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

"Me? I got born, Jaina got born, we grew up, father was a banker, who got shot in a robbery." I started. "Took revenge on shooter, shot tons of bad people, and that pretty much brings us up to date." I popped the top off the soda and took a sip.

Hunter finished sipping her beer and said "Its okay I just need something to unwind after such a day like today." "And killing for me is kinda like second nature anyway." as she sipped her beer

I shuddered when Hunter mentioned killing as a second nature. It reminded me of something..

*Flashback*

I walk down a road, a few days after I had killed the one who shot my father. Jaina runs up to me with a note saying:

Mr. A and Miss A,
I know why the shooter killed your father.
Meet me in the abandoned wearhouse on Parker's.

Enigma


*End Flashback*

I took a deep breath, shook my head, and sipped my soda.

Hunter looked over when Jarak shuddered and asked "You too cold...I could turn up the heat in here. Or is something bothering you?"

Sieg looked at Jaina, concerned about what was troubling her.  He looked at Hunter then, before looking at the cieling.  
"Me?  Don't really know much about what happened before, but the first memory I have is joining the Knights.  Then they were all killed, and I was taken prisoner by the Cult.  Joined them, saw the evil that they represented, ran off, and then... met Miss Hunter and you guys.  To me, death is... nothing new..."

Hunter then patted Sieg on the back and said "Well you should feel lucky...aside from you guys and my students, most people just naturally hate my guts...and I can think of several reasons why if you all are willing to hear em."

I shook my head. "No... it's nothing.. just something I remembered from a while ago." I said. I brightened up, and said "So, what do you have to eat around here? I didn't exactly get to eat much at the resturant." There was suddenly the sound of very loud cursing from the direction of Hunter's room, more specificly, the shower. "Oh, I think Jaina dropped the soap."

Hunter laughed a little as she replied "Yeah the soap only seems to work for me...I don't know why." and then she said "Yeah I've got plenty here help yourself...just don't go near the cheesecake it's booby trapped."

"Why is the cheescake booby trapped? ....Nevermind." I got off the stool and wlaked over to the fridge. Swinging it open, the first thing I noticed was a container of swiss cheese. I broke into a wide grin, and started to snicker. I looked away from the swiss cheese(reminding myself to tell Jaina that she could make a dress out of it to replace the old one), and noticed a container of left-over tuna. I pulled it out, and asked Hunter "Where's the bread?"

"Booby Trapped?  Guess you really like Cheescake, huh?  Not that I blame you, though..."  Dante snickered.  Sieg sat there and looked at the cieling before asking...
"Mr. A?  What was it that was troubling you? Not that you have to tell me..."

Dante had run towards the sound too, and practically ran Jerek over in his haste.  Then he saw Jaina, and promptly fainted dead away.  
Sieg however, hadn't moved.  He looked at Hunter, smiled faintly and said...
"Well... I guess this means Delacroix was right.  But... don't worry. I'll never let him or anyone else hurt you, alright Miss Hunter?"

Jaina:

I blinked when I noticed Dante faint. I laid the pistol gentaly on a table next to the shower. "Wow... I never knew you had that effect on people, sis!" Said Jerek. I glared at him. "Shut up, Jerek." Then, looking back to Dante, I said "I hope he's okay.." I pulled the towel tighter around myself. I walked closer to Dante's prone form, and shook him. Jerek stepped closer, too. "Sis.. why do you think that'll work?" I rolled my eyes.

Hunter still sitting at her stool in the kitchen said loud enough for everyone to hear "Ya know if you hadn't shot him Jaina he would have died a much worse death....he should be thanking you." She then stood up and walked into her room walked over the dead body grabbing his bag in the process and said "Hey he has clothes in here...and they are a lot better than mine....Jaina you may wanna go try these on in the bathroom." she then handed the bag to Jaina and then walked over to the prone Dante, with a glass of water, and whispered in his ear as she splashed the cups contents on his face "Wake up, or you are going to feel pain that made you wish you were dead."

Dante woke up, shaking his head.  
"Ugggh... what happened... oh..."
He said, remembering what had just taken place...
"Heh. If only you could see the look on your face right now, Dante"
Sieg laughed from his place next to Hunter.
"It's just Priceless!"

Hunter nudged Sieg in the side with her elbow and said "Be nice. Last I remember you told me something in the sewers that was rather private." She then looked over at the dead body and said "Hey, he does look kinda familiar to me too."

Hunter then said aloud "I served in the marines for quite a while, and in that time I've made many enemies that would most likely want me dead...but this guy is just too familiar like I know I've seen him somewhere before." then Hunter remembered the bowl of tuna sitting upside down on the kitchen floor. She sighed and said "I have to clean up a mess someone made in my kitchen...I'll be right back."

As she walked past the others she grabbed a tank top that read 'If you fight, then I get to bite' across it. But in order to put it on Hunter had to remove the overcoat that was given to her, exposing her back to the door frame of her room, which would've been fine if the sound of someone clearing their throats directly behind her didn't make her freeze in alarm.

Delacroix stood there, a menacing grin on his face.  He looked at Hunter appraisingly before saying...
"I cannot see what Sieg finds appealing about you.  No matter.  You're coming with me!"
He yelled as he drew his longsword and charged her, only to be stopped by the blades of Sieg and Dante.
"Sieg.  Are you so weak as to need another's help?  Or are you afraid?"
Sieg looked at him, hatred blazing in his eyes.  
"Delacroix.  You won't lay a hand on her!"
Delacroix however replied casually, paralyzing both Sieg and Dante before turning to leave.
"Rest assured, Sieg.  You will suffer..."
 As he leapt out the window and vanished from sight...
