Disclaimer I do not own Sly Cooper. This is a story for fun.

Later that night Clockwrek went to the police headquarters in France. He stealthily cut a hole in one of the top windows and made his way in. He made his way to the Interpol section of the station. He went into one of the offices and started going through the files of the most wanted criminals. Clockwrek was going to recruit two criminals, then thought better of it. The more master criminals he had aiding him the higher his changes of him destroying the Cooper Gang one and for all increased. After going through the files a couple of times he found four criminals that caught his eye. He took the files and left. He returned to the steel mill and began examining all the files. He chuckled to himself.
"Yes! These four will do nicely." He said.
Now he would have to go recruit them. He looked at the first file. The name on the file was Sir Raleigh. Clockwrek looked inside the file and saw a picture of a frog wearing a top hat and gloves. According to the file Raleigh had been born very rich, but soon got board with his life of wealth and privilege. That all changed when he decided to try a life of piracy and found it to his liking. Raleigh was also a genius for devising evil machinery. Raleigh last know location was the Isle O' Wrath in an artificial isle triangle called the Welsh Triangle. Clockwrek made sure his body was fueled up before setting off on his journey. After a few days of traveling Clockwrek finally reached his destination. The Welsh Triangle was felled with ship wrecks as he got closer he could see an island with step cliffs. He then saw a humongous ship in the center of the triangle as he got closer he saw a bunch of buildings and tress on the ship. Near the the center of the ship there was a large metal blimp tethered to the ground. Clockwrek deducted that that was where Raleigh was. It was time to meet the genius frog. Clockwrek made his way towards the ship.

In the blimp Raleigh was working on a large machine. He smiled fondly at his creation. The machine he was working was a great stroke of his evil genius. The machine in question created powerful storms. Raleigh used the machine to wreck ships and plunder them for their treasure. The only problems with the machine was that it require a lot of power and a lot of maintenance. Oh well ones of these days he would have the kinks worked out. He was just about finishing attaching some wires in when one of his walrus guards came rushing into the room.
"What is it?" Asked Raleigh with an annoyance.
"Begging your pardon boss. But one of the look outs just spotted an odd looking object flying this way!" Said the guard.
"Really." Said Raleigh with some interest as he finished attaching the wires.
He and the guard made their way to the front of the blimp. He grabbed a telescope and looked at the sky though a window. He saw a large flying object making it's way towards the ship. Raleigh was startled by the object at first. It looked like some kind of flying bird! Was it some kind of plane or some kind of spy or attack robot? Whatever it was Raleigh decided to consider it a threat. He hopped over to some nearby controls and turned the storm machine on. He always wanted to test his machine on something that could fly. In a matter of seconds a bunch of dark clouds appeared and storm formed. Wind, hail, and rain started batting the flying object. The object managed with great effort to make it's way to the ship and land several yards in front of the blimp. Raleigh pushed another button on his controls. A bunch of walrus guards came charging out from the ship and surrounded the object. Raleigh got his first good look at the object. It was indeed a large mechanical bird. Raleigh was both fascinated and terrified of it. The bird turned it's head and looked right at the blimp. Raleigh didn't know how, but he felt that the bird's eyes were looking straight at him. Then the machine spoke with a cold mechanical voice that sent a small shiver down Raleigh spine.
"Greetings I've come to speak with Raleigh about a great opportunity. My name is Clockwrek." Said the machine.
That got Raleigh's attention. He commanded his guards to back away from Clockwrek. So this was the mysterious master criminal Clockwrek. Raleigh was very knowledgable about the master criminal. He had heard about Clockwrek's exploits and his great rivalry with the Cooper Gang. Raleigh went to the door of the blimp and exited. He walked up until he was a few yards from Clockwrek.
"What brings you here to our little triangle?" He asked.
"I have come seeking an ally to aid me with my fight against the Cooper Gang." Said Clockwrek.
This intrigued Raleigh.
"May I ask my you have chosen me?" Asked Raleigh.
"Your one of Interpol's most wanted criminals. Your our an evil genius and a master of machinery. I do appreciate great intellects. I believe joining forces would be very beneficial to both of use." Said Clockwrek.
Ralegin scratched his chin.
"You do make some very good points. You have caught my interest. Lets join forces." Said Raleigh as he hopped forward and held up one of his hands.
"You've made a wise decision. I have a feeling were going to accomplish many things together." Said Clockwrek as he stretched one of his talons and carefully shook Raleigh's hand.
"What's your plan?" Asked Raleigh.
"We have three more criminals to recruit before we can do anything. Is your blimp good for travel?" Said Clockwrek.
"Indeed it is. Where are we going?" Said Raleigh.
"To Mesa City." Said Clockwrek as they headed towards the blimp.
