I decided to dabble in a fan fiction of my FAVORITE video game series ever. I have to tell you, I'm super excited about this idea I had, and hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I do. Please, feel free to R&R or PM me with any questions. Thanks, and enjoy, The Land of Isis.
DISCLAIMER: I am not Sucker Punch, or Sanzaru, or Sony, therefore I do not own Sly Cooper or any other characters from this amazing franchise.
Sunrise.
It was the first thing I noticed when I started to come to, the sunrise on the horizon beating down on my fur as I slowly woke up. The heat of the sun above and the sand beneath me only added to my confusion. Where was I?
The events of the past few moments suddenly flooded into my brain as I began to remember what had happened to me. I had beaten that stinky cretin Le Paradox and restored the Cooper name to its former glory. Everything was finally looking up. Then, in a moment of grace, I decided to let Le Paradox live in jail rather than die on his time traveling blimp; perhaps it was a moment of weakness, because seconds later he ripped my paraglider of my back and left me to die instead!
I glanced down to Paris below and realized that this was the moment I was going to die. I sat down on the burning structure of the blimp, head in my hands, as I thought of the people I cared about. No doubt Bentley, Murray and Carmelita were somewhere in the city below, staring up at what was happening. I hated the fact that I had let them down. Bentley offered me the chance to escape with them, but my pride got in my way once again as I was determined to defeat Le Paradox. Of course, the skunk was defeated, but at what cost? Was it worth my own life?
In a brief moment of clarity, my mind focused on Carmelita. No doubt our mixed up relationship needed some work, but now we would never get the chance. Even when I thought my life as a thief was over, and we could finally be together, my lies got in the way. It's funny how I always thought of her in these near death experiences. Guess this one is really the end though. There was no way this blimp was going to survive a crash, and a jump without a paraglider was far too risky.
With one final look at Paris below, I said my silent goodbyes. I closed my eyes and prepared for the inevitable crash. But instead of crashing, the blimp was gaining altitude, as well as speed. I opened my eyes to find that I was surrounded by a bright blue swirling energy. I wasn't dying; I was hurtling through the time vortex! But who knows where or when I would end up?
As I came out of my memories, I opened my eyes slowly to see a sunrise burning in the sky, outlined by my cane in the sand. I grabbed my cane cautiously and decided to look around to get some sort of clue as to where I was. Standing amidst the debris of the fallen blimp, I glanced around the desert I had landed in. There, right before me, sat a handful of pyramids and a large sphinx. So, ancient Egypt was my destination? This should be interesting.
This chapter is short, but it's setting up for what lies ahead. More to come soon! Thanks, and God bless =]]
