A/N: OK, this is another story idea of mine. A one shot of Sly's first impressions of Raleigh, just before the fight with him in Sly one. I'll be doing one shots of all the fights in the series like this, so it won't always be Sly's point of view. Enjoy!
Pre-Sir. Raleigh The Frog Fight:
Finally, all Raleigh's treasure keys were in place. When I locked all 7 of those keys into the cannon, the key holes fell off into the ocean, and the top of the cannon came open, giving me an entrance to enter it. I hopped on top, and landed inside the cannon. The top slapped closed above myself, and the cannon twisted into position. I stood hunched down in the cannon waiting for it to fire. I could hear the fuse slowly going down. Every moment felt like a decade. Then finally, it fired, and I shot fiercely up at Raleigh's machine, and smashed through the window, and landed on a platform over a pool of water.
My head was down as I laded. I jumped up, and then looked up. Around me, I saw many other platforms on waters in a circle around a large platform in the water, in the center of the circle of platforms in the water…you're really getting tired of me saying platforms in the water, aren't you?...platform's in the water!
Anyways, the walls were littered with gears, and were drenched wet with dripping water. On a large platform out in the distance, a small green frog with a large top hat on perched.
I remember actually reading him from the thievieus raccoonus, because, although not a huge Cooper enemy, he faced my father, Conner Cooper, mother, Amanda Cooper, grandfather, Augustine Cooper, and grandmother, Luren Cooper, quite a bit. Growing up, he used to be a pampered frog on a cruise ship. However, eventually, he grew bored of his life of luxury and privilege. On a whim, he tried his hand at a bit of piracy, and found it to his liking. Raleigh, who quickly became addicted to crime, was brought into the Fiendish Five as cheep machinery, whose evil tinkering genus grew to new heists. Now we've tracked him down on the soggy costs of the isle o'wrath, a small island uncomfortably situated in the middle of the paralise Welsh Triangle.
He's the chief tech expert for the Fiendish Five, and as such, it was actually really hard to find him, as his current hideout was not written in the thievieus raccoonus, because he just recently landed here. He's held up in a storm machine that he built, which makes it rain constantly on the island. This crashes incoming ships, so they can't discover he's here. And, for those who made it through his storm, he's loaded the island with tones of guards at every corner, which we had to fight through. He also loaded the island with tones of security such as spotlights, and lasers, which we had to get through in order to get the treasure keys.
Raleigh was a pretty insane character, being willing to kill people without remorse, even his own men, as we've heard from his intercom talks with them while I was stealing treasure keys. Also, as I was about to fight him, I was pretty damn nervous. This is the first extremely tough enemy that I have yet to fight, not to mention he's one of the people who killed my mom and dad, of all people. It was weird. Sure I got through his fortress, but this was something totally different. But hey, it's not too bad I guess. I'll defeat him, I have to…to avenge my father…
