I don't own Sly Cooper.

Chapter One

Paris, France. 3:56 A.M. 2 months later

A small window opens from outside of the famous Cooper Gang's hideout. Light blue eyes shine amidst the dark and scan the room. Confident that no one was around, it flicks its ear and enters the room. While within range of the moonlight, it revealed itself to be a Siberian Husky. It has three black bangs falling alongside its forehead and a cocky smirk along its white muzzle. It had a small earpiece in its right ear, which had a microphone that was held by its mouth. It wore a black jacket and wore blue baggy jeans.

"The coast is clear," it whispered. The deep, husky voice confirmed that it was a male. Then a large dark gray rhino appears in the window and tries to push through it. Its horn was a dull gray and had a small crack on the side of it. It wore a red shirt and had a tuf of black hair on its head. It finally manages to push through and fell to the floor loudly and snickered.

"Knock it off." The husky hissed quietly. The rhino gets up and dusts himself off.

The husky rolls his eyes and scans the room for anything valuable. He then presses a button on the earpiece and said,"Stew, we're in. Time for the next step?" He asked through the microphone.

A bit of static is heard before a reply comes.

"Roger Scott," a high nasal voice said. But it was definitely a boy. "Just have to hack into the vault's security mainframe. Get to the vault door without making a sound. By the time you get there, I'd have hacked the system for easy entrance." Scott then made his way towards the door and opened it slightly. Checking to make sure no around, he slinks in with the rhino behind him. As they sneak the rhino hits a table and the vase on top starts to hobble.

"Dan, the vase!" Scott hissed. Dan turns around and grabs the vase before it falls. He then puts it back on the stand and gives a sheepish grin. Scott rolls his eyes and maked his way down the hall. Making sure no one heard anything, he signals for Dan to come around.

"And please don't hit anything." Scott whispered. Dan gives an okay sign and sneaks through the hallway... with as much stealth as a buffalo has. He hit two tables, a lamp and the exact same vase he caught, all fell to the ground. Scott smacks his head as Dan looks at the damage and says, "Did I do that?" (1)

"Hey," a voice said from behind a door. "What was that noise?"

Scott grabbed Dan by his horn and hauled him into the other hallway before the door opened and revealed Sly. He looks around for a bit before shrugging and went back to bed. Scott then whacks Dan upside the head.

"Way to go Dan," he hissed.

"I'm a rhino. My prime nature is to break stuff, accidental or not." Dan retorted. They then make their way towards an enormous vault door with a small computer screen on it. On the screen was a black swallow with a tuft of white feathers sticking out of its chest. It wore googles on its head and its wings were crossed over it's chest.

"What the heck happened up there? They could hear you in Rome!" It was the same nasal voice from before.

"Sorry Stew. Dan here isn't exactly the stealthy type," Scott said, pointing at Dan. "Why didn't you come," he asked.

"Oh come on guys, we've been over this. I wouldn't be any help out there, my place is here." Stew said.

"We could use a birdseye view, if you know what I mean," Scott said, crossing his arms. "Stew, you're a bird. You were made to fly, which is why I still don't understand why you're scared of heights." He said, as Stew opened his mouth to argue.

"I don't know why I'm scared. I just... am," Stew said. "Anyways, hold on. I'll open the vault for you," he said, typing on his computer. Scott hears a small clink and the huge door opens up. "Now be careful. And I mean it this time!" The screen then blacks out.

"Come on Dan. Let's see if we can find anything worthwhile in here," Scott said, entering the vault. Dan quickly follows and slams the vault door. Unfortunately, he aroused the whole gang in the process.

Inside the vault, Scott and Dan were taking as much as they could.

"Hey Scott, look at this. Isn't this when we stole the Jewel of Scareb and left the ghost for Cooper and his misfit gang last month?" Dan said, looking at a picture. It showed the Cooper Gang fighting a huge ghost that looked like a genie while three figures were running away.

"Oh yeah. I would kill to see that look on Cooper's face again!" Scott said, snickering. They then make their way deeper into the vault. But as they progressed, it started to get darker.

"Yeesh! I can't see my own hand in front of my face!" Dan commented.

"You're right... what's that sound?"

"What sound?"

"That sound!"

"Sounds kind of like a-"

"Firework."

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM

"Run for it!" Scott yelled, as fireworks came sizzling out of the walls of the dark room.

"There's a door! Stay on my tail!" Dan yelled. He then charges down the hallway with Scott right behind him. He lowers his head and sends his horn right through the door and yanks it off its hinges, then freed his horn by jerking it out of the barrier. The two then charge into the room.

"We should've known Cooper would convince the Panda King to put some fireworks in here." Scott panted. He then looks over and sees a book inside of a glass dome. He then walks over and reads the title.

"Hey Stew? You got any data on something called, "The Thievius Raccoonous?" Scott asked, through the earpiece.

"You have the Thievius Raccoonous? With that baby, you'll be able to do all of Cooper's moves!" Stew exclaimed. Scott then lifts up the dome and swipes the book.

"Never thought I'd say this... but I can't wait to read." Scott said.

"Then you're going have to put that on hold." Scott spins around to find the Cooper Gang guarding the only way out. He looks over and sees Dan rubbing his head near a dent in the wall.

"Uh Stew? We have a problem." Scott said, and got into a fighting stance.

"Hold on, I'm sending her in,"Stew said. They all then hear a whirling noise coming from outside. The next thing everyone knew, a small copter comes in through one of the windows. It was white with blue flames painted on it and gray propellers.

"Grab on guys!" The helicopter then lowers a grapple hook. Scott and Dan run up to the grapple and latched on. The copter than takes off back out the window.

"Oh no you don't! Panda King, take out that copter!" Sly exclaimed. The Panda King then places some rockets in his basket and takes aim. He fires, striking the copter.

"Sorry guys. I'll have to make an emergency landing, you have to outrun them!"

"Don't worry Stew. We'll be fine." Scott said.

"We will?" Dan asked. Before he got a reply, the copter lands a roof and caught on fire. Dan and Scott then take off over the rooftops, hoping to evade the Cooper Gang.


There it is!

So what do you think?
