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

Wayne sighs "I guess I have to stay" Wayne mumbled

The Card Stripetail Picked showed a gem in the middle.

'card name: Gem of Hope'

'Special attack that gives up to one turn to any creature to attack a Titan and maybe beat it if the attack is powerful enough... this card is one of a kind take good care of it' the card said.

"ThAnk You" Stripetail said As he put the card in his deck. The Human handed him the Trophy and shook hands with him. "That was simply amazing sir' the Human said. "You flatter me" Stripetail said, but he smiled as the human broke off the handshake. "sire if you would hold the trophy above your head bso we can get a nice picture for the Dinoton NEws" A Dinoton called out, and several flashes lit up Stripetail's figure as he held up the trophy. Soon One of the humans came over to clear a path for Stripetail to exit the stadium. "Wait , sire" A Voice called out from behind him. He Turned and Givire stood there.  Givire walked up to him, in his paw he held five red cards. "These are the Red Cards of Earth 51, the most powerful cards a Earth 51 wizard can possess." "Givire, if I may ask.why didn't you play these?" "Well, sire.the cards were divided among us,  we each had one.but we had already agreed before amongst ourselves that the winner of the duel would get all 5 cards. And, well they were near the bottom of our decks. Take them Sire" He Pressed them into Stripetail's paws. "i Insist. " Givire looked tired.  STripetail reluctantly put them into his deck and shuffled it. He Then Turned back to Givire. "you don't look too good , if I May say so Givire". Givire wore a faint smile.
 "Can you keep a secret My Lord?' Givire 's voice dropped to a whisper. "I'm dying Sire, i have a magical disease which is draining me of my powers. I have had it for nearly sixty years, but it has gotten much worse over the last few years. I  will likely die within five years, or so my doctor has told me. This duel we have just finished will be my last, " Givire paused and sighed heavily. STripetail looked aroung the crowd to break up the uncomfortable silence. He Saw C-Stripetail and Eva  looking for him. "STripetail! Eva! over here! He called out, and they ran over towards him. "I Promise to keep your secret, but this will not remain a secret for long' He Said to givire. "the other Elite must have noticed your condition" Givire shook his head. " I have not told them, yet. But you're right, I will have to tell them soon. Goodbye , Sire. Dueling with you has been a great honor" He Shook with Stripetail and disappearred into the crowd.

C-Stripetail was the first to reach him. "Simply incredible my Lord. You must be tired, you've been dueling for nearly 7 hours" "7 hours?' Stripetail exclaimed as Eva came up to him and embraced him.. He Awkwardly handed the throphy to C-Stripetail so he could fully embrace his protege. He Quickly parted fropm Eva and said to her. 'Let's go pay Wayne a Visit. We Can discuss the duel when we get there.Teleportius" The Three vanished.
They reappeared outside Wayne's room.. Stripetail opened the door, and Stripetail saw Wayne Dirah and Tircai clapping loudly for him. "That was amazing master!" "is that a Trophy? It's big enough for Tircai to fit inside of it! Here Wayne look at this" Stripetail held his paws up for silence. 'Alright everyone, let's settle down for awhile. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but try to ask them one at a time" He Sat down on a chair by Wayne's bed, the trophy sitting in the middle of it. Dirah Eva and C-Stripetail all sat in chairs around the bed. 'Alright, Wayne, you can start us off, I'm sure you have a couple questions.

' But That'snot my question..."

 Stripetail paused. "So you're asking me how many Titans I Possess? That's simple. I own 7." You could hear a pin drop in the room it was so quiet.

"So that where the last ended up at" Wayne thought then thought about the odd card that the Wayne in the central dimension had he remembered since he had partly that Wayne's memiors. it wasn't a Titan but something odd and different then he looked at Stripetail "Stripetail is there a box with a seal in your inside pocket... something that you can't seem to open up?" Wayne asked him

Wayne put his claw on it and then he pulled it slid open and a card was in there, Wayne picked it up "As I thought... the Wayne in the Central Dimension had hold of it... the Card of Dreams... using this card you can summon a creature from that world of dreams and its powers are greater then anything seen in the world where living lives..." Wayne said reading the info on the card.

"May I look at it, master? Tircai asked. Wayne handed him the card. "hmmm. This cards power depends on the nature of your dreams. If You have experienced good dreams before a duel, this  card can give yiou a tremendous advantage. But, if you have had poor dreams, this card will backfire and wipe you out in one move. So don't play it master if you have slept poorly:' Tircai said, handing it back to Wayne. "Also this card like the Ultimater is a Titan-class card. It cannot be destroyed by ordinary cards."

"Well I don't have poor or good dreams... I have dreams that very creative in a way of speaking... but I see your point. But the last bad dream I ever had was when I was only a child... never had one since" Wayne said to Tircai "Maybe that why the card was put in that box for me cause of the nature of my dream power..." Wayne said staring at the card after Tircai gave it back.

I'm testing your level of mortality. Dragons live much longer than Dinotons do. " The Nurse brought in a device and set it up next to the the bed. She Handed a vial of blood to Stripetail. "This Device will give out a reading Wayne. Anything below 1 is immortal. 1-2 is borderline. Anything above 2 is mortal. The Last test I Ran on you came out to be about 1.3, But That has probably changed since then. STripetail dripped a few drops on the device ands pressed a button. a number flashed across the screen :1.49.  "Hmmm according to this, you have been moving more towards the mortal end. To Be honest I'm surprised, I was expecting anywhere from 1.3-1.1, indicating you are becoming immortal. but this shows the opposite"

Without warning the singal on the device changed moving away from the mortal side. "Erm Stripetail is the reader suppose to do that? it going down and away from 2..." Eva said looking at the device. "I know about this type of technology but it shouldn't do that... that is confusing for me"

The number then went towards 2 then down to 1 as this started to happen going towards one point to the other the lighting started to flicker then the machine connected to way was starting to turn on and off through out the building the surge was causing power to turn on and off.

Then the number on the meter passed 1 and hit -0.1 before it blow out "What was that about!?" Eva said looking at the damaged device "It was going mental!!!" Eva said in shock.

That is because Wayne has a lot of energy flowing through him, which causes the readings to fluctate. He is not immortal, though" Stripetail Pulled a clearc bottle out of his robes and put a few drops onto the blood. "this should give us a better reading. He Pressed the button again and It Read 1.49, then 1.27 then 1.98 up and down it went gradually the fluctation decreased the number was 1.27 then 1.51 then 1.45, 1.5 it finally stopped at 1.49. He Looked At Wayne. "The number is higher than before because you are now a dragon. Your mortality is not changed.

All the sudden it did what the machine did instantly droped to -0.1 and the bottle shattered to pieces and the Orb of the Temple appeared in front of them. "You are mistaken... the blood of a Dragon is never mortal... no reading can tell if he mortal or immortal you can use all magic and machine tests you wish it will end in 1.49... then drop to -0.1 shattering or destorying... I sensed the surge this tested was done by the dragon lord 1 million years ago same results he before had lived 5000 years and only ruled of Dinoton for 5 years before the great evil Wizzin drained all power from him and turned him into stone for life..." Orb moved around and look at the Nurse

"If you wish not to destory yourselfs do not do any more tests of finding out if he is mortal or immortal... I will prove it for you... this test" the Orb looked at Wayne and zapped him with a energy bolt.

"AH!" Wayne growled getting up and sneering at the orb "What was that for!?"

"It proven he is immortal the test would of killed anyone instantly... only that is immortal wouldn't it was the only way to be sure... sorry for the risk but it a standard test... I will return... unless Wizzin Stripetail you wish to have a question for me" The Orb looked at Stirpetail.
