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

Dante swore under his breath.
"What a pain..."
He said quietly, as he dropped of Doc sprinted over to where Kai was, flipping onto his back, hoping to catch the incoming tail strike with his legs...

Redclaw managed to recover his balance, and swiped Doc's tail, which knocked the tail swipe out of the way. Even though Doc couldn't understand him, Redclaw yelled "You're going to pay for every sharptooth you ever harmed! You heartless monster, trying to kill kids too!"

Cayso let go Longtail and began watching the battle as it progress, feeling a deep sensation of impotence, he really wanted to go, but then he saw the rest of the group, specially his brother who grabbed his arm: - "I want to go."
Racnar replied - "No, you must come now, if there is something in front of us you may be the only one capable to make battle until the others can return." - Cayso frowned and bared his teeth in anger, but he then sighed and began running with Racnar and trying to reach Chomper - "be careful guys" - Cayso thought as he ran.

"We have to have faith in our friends," Chomper called to Cayso. Rita nooded, "Just believe they'll succeed, and that'll give them strength."  Tyra looked back, bitterly at Doc. "Yeah...and when it's over....he won't be able to pick on another sharptooth ever again," she said, angrily remembering her first encounter with the Lone Dinosaur

"You are right!" - Cayso replied as he and his brother reached Chomper and kept on going - "they will succed and they will join us soon!". After that Cayso took the lead, just in case, since he is the current bigger Sharpteeth, but near enough everybody, specially near Chomper who is also capable of fighting if the need arises.

Doc frowned as his tail attack was deflected, but he smiled solely for the fact that he was now on his feet once more. He then charged forward hoping to catch Redclaw off guard, but stopped and shouted in pain as he felt yet another set of claws digging into his skin on his back.

It was none other than Longtail who'd rejoined the fight! He continued to scratch and claw and bite at Doc's hide trying to draw his attention long enough for someone to deliver the final blow.

Redclaw knew it was now or never. He dashed towards Doc, opened his mouth as wide and possible, and bit into the throat. "Thakns kids," he muttered, muffled while biting into the longneck's throat."

Doc tried to scream, but couldn't as his throat was being crushed. He tried for several moments to get his neck free, but as he did he tripped over a rock and fell onto his side again, dragging Redclaw down with him. Doc landed with a thud as he hit the ground, inadvertitly throwing Longtail off his back in the proccess.

Luckily, Redclaw didn't suffer as much damage. Doc was down now. He looked at Longtail, Kai, and Dante. "Now's the time to end the life of this murderer," he huffed, catching his breath

Longtail stood in front of Doc for a moment and asked a question.
"Doc...I know you see all sharpteeth as mindless and deadly creatures...but they're not."

Doc snorted as best he could with his wounds and said in reply: "Yeah....right kid...and why...do you believe that?"

Longtail sighed.
"Because I'm half sharptooth by blood. Didn't it seem weird to you that I can talk to them or know their language at all?" he asked with a stern face

Doc gave a dark grin and said, "Then....kid...I hope...you know...that sharpteeth ALWAYS...betray...each other...for themselves." And with that Doc closed his eyes and waited for the finishing blow.

"You're wrong." Redclaw muttered, even thoguh he couldn't speak leafeater, he could understand t. "You've never met anyone of us, you've NEVER known any sharpteeth personally, so how can you go around and call yourself some hero of justice." Redclaw looked at Kai, Longtail, and Dante. "We'll do it together..." he sid

Kai reared back, his talon ready to end the Lone Dinosaur's life, a small, evil grin on his face...

But Dante stepped in front of them, arms out to the sides.
"Guys.  If you do this, you'll be reducing yourself to his level.  Do you really want to do that?  It's your call..."
He said, cryptically...

Longtail sighed.
"I'm not killing anyone today...i just came here to solve my problems from the past...not make new ones for the future." he said in a low tone of voice. He looked to the other sharpteeth around him and said, "Do what must be done. I'm going to catch up with the others."
He then turned and flapped his wings lifting into the air. He gave one last look at Doc and sighed.

Doc no longer had the strength to fight. He took a deep breath as he now knew what was coming next...he just hoped it would be painless.

Kai held his talon up for a moment longer, then lowered it.
"I won't give you the satisfaction of being proven right.  Not all sharpteeth are killers.  Remember that.  C'mon, Redclaw.  Let's go find the others."
He sighed, tyrbing away...

Dante looked at Doc and sighed softky.
"Look inside yourself, Doc.  You'll see that everyone can be different than what you think of them as."
He said, shaking his head...

Redclaw realized the children were right. "Yeah, let's go find everyone else. Besdies, with the condition he's in he won't be any threat to us." The big rex began walking off

While Doc couldn't understand what the sharpteeth were saying...he got the feeling that they were telling him to give peace a chance....or something like that. He sighed as he watched Redclaw walking away, with the other sharpteeth not far behind. He simply sighed and began to rest...letting his body recover slowly, knowing he wasn't going anywhere for a long while.

Longtail stopped after flying a little ways off..just to see if the others had finished off Doc...and to his surprise they all appeared to have no blood spread upon them. Longtail smiled on reflex and said, "I'm proud...of all of you."

Pearl however had just landed at the cave and called out...
"MOM! DAD! I'm home!!!" She looked behind her and said, "I brought friends!"

((OOC: Who wants to play Pearls parents?))

OOC: I guess I will.

IC: "Pearl!" her father yelled. "Where have you been?! Your mother and I have...AGH?!" he looked behind her daughter, and saw 12 sharpteeth: Longtail, Chomper, Kai, Tyra, Rita, Chomper's mom, Chomper's dad, Redclaw, Cayso, Racnar, Veli, and Dante. The parents began panicking, they never really had good experiences with sharpteeth....

((Then I'll play her mother))

Pearl's mother gasped as well as she noticed the group of sharpteeth behind her daughter. She stepped closer and asked, "P-pearl dear. I'm glad you are safe and sound...but...why are there sharpteeth behind you?"

Pearl winced at her fathers tone of voice, but then gave a shy smile.
"Mom...dad...these are my friends. They found me on the beach at the other side of the big water, and brought me back home. I-I hope that's okay."

Longtail wanted to say hello, but decided to stay silent out of respect for Pearl's mother and father.

Dante bowed deeply, his nose almost touching the floor.
"It's an honor and a pleasure to meet you both.  My name's Dante.  Dante S. Starfall."
He said, smiling kindly and speaking in leafeater...

Kai nodded.
"Um... H-hello.  I am Kai.  N-nice to...meet you..."
He stammered nervously, also in leafeater....

Racnar stood a step behind his brother, keeping a serious look while Cayso introduced them - "Good day, I am Cayso and this is my brother Racnar. It is very nice to meet you."
