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

"What the?!" Oliver exclaimed, caught off guard by Alphas' sudden move, "Let me go!" He tried to bite and claw his way free, but the big bear had a surprisingly strong grip. "Help me!" he called to Arlene and the others.

"Unhand that kitten, you bear!" Kitty frowned. She then whispered to her friends, "Don't worry, look at his gut, he can't run far....." she said with optimism.

For an instant. Scooby Dixie and arlene stood in place as Alphas swiped oliver and ran in the opposite ' My Gawd! Oliver!' arlene yelled . stop that bear! " scooby began running after the bear, but the bear was faster than he was , and knew the area better. " firE! Scooby said pointing his ring at the bear and fireball formed and was cast in the general direction of the bear.  the fireball missed wildly and was doused by the damp area of the jungle.
_
 scooby! do you wat to set the entire jungle on fire? Fire is out! Dixie rebuked him ' If You hit Oliver, you won't be getting any Christmas cards from me! Arlene said tersely " um.. Arlene you did agree to live with us " Dixie said as they raced after Alphas ' well.. um.. I'll give him coal.. or something.. anyway.. Try something else.. like .. ice.. or something" arlene said as they began climbing up a hill. above them alphas was care freely leaping from tree to tree, oliver stuffed in his mouth.

"Mother! Mr Scooby! someone help me!" Oliver cried as he was balanced between Alphas' jaws. It was too everyone's shock just how agile and swift the bear was despite his massive girth. He could feel the hungry bear's tongue lick him over as he did almost ballet level graceful leaps between the trees with his kitten hostage.

"I'll follow him on the ground!" Kitty called, "You get up the trees and chase him at that elevation!" the group knew they had to act fast if they wanted to save Oliver. Alphas was more dangerous then they had thought

Scooby and dixie climbed up into a  nearby tree and began swinging from vines. by no means, were they excellent swingers, indeed, the pair were barely making it from vine to vine. Arlene ran alongside Kitty on the ground trying desperately to catch up to the bear carrying the kitten away. Scooby moaned in for as he swung and barely missed a nearby tree.

"Who are you?!" Oliver cried to Apollos as the bear was shockingly gaining a lead over all the dogs and cats. He figured if could at least keep the bear talking, he could delay himself being eaten, even if only briefly.

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

"He is fast for a fat bear," Kitty panted, not wanting to lose sight of the nimble huge beast that had captured Oliver and was fleeing.

ICE!' dixie yelled and sent a pair of shards at Alphas, they stuck into trees, and quickly melted in the hot jungle.
_
 hmm. well names alphas , my little morsel ' Alphas said, his tongue slobbering over oliver as he talked. ' as for why i have granted you. i was hungry and you were available.. He smirked as ice shards flew past him, he briefly glanced behind to see both Great danes summoning magic and firing ice shards at him ' Oh Ho! he laughed ' this is new! Not any have tried using magic to stop me" he laughed.

"Keep firing!" Oliver called to the great danes who knew magic, "Don't let him take me!" The kitten knew he could not get out of this bear's mouth by himself, and the distance between them and the grownups was steadily increasing.

"But why me?!" he cried next to the bear.

"He's too high up for me to scratch," Kitty frowned as she tried leaping up, but didn't get halfway up to where Alphas was carrying the captive Oliver.

Hes a bear Kitty! Arlene panted as she kept a desperate view of the disappearing bear. " You can't do much to him, he's too big! he makes scooby look tiny.! Fear was clearly written on her face, she was scared, both for oliver, and herself.
-
 Tiger slogged behind them, sweat streaming down his back from the exertion. If.. onLy.. I.. wasn't so plump.. i Could Catch him " he wheezed.
_ likE I sais, you were available ' Alphas grinned. ' nothing more than that..' a lucky ice shot caught the bear in the left leg and spread around the leg, up to the knee. ' the bear stopped and pawed at the cold ice that now surrounded his knee. he tried to move the leg, but found it laborious. ' well.. well.  seems i'm one legged for now.. no matter ' the bear said.

"What do you mean no matter?" Oliver said, a smirk finally appearing on his face, "You've been slowed down! My mom and her friends will rescue me really soon. The kitten really was underestimating how agile and flexible Alphas could be.....

"I'm losing sight of him," Kitty panted nervously, as Alphas was a decent distance ahead when the ice blast hit. Everyone was afraid.

Slowed Down? for now, my little snacking, but not for too long. we are in the jungle, where it is hot regularly. thus ice will melt rather quickly in this heat i figure it will take 10, maybe 15 minutes before the ice around my leg melts and i'll be fully able to move again  however the way your family seems to doing on those vines.. well, they aren't going to catch me any time soon. " Alphas said. " so.. don't get your hopes up.

Oliver could only gulp upon hearing that little update. "Please don't eat me," he resorted to begging Alphas, "I want to love, Mr. Bear" He made some extrmely adorable sad looking eyes as a tool of persuasion.

You're not the first to beg for your skin dear kitten.' alphas said " unfortunately my hunger is greater than my mercy. So, no. once i get home you're going in with some potatoes and broth, with maybe some salt thrown in ' alphas said, as he swing with his arm, his frozen leg dragging behind.

"Uh oh," Oliver gulped upon hearing this news, "HHHHHEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!" he cied out, hoping the others could still hear him.

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

Kitty had trained ears, so she could hear the direction of Oliver's voice, "Head slightly left," she called to the others, as she could determine Alphas' change in direction.

Oliver looked and saw that Alphas had reached a cave, ie his home. The bear had a tv, a bed, and a kitchen that was furnished rather fancily. "Please let me go sir," Oliver begged once again, "I'm not that big of a snack anyways...."

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

"We're coming up to a big cave wall," Kitty informed.

you do, just fine' Alphas said, and oliver was put on a plate on a table in the kitchen. Then, an apple was shoved into his mouth. finally alphas picked up the gagged kitten and shoved himninto his mouth.
-
 by the time scooby an Dixie reached the cave alphas had finished his lunch and had decided to take a nap to allow hi food to digest.

"Oh good lord," Kitty whispered when they got into the cave, "He must've swallowed him!"

The cats and dogs were about to burst into tears when suddenly they heard a rumbling noise coming from the bear's gut.

"He;s......alive," Kitty realized.

" so how do we get him out? She asked the cats.Arlene had her head in her paws

"Someone's gonna have to go inside that bear," Kitty realized, "Someone who can move very slyly."

"And we better act fast," Tiger nodded, "I can still hear Oliver in there."

"Someone, help!" Oliver called from within the bears belly, but his voice was obviously muffled, but the adults could vaguely hear him.

Droopy walked around looking around at the surroundings.  "Simply marvelous." He said aloud.  


"I do heartily agree."  Wally Gator said. "Not often you see such a sight as that. "

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

"Maybe they have new flavors of ice cream we've not tried yet here." Knothtead said to Splinter.
