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

Stripetail came forward. "Its really quite simple. 'You Sit in a closet with Sparx for one hour. the door will be closed  and the hour will start after you go in, and if you open the door at any time to leave the clock will stop and that will be recorded as your time, and that time will be the time Dixie has to beat. Sparx, you may talk about anything, and say anything, there will be a glass of water for you to drink if you get thristy. I will call out how much time has passed at  certain intervals. Contestants may not try to hit, bite or eat Sparx, any attempt to do sio will result in immediate disqualification. ' stripetail gestured, and a  clock appeared next to the closet door. "Spyro, sparx if you would kindly enter the closet, Spyro you will find there will be a chair for you to sit on.. "

Strut and Zachary arrived back at the cafe. Zachary and Strut were both helping carry a crate of grenades, which was placed in the corner where the other ammunition cases were.

 Zachary went back into the car and removed 2 cases of rifle ammunition. Strut followed him and returned with a case of shotshells. Both cases of ammunition were placed in the corner where the grenades were. Zachary went back to the car and carried out a small pack of demo charges, which was placed near the grenades.

Strut and Zachary made another trip to the car and removed the gas cans, which were placed in the back of the cafe. Zachary and Strut then made yet another trip and removed a small crate of glass bottles from the car. Strut made the final trip and removed a large bundle of cloth.

"Okay, we've got all the grenades, demo charges, ammo, gasoline and glass bottles we need." Zachary said.

Cynder nodded. "It was a war we almost lost."

"Don't forget squish. No squishing!" Sparx declared.

---------------------------

"And then some," Kivat commented, looking at the corner full of explosives.

"Now, if you'll excuse me I've got to wash up." Dr. Kerzach said heading to the shower.

"Same here." Rime, Zachary and Dr. Zanasiu said.

"Hey Rime, Zansiu are you two going to shower together?" Deimos said.

"Shut up!" Dr. Zanasiu and Rime shouted simultaneously. While no one was looking Rime kissed Dr. Zanasiu on the cheek.

"now dRop them in and blow up that network of tunnels, if you damage the floor in the process, it doesn't matter, since I'm going to be moving the cafe to a new location anyway and a few more holes won't make a big deal' Nick said.

"He says anything he wants anyway," Spyro chuckled, heading towards the closet.

Wataru, Taiga, and Nago followed the rest into the room. The three creatures that Wataru had called to help fight had disappeared.

The three watched as Spyro sat down on the chair in the closet and Sparx hovered up next to him.

"I guess the next contest is taking place," Nago said.

"Hey Rime, we'll need to set the demo charges. The grenades aren't powerful enough." Strut said.

"Okay, Rime, Strut, go in and set the charges. Zanasiu, Nick protect them from Shulrups while they're setting the charges." Deimos said.

Rime and Strut both found some backpacks in which they could carry the demo charges and loaded their backpacks with the charges.  Dr. Zanasiu loaded his shotgun and stood by the two.

Nick nodded and followed the pelnaida grup back into the dining room. "How long will it take for the charges to go off?' He asked Strut.

"Yay! I get to talk and talk and talk and there's nothing you can do about it," Sparx said from within the closet, loud enough for the people outside to hear.

Cynder sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Do you need any help?" Wataru asked as Nick and the others headed into the dining room.

Sure, any help will be appreciated." Nick nodded.

How much do you want to bet half of what he says will be badmouthing you?' Dixie whispered to Cynder, who rolled her eyes again.

"Aye, far to many wars, some famous, some forgotten 10 years after then ended and few could remember why it was started." ODysseus said.

"Then comes the aftermath." The Tourist said.

"Then why didn't they call it the 116 Years War?" Sparx hollared from the closet.

Wataru followed the group performing the demolition into the kitchen.

"Far to many wars." Odysseus said.

"There are few species that are as good at humans are at war." The Tourist said.

"War sounds nasty, I am glad it does not exist in the great valley." Ducky said.

"Me agree.  War sound scary." Petrie said.  

"It's never a pretty sight." Brooklyn said, who had been sitting and eating some of the pizza and listening.

"Now why would I be insulting him. He's my adopted brother and best bud, right?" Sparx turned to Spyro. The others heard nothing for a few moments before Sparx repeated. "Right?"

"Um... Dixie?" Cynder said. "I'm not sure if that's a good idea..."
