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

Hunter who was caught off guard by what Sieg had just said and asked "Wait...what are you talking about? I thought her sister died in some accident...how would you know about her? I haven't told you?"

Sieg sighed, then looked at the ground.  
"To be honest, I knew because the cult was planning to...invite the two of them to join us.  Then Hex disappeared, presumed dead, and no trace could be found of Tex, either.  That was shortly before I left them."
He said, looking away...

Hunter was a little bit upset, but that was only because he used to work for the enemy, she then reached over and kissed Sieg and said "Well, I'm glad to see that you kept your knowledge of the enemy intact...that could prove useful when we have to fight again."

Rocker then tried to stifle a laugh as he watched Hunter kissing Sieg, but failed as he continued walking over to the refrigerator and grabbing two barrels full of ice cream. He then asked "When you two lovebirds are done, could you grab a cake or something and help out." He then continued laughing.

Sieg grinned, then nodded, kissed Hunter back, and grabbed a cake and a bottle of soda.
"Right.  So, Dante? What was wrong with Tex?"

Before Dante could answer Rocker said "Heh...you'll see when we get back to the room, but I gotta say, you WILL be surprised! All of you!"

He then walked out the door and back towards the room with his two barrels of ice cream.

Sieg looked at Hunter, shrugged, then grabbed a cake and followed Rocker.  Dante grabbed a couple of bottles of root beer, and one bottle of strawberry soda before following the others...

Hunter just shrugged her shoulders and picked up another cake and a bottle of milk and followed the others out of the doors.

Rocker who was ahead shouted back "We're going into the next room on the right, thrid door down the hall."

Dante nodded, following Rockers direction to the room, then slid the door open, seeing...
"Tex?"
He gasped...

Tex smiled lightly as she noticed Dante walking into the room, as she was still holding her baby in her arms she simply said "Hi. how ya doing?"

Dante smirked.  
"Better, now that I'm back with you, babe."
He quipped, grinning.
"Oh, and Hunter and Sieg are here too, and they're anxious to see you."
He said, almost teasingly to his mate...

Tex smiled brightly and looked shocked as she said "So, they made it here huh?! Cool, they get to meet the new addition to our family!"

Hex on the other hand growled as she walked over and snatched some of the food Dante was carrying and shouted "It's about time! I'm starving over here! I didn't spend five years in cryo so you could make me wait for some real food!"

Dante put the food down on a nearby table, then shrugged and said.
"Calm down, Hex.  It's not everyday you see a group of friends teleporting into a building right in front of you. Besides, I got the good stuff, right?"

Sieg stepped into the room next, placed his food on the table, and then walked over to Hex, extending his hand warmly.
"You must be Hex, right?  It's good to finally get to meet you in person."
He looked over at Tex next, and then his jaw dropped...

Tex looked over and asked "What, you act like you've never seen a baby before Sieg. And before you ask....yes this little bundle of joy is mine...well, ours." She said looking over to Dante.

Hunter walked in next and seeing Sieg's face she looked over and did the same motion, as he jaw dropped. She then stuttered "W-wow....I knew you were due...but well...that's just sweet." Hunter puts down her food and drinks and coos at the Diva and Diva in return giggles and grips Hunters finger and squeezes until a faint pop is heard.

Tex just giggled and said "Well, she likes you...but you may want Rocker check that out."

Hunter nodded just as Rocker walked into the room and he smiled as he said "Well I see you two met the newest addition to your family...so how does it feel?"

Hex had her mouth full of cake as she mumbled something along the lines of yes, but then she coughed and sputtered out "Wait...what...they teleported?!"

Sieg grinned at Hex, then nodded.  
"We did.  Might I add that the spell technique I used worked slightly better than Tex's invention.  Oh, and congratulations you two. What's her name?"
He asked Tex.

Dante just walked over to Tex, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and beaming...

Tex was blushing with pride and joy as she stuttered "Her name...is...is Diva. And Dante and I are going to raise her right."

Rocker was happy that the party was about to begin, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was going to be paid a family visit very soon.

Hex then came out of the bathroom as pale as ice as she said "I...I think someone is here...I don't know him, but he....was looking through the window at me....and..." She paused for a moment as she noticed Rocker...."He looked like you Rocker!"

"Oh crap." muttered Rocker as he knew who she was talking about.

Dante swore quietly under his breath, reaching for his handguns.  Sieg too took up a ready stance, his hand sliding to the grip of his revolver as he looked towards the bathroom door.
"Killer.  If he's here...Then...there might be even more cultists around.  Be on guard, everyone..."
Sieg said, eyes narrowing...

Hex blushed as she said "No! He's alone...don't ask how I know...just call it women's intuition...but he's alone...and I think he wants to see you Rocker...and me."

Rocker looked over and said "Why you? He wouldn't even know who you are."

Hex shrugged and said "I don't know, but the way he was looking at me just said come."

Rocker turned to Dante and Sieg and asked "What do you two think?"

Sieg shook his head.
"Well...I suppose we can at least give him the benefit of the doubt.  But I still don't trust him."

Dante, on the other hand, was vhemently against the idea.
"Helloo?  He's tried to kill us, remember?  I say we shoot him and be done with it.  But that's just me.  Do what you want."

Hex thought it over for a moment and sighed as she said "I don't think it's a good idea either, but right now we don't have a choice...I say we do it."

Rocker thought about it...and sighed as he said "Alright we'll do it...but if he so much as looks at you the wrong way Hex, I'll kill him myself!" He then slammed his fist into his open palm for emphasis.

Sieg and Dante both nodded, and they walked into the bathroom with the others.  Sieg narrowed his eyes faintly, asking...
"Killer.  Why are you here?  What exactly do you want?"

Dante, however, reacted less calmly.  He drew one of his pistols and placed it squarely against Killer's head.
"Start talking.  Now, before I decide to make your head have some new ventilation"

Sieg stepped over to Dante, pushing the barrel of his gun down, giving him a warning glare...
