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

"Well back in oh 83 or 84 I did several experiemnts with a DNA sample my father had been given,' said frank. "I was also hoping one of you would be able to tell me what this means,' frank said showing both of them the tatoo on his right shoulder.

"Where did you get this,' the male rainbow face asked. "I got it from some guy I met in england back in 44,' said frank. The male rainbow face wispered to the female rainbowface "I think we've found the chosen one.'

Elm coughs "I have good hearing and whispering about such things here is a no no" Elm said with arms crossed "I know about the chosen one because at the time I was going by another name and I was the one that place the tatto on you Frank. Don't my face look simliar?" Elm said looking at Frank "And why you not aged by much?"

"what do you mean by that?" Startor asked

"Frank was biological changed to look, bleed and feel human from a baby in his genes the key genes of the Rainbow Face are there and the accient awoken his DNA a little earily then expected. Frank is my son" Elm said to them

"You can't be serious!?" the female knew what it meant

"his mother is human yes and I went by another name back then" Elm explained then look to Frank "Look at I and look at yourself don't you think it be strange if I kept to that name, a over 140 year old human not looking any older then 50 year old? I think that would turn heads. So to keep you safe from Big Boss I had no choice in the matter." Elm said and now Frank understood why Elm had been so protective and seem to pop around through out his life in the 70s onwards.

(I hope I got this right about te 44' and 83/84 bit)

"I remember you, I do, I do." Ducky said, who had briefly seen the rainbowfaces before she was kidnapped, "You were talking about beyond the mysterious beyond."  

Spike walked closer to the rainbow faces smiling.  "Spike remembers you too and  is happy to see you, he is, his." Ducky said.  Spike nodded.  He did remember them and they had helped them in their rescue of Ducky by helping them to get to the top of the mountain they were at the bottom of.

"Hello there." Ruby said waving to the rainbowfaces.

"Yes," Mr. Thicknose said, remembering Ducky having asked him at one point where beyond the mysterious beyond was and he doing his best to explain what he thought they meant after he asked her where she had heard the term , "It does seem few are open to learning and to new discoveries.  Going somewhere just to see what is there and trying to find out the why behind how things are." He said.

"Petrie wonder what you mean by enormous black, enormous black what, enormous black sharptooth, even bigger then Chomper's Parents or Red Claw, like the flying one that me uncle Pterano told me of that swooped down and gobbled up a herd of Sharpteeth in one gulp?" Petrie said, shivering in fear at such a mental image that he now saw, looking around to be sure it didn't suddenly pop up.

"Pterano and his crazy stories." Cera said, making what she thought of such crazy and wild stories in her voice.  "They talk in riddles remember, they likely mean some large rock or mountain like Mr. Thicknose suggested earlier, not some make believe thing from one of your uncle's wild stories." Cera said.  

"That is just one possibility, there are many others." Mr. Thicknose said.  

"Hi, nice to meet you.  Do you really talk in riddles?" Chomper asked smiling and waiving at the 2 rainbow faces.  "Doesn't that make it hard to understand each other if you talk in riddles?" He asked.

"A human and a rainbowface having a child together?  I was unaware that 2 different kinds could have a child together. "  Mr. Thicknose said.  He had never heard of such a thing and assumed it was not possible, but perhaps it was.

"Maybe they used a device, like one that put us to cold sleep." Chomper said, remembering Startor using the word device.

"A human mother and Rainbowface father? That does seem rather different.  Though different is always different or else it would be the same." Ruby said.

"If not she'll be mighty surprised the next time she sees you." Cera said to Frank.

"Indeed, plus she wasn't aware of it. She believed I was human till she passed away. Plus she would never live as long as Rainbow Faces does. Human life span is only 1/3 of a Rainbow Face life span." Elm said looking to Frank

"Wow this is really amazing" Littlefoot looked at them

the female looked to the kids "it good to see you all again as well but I have to admit you children have grown." then look to chomper "Not if you see beyond what you see with your eyes"

Startor smiled "Imagation, the power of creation"

Evan asked a question "are the little dinosaurs fast learners?" he asked the male one when Ian had walked up to the Male Rainbow Face and lickd his leg happily looking up at him.

Ducky got a sad look on her face, "That is sad, it is it is."

Ducky then listened to the adults talking.  "My momma said I said my first word as she was putting me back into the nest, after I had run off before fully hatching, she did." Ducky said.  

"And some of take longer to learn certain things." Mr. Thicknose said, sighing a bit as he thought certain incidents around the time groundsparkles first fell on the Great Valley and froze all their green food.

Cera walked over a bit closer to the young threehorn.  "hello." She said in a friendly voice, "I have a younger sister not much older then you." She said still in a friendly voice.

