But, for all you fluff haters out there *Throws frying pan at you* There's tragedy too, so don't complain to me, GOT IT! Good, now that we understand each other, GOOD-BY! ENJOY!

Egyptian Terror: Chapter Two: Why Abubakar Hurts:

Three arrows fly through the glimpsing, dark sky, and lands down on 3 Egyptian thieves trying to steal from the tombs. Abubakar lands and escorts a team over there to collect the bodies, everyone cheering.

"Sir," one begins to say, "We can take these bodies from here. Just take it easy."

"Thank you." Abubakar answers. "Get these dead bodies to the great pyramid. They'll be mummified for their actions!"

"YES SIR!" They say, hoarding off the three bodies. Abubakar sighs, and jumps on top of the buildings. "Now, to find you." He thinks to himself. "Where are you, Sly?"

Abubakar jumps to a few more buildings, then sits down to rest. His legs are dangling over the side of the building, and he perches back down on his back, his bow and arrows beside him, as he begins to think. "Why Slytunkhamen…..why? Why did you have to do it? Why did you have to kill my Akila and Isiss, why?" Abubakar thinks to himself. He begins to have a flashback of what he's talking about now.

FLASHBACK BEGIN: 2 YEARS AGO:

The side of Tutunkhamen's royal pyramid is destroyed, and out of it comes running Slytunkhamen, and Abubakar with some of the pharaoh's jewels. While both of them are running and panting, Abubakar turns his head to Slytunkhamen.

"SLY, THERE'S TOO MANY GUARDS! YOU TAKE THE NORTH SIDE, I'LL TAKE THE WEST SIDE, WE'LL MEET UP AT THE SAFE BUGGY, LET'S GO!"

"GOT YA, ABUBAKAR!" He answers. Sly, holding in one hand the three bags of jewels that he snatched, takes out one of his Egyptian Khopesh things, and flings it at the guards carrying spheres behind him, and it boomerangs to all 10 of them, knocking them out cold.

Abubakar is using mega jumps to get to the rooftops to avoid the guards. They throw their spheres up, but misses at every attempt to hit him. He keeps running, and eventually comes to a dead end in a very dark alley, and the Pharaoh Tutunkhamen lands in front of him. Tutunkhamen is a couple years younger than last chapter, because this is a flashback to two years in the past. So, he looks younger as well. He's wielding a giant battle ax. It has 5 razor sharp blades on each end, making it 10 blades in all. It's almost as long as his body and it's generating a slight bit of electricity.

"So, Fox, I've got you cornered do I?" He says grinning, and walking towards Abubakar. "You'll be an excellent sacrifice to Anubis!" He says. Abubakar turns around, and sees an army of guards carrying shields, spears, cudgels, maces, daggers, bows and arrows, quivers and battle axes.

Without much time to think, and unwilling to give up her prize just yet, Abubakar puts all 3 of the bags she got into one hand, and skillfully gets her bow out, and shoots of a round of arrows at the guards with just one hand. She takes a few out, but not all of them. When they're distracted, Tutunkhamen yelling at them to regain focus, Abubakar jumps into the crowd taking a few more out with some punches, then skillfully wall jumps from one side of building to the next until she gets out of the alley. He keeps running, until he gets to the location where he sees the safe Buggy down below. He quickly turns invisible, a technique that Slytunkhamen taught him. As Tutunkhamen and the remainder of his guards approach, they see nobody, so just assume that Abubakar got away.

"Men, find them! No matter what you have to do! Bring them to justice! They must be mummified for their crimes!" Tutunkhamen bellows. He disappears into thin air, as does his guards. Abubakar turns visible chuckling at the pharaoh's stupidity, and jumps down, entering the safe buggy. Slytunkhamen is already there. In the midst of him, you also see Mikak, and Musoli. Musoli is at the table that is made out of wood, eating some food off a plate that is made out of hay, (YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!). Mikak is at the same table reading out of a book that reads, "Egyptian Folklore", and Slytunkhamen is sitting in a chair waiting for you to get back.

"Hey buddy. It took you long enough!" Slytunkhamen teases. "You got the goods?"

"You bet!" Abubakar exclaims, holding up the three bags that he got with a smile on his face. He then walks further into the buggy, closing the door behind him before Tutunkhamen and his guards comes by and sees him. "Sorry I'm late. I got caught by old scary himself." Abubakar chuckles at his own joke, and then sits down at the table. He takes a deep breath, and then Mikak gives him a hay plate full of food. Slytunkhamen stands up and walks over to his. Everyone else begins eating, (Musoli was already eating, remember).

