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

Journey to the Island

Another Chapter, Another Character. This time it's someone that wont be very friendly in other chapters.. Any Goof-ups let me know :)


Ichy and Chomper find the Stinky Flowers and go to take them back to Strut, but then they hear something lurking in the jungle.. Meanwhile, Ozzy and Pino wait for Ichy and Chomper. while their waiting, Ozzy and Pino talk.. kinda..



Chapter 15: Something lurking..
Ichy tried not to breath in the stinky smell of the flowers as he carried them in his feet, but to no avail. He wondered how such awfull smelling things could exist..

Chomper stopped for a moment and looked around, he thought he heard a growl. Then he looked up and saw Ichy was still flying. "Ichy, Stop!" Chomper said, Ichy landed on a treebranch and looked at Chomper. "What's wrong?" ichy asked a little too loud. "Shh!" Chomper replied. Chomper went over to the tree Ichy was on. "Listen." Chomper said, Ichy listened but did not hear anything. "What am i listening to?" Ichy asked. Then Ichy heard a growl coming from nearby.. "Do you see anything from up there?" Chomper asked. "No." Ichy said. He looked around to see if he could see anything, then he saw something moving between the trees. "Yes!" Ichy said with a shakey voice. "Stand perfectly still." Chomper said. Ichy stood frozen, staring at the area where he saw the movement. He heard another growl and closed his eyes tight. "Do you see it?" Chomper asked. Ichy openned one eye and saw a sharptooth staring at him from a distence.. "Yes!" Ichy yelped, tightening his eyes again. Chomper peaked around the tree and saw the same sharptooth. "It's Acro!" Chomper whispered to himself, He looked back up at Ichy and said. "Dont move! Acro has trouble seeing." Chomper said.. "Reminds me of Dil." Ichy thought to himself. Chomper peaked around the tree again and did not see Acro anywhere.. "Okay, i think he's gone." Chomper said. Ichy openned his eyes and looked down at Chomper. "Who was that?" Ichy asked. "That was Acro, he doesn't see to good." Chomper said, looking up at Ichy. "Why is that?" Ichy said, folding his wings. "I think he got both of his eyes scratched by a flyer." Chomper said, looking in the direction Acro was in.. "That flyer didn't live i dont think.."




Pino went over to Strut to see how he was doing, he had finally stopped caughing when Chomper and Ichy left but he was still not feeling good. Pino went back over to Ozzy and said. "He stopped caughing." Pino said with a smile, Ozzy only nodded. He didn't really trust Pino, seeing as how she was another sharptooth. And letting Chomper go to get the Stinky Flowers, that didn't help one bit..

"I heard you wanted revenge against Chomper.." Pino said, looking down at her feet. "And how did you know that?" Ozzy said, looking at Pino with a questioning look. "Ichy told me." Pino said, remembering Ichy's words. He told her it wasn't Chomper he wanted revenge against which made her sad. "Why did i believe him?" Pino thought to herself. "He did, did he?" Ozzy said with a dry tone. Pino looked up at Ozzy and nodded. "I also heard you wanted revenge against Littlefoot and his friends." Pino added in. Ozzy stood up and took a threatening step twords Pino, making her jump slightly. "How do you know about them?" Ozzy said with a sinister tone. "Chomper told me." Pino said. Then the two were interupted by a sniffle..

Another chapter, and i have no clue what to title it. Doing this and the game "Who you like more?" it was pretty confusing so there's probably going to be a goof-up somewhere.. If you find any let me know, my fingers need a rest :p

Strut awakens! Ichy tells Chomper why he's with Ozzy and Strut and we check up on how Dil is doing..




Chapter 16: Strut awakens
Ozzy and Pino went to check up on how Strut was doing. Strut openned his eyes and looked around, he tried to get up but was to tired to. He felt like going back to sleep until..

"About time your awake!" Ozzy said, startling Strut. "You almost gave me a heart-attack!" Ozzy said, walking over to Strut. Strut looked up at Ozzy and said. "I did?" Strut said with a quite voice. Strut smiled, he never once heard Ozzy saying that before, maybe Ozzy does care about him deep down inside..




