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

"What sort of cave is this?" Mim asked looking around curiously.

"You, you were, um..." Kit tried to answer Longtail, before giving it up, "nevermind".

"Uh, yeah, that be nice" the threehorn shot back, a bit sarcastically but still meaning what she said oddly enough, she did want to know, she'd just made up her mind it probably wouldn't be good.

"Are you babysitting?" Ducky asked, hoping to maybe have found one possibly answer.

"Not exactly you see well many year ago what beings called dinosaurs died out and until about a decade ago noone tried to bring them back to life that's how I got my tail I was trying to bring a velosouraptor what you would call a fastbitter I beleive when the experiement went horrible wrong, it was about 3 years after that when Mr Hammond came to me seeking some help I agreed and the safety procdures for being in the lab are now far greater than what they were anyway dinosours until a few years ago were not living,' frank said.

"What happened to all of them?"Diver said not happy with such a sad story.

"And what are your plans regarding them and us?" Mim asked not very trusting of what they said and such odd goings on of such unusual creatures.  

"Gosh." Chomper said, surprised at what he was told.

Longtail looked around the room, and frowned as he heard the story Frank was telling. He then looked up to Mim and waited to hear Franks reply.

Hammond now knowing that Longtail was going to be fine returned his attention back to the computer screens for a moment and was shocked to see another dinosaur almost identical to Mim walking around outside the entrance near the lake.
"Ummm...Frank did you happen to see any other dinosaurs while you were bringing the young ones inside?" he asked with an air of confusion.

Cyrix stopped near a small pond. He had to admit this place was beautiful, but he was beginning to believe he was the only one here...well aside from the sharptooth he knew was wandering around.
"I do hope there is someone here I can talk to, it is rather lonely around here." he said to himself.

"Why, what's going on" Henry came over to look at the computer screens as well.

Kit, Ducky, Petrie and Spike were all frowning worriedly. "Wait, dinosuars that would be us..." Littlefoot slowly tried to piece together what they'd been told. "A-are you trying to tell me that everyone else we know is...is...".

"...dead?!" Kit finished for him.

"Only those they haven't, somehow, brought back" Cera perceptively caught on. She frowned fiercely.

"Magic..." Ducky, Petrie and Kit wondered worriedly.

Kit heard Mim's question and frowned a bit as she looked thoughtful and answered, "probably had something to do with that big earthshake I remembered..." she pieced together that and then the strange surroundings, but even with the explanation such a thing as coming back from the dead was hard to fathom.

"So what, we're all just a bunch of...what you called experiments?!" Cera asked. "Why I oughta knock you into the next cold time!" she geared up but coudln't tell which of these humans to charge towards first.

"It does all sound rather ... unusual." Mim said, thinking some of what they said over and waiting to see what they would say next.

Longtail stepped in front of Cera and held out his wings, signaling her not to move.
"Wait a moment Cera, even if these...'humans' brought us back...they did help us by bringing us here, and they helped me as well. I say we trust them!"

Hammond looked away once more to face Mim as he stepped closer for a moment and asked a question.
"Excuse me...Uhh...do you happen to have a mate?"

Mim nodded, "I was wondering where he had gotten himself to.  Why are you holding him hostage?  Tied up somewhere?" Mim asked.

"That would be bad.  Maybe he is off visiting some others." Diver said.

Cera frowned even deeper at Longtail's words, yet didn't charge and instead just turned away form the humans, "Well alright, but if they turn on us I get to say I told you so first" she grumbled.

"Y-you probably did mean it to be nice" Kit said, hopping a bit closer. She frowned and looked to the others a bit before turning back to the humans.

"Um...did you bring back any of our parents?" she asked.

Peter looked thoughtful at the young one's question. "Well...we don't have many Pterdactyl...uh I mean flyers, about as of yet, still sort of growing the population from what I heard, but maybe I can look up the pen for you" he went over to another unused computer to scan about for the Pteradactyl pens.

"If they did, I'll help you beat them up" Cory told Mim as she asked about her mate. Littlefoot sighed, "Guys, we're not letting anyone beat up anyone" he told both Cera and Cory specifically.

"Cera violence only brings about more violence as a veteran of 4 human wars I know better than anyone here in this room,' frank said.

"Things have changed a lot I bet." Chomper said, choosing to not talk about fighting even though some others had.  He didn't like fighting.

Hammond couldn't help it as he began to laugh at Mim's statement.
"I don't mean to be rude...but no...*chuckle* He's just outside the pond where we brought you all in. I can open the door from here if you'd like." he said with a warm smile.

