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

Bring me to him. I want to question him first' Chong said ' by grabbing the wizards friends  we will be hearing from him soon.  Give him food and water, but no weapons. we don't want any escape attempts. ' He said getting up from his seat " lead the way.
_
 the bullet holes indicate some kind of struggle' Nickk said holding Saba close to the wall so the bullet holes could be more clearly seen. " Did you check the window?' he asked. Perhaps they entered that way..' he mused ' as for why no one heard anything. theres all sorts of bustle going on outside. it would muffle any fight going on .' Unless someone was right outside or right next door, they wouldnt hear it. " He turned and looked at Bigmouth " ok, we'll need to put out a missing persons bulletin. Contact Stripetail let him know. Send the notice to Ratchet and Clank too , they're local heroes they'll know what to do. "

Mr. Bigmouth nodded. "I've already alerted Captain Carson." He then switched over to Ratchet's frequency. "Ratchet, this is Bigmouth. Deimos has gone missing. We believe he's been kidnapped. Bigmouth out."

The Spirarian soldier looked at the window and the surrounding area. There was no broken glass or other signs of forced entry.  "Unless they walked through the window or broke it and then cleaned up, I think we can rule that out."

Mr. Bigmouth then noticed a rock that had been placed under the bed. Using a specialized stick, he retrieved it and examined it closely. "I don't think this is an ordinary kidnapping attempt," he said. He then held up the rock. On its surface were the distinct, almost fluid markings of a magical rune. He held his tricorder over it and read out the results. "It looks like this was a silencer rune. It puts out a field of magic that suppresses all sounds within a certain area but it burns out after a period of time."

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

Captain Carson had already received the message. She quickly relayed it to Stripetail. She scowled. She ordered her crew to return to the Spire and hold a meeting with Stripetail.

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

Rainbow was parked at an airfield on Pokitaru. She had a full ordnance load but the living F-22 was mostly focused on basking in the sun and enjoying leisurely flights around the island.

She flexed her wings and all of her control surfaces as she prepared to go for another flight. She carefully pulled onto the runway and spooled up her engines as she prepared for take off.

Unfortunately, she didn't see the group of men hiding in the bushes near the airfield. As she quickly gained speed and approached, one of the men fired an electrified steel net, which was quickly sucked into her engine intake, completely destroying her left engine. Screaming in agony, the living F-22 quickly began wobbling as she tried to keep herself from crashing. Her manipulator arm extended as she tried to pull the net out of her engine intake to no avail.

It was then she saw a group of men approaching her. Growling, she fired off a few 20 mm cannon rounds at the group, killing a few before a EMP grenade lobbed at her knocked out her electronics and rendered her completely unconscious.

"Ace Hardlight maybe a hardass but he's got some great s---," a man said. "Like this mag-net launcher." He patted the aforementioned weapon.

"Yeah, now call in Chong and let him know we've got another," the leader ordered.

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

(Phoenix)

The officers smartly saluted and led Chong over to Deimos's cell. They arrived to see the dinosaur trying to bait one of the guards into entering the cell to attack him. "You guys have your heads stuck up your asses if you think I'm going to eat the s--- that Chong calls food."

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

A message was left for Chong's communications officers that they had captured one of the living planes.