Ichy looked around every once and a while to make sure Acro was not stalking him or Chomper. "So.." Chomper began, looking up at Ichy. "Yeah?" Ichy said, looking down at Chomper. "How did you end up with the Egg-stealers?" Chomper said, He had been wondering where Ichy came from for some time now. "Long story.." Ichy said, landing on a tree branch and looking back down at Chomper. "See, there was this Belly Dragger called Dil, she couldn't really see to good and i made a deal with her. If i be her Eyes, She'll be my Teeth. Know what i mean?" Chomper nodded at what Ichy said. "Well, some night circles ago we went our different paths and.. Well, that's how i met Ozzy and Strut, in the Land of Mist." Ichy said. "the Land of Mist?" Chomper asked, tipping his head. "Yeah, a place where you can hardly see because of all the mist, nothing special." Ichy said, flying off the tree branch..





A loud belch echoed through the Land of Mist. Dil had eaten another Egg-stealer and licked her chops, she began to move forward into the jungle when she heard a sinister sounding laugh from the river. Dil followed the laughing and almost fell down into the river, which made the laughing grow louder. "Who's there!?" Dil said with a threatening tone. Something peaked it's head out from under the water and spat the water into Dil's face. Dil backed away from the River and growled. "Alright, now you've done it!" Dil said in an angry tone. "Think you can rip me to peaces like i almost did with you?" Said the voice from the River. "Oh yeah? Well atleast i can walk on land!" Dil replied with a bitter tone. The voice laughed again. "Coward! You would rather hide on land then go head to head with me?" Said the one in the river. Dil looked at a nearby tree and replied. "Me a coward? Im not the one always hiding in the river!" Just as she said that, the one in the river peaked his head out of the water and glared at Dil. "That's because i live in the water.." The one in the water said. Dil laughed at the tree, which she thought was the Swimming Sharptooth-Longneck. "To bad, not enough room to explore." Dil said, laughing. She went to go away but bumped into a tree which made the One in the Water laugh again. She turned her head around and stuck her tounge out at him, then went back into the misty jungle away from the creature that lived in the river..

Interesting! I wonder who the swimming sharptooth that challenged Dil was....

Glad to see Chomper and Ichy are kind of getting along, and I hope Tyra and Rano are ok

The swimming Sharptooth is the same one that chased Dil at the end of movie 4 after Dil hit Ichy with her tail not sure what they call plesiosaur's :p. Might try bringing Tyra and Rano back into the next chapter hopefully

Another Chapter :p Any goof-ups, let me know :)

Strut meets Pino, Chompers Parents continue searching for Chomper and Pino's Parents return to their nest full of Eggs(Uh-oh...) And Dil makes a decision which ends in a cliff-hanger for that poor Egg-stealer..


Chapter 17: Dil's decision
Pino walked over to the two Egg-stealers to see how they were doing. Strut wanted to get up but he didn't have the strength too. Then he noticed something.. "Where's Chomper?" Strut said, looking around. Then he caught sight of Pino, who smiled. "Hi." Pino said, waving at Strut. Strut looked up at Ozzy with a confused look. "Who's that?" Strut said. "I dont know, we haven't.. Introduced ourselves yet." Ozzy said, looking down at Strut, then back at Pino. Pino rubbed her head and said. "Sorry. My name is Pino." Pino said, smiling. "Pino? Im Strut!" Strut said, smiling. Ozzy looked down at Strut with a glare and said. "Pino already knows my name.." Ozzy said with a venomus tone. Pino frowned slightly and looked down at her feet, then they turn around and see Ichy and Chomper arriving with the flowers..




"Chomper!" Roared Tyra as they searched for Chomper, Rano sniffed the air and growled. "I can't smell his scent anywhere.." Tyra looked back at Rano and she too sniffed the air. "We must continue looking." Tyra growled. The two sharpteeth continued through the jungle looking for Chomper but he was nowhere in sight.. "Do you think.." Rano growled, but was silenced by Tyra's growl. "No. We will find him, even if we have to tear down this whole island."

Meanwhile, Spine and Spino returned to their nest. Spino sniffed the air and growled. "We cannot find Pino anywhere." Spino layed down next to the nest and layed her head down. Spine also layed down next to Spino and the nest. Spino raised her head and looked back at the jungle, wondering where Pino could be..



