After a long journey though the time vortex Ghost finally made it to Feudal Japan 1603AD. She checked the time machine to see if Sly made it yet. "Nope the gangs not here yet well guess I better scout the area before they get here."
1603AD Feudal Japan Market Rooftops
Ghost jumped around listening to every word. "Hey did you here about Rioichi Cooper?"
Ghost was over joyed to find something all she could hear was strange Haiku and weird guard conversations which made her cringe. "Quiet fool we're not allowed to say anything about him or his whereabouts."
"Drat and I was close fine I guess I could look around more but I better find a hideout first."
Ghost jumped from building to building searching for a good hideout until she found a cave. As she entered she saw so much room for just her. "Guess when the guys get here I'll tell them about this place for now I'll just clean the place a little."
One hour later
After cleaning the cave she heard voices so she ran to the side hoping to catch whoever it was of guard.
"This is my secret hide away no one no's of this place." Ghost then hit the intruder on the head with the Scorpion tail knocking them down. "Ha gotcha!" But Ghost saw the intruder was a brown fur raccoon along with three other people.
"SLY!" Ghost ran to the raccoon and hugged him and he the same but Ghost turned to the other raccoon who was rubbing his head. "Uh oh you must be Rioichi sorry!" Ghost put her hand out pull him up on his feet.
"That was not amusing." But that just made Ghost laugh. "I said im sorry I thought you were a guard."
Sly grabbed Ghost shoulder giving a confused look. "Wow that's the first time that's happened."
"How did you get here and why?"
Ghost winked at Sly giving him a positive smile. "Sly you should know by now I like to keep my little secrets."
Sly just rolled his eyes and gave her a smile. "Well we all have are little secrets Rivi."
Ghost eyes glared at Sly as he smiled she looked like she was going to blow, she walked to Sly who now wished he said nothing and grabbed him by his shirt. "NEVER USE MY REAL NAME OR CALL ME RIVI EVER!"
The noise attracted Bentley and Murray who were overjoyed to see her. Murray ran to her and hugged her crushing her at the same time. "M-Murray C-can't B-breath!" Murray let go of her watching as she dropped on the floor breathing in and out fast. "Sorry Ghost I sometimes don't no my own strength."
Ghost got up fast on to her feet and just smiled. "Wow and I thought getting beaten by Desmond was bad you could have taken him on with one of you hugs." Murray smiled with glee at the response Bentley wheeled to Ghost with another smile but she felt bad but she at lest pretended to be happy.
"It's great to see you again Ghost how have you been?"
"I been fine just keeping a look on people to see I anyone needed help."
"So you been watching us to?"
The Cooper gang all looked at Ghost as she nodded her head Bentley had to ask.
"Have you seen Penelope she's despaired and I don't no where she could be."
Ghost was dredging this question she didn't want to say. "No sorry Bent."
Bentley looked down by the answer. "Oh well im sure will find her soon."
Ghost quickly remembered her time machine and got it out to show Bentley.
"Hey Bent you think you can upgrade this at all?"
Bentley looked at the piece of Tec and marvelled at it. "Where did you get this?"
Ghost didn't like lying to him but she did anyway. "Its complicated."
"This is quite outstanding for a small time machine and you repaired it?"
Ghost laughed. "No I showed it to Julie she was the closest thing to repairing it besides you."
Bentley just gazed at it then Sly snapped him out of his trance. "Hey Japan to Bentley you there."
"W-what oh sorry Sly im just wondering who could have made this."
Sly shuck his head and the gang along with Ghost sat at the table listening to Rioichi story.
After Rioichi finished Ghost remand quiet listening to the gang talking until they noticed how quiet she was.
"Umm Ghost are you ok." Ghost looked up at Sly and gave a positive smile.
"Yeah why?" Sly rubbed his neck while Bentley and Murray stayed away from him just in case.
"Well your usually quite well loud when it comes to plans and other things."
Ghost remand still looking at the floor. "I don't know I mean I was like that before cause well that was my family and I guess since this is your family I guess I let you have the fun of planning."
Sly just smiled he knew Ghost wanted to help that's all that really mattered. "Im glad your here."
"Thanks I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Bentley planned out the what needed to be done and first was to get into Rioichi's sushi restaurant.
"So Bent what am I doing?" Bentley thought about what Ghost could do but nothing came to mind.
"Im sorry Ghost but theirs nothing really to do maybe you can go out and look around for El Jefe."
Ghost just breathed in and put on a pretend smile she hated getting the boring and terrible jobs.
"Ok Bent I'll do it for the team I guess." Ghost walked out of the cave and went into the town on top of the roofs but she noticed guard patrolling the rooftops. "Great must be cause of Sly busting Rioichi out this actually just made things more fun."
