Sly: Return of the Thief Chapter 1: Questions
Sly groaned as he slammed the snooze button on his alarm clock, and got out of bed. It had been a month since he had cracked open the Cooper Vault and completed his legacy. However he never remembered a single thing of all the hiests he had done, when none other than Dr. M, wiped out his memory. Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox recovered him, and took him in as "Constable Cooper." Shortly after, a relationship bloomed, and they eventually got married. Nobody knew that if Sly were to hold his cane, it could snap him into reality. Bently, Murray, and the rest of the Cooper Gang finally tracked down Sly's whereabouts. In Paris, where Clockwerks reign was ended forever, and nearby in an apartment. Bently was just 30 metres away from Sly, who was on his balcony with Carmelita. "Hrm. If I just shoot the cane at his head, maybe it could knock some sense into him!" Bently was glad with that plan, and equipped a dart with Sly's Family Cane. Aimming, Aimmingg... FIRE!
The cane shot at Sly, and knocked him into a cabinet. Bently peeked over at the balcony and made sure Inspector Fox didn't see him.
"Augghh. My head. Huh? What's this?" Sly picked up the cane, and studied it. Carmelita was frozen. If she made a move to look for Bently, she would risk losing Sly to thieves again. Either way, Sly would be gone. Sly poked around it and hit a button, creating a flash to shoot into his eyes. Pictures from his past shot through the racoon's mind, and suddenly, he remembered everything. He gripped his cane and went to the bathroom, Carmelita still frozen in spot. Sly opened the cabnit in the closet inside the bathroom, and pulled out his old theif outfit and slipped it on.
Carmelita looked at him with fear as she noticed that he had remembered everything, even when lied to him about him being a cop, and taking him away from his legacy and his friends. "Why did you lie?" he asked. "You deserved a better future, Cooper." She replied. "Better? You ripped me away from my family, legacy, and friends. My life was already perfect. The life on the road, cruising through bollywood, and making an escape from the trouble when it gets rough." Carmelita had no idea what to do, the Sly she wanted to make was gone, and there was nothing to do about it.
Sly grabbed his gear from a box and walked to the balcony. "I'm going back to where I belong. As a thief, and If you can't deal with it to love me, then I won't be here. Goodbye, see ya." Sly paraglided off the balcony and ran down the street. Carmelita grabbed the walkie talkie and reported an Omega13-96 alert. a.k.a. Sly Cooper is getting away. Sly dashed around the cars and dodged bullets. Thus, his career began once again.
Sly Cooper was back, and nobody could stop him. A blue truck pulled beside him. Murray popped his head out. "Sly! Get in!" Sly swung into the back of the van and drove off with the gang.
