firearm, and sword skills with Archer and RipRap in this form."

"Wow, would you be able to teach us some of that stuff as well? if you learnt it from Archer and RipRap?" Cera asked

"Since Cera's dad let me stay with her and him it been good... I've let my feelings out a bit more. Like to try this myself if that ok" Trihorn asked as well.

----

meanwhile around Longneck island a ship lands with some apatotons walking out "That odd... where is the dinosaurs..." Apio said then notice some downed burned out ships. "Sir they must of found this place unsafe... where would they be?"

Yao walks out and looked "Well I say that Valley. lets head there to see if the Apatosaurs and any other of our longneck races are there. We had a job to do and we will complete it" they go back into the ship and it flys up in the air and head to the Great Valley

"Well..." Guan said, rubbing the back of his head.  "I'm still kind of learning myself, and it's a little late to try to practice today.  Since I'm training with my uncle tomorrow, why not have Archer teach you some archery?"

----------

Archer continues to watch the slowly darkening sky when he sees something very small appear from the horizon.  It's too far for him to recognize at this moment, but Archer stays where he stands and waits.

"That sounds cool" Trihorn smirked

"Lets go see him" Cera said

"see ya Guan" Trihorn smiled both run to see Archer.

---

Archer sees a ship coming closer and the symbol on it had the Dinoton logo but the size of it was very big and it seemed to unarmed and beside the logo was a symbol of a longneck on it and a island image behind it.

Archer recognizes the ship as another from the Dinoton dimension.  Unsure of why it's here, he heads back inside to find RipRap and Terra still in the kitchen.  "Hey RipRap.  We have some more company.  It's another Dinoton ship, but it looks unarmed by what I saw."

"Oh? let me see this ship" RipRap gets up "Terra could you wait here" He leaves with RipRap.

----

the ship lands by the Grand Valley opening a large door which sealed the entrance of one of the valley ways in keeping sure that no meat eaters try to get in. Apio and Yao steps out looking around "Should we wait or go in?"

"Wait" Yao replied

Archer watches the ship land just outside the Great Valley.  "It landed at the eastern entrance," he explained to RipRap.  "Should we go check it out?"

"Yes, come on" RipRap goes to the entrance with Archer.

Archer follows RipRap to the entrance.

----------

As the sun continued to set into the horizon, Guan heads back to his nest, removes his Dinoton clothing, and tranforms back into a regular iguanodon.  He joins in on supper with his family, and they prepare to sleep and for another day tomorrow.

Apio and Yao looked around again. "I still see no one... is this the right place?"

Yao nods "Yes... well look over there" Yao points at RipRap and Archer "Get out the Dinonto flag of peace.

Apio plants the flag down both stand back.

---

"That the Dinoton Flag of Truce... they come unarmed and in peace" RipRap said to Archer.

"I see," replied Archer, placing his bow across his back.  "I wonder why they're here still.  I'll let you go and ask them, since they'll know another Dinoton better than a magic-wielding human."

"I can't believe my eyes... that ship it known as the Longneck dinosaur family collector ship!! It goes to other dimensions to this era of time to save longneck type dinosaurs from the rock in space... it must of sent some type of signal to them to go to Longneck island i see now..." RipRap looked at Archer "They here for Ali, Littlefoot and the rest of the longneck families in the Great Valley... take them back to our dimension since their kind in our dimension is low so with promission they was aloud to travel to other dimensions that in risk of losing the dinosaurs and save the longneck families"

"But wasn't the meteor that threatened this planet destroyed, therefore saving all dinosaur life and changing the future of this dimension?  And now this recreates the controversies that this world will go through another time change in the future, plus it would put back a problem with the arrival of more Guardians."

(Even though this will not be like the Guardian Saga stories I'm writing, I've decided to add another Guardian soon.  The actual saga says that it takes a full year before a second different Guardian appears.)

"Yes... but they still they are here... we better go over to them" RipRap said starting to walk to them "Come on archer, you will need to come to they won't talk while one of us stay back, they always play it smart." RipRap told him.

Archer follows, still with a concerned look on his face, as they soon meet with the new visitors.

"Hello, I am RipRap and this is Archer." RipRap said

"I am Apio and this is Yao, we was suppose to find a large number of longneck kind of dinosaurs. but we couldn't." Apio said

"Is it because of the rock threat was taken down? we detected a blast point in space about a few months old" Yao said as well

"So now we have a secondary objective. ask who wish to come if that is fine by you" Apio said to them.

Archer went into thought again.  "Strange," he said.  "There was a herd of longnecks that tried to find Longneck Island a while ago, but they later found it unsafe and moved on.  They were a fairly large group and would have been pretty easy to spot.  How come you couldn't find them?"

"Because they are here. We tracked it down to here. And we saw around 200 to 250 longnecks in this valley while flying the ship there is no more for 2000 miles" Apio said to Archer.

RipRap nods "Yes Ali's herd is still in the Great Valley"

"So much for a good memory..." Archer mumbled, rolling his eyes.

Yao looked at them "The ship can hold up to 500 if needed. Could we enter and ask... you see our race of the dinotons is on a low after a deadly virus. our numbers only make 2% of the dinotons so now we have to travel to other dimensions to see if any would come back with us or save many as possible for the world wide destrucion" Yao told them.

"Yes only 500,000 of our race is left and thaty is a very low number to the numbers of other races of Dinoton. Around 15 million of each race... So you can see our efferts to save our race" Apio said looking at Archer and she feeling that her eyes couldn't get off him.

"Apio?" Yao asked his sister then looks at Archer... "Oh no not again..." Yao thought "Look Yao no human will find you as lovely as you to them... look at the last 12 humans you asked to go out with they all said no because your a repilte dinoton"

Apio blinked and looked down with a sigh. She turns around and head back into the ship sadly.
