Man, I really need to stop getting sidetracked with new ideas for stories. I mean, now I really want to work on a Sly fanfiction, but rather focusing on Sly himself, I wanted to use a descendant of Sly. But rather than a direct descendant... I chose a descendant who lives many, many years after Sly and Co were alive, and thanks to plot, brought him to our time. Now, there will be spoilers for Sly 4, as the main bulk of it is set just after it, and both old and new faces alike will help (or hinder) the Cooper Gang as they try to find where and when Sly is, while at the same time stopping a threat from the future.
Anyway, I don't own the Sly series. If I did, this would be the real plot for the (present) segment of the (unreleased as of the writing of this fanfiction) Sly 5. All I own in this prologue is the character of Auro.
My name is Auro Cooper-Fox, and... Well, my story is kinda long. Although, you could say that it all began that one fateful night, many years in your future... Although I still remember it as if it was only a few days ago...
You see, I am the latest in a long line of 'master thieves' which can be traced back all the way to the stone age, but also related to a family which has it's roots in Interpol. Then again, this only came to be thanks to my ancestors, Sly Cooper and Carmelita Fox, who finally put their differences behind them and became a couple. And ever since, our family had members on both sides of the law, but with the same common goal: protecting the world from evildoers and thieves. Besides, the only people a Master Thief like Sly or myself steal from... Are other thieves, especially those who pose a threat to the safety of the world.
Anyway... Just like Sly, I have travelled through time, although I only did it once in my life so far, unlike my ancestor who had to do so to protect our fabled book, the Thievious Raccoonus, from being erased from the timestream. However, for me, it was of great importance, especially after learning that the people that not only eluded the cops of my old present, even with all the gadgets they had, but had made me the last surviving member of the Cooper-Fox family thanks to them murdering my parents... But they had done a public heist of a time machine, which they clearly intended to use to travel back in time in order to change the past. However, thanks to a last-minute ambush by yours truly, they didn't go as far back as they had planned. However, I kinda got dragged along for the ride, until the machine exploded, sending us to different places in the same time period... The same one where Sly and Carmelita came from. Just one problem... Sly was currently missing in time after he defeated Le Paradox. Not exactly the best time for a nine-ringed-tailed fox to come crashing down on Miss Fox's doorstep...
But that is getting a bit ahead of myself. I mean, if it wasn't for my adopted 'father', I might had never become a proper Master Thief... Or a nine-ring-tailed fox.
