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

Ichy began flying through the caves.

"So, what's your plan against Redclaw Teeri?" Amanda asked

"Yeah, be careful!" Ruby's Sister echoed her brother.
"Don't worry! You all stay safe as well!" Ruby's mom called as she waved back to her family, and then continued to follow Ichy.

Ichy's nose began to act up. "I think I can smell....I think it's some spiketails, and maybe a yellow belly or two," he said, concentrating on the scents

Pterano smiled at the idea Cree had thrown out. He gave a short laugh and declared, "Well, if everyone is sure about this, then I say we go and give whatever help we can!"

~~~~~~~~~

Terri sighed as she spoke, "Well, uhhh...in order to stop Redclaw once and for all, we were going to team up with the leafeaters here in the Mysterious Beyond, and fight him.  know the plan sounds crazy, but we believe its the only way, which is why we have those fast biters in our group." She paused to look back at her son and smiled as she turned and asked, "Well, what do you think? Or should we come up with another idea?"

Cree smiled and shrugged, "Well the only thing I've figured out I'm sure about is that i want Redclaw off my tailbone" he said.

"Same here" Ridge nodded, before smirking, "Not that my tail isn't something to be dealt with in itself" he swung the spiked appendage harmlessly.

Cree couldn't help the funny picture of Ridge jabbing one of those fast biter lackeys with it, even as he turned to the others, "Well then, I guess I'll be the messenger to go tell them the news, since I know where we last left the herd of revolters I think...and no this time I wont' be falling" he told Pterano before his brother could cut in.

"Just, watch the herd" he said before flapping up and out of the cave.

"He certainly has always been impulsive" Aqua commented on the flyer.

Deon sat down, not sure what to do next.  Blue-eyes did likewise for much of the same reasons.

"I think it's a good idea mom," Chomper smiled back.

"And me and the rest of these rexes will gladly help," added Amanda

Cree flapped on, scanning about for anything of the others he had left, when he spotted a familiar Bellydragger.

"Ah, there you are" Cree darted over with a smile, "Um...so...that offer earlier of perhaps our helping with this whole Redclaw thing, well we had to sort of let that idea sink in, but now that we have...did you still need help with that whole rebellion movement?" Cree asked.

OOC: Ok, I've been debating Twiz coming in here...and I found a purpose for him in bugging Cree :lol, who for said purposes doesn't know who Twiz is aka his connection to Kit in the Valley, otherwise he'd just drop the kid there, but GVG if Pterano wants to secretly know about it I don't care either way before you ask)

Cree smiled and went to answer before he was all but rammed into by a flying blur. When he glanced down he noticed a stunned little sharptoothed flyer with two of his teeth looking up at him shocked.

Flyer or not, the other descirption of dietary habits had Cree nervous (despite the irony of his now talking with a Bellydragger) and he frowned, but before he could talk to the kid, Twiz leapt up looking relieved. "Oh thank goodness, another flyer! I lost my herd and I think Redclaws getting closer, can I stay with you so you can beat him up".

Cree frowned, pushing the kid back, "No" he said simply, then turned to Dil once more, "Sorry, as I was saying then me and my herd are...".

"Oh please sir!" Twiz clung to Cree's leg. Cree frowned annoyed, lifting his foot, "Kid, I'm a weak flattoothed flyer, now beat it!" he said.

"That doesn't bother me" Twiz answered, yet didn't go into why it didn't bother him.

"Oh please sir...!" he began to go on. "Ok" Cree grit his beak and gently but still clamped a wing around the little one's to stop his rambling, "If you'll not attract the big bullying sharptooth by yelling, you can stay ten feet from me".

"Oh thankyou!" Twiz clung to Cree once more.

"Leech aside" Cree turned back to Dil, "like I said, my herd and I are here to help then".

~~~~

All this commotion had brought Misty over to peer out curiously. "What is it that is making the noise that is so hearable?" Ruby asked. The egg-snatcher smiled, somehow liking this little Twiz already from his antics, "Two funny flyers" she answered, "and I think Greg's mom is talking to one of them about helping us!".

"Yeah, she is," Greg smiled. "My mom's a fighter."

"Flyers can easily to scouting and deliver messages safer then non flyers." Blue-eyes said thinking of some advantages to having flyers help them.

"Can you tell where the scent is coming from, Ichy?" Ruby's mom asked.

"From that part of the cave," Ichy replied, flying ahead. Whatever spiketail he was smelling, the scent was pretty close

"I don't think she said your mom was beating up the flyers" Misty told Greg with a smile. She turned back to the conversation the other adults were having with the flyers though.

~~~~

Cree nodded, hearing Blue-eyes comment but not knowing him enough to speak yet. Twiz wasn't hindered by that though. "Oh yeah, we could, and I'd help Mr. Cree here scout too" the boy offered with a smile.

~~~~

(OOC: Ok, we'll just have it be the group with Pterano, like we semi-discussed Brek, even if it is overkill with Cree already talking to Dil, but then that makes it kinda funny :DD)

Ridge heard a noise behind him it seemed, and turned nervously, "W-what was that?" he asked. Toot narrowed his eyes, "I don't know, but if it aint friendly it's gonna have to deal with me!" he said.

Ichy flew over and soon came into Toot and Ridge's view. "Here some other dinos are!" he called to Ruby's mom.

~~~~~~~~

"Whoops, misunderstood," Greg laughed

Pterano turned to face Aqua and said, "Well...he is my brother."
However his next surprise was to Ichy's arrival and he turned as asked, "I'm sorry, but who are you? I'm assuming you're with the other herd going to fight Redclaw right?"

Pterano then turned to face his brother who was still in eye sight, and noticed another flyer clinging to his brothers foot. He immediately smiled as he recognized Twiz. But seeing his brother being annoyed by another flyer other than himself was rather amusing, and Pterano was content to watch.

~~~~~~

Terri smiled happily at her old friend.
"Thank you for the help Amanda, we could certainly use it." she commented.

~~~~

Pearl finally being woken from her nap yawned and asked as she stepped outside.
"What's going on guys?"

Toot frowned at the sharp beak's way of saying he had found them. "Of course we're dinosaurs, what'd ya think you...".

Pterano interrupted him and he was about to tell him off for this before he remembered they had technically let him be the leader again...Toot had been in charge for so long this was going to take some getting use to the one horn realized.

The other flyer looked distracted now though, so Toot continued the conversation.

"Uh, yes, ironically we just sent one of our other flyers out to offer our services" he told Ichy and the fast runner with him, "you'll forgive my asking though...but with something as I hear this will be, a fighting Redclaw, how many supporters do you currently have?". They would need enough to stand up to Redclaw in the first place, Toot knew.

~~~~

Misty laughed and turned to Pearl, "There's a flyer that came over to offer support of him and his herd apparently, but..." she hid a giggle, "this little flyer about our age" she indicated the other young ones about, "is bugging him apparently, and it's kinda amusing".

Blue-eyes sits down, leaning against the wall and putting his hands behind his head.
