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

"Let's do this!" both cousins said in unison

"Are we gonna get wet?" Oliver asked Arlene as they sat.

"My weight should help me balance," Tiger smirked.

"You said it dear," Kitty nodded

Droopy looked at the one he had picked from his team, "Well, we may as well get to the top and get ready." He said.

"You won't be beating me," Tiger chuckled.

"This will be fun to watch," Oliver smiled to his mother as they sat off to the side

"I am also ready." Droopy said in his monotone voice.  He did hope the 2 of them did well.  he was sure they would do pretty well, but all that mattered really was that they did their best and have some fun too.  

"You can do it Dulcy and Droopy." Wally called out.

"What do we get if your team wins, mom?" Oliver asked.

..............

Tiger began surfing, using his weight to keep balance. "Bring it on," he smirked.

Belladonna looked bored as she did so.

Droopy did his best to maintain his balance while surfing.  like he had done while surfing at some beaches he had done over the decades.  A fun sport, or at least he thought.

Gabriel was on a secluded mountain a kilometer or so away from the events. She watched through a set of binoculars as the contestants surfed on a column of water from Monstro. Her flagship had been sunk by the living planes but she had managed to salvage her art supplies and replicator. Several mortar tubes had been set up and the Weasels were ready. She had also managed to draw up her mobile base which was currently idling on the dirt road.

"Fire!" she barked.

The mortar tubes roared as the Weasels dropped in the shells.

-----------------

A minute later, the shells began to burst over the competitors. Angry wasps swarmed out from the blasts and began stinging anyone nearby. Streamers and confetti helped disorient the competitors.

"What the heck?" Oliver exclaimed, as he once again clung to Arlene's leg for security.

"Damn it," Belladonna groaned, having wanted to focus on the competition.

The Duke looked up and prepared for any needed combat.

"wasps?  Everyone dive for the water." Droopy said to everyone present before he jumped into the water.  He was sure the wasps could or would not follow him under the water.

"Oh, dear.  I didn't sign up for this." wally said from the team spectator area as he ran for the water and jumped in.  Being a gator he certainly wouldn't mind being underwater for a while.

Gary meanwhile looked around at the chaos that had started.  He figured some people would likely get hurt.  He found it easy to find a place to change.  He pulled at his arm, pulling up his feathers to show his bracelet.  He pressed a button to switch to a more anthro roadrunner, since a regular toon type would have no hands and would find it harder to save people.  He then set out to use his new super speed to focus on saving some people and helping out with the chaos.

--------------

Splinter looked out a window.  "Wicked, glad we're in here."" Splinter said.

"You and me both." Knothead said, standing next to Splinter.

But it was not over. Gabriel followed up with mortar shells with jellyfish that proceeded to sting those who had taken cover by diving into the water.

----------

"Stripetail!" Captain Fairchild radioed. The wasps were incapable of stinging him but Gabriel had wised up and used streamers and confetti shells in an attempt to clog his engines. "Someone's shelling the competition! They're using wasps and confetti!"

Droopy saw a jellyfish nearby, he also saw a swordfish fairly close.  "Well, i am a bit hungry." he said.  He grabbed the swordfish and pulled out a loaf of bread from somewhere.  he then used the swordfish to cut 4 slices of bread. Then as the jellyfish came closer he moved in a blur is arms hard to see.   When he stopped he had 2 jelly sandwiches.  one he offered to the swordfish.

"Thanks for helping me." Droopy said.

"Thanks Mak, always glad to help the good guys." he said and took his sandwich.  They started to eat the sandwiches together.

"mmm, grape.  i would prefer strawberry, but grape jelly is almost as good." Droopy said.  

===================

Gary was grabbing people and running to a nearby (nearby for him anyway) and left them there only to run back.  On his 4th trip to the beach he ran past a ice cream selling place and the clerk there experienced a sudden gust and when it passed there was money next to the cash register and a few missing cones and it looked like a scoop had been used.  He scratched his head, having no idea what had happened, shrugged and rung the money up as a sale.

All the running had made Gary hungry and he thought taking a quarter of a second to get himself a few ice cream cones and eating them would stave off the hunger from all the running around.  He'd eat more healthily when he had more time.

"Whoa!" Oliver exclaimed as he got rolled along by Arlene.

The Duke let out a magic breath to combat the bees.

"Heh heh, stingers," Belladonna chuckled.

"I may have to dive down!" Monstro called to the players.

"Oh crap," Kitty and Tiger gulped.

The three living planes had calculated the location of Gabriel's artillery position. They immediately swooped in. And were greeted by a hail of explosive and streamer shells.

-------------

Back at Monstro, a group of other planes were trying their best to keep the wasps from attacking the competitors. Clouds of harmless insect repellent swirled around as they doused everyone with a harmless lemon and orange scented plant oil in an attempt to ward the wasps off.

Slicks of reddish orange marred the water as additional planes dropped depth charges containing hot pepper sauce and spicy curry in an attempt to drive the jellyfish away.

Pink and blue streamers drifted through the air as Gabriel launched the streamer shells in an attempt to clog the planes' engines.

Gary continued to run around, trying to save as many as he could.   He picked up an item that looks like it would be a good club, he used it to smack the bees and wasps in the face as he ran past them at above mach 1, grabbing a person to save and move to the beach.
