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

"What?!" Mikoto exclaimed as Killeroh sank it failed its arms about, though it remainded silent.

"Human, we can't move!" Topgaler said through the Dino Minder.

"Then I suppose the only thing we can do is retreat..." Mikoto sighed. The half-sunken Killeroh faded out of sight.

"He's down! Let's move!" Deimos shouted.

The group, minus Strut, then rushed over to Mikoto's form. Strut ran back inside to fetch some cable ties.

Deimos aimed his pistol at Mikoto's head. "Don't move."

Zachary pinned Mikoto down, pressing his knee into Mikoto's stomach.

Velma picked up some rope the tourist had dropped and tried to tie up the stranger.  Not sure who he was or what was going on.  

[cencored] I didn't get to eat anyone. Sam telegraphically sent out.

"Maybe next time." Odysseus said.  

The Tourist did is best to relax and concentrate and returned to normal slowly, putting the dragon pearl away into a pocket once it had shrunk back down to it's small size.  

I think I may take up his offer one day. The Tourist thought to himself, thinking of an offer a certain imperial emperor had made him, saying he was not to answer till after his 12th regeneration had passed.

Sam shook her head still not to happy with how things turned out.   and I missed all the fun too.  She sent out.  

"There'll be plenty more fun in the future." The Tourist said.   "and perhaps even foes for you to eat." He said.  

"as long as I don't have to see it." Sara said making a yuk face.

The Tourist looked at his friends. "I need a vacation." He said.

You're not the only one. Sam sent out telepathically.  

Brooklyn crossed his arms, "She's right, you're not the only one." He said.

"Like some time in the imperial gardens." Sara said remembering what they were like.  

"I think I may visit there, after some time soaking in the imperial family hot tub." The Tourist said.  

"I'd like to see those gardens." Velma said.

"You can be my personal guest." The Tourist said looking at Velma.  "Since we're not needed here." The Tourist said, taking out a tiny communicator and speaking into it. "Set co-ordinates for my personal residence in the imperial palace of Korodos." The Tourist said, he heard the affermative response from the tardis.

--------

The Green Ghost was looking out of a window.  "Looks like another case solved.  He was behind it all.  At least good won out in the end, and that is all that counts." He said then looked at Hawkmon, "well, guess that means time for us to go home." He said then activated the digi-portal generator and went back to their home in the digital world.

Merlin gestured and caused the tardis to reappear. he was starting to become Angry. "This hotel is not even close to being purified.. and I'm ashamed of you all! Everyone that can helkp is needed here, there have been several attempts to solve the curse, over the years. None of them have worked so far,, But never before have so many guests been available to begin the search.. My friends" Merlin said to Sara, Velma and the Tourist. "YOU ARE NOT LEAVING! Not until this hotel is cleaned  of the curse and restored to its former glory! Now get inside inside>' While Merlin was not the magician he was in his youth, he still was a formidable magician in his old age..

"I know nothing about purifying stuff.  That is a god thing.  I can ask Herakles, he may know."

"I can ask Athena. I'm sure she would know." Odysseus said.

"No one in my clan knows magic.  The only magician we had was Demona and she only knows black magic." Brooklyn said.  

 I've no ideas.  The human bearly can remember bits of his past before his capture by Veloci.  Though I would have loved to see the look on his face as his base and his men and himself were phased and out put into a permanent timeloop." Sam said.

"I doubt he had much of a look on his face, after I shot him in the back.  He didn't know that I can still act even when my neck is severed in 2 by his teeth." Odeysseus said.

"I don't know anything about magic." Velma said.

"Breaking curses is my uncle's line of interest. I can ask him to pop along here, as for magic, I'm sure I can find an elf who can teach you some magic." Sara said.

"Or I can ask a naga.  They may know of some types you can easily learn." The Tourist said to Velma.

'Quit trying to find excuses, the Man in white will give each of you some of his power' Merlin said opening the door. "Besides Lady Sara, your dragon friend is coming here in a manner of minutes>. He smiled at Sara. Merlin was legendary for his ability to see into the future, while this skill was not  as strong as it used to be, he still had the gift.." Come on, my dears.. "

"Get the powers of evil, no thanks, sounds icky anyway."  Sara said.

"Never a wise thing to do.  I've seen it go wrong many times." Odysseus said.

"You can try but if I have to I"ll just regenerate and remove it, I've not regenerated yet so I have the full 12 left. I'll not be corrupt." He turned to Odysseus, "You know what to do if I do get corrupt." The tourist said to Odysseus who nodded.

"I can see what power does to someone, how it effected some that I've known before, Demona,  Xanatos, Fox, and others." Brooklyn said crossing his arms.

You were dealing with very dark magic then" Merlin replied.. "I think we'll strip him  of his powers , but not dsubject you to them.." He sighed.. "  You have abilities. Bedwyr, you are thousands of years old, you have knowledge that no mortal being posesses, Brookyln, you can fly, you have claws, and you managed to get back thrugh the Phoenix gate, with my friend's help. You all bring something to the table.  Have a drink of my wine, I apologize if it is a bit strong, but I like the taste of strong wine.." Hevgestured and a jug of wine appeared on a nearby table..

"Yea, like my curse will help any.  I can't die, don't age, and heal at the rate of every other human around, that won't do much good here." Odysseus said.  

"I'm way out of my league here.  I'm a scientist & doctor.  Those are useless here and may feeble apprentice level dragon magic is less then useless unless a candle needs to be lit or some food or drink made a few degrees colder or warmer."

"I can't even fly, just sorta glide.  I don't know nothing bou no curses, nor ghosts.  Nothing I can do here." Brooklyn said.

"I way out of my league here.  I can only handle fake monsters and ghosts, not real ones." Velma said.

I'm of no use here, and the human is less then useless. Sam telepathically sent.

"This sort of thing is more in my uncle's line of expertise, way out of my knowledge or ability." Sara said.

Will ALL of you STOP COMPLAINING? came a strong male voice from the doorway. In stride a large dragon, ten feet in height, and he looked put out. "Which of you is called Sara?' He asked.  He glared at Odyseuess. "My master has told me much about you king of Ithica. You spent decades trying to get home to your wife and son, and braved the worst the ancient gods could throw at you..that man was a great man, who despite his mortality, inspired even the gods.. Now you're a scentist, you has een the advancement of science over the centuries. Your knowledge is needed here. Ghosts leave ectoplasm, which can be studied.." Tarrax said, if it was he..
