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

Life in the Mysterious Beyond

Twiz flapped up, pulling vines with him as he tried to secure Screech's snout. The fast biter awoke though and gave a roar of annoyance, snapping out at the little flyer and breaking the one vine wrapped about his jaw.

"Hey!" Cree darted in and pecked him, "let's leave the kids alone", he had vines in his own feet and quickly wrapped these over Screech's snout and pulled, Twiz flying back down to help him. Screech continued to wiggle, but found that his snout at least was clamped shut, stopping any protest.

Thud, also awake, was actually getting a bit worried as he felt the vines successfully tying him up too, yet then he found a footing and was able to stand, thrashing about as he did so. It would snap the vines in a matter of moments if he was given enough opportunity.

Meanwhile, Ridge the spiketail and Toot the one horn rushed in on the sides to inflict wounds where Redclaw wasn't held down by Terri before darting out again and coming in again.

"That's it! In and out" Toot smirked, "it's how his precious fast biters fight".

Ruby's brother tried to jump on Thud and tried to claw & bite him.  

Ruby's father tried to pull up one of Redclaw's legs so he could not move it to get it under him.

True to her word Terri had her mouth around Redclaws throat and was holding him down with one of her feet making sure he moved as little as possible until Screech and Thud had been taken care of.

Pterano had tried to tie up Thud several times, but now it seemed with help he was finally being subdued. He smiled as he pulled on another vine and the vine responded by tightening around his legs and forcing the fastbiter to fall on his side.
"Yes! We really can do this if we work together!" he cried, almost too happy to see this plan working so well.

Chomper and Rita bit Screech and Thud on the feet, making it hard for them to stand. "You're going down!" they said.

Dil ran over to Terri, and climbed onto Redclaw, helping Terri hold im down. "You aren't getting away! she roared.

With a final roar of annoyance at this rebel group's abilities, Thud tried to shake off the runner. "That is not a kind action that is nice!" Ruby all but scolded the fast biter as she leapt in to help her brother.

"Jump" she instructed him though, and gently nudged him to the side as Thud fell true to his name straight onto the ground from Pterano tying up his feet.

Screech followed as Cree looped a vine about the other fast biter's feet and pulled him down. "Ha, he so went down faster than yours did" he half gloated to Pterano, mainly just being glad the plan was working.

Sceech and Thud whined their annoyance through their now tightly clamped snouts.

"They seem to be done." Ruby's brother said stepping back from the tied up fastbiters.

Terri was now having a far harder time at keeping Redclaw in place...he was almost as big as she was and he wasn't happy...and he showed it by struggling against this with all his strength.
"Redclaw is...stronger than I thought!" commented Terri through gritted teeth

Ruby's father struggled to try to keep Redclaw from getting his foot under him, grunting with the effort.  

"Looks like we'll need more help here & soon." He said.

Redclaw had had a rude awakening, and though he didn't quite understand what was going on, that didn't help matters much. The large sharptooth was thrashing violently, whipping his tail about in a fury.

Screech and Thud continued to struggle as well, they had to get these vines off and help Redclaw.

Cree kept an eye on them, "Ah, none of that!" he said. The fast biters screeched back as much of an answer as they could with tied up muzzles.

"Yea, just lay still and things will go easier." Ruby's brother said to the fastbiters.

Screech and Thud gave a very loud muffled roar at that and tried to stand once more, yet paused halfway through and decided that maybe they should play it safe and decide how to avoid being attacked more before they did something foolish.

On Thud's more or less cue, they stopped struggling too much and just thought...how were they going to get past these flatteeth and weak sharpteeth?

Terri bit down as hard as she could, and now tasted blood....Redclaws' blood. For a moment she felt sickened by tasting another sharptooths' blood but at the same time...it was exhialrating...to know that they as a group were bringing down the most feared sharptooth in the entire Mysterious Beyond.
"Keep still Redclaw or I will break your neck!" she threatened through her teeth.

Pterano smiled, as he kept watch over Screech and Thud as well. He looked over and frowned though as he said, "It would seem they need help in holding Redclaw to the ground...should we go and lend a wing?" he asked no one in particular.

Ruby's father did his best to try to keep Redclaw's leg he was holding from him getting it under him, grunting at some of the efforts.

"We still need some to guard these 2 in case they get to trying to get free again." Ruby's brother said.

Dil bit down on Redclaw's feat. "Take that!" she roared.

Redclaw roared, thrashed once more in pain, and then lay still. He desperately searched for a way out, but found none. For the moment, he was trapped.

Terri smiled wide even with Redclaws neck in her mouth as she said,
"I think it's over! I'm not letting go just yet, but he's stopped fighting us...so I believe it's safe to say we just won!"

Ichy began pecking hard into Redclaw's stomach, creating multiple holes in it.