so they silenced the area and attacked Deimos under that cover ' Nick said glancing at the rune-stone with interest " we are dealing with wizards or witches then" saba said "   So much for our vacation.' the tiger-saber sighed ' They could have teleported in ' Nick mused " like stripetail does. "
_
 Stripetail paused as his radio buzzed" Stripetail here.. ' his eyes narrowed as he heard Carsons message " get that room sealed off so I can investigate .  Go around to everyone  and give them tracker bands, so that the next time someone gets grabbed, we'll know.  We need a head count as well. I'm heading to Pokitaru. the planets are not quite livable yet, as they are still drawing in more accretion material, but I would say they are 95% complete. They are also quite a bit  larger than their namesake planets, there was significantly more asteroids and icy bodies than anticipated. Stripetail out.
-
 Ratchet pressed his comm link and received the message. " headed your way. We've got the anti-gravity supplies for the Vaalbarans as well.  I would check the arenas in the galaxy , many are known for getting "competitors ' through less than honorable means. "Fresh meat" they call it.. We've had more than few experiences with that..Ratchet said
_
 Sasha  Angela and Talwynn were collecting leviathan souls  to power an engine Talwynn had created. ' Supposed to be able to light the way for ships for 10 parsecs ' Talwynn said, and Angelas ring glowed ' Headed back to Pokitaru. One of our group is missing, perhaps kidnapped. Ratchet out ' OK Sasha and I will meet you there ' Angela said. "
_
 One by one the rings of the Omniderate glowed " Deimos has been kidnapped, I need everyone to gather together in conference room 5 for a head count . Everyone should stop what they are doing  and head over there. Stripetail out."
-
 Scooby sighed  so much for a nice ski trip."he said. Dixie had stopped at a ski lodge downslope and had found Kitty and Tiger making out inside  ' Sorry to interrupt your fun, guys, but we have a big problem.' Dixie said, sticking her head in  as tiger looked up at her "  One of our group has been kidnapped- Deimos.  we need to have a head count to make sure no one else is missing.' "But doesn't that just concern you guys? ' Kitty asked as she held on to Tiger  ' Tiger desperately wants kittens and we havent had any time to .. er work on that. " Sorry, Kitty, love, but the head count includes everyone. We need to make sure no one else has been nabbed, or, if they have, how many.. ' Ok, Ok' kitty sighed getting out of the chocolate pool. " But you and I are going to have fun with our husbands after this Dixie. You know I cant say no to Tiger when he gives me that look. ' Kitty said as she changed behind a screen.' Can We at least get something to eat first ' Tiger sighed as  he changed back into his attire, and drained the hot cocoa  tubs. ' I'm sure food will be served Tiger. and plenty of it. Stripetail doesn't provide water and crackers at these meetings of his. And Kitty, we're going to have loads of fun with the guys after this matter is dealt with , I promise' Dixie said. " Hmm. A ski race?" Kitty smirked ' With the boys as the bobsleds?' Tiger chuckled. 'You're on , Dixie, But be warned I'm faster and more graceful then I look.'
-
 Tiger was carrying the 4  kids on his back-  he had found them just after Oliver had picked out his candy prize- an enormous strawberry lollipop. Flash and Mona had managed to get Tiger to buy them cotton candy. and Ollie  had wanted popcorn, which the Father wolf had agreed to. the box was so large, all 4 kids  easily fit inside. ' Thanks dad ' Flash smiled as she munches on some of her cotton candy ' No problem sweetie. But the Wizard has ordered a meeting, and everyone has to be present, so you kids have to be there too Your mom, and Luca, are headed there now, although they'll probably get there before us.." TIger said as Ollie and Mona munched on popcorn.
-
( Phoenix)
 My food isn't THAT bad, Mr Deimos " Chong said a big grin on his face nonetheless. " You should actually be grateful that my men didn't put a number of holes in your head. Goodness knows you've caused enough trouble for me on more than one occasion, to warrant that.  This is the second time in fact- first there was  the Surf Point business, and now this little to do. But, I am under contract to provide living test subjects , and you may actually make some money out of it, if you live long enough. I do have a number of questions for you, most of them concerning that damned wizard. HOW did he  survive using that Lens? I was told by everybody on that rock that no one could use the Lens without the gear and that  anyone who tried  with wearing the Gear, wouldnt even come within a thousand feet of the lens , before being turned to fine ash! How did he did it, Deimos? HOW?' Chong grabbed the bars of Deimos cell, his eyes alright with fury "Is there NOTHING that can kill that miserable furball?!?"

