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

"Me? What's my problem? You....you're my problem" Gilda answered Spitfire back as she again, tossed another tomato at Spitfire, hitting her again in the face with it. "You're the one that just had to show up, and you just had to take my Dash away from me.  I don't care if you're the leader of the Wonderbolts....back off"

Spitfire just hovered there, just looking at Gilda as she pieced it all together and came to one simple conclusion "Me? Back off? I was the one that got here first and-" another tomato stuck her face, which was slowly starting to get on Spitfire's nerves.

"Like I said, I don't care....she doesn't deserve you" Gilda argued back, though a bit more casually as she ran a finger through what produce was left on the cart in question "And you don't deserve her" her fingers stopped at the watermellon that was available before digging her claws into it and picking it up.

Luckily for the allied fighters, the shockwave did no damage to them.

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

Twilight broke off the kiss. "It's what defeated the changlings in the first place."

She then giggled. "Now come on, let's go help the aliens clean up the town."

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

Captain Fairchild, Major Lockie and Lt. Martin flew back to the Spire of Winter to refuel and rearm.

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

Rainbow Dash and Rainbow landed by the destroyed fruit cart only to see Spitfire and Gilda arguing.

"Hey, come on, is there any reason I can't like both of you?" Dash said.

Rainbow looked at Spitfire. "Spitfire, the performance is still on, right?" She then turned to Gilda. "Hey, come on, let's not fight over something so trivial."

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

One of the colts went up to one of the soldiers guarding the town hall and tapped on his armored thigh.

"Mr. Alien," the colt said. "Are the monsters gone?"

The soldier scanned around. "They're gone."

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

Mr. Bigmouth waited for the machine gun to cool down. Spent brass was absolutely everywhere and the smell of smokeless powder and smoke hung in the air.

"So Riley," he said as he dug in his bag for two dust pans and brooms along with a plastic bag. "Mind helping me sweep up?"

Trixie smilled back to Twilight "Yeah, Twilight is right" she replied, giving off a small giggle herself as she followed Twilight off in order to help out as well "Also....Trixie loves Twilight" she giggled some more and gave Twilight another kiss on the lips.

***

Gilda still held onto the watermellon, still wanting to throw it at the Wonderbolt before Dash spoke up, causing herself to look to the side for the moment, not saying a word at all.

"Yeah, I mean....I wouldn't really mind sharing her as such..." Spitfire started, only for Gilda to interupt.

"It's not worth it" Gilda muttered somewhat, tossing the watermellon aside as she extended her wings "Dash used to be my mare....then we of course just had to have an arguement, things went sour....but of course, I return and find her with the Wonderbolt" she grabbed onto an apple instead and took a bit out of it before she took off, leaving Spitfire and Rainbow Dash alone.

Spitfire watched as Gilda left before looking to Rainbow Dash "Sorry about that" was all she said to begin with before she turned her attention to Rainbow "And sure, it's still on" she smiled contently to her.

Though, she did look at her uniform which didn't look all that great at the moment, but just shook her head lightly at it "I'll wash it later, guess we should help clean up around here huh?"

***

Riley nodded to Mr. Bigmouth and grabbed onto a broom for starters "Yeah, real mess around here, but glad it is over....could go for a rest when all this is finished" she spoke as she started to sweep away.

Mr. Bigmouth disassembled his machine gun and put it back in his bag. A bag full of spent brass was put into his messenger bag.

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

Applejack and Joan were helping Ms. Swimmer demolish a burnt out building.

"Ah gotta admit, y'all really can fight," Applejack said. "But the mess you leave behind is something totally different."

"I admit," Joan said, snapping a support beam with a kick and then leaping out of the way. "We do tend to make a mess when we fight."

"Mess is an underst5atement. We leveled half the town!" Ms. Swimmer said.

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

"Look at this mess!" Mayor Mare exclaimed as she saw a smoking crater in the middle of the street as well as burnt out buildings. "Even parasprites didn't do this much damage!"

"At least you survived," the soldier said.

"Guess we help with clean up now." Gnash said.

"That is part of most warfare.  It's best to not leave it for others to clean up what you helped cause." Jason said.

"And it helps one see some of the costs of battle." Brooklyn said.

