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

Longtail felt Cayso blocking his first two attacks and then he smiled as he knew he had one move left....FATALITY! He then reached around with his claws and aimed for Cayso's neck...knowing that Cayso couldn't block all these attacks at once.
"Time to finish this." were the next words to come from Longtail's mouth in sharptooth language as he and Cayso landed on the ground.

Cayso could see what were Longtail's intentions, and even though he tried to keep this match friendly, he realized this was no longer a spar, but a fight for survival, so Cayso acted accordingly; As soon as Longtail finished talking, just before his fatal attack, Cayso raised his left leg and buried his claws on Longtail's belly, not very deep, but enough to use the Flyer as support so Cayso used his right leg to give a strong kick to Longtail's beak just before he could reach the Fast-bitter's neck and enough to break free.
 As he landed, Cayso replied in sharptooth - "So, you are really into playing hardball, don't you?, then let me show you something." - Cayso throw a large ammount of dust towards Longtail and then he began running in zig-zag, just like at the beginning, but this time, he was much faster; running in circles now making sounds to confuse Longtail and then Cayso jumped and gave a heavy scratch on the Flyer's left arm.

Longtail winced as he elft the attack from Cayso after being covered by the dust cloud. He couldn't see, but that didn't matter. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He began listening to his surroundings and waited for the right moment to strike.
Longtail also knew that this fight was now reaching an all new level. He smiled while he said "Well now...this is getting far too fun!" and then he jumped into the air avoiding another close swing from Cyaso, while at the same time landed onto his back and dug his feet into Cayso's back and tried to bite him.

"It appears to me like it may not be a sparring match anymore, though I"m no expert in fighting." Mim said.

"It looks the same to me also.  I wonder what my Grandpa would say.  He must have seen lots of people sparing." Littlefoot said.

Cayso groaned as Longtail's claws dug into his skin, so he turned his head trying to bite the Flyer off him but it was unsuccesful, so he threw himself to the floor, hitting his back and expecting Longtail to flee to avoid been hitted. Longtail was fast enough to escape unharmed, Cayso stood up quickly too and jumped towards the Flyer, in a quick move he spinned his tail to the right making a full circle and used that movement to gain speed as he kept his hands together, raising them and then lowering them very quickly trying to slash Longtail with all of his claws.

Longtail saw the attack coming, but not fast enough to dodge it as he felt Cayso's claws scratch across his face. Longtail gave a yelp of pain, as he stumbled backwards and fell off balance just enough for Cayso to attack once again. Longtail felt another wave of pain hit him as Cayso's tail made contact with his belly and sent him skidding across the floor.
Longtail then grinned and gave a short laugh as he stood up on uneven legs. His sight was getting blurry...or it could have been the blood in his eyes Longtail just wasn't' sure anymore.
Longtail suddenly charged forward in a blind rage, swinging his claws wildly hoping to strike Cayso before he could get any distance.

Cyrix frowned and said "This is getting worse...I don't think Longtail is using tactics anymore...I have to stop this match." Cyrix then began to step forward to interfere but he stopped...he had never seen Longtail fight this hard before...and truth be told he was curious to see how much longer hie nephew would hold...but he stayed standing just in case.

Ecco also noticed, that this isn¥t a sparing match any longer. And he was wondering, why Cyrix stopped. Cyrix, what is it. Stop the fight! Or do you want it to become worser then it is??

Cyrix turned to Ecco and said "I...I can't...I just have to see how this fight ends. I've waitd a long time to see Longtail fight his hard...I just need to see what happens...it's all or nothing!"

As Longtail began attacking in a blind rage, Cayso did his best to avoid being injured, running backwards and using his arms as shields, but no avail, Cayso got cuts in both forearms - "I don't get it!, his sight and left arm are impaired, how can he still attacking like this?" - Cayso thought, but he realised that he had no choice but to try to attack again, he bared his teeth and by letting himself to recieve more injuries he grabbed the Flyer's neck with his left hand and used his right hand to punch the stomach of his adversary just below the ribs, trying to make Longtail faint.