(Pokitaru)

Captain Carson quickly touched down at Pokitaru. She quickly had some of her crew cordon off Deimos's room. Meanwhile, the other crew quickly fanned out and began searching for all the Spirarians. They decided to ensure the Mawashiians and the other refugees were safe as well as it was part of their job.

"Looks like our vacation's ruined. Again," Mr. Bigmouth said. He then looked at the stone that he placed inside an evidence bag. "And I'm almost certain I know who's behind it."

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

Captain Fairchild and the other two living planes were enjoying a leisurely flight over the sunny seas of Pokitaru where they could see the native wildlife swimming the crystal clear waters. When they received the emergency transmission, they wheeled around and headed back to the ship.

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

(Phoenix)

"Figure that one out yourself...or are you too dumb and incompetent without your green Squirrel butt-buddy?" Deimos leaned back against the wall in his cell, adopting a surprisingly casual demeanor. The mention of living test subjects just cemented his desire to goad one of the guards or even Chong to such anger that they'd enter and kill him.

He then pointed to several of the guards. "Do your mothers know about this? Oh wait, I forgot, your mothers are probably some anonymous space station whores."

One of the guards, a scarred up looking Giant Anteater approached the cell. "You got a smart mouth." He pulled out what looked like a rubber handle and pressed a button, causing a crackling blue-white plasma arc to extend from it. He cracked it against the floor, filling the air with the smell of ozone.  He then approached the cell.

(OOC - The guard's using this weapon.)

Chong  tightened his grip on the bars , but then relaxed a bit, and smirked slightly " I highly highly doubt you'd speak this way to Lord Mertavius, Mr Deimos, if he were present. His lordship is not  one to suffer such taunts. Particularly from a foul-mouthed mortal, who confuses guns for his private parts' He then  turned and  held up a paw to the Anteater indicating he stop ' Much as I would love to have the anteater here take several strips of  bloody flesh from your smug hide, and beat you  until you swallow your own teeth, my television contract stipulates that contestants have to be healthy enough to fight. And you WILL fight,  Mr Deimos. You, and all your friends. You will fight, or you will die.  Well, now that I think about  it, you'll die even if you willingly fight, so you'll die no matter what you do.'

A grin spread over his face " Now  I imagine this thought is passing through that peach pit that passes for your brain: 'Why are you doing this?' Well there's any number of reasons: Vengeance, money, thirst for Blood, all apply. but I think the simplest answer is : Because. I. Can." Chongs voice dropped to a low hiss. " and because I know the Seer is going to come after you. I honestly don't know why he bothers with you lot , I really don't. But , at least,  you'll make a nice pawn in my little game with him. You see, when I'm done, even the great 'wizard' will be fighting for his life, in the Dreadzone.' Chong said.

Wave and Rouge took seats at the Table Flurrie and Wendy were sitting at. ' Do you mind if we flip one of the screens to the Rogue races ' Wave asked. ' i had 200 gems riding on Jet winnning the next 3 races to qualify out pool play."  Flurrie and Wendy shrugged as   moOncake a green floating alein landed on the table ' MiNd if me and my pals squeeze in?' he asked his head tentacles swaying back and forth.  he pointed to two humans  Gary and Quinn and two ventrexians, Avacato and Little Cato " err, I don;t care what games we watch ' Avacto said as they took seats. " Just as long as they are good games. I dont want to want 200 point blowouts.

"i got dibs on Mario ' Gary said eagerly. " mario isnt in these races  " rouge said. Ah, darn.' well I'll watch anyway ' Gary said eagerly as quinn rolled her eyes.. .  Flurrie ordered drinks for the newcomers, and food- chicken strips in large orders.

"Thanks for the ride," Oliver said to Tiger as he slurped the lollipop he had gotten as his prize. Ollie tossed his fellow cat some popcorn as an additional snack, which Oliver quickly scarfed down. "My mom will be there too, right?"

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

"Well, I guess our break got cut short," Sly said, changing back into his Interpol attire upon hearing about the emergency meeting. "But, duty calls. And unlike being a thief, you can't ignore the call of the law."

