Along with Sergeant Claw, Tooth overheard the fox bully Witless Chris bragging to Scratchy about fighting six bears every morning and decided that Witless would be an ideal candidate to fight in their Arena of Doom. Claw carried Witless while Tooth led the way home. They were soon caught by Tails, who had discovered his ability to fly for the first time. Tails attacked the bats, who dropped Witless and flew away.
