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

Hunter looked around as Terri ran off.
"We need to stop those two." She then noticed the flyer. "Who's this?" she asked?

"I have no idea," Chomper rplied. "But knowing that rainbowface, he'll probably get away," the little rex admitted.

Trod was still trembling at the glance of the huge sharptooth that appeared from nowhere. - "I think I should do something" - then the kid began running after Cyrix, thinking that maybe he could help... and not noticing about Chomper and the Flyer on his arms.

Hunter looked confused at Chompers words and asked, "Why do you say that?"

~~~~~

Cyrix however was having a hard time evading Terri this time. But he saw his lucky break and jumped down a hole just big enough for him to fit though.

And Terri's snout smacked into the ground with a thump and she roared in mild pain. "Darn that rainbow face! He always finds a way to get away!"
She then remembered her son and the young flyer back at the watering hole, and turned to go back to them...when she felt something small smack into her leg. She looked down at Twiz, not sure what to do with the little one.

"That rainbowface has been hunted by my mommy and daddy many times, but he's never been caught," Chomper explained. He began run to find his mom when he heard her little roar in pain.

Trod kept on running trying to figure out where Cyrix went. He did that not noticing that Chomper's mother stopped her hunting and turned back, and he stopped running just a few meters behind Twiz - "EEP!" - the Runner had no choice but to wait what would the sharptooth going to do.

One minute Twiz had been confused then relieved as it appeared Hunter wasn't a threat and just sleep walking, yet then he did have reason to fear as another ground walking sharptooth charged for Cyrix!

Not wanting to, but obeyeing, Twiz darted off to a safer height. Yet he knew he couldn't leave it there, so he taken chase and ended up smacking straight into the actually hunting sharptooth.

He grinned nervosly, hoping his two almost baby teeth of sharpteeth would be enough to convince her not to eat him right then and there, yet seeing Cyrix again, Twiz found courage.

"You...you leave that rainbow face alone, 'cause...I like him and...I won't let you eat him!" Twiz said. He flapped up to Terri's eye level, "I...I don't care if I'm smaller than your tooth probably..." he realized, "I'll...well...drop things on your head to protect him if I have to so...please...just be nice".

Twiz thought he should have probably said something more heroic in wrapping that up, but what had come to his mind had just come out and he continued flapping there unsurely.

Trod was near some bushes, and he began watching carefully what Twiz was doing, trying to convince that huge sharptooth to stop the hunt. - "That's brave indeed... hopefully not a reckless action." - he thought for himself as he used the moment to try to look for Cyrix.

Chomper didn't want his mom hurt, so he ran up beside her. "She'll stop, don't worry," Chomper tried to assure.

OCC: Does Chomper still carry the wounded Flyer? if not, tell me to change my post, thanks :DD .

IC: Trod suddenly saw a sharptooth hatchling appearing. - "Is he speaking in the Leafeater tongue!?" - the Runner let his curiosity take over for a moment to get a bit closer to him, until he saw who was been carried by the little sharptooth - "... that... that cannot be..." - his arms and legs trembled as his eyes began filling with tears - "Rhamphy!!!!" - Trod began running until he reached Chomper, he saw his friend who was unconscious and asked Chomper. - "I know you can understand my language... is Rhamphy alive? (he saw the injuries Rhamphy has, and since he is in the arms of a sharptooth he asked with a serious tone) did you do this to him?".

"No!" Chomper said to Trod. "He was like this when I found him, and he's still alive. My mom and I helped him!"

As the little sharptooth spoke leafeater, and at Trod's response and the little sharptooth holding a flatoothed flyer it seemed, Twiz slowly lowered to the ground, just watching and taking in all that happened to try and understand.

He slowly walked up. "W-who's Rhamphy?" he asked, then he remembered Trod's words from first meeting him, "Is this that flyer you were looking for?".

He walked closer, "Gosh, what happened to him?".

Trod used his hands to dry his tears, unsuccesfully - "I... I really thought I lost him some ten bright circles ago... and he did find me." - he used his hand to caress his friend and then looked back at Chomper. - "I never thought I would ever say this... but thank you for helping him."

"Don't mention it," Chomper smiled.

Trod smiled at Chomper, and then he looked at Twiz - "Yes, he is my Flyer partner I mentioned. Our sharptooth hero here said he found him injured so I think we'll have to wait until Rhamphy wakes up... to know what happened."

"So what should we do with him while he's sleeping?" asked Chomper.

Terri was amused by Twiz's threat, and she began to laugh rather loudly as a matter of fact. She then looked down to her son and back up to Twiz...and still the smile didn't leave her face as she took a step back and nodded her head.
"Okay kid." she spoke to Twiz. "I'll leave the rainbow face alone from now on...besides, my mate and I can never seem to catch him anyway."
She then remembered the other flyer, and asked Chomper,
"Where did you leave the other flyer? Is he still by the water?"

Cyrix poked his head out of the hole, but didn't say a word. Still thinking Terri meant him harm.

Trod replied to Chomper - "Maybe, we should let him rest in a place near the water, or maybe in the place Cyrix was leading us... I don't know, I am just too happy to see he is alive."

Despite the situation, Twiz was able to find a small smile at the bigger sharptooth's words...though he wasn't sure if she wasn't making fun of him a bit. He shrugged it off though and turning spotted Cyrix.

"i-it's ok, she promised not to hurt ya" Twiz said before frowning, "but it looks like someone already hurt Trod's flyer friend" he indicated Rhamphy. "Though...he might be a little ok" he admitted, hearing Chomper and Trod talk.
