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

Land Before Time: Out of the Ice

"Well," Cera said still not sure about them, "I guess they didn't steal them from anyone in the Great Valley since I"m sure we'd have heard of missing eggs." Cera said, guessing that her father would make sure the valley knew within seconds of his hearing about it, especially any missing threehorn egg.  "

Mr. Thicknose looked around the place, "How long did it take you to make all this, and how long have you been here.  It is quite.... amazing." He said.

Ducky looked at the babies, "Maybe it is like when I found Spike's egg.  He had not mommy and daddy nearby so he came to the Great Valley with us and my mommy and daddy adopteded him." She said.  Spike nodded, remembering.  

"Big place." Petrie said looking around from the back of Mr. Thicknose where he was.  

Chomper sniffed around to see if he could smell what different sorts were there that they could not see.  "This place looks like it could hold many people." Chomper said.

"It is large.  A small place would not be large enough for Littlefoot's grandfather to walk into, or the rest of us as well." Ruby said.  "This is indeed exciting." She said.

"Well I can't really answer that quesiton I was here when it was being built but this been around 2 years I gather." Startor counting in her head how long the complexs been around "about a year before we found a way to wake all you dinosaurs up. Also one is built near to a peak that well shaped like a Threehorn"

"Threehorn Peak? you have another complex there?" Littlefoot looked amazed

"Yeah it far smaller then this one. It more for stroaging DNA and information gathering" Startor replied to his question.

"Wow that cool" Littlefoot looked around then see Elm "There Elm! By the big frozen water. Look in it, it the Rainbow Faces! but why does it look like they falling?"

"We not sure all we could guess is that they activated the units that put you all to sleep and must of blown out on them sending them flying backwards and freezing them in sleep like stat in that position that our only idea" Startor said to Littlefoot

Longtail heard the warning for the screens, but as he flew around happily he missed two and hit a third with a loud smack right in his face. He slid down the glass screen cover and caught himself as he fell and landed on his feet.

He shook his head to clear the spots that danced in his vision. He then smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry...heh...well they work. And now my head is sore...but I'm okay."

Grandpa Longneck smiled and laughed at Longtail as he said "Well, perhaps next time you will be a little slower when you fly, but I am glad to hear that you are okay."

"Now that had to hurt,' said frank. "As that old pilot saying goes a good crash is one you can walk away from,' frank said chuckling.

Longtail smiled at Frank and said "Oh this is nothing you should see me when I'm flying between the trees...I'm better when I can actually see what I'm flying towards."

(Is that Evan?)

Startor chuckled a little "well that teach you a lesson" suddenly they heard the musical note played for the annocment "It starting" Startor turn to look where Elm stood.

Evan kept Ian up in his arms and listened in "here we go"

----

Elm clears his throat then speaks "Welcome everyone to the major meeting at 10 past 11 in the morning. I welcome those are special guests today as well, we will be today unfreezing two dinosaurs in this ice with this device, it took a year to repair and reconfigureant to allow them to be unfreezed, as you see here the crash matts will soften their fall." Elm talks calmly to them all through the mic. "men are you ready?"

the men slide the machine into place ready to activate it "yes sir" both men said getting the systems powered up.

"Now we believe these two where the ones that saved every dinosaur on this landmass from the sad fate that lead to the lose of all the others accross the world 65 million years ago. A rock the size of a massive island crashed from the skies. These two activated a massive set that is to believe to freeze sleep everyone on this island protecting it from the blast of the rock caused covering the whole island in a massive layer of ice. This is only theory though, but the technoloy is evidence of that what we found" Elm speaks calmly through to mic of the theory behind it all.

----

"wow they really saved us..." Littlefoot was amazed that the Rainbow Faces did such a act. "See Cera, they really helped us out"

"Remember it a theory, we could be wrong all we know but the evdience of the devices when we found them and deactivating them let to our belief it was these two that freeze sleep everyone on the landmass including the Great Valley. so maybe your right" Startor turn to Littlefoot talking as it was theory but had to agree with what Littlefoot saying.

---

"Sir we ready when you are" one of the men called out.

"Alright begin" Elm spoke, the device starts to fire a beam at the ice then all the sudden it shatters to pieces with both Rainbow Faces flying out into the crash mat and then seconds later sounds of one telling the other to get off the other "Good Morning" Elm spoke they suddenly stopped aurging at each other then look at Elm then around seeing they was in some sort of large inside place.

(Who like to be the male and Female Rainbow Faces? or some people takes one of each?)

(I'll be the male one)

"Who are you,' asked the male rainbow face.

------------

Frank watched on "Well maybe after everyone else leaves we could talk to them,' said frank.

"I am Professor Elm and this my friends is the year 2012 to the human calander, you been freezen sleep for 65 million years" he puts the mic away turning it off then walking over to them and whispers to them

----- (Mic turned off no one can hear them talking at this point)

 "I should know because you two failed to show up on time having to send two others to find out what happened Big Boss..."

"Elm? Elmston?" the female whispers back Elm shows a little device on strape to his arm and winks "65 million years you said?" she gets up and look to the male one "Look like..." she pause looking around at all the humans at their seats looking at the two.

----- (mic now turn back on)

Elm takes the mic back on and steps up to them "They know of your technology, everyone including those behind the screening over there" Elm points to the blacken wall "they can hear and see you but you can't see of hear them. Once this meeting over you will see them ok you two?" Elm look at them and the female nods and elbows the male one he nods as well.

