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

Finally Together Again/Into the Mysterious Beyond

"As an old ornery longneck said, looks looks like it's time to snap necks and take names." Mim said.   "Hold on tight." She said to Ducky before putting her in her mouth, the best way she could think of with short notice to keep a firm hold on her and keep her at least partially protected with her own head and face providing a type of meat shield.  Ducky was mainly side ways.  She used her tiny hands to hold on to part of her jaw.  

Mim slapped one across the face that was to her side with her tail and punched another one in it's solar plexus.  It partally bent over, allowing her thrust her leg out hard, hitting it to the side of it's knee and snapping it.  She shoved this one at another.  Another fastbiter jumped on her back and started to bite her neck with it's arms around her chest.  She reached down and grabbing it's pinky jerked it the opposite way it was suppose to go, snapping it and making the fastbiter cry out in pain.  She quickly spun it around, wrapping her arms around its neck and with a jerk and a shove snapped it's neck, shoving it at another one.  

---

Littlefoot was for a moment frozen in fear then he started to use his tail.  He managed to trip a fastbiter, Petrie flew in and pecked it's face, further distracting it.  Littlefoot then jumped on it's chest, not sure is weight would do much, but hoping that would at least stun it.

(ooc: Hope none of what I did was to power gamey)

Shera stood there, terrified. One of the fastbiters came her way. She didn't move, while he came closer.

Just when the fastbiter was getting really close she closer her eyes, lowered her head and ran towards him. She felt her horn hitting him, but kept on running, in fear.

The fastbiter fell on the ground. Shera ran away from the group without noticing.

To be honest Longtail was shocked at how fast these sharpteeth had managed to overtake their group. He was still looking around trying to count just how many there were, but he already knew two things for sure: They were outnumbered and were easily separating everyone in the group. He wanted to warn the others, but he just didn't have the time to do so, and with that thought in mind, Longtail took a deep breath and set loose his signature cry: The Guardian's Roar, causing the ground to shake, and crack, but at the same time sounding like a quiet loving song.

Cyrix having seen what was happening, covered his ears after throwing a sharptooth to the ground and stepping on it's neck to hold it in place. He then thought to himself 'This ought to get EVERYONE'S attention for a moment...long enough at least for Longtail to make a fast strike and help deal with these fastbitters.'

One of the fastbiters made a leap againts Mitch, aiming for his trout.
Mitch was prepared, he spun around, slaming the sharpteeth hard with his tail in mid-air.
It was sent airborn, and tumbled away on the ground futher away.
How many are there? And where did Zaine go?!
"Hey, Shera! Don't run away!" Mitch said as he saw Shera running away from the group. He set off after her, raming another fastbiter to the ground as he did.
This sound! Mitch made a face, as he couldn't cover his ears.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Shera heard her name through all the battle noise. She opened her eyes, seeing a rock in front of her, slowed down her speed and stopped just in front of it. Quickly she turned around to see if the fastbiter was still there. She saw the whole scenario. Where is Zaine... she wondered. Then she saw Mitch again, calling for her.

"I'm here! I'm sorry." She shouted at him because he was still quite a distance away from her.

"Shera, you okay?" Mitch said as he caught up with her.
"We have to stay toghete... Sigh* Now what...?"
Two fastbiters had shown up, blocking Mitch's and Shera's path back to the group.
"Stay behind me, Shera..." Mitch mumbled.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way!" He called out to the sharpteeth's, as he wagged his tail trough the air, stomping a foot hard to the ground.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"I'm.. Okay I guess" she said.
She saw the 2 fastbiters. She stayed behind Mitch as she was told.

Zaine had noticed the fast biters approach Mitch and Shera. "Back off you creeps!" With all his might, he lunged towards the fast biters and body slammed right into them, sending them flying into a huge rock face near them. He landed and turned towards Mitch and Shera. "Are you two ok?" Then he winced and fell to his knees. Zaine could feel huge amounts of pain after that last move. Great. If these sharpteeth don't kill me, then I'll end up killing myself. He struggled but managed to stand. "Come on! The others still need help!"

Chomper continued to slash away at individual fast biters, either blinding them or disabling them. He quickly turned around and noticed Zaine with Mitch and Shera. Oh good. He's ok.

Strut eventually was surrounded by four fast biters. He looked around for anything that could be used as a weapon. He then saw a rock the size of his hand and a couple of vines. Quickly, he grabbed the rock and tied it to his hand. Then the fast biters approached. "It's game time." He spun around and swung the hand with the rock attatched at one's head. He then continued to smash the rock against the fast biters' bodies, effectively killing or knocking them out.




