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

One pilot ejected as a streamer shell clogged his plane's engines, causing it to enter a spiral. Unfortunately, the wasps began attacking him. A plume of lemon scented oil drifted from a living plane's sprayers. Luckily, his goggles and mask kept the spray away from his eyes and mouth.

-----------

One Weasel screamed as a rocket blew him off a cliff.

"I think we're done here." Gabriel ordered her troops back into the mobile base as rockets and bombs began impacting around them.

The base's wheels churned and threw up a massive dust cloud as it sped down the road. Thanks to Toon logic, the mortars left behind did not seem to run out of ammo. Indeed, they had fired over one hundred rounds of assorted shells and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

A salvo of 30 mm rounds from Captain Fairchild destroyed one mortar while Major Lockie blasted a cluster of them with his 105 mm cannon. His props were covered with streamers but they didn't seem to affect him.

"Ah, s---!" A streamer shell landed straight in Captain Fairchild's right engine. He wheeled around and headed for Monstro. The living plane's damaged engine trailed smoke and bits of shredded streamers.

With the people saved that he thought he could easily save he thought he should try to do something about the wasps.  He had an idea.  He had not tried it over on water and thought water would be drawn in also.  

He took of running and circled around a large area where the wasps were.  He then started to run faster, going as fast as he could in a circle.  This caused a wind to rise up.  The wind started to form into a tornado that started to draw in the wasps in the area and some water as well.  He was hoping this would take care of as many of the wasps as he could. Once the tornado was formed he then started to take it far out from where it was, well away from anyone.

Oliver once again clung to Arlene's leg in terror as everything was transpiring.

"I'm gonna have o dive!" Monstro called to those in the contest.

"Oh crud!" Tiger exclaimed, readying to avoid falling.

Belladonna, her cousin, and the Duke took to the skies

Gary saw what was going on and what Stripetail said.  Though he decided to stay to help.  He reached into a pocket searching for a bit as he then found what he was looking for, "aha, animation mistake." he said, and tossed it at the team bus so it looked like he was already on the bus sitting and looing out the window, like sometimes happens in animation mistakes. He knew of a pysicist wizard type who had studdied how to harness certain things like plot oversights, animation mistakes, ect.  Though one could only use such things sparringly.

Then he ran off to a nearby alley.  once there he closed his eyes to concentrate, on something he had not reallly done in many decades but he would be immune to dip this way.  He was finally able to switch back to his normal human form, that still looked 18.  

He then went to grab a family not to far off.  "if you all want to live grab onto me and close your eyes."

"why, you a super hero or something?" a kid asked.

"unless you want to see a all white void." he said as he reached into a pocket and the family not having any other idea what to do grabbed into him as he pulled out an odd looking hook thing.  "Sprocket hook, it'll take us away from here." he said as he reached up and yanked down, getting pulled out of the film strip as they passed what looked like giant sprockets as if they were leaving a film.

"you mean this is all just some kinda movie we were in?" the father asked.

"no, it's a type of magic, mixed with cartoon logic and physics, made in the 1930's but still works nowadays, if not overused." he said.  Once out he then reached back and yanked it forward so the tip flew way ahead and grabbed onto some point way ahead and pulled them along.  Once they got closer they could see some sort of palm trees and he pulled them into it.

"Where are we?" the mother asked.  Gary sniffed a bit.  "Smells like hawaii, not sure which island. Let's go and see shall we." He asked set off towards some buildings he saw a few blocks off.

Oliver clung hard to Arlene's leg as she ran for safety, "Run mom!" he called.

Kitty and Tiger were running together, havng gotten out of the water.

"Better ready my fireballs," Belladonna smirked.

"Quickly, everybody get into a bus."  Droopy said, "And take off once everyone's in the bus." He said, doing his best to shut out the horror of what was happening.  Wally got on the bus, horrified also but not knowing what to do.

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

Gary wrote down an address on a piece of paper and handed the father some money, not counting it.  "here, you're family will need this, and I've included the address if you want to repay the no interest loan." He said, knowing some don't like handouts.  While he wasn't rich by any means, he was comfortable, through having raced and done various things in his various forms over the decades.  

That done he ran back at top speed towards where the rest of the team and the other teams had been.  Once he got close he stopped along a beach a few miles outside where it was going on.  Evacuation was well underway he could see.   He found a large spot with no one around and pulled back his sleeve to reveal the same bracelet.  he would try to mentally change, but this was faster since mentally doing it took a type of mental relaxation and flexing a certain mental muscle.  

He used his special bracelet to change to his space dragon form.  Which looked a lot like Zok form the Herculoids, except he was red in color, unlike Zok's being green.  He was a bit out of practice, not having used this form much since the 80's during an act gig he had done.  or was it in the 90's during that full motion video fad in video games?  he wasn't sure which.  

Once that was done he took to the air and keeping very high in the air, where the air was very thin, flew to where the site was.  Seeing what was going on he used his eye and tail lasers to try to shoot down as many of the rockets as he could.

Oliver had landed near Stripetail, and knowing the seer was someone he could trust, quickly clung to him for security.

"Let's go everybody!" Kitty called, her and Tiger running.

"Hmph, the fun part ended soon," Belladonna frowned.

"I"m just glad we're on this bus, and the others are on the team busses, and we're all safe." Droopy said as he relaxed into his seat.  he breathed a sigh of relief.

"yea, safe for now at least." Wally said, a bit nervous and he fiddled with his tie.

Captain Fairchild was still flying alongside the buses even though one engine was trailing smoke and streamers. Behind him in the doomed village, rockets splattered dip and glue around. Houses melted or caught on fire.

Roads liquified and became puddles of burning ooze.

"Stripetail," Major Lockie radioed. "We need to stop at an airport, Captain Fairchild's right engine is damaged."

"Can you...tell my mom I'm ok," Oliver asked Stripetail, "She must be very worried."

Kitty meanwhile sat next to Tiger, who was eating seevral snacks to ease the stress. She smirked a bit as she saw her...."helmets" were still in good shape.

Once Gary say the buses and planes had left he did his best to not look at the remains of the town.  He flew out to the ocean and dove into the ocean.  Once in the ocean he dove down and switched to his high tech sci-fi car type form, and continued for a ways underwater then rose to the surface, heading towards the next destination.  He had picked this form since it could go for long distances and never tired.

the dread baron watched from his seat as they slowly made thier way through the jungle. ' we got everyone ' he said as the image of stripetail appeared next to him. ' blast it! we were actyually doing well for once too."
 We're finish the last two events in India before starting those 4 ' Stripetail replied.
- One by one all 4 teams reported in, as they headed out over the island of Jakarta and headed north towards Singapore. Arlene was relieved when Stripetail tolsd her that Oliver was with him, and that they wopuld stop to get more supplies in Singapore.

Meanwhile, two figures, one an anthropomorphic male Golden retriever mix and the other a 12-year old human boy with a shaved head with a blue arrow pointed down to his nose looked over the landscape, waiting for some action.

the scooby doobies bus stopped near a bridge, as Frankie had to switch on a fresh tire. turning around she saw the dog and boy sitting on a hill' Excuse me?' she called out ' i need a hand with switching out a flat tire. Could you help?' she asked, calling out to them..the sun was setting and it was getting dark. Frankie needed to switch out the tire as quickly as possible so they could make it to Singapore before midnight.

Aang was the first to stand. "My name is Aang, and I am the avatar. Of course I'll help. What do you need?" he said.
