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

"If they don't see us, then we won't get in any trouble. What could possibly go wrong?" Cera retorted in her usual boastful manner. She started to march out of the cave, expecting her friends to follow her. She turned around and said "Come on!"

"I think we're getting close to the wreckage!" Alan told the group. He hadn't been to this area in a long time, but he still knew the general area the wreckage was in. He hoped it wouldn't take him long to find the exact spot.

Littlefoot: "Look, Chomper. You're uncle is dead, and it's just right for your friends to be there for you. You'd be there if someone we know died, right?"

Chomper: "Well, sure I would!"

Spike started to follow Cera with Ducky and Petrie riding on his back.  

"It may be fun, it may it may." Ducky said.  

"Me hope there no mean sharp tooths or other danger stuff." Petrie said.

"Maybe they have dealt with dangers before we get to where they are." Ducky said to Petrie.

"You have a good sniffer, right Diemos?" Cera asked. "You could help us find the humans!"

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

Adam walked around for a while, before he eyed the wreckage. "Here it is! And it looks like it might be the 109! At least it does to me, because it looks different from my wreckage."

Ruby and Chomper decided to follow. Just in case Cera did get herself into a tight situation, they could always help. It seemed that they can escape all the peril in the world as long as they were together.

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

"A forest, huh," Cleve said, "Well, I can't guarantee, but there might have been a secret lab underneath the forest. Did you notice anything strange before you disappeared? You know, strange things like spinning compasses, bad radio transmission, and unresponsive controls? Those are the signs..."

On hearing Adam's exclamation, Cleve dashed through the bushes towards the direction Adam pointed in and came face-to-face with the wreckage of the 109. Cleve was certain that the airplane was a 109. The pilot had somehow managed to land the machine somewhat intact in the middle of a forest. The left wingtip was sheared off, and the left landing gear was missing. The propellers were all bent and destroyed, and the aircraft balanced on its nose and right landing gear. The flaps were fully extended, and the pilot seemed glided to a fairly soft landing.

"The pilot ran out of fuel," Cleve stated with authority, "He lowered the flaps to glide as far as he could. When he reached the clearing, he tried to land his plane. But one of his wingtips struck a tree in the forest, and the came down hard on his left side. The left gear snapped, and the entire plane fell on its nose. Still, I believe that the guns will be salvagable. We might even find the body of the pilot. He might have made it out of this alive."

Frank ran up follwing cleve to the wreckage of the 109. "If the pilot is still alive and we find him just let me do the talking and if not, I'll read whatever documents that we can find." Frank said.

"I don't think there are any other survivors, or I would have found them a long time ago." Adam said.

"There isn't that much rust on this plane," Cleve noticed, "Compared to the Avengers, it seems to have just recently arrived. Maybe it arrived at the same time as you, Frank."

Cleve neared the 109 and looked at the canon in the nose. It went all the way through the propeller and looked difficult to salvage.

"I don't know how to get the cannon off though," Cleve said, "It seems to extend all the way from just in front of the cockpit to the propeller. Then again, you probably know more than I do."

"The entire engine block will need to be removed since the cannon runs through it to the prop hub." Frank said.

"So we need to lift the entire engine?" Cleve asked, "I really don't know how we're supposed to do that."

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

"I can pick up the sents of the humans too," Chomper claimed, "I have a good sniffer too." Chomper sniffed the ground and quickly picked up Theo's scent. "I picked up Theo's scent," Chomper said, "follow me." Chomper walked off, sniffing the ground for Theo's scent.

"I have no idea if we had some heavy lifting equipment we would be able to lift it." Frank said. "Do you think a fully grown longneck would be able to lift the engine?"

Deimos nodded. He then took several sniffs of the air. He got the faint scent of Cleve. He then put his nose to the ground and started sniffing. "I  got Frank's scent too! Frank and Theo must be looking for those 'planes'."

The moon was high enough that it provided all the light needed for them to see.

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

Theo ignored Cleve and Frank as he continued looking for clues behind them. His torch had burnt out so he had to rely on the watery light that came in through the canopy and his other senses. He felt his foot snag on something. He picked it up and felt it. It felt like a vine but it was ribbed in a spiral pattern. He then used his torch to trace it up into the trees. He gave it a tug. Something was at the end of it!

He the pulled on the "vine", straining with all his might. Suddenly, the "vine" gave, sending Theo sprawling with a yelp. At the same time, something landed on the forest floor with a thump. Not something heavy alike an engine but something softer like a backpack...or a body.

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

"Fish stew?" James asked, offering a bowl to Dan. He then ladled out his own portion and sipped the hot stew.

(OOC - I will let someone else decide what Theo's dislodged.)

"Thanks." Dan said, accepting the stew and went to sit down to start sipping the fish stew.  "It's very well made." He said.

----

"Good, those 2 must be with the others." Ducky said nodding.  "Will it be easy to follow them with your sniffers?" She asked hoping they would be able to easily follow them.  

"Me hope they no go away from group or get into trouble." Petrie said.

"When we get close to them, we should be sneaky, so they won't see us" Cera said.

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

Adam heard the yelping of Theo, and ran back to him. "Are you ok?" He wasn't paying attention to whatever had just fallen onto the ground.

"Thanks," James said. He handed a tray with some toasted treestars to Dan. "Try these with the stew. Dried them on a metal tray over a fire."

He took a leaf and placed it in the stew.

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

Theo got back to his feet. "Yeah but I think something fell out of the tree when I pulled that vine."

He picked up his now extinguished torch, sighed and ground it into the dirt.

Ducky nodded, "When we get close we will have to be very sneaky, very very sneaky." Ducky said.

"Extra sneaky, so they no will hear or sniff us." Petrie said.  

'it is fun so far, it is, it is." Ducky said nodding.


--------

"Thanks, I've not tried any of those." Dan said as he took one of the toasted treestars to try it in some of the stew to see how it tasted.

Cleve saw something brown in the bushes and grabbed a stick to pick it up. He lifted it up and placed it on the ground in front of him. It was a piece of clothing. Cleve unfolded it and put it on the ground again. "Frank," Cleve asked, "Does this look like a Luftwaffe uniform jacket to you?"

Frank walked over and studied the jacket for a moment. "It is a Luftwaffe uniform jacket the rank is the equal to that of a Major in the United States Army Air Force." Frank said.

"It definitely belongs to the German Pilot," Cleve said, "He probably survived the landing and climbed that tree to get a panorama of the area."
