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

Lt. Martin was the first to arrive. At her speed, a sonic boom ripped through the air as she slowed down and began circling the two disabled buses.

"Please stay in your vehicles and remain calm! Help is on the way!" she said, as the scout plane radioed the wizard.

A few minutes later, Captain Fairchild began circling the area, looking for any other threats to the travelers.

Major Lockie was the last to arrive thanks to his great size and weight. He lowered a large rescue cage from his rear hold. It was connected to something inside him by a large cable. "Everyone get inside! I'll fly you to safety!" he yelled over the noise of his massive turboprop engines.

Major Lockie reeled the cage back into his hold as he and Captain Fairchild flew off to search for more areas covered in dip.

A stretch of road, several miles ahead glistened. Major Lockie scanned the road with his suite of electronics and confirmed that it was dip. Unfortunately, they could to speak loud enough for the people in the cars below them to hear. And they had no way to communicate the danger to them.

Captain Fairchild opened fire on the dip covered road with his gatling gun. The dip burst into flames as his incendiary 30 mm rounds struck the pavement, giving off a disgusting oily black smoke.

Unbeknownst to him, the dip that covered the road was a new formulation that contained an metal based compound that burned before the dip did, giving the illusion that the dip was being safely burned off. Granted it could be burned off but was much more fire resistant than normal dip.

the droopy bus was next to pass through the dip field, but tracks to the chance, the bus drove through areas that had already been driven through by the earlier busses, and avoided getting its tires blown
- be careful up ahead " Stripetail said to the driver as they headed up a bend in the road ' there's dip the road.. ' b the then radioed the planes ahead ' burn in the dip that the others have passed through..
' he then communicated to scooby through his ring ' be very careful scooby ' tyeres dip on the road ahead ' that stuff will eat away at your tires until they are nothing..
 - rap, really/ scooby shiuddered ' re rould rarmor rup, rhen?
 If you want.. just to be safe' scooby replied.

Lt. Martin dropped an incendiary bomb on the first dip puddle. This was a normal dip that easily combusted with no traces. She sped off to avoid inhaling the acrid smoke produced by its combustion.

the scooby bus soon passed through the area formed by dip then stopped to check on the others' the mystery machine stopped briefly then went on ahead. after an hour or so, they came to the second area that had been saturated by dip, but this was much more potent. as the bus entered it. it sloshed up onto the van and began eating a hole in it. the tires ruptured and the van careened towards the guardrail, hitting it, and flipping over before breaking through, the passenger windows shattered and arlene was now handing out over the side of the cliff/ Guys? Help me.. please" she cried' just hold on.. guys you ok? dixie asked Scooby Dee and scooby who both nodded.. ' i've just got a lump on my head.. thats all dee said.. ' ok, get out, both of you.. i've got to reach arlene ' dixie said, as scooby and scooby dee crawled out of the van. dixie climbed up to arlene but as she did so her weight caused the van to shift and knock past arlene. dixie grabbed the belt strap and hung on
 the strap was the only thing keep them from falling.it was them the residual dip dripped onto the strap and began eating away at it. ' ahh.. arlene screamed. as she felt the strap give way. '  both girls tumbled out through the passenger window and plunged down off the cliff  DIXIe! RIXIe, Rarrene1" Scooby and Scooby Dee cried in shock and horror as they saw them fall out..
' armor up! Dixie cried out in fear.. the armor activated, alklthough she wasn't sure if this would do gher any good, if the armor was powerful enough to save her from the fall, she woulkd be writing stripetail a huge thank you card.. among several other things.. Arlene grabbed onto her and hung on as best she could ' get on my back, so at least you won't get the full force of the blow.. Dixie said through her helmet
 they were approaching the tree line, dixie tried to hang on, to a branch but the force on her fall was such that the branch snapped. causing them to fall yet again. arlene arlene managed to grab onto a branch by herself anbut dixie wasn't so fortunate. she plowed into the ground.. hard the only reason she wasn';t killed instantly was due to the strong magic the armor contained. she was alive.. but unconscious..
 Dixie1 Dixie Arlene cried out.. as she climbed down and ran over to her.. ' can you hear me! Dixie!