Ghost carefully creeped up behind the crane guards and the pig guards and took them out one by one.
"Finally I can have fun now what as I meant to do... Oh right search for anything to do with this El Jefe guy now if I was this guy where would I be." Ghost scanned the area until she saw a geisha house.
"Yep that's exactly were I be if I were him." Ghost jumped to the building and looked down to see two warthogs guarding the front door. "Right time to put on the old charm." Ghost jumped around the building and made her way toward the front and prepared to dance but before that she noticed a geisha walking out the back. "Fine I'll do it the easy way."
A couple of minutes later and Ghost came out in front of the guards dressed in a full geisha outfit which made there mouths drop to the floor as she walked past the door she felt like teasing them. "Please like any of you can handle me."
Ghost laughed in her mind as she walked into the house. when she got to the stage she saw what looked like a good description of El Jefe. "A tiger, army uniform, smoking a cigar got to him." Ghost made her way to him which caught his eye.
"Well, well what have we here a beautiful leopardess come before me." Ghost put on a pretend smile which seemed to work for anything. "I came to talk to you o great general El Jefe." Ghost bowed making the tiger losson up to her.
The two talked but nothing that Ghost needed but something catch her attention. "Wait what was that?"
"What about that stupied chawaw dog what was his name Torco Dao or something like that." Ghost was stun by this how could that gang boss be here he didn't no about these time machines.
"Where is he now?" El Jefe starred over at the corner. "He's been here as long as I have don't no why the boss wants this guy here something about a girl called Ghost." At that moment Ghost knew she was now forced in this what turned into a simple "I'll help you." Now turned into a battle for her as well.
"I must go now I have business to do." As Ghost got up El Jefe pinched her ass this enrage Ghost and she turned and punched the tiger right in the face stunning him for a second but the guards where now after Ghost who now took of the outfit and ran back to the base.
Small cave hideout
As she got to the cave only Bentley and Sly was there she looked around. "We're did Murray and Rioichi go?"
"Murray needed to get a gasha outfit and Rioichi when to help get it, im talking to Murray now."
Ghost walked to Sly who was looking at a picture of him kissing Carmelita on the cheek. "Ssseeee I told you that if you try hard you could get with her even if you faked amnesia to do it." Sly turned to a smiling Ghost.
"You knew about the whole thing?" Ghost giggled and winked at the raccoon. "I been keeping and eye on everyone and when I heard you had amnesia I knew it couldn't be true."
"So you where watching use?"
"From a distends, you and Carmelita make a good couple kinda bad she had to find out the hard way though."
Sly sighed and what was a smile turned into a frown. "I don't believe it!"
Sly turned to the excited leopardess. "What, what's wrong?"
"Well it's you when im sad you come in and grab my shoulder and give me that warm smile and now its turned around." Sly realised she was right and laughed. "Well I didn't see that happening any time soon."
Bentley moved to the two. "Ok Murray's got the outfit now can I look at your time machine and see if I can do anything to it for you." Ghost pulled out the machine and placed it on the table and Bentley tinker away but it didn't take long for him to finish what had been started.
"Hey Ghost I finished fixing the last piece and I must say Julie done an amazing job on this once we're done tell her to visit me and I can probably train her if she like."
"Wow she'd probably love to I promise to ask oh right what can you tell me about the time machine now you fixed it."
"Well now you can use it like a normal time machine set the place, time, and that's it oh and by the was I took the liberty to make these." Bentley handed what look like two watches to Ghost.
"Umm what are these?"
"If you give these to someone they can travel with you so your not on your own now." Ghost was delighted to say the least. "Great now I better put these away and tell you what happened."
Ghost told Bentley about the chewawa from their time and that he's working for the same person who works for El Jefe.
"What could that mean?"
"I don't no Bent but they seem to know about me."
Sly walked over and grabbed her by the shoulder with the same smile. "About time that smile came out I missed it."
"Ha anyway I was going to say we're here for you as much as your here for us so if this guy gives you trouble will help."
"Don't worry Sly I can take this guy on by myself after all me and Spectre took his guard down in a matter of minutes."
As Ghost continued to rant Murray and Rioichi walked in and as Ghost demonstrated how she wacked the bull she accidently hit Rioichi over the head again. "OH GOD IM SOOOOO SORRY RIOICHI!"
Ghost got him up on his feet leaving Rioichi dazed. "I must really practices my reflexes to make certain this never happens again." Ghost gave a worrying look she didn't really no him well but she felt like an ass for hitting him even though it was accidental but Rioichi just looked back at her with a determent look. "Please miss Ghost put me down at that set."
Ghost then helped him to the seat and gently placed him on the seat. "Are you ok? Im sorry I keep hitting you."
"Miss Ghost like the winds of fate you may never no when you will get hurt."
Ghost smiled and walked to Bentley. "So what going on now?"
