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

All Dogs go to Heaven: The RP

The two creatures were enveloped by the flames, instantly becoming similar to smoke...

----------

"Across the street!" Hawk led away from the house as two more of the creatures materialized after they had moved back under the front door.  He looked over to see a silouette dog sitting patiently on the other side of the road...

"Did it work?!" Itchy asked hopefully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Crud, they're everywhere..." gulped David.

~~~~~~~~~

Bess, needing time (and a large amount of space) for the hell dragon transformation, jumped out one of the windows and began to concentrate.

Itchy's flame had hit the two wraith creatures, but a third had waited in cover and was conjuring a dark green flame of its own, while the other two were swirling back together...

----------

"This way!" called the dog on the sidewalk to David & Hawk.

Suspicious, but Hawk thought it could be better than sticking with the pursuing monsters alone, and he turned to guide David across the street...

"Oh crap..." Itchy muttered, when he realized his tactics weren't so effective.

Bess called from outside "Just a few more seconds!" she said, referring to how long until the dragon transformation came.

~~~~~~

David was also suspicious of the new dog, but something had to be done if they wanted to get away.

As the first two wraith-creatures re-materialized, the third began to unleash its green flame at the dogs.

Charlie, without the collar Anne gave him, grabbed his guardian angel pin and held it in front of him.  A translucent white energy domed feet in front of him and the green flame reflected off of it.  "Now or never, Bess!" he shouted.

----------

The other creatures were in pursuit of Hawk & David across the street, when the new dog reached behind him and pulled forth what looked like a decorated shield in the size for dogs.  The face of the shield began to emit its own light.  "You'd better stand to side," he said calmly to the boy and the Doberman.

The creatures stopped suddenly...

"Got it!" Bess called to her friends. With just a few more seconds, the transformation began. Bess's fur began to become more scale-like, and the dog was soon a dragon again. "That's more like it," she laughed confidently, he body also much larger because of the dragon-form.

~~~~~~~~~

"Ok,' David nodded, having no idea what to expect as the shield lit up.

Anne turned to her daughter. "Dear, get ready for battle!"

The mystery dog's shield emitted a bright light and unleashed a blast of energy, destroying the cloaked creatures on the lawn...

----------

Suddenly, Charlie's angel pin's power momentarily intensified and the monster's green fire was reflected back at it, narrowly missing the materializing creatures...

"What's happening?" David asked, impressed by the blast.

~~~~~~~~~~`

Itchy was asking the same thing. "Charlie, what happened to your pin? How did it do that?"

"Am I still needed?" Dragon-Bess called.

Hawk's jaw dropped by the sight.  This was no normal dog, like the others...

The shield's light finally faded...

----------

The intensity of the pin also began to fade to normal.  "You're still needed, Bess!" he called...

"Gotcha!" Here I come!" Bess called, managing to just barely fit in through the window. Luckily, she could fit inside the house with even room for mobility.

"Take this!" she called, whacking one of the creatures with her large tail.

~~~~~~~~~

"Who are you?" David asked, amazed at the shield's power. This dog likely did not live on Earth.

~~~~~~~~`

"Please work..." Itchy said hopefully.

Anne turned to her fire imps. "Create a distraction for those ones boys," she ordered.

The creature flew back from Bess' swing and whacked hard into a cabinet, smashing it before it came apart like ash...

The first two creatures dodged, barely avoiding the dragon's attack...

----------

Before the dog could answer, they could hear a crash from within the house.  "There must be more inside the house," he said.  "Stay here."  He straps his shield across his back and bounded towards the house...

(OOC: Since Nick's gone for a while, should we take over his characters: Sasha, Annabelle, and Belladonna?)

"We will," David nodded, amazed at what he had just seen.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Direct hit!" Itchy cheered as his girlfriend slammed one of the creatures.

Bess then tried a claw swipe at another one.

(OOC again: And I forgot, who controlled Carface and Killer?)

(OCC:  Nick's got Carface while I got Killer.)

The two remaining creatures dodged from the dragon, when one of them were ganged by Anne's devil minions.  Furiously, it slashed at the vile things with razor claws...

While Charlie helped Tank back onto his feet, a figure of golden fur leaped through the window into the house past the others...

----------

Back at Carface's home, Blight watches the events play out on his orb...

"What's that?" Itchy asked, seeing the golden figure enter the room in the midst of the battle.

The fire imps fell back in pain, and Anne raced over to them. "It's ok," she tried to assure, wanting to help her minions. She opened up a tiny crack in the floor, a portal to Hell just big enough for the imps, and they escaped back down it, then Anne resealed the hole.

The crack sealed before the monster could follow, but it never noticed the new arrival before the mystery dog drew a sword from beneath his shield and slashed it to ribbons, which shriveled to ash...

"Now who are you?!" Charlie questioned, watching the whole thing.

The mystery dog, revealed as a collie, turned to look at Charlie.  "We haven't met, Charles Barkin, but I've heard of your escapades here on Earth from Annabelle quite a bit..."  He turned back to the remaining cloaked wraith and twirled his sword...

Tank's jaw dropped.  "Cool..." was all he could say...

(OCC:  This is Zekiel.  You'll find him in the list of profiles.)

"Wow.....this is getting epic," Itchy said, seeing the new dog wield a sword.

Bess, having lost her concentration, reverted to her hell dog form. "Who are you?" she questioned.

"I think I've seen you before," Anne recalled to the heaven hound. "I think you were there when my husband became a hellhound."

"I'm sure I remember you from then," the dog replied to Anne, turning to glance at Charlie.  "How about using that angel pin of yours to finish the job?"

Charlie remembered he had the pin in paw, and raised it up again to create a bright light to illuminate the room.

The creature, sensitive to the light, gave a shriek of fear before melting to dust and crawling out through the bottom of the front door...

"Well that worked," Itchy awed, removing his Hell collar, as did his girlfriend.

"Who are you?" Bess asked.

"I know him," Annabelle (Taking over for Nick for a while) explained. "He's one of the top angels trained to fight."

"I'm just a senior guardian angel," Zekiel replied as he sheathed his sword.  He glanced at Tank, whom was still wearing the hellhound collar.  "Personally, I think it doesn't suit you..."

Tank couldn't move fast enough to remove the collar and changing back to normal.

"I almost forgot, you'd better bring your friends back inside."

"Oh yeah," Charlie replied and left the house the way he came to the front.  "David!"

Back inside, Zekiel turned his attention to Annabelle.  "I am certainly surprised even you could don that look of a hellhound.  I take it must be THAT important to do so...?"