The group moved and went to start to help with the cleaning up of the aftermath of the battle.

Pinkie Pie watched on as the others started to clean up the place, though rather slowly as she let off a small groan "This is taking too long" she shook her head a little and gasped rather loudly "Work montage time!"

"Work montage?" Fluttershy asked Pinkie Pie.

"Yup, it'll help everyone else clean up much more quickly" Pinkie Pie replied back as she started to bound off as music begun to play in the background.

***

"And done!" Pinkie Pie then added in rather cheerfully, showing that Ponyville had indeed been cleaned up in a matter of moments.

"Okay....what just happened?" Riley asked, looking a bit confused as anything.

"I believe it was a work montage, well....that's what Pinkie called it anyway" Fluttershy answered Riley as Pinkie bounded over, giving Fluttershy a kiss on the lips before bounding off, leaving the pegasus to just blush away.

(ooc: Yeah, thought that would the best way to get it all done more quickly instead of playing out the whole "cleaning up" sequence ordeal)

(Spire of Winter)

Captain Carson, Scootaloo and one of the pilots had decided to take a flight over Winterville. Her radio beeped. "Sorry Scootaloo, but I've got to meet Princess Celestia."

She then turned and headed back to the hangar.

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

(Ponyville)

"Hey Spitfire, I think the Princess wants us to perform for the aliens at the castle," Rainbow Dash said as she stood by Rainbow.

"I'll go tell my friends,"Rainbow said as she spooled up her engines and soared into the sky.

"All right," Dr. Zanasiu said, as he boarded a repulsorsled. "Let's go back to the ship clean up and not look like we had just been through a war."

"Which we did," Joan replied, dusting off her armor.

"Yeah, I'm going to have to head off to Canterlot first, go and get our team ready" Spitfire told Rainbow Dash "So, I guess I'll meet you in Canterlot huh Dashie?" she asked, giving Dash a small kiss upon the lips before she took off for Canterlot herself.

***

Riley was still looking a bit concerned "I still haven't seen Jackson lately, anyone know where he's gone off to? Cause I'm sure he's going to want to meet the Princess as well"

***

(Zecora's Hut)

Jackson had indeed, been hanging out with Zecora for most of the time, just trying to get some potions together that they could use on their trip as he placed them all into a bag of his own.

Zecora in turn, handed him another vial "It's a shame that you remain here still, when I understand there has been fighting in Ponyville"

Jackson took the vial and put it away as well "I understand, but I do trust that everyone else would handle the situation at hand.  Besides, figured that we could use any sort of help requried, even if it's not the fighting kind"

***

(Spire of Winter)

"Alright, alright, we'll stay here and look after the stuff" Scootaloo spoke back with a smile upon her face as she watched as Captain Carson headed off.

"I hear rumors we're supposed to meet some princess." Gnash said walking up to Jason's group, after seeing the town all fixed up by whatever Pinkie did.  "I was hoping we could rest a bit from the fight, heal up and clean up and such." Gnash said.  

""I"m sure we can still do that." Brooklyn said looking at Jason.  

"We can, you forget, with the tardis we could take a few days off, or a few years, and still arrive in Canterlot in time for the meeting."

"Jinkies, that is right." Velma said.  "But what about those rules of time that you've mentioned?" Velma asked as she looked at Jason, as she rubbed one of her shoulders.  

"As long as we stay away from Canterlot, and our future selves stay away from Ponyville, both during this time frame we'll be perfectly ok.  Technically we'd be bending the first law of time a bit, but no problems.  Lets' see if any ponies need looking after then go into the tardis."

"I hope we're not late for the party." Guilmon said.  

"That's ok.  When we're ready we can go go a few months or a year into canterlot's future, look at the newspaper archives.  They are sure to mention when the meeting with the princesses takes place. Since if it's anything like most places, anything royalty does is always first page news.  Then we can go back and be in time to the meeting." Jason said.  

"Good idea." Brooklyn said before the group decided to do a walk around to see if any pony, or other folks needed help.

Meanwhile on the planet known as monsteropolis.. chong was busy trying to get supplies-- and directions- for thier next stop. the need to keep away from Stripetail and his friends drove him. it did not matter that he hasd given half his soul to a demonic pony, or that was likely a pawn to a much greater evil, what chong wanted was base.. to get revenge. by making Nick, Aves and Kerzach suffer..
- nick was forced to go into a factory which ran on kids screams and cries of fear ' Kerzach? what exactly are we supposed to be looking for in here? He asked, gaxing around at the various jars..

