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

Captain Carson nodded. "All right, Nick, Kerzach. You both are in the reserves. If they call for backup, you'll be on the next shuttle down. Is that clear?"

"Crystal," Dr. Kerzach replied.

"All right then. Move out!"

The Pelvanida group hustled out of the tavern and hailed an electric taxi to take them to the armory.

As they left, Captain Carson turned to Nani, Stitch, Lilo, Shaggy and the others. "Everyone else, I need volunteers in case they call for backup as assisting in communications and logistics."

"The tardis has scanned the time-line and has picked the best time for us to appear.  You sure you are comfortable with your equipment?" Jason said looking at the others, "We'll be in the fringes, some may not knew we were even there since others will take the credit." Jason said.  

"We are.  Just not sure where you got some of this stuff from." Brooklyn said.

"Some from various smiths I had make for past missions.  Or some I made myself, or one of my fragments made." Jason said.  "We're close to transmitting out, everyone get ready. He said.

========

"Sounds like they are going down for a mission." Sara said to the other 2 dragonesses she was with.

The Pelvanida Group was armed and ready as they waited in the vehicle bay for the signal to board the shuttles. The living planes were strapped onto large platforms that were designed to accomodate their landing gear. A shield generator protected them from the heat of reentry.

-----------

Captain Carson got the results from the probes back. The planet was perfectly safe ó no space suits or other breathing gear was necessary.

"Okay. Everyone get ready to make sure things are okay.  I'm giving the order to launch now!" She pressed a button on the console.

--------

"That's the signal! Go! Go! Go!" Deimos shouted as a deep bell-like sound reverborated in the vehicle bay. Every one of the crew hustled to whatever shuttle was available. The living planes' space platforms lifted slightly off the ground and passed through the open blast doors into space. The planet of Clockwerk stood out against the inky black of space.

The vessels glowed white hot as plunged through the planet's atmosphere. As they descended, their repulsorlifts and airbrakes activated and began to slow the vessel down.

"Okay, we're near theóthe f--- was that!?" An arrow pinged off the vehicle's bulletproof windshield.

The pilot scanned for the source of the fire and saw several Crane Archers firing at them.

He also recieved reports from the other shuttles taking fire. He hastily rang up Captain Carson. "Captain Carson! We are taking fire!"

"You have permission to engage! Captain Carson out."

The pilot turned to the gunner/copilot and nodded. The Vixen opened up with the shuttle's 30 mm autocannon, routing the archers and pulverizing the ramparts.

Just when they thougt everything was over, a massive explosion rocked the vessel. "S---! We lost our engines! Hang on!" the pilot shouted. He then radioed Spire of Winter. "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Spire of Winter, this is Lander One! We have lost our engines to hostile fire!"

-----------

Outside, rockets streaked into the sky as Japanese Macaque rocketeers took aim and attacked the landing shuttles. While the rockets were unguided and the shuttles moving fairly quickly, the sheer number of rockets launched all but ensured a hit. And with the large explosive payload, a single hit was easily capable of destroying the shuttles' armored engines

Kiara had a bump on her leg. "Kovu...are you ok?" she asked, seeing the slight amount of blood on him.

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

"Can we do anything for you master?" Penelope, Guru, and Murray asked, failing to find the gang.

-  I dont think we're going to find a warm reception around herre' Agumon said. ' We cant say here Agumon' Dixie said
 Nick spat out blood as he stumbled out of the shuttle ' Kerach! you ok? he coughed. he had a large bump on the land, and possibly a concussion.
-   some the macaques began firing towards the Spire Of Winter Itself..

"My radar detected something just crashed on the planet guys," Bentley informed his teammates.

"Challenge time," Dimitri grinned.

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

"We aren't going to like this place," Kiara and Vitani nodded

Dr. Kerzach nodded. He drew his enchanted switchblade. "Well, we're going to have someógas!" he yelled as he saw gouts of yellow smoke being sprayed by several Mice wearing gas masks and hazmat suits.

