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

She screamed" No! he can't dead, He Can't be" She collaspsed on Eva, and began sobbing. "He Teleported me away before the planet blew up, but I think ..." Dirah shook her head. "Wayne wasn't immortal like you StRipetail. No matter how powerful he was he couldn't survive the destruction of a planet. he's dead." SHe began to sob again.

DIrah stopped crying once Trin had broken off contact. She turned to Stripetail. "Try to make contact with him mentally. I KnOw you can reach him, if you can't then no one can. ' She seemed like she was about to cry again. "DIrah go and watch Eva get ready for her duel.  Dirah and Eva Walked away"I 'll try and contact Wayne. Stripetail closed his eyes and focused. "Wayne... Wayne... hear me if you can.. he felf a very faint mental response, it was coming from a distant area of the galaxy. He saw mentally Wayne Floating in space covered by a very thin shield, he was lying on what looked like a remnant of the planet they had dueled E-StRipetail on. Where he was exactly Stripetail COuldn't tell, but the shield was protecting him from suffocating in space. "Hang on wayne..." STripetail Broke off mental contact and sent a mental mesage to trin." I"ve made Contact with Wayne." He sent the mental picture he had just seen to trin. "Have this scanned to see if you can lock on his location."

"Good to hear Councillor. I Will tell dirah. She will be greatly relieved." STripetail broke of the contact and smiled. He Walked over to Dirah, and patted her on the shoulder and whispered in her ear. "I have good news for you, but Eva's match is about to start, so it will have to wait. He Strode up to the Dueling field. "hello Ladies. This is a third-round match. Both of you will recieve 4000 points to start with. Zastra , as the older student, you get to go first. He Gestured and the field and poiint levels were set. "Let the Duel begin."
_ Zastra went first. Sheldus. Three shields appeared in front of her. I Plat Life Leech And give a boost of 500 points, which brings it up to 1500. The Leech attacked and eVa's score went down to 2500. "In  addition Eva, you will lose 1000 points at the end of my turn and an addition 500 points for every turn the leech remains on the field. Now To protect my leech. I Play knight of Darkness, Kinght of EArth, Shield of Light, and Giant Imp, all in defense mode" that ends my turn. Eva's score went down to 1500."

"Oh really?" Eva said as her shields went up "I will summon... tresure hunter and right away he will dig..." Eva said that and the ground shook the two fields shook with the force of the tresure hunter hitting the ground a pillar spike rock comes out the ground and right behind the defences of Zastra's and hits the leech killing it in one go and the pillar falling down to create a path right to Zastra.

"That was new..." Eva blinked then the tresure hunter holds up a necklace from the ground "Bingo!" Eva smiled as the necklace rasied and a creature appeared wearing it a female with such looks and beauty that Zastra creatures turned on Zastra turning around facing her with their eyes glowing red like they was proseced then they attacked her. Zastra's life points dropped to 1000 and the life points she losted went to te creature then to Eva giving her the life points that Zastra losted.

the creature sings and all the creatures that was left from Zastra's field killed themselves. "Looks like they couldn't stop themsevles." Eva smirked and a chest came out of the ground "Ah one more surpise..." the chest opens and 10 mirrors comes out of it and vanishes with many watches looking confused at what they saw. Eva smiled remembering what these mirrors do.

"I'll end my turn"

