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

"Heh.  Ready for this?"
Dante asked, ficking his wrists forwards, forming 2-bladed claws over each hand.
Similar blades appeared on the sides of his feet, and he grabbed his twin blades as they formed, this time enveloped in their element.  Oblivion had blue flames along the blade, and Heartflame was engulfed in fire.
"Now... Let's go!"

Vylor also flicked his wrists, and the other end of the staff-blade fell off, revealing a second sword.

"Lets get started then." He said, and took a defensive stance.

Longtail landed inbetween Dante and Vylor, and said "Don't start this without me!" he then began to chant an ancient sentence he had learned from his mother "By the Guardian's light I live to fight...to protect the ones I love!" Then the light around his body returned, but this time it changed colors just like in a rainbow as he said "Now we can begin!"

"This should be interesting." Said Vylor, without moving.

Will you need me? asked Argaya.

Maybe. You should be ready to act.

Longtail smiled and as he spoke his voice could be clearly heard, but his voice sounded like other dinosaurs were talking as well, making his voice sound like an entire herd was talking at once. "Then let's go!" He then swung his tail, and just like before the winds picked up and blew Dante off his feet for a moment.

Vylor sensed the wind coming, and crouched to minimize the force of the wind.

Dante nimbly flipped over, landed on his feet, and braced against the wind, making rapid hand signs all the while.  
"Shadow Art!  Prism Lance!"
A large, multicolored lance fell towards Longtail and Vylor...

Longtail saw this coming and quickly dodged out of the way and as he landed he slapped his tail against the ground, and moved his left wing and with those two movements the cround around him began to crack and fissure, and then sky fire began to erupt from the sky and struck close to where Longtail was standing.

"Heh. Well, at least you've gotten stronger with your abilites, Longtail!  But still... See if you can dodge these!"
Dante reached back, and small stars of flame formed around his hands.  He swung both arms forwards, launching them at Longtail, before preparing to dodge an attack that was likely to come from Vylor...

Longtail bent his neck down and covered his head with his wings, and  the rainbow aura coming off of him spread out into a shield deflecting the attack, as the flyer stood up and said "Yeah, you'd be amazed at what a little sleep and a spiritual visit from my mother can do!"

"You know, I thought that you looked different this morning!  So now that I know why..."
Dante blurred out and swung a kick at Longtail
"Let's get serious, shall we?!"

Vylor began his assault. His staff began to spin rapidly. He charged at Dante. While doing this, Argaya sent a blast of lightning at the end of each blade.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Longtail said to Dante "Deal! Bring it on!" as he met Dante's kick with his tail, but then ducked as Vylor swung at Dante, barely missing the attack and Longtail swung his own tail again, but this time he blinked and thunder sounded from the sky.

Dante tensed, and as Vylor drew closer, Dante sent a pair of shockwaves out, intending to off-balance Vylor as he turned...

Vylor jumped and spun around 360 degrees (2 pi radians  :lol ) and dodged the shock-waves. The blades connected with Dante's swords. The electricity traveled from the staff-blade into Dante's blade. Vylor then proceeded to kick the blade with his armored foot, causing a small section of the blade to come in contact with Dante's unprotected skin.

Longtail then took this opportunity to get a running start and headbutted Vylor, and tail whipped Dante at the same time, hoping to draw their attention.

Dante staggered a bit from the shock of the blade on his arm, then saw Longtail's tail coming towards him, dropped down, and spun on his hands, meeting the attack with his own tail and kicking at Vylor at the same time...

Vylor then dropped his staff-blade, and drew some staves. He began stabbing Longtail and Dante with the staves.

Longtail dodged the blades Vylor had produced on his arms, and tried to use his tail to counter the blades, and thanks to the rainbow aura he was able to do so without being harmed. He then whipped his tail 360 degrees in the hopes of tripping one of his opponents.

(Vylor hasn't taken out his arm-blades ... yet)

Vylor parried the attempt to trip him and moved out of the range of the other two. He then extended his arm-blades, and charged at the two combatants.

(Now he has taken out the arm-blades.)
