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

Hailey nodded to Chong as she looked over the controls for this ship 'Man, I wish this ship had a manual or something on how to fly this thing, let alone, start it up...' Hailey thought to herself as she just hessitated and pushed a button.

The button in turn, fired a missile from the front of it and into the nearest wall "Okay....that wasn't it" she spoke with a small nervous laugh.

Hailey did just that, she pushed the green button as the ship started up "Green equals start....should've known that.  Now....to try and fly this thing" she added in, grabbing the controls and started to lift the spaceship off the ground, rather roughly though as it jerked around somewhat.

She looked to Chong "Sorry, but I haven't flown a spaceship before" she told him, now trying to figure out how to make it go forward.

Dr. Kerzach quickly drove the sled into the aux control room. He used his key card to open the door. He helped carry the cash into the room and the four chefs carried in the two who were wounded in the shootout.

The control room had a panoply of control panels like the main bridge of the ship. Luckily, everything was labeled so someone with minimal training can operate them.

Dr. Kerzach then sealed the room. "All right, let's hole up here until the pirates go away or the military arrives," he said.

Jason looked around, "Guess the party is over and time for us to go." Jason said.  

"Where is Sara?" Guilmon asked.

Jason shrugged, "Likely wherever Tarrax is." He looked at Brooklyn and Gnash, "Ready to head home?" He asked them.

"No way, I'm to wide awake and want to see more stuff.  Besides it's night time." Gnash said.

"How about going to visit the legion, it's been a while since I've seen them." Brooklyn said.

"yea, that sounds cool." Gnash said.

"I like them." Guilmon said.

" I've never met them.  What is this legion?" Velma asked.

"The legion of super heroes.  They are in about a thousand years in the future and another universe.  Want to come? They don't mind guests." Jason said.  

"Sure.  Nothing for me to do here and there's no guest rooms for me here." Velma said shrugging a bit.

"Plenty of room in the tardis or legion headquarters.   Get ready for the transmat." Jason said.  The others stood still and Jason sent a mental message to the tardis & they soon faded from view, having been transmatted to his tardis.  Then off they went to visit the legion.

_ Scooby's house

 Tiger and Tigeress headed up to bed after 11/ they met Scooby and dixie up on the stairs as Scooby was trying to take off his tuxedo and was having difficulty with it. " You guys have fun tonight? Dixie smiled at her friends " Well yeah I guess we had fun.. although listening to plane jokes, hearing that lion try to sing, and keeping an eye on Flash were a bit stressful. Tiger said. ' you need anything tomorrow, just let us know. we're sticking around for a few days anyway. if the wizards calls us into action, Flash is staying with Tigeress' folks..
0 he most likely will' scooby shrugged
 knowing stripetail.. this darn button is stuck.. ' he said, as dixie leaned over and helped him unbutton his tuxedo and slide it off. for her efforts she got lifted off her feet..traditional carry the bride into the wedding chambers ' she smirked.. tigeress waved at her.. good nght dixie, see you in the morning..' night tiogeress  night tiger scooby said as they entered thier room. tiger and tigeress continued up the stairs and entered thier room.
 one by one, the remaining guests headed to thiers rooms.  ratchet clank and angela were given a room on the third floor that had three beds in it
 clank took the middle bed, ratchet the bed on the left, and anmgela took the one on the right.
The only ones still up iere stripetail kovu, kiara vitani and kopa. the four lions had decided to have a singing contest, and had Stripetail judge.. It soon became obvious that neither Kovu or Kopa could sing very well and stripetail interrupted kopa in the middle of rocky mountain high.. ' i think its the girls turn.. he said simply.. ' you two aren't the worst i've ever heard, but you really need to work on singing..

Hailey nodded to Chong "Yah, I guess there is a first time for everything, as you had said" she spoke, starting to now move the ship forward, heading over the prison walls....taking the landing gear out in the process with a lound clanking noise "That....didn't sound good" she gulped a little to herself, but yet, just kept on flying it forward regardless, leaving the Prison Planet behind.

Dr. Kerzach grabbed a first aid kit off the wall. "Nick, we've got two wounded - one's just a graze but the other was shot in the shoulder. I'll do the medical care; you check where the pirates are."
He then got to work spraying a healing accelerant derived from Stripetail's work on the chef's shoulder wound.

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

The frigate USSA Mercury Storm came within range of the Phoenix. A small transport shuttle cruised towards the ship, with its cargo of highly trained anti-piracy troops.

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

The radio in the bridge crackled.

"Phoenix this is Mercury Storm we have a troop shuttle en route. ETA of about twenty minutes. When we arrive, we will radio you."

The transmission had also been relayed to the aux control room.

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

Dr. Kerzach silently cheered as he was bandaging the injured chef. "So Nick," he asked, "what defenses and weaponry does this ship have?"