"Just great!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted.

"Get into the shuttle and put the space suits on!" Mr. Bigmouth shouted as he shot at the gas troopers.

Ms. Swimmer slammed her staff into the ground, raising a crackling lightning sphere around her that vaporized the arrows heading their way. "We must retreat!"

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

The Spire of Winter's point-defense lasers easily shot down the missiles but with the sheer amount of them, they would eventually get through. To make matters worse, these missiles carried a much larger payload than the ones that downed the shuttles.

Sara did a spell to protect her from vacuum and the atmosphere then she flew towards the planet.  Seeing the rockets she then did a spell so she'd be undetectable, which would give her time to survey the area and get more information.  

------

Seeing that he was ignored Gron used had the symbiote extract part of itself to form a thin tentacle.  Then using it to peer over Bently's shoulder to see where the crash happened slipped out to head off in that general direction, continuing to change his appearance here and there so he couldn't be trailed.

-------

"Get ready, Let's go." Jason said.  

"Even though we've not materialized & are in the time vortex still?" Gnash said.

"The time lords more then mastered Transmat technology when human ancestors were thinking the leaving the trees to look for food in the plains & grasslands of Africa may be a good idea.  While the ancestors of the chimps thought that was a bad idea and remained where they were." Jason said.  "Here we go." He said before the transmat took effect.

(Clockwerk)

Ms. Swimmer, Deimos and Mr. Bigmouth simply put on their air purifying gems. Ms.
Swimmer raised a wall of lightning that kept Deimos and Mr. Bigmouth safe.

Deimos reloaded his .50 caliber rifle as Mr. Bigmouth gave him covering fire with the .50 caliber machine gun he had pulled out of his messenger bag.

"Incoming!" Dr. Zanasiu yelled as a rocket arced towards them. By now, the battlefield was wreathed in toxic yellow gas clouds. A lightning bolt from Ms. Swimmer vaporized the projectile.

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

The living planes were hammering the enemy troops with rockets, bombs and autocannon fire but they never let up.

"What kind of arrows are these?" Captain Fairchild asked as he launched a volley of fragmentation rockets towards an approaching platoon of archers. Several arrows were actually lodged in his airframe. Not deep enough to reach his vital systems but they still managed to pierce his armor.

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

(RICMS Spire of Winter)

"Understood!" Captain Carson replied. The ship shook as a missile made it through.

"Warning! Main radiator damaged!" the AI said.

"F---! And that's one of the most important parts!" Captain Carson activated the ship's ion drives to push it out of geosynchronous orbit so they could safely land.

"Yes, let's," Kiara nodded, her armor fully protecting her too.

"Gotta make it to the next town," Vitani said

Sara started casting spells to deflect some of the arrows.  Then a spell to cause a burst of extreme heat, aiming those at some of the archers when she could.  

Invisibly a morphed velma used a bow that shot a special crystal type arrow that was a crystal arrow that was very hard to see since it had the same refraction as air.  The arrow would fly forward and once it hit a solid target would explode into very thin needle like shards that flew apart above the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom at the spot where the arrow exploded.  

Brooklyn flew wielding a special crafted sword, who's blade had fire around it.  As he attacked the attackers the blade would cut physical things like a normal sword would, the fire would cause burn damage to the person's very soul.

Smia And Dulcy  starting using fire breath to help Sara fight off the attacks from Clockwerks forces.
 The team near the shuttle was soon being pressed back from the mice shooting poison gas at them '  How long can these suits hold out?' kopa said as  as he let forth a magical roar with knocked a few mice back " about two hours' Dixie said ' the suits recycle the air you breathe and purify it, its saved our lives on a number of occasions."
 Good to know Kovu said as he ducked a fsh volley. the shuttle jad arrows sticking out of it like a pin cushion.
 the Spire of Winter now entered the atmosphere at an angle..