"So, how was the Pharaoh?" Slytunkhamen asks. "Did he pull out any new tricks?"

"Not really. He had some sort of an electrified power on his weapon, but other than that nothing. And, I don't really think that it's anything to worry about, myself."

Mikak looks up from his plate at what Abubakar just said, and speaks in his nasally voice, much like Bentley would. "Did you say electricity? What kind of strange sorcery was that?" He asks.

"Not sure. It was some sort of red and black electricity power, (think inFAMOUS if you activate the ray sphere), that had a long range."

"Well, maybe we had better look into that." Mikak exclaims, with Bentley's usual worried tone.

"Mikak, you worry too much, you know that?" Slytunkhamen says with a chuckle.

"Well, I'm just looking after my best friends, if that's OK with you!" Mikak responds hurtfully.

Abubakar snickers. "Calm down Mikak, we know that you're only looking out for us. We'd be lost without you. Without your genus, we would have never been able to get through Tutunkhamen's security to obtain these jewels."

"Well, that's true." Mikak says, everyone laughing.

Later that day, Slytunkhamen and Abubakar are sitting on the horses on the outside of the buggy, because it got moved to a dark alley.

"You know", Abubakar begins, "I really enjoy running with you. Stealing from this corrupt Pharaoh has been such a great ride, it really has, and I feel that it'll never stop."

"Of course it won't buddy. We're pals. We'd never let our adventures stop. We've been best friends since we were kids. Always stealing from the higher power of the land. With you, me, and our two other buddies Mikak, and Musoli, there's no way that anything will ever be able to stop us. We'll keep stealing, and take them on into our later generations."

"Yeah, that's what I've been hoping for, Sly." Abubakar exclaims.

Abubakar's real time voice briefly voice over's the flashback for a brief time. "But, how much did I not know back then, that things were about to change, awfully fast."

The next scene is at an old looking tower shaped like an owl. There's an old own orbiting it. He looks a lot like Clockwerk, except he has no robotic machinery. A minion of his in black cloak walks up to this mysterious owl and the owl lands.

"Master Abais. I have located Slytunkhamen Cooper! Your majesty, it is time for you to fulfill your destiny!"

"Ah yes. I shall make Slytunkhamen and Abubakar turn against each other, if its' the last thing I do! I'll make his whole life a living hell! HAHAHAHAHA!" He exclaims evilly. "Now go, I must prepare myself!" He orders. His minion leaves. Abais flies up to the top of his tower, and perches on top, glaring into the rising sunlight. "GA! This sun rises too much. It makes me sick! But soon, very soon, I shall obtain world domination, and take down Slytunkhamen, Abubakar, and their pathetic, worthless, and miserable gang, once and for all! I swear it!" He grins sadistically, and flies off into the sun rise, to commence his plans.

Slytunkhamen and Abubakar are outside of their main location of the gang, and old desert, and are talking to one another. Abubakar is holding a picture of a beautiful fox woman with long, slider black hair, very skinny, but not anorexic, and the most gorgeous smile on her face. Slytunkhamen walks over with an amused look.

"Hey buddy, what are you looking at here?"

Abubakar turns around, blushing. "Huh? Oh, it's nothing really." He says lying.

"So, who's she." Sly asks knowing that he's lying. "She's beautiful." He exclaims.

"Yeah, I know. The most beautiful. I met her on our last heist at the market before I made my escape. She gave me her picture, and address. Sly, I think I'm in love."

"Heh, lucky you. You know how I act around beautiful women. I can't stand myself, I get so tensed up, I start to sweat, and panic. You, however, have always been great with the ladies."

"Heh, yeah. I'm going to meet her tonight. Her name is Akila. I'm really hoping for this, pal. Will you be there for me?"

"Of course I will, al 3 of us will, we'll be there for each other forever, just like we promised when we first met. Through thick and thin. No matter what happens, we're friends forever." Sly exclaims.

Later that night, Abubakar is meeting up with this female fox in a dark alley. They met there because it would be too dangerous for Abubakar to meet with her in public. They meet, and take each other's hands. After a few moments of silence, they go through a nearby door, which just, luckily enough, happens to be Akila's home. Both of them sits down, and after a few more moments of silence, begins to speak.

"So", she begins, in a slider, sexy voice. "Abubakar is it? A master thief?"

"Yeah, that's right." He says. "Look, I don't' know about this, I….."

