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

"I'd sure like to speak with Frank."
"Problem is he's gone now, isn't he?"

"I don't think anyone would inject me anyway." Evan said.
"That's a question of how far I would volunteer for science, and for Ian's saftey."
"I just wait for Elm to tell me what I should be doing."
"For now, I'll be teaching and taking care of little Ian here."
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"Sir the boat is coming in" one of the comm officers spoke out as the boat enters the harbour the young men looked very scared in the boat seeing so many guns locked on them.

"We unarmed! Serious we unarmed we only do delivers!" One spoke out
"Yeah we don't even have the rank to hold a weapon!" the second said afterwards as the boat come into the dock. "Please take the dinosaur before I wet myself with all these guns on me..." the second one held up the baby sleeping Triceratops to Frank
"Yeah take this box as well... B-b-bo-Boss wanted Professor Elm to have it, something in this tin that only he can touch... that what the boss said" the first hands the tin box to Elm "Please take the dinosaur... I want to go back to just playing cards... this line of duty is not often but we love our free time!"

Elm looked to all the men "lower your guns they no harm. they not even armed the boat is a simple speedboat" Elm said holding the tin box "Frank if you don't mind take her so these men can leave"

Farnk nodded his head and his gaurds lowered their guns. He took the baby threehorn in his hands. "Awww it's so cute,' one of his gaurds said. "I think I'll name her Melissa,' said frank.

Mr. Thicknose nodded, "It must be very well hidden.  That could be why it has not been seen by anyone in the area yet.  Perhaps concealed behind a bush or vines or something like that." He said.  

"Sounds like they're hiding something." Cera said with a look of skepticism on her face.

"Maybe they have a good reason, they may." Ducky said to Ducky.

"I'm sure they do have a good reason, or believe that they do." Mr. Thicknose said.

"Maybe." Cera said, not fully convinced.

the two scared men got to the seats and using what possible speed in the boat left in a rush scared out of their minds "We should head back, the meeting be in a 2 hours" Elm suggested to Frank and seeing the little threehorn waking up looking right at Frank.

"It not long to go, the bright circle is almost there" Littlefoot looked to the sky.

Melissa looked up at frank and started crying. "Oh now melissa there no need to cry,' said frank. Melissa looked up at frank and squicked happily at him. "Professer where's evan I think melissa here would make a great friend to what did you say the greggs new name was,' asked frank.

Cera got a bit of an impatient look on her face, "Let's head over there right now." She said then partially turned as if she were about to start walking in the direction Littlefoot had said.

"Well it not going to open till they said what time it suppose to open, it won't be seen easy when closed it looks like and feel like part of the Great wall. They know how to really hide stuff" Littlefoot explained

----

"Ian I believe his name is" as they head back to the train and the doors close heading back to the Complex. "Also no one, I mean no one can access this inside of the tin..." Elm said to Frank "I have feeling it something that a debt is going to be repaid from Big Boss, before he was DIGs leader I saved his life from a major explosion that would of killed him ever since he owned me is life and now I have a feeling his repaid it by giving me the purest form ever of the DCURE. but you can't tell anyone this" Elm said in a serious tone to Frank. "Please promise me you would this is deeply personally and I am trusting you enough to tell you"

"Hiding stuff, sounds a bit suspicious to me.  And what are we suppose to do till then?" Cera said suspicious of these strange humans she had not met yet.

Ducky brightened up smiling, we can talk, or play a game, like log running." She said.

"Oh, not that." Cera said, remembering the last time she had tried that and what happened and how her dad reacted, "I'd rather just talk and be bored then give dad a reason to get mad."

"Like he need reason." Petrie said very quietly to himself.  

Cera looked up at Petrie with some mild anger in her face and voice, "What did you say?" Cera asked.

"Like need reason to pass time.  We talk.  Petrie to excited to play." He said, hoping Cera would not think he said what he said and wishing he had not let it slip.

"Yes, talking can be fun.  After all you do enjoy hearing one of Mr. Longneck's stories." Mr. Thicknose said.

"Yes, we do, yep, yep, yep." Ducky said smiling and nodding happily.

"At least they are better then Pterano's wild stories." Cera said.

"No go there." Petrie said.

Since they were not doing anything interesting Spike walked over to a nearby bush and started eating.

Back in the Greenhouse, Evan was playing with Ian.
He tried different games of learning, much like those humans use at home with their youngs. Ian showed no difference.
Every little task he solved without any trouble at all.
After all that he'd seen, Evan was not suprised about it.
Though he didn't want to cause Ian any harm, he was curious about how much alike Ian's DNA would be to a human of the same age.
He was gonna ask Argaya about that later.

