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

"But before you go, Kovu," Kiara smiled, "I'm opening the gift you got for me." She began clawing away at the wrapping paper, and her jaw dropped in amazement and joy at what lied under it. It was a beautiful portrait of her that Kovu had painted.

(Pokitaru)

The ring within the Spire's Mawashiian temple grounds was being purified with the sacred salt as Ms. Swimmer and the others prepared to wrestle. There was an additional ring inside the temple but non-Mawashiians were not permitted to wrestle (or even set foot) within that particular ring, seeing it was only used during the Bowing Hour.

Slow gong beats, traditional Mawashiian chants and the heady scent of incense dominated the air as a Mawashiian prince spread salt around the perimeter of the packed clay arena. An statue of King Ozai was carried on a litter and was placed in the middle of the ring by five additional priests.

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

Calling Kerchu City grungy was being generous. While the Jasindu, the planet it was located on was a beautiful tropical planet akin to that of Pokitaru, Kerchu City itself was a dirty fortress with armed guards and factories belching out black smoke.

Luckily, the Kerchu were relatively tolerant of outsiders...at least in the city. And the high energy fuel known as gelatonium was the major source export of this planet. And Chong's men were trying to buy several drums of the dense green substance from one of the refineries.

The kerchu were tough negotiators and demanded a high price for any of the gelatonium. gelatonium not only served as fuel, it was also used for getting up to high places. the gel produced a bouncy mass, which acted somewhat like a trampoline. 10000 an once " demanded a herchu in a red bandana "not a cent less."

"One of the perks of being a royal," Kiara said to Sima, "You get to attend and have the best parties thrown for you." She put a variety of different meats on her plate and she began to sample them one by one.

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

"An eating contest huh," Ollie said, looking at the flyer, "Oliver's belly is endless, he could win us free stuff."

"I'd gladly lend you a paw," Oliver told the wolf girls.

Kiara showed off that she still had something from the ceremony of submission. "We may not have the actual guy," she smirked to Sima, "But I can still use this projection of Kovu to dance with. I could show off our moves, if you wish."

By all means, show me some of his dance moves. We mawashiians like to dance, when we  are not summing. Sumo line dance, for instance ' sima grinned.

 Luca was  heading towards the dance floor, and showing off some Monster world dance moves.
 Lets go to the place then,' mona said ' We don't need to eat everything, but just enough to win." Whats the prize?' Flash asked Oliver

"A shopping spree at any store of our choosing," Oliver explained, "And look, there are toy and hobby shops among what we can pick from."

"Besides, Oliver's gut is like the grand canyon, he can fit infinite food inside it," Oliie commended.

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

"Shall we dance?" Kiara asked the Kovu hologram, activating it. Thanks to the advanced technology, she could make physical contact with it.

"Clear the floor!" Kiara called, and a bunch of the party guests made a space for them. She took a hold of the hologram Kovu's paws. "Let's show them what we got and make their jaws drop in awe."

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

"I think I see my mom coming over," Oliver commented, seeing Arlene in the crowd. "It looks like she's carrying some boxes. Maybe those are gifts." He was readying his appetite for the contest.

(Kerchu City)

"Ten thousand for three barrels is grossly exorbitant." Chong's main quartermaster crossed his arms and leaned against one of the drums. "How about 5,000 for all three?"

--------------------  

In another area of the city, namely the rather grimy commercial section. Two of Chong's other supplies officers were trying to get a hold of Ace Hardlight, the notorious underground fighter turned arms dealer.

"Damn it, forget him!" one of them said as she shoved a beggar into the gutter after he tried to pickpocket her."Let's see if we can find someone else!"

--------------------  

(Pokitaru)

Emperor Unan was the first to speak. Hot tea was available to all the guests (except the Vaalbarans for obvious reasons).

"Lord Stripetail," he said as he templed his hands. "I am greatly appreciative of your group's efforts to help us and save Weyard, but we cannot all stay aboard your ship."

"Agreed," Sveta added. "As pleasant and large as ship is, it is not planet or even city."

The Vaalbaran leader nodded. The suit was humanoid in configuration to help ease communications. "That is true. Because of the Vaalbaran physiology, our atmosphere is not compatible with your own physiology and vice versa. While our refugee ship is currently being modified to carry a new hyperdrive, we need a planet we can call home for the time being."

"We can begin," the cheetah sumo offered to Ms. Swimmer. "The preparations to the ring are finished." She then took a sumo stance, mentally preparing herself.

A Mawashiian gorilla agreed to serve as the match's referee. He stepped aside to let take place.

Yes, emperor. I'm well aware that this is not a long term solution" Stripetail said, stirring his tea. I can restore both Vaalbara and Weynard, but that will take time. I will talk with Quark about finding a temporary home for both  of you. For the wEynardians you'll need a planet with natural magic that you can use. Something like Skylands, except without Sky -islands.' Stripetail said " and for the vaalbarans, some place  that is cold enough for them, and yet is breathable for them.  He gestured and created a magical map of the current sector they were in.  now, fortunately this sector has lets of technology that can be used to create worlds of any shape and size.. there was even an attempt to create a planet that would have all 4 seasons, unfortunately this attempt was fueled by stealing parts of existing planets.. hmm..I Could create a planet for you' he said to  Unan. " using asteroids and debris and other  leftovers. How big of a planet would you like?"

Kiara and the Kovu hologram kept showing off their dance moves. The hologram had Kovu's knowledge and skill of it implanted into his programming. "You know Sima and I belong to you now," Kiara purred seductively as she was held over his head. When the dance was over, they bowed to the party guests.

"What a fab shindig," Dimitri said about the celebration.

"Thanks for the gifts everyone," Kiara smiled to her guests, "They're all lovely." She had Sima get a cart so that they could bring them all back to their room once the party was over.

"There's somebody I heard is on the ship that I wonder if we'll bump into," Oliver explained.

"Who's that?" Ollie asked the other cat.

"My godmother, a black panther named Panty. She's nice, she's pretty, and well, she likes to eat.....a lot."