Akila cuts him off. "Abubakar, I love you. Nothing is ever going to change that."

"But, maybe this was a bad idea. The life of a master thief is never as fun as it seems. It's too dangerous, and I wouldn't want to be held responsible for putting your life in peril….I just couldn't live with myself if I did."

She silences him by putting her finger over his lips and says, "Shhhhh. Don't' talk. Kiss." She says, and then plants a big, passionate kiss on his lips, him sharing the kiss with her as well. He wraps his arms around her, and as does she, embracing the tender feel of her lips, the gentle way she kisses, and the great aroma of her hair blistering at his nose, pulling him in for more. After a few minutes they pull away, both stunned beyond belief.

"Abubakar….will you be with me forever…no matter what happens?"

"Yes…..I will…..I will always be with you…no matter what happens." He answers, embracing her in another tender, passionate kiss, and then after a few more minutes stops again. They continue to hug each other, and then exits the house. Abubakar proceeds to showing a safe way to get to their safe buggy. Once a the buggy, they're greeted by Slytunkhamen, Mikak, and Musoli. They introduce themselves as Mikak the brains, Musoli the brawn, and Slytunkhamen the stealth, (although, Mikak has to introduce Slytunkhamen, because he truly DOES seem to be extremely shy with the ladies). Akila shakes each of their hands, Slytunkhamen just shaking as her tender hand touches his, and she just giggles. Also, Musoli's hand nearly crushes hers. She walks inside with them, and makes herself at home.

Abubakar walks up and sits beside her putting his arm around her. "Hey, can I get you anything?"

"No thanks I am fine." She says smiling at Abubakar's kindness to her. They share another kiss, but it is a short lived one. Mikak speaks to them.

"So, you two look happy with each other." He exclaims.

Abubakar tries to speak up, but Akila cuts him out. "We are, in fact, we've agreed to get married already, so we can share our love on a different level." She says happily.

"Well, congratulations." Mikak says.

"Thank you very much!" Akila exclaims. "We're so happy, just a few months of knowing each other, and he already proposed to me! It's so exciting!"

It cuts to the wedding 8 months later.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest exclaims with enthusiasm. Both of them kiss a passionate, tender kiss, and then breaks away, married.

FLASHBACK BRIEFLY OVER:

Abubakar is still lying on the building top, thinking of the events of his past.

"I thought that it was going to be all happy and such…..but no…that traitor of a friend of mine, Slytunkhamen ll, had other plans!"

FLASHBACK AGAIN:

Slytunkhamen and Akila is speaking with each other, Slytunkhamen visibly making every attempt possible not to look frightened because of her beauty, but his attempts only makes her giggle even more. After they chat some more, she walks away, and Abubakar walks up to him.

"So, she's really something, isn't she?" Abubakar exclaims.

"Y-yeah, I think I'm jealous of you, dude. She's amazing, so nice, and so beautiful. I don't know how you do it. I wish I could be like that. Instead, I get fidgety every time I'm near a beautiful woman." He says mournfully.

"Don't beat yourself up pal. I'm sure you'll come around eventually."

"Thanks buddy, that means a lot to me, it really does." He says cheering up a little bit.

"Good, now prepare for the heist. It's gonna be her first heist, so we'll have to take it easy for now until she gets used to it."

Abubakar's voice from outside the flashback. "However, things took a turn for the worst exactly 1 year later.

One year later, Abubakar and Akila has a daughter together, that they named Isiss.

"She's so cute." Slytunkhamen exclaims. "I am so happy for you buddy, it's just been almost two years and already you've gone so far. Wish it could be me but hey, we're buds. Nothing will ever change that."

"Yeah, never." Abubakar agrees holding Isiss, silk blankets covering her, and makeshift passafire in her mouth, rocking her to sleep. "I am going to lay her down for sleep, OK?"

"Alright, I am going to lay down too. Mikak, and Musoli is already asleep, and I better get there, too."

Abubakar leaves to lay Isiss down. Slytunkhamen goes to his room. Later that night, Akila is going to the bathroom while everyone else is asleep, (not sure what they used for bathrooms back then….maybe buckets, not sure….probably not though. Let's just say that, and it's behind a door for privacy, yeah). Akila walks out, and hears a strange screeching noise from out back. She foolishly walks out without getting anyone else up to go with her to check on it, and she sees a horrible sight…..Isiss hanging up above tied to a rope, and an evil looking brown feathered owl hovering above laughing insanely. Akila instantly knows who he is, because he read the thievieus raccoonus on the tablets that Slytunkhamen showed her. He was the evil owl Abais, (the modern day Clockwerk). She stared into his gleaming, cold, and heartless eyes intent to kill her and her daughter. Without a second thought she tried to hurry back for the door, but 3 mysterious men in black cloaks stopped her, knocking her back. She slowly stands up in pain and looks at Abais.

