A Series of Short Sly Cooper Stories Vol. 1

by Wolf-Coon

The Thievious Raccoonus: How it all started

A small Raccoon walks down a flight of stairs into the living room of a house.

"Sly, Come here." States an unknown male to whom we now know to be our main

hero, Sylvester Nathaniel Cooper, AKA Sly Cooper. "Yes, dad?" He replies.

His father beckons for him to walk over to him. Sly walks over to a red chair

and sits on his Father's Lap. His father picks up a dusty old book off of the floor

beside the chair. He blows the dust off, revaling the title. The Thievious Raccoonus.

"Whoah! Is this the book?" Asks Sly. His father nods to confirm his son's question.

Sly gently picks up the book and reaches down to open it. Suddenly, the two hear

a loud BANG! BANG! BANG! at the door. Sly jump out of his father's lap, and

Connor(His father, of course ) Grabs the Thievious Raccoonus and his trusty cane,

and orders Sly to run. Sly crawls quickly into the closet, breathing heavily and

frightened, unaware of what is going on. Time seems to stand still, and the house is almost silent..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Sly hears a scream of agony, accompanied by metal scraping the wall, and several craking noises.

He hears the door slam, and everything goes silent for what seems like hours.

Slowly, Sly opens the closet door, and gasps. His father is laying in a pool of blood, mangled, with his leg broken

and fur tangled and matted. Sly whimpers and tears well up in his eyes.

Suddenly he hears quiet, raspy breathing.

"Dad?" He says. "Sly..." Connor replies, groaning in agony and pain.

Sly curls up next to his father, crying. He notices the binding of the Thievious Raccoonus

nest to his father. Picking it up and grasping it tightly, he rushes for the phone, calling the only number he could trust to help: 911.

"Hello?" Answers the Reciever. "PLEASE COME, MY DAD IS DYING PLEASE HELP!!", Sly screamed into the phone, crying and frustrated, and panicking.

He drops the phone and runs to his father, who is gasping for air. "Dad..." Sly says.

"Don't go! You can't! I won't let you!", Says Sly, turning his sad face into a partially angry face, frustrated at his father and himself.

"Clockwerk.." Says Connor. Sly sits by his father, crying and still grasping the Thevious Raccoonus' binding, waiting on the police, paramedics, ANYONE to come.

...

After seemingly forever, they arrive. But it's too late.

They find poor Sly huddled up next to his Father, crying and gripping the Thevious Raccoonus' binding and his Father's cane tightly in his hands, his fur matted with Blood.

They take Sly out of his home, and clean up the mess...

10 Years Later

A slim silhouette can be seen atop the roof of a Building. A voice rings in through a device.

"SLY! Sly, can you read me?"
"Loud and.. Very loud."
