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

"Speaking of which maybe you should date Cynder," Sparx said. "You'd be perfect for each other if you weren't both girls. You're both so nasty. You didn't happen to get possessed by an evil force when you were younger, did you?"

No" Dixie laughed..." I was raised on a puppy farm in Mississippi, as for dating Cynder, Spyro would have somethiung to say about that, as would Scooby.." To be truthful though, Sparx's suggestion had a certain appeal to it... But of course she couldn't tell Sparx that..

Zachary, Mr. Bigmouth, Dr. Zanasiu and Dr. Kerzach began moving the ammunition and grenades out of the cafe. Zachary was carrying the crate of grenades. The rest were carrying out their weapons and the ammunition cans.

"Guys, once the contest is over. We need you to evacuate." Deimos said. With that said, he went over to the ammunition corner and picked up the last 2 cans of rifle ammunition and headed out the door.

Nick hurried after Deimos,. " Stripetail and Merlin can create magical shields around the back of the cafe, even if the front collaspses on itself the rest of the resteraunt should still be standing.."

"What sort of explosives?" The tourist asked.  

"Hopefully they took in the surroundings and the radios of the explosives." Odysseus said.

"As well as the structural integrity of the various materials that will be exposed to the explosive force and shock waves." The Tourist said.

We Could seal off some of this area magically" Stripetail said. "It would prevent this part of the cafe from collaspsing, but we'd still get knocked around by the shockwave..'

"Maybe we should evacuate just in case," Spyro suggested.

Wataru stepped into the room, a troubled expression on his face. He headed over towards Nago who looked up at his approach. "What is it? You look as though you've seen a ghost..."

"Sort of," Wataru said. "Takato Shiramin attacked us down in the tunnels."

"What?!" Nago exclaimed. "But I destroyed him."

"It was definitely him though," Kivat said.

"It looks like the idea of dating Cynder appeals to you," Sparx smirked. He leaned over towards Dixie and said in a hushed voice. "You know, it's very easy for someone as small as me to sneak around and listen in on things."

Rime looked at the Tourist. "We used several pounds of plastic explosive. The charges we acquired are intended for demolishing structures or armored vehicles. And besides, the amount of explosives Strut and I used is enough to destroy a concrete bunker."

Strut was still unreeling the detonator wires out the door. He saw Deimos and his gang about crouched behind a large rock about 150 meters away from the cafe. "Got the detonator?"

"I've got it!" Deimos shouted.

"Magic shields should be enough if we are in an area where the ground is solid." The Tourist said.  "Anyone know the shortest path to such an area?"

I can believe that.." dixie said. Sparx was probably going to try to blackmail her, if she didn't do as he wanted, he'd announce "Dixie loves Cynder!" or something like it, to everyone... Dixie shivered slightly. 'What do you want Sparx....?'

"I don't know the area," Wataru said, both he and Nago were still unsettled by the return of one of their old enemies. "But Castle Doran is very durable. We could stay in there."

"I want you and Cynder to conviently forget about bossing Shaggy and me around for two weeks," Sparx frowned. "Or you can cut it down to just one week and walk out now and let Spyro and Scooby win this round."

And what If I Refuse?' Dixie replied. "WE lose this contest, we're 1 loss away from having to do what the boys want...We have to win this one.. What would you do Sparx, if I said no?"

Rime shook his head. "The tunnel system is extensive; it is likely they encompass the entire cafe's area. Unfortunately, that means that the cafe could just fall into a sinkhole caused by the collapsing tunnels or the explosives could damage or destroy the cafe."

"Well, you can just cancel the whole week and stay in the contest," Sparx shrugged. "And you're smart, you can figure out what happens if you refuse."

"It's a good thing you've already decided to move the cafe," Taiga said to Nick.

Rime grabbed the backpack that he had used to carry the demolition charges. He noticed a fist sized metallic rock buried under the debris of a table. He grabbed it and placed it in the backpack. He started rooting through the debris in the dining room for more mithril.

Spyro, Cynder, Wataru, Nago, and Taiga all got up and began gathering up pieces of mithril.

"Do you have a bag, or pack we can use to store the mithril?" Taiga asked.

"Maybe, but they'll be suspicious after I tell them," Sparx said. "So they may well find out for themselves before you want them to."

"My pockets can hold a lot of things so if you want me eto carry anything in my pockets I do have some empty ones and can move things around to have more empty pockets, if that would help." The Tourist said.  

"I'm pretty strong and can help to move stuff if anyone needs any help." Odysseus said.

"We gargoyles are stronger then we look as well." Brooklyn said.

You were listening outside the door upstairs, weren't you? Why were you up there Sparx?" dixie said, trying to not let any concern show on her face..

-
 Nick produced a knapsack. "Fill this as full as you can.." He said.
 That mithril storm left thousands of pieces, we oinly would need a few to rebuild, but the more we can take with us the more ritzy the new cafe will be.,..
