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

Tex sighed and said "Then what can we do...I'm sure he'd have to be awake to make that go away...as far as I can remember about Crused seals."

Rocker sighed and said "I do have some medicine that should get that mark to dissipate, but it might not work...it's over two decades old."

Dante nodded.
"It's worth a shot.  We have to keep Sieg with us!"

Rocker smiled and said "Well luckily for us...every med kit is equipped with one vial of the stuff...but I think I should be the one to administer it." He then pulled out one of the syringes that held the concotion, and looked at it for a moment lost in it's golden, amber color. He then pushed the needle directly into Sieg's wounds and pushed down injecting the syrum into him...he then stood and said "We need to get him onto a bed in the other room."

Hex and Tex were already picking him and Hunter off the floor, as Rocker walked over and picked up killer as well, while still holding Deva in his arms.

Dante walked over to Rocker, casually picking up Killer with his right hand.
"Watch it Rocker.  That's my girl you're holding there.  I'll take this guy off your hands, alright?"

Rocker smiled and said "Sure...thanks for the help. You really will make a good father...although...after seeing the look in his eyes...I do wonder what Killer will want to do with Deva as well."

Dante smiled a little.
"Thanks pal.  And if I know Killer, he probably has nothing good in mind for Deva."
He chuckled...

Rocker smiled but then said "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you...if Killer really is serious about being with his biological daughter....then...there isn't anything I can do about it. He may go so far as to deny you AND Tex the right to see Deva. It's not likely...but still better safe than sorry right?"

Outside the bathroom Hunter was starting to come around...she again squeezed Sieg's hand and gave a small smile before taking a deep breath.

Dante nodded.
"If he does, I'll kill him myself.  Deva means to much to me to let go of that easily."

Sieg felt Hunter's hand squeeze his, as his mind slowly regained conciousness...

Tex smiled as she saw Hunter squeezing Sieg's hand. She then looked over to Killer and frowned wondering just what he was really doing here.
Almost as if reading her thoughts Hex placed a hand on her sisters shoulder and said "Don't worry I'm sure everything will work out for the best. You'll see!"
Tex laughed and replied "Always the optimist arent' you sis?"
"Yep." was Hex's only reply.

Rocker then smiled and said "But for all we know he may join our little...uhh...unique family." he then chuckled at his words.

Dante smirked at Hex, Rocker, and Tex.
"Who knows?  If he does, that's alright...I guess..."

Rocker was about to respond to Dante when he noticed something impressive...

Hunter out of fear, and mostly adrenaline shot up in her bed, her eyes wide, and her forehead dripping with sweat, and her breathing was slightly labored. But after a few seconds it returned to normal and she looked around before asking, "W-what happened?"

Tex smiled as she said "Welcome back to the world of the living." Hunter then looked shocked as she said "Was...was I dead?!"

Hex giggled and said "No..but you sure gave me a scare! Actually if you need to blame anyone...blame Killer, and Deva...Killer left the safety on his gun off, and Deva kinda pulled the trigger."

Hunter looked over to see Killer in an opposite bed and smiled as she asked, "Is he dead yet?"

Sieg sat up next, the black markings fading as he stirred.
"What just happened?  Last I remember, I was using a healing spell on Hunter and Killer, and now I'm here?  How did that happen?"
He asked, groggily shaking his head...

Hunter smiled and kissed Sieg on the cheek as she whispered into his ear, "You saved me...again. I believe that is deserving of a much better reward, than just a kiss. Once we're able to walk...let's find a private room..shall we?"

Rocker was laughing as he heard Sieg's question and just said "Well, yeah you healed them alright...but this black marking showed up on your face...it was weird, but we happen to have medicine to counteract that particular curse...I could give you some if you'd like for free."

Killer then at that point began to stir as well and he opened one of his eyes to see Tex holding Deva and again he just smiled as it seemed Deva was the only one looking in his direction.

Sieg nodded.
"The cultists curse mark.  They knew that I was a specialist in healing arts, and so they made the seal to activate every time I used such an art.  It... Well, let's just say that I'm glad you got that serum to me."
He then turned to Hunter, kissing her back and whispering...
"That sounds...wonderful, my love..."

Rocker nodded understanding what Sieg meant. "A tracker. Should've know, Stupid cultist gotta ruin everything...even medicine...bastards." He then smiled and said, "You and Hunter can have my office suit... its on the fifth floor, with a butt load of security measures...for those...'extra special' moments." He winked at the pair and said "Good luck."

Deva then giggled and laughed as Killer made another face at her getting everyones attention. Rocker sighed and said, "I'll check him...I'm the doctor after all."

Sieg grinned at Hunter, a mischevious sparkle in his eyes.
"What do you say...Hunter?  Should we wait a moment so we're in a little better shape, or just go now and have our...fun?"

Dante looked over at Killer, raising an eye ridge.
"So, you're still among the living.  Glad to see it, Killer..."

Hunter being the even implusive one...grabbed Sieg by the arm, and took the key to the suit off the nearby table and slipped out of the room as quietly as possible and as soon as she was sure they were alone, Hunter took off running...towards the elevator and she giggled as she pressed the button calling the elevator down to the first floor.

Killer smiled and said "thanks, glad to be alive...oh yeah almost forgot." He reached for his pistol, and before anyone could stop him...he threw it out the open window. He gave a sigh of releive that said a great weight had been lifted from his heart. He then looked over to Dante and said "I'd be honored if you watched after Deva for me."

Tex and Hex both looked stunned as they saw and heard what Killer had just said. Tex then commented "Rocker check him...does he have a fever or a concussion?"

Rocker put a hand to Killers forehead and smiled as he replied, "Nopt he's just fine...thinking clearly I would say."

Killer then nodded his head and asked "I know I've made some mistakes, but...well I was hoping...to..join...you guys?"

Sieg followed Hunter's lead with nearly as much energy as she had, catching her in a passionate kiss when he caught up to her by the elevator...

Dante walked over to Killer, a faint smile on his face.
"Y'know... I thought you'd say something like that.  Sieg said that there was still something redeemable about you, so...Welcome to the group."

Just then, a small knock at the door startled them...

Hunter blushed violently as Sieg kissed her, but she smiled anyway as the Elevator door opened she stepped inside she noticed an open box of Cheesecake sitting on a cart. She smiled brighter and said "So, we get some good food to boot...I like this place!"

~~~~

Killer smiled and said "Thanks." Tex and Hex both scowled at Killer and Hex once more pointed her pistol at his head. "Don't even think about it."

Killer looked stunned and asked "What did I do?"

Hex grinned and said "Well, considering you did try to kill me you think I'm just going to let you sit here and...join us...yeah right!"

Sieg smiled mischieviously at Hunter.  
"Oh.  Is that so?  Well, I think you'll like what I have in store for you even better..."

Dante placed his hand on Hex's pistol, pointing it away from Killer.
"Look, Hex.  I know you're angry at him but... Wait, he tried to kill you?"
He asked, looking at her curiously...
