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

Mim nods understanding, "Yes, it can be rather dull being in just 1 place all the time, especially inside a cave."  She said.  

"As for what now do you want to get water or food, or something?" She asked Spiral.

- - - - -

Blue-eyes nodded, "Shall we be off then?" He said a bit louder so Mia and Diver could her him.  He looked at Scarface, then over to where Mia and Diver were.  He went over to clean himself a bit in the water.

"I"m ready." Mia said and swam towards where the others were.  

"I certainly am." Diver said and swam beside Mia towards the others.  

Once they reached the others they stood up and gently shook, making sure as best as they could that no water got onto the others there.  

"Looks like everybody is ready." Blue-eye said.

Motochika nodded.
"Yes.  The longer we are here, the more your body will weaken.  Let us be off."

Spiral thought for a moment, then nodded. "All right...I don't feel like I need anything, though...Does anyone else?" he said.

Kariya was feeling fine at the moment, so she didn't respond right away.

If I¥d need something, I¥d get it by my own, Ruby said. So don¥t worry about me. From my side, we can go now.

Ecco looked down to Littlefoot. Looks like the little longneck is still shocked a bit.
If you need something, or if I should carry you, just let me know, Ecco said.

Well, I have had enough to eat, Scarface said. We can go, if everyone is ready.

Blue-eyes nods, "Let's be off and head to the Great Valley then."  

"It will be nice to get back to the Great Valley, it certainly will.  Though I do like visiting with you and wish we had more time and had a chance to visit with Deon too." Diver said.

"The next visit will be better." Mia said.  

 - - - - -

Mim smiled to Spiral, "You'll be feeling better in no time."

"Thank you Ecco. But I think I can walk myself now." Littlefoot said and got up on his feet. "Lets go."

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

"Looks like you're all safe and sound..." Blueberry mumbled without looking at anyone.
Instead, he whiped away some dirt from his body.

"I heard some some of us here doesn't want Longtail back...?" he said and looked out over the group of dinosaurs. He spoke with a mild calm voice, but let his serious eyes wander from one person to the other.

Grandpa Longneck cleared his throat and said, "That was Korr who said that Longtail should be left behind...but he's left the meeting since then and none of us here have any idea where he is or could be. I do hope he's not causing any trouble in our home."

Cyrix then tapped Blueberry on his back and asked "What is it you wanted to tell everyone?"

Dante stood, dusted himself off, then nodded at Littlefoot.
"Right.  I'm guessing that we're heading back to the Valley?"
He said, cracking his neck boredly...
_________________________________________________________________________

Virgil nodded at Grandpa Longneck.
"If you want me to, I might be able to see what Korr is up to.  I don't exactly trust him.  Shall I?"
He then turned to Blueberry.
"Go ahead, friend."

Zaine nodded. "I agree Blueberry. Whatever you need to say is more important right now, and they have to hear it." He turned out towards the adults. "Blueberry has something disturbing to tell everyone, so whatever you guys have been arguing about all this time can wait, because right now we have a huge problem."

Petrie had woken up and had just been listening to things while he rested and didn't see a reason to speak up yet.  

"Him trouble like egg eaters & those other 2 flyers uncle with." Petrie said.

Grandpa longneck nodded to Virgil and replied "Yes, but be careful...Korr is crafty and dangerous." He then smiled and said to Blueberry "Now please, your information is important. We will all listen to whatever it is you have to say."

OCC: (I'm not writing down a story summary like I did before again. Should you need to look it over, I strongly suggest you read trough the RP. If not the whole, atleast the important scenes. Hence, why Blueberry's story below will be very short this time. You should all know what have happened by now.
And sorry if I sound boring and lazy. Besides, I'll make sure there'll be a full plot summary before we start part 2. You just make sure you have a good time! :)

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

"Okay... everybody listen..." Blueberry said and started to tell everyone about all the events that had occured over the past day.
He told about the lightning in the ground... the black goo... the dark dinosaur... Longtail's dissapearing... how he and Littlefoot almost got killed...


"And that's why I look the way I do..." Blueberry said and looked at his body.

"Don't worry Grandpa, grandma. Your Grandson is okay." he said and smiled quickly at Littlefoot's grandparents.

A murmur began to spread among the folks at the meeting circle.

"...And that's it." Blueberry said and finished his story.

He then looked around, waiting for the reactions.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Virgil nodded, then ran off, jumping into a nearby tree, planning to search out Korr, while the others caught up on the recent events...

Grandpa Longneck gave a heartfelt sigh and shook his head. After he finished that he looked around for a moment and then said, "That was quite the story, Blueberry. But if what you say is true, then we have to protect ourselves from this Dark Water."

Cyrix then spoke up "What about Longtail?!"

Littlefoots grandpa smiled at Cyrix and replied "You know him better than most of us do Cyrix...what do you think you'll do?"

Cyrix then gave another smile and said, "I'll....wait for him...to show himself. That's all I can do, but I do know this...when he does come looking for us...we need to be ready for anything! So I say we set a trap for my nephew..." As he finished his sentence a devious grin spread across Cyrix's face.

"Trap sound scary.  Who be bait?" Petrie said, scared of the talk of traps and other scary things & remembering the time they used Ducky as bait to lure out the Sharptooth into their own trap, "Ducky bait?" He asked, not liking the idea of any sort of trap or anyone being bait.

Mim looked at the others present. "Any of you want to go to anywhere in particular?" She asked.

Zaine stepped forward and cleared his throat. "I'll be the bait. Longtail will probably try to kill me first, and if not he'll try to turn me. Besides, Cyrix and I probably have the best chances of breaking through to him, but if Cyrix is planning the trap, then I'll be the one to lead him here."

Motochika nodded.
"And Dante as well.  He has a certain...bond to Longtail, and will likely not stop until he has his friend back.  He will most likely be willing to join you as bait for the planned trap..."
He said, looking at Zaine...

Cyrix smiled at Zaine and Motochika's words, but then  shook his head and replied "No, we can't risk you young ones...I'll be the bait. I'll be counting on you Zaine and Dante to hold Longtail down when he get close enough." He then looked up to Grandpa Longneck and asked "What do you think?"

The elderly Longneck nodded his head in agreement and said, "This trap should work, and the other elders will be standing close by in case you three need any help."

Cyrix then turned to Zaine and asked "Do you have any more ideas for this plan?"

"I think we're forgetting something here!" Blueberry took word.
"As I am concerned, Longtail's no longer doing anything using his own will."
"What makes his decision, is the darkness inside him and that dark dinosaur Hadrian."
He made a paus.
"I forgot to tell you, has anyone seen the Mysterious Beyond since the storm ended?"
He turned to the new herd that had arrived.
"I'm sure you've seen it?"
"Whatever it is that has taken Longtail, it has done something in the Mysterious Beyond aswell... Something terrible... I fear that there's more in this than just Longtail..."
He swallowed.
"With the power he has now, I don't think he'll focus on taking out just some of us..."
Blueberry tought for a moment.
"And that dark dinosaur, he must have some ambitions with kidnapping Longtail... and he achives that by making Longtail's dark side stronger... overcorrupted if you like, giving him far greater power than it would take to wipe out just a few of us.
"And if Longtail would've wanted to kill us, why hasn't he done that by now?
"Now, you surely understands that Littlefoot and I barley got away with our lives back in that cave... but what about the rest of you?"
"I heard him back there, his dark side claimed that he should kill his uncle, Cyrix."
"I've seen what he's capable of doing... what says he'll stop here?"
