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

"As long as it doesn't make you sleepy" Twiz answered Cyrix before settling down himself. "Thanks...Mr. Cyrix" he said as he drifted off, "it is more comfortable going to sleep somewhere still new if I know you'll be watching out for something".

"Thank you very much sir" - Trod replied bowing to Cyrix in sign of respect. - "...hopefully nothing bad will happen, but I think we can find a way to help you anytime."

The newcomer Flyer did his best to fly between the many trees of the island, he flew until his own wings gave up on moving and the kid crashlanded near a watering hole. - "I... cannot move anymore" - he then saw an approching dinosaur, he looked small but the purple scales and red eyes were visible - "I... I just hope he is... not a sharptooth...." - the Flyer was panting, trying to catch his breathe and waiting for whatever thing may happen since he has no strenght to not even move.

Chomper walked towards the water, but then he saw the flyer standing there breathless.

The Flyer has his look fixed at Chomper, he saw that the incoming dinosaur was indeed a sharptooth, he sighed and used his arms to try to raise himself. - "Sorry Trod, I... I really tried." - that was all the kid could say before loosing conciousness, due to fatigue and maybe some blood lost coming from some nasty-looking injuries that could be seen.

Chomper looked concerened at the flier as it fainted. "I gotta do something!" Chomper thought. He picked the flyer up and ran back to his nest.

"<Mom, dad, this flier's hurt!>" he called.

"<Flier? What flier?>" Dein asked dreamily, as he had just fallen asleep.

"<This one,>" Chomper replied, setting it down.

When Terri heard the words hurt, and flyer in that order she immediately opened her eyes and looked down at Chomper and the flyer in his arms.
"Oh dear...the poor thing, it needs help." She then stood up and said, "Follow me Chomper, we're going to take him to a near by watering hole."

~~~~~

Cyrix gave a soft laugh.
"Don't worry boys, you'll be fine...trust me. And I won't sleep tonight I promise." he said quietly so they could start to fall asleep, but that bad feeling in his gut wouldn't leave...in fact it was only getting worse by the moment.

Hunter was close now...she could smell it. This time she would catch her prey...and be victorious once again! She let loose a low growl as she pounced towards Cyrix.

Cyrix however had heard the growl and had enough sense to move without making a sound, while at the same time grabbing Hunter around the neck and holding her still.

Chomper nodded and followed his mother, even though he didn't know who this flier is.

~~~~~~~~~~

Veil opened his eyes and saw Cyrix and Hunter attacking each other. "Um......" he said, not knowing what to do.

"Ok...good night Mr. Cyrix" Twiz said and finally did begin to drift off to sleep. He had half drifted when the slight growl and low but still present sounds of a struggle jolted him awake yet again.

His eyes went wide as he saw Cyrix battling with a sharptooth! He had no idea who Hunter was after all, and just saw a vicious ground walking sharptooth. "H-hold on Mr. Cyrix, I'll help ya!" he said, darting in to try and hit at the sharptooth, but Hunter dodged and all Twiz ended up doing was gently but uselessly bumping against some rocks on the opposite side. With a sigh he turned though.

This was weird for Veil, as he knew both Cyrix and Hunter, so he didn't know who to help.

Cyrix continued to hold Hunter around her neck and finally noticed something.
"Veil, she seems to be asleep...If you and Twiz could just bop her on the head here....right between the eyes, it should wake her up. I'll hold her still." called Cyrix now that everyone was awake and alert.

Hunter however continued to struggle and fight to be let go and capture her dream prey.

~~~~~

Terri stopped walking for a moment and sniffed the air. She then grinned.
"It seems Hunter has found our rainbow faced prey for us...how nice." She then started walking again and faster than before.

"Gotcha," Veil nodded, bopping Hunter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

"Is this flyer goning to be okay mom?" asked chomper.

Hunter immediately stopped moving and went limp in Cyrix's arms. After a few moments she groaned and opened her eyes. After realizing she was being held by Cyrix, she screeched and jumped from his hold, and landed right in the water.

Cyrix couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

Hunter however was visibly angry as she shouted: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEAR MY NEST?! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY!!!"

Cyrix for a moment was taken aback as he said calmly and quietly
"My dear Hunter, it seems you were sleep walking....again!"

After hearing that Hunter blushed in embarassment and sat down in the water. "S-sorry." she mumbled.

~~~~~

Terri had been so focused on getting to the rainbow face that when Chomper spoke it made her stop for a moment. She looked down and realized the flyer's health came first and she nodded her head to her son.
"Yes, he'll be alright...he does seem to have a few minor wounds, but he's mostly just tired."

"Where should we put him mom?" asked Chomper.

Terri saw the pond, and said, "Right there Chomper. In the water." As she looked up however she could clearly see Hunter...and even more impressive was the rainbow face she had been hunting for some time. She grinned and said,
"Chomper....stay with the flyer. I have something I need to do!" She then charged through the water right for Cyrix.

Hunter heard the roar and recognized it right away, but moved aside so as not to be stepped on.

Cyrix however went pale as he told Trod, Twiz, and Veil to move out of the way, while doing the same thing himself.

Trod looked at the situation and it went closer to Cyrix and said regretfully - "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything at all... it's just that I'm not strong enough to fight." - He then saw the huge Sharptooth approaching and he just did what Cyrix told him and the others to do and jumped out of the way.

The Flyer was still unconscious, but he was able to mumble some words, in fact, those words were names. - "Trod... Doni..."

Hunter was confused. So she walked over to Chomper and asked, "What is your mom doing? That rainbow face is my friend...why is she hunting him?"

Cyrix turned and ran into the forest hoping to try and lose Terri.

But the female sharptooth wouldn't be fooled so easily and kept chasing Cyrix.
