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

"Chomper is right..." - Cayso said - "If the one that will come to destroy the island hasn't arrived yet, we do have the chance to prevent everything from happening.".

 Racnar's sleep story became more intense, he began crying as he could see all the chaos; he then heard a voice, a voice he has never listened before, but he sensed it belongs to someone important for him - "You and your friends cannot stop me!, you choosed your way, but Cayso has doubts, he will join me!." - After hearing that, Racnar gathered enough air on his loungs and screamed, as hard as he could - "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" - The scream was strong enough to abruptly wake up the child. He fell down from his brother's back as he also realized the scream was heard by everybody in the cave. - "Racnar!, are you ok?" - Cayso asked with much concern as he immediately kneeled besides his brother.

In the mean time Greyclaw listened to Aster and nodded, he saw the girl and closed his eyes - "She was touched by.... that can't be.... how many times do I have to kill you?" - The Fast-bitter opened his eyes and walked to some nearby bushes and grabbed some herbs, his eyes were glowing as he did that and thought - "This will help that girl, as I don't want anything from that monster to remain." - Greyclaw's eyes stop glowing and he went to Aster - "Consider giving her these herbs, they will make her feel better."

"We'll use them if need be," Aster said, the belly dragger starting to trust Greyclaw a bit.

But Greycla's words bothered him. "What do you mean "How many times do I have to kill?" Aster asked "Who ware you talking about, and what do you mean how many times, can't eveything only die once?

Greyclaw smiled and replied - "I am sorry if that bothered you, is that... I had a sensation, of an old enemy waiting for me in that island. And I thought that enemy died long ago..." - He laughed, almost innocently - ".. funny how some of us are always destined to fight, isn't that right?."

Inside the cave, Racnar was still dizzy for the waking up he got, but he managed to say - "This isn't right, someone very dangerous is too close to the island, we must stop him." - Cayso looked at his brother, placing a hand on his shoulder repied - "well, at least we now know is a male, can you tell us something else?" - To that, Racnar shooked his head, and some tears appeared - "He is not playing games, I ... I saw what can happen, or Longtail sinks the island or the carnage will be...".
 Cayso hugged Racnar and said to Chomper and the others - "Chomper, we must follow your plan, we must buy Longtail some time to decide."

OOC: Sorry I wrote this post in a hurry, I fixed some minor typos.

Dante's and Kai's eyes both began to glow crimson red.
"The one who seeks our deaths...approaches..."
Dante said, as he looked towards the land bridge.

"That he is..."
Kai hissed, his eyes narrowed...

"Here's the plan, or at least part of it," Chomper began to explain. "Mom, dad, Redclaw, since you are the biggest ones in our group, could you do something that could smash the land bridge?" he adked.

"I can try," Redclaw replied "I'm sure your parents will also assist us."

Chomper looked at his friends. "Do you guys no any other way we can smash something like that?" he asked

(Starfallraptor, could you control Chomper's folks again? I had GVG take over for them when you left temporarily.)

(Sure.  I'll take care of them.)
Chomper's mother nodded.
"Of course we'll go help.  Right, love?"
She asked, nuzzling Chomper's father lovingly.
"We will.  After all, we all should do what we can."
He replied resolutely.

Dante nodded as well.
"I'll go too.  I can cover you guys if something tries to attack."
He said, rolling his shoulders.

Kai looked over at Redclaw, then smirked.
"Count me in, too.  I'll do what I can to help."
He stated resolutely...

"We just need a way to crush the bridge," Chomper said.

"Maybe with big rocks or applying a lot of weight on it," Tyra said. "But we'd need a way so you guys wouldn't fall into the big water," she said to Kai, Chomper's parents, Redclaw, and Dante.

"And it looks like waves won't come and do this nautrally," Veli added

Longtail stood up with a determined grin on his face as he turned to his friends and said, "Now this...is my destiny! If I can sink the island...then I can raise it again one day! You guys need to get off this island...and quick! You just have to trust me."
Longtail then turned to the new voice with a quizzical look and asked, "Who are you?"

Suddenly another voice called out of the blue fog as it began turn yellow like the bright circle.
"Wow kid....this is one bad problem you've got. I suppose I could try to help you and your 'adoptive' family here out."

The two new presences didn't passed inadvertently for Greyclaw - "Well, I'm sorry but I have to leave you Aster, I have some things to do in that island... before it sinks." - After that, Greyclaw entered the land bridge and began running as his eyes began glowing again. - "Hehehe, all of them in one place, this is too convenient." - He thought as he ran towards the island.

Cayso grabbed his brother and placed him on his back again, he then looked at Longtail and asked him. - "So, we will follow your plan then Longtail?. If that's the case, we will keep the one that wants to destroy this island away from you until you can complete your task."
As the two new presences appeared, Racnar said - "We should also listen what they have to say... it must be important."

