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

"I'm sure the 4 of you can decide among yourselves the details." Jason said.

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

"Wow, that looks like a really old book." Spike said excited.  "Maybe I should take a note of it for Twilight." He said, then walked over to where Deimos was.  "It looks really old.  I wonder what it's about, have you looked inside it much?" He asked excitedly.

Deimos shook his head. "I didn't even open it because Mr. Bigmouth reported unusual magic signatures from it."

He gingerly passed the book to Spike. "Can you translate this or no?"

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

Captain Carson nodded. She looked behind her and saw a Mawashiian racer closing in on them. Ahead, a converging beam of lightning was fired from the Skylanders and it was closing in on them.

She swore softly. "Everyone, hold on!" She activated the engine boost and the ship surged forward just as the twin beams collided in a rather large explosion. She then pulled the ship into a hard bank, narrowly avoiding a large pillar. The armored engine nacelles on the bottom of the ship scraped the rocky obstacle.

Laude ended up being pushed out of the ring by Kovu.

"You both did good," Balto said to Kopa and Kovu, having watched from the crowd.

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

"I wonder how father's doing," Jing thought to herself as she won her first semi final match.

"Let me see." Spike said as he opened up the book, "Neat pictures." He said before he started to read the text.

Jason reached into a pocket to take out an open can of soda and sip from it, handing Guilmon another can of soda.

The move was sucvessful and managed to let the glider pull closer to the Skylandeers. Tiger lerft forth an immense flurry from his horns driving up the engine levels tremendously.' Use the Boost! He called up to Ratchet, who do so, firing the Seers team closer and closer towards the skylanders. As they crossed the line to begin the sEcond Lap, they were 2 seconds behind and 11 seconds ahead of Team Ozai. Midway through the Second lap, they passed The Skylanders by hitting them with a well placed  chopping stick strike. As they tuey crossed the line to begin the last lap, Team Seer was now 6 seconds ahead.
_ Flash, Mona, Tigess and Dixie cheered wildly as the team began the last lap, with a big lead and pushing to make it even bigger.

Captain Carson decided to aim the ship through a narrow ring of rock in the mountains with an item box floating in the middle. The ship shuddered as a fishball fired from a Mawashiian racer smashed against it but they had enough of a lead that it wasn't too detrimental to them.

"Reactor status!" Captain Carson barked into the intercom. She looked at the mana gauge, it was empty but the reactor and engines might have enough residual energy to carry them through. If not, she could always activate the bolt-on engines.

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

Ms. Swimmer had been eliminated partway through the semifinals but she had given such a great performance for an off-worlder that there were crowds clamoring for her handprint.

The Saurolophus willingly obliged the crowd.

Captain Carson looked at the fuel gauge. Twenty percent was nowhere near enough to keep the lead "We'll use the bolt-on engines!" She flicked a switch and soon, the distinctive high whine of the afterburning turbojets spooling up was heard. When the engines were at optimal speed, she activated the afterburners filling the cockpit with the distinctive roar of an afterburning jet engine at full throttle and the Aestorican Glider to surge foward.

She activated the defensive bowls just in time to see a fireball explode against one of the bowls.

Kopa, Kovu, Scooby and Panda King all qualified for the finals, as did the four dragons.
_
 The engines caused the Glider to become verry hot in the engine room, and rapidly drain the energy Tiger had put in. Still It was pushing the Team out in front. Now they were up by 4 seconds, now 6 seconds, Now 8. They reached the final peak and began the downward descent towards the finish line.' we're up by 10.6 seconds! fed called up to Captain Carson.

"Congrats Kovu, big brother," Kiara complimented when she and Vitani called to check on them after the semi finals. "Vitani and I weren't so lucky, we got taken out this round."

"The finals have been set, your highness," Shifu told Ozai, "Is your pre-finals speech ready?"

We could barely sumo for a few seconds. you girls ran into Vushu and a few other very tough girls, It happens, Nothing to be ashamed of. You girls can relax now, and enjoy the scenery on the planet, until we leave, which should be soon.

"Brief, by your standards," Shifu chuckled jokingly, as some of the servants brought giant mirrors towards the king for his self-admiration session.

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

"Let's go just find a place to get a tan," Kiara suggested to Vitani.

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

"Can I be of any help mam?" Other Oliver asked the defeated Dixie as she left the ring. "I'm always one to help out others."

_
 Mona munched on some popcorn as she Flash and tigress watched the screens above the finish line, and were cheering as Team Seer was starting to pull away.
_
Thank you Shifu, Now give me a few minutes so I can adjust my uniform.' Ozai said as he adjusted his attire in a row of mirrors.

"Yes, mam," Other Oliver nodded to Dixie, going to find a stand where water could be purchased.

"Are you gonna adopt him and give your Oliver a brother?" Tiger the cat asked Arlene.

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

"Yes, your majesty," Shifu nodded, letting Ozai to one of his favorite things......admiring his own body.

"I think he made the finals of his weight division on the men's side," Tiger said, looking over the results on the Mawashi internet. "By the way, what is there for your son to do if you bring him along with us?"

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

The heist was to take place on the museum of past tournament champions.  "The guards' shift change last 8 minutes Sly according to my calculations," Bentley informed.

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

"You boys both made it to the finals," Balto complimented, "King Ozai would be proud of you," he said to Kopa and Kovu.

 We'll be headed to the ship, very shortly, so he'll only be here for a very short time. Enough to go to one of the amusement parks ' Arlene said.

"I mean on our journey in general," Tiger clarified to Arlene, "You think he'll be fine going from planet to planet?"

"Hmm." Spike said as he looked at the text more.  "It seems to have some sections on battle magic, and potions.  A chapter on how prank spells can be used to great effect in combat."  He flipped to another part of the book.  "Hmm, this chapter is about sumo and sumo magic, and potions.   Very neat."  He said.

"Sounds very useful," Deimos said. "I remember Pinkie Pie using her party cannon to truly amazing effect." He gently brushed away some dirt from a sign.

Mr. Bigmouth nodded and handed Spike his tricorder. "Here," he said. "You can use this to record your findings. It can't read Archaic Equestrian Script yet, but if you use it, you'll help it learn."

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

The Aestorican Glider crossed the finish line with a whopping 12 second lead. She was moving so fast that the glider had actually broken the sound barrier. Captain Carson shut off the engines and activated the airbrakes to slow down the glider.

"We did!" She cheered as she carefully guided the ship to the landing zone.