"And I was hoping to enjoy some tropical drinks," Jing noted as she got up and followed behind the Cooper Gang.

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

Kitty stood by Tiger the cat as they made their way to the meeting. "We'll resume the kitten talk afterwards," she promised her husband.

She Should be" tiger said. " Although she might be at work too. meetings normally only have those who are available" the blue wolf said as he continued guiding the 4 kids down the path towards the main resort building.

Well, SCooby and I will be doing more than Talking about pups and kittens if you catch my drift' Tiger said. ' we'd paint a picture, but we dont want Flash or Mona to see it, or Oliver or Ollie for that matter ' Scooby said. 'well, boys you are certainly eager  all of a sudden ' Dixie smiled as the reached the bottom of the hill' Its the scenery , i think ' Kitty said as she followed after Dixie ' its.. er stimulating." So is Jamaica ' Dixie said. "This is better" Kitty said "At least, I think so.

Sima was showing KIara a Drawing of a light blue dress/ gown outfit, along with a green tiara ' This is what I'll call Divine inspiration. Blue represents water, green  the earth. think you can pull it off?  the agency said we shouldnt go too overboard with bright, attention grabbing stuff, thats for the big premieres, and we're not at that level yet anyway.' Sima  said and handed the drawing to kiara. perhaps we can get pointers later.

KOvu oaused as his shuttled passed a large advertisement - to his surprise it was MAc holding up one of his perfumes " Smell Defense ' Read the advertisement " 200 bolts for a 4 ounce bottle! drive your enemies away, if the spraying wont do it, the smell will!" " Well not the wording I would have chosen, but at least I'm getting my name out there ' KOvu paused to himself. 'ANd I need to make more cologne anyway."

WE need to make sure that Deimos is the only one who has beemn captured so far.  Ratchet, CLank, Angela  and Sasha entere and worked their way into the third row.

Deimos smirked. "Try me."

The Anteater fumed as he retracted his whip and stood back. He glowered at the dinosaur inside the cell.

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

Spire of Winter

The conference room also had monitors that allowed the living planes to join the group as well.

"Present," Captain Fairchild said. Major Lockie and Lt. Martin also appeared on two monitors.

The Spirarian crew was quickly taking a head count as well.

"Wait, we're missing Rainbow!" one of the crew said.

Captain Carson quickly radioed Rainbow, using the frequency of her internal radio. No response. She kept calm but made a note of it as she continued taking count of everyone.

