(WOW, we've hardly scratched the surface, huh? Well, this time we'll be returning to Claus' side of the story, because I know I've gotta hurry his story a smidge. Anyways, enjoy.)
Claus and his friends had begun their little detour to get Pigmask suits to infiltrate Thunder Tower. The factory was almost empty of nothing but the employees.
"Okay, Claus. Let's say we're here for part time work." Fuel suggested, "Good call. Kumatora, you may want to stay out here."Claus said, "Yeah, no s@&. Just don't take too long, got it?" She asked, the three boys nodded. "Right, let's go." Claus said, walking and keeping cautious of the Cattlesnakes nearby.
At the entrance stood one of the Pigmask sentries, "You three again? Here for more work?" He asked them. "U-Uh, yeah. We just needed a bit of DP for something we're saving up on." Fuel lied, before they're acting like the kids saving up money for a toy or whatever those video game things are.
"Haha, I guess so. Now if you would follow me." The Pigmask said, leading them into the main room. "I bet there are some Claymen in running amuck that'll need your help to—" Claus waited until he was nowhere near any reinforcements to knock out the Pigmask.
"I can't tell if these guys are pushovers or an actual threat on their own sometimes." Claus said, "Don't you think that was a bit much?" Fuel asked. "I only knocked him out. He's not dead. Come on, let's use his keycard to look through the locker rooms." Claus then said.
Boney sniffed around, making sure there was no one nearby. He wasn't gonna let someone take Claus like they did Lucas. "Woof woof!(Smells like someone's up ahead.)" Boney warned. Claus looked over and saw that another sentry had walked in on the other guy.
The sentry didn't freak out but instead acted nonchalant, "Dude, I told you to lay off that wine." He said, picking the sentry up. "He…DOESN'T think something's off?" Claus asked himself, "How did these clowns ever take over the islands?"
"Boney, don't say a word." Claus quietly said, making sure they weren't caught before the sentry left with his compatriot.
"Let's go." Fuel said, heading into the next room, over. "Fuel, you can pick locks, right?" Claus asked. "Let's just hope they aren't combination ones. I can't stand those." Claus sighed, hoping there wouldn't be the case.
(Later)
"You've gotta be kidding me, d@&¿!" Fuel said, holding his hand out to his best friend."Hand me your stick." He said, "What?" Claus asked. "Your stick. Hand it over." Fuel said, Claus looked unsure of what he was going to do, but then it shocked him.
Fuel was given Claus's stick and he proceeded to trying and break the lock by brute strength. "Fuel, what are you doing?!" Claus looked on, hearing the loud noises of an angry thief-in-training. "Almost got it!" Fuel said, breaking a few other lockers for the other clothes.
Surprisingly, this was working. Claus then could hear someone was coming, "Hide, now!" Claus shouted to his friends, but only Boney responded and they hid behind a locker.
"You! What on earth are you doing to the lockers?" Fuel realized Claus was no longer next to him and saw someone who looked like a captain. "U-Uh…I-I'm just…trying to get my uniform." Fuel said, "I forgot my combination and I didn't know what to do, so…I just…beat the locker senselessly." Fuel explained, hoping that would be a good lie. "And you didn't think to call your superior, why?" The captain had asked. "I left my…communicator in the locker, as well."
The captain just sighed, "Fine, I'll forgive you for this outbreak of destruction. Just hurry and return to your post when you're done." The captain had said. "Of course, sir." Fuel said, putting the stick down.
The captain walked off, "And tell the others sentries that the lockers you broke will come out of their DP-Check." He said. "Uh…Yes sir." Fuel said, waiting for the captain to leave. Claus and Boney walked back to their friend. "I can't believe that worked." Claus whispered, "Hrrrhmmm…(For real. Why are these guys so stupid?)" Boney asked.
(Here's hoping the Piggies that owned the lockers'll be recompensed…Who am I kidding? That won't happen.)
Claus, Fuel and Boney all walked out, wearing sentry uniforms. With Boney wearing the helmet, "You wanna bet they'll think you're a dog like dude Chimera?" Claus asked. "Ruff Ruff!(Don't lump me in with those creeps! I'm a good boy, without the Chimera stuff. Mom and Dad always tell me that.)" Boney said, defiantly.
Claus simply laughed a little, Kumatora looked on at them. "How'd it go?" She asked, before they gave her a uniform. "Ugh, do I HAVE to wear this?! It stinks like someone's Muttshrooms." She asked, "Sorry, Kumatora. Apparently, girls can't be a part of the Pigmasks." Fuel explained, "What? Why?" Kumatora asked.
"Something about how girls make them uncomfortable." Claus said. Kumatora just grumbled in annoyance, "Whatever. Let's just hurry and get to Thunder Tower." Kumatora said, walking away to change.
(Going back into Murasaki Forest)
Claus realized the costumes were weighing them down, so they decided to put them on later. Murasaki Forest was going to hopefully be easier to get through. "The Batangutans should be sleeping right now, so we won't have to worry about them." Fuel explained, trying to see all the potential threats.
"The Ostrelephants are a whole other problem to deal with, though. Especially if they start traveling in herds." Claus said, leading in front of his friends.
"Once we make it to the Highway, we can hijack a Pork Bean to get to the tower." Kumatora said, "Let's just say we're going to shoot it anywhere that seems fun to shoot it." Fuel said, thinking of some lies the Pigmasks'll buy. Claus laughed, "Yeah, they wouldn't buy it if we were actually "doing our job"." He said.
(Let's get into this!)
A few Pigtunias had begun attacking them. Fuel tried to staple them down, "Perfect! Fuel, staple them down!" Claus said, Fuel jumping into the air and throwing a few more staples. "Everyone, watch out!" Claus said, with his friends getting out of the way. "PK Thunder!" Claus shouted, launching lightning at them.
It managed to destroy the Chimera almost instantly, with the damage of the burnt ground where it was remained. "Sheesh, Claus, that was overkill!" Kumatora said, worried about what would've happened if he had missed or caused an indirect shot. Claus then realized the severity of what his attack could've done. "Sorry. I figured it would be easier." Claus apologized.
"Yeah, well, don't use it on something as measly as Pigtunias. Save it for the tanks or something." Kumatora said, "Yeah, you're right. Come on, we're almost to the Highway." Claus said, looking over at the nearby street, almost stark in the sunlight.
"Alright, let's see if we can find a Pork Bean." said Kumatora, walking along to the highway. They were almost there! Soon, Thunder Tower would be destroyed!
(Okay, that'll do it for this chapter. Let me know what you think. I actually like how I can write the Pigmasks into basically Avatar side characters, and how Claus is more the opposite of how Lucas is written. Anyways, stay strong and awesome!)

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