"Right we figured out the pieces from finding the landmass a year ago and since then it took this long to get this working to wake you up" Elm touch the machine with his hand then points to the scientist that stood up "these people aided in the project I was leading and help get this working, is them and I you should thank the most but the big question is..."

Elm went back to them "Was it you two who saved the dinosaurs from harm 65 million years ago? planting the units all over the land mass? The Truth" Elm put the mic at them both waiting for a answer.

"Well you always spilled things we wasn't suppose to say, go ahead and tell them all, it your moment to shine" the female Rainbow Face said looking right at him. "Fill free to speak out, I am not stopping you this time."

"Yes it was us,' said the male rainbow face.

-----------
Frank wondered why elm turned the mic off when he talked to the two. "Most interesting,' he said to himself. As he watched he remembered he had been told that a great desteny awaited him. "Might those two understand the dreams I've been having and the tatoo on my should,' he thought looking at his right shoulder.

"Wow so they did save us!" Littlefoot beamed out happily.

"I wonder as well Frank about the mic turning off" Evan said to him. "I saw that look on your face when he turn the mic off, so I guessed you was wondering" Ian nods seeming to understanding some what Evan was saying.

Startor knelt down to Chomper "So bud are you able to take a scent of the two Rainbow Faces and Elm?" Startor whispers to Chomper just him hearing her "Whisper back at this low voice" she said quietly to him.

---

"Well many people here going to have questions, so we will let a few of them ask some if that is ok with you two" Elm hands the mic over to the female Rainbow Face.

"I believe it's alright, since there seem to be a fair bit of technology here to build such a place like this and to repair that" she said seeming a bit on the side of weariness.

Elm went up to one that put his hand up "Please be calm on the question, only 3 will be asked then once answered we will give them room to recover which means everyone get back to duties after the three questions." Elm explained to them before giving the mic to that person.

"I'm hoping they'll understand what this means,' said frank showing startor a tatoo of two rainbowfaces fighting on his right shoulder.

Startor wasn't taking much notice since she was talking to Chomper in a low quiet voice but Littlefoot looked at Frank's tail then the Rainbow Faces he could see "Your tail looks like a Rainbow Face tail"

(ooc: I guess he was able to and can smell they are the same, if not feel free to say and I"ll edit the post.)

Chomper had been sniffing, attempting to hide his real reason for sniffing, "So that is what Rainbowfaces smell like and look like." He said.  To Startor he lowered his voice so only she could hear, "yes, they smell like the same kind."  

"Is it them?" Ducky asked, having only briefly seen them before she was kidnapped by Pterano and the other 2 flyers.  

"It them." Petrie said looking at the Rainbow faces.  "Petrie remember."

"Yea, it's them all right.  I guess they'll start talking in riddles and acting like they know it all.  Though I guess it was nice they saved us all, I wonder why.  Very few help unless they have a reason behind helping." Cera said, still a bit unsure of what was really going on.  She had learned from her dad, and from the adventures with Littlefoot, things seldom were always what they looked like at first.

"So, those are the famous rainbowfaces I have heard some of the other grownups talk about.  Interesting." Mr. Thicknose said looking at the Rainbowfaces.  

"Me still wonder what he about to say about enormous black, enormous black what, enormous black sharptooth.  Bigger even then Red Claw or the first sharptooth we met on way to Great Valley?" Petrie said and shivering at the memories he had of those 2 sharpteeth, especially the first one.  

Mr. Thicknose looked at Petrie briefly from having been looking at the Rainbowfaces. "Maybe they meant an enormous black mountain, or an enormous black rock." Mr. Thicknose said.

"I bet he was just making it up, to sound like he knows more then he really does." Cera said.

"If so he wouldn't be the first, nor the last." Mr Thicknose said.

"Me no sure they help on purposes.  Me remember she get mad when he help us by bringing green food while we sleep in cave." Petrie said.

"Sometimes people act different at different times and for different reasons." Ruby said looking at the rainbowfaces then to Petrie.

Longtail looked confused as he asked "Wait...rainbow faces...I've never seen those two before...who the treesweet are they? And why do they look exactly the same?"

Grandpa Longneck smiled and said "I'm sure you'll get to ask them yourselfs...although I too am curious as to why they are here stuck in frozen water." He looked down to Mr.Thicknose and asked "Do you have any ideas?"

"So the Professor is one of them" Startor whispered back "But he been around for over 50 years, his age to the health records is 78." Startor whispers to Chomper

"----If he from the past and frozen sleep in a different area but woke and merge with the human race it would make sense----,(only chomper hears this) his done alot of things that helped, he also managed form the New Earth Alliance that ended a war amoung us humans those that was very greedy for power. If it wasn't for him no one would of found this island and figured out how to use that technology" Startor whispers the frozen sleep part to Chomper then stands up speaking loud the rest about Elm

"I heard he did form the EWA that brought most of the worlds human race together under the flag of truce and friendship, that no matter how different you are big or small we are all born from this very soil we walk on, which includes the Dinosaurs and little Ian" Evan said rubbing Ian's rub softly he squcking happily.

"Yeah I heard that too,' said frank. "After the fighting ended offically there was still some restance from those who didn't want peace I was one of a few chosen to par take in a attack on the restance's base,' said frank thinking back.