SO we have 2 missing. Could be worse' Stripetail sighed. Yes, question?' He said as Wendy raised her hand " mr Wizard, do you think that others will be grabbed? because.. well.. my daddy wouldn't like it if I was grabbed by some goon. He's gone to war for less."  Well, unfortunately, the likelihood that others will be captured is very high' stripetail said " its quite likely Chong is involved in this, and he will not be satisfied in taking just a few of us captive." Kitty raised her hand next  " Yes? Kitty?' stripetail asked ' surely  Chong won't want ALL of us? I mean Tiger and I have done nothing to him!' Well, unfortunately, Kitty, It doesnt matter To Chong  if you have harmed him, or not, if you're friends with his enemies, that makes you an enemy too. He doesnt distinguish between them. " Flurrie raised her arm next Yes, Madame Flurrie?" " what precautions, MAster Wizard, should we take to protect ourselves?" the wind spirit said.
_
 stripetail paused and thought ' Stay in groups.  Friends, family, folks you can trust. Keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. m Those of you with powers, protect those that dont have them. Those of you with kids, keep them close to you at all times.  Now, we are still on vacation, so this doesnt mean all the fun stuff has to end, entirely. However, you have to increase your awareness, and keep an eye out for trouble.  Stripetail gestured and a tray of glowing gold bands appeared next to him on the stage. " These bands are magically linked to each other. Wear them, and even if you get grabbed by Chong or his minions, these bands will allow us to track your location, and follow you.. Divide into groups and Decide what you will call your group." We'll be Group Chima ' Laval said, as LI'ella Elida and Eris nodded in agreement. " I'll be.. er. GRoup Flurrie ' Wendy said as Gombella  Gombette and toadette  all chimed in in agreement. " STripetail gestured and the bands flew off of of the tray and latched onto the wrists as one by one the group members announced themselves. Kitty, Tiger, Arlene and Luca  voted to be in group Dixie, which soon expanded to include Mona, FLash and Oliver. " Stay close to Dixie, OLiver ' arlene said, as Tiger the wolf dropped the kitten off by Arlene. vushu and Sima voted to form group PRidelands, with Kopa, naturally, taking lead.  kOvu entered the convention hall and came up to his family " HEy , everyone, sorry I'm late, but the trip took longer than i thought ' he said.
- Spyro-W, Cynder-W, Sara, Korin, Samia, Dulcy, Ember, Skylands, Young spyro and Dragon formed Group Dragons. ' we'll be on the lookout for anything from the sky ' samia said to stripetail ' THank you samia. CHeck in if you ee anything.' stripetail nodded.
_
 " No sense in giving the fool the martyrdom he craves " chong said finally, gesturing and tossing a water bottle at Deimos feet " Come on, then. lets leave him to his thoughts. I have bigger fish to fry at the moment." CHong turned on his heel, and walked out of the cell area.

"Yes mom," Oliver nodded respectfully as he stayed close next to the dog who their group was named after. They were already planning for what to do next.

"Could we go grab a bite as a group?" Ollie suggested.

"That sounds like a good plan," Kiara nodded, feeling her stomach rumble. "I could use some grub. How about the rest of you?" She didn't even have to look at Sima and Vushu to know how they would respond to this suggestion. The Mawashiian natives were usually very hungry, after all.

Zachary, Ms. Swimmer, Dr. Zanasiu, Mr. Bigmouth and Dr. Kerzach chose to be "Pelvanida Group" as was their usual custom. They all took the glowing bands.

"Looks like we'd better bring our guns," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"We'd better get permission from the government first," Mr. Bigmouth added as he fastened the band around his arm. "The last thing we want to deal with is a jail term."

Captain Carson chose her own group along with some of her higher ranking officers.

"We have internal telemetry antennas," Captain Fairchild said from the monitor. "There's literally no way to remove them without cutting them out of us."

"Furthermore," Major Lockie cut in via monitor. "We don't have wrists or hands...except for the small manipulator claws and those cannot be extended or used in flight."

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

(Phoenix)

Deimos looked around at the cell. It was completely bare except for a toilet. He sighed. There was nothing there that he could use as a weapon...except for his own body.

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

As Chong entered the hallway of the ship, he was met by one of his officers.

"Captain Chong!" she said with a sharp salute. "We have captured one of the living planes often in the presence of the Seer!"

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

Rainbow moaned slightly as she began to regain consciousness. She was inside a hangar of some sorts. As her vision cleared, she could see that several steel cables were fastened  around her weapons hardpoints and secured to several anchors in the ground. Thick steel chains were wrapped around all three of landing gear and secured to the anchors. Her manipulator claw was also chained to an anchor point. Even worse was the the living F-22 could also determine that they had drained all of her fuel.  

"Awake?" a mechanic said.

"What do you want?" the F-22 replied.

self defense is acceptable ' Ratchet said ' I've solved a lot of my issues with weapons" He smirked. "  He has the record to prove it " sasha said. ' Hes won at arena where no other non-Agorian has ever won, he even survived Deadzone." Beat Dr Nefarious a bunch of times ' Ratchet said  " lets just stick together ' Angela said. "safety in numbers , and all that."

