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

Stripetail turned off the walkie talkiue and tapped a bracelet on his wrist ' alright team, everyone downstairs. NOW! he said in a cold tone.."Chongs escaped..
_ You GOT to be kidding? Cynders voice came back over the bracelet " No, i'm not, he just escaped from Prison Planet within the last hour, we need get a startegy session going.
 Within five minutes the ten Omniderin were present in the living room..  So i take it our honeymoon will have to be postponed Scooby said in a sad tone. " if Chong does anything against Nick or Aves, then yes.. in fact if he does anything like that, i'm not going to waste another six months on trying to fight him, I;';m simply going to put an enormous bounty on his head, and give it to whoever kills him...Stripetail's voice was filled with anger..

Jackson got back to Aimee with the numbers of the spaceships, getting Darwin to then narrow them down.  And that's where the problem arose, there were at least 3 missing spaceships still unaccounted for "Darwin, those three that are missing, see if you are able to find out any information on them, if there's any form of tracking device on either of them"

Riley on the other hand, remained in the lower levels of the facility, checking on the different guards around.  Most were unconcious, yet, others happened to be dead as she also checked out where Chong and the other one had been held at "Whatever happened here....looks like they weren't able to be held in the end" was all she noted, having no clue about the magic side of the prison.

(The Phoenix)

The troops had arrived and killed/arrested the pirates.

Dr. Kerzach whooped as the news arrived. "Great, now we have to clean up the mess they left behind."

He then exited the aux control room with some soldiers providing some security.

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

(Scooby's House)

"Well, we'll obviously need a starship," Strut said, downing some hot tea.

"Where are we going to get one?" Deimos snapped.

Mr. Bigmouth cleared his throat. "I may be able to get in contact with Rigel Interstellar Mining Corporation. They're a large mining conglomerate that owns several offworld mines mines."

"Yeah, we need a f---ing army! Not a mining company!"

"Let me finish! Rigel Interstellar Mining Corporation also has a sizable fleet of armed ships that they may be willing to help us. I must warn you, this will not be cheap."

Darwin soon spoke to Aimee again "We have a problem, the three spaceships that are missing, none of them have any sort of tracking device on them, so trying to track down this Chong person is going to be rather difficult"

Aimee had to think for a second "Alright, I'll get into contact with Stripetail again, see if we are able to formulate a better plan in finding and capturing Chong and his little accomplise" and with that, Aimee started to call Stripetail again, seeing if she would be able to get into contact with him.

Money will not be an issue " stripetail replied as his walkie talkie went off.. "I  have saved up a lot of money over the ages, so I can buy whatever I want.. As long as this spaceship can hold a large number of passengers and crew, and can cover vast distances in a short period, thats really all that matters.
_
What, are we going into SPACE? Dixies eyes widened.. " Yes we are.." stripetasil replied " And I'm going to start putting together the second group of the omniderateas well.. Remember there are three groups, Omniderin, Mathari and Lilonae. This group is the Mathari, the middle group.. " and Do you have some members of that team in mind? Agumon asjked.. " Indeed I do Stripetail said as Kopa and Kiara entered the room.. "Er.. why are you looking at us like that Stripetail? ' ' well i was looking for members of a team i'm forming, if your royal duties will allow enough time for you.

"As exciting as that would be, we can't follow you unless you can find a starship large enough for us to fly around in and our engines need air to operate," Captain Fairchild said.

Dr. Zanasiu looked at the four living planes outside and had an idea. "Hey, Stripetail, you think we could make another group with the four planes?"

"Commander, if I may," Major Lockie said. " I may be able to find volunteers for our mission in Galena."

Mr. Bigmouth pushed his plate away and dialed Rigel Interstellar Mining Corporation. As soon as he got in contact, he requested the largest ship they have free.

Several minutes later, he beamed with good news. "All right, Rigel's sending over their colony ship Spire of Winter. It's currently en route to Earth. It should arrive by nightfall. We'll be taking landing craft to said ship. They'll land in Galena Air Force Base."

"How much did this cost?" Deimos demanded.

"About a billion dollars," Mr. Bigmouth replied nonchalantly.

Every member of the Pelvanida Group stared wide-eyed at Mr. Bigmouth.

"You've got to be f---ing kidding me," Deimos said with a shake of his head.

"You need to keep in mind that they're letting us use all the resources available on that ship, which being the size of a small town, is a lot.

You spent a billion dollars? Scoobys eyes were wide in shock..
_
We don't use money in the Pridelands, but offpaw I'm guessing a billion is a lot of money' Kiara said  as Kovu and Vitani entered the room. "hey guys what seems to be the problem? Vitani yawned. "well your  majesty i'm forming a team to send on various missions and you did sign up to help us.. ' Stripetail replied' gesturing and three pairs of rings appeared in midair. hold on, hold on' kovu protested, kopa and i have enough duties without you adding us to your ' summon on a whim list'. ' thats the thing with wizards kovu, we don;t summon people  on a whim..when  you signed up last night to give help, it meant you were willing to do whatever was asked of you.. let me put it this way, in this group you will see places you would never see otherwise, and you will have your wife kiara to keep you company, and kopa will have vitani.
-
if anything happens to us, Stripetail, the pridelands are screwed' Kopa said. 'My dad is retired, and there are no other males in the pride besides Kovu and me. so.. i just hope you know what you are doing.. ' Your majesty I have been  involved in dangerous business like this for thousands of years, its old hat for me.. don't worry the omniderate here will get you up to speed on wearing the suits, you'll get used to them..armor up' he smiled and four of the rings attached themselves to the four lions anbd they were encased in a blinding light. after a couple seconds it vanished revealing the four royals encased in four suits of armor,  Kopas armor was light red, Kovus was black, Kiaras was a light brown, and Vitanis was a light shade of purple.  What just happened? kiara said her voice muffled in the helmet that now coveed her head. " You are now wearing very powerful magical armor Kiara. It can protect you from pretty much anything, and can adjust to pretty much any climate. Think of it as a second skin. the boys colors matched their mane color, while i chose eye color for you girls.
-
I can't see anything in this thing" vitani complained as  Stripetail came up to her  and tapped her helmet " that better? " He smiled. " Yeah I can see now" vitani said. so exactly how do we take this off, " Kovu said as Stripetail tapped his helmet to allow him to see.. " you simply say 'armor down' and the armor will vanish..
_ Armor down" Kopa said, the armor disappeared and the four of the returned to normal.. " ok, that was really weird" Vitani said.. " you'll just need to get used to it.. the armor will adjust to you the longer you wear it, since you have no magic powers of your own, it will take longer than if you had magical abilities.." Stripetail said.. "Now, we need to get ready for when the spaceship arrives.. Pack everything and anything you think you may need..
_
 so it is just the 14 of us then? Scooby asked.. " No, to go after Chong will require a lot more than a small group, unfortunately..

