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

"We should get going now," Chomper told his friends.

<We should, we should.> Ducky said nodding, <If we do not hurry the land bridge may vanish again.> She said.

<We can go back to the Great Valley later, after we've been to get the night flowers.  The Great Valley will need time for the green food to grow back.  Some leaf gobblers ate all the green food there.  That is why our families and the others left.  > Littlefoot said.  

(ooc: I think I got the basic plot right) (forgot their name was leaf gobblers and not leaf eaters)

"This can be your chance to find your mother and sister." - Rhamphy said to Trod.

"I hope you are right... I really hope so." - Trod replied, as both kids began walking following Chomper and Littlefoot's lead back to the Mainland.

"I just hope we won't run into big flatteeth who would want to hurt me or my parents," Chomper commented.

Ducky nods to what Rhamphy said, <Yep, yep, yep.  Maybe they smell a bit like you so the others here could find them for you.  They you could be with them.> Ducky said.

"If flatteeth do try any tricks they'll find I know a few as well." Dein said firmly "But I doubt that any will want to attack us. It would be extremely unwise and... deadly. For them." he stated with this creepy voice, which was usually heard when he spoke in flattooth.

"<Yeah, you can take any flattooth or mean sharptooth down!>" smiled Chomper.

"Uh, yeah..." Cory said, still getting use to the creepy voice Chomper's dad had, "well just good to know we're safe no matter what".

"and you guys are right, maybe we will find our herd's again!" Kit said optimistically. "Not mine...I lost them way back" Twiz frowned. "Aw, don't worry" Kit went on, "you could always stay with me and my dad until we found them again, after all your family too" she smiled.

"THat sounds good, what do you think?" Littlefoot asked Twiz.  Ducky shivered a bit from hearing Chomper's dad's voice but was starting to get use to it since he spoke in a more or less calmish voice and not with any anger or such behind it.

"So let's move," Chomper called, running ahead with Littlefoot.

"Yes, let us hurry while we can." Ducky said while getting onto Spike.  

"Yes, we don't know how much time we have." Littlefoot said heading towards where the Land bridge was again.

"I...I think that sounds like a great idea" Twiz smiled. Kit smiled as well, "but come on, Chomper's right, we have to move before we lose the landbridge!".

"Ooh, I just hope it's here even when we make our way back..." Cory couldn't help but think up that possibliity.

Soon, they arrived at the land bridge. The passage to the mainland was back.

"<Here we go,>" said Spike.

Chomper jumped down and began walking across the landbridge. "Haven't crossed this in a while," he smiled.

Trod followed, stepping on the landbridge - "It would be nice that the landbridge can remain until we return... if we return here." - The Runner didn't see how it dissapeared the last time, but he saw that it was gone, long after the Great Valley kids arrived to the island.

Rhamphy decided to walk his way back to the mainland. - "I am always eager to see a new place. Even better if we where are going to help save someone's life." - He said happily, giving small hops along the way.

Terri, Cyrix and Hunter all kept pace behind the others knowing the land bridge could disappear at any time.

Hunter however was compelled to speak.
"Are we sure this is a good idea, I mean yes we get off the island, but what if we just put ourselves in more danger?!"
