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

Ceela was engaged in a vicious hand to hand battle with a Scyther. She had survived multiple wounds that should have killed her thanks to the essential water's healing factor but even though she had torn off pieces of the Scyther with her claws and teeth, it still wouldn't give up. It was only after she gouged out its eyes - getting stabbed in the chest for it - that she was able to wrestle it to the ground and bite its head off.

"I think we're almost there!" Strut shouted. He stabbed an unsuspecting Galactic grunt to death.

"Don't get too cocky!" Rime shouted from the top floor. He used one of his few remaining bullets to kill a Machamp.

Anton, Paul, Dirk, Al, Jose, Zachary, Dr. Zanasiu and Kurt had long run out of ammunition and resorted to clubbing their foes with their weapons.

Ceela's dinosaurs resorted to either tearing their enemies apart with their teeth and claws or attacking them with whatever came to hand.

"Nick! Nani! Shaggy! Use your guns as melee weapons!" Zachary shouted. He quickly pivoted, slamming the butt of his rifle into a Galactic grunt's head, disorienting him for a bit. Another swing bought him to his knees. The final overhead swing killed him.

Meanwhile, one of Ceela's archers was attacking a Beedrill with a fire extinguisher. Another one of her grunts was literally tearing pieces off of an unlucky Raticate.

----------------------------------

Ms. Swimmer had used up all her charged stones. She had thrown them from the top floor at troops outside the building. She had killed all of them by doing so.

She now drew her well worn dual sticks and proceeded to head down the stairs. She ran into a Dragonstorm trooper armed with a large combat knife.

She deftly sidestepped his attempt to stab her, struck him in the wrist, breaking it and forcing him to drop his weapon. She followed that up with a swift backhand blow to the head, dazing him. The final blow was a brutal chokehold that she took to its final conclusion, dropping all her weight on the sticks and completely breaking the hapless trooper's neck.

Ceela grabbed the Beedrill attacking Nani and wrestled it to the ground. Two of her archers ran over and stomped it to death.

She was stung in the stomach but the healing factor got to work.

One of her archers was decapitated by a Scyther.

A couch thrown from the fourth floor by Dirk, Al and Jose crushed an unsuspecting Parasect and its trainer.

-------------------------------

Rime used his last rounds to kill all the Arcanine chasing Tai. He placed the rifle across his hack, drew his combat knife and waded into battle.

Sara sent more lightning at some opponents by flying into a cloud and doing a spell so the lightning had the power of a natural lightning bolt.

----

The stone golem that looked and sounded like the thing of the FF went at some enemy forces.  "It's Cloberin Time." The golem said, in a voice that sounded like the real thing's, right before he did his first punch.

------------

Jason used a slight bit of magic to pull out the birdorang from where he clothes & such went while he was morphed and threw it at some enemies, holding his red zeoranger combined weapon in his left hand.

Thanks" Tai said appreciatively as Rime saved their bacon.. ' Lets go see what the iothers are up to.
 Stitch had hurled ghimself into battle picking up lsaarge chunks of denruis and tossing them at the enemy Stitch could lift 3000 times his own weight which often came in handy.. " Jummba and Pleekly are going to be sad they m,issed all the action" he said after  killing some more foes with a weell placed throw of a laarge chunk of rebar..

Jason caught his birdorang and changing his position slightly he threw it at another small group of enemies.  

Odysseus used his bow to shoot some more enemies in the head, switching his position as quickly as he could so that pinpointing exactly where he was would be much harder.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the allied forces slowly began to take control of the convention center.

Ms. Swimmer killed the last Dragonstorm trooper by knocking him off the fifth floor railing. She had been stabbed multiple times but the healing factor was getting to work.

----------------------------------

"It's over," Ceela said. She had actually lost an eye battling a Beedrill but she was starting to regenerate.

"Yeah, let's get back to the base," Zachary added.

"Stripetail, this is Dr. Zanasiu, the convention center is under our control. Zanasiu out," D.r Zanasiu said. He was covered in dirt and blood, as was everyone else.

