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

Redclaw snarled and thrashed again, striking at the sharpbeak with his tail. He may have been at a severe disadvantage, but even in such a state he would not sit idly by as he was pierced.

Ichy got slightly hit by the tail, but nothing too serious. Alternating between tail dodging and stomach piercing, he was proving to be a big help.

""Go dad and mom!" Greg called from the sidelines

Ruby's brother cheered the others on, "You're doing great." He said.

"Depends how many are needed guarding these two..." Cree thought for a bit. "I'll go see what I can do, but call if you need help with these lackys" he said, flapping over to see how everything with Redclaw was doing even if he'd stopped thrashing.

"Um...I think you can stop pecking him now that he's down" Twiz called, flinching a bit, "after all, you don't want to get as mean as him or anything". Misty looked at him a bit in shock and he looked embarrassed, "I didn't say they were just that they shouldn't be".

"Really? I have to stop?" Ichy asked, as Dil bit into Redclaw's tail

"Maybe once we're sure they are all subdued." Ruby's father said.

"We'll take care of that," Amanda and her herd of sharpteeth said, whacking them in their heads with their tails.

Terri's gaze shifted for a moment as she noticed Amanda's herd joining the fun. She couldn't help but grin as she spoke.
"About time you showed up Amanda...what were you and your herd doing...taking a nap?!" she asked humorously as she continued to bite down on Redclaws neck.

Redclaw thrashed again, more out of fear and confusion than anything. He was being hit from all sides, and the only attacker that he had any kind of visual on was the huge sharptooth with her teeth in his neck.

Dil bit right into Redclaw's side, an effective move for sure.

"let's continue.  We seem to be succeeding." Ruby's father said, not entirely sure where this was going to lead.

Ichy kept pecking Redclaw, holes appearing in the rex's body

Redclaw thrashed again, trying desperately to wrest himself free and swat at Ichy with his tail.

The herd of flateeth helping out continued their barrage as well, yet Toot and the others soon noticed especially with Amanda's herd also helping, they weren't really needed so they stepped back a bit to let the other sharpteeth have at it more effectively.

As they watched their leader continue to go down, Screech and Thud jerked at the vines once more to try and feee themselves and help him.

"Now come on!" Thud cried, "We could'a killed you guys any number of times but didn't, is this really what a bit of bullying's gonna get us!"

Cree had Twiz translate then frowned. It was a point, at what point did they draw the line of who could and couldn't be reformed...well that depended on the sharpteeth he knew.

He flapped down a bit closer and looked at the two fast biters, "Everything you did was under orders..." he admitted. He thought a bit more, looked to Redclaw, shook his head and flapped back over to where Pterano was.

"There's not a power I know of that could make me let that sharptooth free!" he began, "but call me crazy, but...those fast biters might be redeemable, maybe". He glanced to Pterano, "What do you think?".

"You know...maybe we shouldn't harm Screech and Thud," Chomper asid suddenly. "Maybe they can change."

"Maybe, but who knows?" Ruby's brother said, not sure.

Twiz flapped down closer to where the fast biters were. "Would you guys promise to be nicer?" he asked in sharptooth.

Screech and Thud looked at eachother.

"Yeah, don't think..." Screech began sarcastically.

"Maybe" Thud cut in. Screech looked to him in shock. Thud was just trying to think through what their best option was here. The unthinkable had already happened and the sharpteeth and even flatteeth of the Mysterious Beyond banded together against them. They had to play every move smart from now on to end up out of this alive, and he hoped Screech and Redclaw could see that.

Rory and Myra looked at Thud, not sure whether or not to trust them.
