Disclaimer: I don't own Sly Cooper or anything related to it, that honor, unfortunately belongs to Suckerpuch, I've been a fan the of Sly x Neyla ship for a while, if anyone does not like it, don't read it.
When Sly got to the RV point in the jungle, Neyla suddenly appeared in front of him, she turned and greeted him.
"Cooper, we meet again." Neyla said.
"Constable Neyla, thanks for not ratting me out back at the ball." Sly said.
"Oh I should be thanking you, the look on Carmelita's face was priceless." She said, humorously.
"She took it hard, huh?" Sly asked.
"No one likes to have their affections played with." Neyla said.
"I know I certainly don't." Sly said. "Look Neyla, after this whole India job is over, why don't you and I go out on a date? We could dance around Paris and have a little fun."
"I'll keep it in mind, but first the task at hand, I've learned of a secret entrance leading to half of the Clockwork heart, legally I can't enter the premises without a warrant, but a thief like you." Neyla started.
"Can go wherever he pleases." Sly finished.
"Don't fall behind while I lead you to the entrance, this place is thick with guards, and standing still can be lethal." Neyla told him.
"I hear that, beautiful." Sly said, flirting with her.
Neyla started leading Sly to the entrance, jumping on ledges, climbing on buildings, and taking care of a few guards along the way, they came to a pond with Lily pads and jumped from one to the other until they reached the other side, they then jumped to four more ledges until they stopped at the secret entrance.
"This is it, and remember, if push comes to shove, I never showed you this door, and Sly, we're on for that date in Paris." Neyla said.
"Can't wait, in the meantime, stay safe, my beautiful Tigress." Sly said.
"I always do, handsome." Neyla said, dropping a smoke bomb and disappearing.
"Wow, she is really something, and very beautiful too, especially while we were dancing, can't wait to see her again." Slythought as he opened the door and went inside.
After Sly got inside,he saw the first half of the Clockwork heart took out his binocucom and contacted Bentley.
"There it is, just like Neyla said." Sly told Bentley.
"In order to lower the Clockwork heart, you'll need access to that control box, but it's locked down tight." Bentley said.
"I'm sure the guards won't mind if I borrow their keys." Sly said.
He then snuck up quietly behind one of the two guards and pickpocketed the first key, he uppercut the guard and smashed him to the floor, knocking him out, the other guard heard it and went to investigate, Sly spire jumped to the other ledge as the guard got where Sly was, Sly then got close behind him and pickpocketed the second key, he then uppercut the guard and smashed him to the floor, knocking him out like the first one.
Sly then went to the control box and used the keys to unlock it, when he did, the heart dropped down and Sly went to get it.
"That's it, half the Clockwork heart, the spice won't be growing around here anytime soon." Bentley said.
Sly made his way back to the door and went back outside, when he did, he headed back to the safehouse, on the way, Neyla suddenly appeared again.
"Neyla, what's up?" Sly asked.
"I just came to see if you were ok, Sly." She said.
"I'm ok, beautiful , I got half of the Clockwork heart, it was a walk in the park for me, thanks for showing me the entrance." Sly said.
Neyla walked up to Sly and put a hand on his cheek, "I want to help you take down Rajan, Sly, he's very dangerous, and I don't want to see you get hurt or worse."
"If he's as dangerous as you say is, then the gang and I will need some extra help, Sly said "We've got everything that we need to do the job, we just need a couple of hours to get ready."
"Alright, I'll be there when you draw him out." Neyla said.
"See you then, my beautiful Tigress." Sly said, he then took Neyla's hand and kissed it, Neyla then backed up and threw down another smoke bomb, disappearing again.
"If she's that concerned for me, I think she must really like me. Sly thought as he entered the safehouse.
When he got inside, he gave the Clockwork heart to Bentley, "Nice job, Sly, now we just need to get the other half from Rajan, we have everything that we need for the operation, all we need to do is plan the job and then we'll be set." Bentley told Sly.