Dil grumbled to herself as she wandered through the misty jungle searching for food. "That Swimming Sharptooth's got some nerve." Dil thought to herself as the sniffed the air. She began walking again and a couple minutes later she bumped into another tree. "That's it! Im going to find Ichy!" Dil growled to herself. She turned around and bumped into another tree, angering her even more. Then she heard the sound of many creatures running, she layed down and stood still until the Egg-stealers came. They jumped over her head and when the time was right, she snapped her jaws on one of their legs. The Egg-stealer squirmed and tried to free itself from Dil's grip, then she let go and looked at the Egg-stealer with a sinister look. "Where's the way out?" Dil said with a demanding voice..

Nice chapter. It looks like "poor Eggs-stealer" might live to see another sunrise. ;)

Another chapter! Hopefully things wont be to confusing now. A little funny thing: Ozzy, Strut, Ichy, Chomper and Pino are all ganged up(Sorta.) Making a Gang of Five.(Kinda like Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike) If Dil entered the Story that would make a Gang of Six(Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike and Chomper) um, anyway's. Onto the Story!

Strut is cured! Not really as bad as i thought though. And the fate of the Egg-stealer is revealed!




Chapter 18: Strut is cured
Ozzy looked at Chomper, surprised that he didn't take the chance to run away. Pino walked over to Chomper to take the flowers and quickly plugged her nose with one of her hands when she got a sniff. "Thanks." Pino said, smiling at Chomper. Pino went over to Ichy, who was holding the flowers with his wings. Pino took the flowers and Ichy gasped for air when Pino went over to Strut with the flowers. "I can breath!" Ichy said..

Pino took the flowers to Strut, who quickly plugged his nose. "No brother of mine is going to eat that!" Ozzy said while plugging his nose. "He has to eat these if you want him to get better." Pino said, looking up at Ozzy. Ozzy glared at Pino, but said nothing. Pino went over to Strut, who sniffed the flowers and looked up at Pino with a grossed-out look. "You have to eat these if you want to get better." Pino said with a quite voice. strut gulped, plugged his nose again and ate the flowers.. Everyone gathered around to see what would happen..

"That.." Strut began with a sour tone to his voice, but then the tone of his voice changed to surprise. "Actually taste's good!" Strut said, making Ozzy put his hand on his face. "Can you stand?" Ichy asked. Strut got up on his feet with almost no trouble at all. "That stuff really works." Pino thought to herself. "Thank you so much!" Strut said, smiling at Pino. "Your welcome." Pino said..




"Where's the way out?" Dil said in a damanding voice to the Egg-stealer. "D-dont hurt me!" The Egg-stealer begged. Dil felt like laughing at the Egg-stealer, but continued to growl. "And where's Ichy?" Dil said. "Ichy? He-he left with Ozzy and Strut many night circles ago!" The Egg-stealer said in a shakey voice. "He left!?" Dil growled at the Egg-stealer. "Dont hurt me!" The Egg-stealer yelped. Dil was about to snap her jaws on his head when she thought about something.. "How about you take me to wherever they were heading, or atleast lead me out of the
jungle and point me in the direction!" The Egg-stealer stopped shaking when he heard Dil's words. "But you might not survive." The Egg-stealer said with a more calmer tone to his voice. "You had better show me before i change my mind.." Dil said with a sinister tone..



Ozzy, Strut, Ichy, Chomper and Pino walked through the jungle for hours. Ozzy, Strut and Ichy were looking for their cave while Chomper and Pino hoped that they would run into their parents..
Ozzy looked back at Pino, still wondering if she could still be trusted..

"How did you know the flowers would work?" Chomper asked Pino. "Like i said back there, i saw some Horn-heads taking some to their sick kid. I didn't really know, i just guessed." Pino said, looking back at Chomper. "But Strut's sickness could have meant anything, right?" Chomper said, tipping his head. "Not sure." Pino said, rubbing her head. Pino looked up at Ichy, who was laying on Strut's back with his wings under his head. And by the sound of it, Ichy was fast asleep. Pino ignored the sound and continued following..

------
Might try doing something different with the other chapters. Does an Alternet Chapter sound like a good idea? If i do Alt. Chapters they will be found on previous chapters. They will be the same chapter, just something a little different with them.. I wont do them right away though!