"Let me guess once my turn is over, You'll activate those mirrors and they'll wipe out the rest of my life points" Zastra grumbled. Well I'm going to wipe you out in this turn, so you don't get a chance to do that. "Evenus". Now you have 4500 points, I have 1000, a difference of 3500 points. That meansd I'll gain 1750 points and you'll lose 1750 points bringing us both to 2750. Next I'll put 3 monsters on the field, Knights of the moon Sky and Earth. Now I Play instant destruction. That will destroy your necklace monster at the cost of one of my knights. I sacrifice the Knight of the Moon. The Necklace Monster disappeared , as did the Moon Knight. Now I play Giant mole "He'll dig through your shields and attack you directly. "Attack Giant mole, Eva;s ppoint total went down to 1950. "Now attack again. and again!' Eva;s score plummeted to 350. 'Giant mole's special ability allows it an additional attack for every monster I have on the field. Had my Moon Knight not been sacrificed, my mole would have wiped out your life points.Eva" Zastra drew from her deck. "Inwardly she cursed. None of these will help me! And I'll lose on her move I'm sure of it, " She Drew one more card. Next I'll play Tag _Team which allows us to pick a partner. One conditioon I'm placing onthis tag-team Eva. You can't pick your master Lord Stripetail. He 's simply too good, the duel between us is already uneven as it is.Pick anyone else but not him. I Select my father Dominic. An Older squirrell appeared next to her. "My father won this tournament in his sixth year and made the finals in his fourth, seventh and ninth years as well. He's a Red Two level. Pick your partner Eva, so we can continue."
_ Stripetail sent a mental message to eva. "Pick My Counterpart from the Red Mag Dimension. That will make it a fair fight"

Eva said and with a glowing orb Stripetail from the dinoton dimension appears with him being a lower level the Lord Stripetail. "Stripetail it came a tag team match and I wish you to be my tag team partner" Eva said to him with a smile many gasped at the sight there was TWO Stripetails' now but the differences was that the counter part in dinoton dimension was that he was at level 2.

'Very well I accept" Stripetail said.  He walked into the dueling field, the red crystal on his staff glowing.  STripetail walked up and said. "Alright counterpart here are the rules. You are dueling Zastra's father Dominic and Eva is Dueling Zastra. This duel will be broken up into part-duels, if you and Eva both defeat your opponent, Eva Advances, If you  and Zastra win you'll duel her , winner-take-all. If You win, Eva Advances.Since you are Level 2(which is classified here as Red-level) You'll get 9000 points. Do you need me to explain anything else?" No, My Lord, no more is needed." Stripetail walked away and C-Stripetail got ready to duel. "I Must warn you Eva, it's been a while since I've dueled, nearly 30 years in fact. I'm probably going to be very rusty, at least in the beginning."he said to her and then turned and bowed to Dominic who did the same. 'good Luck sir, " He said to Dominic. "same to you".  Because I'm a Red Level 2 and You are Red Level 1, I'll get to go First." But According to the rules we can't start until their duel is finished. It's my daughter's turn."

Zastra drew a card and a braod grin spread over her face. " I Play Mole in attack mode. He's a regular-sized mole, but he has 400 attack points. Mole Attack her and wipe her out. " Eva's score went down to 0.   Zastra smiled as their side of the field went dark . "Nice Match. You're not eliminated yet Eva, your partner is still in it. If My father wins  or if I defeat Stripetail, I advance either way." She Came over and shook paws with Eva. "Nice matcgh she said again

yes." He replied. "Because of you and Stripetail, that threat is gone. He would have destroyed me too eventually. Your powers are probably gone I would guess, You've used up most of them to restore Earth 51. For saving me, I'm sending my thanks. But next time we meet brother, it's back to normal. You're still in my way Wayne. ' mertavius Turned away. "the Master will reward you as well for what you have done, i know it. Farewell brother,. Mertavius walked out of the room.
- You're welcome Eva. You're into the Fourth round now. It Felt good to duel again. It had been nearly 30 years since I had dueled, and I thought I'd be rusty" But as it turns out I wasn't."

Mertavius wait a second... before you go. think about it... what you could do with your powers... good always has a better outcome if you think about it and there is someone out there that loves you and you do too... think about what evil gets you and what the good can... good goes further with many looking up at you as something to remember forever in books in statues... you see there might be a better view to turn then to carry on..." Wayne said to Mertavius looking right at him

Kilar returns to the dinoton dimension and sits down just a bit from the place Wayne was being treated in at a garden dome looking at the plants that was being grown there. "Nice flowers..."
