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

Sieg had been passionately kissing Hunter, quickly removing his jacket as he did so.  Somehow, his hands instinctively found Hunter, and he began caressing her, savoring the softness of her skin.  He was eager to continue, and he began to move his hands higher...

Dante had joined Jaina in the room where she was, stripping off his jacket and shirt as he did so...

Hunter could feel Sieg's hands caressing her body, and in truth...she would swear she could hear her heartbeat in her ears. She was in heaven and honestly she was too busy enjoying Sieg's company to care what else may be happening as she ran her hands across his body as well...

Meanwhile Tex had drawn her personal sawed off shotgun from behind her chair and said to Jerek "We may need to keep whoever that is out of those rooms until the potion wears off!"

Jerek:

I swung both my pistols up. I could hear whoever it was moving through the shards of broken glass. Then, the was a horrid sawing sound. The cieling broke, and a cloaked figure fell through the hole. "Hello... Jerek Anderson..." Damien Heartwood said. I stared in shock. "But.. but you're dead... I saw you in two halves." Damien's face and muzzle were hidden, but I could tell he was grinning. "I am... you can't kill... what is already dead..."

Tex looked stunned and raised the shotgun in Damien's direction and said "Don't move, or, you'll be dead again, and again!"

Hunter was smiling and kissing Sieg at the same time...which was harder than it looked. But she managed anyhow. She then whispered in his ear "I love you, and I'm glad we met."

"Hahahaha....." Heartwood laughed, softly. "You can't kill me... no more then you could kill time.... or air... or water... or death...." Heartwood raised his scythe. I dove forwards and knocked Tex out of the way, as Heartwood's scytheblade came to strike where she had just been standing.

OOC: Shooting Heartwood, no matter where it is, will just make him stagger a bit.

Tex gave a sheepish smile as she said "Thanks Jerek...I owe you one!" she then turned her gun on Damien and fired off a shot, making him stagger backwards, and still Tex smiled as she cocked the shotgun once again...ready for another shot...hoping this Damien guy wouldn't get another swing with that scythe of his.

Damien simply clenched his fist. "Hah, is that all you can-" Tex's shotgun compressed into a bent, mettallic ball. I tossed her one of my pistols. "Looks like that does do something." I said, shooting Heartwood in the chest. He simply laughed and took a step forward. Heartwood's scythe glinted malevolently. "And now.. it is time for all your deaths... and my master's release...."

"Somehow...someway...I'm going to blame Hunter for this!" said Tex aloud as she aimed the pistol Jerek gave her, at Damien's head and fired, but realizing that the bullet did nothing, she decided the next best course of action was to get that scythe out of Damien's hands, and she fired the remaining pistol shots at the scythe hoping to knock it from Heartwoods grasp.

Arcia had joined in the fight, both pistols roaring with fire as she sent two special bullets flying at Damien, then rolled to avoid a counter attack...

"I'm glad... I met you too, Miss Hunter..."
Sieg whispered back, caressing her, letting his hands gradually move lower...

Dante smirked, looking Jaina over...
"Heh. I love a fast woman, Ms. A."
As he walked over to her, placing a kiss on her cheek...

The bullets struck the cold steel of Heartwood's blade. "I know... what those bullets do... and while I cannot die... I will not be shot again..." He said. I stuck my tounge out at him, and shot him. He spun his scythe and deflected the bullet with ease. "Alright... ****. What are we going to do now?" I said, backing away as Heartwood advanced further.

Arcia thought, looked at the other two with her, then decided on a potentially suicidal idea.  She lunged forwards, grappling Damien's scythe, attempting to wrest it from his grasp...

Tex saw the move Arcia was trying to pull, and almost immediately dropped the pistol and joined her in trying to wrestle the scythe out of Heartwoods hands! 'This is crazy, one wrong swing and we both die...but protecting everyone else is kinda worth it!' Tex said to herself with a grin.

Arcia finally had an Idea, and she spun around, sweeping her leg towards Heartwood's attempting to trip him...

Hunter was lost to her senses, she could feel everything around her...but the one thing she knew she felt stronger than anything was her love for Sieg, and at that very moment she wanted to spend the rest of her days with him by her side.

I grabbed Heartwood from behind. The cloaked figure did not not react for a few moments, and then, flung his arms out. Simultaneously, we were all flung back. Heartwood looked over to the doors. "And now... I seal their fate... and unleash the Watcher..." He started towards the doors, but I charged him, and just managed to knock him into a nearby closet. I shut and locked the door. "Yeah, you can't do that, you bastard." I said. There was no sounds from the closet, which unnerved me. I opened the door, prepared to shoot him if the need be, but he was gone.

OOC: Heartwood s gone, so he won't be coming back untill the final conflict... which will be in seven pages.

Sieg, too was lost to everything but Hunter's body pressed up against him.  All he wanted was to stay there forever...

Arcia stood up, blinking, as she said out loud...
"Ok... That was wierd... who was that?  and why was he after us?"

Tex rubbed her head as she stood up, wondering what had just happened as she looked over and notice Jerek standing in front of an empty closet. The saurian picked herself up and just as she did the computer returned to life casting a blue glow throughout the room...and blinding Tex for a moment as she still had her goggles on...

"AHHH! S*** that hurts!" She blinked several times and then when her eyesight cleared she looked at the watch on her arm and laughed out loud as she said "Hey, guess what...you are never going to believe this Jerek..."

I sighed. "That was Damien Heartwood. He's the leader of a cult that's trying to ressurect something called the Watcher. He nearly killed my sister, and for some reason thinks she's a key of some sort." I said. I sighed again, and asked Tex "What is it?"