"Well now that we got Murray into that geisha outfit we can get El Jefe's plans."
Ghost turned to Murray who was still wearing the outfit which made her cringe "Aaarrrr Murray never wear woman clothes ever again."
Murray looked at himself in a mirror. "I don't know I look fine." Ghost just stood there and face parm herself
"Anyway im going to dig up more dirt on this Torco and what he's doing here."
"Sounds like a plan while you do that me and Murray are going fishing."
"Wait fishing I thought you wanted this done fast."
"Its for Rioichi so he can make his special sushi to knock out the guards."
Ghost looked pleased to say the least. "Ok im going be back soon."
Market area
Ghost remand in the shadows and kept an eye out for the chewawa but she couldn't find any trace of him.
"Where could that ass wipe be I got a bone to pick with him."
As Ghost looked high and low she remembered that he never left the geisha house. "That randy bastard he's even worse then Adrian when he was single."
As she entered the house from the roof she saw him still in the same corner with more girls. "I can't wait to do this I been wanting to use this." Ghost took a small ball of her belt and chucked it at the corner. After it hit the ground a cloud of green gas formed which knocked the group out allowing Ghost to take the dog easily but the guard still chased her but using her wits she got away and without no damage.
One hour later
When the dog woke up he saw he was inside a small house but the room was slightly dark only a candle was giving him light until from the dark came a voice. "So Torco how did you get here?" The dog was trembling at Ghost voice echoing around the dim lighted room.
Ghost walked out of the shadow towards the terrified dog and grabbed his jaw aiming his directly at hers. "Im only saying this one more time how did you get here?" Torco eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth "I wont say anything the boss guy would kill me!" Ghost smiled sinisterly which made the dog panic. "Ironically I hoped you say that it just makes this more fun for me."
Ghost vanished into the shadows and didn't return for awhile until she reappeared with the Scorpion tail, which she walked around the tired up chewawa and repeated to him. "Tell me how did you get here."
"Never I wont say anything!" Ghost the stood in front of the dog and without warning she used the weapon and smashed it on Torco's knee smashing it make blood spout from it, causing the dog to scream in pain but Ghost remand calm gazing at the next knee. "Are you going to tell me now or would you like me to smash your other knee?" Torco eyes teared up all he could do was shake his head "Im sorry but I can't" Ghost sighed and lifted the weapon readying it for the strike until.
"But I can tell you that the boss knows your involved and all your friends are also in danger." This however angered her and she smashed the weapon on his knee destroying his knee like the other leaving him in pain as she walked into the shadow. After leaving Torco for half an hour Ghost came back with a smile instead of the sinister grin. "Look I promise I'll let you go but tell me how you got here?" Torco was silent he didn't move or speak. "... Please Torco end this I don't want to do this I came to help my friend and if my family and friends are in danger cause of me then I wont forgive myself!"
The chewawa slightly moved and looked at Ghost in the eyes and spat at her. "G-go to h-hell!" Ghost shuck her head in shame she went back into the shadow and came back with the Scorpion tail but she had the sinister smile back on her face. "Im sorry you feel that way if you wont tell me anything then your of no use to me." Screams could be heard coming from the house but no one could here them. "W-what have I done?"
Sly and the Cooper gang in the cave hideout
Sly was relaxing at the table waiting for Bentley's word to move out but something caught his mind. "Hey where's Ghost?" Bentley and Murray shrugged their shoulders. "The only thing I remember was she was looking for that guy she saw in the geisha house that was around two hours ago." Sly didn't like to over react as Ghost can look after herself but he just didn't feel right about this but he told himself. "She'll be back later knowing her."
Rioichi walked into the hideout with the gangs eyes on him. "It is all set now we must get past the dragon gate to El Jefe." The gang assembled and ran (and wheeled) outside to there positions.
Sly positioned himself on top of a gateway staring down at the guards who are now sleeping thank to Rioichi's special sushi rolls. "Ok everyone lets go over the plan." Bentley explained the plan taking a minute to explain. Sly got to work straight away opening the gate with the gang right behind him.
As the gang ran ahead they ran to the bridge with the tiger on the other side gloating calling his guards as he walked into the door leaving the rat guard. Rioichi quickly made his way under the bridge to open the door while the gang took out the guards.
Rioichi came up from the side of the bridge with the gang all set to enter the door, Rioichi ran ahead but was jumped by El Jefe and his cane taken. "Ha! It's my!" He chucked Rioichi aside. "My cane!" The tiger then took out his blades and ran across the bridge, dragging them on the wood setting the bridge in fire the tiger the jumped and crashed down on the ground with his swords destroying most of the burnt bridge. "Sorry Cooper... you lose! I need to deliver this puny stick to a new owner!" Sly turned to the gang. "Don't worry Rioichi I'll get your cane back you guys protect him for me." Sly jumped across the partly destroyed bridge.
