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

Setsuna triggered a grenade trap that killed one of the enemy troopers.

An enemy soldier took aim at Nick. Another soldier took aim at Nani.

Mr. Bigmouth reloaded his rifle and shot another soldier.

Rime had run out of ammunition and was using Deimos's sniper rifle. Deimos, however, was keeping an eye out for threats.

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

"Shaggy! Some ammo!" Zachary shouted.

Al slid more shells into his shotgun while Strut guarded him.

Mr. Bigmouth shot the last soldier. "Setsuna!" he barked. "Scan for shielding!"

Setsuna closed her eyes and used detection. "There! It's behind that door but the door itself is shielded!" she said, pointing to a heavy steel door at the far end of the building.

So how are we going to break though that shield?' Nick pondered " I mean we need to disable that thing, and quickly..so we can free the townsfolk and move on to our next target..'
 Why don't we just blast the door down? Tiger said' "Because" Hunter(the Rover) said ' Its shielded too. Unless you have very powerful magic on you.. We don't know if thats a magical shield, designed to prevent against magical attacks.."
Any ideas Satsuna? Nani asked as she expelled all the empty casings from her rifle..

Setsuna used a combination of magic bomb and fireball. All the explosions simply spattered off the shielded door without damaging it.

Mr. Bigmouth held his chin in thought. "We're in a factory. We can simply try to find something like a torch and cut through the door or we can use explosives to demolish it."

Deimos came out of his sniping location. "There may be some explosives in the Mako truck; I'll go get them."

 Do you want us to have a crack at it? Dixie asked him " that's Stripetail's call, I'd think "Nick replied " and well, lets try the explosives first before letting you guys try your paws at it..' He shrugged..

Deimos returned with a satchel full of small explosive charges. He then stuck them to the door and wired them up to a detonator.

He reeled out the wire to a detonator placed behind a piece of heavy machinery.

"Fire in the hole!" he shouted before detonating the explosives.

The explosion echoed around the building.

When the dust settled, the door and part of the wall was gone. There was tall black cylinder wreathed in a blue glow in the room.

"That seems to be the source for the shield. The shield is very strong. It seems none of our weapons or my spells will damage it. But it can be penetrated by slow objects," Setsuna said, sweeping the area with her magic.

 I don't think my magic will work on it.; Spyro admitted..
 Scooby tried his ring.. all the shield did was dissipate the fireball " Rok, rhat ridn't rork " he muttered

Sara and some others were walking around outside guarding the entrance and making sure no enemy troops got close.

Deimos picked up a chunk of concrete and threw it at the shimmering blue barrier. It penetrated the barrier and pinged off the armored housing of the generator.

"Hmm, we may be able to walk through it and plant explosives," he said.

"But how do you know the radiation inside the shield won't kill us?" Mr. Bigmouth countered.

Why don't we have Scooby and the others with magical armor do it? Nick suggested " the magic should protect them from any exposure.. its protected them from explosives and mustard gas, it should do the same from radiation. They go in, set the explosives then you detonate them from a safe distance after we're all clear.. Hows that for an idea..
- "How many explosives will we need? agumina said having de-digivolved back to her normal size.. "Enough for each of us to plant a few I'd think..
_ Not all of us are going though Cunder said. ' just the ones with two legs and arms..."

Mr. Bigmouth nodded. "That'll work."

He then turned to Deimos. "Deimos, fetch the explosives," he ordered.

Deimos nodded and headed out to the truck.

After a few minutes, he returned with a satchel charge. "All right, just place this bag next to the generator. There are two wires attached to it. Unreel those wires outside the building and hook them up to the detonator box. It's in Mr. Bigmouth's messenger bag."

"Everyone else, clear the building!" Mr. Bigmouth barked.

The others began to file out of the building while Deimos showed Dixie and Scooby how to lay the satchel charge and unreel the wire.

Jason and the others started to help others to get away from the building where the explosives were going to be set soon.  

"I hope they do not use to much or to little." Moran said.  "They may not have had time to do an estimation of the needed amount of explosives."

Dixie and Scooby entered the portal set down the explosives and slowly began to roll out the wire it took a few minutes to do this as both of them were very cautious in laying down the wire, neither of them wanterd to do anything that might  cause the explosives to go off early. "Rust reep roing rowly Rixie " scooby said bnervously though his helmet.. ' We're almost there " dixie replied as they exited the building and reached the detonator Box. Dixie hooked up her wire. Scooby hooked up His. " alright , its hooked up, now lets blow that thing up and head to the next town! Dixie said " Mr Bigmouth, care to do the honors?' dixie asked..

(OOC - Assume that Zachary's squad was in another part of the shield generator room.)

"You set off the explosives," Deimos said, handing the box to Mr. Bigmouth. "I've got to talk to Stripetail."

Everyone else was waiting by the Mako truck.

Deimos then disappeared into the truck.

Mr. Bigmouth nodded and looked around to make sure everyone was clear. He then turned the key and flipped up a toggle switch. After checking around he counted down from ten then pressed and held the red button. A few seconds later, a massive explosion was heard as the generator was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

He then disconnected the wires and placed the box back in his bag. "All right, where to now?"

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

Inside the town of Sunberry, the town hall had been converted to a command for Chong's forces.

"Commander!" the Whiptail Lizard said. "Telemetry readings show that one of the shield generators in Cobia Bay has been destroyed!"

"No need to worry," a technician replied. "The shield is designed to retain nearly 50% of its integrity even with two generators destroyed."

keep an eye on it Chong replied : if the enemy has control of the town, then so be it. Cobia Bay will be a minor loss they'll have to come to us after all.  And the more they do the better for us..
 Stripetail's radoio buzzed " Alright, how goes the final assault? Stripetail asked.. The Shield is still up there must be more than one generator.. find the others and destroy them.."

"Perhaps a spell can pinpoint where the generators for the shield is." Sara said.

"It should, if there is anything feeding power to maintain the shield it will be traceable back to the source." Jason said.

"We have destroyed one shield but we are unsure of where the other ones are located," Deimos said.

Mr. Bigmouth nodded as he received a radio transmission. "Just got word from one of the squads I sent up to the Bluefin District. They found a house showing high levels of magical emissions. I think that's where one of the generators is located. Captain Milos has dispatched a squad of our metallic troops to destroy another shield generator located in Parrotfish Square."

Deimos nodded and activated his radio. "Stripetail, were are heading southwest to the Bluefin District - the rich part of Cobia Bay. Captain Milos sent a squad of metal soldiers to take care of a shield generator in Parrotfish Square. Deimos out."

"All right, let's rock," Dr. Zanasiu said, climbing into the truck.

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

Ms. Swimmer, Hans, Werner, Clive and Franz finished up counting the money.

"Should we get ready to help prepare dinner?" Ms. Swimmer asked, looking out the window. It was nearly dusk.

Clive shook his head. "They'll probably have to eat crappy precooked meals because they're in active combat."

Meanwhile, the new recruits arrived now at Ft. Inglorious and were awaiting orders.

_ Good, then we'll need to find the fourth and last of the shields. Once thats taken care of , the control over the town should dissipate..."

- Reah Ri'm Runry..'
 Genki came up to them " I've got a couple of gronala bars  I swiped from the breakfast buffet this morning..' He said with a smirk..

"We can warp back to Ft. Inglorious to eat dinner," Mr. Bigmouth said, reloading his rifle from an ammunition box in the back of the truck.

"One problem, that takes too long," Rime said. He too was reloading his rifle.

"What about teleporting prepared meals here?" a Vulpine soldier suggested.

Everyone looked at Setsuna.
