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

The Land Before Time: Sharpteeth Adventures

Cayso didn't look at the others, he just kept on running as some words escaped from him - "I just want to persuade him to stop...".

Racnar looked at the landbridge and he hurried to stand up - "The way out... is showing itself." - He began walking but he couldn't avoid sheding some tears.

Greyclaw entered the cave, as he began walking inside getting closer to Longtail, all the fog began dissipating around the fast-biter, in fact, a dark fog formed around the intruder, so dense that only the glow of his yellow eyes were visible - "All forces in nature have their opposites, every force in nature has an appointed task, but when that force loses the way, it is the job of the opposite force to return everything to normal." - He stopped just a few meters behind Longtail and continued speaking. - "Guardians: envoys of light, blinded by their own arrogance, deciding the fate of everyone without caring of the consequences... that is my job here boy, to teach them a little lesson in humility."

Dante froze, then he turned to the others with him.
"There's no time.  He's right where Longtail is.  I'm gonna go on ahead.  Try to get there as fast as you can, since I don't know how long I'll be able to hold him..."
He said, then flickered out, disappearing into a red and black blur before fading from view.

"He...disappeared..."
Kai said, dumbstruck...
_________________________________________________________________________
 
As Greyclaw spoke to Longtail, Dante arrived, standing between them.
"Hold it right there.  I don't know who you are, and I don't much care, but if you intend to teach the Guardians a lesson, I suggest you take me on first.  I'm also a Guardian, and on that honor, you won't get past me!"
He said, shifting into a fighting stance, eyes locked on Greyclaw..

The land bridge was completely ready by now.  "We have to leave now, as they instructed," Chomper said.  He, Tyra, Rita, and Veli went over to Racnar.

"Will you need our help to walk?" Tyra asked concerned

Racnar looked at Chomper and shook his head - "Don't worry... I'll be fine." - without saying more he started walking towards the landbridge. - "What would they think if I tell them who is the intruder?. Even if Cayso knows too... I cannot avoid been worried about him, something is wrong with all of this." - The kid thought, having a very worried look on his face.
---
Kai wasn't the only one dumbstrucked, Cayso had to stop running as he saw Dante just... vanishing in front of his eyes. - "That's wicked, but we have no more time." - Cayso blinked once and started running again, getting very near the entrance now followed very closely by Kai.
---
Greyclaw didn't even flinch after seen the new arrival, he didn't change to a fighting stance and he only smirked - "A Guardian you say?, you don't even have an idea of what is to be one of them kid, in fact, I smell something else in you, something hidden and dark." - The Fast-biter gave a couple of step towards Dante, giving a evil grin. - "If you are too willing to fight, I'll let you try to give me the first strike, make it count for something!."

Ok, let's keep going," Tyra said, concerned about Kai.  "I know they can win any battle they come across."

Back with Pearl and the belly draggers, Aster sniffed the air.  "I think I can smell some of the friends you mentioned," Aster smiled, Pearl still recovering

Dante looked at Greyclaw, hatred burning in his eyes.
"You're exactly right.  There is something dark inside me.  And that's what's gonna kill you.  Here we go!"

He lunged, striking Greyclaw into the air with a vicious uppercut kick, then leaping up after him, grabbed him by the back of the head.  He roared, then drove downward, slamming Greyclaw face first into the ground before charging several dark flame rounds and firing them into his prone form.  To finish, he tossed him into the air, launching him into the far wall of the cave with a massive stream of fire.

"Now, stay there and die..."
He hissed, his right eye now deep black, and a mask of bone starting to form on his face...

The black fog was covering Greyclaw, as he stood up and shooking the dust off him he said - "I must say I am impressed Sankakku, those attacks hurted me..." - The Fast-biter now took a fighting stance, smiling evilly - "... but I warned you to make your attack worthy." - Greyclaw ran very fast towards Dante and striked him hard in his stomach with a punch formed with both of his hands and heavily surrounded by the dark fog, he quickly used the momentum his attack gave him to make a spin movement and to strike now using his tail as a whip. As the Trodoon fell back from the impact, the attacker grabbed his opponent's tail and tossed him away, jumping after him and landing just next to Dante as he fell down hard into the ground - "Come on, get up! I want to have some more fun before my reinforcement arrives!".
---
Racnar took a look at the end of the Landbridge - "Aren't those the Bellydraggers Pearl warned to leave the island?. I wonder if they saw the intruder that came to fight against Longtail and the others."

As everyone got back to the mainland, Veli looked back at the island.  "I'm going to back there and see if I can help!" he called.

~~~~

"How dare you!" Redclaw yelled, attacking Greyclaw, knocking him to the ground with his foot then trying to hold him down with it

As they reached the mainland, Racnar thought that they may have seen the intruder, and since he knew he looked just like him, the kid decided to remain a few steps behind Chomper.
---
 Greyclaw heavily hit the ground after Redclaw's attack and used both of his hands to avoid been squished, but he still managed to dig his claws very deep in Redclaw's foot, enough to allow some blood to go out. As the bigger sharptooth yelled, the fast-biter took advantage of the time to get out the hole made by his opponent, and to climb up his leg until he reached Redclaw's back and jumped from there, forming a sphere of dark energy that was aimed at Dante.

 At that time, Cayso and Kai finally entered the cave.

"Hang on!" Redclaw called.  Before Greyclaw could throw the energy blast, Redclaw jumped up and knocked Greyclaw with his head, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.  "You ok?" he said, running over to Dante.

