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

"I'm sure he'd rather eat, or dance with some other new friend he made here." Velma said.  

------

"There, done." Jason said.  "Now I have 2 morph sequences I can do.  A quiet more normal one, and a hopefully more intimidating one with some lighting arcing, an explosion and such." Jason said.  

"oooh, can I have a morpher now?" Guilmon asked.  

Jason sipped from his drink and though it over.  "I can give you a temporary one and make you one later if you really want one, but you can digivolve." Jason said.  "Though it could be handy." He said.

"I'm surprised Rime and Deimos can sing so well. Granted, Deimos's voice is really harsh but it fits well with the music he likes," Clive said, sipping a margarita.


Hossana meus
Fortuna deus
Protego causa
In sanctus

Aeternus praetor
Firmitas semper
Coryphaeus
Rex Regis univers


Rime's register deepened slightly, giving the lyrics an ethereal but powerful feel. At this point his voice was neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.

Several of the crowd simply stared with their mouths agape.

Deimos was in such a state of shock that he dropped his steel canteen, making a rather loud racket.

Ms. Swimmer poked her head out of the kitchen, which happened to be near Dixie and Cynder's table. "Who's singing?" she asked.

Haresh and Dr. Kerzach also came out of the kitchen and watched.

Dr. Kerzach's mouth fell open as he saw who was singing. "Is that Rime?" he asked.

[Prosay solis hosanna
Protego sanctus causa
Padre illuminata
Gloria in resurrectem

Prosay solis hosanna
Protego sanctus causa
Padre alluminata
Gloria in unum diem]


Terra tenebrae
Telluris malus
Quisere pere
Curiatus

Genitor edo
In ex domino
Patris illuminata
Rex Regis univers


At this point, the orchestra began to play even energetically in preparation for the utter climax. The incredible tension and energy in the air was nearly palpable.

[Prosay solis hosanna
Protego sanctus causa
Padre illuminata
Gloria in resurrectem

Prosay solis hosanna
Protego sanctus causa
Padre alluminata
Gloria in unum diem]


As the choir began chanting this section of the track, Rime began to hold a sustained vowel tone, slightly altering its pitch seemingly in tune with the choir.

Even more mouths dropped at the seemingly supernatural voice that Rime possessed. His singing was one thing but the eerie drone than came out of his mouth was another.

"S---, that's actually pretty f---ing creepy," Anton said.

"No s---," Deimos replied. "Ever hear a guy sing like that?"

come on Veemon said grabbing her by her arm, and dragging her along towards the ballroom.
-
The dragons of Kovot had a similar singing technique when you listened to them, you couldn't tell if the dragon singing was male or female " tarrax said  as he listened.."very impressive for a human male..
 Its Rime surprisingly" Dixie said " its almost scary the notes he can hit..

"Indeed.  Some normal, non powered humans can shatter high grade thin glass with their voices." Sara said.

Velma let herself be dragged to the ballroom.

Zachary chuckled. "Tarrax, you haven't noticed that Rime's not a Human? He's a dinosaur. A Troodon to be exact," he said.

"If you think Rime's good, you should listen to one of his friends," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"You mean Turanian?"

Dr. Zanasiu nodded.

Turanian was one of Rime's friends and a fellow Pelvanida guard. Though he was an ordinary Human, his vocal range was astounding.

Dinosaur , my mistake" Tarrax shrugged And I'd like to see how good his friend is too.. see if he can hit the high Fs with regularity.." he chuckled..
 Rant rou rit rhose rotes rixies/ Scooby asked  " Yes , Scooby, but I'm a girl, a soprano is supposed to hit the high notes. Guys ., not so much.. Dixie replied
 If I tried hitting those notes I'd blow my vocal cords out" spyro said.. What about you Stripetail, you know how to sing
 Spyro my dear fellow, my voice has always been in the low range, although in my youth i could hit some very high notes on occasion. Stripetail said  Rime has clearly been trained in the vocal exercises, and it is rare that a male can reach those notes without going fully into falsetto. this Turanian fellow should be brought over on your next visit.. see if the performance delivers on the reputation.. in the Aestorican scale there are 10 oactaves and keys  the key of J is the highest..

