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

"So, just who was that?" Haley asked as Fu Dog had gone to fetch her some ice.

Fu Dog returned and handed Haley the ice pack before answering her question "I'm not entirely sure, all I know is that her name is Gabriel and that she's been causing other toons to go out of business, from Mr. Krabs at the Krust Krab to Mun Daal and his own restaraunt, even places like the Townsvile Elementary School where the Powerpuff Girls used to go has closed down, heck, even Mojo Jojo had to move out of his labratory because of her"

"Wait, if that's what she's doing, wouldn't Gramps be on her list as well?" Haley asked back as she held the icepack on her head.

"Hmm, yeah, it's possible, only a few I know who are still around, ACME, this restaraunt, Gramp's shop, and even Scrooge McDuck is going strong" replied Fu Dog.

"What happened?" Ian asked, thinking it sounded familiar, like a story one of his old friends told him a while back.

"Don't worry, she'll get what's coming to her eventually, but the thing is, how?" Haley asked Winnie in particular to see if she had any ideas "That, and what of those Laffylympics now? Especially with her around, it seems like we've got to get her permission to have them held at this rate, because I doubt Mr. Mayor back in City Hall can do anything about it"

"I hate to say it, but I think you're right, we're going to have to do something about her at least, well, her and those rodents of hers" Fu Dog added in.

"Well, you can count me in" Haley spoke up.

Zim seemed to grumble a bit "Okay, fine, me and GIR will help out as well"

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy on the other hand, had fallen asleep throughout the whole visit from Gabriel.  However, SpongeBob spoke up "I know someone who will be able to help us out, no matter what"
"You don't mean?" Patrick asked SpongeBob.
"Oh yeah" replied SpongeBob "We'll be back Winnie" and with that, both he and Patrick took off in order to find who they were looking for.

"I wonder what help those two are going to bring back" Fu Dog spoke up "However, I will say this, you can count me in as well"

"Either here or have them held on neutral ground where she has no power." Ian said.  "Though we do need to clean up here and perhaps hire some security guards for the place."

_ Scooby count me in for your team as well.." winnie said as she and Stripetail walked toward the kitchen' That would be a conflict of interest, if your resteraunt is a sponsor of the games " stripetail reminded her.

Haley put the icepack down and flew over to a brown before she begun to sweep up the plates of food Gabriel had dropped onto the ground earlier on.

Fu Dog on the other, headed into the kitchen to help out as well, cleaning up whatever it is he could clean up.

***

Meanwhile, Gabriel and her weasels had arrived at Scrooge McDuck's place as she walked up to him "Greetings McDuck, I am here strictly on business, and you would do best to comply with what I am after, or you will face dire consequences" she told him as she whilstled for her toons to bring in a whole barrel of none other than Dip.

"Now, you do know what this is?" Gabriel asked him.

"Why, that can't be, Roger Rabbit and Eddie already stopped Judge Doom and his dastardly Dip" replied Scrooge.

"Indeed they had, but let's just say that I have my own ways of getting Dip" Gabriel told him.

Scrooge seemed to grumble "Okay, what is it that you want?"

"Simple, I need you to shut down your mining companies, shut down everything" Gabriel told him.

"Shut down everything? You must be out of your mind" replied Scrooge.

Gabriel whistled to a weasel for him to bring her one of Scrooge's bags of money, putting on some real world gloves and took the money bag before dipping it into the Dip, completely destroying it "Now, if you wish to keep all of your precious money, you shall do as I say, or all of you money will be dipped"

Scrooge was now hessitating "No! Not my precious money!" he was now begging Gabriel as he was in a rather pickle right now.

One weasel handed her something rather different, a bomb "Do you know what this is? It's something I've been experimenting on, a Dip Bomb, once it goes off, boom, any toon object caught within its shower is more or less destroyed, although, it is a work in progress"

Gabriel walked over to his vault of money as the weasels got it open before tossing the bomb inside.  Moments later, there was an explosion and Dip began to rain down upon Scrooge's money.

"Alright, you've got me, I'll shut down my businessess" Scrooge told Gabriel.

Gabriel just seemed to smirk back "So glad we could reach an understanding, weasels.....get rid of the rest of his money....we're going to do the impossible....make Scrooge McDuck bankrupt" she laughed as Dip was poured into Scrooge's vault of money, destroying his life's earnings.