While Bentley and Murray got Rioichi up a unexpected visitor showed up causing both the turtle and hippo to jump. "Ghost! Were have you been?" Ghost rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a long story. Hey where's Sly and more impotently where's Rioichi's cane?" The raccoon clenched his hands into a fist in anger looking at the door on the other side. "That tiger took it!" Ghost looked apologetic. "Don't worry miss Ghost Sly has gone to retrieve it for his claws." Ghost looked at the gang. "Ok lets get back to the hideout then and wait for Sly." Ghost lead the team out though the dragon gate and back into the town.
On top of the El Jefe statue
It's been a couple of minutes and Sly was battling El Jefe but the only thing which really hurt Sly was the tigers bad jokes. But finally Sly defeated him and was about to take the cane but fate had other plans as a gas grenade was chucked at Sly's feet forcing him flee then two rats came down on a rope then began to shoot Sly so he jumped of the edge and hang on to the wooden platform with his cane. The rat stopped and looked to his partner who got the cane both grabbed onto the rope. Sly peeked and looked at the blimp, he saw a shadowy figure gazing down at him Sly gave a angry stare at it before the figure walked away. The rats were pulled away by the blimp but luck smiled on the raccoon as on of the rats dropped a sheriff badge which landed right next to Sly.
Back at the cave hideout
The gang waited patiently for Sly return but where at the same time nerves. After around an hour or so Sly came thought the cave with a glum look. "Sly! What happened?" Sly took a deep breath and sighed explaining what happened.
The hideout went quiet for a couple of minutes knowing this may have been a lose but they couldn't give up. "Well let check on Dimitri to see which ancestor in trouble now." Bentley contacted the purple iguana and found out that Sly's western ancestor Tennessee kid Cooper was in trouble now. "Ha what a stroke of luck that the rat guard happened to drop that of all things." What Ghost said cheered Sly up a bit the gang said there goodbyes to Rioichi leaving Ghost the last one. "Bye Rio it's been nice knowing you." Rioichi looked confused. "Rio?" Ghost chuckled. "Well it's kinda strange to always call you by your real name so I shortened it like Bent over there." Rioichi smiled and bowed. "Very well miss Ghost but I don't think this is a goodbye but a new beginning." Ghost just nodded her head not wanting to ask cause she didn't understand. The Cooper gang looked at the leopardess knowing what they were going to say. "Sorry guys but I wont be going with you. But I promise I'll be with you as long as the tracker is in the van I'll now where you guys are." The gang nodded and got in the van preparing to leave right away Ghost walked outside and activated her time machine sending her thought the time vortex straight back home.
Present time Julie and Spectre's home
Ghost was flung out of the vortex and into the arms of her brother. "Wow your back early." Ghost looked at her brother with a confused look. "What do you mean back early?" Spectre laughed. "Aww time travel, well you just left about a minute ago and we just got in the house." Ghost rubbed her head. "Yep you got to love time travel that reminds me where's Julie?" Without warning she came running though the door. "YOUR BACK! Sssoooo how was it?" Ghost slowly explained everything including the danger they were in to.
One hour later
"So your telling us were in danger just cause your helping Sly?" Ghost just nodded with a sad look on her face but she didn't see what was coming. "THATS AWESOME!" Ghost looked up. "No that's not awesome your in danger." But Ghost remembered what Bentley gave her. "The watches!" The two looked at her strangely. "The what?"
"Yeah Bentley upgraded the time machine and gave me these so I can take two people with me."
"R-really so we can go with you!?" Ghost nodded with a smile. "Oh that reminds me Bentley really liked your work on the time machines and wants to talk." Julie was shocked by that comment. "R-really?" Ghost smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Yeah he wants to teach you a bit more." Julie went all excited and red all of a sudden causing both the Meadows to be concerned. "Err what's up with her?" Ghost turned to Spectre and smiled giving him a wink. "Did you not you know play in her playground." Spectre went all red and angry. "Why is it you always bring up sex into a conversation." Ghost giggled Spectre grunted and turned around. "Well should we get going then?"
Ghost pulled out the time machine and the watches and gave them to the two cats who equipped them. "So where are we going then?" Ghost looked at the Cooper gang signal and located them. "Aha there in 1884 AD, ok all set!?" The cats nodded and were waiting for Ghost. "Ok lets go!" Ghost pressed the button and the three were sapped into the time vortex making there way to the Cooper gang van.
1884 AD Old west
As the time vortex opened it flung Ghost out. "Ok guys we are." Ghost turned trying to look for Julie and Spectre but only saw Sly in a jail outfit and another raccoon in the same outfit. "Here?"
"OOOHHH HELL!"
