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

"That piece of rock you showed me about the guardians... one of the next ones... only having piece of the information about him or her on it... here I say it out from what I read..." RipRap tells it to Archer.

"You'll see him from somewhere unknown. A place that has no clue or knownledge, you may vist it once and bring him back. At first his nothing but pride but soon he will be next..." RipRap said most of the words that he read on the stone that Archer showed him. "I didn't get the last part though."

"What rock?  Usually the Guardians are picked by the Oracle when the time is right.  Since when I came here, I haven't heard any news of a new Guardian anytime soon."

"THat one" RipRap snapped pointing to the rock seeing it blank then remember it showed when the sun shine on it. He walks to the cave opening from above and place a mirror down from a tiny cube it shined on the wall and the words appeared like magic with all RipRap said part from the end. "This word... I saw it when the light shined through the last time we was in here."

Archer reads it

Archer shakes his head.  "I've never seen this rock here before, nor have I been told about it."  He turns to Guan.  "Guan, we'll try to get some more practice done tomorrow."

"So what do I do with the bow?" Guan asks.

"Keep it."

"Ok thanks."  Guan exits the cavern, leaving the human and the Dinoton alone.

Archer looks back at RipRap.  "What's this about?  Is this some kind of trick?  The Oracle said that the next Guardian will be chosen when the time is right.  He never said a single thing about any writing like this in the caverns."

"Well it only shown in light... does that mean any thing?" RipRap shows by moving the mirrow with the darkness taking over and the writing disappear then as he put the mirror back in the light shining on the wall the words was there again. "I only guess that this wall never in light so where would be a good place to keep such a messege hidden till the right time? in wall that has no light. Till now" RIpRap said to Archer.

"So maybe this Oracle put it there till the right time, don't you think?" RipRap asked

"If the Oracle did put something to say that a new Guardian will come, then it wouldn't be here, and it wouldn't be in a rock."  Archer then walks past RipRap out of the caves, saying nothing more.

"Then who on Earth put this here..." RipRap sat down looking at the writing on the wall. "How do I contact that Oracle? any way..." RipRap said to himself looking at the wall still reading the words. "Could Archer not know all about this Oracle? the way it sends signs of a new guardian?" RipRap said again looking up.

"Ok... here is goes. Hey Oracle a word or two with if I may" RipRap calls out "Like to know why would such writing be on the wall only appearing to the reaction of light? what signs do this show?" RipRap calls out some more for a answer to why he had to find such a messege on the wall of a dark area of cave only a few days ago.

Leaving him pretty much in the dark wondering about the words then taking more thought he moved the words around he saw something that shocked him "It the Coordiantes to the Central Dimension! Using those words and light to find such a thing. Now that is a crafty move... but why? Put up such a messege over it. Does this mean Wayne who we brought with from his dimension... I see... so this Longneck island and the device we found and this messege is all connected, who better to open the central dimension then some...one from it... oh no what have we done!?" RipRap gets up and runs after Archer and see him with Guan.

"I read through it! it a trap! Someone planned this from one point to another! they after Wayne!" RipRap shouts out to them. Even Eva and Stripetail heard him.

----

At this time Wayne was under the waves of the river in a deep area having a good swim enjoying it watching Ducky swim around as well finding it great to swim with someone just as good as he is.

Stripetail read RipRap's mind and his eyes widened. "We Must send Wayne home Immediately." He Gestured in Wayne's direction and Wayne was lifted out of the water and on to dry land. "I'm sorry Wayne." He Roared."You will return to this dimension Wayne, but now is not the right time. Back to your own time and dimension!" A Powerful light emited from his staff and quickly encircled Wayne. In an instant he was transformed back into a human, a moment later he was gone.  Stripetail ran up to where Wayne had been. " I May have only delayed matters." He said to himself. "Whoever is seeking that Central Dimendion isn't looking to visit as a tourist. He or she wants to destroy it."
He sighed and walked away.

Wayne suddenly appears back as a dinoton landing on Stripetail "Erm... I don;t think it worked... the location of my dimension must of shifted meaning that I am pretty much stuck and my know how of my dimension is now useless... I think the central dimension shifted itself so I can't lead others to it..." Wayne muttered from above Stripetail

Eva gets Wayne off him and helps Stripetail "Looks like his right, when the central dimension was threatened it must of activated it own defence and shifted it's dimensional location"

"So that means I am stuck... I can't return to my dimension?" Wayne looks at her.

"No... your dimension is no longer where it was. it a mear loop now which why you came back here as you was before Stripetail sent you off. Unless we find where it is and what location it impossible to send you back" Eva said in a serious tone.