Ian and Droopy helped with the cleanup.  Ian swept some trash into a portable hole he kept in a pocket.  He found carrying a few toon gadgets handy.

Soon, outside, a paper boy was heard "EXTRA! EXTRA! Scrooge McDuck gone bankrupt! Toontown citizens crippled from it!"

Haley overheard what was being yelled "Scrooge McDuck bankrupt? But that's impossible, it's impossible for him to go bankrupt, he's got too much money, even taking one trillion wouldn't dent his money pile" she spoke as she kept on sweeping still.

"I wonder if what'shername is involved." Droopy said.

"I would assume she is.  They can ask the riches for help.  I heard they are rich enough to loan money to queen Elizabeth or bill gates." Ian said as he finished sweeping some stuff into his portable hole and picked it up.   "Handy things.  Better then at trash can." he said.  The trash going somewhere very deep underground.

Haley could not help but grumble to herself as she looked to Winnie before letting go of the broom and flying off, she wanted to go and talk to Scrooge McDuck herself.

"Haley? Oh great, she's gone" Fu Dog spoke up as he headed over to Winnie.

***

Haley arrived at Scrooge's and had a look around "What happened here?"

"Oh, it was terrible lass, that Gabriel lady came in here and used all that Dip stuff on my life's earnings" replied Scrooge as he was sitting at his desk.

"Dip? I thought that stuff was destroyed after Judge Doom's defeat" Haley told Scrooge as she landed on his desk.

"Aye, that's what I thought to, until they bought in a whole barrel of the stuff and used it on all my money" Scrooge explained "But I don't know how they would know of it"

Haley thought for a second "I have a feeling that this Gabriel and Judge Doom are somehow connected, I mean, how else would she get her hands on some Dip of her own?"

"Hmm, that's a good point too lass" Scrooge told Haley.

"You should come to Winnie's for the time being, everyone else is there at the moment"  Haley offered him.

"That's very kind of you, let me just grab my things" replied Scrooge as he grabbed a bag and put what he could into it before walking off with Haley, taking one last look at his place as he sighed, heading back to Winnie's with Haley.

Stripetail reached into his robes and pulled out a bag of gold coins  and dumped them out on the table. each one of these coins is worth ten thousand dollars a piece so take ten, just ten, and go out and spend them" he said to Winnie who picked up and one of them and looked at him with amazement.. Stripetail then turned to everyone and raised his voice
_

Haley soon enough, entered the restaraunt again with Scrooge McDuck.

"Kid, don't ever take off like that without telling someone" Fu Dog told Haley.

"Sorry Fu Dog, but I just had to speak with Scrooge here, and I found out something as well, Gabriel was using Dip, used it to completely destroy his fortune" she told everyone else.

"Oh man, that can not be good, if she's got her hand on Dip, then I hate to say it, but the whole of Toontown is in danger once again" Fu Dog replied back.

"Aye, that it is, and Winnie, I am sorry for what Gabriel has done to you, Haley told me everything" Scrooge told Winnie as he walked over to her and Woody "However, I do hear that you are planning the Laffalympics as well, which seems to be all we can really do in this sort of situation, that is, if she doesn't use that dastardly Dip to ruin them"

"The dip?  That is very bad, very bad indeed." Droopy said.   "Now it seems we have more then one mystery to solve.  Dee's agent and to stop whatever this Gabriel person is up to."  



"I'll be right back." Ian said.   He thought he should tell a certain old friend of his about some of the recent events. He went into the men's room and pulled out a cellphone and called Eddie Valiant's number to tell him about the recent incidents that had happened, leaving the message on his answering machine if he didn't answer.

"This is Ian.  Just thought you may want to know that someone named Gabriel has the dip or rediscovered it's formula or something and has some weasels working for her it seems.  She seems to be trying to drive folks out of business and has used the dip on Scrooge McDuck's money." He said into his cellphone.

--

Wally Gator had gotten tired of zoo food so decided to go out to a restaurant for some real food.  He saw one not to far off named Winnie's and decided to head in that direction.

"That looks like a pleasant food establishment." He said.

"I can't help but feel that the agent is no longer....alive you know, he just may have been Dipped" Haley told Droopy as she sat down "Well, that is, if he was a toon you know and not one of these real world agents"