"Oh dear, I hope no one was hurt." Droopy said. "I wonder if the others need a lift on our bus, or if theirs can be easily fixed."


"Nasty Stuff." Wally said.  

"Maybe they can tear up the parts of the road that are not covered by the dip and stretch them together thus bypassing it.  That works in some toon areas.  Not any of the serious animated ones." Gary said, knowing quite a bit about toon physics due to his traveling around in his various forms off and on since the 50's.

Arlene set it aside then decide how toget her awake, toss water on her. do the heimlich or mouth to mouth.. she decided to try dousing her with water first..

"Do they have enough spare tires and equipment to jack the busses up?" Gary asked, wondering if he'd need to change to his space dragon form.  His larges form that had hands that he could turn into, though doing so would reveal that, at least, this, his eagle form, could change into a space dragon.  Though not what he really was.   Maybe if it came up he could use one of his fake magic potions to pass it off as a magic potion he had instead of his ability to assume other forms.  Or at least that this eagle could change to 1 other form.

Lt. Martin spotted the van lying off the road. She radioed Major Lockie along with some other living planes to help out.

She circled around the group. "Stay calm! Help is on the way!"

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

Meanwhile, Captain Fairchild was relegated to finding and destroying dip puddles with his 30 mm cannon and incendiary rockets. This didn't bother him too much; he loved using his built-in weaponry.

Another dip pool in an intersection was burnt away - courtesy of an incendiary rocket.

Arlene  gabbed the helmet and ran over towards a small stream that was flowing some distance away she filled it as much as she could then went over and dumped it in  Dixies face. the water was cold, but did not cause her to wake.. ' next she tried to go the heimlich by pressing in under  Dixie's chest. she tried that for a few minutes, then realized it wasn't working. she  felt around for a pulse, and finally found one in Dixies neck. ' ok, that means you're alive, lets try mouth to mouth now. she put her lips to Dixie's and breathed iinto her mouth for a minute or two.. then decide to go get some more water. She picked up the helmet and returned, and poured some into dixies mouth, before dumping the rest on her face. This finally worked as Dixie opened her eyes and coughed up blood.. ' gwad.. where.. where are we? And Why is my face so cold? she murmured. " we're in a valley.. where exactly.. i have no idea.. arlene said.. 'you were knocked out from the fall. i tried dumping water on you, then doing the heimlich and finally umm.. did mouth to mouth..'
- its perfectly alright Arlene.. just thanks for saving me.. ' ' no, you saved me' arlene said ' i'd be dead if it wasn't for you  helping me. '  Arlene  gave her a small grin.  .."well ..now we need to find someway back to the road.. do you have my helmet?' yeah i do' arlene said giving it to her.. ' dixie put it back on..' ..well scooby and Dee will be panicking.. I'd better call them with my ring Dixie said,  and then began to speak to her ring " stripetail/ scooby? its Dixie/ we're ok... we're just a longways down.. i was knocked unconscious for a bit, but Arlene woke me by dumping water on me.. Just tell us where the nearest road is and we'll make our way towards there..
Rixie? Scoobys reply came in faintly ' rank rawd rou're rarive.. rhe ran.. ris rot.. re;ll rave ro ride rhe rus.. ry rand ret ro reen river.. re rave rhe ropening rerents.. rut rit ris rip.. rit ray rake ra rahile.. ri'll rell riperail.. rust ret roving rowards rhe road..ry rand rind rome rood roo , ro rou rirls raren't rungry..'
 i will honey. Dixie out" dixie said ending the conversation.. ' we need to get moving, arlene.. lead the way.. she said as the two began making thier way along the stream.

Droopy, Gary and Wally got off of their bus to head over to the bus that needed their help to lift it.  

"Guess I can use this potion a dragon gave me." Gary said, taking out what looked like a small potion, but was a fake, mainly water that looked like a potion.  He drank this and changed to his space dragon form, not used since he had been in some video games or other work with the dragon.  

Gary then went over to the bus and did his best to try to lift the end of the bus so the tires could be changed.

"Wow, that is some potion.  I wonder if I could get some." Wally said looking up at what Gary had turned into.

It was dip" replied the driver of the Rottens bus.. ' blew out our tires and turned them to tar..  luckily no one aboard was hurt..