"What do you want from me?" She asks frightened as she watches Abais hold up Slytunkhamen's weapons with his talons. "THOSE ARE SLYTUNKHAMEN'S! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH THEM!"

"My dear lady, those thieves in that household are in the way of my conquest. So, to insure that I get what I want, you must DIE!"

"How will that insure anything!" She exclaims.

"Oh, you will see!" He says. Without another word he swoops to Isiss and slashes her with Slytunkhamen's blades, then does the same for Akila. The pain that Akila faces is great, more than she ever has. With her last few breaths, she coughs up some blood, and then falls face first to the ground, blood spilling out of her body. Abais just simple laughs mocking their death, and flies up into the sky saying, "AT LAST, MY VICTORY SHALL COME TO FLUITION! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Slytunkhamen is the first to wake up to the screaming. He runs to the sources of the unbearable screams of agony, and sees the unbearable sight up Isiss and Akila all cut up out back. His weapons falls in front of him all tinted in blood. He looks up, and only sees a silhouette of a strange owl looking figure in the moon light, and a horrible screech of victory from said silhouette. The screech and silhouette disappears shortly afterward, leaving Slytunkhamen to face Abubakar. Abubakar wakes up shortly afterward, and quickly rushes over to where the noise is coming from hoping for the best. When he gets out there, he sees something that he hoped and prayed that he'd never have to see…Slytunkhamen with Isiss' and Akila's dead, cut up, and bloody bodies, holding his weapons that are tinted in their blood. Abubakar gasps at the sight, and begins to speak.

"S-Sly! What's going on! What are you doing! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" He exclaims jumping to conclusions. He grabs his bow and fills it with several arrows. "ANSWER ME!"

"Abubakar, buddy! No need to jump to conclusions, it's not what it looks like, I swear." Slytunkhamen assures standing up off of his knees and backing away holding his hands out in front of him in a cry for sensibleness. All Abubakar does is not lowers his bow, and just walks forward.

"What, you were too jealous of us, huh? You had to take out your vengeance on them!" He yells tears beginning to form in his eyes and silently falling to the ground. "What ever happened to friends forever! Being with each other through thick and thin! Best friends! That's what we were! Why Slytunkhamen, why'd you do it!"

"I didn't! It was Abais! I swear, this is his doing, not mine! He's trying to split us apart! Please, don't' do this!" Slytunkhamen pleads.

"SPARE ME THAT SHIT! If it was him, then why are YOUR weapons dirty?"

"He must have somehow stole them, I swear! As soon as I got out here, they fell right in front of me! Please, I'm begging you, you don't' want to do this!"

"You're right…..I don't…but I will…..TO AVENGE THEIR DEATHS!" He exclaims. He begins to chase after Slytunkhamen, who quickly manages to hide from him, and turns invisible. Abubakar, after spending a few more seconds searching gives up, and leaves. But, he doesn't leave just anywhere, he leaves to the great pyramid, to make a deal with Pharaoh Tutunkhamen.

FLASHBACK OVER:

Abubakar is lying on the roof still, pondering on his dark past with Slytunkhamen, and begins to form rough tears of sadness. He begins to speak in his mind.

"I…I just don't understand why he did it….why did he do it….was he trying to prove something, like that he's better than me or something? I know it has to have been out of jealousy, but still. We were the best of friends. We thought that the good times would never end, and our luck would never run out. Of course, I suppose that all good things must come to an end. Still. No matter the reason, it doesn't matter. I shall get my revenge for what he did to me, and bring him into justice, if it's the last thing that I ever do!"

With that, he stands up on the building that he's on, the wind blowing steadily through his fur, tears running down his face like a waterfall. Without another word, he mega jumps away into the darkness of the night, yelling, "I'LL FIND YOU COOPER!" as he goes.

A/N: YEAH, FLUFF! Well, kinda. Alright, there's a little bit of fluff during the flashback. Why? Well because, I LOVE FLUFF! Hehehe. But, for all you fluff haters out there *Throws frying pan at you* There's tragedy too, so don't complain to me, GOT IT! Good, now that we understand each other, GOOD-BY!
