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

"Thanks I've really been trying to work on that." Forestgrove said.

Meanwhile, at the barn, Fluttershy gently tapped on the door a few times.
"Um...A-applejack?  Are you or Pinkie in there...?"
She asked quietly...

Forest grove sat down "Hey Twilight do you think you could help me a bit on mastering some of my magic?" Forestgrove asked.

"Shall we head over to the other party?" Spike said.  "Or just hang around here?" Spike asked looking around at those present.

Twilight giggled at hearing Forest Grove ask his question. "I would be honored to help a fellow unicorn master their magic Forest Grove, ."

The door to the Sugar Cube opened and a voice called out to the group gathered inside. "Ya know, I heard most spells only work on a willing pony, and that one next to you is so full of hate and spite that I'm surprised anyone is even talking to him. Let alone giving him food..."

Twilight was about to address the new arrival standing in the doorway, but stopped as she noticed something moving out of the corner of her eyes. The object was sliding across the floor and Twilight barely had enough time to grab Spike and pull him to safety.

A table collided with the door and the wall around it, effectively destroying all of it. As the dust settled, Thunderclap could be seen with his eyes aglow and his face locked in a horrid glare at the pony who was now standing next to the ruined door to the shop. "My.... SISTER IS HERE?!" he cried aloud as he took a step forward.

As soon as the table started sliding across the floor, Haru jumped out of the way, quickly raising up several barriers around his friends, then stepping forwards to join Thunderclap.
"Listen, I don't know who you are, or what you have against your brother, but I won't let you hurt him."
He said confidently, his wooden sword hovering behind himself before moving to a ready position...

Forestgrove scratched his head with his hoof. "What do you mean" he asked the newcommer.

((Sorry that I haven't been active in this guys! I've been really busy!))

Daliya gasped at Thunderclap's outburst. So that was his sister? She also just watched as Haru created barriers around them, and how he stood up for the grey Pony.

"Seems not a nice person at all.  And causing all this mess." Myrdinn said looking around at the mess that had been created.  During that he had put up an invisible effect so the debris just barely miss him, so as to not show off.

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

"Thankis." He said to Twilight Sparke.  

"Sounds like someone else who needs to take a chill pill." Spike said.

Forestgrove grunted "I just hope she helps cleans up the place." he wispered to twilight.

Twilight nodded at Forestgrove's comment still too stunned and wanting to hear exactly what was going on.

Thunderclap took a single step forward and have a deep concentrated almost forced frown as he spoke. "YOU.... you just can't leave me alone... can you sister?! WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME!" he cried with a stomp of his hoof, cracking and splitting the wooden floor under him.

The pony standing where the wall and door to Sugar Cube corner just smiled deviously at Thunderclap. "now little brother, is that anyway to greet me when I have good news?" she asked in mock politeness.

Twilight looked between the two ponies and was surprised to see so few similarities between the two. Where Thunderclap was a light grey with black mane and tail, his sister was a pale sky blue with white mane and tail holding silver highlights. She then cleared her throat and asked, "If you really are Thunderclaps sister, could you perhaps tell us your name?"

"Certainly" She replied as she took a dainty pose. "My name is simply Rainrunner." she said with an air of importance in her voice.

Haru stared at Rainrunner adamantly.
"Say what you came here for then."
He said coldly, his sword lowering slightly...

"Cause she likes to cause mischief and mayhem." Spike said.  

Myrdinn remained silent, keeping an eye on the new arrival in case she would try to do anything next and wondering what she would do next.

Rainrunner sat down and simply smiled at the group. "My my, such hostility. But I suppose my little brother has that effect on other ponies." she sighed quietly and then took a breath before speaking. "Thunderclap my brother, it would seem you and I are no longer needed in our home village. So the mayor decided to let me come find you and give you the good news. And that means we can try to do what we were meant to!"

Thunderclap stood absolutely stock still, taking only the basic effort of breathing.

Twilight however could feel the tension in the air and took a step back while dragging Haru by his tail. But then something else caught her attention outside Sugar Cube Corner and looked up at the sky as it turned black and began to shoot thunder and streak Lightning. "Ummm.... perhaps we should get to that party Applejack is throwing... ya know, so we don't get stuck here..." uttered Twilight in the hopes that somepony would take her advice.

Rainrunner laughed lightly as she spoke. "So, still up to your old tricks I see little brother. Please stop the light show and just admit I am better."

Thunderclap still remained silent but his gaze intensified as he stared at his older sister. But the storm over Ponyvillie disappeared and a single storm cloud appeared over Thunderclaps head again shooting mini bolts of lightning.

Haru looked back at Twilight, smiling a little.
"Sorry, Twi.  I'll try to make it to the party, but I'm not gonna leave a friend when they're upset."
He said with a soft grin, then stood next to Thunderclap, giving him a genuinely warm-hearted nod.

"Yes, let's go." Myrdinn said, wanting to get to the party before the rain and away from Rainrunner.

"Yes, we can leave the party pooper here." Spike said, hoping he saw no more of Rainrunner.

"That sounds like a good plan to to me!" forestgrove said, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

I agree!" Daliya expressed as well, not liking the vibe that she sensed from Rainrunner
