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

(Thanks :)  )

Sara Nodded, "Yes, that does sound like fun." She said smiling as she set down her coffee.  "Imagine the fun we can have doing that, besides the fact that Minigolf can be fun." She said to them.  That could well lead to other types of fun.  But only time would tell.

"Good race, you guys," Kiara told to Kopa and Kovu. "Now it's time for our mission." The queen and the other 3 lions each had an elemental power thanks to their armor.

"Hi guys!" Eric smiled, waving at the people Laval brought him to. "What are you all up to? And what should we do today?"

He looked happily around at the place Laval brought him to. "This is the greatest place! You should have brought me here sooner, Laval! But don't worry Laval, I won't hold it against you!"

"That race really got my appetite up," Kiara said to Kovu, "How about we look for a place with fish? I'm in the mood for seafood."

.........

Oliver meanwhile had changed into his Catman outfit for the game. "Here I come, to claw at evil!" he declared.

The Arkeyan Show Cruiser landed in the drydock at Tonfon. Amazingly, it fit perfectly, making Captain Carson wonder if they catered to flying vessels here. Thanks to the ornate design of the ship, it drew quite a large crowd.

A boarding ramp descended from the ship's rear as Captain Carson and her crew carefully wheeled a cart containing a shield generator down.

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

The group had arrived at the tea house. It was a medium sized hut near the palace that proudly advertised all sorts of food. Unfortunately, it was almost full but there was a table near the kitchen that Stripetail and his group were placed.

A waiter poured everyone steaming cups of jasmine tea.

Ms. Swimmer looked at the tea. She thanked the waiter but took a slow sip of the hot liquid. The liquid tasted exactly like the essential water she had drank back at the Battle of Surf Point but it was overlaid with the notes of tea. Mindful of her non-magical physiology, she put the cup down and did not drink any further.

Mr. Bigmouth aimed his tricorder in the cup of tea. Unfortunately for him, the tricorder displayed an "out of range" message. He placed a hand on the helmet of his anti-radiation suit and sighed through the suit's speakers. "Stripetail, would it be impolite for the non-magical crew to excuse ourselves seeing as the food itself is extremely magical and consumption may have ill-effects?"

No" stripetail said as he sipped his tea " We need to find lodgings for the time being, and it is easy enough to say that you are dealing with that task. also installing a magic damper, for those not used to magic, so that the non-magics in my team can at least walk around the inside of an inn without having to wear their protective armor. Try and find a large one, If you can ' he aded.
_
 Well i think we should go for a ride around town' EriS suggested to Eric " Eric you can come with me, and Laval and li'ella can ride by themselves.. ' i'm in a mood, for a scenic ride in the outdoors. How about You Eric?' after this we can go to that movie. Li'ella is paying after all.' She laughed.
-
Man you are really getting into character Oliver " Luca said with a smile as she watched the kitten bring over his catman figures, to join the fray.. '
Yes ! Its Catman' Mona said in characters ' he'll stop those nasty trolls. " Flash puled out a dice'  each number is a diferent power- 1 is fog, 2, frost breathg. 3 lightning, 4, hypnotic hair 5 is stink breath, and 6 is roling rock.' she said roling the die. it came up 4" and Flash waved the frizzy haired toy in front of mona ' Now your dolls  are hyponitized ' the purple pup grinned and they have to.. um ' Form a conga line and sing "
-
 i'll turn on the jukebox ' Mona laughed, and music began coming out of the device.'Everyone in line.. yes catman, monsters and tRols too.,. Only fair' mona said ' Everyone likes to dance ' The two girls began laugh loudly..

Mr. Bigmouth got a radio message from Captain Carson. "Sveta," he said. "You'll have to excuse us but we have some affairs that we need to attend to."

"You're wimping out on us now!? You promised you'd help us get Chong!" Tyrell snapped.

"Easy," Sveta said as she nibbled on a Kaochao dumpling. "They may have reasons to leave right now."

"We have to assist in setting up a shield generator in the inn so we can safely function without these suits." Mr. Bigmouth pushed his chair in and exited the teahouse. Ms. Swimmer and the rest of the non-magical crew followed.

They need those devices in order to safely operate. They don't have magic like us " Stripetail explained to Tyrell " and This worlds is very dangerous for them if they are exposed to magic without any protection. They will help drive Chong out" he said confidently.

"I can be swift on my paws," Oliver smiled, beginning to sway to the music. His cape from his costume swayed.

"He can dance, did you give him lessons?" Other Oliver asked Arlene.

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

"Hungry for fish?" Kiara asked the other lions.

"Strawberry for me, please," Oliver said to his mother, strawberry was the young orange cat's favorite flavor. He licked his lips at the thought of it.

"I'll take chocolate," Other Oliver asked the grown ups politely.

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

"Up for fish?" Kiara asked her family members.