-
 " well' stripetai musedv ' we'll have to install some some of locator inside you planes then." He scratched his chain. ' we'll get to work on that.  for now, groups are to bunk together at the hotel, with someone standing watch on 6 hour shifts.
_
 bring me to it, so i can ask it some questions ' Chong paused ' perhaps it can serve as transportation for the contestants in the arena, might get some use out of it that way."

"Like I said, we have internal telemetry equipment that we can activate at will. We won't need the bands installed inside of us," Captain Fairchild said.

Captain Carson tapped her fingers on the desk. "If I may," she began. "The Spire might be safer, seeing as it can actually be locked down."

Dr. Zanasiu looked at the doors in the conference room. Despite being made of what looked like wood, he was certain that they were fireproof, bulletproof and probably securely attached, making them nearly impossible to breach. "I'm not sure. I mean, don't get me wrong, the accomodations aboard the Spire are good but they just don't quite cut it on Pokitaru."

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

(Phoenix)

"As you wish Captain." The officer then led Chong to the hangar where Rainbow was securely fastened to the floor.

One of the mechanics approached Chong with some papers he had gotten from scanning the living plane. "As you can see, Captain, the plane is identical to a standard F-22 Raptor with the exception of a manipulator claw, a computer core and a circulatory system that pumps an oil based coolant/hydraulic fluid. Its left engine was completely destroyed in the capture attempt. It currently cannot fly but we have it restrained and removed all its ammunition and fuel."

All a lockdown would do is buy you time' Nick spoke up' I put the Phoenix on lockdown when Chong attacked, and it didnt stop him from taking over the ship. the lockdown bought me just a couple hours and that was with security that cost me north of 1 million bucks. If you are a powerful mage, like Chong, there really isnt any security system that can keep him out. if you have lasers, he'll redirect them. if you have very thick metal shield doorm he'll cut through them. Captain, I had top of the line systems, and he utterly overpowered them. for a sufficiently powerful mage, they can go where they please,  when they please.  in the case of Deimos, the goons  were likely magicked  in the room, cast a Silence spell around the area, then overpowered him.

 " they had to do so quickly " stripetail said ' this kind of runed magic is powerful but its of short duration. 10 minutes, normally, although the stronger ones can go up to a half hour. In the mages circles we call these ' Smash and grab stones ' you teleport in, use the stone, subdue your target , then bolt before the spell wears off. They usually teleport without the radius of the silence spell, so the victim cannot cry out for help. Or  as in Deimos case, swear, threaten, and spit at them. The lad has a talent for foul language .  I will analyze the rune stone and see where it was made, that should give us an idea of where Chong is operating from.  As for where we should stay, we stay at the resort. We share rooms, and have hall patrols for security reasons. I'll go talk to the hotel management, they usually have dignitaries and heads of states here, so getting persinal security okayed shouldnt be a problem.
-
 Phoenix)
 Chong glanced at the papers for a few minutes before turning to the mechanic ' Fix the engine so it can fly. Install a self destruct mechanism that can be activated if the plane devaiated from a set course. set the self destruct to 10 minutes. " chong said. " that will stop any dea of escapes. " He then turned to Rainbow.. ' So, you are one of the Seer's living planes? Do you have anything to say in your defense?" Chong demanded

Rainbow simply glared at Chong. "Major Allison Douglas. Identification number 4525269." It was standard military protocol for POWs. Give only name, rank and serial number.

At the same time, she secretly activated her internal telemetry beacon.

Captain Carson nodded. "All right. I shall have guards patrol the area. Also, everyone else should get clearance with the front office to carry their weapons and/or guards with them."

" so you refuse to give me more than your name?" chong frowned " If you think quaint rules will protect you for long, Major, you will soon find that you are sorely mistaken. I would also suggest getting used to your quarters, you'll be here for awhile.We will give you food and drink, or whatever the nearest equivalent is for a living plane , something oil based, most likely' Chong shrugged. "My  mechanics here will repair your damaged engine, it will likely be a few days until you can move around, naturally, takeoff will be impossible without fuel. OH, and Don;t worry about getting lonely. You'll have company in due time."

 you can them say that they are here to protect you,  and your entourage. or to protect  me, either way works " stripetail said.  Qwark's procurement of our rooms covered any security measures needed. so No real questions need be asked. For now, lets have a bite to eat " He gestuired and a large assortment of trays appeared on the gathered attendees , and succulent food appeared on the trays.