Cyrix took a drink form the pond and then sat down to admire the scenery. "This place is just like the Great Valley, I do wonder where it came from, and why I never heard about it before?" he said to himself

Hammond turned to Peter and said, "Check camera 12 for the Pterodactyl pens...just to save time."

Longtail still waited for an answer to Kit's question.

Peter nodded and checked over to the Pteradactyl pen. Once he scanned there he saw one lone...flyer, as the kids called her, off in a corner seeming to have built a barrier pen against the other flyers flying about.

Peter was confused but Petrie and Kit both answered. "It's my momma!" Petrie cried, rushing over to hug Kit in happiness. His cousin frowned though, "Why ya got her with sharptoothed flyers?!" she turned to Peter in shock.

The teen looked surprise. "S-sharptoothed...what are you talking about? Are you saying even with Pteradactl's there's a difference".

"Of course there's a difference!" Cory exclaimed. He sighed, "My gosh, if you guys don't even know anything...".

Littlefoot smiled, "Well they are just learning about us I think, maybe we could help teach them".

Peter smiled at the young one's backing up of him, "Ok but first off I think I should get down to that Pteradactyl pen and fix our little mistake. He shook his head, "Boy these dinosaurs are more confusing than I thought".

OOC: Hehe, yes I can back up what I just said :) In III the Pteradactyl's or whatever they are grab Eric (the kid) with a plain intent of dropping him off in the nest for the young before Billy saves him...so, I explained the discrepancy as best I could. Humans just can't tell the difference :DD

Mim nods, "It may be safest if he were in here then out there where it seems more dangerous with the sharpteeth running about.  Where there is one there may be others or soon may be."

"That sound certainly better then him roaming around out there." Diver said.

"Not every sharptooth is nice." Chomper said.

Mim looked at the screen where Petrie's mother was, "Maybe best if she is in here also." Mim said.

Hammond now realizing he had to multitask did just that as he pushed several buttons on the computer in front of him. "Okay, Peter I want you to head over to the Pterodactyl pen, and see if you can help Petrie's mother...it seems we've made a rather large mistake." he then turned to Henry and asked, "Would you be kind enough to show Mim's mate the way in...just so we know he's safe?"

Longtail turned to Hammond with a sly grin and said, "I wanna go with Peter. I'm bored and good fight sounds like just what I need."

Cyrix turned as he heard something beginning to move, but was rather surprised when it was the ground without having an earthshake. He stared at the door in amazement. "Oh my..this is interesting, but I must be cautious...this could be a sharptooth trap." he said to himself aloud.

Henry would have had more time to worry about Peter marching off the Pterodactyl pen, which apparently did house dangerous type flyers, if he hadn't next heard Hammon's call to him.

"Right away sir" he said, plus Peter wasn't completely alone as that other capable longtailed flyer said he was going and the other two little hatchling hopped after him as well.

"Oh, I'm taking the communicator" Peter said, showing the item still clipped to his belt, "Uh, unless you need it" he turned to his uncle. "After all, I have these three to talk for me" he indicated Longtail, Kit and Petrie.

"Good point, and it will save time" Henry said as he took the communicator. He looked at it and then shook his head, "and your mom said science 'wasn't your thing'" he comment half to himself as he walked off.

Peter smiled, "Alright, let's go" he said to the other three, who didn't seem to need much encouraging.

Henry meanwhile walked through the door closer to where Cyrix stood. "Um...hi" he said, "Uh, I think alot of everyone else you know, is that way, in the little cave that we would call a room, including someone named Mim, so...yeah, I promise we're not gonna hurt you or nothing, just found out we just met some friends of yours so I came to tell you where they were" Henry explained,

"Ok then" he started walking towards the door, "Shall we?".

~~~~

"Will we make it to the pen where the others are soon?" Kit asked, worried for her aunts safety. "In this we will" Peter answered as they walked over to a jeep, "Goes faster than one of those sharpteeth you know can run...a very good thing I think" Peter expalined, "Hop in".

He climbed in himself and helped lift the three flyers into the passenger seat. "Ok, just hang on" Peter directed before starting the jeep up and peeling out across the grassy lawn as fast as he could.

Petrie gripped what he could of leather nervously, still trying to understand the concept of this thing that went really fast without it being them running or flying. Kit looked half worried half intrigued.

"I do hope it doesn't take the others long to get back here." Mim said.  

"That would certainly be nice." Diver said nodding.  

"Maybe it'll be a quick trip there and back for everyone." Chomper said hoping the others would get back quickly also.
