Author's Notes: I own nothing but Klaww, the man in the blue-green mask, and the crazed furred dragon (their names will be revealed unless you can guess who).

Triple belongs to Dragon. Of. Chaos97.


Chapter 5: New Ally and a New Enemy

"[Off-key] ~I'm walking on sunshine...sunshine is so pretty it makes me feel so happy...Sunshine is the best medicine...~" sang the blue-green mask wearing man as he walked through a village of straw huts.

"SHUT UP!" yelled Sonic throwing his alarm clock at the man who ducked under it.

"Missed me!" said the man blowing a raspberry at the hedgehog before the kitchen sink collided with his face...er, mask and he collapsed in a heap.

"Owie! Who throws a kitchen sink?!"

Suddenly the man finds himself surrounded with Miles' Plasma Cannon pointed at him along with Antione's sword pointed at his neck.

"EEEEEP! SIREN A GOOD BOY! SIREN NOT MEAN TO BE ANNOYING!" cried the masked man before a tired Klaww and Triple walk onto the scene and the man becomes a red-black-blue-green blur and hides behind Klaww.

"Klaww! Save Siren! Siren not want to die! Siren is good boy!" said the man as he cowered behind Klaww.

"Ease up guys. He's on our side." said Klaww before he turned around and looked at the man, "So...who are you? Siren or Klaxon?"

"Is it really that hard to tell your own grandfather from an alternate double?" said Klaxon standing up, his voice deep and somewhat dark as he removed his mask to reveal a scar over his left eye along with four on his left cheek and another scar over his right eye.

"It is when you use your alternate's name."

"Sorry. I couldn't think of a better crazy persona name." said Klaxon with a toothy smile, "Unless you prefer 'Tobi'?"

"No! I don't want you to have that guy's name! It doesn't fit you!" said Klaww grabbing Klaxon by the throat and strangling him.

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" said Klaxon as he was shook back and forth as he was strangled.

Everyone present sweat-drops at the scene between the two as Triple chuckles off to the side.


Swatbot Factory; Dusk...

*EXPLOSIONS!*

"[Demonic] HAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Demon Klaww as he rode down the metal alleyways of the small city built around the factory, shooting Swatbots with his pistol or just plain running them over with the Demon-cycle.

"Can't catch me!" said Klaxon mooning the Swatbots before he took off running while laughing like a loon.

*EXPLOSION!*

Demon Klaww rode up the side of the bridge railing overlooking the river and stopped halfway over because Swatbots blocked his exit and closed in. He then had the bike slide down the side of the bridge into the polluted water below causing the Swatbots to come close to the edge of the bridge and point their weapons where Klaww would appear. Suddenly the bike erupted from the water doing a wheelie and Klaww flipped them off as he floored the gas.

"[Demonic] SUCKERS!" said Demon Klaww as he drove off across the water.

Miles, Sonic, T.D, Rotor, Sally, Triple and Tails were watching a fair distance away from everything and Tails who was looking through binoculars saw Klaww flip the robots off and turned towards Sally.

"Aunt Sally, what's the middle finger stand for?" asked the two-tailed fox innocently and everybody present tensed.

"Uh, why do you ask Tails?" asked Sally calmly.

"I just saw Klaww do it to some Swatbots."

"We'll tell you when you're older." said Sonic quickly.

"Awwww." groaned Tails sadly.

*EXPLOSION!*

"WOOOOO-HOOOOO-HOOOOO-HOOOOOO!" screamed Klaxon as he was blasted from the city which was now nothing but a flaming inferno before he landed face-first in front of the group and then instantly got up like nothing happened.

"YAY! That was fun! Let's do it again!" said the masked man childishly.

"Uh...your cloak's on fire." said Miles pointing at the burning cloak.

"It is?" said Klaxon before he looked at his cloak and saw the flames licking at it, "NO WONDER IT'S GETTING HOT! OWOWOWOWOWHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!"

Klaxon ran around in circles for five minutes before he stopped and the flames seemed to be gone before he was engulfed in fire.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! FIRE!" screamed Klaxon running for the river.

*Splash!*

"AAAAHH! THIS WATER'S POLLUTED WITH GASOLINE!"