"No...the plan has changed...all of you...my friends...my family are going to get off this island as fast as you can and leave me here. I have to do this alone." said Longtail with a hint of sadness in his voice, but a stern look in his eyes. He then turned to the  unseen voice.
"Look I know you're a dead Guardian but if you're here to give me another speech about my destiny, then you are way too late. I'm sinking this island just as soon as my friends get off it."

The voice sighed and said, "Well that's great kid, but ya know I'm actually here to give your friends a quick lesson on what or more correctly who in this cave is related and really  is a member of your family. I know I'm one...after all you do get that whole eye color change trick from me after all."

Longtail's eyes widened in sudden shock as he turned around to see a white sharptooth stepping out of the now golden fog and on instinct took a step backwards as he stuttered as if in a dream...."D-d-dad..."

The white sharptooth replied.
"The very same my son."

~~~~

Pearl began to feel better and sat up to see Greyclaw running for the island. She looked shocked as she didn't know who or what that sharptooth was going to do, and was about to take off for the cave her friends were in when Sheila stopped her.

"Well...good to see you're up and about. Aster was really beginning to worry about you little one."

Redclaw, even though he didn't want to leave Longtail behind, knew that what was happening on this island was bigger than even he was.  "We have to go then," he said regretfully.

"I just hope the guy who wants to destroy this place doesn't get here," Veli said

"He does look like a strong-good guy, very much like our step-father..." - Racnar said about Longtail's father. - "...I do wonder if our real father may be like him."

Cayso just smiled and bowed to Longtail's father. - "We must trust Longtail and leave the island, if someone can survive what's comes now, is him." - Cayso, however, has a bad feeling... what if the one that wants to destroy the island founds them?.


OOC: This is just in case, but Racnar does not know his father, Greyclaw left his herd's home before Racnar's hatching, when the exodus was about to start.

"Then we have to go now, as Longtail said," Redclaw commented.  Chomper, Rita, Tyra, and Veli knew this had to be done, and Kai, Cayso, Racnar, Dante, and Chomper's folks probably felt the same way.

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you're feeling better," Aster said.  "But based on your warning, the island will be sinking soon

Longtail turned to Cayso and gave a nervous giggle as he said, "Uhh...if you expect me to survive this little stunt...then you're crazy!" He then turned to the spirit of his father, who he was still doubtful about and asked, "I...am going to die...doing this...right?"

The white sharptooth rolled his eyes.
"I don't know...it all depends on you kid. Wether you live or die is always up to you...it seems to be something your good at." He then turned to face everyone else in the cave. "I'm getting the rest of you out of here...when we leave the cave just follow the bright floating leaf."

~~~~

Pearl turned to face Aster and asked, "Who was that sharptooth, and why is he going over to our home? I think he's up to no good...we have to stop him!"

"Ok," Chomper nodded, and followed the white sharptooth followed by his friends and family.

~~~~~

"He said his name is Greyclaw," Aster said, "But if he worries you, me and Sheila will come back to the island with you, but we must hurry."

Cayso looked back at Longtail and replied - "Well, you must know by now that I am crazy enough to believe that the impossible can happen, Racnar believes that too... even though we will not say anything at all." - The kid then faced Longtail's father and nodded as he began walking towards the exit just like the others.

Racnar still feels uneasy, he was hesitating to ask this question, but it feels it can be necessary - "Excuse me... Longtail's father, but... do you know who wants to destroy this island?... I know he is near."

Longtail gave a sly smile at Cayso's remark and turned so his back was facing the entrance and his friends as he took a deep breath and waited.

The white sharptooth sighed.
"Yes...and no. I do know who it is...but I can't say anymore than that. You all will have to find out on your own who is coming, but with him being so close we don't have a lot of time." As Longtail's father stepped out into the daylight he indeed turned into a floating white treestar and shined when he spoke. "This way."

~~~~~~

Pearl started to stand and follow Greyclaw, but suddenly she stopped...as if someone had grabbed her by her shoulders. She then shed a tear and said, "No...w-we have to stay here...safe, away from the island...I don't know why...but my heart is telling me to trust what I feel...so I will try."

"Let's go Kai," Tyra said to Kai. Chomper, redclaw, Rita, Veli, and Tyra got around the floating treestar.

(Are they supposed to ride the treestar off the island or something?)

~~~~

"OK, we will protect you if something happens," Aster assured Pearl

Cayso, who is still carrying Racnar, was the last to leave the cave, they saw Longtail's father turned into a white treestar - "This is one of the most unique things I have ever seen." - Cayso said in amazement, he turned back his head and saw that his brother has a worried look on his face - "what is it bro?"

Racnar replied - "I cannot be sure... I have some really bad feelings about what can happen now."

At that moment, Greyclaw stopped for a second to take a look at the island. - "Destiny is upon us now, this is what I was meant to do but,... are they in the island too, with the guardians?" - the Fast-bitter bared his teeth in anger and began running again, almost reaching the island now.

"That is amazing," Chomper said, watching Longtail's father's ability to transform. "But we have to get going," he added regretfully
