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

After hearing the story, Kelassa was horrified, she even fell to her knees. - "That is... monstrous... how that happened?" - Herril stood next to her. - "They are not lying, I can sense nothing but evil on them, they must be stopped, the combined magic of Healers could solve the problem of most of those Dracons, but we must get rid of these bad guys now."

Eriol was visible angered. - "I totally agree with you Psyonic. Thy must be stopped here and now, and then, Dememoras himself." - The male Gaean Panther drawed his swords and readied himself.

Akito stepped forward, drawing his swords, rolling and popping his neck menacingly.
"So you two serve Dememoras?  Then...you're my enemies.  And you're gonna die."
He snarled, as the others drew their weapons as well.   The female Dracon laughed.  

"You fools!  Lord Dememoras is simply trying to cleanse this world, and remake it as he sees fit!  No different than what scum like you do!"
She sneered, drawing several knives as her partner unslung a greatsword and chuckled.

"I wonder how long you can last...weaklings."
He taunted, twirling his sword menacingly.  Akito growled, then lunged at the male, as Juri and Utena lunged the female.  Behind Akito, Kuja and Miki leapt forward, as Touga and Saiyonji moved to defend the others.  Ruka stepped back from the battle, staff held nervously...

Adykon drew his sword. He would deal with this rabble first, and ask questions later.

"I don't know who you are, or who you think you are, but there is no way you are going to stop us!"

The party still had to rescue Aerta. This was at best a distraction, but maybe one Herill could read the minds of one of these foes, possibly providing valuable information, and turning this hindrance into a help.

The male dracon parried Akito's sword strike, then countered with a vicious kick, launching Akito backwards into the air, sending him into Kuja and Miki, knocking the three of them sprawling.  Next to him, the female dodged past Utena and Juri, catching them and throwing them into two of the pillars.

"You rabble think you can stop us?"
They taunted...

Marcus fired a arrow at her but it was incinerated before it even touched her. " Great.. So these arrows don't really work" He thought.
_ Minna  ran forward heading towards the male Dracon, her staff glowing. ' Try this! " She snarled, sending a blast of magical energy at him. It struck him in the chestand threw him back briefly for a time..  Minna frowned, the Dracon was stronger than he looked " We don't have time to waste scum like you, we have more important business to attend to!"

Herril was looking at the enemies as they are battling against the party members, unable to fight as he is keeping himself close to the blinded survivor.

 He then thought and noticed something strange in them, so he closed his eyes for a moment. - "I see..." - He then sent a message, mentally to all of the party members. - "Those Dracons are psyonic too, they are more effective as they can share the information they have from all of us, like where we are and how we are moving. I'll try to jam their thoughts for a moment." - the message was transmitted to all members of the party as thei are hearing Herril's voice in their minds.

"This is freking insane." - Eriol said as he heard Herril's voice in his mind, as Adykon and all the others Dracons and the Fauxen are also hearing him. Nevertheless, he charged against the male Dracon, using his left hand to fire an arrow from his crossbow and immediatley lanching a strike with one of his swords using his right hand. Hoping to do some damage to the enemy.

The jamming attempt worked. Herill had cut off the party's minds from the enemy and thus, the evil dracons didn't know what move Adykon and the rest were about to make next. The foes had grown dependent on knowing what the enemy was going to do, and now that they no longer knew, their true battle prowess was laid bare for all to see.

Adykon took a swing at the red-armored male, sinking his blade into the chestpiece of the enemy's armor, the pulling to one side, ripping it off.

"It seems that Dememoras' men doesn't make armor very well, do they?!" It was a boast, but one with a basis in fact. Adykon followed up on his assault with a blow to the enemy's head, knocking him clean off his clawed feet. Now for the black-skinned female...

Akito grinned and twirled his swords.  
"Now, then.  To wrap this up!"
He said, flickering out of view before several slashes ripped the air around the two enemies, both of them being physically slashed to ribbons, blood splattering the ground around where they had stood.

Adykon was rather surprised by Akito's actions; not that he had wanted to killed the enemies, but that he was ABLE to do it. The Fauxen were often not taken seriously in the party, mainly due to their stature, their odd equipment, and the fact that they seemed to appear and disappear without warning.

Now, Adykon would have to think twice.

"Akito... what is... how did you?..." The mercenary was simply at a loss for words.

Akito smirked.
"It's a trick called lightning step.  It's one of the highest-tier samurai techniques.  I have to admit, my control over it is less than perfect, but..."
He looks back.  
"I'd say it works fairly well."
He said, remorse coloring his voice...