Meanwhile, from afar, Ozzy stood in shock. "This is pathetic. How are the sharpteeth losing? They're a bunch of children!" He then noticed some afults with them. "Oh great. They have help." Then he noticed Strut fighting alongside them. "Strut? Why that no good-" but his thought was interrupted when he saw Zaine. "No. It's not possible! He should be dead!" In disgust and shear shock, he turned around and left his hiding place. Nobody noticed he was there.

"I am fine" shera said to Zaine. She saw the painful look on his face. "But are you...?"

She walked to him, looking at his wounds. "Well.. Yes we should help them." Shivering she looked at all the fast biters threatening her friends.

Mitch nodded at Zaine, he knew that he was ill, but worrying about him at this moment wouldn't help anyone.
He approached the other fastbiters, that was treatening his younger friends.
"Hey you, vermins! Care to take on one of your own size!?" he said with anger, showing his teeth, and waged his tail from side to side.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Littlefoot felt a fastbiter grab him.  Then Petrie pecked it's face near it's eye.  It swatted a hand at Petrie in annoyance and Littlefoot slapped his tail against it's leg behind it's knee forcing it's leg to bend and it to go backwards and into a fastbiter attacking Mim.  She used the confusion and opportunity to jump a little and kick it's side mid or higher up, helping to push it in the same direction and both went down in a tangle of arms, legs & tails with both saying rather impolite words in sharptooth.

Mitch slamed another fastbiter into a rock with his tail, knocking it uncouncious.
He then took battle stance next to Mim, Littlefoot and the others.
"Nice one! he said with a grin. You guys okay? How many more are there?!" he said, and looked out for new attacks.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

"Thanks.  I hope the others are doing ok." Littlefoot looked around to see how the others are doing. "How are you folks doing?" Littlefoot asked Mitch and the others near him glancing at them before he went back to seeing how the others were doing and at the fastbiters.

"I do not think this is a fun ride, no, no, no." Ducky said, still holding onto Mim's jaw and sideways in her mouth to keep both of Mim's hands free and to project at least some of Ducky.  Mim looked around to see the state of things, with scratches and other wounds that would heal.  

"Me no like this." Petrie said also looking around.

Longtail had to admit, this wasn't getting any easier, or fun...as he was pinned by two sharpteeth, and a third was licking it's lips. He looked up at the fastbiter and spat in it's face as he said "You don't scare me!" The fastbitter just laughed and stepped onto Longtail's neck and moved in to finish Longtail off.

Cyrix tail whipped a fastbitter into the ground and pushed another one face first into a rock. He then noticed that he and Longtail had been seperated, and he had no clue as to what was happening to his nephew.

(Right, I'll just stick with it)
Ptyra had fled in a different direction, and saw Longtail and Cyrix's ambush.
Ptyra: What to do...I don't want to risk more damage...

Dante flipped into the air, bringing his foot onto the sharptooth attacking Longtail, then whipping his tail around to flatten the other two.
"You okay, Longtail?"
He asked, dodging another swipe at himself...

Virgil tackled a fastbiter, stepping hard onto it's neck.  Grinning darkly, he turned towards another group, asking...
"Who's next?"...

Motochika was spinning about, his tail knocking any who got near him to the ground...

Zaine nodded. "I'll be fine Shera. Thanks anyway." He then quickly limped towards a long stick lying on the ground and grabbed it with his mouth. He began to furiously swing the stick at random fast biters, knocking them out.

Chomper ran towards Longtail and helped him up. "Watch yourself! These sharpteeth aren't playing around!"

Strut had just finished killing another fast biter when he thought he saw something moving in the distance. "Who is that?" He squinted his eyes to try and get a better look, but whoever it was they were gone already. "Must be seeing things."

Zaine quickly looked around at the others, making sure everybody was ok. "Keep it up guys!" He then turned towards Chomper. "Chomper, how many more are there?"

"I think this is the last few!"

"We can't give up now!" Strut replied.

Littlefoot jumped on the fastbiters that tangled up knocking the wind out of a the one on top and then he jumped off and looked to see if any other needed help.  He whipped his tail and tripped another one, Petrie giving it's head a few picks from behind as Mim was also in the process of punching it first with one fist, then as it was tripped by Littlefoot with her other fist that came from underneath hitting it's chin.

"How Everyone?" Petrie asked from his position hovering above and looking around.

Longtail took Chomper's help, and said "Thanks Dante, and you too Chomper, I noticed that these guys are tough. Now how about we push our luck and get out of here?"

Cyrix seeing what happened ran over to check on his nephew "Are you alright?! I'm sorry I got separated from you Longtail." He then asked "I think this fight is over. The sharpteeth are leaving."
