I got this idea from watching a superhero movie and an anime show based on it So, I decided to try this out. Similar to Master of Hunting, Sly's origin will be more darker, but it'll be when he's born instead of being 8 years old. By the time he is 8, he'll be living in a different universe. I'll give you a hint on the origin and the universe: Half human, Half vampire. Anyway, let's get started.
At midnight in Paris, a female Raccoon named Vanessa Cooper was halfway home after getting some things for her unborn baby boy. She had been pregnant for eight months and it would only be a few more days before he was born. Her husband: Connor Cooper was very excited that he was going to be a father and have a child that would continue the Cooper legacy when the time came.
The unborn Raccoon baby kicked. "Oh, easy, my sweet boy, Mommy has to be careful when she's walking with you." Vanessa said rubbing her stomach.
Suddenly, something bumped into her. "Oh, excuse me, whoever you are, I didn't mean to… bump into you?" Vanessa said before she noticed that the person in front of her was not someone she'd ever seen before. (Google Deacon Frost from the Blade anime) "My, what is a woman like you doing out here? You'll catch your death." The person said in an English accent. He was looking at her with hungry eyes. But unfortunately for her, it was a hunger like none she'd ever known.
"W-who are you? Whoever you are, stay back!" Vanessa said pulling out a silver knife from her purse and pointing it at him. She had a feeling that whoever this was, he wasn't good news. The person attempted to put his hand on her throat but Vanessa cut with hand with a swing of her knife, making the person's hand burn for some reason.
"Feisty, aren't we? I hate feisty. The person said as his eyes glowed yellow. He grabbed her arms with amazing speed and showing 4 fangs in his mouth, indicated that he must be a vampire, bit into her neck. Vanessa felt her blood being drained from her, but unknown to her or the Vampire, vampire genes were going into her veins, but most of them were going into her unborn baby boy.
The vampire dropped Vanessa and walked off. After he was gone, Vanessa got out her phone and called her husband. She told him of her predicament and Connor rushed to help her. When he found her, she was struggling to survive for their baby. Connor quickly and carefully rushed her to the hospital and she was admitted right away. By the time she was in the room, her water broke and the doctors were forced to do a C-section to save the baby. Unfortunately, Vanessa had died from childbirth but not before seeing her baby and trying to reach out for him.
The doctors told Connor that Vanessa had died but the baby was okay. Connor was deeply devastated by his wife's death but was relieved that his newborn baby boy was alive. Connor took him home the next day and Vanessa's funeral and been weeks later. While at the coroner's office, Connor noticed that Vanessa had 4 bite marks on her neck that he'd seen before. Years ago, he'd encountered a Vampire named Deacon Frost. He had fought him with an old ally from another dimension named Noah Van Helsing.
They had met years ago when Connor discovered that there was a portal to the other universe and had fought many vampires together. Connor had told his wife about the portal as well, not wanting to keep it a secret from her. When Vanessa told Connor that she was pregnant, Connor left the parallel Earth to be with his wife and child but said that if anything happened to him, Noah would take the child in and raise him.
Connor had named the baby Sly and was trying to raise him the way that Vanessa would have wanted but when Connor took him home, he noticed that Sly was not normal. He had the fangs and eyes of a vampire but he wasn't like any normal raccoon or vampire and it was when Connor discovered it that confirmed it. When Sly was 4 years old, he and his father ran through the neighborhood and had saw an innocent women getting mugged. Connor had rushed to save her, but in doing so, almost got a knife through the neck, Sly jumped the mugger and got stabbed in the chest with the knife. But surprisingly, Sly didn't die despite feeling the pain. When Connor took the blade out of Sly, his wound almost instantly healed. After the incident, Connor performed tests on Sly and discovered that he could withstand silver, garlic, and even sunlight. He could eat normal food but the normal liquids were harmful to Sly. Connor had to go out every few weeks to get Sly fresh blood from a butcher shop. Because of Sly's need for blood, Connor had no choice but to have Sly homeschooled but he was allowed to play with other children at the park on the afternoons and weekends, which made Sly happy. Sly was excelling at all his studies, including hemotogedgy. Sly would sometimes ask about his mother and Connor would tell him that she was the sweetest, and strongest woman in the world while describing her and that she would have loved Sly if she were alive.