Eriol came closer to Akito and with a sly smile he said - "Akito, after what they have done to innocent people, the last thing you should feel is remorse." - He couldn't avoid to feel a bit cynical after saying that because he was a full-time assassin, but he didn't show that, he is just happy those two enemies were now sent inot oblivion.

Kelassa was amazed. - "That was amazing Akito. Who knows how many lives you saved by doing what you just did." - but there is also no way to know in how many other people Akito's technique has been used with in the past. She just stood there. - "I'll check the party members to see if any of them need healing, Vespion, I may use your help if you want."

Herril, on the other hand, closed his eyes and gave a deep breathe. - "That was... wow, I was still connected to their minds when Akito attacked... then, nothing, their minds were like erased when their bodies were destroyed. They sure had a very quick death." - he then helped the Dracon survivor from that town to get up.

"We can find out what they were doing later. Right now, we need to find Aerta. I don't like the looks of this." For the first time since the siege of Minbenthac, the warrior was worried. Very worried. Were they in the path of an enemy army, or its wake?

"I can sense powerful magic to the north. I'm willing to bet that it's Aerta's palace." Vespion's magical sense had not failed him yet, and hopefully, they would not fail now.

What none of them realized is that someone was watching them, from a distance. Someone who could cloak his magical signature and stay hidden even from Vespion's senses.

Margas gave Akito an appreciative nod  " Very Nice work, Akito. You just saved us a great deal of effort, now, onto Aerta's palace. Marcus I'm going to need you  to help me...'
_ With what? My arrows weren't very effective in battle.. " marcus interjected. " We need to scout the area ahead of us..' Margas Explained.  he turned to Adykon " Marcus and I are going on a little bit ahead of you , to scout the area. We'll be back in a hour or so.."

"We can't wait that long. Those two were certainly not the only ones around here. We all have to keep moving, but if you want to go ahead of us, we can catch up. I won't sit around here and let us be hit by more of those... well, whatever those two guys were."

Adykon was glad that Akito had killed them, but at the same time, he had wanted to question those two. Oh well.

Akito sighed, looking down at his sword.
"I...I took a life... I did something I can't take back... Have I become a monster...?"
He said quietly to no one in particular...

"I'm you're a monster, I must be Dememoras himself" Adykon whispered, having heard Akito. "Don't feel bad about self-defense, or fighting in the name of what is right. At least, that's what I tell myself. I have fought for money for many years, but I have tried to only fight for good causes. At least, I hope they are. We are alike in many ways, Akito."

Rhiga was nervous, but said nothing. Why was it that every time they left the city, something bad happened? How did all these monsters, soldiers, brigands, and thugs know where they were?

meanwhile back at rex's house...

Jake slipped away from the room, he walked down the stairs and when he reached the lounge room he saw exodar sitting upwright examining the room. Jake walked over to him. "looks like you had a good nap" said Jake. "um...yeah...where the F*** am i???" asked exodar as calmly as possible.

"well, your in my house, in the center of minbenthac." replied Jake to exodars question. "oh..um..okay.." said Exodar as he got up and walked over to Jake. Exodar offered his hand to Jake "i'm exodar, and who might you be?". Jake shook exodars hand "i'm Jake".

"Well, now that we know each other, where are you headed?" asked exodar. "i've got some business to take care of" replied Jake. "okay, maybe i can help you with it?" said Exodar. Jake thought about this but before he could answer he was interrupted by selturma.

"Jake, are you going someplace?" Selturma had followed him and had found Exodar and Jake , and was surprised to see the latter going out of the house. "Are you trying to sneak off to find Adykon and the others? Don't lie to me, Jake. Heheh!" And as before, Selturma bounced up and down a few times, eager to see what Jake was up to.

"You're trying to find Adykon and Rhiga. Admit it!" She added with a smile and a laugh.

Jake and exodar both looked at selturma. Exodar was surprised at the fact that a creature he had not seen before was talking and bouncing up and down. "umm.....what the hell are you?" asked Exodar. "she's a Dracon, and to answer you question selturma...yes i am looking for Adykon if you must know...do you know where he and the rest headed off to? i need to find them immediately." said Jake

"You've never seen Dracons before?" Selturma was puzzled. "Well, it just happens that you're in a land where almost everyone IS a dracon!" And once again she laughed and bounced up and down, oblivious to the fact that it made her look very silly. "How did you get here, Exodar? How was it that you had no idea that you were in a Dracon city in a Dracon country?"
