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

Soul turned to face Dante and gave a wide smile as she addressed everyone present.
"If we start the Spirit Revival now, even after the trials and judgement, Dante and Kai will have to be brought back. No matter what the cause....although...Sankakku I'm not so sure about you. Your sins may be too great."

Longtail smiled as he said, "Well then it looks like I'm staying behind then. If Sankakku can't get out, then I'll take his place and stay a spirit. Its the only way."

Longtail's father picked Pearl up off the floor as she was still crying hysterically and carried her back through the portal. As he reappeared on the other side he set her down and commented: "Pearl got a little emotional in the cave, and now she so distraught that she's losing body heat, we need to keep her warm everyone."

Back on the mainland, Rita walked up to Tyra.  "I don't know why...I just get the feeling Kai's not gone," she said.

"Really?" Tyra asked, a glimmer of hope

Dante looked at Soul, his eyes softening.  
"Is that really true?  Even... Even if I am judged to be a threat?"
He asked, hope clear in his voice...

Sankakku nodded at Soul.  
"I know that.  And as I said, I will face my punishment.  I've run away long enough."
Then he turned to look a Longtail.  
"You will do no such thing.  I will not bring your friends and the one who loves you any more pain.  I did that enough."
He said sternly, eyes firm...

Arius looked at them.
"I'm praying for all of you..."
He said quietly...

Vayne looked as Longtail's father out Pearl back from the portal. Without saying a word, he walked over to her, curling his tail around her to keep her warm...

"Longtail will be ok," Chomper tried to assure, but he could only hope he was right

Vayne nodded.
"We can hope so. From the little I saw of them, those three are strong enough that they will not disappear easily."
He said, looking towards the cave he knew the three were in...

"They will return safely, we must trust in them." - Cayso replied with a firm voice, trying to make his friends to cheer up, he then whispered to his brother - "it is just the waiting what is killing me."

Racnar looked at the island again - "I wonder if Doc survived the crash... but I don't think it is a good idea... to return to the island until ... Longtail and the others are back with us first." - The kid began taking deep breathes again, hoping he will not suffer another attack on his chest.

Soul smiled at Dante.
"Of course! Besides when the spell is finished there will be more good Guardians than bad ones anyway, and as of right now, you and Sankakku have been separated, and there is no way of knowing who Sankakku will end up in...or he may even get a body of his own!"

Longtail was now just lightly tapping his tail against the ground just waiting for someone to give him the signal to start the ritual...he was getting bored again.

~~~~

Longtail's father sighed as he knew Pearl would be okay for now.
He looked up and stated: "Thank you Vayne for your help." He then added "Don't worry...Dante Longtail and Kai are going to come back...they do have a plan after all."

Longtail's father tried hard not to laugh at their enthusiasm, as he said, "Well, that would be telling...wouldn't it?"

"Ok, ok," muttered Veli.  "Just, when do you think they'll be back?" asked Chomper

Racnar giggled at Longtail's father reply and said to Chomper and the others - "They'll be back when they are ready... I don't think we would get another answer."

Cayso nodded - "I agree, all of this day has been too weird, and I don't think we'll want a riddle... unless, you want it to tell it nevertheless, that would get us busy until the others can return." - As soon as he said that Cayso hoped he wouldn't made a mistake bvy saying those words, so he just smiled at the spirit.

Longtail's father grinned and said, "Well...I suppose I can tell you this much; when the time comes, there will be many, many more surprises than I'm sure you will be ready for."

Pearl groaned as she finally came to.
"Wha...what happened...where's...Longtail and the others?"

"Yeah....this sounds almost neat," Rita commented.


Aster smiled, and walked up to Tyra, who was still a bit sad.  "I'm sure you're friend Kai will come back somehow."

"Yes..." - Cayso replied to what Aster said "...everybody will return from this."

Racnar walked to where Aster is - "I want to thank you for helping me before the island crashed,... I may have not been... able to get far as the pain I have sometimes does not allow me to do much... at all."

"You're welcome, and don't mention it," Aster replied.  "But what is this pain you have anyway?"

Racnar sat down in front of Aster - "Well, basically, I've been sick since the day I hatched... what I have are attacks on my heart, mostly, that can last a few moments or almost an entire day." - the kid pauses for a bit - "My brother is the one who is the most stubborn in trying to find... a cure for my illness." - he then spoke very low, almost like a whisper - "if I am still alive, it is because of my brother."

Cayso did listen everything, but he was looking towards the island, giving the impression that he was not paying attention. He also sat down, waiting for something to happen, as he did his best effort to not shed a tear, for his own pain... to still not been able to cure his brother.

Longtail's father could see the distress in Cayso's face, even though he hid it very well. He then walked over and smiled as he whispered, "You know...we Guardians can cure  your little brother. All you had to do was ask. We are all powerful spirits after all."

Cayso's eyes were filled of pure surprise - "Is.. is that even possible?... everything on the island happened so fast, that I never had the time to.... to even imagine you could do that." - Cayso remained sitting as he tried to bring some order to his own thoughts, he finally looked at the spirit again. - "If you can really do this, please telll me how... if I have to do something, anything."

At that time, Racnar looked at his brother - "what is going on there?" - the kid thought as he were eating another leaf of the ones tied to his arms to calm down his pain.

"Whoa," the young rexes said, overhearing what Longtail's father said.  Could Racnar truly be cured?