~~~~~


"Um....hello there," Chomper smiled to the belly draggers, standing beside his parents, the rest of the group behind them

Dante staggered to his feet.  
"Yeah...I'm fine.  And at the moment...I think it's time to get a little bit more serious..."
He said, reaching for a rapidly-forming white mask over the side of his face...
"Now...Hollowfication!"
He yelled, pulling the mask over his face completely, a black aura momentarily enveloping him, then dissipating. Dante stood there, with bleached-white armor over his right arm and both legs, staring down Greyclaw.  

Kai, meanwhile, his eyes glowing with the dark power of Sankakku, faced off against Greyclaw, throwing kicks and claw swipes at his foe with unerring precision and speed...

Redclaw was ready to fight when he needed to, he ran up to assist Kai.

"Hello there," Chomper called to the belly draggers again.

(Starfall, Chiletrek, could one of you play one of the belly draggers?  You can make up an OC.)

With Redclaw's intervention, then the coming of Kai and Dante's renewed power, Greyclaw was in a serious disadvantage, he couldn't believe this was happening, and even though he appeared he was trying to protect himself, in fact, he was charging his power, and releasing it as he roared very loudly: - "ENOUGH!" - the roar made all the cave to shake, the dark fog covering his arms formed giant claws, he jumped towards Kai and used the kid as a support to jump again and grab Redclaw's neck with his dark claws and toss him far away to one of the cave's walls.
He landed on his feet with no problems, looking at Dante with a vicious look, but he then felt another presence in the cave. - "So, what will you do?. Will you come fight against me too?" - He was referring to Cayso, who was very confused, not knowing what to do.
---
In the mainland, a grownup female Bellydragger approached the group - "Hello, my name is Elly, and I wanted to ask you about our home, the island, what is happening there?" - There was preoccupation on the Bellydragger's voice.

"An epic battle is happening back on that island," Rita explained.  "I'd say you got off there just in time," Chomper added.  "Is a flyer named Pearll around?" he asked, concerned about the flyer after Soul cast that weird spell.


~~~

"Ugh..." Redclaw muttered. He was able to get back on his feet, but he still needed some time to recover from the blow.

"HEY!" two voices called: it was Gem and Diamond, flying into action!

"A battle?  Then count me in!"
Said Vayne, another younger Bellydragger, with excitement...
_________________________________________________________________________

Dante looked at Greyclaw coldly.  
"So...that is your power?  Then let us see...Which darkness is superior..."
He muttered, a cold grin forming on his face as he stared...

Kai sat up, shaking his head.
"Redclaw...you okay?"
He asked, shakily getting back to his feet...

"Yeah, I'll be ok kid," Redclaw breathed.

~~~~~

Chomper than figured it out.  "We need to stop the bad guys as a team!" he called happily.  "If we all work together, we'll beat  the bad guys attacking our friends!"

"Count us in," Aster said, carrying a sleeping Pearl on her back

"We need to defend our home." - Elly also replied with determination, she is a very graceful Bellydragger that can make very quick attacks.

Racnar was staring at the group and sighed, he came closer to Chomper - "I don't think I could persuade any of you to change your minds, so if you think we will all return, then let's do it." - He paused for a moment before continuing - "... no matter what can happen there, just remember that me and Cayso will always be your friends."
---
Greyclaw looked at Dante while taking a defensive stance and giving an evil grin - "Bring it on kid." - He moved his hand like calling for Dante and letting him know he can make the first move.

Cayso went to where Kai and Redclaw are - "Are both of you ok?" - He asked with concern, but there is sadness in Cayso's voice, he is sure hiding something... but he is hesitating to tell them what is it about, turning his sight to Dante and Greyclaw as they get ready to continue the fight.

OOC: Any of you know something about GVG? he hasn't reply for quite a while.

"Don't worry, we'll always be your friends too Racnar," Chomper smiled in reply.  "We promise we won't let anything bad happen to you," added Tyra.

Meanwhile, Veli flew back to the island, hoping to find the cave.


"Since the landbridge might break, since belly draggers can swim, we can ride on thier backs, right?" planned Chomper.  "Correct," replied Aster.  "But what about your mom and dad?" asked Rita.  "Wouldn't we need many to carry them, if that's possible."

(Yeah, I'm wondering about GVG myself, maybe do you think we should control his characters until we hear from him again?

Here's who GVG controlled:
Longtail
Doc
Soul
Sheila the Bellydragger
Pearl
Gem(Pearl's mom.)

OOC: Maybe we should wait, he may have been too busy doing real-life things and he may come back soon. I think we should be patient.

IC: Racnar nodded to Chomper and Tyra - "I appreciate that... more than you can imagine." - He then sighed and thought - "Stay alive Cayso... don't do anything crazy."

OOC: Good point, we can wait for him.

IC:  "We can do anything if we stick together," Rita smiled, kissing Chomper.  Aster put Pearl on Sheila's back. "we should depart for our home soon," Aster said.  He looked up at Chomper's parents. "I think around 10 of us combined can carry you two."
