Disclaimer I do not own Sly Cooper. This is a story for fun.
Conner Cooper felt a huge migraine and a swore body as he woke up. He found himself in some kind of warehouse his hands were chained to a chair. He saw his signature cane lying on a table nearby. There was only one light on above Conner's head the rest of the warehouse was covered in darkness. He noticed two enormous yellow glowing were eyes looking at him from the shadows.
"Good your awake. I wouldn't want you to sleep through your demise." Said a cold mechanical voice from the shadows, which Conner immediately recognized.
A large figure stepped into the light. The figure was a large gray mechanical owl named Clockwerk.
"Hello there Clockwerk still psychotic and ugly as ever." Said Conner as he pulled a small needle hidden in his glove and started picking the lock on the chains behind his back.
"Make all the jokes you Connor. For tonight I will finally put an end to the Cooper Clan!" Declared Clockwerk.
Connor decided to buy himself a little time.
"Hey can you refresh my memory in how you managed to catch me?" He asked.
"It was simple. I knew you and your gang were going to rob the national art museum. I know that the owner of the museum had connections with the mob. All I had to do was simply wait until you robbed the place. When you and your gang were exiting from the roof. I flew in for a surprise attack. You managed to dodge my first swoop, but I turned around and blasted at with one of my energy cannons. You avoid the blast, but the explosion from it threw to the next building and smashed you into a chimney. I then swooped down and picked you up and dragged you here." Gloated Clockwerk.
"I see. Well I remember being being hit real hard. However my gang is going to find me and were going to defeat you." Said Conner.
"I do hope they come. Then I can destroy all three of you!" Said Clockwerk as he nodded to something in the shadows.
Suddenly all the lights came on in the warehouse. Connor gasped in shock. There were dozens of mechanical birds inside the warehouse.
"Behold my army! With them by my side your dear comrades don't stand a chance!" Gloated Clockwerk.
"Don't underestimate my gang! It'll take more then a few of your crazy robots to stop them." Said Conner.
Clockwerk turned to Conner to say something, but was suddenly cut off by the loud noise of an engine. A large blue van came smashing through one of the walls! The van ran over several robots. The rest of the robots scattered in a panic. Clockwerk was distracted by the sudden appearance of the van, giving Conner enough time to pick the lock and free himself. He quickly got up and grabbed his cane.
"Hey birdbrain!" He shouted at Clockwrek as he swung his cane at Clockwrek.
Clockwrek turned just in time to receive a blow to the head by the cane. He staggered back nearly loosing his balance.
"You'll pay for you miserable raccoon!" Shouted Clockwrek as he charged forward with his talons.
Conner dodged the blow.
"We'll come on then the nights still young!" Shouted Conner.
Meanwhile the van had stopped and the drivers door opened. Out came a large walrus named Jim McSweeny. A couple of the robots charged at him. He grabbed one in each hand and slammed them together. He then reached into the van and pulled out a sledgehammer.
"Let's clip these bird's wings!" He shouted as he swung his hammer taking out a couple more robots.
A few of the robots took flight and started swooping down at Jim with their claws. Jim swung his hammer and took out some of them, but more kept coming. Jim turned to the van.
"Hey Doc I'm being bombarded by crazy robots! That new weapon of yours ready yet?" He said.
"Just about ready." Replied a voice from inside the van.
There was a clicking sound and the roof of the van split apart. A turret rose from the van. Riding on it was a mandrill named Dr. M. He started gunning down the robots in the air. Several robots fell to the ground in pieces.
"Like shooting fish in a barrel." Said Dr. M.
"Way to go Doc!" Shouted Jim as he smashed some more robots with his hammer.
Conner and Clockwrek continued their battle. The fighting was to close for Clockwrek to use his guns so he had to resort to using his talons. He swiped at Conner. The raccoon jumped back and hooked his cane around the chair he had been tied to earlier and flung it a Clockwrek. The chair hit Clockwrek's head shattering to splinters and causing the villain to stagger back a little. Clockwrek let out an angry screech and charged forward with his talons again. Conner jumped out of the way and onto the table. He knocked down the table and made it face Clockwrek. The villain charged forward with his talons aimed at Conner. At the last second Conner dodged out of the way and Clockwrek's talons ended impaled in the table. Clockwrek tried to pull them out, but they were stuck. Conner came rushing forward and hit Clockwrek several times with his cane. Clockwrek managed to knock his attacker back with one of his wings. Clockwrek went back to trying to free himself.
"Need a little help." Said a voice.
Clockwrek turned to see Jim swinging his sledgehammer and nailed Clockwrek in his chest freeing him from the table and sending him flying. Clockwrek hit the ground several yards away. He staggered to his feet and pulled out his guns.
"I will destroy you all!" He angrily bellowed.
"I don't think so!" Said Dr. M as he fired the turret at the warehouse celling above Clockwrek's head.
Clockwrek looked up in time to see massive chunks of the celling falling towards him. He managed to avoid a direct blow, but one of his wing got hit and became dislocated from his body. He realized that he could not win in his current condition. He made a run for a nearby exit dodging falling derby and shots from the turret.
"Next time Cooper I will destroy you! This is far from over!" Shouted Clockwrek as he escaped the warehouse.
Conner turned to his gang.
"We'll done gentlemen! We beat Clockwrek again." Said Conner.
"We almost had him." Complained Dr. M.
"Don't worry Doc he'll show up sooner or latter and then will get him." Said Jim patting Dr. M on the shoulder.
"Your right." Said Dr. M.
"Let's go back to the safe house." Said Conner.
The Cooper Gang loaded up in their car and left the warehouse.
Elsewhere in an old steel mill Clockwrek was repairing his body. His body could be fixed, but his pride was deeply injured. He had been so close in killing Conner. Then the rest of the Cooper Gang arrived and ruined everything! His robots had been easily defeated. This wouldn't be the first time he had come so close to killing a Cooper only to have victory yanked from his talons by the other members of the Cooper Gang. If only he had some kind of allies to help him deal with the Cooper Gang. An idea went off in his head. He would form his own gang of criminals to combat the Cooper Gang. Finally victory would be his! He rubbed his talons together with evil glee.
To be continued.
