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

Archer talks to the Oracle mentally.  "Is this the test I will have to face?"

"No," the Oracle replied.  "The threat you will be forced to face will be native from this world.  And it is far too soon for the test to even start.  The other Guardians will have to be here first."

On board of one of the fighters a Stegton one of the Dinotons sit hidden, looks like a Spiketail like Spike but a human size form. He stay hidden from the small crew "Bonuty... Eva" the Stegton whispered looking at image on his little device "Time to bring this ship down" He got up and pulled out a handle that formed into a energy sword, he kills the crew and jumps out of the ship as it fell and crashed into the ground with a blast.

The Stegton lands using his hover pack looking around his adjusted his weapons "Now this is odd I sense something... is there a Bonuty for anything else on this planet?" Looks at his device and sees nothing else "No... now to find the Bonuty and return back to Dinoton terrorty" he spoke starting his climb down the rocks.

Archer and Oracle sense the Stegton's presents.

Archer looks off in a direction away from the group, as if sensing something.  He turns to Stripetail and Grant.  "We have company."

Grandpa looks down at Archer.  "Who?"

"One creature.  Possibly a Dinoton.  His ship crashed off in the Mysterious Beyond."

Odon passes by and hears the conversation.  He notices the humans in the group, but what one of the humans just said became much more important.  "How many more visitors are dropping by today?"

Stegton looked at the downed ship as he climbed down "Rauia's should of built interal senors... that wasn't a wise move of them not to" he stood on the ground taking hold of a piece on his belt putting it over his right eye. He pushed it twice and saw the Great Valley "Trisection cloaking field. Tri-Foundation design... why would I be sent on a bonuty hunt for that which is owned by our foundation?" he spoke solomly

"I will find this answer once I find the AI Eva" he walks towards the Great Valley then stops looking up "I know your watching... I have a natrual sense to magic... specially one that watches now speak" the Stegton called out to the Oracle

Archer manages to hear this and turns to Grant and Eva.  "Whoever it is that survived is coming here for Eva.  And as you said about them being immune to magic, because that I'm the only Guardian right now I am uncapable to protect the Great Valley from him.  This means that you guys must head for the island now."

"Then what about you?" asked Grandpa.

"I've sworn an oath to protect this Valley, so that means I can't leave.  Plus I'm no good use to any of you if my only magic would prove useless against him."

Odon steps into the group beside Guan and Archer.  "Then I will stay here as well.  I don't know what a Guardian is, but he is chosen to protect our Valley, then it would be at best that we help him as much as we can."

----------

Meanwhile, the Oracle answers the Dinoton's call.  "Then you should know that I have no quarrel with you.  You have come for the artificial intelligence.  The AI will leave with a small group today.  Then, you will have your chance.  But I must ask that you wait for this group to leave the Valley first.  I have no concern for you or the AI, but only for the Valley and its future."

"Look I only kill that treaten to attack me... I am a peaceful soul. Even they there I am questioning the mission... the mission was to collect a AI called Eva from a race called saiew's but the bio reader detects two humans with the AI amoung the anseter forms of dinotons... I will not attack ones that are the same as dinotons... I am coming and tell them to not leave... I will talk this through in peaceful terms." the Stegton walks on to the Valley

"Believe it or not... it the truth and simple truth" he said walking through the cloaking field walking down a entrance into the Great Valley.

"He's here..."

Archer turns to see the Dinoton enter the Valley.  Odon backs Guan behind him and stands next to Archer.

Grandpa looks to the children.  "Kids, get behind us."

The Oracle speaks to Stripetail.  "You have the right to doubt the creature's intentions, but I can not let anything happen to the Valley and its inhabitants.  If peace can be achieved here, then it must be achieved."

The Oracle speaks to Archer.  "I have done too much interference today.  I will have to leave you to mediate this problem.  Call for me when you need help, but I will only contact you when the time comes for the next Guardian to arrive."

The Oracle disappears from Archer's mind and Archer regains all his focus on the problem in front of him.

He stops in view of them about 200 meters and Littlefoot blinks. "He looks like a adult Spiketail but more like a human size one standing on two wearing things that humans wear"

"Because his a Stegton... his one of many Dinotons" Grant said to Littlefoot

"I am Sten... Bonuty collecter First Rank... but my bonuties are for lifeforms that not part of the foundation but he and the AI is so the bonuty has became invalid and my mission is over" Sten stands there looking at the Valley "A landscape that I can care for... reminds me of the home I live in..." Sten notice Spike and walks over to him.

"A form that once Stegtons of the Dinotons once was... 30 million years ago." Sten talks to Spike kneeing down taking the eye piece off and hat

Everyone looks at Sten bewildered that he took his focus away from them and onto Spike

Grant shakes his head "No point trying to talk to him... his not paying any word you said. Sten is not only a bonuty hunter is a nature lover too... He visit planets to admire the plants that grow there and nature around him. I met him twice... on Earth, in Eden Forest a project that we took and build a forest from nothing." Grant tells him.

Sten looks at Grant "I remember you... but where is the other 6 that are with you? The Resreach 7 you was called to my knowing..."

"Dead" Grant answers

"Oh dear... I am so sorry to hear that..." Sten replies looking back at Spike "Do you speak young Stegursaurs?" Sten asked Spike

Cera rolled her eyes "His not going to have no sure luck in that" Cera thought to herself

"Who needs words to understand that my kind of the Dinotons use to be like him millions of years ago" Sten said to Stripetail putting the eye piece on the belt holder and his hat in a pocket standing up looking at the other dinosaurs

"Don't worry about me. I wouldn't harm that once my race was millions of years ago" Sten says to them all.

' No, You don't seem to be a threat, except for that sword you carry." Stripetail said, noticing the hilt.

Archer, Odon, Grandpa, and Guan look at each other in confusion.

"The mediation must have gotten a little shorter than the Oracle thought..."  Archer whispered to Guan.

"This weapon is my own... I use it to protect... the hostiles that I destroyed and took down their ship was a threat to begin. they have no peace... only conquer and destroy who don't obay" Sten answers "If it please you I will remove it and give it to you" Sten pulls out handle which the energy blade forms from to puts the harmless end towards Stripetail.

Archer looks over to Stripetail.  "I wasn't talking about you.  I just said about what the Oracle said to me."
