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

Bill didn't need to be told twice as he swiftly reached the nearest window and after shooting it open jumped out into the air hoping Fox was coming 'round the building so he wouldn't hurt himself.

Jason at that very same moment reached the front door to the communication station and flipped up and into the cockpit of the Landmaster tank, and he couldn't help but laugh as he powered up the tank and after running a brief diaognostic showing all systems were green he punched the throttle and shot forward and immediately took several shots at passing enemy fighters.
"YEAH!!! Let's ride!" cried Jason with another smile and cocky grin

Kyrstal at that moment flew around the building as Bill landed on her left wing. "Hello Bill. I'm Krystal" Krystal smiled as she flew. "Niceto meet you. Now cover me. Your my wingman..
_ Foix provided coverfire as the defenders climbed into the Landmasters. "Lets drive these invaders out of Corneria" Fox said excitedly.

Bill smiled as he finally got to his feet and locked his magnetic boots onto the Arwing. "Yes Ma'am!" responded Bill as he unhooked the gattling gun off his shoulder and open fired at the enemy units. "This reminds me of my academy days! Just like old times...right Fox?" commented Bill as he turned around and shot down three more enemy fighters.

Jason smiled for a moment as he fired another shot from the Landmaster and brought two more fighters our of the sky. "Thanks for the cover Commander McCloud! I owe ya one!" he said with a prideful laugh

Bill chuckled nervously as he replied to Fox.
"Ahhh...actually Fox, Theresa and I broke up after we learned that Fay Spaniel is Jason's real mother...I may have forgotten to mention that the last time we talked." he then fired several more shots. He then laughed as he thought about Fay for a moment.
"I'll bet if Fay was here...she'd be so mad!"

Bill chuckled as he thought back to the day he met Fay.
"Well...right after she left your team Fox, she came to Katina looking for work designing the prototype Spider tanks, and that's where I met her. Heh...she promised me she could work any job I gave her...and she blew away my expectations.And after a bout three years of dating, she asked me to marry her...and I would have in a heartbeat, but the very next day Andross attacked Lylat and we were called to defend. And I only recently saw her again when she gave birth to Jason, and as soon as she was well enough she took off for Cornaria and I haven't seen her since."

Jason fired two more shots as he heard the conversation over his com.
"You talking about mom?" he asked Bill in a moment of confusion.

Will suddenly woke from his slight trance after hearing about the Landmaster. Everyone in the team - two members, but a team nonetheless - were already gone from the center.

Coming out to the balcony, he could see that the battle had ensued already.

"Commander, do you copy? I will take flight and cover you from above!" He communicated, running down in search of the Airwing.

Bill let loose another salvo of fire from his cannon and grinned as he received Will's message. "Alright Will just be careful and Jason cover his back!"

Jason thought about the question Fox asked him and he grinned.
"Are you kidding Commander McCloud, I see my mother every week!"

Bill at that moment stopped firing and shouted "WHAT?!"

Jason even through his headset gave a nervous laugh as he continued speaking. "Sorry dad, but mom gave me specific orders not to mention this to you...but she's been working at the academy for the last five months. And she recently got re-deployed to the Cornerian warp station above the planet. Chances are you passed her coming to see me."

Bill, you need  fay in your life again, Jason deserves a mother and father who are on speaking terms, if a relationship is impossible at this point.."

A fighter from above exploded in large fire clouds as an Airwing crossed them between.

"So, did you miss me?" Will mocked, performing a small loop and decreasing speed as he was over Jason's Landmaster. "I'll take the faster ones, you take the bigger ones down." He communicated, flying up.

---------

Albus strolled the main bridge of the new mother-ship. It was safe up above, where not even his own forces could reach.

However, a screen with the status of the battle was positioned in every hall, and Albus could barely look at them.

"How far is the Great one from being complete?" He asked through his helmet's communicator.

"Much, unfortunately. We are yet to complete the first tests on the main engine." Someone replied on the other side.

"Do as you can. We may have lost the battle, but we have not lost the war. In fact, they were remain with spoils of this battle in their city for a long time..."

Bill sighed as he knew Krystal was right. "Jason, your mother and I are going to have a liong talk about ourf situation when we get the chacne."

Jason replied to Will first.
"You got it! Just make sure I'm covered!" He then smiled as he heard Bills statement. "I'd like that dad. Mom does miss you, but she'd never admit it!"

Bill laughed as he replied to Fox.
"Don't worry about that McCloud, Fay and I will talk when we drive these guys off planet! Now let's give em a big Cornerian welcome!" He then once more open fired on the enemy fighters surrounding the air space.

"I see you guys are just cleaning up here, but mind if I grab a piece of the action?"
A female voice piped in over communications as an additional Cornerian fighter sped into sight.
"Hope you need the extra firepower!" she concluded, adding a quip of nervous laughter as she swerved to tail an enemy ship.

(Sorry it's not the best entry... I was too excited to keep waiting, haha.)

Bill continued to fire as he asked, "Who is this...identify yourself!" He then shot two more enemy fighters out of the air.

"The invasion seems to be thinning... but they're still charging on us!" Will said with cost, going through a tube of fighters, performing a loop afterwards and dropping a bomb.

Just before the explosion, Will accelerated at full power.

"Is there anyone we don't know on the radio? I'm catching more signals than I should."

"Whoops, sorry guys! Must've forgotten my manners."
The unidentified fighter eliminated its prey and pulled back for a moment.

"Name's Tessarey Leah, but that's kind of a mouthful. Most people just stick with Rey. But then some of you are Academy kids, so you might be familiar with 'Seabird.'"
She gave an unseen shrug and hastily avoided a bout of laser fire.

"Yikes! Anyway, things are looking pretty rough here, so I'll keep it short. A few of us back at the Academy were hot on your heels when you guys took off, but..."
She sighed and gave herself a little time, in which she managed to score a few hits on her assailant.

"Well, we found ourselves in a heap of trouble before we even went airborn. We fought them off in the end...."
Another silence in which, with a final strike, the enemy fighter at last met its fate.

"Eh, lets just say the Academy grounds aren't exactly as pretty as they used to be." Her forceful tone softened at that statement, but quickly resolved itself once more.

"There's still one heck of a fight left out here, though, so as soon as we secured the area I jumped back in the cockpit. Time waits for no one, right? I figured someone out here might need a hand, and darned if I was gonna leave 'em hanging."