"Nick, Nani, Scooby, Shaggy, good job," Rime panted out. A Scyther's arm blade protruded from his leg but it gradually fell out as the healing factor got to work.

Nearly all of the 500+ SPVDF troopers, Sang-heili soldiers and Ceela's own archers had been killed in the intense battle.

Strut, Anton, Paul, Dirk, Al, Jose and Kurt were unconscious after a Parasect had hit them with a Stun Spore. It had been killed by Al just before he fell unconscious. Strut and the few surviving SPVDF and Sang-Heili troopers carried them to the waiting APC.

Mitch came up to them he was covered in blood and he  moved with a limp. " thank gawd thats over.. Captain milos is going to need a report from me..' he gasped, spitting up blood. he had been stabbed by a  beedril hard in the side.. he needed medical attention..
_ good, get back here so you can rearm and the injured can get treatment. Once you are rearmed you are to head back there, and start the process of taking over that side of the city.." Stripetail replied. 'We have made a opening, we must take advantage of it. good work everyone, I salute your efforts. The Cost has been high,but  the victory is what counts though. those who died deserve our respect and admiration. "
Ro re ran ret rourt rof rere?' Scooby panted, his paws stinging from Driving the mystery machine for so long. " For now' Came Stripetail's reply " ran ri rat reast ret riome rest?'
 FEw of us are going to get much sleep tonight Scooby. Dixie and the others are on their way.."
Dixie Tiger and Tigress soon Climbed in followed by genki tai agumon and Agumina.
 " Angel slowly drove Stitch's vehgile by the windshield had cracked in two, and therer were bullet marks all over it..
_ What you do to my car?' Stitch gaped 'Mesa built that thing to survive alien war! Angel frown " I'm not good driving ok!" She yelled, tears running down her face
' Now now you two, the car can be fixed' Nani said, looking at the car "Angel didn't do so bad for her first time..besides there were all sorts of creature shooting at and attacking us.. so cut her some slack..
 I could go for a huge pizza with peanut better chocolate syrup and all the trimmings" Shaggy said.
PEANUT BUTTER and CHOCOLATE SYRUP on pIZZA?' Dixie's face turned green. "you guys have to be kidding.."
_ Yeah that sounds nasty" Genki agreed " Cheese and pepperoni pizza , now thats the ticket.."
_
 I just want to get out of here" Gabumon said, his left arm hung limply at his side, it was broken..
_ I think most of us want to get out of here' Nick said his gun had been bent from him using it as a club..
 Agumina slumped on the backseat between Tigeress and Agumon. "I'm just glad thats over..
" Thats just the beginning, we've won a battle not the war, and our forces are growing very thin" tiger said gruffly " Tigers right, we had to have lost at least 4000 in the battle..."
 but how many of them did we kill> Thousands?Agumina asked." At least a couple thousand came spyro's reply and he and Cynder landed next to the mystery machine. Both of the young dragons were exhausted,  I don't think we could fly back to the base in our condition.." Cynder said.
_ Better make room in the back for them then " Tai said 'Moving over, as Sora and Biyomon came into view and made thier way into the mystery Machinre. When everyone was in, the back seat held Tai, Agumon Agumina Tiger Tigeress Spyro and Cynder, the Middle seats held Sora Biyomon Shaggy and Genki, and scooby and dixie occiupied the front seats ' Lets get out of here" Dixie said.. 'Rets rope re rave renough ras" scooby said as he slowlt began to drive towards the exit.
 Tarrax gaxed over the surroundings outside he had turned the area around the center into a smoking ruin, and had killed many enemies in the proocess  the sounds of battle inside had stopped. "Its time to report to my master" He said " you comg Sara?' he asked his partner who had landed next to him..

"I think after this we should spend some time recuperating & resting at the Eye of Orion.  Very peaceful place and a great place to rest due to all the positive ions present. " Jason said.

"Sounds like a great idea." Odysseus said.