They lived like they had for 4 years until Sly's life would change forever on one fateful night, when four people came to their house unannounced. Connor quickly brought Sly to where the portal was located in another building that was far enough away from the house but were quickly followed by the 4 four Intruders. Connor got Sly to the portal and had activated it but they suddenly heard screams of agony, flesh and something mechanical being ripped apart. Connor left Sly in the portal room and went to investigate. Sly watched through the door but he he saw next would change him forever: Sly saw his mother standing in front of his father, exactly how she'd been described.
"This can't be possible, you died that night." Connor said not believing that she could be alive.
"No, I came back, that very same night, Connor. Tell me, where's my baby boy?" Vanessa asked. But Connor suddenly realized that she was the one who ripped the Intruders known as the Fiendish Four apart, including the leader Clockwerk.
"You did this, you killed them." Connor said stepping back from her.
"They were after my baby boy, Connor, I was not going to let them lay a hand on our little baby. I'm about to finish the mechanical owl off." Vanessa said stepping on a chip the she'd ripped out of the owl, making the parts age and wither away. "Now, where is the little guy? I'm sure that he's eager to see his mommy." Vanessa said walking up to the entrance slowly in a way that Connor knew was the walk of a vampire.
"No, stay back, you're not Vanessa." Connor said, blocking her way.
"Well, Connor." Vanessa said as her eyes glowed and fangs showed. "If you won't let me see my baby then you won't either." Vanessa grabbed his arms with inhuman speed and sank her fangs into his neck, draining his life-force.
Sly couldn't believe what he was seeing. His mother, who he had been dreaming of for every night of his life was killing his father. After a few minutes of watching, Vanessa dropped him. "Noooo!" Sly cried as he ran to his father and knelt down.
"My dear baby boy, come here and let your mother hold you." Vanessa said walking to Sly and reaching for him.
"No, stay back. You hurt my daddy! I know what you are, you're a vampire!" Sly said.
"Yes, but I'm also your mother. You wouldn't hurt your mother, would you? Come here, my sweet little boy." Vanessa said as she wrapped her arms around the raccoon boy in a hug.
"I must release you." Sly whispered as he ran a secret knife, which was the same knife she used on that terrible night, through her heart, making Vanessa scream and become engulfed in fire.
After a few seconds, Vanessa looked at Sly, then at Connor with regret. It seemed like her humanity had returned. "My baby boy, Connor, What have I done?" She took one last look at her little boy as tears fell from her eyes. "Oh, my baby, I'm so, so, sorry." She said as she exploded.
Connor, with the last remaining strength, looked at Sly. "Sly, come here."
Sly went to his father's side. "Daddy, I'll get help."
"No, Sly, it's too late. It won't be long before I'm turned. Please do something for me." Connor said through labored breaths.
"Anything, daddy." Sly said as tears fell from his eyes.
"Give me the knife." Connor said.
"Y-y-yes, sir." Sly said giving him the knife.
"Now, go inside and don't come back out until 14 minutes." Connor said.
"Daddy." Sly cried hugging him.
"I love you, Sly, and I always will. Now, go." Connor said. Sly went inside and covered his ears so he wouldn't hear what was going to happen. After the 14 minutes were up, Sly went back outside and saw nothing but ash were his father used to be, but he saw the knife. He took it in his hand and, after a few minutes, went inside the building and saw the portal. His father had told him of a self-destruct device that he'd made to prevent the portal from falling into the wrong hands. Sly activated it and the countdown was 20 seconds. Sly quickly looked back outside and entered the portal.
