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

Out of time and place

"It might be a while before they come back," Ruby reasoned, "Some of us should sleep so we can get some sleep."

Cleve nodded.

"Very well," Cleve said, "Dan, take a nap now. I'll guard this place. We might have to stay awake for a long time, and we'll need to use shifts."

Dan nodded, "That sounds like a good idea, sleeping in shifts." He said before he went to make an area where he could sleep and go to sleep.  "Goodnight and good luck." he said before he lay down to try to relax and go to sleep to try to get as much sleep as he could.

James easily caught up to Frank.

He suddenly saw a small fire in the distance. "Frank! There's a fire in the distance!"

He then ran towards the fire and when he arrived, he found Deimos huddled around the fire.

"James? What are you doing here?" he asked, throwing some wood on the fire.

Frank ran up to deimos and James as sirens wailed in the distance. "We should head back to the portal now," Frank said.

It was midnight in the Mysterious Beyond, and the stars were out. They all formed intricate patterns in the sky. Cleve loved observing them, and usually, he could identify all the constellations in the sky. However, the stars were arranged differently. This was no surprise to Cleve, who knew that he was in the time of the dinosaurs.

"The portal vanished," Deimos said, picking up his skewer and rack and sticking them in James's pack.

James thought a moment. "Maybe it's in an abandoned building."

Suddenly, his eyes caught a flash of blue light from the window of what appeared to be a derelict restraunt across the street. "There!"

He and Deimos then ran as fast as possible to the restruant.

When they arrived, they found that the door was boarded up.

Deimos threw himself through the door, which was not designed to take the impact of a 1,000 pound plus animal. The door literally exploded into splinters as Deimos crashed through it.

"Thanks! Owe you one!" James said running through the ruined door with shotgun in hand.

"No problem," Deimos said, picking himself off the ground. He winced from the pain of the blow. He entered after James.

Deimos then sniffed the air. He could smell rancid food. "This place smells. But I think we should split up. And since this is your time, let's take a few supplies with us."

James heard the sirens. "If we have time. I'll take this room."

"I'll take the back of the cave," Deimos said. He threw himself through the boarded up doors that led to the kitchen. Again, the doors splintered under his massive body.

Frank ran to the building nearly getting hit by a car while crossing the street. frank ran in the building. "I'll cover the door," Frank said.

"Hey Dan," Cleve suddenly whispered, "I just thought of something. What if they don't come back from this portal? One of us should check on the portal in the cave as well just to make sure."

Dan rolled over to be on his back and looked at Cleve, "That could be a good idea.  Or leave some sort of indicator to say we're out here.  like rocks in an arrow formation." He said thinking a moment before responding.  "Or one of us can remain in the cave near, but not to close, to the other portal."

James literally tore up the front of the resturuant looking for the portal.

Tables, chairs and other assorted objects were thrown aside as James opened every door he could find.

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

Deimos was in the kitchen. The smell of rotten food and rancid grease was overpowering to him.

Suddenly, he saw a blue flash emanating from the basement door. He opened the door and saw a swirling blue portal.

"Guys! I found it!" he shouted.

James immediately ran into the kitchen and saw some discarded pots, pans and other utensils that appeared to be in relatively good condition.

"Nice job, Deimos," James said.

Deimos nodded in thanks. "Got time to take supplies?"

"A little bit of time."

Deimos nodded and grabbed two of the nearest things he could - which happened to be a large stewpot and a baking tray. He then leapt into the swirling blue portal.

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

Deimos landed with a grunt by the lakeside. It was nighttime and the fire he lit was already burnt down to coals.

Cleve yelped with joy when he saw Deimo. "There's no need for that," Cleve yelled, "They're back! But... but where's Frank and James?"

"Hopefully right behind him." Dan said with hope they were as well as being happy to see Deimos again.  "How are you, and the others?" Dan asked Deimos.


"Me glad you ok, but where others?" Petrie asked.

"I hope they are here soon." Ducky said with some concern in her voice.  Spike wasn't aware of what was going on since he had gone to sleep.

James quickly gathered up what he could. Just some another stewpot and a frying pan. He also tossed some racks into the stewpot.

"Ready!" he said, leaping into the portal.

The sound of police officers entering the building could be heard.

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

"I'm find," Deimos said. "The others should be coming through soon."

As soon as he spoke, James landed with a grunt as Deimos helped him to his feet.

"Well, at least everyone's together," Deimos said, placing his "treasure" aside. "In any case, I'll carry the stuff back to the campsite in the cave."

He then picked up the pots and pans and headed off to the campsite in the cave.

"Pots and pans, huh?" Cleve said, "Great findings. The best part is that no one got injured. Let's head back to the cave."

Ruby and Chomper both nodded, feeling glad that no one got hurt.

"So, where did you go?" Ruby asked.

"Did you see any other dinosaurs?" Chomper asked.

Frank landed on his arm by the lake and looked around. "Well we're all back that's good to know," Frank said out loud.

"We went to the future," James said, not wanting to confuse Ruby and Chomper.

"We didn't see any other dinosaurs," Deimos replied, walking up to the group.

When they returned to the cave, both the main fire and the cooking fire was burnt out.

"I'll go wash our dishes and stuff; they look pretty dirty," James said. He then scooped up up some ash from the main campfire, placed it in the dirty stewpot and poured in some boiled water from the canteens. He started scrubbing with a partially burned stick.
 
Deimos shrugged. "I'll go get some food. You want some?"

He then exited the cave and headed to the lake.

Frank walked by Deimos on his way back to the cave. "I'm thinking that whatever is causing these time portals might be what we have to solve," Frank said to the others when he reached the cave.

Cleve pondered at Frank's theory. He might be right, Cleve thought.

"We don't want random personnel comming here," Cleve said, "Just imagine what would happen if the Nazis found this place. They'd get all the resources they need. Frank is right."

Chomper tugged at Deimo's arm. "How come you didn't see other dinosaurs in the future? We still exist, right?"