Now, Ian was resting in the knees of Evan.
"I guess you better sleep for a while, untill Littlefoot and his friends come." Evan mumbled.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Elm and Frank arrive back at the lab and then Elm said to Frank "why don't you take her down to Greenhouse B7, Evan should be done there, his field of studies is based on life styles of all forms of life and what he knows of Ian is that they are very quick learners their minds seem to be open to countless possibitiles depending on the very father, mother or herd relations" Elm said to Frank.

"I am going to my lab to check this sample out and put it in the safe as well so no one can be affected by this pure sample" Elm said then heads to his lab. "Oh Frank, you, Evan and the little ones go in the lift by the lake in the next zone, that will take you into the shielded viewing room, looks like your going to be seeing our guests face to face afterall" Elm smiled knowing Frank will like that alot then he leaves

Littlefoot watched what they said and had to agree with Cera about Ducky's game then turn to Cera "I think they unfreezing the Rainbow Faces we met before when we found that rock they spoke of as some stone of cold fire but isn't" Littlefoot made sure to say those words so Cera didn't snap at him for saying it was some magical rock.

Cera got a mad look on her face, "I don't trust them.  They acted like knew it all, but wouldn't say anything, and it was their fault for what happened to Ducky with their lies and untrue stories about the stone having magic powers.  HA, magic, there is no such of a thing." Cera said skeptical about how the rainbowfaces could be trusted.  

"I have heard a little of these rainbow faces." Mr Thicknose said, "I was in another part of the valley but was heading back when I was told by a flyer about an important meeting they were having.  I wasn't sure if I'd get there in time so told him how I'd vote in case I didn't make it in time."  Mr. Thicknose said, not mentioning that he had seen some strange shaft of light that night when he was walking towards the meeting place.

"Things turned out ok, they did." Ducky said.  

Petrie nodded, "They help us get top of mountain." Petrie said.

"Well, if they had not told those likes about the stone  having magic, " Cera said, the word magic said with a very sarcastic tone of voice, "They would not have needed to help what they caused.  I think maybe they should stay frozed.  They caused trouble the last they were here." Cera said.

Mr Thicknose nodded, "That is a valid point.  They may not have meant for all that to happen that did, but they are at least partially responsible.  Any intelligent person has to know what may happen if one starts spreading stories of an item or person having special powers." He said.  "Though the primary responsibility lies with the 3 flyers." Mr Thicknose said, not mentioning their names since one was Petrie's uncle and he didn't wish to cause the young flyer undue pain.  

"He sorry for what he did, he change.  He save Ducky." Petrie said with some hurt in his voice.

Ducky nodded, "He did, he did.  The flight back to the Great Valley was far more fun then the flight to the booming mountain." Ducky said.

Petrie turned to the direction he had seen his uncle fly way.  "5 cold times, it forever." He said.

Mr. Thicknose walked a bit closer to where Petrie was and said in a more comforting tone of voice, "Some indeed to mature quickly when they experience a traumatic incident in their lives.  Pterano may have matured quite a bit in those few moments right before he saved Ducky, but only time will tell."  He then smiled to Petrie, "5 cold times may feel like a long time now, but it'll pass quicker they you know and as you get older it'll not seem as long as it does not." he said.

Frank set melissa down. She treid to walk but tripped over her feet. 'Guess I better teach you to walk then,' said frank. "First you lift one foot the set it down in front of you then do it again now you try,' said frank. Melissa started walking but went to fast and tripped over a vine. "Careful now melissa,' said frank. Melissa squicked back in response.

Evan was looking trough his bag for a new pair of glasses, when he heard someone coming.
'Who is there?'
he said. Ian got up behind him, yawning and stretching his body and tail.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Big Boss smiled "I knew you would be, this power is being blocked by dampers all over the island." Big boss explained "Now lets get back to the surface, I will give you the key task of the air craft deployment and making sure some personally don't disobey me again." Big Boss finished explaining the tasks given to Sam "Also you have two Rainbow Guards that will be under your orders but I can override those orders still"

----

Littlefoot sighed "I know but the night before that weird awakening with all that melting frozen water, I saw them heading to one of those landing strange lights then the humans told me that they woke us up from one of those things that the two Rainbow Faces where found frozened." Littlefoot explained then said "Also I think the humans said that we was found frozen too till Elm found a way to turn the things off and woke us up out of the frozen water." Littlefoot remembering the best he can of what Elm and Evan said and what he saw that night a cold time ago.

"Maybe, I still don't know." Cera said.  Her skepticism in her voice and face.

"Hmm, I wonder why we were frozen in the first place and for how long.  It must have been a long time for the night lights to have changed as they did." Mr. Thicknose said curious.

"I wonder what meeting the humans will be like, and what will happen.  I do, I do." Ducky said.

"Maybe it be scary." Petrie said a bit scared.  "Me exciteded too." He said, glad he had his friends and 2 of the grown ups that he liked with him.  

"We will not know till we get there and see." Chomper said, a bit excited and scared also.
