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

Jae followed the others to the apartment.  She said nothing at first looking around the insides.  She went over to sit down on the couch and nodded at the explanation of the rips on the sofa.  "Those would be hard to avoid for some." She said.  She looked around, "Nice place, could be far worst." She said.

Suddenly, Hunter found Sieg standing there next to her.  He looked at her for a moment, and then he smiled and said...
"See anything of interest?"

Dante, meanwhile had turned around at the shattering sound, but he couldn't place it.  He decided to go check on Jaina.  For some reason, he had found himself increasingly interested in her.  He knoced on her door and called
"You ok, Ms. A?"

Hunter blushed and said to Sieg "Right now I only see one thing...and I'm staring right at it." as she smiled. Then Hunter frowned as she said "Did you hear something?" But even if Sieg had answered Hunter didn't hear it as she was too busy staring into his eyes.

Sieg smiled as he wrapped his arms around Hunter, marvelling at how well she fit into his embrace.  He brought his face close to hers, and whispered...
"I'm glad I met you, Miss Hunter...My love..."

Hunter smiled back and said "Well then...my love...are we going to kiss or not?" Still bringing her face ever closer to his getting ready for her first real kiss, by someone she truly loved....and she couldn't be happier.

Jae stood up nodding, "I heard something as well."  She said as she went over to where the door was, beside Dante.  "I hope it's nothing." She said as she drew her pistol.

"We are."  Sieg said, bringing his lips to meet hers in his first true kiss from someone who he loved with all his being...

"Heh.  If you knew us, then you'd know that that wasn't nothing.  We seem to attract too much trouble for that."  Dante said to Jae, tightening his grip on his sword...

Jae nods, "Expect the worst, hope for the best." She said.  She held her pistol ready to wait and see what would happen.

Hunter was in heaven she wanted this one moment to never ever end...the only feeling she had right now was the kiss taking place and nothing else mattered to her. She was in total bliss, and almost nothing could ruin this moment as she thought to herself 'This is the day I've dreamed about...I can't believe this is really happening and to me....a simple ex-marine and school teacher...although knowing my luck...something bad is going to transpire while were up here....but....I-I just don't care anymore...I just want to be with Sieg and enjoy this.'

I was still distracted.. Who was that out there? The scythe... When I heard the knock and Dante's voice, I blushed and said "I-I'm fine.. there was someone out there..." Now I heard Jerek's voice "You sure you're okay, sis? You sound frightened..." I replied "I'm fine, I'll tell you when I come out."  I slipped nto the tank top, and got into the jeans. I kneeled down, took a pistol out from under the bed, but it in my pocket, then opened the door, and stepped out of my room.

Jae looks her over, "You sure you are ok?" She says then glances into the room to see if anyone else is in there.

Sieg was in paradise.  It was as though his whole world had been removed, and all that there was was Hunter and he.  He loved it, and he wished with all his heart that they could stay like that forever.
This is... unbelievable.  That someone... like me... could find love.  I... hope that we can stay together like this forever...

Dante looked at Jaina, and grinned.
"Glad to see that you're alright, Ms. A. I'd hate for something to happen to you."
Then he looked her over again, and said...
"Though with a body like that, I can see why he was looking..."

Hunter honestly didn't want this moment to end, but she knew the others would start to worry about them if they didn't come back and after several more seconds she finally broke the passionate kiss between them. She then decided to speak up and say "T-that was wonderful...but I think we should be getting back to the others now...okay...sweetie?"

I blushed whith Dante's comment, and said "Th-th-thanks.. Dante.." Jerek, on the other hand, had stepped into my room, and looked out the window. "I don't see anyone... What did he look like, sis?" I took a deep breath, and replied "I didn't see his face.. he had a hood pulled over his muzzle, I don't even know what species he was.. but he had a scythe." Jerek blinked. "A scythe? What was he, the Grim Reaper or something?" I frowned. "Jerek! It really scared me!" I yelled. Jerek sighed. "Sorry, sis, couldn't resist."

At that moment Hunter came back out through the bathroom door, quickly followed by Sieg, and Hunter still had a blush on her face as she turned to see what happened. She looked puzzled and asked "What happened in here? I'm gone for a few minutes and someone breaks a window?"

"When I was in my bedroom, I wasn't wearing anything.." I blushed at this moment, despite being fully clothed. "This hooded guy leaned in the window and started threatening me. He had a scythe, and the hood was pulled down over his face..." I shivered slightly at recalling his words.

Hunter's face immediately became serious as she asked "Wait this scythe did it have a symbol or marking on it? Like the ones on my specialized guns?"

"N-no... I don't think so... but what he said.." I shivered again. "Well what did he say? Something like 'let's make out' or 'DIE!'?" Said Jerek. I glared at him, but then recalling the hooded figure's words, I shivered, and replied. "He said... he said he wanted my soul..."

Jae hisses a bit, "Sounds like more of these cult folks.  They may be either following us, have some sort of way of tracking us or know where our various homes."Jae said.

"Delacroix..." Seig muttered under his breath, looking at the glass on the floor...
"Hey guys?  This isn't good.  That wasn't a cultist, but rather one of Delacroix's summons.  It must have been searching for something, and it found it...  We'd better be careful."
Dante looked for a second, then said...
"It was looking for the Key.  That's what the Cultists are looking for, right?  Well, he must have found that.  Seig's right. We'd better be on guard..."
____________________________________________________________________

Delacroix stepped into the central citadel of the cult's base, kneeling before Damien.
"My lord, I bring news of the key.  It has been broken into four parts, two of which have been found and retrieved.  The other two, however, will be more difficult.  They are with Jaina Anderson and Sieg Warheit.  My searchers have discovered that Sieg's piece is in his gauntlet on his left arm, and Jaina's is located inside her.  Requesting permission to go after them, my liege."