"If we do I think I may like to take my family there also.  They've only been there once before." Brooklyn said.

"Once I've seen to any injuries any of us may have." Jason said.

""I just have some minor wounds." Brooklyn said.

"I only have a fatal head wound, it can wait till later." Odysseus said.  

"I guess most are injured, but not to badly." Guilmon said, having changed back to Guilmon once he was sure the fight was over.

-----------------

"Sure, if you're sure you don't want to rest a bit first." Sara said to Tarrax.

"All right follow us," Dr. Zanasiu said via the APC's radio. The Pelvanida Group and the surviving allied soldiers climbed aboard.

The APC rumbled as it drove over the debris and dead bodies on its way back to the Sang-Heili base.

-------------------------------------

Mr. Bigmouth poured himself another glass of "lemonade".

To his shock, several children were present and most of them appeared to be drinking beer or were actively drunk. What was worse was that quite a bit of them had assorted weapons - mostly smaller submachine guns.

"Damn it, when did kids start drinking?" he asked with a sigh.

Deimos downed another glass of beer. "Oh, about a month ago," he replied nonchalantly.

for goodness sakes man, get those drinks away from them! The last thing we need is drunk kids brandishing firearms!"Briggins replied, entering the scene. 'and i don't need to be written up for having underage drinking on my property..i'll have to have doug hide the alcohol from now on..' he shook his head..
- the rover followed behind, driving very slowly as their vehicle hasd been riddled with bullets, now and then gas gushed out of a few holes... ' we're not going to make it back at this rate' hunter grumbled, as he pressed down harder on the gas pedal..

Jason summoned his tardis since he saw all the fighting was totally over.  His friends then filed into his tardis and he and Guilmon then started to treat the various injuries with Odysseus helping somewhat also, his wound being treated last, except for numbing the area.

Mr. Bigmouth and Deimos managed to separate the children from their alcohol and firearms. Unfortunately, many of the children were quite intoxicated and cursed at the two or even tried to shoot them. Luckily, they were too intoxicated to actually use their weapons.

Deimos sighed as he poured the glasses of confiscated alcohol down the sink. "F--- man, who did this occur? I mean I never heard s--- like that come from the mouths of kids under the age of 13. Nor did I see kids get completely s---faced," he said.

"Considering how much you swear and drink; I am not surprised," Mr. Bigmouth replied, unloading and clearing the confiscated firearms. He groaned as he saw an 8 year-old Human boy light up a cigarette and pass the lighter to an even younger looking Hyena girl who was smoking what appeared to be a cigarette.

--------------------------------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu pulled into the Sang-Heili base just as the Mako armored transport truck did.

The armored truck was massively damaged but it was still rolling.

The trucker along with a mere three SPVDF troopers got out and staggered to the infirmary.

An armored towing vehicle pulled the truck into a nearby garage where the mechanics could work on it.

Two large transport planes landed at the airstrip of the Sang-Heili base.

Several platoons of heavily armed soldiers streamed out of one of them and assorted armored vehicles and supplies came out of the second one.

------------------------------

"Commander, two planes from Carson City Camp have arrived. We now have an extra 2,500 troops and some armored vehicles," a soldier said.

"All right! Now we can turn this war around!" Zachary said.

------------------------------

Deimos was keeping watch on the highest point of the hotel. He swore as he saw several armored vehicles and metallic soldiers in the distance and heading towards the hotel.

"He grabbed his radio. "Briggins! Get everyone mobilized! We've got a f---ing army heading this way! They'll be here in an hour at most!" he shouted into the radio.

The Enemy force consisted for 4000 metal sloldiers and about 3500 Dragonstorm forces . Chong had sent them to crush the Hotel's defenses once and for all.. He had noticed the reinforcenments and had swore terribly.. The force advantage they now held was down to about 7 to 1, and was dropping.. " How in the blazes can we not finish them off?' he said looking at his viewing orb.. " Those forces had better destroy the hotel, or I will kill any survivors..