Chomper looked a bit confused, "You mean what I smell with my sniffer then what I see?" He asked.

"I think she means using your imagination and other things to figure things out yourself or with your friends helping." Mr. Thicknose said.

Cera nuzzled Melissa the young threehorn.   Saying softly to her, "Who's a little cutie?"

--

Ducky nodded, "He is the amazing longneck boy, he is." Ducky said. Then started to sing, "He is the amazing long neck boy.  He lead us all to the Great Valley.  He is our friend now.

Chomper smiled and joined in, "His big heart saved us all."

Spike started to skat sing in tune.  

Petrie then started to sing, "Who would have thought a task so big, could be done by one so young."

Ruby joined in also, "but we now know he's strong and brave.  We know that he has it all."

Then all of the ones who could speak, except for Spike who continued to scat sing in tune to the others joined in as a chourus, "So greet the amazing longneck boy.  And tell his story near and far.  Because of how happy we are.  He is our shining friend.
The amazing longneck boy.  All greet the amazing longneck boy."

(OOC: Hope the song isn't to silly or spoils the rp scene. The song isn't to good I know. )

Gafndpa LOngneck smiled as he looked upon the two rainbow faces and said "It's nice to see you two again. If you don't mind my asking...when will you need to save us?"

Petrie nodded, "Me uncle use to tell me stories when me only a hatchling."  He said.  Then he nodded to the rest of what Frank said, "Me like hearing stories." He said, "Even scary ones, as long as me in safe place and me friends, or family are near." Petrie said looking at some of the ones present.

Elm nods "We noticed it when we first met Littlefoot after he fell into the Underground Greenhouse" Elm spoke looking over Littlefoot

"Wow guys you are the greatest" Littlefoot smiled

The Female looked at Elm then at the others "what you call a Flying Rock, one was bigger then your valley it hit and all the power we had, we only could save 300 miles of land so we saved the area around your Great Valley." she said to them. "We was only suppose to keep you asleep till everything cleared and the world healed itself then wake you up, but the device malufuctioned and this happened"

"I would offer a tour of the complex but almost all rooms are no where close to your heights" Elm looked at the two adults "but I am sure a tour of the underground valley as the kids call it be fine" Elm smiled walking over to the controls and push a set of keys all the sudden the ground they all on jointed a bit then start moving down.

"Wow it a bigger Lift!" Littlefoot looked amazed as he stare up as they got feather down.

"you can when we get to the Greenhouse, it split into two areas, area one is where Littlefoot landed in where we have a small deepish pond with plants and flowers with some trees, the other area is a big made lake with heavily amount of trees in some parts, other sections are medoews with short grass with openiness for anyone to move around freely in." Elm explained as the lift continues to lower. "But in the Greenhouse section that with mostly small plants, don't walk through the areas that seem to be in straight rows, that where we grow our food. this is only 1 of 3 areas in this complex alone that grow plants" Elm told them some of the rules about this place they about to enter.

Startor looked to the kids "Your going to like what we manage to do underground" Elm reactive his device turning back into the human form as she spoke.

Cera looked at Melissa, "Do you want to come too?  Come on let's go." She asked in a friendly voice.

"Grow your own food? I guess you would need that since it is hard to remain hidden and walk into the Great Valley to get some green food." Mr. Thicknose said.  Then nodded to the mention of the size of him and Grandpa Longneck, "Yes, being large does have certain advantages and disadvantages, just like being small." He said.  

Petrie nodded to Frank, "Me like that.  Maybe we share stories, all us here, sometime." He said.  He liked listening to stories and liked the idea of them sharing stories with their new friends and them sharing stories with each other.  

"I was right, you do have a device that makes you look human." Chomper said, happy that he had figured out something.  He remembers saying, during his talk with Startor last night, that maybe since the rainbowfaces had a device to put the Great Valley into cold sleep maybe they had one to make themselves look human.  

"A Lake & a pond, those must be fun to swim in, for those who know how to swim." Ducky said.  

Spike was wondering what all those plants tasted like and if they had any he had not tasted or eaten yet.  

Mr. Thicknose looked first at Elm then at the kids and Grandpa Longneck.  "This, I"m sure, will prove to be interesting.  Though if you wish to give a separate tour to the young ones since they can fit in more rooms then we can, likely the same ones you can.  It would be ok with me, though I am unable to speak for Mr. Longneck."  Mr. Thicknose said smiling.  

Ducky looked at Elm change back to his human appearance and clasp her hands together smiling. "Neat trick, can you show us how to do that too?  I think that would be fun, I do, I do." She said.

"I am also wanting to hear some of your stories,' the male rainbowface said to frank.