Half an hour had passed by as another ship landed on the Prison Planet as four creatures stepped out.  The first was a black guy, the second was a femaly, but with rather short, black hair, the third happened to be an anthromorphic chimpanzee, while the last was a vixen whom instead of normal arms, she had robotic arms.  Her name happened to be Aimee, the leader of her small team.

"What the hell happened here?" Riley, the other female, asked as she took a look around.

"Hard to say, but it doesn't look like anything good" Jackson, the black guy, replied back with.

"Darwin, find the security room, see if you can find out anything on any of the security tapes" Aimee ordered "And perhaps then, we can make sense of it all" she added in, walking over to some landing gear that was detached from a spaceshuttle.

"Whatever happened here, looks like someone made their escape, question is, who?" Jackson asked back as he too noticed the landing gear where Aimee was.

"Alright, Riley, go and find out if any of the guards around here are still breathing, and if they are, even awake for that matter, see if you can get some information from them" Aimee told Riley, whom nodded and took off into the prison.

The pirates are gathered on the second level above the main floor. they seem to have gotten all they could from the first floor and are looking around the other floors. as fior defenses we have are spring-loaded, guns that shoot when activated. they activate when they sense unfamiliar heat signatures..  we had training sessions with all the staff so that if you walk by you don't acidentally trigger the defenses.." nick replied.. as for defenses we can generate a shield covering the whole ship and spreading out for a range of 100 miles in each direction. so in essence our ship is like a very small planet.. Nick replied..

"Well, since troops are arriving in twenty minutes, setting up the shield doesn't sound like a good idea," Dr. Kerzach said. "Also, we'll need to deactivate the traps once the troops arrive."

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

Sure enough, once the lockdown had been engaged, a variety of booby traps ranging from electrified panels to remotely activated guns, engaged.

One of the pirates grabbed a door leading to a boutique only to be fatally electrocuted.

Darwin had gone through the different security files on who was being held at the prison when he came across Chong's file "High level security prisoner, contact Stripetail immediatly if anything has gone wrong" he read before getting in contact with Aimee over his headpiece "We have a problem"

"What is it?" Aimee asked as she listened to the situation at hand "Alright, I'll be there shorty, just get in contact with that Stripetail person" she then looked to Jackson "See what else you can find around here"

Darwin in turn, got to workin trying to get in contact with Stripetail as Aimee entered the room.  He motioned to the file of Chong's without a word as he wanted to be silent in case he were to get in contact with Stripetail.

Aimee looked through the file as another small note dropped out.  All it had said on it was that they captured another prisoner, code-named "Firefly", based upon the fire based abilities said prisoner had possessed.

Darwin handed the conversation over to Aimee once Stripetail was hear.  She then spoke up "This is Lt. Aimee speaking, we are here at Prison Planet and from what we understand is that there has been a breakout.  It says in Chong's file that if anything is to go wrong, that you were to be contacted immediatly-" she paused as she heard Riley on her earpiece, explaining what she had found in the lower levels.

"Seems as though Chong has escaped, and it sounds like he has some help from a prisoner they had captured trying to break him out" Aimee then told Stripetail as she watched what footage they had on the security cameras.  Though, it wasn't much they had to go by as they cut out moments later.

Stripetail's face darkened " Chongs Escaped? Great Great just what I needed to start the morning, to find out my old enemy has wriggled out the net.. Look for anything they might have used to escape like a spaceship and see if they had any tracers or anything embedded in them. if they do and one is missing chances are that Chong and his accomplice are using it. , Aimee.. You MUST catch Chong and soon, Chong has many enemies and many scores to settle,  go on the security area and start bringing up the recordings over the last few hours. and radio me when you've found something..,

"We did find some landing gear outside, Jackson is currently checking it, but it seems as though, wehn I had looked it over, that it had come off a spaceship" Aimee's eyes glanced to Darwin, giving him a nod as information started to show up "I'll call you again once we have a better idea as to what had happened here" and with that, she hung up for the time being and looked at what Darwin had bought up.

"This is a list for what spaceships have been on and off this planet in the last 24 hours" Drawin told Aimee "Well, that was, up until Chong had escaped"

"Jackson, do me a favour, go through all the spaceships that are around and take note of their serial numbers, we need to narrow down which one went missing" Aimee told Jackson over her earpiece.

Deimos dropped his fork in shock. "Please tell me that was a mistake," he said.

Ms. Swimmer entered the dining room. She noticed everyone around her had shocked looks on their faces. "What happened?"

"Chong happened," Rime spat, shaking pepper on his catfish sausage.

"Here we go again." She then helped herself to some hash browns.

Captain Fairchild and his three companions rolled up to the dining room window, which was open.

"So Stripetail, what's going on?" Captain Fairchild asked.
