Sly and Carmelita had finally arrived at the arena, after what felt like a half hour drive. They entered, and saw a waiting room with a desk that read,
"FIGHT LISTINGS"
Sly and the Vixen both checked the fights that were going to happen. Sly's opponent was a Ms. Freeda Feline. Sly laughed at the name, realizing the irony of it. He walked out into the arena, and Carmelita walked into the spectator stands.
"Goodbye my cute little Raccoon, and good luck."
Carmelita gave Sly a kiss on the check before finally heading into the stands. Sly's face flushed into a bright red. He realized he was blushing and tried to get rid of it as quickly as possible before finally heading into the arena, and sitting in the competitors stand to watch the first fight.
"And our first fight, Hilton Breeze versus Lamar Sillhock!"
Sly realized that the arena was filled with extremely odd people and names. Hilton walked up into the arena, who was a brightly yellow colored bird wearing a red hoodie and a hockey mask with dragons on each side of it. He was carrying a sword that was a bright blueish color, and written on it with dark red letters on one side of the blade read:
"Stick in between second and third rib and twist."
Sly had never been so scared in his life. What kind of horrible thieves were these people? These people were dark, and he slowly began to regret joining the tournament. He just wanted to go home and watch a movie with Carmelita, but there was no turning back now. Lamar walked onto the arena as well. He was a brown and black bear wielding a baseball bat that was stained with blood. Sly watched in horror as the fight began. Hilton began to use the poles for leverage, and tried to jump on Lamar from above. Lamar quickly dodged and took advantage of the defenseless Bird standing before him. He hit him on the head, and Hilton fell. The bear then began to quickly bludgeon the poor bird, hitting non-stop until he was beating on nothing but a pathetic, bloody pulpy mess.
"And the winner is…Lamar Sillhock! Our next fight will be Sly Cooper versus Freeda Feline! Good luck to both fighters. And please, somebody quickly get the loser to our healing chamber as quickly as possible!"
Sly was relieved with the fact that they had healing chambers, as he stepped into the arena.
He noticed his opponent. A beautiful, skinny black cat with green eyes. She smiled at Sly, and he smiled back, waving. Her large green eyes looked at him, and he felt like he was falling in love all over again. Carmelita noticed that Sly was eyeing the girl, and anger rushed through her. She was two seconds from jumping into the arena and killing Sly, but she decided to calm down. Freeda pulled out her weapon of choice, which was a very sharp, yet short knife. The handle had green and blue marble within it, a simply exquisite choice of weaponry. The fight started, and Sly rushed towards Freeda. She jumped right over Sly and went to shank him in his scalp. Luckily, he dodged the move, but was still pushed to the ground by his opponent. Freeda tried to stab Sly in multiple areas, but he was luckily able to dodge every single one of her attacks. Sly kicked the cat off of his stomach, and used his cane to pull her towards him. He hit her in the knees so she fell, and whispered in her ear,
"Nice try sweetie. Call me sometime."
He quickly stuck her on the side of the head so she was knocked out, but he did it lightly. He believed that nothing as beautiful as her should be hurt in a harsh fashion. It would be like plucking the wins from an angel.
"AND OUR WINNER…MR. SLY COOPER!"
The crowd loudly shouted and screamed. Sly looked up and saw Carmelita giving him a thumbs up as he sat in the competitors stand once again.
"Our next fight! Lamar Sillhock versus…