Well at least your dimension is now secure. Someone within your dimension RipRap wants to find the Central dimension and destroy it. And they hired Auri to find it and wipe it out. Luckily we stopped Auri from finding it. Whoever they are, they must be very important and influential in your world. And they're not going to stop trying to find it" Stripetail said. 'So We," He said to the group assembled before him,"must protect the central dimension. Because if the central dimension is destroyed, this one will be destroyed as well."

"So what do I do? where do I rest?" Wayne asked looking at him "I'm pretty much stuck and this form seem to be sticking to me like super glue since this happens when I push the button on the cube" Wayne push it and nothing happens "See this thing saying that this is my only appearance and your magic seem to not work well either..." Stripetail tries and in a second of him turning Wayne human he instantly turned back into a dinoton. Wayne sighed sitting down on a log with Ducky jumping up on his leg.

"Remember the wishing crystal I gave you ? You can wish for anything, but you only get one wish, so think carefully Wayne. You can become human again, or you can wish to be sent home"

"Maybe..." Wayne checks the pocket of his jacket that RipRap gave him then he stopped looking to the tree he saw the same jacket and belt "Wait a minute..." Wayne found no crystal in the one he had on going to the other he found the crystal "Ok this is weird... why did I come back here with a jacket and this belt on while I placed these ones I did wear here when I went for a swim..." Wayne looked dumbfounded looking at it then the one his wearing seeing that the one he was wearing had a tri-foundation alliance symbol on it with a strip above it.

"Because... your not the you that went back. I checked our history and all the sudden a name appeared on the list... elite recese swimmer Wayne Para. which is you" RipRap said to Wayne.

"Say again?" Wayne frowns

"Something happened when Stripetail sent you to your home dimension. It created some type of dimensional shift which split the dinoton body you was in when turned back human back here while the human one of you went back to the Cenrtal dimension... in simple turns you the dinoton version of your now human counter part in the central dimension." RipRap said to Wayne.

"Erm right... then why do I still remember everythng about my life before this!?" Wayne snapped at him

"Simple... think about it then, do you see other memoirs in your head now?" RipRap crossed his arms.

"Well kind of... so I just have memoirs of myself or now counterpart because I split from him in that dimensional travel?"

"Yes and Stripetail was the cause of that when he used magic to send you home striaght after turning you back to human invertal counterparting you with your human counterpart, with you as you are landing here and my dimensions history changing." RipRap said to Wayne "so wishing himself to the central dimension won't work because his there already and wishing to be human would a waste as well since now in the dinoton history your the first of your dinoton kind to leave out of our world"

Wayne stares at Stripetail "thanks alot..." Wayne turned away walking to the water and sitting down putting his clawed feet in the water staring at the reflection.

Look on the bright side Wayne. You'll live 3-4 times longer as a Dinoton than as a human. Where you could hope to live maybe 90 years as a human, you coud live to 350 as a Dinoton.And you have counterparts not only in this dimension, but in my dimension as well. There  is now a fox named Wayne in my dimenison, he is a Green-level wizard."

Wayne got up with shock on his face "Did you say 350!?" Wayne gasped at Stripetail.

Yes I did. But there is a way of changing you back to a human. But I must warn you that it would take at least 24 hours. I will encircle you with a Transfiguration Orb, which will SLOWLY change you back into a human. The problem, as I see it, is that I changed you and sent you back so quickly. Your dimensions defenses must have interpreted my spell as an attack on them. That is why the dimension shifted. I imagine the effect would be similar to going back in time and changing an event in the past. It would forever shift that dimension, in fact it would create a new one. The dimension would look the same as the original, but it would be impossible to return to the original one. Have you ever seen a .. film, right?.. that showed something like that happening? I noticed a film called "Back to the Future" siting in a row of films while we watched that other film. "

"Yeah there was. I saw it and get what you mean but..." Wayne gets cut off by RipRap

"I don't think so Stripetail, Wayne here he is now part of my dimension. look at the symbol on his jacket that the elite recese swimmer. His praticle the best of the best, I say after a nights sleep he will have memoirs of it." RipRap said to Stripetail.

"So this is what that means?" Wayne points a claw to the symbol on his jacket.

"That is what I said also means your a trainer when on dinoton teaching others in the recese swimmer course" RipRap said to Wayne turing to Stripetail "So you see why I had to say something"

It WILL work RipRap. LiKe I said, It's a very gradual process. But I'll leave it up to Wayne to decide."

"I believe RipRap telling the truth about it... I think my choice is to stay the way I am..." Wayne said to Stripetail "Thanks for the opition anyway." Wayne put his claw hand on the symbol on the jacket "Looks like I have a job that very important in the dinoton world and sounds like a great job since swimming is part of my life any way and sound respecting." Wayne smiled.