Unfortunately, the destination wasn't the one that Connor was counting on. The destination was intended to be at Noah's home but, In his hurry to get his son safe, the destination was in the streets of London. Fortunately, Sly's father had told him about humans and how their lives were just like on his Earth. Sly wandered around London for 10 years, doing what he could to survive. Fortunately, his father had taught him a sense of Justice and when there was someone in trouble, he saved them all but killed the people who caused the hurt and suffering of innocent people while drinking their blood to fill his craving. Fortunately, his other side overcame the need to drink as much blood as a normal vampire.
He had been doing this for 10 years until one fateful night when a lady was in trouble. Sly ran with his increased speed to the outskirts where vampire were trying to feed on an innocent lady. When they tried to attack, Sly rushed in and fought them off with a wooden spear he'd made to defend himself. The vampires broke it and pinned him down.
"Interesting, a humanoid raccoon but has the eyes of our kind." The vampire on the horse said intrigued at seeing a huminoid raccoon.
"I may have everything that your kind has, but I'm nothing like any of you." Sly growled.
"Can it be? A daywalker?" The vampire asked before a jeep approached.
"Sorry to interrupt your hunt." A man said.
"And who are you?" The Vampire asked.
"A hunter as well, only my queries happen to be vampires." The man said.
"Van Helsing?"
"I wanted your last meal to be special, so tonight, you dine on the finest silver." Van Helsing said before pulling out a gun with silver bullets and shot the vampire on the horse first, than most of the other vampires, making the rest flee.
Sly went to help the lady but when she saw his eyes and fangs, she ran away in fear. Van Helsing looked at Sly as he turned around and passed out from exhaustion. "Could he be Connor Cooper's son?" Van Helsing thought as he put Sly into the Jeep and drove to his mansion.
The next day
"Why did you help me?" Sly asked sitting at a kitchen table across from Van Helsing.
"Because, it's what your father wanted." Helsing answered.
"You knew my father?" Sly asked.
"Yes, my boy. He and I were allies and great friends. But when your mother told him that he was expecting, he left to raise you, and it looks like he was successful." Helsing said.
"My father has been dead for 10 years. He died trying to protect me from a vampire. He was bitten but killed himself with this silver knife before he could turn, but before he died, he activated the portal that led to this parallel Earth. Before I entered the portal, I destroyed it." Sly told him.
"Who was this vampire, my boy?" Helsing asked.
"M-m-my mother. After she had bitten my father, she tried to take me, but I knew that it wasn't her, so I killed her." Sly answered as tears fell from his eyes.
"No, my boy, you released her from a terrible curse, and you helped to save your father from a fate worse than death." Helsing said.
"I keep telling myself that every single day, and I won't rest until the vampire who ruined my life is sent to hell!" Sly said.
"Why did you help that lady, Sly?" Noah asked.
"Because it was the right thing to do. My father taught me a sense of Justice. And while I have killed people, they weren't good people. The ones I've kill enjoyed the suffering of the innocent and I couldn't let them live so they could harm anyone again and again." Sly said, thinking about the evil monsters that he killed to prevent more suffering.
"What if I could help you?" Noah asked.
"What do you mean, old man." Sly asked.
"I can help you hunt down and kill the vampire who ruined your life, but I'm getting old and I won't be around forever. But you are immortal and have all the strength of the vampires and none of their weaknesses, and while you may have the bloodthirst, your other side overcomes the need to drink as much blood as a normal vampire. There are thousands of vampires out there, praying on the innocent, and I won't be around to stop them forever." Helsing said.
Sly thought about what he said and knew that he was right. As long as vampires were around, thousands of innocent humans would die or worse: be turned into creatures of darkness, just like his mother did. Sly knew that he couldn't let anyone else suffer the same fate that his parents or himself did and made his decision.
"I'm in." Sly said.
Noah smiled. "Then it's settled. Welcome to your new life, Sly Cooper."
"Don't call me that, old man. Sly Cooper died with his parents."
"Then what must I call you?" Helsing asked.
The hybrid got out the knife that his mother had the night she was bitten, the knife that he killed her with, and the knife that his father used to save himself from becoming a creature of darkness. Looking at it, the hybrid looked at Helsing.
"My name… is Blade." The hybrid now named Blade said.