Thanks :) (If anyone makes another game like "Who do you like more?" Im going to stay a few inches away from it.. :p)

Again, I did another chapter :p Any goof-ups let me know. And im also going to try working on some more Alt. Chapters, in the meantime, Enjoy :)

The Egg-stealer leads Dil out of the Land of Mist and into the mysterious beyond, and the gang find a small cave..


Chapter 19: Shelter
The Egg-stealer lead Dil to the edge of the jungle. Dil stepped out onto the sand, it felt weird to her but she continued. "Where are you going?" The Egg-stealer asked. "Im going to find Ichy!" Dil said, moving further into the desert. The Egg-stealer grinned to himself and went back into the mists..



Ozzy, Strut, Ichy, Chomper and Pino continued through the jungle but they still found no cave. By now the night circle was high up in the Sky Water had been coming down for some time now. Finally, they came to a stop..

Strut flopped down onto the ground and Ichy tried to find a big enough plant to hide under to keep his feathers from getting wet, but he could not find any. Chomper, Pino and Ozzy looked for a dry place to rest. "Over here!" Chomper said. Ichy, Pino, Strut and Ozzy went over to Chomper, who showed them a small cave.. Everyone entered the cave and looked around. It wasn't as large as the other cave, but anywhere was better then outside in the rain..

Ichy tried to dry himself off, but his wings still dripped. Ichy sat down and frowned. "I hate it when this happens.." Ichy thought to himself.. Strut layed down on the ground, Exhausted. He watched as everyone got into the cave to rest.. Chomper looked around the cave, he remembered being brought to the other cave and the memory made him shudder. Chomper looked back at Pino and felt a little bit more relieved that he wasn't alone, But at the same time he was afraid that Pino might get hurt.. Pino watched as Ichy tried to dry himself off again, but to no avail. She looked back at Chomper and smiled. She wasn't sure what to do though, she was afraid of Ozzy and was afraid that Chomper might get hurt, or worse.. Ozzy looked around. Pino looked at Ozzy and he looked back. Ozzy still didn't trust Pino even if she helped. Ozzy looked away and began searching for a place to rest..

Hey, well I finally got around to reading this little story of yours. Very good, and I am glad Strut got better, I always liked him even if he was the one to suggest throwing the kids off a cliff in the movie :)

Thanks :)

Again, another chapter. not really to happy with it, My head has been hurting today so there's probably going to be a goof-up somewhere.. If you find any, let me know :)


Ozzy asks Pino a question: Why did she help?


Chapter 20: A quick question
Pino sat near the entrence to the cave, watching the Sky Water fall from the sky. She could not see any stars and was unable to see the night circle anywhere due to the sky puffies. Then a fast gust of wind almost knocked her down, she sat up and saw that the Sky Water was falling down even harder and she could hardly see what was outside of the cave. She quickly went away from the entrence when she heard a loud booming sound from outside..

Chomper sat next to Pino, who stared at the cave entrence. "You okay?" Chomper asked, making Pino jump slightly. "Yep, im okay." Pino said, smiling at Chomper. Chomper looked at the entrence to the cave, then back at Pino. "You miss your parents to?" Chomper said. Pino's smile soon faded away and she nodded. "It feels weird.." Pino said, looking back at the cave entrence.. "Im not used to being away from my Parents for this long." Pino said, looking down at her feet. "Sharptooth." Pino and Chomper looked up at Ozzy as he walked up to the two. "I want to talk with you for a minute.." Ozzy said. Pino and Chomper looked at eachother with a confused look, and looked back at Ozzy. Ozzy pointed at Pino and said.. "The Spined Sharptooth, Pino." Pino gulped, and looked back at Chomper. "Dont worry i wont hurt you.." Ozzy said, looking at Pino. Chomper looked at Pino. "I'll be okay." Pino said, looking back at Chomper with a smile.

Ozzy and Pino went to the back of the cave, Ozzy folded his arms and looked at Pino with a questioning look. "Just why did you help Strut?" Ozzy said with his usual tone of voice. "Well.." Pino began, looking up at Ozzy. Ozzy tapped his foot on the ground, waiting for an answer.. "I just wanted to help." Pino said. Ozzy's expresion softened up some, but he still looked at Pino with a glare. "Alright, that's all i wanted to ask.." Ozzy said, walking past Pino. Pino sighed with relief and went back over to where Chomper was..

Yay!
I love your use of imagery in the first paragraph. It sets the scene very nicely.
