Chapter One: A New Friend

*I do not own Sly Cooper, Sanzaru and Sucker Punch does. Enjoy, this is my first fanfic!*

*WARNING: SPOILER ALERT WITH ALL SLY COOPER GAMES*

"Ta ta, Cooper!" Le Paradox flew off his Time machine with Sly's parachute. The skunk headed down, watching his hard work fall in pieces. In the sky Bentley, Murray and Carmelita saw a bright flash and the time machine vanished.

Sly saw all these bright lightning-like flashes around him as he is being sucked into, what he thought never ending time.

Suddenly, BAM! The time machine of Le Paradox crashed! Sly flew out and landed in the soft ground, his face down in the sand. His mid-sleeved blue shirt and grey fur was full of the yellow sand.

"Ah... my head..." Sly mumbled. He picked up his head and opened his eyes to nothing but a blanket of sand covering the ground and huge open space.

"Where am I?" Sly slowly stood up. The slight wind blew sand in Sly's face as his ears swayed with the breeze.
"Anyone there? Hello?"

The raccoon walked around for a while, finding no answers.

Sly thought to himself. "I have no idea where I am... Did Bentley, Murray and Carmelita make it out safely? Do they know where I am? Oh man... Carmelita... how is she feeling after seeing the time machine disappear? Is she thinking that was the very last time seeing me? I miss her already... I hope they made it out safely and know where I am."
Hours went by, all Sly found was the broken destroyed time machine.
"It's getting dark. I guess I'll stay inside the machine and figure out what to do tomorrow. I'm so exhausted."

The raccoon moved his feet towards the doorway of the machine, the lower half was buried underground.

*Next Day*

Sly woke up the following morning with the morning sun peeking in through the machine. Sly felt in need of food and decided to look around the machine, well what's left of it.

"Come on, Le Paradox had to have some food in here..."

He turns around and unexpectedly sees a young female raccoon lie cold on the ground. She didn't look dead, just unconscious. She wore a black t-shirt and capris. Her short and brown hair sat on her face.

Sly was confused. He never met this girl. He knew she didn't belong in this time period, like him.

"Yup she's unconscious. I'll just wait for her to wake up, hopefully she'll give answers... What is this... where am I?"

A couple hours passed and Sly felt more anxious by the minute. No food to be found, located in an unknown area, and another raccoon still not waking up. he sat there and analyzed the girl's face. "Where did she come from? Did she work for Le Paradox? I need answers now..."

Finally, he saw the girl's eyes peek open. The raccoon rubbed her chocolate-brown eyes as she weakly sat up. She felt a major headache, making her scratch her head with her left arm. Sly didn't know what to do... watching her wake up. Should he greet her? He doesn't even know her that well, she could be a threat to him.
"Ugh my head... what happened?"
Her face showed irritation by the way she rubbed her eyes. She closed her bloodshot eyes, and then opened them to a grown male raccoon, older than her.
The little raccoon jumped in terror, scared with seeing someone other than Le Paradox. Her voice was shaky, a little thick too. "Who are you?!"

"I was going to ask you the same." Sly said.
They were cautious towards each other, they didn't know if the other was good or bad.

"You're not going to hurt me, are you?"
Sly chuckled. "No. I found you unconscious on the ground... I wanted to know who you are and why you're here. We should get to know each other, since I have no idea where we are. Start with our names. What's your name?"
"Okay... Marta Kant. What is yours?"
"My name is Sly. Sly Cooper."

She felt her heart skip a beat.

Marta replied, "Yo-You-... You are Sly Cooper? Th-the one that The Fiendish Five, The Klaww gang and Le Paradox hated?!"
Sly was shocked that she knew this information.

"Uh... yeah... how do you know them? And me?"
"Well... I uh... well The Fiendish Five owned me at a certain point, and named me. I was lost after The Panda King was defeated, by you. The Klaww gang took me a couple years after a villager in China wanted to keep me, The Klaww Gang kept me for a short period of time, then some girl named Neyla gave me to the Paradox family. Now here I am in his machine and I think we crashed or something. Wait, where is he?"

"He's in Paris I hope. I have no idea where we are. Now, how do you know me?"

"Well I spent most of my life with the Fiendish Five. They took pages from your Thievius Raccoonus book. I was kind of curious so when they didn't notice I took some and loved all the stories! I secretly loved your work. I was told to hate the Coopers. Thing is, I didn't like that. I was so inspired by everything you and your ancestors did."

"Wow" said Sly. "Where are your parents?"
Marta looked down, disappointed.
"You're an orphan, aren't you?" Sly asked.

"When I was taken from the Klaww Gang, they told me that my parents didn't want me, so they gave me away. I never met them..."
Sly frowned. "I'm an orphan too. Thanks to the Fiendish Five, they killed my parents when I was eight. I... saw it with my own eyes..."

"Oh no! They never told me that!" She replied. "They told me they hated you and were against you, but I never knew why. They never told me about killing your parents. I'm sorry... and when I did look at the pages they stole, I taught myself some tricks!"

"So why did the Klaww gang give you to Le Paradox? And whoa wait... you taught yourself moves from The Thievius Raccoonus book?!"

"Well, I was told that all the Klaww gang members were being defeated... by you. Neyla sent me to the Paradox family. She told me I couldn't stay with her and had to be with Le Paradox to be protected from the 'Evil Coopers'. So there you go. And yeah! The tricks are so much fun! You want to see?"

"Well, you have been through a lot little one! So are you sure about the moves?"
Marta didn't say anything and ran out the time machine, Sly curiously followed. She was astonished with the sight on the place. The sun was shining hot yellow upon the sandy land. Marta stepped on the sparkling sand seeing no one else in sight.

"Whoa, what is this place?"
"I asked the exact same thing..."

Marta glanced over to the time machine and ran towards it. Her body double jumped in the air and grabbed a metal bar hanging from it. She climbed up to the top of the machine. Marta's feet walked on a very narrow piece of the broken wooden floor that was laying on the machine, ran as fast as she could on the long piece of wood, it broke and she fell down but effortlessly landed on a point. Sly opened his mouth with amazement.
He was absolutely speechless.

"So how was it? I know it wasn't much... but I didn't stay with The Fiendish Five for THAT long before the pages were taken back."
"Ho-ho-how can yo-you do th-th-at? Only a Cooper can do such moves!" Sly said. Marta giggled, taking it as a compliment.

"Wow... how old are you?" Sly asked.

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea. The Fiendish Five never told me my birth date, and never celebrated. They were nice to me, yet never let me see the outside world. I used your Thievius Raccoonus pages and other things to entertain me. Le Paradox was mean to me though... he was so obsessed making a time machine blimp. Thank goodness he's not here now. So out here, is this the real world? It looks... empty, really. Not really what I was expecting."

"No... maybe we should look around, maybe to know where we are."

"Okay."

"Wait, over there!" Sly points. "Is that a... pyramid? We're in... Egypt? Ancient Egypt..."

*I know it was a little short but hey! It gets better, trust me! Chapter Two is up next.*