Dr. Kerzach sighed as he looked at a list he kept in his pockets. A slave from the Pony Planet accompanied them. "Five full canisters of scream."

He looked at the factory. Employees and guards were everywhere. If it weren't for the fact this was an open house event, they would have been kicked out or even arrested.

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

(Spire of Winter)

Captain Carson returned with a elegant naval style uniform and a hat. A few medals decorated her uniform

She adjusted her outfit and hopped into her dune buggy. "Be good!" she called out to the CmC  as she exited onto the plains

The future Jason and his group were walking along in Canterlot, having just exited from his tardis.    All were wearing very formal attire, enchanted to remain clean and dry.

"Nice place.  Arriving early and walking does let one enjoy things more as well as getting the feel of things better." Jason said.  

"Still feels odd, knowing that there are us in the tardis in ponyville." Gnash said.

"It would not do to appear before a princess for a formal meeting with bruises, injuries and such." Jason said.

"Are you sure this is ok?" Gnash said.

"As long as we remain in this city of Canterlot and go no where near Ponyville yes." Jason said.

"Nice to see this place again." Brooklyn said.  

"Some snooty looking ponies." Guilmon said looking at the distance.  

"Well, unfortunately there are those types everywhere." Brooklyn said.  

"Best to avoid them." Velma said.  "Ignore them."

Hailey herself, was inside the factory, though not doing work herself, but more supervising others at the moment, considering the fact that she was more or less Chong's right hand person right now.  Her eyes looked around as she gave off a stretch as she just stood there, although was almost run over by monsters wheeling along canisters of scream.

***

(Ponyville)

Aimee and Darwin had returned from the ship and were for now, meeting up with the others in Ponyville.  Yet, Aimee was already quick to note one thing "Okay, where is Jackson?"

"Not sure, we haven't seen him lately" Riley replied back "He was missing when those....things attacked us, destroyed the town in the process"

"Destroyed the town?" Aimee asked back, noting at how....not destroyed it was.

"Pinkie Pie" Riley explained back.

"But of course..." Aimee groaned before she looked to some of the other ponies gathered around "Excuse me, have any of you seen my friend? Guy around out height, black skin? Alien?"

The ponies all shook their heads back, except for one "I saw him! He headed into....the Everfree Forest" the pony gulped somewhat.

"Wow, I didn't know Pinkie could do that.  Are you sure she's not secretly a unicorn since that looked like it could be a spell to me." Spike said, not sure how Pinkie had done what she had done.  "So what is next on the list of things to do?" Spike asked, looking to see if he had a list.

everyone here? Stripetail said as his team came up top him.. ' i trust the issue with the hostage was taken care of. just a reminder though, try not to utterly wreck a town while on a rescue midssion.. it requires magicalk repair restition, and salving nerves and egos.'
 Like during the games " dixies said " well yes that was mostly Gabriel and the weasels doings, although we did have a few issues with overactive security..
 I sure had fun Kovu smirked.. beating up on bad guys beats having to read the same patro;l reports every day.
 hey now kovu, don't start comp[laning about that now Kopa replied giving his brother-in-law a look. " if you have an issue with the reports come talk to me..
 i'm just saying get me some action.. flex my muscles ' Kovy smiled ' Now my brtother wants to be a hero " vitani said '
 the meeting is at 7.  Stripetail said.

Jackson had soon enough returned with the bag full of vials, along with Zecora as well as he himself approached Aimee.

"So, what's in the bag?" Aimee asked.

"Just a few different vials full of all sorts of potions that Zecora and I were brewing up, and don't worry, they're all labled too" Jackson replied back.

Riley gave off a small little snicker "Wow, didn't think you'd be into that sort of stuff"

Jackson glanced over to Riley "Hey, we needed the help, and I was there to offer it, which is why I wasn't around to help defend the town from that attack earlier on"

"Well now Jackson it seems as though all is done, perhaps it is time that I return back home" Zecora told Jackson as she looked back towards Everfree Forest.