 Luca wrote down what the kids wanted then turned to Arlene " i'll be back in 15-20 minutes. Make sure Mona behaves herself>" she said and headed out of the room.
_
 Scooby and the others reached the largest inn in tonfon, and swerved to avoid passersby on their vehicles." So We check in and get rooms for the night? Gabuna said, still adjusting to her new armor " thats the plan Tigeress nodded." We could stay in groups of 4 based on rank.' that would put Spyro and Me with the Doos " cynder said "Agumon and Agumina you'd be with Tiger and tigeress. Stitch And angel would go With Ratchet and Angela. next the 4 lions. And Gabuna and Gabumon  would be last and By themselves."
_ Why dont we go 3 pairs to a room.? Gabumon said " that way, no one is left out. and we go based on who we want to go with" Are the rooms big enough for 6 though? Scooby said.." What the heck, We'll ask inside

"Sure thing," Kiara nodded, "Where shall we go explore, Kovu?" she asked her mate.

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

"Thanks in advance for the ice cream mom," Oliver said, giving Arlene a quick hug.

...........

"I need a new subject," Bentley observed, "Dimitri is just one person, and the formula could respond differently based on species." He looked over a list of everyone on board the ship

A crowd gathered to watch one of the dune buggies heading to the Eastern Inn where Scooby and the others were heading.

Mr. Bigmouth and Ms. Swimmer helped wheel the shield generator into one of the ground floor rooms that Captain Carson had booked. Much of the guests were staring at the group, assuming them to be golems or other magical constructs.

Luckily, setting up the shield generator was quick and easy. Except for finding a place to vent the steam produced by the open cycle cooling system. That was accomplished with some creative use of some pipes and the wood stove in the room. With a dull hum, the shield generator was activated and.

Mr. Bigmouth began reading the magic level on his tricorder. It had soon dropped to about 100 megathaums. Strong enough to cause some minor effects but otherwise harmless.

He took off his helmet and radioed Stripetail. He swore as he realized his handheld radio wasn't powerful enough to overcome the interference from the planet's magical field. He put his helmet back on and headed back to the teahouse.

theres a general store over there it looks like " Kovu said " you can do what you like Kiara, but right now I think we need to  split up. cover more of the city that way. Just my 2 cents.
_
 Vushu was  reading a book from her native mawashii, once of the few that was not ozai-centric.
_
Kitty  was walking around With Tiger, the large cat was in the mood for pizza and the pair were looking for a pizza place to enjoy a few slices.

We can certainly ask if theres enough room for 3 couples " spyro=W said, "Just rent 3 rooms, I say, and each can arrange who sleeps in what ir, or on a cot , or coach, or something' Spyro said, his purple eyes twinkling." i call remote ' tiger said. see if this place has any hunting channels.. ' i'd wager it mostly has magical programming Gabumon said, " given all the magic around." " well this place looks like a great place to go on vacation' gabuna said "What do you say Agumon/ take a Digimon Holiday here sometime?"  Well That would be a cool thing to do, although It would likely need to wait until after this Chong business is concluded." Agumon said." first things first, we deal with chong, and make you and Gabumon comfortable on the team. What Dont we we have Scooby, Spyro and Tiger anf their partners in one room, Me Gabumon and Stitch and our partners in another room and Kopa Kovu and Ratchet and their partners in the 3rd one?
_
 Problem is, I would have to have one of the beds Ratchet said " As I have clank and angela with me. ' Then Kopa and Sis get the cot " Kovu smirked " hey bro, you lost the wings contest..' didnt i agree to pay for dinner already? Kopa replied : Well You also agreed to anything the winner might want.. "
_ Fine fine We'll get the cot" Kopa grumbled. as the team entered the inn ans headed to the clerk desk to check in.

"I do like a coffee in the morning.  There are so many types of coffee, across the worlds, universes, and so on." Sara said, thinking of some of the travels she had had with Jason in the past.  Quite a few different coffee's she had tried during her travels.

Kiara snuggled up to Kovu as they entered the inn. "Nice little town this place is," she said, looking around and out the windows. She then read a brochure to see what their hotel rooms had to offer for those who stayed in them.

"We should also test out our powers while we're here," the pride queen smiled.

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

Oliver and the other kids continued their fun and games on the ship.

"Stripetail, Sveta, Tyrell, we have successfully checked into the Eastern Inn." Mr. Bigmouth looked over the two.

Tyrell stood up. "Good! Let's go get Chong then!" His outburst attracted some stares.

Sveta motioned for the Mars Adept to calm down. "I see," she said. "However, if Chong is as powerful as you say he is, Stripetail, then I worry about the nonmagical members of your group."

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

Captain Carson began turning one of the hotel rooms into a makeshift command center. A mana-fueled generator hummed away in the corner of the room, providing power to all the electrical equipment that had been placed.

Including a repeater that allowed radio communications. She then radioed Stripetail. "Stripetail, this is Captain Carson. We have the command center set up in the Eastern Inn. Captain Carson out."

She then sat on a chair and brewed some tea she had carried in the Arkeyan Show Cruiser.

' you can play as the dollhouse characters Flash, and this time, you're showing the place off to prospective people- in this case my trolls, who are tired of living in caves and want to live  in a nice quiet place with a pond.' she giggled " you read a ton of books dont you ' Flash replied as they put the dollhouse and cave set away ' of course, have to learn about the world anyway' Mona said. what places are safe, which arent. who your friends are, that sort of thing. i've learned a lot from my mom about those things.
