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

the bike wasn't the only thing stuck in this spirit, in fact, removing the bike sent other stuff gushing out of the spirit, all sorts of junk and debris, it poured out off the tub and covered the staff. the  debris continued shootinmg out until it covered nearly the entire room, up to several feet. the water slowly receded , revealing  tiny specks of a sparkly substance. ko looked to see what was left pof the spirit, to his amaxement, there was nothing..

Jason shrugged, "I guess we'll have to explore, since I don't see a map on the walls." Jason said.   They started to walk down the wallway.  

"Maybe some ambient sounds may give us a clue where to go next." Jason said.

"I hope so." Jake said.

"Yes mam," Ri bowed respectfully, heading away from the tub.

.................

"Glad that mess it cleared up," Baloo said to Sneed, the bears had overheard bout the incident up above.

Alan, who had been swept against the wall, observed the spirit's departure as he willed himself to get to his feet. He had heard Zira order Ko and Ri to repair the roof and he decided that he should help out.

"It must be nice being one of the spirits," Ri said, helping her brother on the roof.

........................

"Shingles on the way!!!" Baloo called, sending them up a magic tube of bamboo.

Jason, Guilmon & Jake walked along the corridor or hallway on the 2nd floor, seeing what was up there.  

"I wonder how long it will take to get the stink out." Jake said.

Jason shrugged, "may be fairly quick, or it may take a while, depends on quite a few factors." He said.

Yeah, I guess Ko agreed as they began to pry up the old shingle by paw.. " Still I would pick going home, over becoming a spirit.. I miss mom and dad" He sighed as he pried up another shingle..
- vitani was supervising the cleanup of the inside of the bathhouse when zira came up to her " Vitani go up to the roof and keep an eye on Ko Ri and the human.. tell them I only want the green tiles pulled up.. if they protest.. dump these on them ' Zira gestured and two buckets of some unknown substance appeared on the floor.. ' alright mom, i'll get on it right away..vitani sighed picking up the buckets and walking up towards the steps.. ' why do i have to watch those two? she muttered..

"I came here for a bath, since I read about the place.  Now what we I'll do." Jake asked a bit put out by it.  

"Circumstances happen.  As for a public bath type thing.  I can take you to see an authentic roman bath.  You can see a real roman city during the height of the roman empire." Jason said.

"No way, time travel will get me in trouble, like it did last time." Jake said waving his hands.

"I'm a professional.  My tardis is just outside.  We can fly to the outside and avoid the stink downstairs.  I know a spell to let is phase through the wall." Jason said.

"Yay, I get to have roman food again." Guilmon said, smiling and clapping his hands together.

"What can Nuka and I do, mother?" Kovu smiled cutely, he was always the obedient one among Scar and Zira's cubs.

"Let's just keep a rhythm going with this," Ri said to Ko, helping with the shingles.

"Don't be sarcastic," Ri frowned, "Bad things might happen to you...."

yes, bad stuff, like being pushed off the roof, and at this height, that would be all she wrote for you" vitani said " just keep replacing the tiles, and no backtalk or I'll dump this stuff on you. I don't even know what it is, but its probably something you don't want on you..' vitani said as a fresh supply of tiles appeared.. ' and you'd best pick up the pace, those clouds don;t look very inviting..

"Agreed," Ri nodded, the little lioness quickly picking up her pace and replacing shingles as fast as her paws let her.

.........................

"At least there's no commotion down here," Baloo told himself.

Vitani watched the two other cubs pull out and replace most of the tiles when it began to rain.. " alright thats enough.. lets inside before it starts pouring.. " come come on..
_ Zira meanwhile had had an idea "We should have a big feast" she said to Scar. " it should have all the spirits favorite foods and might include some of the lazy workers as well unless they stop goofing off..

"Ah, yes, they've been loyal customers who've made us rich," Scar smirked, "Though, do you know what they prefer to eat?"