*EXPLOSION!*

"Why meeeeeeeeeeee?!" screamed Klaxon as he disappeared into the night sky as Demon Klaww drove up and skidded to a stop.

"[Demonic] That idiot. He always finds time to goof off." said Demon Klaww.

"[Demonic] Come on. Let's head back before Robotnik finds us."

*Engine Revs!*

Only a trail of red-black lightning remains before it goes out.

"Cheater." muttered Sonic before he took off, followed closely by Triple and Miles, the rest going as fast as they can.

"Wha-?! How are you two as fast as me?!" said Sonic shocked.

"You'd be surprised of how 6 years trying to keep with you would do to you." said Miles with a smirk.

"With me, three tails add more speed. See ya!" said Triple before he zoomed ahead of them causing Miles and Sonic's mouths to drop.


Knothole; 45 Minutes Later...

The entire group returns as the sun begins to rise and they see Klaww with Ice covering his fur as he walks into the sunlight yet doesn't start burning up.

"Okay, what's with the ice?" said Sonic.

"Ice helps keep me from burning up in the sun. Just because I'm vulnerable to sunlight doesn't mean I don't enjoy it." said Klaww.

"Are you sure?" said a very familiar and crazed voice to Klaww and Triple and the two look to see a dragon sitting on one of the huts. The dragon's scales were stainless steel in color with a plain grey underbelly, his tail blade was a gold lightning bolt, his wings arced lightning between them which seemed to give them the appearance of being MADE from lightning, his horns shone in the early-morning light, his thin layer of silver fur covering his back, neck, and face was very mangy, and his teeth were a very bright white. His eyes twitched sporadically as his tail swayed behind him in anxiety.

"Backlash." said Klaww narrowing his eyes.

"Hello Klaww, Triple. Long time no see huh? huh? huh? What's a bunch of murderers like you two doing here, hmm? What you doing? What you doing?" said Backlash in his high-speed language and all of the Freedom Fighters' eyes widen at the word "murderers".

"I told you and the others it was in self-defense!" snarled Klaww, red-black lightning licking off him.

"Says the freak who hangs with another freak!"

"THAT'S IT! You can insult me, but insult Triple, I'm gonna wipe the floor with your sugar-high brains!" yelled Klaww firing a beam of Demon Lightning at the dragon but he just dodged it.

Miles then disappeared from sight and reappeared above Backlash, his right arm morphed into a sledgehammer-like weapon before the dragon whirls around and somehow traps Miles in an invisible force-field, causing Miles to have his arms stuck to his side.

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" said Backlash circling Miles with an insane smirk on his face before he grabbed Miles' chest and ripped off his fur and flesh revealing metal underneath.

"You're nothing but pure metal, one of my specialties." said Backlash with a smirk as he bounced around on his feet.

"AAAAHHHH!" cried Miles as he felt his body tighten up on him.

"See? I could have you either implode or explode. You're...hahaha...at my mercy."

"If you kill him Backlash, there'll be hell to pay." growled Klaww as his red-black lightning danced around him and Triple had his tails charge up Plasma beams at the tips.

"No! If anything, you're the one who should pay! You killed Fang for no reason!" said Backlash tightening the field around Miles a bit.

"I said it was in self-defense!"

"Yeah, right. Like it was a 'monster' who originally killed Fang. I'm not falling for anymore of your lies freak!"

Artificial blood vessels on Miles ruptured causing him to bleed and cry out in pain and Tails to hide his face in Sally's leg.

"I'm warning you Backlash, let...Miles...go."

"No! You're in no position to demand things freak!"

"I am a Commander of the WarFang Army, while you are nothing but a Private!"

"Like I give a sh** about rank! You're a fallen commander Klaww, so you have no authority over me!"

"You're pushing the line Backlash!"

"Tell me the truth freak or the robotic fox dies!" said Backlash tightening the field around Miles 'til electricity was sparking out of him.

"Fine! You want the truth?! Here's the truth!" said Klaww pulling the crystal off his neck and showing it to Backlash.

"I'm trying to regain my re-creation ability with my Demon Lightning just so I can bring my slagging brother back! Happy you slagging idiot?!"

"No." said Backlash opening his fist and then time seemed to slow down as he began clenching it shut again...
