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

Just before Lt. Martin did take off, she turned her attention to Rainbow Dash "Oh, and one more thing, no Sonic Rainboom either" she spoke with a little death glare of her own "See you at the finish line" she added in with a sneer before taking off after Lt. Martin as fast as her wings could take her.

"Yeah, I was, but the one with the popcorn was a little too weird, he didn't like me appearing where all the popcorn was and eating it" Pinkie answered back with a little giggle of her own.

"OKAY then GAME ON" Rainbow said flying as fast as her body could fly.  Dash absolutely hated losing and she wasn't gonna lose today not as long as she had anything to say about it.



Twilight protected her mane from getting all messed up from the speed again. "You know I don't understand that most people probably would enjoy creatures popping in and out of the food that they are selling and eating" Twilight said with just a hint of playful sarcasm she laughs a little.

Sure, Twilight was indeed keeping her mane from going all poofy, but that didn't stop Fluttershy's many from doing just that instead as it just poofed up, leaving Fluttershy a tad frightened again, her facial expression giving off just that as she dropped to the ground after her wings had locked up.

Pinkie in turn, tried to supress some laughter at what had just happened to Fluttershy's mane.

Twilight in turn tried to suppress some laughing and tried to help Fluttershy's mane not look so poofy.

As Gilda continued to race onwards, with Rainbow Dash neck-in-neck with her, she had to think of something, and fast for that matter, as she did not want to loose this race already.  A grin appeared across her face as she moved outwards and then right back in as hard as she could, in order to try and knock Rainbow off track and into one of the buildings bellow.

Lt. Martin realized that Gilda and Dash were almost catching up to her. And she could feel the air pushing against her airframe as she approached the sound barrier.

She smiled as she lit her afterburner, propelling herself past Mach 1. A sonicboom tore through the air as she did so and the shockwave caused a ring-shaped cloud to appear around her as water vapor suddenly condensed.

 "Yeeehaw!" she whooped as she continued to speed up even more.

When Gilda hit her Rainbow Dash tried to right herself but couldn't she smacked hard into  one of the buildings below. Rainbow basically slid down the building that she had hit and was on the ground to hurt to move. "She.....She..... She did that on purpose." Twilight Sparkle said knowing full well that that was no accident.

Gilda just gave off a laugh as Rainbow Dash was knocked to the ground "See ya at the finish line Dashie!" she called out to her as she headed off after Lt. Martin next, slowly, but surely, starting to catch up to the jet, claws at the ready, already getting an idea on how to get the jet out of the race next.  After all, Gilda was going to come first, no matter what.

And that's when the Griffin did it, she latched her front claws onto Lt. Martin and started to actually climb onto the jet.  She looked at Lt. Martin with a sligh smirk "Sorry, this race is mine" and with that, she kicked off from Lt. Martin, hoping to also off balance her as well, while trying to also get ahead in the race.

Pinkie watched on and gasped, grabbing Twilight by the face with her hooves "She's a cheater! I knew it!"

Lt. Martin lost some speed from that attack and nearly veered off course and into a building.

She frowned as she righted herself, banked and engaged afterburners. Soon she was back in the race.

"I'm tougher than you think," she muttered. Even though she was equipped with a 20mm cannon and some missiles, she refused to use them on the grounds that she wanted a fair race.

The living F-16 pushed her engine even harder. Soon, she was slightly above Mach 2 and could see the building that was the finish line.

"You cheating f---er!" Captain Fairchild shouted.

(ooc: Remember, Gilda did say that the building was the halfway point, she did say go around it and return to the starting line ;) )

Gilda's eyes narrowed as she glanced behind herself, seeing that Lt. Martin had not crashed yet "I'm not going to loose this race" she muttered to herself as she continued to fly as she too saw the building ahead, the halfway point.  Her ques quickly scanned the area, as if she was trying to find some way to keep herself ahead in the game, and in turn, to slow down Lt. Martin.

Lt. Martin disengaged afterburners, deployed airbrakes to slow down slightly. She then banked around the building at Mach 1.5, relit her afterburners and speed around back to the start line. Thanks to her specially designed airframe, she could take g forces that would kill organic pilots.

"See ya the finish line!" Lt. Martin called as she approached Mach 2.

Gilda's eyes narrowed at Lt. Martin whom had gotten ahead "Alright, new tactic...." and with that, she took off into the clouds, rushing along them as she did her best to get as close as she could to the jet before she would then actually start kicking clouds out from the sky and right towards Lt. Martin's general direction.

She was going to get ahead in this race still, and it would still be, no matter what to her.  This would be one thing she would hope would finally cause the jet to crash by at least distracting her enough to do so.

"She is cheating." Kane said, the leader of the Kung Fu Dino Posse.  "Why do they let it continue?" He asked he said as he watched through some binoculars & his cap on backwards like usual, when he wore a cap.

"Maybe here folks are required to cheat, or maybe it is permitted. " Lucy the female triceraptops said.  

"Where did Edgar go?" kane asked.

"I think to get something to drink." Lucy said.

Lt. Martin barreled through one cloud only to fly into another. Each cloud she struck sapped her speed thanks to the magic that Gilda possessed.

Thinking quickly, she increased her altitude and flew over Gilda but the clouds formed a veritable minefield.

"All right, time to deploy some firepower," she said with a smirk. She opened up with her 20 mm cannon. Streaks of red tracer fire stitched the air as they tore through the clouds.

Through a gap in the clouds that she had opened in front of her, she could see Gilda. She then lit her afterburners and sped through the gap in the cloudbank just before it closed shut.

"All right, since you decided to race dirty, I'm going to give you a taste of your own medicine!" Lt. Martin shouted. She then fired off a quick burst of 20 mm rounds in Gilda's general direction.

"It was very fun, baba," Sagwa smiled.

"We're happy to hear that," Mama Miao purred, nuzzling her mate.

"And we learned some magic too," Sheegwa added.

"Nothing here, may as well head over to where the others are." Droopy said, "They must have arrived by now.  Sorry this lead to nothing." Droopy said to Blabber Mouse.

"It's ok, I was getting bored waiting for Snooper to get back.  Maybe I"ll do some sightseeing before I call Jason for a lift back home." Blabber mouse said.

"At least that no good Skor is not here." Kane said.

"At least as far as we know.  No telling what evil he is planning." Lucy the triceraptos said.

Gilda noticed some with Lt. Martin when she attempted to slow her down with the clouds, that it did have an effect on her.  Her suspitions were pretty much confirmed when Lt. Martin fired through the clouds before showing herself to the Griffin.

Although, Gilda had to move as Lt. Martin opened fire on her, moving into the clouds herself, which was still risky enough as it was, as Gilda could not see a thing in front of her as she continued to fly forwards "Still going to win this little race, one way or another, not be out flown by a stupid jet"
