"The Master Thieves"

A "Sly Cooper" Story
Part 1 - "Slytunkhamen II"

by Dr. Thinker

The latest pharaoh of Egypt was pleased as punch on the outcome of the guest of his party for quick finish of his pyramid. The party had brought up a lot of people from the poor member to the nobles. One of the nobles – was scoured faced brown owl called Werk. Werk was consider a crooked noble – but Werk hide his evil works so well that not even the head of the Guard, Feroxi, had found proof.

Another nobleman, Slytunkhamen II, was present as well – Now, Slytunkhamen II was a thief – but he usually steal from corrupted officials and got under Feroxi's skin – so much that the pharaoh believed that Slytunkhamen II was gifted his invisibility by one of the Gods – Iris most likely. It's rare to see them both at peace. When they usually cross paths, a fight is usually a answer – until Feroxi gets so tired out that Slytunkhamen could make her think his appearance was a dream thanks to his invisibility trick – until one of the naughty nobles complain about it.

The pharaoh look as Slytunkhamen and Feroxi were approaching each other – Werk look like Seth just as about to curved up Osiris as the others back off – trying to dodge Feroxi said.

Feroxi said, "Hi, Sly."

Slytunkhamen II said with smirk, "Hi, Fox."

Feroxi said, "Why are you to stealing any thing?"

Slytunkhamen II said, "This is pharaoh has been decent as Iris and Osiris."

Feroxi said, "What about the last one?"

Slytunkhamen II replied, "Rotten as Werk himself."

The pharaoh pan his face to Werk who covered his face with both of his wings.

Feroxi said, "So, you only steal from corrupted citizens?"

Slytunkhamen II nodded as he kissed Feroxi on her left hand. Slytunkhamen II stated, "That's right."

Feroxi asked, "Why?"

Slytunkhamen said, "Osiris told me – that some in the future, Werk will exchange his feathers and blood for metal and wires."

Feroxi asked, "When we he do this?"

Slytunkhamen II said, "I don't know – Osiris didn't say – but I would hope for after my life time but I did make sure that Werk does what Osiris said Werk – my life work won't be in vein."

Feroxi asked, "Your will?"

Slytunkhamen II replied, "Sort of – I started a book with the help of Iris. With her help, his book will help my son or daughter to become a sneaky at me – with or without my invisibility."

Feroxi said joking, "I bet you going to called it the "Theivius Racoonus'', Sly."

Slytunkhamen II replied, "I haven't got a name for it yet – but that sounds logic enough, Fox."

Feroxi blushed red that matched her orange fox hairs.

Werk winged his way in said, "Stupid-tongue-ham-en, I'm going to craw him right now for always stealing my stuff."

Werk jumped but Slytunkhamen had disappeared and dodged him, making Werk slide right into the pharaoh lab.

The pharaoh laughed as she called her royal guards said, "I can finally do away with you, Werk. You had been annoying the public more then Slytunkhamen II had. I setting your death date to tomorrow as soon as the sun in the middle of the sky."

Werk groan as the guards hanged huge weighted chains on his wings said, "Why not give Slytunkhamen the same fate."

The pharaoh said, "I can't chain anyone who is invisible to the guards' eyesight."

Werk groaned as the guards marched him away from the palace.

=S=

The pharaoh saw that the guards were mad as Horus after Seth killed Osiris. Feroxi was mad as well. The hold looked like some kind of monster with wings had smashed the prison and brought half of them prison done on the rest."

The pharaoh groan as Slytunkhamen II dropped in.

Slytunkhamen II asked, "What happen here, daughter of the goddess of Iris and Osiris?"

The pharaoh stated, "Someone kind of monster break into the prison."

Slytunkhamen II remarked, "If I was betting raccoon, I think a prisoner broke out of jail."

Feroxi said taking out her daggers said, "I can't miss your heat at this range even if you do that disappearing trick."

Slytunkhamen II stated, "I know – but I think it's Werk. He must had gotten Seth to exchange his body for metal."

Feroxi asked, "What makes you so sure?"

Slytunkhamen stated, "This morning my wife, Serdarappa was awaken with a large breeze and a evil owl-like chuckle. I only know one owl that can have a evil chuckle – Werk."

The pharaoh stated, "He is being logical about this."

One of the guards that was usually in the pharaoh's prison was brought by other guards. He was missing his arms and legs.

Feroxi asked, "What happen here?"

The limbless guard replied, "Werk was making a pray to Seth for a new body. He was given a robotic body. He cut me of my limbs – and left me alive so he can tell me to tell you that he will killed Slytunkhamen."

Slytunkhamen II laughed before he said one word: "Impossible."

=S=

It was a few months later, and Slytunkhamen II was disappearing from near by location of his latest noble thief. Unknown to him, a large metal bird flew by – Werk or as it will become to know in future: Clockwerk.

Clockwerk thought the following to himself, "Nice work, Slytunkhamen II. But I will show you up in the end. You life will be ended by talons. Count on it."

=THE END=

Next up is Sly's Roman ancestor – a original member of the Cooper Family. There are two kinds of Cooper Clam members: Ones who find the Cooper Vault and those who don't.
