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

"Good to meet you Miss Lurna" one of the said, speaking for the others. "I see  that we are few in number now..." he looked at Stripetail. "So this is the Wizzin, correct?' he asked Bahumut.

"Yes Lord Stripetail from another relam or say Dimension." Bahumut stats to them "I know your few in number but together you still can pull off anything and that what you have to believe. remember those that we lost but keep in mind that all worked together to get this far into life." Bahumut spoke out to them

"Since we low in numbers there might be a place we all can move to in his dimension. There could be a risk that I might lose my respect of King of the Dragons as a royal sign as I do here but there are lots of dragons living on a world of their own. The spell is almost complete to take the temple there, but I want to know if you all wish to move there. If any wish not then the temple stays. I believe you all earned that right to choose" Bahumut smiled "whatever you pick I wouldn't be anger with you, its your choice that that what this point is about." Bahumut said to them all making a gracefully speech to his followers

"If the temple goes... we go too" the spoksdragon replied. The others murmured in agreement.  "There is very little magic left here, staying here would condemn us to a slow decline.. We need to move sir"

"Then it agreed but we will move soon as Picard comes, I hear his a Sliver Dragon and the Admrial said that he will try and get him to come to see me" on that cue Picard beams down and  they turn to see the human size siver dragon wings and all shades of sliver. "Now that is amazing" Bahumut whispers to himself.

"Hello I am Captain John Luc Picard. I was told by the Admiral that someone wanted to see me?" Picard asked looking at them.

That somebody would be Bahumut here' Stripetail said. "I see you've shed your scales Picard..." He said with a smile "Or begun to at any rate. " There were areas on Picards neck where the scales were coming off, and new ones starting to replace them...

"Yes Stripetail." Picard replied "I never knew about this till it happened."

"Well most types do but I don't nor does my child" Bahumut said to Picard

"The legnendary King of Dragons Bahumut. I read stories of you but never thought I see the the very Bahumut" Picard smiled put a claw hand out

"How about being your normal size and shake my claw." Bahumut said to Picard with a grin

Picard took off the modifed uniform off and then became about a foot taller then Bahumut and found his hands was more like fore claws with his thumbs now twisted to the back of his palm what was not a foot like claw "I gather the full size form is natural to walk on fours or twos. quite unusally." Picard said looking at himself.

Bahumt put out his claw hand and Picard put his claw front foot in this form and closed it around his claw hand and shook "This is roughly a Sliver dragon is when around a normal size form. they usually like most dragons that in this type of form has front feet in normal forms." Bahumut explained a little and Picard looked at the followers of Bahumut's seeing they was just like him with front feet like Picard is in normal size.

"your kind I gather in normal size of small size are humaniod in a way with claw hands, I know Tarrax and some others are like you in normal size forms the way their kinds arm." Picard spoke and then looked to Stripetail "How more suprises am I instantled for being a Dragon"

"Thank you Incanur." Picard said looking over at Incanur "I am happy that the federation has sorted something out with you" Picard smiled

Bahumut looked at Stripetail and Incanur "Changed? how is it possible for a human to turn into a sliver dragon? sliver blood is almost toxic to the insides of any living being part from sliver dragons" Bahumut said to them

"A sliver magical coin from two twin sliver dragons" Picard answered his question.

"Interesting. I gather that coin was a once use only. magic that powerful once used it goes dead the coin would be just a plain normal sliver coin" Bahumut said finding it amazing to hear it.

"Well i have to be on my best behavior... or else" Incanur looked at stripetail "Once we go brother, i want my powers back and a chance to regain my former position. " Stripetail gave him a look. "You'll have to earn them back. I won't just give them to you Incanur...'

"Yes it was only a one-time use" snowpaw nodded.

Picard turn back into humaniod form and put his uniform back on "it was good meeting you Bahumut but I have to go back to my ship. Hope to see you around, I am going to the dragon homeworld to see what the note I got was about" Picard said and smiled and then tap his badge "one to beam up" Picard said and beams up to the ship.

"Well that was interesting" Bahumut smiled and looked to the others "well should we finish the spell?"

(in this reality the name Bahumut used in the game Final Fanstany to keep Bahumut alive while he sleep in the the dark and light relam)

"Thank you Stripetail, that would mean much for me, my child and my followers" Bahumut smiled

Sorry" stripetail said shee[ishly. The 16 dragons. allow with Snowpaw and Incanur and Lurna, Dashed inside Stripetail completed the spell and then made his way inside. the spell took effect as soon as Stripetail went inside.  As they exied again they found themselves in a steamy jungle with the smell of sulfur in the air from a nearby Volcano. "The spell worked." stripetail said.

"It was a symbol spell, one of mine." Bahumut said to him and Tarrax looked at him "I am Bahumut I am from the federation dimension, I am known there as Bahumut the King of Dragons. these are my followers they are the last of the Dragons of Earth in our dimension and this is my child Lurna"

"Hello sir" Lurna smiled.