Longtail felt the punch to the gut and he tried to cough, but with Cayso's hand around his throat it was too hard. At fist his mind was clouded with rage and wanting Cayso to let go, so he did the natural thing.

Longtail bit down hard on Cayso's left arm, while at the same time brought his tail around and whipped him in the face. Hoping he'd let go. His eyes however showed a glow of pure anger something that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Cayso tried not to scream for the deep bite in his left arm and the tail whipping didn't help either, but this time Cayso did not released the flyer's neck, on the contrary, he began to squeez harder on Longtail's neck and he tried to cover his face and prevent more whips.

The lack of air, and the pain coming with his neck being squeezed made it too hard to keep attacking and Longtail was starting to loose his sight...black rings began to dot his vision. He looked over just in time to see something that made him smile.

Cyrix used both of his hands to break Cayso's hold on Longtails' neck and then pushed Cayso backwards while at the same time catching Longtail with the other. He then said...
"This fight is over you two..." He turned to face Ecco and asked "Would you like to help me here?"

In the heat of the battle, Cayso was so focused on try to defeat Longtail that he forgot there were other dinosaurs watching the fight, so in that instant he saw Cyrix as a threat and he prepared himself to jump and attack him too.

OOC: I hope Cayso will be stopped by Ecco, as Cyrix may be too busy with Longtail.

Mim and Littlefoot got up ready to help if need be.  "I hope they will both be ok and are not hurt to badly." Littlefoot said.

OCC: Okay, I am back to write now

IC: Ecco saw Cayso doing indications to jump on Cyrix. Why the hell does something like that always happen to me, he asked himself. Then he started running in the direction of Cayso. He knew that if he wouldn¥t stop him, that this would get bad. He promised Cayso to stop him if he is into too much anger. Because he doesn¥t have control about himself then any longer. So, as Cayso was in the air, to attacking Cyrix, he jumped, and smashed him. Both of them rolled over the ground. Right after rolling, Ecco got up again , putting his weight onto Cayso and holding his arms to the ground. Calm down, it¥s over. The fight is over, Ecco said softly but direct.

Cyrix gave a long winded sigh and said "Thank you Ecco...for a moment there I was worried." The rainbow face then turned his attention to his nephew as he said "I do believe we've seen enough. Longtail...are you alright...can you hear me?"

Longtail's eyes fluttered open...and he screamed in pain as the shock from his wounds and torn wing finally set into his mind. He cried and wriggled in pain, and finally finding his voice among other things Longtail whispered out "H-help...me..."

Cyrix however was already over by Mim's side and asking "Where can we find plants to take the pain away...that should come first, then we can worry about dealing with the wounds...it's better if Longtail can't feel what I'm going to have to do to him." He then looked at his nephew's wing and sighed, it was so badly torn.

Mim nods, "There are some I know of that will numb the area and pain for a while at least." Mim said.  She also nodded to what Cyrix meant guessing what he meant about Longtail should not feel what he needed to do.  

"That could be some plants my grandpa told me not to eat since he said they would make your mouth, lips and tongue a little numb for a while." Littlefoot said.

Mim looked at Littlefoot, "let's go and and get some stuff that we need." She said to Littlefoot then turned back to Cyrix, "It may be best if you try to keep Longtail calm and quiet." she said, and looked at Ecco, "and you can help with Cayso." She said smiling before she and Littlefoot went off to look for and get some stuff.

Cyrix then turned to Cayso and Ecco and asked "Are you two alright? Do you need some special herbs, or plants for your wounds?"

OCC: Let¥s wait for Chile here ;-)

IC: Looks like Longtail managed to ignore all the pain in his rage. Amazing, Ruby said. She walked over to him and laid a hand down on his head. Besides the pain, are you alright? Or do you think there is anything else?