"Ok, pal, by the way, Neyla wants to help with taking down Rajan, and with the other half of the Clockwork heart with him, I think we'll need the extra help." Sly said.
"I don't really trust her, Sly, but if you do, then I'll take the risk." Bentley said.
"Thanks pal." Sly said.
After a full night of sleep the gang got ready for the operation,they got their equipmentready and went to their assigned RV points , Murray got to the elephant's mouth and took care of all the guards that were there, he then went to pry it open.
"Oh no, Rajan is raining bombs on Murrey, he'll never be able to get that mouth open unless I destroy all of them." Bentley said, as he started destroying the bombs with the torrent, once they were all destroyed, Murrey got the mouth open, Sly approached with the Cherry bomb 500, entered the mouth and walked the barrel to the door, he jumped out and ran with Murrey from the explosion.
The bomb detonated, blowing up the door and releasing the water, the water then flooded the temple and Rajan came outside , and jumped up to the roof.
"Black clouds and Thunderbolts, my Spice Temple, ruined, I will no longer hide while you villains destroy my hard won empire, this place is mine, here I am king, come, face me, Cooper, with Clockwork's black heart, I will show you true power, come and face the mighty Rajan, Lord of these hills!" Rajan yelled out.
"Boy, when we tick someone off, we really do the job." Sly said to Murray.
Suddenly Neyla appeared again, "Yes, you do seem to have a talent for it, handsome." She said.
"Nice to see you, beautiful." Sly said.
"You too , I see you've drawn out Rajan." Neyla said, looking at Rajan then back at Sly.
"All I'm after is the Clockwork part, help me take him down and the bust is all yours." Sly said.
"Just try to keep up, handsome." Neyla said, she then jumped to the poles that were holding the bridge, with Sly close behind, they jumped from pole to pole until they got to where Rajan was.
"Neyla, now." Sly said.
"Right. She said, she grabbed her whip and whipped Rajan's staff out of his hand she grabbed it and used it to shock him, knocking him unconscious, she then broke the other half of the Clockwork heart off the staff and handed it to Sly.
"Thanks, Neyla, I couldn't have done it without you." Sly said, putting the heart in his knapsack.
"No problem, Sly, you better get out of here before Carmelita gets here, hate for you to be arrested before we have that date in Paris." Neyla said, walking over to him.
"Can't wait, my beautiful Tigress." Sly said, causing her to blush, he started to leave when Neyla grabbed him and kissed him on the lips, Sly was surprised at first but then kissed her back, they separated and Neyla put her forehead against his.
"See you later, my handsome Raccoon." Neyla said, she the got out a pen a small paper, and wrote something on it, "Here's my number, call me when you get back to Paris and we can have that date." She then handed the paper to Sly and he put it in his knapsack.
"Will do, beautiful." Sly said as he and Murray made their escape, they met up with Bentley and got to the van and headed back to Paris.
Carmelita finally showed up as Neyla handcuffed Rajan, "Where's Cooper , Neyla,?" She asked, I know you couldn't have taken this Spice dealer down without help."
"He helped me take Rajan down, I gave him a little head start, but don't worry, he'll show up again soon enough." Neyla said, leaving out the kiss.
"Ugh, you let Ringtail go, I know you did!" Carmelita said, angry that she missed Sly again.
"He earned it, besides, he isn't all bad." Neyla said.
"Whatever, let's just get this Spice dealer locked up, we'll talk about this later." Carmelita said, as they took Rajan away.
"I can't wait to see you soon, Sly, I'm going to give you the time of your life when we have that date." Neyla thought.
While Sly and the gang were driving back to Paris, Sly was thinking about Neyla and the kiss, "I can't believe she kissed me, now I know she likes me.
While Sly did still have some feelings for Carmelita, he was sure that he had feelings for Neyla now as well, he would have to wait and see what would happen on the date before he made any decisions about which one he wanted.
