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

Adrian nodded grimly.  
"Right.  Best be ready, then.  Whatever's coming...we'll kick it's butt."
He said, twirling his sword...

"Slippy, this is Emile from the White Fang.  Scanners pick up that the seismic actiivity in the area near where Fox and the others are is nearly...3.9 times higher than has been recorded in the last... three centuries.  Something big's happening.  All ships, brace for anything."
Emile's voice crackled over the comm line to Great Fox...

Bill was stunned. Literally stunned as he looked out past the window for the Great Fox and indeed saw an entire city beginning to rise from the depths of the ocean. "WOAH! This isn't just amazing... this is near impossible." he commented aloud over the communications network.

Jason felt the floor vibrating city around him and couldn't help but smile. This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen!" he commented to the others.

both falco and slippy were awestruck to see the city rising from the surface of the water. water streamed off the dome that covered the ruins, undersea growths flutrtered in the aquusian breeze

 well try finding five ancient magic staffs" Krystal said ' We've recovered 4, we just need to find the last one to complete the restoration."

Katt chuckled as her ship pulled up alongside the Great Fox, extending several docking clamps and connecting to the ship.
"Hey, boys.  Long time, no see."
Katt chuckled...

Katt chuckled.
"Oh, ha ha, Falco.  If you must know, the girls and I have been running peacekeeping missions for the Cornerian Army.  Disabling remnants of Andross' forces."
She smirked at him...

Katt stared at the image, her eyes widening a little.
"Wow...She's..."
She trailed off, jaw hanging slack slightly...

she is very pretty.. ' Falco said.. " but shes Fox's Girl,  Slippy and I know that.. umm why are you staring at the picture like that..have you never seen a vixen before, ois the image fuzzy.. whats going on, you normally never stop talking Katt" Falco grinned
 meanwhile the city hovered a few feet above the water. the four staffs alone wasn't enough to complete the ascension, they needed the Rose staff, the last, and by far the most powerful, of the staffs.

Katt shook her head a little.
"I...wasn't staring.  Just memorizing what she looks like, in case."S
She stammered a little, blushing under her fur...

Adrian looked around.
"We've stopped.  We're one staff short..."
He said quietly...

Adrian nodded.
"Right.  Should we start hunting for it, then?"
He asked, eyes flicking around the room...

Jason had a sudden look of shame cross his face as he lifted his rucksack off of his back and onto the floor. He opened the bag and began to rumage through it as if looking for something important. After a few more moments of searching he stood up and held in his hand the final staff. He then gave a short, almost child-like laugh as he spoke.
"Yeah... this is my fault. I found it a while back and at first it weighed like a ton... but after carrying it for such a long time I just sorta forgot I had it." He then handed the staff to Krystal with that same smile on his face.

~~~~~~~

Bill laughed at Katt's reaction. "I think Falco might have a point Katt, you usually have a lot to say." He then turned the image off of the holo screen as something caught his eye. "Well would you look at that!" he said with amazment as he could see the very top of the sunken city sitting just above the surface of the ocean. "I have to admit... this could be exciting." He said aloud.

well Jasoion you shoulkd have told us" Krystal said slifghtly rebuking him.  the staff glowed as she held it, then vibrated. " i guess this one must be in put in manually.' she said they reached the area where the other staffs were held there was an empty slot in the center for the rose staff and as the staff was slid it, a great burst of light shout out it and spread out over the area. the city began to move again..
_
The city began to rise again, this time is broioke fully clear of the water and continued rising.
_ theOmids apeared to them again.. The Evil is being driven out! We can feel it!