Rime finished and stepped offf the stage to thunderous applause.

"More! More! More!" The crowd chanted.

"I'd like to let other performers try," Rime said.

He then sat by the table and sipped some water.

Just then a tall and thin man sat next to him. "Nice singing Rime," he said.

Rime coughed as the man spoke. "Turanian!? How'd..."

"You know I don't like that name. Call me J.T. and come on, Private, can't a guy relax?"

Rime turned to everyone. "Everyone, this is my friend, Turanian or J.T."

 After he goes Stripetail you should give it a try.. Spyro said, as Nick came up to them..

Jason took out and fiddled with a space patrol type of morpher and handed it to Guilmon.  "here,  I removed the 1 hour limit.  Should last several hours at least.  Though likely before long after your morph you'll want or need to digivolve." He said.  

"Yay, now I can morph too." Guilmon said.  

Then they returned to finishing their meals.

J.T. bowed to Stripetail.

"Well, I guess I could try my hand at singing," he said.

He then stepped onto the stage and the spectral musicians looked at him.

"All right, I am going to try Amaranth by Nightwish.

The choir sank back into the ground and the metal ghosts returned. The orchestra stayed as well.

The track started with some gentle piano bars and then transitioned into a heavy electric guitar and drum section.

J.T. then began to sing.

Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself

War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give


True to Rime's boast, J.T. had an extremely clear and powerful voice - so powerful in fact that some wondered if the microphone was even needed. Much to everyone's shock, J.T. was actually capable of hitting the same register that the original singer (who was a woman) sang at. Like Rime, his highest singing voice seemed to be neither masculine nor feminine. Unlike Rime, whose voice was slightly airy and crystalline, J.T.'s voice was akin to that of an opera singer.

This time, no one could even eat or do anything for their eyes and ears were fixated on the unusually gifted singer in front of them.

Deimos dropped his canteen again. "I...I give up at explaining how Rime and J.T. have this seemingly supernatural singing talent. They're f---ing hitting registers that no male should be able to hit," he said.

"Hey, that's what 25 years of practice coupled with a hell of a lot of luck will get you," Zachary replied.

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

"Told you he was good," Rime said, nudging Dixie. He sipped a glass of water.

Stripetail smiledc as J.T  sang.  he certainly has lived up to his reputation. and you want me to follow that, spyro/ Spyro nodded wordlessly.. The old wizard shrugged " i have no idea what I'm going to sing..
_ Hes amazing Dixie said " i've never heard anyone sing like that.. its beautiful' she said, tears  were running down her face from listening to the beautiful music.
The singers of Kovot would bow to him as a brother, they'd welcome them into thier ranks in a second" tarrax said throughly impressed with J.T's talent..
 And they want me to follow him old friend ' stripetail cracked " Master , you are an excellent singer don't sell yourself short. "
 Teaching it is one thing , singing is another.. stripetail said.

stripetail took the stage and held a breif conversation with Matt ": any suggestiions for a song.. " Er how about Barcelona? Matt  repled it was the theme for the olympic games.. a ghost came up and handed Stripetail the lyrics. after reading the song a few times then he began to sing. From the moment the first note sounded, it became clear to everyone that not only was Stripetail gifted at magic, he was musically gifted too. "The Wind is a gentle breeze.. the bells are ringing out.." Stripetail's voice was pitch perfect, and his voice soared and thrilled as the song went on. Each word was clear and it was sung with the effortless ease and veteran tone of one who has studied the musical craft for many many years. Mixed with the music were magically created images floating to and fro adding to the experience of the listeners
_ Dixie was struck  wordless by his performance "I. I I can see why we have him judge our singing.. Spyro muttered to Cynder, who was listing raptly..
_
 my master, always has a certain flair about him" tarrax grinned as Stripetail reached the final high finishing notes... as he finished the magic illusions ended, and Stripetail took a deep drink of water  to soothe his throat. there was a brief silence around the room.

"He is very good indeed." Sara said.

---

Velma started dancing with Shaggy as best as she could.  

---

Finished he handed Guilmon something he could put on his upper arm to keep current temporary morpher there.

Then once they finished he got up and they started to head to where the ballroom was.