"Then let's eat, shall we?" Kiara said to her family and friends. She gave Kovu pieces of meat that she knew he would enjoy. She then turned to Sima. "Have as much as you like," she encouraged the sumo lioness.

Oliver sat by his friends. Though the conditions were now more tense, he took comfort in that a lot of them were still together. He gave his friends some pizza slices.

As the Cooper Gang sat at one table, Jing King saw something that intrigued her. Walking nearby was a big fat male panda who immediately caught Jing's eye.

"He looks handsome," she said about Po, the Dragon Warrior.

Slow down Po" Tigeress the tiger fumed as she carried a bag on her back, which was partly filled with her things , and partly with Po's. " the Solona King Fu Competition isnt going anywhere!' SHe said as they entered the main resort entrance. Po was looking around, a big grin on his face at the large and lush accommodations. PO started as he saw SCooby and dixie  heading out of the conference room, and  Po went over to them ' Heyb guys! Long time no see!" said the Jovial panda" What are you guys doing here?" PO said as Tigeress  caught up to him, huffing from carrying the luggage. ' We're having a meeting ' Scooby said as Tigeress approached followed by the Panda King  who was carrying a number of fireworks.. 'HMm. A young panda. might have promise.. ' panda king said ' are you looking for a mate, young panda?' He asked and Po froze in shock. " No, sir, he's too busy being the Dragon warrior for personal relationships ' Tigeress said " I wasnt asking you, young lady! Learn to speak when spoken to, and not before!' The Panda king said,  his eyes narrowed and his voice rising." Hold On, there, Panda King. These are our friends" Dixie said " this is Po, and Tigeress. They traveled with us during the LAffalympic games. " Lady Dixie, my apologies ' the larger panda said, his voice becoming more normal .  "I"m merely looking for a husband for my daughter, and I thought this - Dragon Warrior?_ would fit the bill. " "I'm.. er not in the market, Panda King ' Po said. " would you kindly excuse me? I.. um.. have to go meet With.. Stripetail.. for um. endowing  my Dragon warrior uniform with, magical protections.. excuse me.' Po said rushing into the conference room, making his way up the stairs and diving into an empty row."

 The Panda King was surprised and honestly miffed at the younger pandas refusal. "HMmmf! The impudence of that young panda! In China, one does not refuse a marriage request, it is dishonorable!" We're not in CHina now though " Tigeress said. " Besides, KIng Panda, Po is. er.. spoken for. I"m his girlfriend' She said. "But you are a tiger! you cannot produce children with a panda!" Its called adoption, Panda king.  besides, shouldnt your daughter get to decide who she wants as a husband?" tigeress replied and Panda King scoffed ' Jing King will marry the panda I choose for her, and i have chosen this Po ' Panda king said " Whether he likes it or not.. the,  ahem Courtship of my daughter has begun! Have the seer create a pair of dating garments for them to wear while they are courting. " Tigeress rolled her eyes and carried the bag into the convention room " Let us talk to the seer" She said finally.

"I'm going to find that handsome panda," Jing seeing Po try to get away from her father, and she began following after him. She wanted to give him a more proper introduction, after all, he was to be her fiance. "Excuse me," Jing said to those she stepped past to keep herself on Po's trail.  She imagined squeezing him tight, feeling the flab of his form. She couldn't wait to try on the dating garments that the seer would make for them.

Tai Lung had to chuckle at the sight. "Seems our friend Po is engaged. They grow up so fast. Or, in the panda's case, they grow OUT so fast...." Monkey and Mantis laughed at the snow leopard's joke.