"No answer" Aimee spoke as she handed the headset over to Darwin "Keep on trying to get into contact with Stripetail, he needs to know what we've found out so far"

"What about you?" Darwin asked.

"I'm going to take another look around the prison, see if I can find anything else that they might have left behind that'll be any sort of clue on where they've gone off to" Aimee replied back as she walked out of the room, leaving Darwin to keep on trying to get Streiptail on the line.

Stripetail's walktalkie buzzed "  I'm, hhere.. just attenbding to business. What have you found?
_
gumina came up to Kovu and the others " i'm Agumina.. welcome to the club..' she sm,miled " Look maybe this hero business works for you guys, but we actually are the leaders of our area.. we're royals " Kiara said.. ' yeah well agumon  is a leader too ' agumina pointed out ' hes a lord.. ' a lord huh? Kiara replied " Try being the absolute ruler of your world, thats my brother's and my job..anyway we already have a lot of demands on our time.. ' well then perhaps you guys shouldn't have signed up.. ' tiger said  shortly" You give him an inch and he'll take 50 miles out of you..trust me, i know from experience..
-
whos going to lead the new team Spyro asked.. "Good question, and I no idea" Kovu shrugged " we'll figured it out when we get there I guess..
_ Lets just get something to eat Scooby said as he operned the dinning room to reveal a large breakfast spread..

"We've tried to track down the ship Chong and his friend had used to escape in, but we have had no luck in that department I'm afraid.  Our options in tracking him down are starting to become quite limited" Darwin explained to Stripetail "So, what is it that you propose we do in the end? Will you require us to meet up with you in person?"

Yes meeting me in person is the best option.. so we can formulate a strategy.. "  I will be going after him, you can rest assured on that. i appreciate your efforts, chong is a slippery fellow i know this from experience"Stripetail said
_ Onboard the spaceship
 
 After a number of hair-raising moments, including nearly colliding with an asteriod.. the pair had managed to  settle into a stable flight it was themn  the screen in the ship began to glow ' so Hailey, were you successful in freeing Chong?' came a cold voice.. "Answer me, my dear!

"Alright, where are you located right now? Darwin asked "Any co-ordinates you are able to give me? As I will hand it to Aimee and in turn, we should be ready to leave as soon as we can"

***

Hailey looked at the voice and groaned slightly "Yes, I got him....but it was still difficult in the end, it would've been better if we had a plan to go by and not just, send me to the prison and somehow break him out"

I'm on earth at the coordinates t you should be getting now..Stripetail said We will be leaving in a spaceship tonight.. so you'd btter hurry..
_
My dear, I wanted to see if you had any abilities and shall we say, cunning. If I wanted to free Chong myself I wouldn;t have revived you, it would have taken me a few minutes at most to get in  free him and get out.. But why lower myself to doing that, when I can have my servants do it for me?" Mertavius replied..Your target is 2222 persecs away, at your current speed it will take you about 45 hours to get there

"Earth? Alright, I'll pass that onto Aimee and into, we should be arriving there in a few hours possibly, perhaps less than that" Darwin replied back as he hung up on Stripetail and  left the building to go and speak to Aimee again.

***

Hailey wasn't going to argue the point back, there was no need to anyway, but she did have to question something "What's the target? I mean, I just ask as I know what to look for"

A Ship known as the Phoenix, it houses the third incarnation of a restaraunt known as the Insane Cafe.. How you take it over I leave to you.. " Mertavius said.. :' Just know that my dear friend Stripetail is going to be coming after you, and unless you want this to  fail miserably, you will keep on the move and show no mercy to your prisoners..

"Wait, wait, wait, we're going to take over....a cafe?" Hailey asked "If we're going to take over a food chain cafe, then why not something like a Starbucks instead?" though, she didn't even understand why the Insane Cafe was all that important.

Because the Insane Cafe belongs to me" Chong said " I owned and ran it for 20 years before those fools had me thrown in prison then proceeded to get it blown up after it got infested with Shurlups! No, this is VERY personal.. and I get my revenge, extracted inch by inch from thier hides.. the ship is the means to the end..

Sara woke up and stretched as she then got of bed and cast a clean spell on herself instead of taking a morning shower, not sure how the tech here worked in the mansion.  Then cast a wide awake spell before she headed to the dining room or kitchen to see if there was any breakfast made.

"All right, let's go and get our weapons," Zachary said.

"Well, should we see how Surf Point is doing after the war?" Deimos said.

Dr. Zanasiu shrugged. "Sure, it's be nice to pay our respects to the dead."

Strut cleared his throat. "Let's wait until everyone's done with breakfast first."
